Dems Lost So Let's Just Change The Rules

what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag Noo, mistake American? Great, You're a great American again? The Buck Sexton Show begins, He's a great guy. Now getting the electoral college? Is that anund works for you? Hogever? I think there's there's a lot to that. Because you had an election in twenty sixteen where the loser got three million more votes than the victor. It puts some states out of play altogether.

They don't feel like their votes really count. So if we really want every person to vote and give them every reason to vote, we got to make sure their votes count and go to the candidate of their choosing. So I think there's a lot of wisdom in that, and that's something we talked about on the campaign trail. We need to make sure that every vote counts, and I want to I want to push that right here in Mississippi because I think this is an important point.

You know, come a general election, presidential candidas still come to places like Mississippi. Yeah, they all shall come to places like California and Massachusetts, right because we're not the battle ground states. My view is that every vote matters, and the way we can make that happen is that we can have national voting and that means get rid of the electoral college. And that means get rid of

the electoral college. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show, everybody. Wow, I know I put you through your paces there for a moment. Berto, on the one hand, I totally wants to get rid of the electoral college. And then Warren, who kind of is like Hillary but a little more twangy sounding, get rid of the electoral college. Oh wow, where did this come from? All that's right? When the left loses, what do they do when they lose a contest?

Do they think about why they lost? Why do that when you could just change the rules to suit your side? That's the plan. And it just goes to show you how much nonsense and bull it was when the left was saying for the last two years that the Trump administrations undermining institutions. They will, they will go scorched earth on institutions. They will undermine any electoral process we have.

They'll undermine any agency, any institution, any aspect of the Constitution, the plane meaning of law, the plane understanding of amendments, the Constitution. There's nothing they won't undermine. They don't respect any of these things. They respect power, and they're not even clever about it. Sometimes. Elizabeth Warren's thing there people and Mississippi would funt, no, that's not true. If it were all just about popular votes, Guess what, Mississippi has

almost three million people. That's not going to get a lot of attention. Sorry, so I got a lot of attention in presidential election three three million people. It's been a lot more time in states with tens of millions of residents trying to squeeze out every vote. So she doesn't even know what she's talking about. It it's just not true. But they need to come up with some patina,

some veneer of a justification for why. One of the yes institutions set up by the founders and part of the genius of the American Founding is this system of federalism and states and members of Congress. The Congress is the house representatives, is the House for the people. The senators are representatives of the states. That there's a reason

for all of this. And I don't know which would be more disconcerting that they don't that the Democrats don't know the reasons for the system that we have, or that they just know and don't care, depending on which one we're talking about. It could be either or could be you know, it could be it could be that they know and don't care. It could be they don't know. But one thing that is for sure is that they are also playing into the notion that Hillary really won.

And that is you know, I'm not gonna say it's a dog whistle, but this is this is a subliminal message that they put out all the time. That's one of the reasons they like to talk about the electoral college, just every chance they get to bring up that the popular vote went the way the Democrat. And it's true, the popular vote went the way the Democrat in two thousand as well. That's not the election process that we have. You know, you could also say that there are so

many aspects of the election process that's arbitrary. Why is it one day now you've said it's expanding, We're expanding out voting in different states. Okay, Well, why couldn't we vote over the course of a year, you know, really get a sense. Why not let people vote and then in three months let them vote again. If they want to change their vote, you know, we'll just we'll give people the right to retractive vote. I mean, you could

do this all day. We have a system. The system has worked pretty well for a long time, and the only time Democrats have a problem with the system is when they don't win. When they win, the system is great, and if you question any aspect of it, you are undermining our sacred institutions. As I've always said, one of the reasons the Democrats have so much latitude, they have so much room for maneuver, is that they lack fixed principles.

Their principles. Their principles are situational. They have situational ethics. I like the electoral college when it means that I get to have my people be the president. I don't like the electoral college when it's not. It's a fair system when it works for me, it's an unfair system

when it doesn't. You know, you'll notice with conservatives will say on many issues and many times, and even some of the republic Consenators that voted against Trump on the border, I think they're wrong, as I've said, but I do believe that some of them did it out of what they thought was principle, and that was them saying, at least those that you would say have voted voted on

a principal basis against this. That was their version of saying, Look, even though I like that the president would do this, or I approve of the action, I don't approve of the mechanism for accomplishing it. That's respect for the system. That's believing that there's something more important than an immediate political win and getting your way on some issue right away. But the Democrat Party is going so far left, they're they're going to topple over soon. They're not going to

have any room. You hear what's being talked about, openly abolish the electoral college, allow sixteen year olds to vote. Oh. Elizabeth Warren opening herself up to a whole lot of jokes that I won't make here on this show. But you know, she's somebody who engaged in racial fraud. Now she wants to talk about reparations for a history of

racial discrimination. I'm sure a lot of people would have a lot to say about Elizabeth Warren being a person promoting this, but yeah, she's four reparations, Blake clip mine. America was founded on principles of liberty and freedom and on the backs of slave labor. This is a stain on America. It's time to start the national full blown conversation about reparations. Start a conversation, as Democrats speak for.

I'm going to lecture a lot of people and fire up my base, but I don't really have any outcome in mind here. I don't have any particular solutions that I'm going to propose or policy action that I think should take. I just want credit for being It's essentially an excuse to virtue signal. I just want to I want an excuse to be a virtue signaler on this issue. But you you tell me any matter of national concern right now, and when you look at where the conversation

is happening among the Democrats. When you look at what they're saying, these people that want to be the next leader of the free world, the next commander in chief of the most fearsome and powerful miry and the planet. This is a This is just like a clown car full of and not just because of the number. I mean it's it's a clown car because it's a lot of people and their clowns. These Democrats are not serious individuals, Their ideas are not serious. What they're proposing for the

country is disastrous. And Kirsten Gillibrand, who just it's such a flip flopping, raudulent mediocrity. And how any how any human being who's paying attention couldn't see that is beyond me. But listened to the way she speaks about immigration, play clip ay, that should not be under ICE, It should not be under homeland security. Immigration is not a security issue. It is an economic and a humanitarian and a family issue. There is no such thing as an illegal human. Immigration

is not a security issue. How how could anyone in the press hear that and not hammer her for saying something that is so stupid, so dumb. Of course, immigrant immigration is a is a primary security issue in this country, the infiltration of drugs, the possible infiltration of terrorists. I mean, this is no person who is thoughtful on the on the issue of immigration does not consider to be a secure issue. No person but Jilla brand is just Look, she's just looking for claps from you know, the move

on dot org crowd. I mean, she's just looking for people to praise her for bravery when all she's doing is pandering to ignor Ramis's who need to be in an echo chamber around her. That's all she's doing, just pandering that. The utter vacuity of this I mean is

people have just nothing to offer. Look if you had Democrats coming forward that we're talking about ways to increase competition among different healthcare providers, and ways to bring down prescription drug prices and securing the border and streamline the immigration system. So and I'm not saying these are all things that I would like. I'm just saying, you know, these are things that they could I mean all actually

most of that is stuff that I would like. But you know, if they wanted to increase increase the speed with which we could get guest workers into the country, if they wanted to talk more about. You know, there are serious things if they want to discuss our income tax system and how it really does affect earners instead of the wealthy. You know, there should be a wealth tax instead of an income tax. I mean, there are

at least real areas of conversation. We'll get into one of them, the universal basic income idea later on this hour, where I think Democrats could make a lot of headway, and a couple of them are dabbling in real discussions. But most of what you're seeing from Democrats right now is a disquieting idiocy on display, a real sense that these people will say anything for a round of applause from a far left that no longer really has any governor for just how extreme in terms of policy they're

willing to go. You know, we now are having open discussions about socialism in America. We now have Marxists running for office in this country, the country that spent a good half of the twentieth century trying to prevent Marxism from prevailing, and in doing so saved billions of people from destitution, slavery, and misery. Thank you, America. Now Marxism is in our own midst. I know, that we mock some of these stupid ideas and we disassemble them as

we must. But we also have to understand that for the hard left in this country, they think this is their moment, a swing back from Trump, further left than this country has ever gone. You can see the narrative taking shape right now. Socialism is being mainstreamed. Massive redistribution of wealth is now talked about as though it wouldn't be a bad thing. In fact, it would be a great thing. It would increase prosperity here. We would do

it better than in other countries. You see. That's a big step, one that I don't think many of us would have expected to occur this quickly and this soon. But make no mistake about it, the twenty twenty election is a choice between capitalism and socialism, between liberty and stadism. And Democrats understand the stakes and aren't back in a way from some of the most extreme ideas that they think will be necessary to take us through that whole transition.

We'll get into more of that, and then immigration and owe so much more coming up occuring. Will we be having this conversation with Hillary Clinton we're president, you know, I think we've been that conversation has been around for since two thousand and I think, yes, you're right, Craig. I think after twenty sixteen there was a big, a

much bigger push for it. So, yeah, you know, Hillary Clinton, her loss winning three three million more votes for the popular vote clearly and losing the electoral college absolutely put this put this issue in the kind of in the forefront. Yeah, that's right. Democrat just coming out and saying it there. Well, they would we be talking about the electoral college of Hillarade one. Nope, we would not. You know that they they You give them enough chances and they'll tell you.

I mean they they want to change the voting system because Hillary Law. That's all they need, Hillary Laws, Let's change the voting system. They know this isn't gonna happen, by the way, It's just it's just catnip for the base man. They just love. I don't even know what is is catnip. It's like a thing. It's like a treat, right, I don't even know what catnip really is. I just I just heard that phrase. I just realized, is it really it gets them a little high. It's a little

bit of like a psychedelic. It's fun. It's yeah, it's harmless. Story Kuala's when they eat eucalyptus. Actually, I believe get a little bit of a high from it. True story. Yeah, so Kuala's get a little stoned. Who knew. But they want to change the votes. They want to change the votes by changing the voting system. And guess what they also want to change the voters Play clip twelve. The focus needs to be on bringing more people to vote, not driving them away, not throwing them off the voter rolls.

We want them when they come here to be fully part of our system, and that means not suppressing the vote of our newcomers to America. Young people should also have a say and who represents them for your consideration, Amendment Number one to seven, which would lower the minimum voting age in federal elections from eighteen to sixteen years of age, restore voting rights to fellon who pay their debt to society, help more Americans to participate in their democracy.

We need to work to remove barriers to voting. Okay, that's exactly what we expect, right. They just want to make sure that everybody can vote. Sixteen year olds can vote felons can vote, so change the voting system and change the voters. These are the people that you know. This is the Democratic Party that pretends they have a superior argument. By the way, I had to check this. No, Koalas apparently don't get high. They do eat eucalyptus leaves,

but and they sleep a lot. But that's mostly because eucalyptus has some toxins in it, and it's it's hard for them to digest, and they're very low in nutrition. And I'm just gonna say this, one of the first I don't I'm I'm just telling you, don't. Don't shoot the messenger here. One of the first things that pops up when you ask about a koala bear on Google is can you get an STD from a Koala? No, I just want to point out that what they're it

turns out. It turns out that the reason the reason they said that, it's because you can get you can get a form of chlamydia from kowala urine. Okay, it's from the urine, but I couldn't believe that. That was one of the first things that people also ask, According to Google, can you get an STD from a Kuala from koala pepe from the urine. Yes, in fact, you can get it. You can get chlamydia, Brandon. That's something new we just learned, isn't it. I wish I had

the more you know soundclip, Reddy. Knowing is half the battle. Wow, we just went on a kouala right here on the show. That's why I always got to tune into the freedom Hut, folks. You never know what's gonna happen. We got more. We got some big immigration stuff coming up. It's gonna be exciting. Stay with me. He's holding the line for America back.

First they steal a Supreme Court seat, then they turn around and change the rules on felobuster on a Supreme Court seat, And so when it swings back around to us, what are we going to do? And my answer on that is all the options are on the table. One idea that I think is interesting is, Yeah, fifteen members, but only ten of them are appointed in the political fashion. Five of them can only be seated by a unanimous

agreement of the other ten. But the bottom line is we've got to make some kind of structural form to deep politicize the Supreme Court. I think I would like to sort of exploring a lot of options that we should have a national conversation. Term limits for Supreme Court justices might be one thing to give every president to the ability to choose three. We have people holding onto those seats and ways that I don't think it's necessarily healthy, So I want to face the limit. Look, I think

term limits might be a better way of saying. It's also transparent, isn't it. It's pathetic in its obviousness, but it's also troubling in its unwillingness to be honest. From all these different Democrats there you had Elizabeth Warren, Budhachig I think I'm saying his name right, and Corey Booker all doing variations on how we know it's time to change the Supreme Court? Why do you think it's time

to change the Supreme Court? Change the number of people in the core, change the change how long they serve in the court. Why? Why is that gaining traction among Democrats because they've thought long and hard about what would be a better judicial institution for us to have. You know, has this been has this been decades in the making? No? I seem to recall that for my entire adult life, Liberals were pretty much fine with the Supreme Court as it was. So what's different now, Oh, well, let's take

what Elizabeth Warren said there. First of all, that a Supreme Court seat was stolen. That's a lie. That's this is not an opinion. That's a lie. It's not stolen. Stolen It stolen implies taking something that you do not have a right to. What Mitch McConnell did, and he should get credit for it, was used completely legitimately, legally within the rules of the Senate. The Senate rules. Do not have a vote on Merrick Garland. That's all I did. Democrats do not have The Democrats in the Senate do

not have a clear right. It is not their property. A Supreme Court seat does not belong to them. There is a process for that, and it was not stolen from them. Stolen imply some violation of rules. Right, a theft breaks rules, breaks rules about property, breaks rules about ownership. That's just a lie. She's just a liar, but a liar about a lot of things. So I suppose that's not really surprising. Oh, in changing the filibuster, she blames

Republicans for that. That's cute, because who age the filibuster rule first, when they wanted to just pack the courts with left wing Obamaites who would do everything in their power to undermine constitutional protections for things like the Second Amendment,

the First Amendment. I mean, one part of the Obama administration that does not get nearly enough attention, and there's a lot of them, is is the just brazen assault on religious belief and really on, let's be honest, on Christian religious belief from the Obama administration, whether it was suing the Little Sisters of the Poor or you name it, any opportunity of the the Obama administration got to just humiliate, prosecute, harass people of Christian faith who are traditional Christians, right,

not not the sort of like social justice left wing Christians that are all open borders and all this other stuff. You know, there's a lot of that going on, folks. I guess that's a conversation for a different show. But the change of the filibus so was started by Democrats.

So either Elizabeth Warren is just ignorant of history or a liar, or you know, I guess you could say she's probably both, but they wanted that right now, you have the biggest names in Democrat politics in the earliest stages of an election, saying we need to change the voting system to fit their needs, to fit the democrats needs. We need to change the voters to fit the democrats needs. We need to change the Supreme Court to fit the democrats needs. You see, this is why they this is

why they hate the Constitution. And that's not an overstatement. I mean progressives are inherently intension with and I would argue generally despise the Constitution because it is an anchoring document that holds them back from just going all out, all in on these different matters of state control and expansion of the state's reach. Right, the Constitution is this bulwark, which that word has kind of ruined for me now because of a new crappy website, But it is this

rock in the shoe of progressive Democrats. They just they can't entirely look and they've truncated in a lot of ways of Constitution. They've obviously ignored it, they've made it up as they've gone along, but it's still there and they still have to get around it in some way, and that bothers them, right, they would rather I think if you had and this is why you've had I mean, even people like Ezra Kleine have said things. Who's a left wing you know, a left wing pseudo intellectual. You

know that the constitution's really all? Do we really need the Constitution the way it is? It's so vague, It was written by racist white men, and you know they did. There's all this different stuff that the left says about the Constitution that they don't They don't like it. They'll use it when it suits their purposes, but they don't have any real affinity for the structure and the and forget about even just the structure of our government. Why is it the way that it is? What is the

balance of power really about? It comes from an understanding of human nature? Right, This is also conservatisms. We are rooted in this understanding in this history. The left just they either ignore this or they don't understand it. They don't do the reading. A lot of them don't do the reading. We have an understanding of human nature because we also believe in natural law and the divine relationship between man and God, and that our rights come from God.

But we know how people are and in our government, the reason we have this separation of powers is that power tends to want to consolidate and expand. So the system that we have is meant to frustrate power. It is meant to prevent the accumulation of too much authority in the hands of any one group, individual, or entity. That's the purpose for it. And what you see with Democrats is they chase at that because the mindset of the central planner is, if only I had the power,

I would make a utopia. If only I were in a position of absolute authority, I would make all the problems go away. Who does that sound like Republicans or Democrats? You know? It sounds like democrats. That is central to their ideology and their belief system that if only they had more authority, more power, these things that you and I see here talking about grappling with all these different issues,

they would go away. But we'd also have to give away our say in this process, and our rights and our individual not collective, our individual liberties, those liberties that aren't the states to take away in the first place, unless you're a status and then you think that all rights come from the state, not from God, not from

the natural order of morality. They reject these breaks, these checks on the system when they don't suit them, because central to their belief is the right to centrally plan to make decisions for you, for an Elizabeth Warren or Abeto O'Rourke or name your Democrat. Right now, they view all of the checks on the authority they would have as president, and all of the stumbling blocks along the way that are put in place in the system, things

like our federalist system, like the electoral college. They view all of that as nothing but noise and distraction from the goal of central planning, deciding your life for you, making these determinations for you. It is their ultimate goal. Now I was speaking about how far left things have gotten.

We need to talk a bit more about where Beto falls on this left wing spectrum and also how the media is discussing him, because I'm I'm coming around to this thought, and I will say my good friend Rahim Kassam was one of the first ones. You know, I'm somebody who likes to admit when my mind has changed, because there's a dynamism, there's there's a psychological aha that

you can get from. Wow. You know, I used to think this, but now I've been persuaded by a sound argument, and now I will support a different point of view on this, so that that keeps the mind fresh. That is why I like learning new stuff. I like hearing from different people, and like hearing from all of you. But my good friend Rahim Kassam, who's you know, a

fantastic guy and a great mind. You know, he said the other day to me, you've you can't think of Beto on paraphrasing here, but you know, you can't think of Beto as a as a policy checklist. You'd think of him as a as a character, you know, you have to think of him as somebody who's as I've said, he's an Aaron Sorkin character or mixed with a yoga instructor. I mean, that's essentially what Rays was getting out, which is that the persona of Beto is what everyone loves.

They don't care what he really believes, because the belief system follows. As in, if you get Beto in power, the institutional left with all the you know, with the planned parenthood on the open borders and the Marxism and the you know, the hyperregulation and all of that comes with him, no matter what, they know that what they really need is an actor, an actor who's talented enough to fool fifty one percent or so of the American people into believing that he's the guy or she's the gal,

and they may have that with Beto. We'll have more on that. And then also, I know I've told you immigration, some big news on immigration today, and I'm going down to El Paso in a couple of weeks. I'll have some field reports for you. That's all coming up. Stay

with me. So we know. The media loves Betto. I mean they live Betto, which is like great because I love them too, because there's so much love to go around and if we just unite in that love, they'll be loved everywhere because not only does love win, but love is all you need. And I love you like a love song baby play clip five. Extremely authentake. He's just an extraordinary guy. He has a vibrancy, a youthfulness to him. He has a message which is largely cheerful.

He had a way of speaking inspirationally but also really seriously laying out the stakes. What he has to start with as a charisma that you just can't manufacture. The Kennedy wins has got the sun in his face, who looks like Sonny optimistic, not the indoor bureaucrat sitting at some dusk somewhere seeing him, it's like it's like a Jesus Christ superstar. Seeing this guy in front of people. He's got that celebrity or about him, and in that moment,

he was owning that celebrity superstar, Jesus Christ superstar. All this stuff. Man, Man, they can't find enough. They can't find enough things to say it about Beto, they can't find enough ways to But now keep in mind, you know, even even even mister Batto needs to keep the media on his side, do everything that they can. Now, he needs to do everything that he can to make sure that, you know, he plays within these rules that they've set

up for himself. So he's already doing some apologizing because you know, on the left now, apologizing is a kind of public penance. You know you're not really going to get in trouble for it. You know that you're not going to be held to any real account or standard. But because you're apologizing with the safety of no consequences, there's no reason not to. Right. So Banto is out there doing a little mini apology to our play for there was a report that came out today that share

things I had written as a teenager. Really hateful, really that stuff. I'm mortified to read it now, incredibly embarrassed. But I have to take ownership of my words and understand the way that they make people feel when they read them. Now I have to look long and hard at my actions, at the language that I have used. That will be much more thoughtful going forward, in a way that I talk about our marriage, and also the way in which I acknowledge the truth of the criticism

that I have enjoyed. And white privileged, absolutely undeniable. He's apology jizing for what he wrote as a teenager. He's apologizing for his white privilege. He's apologizing for saying his wife mostly raises the kids. Man, why, why do you know, when do we realize as a society that this this kind of pseudo apology mania that we have where you know, he's not really sorry for any of that stuff, or at least I don't think he is. It's just so tiresome.

It's also worthless. It's just it's just a waste of everyone's time. But it's a power thing on the left right. They want you to apologize because it's you bend the knee, you know, you kiss the ring, and on these issues, whether it's you know, the feminist left getting upset because Peto said that heaven forbid, his wife mostly raises the kids, or on on just apologizing for his white privilege itself.

This is what he needs to do to build up his account, his credits, so to speak, in the social justice bank, all those different identity po tics groups, all those intersectional loons out there, they want Betto to make these apologies, so he will do it. But while there's so much of a fixation right now on these different media narratives around this guy, and and by the way, I also, no one should apologize what they wrote as a teenager when they're in their fifties or forties or

whatever he is. I think he's fifty. Is he fifty? I don't know how old he look. He looks pretty good for fifty. See now it's happening to me, Buck, It's okay. Come over to the dark side, book, come over, walk away from the light, join Beto mania. But on a much more serious note, on a very different note, Betto is asked about another issue that, lets you know, just where just how far left he really is. He's asked about in Fantaside, specifically Play six. Are you more

third trimester of orphans? Are you going to protect the lives of third trimester babies? Because you know, there's really not a medical necessity for abortion. It's not a medical emergency procedure because typically third tromestor abortions take up to three days to have, so you would in that sense, if there was an an emergency, the doctors would just do a C section and you don't have to kill the baby in that essence. So are you for or

against third trimester abortions? So the question is about abortion and reproductive rights, and my answer to you is that that should be a decision that the woman makes third trimester abortion. Media heartthrob Betto Rourke says, it's a decision that the woman should make. Nope, there should not be third trimester abortion of the American people agree on that, by the way, But Betto has to agree with the

far left. He needs that money from Planned Paranute, He needs, you know, nay roll Pro Choice America to support him, so he has to be an abortion extremist. Do not forget that for all the smiles and the happy talk from betto he's going to run as a leftist and he's going to govern as a far leftist. Let's talk immigration. Coming up with this old college admission scandal, you've seen it. People will go to extreme lengths to falsify their records,

and never mind just getting into college. They'll do it for a job too. People will lie about their backgrounds. That could be a problem for you in terms of liability. It could be a problem in terms of getting the employee you think you're getting. That's why you need to call my friends at Global Verification Network. They are the only dual certified, veteran owned background investigation and vetting company,

and these guys are on it. Call them whatever science company that you either run or own or work for. If you're in the HR department, you want to give a call to Global Verification Network and talk to them about how they can set up a program or you. They never offshore any data or client information, which separates them from most of the competitors in this space. Give them a ring. Eight seven seven six nine five one

one seven nine. That's Global Verification Network at eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine tell them Buck Sex incentive with actionable intelligence, magnormal stake, American ring, You're a great American again. This is the buck Sexton Show, Aboon buck Sexton. No, there is no manufactured crisis at our southern border. Last month, we apprehended more than seventy five thousand, the highest in over a decade. And today I can tell you that we are on track to

interdict nearly one hundred thousand migrants this month alone. The border crisis could not be more real. Media has lied so shamelessly about it is a disgrace, but I know it's not. It's not surprising. So it's something that I you know, I have a hard time saying we should expect it because that almost makes it sound like it's not as big a deal as it is. But they've lied about how the caravan's never going to get to

the border. They've lied about how walls don't work, they've lied about how now it's sound kind of like Trump and then we're gonna go to the ninth circuit. I mean, we'll get a bad decision, then we'll go to the other circuit. But it's true. I mean, the media has just been absolutely full of it. On the border for a long time now. But the Trump administration got a victory today. In fact, the first decision of this new court that came down and a five four ruling along Oh, yes,

what they call ideological lines. They're going to be very open about that now that you have a five four mostly conservative majority of though it's not always true. John robert saved Obamacare twice, folks, Twice John Roberts decided that what was a flatly unconstitutional law would be held constitutional through legal acrobatics. But let me just tell you what

happened today. So the Supreme Court has ruled on the federal government's ability to detain immigrants awaiting deportation at any time. This could be days after, it could be years after they are released for serving another criminal sentence. So here's what the Ninth Circuit was involved in this, by the way, But here here's what liberals and the ACLU and the

stealth open borders left thinks. The law should be that if you are serving a criminal sentence and you're an immigrant in this country, and you may be because you know, you can lose your you can lose your legal status right if you're if you're somebody who's in the country league,

but you commit a crime, you can get deported. So what liberals said was, well, if you, let's say, are convicted for uh, you know, a drug crime, the federal government can only after you've serve your sentence, they have twenty four hours to detain you pending the deportation, the deportation proceeding, or the legal proceeding that could lead a deportation. So essentially, if they don't get you in the first twenty four hours, they can't get you. That's what the

liberals were saying. That was what the left was upholding in this case, according to Reuters here quote, Alito wrote that it is not the court's job to impose a time limit for when immigrants can be detained after serving

a prison sentence. Alito noted that the court has previously said that an official's crucial duties are better carried out late than never, and he said the challengers assertion that immigrants had to be detained within twenty four hour hours of ending a prison sentence is especially hard to swallow.

So a victory for the federal government and in this case, the Trump administration, and this is just going to show you once again the left is against enforcement of immigration laws because right now, under federal law, under immigration law, if you're convicted of certain kinds of offenses, you are supposed to be held into tention during the deportation process. And liberals just basically said, well, we don't like that, and some judges came along and said, we don't like that,

so we're not going to do that anymore. Well, that's the law. So then they said, okay, well what we're gonna do is say that fine, you can. You can hold somebody, but you have to get them the first twenty four hours. This is really an extension of the sanctuary city mentality. What's what's really at heart at the center of the sanctuary city debate. It's that local law enforcement,

under orders from member. Local law enforcement works for the mayor or works for the town council or the city council or whatever, they are not allowed to hold people at the request of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement because they have a detainer request, in which means they want to hold them for possible deportation proceedings. So, you know, you get arrested for being a drug dealer in Los Angeles and ICE wants to take custody of you to deport you.

LAPD says no, sorry, you know, we're just letting him out. We're not going to hold him until the Feds get here to pick him up. Well, that's meant to frustrate federal law enforcement. That's all that is. That is local law enforcement for political reasons. And it's and I'm not blaming the LAPD or law enforcement. They are acting on orders from their civilian bosses in a sense, right, the

elected officials that make these policies. But that's local law enforcement were at cross purposes with federal law enforcement, and it's intentional. What's even worse is that there are some sanctuary jurisdictions that will not even notify Immigrations and Customs Enforcement that they have somebody in their custody who is in illegal to give ICE the option just because they don't always say we're going to support this person, ICE will make a determination. But to give ICE the ability

to make a determination, they won't even tell them. So they won't tell ICE. In many cases, they won't hold the person so ICE can get them. And all that is is using the resource shortages of the federal government because they can't have ICE officers ever at all times against them for the purposes of frustrating federal immigration law. That's it. Libs are always on the side of don't

enforce immigration laws. That's that's where they stand. Whenever there's an issue of enforcement, you can count on the left wing Democratic Party to side with, no, you can't do that, we can enforce that. That's not valid. And these courts that have been just filled with Obama appointees. Now fortunately, and Mitch McConnell does not get enough credit for this, but there are a lot of conservative judges now thanks to Trump. Got to give the Trumps to a high

five on this one, folks. A lot of conservative judges are now being put in the federal judiciary. But if you look at what Obama managed over the course of his eight years, I think before Trump came into office, I think about twenty five to thirty percent of federal judges across the board were Obama appointees. So you have not just sanctuary jurisdictions, but also sanctuary judges in a sense doing everything in their power to make sure it's

effectively impossible to enforce immigration law. You know, if Democrats were at least open about how they don't believe in immigration law. I have an easier time with what they do, but they just lie about it. They say that they want to help enforce immigration law. They say they approve of open borders and that they want but when push comes to shove, they're always opposed to the enforcement of these laws. They're always opposed to helping and assisting law

enforcement to get these jobs done. You know, their actions speak much louder than their words, and all of this I mentioned. I just got the final approval in place today to go down to El Paso. I'm I'm looking forward to it because I want to bring you that ground truth and I want to tell you what's going on. But I also feel like it's going to be it's going to be very frustrating to see how overwhelmed the system is down there, and how little interest most of

the media has in bringing ground truth the American people. Look, there's nothing that says that we can't be an open borders country. But if that's what the Democrats want, we should have that debate as a country, and they should pass legislation and just say anyone who wants to come can come. Let's have that debate. I mean, I think that would be the end of America. But at least it would be on the up and up, at least

we be. Instead, they pretend that's not what they want, and they do everything they can to make sure that's what's happening. You know, you know, they pretend that they don't want their friend to drive home drunk. They say, oh, I wouldn't want that, and they keep giving them another shot, another shot, Hey, take another shot, you'll be fine. Oh no, but I don't want him driving home drunk. Here's another shot. That's how Democrats are on immigration, on illegal immigration specifically,

it is a national emergency. They've been lying about it this month. You're gonna see it's over. It's gonna be over one hundred thousand. I mean, that's why I'm going down there so I can see exactly what's happening and also be able to speak with some firsthand expertise on what's going on in the system. So I'm looking forward to being able to tell you about all that. But you know it's gonna have to wait a couple of weeks. Team, We have oh so much more in store for you.

The show is just getting going. We will hit a quick moment of catching our breath. Take a breath, Bust out your acoustic guitar because Beto is going to be with you. Stay with me.

It's hard to believe. Their chants are so baseless that I wonder how long they can continue with this before they're going to have to just admit that this is that there's some other issue right that, you know, How long can they say fossil fuels have got to go. We are nowhere near getting rid of fossil fuels. We are nowhere near being in a position to stop using, and in fact, we would starve and our economy would come to a halt. So what what is it that

they think that they're really doing here? There? Yeah, there are companies that work on renewable that work on solar. I mean there are private sector and uh you know, public sector entities that are researching this stuff. It's all happening. Do they really think it's going to happen faster if they go out there and bank literally bang on some drums and make some noise about this. I'm also just so uncomfortable with those were kids. These are high school kids,

you know. I will say I was never once when I was in high school forced by any teacher to take any position or and certainly to go march in support of something political. And it was I remember when I was at the I was in New York City for what was a gun you know, it is one of these anti gun marches that they've been doing. You know, they have the march. It was the March for Life. Oh no, not the part of me at the March for life, March for our lives. Sorry. The March for

Life is a great thing. It's a pro life movement here in DC, and I'm very supportive of it. It's the March for our lives. That's that's what they are. That's what it was. And they had all of these kids who were being paraded around quite quite truly paraded around, you know, in the middle of the street and marching with signs that say, you know, you know, if you want to save my life, band guns, you know, if you want to protect kids, band guns. I think that

that's abusive. I think it's wrong to push kids to take political positions that they have. No serious person can believe that a ten year old understands national gun policy. It's just not just it's not the case. And I think that it's wrong to take people and to force them into these political positions like this because you think that that's making some kind of an argument. When I see an adult who's marching around with their and they

had little kids too, I mean there were toddlers. I even saw one kid who was on somebody's shoulders and you know, it was holding up a sign. I mean, they have little kids that are being marched around in order to make these arguments on guns, on climate change. And I find this to be a really troubling trend. I think this is new. I don't remember seeing this at least happening in quite the same way before. This is now the progressive left mobilizing the youth in a

way that we should all be concerned about. I mean, this is just not normal, and I don't think it's defensible either. And I have a lot of questions about the judgment and the wisdom of individuals that would put their kids in these positions where they think that the kids should be lecturing adults on very, very complicated issues. But you know, then again that brings me to this is not really about issues in many ways. Right for the left, they have an agenda that is issue driven,

but the political mobilization is emotion based. What gets people fired up, what gets them angry at the other side, and that is an area where unfortunately they excel. That is an area where the left does very very well. I thought this was really interesting. Somebody actually stood up and asked Betto, I just want to take questions because I like the questioning process of the inquiry from you. It's like your spirit becomes a part of my spirit

and we are one with the questioning. Play a teen here this is when somebody said, do you actually have any real policy ideas? Play a teen? What are we going to get an actual policy from you? Instead of dislike platitudes and nice stories. Our criminal justice system I've called for the end of the prohibition on marijuana and the expungement of the arrest records of everyone who's been arrested for marijuana. I've been doing that for a long time.

On the question of healthcare, a proposal called Medicare for America that ensures that if you have employer based insurance and you like it, you keep it, your doctors, your network, what works for you right now. If you don't have insurance, or you don't like the insurance you already have, hum enroll in Medicare. I'm trying to describe not just the goal in the aspiration, but the path that we will

take to get there. Okay, so other people have noticed too that Betto gets all this, all this media love, all this Oh, he's so amazing, he's so wonderful without actually really knowing what he's talking about or having to say at least what he wants on the issues. We'll have to put him through his paces a bit more and see if there's any real substance there, if there's anything beyond just the optics, which is a polite way of saying the superficialities that the media has become obsessed with.

In the case of Beto O'Rourke. You know, when are we going to get an actual policy from betto That is a very very good question. He does want. I can tell you Medicare for More, which is just a waypoint to get closer to Medicare for all, which is ruinously expensive and would bankrupt the country effectively. It just would be a slow motion bankruptcy. But we could. We

can't do it. This magic savings situation that they talk about, where if the government is in control of more, even more healthcare, then it will cost less to give us healthcare. I've heard people try to make this case, make this argument. It's just nonsense. It does not add up at all. The numbers simply don't add up. But you know Beto right now, he's something of a cipher in the political scene.

He's whatever you want him to be, especially if you're a female Democrat or a an urban i'm sorry, a suburban, college educated you know, white male, you know from the from the gen X era. You think that Beto has something special, has some X factor, and that's what they're banking on here. I think that Trump would handily beat Biden. I would assume he'd beat better too, But you know, you just don't know. It's a crazy world we live in these days, and the media is still, despite all

their dishonesty, very powerful and propping up these candidates. So it's not just some of the transcribed interviews that you're talking about, but it is additional information that is coming out that will show not only was there no collusion, but there was a coordinated effort to take this president down. We talk about the deep state. There are players now, even ambassadors that are sitting ambassadors, that were involved in

part of this with the FBI and DOJ. And so as we look at this, it's time that we show the American people what's out there. Declassify some of those documents. I think when the American people see what I've seen, they will judge for themselves and know that this has all been a hoax. And I said he's not worth it,

it got your attention. I've been saying this for two years, said he shouldn't be impeached, But when I said he's not worth it, then it got they And what's not worth is the financial stability of America's working families, and that's what we're trying to correct. And when the time comes Ah. So now we see how the shift is going to happen, and now we see what the game is. It's been happening for a while, it's been building for quite a bit, but it could not be any more

obvious at this point. As the walls are finally crumbling around the Russia collusion hoaxters, you know what they're trying to do, act like they never really cared about this, and you know what, Trump's not worth it. They're not going to admit. They're not going to admit that they are not able to prove Russia collusion because maybe it

didn't happen. They're they're never going to admit that. They will they will leave this as a smear, as an intentional reputational stain on President Trump's legacy for all time, because this is who the Democrats are, This is who the Left is. They are dishonorable people. They don't care that they've put Trump and people, through people around him, through a lot of real discomfort and pain and loss, financial loss, loss of freedom, loss of you know, of

peace of mind. You know, they've really the left has used this Russia collusion hoax to be psychological terrorists against Trump and his inner circle for two years and now that, as Mark Meadows points out, not only is collusion not what happened, the real collusion was among the DNC, Hillary Clinton, the Steel dossier. You know, people at the FBI all trying to bring down Trump as a candidate and then justify that effort after the fact when Hillary won, I mean, whoops,

when Hillary lost. Pardon me, that's right. I won. No, she did not win. That is false. And that's also why you see all this conversation about the electoral college and how it's so unfair and it's so mean and it's so wrong. And you know, she won the popular vote. The popular vote is not what determines the president. You know, I don't know how many times do you have to go through this. Democrats are like a bunch of little babies. Your popular vote. Any when your popular no one cares.

That's like saying, if you were running a marathon and somebody ran the fastest for the first hundred meters, will I won? I won one hundred meter dash. You're not running one hundred meter dash. You're running a marathon. You're not running a popular vote contest. That would change the nature of campaigning. It would change the nature of the ad bys, It would change the nature of the messaging.

You're running a campaign to win the electoral college, so Democrats can wide about this all day long and talk about, oh, the sanctity of our democracy. Meanwhile, you know, they talk about the need to protect institutions by kicking at the load bearing walls of those institutions just to see what happens.

But I gotta tell you, on this Russia collusion hoax, they are we are going to have to be the ones that hold into account because they're never going to admit that this whole thing has just been in an absolute debacle from top to bottom that they have so greatly, in my estimation, undermined, speaking about undermining, undermining the faith that we all need to have in the FBI and the DOJ and these different true institutions of government that have a lot of power. They they just don't care.

They view this as a threat to their power. By the way, we have a little audio here from Devin Nunez on his Twitter speaking of institutions on his whole suit against Twitter, and there's some stuff in there that Devin unas is obviously going to get heat for. I mean, there's some embarrassing Twitter stuff, but everybody's got it. Everyone who's in public life has stuff on Twitter that's said

about them that's embarrassing and mean. But I think that he's onto something here by pushing this lawsuit Play clip two. How is it that every day there's conservatives that are being banned? So you know, look, they don't want to call it shadow banning. That's fine. They can call it whatever they want to call it. But the fact of the matter is people could not see my tweets. Okay, so now, but if you move forward, if you get emails from Twitter, it's constantly left wing stuff, It's constantly

fake new stuff. How is it possible that I can be attacked relentlessly hundreds of times a day by fake accounts that they claim in their terms of service should not be there. Every Americans should care about this if they care about the First Amendment, because the press is definitely changed. The press is dead. And that's why if we don't go and clean this up. This is part of the continuing Russia investigation. We're not going to just let all these fake news stories that we're written about

this investigation, about this hoax that were lies. We're going to challenge every single one of them in court. We're just starting with Twitter. I like it. Fight back, man. We've been through so much, we the American people who aren't on board for the weaponization of the DOJ and the investigative processes of the Special Council for petty political ends. We've been through a lot. I say it's time to fight back a bit. I like Devin Nunis's spirit here with this, and I do think we should look into

whether Twitter unduly influenced the election. I mean, if Twitter is operating as a publisher and favoring Democrats, that has so much more influence over the election than some Russian body accounts. It's not even close. And you could say buckets a private company. But to that I would say, well, there are a lot of media disclosure requirements out there

for other companies. You know, member, you have to put things like you know this ad was paid for by this there's Democrats are always oh, get money out of politics. They want transparency. They say they want to know where the money's coming from, who's doing what for whom, and if social media platforms are acting as arms of the DNC and doing so in stealth, guess what, that's a problem.

That's an FEC problem, and that could be a d o J problem as in looking at how we regulate these things, whether they should be broken up, and what the truth is behind the scenes about how they're moving the conversation left in this country all the time. So we will continue to watch this one team, some very very important threads, very important elements all coming together in this newness lawsuit. I'm hoping to interview him soon, so stay tuned for that. What do you make of the

direction the Democratic Party's going in as a whole? Right now? There's a lot of people running. Some are qualified, some are completely inexperienced by the way, which I find shocking that they would consider themselves qualified. And I'm not going to give their names, but let it, let it sort out. So that's Jamie Diamond. He's the CEO of JP Morgan. And where is it Morgan Stanley? It's just JP Morgan. I always get them confused. He's a bank He's a

banker guy, all right. He's a very very wealthy, very influential, very powerful. And you may say, well, buck, I don't I don't really care. I don't really care what this guy has said about anything, except for the fact that he is part of that class of elites that have much more influence at the top levels of government and you know, much more um ability to move the political conversation than than you would have you know, that than

any one individual you would think usually could, right. I mean, there's there's a lot that Jamie Diamond can do behind the scenes. I'm sure he probably you know, I don't know if he talks to Trump or not, but he's the kind of guy who could get on the phone

with the White House. I think it's so interesting that he's being asked about qualified candidates because it is obvious to anyone who's being serious that the Democrats are putting forward people right now who in the qualification Veto O'Rourke, Pete Boutachigum. I can't even name all the all these candidates that are out there. I mean, some of them are early, uh, you know, individuals of minimal and we

mentioned Andrew Young before. He's got some interesting ideas. But you know, we're talking about people of minimal achievement professionally, and they're being put forward, and it's it's worth noting from from my perspective, at least that the Democrat Party that for the last three years, because it goes back

into the election cycle as well. I's been telling us that Trump wasn't Trump, wasn't smart enough, wasn't he wasn't good enough, he wasn't smart enough at gosh darted no. But really they were saying that he wasn't a wasn't a candidate that we should take seriously, even though he ended up witting because he doesn't have the intellect and

the background and the political experience. And now here we are, after a few years of Trump doing a pretty good job as president, and they're putting forward people that no serious person thinks, no serious person thinks are serious candidates or rather should be treated seriously. But we are kind of in a in an era of political post seriousness now.

And that Jamie Diamond, who's a guy who's liberal, but he understands how business works, he understands how he and he was vilified during the whole Occupy Wall Street era. He's someone who has to live in the real world and he, I think is watching what's happening right now in this election cycle with the Democrats side so far and he's got to be thinking to himself, these guys

are whacked out. These guys really haven't have an issue here because and I have heard, and this takes me to the the Howard Schultz town hall that Fox News is gonna be hosting soon. I've heard, and I think he may have even said this publicly now that if one of the socialist candidates turns out to be the Democrat nominee, Bernie Sanders plans on I'm sorry, Howard Schultz, rather not Howard Schultz plans on running a third party candidate, or running as a third party candidate, Howard Schultz is

going to get in the get in the mix. Now, you gotta think to yourself, that's a pretty powerful incentive for the Democrats to stay with a more centrist candidate. But I do think that there's at some level a revelation among the Remember the Democrats, plenty of Democrat billionaires.

You know, there's the ones, you know, because they're so politically active, right, There's there's Soros obviously, and there's Tom Steyer, and there's Oprah, and there's you know, all these Democrats, Bloomberg billionaire Democrats that are running around super rich and I think that the wealthy, the very wealthy Democrats are seeing a little bit of this eat the rich mentality that's coming out of this coming out of this primary and thinking, or you know, this early stage of the

Democratic race for the nomination, they're thinking themselves, maybe this is for real. Maybe they really do want a major wealth tax, and they want to take you know, now, then you'll get an The people that will really be upset by very very high taxes on earnings aren't billionaires, because billionaires doesn't matter, they never have to earn any

money ever again. But people that are millionaires, when you start saying you're going to tax their earnings at seventy percent or eighty percent, they don't like that because that money to them makes a difference. They think that's a problem. And I think Democrats are realizing that the inmates might be running the asylum here pretty soon unless they get a handle on things. Jamie Diamond certainly recognizes it. He says, some of these guys are completely inexperience. It's absolutely true.

And not only the completely inexperienced, their ideas and their policies are nuts, I mean, just off the wall. So you've got people with. I mean, this is the Occasio Cortez effect. You have people that have a tremendous amount of influence in sway and don't really know, you know, don't really know how the world functions in any meaningful sense, and they're the ones that are determining the direction of the Democrat Party right now. One other quick note here

I thought was interesting from Diamond. You hear from so many people that Trump was crazy with these China tariffs and how could he be so insane and all this other stuff. Play fifteen here. So we heard last week from former White House Economic advisor Gary Cohne who said, pretty bluntly, tariffs quote don't work, and he pointed to

the numbers we saw that. It stunned me. I mean, you've got an eight hundred ninety one billion dollars trade deficit, four hundred and nineteen billion dollars defsit in goods, both records. After the President said, you know, I can solve this is Gary Cohne, right, they don't work. I would I like, Garry, let me say I agree with them. They don't work technically because they cause all these various things. Yeah, but the president we're here, say they worked. I got them

to the table and no one else did. So it was a president right, So it was a Stratton negotiating strategy. It might have worked. Yes, Oh wait, you mean somebody who knows a lot about business and making money thinks that President Trump was right and all of these naysayers you said tariffs were crazy, and I look a lot of concern revatives were also. A teriffist attacks, a teriffist attacks. Right, So we are being taxed by China, but we do not tax in response to get them to stop taxing us.

It took Trump to come along and say, I don't care what the conventional wisdom is on this. I want to be in a position where we can sit down and actually try to make some progress on this issue. You know, it took somebody with Trump's mindset, Trump's ability to just tune out all the noise from the consensus intelligentsia. You know, I always say to people, don't don't seek security in the false or don't don't seek false security

in consensus. It's not just because other people. Look, I'm the one who' running around saying that there shouldn't be athletic recruiting that destroys or eliminates academic standards in colleges just period. As a rule, they shouldn't do that anymore. I don't care that everyone thinks I'm wrong on that, although not everyone does. I think my argument is sound and I think that I'm right, So I'm not This show is not about trying to find the concessus, my friends,

not in any sense. And on tariffs, I listened you know this. I listened to what Trump had to say and I worked it through with you. On this show. We had Derek Scissors and a really excellent guy on trade over AI. Come on, he's like, no, Trump's right,

some of the stuff needs to be renegotiated. Oh but wait a second, isn't this another way of saying that Trump, it turns out, with his business experience, did know some things, did have some good ideas, not just ideas, but ideas that he was willing to put forward where he was right and the consensus was wrong. You think you're going

to get that from Pete Boichik or Betel y'all? Like I just I just want everyone to agree on everything about like how much we all want to agree because if we take our energy and we just like morph it all together, Like we take our internal ch and we collaborate and we build a better future with it. And that's what the Democrats offer folks, platitudes and nonsense. When it comes to buying wine, most people's selections have nothing to do with taste. Instead, they base their decisions

It never ceases to amaze me how completely unself aware and what a bunch of self loving bozos the mainstream media they the upper ranks, particularly of the mainstream media, are comprised of, and how much they love themselves and think they're so great and they're so brave and they're so strong. I mean, let me tell you this right now. Overwhelmingly mainstream news, mainstream media TV anchors

are overpaid, under read, and not very nice. Not all of them. Some of them are great, some of them are lovely people, and some of them I'm sure are good people. But overwhelmingly there it's a profession that draws a kind of narcissistic personality that has also had to fight for a job that a thousand other people could do. Anyway, that's just a little background for you. CNN has gotten an award. In fact, Jake Tapper over at CNN has

gotten an award. This is from his official count. Congrats to Jake Tapper and everyone at CNN who helped put together the Parkland Town hall from the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Students Families in community. Today they have been honored. Jake Tapper and CNN have been honored with the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Television Political Journalism. That's right, baby, the Cronkite Award for the gun town hall that was among the most unbelievably shameful discussing TV news things I

have ever I have ever seen. I mean, it was here here a little trip down memory lane. They're they're getting a Cronkite Award for a town hall where they invited Dana lash my old colleague and friend from The Blaze. We used to work together at The Blaze for years. They invited Dana lash On as NRA spokesperson, and this

is what it sounded and we could have played. There's so much of this audio, and some of it's really profane and horrible, but this is what the audio sounded like, as Dana, this is the forum that CNN set up to have a real discussion about gun violence, played twenty You know, I have so many thoughts on this. You know, I've always liked and along with Dana, and I know

Dana's husband. I know that she's a great and proud mom of some wonderful kids, and she's walking out there to talk about and she really did engage and talk about gun pola, gun laws, gun policy, what could be done. And people are yelling at her as though she is personally responsible and these are CNN watchers, obviously CNN loots, which is what their audience is comprised of, as though she is personally responsible for the deaths of all of

those young people at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas. I mean, it's it's idiocy for anyone to think that, But it's also dangerous idiocy because if one really believes, as apparently that CNN audience of fools and clowns, if one really believes that Dana is responsible for she is personally responsible for the death of all those young people, then what is acceptable retaliation against her. I'll let you think about that

for a moment. This woman, who has had an incredible rise in her career I have a lot of respect for and has always been nothing but a courteous and friendly professional to me, what do these people think should happen to Dana? I mean, and I asked that an open ended fashion. But they're screaming, shame on you. She had nothing to do with this shooting. But CNN for setting up this, you know, this forum for abuse, which is what it was, is getting a Cronkite award, folks.

Dana responded to this today, curious, where is my share of the award? You needed a villain to abuse and I was the only one on the stage relating the facts later cited as the exact reasons why the sheriff you exalted was removed from his job. Let me know when I can expect an on air invite for acknowledgement. Yep, yep. I mean this is an absolute, absolute joke of an award. I mean, I cannot believe they did this. Dana went

on a tear on Twitter on this one. Some interesting notes, CNN proud of this Walter Cronkite Award winning town hall. Here's some video of it. Some interesting notes. CNN set this up like a WWE event purposefully. They allowed Scott Israel to take the stage before the cameras turned on an electioneer. He took that time about twenty minutes to start blaming law abiding gun owners. When the producers cued me to walk into the arena. It was to the Black Eyed Peas song Let's Get It Started. I am

completely serious. I was shocked and confused. While I knew I was taking questions. We were only told that day that I would actually be on stage. After the broadcast ended, one of my one of my security detail, had to stop a woman who rushed the stage to tackle me from behind. That is when Tapper asked me if I had an escort out. I am positive that CNN's cameras still operational, observed this and would like for them to

release the footage. I showed up in good faith for genuine conversation, knowing that at best it would be a tough event. The lengths CNNPR went to inflame emotions and exploit pain to put on a show is inexcusable, shameful, and its grotesque that they're celebrating getting an award for their conduct. Amen, Dana Absolutely. She also writes those with integrity would reject this absolute sham of an award, but narratives and ratings. Congrats on the show, CNN. Applause, applause,

God bless you, Dana absolutely. And then and in case this wasn't enough, thanks, She writes Jake Tapper for unfollowing me after I criticize the award your company won. I'm not sorry that I was more prepared than you and your network to call out the failures of Scott Israel while CNN celebrated his failures that led to this awfulness. Even afterwards, I was cordial and kind to Jake. I

appreciated the situation he was put in. But if he can't handle my legitimate criticism and deserve criticism of his network's behavior, well then go be a company man. That's a real shame. Yeah, that's right. The most psychotically thin skinned person in media, Jake Tapper. Dana now knows this too. You criticize him in any way, even in the slightest way, at your peril, As many many conservatives that I know have found out, to their shock and amusement, it would

be fun one day. One day, one day, Jake and I are going to have a serious disagreement. There's another movie quote for you. Uh, Dana is spot on here. CNN is a joke. Should be embarrassed by this. Of course they're not embarrassed by this at all, But CNN is a is a joke, and the fact that they give out things like a Cronkite award. I can assure you I will never get an award for journalism. Do you know what my award is for this show that you listen to it that it matters because you choose

to be a part of this. I want an award. I'm gonna get a little trophy. I want a trophy put up my mental of the fireplace. I'd even have a fireplace to put it, the mantel on to put the trophy on. Anyway, God bless Dana lash for standing strong on this one. Well, right back, isn't it a great feeling when you get one hundred dollar bill that you just happen to find because it's inside if a jacket that you haven't used for ages, maybe it's in

an old wallet. It's a great feeling, right Well, imagine finding hundreds of dollars in the papers they're just sitting around. You're filing cabin or up in the attic, but you know it's from that old four oh one k paperwork from the job you had before last one you probably don't think about anymore. Well, while that money's just sitting there gathering financial dust, guess what it could be working

much harder in a precious metals IRA. My friends at Noble Gold can see if you qualify, and they'll do all the heavy lifting for you. This could make you a whole bunch and cost you a nothing. Give Noble Goold to call at eight seven seven six four six five three four seven or text my name Buck to five eleven, five eleven and receive their free Investors Guide. Plus for all qualified iras above twenty thousand dollars, they'll include a complimentary rare graded Morgan silver dollar valued at

one hundred and fifty dollars. Text Buck to five eleven, five eleven Noble Gold Investments. Individual results may vary invest wisely. Standard text rates may apply. Speaking of admissions and all of the different concerns over admissions, and what does it mean for the meritocracy, and what does it mean for our society, you know, because here's the here's the promise

that we have. Here's what we are told that selective schools, these selective institutions, they will um first and foremost prioritize academics over everything else. That's and we know that's not really true at the college and university level. There are a whole lot of different ways that you can get in, whether it's sports, or legacy or minority status, all kinds of things that factor in. But there are some other unique admission situations that confound the social justice left because

they don't really have a ready argument for it. They don't know what to say unless they're going to claim that there's that math is somehow a function of bias, which I think there are someone the left too will claim that, I don't know how they make an argument here. But this is where this is where the social justice left gets all tied up into knots. It's a store in the New York Times. I've mentioned this school before.

It's about Stuyvesant High School in New York City. Now a little moment here where I get to say I got into Stuyvesant High School. For those who I took the test with thousands and thousands of other students and sure enough I passed. Yay me. But I ended up going to a Catholic scholarship school instead. That's right. I went to school on a four year academic scholarship, about one hundred thousand dollars scholarship. So there was that I know,

a little pad on the back for buck. I know it's been a rough week or so, I need a little pad on the back for myself. I hope you don't mind, team, but I know the Sty situation. They call it Sty Stuyvesant High School situation pretty well because it is a school where you take a test and your school determines whether you get in. Well, here's the problem for the social justice left. It doesn't work out

the way they would want it to. Based on the numbers out of eight hundred and ninety five spots for this is considered by many the most selective, elite public high school in the country. In all of America, this is considered number one out of eight hundred and ninety five spots. It's purely based on a test. No legacy, no sports, no nothing else. You show up, you take that test. Your score is whether you get in or not. Eight hundred ninety five spots. Seven black students got in.

So out of eight hundred ninety five spots you had seven black students, ten were admitted. Last year. There's a secondary as a secondary school as well, called the Bronx High School of Science, made twelve offers to black students this year. Now, when I say offers, this is all based on a test. This is just the numbers. This is who gets what? Right now, what do you think the left does when they see this? What is their response? Oh,

they want to change this. This is unacceptable. This is a an entirely this is a pure merit based admission system in New York City, very visible, very famous public school. Guess what we mentioned the show Hackers. You know where the students and hackers go to school, folks from that movie Boom Stuyvesant. That's right, in the movie Hackers, they are attending. We're bringing this whole thing full circle this hour. They are students at Stuyvesant High School. Although they're like

thirty year old actors playing high school kids. But that's something else. This is what the New York Times rights here. These numbers come despite Mayor to Build a Blasio's vow to diversify these specialized high schools, which have long been seen as a ticket for low income and immigrants students to enter the nation's best colleges and embark on successful careers.

But mister Deblasio's proposal to scrap the entrance exam for the schools and overhaul the admissions process has proved so divisive that the state's most prominent politicians, from Governor Andrew Cuomo to Representative Alexandri Occazio Cortez, have mostly avoided taking a definite, definitive position, even as black and Hispanic students are grappling with increased, increasingly steep odds of admission into the most selective public schools. You know why, you know

this is the reason they are flummoxed by this. The reason that they aren't already saying, well, let's just create new rules that will change who gets in and who does in. And the reason is because the school and brother there's a whole bunch of these schools, Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Tech, Brooklyn Latin. These are all elite, test based public schools. At Stivison, seven out of eight

hundred and ninety five students are black. At Bronx High School of Science, twelve out of eight hundred three students are black. At Brooklyn Technical, ninety five out of one thou eight hundred and twenty five students are black. I mean, you're in single digits out of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of students at all these schools and it's all about one exam. Do you know why they can't figure out what to do about this? Who do you think

is getting into these schools that are disproportionate rate? Is it rich white kids with all their white privilege and they're just drowning and all the white privilege they have, it's just so easy because they're white. Oh no, that's not the case at all. Stives in high school is seventy four percent Asian American. Three out of four students at SKY are Asian American. So do they have Asian American privilege? Does someone want to try to explain this

to me? Well, how does the left grapple with this? Well, what do they want to say? Where's they're so reliant on this idiocy of white privilege, white privilege all the time. That's what they're always saying, right, attacking people for their white privilege. You got to admit your white privilege. Seventy four percent of them are Asian americ Asian Americans. A lot of them are first generation immigrants. By the way, many of them have students. Many of the students have

parents who don't speak English. As a first language or barely speak English at all, and they're acing an exam, a highly competitive exam. I mean, the Stuyvesant is like it was, like my high school's the equivalent of one hundred thousand dollars scholarship, maybe more. It's probably one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. Now, that's that's about what a private high school in New York City is going to cost you over four years. So what's the answer here?

Are they going to just start telling these Asian students who have no advantage? And oh and before we hear about how it's all poverty base. In fact, in the New York City area, Asians have the greatest rates of poverty in the city. As a percentage of their of the overall population, Asian American students would drop by half under Mari de Blasia's new plan. That's right, that's the

plan here, just cut out. They have a view, the central planners of the social justice movement have a view of how many people from how many backgrounds should be in these schools. This is quotas, my friends, this is very damaging. They won't call it that. That's what it is. They want to tell a bunch of very deserving, very hard working Asian American kids, because that's who this is going to affect. Sorry, you don't get to come here. We need more black and Latino students because we say so.

But where is the Asian American advantage in the system? Why are they able to do so well and get into schools at these rates? Does the left even ask these questions? I think the answers. No, they don't ask these questions because they don't want to have to even try to come up with answers. This is where you expose the fraudulence, the intellectual fraudulence of intersectionality and the social justice movement. They don't want to ask tough questions.

They just want to propagandize. Although I do, Yeah, here we go. It just just some of you probably figure that I made that up about Asian Americans. It's true about This is from the Huffington Post, a left wing site. Asian Americans have the highest poverty rate in NYC, but

stereotypes make the issue invisible. Asian Americans do have They're more Asian Americans living in poverty New York City than any other minority group, and yet three out of four of the top spots in the most elite public schools in the largest city in the United States are held by Asian Americans. Why is that they have no white privilege,

they have no financial advantage. Oh you mean because there are things like family structure and a culture of work and studiousness that I don't know, we you know what, we can't Let's not talk about that. Let's just put let's just put quotas in place, folks, because that's really gonna that's really fair. This is the left answer because

they have no answers. It's ridiculous. Now I'm not gonna say I'm a trend setter, but I'm not gonna say I'm not, or perhaps a better way of putting it is maybe I'm I'm ahead of the curve a little bit on this one. I wrote last week about how college admissions should not be bent, should not be distorted for recruiting athletes to university campuses. College campuses, that this,

this is, this has gotten completely out of control. A lot of colleges and universities have turned into sports franchises with classrooms attached to them. It's just it's just nuts. And this is something that culturally we really. I know it's a huge thing, but culturally we really need to rethink where this is in our society. I'm not saying no sports. I'm not even saying no super competitive sports at colleges. I'm just saying we need to stop with

any of the lies here. You know, we should not have people who can barely read graduating from UNC Chapel Hill or from University of Michigan because they run really fast or they jump really high, or they're really strong or whatever. That should not be happening, and it does happen. I'll never forget when they did an expose of this a few years ago and a guy who was alignman on a football team was he had taken I think four years of Swahili. I think it was four years.

It might have only been one year, but I think he took four years of Swahili. And they asked him in the interview. This was on Real Sports, I believe, with Bryant Gumble. They asked him, can you say you took Swahili language as a full credit course? Here? Can you say one word in Swahili? Who wants to? How many words he could say in Swahili? This Chapel hill football play zero. Wow, that wasn't been quite a course load he was taking. Well, some other people are starting

to think a little bit more about this too. New York Times admission scandals stokes hard questions on recruited athletes happy learned how to put quote. Some students were accepted as recruited athletes even though they did not play the sports described in their applications. They gained an advantage through the widespread practice of allocating a certain number of admission

spots to athletes who might not get in otherwise. This process has been followed for decades in the pursuit of competitive teams, which burnish a university's a university's reputation, inspire alumni loyalty, and often help with fundraising. Now the fraud case has sent a thunderbolt through the higher education community.

Quote every college president in America called this athletic director of the morning after that admissions fraud story broken, asked how do we make sure this doesn't happen in our school? A broad overhaul of athletic admission systems individual one the highest level of NCWA competition and the level of the

colleges and the scheme competing has been overdue. According to several athletic administrators reviewed interviewed in recent days, battles over blue chip recruits in football and basketball already tend to be heavily scrutinized. In those upper echelon sports that there's money changing hands, it is from coaches to recruits, not the other way around. But in lower profile sports like crew, volleyball, tennis, and soccer often called the Olympic sports, there's been more

room for bribes and exploitation. Yep, folks, this whole thing. There's this Scams with college athletics recruiting are everywhere, and they undermine these institutions and it's just not worth it. The top tier of schools for the biggest sports should have special programs in place for athletes scholars, not scholar athletes who get paid a salary, who get a share of the revenue from the NCAA that they're making and

the school's making. And yes, they take classes and they get an education, but there's no more of this pretense that, oh, they got in only partially because of sports, but they're also really great students. Bull crap. We all know it's a lie. It is. Stop with that nonsense. If it wasn't a lie, they wouldn't need to do the special recruiting. Man. So look at this. The world is coming around to Buck's point of view on this one. A little bit a week ago, I was crazy. Now when it comes

to college athletics recruiting, I'm only a little bit crazy. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll calls. Oh it is that little dub stuff going one gets us, gets everybody in the mood. Dubstuff gets everybody in the mood for roll call. John is our first stup. Remember Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. John is first into the mix. Right's hackers reference reminds me of the time I called you and quoted Hackers and you nailed it. The quote was it's in that place I put that thing that time.

You need to bring back the movie game and I miss commy bear, John, I don't. I felt like people weren't as into action movie quote Friday after the first year of the show. But I'm willing to bring it back. But it's really just a function of do the folks you know I listened to the team. Does the team call in when we do action movie quote Friday? Do they want it or do they think that it's you know, it was a nice way that we all got to know each other. I don't know if people are, but

it's a good Friday thing. Let me think about it in Commy Bear. Indeed, the problem with Commy Bear is that you can't make any jokes these days about getting in trouble. And I wonder if even doing a little Soviet Bear and I'd probably get in trouble. You know, is he allowed to say that he likes that he likes t swift? I don't know. Maybe maybe the Feminazis will come after me. Adam rights the movie was hackers. Do I get an honorary black belt? Adam? You do

get an honorary imaginary black belt. I just sent it to you through the brain waves. I hope you wear it with pride shields high, Adam, come out to the coast, have a few laughs. You can't sneak die hard by that easily, Adam, well played, sir. You also get an imaginary Maybe we'll send you a red belt. I don't know if you're quite black belt with that one. That's a little easy. Red belt is what was the highest

karate belt? I feel like they were remember when all the different belts at all the colors, do you know what I'm talking about? Purple? Yeah, that was like green and yellow and brown and brown I think usually came before black. But then there was red, and it's like, well, red looks cooler than even the black belt. So I don't know, I'm just I'm just saying. And then there's like a sash with different gold stripes on it and stuff. There was a lot of a lot of belts. As

Bruce Lee said, belts are important for holding up your pants. Keith, I was listening to your podcast and did, in fact catch the reference to a great movie called Hackers Hack the Planet was part of the message to Hint where the floppy disc was hidden at the train station. A very young Angelina Jolie played Kate. Indeed, Keith, that is true. I saw that movie Hackers many many times. Matthew Lillard, who would go on to star in Summer Catch, which also had starring in it the Jessica Biel in her

absolute movie Prime. That has nothing to do with anything. I just wanted to say that Summer Catch is my favorite Jessica bill movie, her thing, and it is absolutely atrocious. But she's still amazing as an actress. I respect her skills and her craft. That's right, That's what I'm saying. Gotta be careful what the feminazis running around. Matthew love your show. Was very happy to meet you last year

at Talk Tank in Fort Wayne. Once again. I bought a VIP ticket this year a super VIP see you on April thirteenth, Sir Shields High, Matthew, thank you so much, man. I mean, I really appreciate the support. Having people who are part of the team to show up and hang out at Talk Tank is gonna make a big difference as to how much fun I think I will have

and everybody will have. Who's there it is if you're listening to this on whoa wo or if you're anywhere near the Fort Wayne, Indiana area, it's gonna be Todd Starns, Buck Sexton, Tommy larn All in Fort Wayne for Talk Tank and it's gonna be awesome April thirteenth. April thirteenth, So get excited about it. It's gonna be amazing. Looking forward to it. Talk to you then, and if you just type in wo wo wowo and talk Tank, you'll be able to see it. Please please do come out.

We're gonna have a lot of fun. Tommy and I are. We're gonna do an event, but then we're all just gonna hang out afterwards and you know, talk to people, and it'll be good things, good things. William. I believe all conservatives should from now on only for to Robert Francis by his hacker name, Psychedelic Warlord. That is all shields high. Well, ave, you got a good point, man, Psychedelic war Lord. That's that's a that's an amazing Yeah.

My name, my hacker name was Psychedelic Warlord because it's like I could just get into your head and spread all the positive vibes even if you didn't want me to. But like Patou knows, what's up with the Psychedelic Warlord. Yeah, man, we're gonna. I'm glad that we've already got a Beto character going. We're gonna make good use of it because I don't think he's got to be honest with you, I don't think he's going anywhere, folks. I don't think

he's going anywhere. Let's see Michael hey Buck. So the media says over and over that Trump is a white supremacist, then they act surprised when actual white supremacists believe them. My point is that New Zealander shooter doesn't think Trump is a racist because Trump is actually a racist. He believes it because the media told him to believe it. Shields High Michael, Michael, you know, I don't know what that guy really thought. I mean, I read his whole manifesto,

which people always say that. Now there's this trend of don't name the shooter, don't read his manifesto, don't watch anything he did. Well, but what about people like me that make a living analyzing and understanding and presenting the news, like I have an obligation to dig deep into what's really going on here. I mean, I don't pretend to be a psychiatrist or anything, but I do think that I need to have access to the information. I know what the heck is going on. So there is that

in New Zealand. I think they've made it illegal to share the video of the massacre itself on social media. I disagree with that. I do not think you can criminalize newsworthy information and the distribution of newsworthy information just because you are trying to dampen the knowledge of the event. I think that that's wide open for abuse. I really do you know, think about the libs in this country who want to shut down different discussions and don't want to,

you know, have certain topics explored. They may say, well, we can't have a real We can't have this person who's discussing their transition to being transgender and then wanted to come back. You know that that could be dangerous for people. They can't, so we need to suppress that. We need to suppress it. That's what liberals do. Have

to remember this. So I disagree with decisions that are intended to shut down the spread of information and knowledge about news events because it will be abused and someone like me has to be able to see what's really going on in order to have a full understanding of the facts. You know, it's gonna sound like I'm lazy on the couch all day, but you can say I sit around all day reading, but I spend my entire

day effectively researching and preparing for this show. And those of you who listen to the show do me the great honor of giving me your time and interacting with me online with calls, with emails, so that we have an ongoing conversation about all these things, about what matters, about what's happening. But in that preparation process, I need access to as much information as possible, not just on line, but my sources and everything else, my old Dusty books.

We haven't had an old Dusty Books session with Buck in a while. You know, I've got an idea that I'm going to present to you, and some of you will weigh in on this one on Facebook. I've got

this cool idea. So I know a fair amount of former Spec Ops veterans, right, I've got a number of friends, former Seals, former Army Rangers, former marine So I think that a really cool idea, and maybe somebody's already doing this, but I should talk to my friends over at SOFTAREP and The Blaze and Black Rifle, because I mean, somebody

should be doing this. Which is kind of a mystery science theater, but watching movies that are not silly action movies like Commando and things like that, but watching movies like Triple Frontier, which I think I mentioned to you I saw on Netflix was pretty good, and talk about the tactics and what's realistic and what's not and what was well done. I just think that will be a

really cool concept. You get two or three it or three is the I think the optimum number maybe four, three or four spec ops vets who watch a movie, you know, who watch a movie like Zero, Dark thirty or Triple Frontier or Black Hawk Down and just talk about kind of a beat, you know, behind the scenes reality of what looks right and what doesn't. I don't know, I think that'd be a cool idea for a show. So maybe I'll if you guys like that idea, let me know. Maybe I'll reach out and see if I

could arrange that. At some point. We gotta get everyone in one place, though, And I don't know if we could actually watch the movie in real time like Mystery Science Theater. Maybe we just discuss a movie and we play some clips from it. But see, I got all the all the creative juices are flowing. Eric writes Buck love the show. The March fourteenth movie quote is Archimedes the owl from Sword on the Stone. Damn Eric, good call and good memory. Look at you man, not missing

a beat, Not missing a beat. Paul Rights love your radio show, especially in person nations. Keep up the gray work and God bless you from a retired military vet. Listen to you on WBV and w R and oh what, Paul, thank you so much. I really do appreciate that. Thank you for your service to this country and it is an honor to have you a part of Team Buck, my friend. Please keep listening, and please tell your friends. You know they might not have heard of the Buck

Sexton Show or The Freedom Hut or anything else. And the best way that this show grows is by people like you who are already in the community of conservative patriots out there telling your fellow conservative patriots. So please do pass it along. Steven writes, I absolutely, one wholeheartedly agree to the core of my soul. College sports recruitment

is ridiculousness. Oh Stephen, I'm so glad people think that I'm crazy, and then when I talk them through what happens and what's going on, they all kind of end up saying, yeah, I guess you're right, and yeah, you know, this college recruiting thing is ridiculous. College is about education. It's not about your win loss record for the hockey team.

I'm sorry, it does not matter. And bending academic or breaking academic standards in order to bring people into certain institutions pretend that they can do the work just so you might get an extra w It sets a terrible precedent, it really does. It sets a bad example for the rest of the academic community. Colleges are not minor league sports teams. And I know we're going to March Madness. Are already in March Madness. It's like, I'm barely American.

I don't even know this, Brandon, and we in March Madness. It's about this start more American. Okay, yeahs though you're a real American unlike me some commie from Manhattan. Um. Anyway, Yeah, I know that this is it's not a popular point of view, but I'm right. So I prefer to be right then to be popular on issues. So there you have it, at least on some issues. Hey, it's Wayne in Upstate New York Shield's High. How about we pronounce

it they toe. I don't understand what you're talking about, Wayne, but I appreciate the note. My man, thanks for listening up an Upstate New York Shields High. All right, team, that's gonna be it for today's show. It has been fantastic, It has been joyous that has been wonderful only because of your presence. Though. I will talk to you all tomorrow, same time, same place, Shields High. Look, you've probably heard of the AAARP. I just drove by their headquarters here

in DC either day. You know, it's really well known. But what's not nearly as well known is that the AAARP is pretty progressive. They really wanted Obamacare to get past, and they support all kinds of Democrat left wing agenda items behind closed doors. That's why I want to get you all the benefits, all the good stuff that you get from an organization like that, but conservative policies. That's why I recommend AMAC. AMAC is the conservative alternative to AARP.

It allows you to know that you're going to get all the best discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistant dental plans, and sell service options while also pushing for conservative solutions for this country's future. Stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight. Become a member today, Join right now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's am AC dot us slash buck. AMACK is better, better for you, Better for America.
