Everything is Trump's Fault

political calculation is. And also Norm McDonald banished. We'll talk about why and how he got caught up in a meet you moment coming up, This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Magnormastake, You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst by the NMVD. No. We believe that there could be well over a hundred thousand people displaced, meaning they've left their homes and can't return.

Put that in perspective, there were about forty four thousand in Houston and the Gulf of Texas uh in the storm that they had, So this is two or three times bigger than that. The federal and state response and preparation to this point has far exceeded anything I've seen

in my previous twenty five years. Um FEMA's prepositioning of equipment, their coordination with the states, the early decisions by governors and the actions by the President to sign the emergency declarations, the prepositioning of water and food generators, the prepositioning of power trucks to take care of the power losses. I've never seen as well a coordinated efforts that's being put on right now. Welcome to Bucks Saxton Show. Folks, I really like that we're getting on the record here from

federal officials. You know how much preparation is going into this, Because one, I want to know that our fellow Americans and the Carolinas that are affected are getting as much

assistance and attention and and and help us possible. That's the most important thing far in a way, Also though, as a secondary consideration here, it's good for us all to get a chance to u to hear from folks who are just being honest about what's going on, because you can tell the media's positioning themselves to pounce on Trump for this, and no matter what happens, no matter what Trump and the an FEMA and federal and state agencies try to do here to limit the damage and

protect life with this massive storm at category three I believe right now still very high winds about to hit the US mainland. They're gonna try to make political hand this. They're gonna try to turn this into a yet another opportunity to bash President Trump. That is, that is a goal here, that is what they're looking for. And that's why you can see that some of the questions they're asking,

they're they're preparing this narrative before it even happens. You had a guy from what Spectrum News producer Mike, who was asking a FEMA representative about funds being directed, and they're trying to they're trying to say, you know, Trump essentially isn't doing They're trying to find some basis to say Trump isn't doing enough here. Trump doesn't care about people that are getting hit by hurricane I just Trump doesn't care about anything. That's the media things, just himself.

That's the storyline they want to run with no matter what. Well, here's how it actually went. When they talk to a FEMA representative a out a play five. We're learning this morning that Senator Jeff Markley obtained memos showing the Trump administration taking nearly ten million from FEMA, which deals with hurricane relief, and giving the money to ICE for more detention centers. What can you tell us about this? Is that funding? This that funding? Would that funding have been

used for hurricane relief? Yes, ma'am, what I can tell you is we have plenty of resources, both monetary, staff and commodities to respond to the dangerous storm that is Hurricane Florence. We again ask those residents there in the impacted zones to heed the warnings. Now, uh, disitional information can be provided, but right now we want to focus on what are those impacts from Florence and what can our citizens do today which is the last good day

to evacuate. And we really want to push that message specifically, shed any light on this funding that Senator Markley is Markly is calling attention to. Yes, ma'am, what I continued, we have plenty of resources to respond. We have plenty of resources to recover. That has not impacted our situation whatsoever. Plenty of resources, he says, Stop trying to find a story, Stop trying to create a story of insufficient resources because you want to make it sound like Trump doesn't care,

isn't doing enough, or isn't doing a good job. Just stop right, that's that's not happening. It's not what's happening. You're supposed to report the who's not make it up as you go along, and not try to force a narrative that's not there. But as you know, folks, the left sea storms as an opportunity, SE's major natural disasters, weather events like this as an opportunity to slam the

political opposition, and they can't accept that. You know, sometimes just really bad things happen that no one can completely or fully or adequately prepare for. There's going to be damaged. They'll even sometimes be loss of light. That is just the way things are, you know, they don't they don't have any sense of that, right, it's always, oh my gosh, Trump didn't Trump didn't do this, or Trump won't do that.

And they're trying to also tie this into uh, what happened in Puerto Rico already to create you see how they're trying to formulate this narrative. Because here's what President Trump said about Puerto Rico just yesterday. Playclip one. I think Puerto Rico was incredibly success from Puerto Rico was actually our toughest one of all because it's an island, so you just you can't truck things onto and everything by boat. We moved to hospital into Puerto Rico, a

commendous military hospital in the form of a ship. You know that Puerto Rico got hit not with one hurricane but with two. And the problem with Puerto Rico is their electric grid and their electric generating plan was dead before the storm's ever hit. The job that TEMA and law enforcement and everybody did, working along with the governor in Puerto Rico, I think was tremendous. I think the Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success. Now they're jumping

all over him for this, right. They are the media there in a meltdown over there. They even got the all the mayor of San Juan to come out to trash drump plate too. Well. I think the person of statement is despicable. It just goes to the lack of understanding of reality that he has. If he thinks that the dead of three thousand people is the best, he really doesn't know what this was all about. This was never about politics. He's talking about on plaise Well, you know,

nobody's singing his places, folks. I can't always tell with the Left whether we're dealing with an idiot or a liar, but all too often these days it's one, if not both of those things. When President Trump says that Puerto Rico is an incredible, unsung success, he's not saying the storm was a success. He's not saying, look at how

great everything is in Puerto Rico. What he's trying to convey to the American people is that the federal response, under the circumstances, dealing with the limitations of reality, was very very effective. I mean, this to me would be like saying, well, how dare anybody say that the UH that that nine eleven, that the cleanup effort there was you know, a really really really really successful. You know,

the cleanup effort didn't save any lives. You know that the clean up effort didn't stop the towers from coming down. Well no, but it's a terrible situation, and we we got we got attacked, a sneak attack by Jihada psychopaths skill three thousand Americans. But the response to that, afterwards, you can still say that the response to UH to deal with the debris to clean up the site to you know, was was well done by the federal government. You know, the these are these are kind of two

separate things that you can refer to. With Puerto Rico, he's not saying the hurricane was an unsung success. He's saying the response to it, under the circumstances, which were incredibly difficult, was a very good response. It doesn't mean it's perfect, it doesn't mean it's not terribly sad that thousands of people died. He's just saying, we we did, under the circumstances, the best that could be done. And

the left, of course, you know, they deny this. They shout him down for this, and they want us that he's an unfeeling brute and evil and in all the rest of him because folks, you know, we talked about everything is political now, even whether is very political to the left. Not just climate change. They're gonna do that with this too, but response to natural disasters is an opportunity to score gee political points. Well, we'll get more into this and the media meltdown over it in a moment.

We've also got Joe Bus started joining to talk about uh some you know, his expert opinion on what we should expect here. So that and much more coming up, stay with me. The president's record on hurricane response uneven at best. A deadly hurricane in Puerto Rico almost exactly one year ago revealed that even natural disasters are processed

by this president as political undertaking. If we've been talking about how the President today called the hurricane response in Puerto Rico one of the best jobs that's ever been done, pointing to last year's response to Puerto Rico's hurricane as quote an incredible unsung success, as an incredible unsung success, he's still saying it was an incredible unsung success. Stories. So how out of touch as President Trump, far more so than President Bush. If he thinks that's an unparalleled success.

God only knows what he would think of father would be. You know, if the President thinks that his response in the federal government's response to Puerto Rico was an incredible success, and quite honestly, we're all in trouble. The statements by the President, let's be clear, are delusional and sensitive and outrageous. The only one who was lazy was you, Mr President. You were lazy and you weren't on duty. And people died because of it. Blaming Trump for the dead in

Puerto Rico. I'm doing so, by the way, while saying that, you know, Trump is the one who politicizes hurricanes and hurricane believe. Isn't it astonishing? This is a reminder really of one of Obama's favorite tactics, which was Obama always took the position that the other side was political. He was just righteous and wise. You know, they have they've got politics. I've got solutions, the answers they do politics.

I don't do that. You know, Obama always had that approach, and it's it's really dishonest and obviously demeaning to the other side. Um, but you know, they go even beyond so. So there's a couple of layers here of how unfair they are to Trump on this whole issue. It's not just that they say that. And look, I would have used different language than Trump to describe what happened in Puerto Rico and in his efforts to try and get

Puerto Rico the aid that it needed. But you know, there's also this level of saying that Trump is the reason people died. I mean, that's just despicable. It's despicable to make that claim because there's no evidence for it. It's obviously a disgraceful thing to say. And they keep saying. In fact, Joe Crowley, who's the member of Congress, the kind of long time I'm big time Democrat from New

York who lost to Alexandra Occasio Cortes. Uh he he just explicitly says, you know, basically, Trump killed people play a teen. We failed our fellow citizens and fellow Americans in Puerto Rico. President Trump ignored the entire island, leaving people, quite frankly, to die. Um, this Republican the Congress failed to allocate the necessary funds to help rebuild and repair

the island, and I believe this was preventable. Now, you know, folks, I don't want to get too deep into this because I'd have to really dig into the numbers, but they're they're all Only sixty people were lost from the actual storm as it happened, So it was a very small number relatively speaking. You know, every life is precious and every death is a tragedy in the situation, I understand, but a very small number, relatively speaking, were killed from

the storm. It was the aftermath of the storm. We had this number now three thousand people, which of course is very similar to the very close to the number of those who were killed on the day of nine oleven,

not over a period of many, many months. But when you look at also how this is being UH tabulated, what they're doing is they're saying, well, the condition of the island was so deteriorated that the mortality rate when you took out the when when you when you you know, excluded the people that had left the island, the mortality rate of those who stayed behind was so significantly hired

at three thousand people died. But you know a lot of these cases people are that they're talking about, they died from, you know, diabetes, They died from a lack of of treatment for h retreatable diseases. I mean, and I just think it's I think it's a very strange thing to claim the President Trump is responsible for those debts. UM. I spoke to the delegate from from Puerto Rico about this.

I spoke to the UH the one person who represents Puerto Rican Congress, and she said, flatly, the federal government sent a lot of resources. The federal government was trying to help us. It was a really really bad situation. The storm was way worse than anything we had prepared for. That that's Trump's fault, now, you know, the folks. The thing you have to remember is that liberals see all of these different political stories in terms of cycles, right.

They see it as what worked before. That's why they get so excited about Woodward and Bernstein and Watergate and Trump and impeachment. They think they can bring that whole thing back. And they also view a real tipping point in the Bush administration as the as the Katrina moment that Bush had, and they think that they can replicate that with Trump and start to turn the Remember Bush after not eleven very much United Country behind him very proper.

There was really Katrina where you started to see a big shift in public opinion on George W. Bush. And they're hoping that the hurricane and Puerto Rico is an opportunity to do the same thing. So it's it's very it's very obviously political, very explicitly political from them. But I also think that it's it's it's dishonest on the facts.

There was a lot of aid and a lot of supplies that were in the at the ports and Puerto Rico that weren't able to make it into the interior of the island because there were basically no bridges and no roads and no power, and so we were sending stuff. But you know, people keep saying, oh, well, if it was the mainland, it would be uh in the mainland,

it would be such a better response. I mean, for one thing, you look at what happened with Katrina in New Orleans, and you know, I don't think that it's not like, oh something, you know, you look at what happened with Houston, even which wasn't on the same scale as Katrina in terms of lives lost, but obviously a tremendous amount of damage. Just because it's on the mainland doesn't mean that the federal government steps in and makes everything great and fix everything right away. And that's not

true either. So I think there's a lot of overstatement of how big the the differences between what you what you've seen on Puerto Rico on the island, and what happened what's happened to the mainland when there's been a major disaster response that has been needed in in the past. But it's just you know, this is bushlied babies died. Folks, remember that the Iraq War, that was the mantra love Bush. Bush Lied babies died. And now you know with Trump,

it's essentially Bush lied babies died in Puerto Rico. That's what they That's what they're trying to get going. As a mean, they're trying to create political advantage from this whole thing, even though none of them could tell me what was what was Trump supposed to do differently in

Puerto Rico? What was what was supposed to be his uh, you know, the action that he would have taken them would have stopped people from being unable to, you know, get the medical care they needed inside of Puerto Rico.

It was he supposed to send. Even more, they couldn't get the resources they were sending to the places they were needed in the island because of logistics problems, because the island was in such bad shape in the interior, because roads had been washed away, and because there was no power, and that obviously makes the entire response a

lot more difficult. But you know, instead of using this, you know, if they were really concerned with the lives lost and if they really wanted to make sure this would never happen again, or that not nothing like this would ever occur again. They would take the position that we need to do a thorough after action report on everything that happened here on the on the federal government's response, and come up with solutions. But they're not going to do that. At least that's not gonna get nearly the

same amount of attention and coverage. The primary focus here is in fact, bashing Trump. They're just gonna find a way to bash Trump in every way that they can. That's what they're trying to do. And it's it's gross, folks. We should we should be willing to say that. It's really disgusting. And they're saying the President United States is the reason that people died. In fact, he he has

blood on his hands. If you take Joe Crowley at his word, we're gonna talk about this hurricane with an expert in in a moment here, you know what you should do to prepare for it and uh and what what you should be expecting. I know we've got a lot of team buck in the Carolina's hopefully folks. If you are near the coast, you have heated evacuation orders. But even if you're just in the general vicinity of the southeastern coastal US, you should probably be prepared for

the really tough weather that's coming in. So why don't we We're gonna talk to an expert about this. Joe Best starting. We'll be with us in just a moment here, So stay there, team. Hurricane Florence is fast approaching. It's going to be here over the next forty eight hours, and they say it's about as big as they've seen coming to this country, and certainly to the east coast, as they've ever seen. We'll handle it. We're ready, We're able.

We've got the finest people I think anywhere in the world. FEMA and first responders are out there. They're going to stand through the danger of this storm. Get out of its way, don't play games with it. It's a big one, maybe as big as they've seen, and tremendous amounts of water. The storm will come, it will go. We want everybody to be safe. We're fully prepared, food, medical, everything you can imagine. We are ready. We love you all, We want you safe. Get out of the storm's way, be ready,

and God be with you. All right, So we've got a big storm heading for the country. You've no doubt seen some of the news coverage of this already. I wanted to bring on an expert who can tell us just what to expect and then also what some of the narratives will be. Where does the science meet the politics in the aftermath of all this we know that's likely to happen as well. We have Joe but starting with us now. He is the chief meteorologist of WeatherBell

dot com. Joe, great to have you back on the show. Well, it's great to be here, Buck. I always want the on. So what everyone says, a lot of flooding, high wind, big storm. What should people in the Carolinas. By the way, we've got a whole lot of folks listening in the Carolinas. What should they be expecting and what should they be ground? Well, uh, in that area from Cape Lookout probably down to about Georgetown, South Carolina, but centered really from the Grand Strand up

to Wilmington's and Cape Fear. This is going to be a siege. That's that's the word I'm using, because you're probably gonna have hurricane force winds that they're going to be impacting these areas for a couple of days around Cape Fear because this storm starts with the hurricane force winds later Tomorrow afternoon Tomorrow night, and it moves so slowly that Saturday morning there may still be hurricane force

winds around Cape Fear. So the rights filled beach and the constant pounding from the east, um with hurricane winds into the UH, the crescent shaped bay on Slow Bay and these areas. I I can't even describe what can happen here in these coastal communities. Um again, I don't I don't know that you're going to see winds by the time the storm gets there as high as let's

say Hurricane Hazel or Hurricane you go. But the slow movement, the tremendous amount of rain, and plus the path of the storm, which will be UH down the coast instead of coming up the coast, it's going back to the southwest. It's blocked by a big upper ridge of high pressure. Well, that's going to just compound the whole situation. And this

is a set it back on Saturday. This is probably going to be the costliest storm and the history of the Carolinas, and that includes some great great storms like Hugo and Hazel and Isabel and Diane, and they have a a storied past as far as major hurricanes go in this area. And Joe, you know, for for folks who are wondering about preparation, especially for along the coast, when we're talking storm surge here, what does that really mean? I mean, how does that manifest? How bad can that get?

How long can that last? Well, let's say you have a ten to fifty ft surge. That's the that's the water level, how high the water level will actually rise. That's not the waves on top of the water level. I mean, we've got reports of seventy ft waves with this off shore, so uh and the uh you know, even these communities like New Berne and Greenville, UH that

are north on Pamlico Sound. The combination of the heavy rain coming down the river and then the constantist wind pushing the sound back in there, all those areas get flooded too. So you you know, you cannot you cannot possibly overestimate what this could do. In other words, if you folks are in there and you're thinking, well, you know what, I'm gonna ride this out on ten fifty ft above sea level, and I go out go out

power a couple of days. No, No, well, you're you're probably going to go out power a couple of weeks. You're gonna have a couple of days when the wind is incessantly pounding away at you. So it's not like, you know, if you want to compare a regular storm Isabelle or you Go or Floyd, they moved through very quickly. There's three to six hours of you know, the crescendo, very strong winds, and then it dies down and the sun comes out and that's that. The next day you

can start cleaning up. That's not going to be the case here now. Joe, Inevitably, and we're speaking of Joba Start, a chief meteorologist at WeatherBell dot com. Inevitably this happens. There's gonna be a lot of damage done. We know this. Hopefully there'll be no loss of life, but there'll be a lot of damage done, and people are going to jump right on the oh, it's because of climate change and wagon There'll be editorials about it, there'll be people

going on TV talking about it. What is your you know, can't lose argument for folks out there that that that they will be able to replicate and repeat about can we just stop saying every time there's a really bad weather incident or any natural disaster, really these days it's climate change? Well why is why has firstance the last fifty years, The amount of major hurricanes hitting the eastern hit in the United States is only thirty seven percent of the amount of major hurricanes that hit in the

previous fifty years. That's the first thing as far as this storm goes. Why where were these people in August third, where I quite publicly declared that a three week hurricane for it was going to come in in September two, said that this was going to come back here when it was recurvery. I don't see these people showing up way before and giving us any reasons for why this is happening. In other words, I said, it up with nature and what nature has done in the laws of

meteorology and physics and climatology. And all they do is sit back and wait until something happens. And you know what answer don't they own it? Could it could snow cheese in New York City and they'll say it's climate change. And and unfortunately, you know, you get what you deserve.

You report yourself if if we're going to have a gullible public that won't take the time to actually look and understand what has happened in the weather history of this country and of the planet, then you know they're going to fall for it. And um and these people know it. They could care less whether their reason is right. Now, not all of them, Okay. I know a lot of climate scientists. I know some on the other side of

the issue, where I respect, I understand their argument. I look at their arguments less I see what you're saying. But I think you're there's much too much attribution to see as opposed to the big name. You start looking about some of the journalists that are coming out and saying what they're saying, And I mean I was watching some interviews and listening to some interviews and I literally couldn't watch it. And again, folks, uh, look at the past.

I give the example. Hurricane Gloria was in this area, Okay, two weeks later, ten days later at the northeast on September. How come Gloria was stronger than this storm, a lot stronger. How come this ten or fifteen storms that have been stronger than than this storm in the southwest Atlantic. Is this going to be the strongest storm ever to hit the Carolines? And even if it was the strongest storm, what makes you think that nature couldn't do that anyway?

If it produced something in nineteen fifty, why can't you produce something That's a fair point. Joe, Joe, Joe by starting everybody, Chief meteorologist at weather bell dot com. Check at weather bell dot com for more. Joe, really appreciate you joining us team. We've got much more to stay with us. This is what life looks like. I guess

one overheated planet. The important point with all of this over is that you know, climate change didn't cause the hurricanes or the typhoons, but they made them worse because this is a natural disaster, which is a potentially a man made catastrophe because of the choices we've maked right and in what we're doing is interfering with the way

the jet stream operates. I mean, the jet stream is the current of air that actually goes from west to east, and that's why flights going west to east take a lot less time than going east to west here in the States. Normally, that jet stream would push a lot of these storms back out into the open ocean. But now the jet streams up further north than it was before, and that's because the tropical regions are actually expanding. It's a man made catastrophe, that's right, man made. It's a hurricane.

But we made it. No, we didn't, mate, We did not make the hurricane is not a mad man made catastrophe. Uh. You know, we we had that. Uh we we pulled that right in the in the break. Actually, as I said producer Mike, there's got to be he said, oh, there CNN blaming this on time and change. You know there is. It's so easy to find it right away. And I know that weather is a tough thing for news organizations to handle in some respects. What I mean by that is everybody wants to know what's going on

with the weather. Not a lot of people have intelligent things to say about the weather, and so much of the seven cable news cycle is speculation, as we've discussed earlier in the week, and analysis, which is generally just speculation dressed up as something else. And so they end up doing this whole climate change dance because they're trying

to fill time. They're trying to make it compelling. And and here's the part of this that I've realized from my time in dealing with the the mainstream media such as it is. There are some who are true believers and all this stuff. There there are some who are very much dedicated to the notion that climate change is a national security threat, is the reason for all of

this uh. And they don't think that what they're doing is just providing these unfalsifiable uh notions of of what is going on with climate change, right, I mean when they say things like it doesn't cause the storm, but it makes the storm worse, how could you ever prove

that or disprove it? More more importantly, how you know? Remember, folks, when some of you have asked me on this show, how what what's a good way to argue with a really indoctrinated liberal, I say, start from the premise of how do you disprove what it is that they believe? What would you have to provide them that would make them at least rethink what they believe in terms of evidence? And with a lot of these things, they will tell you they won't actually have an answer, They'll just get angry.

And because that's what happens when you challenge belief instead of challenging rational thought and challenging people based on facts and verifiable and form. And so there are some people in this media climate change apparatus who are of the mind that this is real that, but I think there's

also just a lot of opportunism here, right. A big portion of this is really just people that realize at CNN and elsewhere that they have an audience that wants to hear the the audience wants to hear about how climate change has caused all this. That they want to believe that there is a you know, a bad guy here, and and really that the bad guy is in fact the right. The bad guy is conservatism, the bad guy

is oil companies, you know, all these. So it's a it's a great way to get the left excided because they immediately, uh, they immediately get to attack a number of targets that they really dislike and and and they're the on the righteous high ground here while all the people that are saying, a hold on a second, your your climate change views are nonsensical, and I really mean that that they don't hold up that they can't be sustained based upon never mind the facts which is based

upon an analysis, based upon logic. They get very very angry. I remember once I was on and I made some joke about how about how you know, maybe if we use I was on CNN and I said, maybe if we use fewer aerosol cans, you know, and don't put a hole in the ozone, then liberals will calm down. It was something like that, but it was it was

it was a joke. I mean, I was taking obviously taking a shot at the climate change mania and on all the which I know that's about CEO two and it's a different process and the ozone, but the point is, you know it used to be the hole ne ozone, now it's CEO two emissions is. People keep coming up with different versions of of of the same basic premise, which is that mankind is polluting the world by being mankind.

Nd uh, and we're destroying the planet and only the righteous among us who believe in hashtag science, not science, but hashtag science can save it. And remember I got some I can't remember if it was via Twitter or it was an email that someone who was from some climate change think tank in DC wrote this, you know, how dare you weigh in on a subject of science

that like you couldn't even begin to understand. And I think I responded the guy, you know, I just checked out your bio and you're not a scientist, you're a pr flak. So but see this is this is what I mean by it doesn't It doesn't matter what the situation is, what you say to them, no matter how foolish they look. They have such an incentive to push this hysteria. There's so many people whose careers depend on this and who have really who have built followings based

on the notion of climate change. And I also note that someone like President Obama, I refuse to believe that you are really that free thinking and and quite honestly wise, I think it is impossible to be intellectually brilliant and and also have good judgment and believe in climate change. I don't think you can have those two. That you can be really, really smart, but you can't be really

smart and have good judgment. Uh, if you believe in climate change as a function of or as something that's going to destroy the planet, as something that's going to end human life unless we take dramatic action, you know, this is where they as good Joel you staying climate

change is not really it's such a stupid argument. We keep running around in circles with it because they're just hoping to denigrate the people that are pointing out that their ideas don't make any sense here, that there's no there there, that there's not any there's not any means to disprove their theories, and that they're really impervious to evidence. By the way, eighty foot tall wave, I just gotta think, John, I mean, can you imagine actually being out of the

ocean and seeing an eighty foot tall wave? That to me, uh wow, it reminds me of the final scene of Point Break actually, where body decides that he's going to go out on a on a wave by um uh by pushing forward and and even though it's a you know, a hundred a hundred foot wave or something, he's gonna go out there and do that. So anyway, it reminds me the at a Point Break eight ft wave be terrifying.

Or also, what's the movie, John, what's the movie where the they're out there in the in the boat and they just get caught Oh the perfect storm, right, the perfect storm. That's yeah, that's pretty straight. I thought that move. I mean, there's some cool c g I, but I don't know. It's kind of a story without much of a plot. It's like they're in a they're in a boat, they're in a big storm. Did you like it? I know it's based on a true story, but I didn't

find the story all that all that compelling. I thought it was as these things go. I thought it was you know, it was all right, it was all right. What's your favorite? Do you like Twister? I think you haven't seen Twister. Twister is pretty good. It's Bill Paxson, rested r I p Bill Paxson. By the way, Uh, it's Bill Paxxton and Helen Hunt. I was gonna say, Laura Dern. I always get those two confused. Twister is

pretty Twist is pretty good movie.

This is

the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts. Buck Sexton. No, don't forget, folks, how much the Democrats are in a panic about the Kavanaugh nomination. They haven't. They haven't let up on this one. In fact, they came up today with a a somewhat novel approach to trying to pressure UH Senator Collins from voting in favor of Kavanaugh. This group has done a crowdfunding campaign that will that has raised a million dollars and they will donate it to Collins's opponent in Senate

opponent if she votes in favor of Kavanaugh. Now, I would just say, if you think that money determines elections, go talk to the Jeb Jeb exclamation, Jeb dr the Jeb Bush team about that where I think they spent something like a hundred million dollars to it an electoral college vote and not not exactly lighten the world on fire with their amazing nous there, but this is clearly a you know, a new way of trying to put additional pressure on the senator from Maine to castor vote

against Kavanaugh. Remember, they only need a couple of defections and this and this will actually work. You know. Democrats have already been trying this tactic of of just delay, delay, and and hope for the best. Try to slow that, slow down the process, call for an adjournment of the process. Say they need more time in the process. I mean that they're really doing everything and just just seeing what

they can get to stick against the wall. Here they submitted I just saw this today, dred and seventy eight questions for the record for Kavanaugh, more than the total number this, according to Chuck Grassley, more than the total number ever submitted since the Senate started testimony for Scotus Pis. Democrats folks have put forward more questions for Cavana than all the questions combined for all of the previous Supreme Court nominees that went before the Senate, according to Chuck Rasley.

And they say it's not enough, they don't have the documents, not enough, there needs more study. Whoa um. So as you know, they're they're in hysterics, they're lying, they don't care about what's true. Here. They don't care about what um is, what is what is reality when it comes to Cavinal, which is that he's an incredibly qualified guy. He is as mainstream a geopier as you are going to or rather as mainstream a A constitutional conservatives. I'm

sure he's GOP two. Let's why don't you pretend like Supreme Court justices don't have politics. It's it's laughable, it's a nonsensical idea. But he's a perfect candidate for the court. We all know that. You know that, I know that. But the opposition to him is truly desperate and depraved. And that's why when when you look at the different

things they're trying. All right, I get it right. They don't have they don't have a leg to stand on in terms of his resume, they don't have a leg to stand on in terms of, you know, what his um abilities are. So they're trying to find anything that they anything that they can and that's where we got this idea that I had to deal with last week when we had the Women's march, like co President or whatever they whatever they call her, Bob Blandon, who was

really worried about her. But it's really a hysterical person, and not not in the haha funny way, but somebody who's worries me about her her stability based on the conversation that we had, you know, thinks that things that Kavanaugh is going to result in millions of women dying. That's that's a that's like pink elephants flying around the

room level crazy. That's not normal. But one of the big opposition points to Kavanaugh has been that recently, um, they're saying that it's you know that he said that abortion inducing drugs are the same as birth control, that birth control pills are abortion inducing drugs. And I you know, I didn't sit through all three days of the hearings or whatever it was was countless hours. I watched a lot of it, but not all of it, so I

couldn't know exactly what he said. But I knew that he wouldn't say that, because nobody that I know takes that position. People oppose birth control on on religious and ethical grounds, but they don't say that birth control is abortion. That's not true. I don't know anybody who says that that preventing conception is the same thing thing from terminating conception, which means terminating life. That would be illogical, that that

doesn't actually make any sense. Um, And you would think that this would just be a tactic that the activists and the dishonest left would engage in as as a as a clear smear tactic. But you know, this is not on something that you would have to worry about beyond that, meaning that that it wouldn't get to the level of oh, well, some of the biggest voices in the Democratic Party would echo this just blatantly false claim

that Kavanaugh said that birth control pills are abortion inducing drugs. Uh. This claim, by the way, has already been looked at by PolitiFact. They well, I know that these these are generally not organizations that you can just trust on this because they are they are political in their own ways. But just to keep in mind political PolitiFact referred to the claim that Kavanaugh says that it's abortion and Kamela hold On, I'll get there, that abortion inducing drugs and

birth control the same as false. The Washington Post has come out and said four pinocchios. I mean, this is pants on fire level falsehood. And yet despite all that, you have Kamela Harris, who is still thought of I think as a pre eminent Democrat for the election, I still think people think of her as probably the most the most likely presidential Canada, just by default right now.

And Kamala Harris tweeted out in eleven second clip in which Kavanaugh said filling out the form would make them complicit in the provision of abortion inducing drugs, that they were as a religious matter, objected, objected to um and then Kavanaugh. Uh, Kavanaugh chooses his words very carefully, and this is a dog whistle for going after birth control. Harris tweeted. He was nominated for the purpose of taking away at women's constitutionally protected right to make her own

health care decisions. Make no mistake, this is about punishing women. I mean, just just scare mongering and idiocy from Harris. But she's not alone. If there's a giant false so to be pedaled, if there's a huge lie to be foisted upon people, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton can be counted on, she writes on her Twitter account today, I want to be sure we're all clear about something that Brett Kavanaugh

said in his confirmation hearings last week. He referred to birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs that set off a lot of alarm bells for me, and it should for you too, folks. Not only did he not refer to birth control pills as abortion inducing drugs, he was referring to the position of a plaintiff in a case. So he was saying, this is what their position was,

and then said it. This would be like saying that, you know, you get me to say something, you know, I I I say the words you know, I'm I'm not a Republican, And I say, you know, I'm not a Republican. Who would say that about me? Guys, that's crazy. But then they just take out well Buck said he's not a Republican. Well, yeah, I was making a joke where I was referring to the fact that anybody says that about me doesn't know anything about me. Well, well

you said it, Buck Sexton's as not a Republican. I mean, this is the height of dishonesty. This isn't a little lie, This isn't a little exaggeration. Is a giant lie. Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, they are liars, according to the Washington Post, according to politic Fact, according to friendly media outlets that just know you can't justify this a lie and are a really important issue on a Supreme Court justice is honor and integrity and should or would be Supreme Court

justice should he be elevated to the bench. And these are people that want to lecturists, you know, Harris and Clinton about Trump's lies and about how we need to bring back honesty and decency and integrity and our politics and blah blah all that crap. But they're liars. Do you think Jake Tapper is gonna bring them on to see an end show and say, Hey, are you a liar? Because this is a lie? I don't think so guarantee you he won't. Guarantee you he won't. How do I

know that? Because I know the politics and I know who the frauds are. Do you think that matt Ow and the MSNB SEC we're gonna have them on and challenge him on this. Nope, because this lie is useful to the left and therefore they're okay with it. I will go and take Trump out tonight. I have thought

an awful lot about blowing up the White House. Of course, I want to punch him in a place, in a restaurant, in a department store, at the gasol station and back a limb and you tell them that gun please get up in the face of some congress people. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings of all of the country. Maybe there will be. I've come around the table and he's coming at me. So I grabbed him, threw him on the ground. His shirt got ripped, his

beer mug busted. I got off of him, and that's when he jumped out and pulled the knife out and said he's gonna kill me. You know, folks, we get a lot of lectures from the left about how they're violent rhetoric or the violent rhetoric rather of Donald Trump and the things that he says and and just the way that he talks is going to create violence, and that it's going to be on our heads. And you know,

we should be so concerned about this. We're always being told this right that the left is constantly uh pounding this theme of violence uh is the fault of Republicans because of because of the Donald Trump presidency, that's gonna be violence in the streets. Meanwhile, whenever there's actual violence to speak of, it seems much more likely than not that if it's ideologically motivated and has to do with

American politics. It comes from the left. The single most horrific incident of politically inspired violence in this country in recent memory involved a Bernie Sanders supporter in Alexandria, Virginia showing up to a baseball diamond where there was a Congressional baseball team practice going on, and who tried to kill a number of members of the Freedom Caucuse. I mean, he went after the most conservative members of Congress is and tried to engage in a mass assassination. And he

was a Bernie Sander supporter. He was a Democrat, all right. And that story just has you never hear it referenced by the media. It's fallen off the fallen off the radar entirely. You know, if it had been a guy in a maga hat uh and you know, wearing camo head to toe and us you know, a Second Amendment supporter and he had showed up there and tried to kill a bunch of Democrat members of Congress, we'd hear about this every week. I mean that there would be

memorials sprouting up all over the country. You know, there there'd be all kinds of stuff, and this is what This is what we see with the media bias and the way that it affects the conversation that's going on all the time. But you know, we have another another incident here where a guy named Farsan Fazel or Fazeli is accused of trying to attack a Republican congressional candidate

named Rudy Peters. You just heard from there with with a sound bite with a switchblade all right there there, This this guy went after a Republican congressional candidate at a festival in Castro Valley, UM and the man approach Rudy Peters, according to the l A Times here at his booth, made disparaging remarks and then you know, he pulled out a switchblade and tried to stab Peters, but

the knife malfunction and a struggle ensued. Folks, this guy basically tried to kill a Republican congressional candidate, try to stab him the death in in you know, broad daylight and view of other people. How many of you have even seen this story? How many of you have heard this story on the news. I'm guessing very few of you. And you know, this is the game that they always planning a lot. I'm not saying it gets no coverage. I'm saying it gets low coverage, meaning that this is

not viewed as indicative of anything. This is not viewed as a as a case that we all need to focus on because it tells us, you know, more about the re reality of contemporary American politics or something, right that this is just, oh, you know, just some crazy guy, some crazy guy that tried to stabber up a GOP Congretil Kennedy death with a knife. We all know this guy is a liberal, try to stab him, right, we all know that this is yet another case of somebody

with with the Trumps arrangement syndrome. Who at least that's based on the reporting. I've seen what we know. I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise. I don't think you knew this guy, you know, he says, and producer Mike, what's this other story about a a professor who because

of Trump? To tell me the backstory? And this one because you brought this one to my attention, Yeah, it says a long time at College of Southern Nevada socialogy professor, professor Um shot himself in the arm in protest of President Trump. And now he's facing a felony gun charges. He did it, Yeah, he did it on campus. Uh then the second day of classes. So as kind of the way you know that there were there were monks

during Vietnam we did self immolation to protest. You know, this guy is lighting him I mean this guy, he should not lighting himself fire. This guy is shooting himself in the arm with a shotgun to protest Trump. He's a college president who did this, and now he's now he's facing prison time for a felony gun charge. Mike, if we were trying to find a way to describe the symptoms of clinical Trump arrangement syndrome, could we do

a better job than this self harm? Yeah, as a form of of Trump opposition, as a form of criticism of Trump. I think this is about as clear as it gets. It's amazing. And and and there's been like three or four stories in the last twenty four to four eight hours of there's another story. Do you hear about d C. McAlister? No? Uh, she put out a tweet the other day about her um views on abortion, and she was threatened with rape and strangling and now

she had to go into hiding. That's an example. Another example is I think I saw this in either Daily Mail or Dai wire of a demp sessialist who who threatened a mass shooting at a MAGA event. You know, I just feel like MIKEA, this will happening. On the other side, we'd be here, We'd be hearing a lot more about it. You know, I can tell you this much.

Imagine the outcry if a Democrat congressional candidate had had somebody pull out a knife and try to stab them, and it was clear that it was a Trump supporter. We would not only would we be hearing of that everywhere, you would have every White House reporter asking the White House do you think that do you think that you're the President Trump's rhetoric? You know, Sarah Sanders, you think President Trump's rhetoric is the reason for this? You know,

do you do you denounce violence? I mean, they would try to tie it to the administration right away. You're seeing none of that with the crazy left wing opposition. And that's why we played some of those sound bites coming in of people saying crazy violent stuff about this administration. And they still think that that we're the bad guys. You know, they think we're the ones destroying democracy and

we're the ones who are are promoting violence over politics. Meanwhile, if you look at the data and what's really happening, it's the deranged left that's that's they're they're the dangerous ones. I mean that, I think this that's gonna be anny more clear and shoot yourself in the arm to protest Trump. Can I reach you that? The tweet real quick from the anonymous Twitter account about this at this MAGA event. Yeah,

of course from the Democrats socialist a far left flickle group. Um, it says I am coming with a gun and I expect to get numerous blood stained MAGA hats as trophies. Oh my god, Yes, what a maniac. They have this s guy in custody. Ality, well, I don't the police, says. Police responded to the Trump International Hotel where the event was taking place. Um, I didn't see if they had anybody in custody yet. All right. I mean, you know, Twitter is really bad, by the way about sharing information

about people that are that are violent threats and stuff. Twitter. Twitter gets very cage. You know, they'll ban you for having like too ardent a pro life stance, but they you know, if you're threatening to kill somebody and like rape their whole family, Twitter to you know, if you're a conservative, Twitter doesn't really take take action. I think

Twitter should have a here here's something. I think Twitter should have a policy where if you are are really threatening violence against somebody and you know, and you get you get warned, you don't stop, they should just out the person. They should say this is their IP address. That would shut it down. Real fat Twitter can do that. They're a private company. They they're under no obligation to protect the nabor. I think the same the true for

all these social media companies. They're under no obligation to protect the anonymity of somebody that's clearly a menace. You know, people who are stalkers, harassers, threatening violence. You know that the terrible stuff that you see by the way they tend, and a lot of it comes from lat not all. Unfortunately, I've had some friends who are you know, who are never trumpers, who have also been the targets of some really horrific stuff, which is which is a shame it

should never happen. But I think social media companies are just out people that are that are a menace. On social media. You know, if you're if you're gonna if you're not gonna put your name to it, but you think you're gonna use these things as a weapon to go after people. I think they should put a stop to that.

Do you get the discussion rolling Norm McDonald? You guys remember him, the comedian. I'll be honestly, I never thought he was all that funny. Some people love him. I know people that think that Norm McDonald is a genius. I was never much of a fan. But he is not even really,

I don't. I don't think people say he's a conservative. He is just irreverent. He's a comedian. Oh my gosh, he's a comedian. He doesn't play to what all the expectations are of political correctness. Uh. Norm McDonald's gotten into some trouble folks, and the Tonight Show has canceled him in response to to his comments. Let me let me bring you into this story. Another moment of me to backlash. Not that Norm McDonald did any to any lady you. No, no, no,

he's not. It's just his comments about me too got him into trouble, right, So he's kind of me too, collateral damage or you know, he's me too secondary damage here. He didn't do anything to any woman. Um. He said, he supports me too. But then he went on to say, according to the Hollywood Reporter, first of all, he said, I'm completely behind them me too movement. Um. But he had said that comments earlier on about uh, Roseanne Bar and Louis c K. That's what got him in trouble.

He said, essentially, you know, Roseanne Barr was crying constantly after what happened to her, and her life was ruined. And Louis c K, you know, he was shunned from the public square, and you know he was ruined. And he said something like quote, the victims didn't have to go through that now in the in the Roseanne bar situation, I mean, the victor dooms are just people that have

heard a racist comment. I have to say, I don't know if Roseanne is in fact so out of it that she would have said what she said, not realizing that Valerie Jarrett was African American. That was later on her her um not excuse, but her at least mitigation, She said she wasn't that she wasn't making a racist slur about Valerie Jarrett because she didn't know Valeri Jarret was African American. Is Roseanne bar obtuse enough to really

for that to be true? I mean maybe, But nonetheless it was something that was a very it was a very very stupid thing to say. Um, but Norm McDonald essentially said, look, I'm all about me too, but people need to understand the uh, the reality here of what happens to people who get caught in some of this. And Roseanne is not a me too thing, by the way, I don't know what she's kind of getting. It's really

just political correctness. I mean, me too shouldn't be used as a as a cudgel beyond the realm of men who are sexually harassing women, right, me too shouldn't just be anything. But it's it's going it is becoming that, you know, now, any political correctness, any marginalized group that feels like they've you know, they've been in some ways undermined or you know, treated poorly by public comments, they claim that the me too mental as well, because this

is for brand purposes, for advertisers and sponsors. All this me too stuff is very powerful. But so Norm McDonald says, hey, you know, Lucy kay and Roseanne, you know, just you know, they didn't kill anybody, and their lives were ruined over this stuff. Uh. And Norm McDonald got the hammer dropped on him as a result of this. He got pushed out of his very publicly from his Tonight Show appearance. And he's got a new series coming out on Netflix. So he was trying to um, you know, he he

was trying to promote that. That's why I was going to go on it. And you know, this is just another example, your folks, of how you've got to be so careful. Here's a comedian who's trying to have a somewhat nuanced conversation about, you know, the impact of this movement and what it means and and really what it just means is we're in a period of heightened of heightened sensitivity to something which we all know will be

exploited by some people in some ways. One of the most interesting, one of the most reviewing exchanges I had with Alissa Milano, who is kind of the me Too movement founder or as a founder, considered a founder of the me too movement, even though she's never shared her own story about her her me too uh you know backstory, Well, she brought up a Z's on Sorry. Some of you know as he's on Sorry from the show Parks and Wreck. Right. He's a funny guy. He's a you know, American but

of Indian parentage. And you know, he had some young woman who's a photographer who you know clearly had some kind of celebrity crush on him based on the story that I read, and they went out on a date, and you know, they just jumped right into, right into a highly sexualized encounter. And she essentially wrote a you he's icky and I don't like him, and he was being kind of gross. Uh tell all about this what was essentially a one night stand. And people were saying, well,

that's me too. And I was sitting here and I'm saying, well, no, it's not you know, maybe he's kind of being a creepy guy, but it wasn't me too. He didn't force her, he didn't abuse her, he didn't use his position of power. But a LISTA and A Lissa Milano's view apparently, oh no, because he's a celebrity and leverage that to gain greater you know, sexual access by her with her consent. But to this this young woman, you know, that's kind of meat I don't know whoa that's I don't think of

that as me to it all. So there are these these areas of it where it crosses into hold on a second, is that that's now covered? You know, is an unwanted attempt at at kissing a woman, uh in the workplace or not in the workplace. I mean, it's assuming she doesn't work for you, she's not your employee. But you know, if you have a colleague, that's a me tooth thing. Now. I mean you start to wonder where are some of these lines? Uh? And I think

we do draw them in very different places. But Norm McDonald was trying to have that conversation and he got into all He got in all kinds of trouble because of it, because people don't they don't want to hear it. They don't want to hear that there's any any concern here. They don't want to hear about um. How you know, maybe there's some people that are going to abuse this for their own purposes. You better stay, you better just uh better be somebody who tows the line on this,

or else you're gonna be in a world of trouble. Um. And I'm trying to find there was one quote He's essentially repeating what I've said many times before to all of you, and I'm trying. It's I'm losing darn Itt buck. Oh here it is, here, it is. I found it. Um. He said that, Uh, the the model used to be here we go. The model used to be admit wrongdoing, show complete contrition, and then we give you a second chance. Now it's admit wrongdoing and you're finished. And so the

only way to survive is to deny, deny, deny. That's not healthy, that there is no forgiveness. And I do think at some point that it adds to our uh tribal ism um or this contributes to why every and so tribalistic. Absolutely true from Norm McDonald, the verious dute observation. This is the real change, folks. This is what's so different now is that you have a situation where you know, any time you get caught up, now, any time you have transgressed, he if you admit it, there's no upside.

You're just going to be chased out of the public square. You're gonna be told that your your career is over. You are no longer entitled to any kind of uh second chance or opportunity to rebuild your career. Oh no, what's gonna happen is they're going to use your confession. It's like it's like an inquisition, right, They're gonna use your confession against you. And that is new. That is no. I remember, I'm trying to think of some examples where you you know, I remember Alec Baldwin back in the

day saying, uh, kind of an anti gay slur. And I remember the Jonah Hill, the kind of pudgy comedy actor guy. He he did the same. And you see people and they'd make this apology tour and they kind of go around on all the shows they go on, you know, the daytime talk shows, they go on Ellen and go on Oprah, they go and you know, oh, I'm so sorry and that's not who I am. And they kind of lay low for a few weeks and

then everybody would let it go. And I feel thought that that that process of just the public humiliation, uh, that jets you have to go through as part of the penance for a politically correct trans transgression. Right, I'm talking to people that have actually assaulted people, are in done criminal stuff. I mean, you just say the wrong thing, and you gotta go out there and do the whole apology to our situation. You know, I thought that was

bad enough. Now it's worse than that, because you're supposed to do the apology tour and then at the and then you're you're you're still completely out. You know, you're you're no longer somebody that anybody can talk to or give jobs to, or trust or anything. So so Norm McDonald is is the latest to uh, to get caught up in this one. Sure enough. He's here's a comedian, folks, who's supposed to be pushing boundaries and and uh, he's supposed to be trying to not just make us laugh

and make us think about things. I mean, comedy is a very powerful for satire. He's in incredibly potent way of of dealing with political issues, dealing with social issues, and a really really necessary one, you know. I mean, I think to really be in a free society, you have to be able to make fun of things that are considered sacred. I do think that's a pretty fundamental freedom and and for and he wasn't even trying to

make fun of anything. He was just trying to talk about the culture here here's a comedian talking about the culture of intolerance for people saying anything intolerant, and he gets nailed for saying something intolerant. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. He's just you know, he's just trying to, uh, trying to add to the discourse in his own way, and he ends up paying paying the penalty for it. And I just think it's a shame. I mean, you know, this is why, this is why

comedians these days, by the way, aren't funny. You can't be funny. You gotta be Kathy Griffin. You've got to do this terrible thing. She this terrible stunt. She polled by, you know, having the the Trump's evered head and then cashing in on that and going around and giving a tour all over the world where she's just not funny. She's like a neurotic, annoying, stupid, crazy person who says things about politics that are kind of in joke form,

but they're not funny. It's not clever, it's not amusing. And you see this with so many communities and why

I'm saying the left is killed comedy. The left has made comedy, uh at least an endangered species if not extinct, because if you are always gonna be under threat of having your career ended, if you if you say anything that that offends certain groups, you know, you're you're you're never gonna be able to push any boundaries and do things that are unexpected and that really make people think. So it's just it's just a shame, it really is. By the way, the I see this other guy, another

guy got caught up in the me too. Uh producer Mike what's his name? The sixty minutes guy? Do you know talking about all right, a senior a senior executive at at sixty minutes, the hallowed News, Uh, you know journalism show. Well, we'll talk about this in just a moment. But but he's out now, folks, I was talking to you about somebody who got caught up in a in a me too discussion moment, right, didn't actually do to

me too, but you had Norm McDonald. I was being a little hard on before he's done some funny stuff. I guess I've never seen his stand up, to be fair, I just have seen him on on SNL. And but but Norm McDonald talking about Roseanne and uh and Louis c K. You know, he got himself into trouble. But that doesn't you know, that that shouldn't take away with the fact that this whole, this period of of outing these really gross, predatory uh media executives, has been very clarifying.

I mean, I think there's a lot of a lot of good that's come from all this, you know. I think it's a very good thing that people know the truth about Charlie Rose, people know the truth about um,

you know, go go down, go down. The list of all these different People'm actually forgetting the name of the guy who's the super overpaid more you know, UH Today's show guy, Uh, Matt Lower, you know, Matt Lower and and Charlie Rose and and certainly some of them cross over into the truly criminal area with people like Harvey Weinstein. But another one is out at at sixty minutes CBS sixty minutes. His name is Jeff Fager, and this I

just thought this was pretty fascinating. So there were all these allegations printed about Fager, and again he's a very powerful news executive, and the news business folks is so ripe for this kind of abuse. I see it all the time. You have old, generally unattractive socially awkward men

in positions of executive authority. Alright, a lot of that going on, and you have an influx of lots and lots of very attractive women, because in this business that is a major advantage, right, I know, I don't know if it feels weird to even say that, Oh, to be pretty and to be on TV, it's it's an advantage, but it's true. And and a lot of these guys try to leverage their positions into you know, into ah entree.

It's a very euphemistic way of saying it, with these women, right, of getting access to these women, you know, sexually in one way or another. Uh. And this guy Fager, what was the subject of one of these one of these profiles in the I think it was in the New Yorker, right, Um, And the part of this guy was the executive producer, Wow, executive producer of sixty minutes. Um. That's a that's a that's a pretty big job. So he's out now. And and this is what he said, though this is his

statement quote. The company's decision had nothing to do with the false allegations printed in the New Yorker. Instead, they terminated my contract early because I sent a text message to one of her own CBS reporters demanding that she be fair are in covering the story. My language was harsh, and despite the fact that journalists received harsh demands for fairness all the time, CBS did not like it. One such note should not result in termination after thirty six years,

but it did. Wow, this guy was there for thirty six This guy's been at CBS as long as I've been alive. That is that is quite Ah. I can't imagine being thirty six years anywhere. I can't imagine being alive thirty six years. It still feels like forever to me. But here we are with this guy saying that essentially he sent a nasty text message and that was why he was fired. Folks, I just don't find this this

credible at all. Uh. My guess is that this was the pretext that they you know, that that this text message was enough to not renew his contract and push him out now because that's easier for them than to have to go through the whole Oh you know, is is he guilty of these different accusations? And I see some journalists, uh, this one journalist from New York magazine wrote, quote a victory the women who have lived under Fager's tyranny for years. A truly horrible, nasty human being. That's yes,

shar Ali at New York Magazine. Uh. You know these So you've got Jeff Fager, um, uh what's his what the guy from uh gosh, I'm Les Moonvez another one. I mean you start to wonder how many really powerful liberal By the way, folks Democrats, these are all fo B's and fo Hills, friends of friends of Bill and friends of Hill, Hillary Clinton, these are friends of Barack Obama. These are all big libs in the media. You need

to remember that because they won't focus on it. Fager, uh, Moon Vez, Weinstein, Charlie Rose, Matt Lower Liberal, Liberal Liberal, all these guys are huge libs. Uh. And and you know they when when Fox was having its trouble with some of its own sexual misconduct that had gone on there, all these outlets just piled on and and now you're seeing that that that the very top of these places

is just rotted with sexual harassers and predators. So it's interesting to see how this plays out, will continue play out. We've got big our three coming up. Team Stay with me.

Buck Sexton Mission Decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. You're a great American again, this is the Buck Sexton show. CIA analysts. No, so many leaks, so little time. Team.

We know that the deep statards over d o J and FBI have been busy for a long time trying to stack the deck in their favor in terms of public opinion when it comes to Russia collusion stuff, when it comes to the fises on Carter Page. We've got somebody now who's doing the work of actually getting to the ruth on all this stuff. We have Lee Smith with us now. He is a an investigative reporter for

Real Clear investigations. He's got a really strong piece up called Decoding the Drips of Leak upon Anti Trump Leak. It is on Real Clear Politics right now. Lead. Great to have you back. Thanks very much for having me, Buck. It's always trific to do with you. All right, So let's talk about this, my friend. We we got we got leaks coming out the text messages earlier in this week between Struck and Page talk about a leak strategy.

I got people saying, oh no, it's a leak strategy for how to deal with the bad, naughty media leaks. I'm like, well, I was in the CIA. We we had a pretty well understood league strategy, which is don't leak. So that's my first reaction, But you've actually dug into the details here. What do we need to know about what these FBI, d o J folks were doing, how

they were leaking, who they were leaking to. Yeah, the way that I'm the way that I'm trying to describe it now, that's kind of sort of like a you can best understand it in terms of a football game now the new football season opening up. Maybe that's the best way to understand it. I think that after UM, after Trump won the White House, what we see is a very active campaign of leaks, an attacking campaign of leaks, UM prosecuting a campaign against Trump that are trying to

hurt different Trump team officials. They knock Flynn out, the sideline sessions, they damage other people. The larger strategic gain is that they have the the Trump team in chaos trying to establish their agenda. They can't because they're always They're playing defense the entire time, defending against these accusations

of Russia collusion and all this nonsense. At a certain point, about a year into the administration, UM House oversight committees start pushing back and that way the team Collusion is put on the defensive. So what we're seeing now also, you know a lot of a lot of Obama holdovers and never Trump Republicans leave start to leave the administration. Remember all the different people who've left FBI and d o J. So there are actually less people, less people

who have access to classify intelligence to leak. And also again the House Oversight committees are now pushing back. They're seeing the bad things that the FBI and d o J and other figures did to damage and dirty the Trump campaign. So that's how I see the momentum changing.

And the really the really big moment is when the House Oversight House Oversight Committees discover that it was their pressure they pressured um, they pressured Fusion into releasing the fact that or leaking the fact that they had been funded by the Clinton campaign and d n C. And that's in October two seventeen. So that's a key turning point right there. Now out they're saying, of course that

that everything was by the book. I mean, I'm kind of amazingly that this that this this approach continues from from people that are supportive as we know, this is all about getting Trump right. I mean, the people that are generally very anti law enforcement, all of a sudden are running around and acting like, you know, the FBI can do no wrong and the d o the d o J, which you know under Republican administration is all

about the patriarchy, the power structure and discrimination. Now the d o J is blameless that the d o J is beyond reproach. We know it's all about politics, But you know, what's it gonna take before they no longer are able to play this game of yeah you know everything. I mean, Struck got fired. We have text messages between between him and Page saying one they're gonna stop Trump to uh from this week, saying that they need a leak strategy. You know, is do you see a smoking

gun that is kind of out there? You just haven't gotten it yet. I mean, is what's it going to take this? I mean, I think that one of the things we're looking at right now. I mentioned my article a couple of these recent pieces in the New York Times about FBI and CIA operations against against Russia. Both pieces I find pretty implausible. But the important thing about these I think these stories were crafted partly using classified intelligence also depending an awful lot on fiction, uh, a

creative imagination. Um. And the purpose of these is to push back to try to deter Trump from de classifying the documents that congressional Republicans are asking for right now, and should Trump the classify those documents, as I believe, we all hope he did. We all hope that he does for the I'm hearing as soon as next week for my people, by the way, So yeah, that that would be that that, Thank goodness. I hope it does happen then. Um, But that's what I think they're trying

to do. I think they're trying to push back on that, and they're trying to shave a more positive environment, um with these different leagues and these different stories coming out now. So we if that does happen next week, but that would be fantastic. I think then we're We've gone a long way towards clarifying a lot of the bad stuff that's gone on the last two years here. Now. I gotta say, there have been leaks that we know of in the press that almost certainly come from classified information.

Right you had the leak about General Flynn's phone call. You know, nobody could that that's gonna be classified. I mean, and he got in trouble for it. So we know that was classified. Somebody leaked at and and Flynn got jammed up as a result of it. We have not seen and I think it's so interesting. Under the Obama administration, classified leaks were I would say over zealously prosecuted. I

mean they they were. They were doing everything. They were pulling phone records of journalists, they were threatening to put journalists under oath throughout sources. In fact, they they did do well, they took that right to the edge and then they've done it out of prison anyway. Uh. But

all that was going on. Meanwhile, Lee, we have nobody getting sent to prison that I know of right now for a classified leak, with the exception of one senates uh Senate to Select Committee on Intelligence staffer who's been charged. But that's it. Well, but they haven't even charged him for leaking classified intelligence though it appears he did. They

have him for lying to the FBI. So while Attorney General's Session says that they're twenty seven open leak investigations, including what I've heard people call the Granddaddy of the mall is as you said, the leak of the Flynn conversation with the Russian ambassador. Um, as far as I know, look A the d o J maybe investigating all of them, or um John Huber, the you know, the prosecutor and

UTAH maybe investigating them. But I think that we'd like to see something happening about these And what we see here is these are it's not just leaking classified intelligence is a very serious thing. And you can describe better than certainly much better than I can, that this is a this is a crime, and we see these These are not whistleblowers, right, These are not people who are calling out bad things. These are people who are leaking

to prosecute a political campaign against the elected president. That that that I think the combination of breaking the law and for what purpose to prosecute a campaign of political warfare, I think it's very bad and I entirely agree. I think we need to get to the bottom of this and the people who have been breaking the law need to be cast. Where are you heading next with your with your reporting? Nearly what what's the what I mean?

I know you're investigative reporters who probably can't really tell us all that much but what are you still trying to get answers to? UM? I think that the UH. I think that what we're learning more and more about

about the oars is especially is especially interesting. UM. I think that the more and more we know about that, I think we might be getting closer and closer to the the kernel of what actually what actually happened here, how this whole relationship went on between Fijian GPS, the press, UH, the FBI, and d o J. So I think that's a very important thing for for for all of us to be looking at and see how that. Do you have a working theory, by the way, as to what

really how did this whole thing start? There's there's notion of Trump and Russia and and you know Trump associates that need to be surveiled because they've changed the story. I know they said they haven't they have they you know, it was Carter Page and it was Papadopolis and now it was before both of them, and then it was after both them, and who knows what what's your working theory is to how this actually got going? That's a

very that's a very good question. I mean, I try to respond to what we you know, what we can find out. I'll say one thing which has struck me for quite a while, and you and I may have spoken about this before. I continue to find it remarkable that they had an open counter intelligence investigation open on Michael Flynn, a retired three star general who was also former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency. So that that tells me two things. That tells me. First of all,

this was a real third world operation. The idea that they had a counter intelligence investigation open on a former spy cheek. I think that's bad enough in itself. But also this, I mean it appears that this goes back that this that this goes back quite a while. I mean, this was they started looking at They started looking at Flynn after the you know, after his dinner with Putin Um I guess that was December two thousand and fifteen.

So again, I I don't want to speculate too much, but I think if we look at all the different people who have been named here, what it was, Carter Page or Paul Manafort, I I find the fact that Michael Flynn was someone that the FBI will I was looking at. I find that astonishing and I find it

very significant. And also I find it important when trying to explain to people have this whole Rusty Gate thing as a hoax, asked them to explain, how do you possibly rationalize they had a counter intelligence investigation open on Michael Flynn, retired three star general, who is still you know, never been the only crime that he's ever even been whispered about being involved in was lying about not committing any crimes, so you know which which as we know,

they can do to anybody. But but at least stay on it man. Next time you got another big, big piece out, we'd love to have you on Lee Smith everybody Real Clear Investigations and you can follow him on Twitter as well. Lee, thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me book. I really appreciate it. Team. We've got more. I want to tell you about what's going on at a school that embraced social justice a little too much. An update on Evergreen State College. Remember that school that

had the day of absence for white people. It turns out that that wasn't exactly well. It didn't have the intended effect for how the rest of the country views that school. We'll get into some of that coming up. The FBI calls home title theft one of the fastest growing crimes. Embrace yourselves because having your credit card stolen is nothing compared to the hell you're in for once

an identity thief takes control of your home's title. You know, folks, everything is stored online these days, including your home's title, and that means that domestic and international cyber thieves have a really easy time of getting access to your stuff. What they do in a home title theft situation is take you off your home's title, replace you with an alias.

Then they borrow every penny they can, and they use your home's equity and stick you with the payments you won't know anything about until you get the late payment notices. Don't let this happen to you. By the way, identity theft programs don't protect you, but home title lock does. For just pennies a day, home Title Lock protects my most voluable asset, my family's home. Register now and get a free analysis and discuss if your homes title has

been compromised. That's a hundred dollar value, folks, for free. Visit home title lock dot com. Again, that's home title lock dot com. So I'm gonna tell you about the Evergreen State College in a moment here. But but first, there's a there's a new iPhone out. Producer Mike is telling me, you know, I just I just got one, by the way, which means that there has to be a new one that comes out. Because I'm always behind the times on this stuff. I always get it wrong.

Mike is is is the new Are you one of these people that camps out on the street for the iPhones? Like? Do you get that excited about this stuff? What is that all about? I don't understand that. I don't know. I sometimes I look at him, I'm like, you must not have a job. But then I'm like, you must have a job because you're spending money on an iPhone. So I don't know. It baffles me. It baffles me too, man.

But the new one coming out, isn't it kind of the It's like an iPhone ten, but it's a cheaper iPhone ten, but it's a better I I don't know, there's a two different things. Well, they dropped three new iPhones today, the XR, the x S and the xs

S max pricing structure. I mean them, they're all no expensive, but they did they raised the prices on some of their old iPhones, but then dropped the prices on others, so I don't I don't know exactly which ones are which, but the ones that they released today apparently have the it's the largest screen to date, like the x S

has the is the largest screen size to date. Um, but the phone is the same size as their old um you know, six s pluses nice another device for us all to pretend we're doing work on when we're really just scrolling through social media. There we get exactly so. So guys, that Evergreen State College, that's the place where they had the the day of I don't know, I don't know how any remember this. This was a while ago. It's got a lot of attention because it was just

so crazy. They had a day of absence where they wanted white people to just not go to school. It was, hey, hey, white people stay home today. We need to have a day without you. And what's What's one of the things it's really astonishing about that I was back in teen was how many people went along with it. They're like, yeah, sure, no, no white people allowed today. Sure, I'm just not gonna

go to school. But there was one professor who has now become part of the I think he's considered one of these dark web intellectuals are not dark web, but is it, uh, the intellectual dark web. I think that's what they call it. Yeah, And he's one of these guys out there. He's up there with like Jordan Peterson and some of the others who they're considered revolutionaries because they have thoughts about things that you're not allowed to

have thoughts about that. That's that's the way we're going now, especially on college campuses as you know. But at Evergreen, Brett Eric Weinstein I think was his was his name, right, Eric Weinstein's is I'm sorry, no, Brett Weinstein on why that was Eric Weinstein. Brett Weinstein is this professor who said, you know what, I'm not really cool with the whole not going not going to school thing because we're having a day of no white people. And he got hammered

for that. People we're saying that he was he was a racist and he doesn't understand and he's just he's just wallowing and all that white privilege and and all and all this stuff. It's the uh, you know that this isn't a four year of four year college. Folks up in Washington state is Evergreen State College, and he got in all this hot water over and then of course people said, hold on a second, um, maybe this guy's actually got something worthwhile to say, and and he

can't he do we have him on this show. We've definitely had some No, we had an n y U professor who had a similar situation, but we haven't had Wineste. I don't think we've had weine Steine on this show. I can't remember. We have so many guests. That's a high class problem. But anyway, why I'm updating you on Evergreen is for one and just to remind you all. As as we're always being told that that Trump is terrible.

You know that the cover of The Atlantic, the very fancy, highbrow journal of of opinion and culture, has the death of Democracy on its cover for this month. You know it's it's all Trump is just destroying democracy in general. That's the that's the basics. Uh As people are saying all this crazy stuff. Meanwhile, they will support things like an idea of uh no white people allowed at school for the day, and they don't see that as being in any way problematic that they don't see a day

without white people. As as an issue. Uh, and turns out other people do because there has been a ctisty. This is a quote, a catastrophic drop in applications to Evergreen State College. People do not want to go anymore. Oh wow, what a surprise. You mean when you have a crazy idea that a school embraces that is just beyond even what what you would expect from the social justice left and all of their lunacy, you mean that people might react to that in ways that you don't

want them to. Uh. They expect three hundred and fifty freshman in the in their incoming class, but the school has a three thousand, a three thousand person enrollment. So if you do that year by year, their their numbers are down well, I mean, let's say it's roughly Uh, they have roughly six hundred students at the at the freshman incoming class rate, but they're supposed to have three thousand,

so they're down like half. They're down half, which is Oh and and as producer Mike points out, MISSOO, which had that professor who was like, we need some muscle over here, we need some muscle over You know, guys, if you don't know I'm talking about you remember that Melissa was her name, Melissa Click Melissa, like I I need some muffo. He's video taping us here. Uh. That school producer Mike just wanted has had a thirty five

percent drop. It app like Asians. So you know, I know right now a lot of people are saying, Oh, Nike's brilliant their marketing campaign social justice is such a winning, a winning strategy. Well, first of all, I think the jury is still out on whether Nike has made a smart move or not. Initially was a really bad move. Now the seconds rebounded. But for these schools that go too hard left on the social justice, the corrective mechanism

that's in place is normal. People look at this and say, I don't want to go to that place, that school, it's crazy. So that's a good thing, you know, it's a it's a victory for sanity today and Evergreen State College. I want to talk about what it's like to try and be Russian and date in d C. I'm obviously not dating nor my Russian, but I read a story about it. Stay with me, So what's it like these

days to be Russian and in the swamp. We'll just like with the walk around in the and the talk to the Konski, the truth is that because of all the Russia collusion in craziness, because so many people have gotten focused in on this notion of Russia as our as our greatest foe uh and and the Russian people as lurking under every under every bed, and and you know in every Internet chat room, on every computer there's a Russian troll just waiting to leap out and throw

an election. I mean, it really is. It's a hysteria. It is a true Red Scare without the high level penetrations of the United States government. Oh that's right of Democrats, by the way, that occurred during the actual original Red Scare. But it's not just something that affects people in the world of politics, and and in the legal realm, you will also have the day to day. But I thought this was pretty funny. I mean, the uh, Politico has a magazine piece. Politico is kind of a competitor of

of the Hill where I work. They have a magazine piece that's tinder Woes, Suspicious Landlords and snark key bosses, young and Russian in d C. And the subhead is Washington's young emigrat crowd is beginning to feel like they're living in a spy novel and they're the bad guys.

So it turns out that there are plenty of folks who have really internalized all this stuff about Russia and Russia collusion to the degree that now when a young Russian guy or gal is out on a date in the district, people make jokes about whether they're, you know, part of the election meddling process, or if they're also working for the FSB. And I'mbroe. A while ago, there was a place here in d c uh that's called the Russia House, and they basically serve a lot of

flavored vodka. I mean they just they make a lot of different flavored vodkas there and I went on a few dates they're back in the day. I definitely spend some time in Russia House and it was right on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, d c. It's a great spot.

But because of all the anti Trump Russia stuff, they've actually seen a drop off in their business, which is just crazy, especially because the Russia House is owned by Americans, like they just this is kind of a kitchy thing that they've gone with and now people are are punishing Russia house that would seem because they they're worried that

some oligarch is an owner in it or something. It's not true, and they tell some stories about this here about how quote um Mari Vanna, a three story restaurant and nightclub littered with Soviet eric kitch opened in DuPont Circle and became the Russian diaspora's day facto party house. It's KGB karaoke nights on Wednesday. Wednesday's raged into the

morning hours. Top Russian acts like Avenushki Ivanushki International would swing through town to play gigs, and Washington Capital stars Alexander o Vette Skin and Alexander Semon would sometimes join in the revelry with students and summer workers from all over the former Soviet Union um and then they said before I would call an event and say hey, we're going to have Ukrainian Independence Day, and everybody would come. This according to a a Soviet born dj uh, he says,

it didn't matter Ukrainian Russia, nobody differentiated. Then Vladimir Putin annex Crimea. The headlines were full of sanctions and the Ukrainians went their own way. And now it's considered poor taste to throw anything with Russian nationalist overtones. Um. When Maria Boutina twenty nine was charged with acting as an unregistered Kremlin agent from her perch as a grad student at American University, it seemed to confirm Washington's worst suspicions

about them. And now, more so than ever, the Capital's young Russian Tonians find themselves living in a battlefield of the new Cold War. Oh man, it's pretty funny. This is a piece by uh who can't find out who it is? Oh Ben Shreckinger talking about how when they go out on tender dates now or when they try to rent an apartment, they hear stuff from their landlords

about whether they well, actually they think there's discrimination. You know, technically you're not allowed to discriminate against somebody even based on national origin in housing, which I'm not sure everybody knows. You know that you can't based on gender, uh, disability, or ethnic or racial origin. But you can't even say, hey, you know, we're we're at war with ex country, so I'm not going to rent a people who are from that country, which I think would surprise a lot of folks.

But you know, these these periods of time when you have a certain uh nationality and a certain country that becomes the number one boogeyman in our international relations, it has these kinds of effects. I remember after after nine eleven and then going into the Iraq War period, there was a pretty heavy degree of anti French sentiment. You guys remember this, remember back with the whole They're gonna

call him Freedom fries instead of French fries. There was a restaurant in New York called E Tazuni, which means the United States, and they it was completely American owned and operated, but they just it was French cuisine and they called it at a Zuni. I remember them them being quoted about how they felt like people weren't and they had heard from people that they didn't want to, uh, you know, support a French restaurant because of what Francis

foreign policy was. So, you know, you come up against this sometimes and it's silly, but in d C it's it's very real right now because you get people that are getting picked up like Maria Boutina, who are essentially socialites. She was a socialite who was trying to, you know, storm the corridors of power here in America and to do so by personal connections, and there they have her, Folks. She's locked up and they won't even let her out

on bail. So she's in prison for this whole thing, and they're going to try to get her on a foreign agent registration violation. I don't know what else they think they're gonna nail her on, but that's usually a pretty minor thing, at least when it involves an American. But there's a hysteria from the do o J all the way down. I think that's what That's what the

real difference is here, folks. It's not just that people are socially thinking of Russia as oh gosh, I've heard about this on the news, but the Department of Justice acts like anything Russia related now is a dire threat of the country. So if you're on a tender date and you're and you're Russian, say you're from Georgia, they won't know which one. Liberty, Truth and Great Hair Team Buck rallies together. Now feel those funky beats. It's time

for roll call. That's where I feel those funky beats with the roll call Facebook dot Com slash Buck Sexton. Let's get two of the dudes and do debts. Bill writes, When you do Hillary's voice, it cracks me up. I think for about fifteen minutes one night you could do pretend that she's there and have conversations with her. Wow. Bell Hello. By the way, I have really learned a lot from listening to you. Thank you so much. Bill.

I hope we entertain you here and I hope that you enjoy your time on the show and learn things. So all though all that good stuff happening. Thank you very much. Um. Michael writes, By the way, if you really want to know about hurricanes and white climate change has nothing to do with them, get Joe bust Stardi on the show. He's the Jesse Kelly of meteorology. Well, let me tell you first of all, that's how I praise uh to call him to Jesse Kelly of meteorology.

As you know, we like Jesse Kelly very much here in the hut. Um. And and look at that, Michael, we had Joe on the show. Isn't that amazing How it happens like that? You know, ask and ye shall receive, my friend, that's how we make it happen here. We

we are in the team. Buck pleasing business in the Freedom Hut, which is important because all of you have high expectations for just that very fact, that very thing, Laurie writes, Buck, you mentioned on there that you don't believe people like Nancy Pelosi we're Christians if they held the leftist views you were discussing. I'm curious what you believe about the apostle paul statements to the Church in Corinth, where he describes those who practice certain behaviors will not

enter the Kingdom of Heaven. At the same time, he makes it clear that although those who claim to be Christians may have one to practice those behaviors, they do so no longer. I think the list he gives is an indictment on many who claim to be Christians, don't you, Laura. I'd have to check it out. I'm not familiar with that verse. I'm not familiar with that passage in the Bible.

And and remember I was just really referring to I don't understand how you can claim to be a believing Christian and be in favor of abortion for all nine months of a pregnancy, and in fact, real abortion abortion movement doctrine is that you have the right to an abortion even if the fetus is successfully delivered against the best efforts of the medical team involved. That's why there,

That's what necessitated the Born Alive Infant Protection Act. And I would note that not only did my advisor at Amherst help craft that bill at Amherst College, he was involved in that a long time ago. But Barack Obama was one of the very few that I know of at least who, as a state senator in Illinois, voted against a companion bill to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act because he wanted to be an absolute thumbs up from ney Roll pro choice America and the planned parenthood.

Uh money machine behind politics, So that you take that for what it's worth. But Laura, I'd have to check that verse out and we will see. Uh. Derby writes, hey Buck shows amazing as always, Derby man. You always you always brighten up my day. Derby. I can always count on Derby to make things a little better. I am continually impressed by your analysis. Your ability to articulate your opinion is very impressive to me because you have the ability to say exactly what's on my mind the time.

Well done, sir. As a side note, I suffered in silence for eight years, but I can be silent no longer. Obama whistles when he says the letter S. It makes me crazy. I hope I'm not the only one shields high. Brother. Love to you and miss Molly, hope you're both doing well well. Love right back to you, Darby from us here in the swamp in d C. And I am. I can't tell you that I have ever picked up Obama making an what do you say he does whistling

when he makes an S sound. I'm I have never picked up on that, and I tend to think that I'm a pretty astute. I'll have to go back and listen to some of it. Um, t J. Right, book, you really don't think Woodward is a fabricator? What about the confession he obtained from the comatose CI director William Casey. If that's not fabrication, I don't know what is, t J. You know, I'm sure there have been fabrications in his past, just based on his reporting record. I'm not saying he's

never fabricated. I'm just saying I find it hard to believe that he would engage in wholesale fabrications in this book. But keep in mind that he doesn't fabricate does not mean that he is not peddling fabrications, right Like t J. If I was interviewing you for a book and you were, uh, the main person that I needed to talk to you on a certain subject, and I said, Hey, what happened when you had a conversation about this or that thing

in the room? And I wrote down verbatim what you said, and I transcribed it, and I and I also recorded the audio. I'm not fabricating, but if you fabricated, then the information is fake. And I think that that a lot of that has happened. Not only to think that would be general Madison, others have said that some of the information in the Woodword Book is in fact fabricated. I would note that this weekend, I'm gonna dive into the Woodword Book. This weekend. That's gonna be my my

light reading. Lucinda cool name Rights deer Buck. I'm touched by your nine eleven store and how it changed the direction of your life. I appreciate your show and look forward to listening every day. Knowing this, I'm glad, for lack of a better word, that you abandon your Wall Street ambitions and ended up in my speakers. PS. You have read two emails from my friend Julie who has who has the cute baby in Colorado. If you read this on air, shout out to her for recommending you

shields high. Lucinda Well, absolutely shout out to Julie and her adorable baby for passing on word to Lucinda, who is now also a part of Team Buck. As I've been saying, this is how the show grows. And this is the single most helpful and honestly most kind of generous thing you can do for all of us here in the freedom hund Is it just tell a friend, hey,

check out this show. Uh, Kimberly right, Hannity always has Joe Bastardi on to explain these storms, and he is like me, a climate DENI are well, Kim Again, I anticipate what the team wants to hear and some of this stuff, so I anticipated as as best I can. Uh, And I'm glad that we're able to have Joe on the show. Um, the podcast is missing an I heart on. Adam says, all right, Adam, we'll take a look at that. I don't I don't know why that is. You know, we had that one day, we had a kind of

a half show on the podcast. We've gone back to full podcast. Don't worry. Uh. And you can all plan on the podcast getting released earlier on in the day. So the podcast of the show, you can always listen live. You can listen on the I heart stream, you can listen on whatever your whatever your affiliate station is across the country. But you can also if you're a podcast listener, check in because we try to get as much of

the show up as early as we can. So check in your feeds, folks, and you'll probably start to see it earlier on because we had been posting it around ten Eastern. We're moving it up quite a bit from there. In fact, we're gonna move it up as early as we can hopefully get in a few hours earlier than that into your feeds, so that way you can listen on the way home, you can listen as you're making dinner. Uh. And that and people won't be a day behind with

the podcast. So I think that's really important. Uh. Sheldon writes, Buck, thank you for the great shows. This is related to the podcast issues earlier in the week. I want to be clear year. UM, I would love the early quick hit podcast along with the night radio podcast. I think what was confusing was we had the quick hit podcast as promise, which was great, but the full show was never uploaded on Monday. Then on Tuesday we only got the full show, no quick hits. I'm not sure how

things work as far as iTunes and podcasts operate. If you still want to do the short show, uh, you know, we'd love to hear that Shields High from Sheldon. So, Sheldon, what what we're gonna do for now is just we're just gonna focus on the full show. And this has been something of an experiment. We're gonna focus on the full show, but we're gonna get it up earlier. We're gonna have the podcast up earlier on in the day because some of this show, some of the radio show

you're listening to, is delayed. So a lot of what you're a lot of the different segments, UM are getting delayed later on in the radio clock, depending on what market, what station you're listening on. So the pod, instead of waiting for us to clear all the all stations everywhere, we're gonna put the podcast up earlier in the day. So that is the plan, and writes Charleston, South Carolina. Here,

we made the decision to evacuate last night. Glad we did because the storm changed path of it overnight and the Charleston area looks to get more of a hit than it was going to yesterday. Things got harry when the governor called for evacuations Monday. Trying to keep calm well, and it's very important that you keep calm, and you're in our thoughts and prayers to be sure, and we want to make sure that you and all of your

loved ones are safe and that's priority number one. So make sure you take care of yourself, take care of those around you, and check back in with us once you've made it through this storm. All good and team that's gonna be it for the Freedom Hunt, or rather the Buck Sexton Show. Today, same thing, I guess see you tomorrow, same time. Shields high
