Fight Fire With Fire

Korea talks. Stay with me. This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show be end. No, there has been no collusion. They won't find any collusion. It doesn't exist. As far as the two gentlemen you told me about, uh, they've been saying I'm going to get rid of them for the last three months, four months,

five months, and uh, they're still here. So we want to get the investigation over with, done with, put it behind us. Welcome to the Bucks Actions Show, everybody. Great to have you. I'm coming to you live from San Diego. California, which I would say is sunny San Diego, but somehow I brought the cold in the rain with me. Womp.

Trump is right. Trump is right. They are continuing this charade, or charade if you want to sound really fancy of caring about what the truth of the investigation into Russia collusion is. What, as we know, it is just to get Trump never Trump anti Trump operation in disguise. That's

what this is all about. They keep talking about whether they should pass legislation to protect Rosenstein and Mueller, and as Trump has putted out himself, they run this story whenever it feels like there's a hole in their news cycle, right, CNN, MSNBC and others. Oh yeah, let's just let's pretend that the the firing of Rosenstein is imminent. That will get people to tune in. Let's get everyone all riled up that it's just, uh, any moment now, Mueller is gonna

get tossed. As I've said to you, I'm much more open to the idea than a lot of other conservatives are. I figure, you know, rip the band aid off and don't think twice about it. But you know, there's some word that the Senate may go around Mitch McConnell and take action on this. And as I've said to you, I think this causes problems just from a constitutional separation of powers perspective. The Senate can't be passing laws that says what the executive branch can do within the executive

branch about appointees and decisions. That that's that's a no go as far as I can see. Uh. But more to the point about the complaints around the imminent firing of Rosenstein and Mueller, you'll notice that the media are not very good at predicting things. They weren't good at predicting the the onset of fascism in this country. That's what they said was they said that was gonna happen. There's gonna be fascism in America because of Trump. Nope,

that didn't happen at all. In fact, countries doing quite well by all the ways we can measure it. Still a lot of work to be done, no question, But they're they're not good at predicting what's gonna happen. They have been predicting Donald Trump's regimes demise, administrations demised for quite some time. I don't think it's gonna happen. In fact, that we're reports today that Rosenstein has told Trump that

he is not a part of any criminal investigation. Now, unlike the other side, we can't make too much of that, because it is true that you can go from being not a part to a part of an investigation the blink of an eye. And when you have a headhunter out there like Mueller who is trying to just take people and ruin them, right, who who is on a quest for deep state vengeance against Trump and his team, you can't take anything for granted. But it feels like

I'm actually not so bad at predictions. Those of you who are listening to the show yesterday, remember that a big theme what I started with was, you know, we need to fight back, and the good people in this country need to push those in positions of power, whether appointed officials are elected officials who see things from the same perspective as us, meaning that we believe in individual rights and liberty and a free society and not some

kind of Democrat, single party state soft authoritarianism. Right. People who don't they don't want that for the country need to actually throw some punches. Not I don't mean literally punch anyone, but they need to be fighting back, fight fire with fire. And today sure as night follows day, or is it as sure as day follows night, whichever one of those things is the one you're supposed to say. We have two instances of very deep swamp state dwellers

or wait, deep states. Actually, I kind of like the way that came about deep state swamp dwellers or deep state swamps deep swamp state dwellers, whichever one you prefer. Um, they are on the hot seat. Now McCabe and Comy may in fact get a little bit of justice that they are going to be very unhappy with. Let's let's take these, Uh, let's take these piece by piece. First and foremost, you have the criminal referral within the Office

of the Inspector General of Remember of the McCabe situation. Now, Andy McCabe was that guy who got fired. And I remember when his firing happened. I was on TV. I was talking about it over Fox and elsewhere, or I guess just a Fox. They didn't want to hear what I had to say about it at see ann no surprise, not that I would go on anyway. Um, but when he was fired, there was all these people in the left saying, oh, it's terrible, how would they do this?

How would you fire McCabe? And then the Inspector General's report came out and it's pretty clear, Yeah, you can fire him because he was lying and leaking and those are problems. Those are things that you're not supposed to do when you are, uh, the number two at the FBI. That's not the way it's supposed to work. So there are real reasons for it. There are real reasons for

McCabe to get tossed. But then people start to ask the other question here, which is, will hold on a second, why is it if we are going to live in a country where people like James Comey will be thank to Comey so haughty about how people can't lie, you know, in the process of investigations or to to federal government officials, you can't lie. Well, shouldn't that apply even more so to those empowered by the federal government than it does

to the average citizen. If the people that are given the authority to show up at your home with guns and you are not allowed to defend yourself, you are required to just go with them when they say go, and they can put you in a cell, and they can do all of that because they claim that you have had something untrue, even if you've committed no other crime. If those people lie, shouldn't we have an even higher

expectation that they will be punished. Shouldn't we demand that they have to live by the same regime, the same rules that they enforced against all of us. And oh, yes, that's right, Trump and Manafort and Flynn and the whole crew. That guy Spurgan Skimmergan from the Netherlands who got like thirty days in jail, Smurgan, I forget his name. Uh he's Dutch. So I think that's normal that we would expect that. In fact, I think it's more than just okay for us to think that way. We have to

think that way. And why I was saying yesterday we have to fight fire with fire, And I really came in the show and I was just I was pumped up about this because I go back. I keep doing this in my head. I cycle through all the cases the big political corruption case is and the cases where there was a huge political outcome that turned on prosecutorial discretion, And what do you see immediately when you just I'm

telling you. As an exercise, do this yourself. Think about a major political corruption case where the Democrats wanted one outcome and the Republicans wanted another, whatever it may be, and somehow every time it goes against the Republicans, and there's nothing equivalent on the Democrats side that I can think of, And I can think of a whole bunch of ones at the top of my head of the Republicans Scooter Livery case, Republican got completely post completely ted

Stevens case, Republican hosed investigations never just even prosecutions, investigations of big political figures. How many times do you know of where a Democrat was investigated based on flimsy to no evidence and either hounded out of office or forced to lose an election because of a criminal investigation that went nowhere. Because I could think of a whole bunch of times has happened to Republicans. Right, Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin,

they were trying to get him. You had a rogue prosecutor up there in the state of Wisconsin, a state prosecutor who was going after the governor. Locked a woman up in prison because she made a phone call. And I remember I covered the case. This was years ago where everyone forgets about what happened Wisconsin now, but the Left was they were going all in, throwing the dirtiest

stuff they could at Walker and his people. They locked a woman up because she took a phone call in a government building when she was supposed to be outside of government building. It was a disgrace, and it was a complete, complete backing all of prosecutorial misconduct, and it was just grotesque, and yed Rick Perry faced their criminal investigation with the threat of a criminal investigation when he

was a governor. Chris Christie any charges there Bridge Gate, though, which I remember Rachel matt Out, who thinks of herself as a very erudite person on the I think it was a Bill Marshall saying was the most delicious political scandal of her lifetime. So she's either really wildly disingenuous or just not nearly in the universe of as smart as she thinks she is in her audience thing she is.

It's one or the other. Because that was a boring political story and Chris Kristy didn't do anything wrong, and that not that I'm some big Christie fan. I don't like the thing where he showed up on the beach when it was closed. Everybody else, I'm just gonna say that he forget about it. But oh, Governor Bob McDonald another one. Supreme Court had to slap down those federal prosecutors and this, folks, I don't even have notes in front of me for this. I'm just rattling this off

the top of my head. And then you look at the other side, Hillary Clinton, anything there, Oh, no no charges, no charges. Absolutely violated criminal statutes in the handling classified information and the destruction of evidence, by the way, and I'm sure if they had tried to actually write down what they were saying or cord them, they would have gotten Huma and Cheryl Mills and Hillary lying and lying and lying. I don't recall the answer to that one.

Something is really rotten and wrong. And yes, there is a cabal. There is a Mulley, mull Mueller, Comy McCabe cabal. There is there are these people that are involved in these very high profile investigations that have come down on on this issue in a way that is obviously partisan time and again, and we need to put a stop to this. And I used to think that maybe we could convince them to stop abusing their power if we

just spoke up about it. But now I'm convinced. And this is where I get back to yesterday and today, fight fire with fire. McCabe bled The o i G. Makes it clear, The Inspector General, the FBI makes it plain and simple. McCabe's a liar lie to federal investigators about matters that affect the United States government, affect the presidency. He's gotta face, he's got to pay the piper. He's got to face the full weight of the law the same way time and again in his career. He has

done that to others. He has jammed up people for far less. And if he has a problem with this, if he thinks that he's allowed to lie, whereas the rest of us can't. Just take a look back at what Comey says in his book about how proud he is of the Martha Stewart prosecution. Again, I'm not some big Martha Stewart fan, but come on, she does make the best pheasants scented cinnamon sticks, which she matches to all of the drapes in the house. But really, it's

time that we hold these people accountable. And the only way we can do that is to make sure that they suffer the same consequences that they would enforce, but all the rest of us. So when the i G has now, as the i G has now turned over McCabe to the U S Attorney for possible criminal charges, they better have a darn good reason why they don't charge him, and it better not be we're just exercising

our discretion in his behalf. Enough of that. We know that discretion is a one way street these days when it comes to high profile federal cases and the Conservatives get hosed, that's enough. No more of that. And Democrats get to get out of jail free card speaking to get out of jail free cards, and Democrats and all the rest of it. It's not just McKay who's in some hot water today. Call me, well, he's on his book tour. He's talking a lot, you know, call me

forgot something very important. It's probably forgotten a lot of things that are very important, like don't be a huge weirdo. But when you are even possibly going to be under suspicion for anything, don't talk a lot. As I always tell you. And this is free legal advice. For me to you, if you ever, ever ever are arrested, say nothing, not officer, I'm sure I'm innocent. Not Hey, can I get a donut? Hey? Do you want a donut? They won't like that you say nothing. Comey has been saying

a lot Comy. He has made it very easy for someone us to say, hold on a second, based on some of your public statements, show you've got some You've got some explaining to do, and we're gonna find out some stuff now that could lead to a criminal referral about James Comey as well? Oh what am I talking about? What is this delicious teas that I have thrown out there?

Stay with me, We'll be right back. Not everybody loves Comy, despite what he seems to think, the entirety of America has not round like, Oh, come me is the man we've been waiting for. That is not the case. Call me got heckled actually at a book signing, and you did not look. Anyone can get heckled. But am I going to enjoy the audio we have of Comy getting

heckled in particular? Yes? I am, because why not? It's my freedom hunt and I'll do with it what I want how is it ethical to brief the president of the United States on an unverifiable and salacious dossier, And how is it ethical leadership to not tell him that his political opposition, Hillary Clinton, paid for that. You are not an ethical leader. You're gonna get prosecuted, Comy, You're

gonna get locked up. Now, you might think that that that lady sounds a little bit like she could use a nap or something, that she's a little little little tense. But maybe she's right about Coby. Maybe uh, maybe com me' is in some trouble. Before I get to that, though, I'm gonna I'm gonna keep you on the cliffhanger with this one before I get to that. Her allegation about how you know, he briefed a in unverified dossie. I gotta tell you if I had ever tried that, I

can just tell you this. If when I was a little CI analyst, you know, way way down the ORG chart, and I had said, Hey, you know what we should do. We should tell the president about this piece of total garbage oppo research, just so he knows it's out there. People would have been like, we're going to escort you out now, and you're not allowed back. But calmly thought this was a good idea. Comby doesn't have any good answers as to why he thought it was a good idea.

But play a teen. In January two seventeen, when you met with President Trump and you did that oral presentation of what's in the two page memo summarizing the Steel Dossier, we know from the book that you talked about these unverified allegations involving him in prostitutes. Um, did you did you brief him about any any of the other things in the Steel Dossier claims that his associates Michael Colin or Paul Manafort were potentially working with the Russians? Or

was it only about the prostitute? Was only about the salacious part of it? Why? Why only about that? Because that was the part that the leaders of the intelligence community agreed he needed to be told about because we knew it and thought it was about to become public, and if it was true, we didn't whether it was true. It would be important to let him know this as

part of a defensive briefing. No, no, no, By the way, the leaders of the intel community, you mean, like Clapper and Brennan who are rapidly anti Trump, I mean hate Trump. They wanted him to know. I think they were trolling him. I think they were extending a particular finger in Trump's direction. I do not think they were trying to do the president United States of solid and I do not think

that they were respecting the power of the offices. They held that to the topic intel positions, and also I think they wanted to get it into the official record. But let's talk about Comy's official record coming up. He's holding the line for America. But Sexton is back. The Justice Department is also expected today to begin the process of letting Congress see your memos detailing your interactions with President Trump. Is that the right decision to let Congress

see them? I don't know, because I don't know what considerations the Department has taken into account. It's fine by me if you don't care. I don't care. I don't have any I don't have any views on it. I'm totally fine with transparency. I've tried to be transparent throughout this, and I think what folks will see if they get to see the memos is I've been consistent since the very beginning, right after my encounters with President Trump, and I'm consistent in the book and try to be transparent

in the book as well. Now, Comy's memos might be gonna be shared with Congress, but they also, um, they also may make their way beyond just that. Comy's memos, if they get seen by the public, would be quite interesting. I think here's what's going on. We've heard from at least I think it was Chuck Grassley that there was classified information there, and now reporting from seeing that and others is that the memos are going to be made public.

Here's meaning. So it's one thing for Congress to see them, but then they may be made public beyond that, And this is how it's gonna go down. Um, they can't redact what is in the memos for classified reasons, because then there's absolutely no question Comey would have lead classified information to the media right after leaving the FBI, and he's gonna be facing charges unless he gets the full Hillary treatment, and all of a sudden, the law is

and the law anymore. But I don't know if Comy can count on someone else to pull a Comy for him the way he did for Hillary. I don't know. He might be in some trouble so they can't redact the information when I think it's more likely, you know, so that you're not gonna get memos released with black outlines, because that's gonna be us. You're saying, call me release classified.

That's not gonna happen. If they released them publicly, though, um, then it would be a question of, well, is this information that could be even considered at the lowest level of classification. For example, is a meeting with the president, between the FBI director or with the FBI director just that discusses anything of substance considered classified information? The answer

is yes. So if the FBI director Comey sat down with Trump and all they talked about was uh, you know, hey, like you know, if it was Hilary yoga and whangs. But you know, if they all that, he was talking about stuff that no one really cares about. Okay, fun, you know, if it's hey, you know, Jim, just want to know that you're on board with the new administration and be come over to the residents and have you know, dinner with me and Milania. Okay, yeah, that's not classified, right,

I'm not trying to be dishonest about this. And I'm not trying to be sancta comus. You like that, right, I'm having fun with it now. But if there's any substantive information in there, a conversation that deals with even policy issues in a with any specificity between the FBI director and the President could very well be In fact, I would think in most cases would be considered classified information at least at the level of confidential, right, lowest

level of classification. Uh So what would that mean, folks? If they release information that's borderline could be classified, but they're gonna say it's not classified. A lot of us are gonna say, so the fixes it once again, right because they know that they can't. They can't release stuff that is redacted. And I think that there's a very a good chance that we'll see this causes this causes some issues one way or another. Um, if the Comy memos are made public, then we will see first of all,

what Comy was trying to construct as a narrative. Keep on, this is just his handwritten, so you're not gonna find anything bad about Comey in this. This is a one sided record. One of the reasons I would note, and this is an important aside, This is your free It's not really legal advice because I'm not a lawyer, so I don't don't I'm not actually giving legal advice, but you know your your free bit of legal wisdom. Uh do? You never want to sit down and allow and people

will argue with me on this, and that's fine. You want an actual recording of a conversation that you would have and by what, by the way, how am I wrong here? Already? Don't talk to the FBI. You don't have a lawyer, don't talk to the FBI. That's it. There's there's not a like a maybe a sort of a kind of don't talk to the FBI because I know all the people listen to this show. If you ever had to talk to the FBI and er bad circumstances, it would be you know, for like a minor thing,

you know what I mean. If you're if if they're if there's like the lone ax murder who's listening to this show somewhere, you should talk to the FBI, sir. You you talk to them a lot. But for the rest of you, I don't want you getting jammed up on something small or even like getting Scooter libbied. Now, granted he had lawyers and everything else, but they were going after him, so you could be a h And that's why I'm telling you don't talk to the FBI.

But also if you are going to talk to them, don't allow for it to just be a record based on their recollections written down, because they will use that in court and that will be the only record. You want, an actual recording of the conversation, so there can be no doubt about not just the specific words, but tone intention. You know, look at all the process crimes, Look at the way they go after people and what they go after them for mine or stuff. When was the last

time you spoke to so and so. Oh you said it was September, It was actually August. Guilty go to prison. So with Comy, the memos are going to be a one sided commy ist dar I even say, revision of whatever the conversation was. So keep that in mind, um, and I'm sure you'll see. You know, Comey reminds me one of these guys who I think it's Dwight Shrewd in office Space, who like writes himself in as the hero in his own you know, his own novels or books am I right, John, Oh, I'm sorry. The office.

That's what I meant. Yeah, Dwight shrud in the office. I know, I got office space in the mind in the office. You know, he's the hero of his own his own screenplays or novels or whatever. You know, other people have done that. Uh, that's what Comey is. He's like the the one great honest man in America who's just trying to bring truth and justice for all uh and making a lot of money by going around trashing and sitting president doing it and playing dirty. There's no question.

And what he did was really unethical to use his position as FBI director to wage a partisan war, to engage in his own little petty vendetta and use a cutout in the process and get the New York Times. And I'm not the only one the things that's gross. Well, there's obviously the DIRSH. We'll get to the DIRSH in a second. It's up Dirsh. But there's also Jonathan Turley, the constitutional law professor. He talked about this play clip seven.

I think that many career people at the at the Justice Department must really find this quite repulsive that the very notion of an former FBI director writing a tell all book, uh is a virtual contradiction in terms. You know, FBI directors have valued their circumspection. You know, they need to have presidents trust them, and Comey has just has really destroyed that. The fact that he rushed this book out is inexcusable. He was the head of this investigation

and is now one of the cooperating witnesses. Nobody would suggest that this book is benefiting the investigation. To the contrary, he's undermining his role as a witness. And so the question is why is he doing it? And the answers where they're obvious. He's gonna make a lot of money, but in the process he's gonna do untold harm to the institution he once headed. You'll remember, of course, we've been told all along that Trump is the one doing

damage to institutions. Meanwhile, how could after this Donald Trump unless he had a you know, I think he trust Pompey, right, there are other people, but how could he trust anybody who was a holdover from the Obama administration at a senior level. He'd be foolish too. And how could any incoming president think that the FBI director that he or

she inherited would be not possibly a political liability. This does absolutely undermine the confidence And by the way, on my point about the discussions had between a president and a and a cabinet level official or were with the FBI director. One of the reasons that information, Yeah, it's tough that you don't want your enemies to know about, so you have to classify it, so it's protected. But it all seems to be classified because it's protected within

the government. If the president can have a candid discussion with the attorney general or the heavy FBI, it impairs his ability to function as effectively as he could otherwise. So commies doing real damage here. Oh yeah, and he's also weighing in on an ongoing investigation with a book and countless interviews after leaking information. You know, there are all these people who were so and I had a few ye I don't know if we call them conservatives anymore,

but I had a few right of center friends. We're saying, Buck, you know, I've I've heard you say deep state before. You you can't use that term. And then I have to smack them around a little bit gently because they're you know, people that I'm I'm friendly with say, look, first of all, I actually to know the derivation of deep state and can tell you the history of it. If you want to talk about all the coups in Turkey in the twentieth century, I can do that. You know,

let's let's let's put that aside for a moment. Unlike the other people running around. Actually, it can get into this at a level that I don't think. I don't think you want to go there. But also, what are we to call this when you have a cabal, when you have a group of politically energized and dedicated opponents of the current administration using high office to try to bring down a president? What is that if not some form of deep state. I'm not saying the deep state

is the entire federal government. Was saying there is a deep state within the federal government. I think that's fair. And we see more and more evidence of it all the time. You know, when you start to look at this and line it all up, Uh yeah, let's understand that they're really destroying these institutions that they are pretending Donald Trump is destroying. Saw this, uh this tweet. I think it's from Chuck Ross over the Daily Caller. Worth

a reminder. McCabe, who was fired over a lack of candor and is now referred for investigation, sent Peter Struck, who was demoted from Muller's team, to interview Michael Flynn, who was charged with lyne to the FBI. I mean, this stuff is a mess and it's just gonna get messier. And the more truth we find out, the more we realize, Yeah,

no collusion, that's been true along. Trump is right, but the other side they have gone into the darkness because of their anti trump mania and McCabe and Comey, one of them, as we say in the NYPD, one one's gonna get jammed up. It's gonna get jammed up. It's gonna happen. I'm not sure which one, maybe both, maybe get a TUFA, but someone's getting jammed eight four four night to five. If you want to chat my friends eight four four nine Buck, you're back in just a second.

Lines are lits team, So let's get into it. We've got Jake in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Hey, Jake, I don't hear Jake. Yes, I'm right here there you are, sir, what's up? Well? I heard you speaking about the reasons for uh, Tolly talking about the jossier with Trump, and I kind of think of it this way. I think because of everything that was going on that he was involved with that Tomy was involved with that, he was very unstable and insecure about it himself and his position.

And I think in the meeting that he had before this with Trump, Trump kind of dim was dismissing with him, and so uh he even said in the interview that he had this Panopolis that uh when he did this, and Stephanopolis asked him why he did it, and he said something about, well, I wanted to show him that

he needed to have those daily briefs. And I think the reason he wanted Trump to have those daily briefings is because he needed to have time with Trump so he could kiss up to him, so he could ensure that he would stay as FBR director. Well, you know, Jake, I think you've hit on something that's that's important, and that is that Comey would have been perfectly happy to work with Trump, work for Trump as FBI director if he could stay FBI director. Right, He's kind of Comy

is is a scorned man. He's not a a guy who uh you know, he poses as a martyr, but he's really like a scorned individual who feels like he was done wrong by the presidents and now he wants his revenge. And that's where I that's where I think, Uh, well, you know a lot of people, by the way, I've noticed the really the the childishness and the nastiness of some of Comy's commentary about Trump. But I do think you're right, uh, that he wanted face time with him.

He want to face some of the president. I can tell you, and thank you for calling in, Jake. I can tell you from my own time and government that uh, and and I had some FaceTime with with a previous president during briefings that man, when you're in the federal bureaucracy, time with Potus FRESI United States, there's uh, there's nothing else that gets most folks as excited as that. Professionally speaking, they really want to get in front of the the guy who's the guy, or one day maybe the gal

who's calling the shots. Butch in Winston Sale, North Carolina, Hey, Butch, how are you, Buck? I'm good, Thank you for your call, thank you for what you do and trying to get the truth out there. My community. Is that a lot of these people. There's only two words used in our constitution against people who are trying to overthrow and take over our government. And one of those words is treason, which everybody knows, but very few people understand the meaning

of the word sedition. And I recommend they looked that word up and look at the definition. That fits a lot of people, uh, trying to go against our government, against our president, uh, in a lot of cases, including somebody like George Soros. You know. So I think if they're not guilty of treason, they could easily be brought to bear for sedition. But you rarely hear that word used anymore, but it is sedition is encouraging others to

basically turn against state authority. Right, So that's Uh. There's the Alien and Sedition Acts of I think eighteen o two, which we could talk about another time, but they were quite unconstitutional at the time. We actually have a long history in this country of truncating free speech when it annoys the federal government. Enough, we think we're the free speech country, but we barely are. Um. But thank you

very much for calling in. Butch I do appreciate it, and uh, you know, That's where you do run into, Uh, you do run into the realities of people being in very senior government roles who are advocating for a really disruption of the government. You know, they want impeachment, removal of the present, all the rest of it. Uh. Carl in Lafayette, West Lafayette, Indiana. Hey Carl, Hey buck Uh.

I sent your message on Facebook. I don't know if you got it about the the Swiss lab that it's confirming that it was not actually Nova Chok used in the assassination at Chimp, and that was it was a toxin. It's called something BZ toxins. And the whole point is if that wasn't Nova Chok, and we got a whole different situation on our hands. Well, I gotta look at

this up. But I haven't said. I will go through more of the Facebook obviously the end of the show during roll call and also tonight when I when I get home. Um, but I'll take a look at this piece. I can't speak to it because I haven't read it, and I would want to see. I mean, my first impulse is who's the source on this one? You know, who's in charge of putting that forward? But we will. I'll keep an eye out and I appreciate you raising

it to my attention. Thank you very much, sir. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Our two is here. We've been discussing a lot about Kobe and McCabe and how they could be in some hot water and it might be might be justice in fact that they are going to be subject to. But I wanted to follow up on our start books story. In fact, earlier today, I was in a Starbucks because I'm on the road and I

was thinking about it. The second most populists or not a popular, most numerous there you go. I think it's the second most numerous franchise in the country. Now eight thousand. I might be making up that. I know it's eight thousand stores. Don't quote me on the second most populous. That's probably wrong, although there are Starbucks everywhere. But this story is continuing on as I knew it would. The social justice warriors have leaned into it all the way

and MSNBC has gone into full uh racial teaching mode. Right. They want to they want to have a teaching moment, a teachable moment for the country based on this, and in order to do that, it has to be about not just this incident, not just Starbucks, but you guessed it, systemic racism in general, or as it's called now, unconscious bias.

I think it's interesting they used the term unconscio is biased, I think because it's less offensive to some people who have, you know, who are of goodwill on this or well intentioned. If you tell someone that you need unconscious bias training, they may say, yeah, okay, I think I need that. If you tell someone that you need to learn to not be a racist, they hopefully will say, I'm not

a racist, though, so what are you doing right? So there's reasons why they call these things what they call them. But you had Dante Robinson and Rashawn Nelson who have spoken out. Now they are the two individuals from the Philadelphia Starbucks incident. They have spoken out. We have a clip from them. I want to make sure that this

situation doesn't happen again. So what I want is for a young man or young men to not be traumatized by this and instead motivated, inspired, And what do you want Rashan so you know, take this opportunity as as a stepping stone, you know, to really stand up and you know, show your greatness and that you are not judged by the color of skin as our ancestors where or anyone else. Just really taking those actions and putting them in a place and you know, help people understand

that it's not just a black people thing. This is a people thing and that's exactly what we want to see out of this and that's true change. So put action into place and stop using your words. Now it's your gentlemen, not are you know, saying very sensible things? And uh, you know, I can't I can't fault the messaging now. Um, I think that you know that they're speaking out and they feel very passionate about the subject,

and that's all fine. I just would like some answers to some some questions, though, if not from them, from some others about exactly what happened here. For example, why is it now that the Philadelphia Police commission nor has completely reversed himself and is backing backing off of supporting the cops in this incident. And the chain of events here was you have two black eyes in a Starbucks

they're there for a meeting, they won't buy anything. They're asked to buy something, they say they're not going to buy anything. And then the police are called within a couple of minutes of them being there, and we I think we haven't heard anything from the end producer, Mike, let me know if this this is off base. I

don't think we've heard anything from the store manager. Still, the police arrived, and I did see reports that these two, these two gentlemen, uh, these two uh black men who were at the Starbucks, refused to leave when they were told to leave by the cops, and then the cops put the cups on them. And as far as I can tell, that's completely legitimate behavior from the police's perspective. Right, if you if you're in, if you're on private property,

you won't leave, you get arrested, you know. Otherwise the whole notion of private property kind of starts to fade away real fast. But initially the police. You can't tell me that the commissioner didn't know the facts of the case. Come on, right, big national story and didn't happen, right, He was backing them up until yesterday. Why switch? Why

the the change? Um? You have the commissioner. I'm trying to grab his name here is I'm going and just say that that as Starbucks store manager, they said it's no longer with the company. But you're right, Yeah, we haven't heard from him at all. Yeah, So so we know that the manager's gone, but we don't get to here from the manager. Do we know anything about the manager?

As far as I understand, nothing? Uh? And I also, like I said, I would want to know why the police commissioner, many days after the incident, is saying I backed my office is and then is completely changing his tune and saying that he quote made the situation worse. The police commissioner is African American by the way, I'm trying to find his name here, but made the situation worse, um, by backing the cops. So I would like to know.

And by the way, Mike, why don't we grab that if we have the audio of the commissioner speaking, I'd like to just just play that on an air for the for the record. Um, what did he find out that was new? What did he get going that was or what what did he come upon that was different from what he knew yesterday? Is it possible that the commissioner feels a bit of political pressure here to change what he said. And what does that mean for those

those officers who made the arrest. Are they gonna be sacrificed in this whole effort to be on the right side of this politically charged issue. I don't want to know some stuff. Also would like to know. This is Starbucks, I'm assuming and Mike told me Richard Ross is the name of the police commissioner in Philadelphia. And also producer Mark said it was almost fourteen thousand Starbucks stores in the US. I thought it was eight thousand Samson night,

I was way off. Um, So I would like to know is there a video this is Remember it's been a few days here and then they look no. Also, let's keep in mind, it's not the police are overwhelmed. Okay, they're they're not. You know, they're not combing through the wreckage after an explosion. You know, a couple of guys were asked to leave. It seems like people have very real concerns that there was some racial bias involved, and

we'd like to just know what happened. But I would like additional information, and I think, uh, one of the things we want to know is isn't there a video camera? Do we do? We get the so so we don't get to hear the cop side of the story. The police commissioner changes his side of the story, we don't hear from the store manager in question, and we don't seem to be shown. We only were only showing the the social media video which the people that were claiming

there was racism. We're the ones who posted I would like to know what the store video shows. Is everything exactly as described by those who are claiming a bias here? Uh so this is this is not gonna Like I said, it's not gonna go anytime soon. By It's gonna cost Starbucks a lot of money. It's not gonna be cheap to shut down all of their many thousands of stores for a day to do unconscious bias training. Um. And

I'm telling you it's just a matter. This now sets a precedent that when there's a company that is not as woke friendly as Starbucks, that has even the mere allegation of any kind of racial bias or impropriety, the entire social justice machinery and activists and everything else will just they will make the place crumble. I mean they will go after it with everything they've got. Um and uh, one more thing before I switch out the topics here. Oh,

and I can't switch up. Yesterday we had the guy whose video is going kind of viral who went into the stores. I've got to follow up for you on that. But one other thing I can't help but notice and now I'm really tying together our conversation from the last hour. What we're talking about now, isn't it funny to you? And I don't mean funny like ha ha, I mean funny like that when the press reports on local law enforcement,

they don't get the benefit of the doubt. Right, Cops, constables on patrol do not get the benefit of the doubt. They are uh often covered by the press in any incident that's newsworthy. Police in general are going to be treated as uh systemically, if not racist, at least racially insensitive. And the the you know part of the school the prison pipeline problem, and there there's just a lot of and when there's a cop said versus purp said, as that's what the cops would call it, per per perpetrator.

When there's a cops said purp said situation. We know that the mainstream media always sides with the purp right or or this, because the the the would be perp would be what you could say if you don't believe the person is even a perpetrator, but or the alleged purp um. When it comes to the FBI, there can be no criticism. The FBI is beyond approach, especially FBI senior leadership, which has to be praised constantly and defended vociferously.

It seems weird, right because actually federal law enforcement is much more likely to be politically abusive. Federal law enforcement has all kinds of authorities and and resources that local law enforcement do not, so you would think that they'd be even more on the watch for the abuse. And I'm not saying that federalaw enforcement is good or bad in this area. I'm just saying their watchdogs, the meteor watchdogs against local cops, state police, they're they're always on

the lookout for what they're doing. But the FBI all of a sudden, all of a sudden, the FBI is uh, they hollowed institution that is beyond suspicion or approach. I think that's what you I think that's a little convenient.

I think there's some clues here they'll make us think that perhaps there's a there's an agenda behind that and the wagon circling around McCabe at Comy and and then also outside of that, in the I C. Brennan and uh Clapper and Yates and Strock and all these people interesting that they're willing to put aside all their concerns about abuse of federal government power and police power and the disparities between class and race and culture as to

how the federal government deals with them. And that's all gone. FBI good, local cops not so good. That's the way that that's where the media treats it. I'm always like, hmm, I think we should give that a little more attention, because it's not because they love the FBI so much. Folks, Uh eight four or four to five lines open, stay with me. Discus the unfortunate incident that has been in the news about this great city, um an incident that I fully acknowledge that I played a significant role in

making them worse. For starters, I should have said the officers acted within the scope of the law, and not they did did they didn't do anything wrong. Words are very important. While it is no excuse, my lack of awareness of the Starbucks business model played a role in my message. So what I'm confused here? That's the police commissioner in Philadelphia was backing up his officers in the Starbucks incident. Now he's saying they acted within the scope

of the law, but it was still a problem. Um, I mean over active within the scope of their duties. So okay, what what's the issue then, and why isn't he explaining what they did wrong or how they were wrong if they acted within the scope of the law. Also note that he's taking personal responsibility for making it worse.

I think this is just you know, look, the the woke activists out there have become very powerful and they but they woke is now that you've heard me saying in a lot Just in case you're wondering, it's the It's the term for being socially conscious as a social justice warrior. Basically. I think that's a good working definition of it. But I look, I can tell you this, I wouldn't want to be those two officers. You got your commissioner saying that, yeah, what they did was technically okay,

but it was really bad. No, that's not how this is supposed to work. Uh. By the way, I mentioned yesterday where we actually played the audio for you of this guy demanding free coffee. Just in case you forgot play Levin, I heard you guys don't like black people, so I wanted to get my Starbucks operations I give to you. Yeah, I saw that on my Twitter last night. I was like, yeah, I need I need a free cloth.

That's what I'm talking about. This is justice. I'm like, we couldn't authenticate this, and it seemed, uh, you know, it looked like he might just be doing and it turned out it was a stunt. It is a stunt. So I don't want to just let this, let this lie. I wanted to actually come back to it. This guy was intentionally trolling Starbucks, if you will, And he explained his name is Brian Sharp. Um, here's what he had. Now, He's upright. He was doing it for effect, right, It wasn't.

It's not that he thought that this was really a campaign, that he was demanding reparations for coffee or anything like that. He was just trying to show how people can use these situations for their own benefit. But I'll let him speak for himself. Play clip twelve. I am sick and tired of liberals using black people and making us look like victims, making us look off with their liberal dogma.

It is disgusting. The other thing I hate about the liberals is if you're a black man, as I am in America, they will not hand you a microphone unless you follow the liberal narrative. And I said, you know what, I bet if I go into Starbucks and I follow a liberal narrative, I'll make the news. And while I here I am Indeed, he made the news and he's here on the show. Um, that's what calls I want to take here David and Allentown, Pennsylvania. Hey David, how's

it going. It's good, Thanks for your call. I had a speculation that the reason why you haven't heard anything about the manager at the Starbucks is maybe the manager as the of the same national origin of the two gentlemen. That's positive, certainly, that's what. By the way, I don't expect that somebody in this situation would like come out and address the press or something. But we, as far as I understand it, we know very little. I haven't really seen any reporting on even who the manager was

or or anything about him. I don't even know are we assuming? Do we know if he's male producer Mike, I can't remember. I know the other one was female, she's in the video. But so as you're saying, David, that that would affect it because you know, because it's people aren't racist against their own race, I'll just tell you that they they'll say, because this comes up with

police racism. They'll say that even for example, a black or Latino police officer who engages with minorities as an officer in certain ways can be imposing unconscious bias because they're in a position of authority and a structure that is created to oppress non white minorities, right, I mean this is I obviously do a lot of reading about how the or I'm very familiar with how the the left frames these these issues used. But so that wouldn't

necessarily be a game changer for the narrative. But I do have my questions about why is that we don't know more about this, and there's certainly more information that could be brought to bear. I appreciate you calling in, David, Thank you very much for that, Um, and uh yeah, I I this is uh. I have a feeling we're not going to get complete answers here anytime soon. And Starbucks is using us as a as a teachable moment and it's going to be literally teaching its own employees.

I guess how to deal with these situations. I would also note that it was fun to read some of these pieces that were out there about how uh you know, and people were saying it to on social media. Well, you know, it's not really clear that you have to, you know, because of restaurants for customers only. It's not a real thing. Um, well, it is a real thing. It's a real thing, and we all know it is, right.

So why am I reading think pieces? Not that there's much thinking going on in them in USA today or other places. I think I saw him in USA today. I've seen a few of these articles were like, as does Starbucks really require a purchase to sit there? And I mean, I can tell you this my you know, unless I get some other permission. My assumption is that if I'm gonna be using the facilities for a public accommodation like a restaurant or a cafe or whatever, I

always acting on the assumption that, yeah, that's right. They're running a business, and you know, if you can't pay for some reason, let's say I lost my wallet or how many money on me or something, you know, maybe i'd ask management. But if management said no, I wouldn't have some big problem with it, because I understand right they they're running a business, and yeah, I don't even have to sit down and talk about it this way. But you know they're buying paper, towel and toilet paper,

and you know that there's there's stuff that goes into it. Right, So the Starbucks thing is something we're gonna have to keep falling because it's gonna gonna be staying around for a bit. Uh. We've got some updates on the case into the musician Princes overdose from opioids, and I wanted to talk to you a bit about that case. I was reading up on it today. So what happened to Prince we will discuss. He's holding the line for America, Buck Sexton his back. Prince the musician died of a

drug overdose in today. We have the final decision of the authorities not to file any criminal charges against anyone, despite all the speculation and the fact that you know, they know what the drug was that he had, and

everything else that was going on around it. A doctor, Michael Schulenberg, who had been treating Prince right before his death, has agreed to a thirty thousand dollar federal civil violation for an illegal prescription, but he admits no liability as part of the settlement and will not um and he has said along that he never gave someone prescription drugs with the idea that they would be rerouted to Prince.

I'm just realizing that I actually don't know Princes. I would call him by his legal name, but anyway, I was gonna call him Prince. So here's what we found out about the case. Though I didn't know this, and it was interesting to me. Prince thought he was taking vicating And this is going to tie into our discussions about um opioids and the opiate epidemic. Obviously Prince thought he was taking vicating, but they found a lot of pills that he had that were illegal that had fentanyl.

Now fentanyl can be actually know someone who's UH had a family member who was on Fenton Al I was talking to about it recently because he was battling cancer. So fentanyl can be used legally, and it's in patch form when you use it legally, but it's coming into the US in large quantities illegally because it's a simple process to make. Fentanyl is not hard to make. I don't know how to make it, but I think it's a either three or four step chemical process to make it.

And it is a hundred times more powerful than or can be a hundred times more powerful than the over the counter opioids that people have become familiar with, percocet, percocet, vic it in, OxyContin. And what happened here with Prince was that he thought he was taking vicating but because he got the pills on the black market, what he was taking, we're actually illegal fentanyl pills that they were

being that they were selling as vica into people. So this is just a reminder of how dangerous it is and one of the reasons why I understand why the regulations in place on drugs that are I guess scheduled to write Schedule one is just illegal stuff scheduled to under the Controlled Substances Act is prescriptions that are prescription drugs that have a use but are still very tightly controlled their controlled substances, and they need to regulate this

stuff because it's one very dangerous It can be very dangerous even if you're trying to not engage in the illegal market. But the moment you step out of the regulator markets, you don't know what you're getting, the moment you're buying something that's been put in some bottle or I don't even I don't know how people get these illegal pills in the black market these days. Uh, because if you take fent atyl one time and it's the

wrong dose, you can die very easily. Um. Fentanyl's potency is so strong that people have to show up and has matt suits. E. M. S Has to come in and has matt suits for fear of coming into skin

contact with fentanyl at an overdose site. So the Prince is one of the more visible, one of the more visible, one of the most visible, I think in the last decade or so of those who are either celebrities and have overdosed on something that's either heroin or an opioid or opiate and what Philip symour Hoffman as well and ends up happening with these guys. They get into it via the pills. Prince apparently had chronic pain in his hip and he started taking the pills and they helped.

But then you develop a tolerance for you start taking more, start taking more, and then you find out that it's easier. Uh two, especially if you become addicted. It's easier to get it illegally in many ways, and it is to have to go through a legitimate doctor, because the doctor may say, well, hold on, we gotta slow you down, we gotta figure this out. And if you are addicted to any opiate or any opioid, you you do not want to hear from anyone that you can't have it.

The more I've read, and this is some of my thoughts on this come from being almost done with the book. Dre Land actually tweeted at Sam Canonas to tell him how much I'm enjoying his book. He's an l A Times reporter, or was an l A. Times report. I don't know what he does these days. He might still

be there. I just don't know. But his book Dreamland Is is phenomenal and really all of you should read it, and those of you it's one of those books that I've mentioned on ERE a few times just because I think it's so important to have for us to have an understanding of what's going on in the country right

now with the opioid epidemic. Um those who have actually taken me up on it and started to read it have been writing me to say, you know, that's a really it's a really good book, and it's a it's a story that we all should know how this happened, how we got to this point where if you are you know aged, uh, you know, it's what I think it's fifty five now or eighteen to fifty five, and

you're you're suffering an untimely demise this country. It's not it's more likely to be opiates then from a car accident. So that's really that's just a profound statement and of itself. But there's so much danger in taking these substances and there they flooded into the country. They're all over the place. There's a lot of them on the on the black market, just from people that are reselling their prescriptions. Uh, there are a lot of people that are bringing them into country.

I mean, look, I'm if I had more time, I'd actually try to go down to the border. Right now, I'm only about thirty minute drive from Tijuana, maybe thirty five minute drive. And I would like to go see what's going on in the San Diego border sector. But I gotta get back to the east coast. But that's something on my list for another time. I'm really curious see how things are going down there, and i'd like to set up some discussions and interviews with whoever could

speak to me from border patrol. I know that's gonna be very, uh as politically sensitive. Right now, you've got the governor, Governor Brown, who won't allow basically anything to be done to help border patrol by the national Guard. Right. National Guard is not to be used in any way, shape or form that take takes the load off of a border patrol. Which is just another way of the governor California saying he is he has pro illegal immigration. He's not trying to limit it. He's not sympathetic to

illegal immigrants. He is pro illegal immigration full stop. That's a big change from even where the Democrat Party was ten or fifteen years ago. I like how Trump is responding by saying that we're not gonna order that. That's you know, he's not gonna pay for it now. You know, I like it. Trump needs to hit back on this stuff. The country needs to see what some of these elected

officials really believe and how they're spending tax dollars. But you know, if I were in my in my earlier days, I guess I'm still you know, I'm not married, don't have kids, so maybe I could justify my head to

do it. I still want to get down into the southern tip of Baha and the Baha Peninsula and just talk to some of the authorities, journalist whoever I could about what's going on now in the Cabo, the area of the of Cabo San Lucas and and the cities around it, which is now more violent than at any time any time in history, I believe so. And the drug cartels are all tied into this. Drug cartels are making so much money now via the heroin trade, and

it's all coming in through Mexico. Even the illegal fentonel that China is making in big vats come into Mexico and then are trans shipped in the United States via the same smuggling pipelines to get illegal aliens in the country, and then the dealers hide in the illegal immigrant population and the illegal alien population of major cities and in smaller cities where there's been so much illegal immigration in the last twenty or thirty years that places you wouldn't

necessarily think of. And I know a lot of your listening like, oh buck, trust me my time. We got a lot of legal immigrants. And you know, we're a city of fifty or a hundred thousand and not not a big city. But the dealers hide among the rest of the population, and they switched them out too. It's

a very very important part of the strategy. The dealers come and go, so they go back to Mexico, and that means that it's a lot harder to bring cases against them, and you gotta get them while they're here.

And uh, and people are losing their life. Prince, philipsymor Hoffman, philipsy More Hoffman, and just last year alone, sixty four thousand other Americans who had futures that they never were able to see because of what's going on with illegal illegal drugs, primarily now uh, fentanyl top of the list,

and also heroin. So interesting that they couldn't figure out who gave Prince the pill was really what it came down to, who gave him this fentanyl that he thought was Viking, and they have information to to prove that he didn't think he was taking fentanyl. He I don't know if he would have known how dangerous that was or but they couldn't prove it. So no one's gonna be charged with anything even though someone gave him illegal drugs that were miss mislabeled. And now we you know,

we lost a great a great musician. Um. Well, we lose Americans every day to this, whether someone's a musician or not. We really shouldn't, you know. You think about this in terms of what gets attention, but each each American life that's lost this epidemic as a tragedy and it requires a much more robust not just government response.

Right we think the government's going to solve this. We need to know more about this and how it happens and where it's happening, and how to combat it, and why we are in the midst of this as a country. And this is this is an all hands on deck situation. This is a a true crisis. So I I was thinking about this today as I was reading the update from the case UM dealing with Prince Um. And we've

got we've got more common team. I will be discussing the latest with North Korea, a big concession coming from the North Korean side of the upcoming summit between Trump and Kim Jong And that makes me think, Okay, this is actually moving in a direction where we could see some stuff happen and it's not just gonna be uh, you know, they show up, shake hands or high five or whatever, and then Trump and Kim Jong un go

their separate ways. Um. And then the second hour of also our third hour that I've got to talk to you about the wisdom of Kanye, the life philosophy of Kanye West. He's putting it all over Twitter, some interesting stuff you want. I think you will want to hear that. And the Governor New York is acting like a Bozoh, that's nothing new. We'll have some fun with that, so

I stay right there. I think the judge is setting up a sensible system where there will be a review of these documents to see whether any are covered by the attorney client privilege, and those will be excluded, and that's proper, But most of these documents will not be You'll recall that I made that suggestion on this show and Jeffrey said it was a terrible idea. It was a terrible idea and unnecessary. It's a good idea. Well,

I think I still think it's a good idea. Look, you're gonna have judge or somebody assigned by the judge to look through the papers, and I hope he's right. If there's nothing that's lawyer client privilege here, let the prosecutors see it all. Let them prosecute. But if they find communications between a lawyer and a client that all legitimate, no FBI agents should get to see that and leak it. The dirsh laying it down versus CNN's uh shockingly inept

in my opinion, legal analyst Jeffrey Tuban. But nonetheless, uh Durst was given a bit of a buck slab. Perhaps we could say it theirst slap um, But that was what was happening there. Uh. Now they might have this other person, they might have some set up where they don't allow they don't allow those who are prone to leak, for example, to get their hands on the information the first place. And that's very important here, especially when you're talking about such a high profile I mean, it doesn't

get more high profile than this does it. And he might have folks that think that, okay, it's attorney client privilege information, but they want to even the score a little bit against Trump. We've seen We're not paranoid. They are out to get us. We've seen plenty of this against Trump. One more thing on this, Uh, I just

saw the breaking news. Rudy Giuliani best known by me for being the guy who cleaned up New York City when I was there, when I was a kid there and it was a really dangerous place for a large US city, A lot of bad stuff going on in the early nineties in New York rough time. Juliani cleaned it up. He has now joined the legal team that Trump has put together. So Juliani is, in fact, Uh, Giuliani is in fact the guy who is getting added

onto the roster. Now Giuliani knows Muller, so that'll be interesting. And the reporting at least from CNNY year is that Giuliani may ask for essentially a list of compliance material that they would need to bring the investigation to a close and try to speed this thing up. How effective can Rudy be in this whole thing. I'm affective with Giuliani be and trying to want to help Trump and protect his flank on all this and also to speed things long. I don't know, you know, Rudy has been

I don't think he's been. I know he's been a security consultant, does a lot of TV stuff. I don't think he's been practicing much in the way a law at a long time. But I could I could be wrong on that. Uh So we shall see. But yeah, Giuliani has joined the Trump defense team. Left the breaking breaking news. Giuliani joins Trump defense team. So there is that Patrick in Wabash, Indiana? Did I say that right? Patrick? Yeah? Whoa, Hey, Yeah, we're here, man. We can all hear you. Wabash or

Wabash Wabash. I was close. I want to ask a question that's I have been asked by anybody, and I don't know. I thought, but it's it's true, Hillary Obama and it all call me and such. Why shouldn't they be prosecuted for conspiracy to overturn the United States? Because if that's what they can do with their lives and successfully get Trump out of office, they could do it to anybody. Well, Patrick, I I appreciate where your heart

is in this one. But if we couldn't get if we couldn't get charges against Hillary for over a hundred instances of classified on her home Brew server, and all the lies and all the destruction of evidence that followed it, Um, we're not I don't think we're gonna get on a complicated overturning the government charge never mind. I'm not sure that's something that could even be proven under any circumstances.

But I do appreciate your calling in from Indiana. I had one more thing I wanted to get here to the dirt because it is important. Um playlip nine. Please. You never can have a crime with the intent is the whole thing. You have to have an illegal act, and you can't have an illegal act when the president acts within his constitutional authority. You can't have an act that is both constitutionally authorized under Article one under Article two, and at the same time is criminal. And you must

have an act. As Grays, you must have any illegal act, and it would undercut the power of the president to start questioning why he pardoned, why he fired. Once he did it and it's within his authority, you can't question, just like you can't question a senator for his vote on the Senate floor, and you can't question a judge for their vote in the Supreme Court. You know, It's kind of like, uh, you know, in the NFL, there's

some things that that cannot be reviewed. And even if you think, oh man, that guy's food was out of bound, you're like, well, I can't be reviewed, right, we all know the rules. This is not non There are rules we all know. And Ther's just saying here and he's going up against Tube and there as well that you can't There is not any scenario where the president's decision to fire, because the president can fire for any reason.

So if the president can fire, call me for any reason, how can the president's firing of Comey be a prosecutable act? The answers that can't be. So what the heck are they even talking about? The answer that is, they don't you know, the Democrats don't even know. They just want to take Trump down. Uh, We've got some interesting news on North Korea that makes me think that this may

actually get further down, further down field. To borrow from our NFL analogy, here, further downfield and people would have anticipated. So I've got some stories for you on that, plus the wisdom of Kanye and the stupidity of Cuomo. That's coming up. You're gonna wanna stay around for it. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. M You are now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All programs must

be kept strictly. Need to know Team Bucket is cleared and ready for the buck Brief. We hope to see the day when the whole Korean peninsula can live together in safety, prosperity, and peace. This is the destiny of the Korean people who deserve and have gone through so much over the years. We hope it all works out. We'll be trying very hard. I want to thank the Prime Minister for his inside and support over the past year as we have pursued the dream of a peaceful,

nuclear free Korea. Shinzo, you have worked very hard along with us and all of our people, and we thank you very much, and we're with you, and you're a lot closer than we are, but we're working on this together. We are weeks away from what is anticipated to be one of the biggest foreign policy and diplomacy gambles of the last twenty years um, and that's just I'm just taking a wild guest there. I mean, you could take this back probably the Berlin Wall. In terms of the

geopolitical ramifications. North Korea is the single most authoritarian, most totalitarian state on the planet. It is the most disturbing rogue state when it comes to its weapons programs, the most isolated from the international community, and the most militaristic even more so than Iran or others in its rhetoric.

And the President of the United States right now, despite all of the naysayers and the people that have aligned against whatever foreign policy movie makes, has decided that he is going to approach this with fresh eye days and engage in what could honestly be And I'm not trying to, you know, take a line from what you might have heard on The Apprentice here, but this would be the most high stakes negotiation of Donald Trump's life. I think

that that's pretty clear. If he sits down with Kim Jong on face to face and they have a discussion about the future of that country. Doesn't get any bigger than that, because the possibility if this fails, and we need to put this into the proper context so we understand why these discussions have so much writing on them. If this fails, the prospect of a war with North Korea at some point in the not distant future UH gets larger with each passing day, becomes much more serious

and much more likely. So the President United States has decided to embark on this path, and it would be an amazing thing, wouldn't it. After I mean, we could go back on Google and we could look at the tweets and see journalists who were saying Trump's Twitter accounts gonna start a nuclear war with North Korea, you know, calling him a little rocketman. Remember that one, a little rocket man that's going to get aust into hot water with North Korea, And there's going to be huge ramifications

from it. What if Trump is the one that manages to put the Korean Peninsula on a path to stability where you don't have the North constantly threatening not just retaliation against the US for any active aggression that it sees, but UH trying to enforce its will upon South Korea at the point of a sword. It would be a game changer. And we have more information now about just

what we can expect from UH these talks. But first I want to I want to note that this is not just the result of a gamble that Trump took by setting up these direct talks. It's also a policy response that he's had in place. You have tougher sanctions now on North Korea that at any point previously, more sanctions that target those who try to help them evade sanctions, and going after vessels that are used to do transhipment

of North Korean goods. And this is all very smart policy, and it is also bearing it is also bearing out its effects here. And remember this is what the president that we're told doesn't know anything. He's an agramus on foreign policy. Meanwhile, his sanctions regime against North Korea is better than anything that we have seen previously. And you'd

probably like to think why is that. Well, maybe the Obama administration, for example, didn't want things to get two tends with North Korea because they didn't ever want to have to actually use the stick, just the carrot, right, they didn't want to have to come down on North Korea if there was some kind of a reciprocal action taken by Kim Jong un meant to you know, rattle us, you know, we put sanctions on him. He decides to come back at us with some things. So the sanctions

are critical. Play clip two. We have come a long way with North Korea. We were, as you know, and when I say we, for many years, they've been talking to North Korea and nothing's happened. They should have been taken care of by past administrations when they were not nearly so far along. But we put unbelievably powerful sanctions on and many other things. He's right about the previous administrations, and that includes Republican administrations, bipartisan failure in the issue

of North Korea. You know what the safe move was was a North Korea keep keep more or less the policy or predecessor, whether it was Obama with Bush or Bush with Clinton, or keep whatever was there before, and don't rock the boat too much, stay within with the foreign policy the so called foreign policy smart set says you should do. You know, don't do anything that puts you in a position where you could be held accountable for a man ager disruption of the status quo and

the fallout from it. And start talking to fall out. You can think nuclear fallout too. Um Trump is like enough is enough, No more kicking the can down the road on North Korea. Let's let's take this head on. You know, you've had Comy sank to Comy out there on his media tour and he's talking about political courage. You know what political courage is. It's when you don't

have to tackle something as an elected official. You can leave it for the next guy and protect your poll numbers, but you would rather protect an ally global stability and thirty thousand plus American troops in South Korea and whoever else we'd have to get involved with. Things really hit the fan in dealing with Pyeong yang. That's what political

courage actually is. It's not writing a book when you're gonna get a lot of money for it and a lot of press and attention, and you're going to be messing up a current administration for your own personal gain. That's not courage. Saying despite all the so called foreign policy conventional wisdom which has been arrayed against Trump in on almost every issue where he's decided to go his own way, right, it's not like he can say, well,

some agreed with the some don't. Whenever Trump steps away from the consensus opinion, whether it's on trade, is the is the big one and now we're seeing in North Korea as well. There's a bipartisan backlash against him, but he believes that it's necessary and he's gonna lead. You know, Leadership implies being out front, being first in the line, and for Trump that means sitting across from Kim Jong

un and perhaps striking a deal. I mentioned there was a news update on it, and and I wanted to actually give you what that was. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, according to the New York Times and other well, I was gonna say reputable sites, but however reputable you think they are, has decided that there will no longer be the upfront demand the prerequisite of a removal of all U S troops from the Korean peninsula from I mean from South Korea. Right, we don't have troops in North Korea,

so from South Korea. So Kim Jong un is now officially and this has com do us through UH intermediaries in the well, through the press, I believe I said that. Yeah, South Korea's President Moon j In has told us this that there is not the precondition of all U S troops have to leave South Korea, which had been the case. And this so this is a change. This shows a serious willingness to negotiate. Right. That was a nonstarter. That was a deal breaker. There was the possibility, and I

had thought that it might come into play here. I couldn't rule it out that Kim Jong un was going to say, hold on a second, before we really get to anything, we need you to agree to take all U S troops off the Korean penins because then it becomes this game of well, how do we verify whether they really whether they're cheating on their nuclear regime or not, you know, whether they've actually gotten rid of everything they've

said they've gotten rid of. And if we don't have troops in the Korean peninsula, we have way less leverage, especially if things got really ugly, really fast between North and South Korea. So that was a nonstarter. That's not on the that's not a problem anymore. That's off the table. So this is another positive sign. I'm not trying to get ahead of things. I know this is gonna be very tough, but it is the biggest negotiation of this president's life, no question about it, and the benefits could

be huge. It could really affect our relationship with China in positive ways, which could affect our economy in positive ways, or that you've got to think of the second order effects that could come from this, And I think in this instance you'll see it's very very important. Um, the Governor New York is trying to show everyone he's woke, and we are going to discuss in just a few minutes here how unwoke he is. He's very very into

big a social jot. You'll see. You'll see just a few stay with me, whether you're drinking it's straight up on the rocks or mixing it into your favorite margarita. G four tequila is simply the best you can get out there on the market right now. G four is the pinnacle of master distiller for Leape Camarina's passion for crafting truly great tequila. What I think you're gonna remember about G four is that it's it has this incredible process where it uses fifty harvested rainwater and fifty fifty

spring water. The rainwater is harvested from the advanced rain collection system that was built into the roof at L. Pandio Distillery, and the spring water comes from a spring right on the ranch. This brings a distinctive, clear crisp smell and flavor to G four, it sets it apart from all the rest. Try for yourself and see I

love drinking it. I think you really enjoy it. To visit G four Tequila dot com for more details, or give them a like on Facebook at facebook dot com slash G four tequilas that's G four tequila dot com. Craft your own luxury. You want to talk about undocumented and the way they torture the docta children. I'm an Italian American. I came from poor Italian Americans who came here. You know what they called Italian Americans back in the day, They called them wops. You know what whops stood for

without papers. I'm undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person, start with me, because I'm an undocumented person. The governor of New York is apparently a more on. He gives speeches that he thinks sound good until the words leave his mouth and then he realizes he is a buffoon of the highest order. That's Cuomo, the governor of one of our biggest and most important states, at least by

population and wealth. I'm not I'm not trying to hate on your Rhode Island, but not exactly carrying the same weight as New York. And this is now, this is now a thing that we're all undocumented. You're going to see more and more of this, right because it used to be we're all immigrants, and then we realized that's not really true. It's not really an accurate state. Now you're seeing, Oh, people like the governor of New York

are saying that he's undocumented and deport him. I know that he's trying to make a point here, but it's a point that's so or rather, he's doing it in so stupid a fashion that I think we gave him far too much credit to think that there's even a

point to be made. Nobody needs a hundred rounds to kill a dear Remember that was him after he decided to push for gun control legislation in New York State, and he was talking about hunting all the time, And anyone who knows anything about the Second Amendment knows that hunting has literally nothing to do with it. Would it be unconstitutional to tell people they were only allowed to use a bow and arrow, or or perhaps a Roman Empire style peelum, which is like a weaited javelin spear.

I just wanted to throw that in there because you know, fun fact of the day. Um. Yeah, actually you could require people the only hunt with whatever implements you want. Technically, at at a state level, it probably passed a federal lass as part of commerce. But but guns are not about hunting. But he doesn't care because he wants still bad fire arms. And if you'll notice, every time the Governor of New York give the speech, it's up in

the same register. It's like he doesn't think that the words will come out until they do, and then the words are out of his mouth that he said from or else stop. So so he says he's undocumented. That's clearly not true. He's the governor of New York State. Um. And then he also took this even further with the I am you know this is uh. You see this hashtag sometimes if you know, I am whatever um and and Cuomo is trying to get in on some of that. He's trying to be he's trying to be woke Cuomo.

He's trying to be woke Cuomo here. And this is what he says about all the different identities that he identifies with twenty two. As a New Yorker, I am a Muslim as a New Yorker, I am Jewish as a New Yorker, I am black, I am I am disabled. I am a woman seeking to control her health and her choices because as a New Yorker, we are one community. I have a question for you. First of all, do you own a mirror? Second of all, why are you saying something so dull? Uh? Notice how he's not a

he's not just a woman in this. I understand he's taking some uh some poetic license here with us, But notice how he's only a woman who's pro choice. That's what he's saying. He and he didn't say pro choice because it's preferential for people who are pro choice to believe it. They're really all about health, that it's a health choice. You know, some people like to have oh brand the morning. Other people like to make the terrible choice of terminating a pregnancy. It's just about health. No,

it's not. No, it's not. But that's the formulation and that he uses. Um, that's the formulation that he uses because he is a uh really a grotesque panderer. And don't ever forget that he's the same governor who there was something called the Moreland Commission. And remember, Democrats played dirty and Republicans are boy scouts who sometimes don't understand the street fight that they're in and therefore they lose. As a recurring theme, I've been hitting that with you

here on the show. But Cuomo set up the Moreland Commission, or the Moreland Commission got started and it was getting a little too close for comfort. So guess what he did with his corruption Commission. He shot it down because they were looking for corruption and c stands for Cuomo as well as corruption. So he's a guy that I think you've looked at him more, you'd find out, Oh yeah, he's dirty. He's a bad guy too. I've heard from people in New York politics that not not a nice

fellow at all. But oh we one more quote from him before I move on from this. It is just this is what you're seeing, folks. Big states, very democrats states. Now it's not enough to even be a Democrat. You have to be wearing your wokeness on your sleeve. Plate. As New Yorkers, we are especially aware of issues of diversity. We're aware of issues of intolerance because we are eighteen million people from countries all across the globe. We are probably the most diverse state on the globe. Uh And

it is the essence of who we are. And we have no tolerance for intolerance, period. And now it's going to stand up and set This gets much more interesting when you look at what he means by intolerance though. Is is it intolerant, if a for for a Christian to have traditional beliefs about marriage? Oh? Yeah, that's intolerance. Is it intolerant for someone to think that abortion is

evil and should be illegal? Oh that's intolerance. So what they mean by intolerance is actually just anything that opposes the political orthodoxy of the left. They'll find a way to shoehorn that into the intolerance category because they're they're in a constant propaganda war. They're really not in a war for ideas as such. It's not about competing goods and principles, and we're squaring off against them battlefield of ideas. Now, this is the Left presenting itself as the moral choice.

It's already been decided. They're the good guys. If you're not with them, you're the bad guy. And they're just gonna keep yelling about it. They are not looking for converts. They are hunting heretics. And that is what you see from the governor of New York State. Uh and everything that he does. But I just I couldn't help. But I am an unbocumented person. I also do not and

to say things that are very smart. My speech writer does sometimes right gobbledegook on the page because I will there is place, go up, dog cat move, Hey, not funny, I'm the governor. Wait a quick break, team back with uh some thoughts from the one and only philosopher of our age? Who is it? Who is it? You'll have to stay and I'll let you know. I looked for

wisdom wherever I can find it. I like to spend as much of my time as I can acquiring more knowledge but inside about life and being able to leverage the life philosophy of others is something that I think we should all seek to seek to gain right. We should look for those who have insights on on just the day to day. I'm not talking about the deep philosophy like the meaning of life or religion. I just mean how you approach your job, how you approach waking

up in the morning. And I just thought it was kind of funny because I spend time looking for these things online, looking for people that have real insights, and sure enough, there's an unexpected source of what I guess you could call daily philosophy out there, Mr Kanye West. I've been reading some of Kanye recently because his Twitter account, which has a mere sixteen million followers, so a lot of folks get to see what Kanye is thinking. Uh, they can see what the what the Kanye is cooking

if you will. I guess the Rock is going to be upset about this, but he said some interesting stuff on Twitter really kind of got my attention. But he also says really weird stuff, and so it's kind of fun because you can separate out the wisdom of Kanye from the weirdness of Kanye. And that's kind of what they spent a few minutes on this before we get into a roll call, which will obviously be just all wisdom,

no weirdness, because it's coming from all of you. Like Kanye wrote, and this is just in the last couple of days, things like today will be the greatest day so far. Life keeps getting better and better. Now, you you could dismiss that as tried to be sure, But you know, isn't it better wake up and think that maybe if it's not even true, it's a worthwhile way

to approach your day, I would think. He also writes, if you want to see the true character of a person, watch the way they treat someone who can't do anything for them. Now, this is quite true. This got retweeted a hundred and sixty one thousand times. I would note, but uh, this is also well known and it is obvious. And I will tell you that whenever I have seen someone who has acted badly towards someone that I knew wouldn't be able to stand up for themselves or retaliate

in any way, I'm never able to. I've never able to let that go entirely about that person's character. You know that that, to me is very very telling. And people say this like, oh, pay attention to how someone treats those who serve them or weight on them, and uh, and those who work for them. I'm very proud of the fact, although may be proud is too strong a word, because it's also just what I would expect for myself.

But I've never of all the people that I have, uh, that I've had work for me in some capacity in my ears and media. I've never mistreated any of them. So that's something that I take pride in. How about that? Um? Other things that Kanye. They're going back to the philosophy of Kanye West, he wrote, be Les, this is just the last couple of days he's been like an online philosophy tear. I'm just trying to share it with you.

You know, Kanye is a Some of you will say he's a megalomaniac and overrated and all that, and whether or not that's true, He's an interesting fellow. He's an interesting fellow. Um, he wrote, Let's be less concerned with ownership of ideas. It is important that ideas see the light of day, even if you don't get the credit for them. Let's be let's let's be less concerned with credit awards and external validation. Um. This little zen, little

zen for Kanye. I think here is somebody who makes a living in the creative space and who relies on intellectual property law to allow him to be so wealthy. I'm not sure this idea of just put your ideas out there and let anyone have them, just put them out in the universe. Man I don't think that's good advice. I'm just gonna say, uh, where, there's some other ones here that were really oh here, Oh wait, where did it go? Where did my Where did Kanye go? It

disappeared for a second off my screen. But I've got more. I'm up here. Uh. It's not where you take things from, it's where you take them to. Okay, that's a fortune cookie. That that's a fortune cookie. We don't have to spend much time on that one. Uh. And then there's one in particular that in life. Oh, here we go. In life, we are all trained actors. When we're born, we're ourselves.

And then one of the first things were thought is how to act if you see a kid screaming at a restaurant because he feels something and can't express himself in a conventional manner, where the kids just a just a baby. Um. Then Kanye writes, I can't argue this one. Stop lying about stuff, just stop lying. And oh here's here's a particularly uh interesting one. You will be a drop of water with the ocean as your army. If you move out of fear, then you move on your own.

Then it's just you and the money and the countless people you have lied to and manipulate to build a man made path that will never leave the true happiness. Uh what does that mean? I don't really know, but I just me. I just know that Kanye is something of a Twitter philosopher now. And uh, I've been enjoying some of the insights and the really really random stuff courtesy of Mr Kanye West. Like I said, I look for insight everywhere, folks, and with that your insights coming

up in Roll Call. It's been quite a week out here on the West Coast, the Left Coast, my first time ever in San Diego, hoping that I can at least go take a quick peek at the beach in La Joya, which sounds like a lovely place before I have to head back on an airplane and get back into the fight in New York City. Man, traveling is tiring. I gotta say, you know, the whole traveling salesman thing. Those guys were gals earn their money though it's a lot,

and airline travels also just it's just a bummer. It just is. You know. Maybe one day, well I'll have buck Force one and I'd like to think it's like a g seven or something, but it will probably be a a prop plane. Um, then I'll have to learn to fly it myself. But Buck Force one is a goal of the future. It'd probably be more likely a hang glider even you know, not even motorized. But I need some set of of wheels for the sky, if

you will. And now with that completely nonsensical interlude, let's get into your much more sensible commentary, your thoughts, your questions, analysis of all things. It's time for some roll call. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll call. See some of you love the dub step, so I gotta put the dub step in. If some of you are such big fan, I know others of you are not. Scrill X was the most famous dub step DJ that I knew of at least, and he I don't see as much of

him anymore. All right, now let's get into it. If you want to write to me, by the way, if you want to be a part of this final segment of the show. Uh it is Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton or official Team Buck at g mail dot com. Uh. Let's go. Let's go into uh Seth who writes Buck. I'm a couple of days behind you on the podcast. But I heard you are in San Diego. Are you having any meet and Greek opportunities for fans? Shields high uh, seth.

Nothing planned, but I will be wandering around downtown, popping into random bars and and hanging out tonight, and I'm sure i'll be tweeting out or instagramming. And if you don't follow me on Instagram, it's just Buck Sexton on Instagram. So it's mostly photos of me doing work and then photos of Ms Molly because she's way prettier than I am. Uh,

And that's pretty much my Instagram. And and dogs dogs, me doing media stuff Miss Molly that is a pretty compret Oh and food occasionally, but not my only food that I cook, not food that someone else cooks for me, right, because I'm not a savage. If I make a perfectly seared ribbi using my cast iron at home, if I have the the appropriate amount of coated seasoning around it, ample salt and pepper, if I really get that caramelization of the meat on the yeah, then I'll share that

on Instagram. But I'm not gonna sit there and be like, oh, look at this, I've got a kale beat salad with goot cheese and extra virgin olive oil. That's someone else put. No, no, that's just for me to eat in, you know, in front of me eating my ribbi, or rather ahead of me eating my ribbi. Uh So, anyway, seth. Hopefully I'll maybe we'll we'll bump into each other tonight at some point with some of the rest of the team. But

I'm gonna be one around downtown San Diego. If you see a guy looks like a lost tourist wearing a hoodie, because I'm trying to fit out here in Cali Fornia, Mark Zuckerberg style. I'm rocking a a hipster hoodie today. Um, that will be me. So please come over and say hi. Next up, we've got Adam. All right, Hey Buck, I just want to say you've inspired me to start speaking my mind about current events, history, philosophy, and how all

these things relate back to promoting freedom. Started on Facebook, page, Twitter, etcetera, etcetera. Thanks so much for continue to inspire others. Well, Adam, that's a really high compliment, my friend, And I'm so glad that you feel in any way what I do here on this show. My My My Day, to day passion my life's work. Uh. If it inspires you to do your own version of the Freedom hudd or if you feel like now you're empowered to just share your thoughts more family and friends and or um put a

platform out there where you're doing your own analysis. That's great and it's very very high praise indeed, and uh keep at it and shields high, Uh, Daniel, next up, I enjoy your show. Hopefully sank to comis sank to comy and all its grammatical forms become part of our language. You're a clear voice among the babble. Well, Daniel, you are a man who understands clarity when he hears it. So thank you so much for your time, message and

your support. You know, on days like today, where I'll be honest with you, I've been driving around, running around just lots and lots of meetings, and I can't give you any previews really of what the meetings are gonna are, what they're about. But I can tell you that we've just got a lot of projects in mind for the Freedom hut here also knowne as the Buck Sexton Show, that will be coming your fruition soon, and there's gonna be more audio additions to what we do here, and

more video additions to what we do here. It is all in the mix. It is it is getting done. And by the way, also, all of you who have decided to check out some of our sponsors on the show, I've been getting feedback about that. It just it helps so much. And there's no bigger vote of confidence you can give for what I'm doing day in and day out than when I read off uh some ideas or some some copy points give you a U r L to go to for one of our sponsors. Check them out, please,

because that's the way. Look, that's the way we fund all the projects we're doing, including the future expansions of the Hut, And it really means a lot. And those of you who have been doing it, and there are a lot of you really appreciate, and those of you haven't yet, please give it some thought and with that we will go to Sarah here. Roll call is always fun, but even more so when I hear my own stuff. Sarah,

She's in the roll call feed now. Fun to feel connected somehow, as I listened to the last ninth show and realized I wasn't the only one who caught it. I thought perhaps you might feel glad we all listen so carefully. Yes, Sarah, there was a bit of a preview that was unintended of perhaps Buck spending more time in our nation's capital starting very soon. So, like I said, neither confirmed nor deny. But those of you who mistic can go back and listen on the podcast and you

can make up your own minds about it. Uh, let's see we have. I I gotta say, I don't know how to how to pronounce this. Let me know when you get to San Diego, big fan here, Well, I uh thank you, and I'm here, So there you go. And I'm gonna be downtown tonight in San Diego. Wandered around probably whatever the best seafood restaurant in San Diego is, that is probably where I will be tonight. So whatever that is. I'm an oyster guy. I'm a seafood guy.

And Ms Molly hates all that stuff. Loves tuna. I mean there's some seafood she likes, but it does not like any of the raw shellfish. So when I'm when we're separated, she had to go back to New York. When we're separated, I tend to really indulge my inner post sidon so poetic bucks so poetic. Uh. Dr Lee, Hey, Dr Lee, have heard from you in a while. That's really nice. Dr Lee is one of my OSS squad here and she's got more degrees than I have, uh fingers on my hands, she writes in as always love

the show. Shout out to my fellow OSS peeps from Dr Lee today. I was especially moved by the story you shared about the young man who realized how self involved he was and ultimately changed his attitude. Thankfully, I work at a university allows me to even encourage me uh to share my faith with students. Thus, every morning at the beginning of class, I have spiritual reflections where I share inspirational stories. Today I use this story as

our time to reflect on compassion for others. Since today's topic was on energy balance and obesity. Because of this story, I think they will look at Obesi with a different set of eyes shields. I can't wait to see all in Austin. Well, Dr Lee, I'll certainly give you a heads up when I'm gonna be down in the Austin area working on that trip uh, and I'm hopefully gonna

be bringing it to fruition. Maybe not this summer because it's like a little hot in Austin over the summer, but the fall, like October, maybe November be like a great time for me to go check out what's going on in Austin, I think, um, but might be sooner than that too. And yeah, I thought that story that

guy told was really moving. And you know I I still um, yeah, there's there's a couple of stories that it reminded me of that I might share with you later on later on, Well it wouldn't be this week, but next week. Um. And I will tell you that one thing that I've I've really never been able to shake. It's just me sharing some truth, sharing some of my truth with you here, which I try to do all

the time. But this is on a personal side. Is whenever I have mistreated somebody who has been good to me, and even a small way, I have a really hard time with that, meaning that I remember it for for years and I always want to make amends. And fortunately, I will say I think the incidents are few and far between, but I mean even kind of more minor ones, you know, or before I got into media, if anyone when I was in the agency or before that, you know,

kind of looked up to me and I didn't. Yeah, I didn't live up to the expectation of one where or another or not even the expectation. Just live up to my own standards. So it's important always always keep in mind those around you who are trying to show you kindness in respect, and they may not be doing it in the way that you necessarily would assume they would, right, and they may not be. They may not be the

smoothest or the coolest and how they do it. But you know, never forget the person that does a little a little nice thing here or there for you. Um and and always try to be thankful for it. Uh we have, Eric, He writes, hope you're enjoying the Left Coast. I was trying to think of something to challenge you with for movie quote Friday, and I was wondering, did you ever catch Boondocks Saints? I guarantee you'll be entertained or your money back. I will literally reimburse you for
