Democrats Are Climate Change Insane

Former CIA analysts, Remember I can speak for three hours without a phone call. Try doing that sometime. It is Sexton. No whife on Earth is at risk. Climate change the single greatest concern for war. We are fighting for the survival of the planet Earth. It is a monumental crisis. It's about an existential threat to who we are as human beings. The UN has told us that we have about twelve years to get this right, for the consequences could be catastrophic. It is the issue the lens through

which we must do everything that we do. It is an everyday mission. We can lead the world on the greatest challenge that we've ever had. I would end all fossil fuel subsidies and I'm gonna take it a step further. I propose a constitutional amendment that makes it the responsibility in United States government to safeguard and protect our environment for future generations. This is on par with winning World War Two, perhaps even more challenging than that. Welcome to

the book Sex and Show. Wow, folks, Wow. I rarely I'm a radio host that ever really had a loss for words? Hopefully not. But does it get any crazier than what those Democrats were saying last night? Can you think of anything that is too extreme or exaggerated for them to say about the threat of climate change? What could be a bigger threat than existential in the end of existence, the end of humanity, the end perhaps of

a habitable planet. This is not an exaggeration. They say this repeatedly, explicitly, and they say it with a certainty that should be terrifying to everybody, because who the heck are all these people that think that they understand what the world's gonna be like in fifty years. I don't know the world's gonna be like in five years. I was overwhelmed. Now I did not watch all seven hours. I don't know if any human being in America watched

all seven hours. I doubt it, but I did watch as much of it as I could stomach a lot of the clips of it. And this is where the Democratic Party is right now. This is what they're really all about. This is what they believe. They think that we are in an existential battle for the future of the human race. They don't act like it as individuals, but they want the control as a government body. They want the control from up above to tell us all how to live our lives, what we can do, how

the economy should function. This is where the Democratic Party has gone to an extreme that should be worrying through all of us. I mean, I go back and forth. I'm not always sure if we should laugh or cry about this. That this is a position that is supposed to be held by the intelligent, by the well educated,

by the well meaning. That climate change means we only have ten years to make massive changes to our lives in this country that would make us much poorer, that would all kinds of technological growth and prosperity that have real consequences, good and bad in people's lives. They're willing to do all of this. Here's what I'm going to tell you this. Unfortunately, this hysteria is not really new. It is cyclical. There was a book that was written back I think it was a nineteen sixty eight The

Population Bomb, by doctor Paul Erlic. I'll just read to you a little bit from the prologue of this. This book sold millions of copies and had a very real impact on the scientific community around the world. Some even say it led to some of the horrific population control policies that many countries around the world implemented, most well known as China's one child policy, but there are other

countries too, with forced sterilization. These bad ideas that democrats are trotting out last night, keep in mind, if they could, they would, they're serious about this stuff. Well, here's what doctor hashtag science Erlic was writing back in the late nineteen sixties, and then in the nineteen seventies this became a phenomenon. Quote, the battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties, hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite

of any crash programs embarked upon. Now, at this late date, nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate, although many lives could be saved through dramatic programs to stretch the caring capacity of the earth by increasing food production and providing for more equitable distribution of whatever food is available, But these programs will only provide a stay of execution unless they are a companied by determined and

successful efforts at population control. Population control is the conscious regulation of the numbers of human beings to meet the needs, not just of individual families, but of society as a whole. End quote. Now, I don't have to tell you this guy wasn't a little bit wrong. He was totally wrong,

as wrong as wrong gets. Not only do we not have mass die off of hundreds of millions of people, population growth has exploded globally, and our biggest health crisis in the developed world in particular is overeating is too many calories. We have more people than ever before, we have more food than ever before. So he couldn't have been more wrong. He was wrong in a way that would be hard to replicate. And you may be saying, well, Buck,

but that's population control. How does that? Well? Of course, there's the the scientific movement here. Zierra Club involved in the publication of this, a lot of scientists saying, you know, we're and oh, some of you are probably saying, wait, buck, what about what about Mauthis? Back in the nineteenth century.

Didn't Mauthis have a similar thesis, the Malthusian thesis, that we would population would reach a point where we could not feed it anymore, and then there'd have to be massive reduction over time in population because we can't feed all the people, and there might be if there's famines and things, mass die off that occurs as well, because our food supply will be so precarious and overstretched. Oh that's right. John Thomas Mouthis he thought that too. He

was a really smart guy hashtag science. People thought he was right. Yeah. There are many, many times more people globally in the world now than there were when Mouthis was writing that. What does it have to do with population control? Oh? I don't know. Maybe because last night Bernie Sanders, when he was asked about how we have to fight climate change, explicitly said, yeah, you know, we should probably have abortions in third world countries so there

are less people. This is what he's saying. We should have abortions in third world we need more population control to help fight with climate to help fight climate change, So that means America needs to start pushing and funding abortions all over the world. Let's kill more babies to stop climate change. I'm not making this up, folks, this is what he said. Human population growth has more than doubled in the past fifty years. The planet cannot sustain

this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians, but it's crucial to face. Empowering women and educating everyone on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss this issue and make it a key feature of a

plan to address climate catastrophe Monthly d answers Yes. I think, especially in poor countries around the world, where women do not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies, and where they can have the opportunity through birth control to control the number of kids, they have something. I very very strongly support population control, folks, and weren't want to get into more specifics about abortion, but population control, that's

what they're advocating. They were advocating population control fifty years ago. Then it was because we were going to run out of food. They said, this is the scientists or we're going to run out of food now. And you might say, buck, that wasn't all scientists, Yeah, but the people that study food and population growth. This became the fad. This became what if you were in this area, just like with climatologists. Now you want to have the loneliest, loneliest professional life

in the world. Be a climatologist who says, you know, we really can't predict the future. We don't know, and we shouldn't make We shouldn't take drastic measures that we know will absolutely have a major cost associated with them based on what is at best and educated guests about what the future of climate will be. You want to be that guy. You're gonna have no friends, no grant money, probably get death threats. This end of times based on

science ideology is not new. We've been through this before. These people are wrong, they're wrong. They can't tell what the future of the world will be. They can't tell you what science is going to be able to do.

And yet they want us to make decisions right now that would be horrifically counterproductive and that would have very real costs that that fad of population control as necessary to save us for mass starvation in the seventies that led into forced sterilization in India, China's one child policy. You know, you can trace this thinking all the way, all the way back to the origins of the eugenics movement,

that we have to control the population. Eugenics was coined by Francis Galton back in eighteen eighty three with inquiries into human faculty and its development. Galton took the term as deriving from the Greek eugenes, namely good in stock hereditarily endowed with noble qualities. The original eugenicists were all about population control, and they thought they were doing a good thing. Oh, we're just going to have only the healthiest and the best people. We need to control the undesirables.

This led to some of the most twisted and horrific government government instituted. Mind you, eugenics is not something that people do in their spare time on the weekends. It's governments that do this, governments that seize control and force sterilization, governments by law, including our own folks. But it was for our good, you see, That's what they told us. Going after people who had mental health issues, who were

born with different disabilities or infirmities. In other parts around the world, it was people who are from the wrong group, whatever that may be, from some out group within the society. Yeah, they should be sterilized. Maybe there should be forced abortions too, depends on which country we're talking about. If they really believe, if the left really believes what they are telling us and what they are selling us right now, and that

is that we face an existential crisis. We must turn around the coo to curve or else we're all gonna die. Why would we think that it's too much for them to advocate for population control. Why would we think that it's in any way a surprise that they would want to get rid of the Mexico City policy that says that we can't support used tax para dollars to support abortions. Broad of course they're going to want to get rid of all of that if they really believe what they're saying.

This was lunacy on display last night, and it's something that we all should remember as we think about who we really want in charge in this country. President Trump is not perfect. I've never said he is. You know he's not. And we have to do our part as supporters of the president, those of you who are listening, who are, and I know not all of you are, but a supporter is to guide him toward the best policy decisions possible, to govern as well as he can

while protecting fundamental individual freedoms and constitutional rights. The other side, forget about not being perfect. The other side or a bunch of status petty totalitarians, and there's nothing that they think is outside the bounds of what they're allowed to do, if only they come up with a creative narrative to justify it. You do not want those people in charge. Just look at the history of what happens when they acquire that much power in any country anywhere in the world.

We'll be right back. What you described is the most existential threat to our country's future, and the UN has told us that we have about twelve years to get this right or the consequences could be catastrophic. The most existential threat this country faces, I can tell you know what is an existential threat to this country open borders.

Oh yeah, the dissolution of the polity, the sense that this is no longer a community of citizens and Americans, that this is just a place where anyone can come and go as they please, without any loyalty, without any respect for sovereignty and the rule of law that this entity has. What is americanness if anyone just shows up whenever they want to these whenever they want to That's one.

Another one was the Fiat currency we have, which, as I've told you, and I'm somebody who likes history, all of the Fiat currencies of the past have all gone to zero. You know, we're now at I remember we were not even a twenty trillion dollars in dead and people were very concerned. I remember the Tea Party movement very well. It's when I got into media. And sure enough, now we're at a twenty three heading to twenty four. I think gonna be a thirty before long, folks. That's

this is gonna be a problem. So there are real possible and look, I'm an optimist, and maybe that's probably it's probably not good for radio. I should be here like we're all gonna die and everything is terrible, and oh the commies are gonna like can overthrow the government any day down all that kind of stuff. Some people do that. I don't like to do that. I respect and admire this audience too much to just try to hit hit fear centers in people. Whenever, Oh, look at this,

this is so bad, it's so crazy. The Democratic Party, though, has gone socialist, and that is very concerning. That's real. It is now a socialist party. They won't call themselves that because they understand the connotations and enough people still have some connection to history, some understanding of history that just to openly say that the democratic parties of socialist parties problematic for them. But the mentality that you see of mobilizing us behind this climate change idea, there's a

reason that they use martial rhetoric. There's a reason that this is being set up as the the moral and political equivalent of war, and that is because Democrats, stretching back to clearly Woodrow, Wilson and FDR, think that that's the best way, the best way to be able to control people and get them to do what you want and mobilize the collective. In fact, you could even look back at the French Revolution, that was the idea, the

mobilization of the people, an army of the people. Is this is right at the center of Marxist and socialist rhetoric that the collective needs to act as one in the furtherance of the revolution. In this case, the collective will be acting as one against climate change. But because climate change is all encompassing, it means that the will of the people, as determined by the Green new deegal cadre, whoever that may be in any given time, will decipher for all of us what needs to be done in

every aspect of our lives. Because this is a war. You can't sit out the war on climate change. You see, there's no conscientious objectors. There's no one on the sidelines. You're not allowed to opt out. You're not allowed to choose to not participate. You will be made to. This is why they like it, this is why they use the rhetoric they do, And people like Beto O'Rourke say

things like this. My son, Henry, who's eight years old, when I was talking to him the other night, he asked me, Dad, if you win and you become president, we get to live in El Pasto, right, And I said no, if we win the way this works, we would live in Washington, d C. But he knew because I had told him about the warming that we face, that our community will be uninhabitable, not sustain human life along this current trajectory unless something dramatically and fundamentally changes.

And that's like a form of child abuse to lie to your kid that way. But maybe he's just lying about the kids saying that that's more likely. So what's the most outrageous thing if we're going to talk about the martial rhetoric of libs when it comes to climate change, what is the thing that they could say that there's got to be a party of There's like, they're not really gonna They're not really gonna do that, right, They're

not really gonna make that comparison, are they. They've already said that it's an existential crisis, that it's the biggest threat we face. You will hear people who think of themselves as intelligent and well informed say that it's the biggest national security threat we face. The biggest national security

threat we face is climate change. So in that vein I said before, they like they like the martial rhetoric of you know, this is a fight we all have to be in and we need to mobilize, And what are they going to say it's like, Oh, that's right, they're gonna say, it's like fighting the Nazis in the Second World War. I'm asking Americans to make this our priority.

One of the reasons I love the framing of the Green New Deal is it uses some of the language that we might associate with the way that we met the response of Nazi Germany in World War Two, all of this country coming together with a singular focus of making sure that we overcome what was at that time an existential threat to this country and to our democracy. Mass mobilization, folks. He's even saying that we like to use these words. We like to make it sound like

that's what's going on here, mass mobilization. Interesting, isn't it. Oh he's not that, you might say, Oh, bet Joe, he's a clown. That is not the only one who brought up the World War two fighting analogy last night at this climate change debacle. We have to actually unify the country around this project, and that means bringing people to the table who haven't felt that they've been part of the process. I mean, this is the hardest thing we will have done, certainly in my lifetime as a country.

This is on par with winning World War two perhaps even more challenging than that. Does anybody really think we're going to meet that goal? If between now and twenty fifty we are still at each other's throats, it's not going to happen. We've got to figure out a way to rally, and that means everybody, from cities to farms, to the federal government to the international community. Might be

harder than World War Two. I mean, you do have to SubTime just say, wow, these people really there's a better A Rourke and mayor Pete Mayor Pete's you know, he's a veteran, a Rhodes scholar, And how could someone who is theoretically so well read and are you died Theoretically at least Rhodes scholars are not nearly as impressive as people like to pretend they are. But that's a whole other conversation. How can they say things like this

and expect anyone to take them seriously afterwards? Sixty million people died in World War two. Climate change is what exactly. There's going to be some melting glaciers that will make the sea levels rise, will be okay, it's not even going to happen. The way they say it's going to happen, and who knows, maybe in ten years there'll be some way that we can just clean all the co two out of the atmosphere. They don't know. Father that wouldn't be a good thing because then all the plants would die.

But you know what I'm saying, Maybe there's something that is going to happen then we don't even know about. They don't know. But this is the central fallacy of the central planner. They don't know what they don't know, and they refuse to accept. But there are things that they can't know, and yet they want to take dramatic They want to force us. It's they're not asking. This is why they're using the rhetoric about immobilization and work.

They want to force us to listen to them, to bend the need to do what they tell us to do. It'll make us poorer. And there's no upside here, you know. At least the upside of socializing healthcare is theoretically some people will get healthcare, although eventually it'll just collapse and

then nobody's getting the healthcare they should. But theoretically some people will get healthcare that wouldn't so so it's a bad idea, but there's some offset of good that will come from the bad idea, at least with climate change. This is the worst of ideas in many ways because it's only downside, because the upside that they think exists does not exist. There is nothing about reduction of CO two via government fiad I keep saying, this is already

happening as a natural technological process. We are decarbonizing. It's easy to figure out. It's anyone knows this that spends two seconds thinking about it. But for the government to do this great leap forward into a carbon free future is utterly insane. But they don't. They refuse to accept that they don't know. They don't know what they don't know. And here we are, the central planners telling us how

we should live our lives. And it's not even like there's something that we get from it that would make that would be worth anything. This is utter worthlessness, massive destruction of wealth and freedom and technological advancement and so much that has made human beings healthier and wealthier and

better off. They want to push against all of that, just like you know, mouthis didn't like that people were having so many kids and all of a sudden, these industrialized societies could support much larger populations in cities, and oh, can't have that. Paul Aerlic, you know, oh, we can't have all these people. And he would, by the way, was very down on all the people. Airlick was down on all the people in the Third world, specifically they're

having too many kids. But scientists try to sweep some of that under the rug. Now we'll be right back. Do you ban plastic straws? I think we should. Yes. So would you ban offshore drilling? Yes? We have to take to take combustion engine vehicles off the road as rapidly as we can. Let's talk about off shords drilling for would you ban it? Yes? Would you ban offshore drilling absolutely? Yes. We will transition off of fossil fuels natural gas, coal oil. What about the export of fossil

fuels from the United States? Did you ban that? Absolutely? We must get to that point. There's no question I'm in favor of banning cracking. I'm in favor of a carbon free America. In my administration, we're not going to build any new nuclear power plants. We set out the rules for what kind of plant you know, coal burning plants. No one's gonna build another coal burning We gotta shut the ones down we have. We're gonna end factory farming because that is not only that is a danger to

the environment and to climate change. You know, there will be a transition. There will be a transition, and there will be some pain left. Yeah, but motive, but pain. Have you ever seen all those chickens, one chicken after another, role on top of each other. It's all crowded, you know, the little chickens. They're going cluck cluck, and it's like was taking care of those chickens? They're all in there. Are they getting enough exercise? Has anyone taking them out

for a little walk? Do they have little leashes for the chickens? I don't think so. Bernie raises some very interesting points. I'll tell you this. There was a common theme in this seven hour long climate change lunatic asylum. That's the un ended last night, I should say really last after late afternoon slash into the night, and the theme is they just want to ban things. They want to stop things. They want to tell you what to do, and control is a major component of the leftist mindset.

But banning you can't have this ban this, not allowed to do this. This is where we see there is a real debate, a real argument going on in this country about freedom. This is about personal, individual, corporate, business, commercial freedom. That's what's at stake here. Because if they can get this stuff through, they'll tell you that there's no end to what they think they're allowed to dictate

for you. They want to ban I just can't even think of anything right now, any consumer product they'll be able to put their foot on, put their foot on the pedal and tell you yes or no anytime. Oh and also they find a way to tie climate change into things that just no reasonable person thinks that anything to do with climate change, Okay, this is just nuts.

Betto for example, still I'm at like zero percent in the polls, but like I'm gonna drop another f bomb on TV and then everybody will want to watch me. Beto says, for example, that the not only is climate change causing the refugee crisis, but because we are the prime driver of climate change. This is this logic goes, we are responsible for creating the conditions that forced the refugees to come to this country or go We have

an obligation to take anybody who shows up. We have an obligation to bring them into this country and pay for their stuff. And it doesn't matter what the American people want. We owe it to people and countries that are going through droughts, for example. This is our opportunity. That is the threat that we face, and so we

must be an international leader on these issues. In Brazil, in Guatemala, where we've helped to precipitate a drought that they have never seen before, which has forced families to travel two thousand miles to come to this country seeking asylum and refuge and salvation, only to have their children placed in kids and their parents supported back. We have to understand that we are all connected on this planet. We all have a responsibility, and the United States, especially

the indispensable country, has the opportunity to lead better. Doesn't know anything about history. I really start to think he doesn't know anything about anything. I don't know what this guy's wheelhouse is other than just sanctimonious crap, just saying things that he thinks sound good to people who also don't know anything. The history of humanity is just a series of movements and migrations over time, drought, famine. I mean,

has this guy ever read the Bible? As you read a history book, people move around all the time, often because they're looking for something better, because where they are is having problems. This is not new, folks at all. What is new is this pseudoscience of well, they're moving because it's our fault. By the way, why isn't it Why isn't it China's fault? Why shouldn't China take in all the Guatemalan and Brazilian refugees as he's referencing here,

Why why shouldn't India take them in? Because we're wealthier. They're those countries are belching out all kinds of CO two and and real pollutants by the way, in the air all the time. But you know, there's there's just no shortage of ways that democrats will tie climate change into any issue they want. Here's Joe Biden for example.

Look what happened in darfour? What's darfour all about? Darfour is all about the fact that the sub Saharan doesn't because of the change in climate, no longer had enough areable land. Look what's happened in Indonesia. They're talking about moving their capital because it's going to sink. What happens if you get ten, twelve, thirteen, fifteen, one hundred million

people on the move, that causes wars? And so it's well beyond whether or not it affects me personally, which it does, and it did my family and still does, just like your families. This is personal personally. Every one of you probably have a story that can talk about what's happened to something you care greatly about, whether it's a species or it's your son or daughter coming down with cancer because of it. I'm sorry. So the genocide in darfour and cancer are now tied to climate What

isn't tied to climate change? That's a better question. I think what is not something you can blame you can blame climate change for I'm wondering. I think it's an I think it's a fair and open question. This is just This is lunatic blather. This is Joe Biden. He might as well be walking around and saying the world's

gonna end tomorrow. Look what's happened in the Midwest. We have a number of significant bases that relate to military bases that relate to our national security that in fact we're rendered almost useless, including I can't win the great detail to say it, but my point is it significantly reduced our national security. I'd say, what is he talking about? But I can tell you Joe Biden doesn't know what

he's talking about, so how could we decipher it? You know, there is no Rosetta stone here for for bidenisms, because it's just what the heck is he talking about? You understand that this is what it was was playing to a This is the religion of the left, and this was all meant for the base, and this was all meant for people to reinforce this belief system that people should and if you really believe in climate change catastrophe,

you should be embarrassed. It should be an embarrassing thing for people if you really think the world's going to end in ten years because a bunch of talking heads and pseudoscientists who, if it wasn't for climate change, would have no grant money and nothing to do with themselves. You know, no great scientist is like, hey, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna be one of those guys that's you know, working with the climate change panels

or whatever. No, people that really have scientific skills and are gifted are going to want to try to, you know, do real things like pure cancer, real stuff that helps real people. Speaking of different topics, Look, I mean, you know, LGBT issues are important, and that's a totally totally fine ground for another town hall. I mean, they announced last night at CNN they're going to do an LGBT town hall.

This is the CNN is partnering with the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for our next series of presidential town halls on issues that are important to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. So make sure you tune into that. That's going to be next month. It'll be in Los Angeles. There's real, real issues. Fine, you know that, But I think it's noteworthy. What is what does CNN? What do these networks MSNBC choose to hold these town halls on

what issues get over that threshold? And one issue that has not gotten over that threshold yet. And this came up today because I tweeted this out at some people on the left, why isn't there an opioid town hall? And I would offer to you that the fact that there has been before, or rather the fact that there hasn't been an opioid town hall before the climate change town hall just goes to show you that there are real problems with this fixation on a fake fight. This

takes resources away, this takes attention away. Opioids are killing sixty to seventy thousand Americans a year in this country. It's a public health crisis, yes, but it's also a crisis within our culture. It's a crisis of meaning. It's a there's a lot that goes into it, and people are dying. Our fellow Americans are dying by the thousands, and it's we're just counting the dead in that number. Think of all the families that need support, all the

people who or trying to get treatment. What are ways? What are new ways scientifically, psychologically, emotionally, religiously, what are the ways that we could we could tackle that crisis and really save lines. Libs think that this climate change fantasy, they they do ask them. They think it's more important than the opioid crisis. And that's where I have a problem. That's where things just start to turn into this is

not just nonsense, but it's now immoral. The diversion of time, the diversion of resources away from much more important stuff that really matters. The opioid epidemic in this country is real and we should address that. And the fact that these Democrat primaries spend so little time on that and so much more telling us that they're going to ban straws and tell us that we can't eat hamburgers tells you a lot about the Democratic Party. What saved is not worth it. For the little they saved and what

people were going through, it is not worth it. And price was another lightbulbs, different light bulbs. Now you should think, is this really how big a deal is this? Should we really care all that much about the president of the United States? I mean, why are people all so upset? Well, they're upset about Trump doing absolutely anything. But let's just dig into this light bulb rule for second, because there's a bigger takeaway from these very small things. There you go,

the Department of Energy, this is on the Hill. Hey, I used to work at the Hill. Farm of Energy finalize a controversial rule this week that would erase Obama era efficiency standards for light bulbs. The regulation eliminates efficiency standards for about half the bulbs in the market. It leaves in place rules for standard pear shaped bulbs, while removing such requirements for recess lighting, chandeliers and other shapes

of bulbs. When first proposed, the rule was supported by light bulb manufacturers, but consumer groups estimate continuing to use less efficient bulbs will cost the average household more than one hundred dollars a year and create more pollution as utilities produce more energy that would otherwise not would not be needed, produce energy rather that would otherwise I need. The Energy department flat out got it wrong today. Blah blah.

People are freaking out about this. The rule will increase US electricity use by eighty billion kilowatt hours over the course of a year, roughly the amount of electricity needed to power all the households in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, according to analysis by the Appliance Standards Awareness Project. That's a sexy outfit if I've ever heard one. You want to get invited, Producer Mark, you want to get invited to the Appliance Standards Awareness Project Christmas party. It's wild

sounds like a great time. They give away that. I'm sure they give away a washer dryer to somebody in the raffle. I mean, is that really a bad energy efficient. Bam, you know it. I don't have a washer dryer, do you really? I have a I have a one. I've been told I've got a little closet, and I have very little closet space. But I gotta wash your dryer in my closet. I feel like, you know, I feel like something of a baller, a very clean and downy, fresh baller. I just bring it to the laundry map.

The nice lady does it for me. Well, there you go. So why am I telling you about light bulbs? You might be asking that question. There's a very good reason for it. This is the evidence, or part of a much larger evidentiary finding of all the little things that libs want to dictate in your life. I do think this is very important. There is no area of your life if you adopt the left wing positions of the Democrat primary candidates. There is no area of your life

that is outside their purview. There is no area of your life that they can't insert themselves into. What you eat, what you buy, what you can wear, how you know, how you use your energy, what you do in your own home, what your nothing, Nothing is outside of their of their ability to inflict themselves on you in some way. I mean, nothing of any consequence. So you know, we had this light bulb rule. It's a little bit of

of a who cares situation? And how about this? We need to produce, you know, produce a little more energy. Who cares? This shouldn't be that hard everything that we have seen. Forget about the signs, as I keep saying, it's about the history. Look at what has happened, Look at where we are going. The amount of additional electricity and bandwidth and food and prosperity and all this stuff. You know, all of it that is orders of magnitude, orders of magnitude more then you know what we would

have expected fifty years ago. I mean, I can't imagine imagine sitting down with your for any of you listening, you know, two generations back, so you're great your grandparents, rather and saying, you know, I'm gonna be able to walk around with this little thing that I can hold in my hand, that I can I have access to two billions and billions of websites, data points, social media accounts,

I can talk to anyone anywhere in the world. I can order you know, I could pretty much order a jumbo jet delivered to my home if I got the

cash for it. I mean, you can do all this crazy stuff, all these different apps and connects you and this amazing technological march forward that we've had, and it's it's getting it only has gone in one direction in the post World War two period, you could argue, only in one direction since industrialization in the eighteen fifties or you know, eighteen seventies, really, but in that direction has been more wealth, more prosperity, better stuff, more stuff. And

what do they keep doing? Oh no, we're gonna we're gonna take a chart and we're gonna tell you what it's gonna be like in fifty years. How much energy can be can we produce in fifty years? How much CO two will be there? They have no idea whenever, and this is one of my maxims. Whenever someone tells you they can predict the future, you know they're wrong. They can't. They don't know. If they could predict the future and any of these things, they could all become billionaires.

Because if you can predict the future in fifty years, you should be able to predict the future next year. This is very straightforward, just to apply logic and reason to their arguments. It makes no sense. This light bulb rule is ridiculous. So Trump is rolling it back. Trump is deciding that he's, you know, not gonna go forward with this Obama era regulation was the country and grave jeopardy of electricity overuse or something before Obama stepped in

with us, of course not. But nothing is too small for them, Nothing is outside of their purvy. That's what you have from her. That's why I mean, here, here you go. Here's Mayor Pete. We should start calling him Smarmy Pete because he's just a smarmy fellow talking about how if you eat hamburgers or you eat straws. I mean, this is the Democratic Party as the environmental schoolmarm of the world. If you eat hamburger, eat straws, and and uh snort hamburgers or not, they can't snort the What

do you do with a straw anyway? You suck on them. It's a fair point. But if anyway, if you snort hamburgers and eat straws, let's just stay with that. I kind of like that you are part of the problem, because yes, we can all do away with our plastic straws, and I haven't drank out of a straw for the past six months because I'm so worried about what's happening in the ocean. But people feel helpless when it's something that existential, right, And that's about that. That's one of

the things. I think The downside to us facing just how colossal of a challenge this is is it can feel paralyzing, but we can rise to meet this and be proud of it. That's part of what my climate plan is about. It's not only about all of the things we've got to do technologically and with regulation and so on. It's about summoning the energies of this country

to do something unbelievably hard. If you look at the moments when this country rose to a major challenge, overcoming the Great Depression, winning World War Two, going to the Moon, it required something out of all of us, and I think we could be standing taller. See right now, we're in a mode where we're I think we're thinking about it mostly through the perspective of guilt, you know, from using a straw to eating a burger. Am I part

of the problem in a certain way? Yes? But the most exciting thing is that we can all be part of the solution in a certain way. Yes, that's the real payoff there. I mean, if I'm eating a burger and using a strong I'm part of the problem. Well yeah, you're you're you're part of the problem, all right, But but you can be part of the solution. Oh you mean you mean I can be cleansed of my environmental sins. Pope Pete, you can wave your hand above above me and tell me that it'll all be okay as long

as I do everything that you say. I eat what you tell me to eat. I use a lightbulbs you tell me I can put in my home. I drive the car you tell me is fuel efficient enough, using the fuel that you dictate for me. It's just wild, isn't it. I mean, the stuff that they have convinced

themselves is of I feel badly. I feel badly for all of these libs who get up every day and are so lacking in purpose in their lives that they have to conjure up this this fake battle again, something that will never be overcome and doesn't need to be overcome. It's it's a it's an illusion, and the whole thing is in illusion. I would say they're tilting at windmills, but at least that looks cool. They're not. They're not even uh you know, don Quixote. There's something else here.

They've gone off the deep end little things that they should have no interest or business in. They will tell you yes, oh h Kamala Harris I see her often referred to as Kamala the Cop because she liked to put people away in prison when she was a prosecutor. She had a very rough record for that. She also wants to tell you no more straws to lead and are a big thing right now. Yeah, do you ban

plastic straws? I think we should, yes. I mean, look, I'm gonna be honest, it's really difficult to drink out of a paper straw when you had if you're just like, if you don't bump it down immediately, it starts to bend and and then you know, the little thing catches it and then you know, so we got to kind of perfect that one. A little bit bit. More on innovation, I mean we got we got it. Yeah, innovation is a process, right, you don't just do it. It's not

really funny though, it's annoying. Actually, you know this is yah. You know she's laughing about it, but you know it's not funny. It's an irritation. Libs like to do this stuff. You know, paper straws suck, well, I guess that makes sense. Paper straws are bad quality. They're not good. I've had I had to use them in my favorite little coffee shop in DC. And it's true. You gotta you gotta down that whole moca soy latte right away or else, man, you are out of luck. Nothing is too petty for them,

nothing is too small. And it is because this is part of a narrative not just of being better than the other, but also of creating purpose for people who

lack it. And I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I'm at the pulpit and I'm going to preach about maybe these people need, maybe they need Jesus, maybe they need God of I'm kind, but they need more than their warriors in an imaginary war, which is what they And it's a war by the way that even though the enemy is imaginary, as I've been describing to, the casualties for fighting this war are very real. Bad things happen to people because of stupid decisions with climate change.

People don't just get poor. People are people are sick, people lose their lives because of changes from these policies. And one of the great examples of this is, and I know some of you know what I'm gonna say is DDT. DDT was vilified, vilified by the same nineteen seventies lent environmentalist movement that was all about the population bomb and the Sierra Club and all this stuff. You know how many people have died of malaria directly because

of the unwillingness the bands on DDT. You can't even you can't even out it. Hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, who knows, huge numbers of people dead from a very painful disease that we actually could eradicate or could have much more thoroughly eradicated. But the environmentalists whackos, didn't want to let us do it. Nothing is too small for them to inflict themselves upon nothing. Just remember that. That's one of our biggest takeaways here, your straws, your hamburger, everything.

So you rightly point out about nuclear energy it's not carbon base, but the problem is it's got a lot of risks associated with it, particularly the risks associated with the spent fuel rods that nobody can figure out how we're going to store these things for the next bazillion years. So here's how I see it. In my administration, We're not going to build any nuclear power plants, and we are going to start weaning ourselves off nuclear energy and

replacing it with renewable fuels. Over we're going to get it all done by twenty thirty five, but I hope we're getting it done faster than that. Completely scientifically illiterate Elizabeth Warren taking this position that is a pure environmentalist prejudice here against nuclear power. Nuclear power is the serious answer to the energy needs of the future for this world.

It's just that's just reality. Nuclear power plants should be much more, much further along in their evolution than they are because of people like Elizabeth Warren who are scaremongering over it. But if she's not going to talk about nuclear in the future, then there's just there's no seriousness to getting us off of fossil fuels in the next fifty years. Now, I'm doing the same thing they do right fifty years who knows, Okay, maybe not fifty years,

five to ten years. Yeah, that I can tell you we're nowhere near the level of the efficiency and the ubiquity of renewable energy sources that would be required. And remember they don't understand that these are all moving targets that our energy needs today are going to just get larger.

There's going to be more need for energy, more need for transportation, refrigeration, climate, climate control not changed, like keeping your house hot or cold, building things, mechanization, There's just going to be more you know, AI and all this machine learning stuff that we're going to be hopefully enjoying in the relative in near future. We're going to need more energy, not less. There's no way around that's that's

just the truth. And when you look at our renewable renewables right now, producer markets to do a quick I can't because I'm on are what percentage of the US energy grid is renewable? I think it's somewhere in the five to seven range right now. Five to seven percent. I could be that might just be solar and solar and wind, but I think it's five to seven percent.

It's it's not a lot. And when you start to tally up all the emissions and all the technology and all the all the waste and all the energy that goes into creating those energy sources. And this is why electric cars is a fund. I mean, it's like, okay, now you're driving electric car. That's good. It doesn't you know, doesn't produce the carbon dioxide you know problem in the air fine, which I don't think is much of a

problem that they do. But you still need electricity from something, and you know, the solar panel stuff, and it doesn't work, though it doesn't work as well as people want it to. Is that funny Goldman Sacks elevator account that I told you about yesterday. I had a joke that solar has been the next big thing for the last thirty years.

It's true, solo solar. It's gonna break out at any time. Now. Well, there's a reason it hasn't broken out because there's some problems like nighttime, like getting this getting the energy once you have, once you have generated it through a solar panel, where do you store it, how do you transmit it? And how difficult and energy intensive are those processes? This is these are all things that would have to be

worked out. The market is already handling this. This at its core the whole Green New Deal and the climate change lunacy. It is about control, but it's also about central planning. This is the fundamental fight of our error right now in politics. Is really about those who want to let human beings make their own choices to the greatest degree possible. It doesn't mean you can do everything right. There's oh buck, can you have a nuclear weapon in

your living room? No, just wherever possible. You know, the the greatest amount of individual freedom should be afforded people in this country versus those who really think, and they're called democrats and they really should be called socialists, that every aspect of your life should be planned out for you. You don't get a say they know better than you. The elites have already worked this all out for you. They save you from having to worry your little heads

about these problems. See, but they have a problem too. We are now more aware than ever, because of the technologies that we have, because of the free flow of information, that the elites are not nearly as clever and not nearly as wise as they think they are, and that their desire for increased control is at odds with their record of continuous and often abject failure to centrally plan. Well, I mean just like you know, you can sit here

and think of things, think about like Celindra. Remember that huge solar energy scandal the Obama administration that the mainstream press didn't want to touch. They were taxpayer backed and they were just selling solar panels at a loss. But they figured they didn't enough, they'd make it up on volume. It was crazy. Oh real quick, team producer Mark just told me eleven percent renewable. I said five to seven, a little bit off, but eleven percent in total. We'll

be right back. The NRA has done more to perpetuate and create the sick gun violence epidemic terrorizing our country. They buy off politicians, prevent common sense gun violence legislation, prevent gun violence research. It is time to rid this country of the NRA and call them out for who they really are. They are a domestic terrorist organization. That is a San Francisco Board of Supervisors member named Katherine Stefani who is calling the NRA a domestic terrorist organization.

It is not possible to think of a more baseless, unfair, just crazy. I run out of the words, folks, crazy, insane, lunacy, this is what we are dealing with now with this Democrat Party. They're just they're not all there. It's it's worrisome, it really is. I've become concerned now. I like to, you know, joke around about it sometimes here on the show. But but these people that are the really committed leftist people like this miss Stefani from the San Francisco Board

of Supervisors, what are they capable of? Really? You know, what are they willing to do because they they think they know things that ain't so a domestic terrorist organization based on what NIRA is. He's got millions of Americans remembers. I'm not gonna I never fib My NRA membership has lapsed, lapsed just because um, I've forgot to send in the check. But I have been in the past. I have my card, I've been an NRA member and now I'm now I'm reminding myself and I need to get my membership up

and running again. I've, oh my gosh, next to you, I tell you I got a register to vote or something. What's wrong with you? Buck? But no, I've I've I was an nraber for years and would like to be like to be back in the fold, I just am reminding myself. Now it's I've been very busy with the move. But to call the NRA terrorist organization is to say that the people that are NRA members are supporting a terrorist organization. So therefore, this person in San Francisco, I

remember this was a city council designation or something. They've decided that, you know, the NRAs a domestic terrorist organization. And this means then I suppose they view the National Rifle Association as in some way morally on the same plane as or similar to you know, Hamas or you know al Qaeda, or these organizations that are devoted to killing people. I mean, that's when you're talking about a terrorist organization. Let's be very clear. Terrorist organization is a

group that uses violence to achieve a political goal. That's the most baseline. You can add some nuances to it, and some some greater specificity, but that is the most clear. That is the most clear, or I should say, the most basic and perhaps the most clear definition that we have for it. So in what way, in what way has the NRA ever advocated violence for a political end? Has anyone who supports or or you know, I shouldn't

say supports because those are millions of people. Has any NRA platform or NRA official ever ever advocated for violence? Is it now the same? Are we to conflate the moral stance of you can defend yourself with the immorality of you can harm people or are going out and harming people for no reason? Because if that is the position that leftists are going to take now, we might

as well be explicit about that. We should know that if there's no difference between saying you should be able to defend yourself and oh, someone's going to be a mass shooter, then we're living in a world where there is no there is no morality, there is no down. It's just whatever the left says it is. And I do not accept that that's going to be the future for this country, that they can declare people to be

terrorists on the basis of nothing nothing. I mean the things that are said to my old colleague and friend, Dana Lash that I see because she'll reteet it on Twitter. And you know, I've no her husband, I've spoken to him before about this stuff. I mean the things that are said because of her associations with the n R and there are other people too, but friends of mine who are supportive of the Second Amendment. You will have people without a trace of irony, without any sense of

self awareness. You will have libs say things like you know you support violence against kids, like you know you should go shoot yourself or something. They'll say horrible things. They'll say horrible things to you, violent things, because they oppose violence so much. We have now a we have a different media environment. And I don't mean that just in terms of, you know, the platforms are changing and

the social media giants and all that. It is now possible if you want to be immersing yourself in very powerful political ideologies of different kinds really twenty four to seven, if you want you have an endless stream of this stuff. You can live in this virtual world where you're the good guy and anyone who doesn't agree with you is the bad guy. And if you embrace that because of the feeling of I don't know, COMMI solidarity you have with your fellow leftists, because it's nice to feel like

you're just morally superior to other people. If you really believe in that, and you stop seeing the decency that is so apparent to anybody being honest in the other side, I mean, it's so many of the nicest, best people I know. I mean, let me just let me just say it. Most of the nice and best people that I'm the nicest and best people I know, are gun owners. Most of them. I'm not saying there aren't some wonderful libs out there, but most of the great people I

know are gun owners. So when I hear some wouldn't say, how could you own a gun? It's so immoral only and really implying that only bad people own guns. It's just it's just ignorance that is tearing at the very basic belief that we should always have in this country, in each other's essential goodness. Right Like we're all Americans, We're all we're all on the same team when push

comes to shove. If someone believes that I'm part of a domestic terrorist organization because I support the NRA, and if they think that they have a right to send men with guns to my home to take well, I don't have firearms because I live in New York City. But if I did, and I know I've got to work on that. Actually I'm gonna get and I'll tell you about it on the show. I've been planning to

do this for a little while. I'm going to get a premise permit, I think in New York, and you know that will mean that I will be a lawful gun owner here in the city. And it's going to be a hellish process because I know people who have done it. But I'll tell you about what that's really like. By the way, just a quick news update on the

possible gun law legislation. This from Fox Today. The Department of Justice has sent a package of legislative proposals on gun violence to the White House, a person familiar with the matter told Fox News, as the debate rages over how lawmakers and the president should respond to a recent spate of deadly mass shootings. The White House has had the proposals for two weeks, according to the source, but

has not yet sent anything along to Capitol Hill. It was not immediately clear what proposals are included in the DJ package. President Trump has signaled a willingness to at least consider new measures, while insisting he will also defend

Second Amendment rights. And I think I think that the I mean, the problem, so the universal background checks is what they're really going to go for I don't think they're going to get an assault weapons ban, and I don't think they're gonna get red flag laws either, because of the obvious room for a use by the state, and that should make everybody uncomfortable. And now the state, in a prejudicial or a predue process, I should say

hearing could take away a constitutionally protected right. You know what's next, prior restraint. Oh, you can't publish that until you go before a judge in a month and then you can decide if it can be published. But the universal background checks that, that's what I think they're going to dig in on. And I don't know if this president. Look, let's all understand this President Trump is not a gun guy. He doesn't come from a gun culture. He's not somebody

who is steeped in the Second Amendment. He's you know, I think he believed the right to defend oneself and so he has some cultural affinity for firearms owners and understands that impulse. But you know, I'm I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on this, and we all are. I'm not sure if Trump is really going to hold the line against unnecessary and constitutionally problematic legislation. The left

is really digging in on this. We'll have to see. Yeah, we're compiling the August numbers now, we'll be releasing those early next week. But we're looking at a reduction of over fifty percent from May to today. Continued partnership with Mexico, and the wall is being built. It's going up rapidly. It's I guess most of you have been able to see. We're building very large sections of wall. It's a big factor was we just won the big Supreme Court cases,

you know, and we we're building in different sections. We're building different sections simultaneously, and we think by the end of next year, which will be sometime right after the election actually, but we think we're going to have close to five hundred miles of wall, which will be complete. As I've been saying, a big promise for the President the United States to keep, and you know, you had strong jobs numbers the last month. Everything is is very

much on track. And as the President continues with his the winds that he's racking up here, as he continues to deliver on promises for the American people, you're you're gonna see even more shrill and angry stuff from the Libs. I'm I'm overwhelmed right now by the amount of crazy that we have been subjected to with this climate change debate. And there's going to be more. MSNBC's doing a two day town halls, as we've been talking about. But I do think that we are going to see a whole

new level, and I worry. I worry what it will really do to the country because there's no there are no lessons learned for the left about all the crazy that has happened thus far. There are no lessons learned that really indicate in any way they think that it's time to scale things down a little bit, to sort of scale things back. They think that the way that they should actually try to stop Trump is to be

even more maniacal. And I you know, usually the progression here, and this is just a little bit of of of a preview of I think what we're going to see. Usually the progression is that they have this far left wing primary, or at least people go to the left during the Democrat primary, and then they try to tack back to the center, and they try to go back to the center because they want to get voters from Ohio, and and from Florida and etc. Etc. They they're looking

to to do what is necessary to win. And so that's when you get the Democrats that that are more reasonable in their positions. You know, this is where that's where the Biden effect is supposed to come in handy. Well, it's tried and true, been around a long time. This guy's not going to upend the world and it'll all be okay. Meanwhile, they've been telling you what they really think, what they really believe is the stuff that's in the primary.

This is what we've learned with the Democratic Party. You know, if they could get their way with all of these things, they would do it. I do think it's a little bit terrifying when you go to that next level of okay, assuming that they could get away with these things, assuming that they could do these things, would they would they actually go forward with a green new deal at all? And I believe the answers. Yes. There was a time with the Democratic Party used to talk a very big game.

Some of them would they'd flirt a little bit with open borders, and then they would say, oh no, no, no, we need border security. You're right, we can have a welfare state and open borders. You know, they would do these things. But now what we see he's a Democratic party that has taken position that it will be impossible to move away from come the general election. It's just it's not realistic to believe that they're going to pretend that this whole insanity of the Green New Deal happened.

And that also means that some of the things that Trump is doing well, they're going to have to find a way to oppose. And the only way so, you know, the wall obviously that they're completely against. Even though and this is what maybe maybe think of this today. You know, even though the wall was initially Trump was the crazy one. Trump was the one that had this idea that you know,

no normal, sane person could ever think. It turns out that the more time you spend with the professionals of border patrol, with the people that work in border security, the more clear it is that walls do work, have worked, and would continue to work if there was an expansion on them. All of that is true, and yet none of that will factor into the way Democrats talk about

the wall next year. It's going to be as though none of the things that have happened in the last three years in terms of the debate and where the country is and what we've learned in this process has happened. They're just going to go back to the same false points about how walls don't work and how you know, Trump puts kids in cages and he's horrible, and they're not going to be able to pull the moderation game.

And I think that that's going to have really interesting implications for the general election, because then the only way, if they can't become moderate, the only way that they can defeat Trump really is a base turnout model that is going to be getting even more left wing crazies and you know, getting enthusiasm up to even greater levels.

I don't know if that will work. It depends on the state we're talking about, but it's just we're dealing with a radical Democratic party that cannot deradicalize in term in time for the next election, and things like the wall and other other things that the President is going to be pushing over the next year. They will act like this is some catastrophe, some calamity, even though as we know, the President was right all along, has been right all along about the wall, he's been right. This

debate has been had in public. We know that walls work, We know that it helps border security. Border patrol across the board will tell you that in sectors where they've had wall it has been incredibly useful. And we're just gonna they're gonna pretend that nothing, none of this ever happened. They're also, i think, although I'm not quite sure how they're going to play this one yet, I think you'll see the left return to some of the Russia collusion stuff,

even though the Muller probe didn't find it. In you know, we had this whole summer. We went through this cycle of will there won't they? On on impeachment, will there won't they? And this was just Democrats playing a political game, trying to figure out whether or not it would be, you know, possible for them, whether or not it would be realistic for them to impeach the president and have that be a political win for them. Right, they had

to assess that that's all it was. They pretend to be all about principle, but as soon as the principle gets in the way of their relentless lust for power, that all of a sudden, the principle doesn't really matter. So you'll you'll see some of these themes returning. You'll see this coming back time and again over the next really the next now thirteen months, and so we will have to see, we'll have to see what is going

on there. So we have my friend Sean Parnell who'll be joining us here in studio in just a moment. Sean is the Swan is a great dude. He's got a new book out. We're gonna have a very a very relaxed conversation here just about a whole bunch of things, and I think you're gonna want to hear that. So stick around team everybody. I have a special treat for you today. Everyone in Team buckets very excited, especially all the Team Buck ladies. We have Sean Parnell here in

the flesh, author of All Out War. Sean Parnell also wrote Man of War. His books are fantastic. He's a great Guy's a former Army ranger, best selling author, Patriot Man about time, mister Parnell, Good to have you here, sir. This is exciting anytime I get to be in studio with the great Buck Sexton in the Freedom Hut is in honor and a privilege. Yeah, man, absolutely, So why don't we start if we can, just to tell us a little bit about this book, and then we're just

going to talk about some other random things. We're gonna keep you here for a while. Well, so you know, this book starts six months after Man of War and Eric Steele is wounded pretty seriously in the first book, and he is he's got to recertify to get back on active status. He reas certifies and the first thing he does is to go have dinner with his mom and all hell breaks loose. He's attacked at his home. Assailants destroy his house, burn his house down, critically wound

his mother, and knock Steel unconscious. And Eric Steel wakes up thinking to himself, why was I attacked? What did they want? What was their target? Why was my mom implicated the attack? He goes off the rails and he goes out for revenge, and as he's hunting these assailants down, he realizes that he's been drawn into a much larger conspiracy with global potential, global implications to where there are targets on the back of some of the leaders of

the greatest Western powers. Very cool, man, let's just get into some of the nuts and bolts of this for a second. How long did it take you to write this? I'm curious. So the first book a long time, So Outlow Batune came out, which is my first book, in two thou and twelve, but it took six years from two thousand and twelve to when Man of War is published to get that story right. I was lucky enough to have an editor sort of take me under his wing,

and David hiphil At William Morrow. He just said, hey, if you want to write, write fiction, I'll be there for you to help teach, coach and mentor you. And so so I've read every word of Outlaw Patune. Yeah, and because I even tell you like I love Doc Pentoy, I'm like, I know the characters. Yeah, you're dude, you're a great You're a huge supporter of that. All true. But the transition from writing your story essentially to writing fiction obviously informed by your experience in the military, how

did that go. It's it's like learning to ride a bicycle without a seat while it's on fire. It's monumentally difficult. And so the story of Man of War that's on the shelves right now is like the fourth iteration of it. I mean I had to start over from scratch four times to rewrite the intro just to get just to get the tone right, the economy of words right, the plotting, the pacing, the character development right. There's so much that goes into telling a good fiction story that just takes

a heck of a lot of practices. Do you get a little nervous about the possibility that you'll make some minor error, yea, when it comes to a caliber or some gear or something like that, because you know, some folks might think, oh, well, you'll get the benefit of the doubt from the milk community if you no, expectations are high for you, like if you if you if you write clip when you mean magazine in this book,

you're done. No, it's so well. Or or if you have if you have Eric Steele changed out the magazine when he's carrying a revolver, you lose your entire military hot You wouldn't do that well. Sometimes sometimes you just make mistakes. You're in the writing process, you're tired, you've been up all night, and you accident. You know, sometimes you just get these phrases in your mind where you know, Steel flicks the safety off or he changes the magazine.

So it's just those phrases to sometimes come out. So that's where good proofreading comes in. But yes, if you make one mistake like that in this genre of books, you will lose your entire military audience. And one fell swoop, that's that's for sure. Do you get people that write in with cool ideas to you? Now you're you're an established author out he comes in here, it's got an entourage, like seven people. It's radio, so I can lie about this.

He's got seven people in here, the bodyguard with the sunglasses, the whole thing. But you know, you know, on my own bodyguard, you're going, you're going the full mc hammer. You have a revenue of like fifteen people you know following you. I wish that were so yeah, me too. Well that's I'm hanging out until that happens. But then I'm gonna be one of them. Actually I wish this buck he used to do radio. Now he's part of

the Parnell entourage. Hey listen, when I'm a Hannity level baller where I have my own helicopter in private, and you're going to actually run the free world, because that's pretty hard. That dude rolls around like he's Tony Stark, you know, and hey, that's that's the goal right there for us. When that day comes, you will be a

part of my entourage. I appreciate that. But hopefully hopefully you reach that level before me, and then I get to be a part of your I could do strategic communications, or I could be like Turtle from Entourage, where I just you know, just get drunk and or do Johnny Drama's job and make eggs. I'm actually very good at making eggs, but so so I'm intrigued by that. But do people ever give you ideas what I would the

real question? I was going to ask that someone ever write in and say, you know, it would be really cool if drawing upon obviously you have a big military on their experience, if Eric Steele like work this in or like I got this crazy story from my platoon, you know? Does that stuff ever? No? I haven't. I haven't had that yet. But what I will say, what I have been getting a lot of with this second book, especially,

people have been binge reading this book. It's only been out for three days and people are already writing to me asking, you know, a major subplot of this book is what happens with Steele's father. Steele grows up without a dad. His dad disappears when Steele's nine years old. Steele believes young Eric Steele believes his dad just left him and his mom defend for themselves. But that's not the case. You learn that's not the case in this book.

So that subplot about what happens to Eric's father becomes a major, a major plot element in this book and especially in Steel three, which is what I'm working on now. So I guess why I say all this to say, it is surreal to me that I have fans of this series that are writing me, what's happening with Steele's dad? What are you gonna do with Steal's dad? You should have them, you know, swing in and save the day

on a repelling seat and save steels a lot. I mean, I get a lot of ideas like that off of already existing subplots that I've created. But man, I'm telling you, I never thought that this. I mean, like being a writer and coming up with my own stories in subplots and drama and suspense and intrigue. It was never in the cards for me, man, Like, it was not part of my life's plan. So you know, as an aficionado of books, fiction books, I love fiction books, and I

love television and I love movies. Who do you think? I mean? People always ask me for book rex on this show, and I keep promising that I'm just gonna put my entire kindle library out publicly. And it's not that I don't want to do it. I just get lazy and I had like sit there and count it all off. You should totally have a book sex and books book club. I well, obviously Sean Parnell all out war would be a topic, I hope. So that's amazing. I love it. But for you, you know, people ask

me how'd you learn? How'd you learn radio? And with all due respect to the other great hosts, I mean I learned for Rush right, if you're asking me who taught me how to do radio? Or who did I try to learn and pattern myself after? For you a fiction writing are there one or two maybe maybe even three if you want to be diplomatic who you read and you're like this change, this changed the game for me, or this is how I wanted to be like this one day in terms of money, fluency, and skill. This

is a great question. And so I started reading Lee Child in the mid nineties and I just was captivated by his stories and some of the stories that Jack Reacher would get himself into. Like the idea that Lee Child's stories are essentially Westerns, modern day Westerns, where Jack Reacher walks into a town, faces an unanswered question. Answers said, unanswered question gets the girl and walks out of town onto the next adventure. I just loved that format and plot.

But I have to say the moment where I decided to like sort of dedicate myself to writing fiction, which has always been a lifelong dream of mine, was on Combat Outpost Marga in Afghanistan. My unit built the very first combat outpost and as we were building that, it was finishing up a book called Lions of Lucerne by Brad Thor and I read that in Switzerland, right, is this, yeah, like this was early on? Yeah, I've never I've actually never I like Brad. I know Brad a little bit.

I've never read any of his books. That's not a knock on Brad. I just don't read a lot of fiction, right, but I know the Lucerner. That's the Swiss Guards, right, yes, well, I mean the Lions of Hope Swiss Guards. Well, the Lions of Lucerne is a monument in Switzerland or something. It's like in Switzerland, and it's just this cool little monument statue of lions. And that's that was early on in brad Thor's career when a lot of his books were heavily based on the geographic setting of where Scott

Harvath would operate. But I'm telling you, man, I read that book, I put it down and I said to myself, how never forget this? Like, Okay, you know I've been here in this country for over a year. We just got extended. We're gonna be here for another four months or until mission complete. Right at that point, I was like, I'm not making it out of here alive. But if I do, I I'm going to live a life worthy

of the sacrifice of my men around me. Writing fiction was something that I always wanted to do, and I'm gonna every day that I wake up and I draw breath, I'm gonna work hard to earn it every single day. And so I just put my nose to the Grindston. When I got back, I mean, I mean initially, you know, I got back from the war in Afghanistan. Eighty five percent of my platoon were wounded, some wounded twice, some three times. I came back and most Americans had no

idea that a war was even going on. So my first foray into writing was just attempting to capture and preserve the legacy of my troops, to make sure that it could be passed down from generation to generation. And so that was out law patuone, right, And so that book came out, was a New York Times bestseller in its first week, and I think since it's been out, it's been on the Times best seller list for thirty week. Don't get a big habit. It's one of the best

military memoirs I've read. But don't don't get all and you know we're still just friends, all right. I'm not a fan, but man, Buck, it is one of the best military Thank you, I really and I've read a lot of them for whatever that's worthy. Man, you're a voracious nonfiction reader for sure, So like that means a lot coming from you, really it does. But you know, nobody was more surprised about the reception that that book received than me. I mean, I was blown away by it.

But because of that book's success, I think it gave me a platform to really shoot for the stars and write fiction. And you know, and the Outlaw Patune had been out for a week and my editor was like, hey, look, I know because I've got a great relationship with him. He's like, look, I know you want to write fiction. You've been wanting to do it your whole life. I think that you could do it, and I'm willing to help you get there if you're willing to do the work.

And so I said, okay. Six years later, Man of War was published, and All Out War a year later. So now I'm on a rhythm where I've got to churn out one of these books a here. So All Out Work came out a week ago, and I'm in the weeds trying to publish this book the right way and make sure it's launched properly. But I'm twenty five thousand words into Steal three now, so it's sort of a NonStop grind. Sean Parnell, everybody, the book is All Out War, it is out right now. He's a new

York Times best selling author from Outlaw Platoon. This book is also a best seller, All Out War. We're gonna come back and talk to Sean about who's gonna play him in the movie. He doesn't know that yet, but that's what we're gonna talk about. We'll be right back, all are we here in studio in the Freedom Hut, NYC? With my friend Sean Parnell, best selling author. His latest

is All Out War? What's the best? Let me start with this, actually, what's the best war movie or TV show you've seen in the last two years, two or three years? Let's say anything? Anything good? I feel like they'll make I feel like there hasn't been anything in a little while. There's certainly nothing on the scale of

like saving Private Ryan Blackhawk Down. I actually think Master and Commander is one of the true military masterpieces of cinema of all time, which is not as popular movies some of those other movies, but it's incredible for what it is. What do you think? Okay, so I would say Jack Ryan is by far the coolest spot. I'm sorry. The preppie analyst who lived in Georgetown rose Crew in college as a swoop has a hair did you see it thin just the of course I saw you didn't

like it? It was my life story? Oh well, well, of course, I mean the CIA analysts right exactly. That guy's a little he's a little too handsome, though he's a little too hand he's Jack's awesome six pack, and you know, all right, all right, I'll get to the

gym more settled down. But I thought that as in terms of a story and a show, that was one of the most brilliant plots and fast moving, most technical, technically accurate in terms of combat shows I've seen in a long time on Amazon, And I just saw the preview for the next season of Jack, Ryan and Man. It looks great. Focuses on socialist country of Venezuela and the Russians offending US, uh, giving arms to Venezuelans, and

creating armed insurrections in Central America. It looks hot. Man, all right, good now, because you're the author of all our wars, you've obviously had to do a lot other than actual war fighting yourself. Uh, study a lot from the genre, seeing a lot. I mean, you and I grew up watching action actually started that. You and I grew up watching action movies we did for you? What is the action not war movie? And you're the greatest action movie of all time? Is what the greatest action

movie of all time? Movie? Okay, so you are really really putting me on the spot. Um, but I gotta give me an answer. You'll probably laugh at this. I'm I will give you an answer, but I'm afraid to give it to you, because I don't want you to make fun of me when I give it to you. But so I will say one, I think one, giving one or the other, you can give me top two if you are okay. Okay, So just Classic Predator. I

just think that it's one of my answers. So obviously it's just amazing, right, it's such a great movie with a simple plot. I love I just love that movie, everything about that movie. But I also love the movie True Lies. Wow, I think it's so everybody. He's throwing out a sleeper off listen, listen Tom Arnold today is just he's clinically insane. He's insane, Like I don't agree

with him together because he'll out he totally will. But he was so hysterical and true Lies he was he will he's he to me, he made that movie and his his career, his his dynamic with Arnold Schwarzenegger in that movie as his handler. And as you know, Arnold was a singleton operator. He was a clandestine operator and Tom Arnold was his handler. Hysterical, but the plot was awesome. They wove Jamie Lee Curtis into the story in a

really creative and fun way. So it was I think it was the perfect mix of like levity fun but serious, like serious action thriller stuff. So so we obviously agree on Predator, which makes me very happy because that movie is is absurd but amazing, right, Like, like the plot is, it's like sci fi, but in the jungles there's kind of logan contra thing going on there. But like all

of a sudden, there's this weird monster. You know, the original monster that the suit was too big and it was gonna look much more animated, much more like almost like the Terminator. It was much more metallic, but the suit was too big and heavy in the jungle, so then they had to switch to that like you know, lizard looking get up. They had to change. I've watched the backstory of the well, it's it's on YouTube, that's

on YouTube you can watch. And those guys, by the way, Jesse Ventura, forget what he's done since then, But like Jesse Mature at the time, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, you just had specimens together there. I mean, guys who were at the peak of their physical prowess in a way that you know, you just don't have that in any other movie. Really. Yeah, when Arnold Schwartzenegger and Carl Weathers meet and they slap arms and see, ia got you

pushing too many bets. Favorite line in the movie, you just see these big hulking biceps right there on the screen. That is a at that right there. That was my child. But it's Americana, right, they'll tell you my two brothers. So we all we can quote any any line from that movie and immediately jump into the scene, like start playing the different characters. Because we've seen it so many times. We owned it on VHS. I think we made the

tape explode, we watched it so many times. But uh, for me, the Matrix, by the way, oh my god, the Matrix part one, I pretend that the second one didn't really happen. In the third one definitely, So I'm gonna I'm gonna go I love that movie. I just I guess I didn't really consider as an action film. It certainly is. I sort of these legendary films like The Matrix. I feel like transcend genre. So I love The Matrix. I think that it is just an amazing iconic story. And I'm gonna go out on a limb

and say, I actually love Matrix Reloaded. I don't like Matrix Revolutions. I don't. I'm not a fan of the third one. I don't like how they concluded it. But I love the second one. Those two twins with like the those guys that are like all white headed toe whatever that's car chase scene ever that it is the most amazing car chase scene of all time. But so this was all just a big It's all just a big pre animal to find me. Who's going to play

Eric Steele? Well, so I'm sorry, because it actually might happen. We don't have to talk about that right now. Yeah, mine, would you want to play Eric Steele? Well, I mean I wrote Eric Steele's personality to have a very star

Lord esque quality. So, like Chris Pratt and Guardians of the Galax scene where where he faces very serious situations, almost impossible situations, but he never really loses his sense of humor, at least in these early books when he's not as jaded as he will be in book three. He goes through some serious stuff in book one and even worse in book two. Um, so book three he's

going to be a little bit more jaded. But I thought Chris Pratt would be great unfortunate, Um, I don't think that's gonna happen, but I would love to see like a Ryan Reynolds character as Eric Steele. It'd be great, or somebody even lesser known that just like has the work ethic and believes in the story. I mean, who's gonna play the sarcastic but very wise ci analyst who's making his coffee and uh, basically a buck Sexton is

my first choice. That's gonna say. He's gonna be like watching back from headquarters like, yep, looks like we just lost another one today. Sorry, well, I've got this. I've got this character in book three. His name is Ralphie, and Ralphie I told you listen to me. His name is Ralphie. I don't think I don't think of you as Ralphie. His name in the story is Ralphie. But you said you said you wanted a little intelligence whacker,

like the guy in the computers. That's the guy, all right, the guy and you heard it here first on the Buck Sexton Show. Ralphie modeled after you. Fantastic Sean Parnew Everybody, All Out War is the book. You should go pick it up now because his books are great. We're gonna come back and just chat with Sean about some things going on in the world, and then we're gonna let him go on his way to do some other There

are fun media things here in NYC. We will continue in just a moment, all right, to h round things out here in the freedom that we've got our friend Sean Parnell, who's joined us. We've been talking about his book All at War, which you should all check out. But who who was the first I know I was gonna talk to you about like current events. We would do that on the show every day. Maybe I'll get to that a second. We talk about something gun stuff

that's going on right now. The first author that you read forget about any specific genreor anything else that made you like books. J R. R. Tolkien. First book I ever read was a Hobbit, and I could call I read it, and I read it and well, my dad read it to me in first grade, you know. Um, I read it myself for the first time in third grade, and then every year I read the entire trilogy like four or five times in a row as I just was upset. Do you think of the adaptation that that

Peter Jackson did. I mean, it is a that was a monumental challenge to do, but I think he did okay. It's pretty good. Yeah, I thought he did okay. And Lord of the Rings. I'm not as fan. I'm not as big a fan of The Hobbit, you know. I think that that movie. That movie was a disaster. They

really just like went on and on and on. It did not yea, and it didn't really And they made up large swaths of the movie, which again I understand why sometimes they have to do that for just dramatic license, but there's no need to do it in a story like The Hobbit, where you have smog and the Battle of five Dragons and you've got battles with trolls and all this other fun stuff. In that book felt like there was a lot of fire, there was a lot of filler. But I think Peter Jackson did an admirable

job on Lord of the Rings. Yeah, for me, it will be I've talked about this before on radio, but it's it's really a tie between Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton. I was like in the third fourth grade and I started picking up some of their some of their Creton was a freaking genius. He was a genius. His the

premise of all of his books. I love so Michael Crechton is a case study of why it's important for young authors to start out with a premise, and so Jurassic Park, for example, Michael Crichton's premise and how he came up with that. It's like, Okay, what would it be like if we put human beings in a cage with dinosaurs and made them fight to the death. That

was the simple premise that became Jurassic Park. He is the expert at coming up with really interesting premises like that, and you know, I have not been able to do it yet, but I love I love his premises of all of his stories. He's an absolute genius in everything that he does. Well. If you see West World amusement park. Science goes awry. There's a theme there right west Well, he wrote When People Forget That was a Michael Crichton, yep,

Michael Crichton project. He wrote that before he wrote Jurassic Park. So genius. Westworld is like Jurassic Park is West World with dinosaurs, which pretty much anytime you're doing in the entertainment business and you can add dinosaurs in seamlessly totally good to go, You're good to go. I know, I totally agree. Michael Crichton was a genius, and especially you know so much of writing and creativity is collaborative. He he, He never ceased to amaze me with the creative team.

He was able to just imagine Missus Doubtfire with velociraptors, you know, running around and the old woman body feeling in the bodysuit raps. You'd watch basically the Shark Nato formula. But we would we would do it better if we worked on these things together. Um, real question for you think anything's gonna change with guns in this country? Do I think it no better or not? I mean, you know what really upsets me is this is whole Beto O'Rourke and oh, the government's gonna buy we'll buy it

back yours. How can you buy back something that you never owned in the first place, And what sort of mental leaps of logic do you like? The real perverse logic of that mentality is is the idea that the Second Amendment was written to protect liberty from tyranny, and a gun buy back is precisely the kind of government

overreachs the Second Amendment was written to protect. And so I sure sect better or not, I I will retain my right to I was gonna ask me, you know, if if your state, let's say, banned assault, right, come

and take your your your your molan lay on. Yeah, Look, Megan McCain is absolutely right when she asserted on the view that there would be lence if government officials came to my if they came to my door and tried to take my stuff, like I would say that not only we have a duty and obligation to rise up against that government, that sort of government treachery and tyranny. And that was why the Second Amendment was written. That

was precisely why it was written. And you know, if you think that the idea of owning The people that go out there and say, well, you should not be able to own an a R fifteen and these high capacity of magazines, Well, let me tell you this. You might find yourself in a situation where you might need one, Like just recently. What if you live in a city where the Portland mayor throws up his hand and says, oh, you know, police stand on the sidelines and let Antifa

run all over your city and throw firebombs everywhere. You might need to protect your family with thirty rounds if you have fifty thugs surrounding your house. Look at what happened to Tucker Carlson. He wasn't even there, His wife and his small children were there when left this thugs came to his house and banged on his door. I want her to have the ability to own an AR fifteen with a thirty capacity thirty round magazine if she

chooses to do so. Yeah, I mean a snubnos revolver looks cool in old cop movies, but that's really not That's not what you want to go out and defend your own with it. And if you if you ban AAR fifteens, you you take away It is a it's the most widely owned and most versatile rifle in American history. It's a quintessentially American I dive to several of them. Yeah, and so it's a quintessentially American innovation. And it's very

easy for women to use and operate. And so why would we want to hurt a woman's ability to protect herself by taking away a rifle by the way, in the mid nineties, that had no discernible impact on crime when it was banned in the mid nineties. I mean, it was banned in the mid nineties, had no effect on crime. So why do we continue to ram this political nonsense down our throats in the wake of horrible

tragedies like this? It makes me sick to my stomach that God, people like Beto O'Rourke aren't up in arms about that. I mean, you never hear these guys say, you know what, after this mass shooting, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm going to create a task force and I'm gonna go after illegal guns in Chicago. Why why I reject the notion that somehow society is guilty just because some thug, murderous, cowardly thug commits a crime. Why take my rifle as a law abiding citizen just

because a criminal commits a crime. What do you say when they when they pull out the weapons of warline, I'm always amazed when they Occasionally they'll they'll have I think, uh, well what may or pete He'll use that he was, Oh, you know, I served. I've seen I've seen uh Rob Rob o'deill from Fox point out that you know, there's like and I can see if you're if you're not from within the community, you're never allowed to speak about this.

But there there are people that are kicking indoors, and there are people that are in the rear with the gear. I was in the far rear with the cappuccino machines. But like you know, I think that people get a little bit loose with the truth about who these are the weapons, like harried and no, it's not the weapon you care, So why are you It's not it's a sent I don't care if you served. If you're gonna lie about something, that's this is what. This is what

the left does. They twist language to make it almost impossible for you to understand what position they're coming from. I mean, the whole like again, perfect example is the government buy back You know, how can you buy back something that you never own or the weapons of war? You know, I've done some deep dive into the Australian buyback program. That's always the model that though, that's what

they always throw in your face. Let's talk about so so the fun fact about that is that the number of guns in private hands in Australia is higher now than it was before the buybacks. You have even more guns in more people's hands. And guess what's happened with violence for the last fifteen skyrocketed? No down, wait, oh more people, no more guns, that's all right? No right, I was thinking no, no, no no, I was thinking about like the I was thinking crime skyrocketed because nobody owned guns.

I know, I completely jumped over your point. Every more guns in more hands and there's less. I misunderstood your point. Yes, an armed society is a polite society. And I would go one step further to say an armed and trained society. I just had I said a piece come out in American Consequences, right that that argues great magazine that everybody should subscribe to the way it's free. It is that he cannot rely on the NRA and Republican politicians to

protect our Second Amendment rights. The best way to protect Second Amendment rights is being a good ambassador for the Second Amendment. Learning how to use your weapon and handle it safely, and not only that, reach out to people that have never fired a rifle before, take them to the range and teach them how to operate efficiently that weapon system. There's never a worse time in this country

than after a mass shooting. They're tragic in every way, but those mass shootings are exacerbated only by people's ignorance on Twitter when they start talking about banning things that they don't know anything about. The vast majority of people that are calling for gun bands think a clip in

a magazine are the same thing. Well, they think that you're running around with a chainsaw bayonet, Nefkin, That's exactly which when you wanted to scare, when you wanted to scare the Taliban Gears of War video games, you rev up that chainsaw bayonet and they're like, oh no, there man, it's so true. And so all the people that are

calling for gun bands are also synonymous. Are also the people that don't know anything about firearms, and it drives me in saying and they always say that doesn't really matter. Your stupidity is not a reason to take my freedom away, my hard fought for freedom people bled for and fought for. This freedom is preserved and enshrined in the Constitution, passed down to us, not by man, not by government, but by our God. So you're not coming and taking my stuff.

Mulan Labba cham Parnell style, everybody, the book is all out war. You should pick it up now. Champarnell buddy, author, American Patriot Army Ranger. Thanks for coming to hang out in the freedom up. Man. We always enjoy you. Gotta come here more, I know, I love. We'll do the Parnell Hour anytime you're in town. We'll just we'll just do a whole hour of NonStop Parnell. So there we go, man, anything I would love this. Thank you for having me, and you always are so gracious to me and give

me so much time. Buck, So thank you, and thank you to your listeners who are who are just so dedicated and wonderful. All right, in best of luck with a book team. We'll be back with some close out roll call in just a second the show. Keeping it real, it's time for Roll Call. Sean Parnell, he's one of the obviously, he's a friend of mine, so I think very highly of him. He's one of the nicest, nicest guys you'll come across in the media business. And I'm

glad that his books are doing so well. They are, They're doing very well, and people really really dig them. And I think I might have to read his fiction because I've already read his nonfiction. It was excellent. Well, let's get two because we don't have a long time for Roll Call today. Some of you, by the way, we are and producer Mark can confirm this. We are trying to get a new email address set up so

people can email about the show. Right, this is going to happen, right Mark, Yes, it is being worked on as we speak. There we go, There we go. That's what I'm talking about. Boom, all right, Susie and Andy. Right, thanks to drop of the podcast. Sooner I work until seven pm Eastern and we'll finally be able to enjoy my shift. Well, there you go, my friend. Yep, the

podcast it's gonna start going early. I even have a day for you as of September twenty third podcast is going to be up every day by three eastern Bam. That's right, that's right, Producer Mark, get excited. Maybe earlier if I'm good at my job. Maybe a little earlier, if Producer Mark doesn't have to, you know, take a cigarette break. You don't smoke, do you? I don't know. No, I don't want to kill myself. Wow. Look at you smokers across the country here flicking their cigarettes at producer Mark.

From Afar Ryan Rights. You talked about the rotten Tomatoes ratings of Sticks and Stones versus the ratings of viewers. Rotten Tomatoes ratings come mostly from critics writing for lefty papers and magazines. I find their ratings are often in conflict with the ratings of viewers, and this, to me shows the disconnect between the woke media and normal citizen. Very rarely will a movie or show get good Tomato ratings unless there's a left wing agenda, if it's a drab,

artsy and super boring. In fact, I find the ratings useful. I can generally determine if it's going to be a good show by the low ratings you think critics would rate on a consensus mindset, but it seems most critics want to virtue signal and appear to be intellectually superior to the general viewer. Yeah, no, I agree. I think a lot of a lot of people who are in the ratings business are now. I mean, you get the

woke left wing crowd, there's no question about that. You have people who are overwhelmingly going to be you know, democrats left and now they also I think there's a little bit of fear involved too. I think there's a little bit of you know, if you say a movie is good and it's among your peers considered not woke or social justice problematic or anything else, you know, then I think you might suffer. People are worried about suffering consequences.

You know that you won't be considered part of the of the in crowd anymore. So yeah, no, I agreed. You. I mean a lot of very good movies. I'm pretty sure that three hundred, for example, had like terrible, terrible critics ratings and was just a you know, three hundred was amazing. It's an amazing movie. I mean, you know, it's not like high cinema anything, but it's so entertaining

it's so fun. And there you go. Benjamin Writ's book, you mentioned you might be visiting Nashville in the near future. When might that be? My wife and I would love to meet you since we live nearby Shields High. Um, well, ben I'm gonna be at politic Con, which is a big political event for pundits pretty much in Nashville. So yeah, that's what I think. Uh, there you go. You can you can show up at I think politicons open to

the public because they want viewers. I'm pretty sure. Then you just buy a ticket, so I'll be a Politicon. There you go. That's the next time I will be in Nashville. Jeremy, I'm gonna stop doing that, sorry, Jeremy. On the Dicks Sporting Goods and Walmart gun sales, Dick decided to make a public announcement supporting gun bands and refused to sell certain guns in February twenty eighteen. Their stock just had a major drop in the past two years,

from sixty dollars to twenty five dollars a share. When they made the announcement, they were at thirty four dollars. Since then, they've been between thirty four to thirty six, with a peak for a week around forty. Nike took a hit for a couple months, but is back to where they were when they signed Kaepernick, although I still buy all their brands. Walmart, on the other hand, has been phasing firearms out of their stores for a while.

They decided to quietly stop selling certain ammunition after the El Paso shooting, but the media found out and made a big deal about it. Firearms is not their major selling points, so I don't see them taking a hit over this. I'm just gonna have to believe your numbers, Jeremy, because I don't. I don't know. I'll top my head. I'm not an investor in Walmart or in Dick's Sporting Goods. So yeah, let's see we have Sandy. I just wrote an email to Walmart that I will no longer shop there.

I let them know my gun harms. No one bad people do well. Sandy. You're allowed to voice your opinion in this way, and there you have it. I got a little testy today on Twitter with Verizon FiOS because they made me wait for three hours for somebody who had turned out was never going to show up in the first place. The mistake was on their end. You know, that's three hours of my life sitting around, you know,

gotta have the phone there. Yeah, I was able to read and prep for the show, but you know, I wasn't planning on being home for three hours and not able to leave my apartment. So I don't like that. So I let them know, and then I love the DMU if if you tweet at them, the dmure like, how can we help you? I'm like, can you give me three hours of my life back? No? Okay, how about how how about just waive my cable fee which is outrageously high for one month or even one week?

Oh no, we can't do that. So in what way are they really offering with these customer service things? Are they really offering to help you? Maybe all of the answer is they're not. They're not offering to help. So that's just that's the way it is. Sean The Army of Darkness, starring Bruce Campbell, is a cult classic. I had sounding boards full of movie quotes and sounds back

in the mid nineties. The movie is the third in the original Evil Dead series, but can be watched by itself due to the quick history scene at the beginning of the movie. If you do find it enjoyable, you may also appreciate the series Ash Versus Evil Dead that is currently available on Netflix. All right, Sean, well, thank you so much, and I will give I'll give that a go. I'll give it a go. That's gonna be it. From the Freedom Hunt for Today, my friends get ready
