Democrats Want Payback!

Coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence, magnor mistake American, You're a great American again, the buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody, Look, it's been a tough week for the Trump team. I let's just say it. This is not where we wanted to be

at this point in the year. And no, I'm not just talking about the Fed raising rates, the stock markets sliding down. The Dow Jones Wow swung nine hundred points. I mean, it's a lot, a lot of volatility in the market, uncertainty about the future. That's that's all the kind of stuff that we would expect at this point. No matter what you know, there's a market correction underway. None of this is all that surprising. But we were

promised a wall. You know, we could play for you just endless montages and sound bites of Trump saying the big, beautiful wall, gonna build the wall. We were promised a wall. I need to know from this administration, from the president, how that's going to happen. Now. About a week ago, Trump was saying we're gonna shut down, We're gonna have that fight. I mean, remember we discussed it here on the show, that throwdown he had with Nancy Pelosi and

Chuck Schumer in the Oval office. You know, there were people like me who didn't see the Trump phenomenon early on. You know, I had my reservations, and one of my biggest reservations was is he just saying this stuff? Now? That said, I didn't see any other option better than Hillary, and I think putting him in the position to win was the right move no matter what. So I mean, I have no regrets. I have no regrets, but I do have concerns about where this is going with Trump. Now.

I do have my worries because this was a central promise and this would have been one of those times where we could have said you know, despite all the pressure, all the opposition, all of the mainstream media gathered together in this effort to try and tear down this president, he will have he would have pushed through and kept faith with his bass and kept faith with the promises

that he made. And I don't see how he walks away from this right now without at least expecting those of us who are really rooting for him and supporting him, and people like me who are out there openly defending him. You know, it's not always easy. It's it's not fun to have to go on TV sometimes when they say, you know, why did Donald Trump's charity pay the eleven dollar boy Scout fee for his son twenty years ago? I mean, one who cares, right? But two, I don't

know why did they do that? That seems strange. I don't like having to be in a position where I know every time he calls somebody horse face or there's some other you know, No, are things that I would prefer don't come from this administration. Now, this doesn't mean I don't support the administration. It just means that there is a give and take here, and he represents a movement I did not have some massive change of heart where I think that you know, Trump is a leader

for all time based on his personal conduct. Right. No, we were supposed to be able to count on Trump to follow through, to be a weapon against the establishment, to break down the old order, and to follow through

on promises. We still may be there. I'm hoping that in a week, in a month, in a year, I'll think back on this time on this show and I'll say, oh, man Buck, and I was you know, I was putting the putting the cart before the horse, or I was getting ahead of my skis, or you know, think of whatever, you're cliche and you're tired metaphor all that stuff. I'm hoping that's the case. I think it may still be

the case. I am optimistic, as I'm as optimistic as somebody who's as cynical as politics as I am can be. But there is no way that I'm just gonna let this slide. Yeah, We're gonna go into a Democrat cons because we are. We are in We are going to be in full on defense mode starting in mid January, meaning those who are part of the conservative movement, those who are Trump supporters, we are going to be battening down the hatches. We are heading into a squall. Democrats

and the media want payback. The Muller probe is not ending any time soon. You know. I've been saying that other people. Oh it's gonna end by Labor Day. Oh it's gonna end by Christmas. Nope, this thing is gonna go on and on and on because the purpose of it is to grind away at Trump and his supporters.

The thing that motivates Weissman and Muller and their team of angry Democrats is that they know the processes, the punishment, and if they can just keep this thing going, it's a very effective means of stunting, of hobbling the Trump administration and its mission. It just has to keep doing what it does. They don't have to prove collusion. They never were going to prove collusion. It's a farce. It's

a joke. But we can't counter on executive orders either, by the way, to move the football down the field for Trump, because all it takes is one judge in the Ninth Circuit and the Fifth Circuit and whatever circuit to say sorry, Trump doesn't get his way, And by the time that gets up to the Supreme court or it gets overturned, we'll be even closer to election, and you know what happens. You know, a year from now,

we're just an election mode. There's not going to be any policy, They're not going to be any any bills pass or anything important going on in that regard. So the first two years was when Trump really had the opening to do something meaningful, meaningful on immigration, and we have not gotten it yet. There maybe a time when Trump can you know, finally do this. You know, I also say I don't know why he hasn't released more of the information about the Russia origin a Russia collusion

investigation and its origins. He told me, the President told me that he was he was going to do that. So yeah, that that's we're looking at. That that's going to happen. Hasn't happened yet. It was not a good week for General Flynn this week. It has not been a good week for the administration. So we need to be honest about that. We're not effective in spreading the message. We're not effective supporters of the movement or activists or well,

you know whatever, patriots. However you want to self describe this point in time in this country, we have to be honest about where things are and where this is all going, and after pressure, where we can And I mean, I'm here in DC, I'm talking to all my people. I'm talking to people that are going in and out of the White House on a regular basis to talk to the people that are making these decisions. And I'm saying, look, you got you gotta you guys are gonna make this happen.

It's go time, and you know it's not too late. That's one of the reasons why I'm sitting here talking about this, because there are people I know who listen to this show here in DC who have real leverage, sway and access, and they can get the word out. They can tell people to tell the man himself, you've got to fight this fight. We were told for heading into a shutdown. We were told that the President was willing to go to the mat on this, and that

is not happening. And I have not gotten to acceptable answer as to why that is the case. Accountability, my friends, Accountability, we must enforce it ourselves. We must be willing to self correct this movement, to assess where it's going, what it has accomplished. Yes, judges, great deregulation, great tax cuts, Gramy, you know, we're all you're aware of all that. I'm

aware of all that. Not Hillary. Wow, great, right, I mean, there's so much good stuff and I am forever thankful to Trump for those things, and the movement and the political miracle that he pulled off is still incredible. But it's not enough. We're not there yet. You know, if this is going to be a momentous administration that is the equivalent of what Reagan was for thirty years after he was an office and still is in many ways

to this day. Trump has got to be willing to have the tough fights and we haven't had haven't had it on healthcare, haven't had it on an immigration. And you know, keep in mind the president doesn't just have the Democrat to contend with. You know, we could get a major national security challenge here. Who knows what's going to happen. Yeah, there's the Chinese and their preparations to overtake us economically and militarily in the next twenty years.

And but South China. See, something could heat up really fast all of a sudden, You're in the the midst of a crisis. Terrorism could come back. God forbid, and then the administration's embattled just dealing with Chihatas you know, there's a lot of stuff that falls into those unknown, unknown categories that can come back and bite you. So the time is now. Trump has said that this is what we're going to do. We're going to have this fight. They're going to build a wall. I hope that he

still intends to keep his promise. I think he will, but I expect him to. I was on Fox last night and we discussed the Flint situation and also this shutting down of the Trump charity, and it really it really turned into a discussion about the two tiers of law in this country. It's one of the most damaging things that's happening in America right now. It's a bigger concern for me in the near future than, you know, than other big structural problems, you know, the debt and

things that we could talk about at length. Why is it that we have just come to accept that Republicans, for political purposes, get destroyed by abuse of the law and abuse of power from within the government, and Democrats get to skate, get to get off scott free for for far worse violations. Why is it. The Clinton Foundation doesn't ever get investigated by any attorney general, State attorney general,

US Attorney General a usays nobody. No one's going after Clinton foundation two billion dollars raised, big pay to play access scheme. But we're hearing about a Trump charity that they wanted to shut down two years ago that's got a little over a million dollars in total assets. Why the disparity. We'll tackle that in a moment. Stay with me. The charge was out of line for part of the hearing today. I think people were surprised by that. But

there's possible for two things to be true. It's possible that Flynn got again the rough end of things here. He was set up by the FBI. It's also possible that he lied. These things can be true simultaneously. I think they were two tiers of justice, my friends. It's

very troubling. It's very troubling because it's systemic, and if you know the history of how high level prosecutions go, you know that republic alikins always, always, always seem to just get the doubt of the benefit, as they say, and Democrats get the benefit of the doubt, and then some they get the Hillary treatment, the white glove treatment, the oh, we're not going to put you under oath, We're not going to prosecute you, We're not going to

chase after you treatment. Victor Davis Hanson one of the pre eminent conservative minds in my opinion, in this country. He expressed he's gone into this as well. He might sound like, Wow, I don't want to sound grandiose, sound like yours. Truly. Maybe I sound like Victor Davis Hanson sometimes. But he says that there is an inequality in the law. Play clip three. There's a really inequality of the law.

I mean, we talk about the elites, but think of the array of people who have not told the truth. Andrew McCabe was fired for line to federal investigators. James Comey's statements about the FISA Court and the role of the dossier are not true. James Clapper light under oath

to Congress John Brennan Light under oath to Congress. Susan Rice lied when she said she did not request surveiled transcripts and have the moun mask whom Aberdeen and Cheryl Mills lied when they said they did not have knowledge of the email server of their boss. Hillary Clinton. We've had a lot of wrongdoing by elites and nobody's there's been no consequences. So the American people are not paranoid.

They're saying, well, the Muller investigations going here, but they're going after misdemeanors are nothing, and here these felonies go completely on address them. That is at the heart of the issue, and that's what the phenomenon of the Special Council and all the different nonsense around it from the media has shown us that there is one set of laws or one it's really it's the application of law. It's the decision to investigate and the decision to prosecute.

The biggest one being the decision to prosecute, you know, because you can have an investigation and go through the motions and nothing happens. The differentiation, the real point of departure here is are you going to face charges? Because the decision to prosecute is the decision to destroy. Once you are getting prosecuted, you are suffering. You are being punished, even if you're innocent. That's the single biggest difference in

this whole process. Who gets prosecuted is where you really have to look at the inequality where you know, we always focus on how other disparate sentences and who goes to prison longer, no, who gets prosecuted when it could go either way. You know, this is when we're talking about lying under rowth campaign finance violations, you know, conspiracy

to defraul the US government, these kinds of charges. I don't know how we're supposed to trust the judgment of some of the people involved here, like Homey, who's a liar and a snake and a self dealer. Why are we supposed to trust McCabe a liar under oath? Why hasn't he been charged? I never get good answers to this.

Weissman whose Muller's Number two destroyed Arthur Anderson, caused so many people their jobs, ruined life for what to make a name for himself, Just like Patrick Fitzgerald, the Special Council appointed by James Comedy to go after Scooter Libby and Cheney and Karl Rove. The Mueller investigation is not something that is apart from all of this at all. It is just the heart of it, is the center of it. Victor Davis Hansen continued play for this Muller

investigation is not in isolation. We had remember from the day Trump was elected, we were told that the voting machines were fogg we're going to sue. And then there was in a group we remember about the electoral college. We had to overturn to the electors. And then we went to the twenty fifth amendment that Trump was unbalanced, and then that didn't work. Then we went to the emoluments clause he'd profited even though his businesses had lost a billion dollars, and then we've gone to the Muller

And so there's a slow motion, if you will. I don't want to be two psychodramatic like MSNBC guests, but there is sort of a slow motion coup to overturn the elections when we should just take a deep breath and say, we have a chance to adjudicate this in the next twenty election, and we do not want to destroy two and a half two over two centuries of

American constitutional jurisprudence. He's right, It's just like what I've been telling you here, all these different constructions, all these different interpretations of the law, including ones that are just such a reach, such a stretch, so flimsy. The logan Act, the Emolument's clause, the twenty fifth Amendment as applied to Trump because they don't like his tweets, all things meant to end this presidency using some legal mechanism. Now it's

FEC violations. Oh, the Federal Election Commission. That's what they think they're going to do. They make it up as they go along. They have no ethics, they have no honor. We are fighting a dishonorable enemy here for the future of the Trump administration. So while on the one hand, I have criticized, and I think rightly so, that Trump needs to get back on message here and get back on track with promises he made to all of us, But on the other we all need to be prepared

for the vortex that is coming our way. He is going to be lawfare on steroids, and Trump is going to get every true believer in supporter. He has to mount up shields. Hie. You know it's interesting here, mamie. This is another win for the so called Steel dossier. There's the question of whether there's the tape that exists that was brought up in the Steele dossier, which is by the way, looking better and better as more charge

are broad nothing. Nothing in that dossier. The Michael Steele, the Christopher Steele dossier has been proven to be wrong. When I read the Steele dossier when it first became publicly available, what occurred to me is somebody who used to do this for a living is there were a lot of details that should have been easy enough for the FBI to run down and corroborate. There were sources that were identified with enough specificity that they should have

been able to figure out who they were. You know, the incident where they go in brief Trump at Trump Towers. That's five months after this information started to come into the FBI. And the thought that they hadn't corroborated it by then and yet they were using it as information that was worthy of briefing the president elect is just astonishing to me. It is astonishing. As our friend Annie

McCarthy says, there it is. You know, we began that SoundBite with a bunch of different you know, mainstream media hacks all saying, oh, the dossier, dossier looks real. Can't disprove the dossier, you know, if we don't know, let's assume it's true. You know, that's just craziness from these people, and as Andy points out that the dossier was presented

to Trump, this was this was really the compromiut. You know, they often talk about how Flynn was compromised and that's why they had to talk to him, which was a lie. Sally h has cooked that up. But they'll talk about how,

you know, somebody has compromising information on Trump. The only people who really had compromising information on Trump were the federal government employees, the deep staters, who showed up in a meeting with Trump to present him with this fanciful list of nonsense paid for by Hillary and the DNC. This whole thing, the fact that the Trump administration is under so much pressure in getting so much, you know, such an assault from all these different legal angles, and

nothing happens. Nothing happens to those who weaponize the intelligence community. Nothing happens to those who were so reckless and so abusive in their power here, and they were There's no there's no two ways about it. To run a run fis a surveillance on carter Page. You've got to be blanking kidding me on carter Page. To run FBI and maybe even Intel assets against George Papadopoulos, this is all pretextual.

This is all a few people with access and power who hated Trump, didn't like the idea of him being president, thought Hillary deserved it, wanted to make sure that that happened, and knew that when Hillary won, they'd be heroes. And then when Hillary didn't one, they had to they had to create a justification after the fact for all of

this this stuff. These same names keep coming up. I like to remind people, James Comey is the one who appointed Patrick Fitzgerald to be the special prosecutor, the special prosecutor who then went after Scooter Libby on Oh, that's right, lying under oath. That's all they got, Scooter Libby on lying under oath and obstruction, which is just essentially piling another count on top for lying. So there's a history for these individuals. None of this should be a surprise.

None of this is a shock. These are bad people who have been involved in the politicization of the Justice Department and the utilization of the federal government's power for partisan ends stretching back for years. But with Trump they went all out. I mean with Trump, it was break the glass, do everything you gotta do. We've got to stop this guy. And yet Trump is the only one

and people around him that suffer any consequences. It is a grotesque injustice that Hillary Clinton faced nothing for her recklessness, which was it was not just about although that was, you know, the primary criminal issue. It was not just about the exposure of classified information to the server. It was also the fact that she did that because she wanted to evade records requests. She wanted to evade FOIA. She wanted to evade FOIA because she knew that people

were going to be asking her for favors. And if there was ever any real transparency around the Clinton Foundation, then the whole house of cards would fall down. But you know, do people still talking to people look at the dossier and say to themselves a whole lot of sect and you know, is this something that we ever should have believed? Other way? It's it's forign And you want to have a foreign intervention the election, I mean you hired a foreigner to use foreign sources and ran

that to the FBI. That sounds like foreign intervention to me. You want to talk about collusion, that's collusion. I mean that's working with foreign entity should try and try and throw a presidential election very very clearly. So you know, you know, John Ratcliffe Byther was talking about the Coomy, the Comy testimony here. You know, Comy's been doing his usual self aggrandizing grandstanding this week. That's that's Coomy's favorite thing.

Um And Ratcliffe spoke about how, you know President Obama was communicating with Hillary on this unclassified server. These people were all lying about how they didn't know that Hillary had this. There's no way they didn't know. This was coming from some weird email address that was not a dot gov email address, No way play It confirmed that President Obama was communicating with former Secretary Clinton on an unclassified, unauthorized server at least at one point in time while

Secretary Clinton was in Russia. So it was fair to ask those questions. That wasn't any information that he volunteered, and so we were really trying to probe into that, trying to probe into that. You know, Lauretta Lynch was also down on on Capitol Hill today and you know, not a whole lot, not a whole lot it's going to come of that either. You know, she's just not She's not somebody who, under any circumstances the system would

ever hold accountable for anything charges against her. She didn't even recuse herself, folks from the Hillary investigation, even though the tarmac didn't even reccuse herself. They say, oh, Buck, that's why Comy had to step forward. No, she should have had to recuse herself. She should have had to take her medicine on that one. And Comy should not

have bailed her out. She's a political appoint point D. That was her decision to sit on a private plane on that tarmac in Arizona with Bill Clinton while Hillary's under investigation by the DOJ telling everybody to wait outside. That was her decision. She should have had to own that. But Comy wanted a bit. Why did Comy baill are out? Oh, because he figured Hillary was going to be president. Comy thought he had a chance to be a hero for Hillary and Hillary was going to win. This was this

was all about his own advancement. But yeah, Lynch today, But here's the representative Nadler said about this play fifteen. It was a total waste of time. It was simply rehashing things that had gone that would be gone over in public many times. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time. There was no universe in which they're going to press charges against Lynch. I don't know what has to or even hold Lynch accountable for anything. I don't know what

has to happen for Republicans to wake up. But we are in a a state of lawfare with the left, but only one side is really fighting. They use the law as a weapon against us, and we get to have other conservatives lecture us about how we don't want to we don't want to hurt the rule of law and fight fire with fire. Well, okay, so that just means our side takes the casualties. It turns out the Congress is not entirely worthless. I guess they managed to in the Senate at least pass a bill. Oh look

at this, Oh my, what a shock. Eighty seven to twelve overwhelmingly passed this criminal Justice reform bill today, And in a Senate it's got to go to the House, but it's expected to easily get through the House, and people are all saying that, you know, it should make it to the President's desk this week for signature, and they're also excited about out this And look, I'm I am very sympathetic to look taking a hard look at the criminal justice system and essentially making sure that we're

not sending people away for longer than they should go that, you know, I mean, prison conditions shouldn't be I will say one thing that I always I thought that Obama was I'm gonna say that I thought Obama was spot on. I did not. I did not think that it was funny. Ever, you hear all these jokes in Obama, to his credit, and some things Obama did were good, let's not all. Let's not say it. Everything Obama did was bad, all right,

it's not true. To his credit, he said that people in the pop culture, you know, hip hop artists and comedians and others, shouldn't make jokes about getting raped in prison. There's nothing funny about a man raping another man in prison. There's nothing to be joked about that. I mean, it's it's horrific. Uh, it's it's just, you know, it's the

it's really the word first imaginable conduct. And there used to be this acceptance in the pop culture at some level of like, well that just happens, Like no, that should not happen at all. Um. Sexual violence is never okay against anyone ever, and you know, that was just indicative though of how, you know, prison conditions that should not be occurring in a in a civilized, rule of law society. You should not be in car shoot and

have to worry about getting getting raped, for example. So there were clearly areas of criminal justice that that need more attention. And those who were saying, oh, buck and I get conservatives like to be a little bit uh. You know, we tend to say lock them up, you know, throw away the key. Okay, what about non violent offenders? He talked to Bernie Carrick, who went to prison for I think four years for for more or less taking

some improvements on his home that he didn't report. You know, I went to prison four years for that, and he was in you know, he was in a federal prison with people that have done really bad stuff. He's not a bad guy. I actually like I like Bernie care. You know, he's been a really strong voice for everyone needs to think long and hard about how long we send people away and what we're sending them away for.

You know, we need to stop this idea that just because you get sent to prison, lee your humanity no longer counts. You know. Yeah, the different a different feeling about murders and molesters and uh and rapists, but a lot of people in prison for not that stuff. So they gotta remember that. The stuff that this this bill does the first step back. I spoke to members of Congress about this. It gets people out a little sooner

for good behavior. It changes some of the three strikes three strikes situations so that you're no longer getting life. You'll get twenty five years is a maximum for three strikes. Twenty six hundred prisoners sentenced for crack cocaine, we'll get a reduced palty. There's a whole bunch of things that it does, and it's essentially trying to lessen some of the punishments, even out some of what has been done it and I think by and large it's probably it's

it's good. I mean, I think this makes sense. There are concerns that people will be getting out earlier who are bad people, and I understand that, and that's you know, we do have a very high rate of incarceration in this country. We also have a plummeting rate of violence. Although I am a little bit against the conservative orthodoxy here and that I think that technology has played the single largest role in the crime drop that we have, and I can't point to any study that tells you that,

but just think it. Through the proliferation of cell phones, video cameras, and instantaneous communications has changed crime in a lot, and also the ability to use digital footprint and to track people through electronic meaning. It's just it's it's harder to get away with certain things, and the communication with law enforcement is a lot faster and a lot more efficient. So I think that's been driving a lot of this. You look at the crime drop really has coincided with

the proliferation of cell phones. Think about it. Crime in the US, Yeah, I was going out for a while, but the nineties I got really bad in New York and you know, nationwide, you see as technology gets better, crime is going down. I know, it's just a theory that I have. People may disagree with the honor, They got a lot of other things I'll say, But but here's the other part of this that that I can't

help but focus on for a moment. The Congress is about to pass and Trump's about to sign a criminal justice reform bill. All right, fine, why is this? You know? Is this the only thing that the Congress is really able to do. Are we supposed to accept that unless you have a supermajority now you can't get as a conservative,

you can't get anything done. It really does feel like, you know, heads they win, tails we lose, and really feels like at at a time when we've been told that we can't expect there to actually be a wall, that it's not going to happen, it's not going to come through. Um, well, all right, but what about what about the fact that there should at least be an effort to do it right? Why? Why are we not even having this fight? Oh but you got tax reform

and you've got criminal justice reform. That's not what MAGA was all about. That's not what the twenty sixteen election

was supposed to bring us. And I'm sorry, but my feelings on the Criminal Justice Reform bill are a little more muted than they would otherwise be because I get the sense that we're supposed to take this and and be so, you know, thankful for the Republican action here, but this isn't something you know, any administration could have done this, any of it was already moving this direction to Rand Paul and others and Mike Lee. They've been

pushing for this for years, for years. It's a little surprising that Obama actually didn't push for this, But I think Obama when it came to policy, was disappointing in many ways, even to his base, even to the left. The First Step Act is just what it says. It's moving in the right direction for a more look to say,

what is a more fair criminal justice system. There's a lot of talk now also about how there needs to be more done about sentencing and about you know, how long you know about mandatory sentencingment right now, if you're you know, if you go to trial and you're convicted of federal crime, you serve the full sentence. So they're going to try to change that. And really, state prison is where a vast majority of the prison population resides.

Federal prison is a pretty small percentage overall. So this doesn't this doesn't tackle what they call the mass incarceration problem, and it also doesn't watch at all upon the most serious federal crime. So just remember that there's no you know, you can't be a you know, a human trafficker or a terrorist and be covered by some of these lesser punishments some of the changes in the First Step Act.

But it's just hard for me to get that excited about this the same week that we're told basically there's not going to be a wall. We're supposed to see this and say, oh, look how great this is. We are we are heading into some rough seas in twenty nineteen with this administration, and you know they're going to have to do more than just take it on the chin. They're gonna have to find a way to fight back effectively against the Democrat on slot that's coming. And the

First Step Acts as not going to cut it. And soon the House will become the care of a new majority, and what I know will be a spirited Republican minority. I wish the next leads well, but it is. It is precisely because this is so momentary. It's because you are here for just a small part of history that you are inspired to do big things. And on this score, we have achieved a great deal. We have much to

be proud of. Three years ago, when we last gathered in this hall, we began a great journey to set our nation on a better path, to move our economy from stagnation to growth to restore our military might, and we have kept our promises. This House is the most productive we have had in at least a generation. Today we have passed one and seventy five bills, more than half of them with bipartisan support. Wow. Paul Ryan outgoing, outgoing Speaker of the House and the most productive in

our generation. He's like, we passed a lot of stuff. Yeah, like what exactly what that we should care about? Definitely didn't get funding for a wall. Where is the the MAGA agenda right now? Make America great again, as you know, is the rallying cry of all those who support Trump and early Trump supporter and one who I'm very much curious to hear his take on what's going on right now at the movement is our friend Raheem Kassam, who will also hear filling in on the show next week.

He's the author of No Go Zones and has a piece out of the Daily Caller dot com today about sut Us, which we will get to as well. Raheem, good to have you back, any thanks for having me about Hey man, what do you think about what's going on here? Trump is now saying, yeah, it looks like maybe we won't have a shutdown. After all, We're going to come up with some kind of a deal in agreement.

I'm concerned. Yeah, it's not great. Um, you know, there's there's no doubt to the early MAGA adopts such as myself, the MAGA agenda is on the ropes at the moment. I don't think anybody should be trying to fool themselves that there's some cunning for d chess plan going on here. You know, with the Muller investigation and with the loss of the midterms. You know, although it wasn't the Blue wave per se, this is the hardest point of the

administration so far. And instead of I see a lot of people sort of hungering down and saying, oh, we don't need to worry about this. The President's got it all in hand. I think what we should be doing, what people should be doing out there is doubling down, just as the Establishment is now currently doubling down in order to take the fight to them, not just at the next election, but in right in the new year. You know, twenty nineteen is going to be the Establishments

year of retribution. We're seeing all of the things, whether it's the Trump Foundation and the indictments and what's going on with General Flynn right now, and the No Board of Wall funding was seeing all of them coming together at the same time, and that's planned. It's not a coincidence. It's not something that's just sort of happened because it's been a couple of years and these things take a

couple of years. They have always had this plan. And it's the same thing across the Atlantic as well, you know, the Brexit movement being thwarted at its current juncture. The establishment always moves in step with one another with itself. You know, they plan together much more than our side plans together. They have all of their international conferences, they exchange information, they're in constant touch. So it is it

is a cause for concern. It should be a cause for people's concerns, and it should be a cause for people to actually go out their lobby, their congressman and senators and you know, as Paul Ryan just said, I mean I remember when Paul Ryan was held up as a darling of the Tea Party movement. By the way, it's not about the number of bills passed, as you

rightly pointed out, Buck, It's about what has actually got done. Now, there is one area in which this administration is still winning, and that in judicial appointments, whether it's on the Supreme Court or in federal judges. It has something to be very proud of there that there are institutional changes taking

place across the court system. And one might argue, in fact, I've heard many people argue, there is perhaps the most important part of this president's legacy so far, and may well be his best legacy going forward into the future. But people wanted that wall belt, you know, they didn't want what did he tweet the other day an artistically designed steel slat wall. They wanted a big, solid, brick

and concrete wall. People are realistic, they knew it wasn't going to happen across the entire border, but there are segments that they do know need that, and this president, you know, I think should have and I think the impetus amongst his base at least was there to shut down the government over this and really take the fight to the Democrats over it. But the answer to why that's not happening is because the administration it doesn't have

a lot of people. It's it's got fewer people on the front lines than for instance, the Obama administration or the Push administration did, and they're all overwhelmed over this Christmas season. I've got to spend a lot of time with them that Christmas parties here in Washington be seen and the prevailing consentatus where we can only do so much.

There are only so many of us, and they're not getting massive institutional support from the legacy Republican think tanks or the RNC or a lot of these sort of Trumpers, or the November ninth brigade of people who just jumped on the administration after the election. So that was the situation as it stands. Sorry to go off on a bit of a rant. No, we wanted a rant. That's why. That's why you're here. We want a radium rants. Speaking of which, and by the way, I mean I agree

with you. I think that it's it would be delusional at this point to think that everything is just going swimmingly for the Trump administration, right. I mean that it's not helpful to anyone, no matter how much one wants Trump to be successful, helpful to ten that there aren't some some real drawbacks and pitfalls that are that are

either still out there or that have already happened. But that all said, you know, I guess now we've got to get ready for I've been saying, you said, your retribution. I like that construction of it because it's true. I've been saying political trench warfare, which I think is what we're going to be seeing. M But but also I want to ask you about your peace up in the Daily Caller today about how George Soros is named the Financial Times Person of the Year. What is up with

that right here? Yeah? Well, and that's that's a big tell. You know, the establishing refuses to learn any lessons from twenty sixteen, whether it was in Europe, the Nited Kingdom, or whether it was here in the United States. They've taken the approach that they can just wear down this movement, where down this president, wear down this administration, where down the global revolt against the sort of wounds neoliberal world order. And my contention is that they can't, but they are

going to make a fair crack of it. And there are certain tells out there. And one of the tells is Financial Times, which is arguably the world leading newspaper alongside the magazine The Economists of that sort of traditional neoliberal world order, and they've decided this year to award their manadier Person of the Year. I'm sorry to George Soros. And they said it wasn't just about what Soros has achieved this year, which is typically what you've base some

of the year on. They said openly that it's about what he believes in. Now. Sous is obviously a divisive and contentious figure across the political divine, but why he believes in effectively is a pure greed and profit motive for him, whether it means selling out countries, nation states, identities, cultures and so forth. And it's been very utterly clear about that. And I suggest people, if they can get out of their hands, are on the Financial Times today

or on the website read that piece. It's a very hagiographic take of who your source is. But leaving so far as to laud him over owning many homes, one of which being in Marrakesh near an orange grove near the opulent Lammonia hotel. And also they also laud the

fact that he wears a gold plated hearing aid. Now that I think tells us all we need to know about you know who the standard bearer for the for the political cause as far as the establishment is concerned is And it made me smile at least to note that they couldn't give this award to Angela Merkel because she's leaving. They couldn't give it to Theresa May because she's failing. They couldn't give it to Emmanuel Macron because obviously the yellow vest protests in France are showing that

he's also on the ropes. So they've defaulted to this eighty eight year old financier who makes a living out of ruining other people's lives through his hedge fund and through his open society foundations, and again tells you they' everybody to double down in twenty nineteen, and i'd blenty think we are up two right in. Becausam is the author of No go Zones, and you can read his latest on the Daily Caller today. He's got a piece up on George Soros Rare. He'm great to have you, buddy,

We'll talk to you soon. Thank you. Buck. More bad news for Facebook this week, and you're just reaching this point, I'm sure we are, Like, how much more violation of trust can I endure from these guys? These left wing organizations, these far left social media platforms. Enough enough, right, Well, I've got a place for you to go, snippy dot com. Snippy dot com is a new social media site without

any of the biased or left leading nonsense. And you know, thousands and thousands of you have already joined snippy dot com. I'm hoping thousands and thousands more will join because they've been doing updates and they are really off to the races as a new social site. S ippy dot com. They do not shadow band, they don't do any of that stuff. They're not sharing your information with third parties in egregious fashion to try to profit off your data.

None of that stuff's going on, all right. They have an updated user interface and exciting new features also available on the Apple App Store and for Android. Snippy dot com free to join, free to post, go check it out. I was just posting yesterday snippy dot com. First of all, President Trump is going to only support something that advances his position, you know, and he's laid out a number of things that he wants to do to keep America safe and build the wall, and we're going to continue

working with him on that. If there's an opportunity for Nancy Pelosi to work with him. President Trump has already said he'll do that. When the President says he's not going to back down from border security, and then he'll find the money. Quote won't way or the other. It's because he has a solemn obligation to all of us, including people who didn't vote and people who didn't vote for him, to make sure that we are protected in our communities. Folks, this is everybody's business. This has to

be nonpartist. And this is about border security. It's a sovereignation. They're saying the right stuff, aren't they. They're telling us that they they will fight for a wall, that President Trump is dedicated to border security, to getting us border security, and that there will be a wall. But I'm here to tell you there's not going to be a wall, not unless something really profound changes in the next few days. And this is this is a big disappointment and culture

today with her column. And you know, look, I think some of you probably think Anne is great. Some of you are not such a big fans. I've always really liked Anne, both as an author and as a person. She's always been very, very lovely to me, and you know, I'll never forget I bumped into her once with my entire family, I mean, my siblings, my parents, my cousins on the streets in Manhattan, and she was just you know, she took photos with us, and she was just lovely

to everybody. And I knew her at that point from working with her a little bit at Fox. But she was the one who gave Trump really the idea to run on immigration, and he read Audios America and went with it, you know, he read Audios America and took the argument and ran with it. And she also was the one who was saying Trump was going to win before anybody else. Well, here's what she writes today in

her column. If you were elected president after decades of politicians doing nothing about the millions of illegals pouring into our country every year, committing crimes, dealing drugs, driving drunk, molesting children, and killing Americans like Kate Steinley, and your central campaign promise, repeated every day, was to build a wall. Wouldn't you have spent the entirety of your transition period

working on getting it done. Wouldn't you have been building prototypes, developing relationships with key congressional allies and talking to military leaders about using the CBS or the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall. Wouldn't you skip the inauguration and take the oath of office in San Diego so you could get started on supervising wall construction immediately after putting your hand in the Bible and being sworn in as the leader of the free world. You would, if

you meant it well, Donald Trump didn't do that. Now, obviously, Anne's being a little little facetious with some of that there end quote, by the way, in case you couldn't tell, But she's very frustrated. And I'm very frustrated because all along I had this concern that Trump was saying the things. He was saying revolutionary things about what a president should do, what needs to happen in this country. He was talking about he was talking about the wall, but wasn't serious

about it. I don't know if we can say that quite yet, but it's looking like that may be the case. When is the shutdown supposed to happen, where are we going to be in a better place? I mean, here's what Trump used to say about shutdowns Play thirteen. It's like pulling teeth getting these guys to get it done. And you have no idea how tough I've been, And I say, hey, if you have a shutdown, you have a shutdown. The shutdown can also take place after the election.

I happen to think it's a great political thing because people want border security one way the other. It's getting done. And you could do it before the election or after the election. If you do it before, there's a lot more pressure to get a great solution, but it's risk here. If you do it afterwards, there's less pressure, there's less risk. I'm just not sure you'd ever make as good a deal that was in August of this year. Does that sound like somebody that is gonna back down from a shutdown?

Trump could veto it. He does not. He does not have to allow this to happen. Trump does not have to go forward with business as usual on this. But it looks like that's what he's doing. And we haven't even solved forget about put put aside the wall for a moment, which is a big, a big thing to just set aside at all. He hasn't been able now. I know what people say, Oh, it's not his fault and it's not okay, guys, but you know, we got to hold a politician responsible for fulfilling promises that that

politician made. He didn't promise to, you know, to try really hard. He said there's gonna be a wall. He said, Mexico's gonna pay for it. I never believe that that was gonna happen, but you know, it was a it was a good applause line. And maybe that they we're going to have some kind of a teriff for tax in place that would eventually fulfill that promise in some way. But I don't even care. I don't care if Mexico

doesn't paid for the wall. I just want there to be a barrier so that we have real security at our southern border, to stop the cartels, stop the drug smuggling. But Trump isn't even willing to do everything in his power. I would be more sympathetic here if he had done everything in his power to get that wall built. He has not done that. We have not gone to a shutdown, the government has not been shut down. We have not

forced the Democrat's hand on this one. See where the American people are, See where the pressure is when it's clear that Democrats are unwilling to spend a few billion dollars to do something that will only help and could help a tremendous amount with our border with immigration. You know, this is a difficult one. There's some very good people out there who are making the case. I think Trump does have a lot of support for his immigration policy. Men.

Here's Thomas Homan, who was acting ICE director. Here's what he says about how there's just they're just scams going on with our border. Playlip bit. Most of these people are knowledge in the side of the seekers. Violence is

not acclaimed for asylum and lose it. What the politicians all to be doing, rather than going on there pulling a political point that they're doing, they all to be here in Washington, DC fixing the loopholes and our immigration laws that causes these caravans even exists in the first place. I've been up on hill many times this past year with the Secretary close grazing asylum bar you know, addressed the Florida Settlement agreement. Give ICE attention money so it's

not back to catching release. If they close these loopholes, they will stop alaw this ill the immigration but it isn't about protecting the Barter, it isn't about closing loopholes. It's about taking on the Trump administration. It's about politics. Head of Public Safety and National Security, forget the wall for a second. They're not even doing other things that are necessary to built the illegal immigration crisis. They haven't

closed the loopholes. We haven't figured out what we're gonna do to stop family units from rhyming by the tens of thousands at the border and claim asylum. For those who are curious, because this came up recently, someone asked me, this refugee is somebody who wants essentially to claim asylum, but does it from outside of US borders. An assy lee or someone who wants asylum is already inside the United States. So if you're in the US, you're you're

asking for asylum. If you're outside the US and want to come in, you're asking to be a refugee. That is the difference. But we have not gotten this promise fulfilled and we cannot forget this. And Trump needs to figure something out here. It's not over. Maybe he orders he orders some funds shifted around. Maybe the military is able to start this in a meaningful way. But just telling us the walls being built when it's not is unacceptable.

You are now entering the Freedom Huttle Operation Center. All programs must be kept strictly neat to know Team Buck is cleared and ready to the Buck brief. The decision to withdraw American an American presence in Syria is a colossal, in my mind, mistake, a grave error that's going to have significant repercussions in the years and months to come.

That's right. President Trump today has declared that we are going to pull troops out of Syria, and Marco Rubio's claiming that it is a it is a huge mistake. It is a huge mistake. Now, now, there's a lot of complexity involved in this, and there's a lot of different arguments that can be made. Let's together unpack some of this, shall we. We have a small contingent of US troops in Syria right now. They are working with Kurdish allies on the ground and still engaged in operations

against the Islamic State. Now isis, despite President Trump's tweet today, has been beaten in battle, but is not eradicated. The movement has been defeated for now, but isis absolutely could rebound. One thing that I have to say, and this isn't a side, but I can't help myself. One of the

bizarre idiocies of the Obama administration and on Syria. You could talk for quite some time just about all of the mistakes that were made, all the lack of strategic vision, the lack of clarity of purpose, the spending five hundred million dollars to train I think it was seven guys or something. I mean, just unbelievable ineptitude from the a team of so called geniuses, including Obama himself, in dealing

with the Syrian civil War. But you know, one thing about it that always really I just found bizarre was that Obama. You know, you know, as no one calls it ISOL anymore, that was an Obama thing. The Obama administration and Brennan at the CIA and some some executive branch Obama appointees insisted on calling it ISOL. And people that I knew in the intelligence community were as like, everyone calls it isis, everyone calls it isis. Why do they know it's the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria?

Why do they have to do this as Islamic state of Irakan de levant or if you're really pretentious, you call it dash. At least dash is correct, that's the Arabic acronym. But people that are calling it isola Obama, it's gonna be isol working on us. Let's gonna be We're gonna freed them. I'n't always say why does he do this? And the answer was because he thought it sounded smart, just like the same reason Obama would say

ta Liban and bakthan It's like he does not speak pashtough. Okay, we don't need him to do this weird, But that was the thing, you know, with Obama, so much of it was just he sounded the way smart people think a smart person is supposed to sound on these issues. You know, he spoke about them, used the verbiage that the elites would want, and so that to them is the signal that you're smart. Meanwhile, the decision making in Syria was terrible, terrible, and it was a disaster now

the Islamic state because of Oh that's right. Another thing that the media doesn't talk to you about very much. A dramatically accelerated military campaign, and it was a Trump decision. He does not get much credit for it, but it was a Trump decision as commander in chief that really turned the tide. He said, you know what, the guys on the ground, the people out there on the battlefield, they determine, not a bunch of people sitting at desks in DC, the people on the ground in Iraq, in Syria.

They determine what we have to go after and when we go after it. With the air strikes and with any other kinetic military activity in theater, you know what, We call that a game changer. The pace and ferocity of the air strikes, particularly since Trump came into office, was made a huge difference in this fight against the Islamic State, and it's what rolled them up and made them collapse as rapidly as they did. So that Sir Trump does a get credit for this, be sugar credit

for it. Now is the Islamic State? Eradicated, No, it is not. In fact, I actually just spoke to a former four star general, Stanley Mcrystal about this, what about a week ago. He said that the best open source assessments now of how many fighters the Islamic State has under arms in Syrias somewhere in the neighborhood of thirty thousand ish, which is what they had a few years ago.

They rolled into a rock and took Mosul, and so they still have a lot of people that they can call to arms, but they've mostly gone to ground right there now mix again with the civilian population. They have one safe haven on the Iraq Syria border that is roughly the size of the island of Manhattan. It's not a very big area, but they have one area they still fully control. And then there are you know, some other places where they've as I said, taken refuge among

the broader population. And this is classic counterin certaincy problems that if you don't eradicate the virus, if there are only a few cells of the virus left, it could come back. And that's what we're dealing with the Islamic state now, and that's the big concern in the in the short term. Right. This is why people are for example, Mark A. Ruby are out there saying that this is a huge, huge mistake and how could we how could we do this? Oh, you know, Lindsey Graham another one

Rubio and Lindsay Graham played fourteen. It is my belief, but we won't know until we'll ask the appropriate parties that this decision by the process was against sound military advice. That he did it himself, which has ever right to do, but he needs to own it. He does own it. I don't think President has the problem with that. I gotta tell you, I like Kavanaugh hearing Lindsey Graham a whole lot. I want to just keep bombing everybody until

there's no one left to bomb. Lindsey Graham, I'm not sure that I can agree with that guy quite as much. Now he's losing. Lindsay Graham two point zero from Kavanaugh is going back to one point zero, and that's there's a lot of neo Khan in Lindsey Graham. I can't say that I particularly support some of his his never mind just the specifics of his foreign policy, but his inclinations. And now this is the big philosophical debate right now

of what's going on in Syria. As we've had US troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, for I mean, obviously Afghanistan was a little earlier than Iraq, but we're going on now two decades of this. It's it's gonna be like twenty years before we really realize, oh my gosh, how long? How long are we going to keep troops in these

two countries? And now there's even more acceptance I think than ever before in foreign policy circles, at least, that the that the presence in Afghanistan and Iraq is a permanent one, akin to what we have in South Korea, in Germany and you know in Japan that we're just gonna have bases there and a few thousand troops in each place to keep it off and falling apart. We don't want that in Syria, and we need to start scaling back in some of these projection of power circumstances.

You don't want to make this our fight. I mean the US history of and forget the US, the Western history of interventions in the Lavant, specifically of Syria and Lebanon, stretches back to now almost a hundred years of unsuccessful military It goes back to Pykes Pico and the Battle

four Declaration. You know that era. How many people even would know off the top of their heads or would know a period, but the French, in the earliest days of the French Air Force, I mean, go back to the nineteen twenties, the French were bombing Damascus because of unrest and rebellion and fighting. This is not something that we want to be involved in. This is not a place where we want US troops walking the streets or being in any position where they're going to be deployed

on a regular basis and in harms way. Basically, we can't make all of this our fight, and I think Trump recognizes that. And this is Trump is sophisticated foreign policy thinker. No he is not. Does he have good instincts and does he understand the basics of who the good guys are, who the bad guys are, and what we need to do with the bad guys? Yes, he does, which is more than you can say for the Obama administration. Clarity and decisiveness for the commander in chief are qualities

you really need. He he's got the most impressive military in the history of the planet to lean on, but he needs to be clear about what he's trying to achieve as commander chief and needs to be decisive. And as he has with the air campaign against the Islamic State, let the experts implement you you come up with division and give the authority. Let the experts on the ground implement.

But I understand that. You know, the concern is that if we pull out of Syria, there's gonna be this domino effect, But the realities, we're still going to have troops in Iraq next door. So this is just slightly scaling back our residence in the region. This is this is not a complete upheaval of a US presence in the region that's going to lead to a domino effect and a cascade of losses to our allies in the ground.

So I think that that's an overstated issue. And I do think that the the basic approach here of Trump and those who are seeing this way is we just we got to stop doing this. No more wars to build other people's countries for them. We're done with that. And one other side side note here Assad has won the Syrians civil war. The Russians, the Iranians, and the Assad regime accomplished what they wanted in Syria, but that happened when Obama was in office, and we're not going

to change at anytime soon. We're not about to fight a war against Assad and it would be insane for us to do so. And with that in mind, we also shouldn't have US troops in that country, because what will end up happening is as Assad grows more powerful and takes back more of his territory, then there'll be the real possibility of him wanting us to leave, and he wouldn't confront us directly. But what happens if all of a sudden, people under the guise of the Islamic

States start getting really more sophisticated. What if we have a couple of massive truck bombings take out one hundred, maybe two hundred US troops. You know what today is, don't you? If you go back and you look at history, you know this is. This is a day what I think will realize that we began to see the limits of what our mission should be. And I think that's

what Trump. I think that's what Trump is understanding. So I know people are going to give a really hard time for this, but I think in Syria it's the right move. And I think also we're gonna have to take a really hard look at pulling out of Afghanistan, and much sooner than a lot of the strategic planners were thinking what Russia has done here and where the

true brilliance of this intelligence operation comes from is. Way back in the early two thousands, the Russian military conducted a strategic study and started carrying out a disinformation plan in which they said that instead of carrying out kinetic warfare against your enemies, the best thing we can do is create a disinformation and frame around that nation to the point where over time, as we are constantly tearing them apart and feeding them with false information, they would

actually welcome an invasion. Russian disinformation is not new. Disn't vormatzia. It's not new. There you have one of MSNBC's favorite security analysts. They put on this guy, Malcolm Nanci all the time. None of this is near the KGB was doing it for decades and decades beforehand. Russian disinformation this is, this is in the in the very nature of the Russian state. There is absolutely nothing that is uh. You know, we're looking at this now like this is some kind

of crazy shock. We're in a period of hysteria over Russia. I mean, this woman who but Boutina, who was She's been held in solitary confinement, She's facing years and years in prison. She didn't even do anything, I mean in terms of accomplishing anything. You shouldn't even manage to do anything. Didn't move any policy, he didn't steal any information. She thought she was, you know, advocating for Russian interest and probably in some ways thought that it was places where

US interests coincided. I mean, I don't know, I don't know what she was really pushing for, trying to get Russian influence in the NRA. I mean, whatever was she was doing, it's not the scariest thing that's ever happened in this country by a mile Smith going on the biggest crime in history. Oh my gosh. There's a lot of the dumbest people that go on MSNBC. Are are the conservatives that they find or the former Republicans I should say, speaking of which I think I got Maxim

Boot on My Hill Show tomorrow morning. Oh gosh, here we go. That's gonna be That's gonna be a I'm gonna take a shower after that. Um. But Malcolm Nantz is this guy they put on with Brian Williams, and he's really digging into this too, because they had their report, the Senate report about how there's all the Russian social media, the idea that Russian social media changed the election and is a strategic threat to the United States is insane.

This is crazy. Even Nate Silver, who's like the statistics guru of the left right, the five thirty eight guy for those of you know five thirty eight dot com. Even he wrote yesterday that it's not even the top one hundred reasons why Hillary lost the election. This is a lefty who looks at data all day. But he understands that spending a few thousand dollars, it spend like four thousand dollars on Google, you know, spent four thousand dollars on Google. Adds that's nothing. This is ridiculous. But

nances telling that audience what they want to hear about Russia. Oh, Russia's so scary. Play two. They have amplified racism to the point where the alt right, Steve Bannon's own creation of Gamers is now the wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump campaign and our believers in David Duke the klu klux Klan, Richard and Richard Spencer the neo Nazi, and Robert Spencer the Islamophobe, to the point where they're mainstreamed.

This is how effective this information warfare campaign has been carried out they went after to suppress the African American vote. And there is no doubt in my mind or anybody else's in the intelligence community that doesn't believe that it took American citizens to assist them in really getting down to where these voters were who needed to be suppressed. Wow, Malcolm Nanced, this is why we ask you all the time to come on this podcast. Scary stuff, but it

needs to be said, needs to be heard. Wow, you sir so much for joining us once again. Or Brian Williams say, wow, that was sheer lunacy. I played the whole thing for Zoonia here. But this is what passes for insight an analysis now in democrats circles and on the left, the alt right and ben and Blato. Before this, it was Halliburton and Cheney and the evil you know, machinations thereof and these people just they can't handle it. They lost. You lost the election, all right, you lost

the election. Hillary was a crappy candidate. Stop blaming Russia. Stop scare mongering with the alt right. What was the last time you even heard about the ault right? You even see there? All right? What is the alt right? Doesn't even exist anymore? It's like five the losers who hang out, you know, in a basement somewhere. But who the ultright? I didn't band. When was the last time you even saw Bannon speaking of people? This is just all nonsense. I'd like to start to get us into

the Christmas spirit a little bit here, you know. I'd like us to be able to think a little bit about the holidays and you'll tie, cheer and all that good stuff. And so with that, I will present to you one of my favorite, one of my favorite viral videos out there right now about I don't know what it is about little British kids. You know, some of you remember Charlie bit my finger, and you know Charlie

bit my finger, And I don't know about you. I've watched that video almost as many times I've watched We'll do it live. We'll do it live. H blank it, We'll do it live. Anyway. Another great was that, in fact Bill o Arreley's finest moment in all in all TV history. Brandon, is that fair? What do you think it's great? Yeah? Yeah, I think it's the most memorable.

But a little British kid, Charlie bit my finger, he may actually have been outdone recently by a dad talking to his son, a little son named Jackson, about Father Christmas, which I forget is what what of course, adorable little little British children call Santa Claus right Father Christmas. But but here's just a little I just want to share a little fun. I know, policy and politics, we do

this all day long. Here's a little bit of a fun video out there about Jackson and what he says he's gonna do if he's not on the good boy list. Play it he might absolutely, that's why you're That's why you're on the noty list, I swear, trust me. Well, that's why you're on a note list because because you're being noty right now. So you're going to be a note list if you can talking about that, because Father Christmas's note to me, because you're being noted, So you're

on a noty list. I know I'm a good list. You're not because you're not because you ain't being good Bye, I'm on a good list. If you say that again again and then again. Father Christmas sprung me last night when I was at work, I said, you better tell Jackson to start being a good boy or he's going to stay on the naughty list. That he won't. I get no presents for Christmas. That's what he said to me.

So you've got to start being a good boy. You want the wow punching must Actually I'm on the good list. I'm not on the naughty list. Appercut. I don't know if you caught that. He gotta mumble that. The dad obvious just being the son. But the little sun God, Yeah, Appercut, Father Christmas like this, he does this, little not on the naughty list. Oh man, just if I had a cool English accent, just think about how how fantastic it would be for radio. Sorry, guys, no cool English accent here.

That's why I try to bring on. I bring on a whole bunch of cool English accents. We get Rahee, we get Charles Cook, Chef Tom Rogan, back on, he's going to find one and two. He's got an English accent right here. Uh you know, he's he's a fun one. Charles has them more laid back. Anyway. I'll stop talking about English accents. But I just thought I thought that

was kind of a fun one. I'm sure there'll be other fun Christmas Christmas sound bites so we can share with you and maybe Brandon, can we pull a little Christmas music maybe for some of our intros and outros here? You know, what are we? What are we? Chop Liver? You know it'd be nice to get or can I still play Jadel Drade old tradele Oh dude, you can play Tradoldra Okay, then we're cool. Yeah, there we go. Of course, man, drop some Tradel Drado in there. When

does Hanakahan, by the way I think it ended, I'm awful. No, I'm well, I'm obviously not great either because I didn't know. I thought you know, you know, you know what when people say Hanaker song, if you know what comes to mind, Brandon Adam Sandler, of course, yeah, here comes Hanaka. Time for hermonica or whatever. I forget the words, but you get the idea. So yeah, a little Jackson, a little bit of Hanakka. We've got some fun things to talk. Oh oh. And then there's there's this this lady over

at gosh where is she? Olivia Nutzi, who's a reporter for The Daily Beast. I actually met her once a long time, very briefly. Um, but but she says that Trump, who is fighting the war for Christmas does not like Christmas. I think that she's from New York Magazine. Oh wait, New York Magazine. That's the magazine that employs the guy who said that I have daddy issues and I'm very lonely because I cooked a steak. That's right, that's the guy.

He's the the Pulitzer Prize winner in twenty seventeen for criticism, and his criticism of me is that I cooked a steak and therefore I have I have daddy issues. By the way, a lot of people saw that have since have either reached out to be or said something to me like wow, And I said, yeah, I know, I really I should have had you know miss Molly. Oh anyway, I did not forget. It doesn't matter. She was right

there with me though I was cooking the steak. I was like wow, calling me, calling me lonely and with daddy issues. That seems that seems uncouth, seems unnecessary. Here's what Olivia Nuzzi of New York mag though, which is I think we can say a trashy publication says about Trump and Christmas parties played twelve. This person went on to say that Christmas is about the Lord Jesus Christ,

and it's not about Donald Trump. And that may explain his sort of aversion to celebrating this on a regular basis. But it wouldn't surprise me to talk about Christmas all the time. I don't think he's not very good at staying on topic when the topic is not Donald J. Trump, even Trump, even Trump haters hate him when it comes to Christmas parties. You know, they say he's not even good at Christmas parties, which I would note. You know, Brandon, I don't have that much fun at work at work

Christmas parties. You know, I'm not somebody that tends to spend much time at them, because you know, you can't. You can't booze it up. That's a bad idea. You don't want to be that guy that gets lit at the company Christmas party and starts, you know, starts xeroxing parts of his anatomy. You don't want to be that guy, and so, you know, you end up just sort of standing around and talking to everybody. I understand it's a

nice it's nice people do it. But and I hear stories about Christmas parties and people used to go to back in the nineties. You know, back when people could still do fun things, and those Christmas parties sound awesome. Christmas parties today it's like we're all sitting around drinking juice and uh, you know, maybe eating some What do they even serve? I mean obviously general cocktail fair. But what's Christmas food other than baked ham cookies? Yeah, Christmas cookies. Oh, eggnog,

That's what I was trying to think of, eggnog. I'm not really an eggnog guy. First of all. Now I'm gonna sound like somebody that's you know, watching his figure. But eggnog, if you look at it, is you might as well have a chocolate milkshake. And so if my choice is between a chocolate milkshake and eggnog, I go chocolate milkshake. I don't care what time of year it is. Am I making sense here? Brandon? Is this is too random for you? No, I'm into it. I agree with you.

I think like a Christmas party like an office Christmas parties just hanging out after school because you can't do anything more work. You just end up talking about work. It's like, no, I'd rather be home. That's right. Underwear, you know, it extends the work there. You know what they should do. They should let everybody sign a release that this is not actually a work function for legal purposes, so you can't get in trouble for what you say, or you know, you're just a normal citizen. I think

it up not responsible for office conduct. You can just kind of hang out. Then office parties would be fun. I mean, I remember at the Blaze office party a few years ago. There might even be video that's Buck Sexton may have done some Gangham style. You know that. I think that happened U. But now it's it's not really a thing that people people get so excited about, you know, they don't really don't really let it rock out. I'm not a big egg non guy. I'm definitely not

a pumpkin spice latte guy. And I'm finding now that people have like pumpkin spice latte air freshener. And this is just atrocious. By the way, if that video of you doing Gangham style came out, then I would assume you're lonely with daddy issues. Well, thank you. I could take that Gangham style. Man. That was a phenomenon for a while, that video. At one point, if you recall was the most I think it was the most watched YouTube video of all time. Oh speaking, it's from South

It's from South Korea. That guy's name was sy Over. I'm taking you guys back. I know, almost as annoying as the Maco Raino, which was also inescapable for a period of time. Do you know that Aquaman which is out in international release. I don't even know is it out in the US. I don't even know what in the theaters now. But Aquaman has made Brandon two hundred

and fifty million dollars in China alone. That's insane. And the thing is, I've heard that it's a terrible movie, and I don't understand why they have to make these bad superhero movies. In fact, I would like to have a great Christmas superhero movie made. You know they should have Yeah, Batman Begins what or no Batman Returns rather not Batman against Batman Returns was a Christmas movie, but it was a little dark and depressing. I'd like, doesn't

they do Deadpool feature Christmas? I think you're right. I think Deadpool might have a new one. I don't know if it's come out yet, though, I think Deadpool might have some Christmas stuff going on at the first Deadpool was great, But this is this is what I always say. The reason why these superhero movies generally stink, although I like the first Deadpool movie, is because they're made for the international market. They're not making it for Americans to

go see. So of course you're gonna have a lot of CGI because they're really just going to throw up on the screen all this, you know, different flashing lights and boom bang, lots of stuff because when you put the subtitles, who cares? Right? So I think Jason Momoa is pretty excellent what he does. I loved him in Game of Thrones. But my understanding is Aquaman is scarbage. That's disappointing. But I'm just thinking about movies I might

see over the holiday season. I'm getting into Battlestar Galactic US. Maybe we can all start talking about that, But let's talk about the Second Amendment and some infringements on it coming up. Background checks are essential. Every business has got to have them for new employees. Right. This is just a it's a liability issue, it's a sound business practices issue, and you want somebody that you can trust that will tailor a background investigation program to the needs of your company,

large or small, whatever business you're in. That's why you need Global Verification Network. Global Verification Network is the only dual certified an owned background investigations. This is a veteran owned business, and you know we love supporting veteran owned business here on the show. They're headquartered in Chicago. I know the CEO personally. He's a great guy. He really cares about his business because he knows how important it is to get the information right, to make sure they

get it to you efficiently and quickly. That's why whenever you call Global Verification, they're gonna answer the phone. Speaking of which, call them, tell them you heard about them here on the Buck Sexton Show. Eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine. That's eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine, Or go to MYGVN dot com for all your background investigation needs Global Verification Network. The bump stock ban is going into effect.

We mentioned this yesterday on the show, and I've got to tell you, you know, this is one of these This is one of these areas where at first I was kind of okay with the idea. In fact, even the NRA, So don't don't blame me. Even the NRA was favorable to a bump stock ban after the horrific mass shooting in Las Vegas, which which involved the guy who had some some rifles with bump stocks on them,

some without bump stocks. But I figured this is this is a novelty item to me initially when this when this came out and I knew what a bump stock was. I've I've never fired with a bump stock. I mean I've I've fired all kinds of stuff, but I've never

fired anything that had had a bump stock on it. Um. But to me, it was almost a novelty meaning that this would be like lawmaker saying, you know, we're gonna ben chainsaw bonnets, which if you remember that USA Today article a while ago that had the chainsaw bayonet, which spawned some of the most amusing memes on the on the internet. Um, the chainsaw bayonet ban would not be

a big problem for me. I do not think that we would have destroyed the Second Amendment, or the Second Amendment would no longer matter if we were a place that no longer had chainsaw bayonets, right, because they're not really and that's kind of how I thought of bump stocks.

I thought of them as unimportant. But the problem with the Second Amendment haters out there, the problem with the gun grabber crowd is that if you give them a bump stock, they'll take your ar I mean, you know, if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. And that's what that's what the real concern is here. Because this is not a hat tip to our friend Sean Davis yesterday who mentioned this, and I did a little more reading on it today. This could be a

big problem. You have this, yeah, and you have a few issues where it. First of all, the idea that the government could, with just the an act of the DOJ and an executive order turn you into a felon who faces ten years in federal prison unless you take a prescribed action, in this case, turning in a device that you had legally, legally obtained. That's a that's a scary thing. That's a power that should not be taken lightly.

And this is also my problem, one of my problems with what you see whenever they impose new magazine restrictions. I don't mean like, oh, you can't have maxim magazine it's too naughty. I mean, you all knew that. I know. Wow. Wow, I'm sorry, it's late bad joke. You know. I'm just trying not to be one of those journals who says a clip I don't want to I don't want to tend capacity clip to be allowed, because, as you know,

it's not a clip, it's a magazine. But the magazine restrictions sound like they're, you know, not that harmful until you realize, well, in some places it means that some person is going to be at the range, a lawful gun owner is gonna be the range, and an undercover is going to be at the range, you know, checking

on people's stuff. Because this happens. I am YPD. Guys have told me about cases about the thing like this, and they'll see you've got a magazine with them greater than tend capacity, and all of a sudden you're arrested and now they're gonna make you a criminal based on a law that's stupid to begin with. It doesn't really do anything. So there's a lot of reasons why you've got to be very cautious when they start doing this stuff, when they start not even legislating about the Second Amendment,

but just dictating. I mean, this is this is the Department of Justice saying now that if you are an owner of a bump stock, you are you have ninety days or else you will be subject to felony prosecution. And what they're doing is by an order of the DOJ member. It's not even an Act of Congress. So it's not like, you know, this is just government overreach. They're saying that a bump stock effectively turns a semi automatic rifle into a fully automatic rifle, and that is

not true. Hashtag not science. This is accurate. This is not a question of you know, what we believe or what we'd like to think. This is just false. Everyone listening to this show, I'm sure already knows, and many of you know in much greater detail than I do, the differences between the actual firing mechanism of a semi automatic versus fully automatic, and what goes on inside the receiver and how the gas operation works, and the trigger mechanism.

But the easy way to remember it is a semi automatic as you pull the trigger fires once, fully automatic, as you hold the trigger down, it keeps firing until you run out or you no longer depress the trigger. And they're saying that a bum stock makes a semi amatic fulliomatic. That is not true. And in fact, modification of a semi automatic to make it truly fully automatic is very illegal, and fully automatic weapons have been strictly regulated by the government. I mean, you have to get

special federal permission. That takes a long time. It's not easy to do. You know, you have to get special permission to own one, and a machine gun that's that's manufactured after nineteen eighty six. If you own that, that is that results in a long prison sentence. So here's why this is so problematic. Not only are you now making possibly I don't know how many people I don't know. I don't think anyone knows how many people own bump stocks.

I'm guessing it's probably in the thousands, maybe in the tens of thout but I have no idea, that is a guess. But not only are you putting people now in a position where they could be subject to that they could be subject to prison time. You're also setting a president whereby any executive branch, like for example, if there was a Democrat president and Democrat Congress, calling the shots. All of a sudden, any executive branch could come along and say, you know what, we're just gonna ban this

type of fill in the blank. And if you don't like it, tough and the constitutional test about common usage and dcv Heller doesn't doesn't behold muster anymore. We don't care. And this is confiscation. I mean, this is forced confiscation. So it's not even a ban on future sale. This is you have to turn in this thing. At the federal level, top down, you can see how this all

of a sudden gets abused. They can redefine firearms terminology so that they will cover it under a previous federal law, or they'll they'll shoehorn this into a federal law that should not apply, and then they can say at the national level, you got to turn this stuff in. This does not end well. This is not a place that we can just skip over and say, you know, who

really cares? This is for Congress to do. And you know, as my friend Shawn Davis writes here, if the government can get away with lawlessly declaring a piece of plastic to be a machine gun, then it can get away with saying you're a r fifteen is a machine gun knocking in your door, confiscating your guns and throwing you in prison. End quote. Sean's right, So bump stocks, this band is not okay as constituted? What is that? Who wants to guess? Who can guess what that is? And

what that comes from? Brandon? I didn't. I didn't tell you what that audio was. I just sent it to you. What do you know what that was? Well, you labeled it something, so I know what it is. Okay, But what movie is it from? Isn't it from The Nature Turtles? No? But not a bad not a bad. Yes, that is the most iconic nunchucku scene in the history of film.

That is Bruce Lee from Enter the Dragon when he takes the nunchucks or nunchuckoo off of an attacker and then has that moment that it is probably one of the most very famous Bruce Lee moments of all time. Actually, and you might be saying, Buck, why why are you telling us about about numb nunchucks. People call them numbchucks, nunchuck o nunchucks. The truth is that it's actually in the news right now, believe it or not. I've got

good news for you. When it comes to your ability to carry a weapon that I don't think is a particularly useful one, but it looks cool. A judge in New York, no less, a federal judge. US District Judge Pamela Chen struck down New York's nunchuck ban as unconstitutional earlier this week. Did you know this one, Brandon? I did I hear? I heard of that? Is that pretty awesome?

I mean, apparently this is still America. You could walk around, eat a big mac and carry your numb chucks, driving your pickup truck with a big old American flag out the back in peace. I think this is I think this is exciting out that. No, I couldn't in New York. It was illegal. They'll they'll rescue for which is insane. By the way, it's two sticks with a string between them,

makes no sense at all. But in New York in nineteen seventy four, band the bandy weapon known as as nunchucks along with brass knuckles because kung fu was really big, and people actually saw the movie Enter the Dragon, and they saw what was done with numchucks in that movie, and they thought, oh gosh, it must be so incredibly dangerous. These numbchucks, so they banned them. It was it was a criminal violation and considered a deadly weapon. Um and that was That was the way it was for gosh

over over forty years. And now finally to the karate enthusiasts in the audience, you can carry your num numbchucks or I like to say numb chucks, even though that's not really it is numchucky for those who really want to know. Numbchucks they believe come from a flail that we're used in Southeast Asia for the purpose of threshing rice or soybeans. People have come up with different reasons or different etymology for this thing. It is common in okin now in karate, and it has also been picked

up by other martial arts as well. It is two sticks that are connected with a with a string or with a chain. And and I will say that the the numb chuck is is among the coolest to watch somebody you know play with. But also if you hit yourself with them, because I may have I may have fiddled with some numbchucks in my day, Brandon, you don't want to you don't want to catch yourself in the

nose with them, it's not fun and other places. Among among other places, there's definitely some If you go on YouTube and you check out some numb chuck fail, it is a It is a reminder that there are really two kinds of people, trained and untrained, and when you're playing with numb chucks, you want to be you want to be trained so you can It is a good day, a good time for U. For the Second Amendment with regard to numbchucks, not so good with the bump stocks,

but definitely better. And it reminds me that my favorite Ninja Turtle um by personality type was always Raphael but Michael Angelo of the teenager being Nina Turtles had you brought up, he was the numbchuck guy. And I think that that was probably the coolest weapon. Yeah, I think so too. And it's funny they should have banned it to band because when I was I would say this facetiously. When I went to see the Nikja Turtles at Radio

City Music Hall, they had a musical. Back when I was a kid, they sold nunchucks outside the place like foam. I was using it like Michelangelo, and I hit my brother in the face and I was grounded for two weeks, true story, two weeks. Man, then they didn't mess around in the Brandon household. I know, I got violent. I wanted to. Uh I had I had foam, a foam version of it when I was a kid, because in the eighties there was that martial arts craze where they're

opening up karate dojo's everywhere. But but then then things now with mixed martial arts, people actually see how how fighting tends to tends to go down. And usually, and every time I say this, somebody, someone who's like, I'm a ninth degree black belt, sends me a message it gets mad at me. I'm just saying, for most of us, okay, for us mortals, a spinning roundhouse kick when you're leaping off the top of the roof of a car is not a great move to pull in a street fight,

just from what I've seen, from what I'm told. That's but numb chucks are legal in New York now courting this judge under the Second Amendment, by the way, because they're saying that it's a weapon in common usage before they banned it. There you have it. The show ain't over yet, folks. Keeping it real it's time for roll call. I can't believe how few days there are left for

roll call for anything in twenty eighteen. Just a little preview next week, my friends, I am going to be taking a few days off, so that means that I'm going to be hanging out with family and Miss Molly for the holiday. And the good news is though, I have a lot of excellent fill in guest hosts scheduled for next week. I mean people that you're really gonna want to hear from. You'll have a Rahim Kassam in the mix. You'll have Harlan Hill doing his thing. I

think Harlan's a first timer. Also going to see if we can get the Godfather doctor Mike Opelka in the mix again I guess not technically a doctor, but you know what I mean, and maybe even Ben Weingarten if we can make that happen. So we've got some great guest hosts. So don't think that the Hut is not going to be a rock and next week and then once we get into the new year, oh, they're not going to be able to pry this microphone out of my hand. We're gonna have a lot of work to do.

But I just wanted to give you that heads up for next week. So don't think that there won't be action in the Freedom Hunt. There will be. There will be every day next week, so make sure you tune in and hear from some of our favorite guest hosts, some of our favorite buddies. I with that. That was kind of an eye that got a little a little more guttural than I intended. But I here we go. Let's see what the action is. I want some new Facebook messages, well, not new messages, we got a lot

of those. I want those two. I want new people to write, though. I've got some of my usual buddies lighten up the box, which I appreciate, but I'd like to hear from some of you folks out there who have never written before. Facebook dot com slash buck sexon is the way to do it. So now that we've established that, we can get into it. First up in this piece, we've got Michael who writes, honey glazed hams

are baked, not roasted. Best stay back on those skis, dude, Well, Michael, savor the flavor, because you are correct on this one. Honey baked hams are baked and not roasted. So I guess I just I just lost out in the pork knowledge contest. So there's that. Speaking of knowledge, I think I'm going to do a Filet mignon tonight. And I even have a lobster tale that I managed to get that I might. I might make my own surf and

turf baby, That's how I roll. Lisa writes, can someone please tell the Republican Party that we don't care about a government shutdown, but we do care about border security? Well, Lisa, I think you might know from listening to the show that I'm with you one hundred percent on this one. I'm I'm doing everything that I can here to get the word out. I'm disappointed, disappointed with Trump on this one.

And this might be a recurring theme because the president, you know, it's one thing for him to be slapping around CNN on Twitter and doing all the stuff that he does when I feel like he's trying to execute on the agenda. But I did not, in fact vote for President Trump for his any Twitter game or his sparkling personality. I definitely didn't vote for him for his

personal ethics. I voted because he made promises as a politician to fulfill an agenda and to take this thing all the way to the promised Land, so to speak, and that is not exactly happening right now. I'm not saying he has failed. I'm not saying I don't support him anymore anything. I'm just saying we have to keep him honest. We gotta call balls and strikes, and this unwillingness to make the wall a essentially sene qua non right without which what it's not gonna fly. It's not

gonna fly. With me, I think I'm I'm annoyed by this and I can't hold it back. Thomas right, it's a great day, buck. President Trump has spent two years d esclaim in the middle of these conflicts and has reached a point where d D is confident we have outlived are welcome in Iraq. In Afghanistan. He announced we will be with drawing troops from Syria and their support in Iraq will follow. I'm hopeful we'll hear an announcement in a few weeks. The troops in Iraq will be

fully withdrawn by March. The scale down of troops in Afghanistan will begin in February and complete about the end of next year. It's time the leadership of those Middle Eastern countries to side their own fate. We will be watching Shield tie well. Tom. I don't know. I don't think that he's going to pull troops out of Afghanistan, and I think he might even balk At pulling troops

out of Iraq and maybe even Syria too. In Syria, we've got a relatively small footprint, and so that's a much that's a much easier operation than it would be in some of these other places. You know, we shouldn't be rebuilding these countries though. We shouldn't be the ones who are in charge of making a successful nation in any Middle Eastern country. It's not our fight. And I have tired of this, and I think the whole country has tired of this. And it's a lesson. It's a

less than we have learned. Even when you are the hedge Amon, even when you are the super hour of the whole world, you can't want a decent rule of law, representative democracy more than the people in that country. Sometimes they wanted to Germany wanted it to Japan wanted it to do the Afghan people, some of them, not the way that we necessarily would Walt them too though, and not enough. It's just and it's just not going to be our problem. It's not going to be our fight anymore.

And I think that's a good thing. But I also would keep an eye on Trump backtracking on this one. The establishment is very much invested in us continuing, you know. I mean, you've got guys like Rubio and others who believe, you know, Lindsay Graham, I miss I miss Kavanaugh hearing Lindsay Graham. I don't like, let's bomb bomb bomb everybody, Lindsay Graham. I don't think that's a good a good idea. Carla,

Thank you, Buck. I was feeling discouraged today about the same things you were the guests you had clarify the flint stuff. At least I stayed up too late listening, but it was worth it. Well, Carla, thank you for

giving me your time. I really do appreciate it. Ed. I'm glad that you feel like you can come here and I bring on guests who I respect and who I know bring something to the table, and they're not just going to tell you whatever they think that the overwhelming percentage of this audience wants to hear, or that Republicans or conservatives want to hear, we're gonna tell you what they think is true, and I do the same thing.

And that's a standard that I have for people that we put on this show, and I think we do a pretty good job of always sticking to it. You know, Occasionally some bloviators slip in or also I try out new people. We put new people on as guests, and I can't really know till I hear from them, But by and large, the repeat, the repeat customers we have in terms of our guests are I think as good as as anybody in this business, and they do a phenomenal job. So I'm glad that they were able to

illuminate it for are you? And yeah, the Flint situation was disappointing. Look, it's been a disappointing week for Trump supporters, for people that care about this movement and the populous conservatism that has been promised and in some ways acted upon. I don't really want to hear that much more about taxes, though, because yes, we had some tax reform, but it wasn't sweeping. It certainly wasn't a flat tax or a fair tax, and that's establishment GOP one on one, nothing different about that.

The thing that Trump has been most successful in thus far are his Supreme Court and federal federal court picks, which he has outsourced largely to people who know more than him about that. But that's good. That's what he should do, right, and that's why he has experts in those matters. So his picks for judges and his ability to fight back against the media narrative and to create space for conversation that was even under previous GOP regimes

disallowed because of political correctness. That's where Trump has been most successful, and also shining a real light on the media for being a bunch of clowns and a bunch of fake news jerks. But in terms of immigration, no, I'm sorry, not successful. Healthcare, no, I'm sorry, not successful. There are some areas where we have not won yet, you know, or haven't even seen real progress. You know, the border right now is as bad as it was before Trump came into office. That's just the truth, and

I'm here to tell you the truth. Bob writes Buck been listening to talk about wanting to learn how to cook. I've always liked to cook, but the past few years have really kicked it. Up. One of the best resources I found was a show called good Eats. I really recommend you take a look. It's a combination of Julia Child, Mister Wizard, and the Muppets. The main thing I like is that he teaches you why you do things a certain way. Shields High love your show, Bob, Well, Bob,

thank you. I'll definitely check that out. I'm really I'm really working on my cooking these days. One because I'm obviously trying to impress Miss Molly with new skills. And two i am honestly too worn out from my day to day schedule, which is up at five am, done at nine pm to be much of a much use in the gym. You know, I've definitely lost whatever whatever muscle that I had acquired from previous gym outings. From

the last couple of years. Some of you would probably noticed I got I got very lean and mean for a while there. That is kind of fading away. So I'm spending more time in the kitchen and embracing that. But I'll get back into the gym. I'm gonna have to change my schedule up a little bit in twenty nineteen, but more on that later. Nothing will change on radio, So that's the good news. Shanna writes, Can I learn

more about your background? Well, Shanna, you could have just Wikipedia and me before, but now there are people that have changed my Wikipedia page and deleted it, so that doesn't really work. If you google me all more about my background. There should be a fair amount of stuff

up there, some interviews and things here and there. But yeah, or you could just listen to this show and know that I'll occasionally tell you anecdotes or a little bit of personal stuff, and that's the way it's going to be. All right, that's it form for me and my friends. Thank you so much for hanging out with me here in the Freedom Hunt. As always, I will see you tomorrow, Shields High. It's time for conservatives to no longer live by the leave of the left when it comes to

social media. These big companies out there, Twitter, Facebook, they are dominated by progressives and that filters all the way down, not just into their algorithms, but how they have terms of service violations enforced, all the stuff that they're doing.
