The country laid to rest a great man today, a former president, a warrior, a family man. We will talk about what was said in the funeral of George HW. Bush, and also updates on the Muller probe, the sentencing of General Flynn. You know more about that and much more coming up on

the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American, You're a great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember to email. He had a circle of friends with whom he shared or received the latest jokes. His grading system for the quality of the joke was classic George Bush. The rare sevens and eighth were considered huge winners, most of them

off color. George Bush knew how to be a true and loyal friend. He nurtured and honored many his many friendships with a generous and giving soul. There exists thousands of handwritten notes encouraging or sympathizing or thanking his friends and acquaintances. He had an enormous capacity to give of himself. Many a person would tell you that Dad became a mentor and a father figure in their life. He listened

and he consoled. He was their friend. That was Bush forty three, George W. Speaking about his father who, as he passed away just a few days ago to day of morning today in the country officially laid the president to arrest the National Cathedral at a ceremony where former former and current presidents, where current president were in attendance.

And there's a moment of reflection. I think about the the end of an eraor not just of George H. W. Bush as a man and as somebody who was so involved in the history of this country in many ways, but also for a certain style and type of leadership. The veterans of the Second World War, for example, when you think of men like Bob Dole and George H. W. Bush, you know, men who served and were part of what we consider the Greatest Generation, would still called the greatest generation.

There is a national reverence for that. That is one of the few things these days that feels like it somewhat transcends partisan lines, not always, not entirely. And we'll talk a bit about some of the unfortunate part is in sniping that has occurred as this ceremony was under

way and in the days leading up to it. But it was also one of those moments when you could see people who we're all we know best from the public stage as politicians, as as leaders, as people of service to the nation, but also of power and influence. And you know, you saw George Bush today as as just a guy who lost his dad, And that was first and foremost. What was was coming across during much of the eulogy is something that we can all sympathize with.

Whenever you see somebody who's lost to family member. It's at that most basic human level of the emotion that you know you would feel or have felt from losing a family member in your own life. It's something that happens to all of us. It's part of human condition. But that inherent suffering that comes with the loss of family members is also one of those areas of life that in a strange way, it brings us all together.

It's it's pain that we can all understand and all all respect that what that means and what one is going through. And along with the celebration, and there were celebratory aspects of the eulogy today as well. I mean I've I remember I've been to a I went to a couple of funerals growing up for peers, friends of

mine too, in particular that come to mind. That was very different in the sense that those funerals, those were people who were one was in high school, one was in college, and it was a remembrance, and there was a celebration aspect of those lives and how they touched their family members and their friends. But obviously lives cut way too short with George H. W. Bush and doesn't get any I mean, a life doesn't get any fuller, richer,

more impactful than this in many ways. I mean, okay, some of you would say, Buck, come on, you know Jesus. I mean there are people that yeah, but you know, you know, the man just passed away. This is when you're eulogizing somebody, you'll say things like it doesn't get any life does not get any richer than this, and we don't have to actually measure out what lives may have been more impactful. Bush forty three also had some some more you know, just a regular guy touches that

he added into things today. Plick clip one at age ninety, George H. W. Bush parachuted out of an aircraft and landed on the grounds of Saint Anne's by the Sea and Kenny Budport, Maine, the church where his mom was married and where he worshiped often. I would like to say he chose a location just in case the shooting. No. In his nineties, he took great delight when his closest pal, James A. Baker, smuggled a bottle of Gray Goose vodka

into his hospital room. Apparently it paired well with the state Baker had delivered from Morton's to his very last Day's Dad's life was instructive, so laughter coming together of the people there, and that that part of it was all the man. The man got the celebration of his life that he deserved today, and I think it was it was nice for the country. I had friends who went to pay their respects here in DC and we're talking about and showing photos and videos of the lines,

lines stretching so very long. You know, yesterday I spoke about how I don't ever like the notion of forced reverence for political figures, and I do have concerns about the elevation of our political class into something that becomes uncomfortably close to a nobility. But that's a broader discussion. It's not just brought on by what's happened here with George H. W. Bush and the way that people are talking about him. And there are ways that that people

are affected by individuals that they didn't know and never met. That. I mean, I can completely respect. There have been, you know, one or two authors that passed away who for me I remember a sense of of loss, not deeply personal loss, but you know, their work had had enough of a of an influence on my life that the recognition that they would be no more and there would be no more of their words to read. You know that that took a moment. You know, some of them gave me

a you know, Christopher Hitchens was one. I know he's rapidly anti religion, but on some issues he was brilliant. Michael Crichton, who I've mentioned you before, for pure entertainment purposes, I just loved his books, so I can understand that. And really also, in a way that might be surprising to some of you to hear Anthony Bourdain when he took his own life. I read Kitchen Confidential and just loved it as a book. And I had all these dreams, and maybe that's why these days I want to have

a little time in my hands. I try. I try to do a little more, a little more cooking, you know. I like to actually try to see if I can make some of these things that I've always wanted to learn how to make. But Bourdaine, to me, was was an example of someone who you assumed that he had

it figured out. You know, you assume that if you wanted to leave your you know, your job that you weren't crazy about, if you want to get out of the cubicle or just get a you know what, what, what better escape could you even imagine than being the guy who just goes all of the world, that cooks food and eats the food of different cultures and hangs

out with people in travels. It just seemed like everything was And then he took his own life, obviously because of tremendous pain that he was feeling that people weren't aware of. And I never met the guy, didn't know the guy, but that, you know, I know that it can send a jolt through you. Just the stories of other individuals and the way that they affect us even when we don't know them. And for those who knew hw Bush, I know this is particularly solemon. For his family, obviously,

it's a very, very sad. As much as he lived a great life, you know, it's sad people lost their dad, lost their granddad. I was not able to get to the funeral, was not the funeral today or the viewing that happened last night in the Capitol Hill, but it was certainly able to see a lot of the footage and speak to friends of mine who made it there, and it was incredible how many people came from all

over the country just to pay their respects. It's a testament, I think, to how much the American people still really do feel a kinship and connection to their leaders. And it's one that I hope we can continue into the future, even in this era of feelingly seemingly constant. Feelingly is one of those things that maybe that could be a word, feelingly seemingly constant contact with everybody in political life and now with Twitter and Facebook and all these other aspects

of it. So with that, I wanted to take a moment here to say, Okay, so that's on the plus side of US, and then now we have the media and the usage of this moment in time, the usage of this period in the country's history to score political points, to bash Trump, to take this and for the most narrow self interested purposes, use it as a use the passing of hw Bush as a platform for the advancement

of rapidly anti Trump political views. It is not surprising, but that does mean does not mean it is not troubling. We will get into that and also apologies an advanced team. I love doing this show so much and talking to you so much that I have to be dragged from the microphone no matter how ill I am. But today I'm I'm gonna be pretty much at the at the outer limits of what my voice can handle. I've gotten

really sick. I knew it was, it was going to come on pretty badly, but today it's going to be a rough one. So apologies in advance for that. You know, give me a day or two. My voice will hopefully be back to normal. But if you hear some it's going to be in a lower octave or two. You're gonna hear some break, some cracks in the voice. I'll try not to cough into the Mic, I'm in bad. I actually got worse today. Otherwise, if I had in this bad last night, I would have probably had Raheim

or Harlan or one of our friends fill in. But I will push through. We will have a fantastic show. We hold our shields high. Even if we sneeze on that shield a little bit and sniffle on it, we will hold it high. So we will come back with Morris they would be. But what becomes undeniably obvious with every bio run about Bush forty one is that stark contrast between these two many over the last two years, deviancy has continued being defined down by this current president,

his cronies, his supporters. Oh, Donald Trump is one eighty from who George H. W. Bush is. The world looked to George Bush because he was a leader, respected, he had proved himself. This president has you have to do that. This president that we have now is trying to unravel everything that he did and Obama Jack. I think he's doing this because he feels he has to do it. I can't help but wonder if there was a thought bubble over Donald Trump's head just now what he was thinking.

I have to imagine who was thinking how much the big character of the man and contrast with the small character we see we see today. George Bush believed in the institutions of government, which I think too is another reason why this moment to remember and to compare and contrast is so important, because our institutions are so under siege right now by the government itself. And that is why we celebrate George H. W. Bush's legacy and fear

the next two years of mister Trump's wild White House. Right, it's all all an opportunity to bads Trump. The funeral, the discussion about the life of George H. W. Bush. You know, just take it and pivot and bass Trump. You know you got bad weather. Blame Trump, you know, no matter what it is, is just blame Trump. That that's the that's the secret sauce that the left decides to go with here all the time. It's pretty pathetic,

but I guess they really can't can't help themselves. Um, they really do think that this president that they say things like destroying all these normsum destroying all these norms. And then I was wondering, like how by by using Twitter or mean, what what what norms is? What is Trump doing that. There wasn't a norm established of sexual propriety in the White House that Trump destroyed. Bill Clinton destroyed any notion of sexual propriety in the White House

or you know, proper sexual behavior. So that's not a thing. So I don't really want to hear from libs about that. And by the way, Trump hasn't done anything bad when

it comes to that while he's in office. They're just you know, there's some allegations of infidelity from his pre presidential era, which I would also note, you know, Kennedy was a was a complete you know, lady Chase and maniac JFK and Teddy too, I mean, all these guys, so that that's not really when they're talking about a presidency and norm busting and what exactly do they mean.

I find that a really interesting exercise when you ask angry liberals about this, because they never get into specifics. You're never told what the thing is that they say, Oh, well, he's he says things about a ongoing criminal investigation, and then I'll say to them, I had this experience with David Frum, who thinks himself as a very erudite and thoughtful fellow. He said it's you know, it's it's just he's used the word unprecedented, so I do pardon me.

I took the bait. He said to me, it's unprecedented what Trump is doing here speaking about an ongoing investigation. I said unprecedented, as in Barack Obama saying there's nothing to Hilary's email investigation while she's running for the presidency. Rock Omama said that there's nothing to it. So it's not unprecedented, and it's not a standard that Trump is destroyed. So what are the standards that Trump is destroyed by fighting back against the media. I played the clip for you.

George H. W. Bush told Dan rather than rightfully so, that he had nothing to be proud of that night, that he was trying to go after him on TV. So you know what is is this is just an echo chamber. It's an echo chamber of people in the establishment media who view Trump as a threat to them, and they preferred the era of hw Bush because he adhered to these rules that allow the media to get away with all kinds of things. Here's another person over

at CNN and play fifteen. While President Trump's name was never said in any of the speeches, the tributes to former President Bush. Every word, every adjective, every anecdote stood in stark contrast to this presidency. And I think we're going to be talking a lot about that. And and I genuinely don't think it was intentional at this general. I think it was just describing the late president for forty first president, and it is it is what it is correct when it in making the tribute, it was

another time, another person, and it couldn't have been more stark. Well, they're the ones making this comparison, but you know, every word is in contrast to Trump, and I don't think that that's I don't think that's true. And I also don't think that everything has to be about Trump all the time. I mean, maybe that's just me. Maybe I'm naive and thinking that we can have a conversation about something that is not Trump related with the media at some point in time. But also they were you know

that you can't leave this out. They trash Push forty one trashed and when he was president, oh, you know, they constantly he was you know, he was uh, he was a plutocrat, and he was a warmonger. You know, he was stiff, He was boring, he was this, he was that. You know, they weren't, they weren't favorable. This this after the fact nostalgia for Republicans, whether it's McCain or Bush forty one, this is just opportunism from the establishment media, just using these as baseball bats to go

after the Trump administration. And you know, I wish these people had some honor, some dignity, some integrity so they wouldn't feel the need to do this all the time. But we know that they do. We know that they do. We'll talk about Flynn and Muller and the probe coming up here in a moment. That and more. Team. If you're right back, he's holding the line for America, buck sext in his back. Unlike any other club that's nearly as exclusive as this one, they don't get to pick

their members. We do. This is a very very different group of people, and yet we have decided to bring them together in this fraternity and it, you know, something changes about how they relate to each other. And you sort of saw that, you know, what did you make of the dynamic once you saw it? Well, one thing that was tricky, I think is that if there's a mission of that group. It is to protect the institution

of the presidency. When you have a new number of this club who has taken a blowtorch to the institution, and not by accident, quite intentionally. It's the promise he made when he ran. So this is someone on MSNBC who's the former editor or editor of Time magazine in case you didn't know how liberal Time magazine was, and Je Prouser mic grab this one for me in the break is a perfect sample of it. Taking a blowtwards to the institution, the presidency. This is something that that

stupid people in the media say to sound smart. What does that mean? How taking a blow towards how you know? The criticisms that I had of the Obama administration of Obama himself were criticisms of generally things he did or policies he was pushing for. It wasn't I just don't like the way Obama is in general acting about you know, his day to day blow towards to the institution the presidency. That's quite a charge to make, isn't it. I would

like some specifics. And what I always notice is when I've asked liberals and this, I get the chance to do this on The Hill Show. Sometimes, can you just give me some specifics of what backs up this assessment that you have. They tend to be indignant, They tend to be outraged, very very upset about just what exactly

I'm what am I getting at? You know, I said, well, I mean, if you're gonna say that the president is destroying the presidency, I just I just wish you could give me some examples of how he's doing that that don't involve conspiracy theories and fantasies about Russia collusion or other things that normal sane people don't put any stock in. And that then makes me think about Russia collusion. Here

here you go. There, there's there's different views of this out there, you know what I want to Even you had tube In over at CNN and Flynn over not Flynn mud over at CNN. They're all saying, oh, you know, the other shoe is gonna drop. You know the other shoe is not gonna drop. But speaking of dropping things, they won't drop this this hoax. They won't let it go.

We got Greg Jared joining later on to talk about the specifics of the Muller probe from this week, including the Flynn, no jail time recommendation and all that, And I'll get into some of that just a moment here. And I'm also gonna in this break drink copious amounts of t I'll be right back. Remember James Comey, Director of the FBI, fire, Deputy Director McCabe lied three times under oath, fired, Chief Council to the FBI Jim Baker demoted, then left. FBI Council Lisa Page demoted then left, and

Deputy Head of Counterintelligence Peter Struck demoted then fired. But even those five people thought Mike Flynn didn't lie when he was interviewed by the FBI. Only Bob Muller did. And now this is what happened. So we got to keep this in context. The top people to the FBI all demoted, left or fired, who launched and ran the Clinton investigation, launched and ran the Russian investigation, put the fake dossier in front of the fire suc court to

get a warrant to spound the Trump campaign. Even they didn't think Mike Flynn lied when he was being interviewed by the FBI. And now Bob Mueller is saying he should get the most lenient sentence possible, but they still have the information he gave him. We'll find out what that is when we get the unredacted version. I agree wholeheartedly here with everything him Jordan's saying. General Flynn should be fully pardoned. No question about that. Flynn should be pardoned.

And I have no inside track on this, but I thoroughly believe that Flynn will be pardon I believe President Trump will will clear him legally of any lasting now. He still has been essentially bankrupted, his reputation has been greatly damaged. But at least he will not have to live his life as a felon. He will not have to live his life with that March after thirty years of serving his country. A non an unimportant and minor lie, if a lie at all, told the people that under

the circumstances. I don't even think Flynn really knew. We're trying to ask him questions that could later, you know that he could turn around and be prosecuted for I thought he's just speaking to f behind guys. You know, he works to them all the time. You know, I do wonder about this. When I was in the CIA, I mean you know I was, I was a federal

an officer of the federal government in some way. So if somebody the CIA lied to me, could I you know, well, I guess I'm not a part of a criminal proceeding, and I don't know. I just wonder where the where the boundaries are here. I mean, so if you're in law enforcement, if you're in federal law enforcement, even lies to you, you you can prosecute them, even if it's for something that's really really unimportant, which is what happened here. I don't I don't even think Flynn lied. I think

that they just jammed him up. And the fact that they're giving him no jail time, I believe that it's not because of his cooperation. I think it's because Mueller essentially turned Flint upside down, wrung out his pockets, you know, really really did everything he could and didn't get anything and doesn't want to add to the sense of outrage that those of us who have any sense of justice or decency feel at what was done to General Flynn. That's where I think this really this is a that's

where I think this all comes together. That's what is pushing some of this. But you know, we also and Jim Jordan spoke about this, and I think it's important for us all to remember there is this sense that there's a two tier justice system, that Democrats and Republicans are not treated the same way and should not expect, unfortunately, because of the history, to be treated the same way when they are highly politicized investigations. And that's also you

know what the whole Hillary fiasco shows us. There's no serious person who could say that Hillary Clinton did not receive orders of magnitude better treatment, more favorable treatment from the federal government investigating her very real violation of the US Federal Statute, which she did. So, not only was she treated much more gently in the investigative process, she

got away with committing crimes. And on the other side, you have somebody like General Flynn who was treated as harshly as possible in terms of at least bringing charges and putting him through all of this and didn't even commit a crime. Jim Jordan understands this. Plack Cliff nine, James Comey was saying he didn't want to come testify him in a closed door session with Congress because it leaks.

This is the guy who leaked the information to the New York Times to create the momentum for the special counsel. So come on, there's two standards, one for us regular folk, a different set if you're part of the political establishment. That's what drives Americans crazy. It's true, It's true. You know, James come who still thinks of himself as the most honest man in the country. Mean, he's really delusional. He's a pretty scary guy. He's not going to face any

consequences for this. I don't think McCabe is going to face any consequences for his lies under oath. And you know, if there is, if there is a deep state, I'm sorting to think more forget about these people that are in this anti Trump cabal that we're trying to take him down, although that's certainly is arguably a deep state

on its own. The deep state is at the federal government has been infiltrated with a mentality that Democrats should be treated you know, the federal bureaucracy, I mean, has now been overwhelm with people who believe that Democrats should be treated better and differently when it comes to matters of the justice system than Republicans. That's a very dangerous thing for the future of this country. That's something that's not going to be easy for anyone to shake off.

And it's just it's been such a disgrace as this has played out. Do you have not had you know, how is this possible? You have not had a single, a single Democrat get caught up in any of this, you know, not a single you know, to be a Democrat who faces, you know, in the Muller probe. I mean, there's no Democrats that Mueller's gone after. You know, maybe Alexvander's one, and he's not a US citizen though, but

not everybody else. It's been Republicans that he's he's been tagging left and right that he's been getting And you can't ignore that when you look back at what went on with Hillary Clinton and the aids around her, and the way that they were always just given all these opportunities to just speak with lawyers president and I know, not really have anyone interrogate them. And they wrote it was with The fix was in. It was in from

the very beginning. As you know, Matt Gates, who's a member of Congress, he sees this for what it is

play clip eleven. We would not even be talking about Michael Flynn right now, if it were not for the initial interviews he did with wait for it, Peter Struck, the very same Peter Struck who had the insurance policy against the Trump presidency, the same Peter Struck who said no will stop him, and most importantly, the same Peter Struck who, when talking to his girlfriend ten months into this investigation, after Michael Flynn's story had already been told,

was saying, there's no they're there. There's no evidence of collusion with Michael Flynn or President Trump or anyone else. This whole thing is a joke. Michael Flynn won't be facing any prison time, but he would have faced no legal jeopardy at all if he just wouldn't have pled guilty, because they would have never gotten a conviction with Peter Struck as their star witness. He raised a very good point. Peter Struck was the one. I mean, you know the

FBI just remember this is a huge place. Okay, They've got tens of thousands of agents and personnel. Notice how at every key node in the Russia collusion and Hillary email fiasco, the same names pop up. Struck Page, McCabe, Coomy, Struck Page, McCabe, Kobe. These people are the ones you know, Bruce or Sally Yates. They are involved in all these

different touch points. They're the ones that are in the excuse me, they're the ones that somehow are in the most important point of access and have the most leverage on these issues. That's not an accident. It's not an accident. And that's Struck one thing that I would like to know and I need to look into this. Did struct just take notes because a lot of times FBI A didn't do that. They take notes of the conversation, they

don't record the conversation. If that's the case, then we have somebody who is a admitted clear anti Trump, hyperpartisan with Peter Struck, who was sitting down with the National Security Advisor to be for the Trump administration, and based on his note taking, which is really just his good word, whatever he decided to write down, you had the felony

indictment of a three star general, Lieutenant General Flynn. Our two star general was the three star two star Pardon me, I might have gotten that one wrong, but you know

he's lieutenant general. So that's I think very important for everybody to recognize as well that there's been the same characters involved at different points in this whole process, these same characters who are obviously anti Trump, and we're supposed to ignore this somehow, We're supposed to pretend that this hasn't all been fixed in a way that's meant to harm the Trump administration, to harm his people. Here's what

Mark Penn says about the Flinn situation play ten. The Independent Council's Office, instead of getting people to sing, is getting people to plead guilty to things so that they can build a circumstantial case against the president in a report, completely misusing the judicial process. Now, look, nineteen interviews. Would someone suggests that maybe you didn't like what he had to say in the first ten is that is an incredible number of interviews. So he got somebody wind up

and let's all relax here. If in fact General Flynn was colluding with the Russians, he wouldn't be getting no prison time. That that means, on its face, he was not colliding with the Russians. He's absolutely right, Flynn obviously wasn't including with Russians, because there's no way he would skate with no prison time, even on the false statements. Charger. That was okay. So, so Flynn didn't do anything wrong with regard to Russia collusion. That that's clear. You know,

there's really no sound counter argument to that. But you know, who definitely did something wrong, you know, who definitely violated the law in an egregious and clear fashion. Whoever leaked the contents of that Flynn conversation. That person, I'm sorry, whoever leaked the contents the conversation with Ambassador kissel Yak the Russian Ambassia. That person, by the way, had a

knowledge of the law. That person was obviously deeply anti Trump and had high level access, high level classified access. There are not that many people who fit into those categories. There are not that many people that they would have to look at in order to track down who was guilty of that violation of their oath to the country to protect classified and violation of criminal law, which is

no question. That's I mean, if you're going to leak signals intelligence to a news reporter to settle political scores, you know, you'll you'll do anything. I mean, it's such a betrayal. Where's that person? You know, do we think that Muller has spent any time looking into that made any criminal referrals he and about that now, of course not this is a Democrat, obviously, it's probably somebody senior at the DOJ. I could throw out a few guesses,

and I won't go too far. There a few names that come to mind, though, people that are anti Trump zealots, some who maybe even took anti Trump stand at one time or another very publicly at duj FBI. But they have no interest in that. They have no interest in protecting classified projecting sources and methods. This is all a

get Trump operation. And the fact that they haven't tracked out any of the criminal leagues about Rusia collusion except for one involving a guy with a staffer on the Hill, and I think a New York Times reporter that he was having an affair with. By the way, then there's that there's not much interest at all, is there in getting to the bottom of this. This is a dark

time for our country. I mean, when the Department of Justice can be weaponized in this way, when people can look at their fellow Americans, whether it's on TV or members of Congress and act like this investigation it is not just the rage of the scorned pro Hillary Left. We're no longer living in a place, We're no longer in a time when we can find common ground, at least on this issue, probably on a whole lot of

other issues too. We are facing into the abyss of a legal system that has been weaponized against one side, and that weaponization process they hope will reach its completion in the destruction of the Trump presidency, if not through criminal indictments, that at least through a report from Mueller

that will serve as the basis for impeachment. Impeachment that I think we all know Democrats are pretending right now is not inevitable, but it would be almost as big a shock as the twenty sixteen election to me if they didn't impeach Trump the end of the year, Which means that I know you're thinking about holidays, Christmas gifts and all that, but if you're a business owner or you work in the HR department, guess what you've also

got to think about new employees. Right, You're gonna be doing a fair amount of hiring and filling and staffing and all that stuff coming into the new year. You want global verification network to be there for you to run all those background checks. You got to have background checks done for any employee you're bringing in, no matter how large or small your company, and no matter what the size of the contract for that vetting. Global Verification

Network has got you covered. They are the boutique, veteran owned and operated background investigation company out there. You need to check them out. They have risk mitigation experts headquartered in Chicago, but with offices throughout the country. I know the CEO, Mark Backman, personally, and I can vouch for him. This is the guy you want helping you out on background checks. Call eight seven seven six nine five one seven nine again that's eight seven seven in six nine

five seven nine, or go to MYGVN dot com. It's MYGVN dot com. I've looked at this report and yes, everybody's going to focus on what has been redacted, but let's look at what's not in there. There is no suggestion that Michael Flynn had anything to do with collusion. He was with the transition team, he was part of the campaign, and yet there's no mention of collusion. I think it's good news for President Trump tonight that this is what has come down to. Even though they said

he substantially cooperated. I think he's substantially cooperated to say that there was no collusion, and we can look at it with that in mind. Interesting theory. There no jail time recommended for Flynn. But where are we in this whole Russia collusion situation. We've got somebody that can really break it all down for us. We have with us,

Greg Jarrett. He is a Fox News legal analyst and author of the book which you should all check out, The Russia Hoax, The Elicits Schemes to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. Greg jares with us now. Greg, Thank you, hey Buck, Great to be with you all right, man? What do you what do you make an apologies for my raspy voice here. What do you make of this latest series of events this week? Is it let's starve at the Flynn no jail time but substantial cooperation? What

do you see in those documents? What's it all telling you? Well? The word cooperation is one of those wonderfully fungible terms. Cooperation can simply mean he agreed to talk to us immediately and try to be as forthcoming as he possibly could. It doesn't mean that he actually was able to provide anything that is incriminating whatsoever towards Donald Trump in this so called collusion investigation. Collusions also, you know this amorphous

crime that doesn't really exist in the criminal codes. Is it some sort of conspira recy coordination with Russians. Well, this memo reveals none of that, and in fact just the opposite. The memo itself makes no mention of collusion. The addendum, which is roughly five pages long, is heavily redacted, but you can tell from how it's laid out and

set up two things that Flynn offered assistance on two subjects. First, he contributed something that's unidentified in a criminal case not handled by the Special Council, So that tells us it's not directly collusion related because it's handled not by Muller. Second, Flynn seems to have answered questions about the Trump transition teams conversations with foreign governments, including Russia. But that can't be collusion either to win the election, because the election

was already over. So it's a bit of a mystery as to what is contained in the redactions. But I think it's evident to me and others that there's not much evidence of collusion being provided by Flynn, and what do you take from the lack of any I mean, we've had a few people already go down for the process crimes of lying over during the course of an investigation about no actual criminal conduct, right, Papadopoulos, Alexander Zuan. There's been a few of them. Papadopolis got two weeks.

Flynn looks like it's gonna get nothing. Do you do you gauge that more as a function of Mueller thinking that the cooperation was just so exceptional or is that also Mueller maybe not wanting to kick the hornet's nest even more? Because I think people realize that the FBI did Flynn dirty on this one. I mean this was a setup. I mean there was a classified week and then the claim of the Logan Act to get this

whole thing going. I mean, this is as as much a coordinated political hit is anything I can think of. Flynn should never have been prosecuted by Robert Muller and his assembled team of partisans. Why Because the FBI agents who interviewed Flynn concluded that he was telling the truth. That was confirmed by both James Comey and his debuty Andrew McCabe when they were interviewed by congressional investigators. The truth is, had Robert Muller been forced to prove his

case against Flynn and Cord, he would have lost. He probably would have lost the case against Papadopolis as well. Why because the law requires that a false statement be made willfully and knowingly. That's a very difficult thing to prove. If somebody's recollection of a conversation happens to be different than a transcript of the conversation, or different than how the fb I or Muller interprets it, that's not a crime.

But you know, Muller applied enormous pressure on Flynn to admit to lying, when in fact Flynn never lied, and in fact Flynn became broke trying to pay his legal fees. And what was really unconscionable is that Mueller threatened to prosecute, based on no evidence, Flynn's own son. So Flynn finally surrendered under the intense emotional strain in monetary pressures, which is really a shame. It's wrong, it's unconscionable for Muller to behave that way. Now, the Cohen Plea also got

some attention this week. What what what can you tell us about how you how you read that and what comes next? Well, Michael Cohen is a prodigious liar in a tax cheat and he played guilty because he wants leniency in his sentencing treatment. You know, this is the trouble when the government, Robert Mueller in this case, decides to get in bed with a known liar and criminal. For all we know, Michael Cohen is lying about his lies. So we I mean he is not a credible witness.

And in fact, because Mueller is going ahead with sentencing, it means he will never call Cohen as a witness in anything. So you know, Cohen, in my judgment, is also a total zero when it comes to collusion. You know, he can talk about payments which are perfectly legal under the Federal Campaign Election Act, to women who said they

had affairs with Donald Trump, not a crime. What do you think about By the way, everyone, we're speaking to Greg Jarrett, author of the Russia hoax, the illicit schemes to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. Judge Napolitano, your colleague, Overt Fox said earlier today, quote, I expect Donald Trump Junior to be indicted. Do you agree with that assessment? Disagree? Well, given Muller's behavior of criminalizing conduct

that is not remotely criminal, that's altogether a possibility. You know, again, Flenn's a perfect example. He didn't lie, he didn't commit a crime, but Mueller prosecuted him. Neverthe last So as I you know, I spent an entire chapter in my book The Russia Hoax explaining how the Trump Tower meeting violates no law. You know, it's not a crime to talk to a Russian lawyer or any Russian for that matter.

Take a look at the Federal Election Commission website. Foreign nationals may participate in American campaigns as long as they don't receive money or donate money. So to have a conversation with a Russian lawyer who purportedly is going to give you information about Hillary Clinton, you know, that's just not a crime. So we'll wait and see what Mueller does. But you know, he is the kind of unprincipled, unscrupulous character, Mueller who would try to weaponize and criminalize that which

is not truly under the law of crime. Do you think that this is winding down? And if so, could you tell us why? Because I've been hearing that for quite a while, and obviously it has not been true for quite a while, because this thing still drags on. Are we going to be in you know, springtime, still talking about whether Mueller's got the goods? It's altogether possible. Sure, These independent councils and special council investigations tend to drag

on well beyond their merits. We certainly saw that in Whitewater, which went on to the better part of four years and then ended up accusing the President Bill Clinton then of something that had nothing whatsoever to do with the original mandate. So there's no telling when Muller and his team of partisans will end this thing. They should have ended it long ago. There's not a whiff of evidence that Trump ever had some conspiracy or coordination or collusion

with Russia to win the election. None zero, And it should have ended there. And in point of fact, Muller should never have been appointed because under the federal regulation, you can only point of special counsel if there's some evidence of a crime first. And Lisa Page, who was the top FBI lawyer on the Russia investigation, testified two months ago that during entire time the FBI had the case,

they never found any evidence of collusion. So this has been with Robert Muller, an investigation in search of a crime, which were versus a bastardizes the legal process and turns the federal regulations on their head. And as for the Hillary component of all this, in your book, the scheme to clear Hillary Clinton is she cleared in the sense that this is never going to really be thoroughly investigated.

I mean, I think a lot of people wonder when you have the President saying, for example, that he may drop information about the origins of the Russia investigation in order to fight back against the Muller squad of partisans. You know that the president obviously is a guy who's willing to roll up the sleeves and get a little bare knuckle when he has to. Why not look into the Clinton Foundation? Why not? Do? I've heard a little bit of that coming back. But do you think that

will actually be a factor. It will only be a factor when the Senate confirms a new attorney general who will present the evidence of Hillary Clinton's alleged crimes to a grand jury. And there is a mountain of evidence that she violated one hundred and ten times the Espionage Act. She did it through willful and knowing and intent. She did it through gross negligence. She could be prosecutored under

two provisions of that Act. She also destroyed records that were under subpoena, you know that, substruction of justice, and several other crimes. Her foundation plenty of evidence to present to a grand jury that she engaged in hey to play. That's corrupt. It's a violation of six federal felony statutes. If there is sufficient evidence, that should be presented to a grand jury. So we'll wait and see who the new Attorney general is. It's really quite tragic that Jeff Sessions,

who was incompetent and feckless, never reopened the case. He should have. The Russia Hoax, The illicit schemes to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump, is the book.

I know I was asking you all for phil Hin host. I was thinking for the Christmas holiday, but I might I might need one a little bit before that. I might not. I might not make it through it in tomorrow. I think tomorrow might be the day that my voice is

totally shot. If I know. The progression of this kind of a cold that I've had in the past also makes me think I should probably get the flu vaccine. What do you think, Brandon? Are you a flu vaccine guy? Do you get it? I rarely get sick, so no, look at you. What's your secret not to rub it in? I don't know. It's okay rub it touch everything in

New York City, so I'm immune. Oh so you think you take the perspective of because you're exposed to stuff all the time, you have a very hearty immune system. That's what I think it is. If I get sick, it's just for a day and maybe have a lingering cough. But you're for me. My Achilles heal is. If I don't I don't get enough sleep, I get sick. So you know that's if if I go a night with sleep,

I end up for whatever reason. I'm just I'm like a no go oh man, you know it's early too usually I'm making into January before I get sick, but now it's December. Every year, this this summow, this summow happens to me. And I was thinking, you know, if I had more energy and more of a voice, maybe I'd start a conversation about vaccines in general. But I'm just kidding. I know, I know, I don't want to. Don't don't change the dial. I'm not going to talk

about vaccines. I promise we're gonna have a speaking of guest house. We're gonna have Raheim joining us here in just a few minutes, So Raheem is going to drop all kinds of knowledge about all things, all things related to the U. N migrants packed. You know, the United Nations is now trying to weigh in on how countries should treat their migrants. And you know what the what the basic standards are supposed to be for you know,

multicultural education for your own population. So when you bring in migrants, you know this is if you look back in history population flows. Yes, there's been a lot of the history of humanity has been a history of migrations, that's true, but it hasn't been a smooth or easy process. It often has coincided with war, with famine, with you know, people tend to move in large numbers for reasons of desperation, and those who have to embrace newcomers in large numbers

all at once tend to have friction with them. And if you go back to the various periods in US history where there were big inflows of migrants, because contrary to what you're told by that mainstream media all the time, we've the history of immigration to America has been and I'm not talking about settlers and in the colonial period. I mean, we know, once we actually had immigration policy has been you know, the faws, it gets turned on,

the faws, it gets turned off. You know, we taken a lot of immigrants, then we up, then we've taken a lot of immigrants, and then we stop. And that's allowed for assimilation. But in those periods, whether it's you know, the Italians, the Irish, Jewish immigrants, Polish immigrants, there's been there's been some bumps along the way, let's just put it that way. I think back to what a hotbed of Marxist and anarchist ideology Chicago was in the eighteen eighties.

It was all function of all the immigrants coming in from Europe, and the labor issues between owners and between management and laborer igo in Chicago factories that you know, that led to you know, all kinds of social upheaval and even some some outbreaks of violence here and there. You know. So this process it's not going to be easy no matter what. And I think it's it's time for us to at least have a more more honest conversation about this. I mean, that's the thing the multiculturalists

just don't understand. They think that if only the host nation is more accepting, then everything gets a lot better and a lot easier. But it's it's not that simple. You know. One thing I thought about today is I went into my office and I'm one of these people who I'm always stuck between. You know, Brandon, where do you come down on this? We gotta right hem In a mill moment, he's gonna drop a whole bunch of knowledge and analysis. But should you when you're not feeling well?

Are you a tough guy for doing your job and not letting your team down by showing up to do your work? Or are you typhoid mary infecting everybody? Get the heck out of the office. Which one is it. I usually side with tough guy. But if you're, you know, leaking mucus and vomiting, I think you should stay home. You're not really doing anybody is, So it depends on the sickness. I'm glad you're in DC. Put it that way, and I mean, yes, exactly right. I'm far away from you.

So you don't think I could cough. It's not gonna it's not gonna hit you. That would be quite That would be quite a cough. There is much wisdom from DJ Brandon on this issue. Speaking of wisdom, Rahim Kassam up next to drop some should this caravan had been stopped at the Guatemala border. Of course I agree with that one hundred percent. I should have the country habit to beb with of these people because they have people, they have bad people, because they don't belong here. They're

just migrants. But it's like the same in the same case, it's like when Mexican migrants going to the US, they're undocumented. You know of incidences here in Tijuana and in other cities that some of these people that are coming into these with these caravans are committing crimes. This is not about racism. We don't dislike a certain group of people because they're from a country, one country or another. We are here because our government has not taken control of

these what we call invasion. We got a bunch of Mexicans there talking about a bunch of Central Americans who are part of this caravan, and Simon a lot like Republicans or even Trump himself. Pretty amazing, isn't it. What is the truth of immigration right now and sovereignty international borders, or what's the conversation we should be having about it. Our friend Rahim Kassam is with us now. He's, of course a guest host on this program. He's also a

Claremont fellow and author, a political strategist. Mister Rahem, good to have you back, sir, Well, thanks for having me. Bud. So, I want to ask you about this, this piece you wrote in the Daily Caller about the UN combat. You said, major countries don't want to part of this UN compact on migration. I mean, we're dealing with their own migration crisis right now at the border with the caravan, and there's more caravans to come. Let's talk about this un

compact first, on migration. What what is this and what do we need to know? Well, that's the point. You know, you're dealing with your own migration issues. You already have a you know, supposedly a sovereign government constituted of different entities, you know, different different chambers h in most Western democracies. But the United Nations wants to add further complication to that has published as of this summer what it calls the Compact on Migration. That's the that's the short title.

The long title is about fifty fifty words long, as as with any of these supernational entities, and and you know, the whole thing is effectively just jargon. Uh it's it's It says in thirty eight pages plus what could be said in one page, what probably could be said in one sentence, and that is that the United Nations feels like it should assume immigration policy for almost every single nation around the world. It gets to set the expectations

of national government. It also gets to set the regulations on both public and private sector entities as goes immigration. So just a few things that I picked up, I mean, my daily quarter pieces only about eight hundred words long. I could have gone for about five or six thousand, sort of picking into the detail of this of this report. But some of the things they mentioned are things like speeding up the visa processes for migrants, developing regular migratory

flows into Western nations. And who has to pick up the tab for all of these things. It's the Western taxpayers.

It's people like you and I and people out there in the country who have to pay more into their national governments and more into their immigration departments all over the world so that migratory flows can be sped up, because that, according to the United Nations, it would be against the human rights of migrants if they're either held at a detention center or they don't get immediate access

to finance and welfare and education. So this compact has been put together over the last couple of years, really precipitated by the European migrant crisis. And you know what they're doing now is trying to rush this through at a December eleventh and twelfth meeting in Marrakesh. Luckily, President Trump and they Ambassador Nicky Haley to the United Nations said last year that the United States wouldn't be a part of it. And now you've got other major countries

dropping out. Poland is dropping out, Austria is dropping out, Hungary is dropping out, Italy is dropping out. And just today a petition to the British Parliament reached one hundred thousand signatures in the United Kingdom, which immediately triggers a parliamentary debate. The petition was against the UK signing the compact. So there's a lot of pressure from uh, you know, the populist countries and nationalist countries all around the world

and their populations to not sign this, this this Migrant Compact. Yeah, it seems like if you're going to if you're going to decide you're outsourcing key components of immigration policy to the supernational body that is the United Nations, it feels like claims of national sovereignty start to ring a little

bit hollow. I mean, if you if you can't determine who and how under what circumstances people come into your country, if you're going to let that be chosen by committee by all the other countries involved in this compact, clearly there's a there's a loss of sovereignty that results from that.

I mean, you know so so, but there's pushback in the UK against this as well, right, even even in the United Kingdom, absolutely, where we have become so very um very less say fair about our politics, given what's

happened with Breaksit over the last couple of years. But yeah, there is there is bag It's it's it's really interesting to me because the document itself mentioned several times over you know, this isn't supposed to impose upon nation states sovereignties, and then it sort of ends those lines with as long as they adhere to the Migrant Compact and within

the realms of international law. Not once does it ever give any deference to say, the Constitution of the United States, or the Constitution of Italy or the constitution of the United Kingdom. It just says, within the realms of international law. Well, you know, you and I both know there's really no such thing as international law. International law is a very

sort of liquid concept. It changes all of the time, depending on you know, who the bureaucrats and who the paper bushes are in the supernational entities, who we should change them. And you know, I looked at this in depth. I realize a lot of people won't have looked and

looked at this in depth. But there's a very serious conversation to be had about the United Nations and its policies towards a migration because at the moment they're spending about six billion dollars a year on purely on migration and refugee issues. And when you consider that the United States, the US taxpayer picks up about twenty two percent of

the annual United Nations budget. Well, it's one thing that President Trump opted out of this migrant Compact last year, but it's a whole another thing that US taxpayers are basically paying for assaults on sovereign nation states all around the world with this. So I think the State Department and the Trump administration needs to go back to the United Nations and say, look, as long as you keep doing this stuff, we're going to start whittling down our

UN contributions over and over again. Yeah, it is kind of amazing that you have so much of the UN's bills paid for by America, therefore by the taxpayer. And yet there's always this sense within the UN. And I was actually friends years ago with a UN corresponding who

was just east out of the UN. There's always a sense within the UN that, you know, America is like the rogue step child, the rogue step child that like pays for everything, but but is not really treated with, you know, quite the same degree of love and respect that we should to put it mildly. And then also just an issue of immigration in general. You know, we're we're always being forced to focus on, for example, a refugee, how many refugees we take in? Is it fifty thousand?

Is a thirty thousand? And you know Trump with extreme vetting that became a big political issue for a while. Now with the caravans of the border, we take in a million people a year and make them either citizens or permanent residents of America who had not been previously. Million a year year after years. No other country in the world does this, and it's like no good deed

goes unpunished. M Well, I was just say, buck, it's really is worth reminding ourselves that when when Americans are consistently called ungenerous or Trump is called, you know, xenophobic or whatever, the United States still takes in more refugees, more migrants of that persuasion than any other Western country

in the world. And it's worth remembering that when you see all of these lectures from Emmanuel Macron or the European Commission that America must play its part, and so on and so forth, and you have just In Trudeau just north of the border, you know, grandstanding virtue signaling on his own. The United States is still the number one destination and still takes in the most number of people of any major Western economy. And and you know, for the United Nations to come out and do this now,

I think is incredibly poorly timed. When you have strong governments, strong nationalistic governments in Europe, in Italy and Hungary and Poland, and you have Trump in the White House. You know, my hope is that on December the eleventh and twelve, the things that gets laughed out of the shop. But they've been working on this for some time and it won't be the last fear of it. Rahm. What's your

take on how Trump is doing these days? Well, unfortunately, the unvarnished truth is that he can't really do that well nowadays. He's not in a position to do that well at the moment. I mean, the next two years, you know, you've got him having to just have constant fires overboorder hall funding. Effectively, that's that's what the next two years are going to be, you know, characterized by

the administration itself. You know, I cannot understand for the life of me how Mike Pompeio, Secretary of State, can go to Russells and declare that Trump is building a new liberal world order. That was precisely what the elector in the United States voted against. They wanted that sort of liberal order assailed and taken down a peg or two because it did lead to things like the European Commission and the European Union and the United Nations effectively

dictating policy. Don't forget it nearly led to you guys joining the Transpacific Partnership. And you know, when you look at who the appointees are at the moment in places

like the State Department. Mary Kissel, a recent one, for example, who came from the Wall Street Journal board, is an avowed neo conservative, is an avowed fan of the liberal order, spent most of her time during the twenty fifteen and sixteen election cycle insulting candidate Trump at the time, and she is now Mike Pompey of senior adviser and writes

his speeches and writes policy. So it's it's it's a disturbing time for truemaga folks of which I count myself, and I don't I don't necessarily see it getting better. It's it's just going to be a long drawn out two years. Now. Do you think Trump can win if there's doesn't build the wall? Well, you know, it's one fact that he really has to hope that the economy

is in good shape in two years time. You know, a lot of the financial people that I talk to, not the sort of renowned experts like the Krugman's and all these guys who get things wrong all the time, but the people who do get things right and don't get Trumpets blown about them, they are worried that this is going to turn into a global economic crisis in the next couple of years. It maybe in two years, it maybe in five years. Nobody can quite figure out

when that when that bubble is going to burst. And if if he goes into the twenty twenty election cycle, even if the wall is partly built, or you know, the funding is secured, or even if it's holy built, people are going to look to the economy to make up their minds over over whether this President's been a success and and you know it's fifty fifty at the moment, it's it's really up in the air. Rahim Kasam, everybody, if you have not checked out his book, No Go Zones,

highly recommend it to you. And you'll hear Rahim on this show again soon. Fill it are hem. Great to have you back. Thanks Bud. All right, team, we get a lot more show coming your way. I always good to hear from Rahim. Such a such an advantage to out the cool act accent. I gotta say, maybe I should just come up with an accent of my own to do on the show, you know, just show up and I was like, hello, my name's Buck. I've got

a funny accent. Now that's not a cool assigning accent though, right like Raheem's accent adds gravitas and people want to listen to them. I'd have to come up with one of those. Or I could just go with the fact that right now my voice is too registers lower than it usually is. Maybe maybe that adds some degree of gravity. Task but this is you what the border is not getting any better. This is not going away anytime soon.

In fact, as I've been telling you, I've been hearing that there may be an effort for a coordinated overrunning of the border. I'll talk to you more about that, and just a moment, stay with me. Just people came are coming violently, unrespectfully, not as a good law abiding citizen, and that's what's hurt us. It's not all of them, but yes, a lot of them are not really nice people who want to work, who want to integrate to

our economy. They're just troublemakers. We had to bring him over here because the neighbors from from that from that part of town, if it's called Tikuana, it's like Tiquana by the sea. They were getting mad and they they even started throwing stones out at each other. So we catamore here like twe hundred and sixty teams got out of hand because it kept growing and growing. That's from

people who are actually spending time near the caravan. That was a Tijuana Tijuana Mayor Juan Manuel and Tijuana City Councilman Gennaro Lopez talking about what it's done to their city to have these six thousand people who are living in right now and unsafe, unsanitary conditions because they're waiting

for their moment to get across the border. And I want to just give you a little bit of this New York Times piece on this, because I'll take a different approach to it than, of course the Times does. But the title is with us Soil achingly close decision time for caravan migrants, And they say the thirty migrants were huddled under a tree on a cold night as an American government helicopter hovered overhead, its searchlights sweeping the

tree boughs and the hard earth around it. From where they crouched, the man, women and children could see American soil on the yards away on the other side of the tall border fence separating Mexico from the United States. They had come to jump the fence, but so many things perplexed them. What if they got caught? If they did, could they apply for asylum? Would children be separated from their parents? Was it possible to run to San Diego?

And then they spoke at one individual, Mister Garcia nodded toward the border fortifications of a nation whose present did not want him to enter. Quote, there's got to be a weak spot. Notice what you're being told here in this piece. Now, now they're writing this, of course as a very sympathetic portrait of people just seeking a better life, and that's true of many people in the caravan, But it's not just the US president doesn't want them, and it's actually US law that does not want people to

come into the country illegally. And for those who keep saying they're claiming asylum, they're scamming the asylum process. They are committing fraud, and then the fraud is not enforced. That's what's really happening, because when their asylum claim does not go through, then they are in the country illegally, So that's the scam. But they're stuck at this border. They're stuck at the fence. Why, oh, that's right, because

there is a barrier. There are all these photos of people at this border fence and they cannot get to the other side of it. Wait, but I thought we were told that walls don't work. I thought that people who believe in walls are so dumb and that that's just foolish. That's silly to think that a wall will do anything. Well, if that's the case, then I need somebody to explain to me. Why is it that you have all of these different migrants gathered together at the

wall and not able to get across. The New York Times piece here is really an advertisement for build an even bigger wall that covers the whole border.

You've got a couple of things going on here in terms of US response to Russia first year courtesy of Fox News.

The US Navy warship sailed in waters claimed by Russia in the Sea of Japan earlier today, as tensions increase of the Trump administration's decision to withdraw from a decades

old Arms Control treaty. Spokesperson for the Pacific US Pacific Fleet says, the guided missile destroyer USS mccampbell sailed in the vicenter of Peter the Great Bay, which is the body of water off the Russian ports city of Vladivostok, to challenge Russia's excessive maritime claims and uphold the rights, freedoms, and lawful uses of the sea enjoyed by the United States and other nations. So you know, this is a this is a show in the flag thing, right, This

is intended to send a message. This is intended to make sure that the Russians know that we expect, we expect there to be no Russian interference with freedom of navigation these waters. And you know that, I also think I saw earther day there's we might be sending a cruiser. We're doing something right now with regard to showing Russia

are just pleasure over the Ukraine situation. So with all these things going on, with all these different shows of strength, saber raveling, whatever you want to call and I'd just like to take a moment to think about, how, you know, I remember in the early days of the Trump administration and in the campaign phase as well, one of the things that was perplexing to some and especially for some Republicans, some conservatives, was maybe a bit of a surprise, a

break with the past. Was that Trump was saying that we weren't going to get entangled in other people's stuff, that we weren't going to be in the position that or add to our woes in places like Afghanistan and other places there where we've become way too involved in either propping up another country, rebuilding its infrastructure, essentially creating a new country. You know, we've come to this decision now.

I think, after a couple of decades or close to a couple of decades of we're in Afghanistan, US military operations in the Middle East, that we can't make everything our problem, and that this is this is a very important principle that I think conservatives increasingly embrace, because this world that we were led to believe could be shaped more in our image by US military force, it just doesn't. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't end up being

the case. It's not possible to take some of these countries and to make them the representative democracies that we would like to see. It's not possible to make them build civil societies and have decent rule of law and human rights, and perhaps a lot more. To the point, it's certainly not the obligation shouldn't be the obligation of the United States military and the American people to send our young men and women in uniform all over the

world to fix the problems of other countries. And this is why I get so frustrated with the Kashogi situation. You know, because you have both Russia and Saudi Arabia now have become very prominent in the talking points of a lot of anti trumpers. The idea of being a Trump is so favorable to He's so favorable to those who are despots who rule with an iron fist, and

the Trump likes those kinds of people. You know, they're saying now with Mohammed bin Salmon, that we should probably take action against him personally, take specific action against the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. And to that, I just say, if we're going to do that, what do we do about the leader of Russia? And really, if we're going to hold the leader of a country responsible for terrible human rights violations, execution of dissidents. I mean, since we're

having this conversation, what about Schijianping, what about China? You have one a million wagers that are estimated to be in these Chinese re education camps. You have people routinely imprisoned, torture disappeared who are critics of the regime in China. It's not reported on very much here, in part because we don't have a lot of access to the information, but I would rather us all have Again, apologies for my voice, guys, it's really I've been trying to try

to push through. But as you can tell, it's it's it's in rough shape. It's it's really not possible to establish a principle that we're not going to deal with bad foreign leaders because of one act or many acts and uphold that standard without dramatically upending US foreign policy in our relationships with other countries. And so what I've been thinking lately is that we should extend this idea.

We can't militarily fix all these other countries too. We also can't put it on our shoulders to be the moral arbiter of how all these other states act and are dealing with their own citizens all the time. Yeah, we can sure, strong rhetoric is nice, but the most important way that America leads is by example and by the prosperity that we don't just enjoy at home, but that we spread all over the world with our technology,

with our free markets, with our rule of law. You know, we are an example and also a security blanket for the rest of the world. But that doesn't mean that we're supposed to run around and be responsible for every for writing or avenging every atrocity that is committed. And I would just like to see in my adult life, because I was thinking about this today, I have it's never been the case. I would like to have a

period where America is not at war at all. We are still in Afghanistan, we still take losses there, we are still militarily involved in Rock. I've never lived in I've never lived in America as an adult because nine eleven happened when I was in college. I've never been a full functioning adult out in the real world in America that was not deployed in foreign theaters with ongoing military operations. And I think that that's that's that's troubling.

I think that we should increasingly accept that the world is a nasty and dangerous place, and unless US interests are under threat, unless the US is in some way threatened, we should not feel this obligation to always be trying to uphold these standards that that really also come and go. I mean, you look at how friendly Obama was toward, for example, the regime in Cuba, an absolute thugocracy, an island prison that for decades has been a thorn in the side of all US policy in the Caribbean and

really around the world. In many ways, I mean, the Cubans were effectively operating as a ford operating base for the KGB for as long as the Soviet Union was around. And obviously the Cuban Revolution was won by Castro and the Obama administration and the Democrat the Democrats before before Trump, they took a very favorable view of what was going on.

They took a view that we should stretch out our hand and we should make ourselves as much as we can, not allied with, but on a pathway to better relations with the Cuban regime without any change. And there's human rights positure or that any change in the number of

people who had been tortured and killed. There's a lot of brutal murders that go on in Cuba the order of order of the Castle regime, right, So you know, this is why I mean, the complexities of foreign policy allow all the pundits and people that are involved in the stuff to talk about it all the time. And as I said, they'd like to talk about it because they think it makes them sounds smart, you know, And this is this is why a lot of people that

you know go on to you. They I always feel like they're showing off the last thing they just look up on Wikipedia about you know this or that treaty

or tribe or whatever it may be. I just wanted America that doesn't get pulled into more of this and that the Kashogi stuff I'm hearing from Lindsay Graham about how we really were effectively going to pick a fight with Saudi Arabia over this, or that we're going to do more than just assist Ukraine with support, but we're going to back them up militarily if Russia we're to get aggressive. I mean, you know the answer if someone's going to pose this to me, you know, if Russia

invades Ukraine, do we go to war with Russia? For me, the answer is no. We should all be very clear about that. Is the Koshogie murder enough that we should abandon our relationship with Saudi Arabia and therefore allow Iran to push its advantage across the Middle Least I say to that also, the answer should be no, because we have to live in the real world.

Make people hear you on climate change and start to do something about it,

and governments to start to do something about it. How pointless is my life and how pointless are the decisions that I'm making on a day to day basis when we are not focused on climate change every day, when it's not leaving every one of our newscasts. That's right, that's an MSNBC anchor telling you that, you know, life is pretty much pointless if we're not all fighting climate change.

This is why that climate change is where people who generally shun religious belief turn for a feeling of purpose, and that's why they're willing to believe anything about it, because they take it on faith. But unlike a relationship with God, which has to be based in faith, science is not supposed to be based in just well, I want it to be true. I think it is true. I know it to be true. Therefore it is true. They're supposed to be real time, touchable, tangible evidence, and

that relies on the scientific method. But here you have somebody who's really telling you the way though that the Libs feel about climate chadors that it's a it's an existential issue for them. The French, of course, have shown us what happens when people like Katie turn get their way and normal people have to deal with that. A carbon tax is a thing that the left has been pushing in this country for a very long time. The idea of a carbon tax is something that really tends

to get liberals very, very energized. They like the notion of a carbon tax. They support the idea of it because it also falls into their idea of climate change not just as a problem to be solved, but a sin to be purged. You should be paying more, you should be punished for adding to climate change. It's not just about dealing with the scientific problem. It's that there's really now a whole part of the liberal mind that's engaged in what you'd have to call climate justice, which

is its own subdiscipline of social justice. And social justice is cultural Marxism with a better name. But climate justice means that the third world has to get money from the first world. That people who are trying to go about their day to day lives and want to embrace the benefits of and the technologies afforded them by modernity, and in said that, you know what happens. They turn around and they're told, oh, no, you're not supposed to you're not supposed to use those things, or if you do,

you're going to be punished. For those things. The very important people, the elites in this country, they are allowed to do whatever they want. This is how this is why they don't think it's hypocritical for al Gore to have a house in Tennessee that I think uses twenty

times the normal amount of energy. Right, they don't think it's hypocritical for Leonardo Dicapria to actually fly to climate change meetings in a private jet, which means that his carbon, his CO two footprint is going to be more than the cotwo footprint of ninety nine percent of the people that he's out there lecturing about climate change. But you know, when you have somebody saying things like how pointless is my life if I'm not doing more about climate change?

This is an existential issue for them, which is why they're so vicious about it too. I'll never forget that, you know. I talked about Michael Crichton from time to time on the show, mostly because Crichton was the author that I most I mean, the first, not the first book that I ever read on my own that I loved would have been in the third grade, and it was Letoiscut The Three Musketeers by Alexander dumah. But that was the first book that I read outside of school

that I was like, this book is awesome. But the first person whoever made me think, wow, reading is something that I want to do for fun and it's going to be a big part of my life was Michael Crichton. Starting around fourth fifth grade was when I started reading Michael Michael Crichton books. And he wrote this book. And I got it wrong the last time, so I apologize. I got the title wrong, and I'm pretty sure it was State of Fear was the I just want to

make sure I'm not telling you the wrong book. Yes, global warming about eco terists global warming. I think I had said something else the last time. But I read State of Fear. It's a pretty good read. It's not one of Crichton's better books, but I mean it's a pretty it's a pretty interesting read. But he gave this. He gave interviews afterwards where he said that he's written

on the most controversial topics. Imagine what he's written on cloning and whether a human DNA can be patented, and he's written on a boor shit and when life start. He's tackled stuff that's really contentious. And he says that he was warned away from writing on climate change back in two thousand and four. He was warned by his own you know, his own side. I mean people probably see people he knows in the publishing industry and social friends,

because they said that it's just not worth it. You're going to get so much. And he said that he almost backed away from it, but then he realized that he didn't want to be a coward, and he's very successful author, and why can't he write on whatever he wants to write on? And then he published the book, and he said that he got more hatred and even death threats from people because he wrote a novel that dealt with the issue of climate change than anything else

in his entire career. Now that's bizarre, right, that doesn't make any sense because climate change in a day to day sense doesn't, you know, really shouldn't really be something that's on the forefront of anyone's minds. It really doesn't affect people quite the same way a lot of those

other issues do. But when you understand the climate change is a religious belief for people who think they're too smart for religion, then you see how this would be like telling somebody you know who is a Muslim that you know there was never a Muhammed and this was all fake, or you know they're telling, you know, telling somebody who's a Christian there you know there is no Jesus and there was there is no God. Now, different religions and different people of religious faith react differently to

these kinds of claims, but it's upsetting to people. A scientific debate shouldn't be upsetting to people who should be rooted in the facts. And if one thing is true and another thing is not, that's all that should matter. So in a sense, I actually like what Katie Turr said here because she's putting it in the in the context in which liberals really think about this issue. I mean, she's she's the one who's telling you how this really goes, which is that they think that this is about our

ability to have meaning in life. And if you're part of this, this set, this climate change vanguard, you are you are trying to save the planet and you see you have a vision of the future that nobody else really has, or you know that other people aren't embracing. That makes you a better person than them, right, That makes you a better person than them. So, you know, I think that Katie jurors, you know, I don't know where that she came kind of out of nowhere all

of a sudden, she's got to show at MSNBC. But she is at least telling you what the Libs really think about climate change, which usually they hide behind, Oh there's a scientific consensus, but there's not a scientific consensus, so they're just lying. But they don't mind lying because I think that this is about saving the earth in about it. What is the thing Democrats need to say to help voters bump this from issue number fourteen up

to issue number one. I wish I had an answer to that, because one of the things that we Democrats have a really hard time is connecting to people's hearts instead of here. And we're really good at shoving out all the information that touch people here but not here.

And I have been saying it all of our Senate Democratic retreats, that we need to speak to the heart, not in a manipulative way, not in a way that brings forth everybody's fears and resentments, but truly to speak to the heart so that people know that we're actually on their side. We have a really hard time doing that.

And one of the reasons that it was sold to me at one of our retreats was that we Democrats know so much that is true, and we have to kind of tell everybody how smart we are, and so we have a tendency to be very left brain and we think this, really that hasn't that is not how people make decisions. So there you have Maizie Harono, the dumbest person in the Senate, who is claiming in an interview that the problem that Democrats have is that they're

too smart when they're talking to the American people. It's just perfect, isn't it. As she really is the dumbest. I mean, I think that if you were to say, who can we pick who has the least knowledge and the least intellectual facility in the United States Senate, I think Mazie heronos number one. And the fact the matter is that what she's saying is not only ridiculous on its face, it's also the complete opposite of what reality is.

Democrats don't worry about the real world consequences of their policies. Democrats are not the ones that make arguments based on reason and logic. They make arguments based on emotion all the time. I mean a perfect example is the border. What do we do about the border? Why are you such a racist who hates children and desperate women fleeing violence? No, no, that's not what I asked. I just asked, what do we do about the border? What would you like us

to do? Does everyone get to come in? Give me answers? I would like answers. What is your preferred situation? What's your Oh? I see, it's just to do a lot of virtue signaling, to talk as much as possible about how kind hearted you are and how much you want to be the ones who are bringing in the meek, the poor, the hungry and downtrodden of the world. Meanwhile, when we try to ask for all who's going to pay for all this? And how is this all supposed

to work? We're told that we're the mean ones. No, Democrats rely overwhelmingly on emotional arguments. This is why when they make it an appeal to the public, the appeal is in terms of, you know, either fear or self righteousness. Why do we have to take action on climate change? Well, because we have to save the planet or else we're all going to die. I mean the world will die, I mean the planet will die. This is crazy. This

is not something that normal people should think. But there are people nonetheless who think it, and they are Democrats. There's a whole bunch of areas where, you know, when you ask about serious scientific issues, you know, here's a perfect example. Are men and women biologically different and distinct and verifiable in those distinctions? Democrats these days, the left, they'll say, no, no, you can't make those distinctions because

it's a spectrum, it's a scale. And when we say, well, hold on a second, prove to me that it's a spectrum. Proved to me that this scale exists, they'll just say, why are you so mean? Why won't you let her him it? They z zem live the truth that that person has picked for himself, herself or anything other pronouns they use why are you so mean? So their arguments are overwhelmingly faced in emotion. You know, healthcare for all is going to be Medicare for all. It's gonna be

too expensive. Why do you want poor people to die without healthcare? That's what they come back to you with. It is too expensive, and no serious person thinks otherwise. But Their argument is you're mean and we care and you don't, so it's funny. I mean, yes, Mazie Herono, as I said, the dumbest woman the Senate thinks that Democrats are too smart. That there's a lot of irony in that. But even beyond that, Democrats are masters of the emotional manipulation of politics. They're not so good at

the make an argument that makes sense. The show ain't over yet, folks, It's time for roll call. Well. I made it through the show despite the fact that little raspy, although I'm sure it depends. Sometimes the voice with the cold probably a little better. Sometimes it gets really funky. Let's get to your thoughts here Facebook dot com slash Bucks Sexton if you want to be in on this action. Chuck rhymes with Buck because he's a friend of Bucks.

Chuck writes constructive criticism. Buck, please have your sound guy and normalize your voice levels with those of your producer and soundclips. Your voice volume is very low compared to their content on your show. It makes it hard to hear without constant volume adjustments. PS feel better, brother, Chuck. I I'll ask the guys to look into that. I cannot say because I don't listen to the show while I'm doing the show. In terms of the broadcast of it,

I don't. I don't notice any difference. But if you say there's a difference, we'll have our guys look into it. On the engineering side, Apollo Apollinaire Umkundigner writes, Hello, well Apollinaire, whom I think I'm pretty sure is a bat or a computer program. Hello to you, and and no, I will not give you all my computer passwords, Mitchell, right buck. A good recommendation for a female guest host should be

Katie Pavlich. Also, just a regular guest could be Jess Guitar lov She's on the other side, but makes good arguments and not just hyperventilating. Thanks Mitchell, Mitchell. Katie Pollich is great. I've known I've known Katie for years. She's a she's a force in the business and us. You know, is a very talented lady. I'd love to have her on I actually will. I'll put that one on the list of people will reach out to and see if

she has any interest. She's very busy with TV, so I don't know if radio is something she can make time for or you know this radio, but I'll definitely ask her. I'd be very happy to have Katie on. And I know Jessica Tarlov a bit. She like me, grew up in New York City. She has the politics that most people in New York are expected to have, being a she's a a a pretty civil democrat. But I like Jessica. She's also very very nice lady, very

polite and smart. Um. So, as for a guest, I don't know how much radio debate really, I'll put it this way. Very few shows have radio debates. And I think it's because it's difficult when you have two people speaking over each other. Then you're in a situation where you know you can't hear anything, and it's it's just not usually. It doesn't usually work out the way that we all want it to. Oh sorry, I'm amazing. My voice is barely make it through the show to day.

Hopefully about tomorrow will be in pretty good shape again. John writes, listening to your show tonight, you mentioned the movie Titanic. I still haven't seen it. Just a couple of bits, John. I'm not saying you're a liar, okay, but I am going to say, come on, man, you've really never seen Titanic near far wherever there. I mean,

come on, man, you've seen Titanic. Everybody's seen Titanic. It was at one point, true fact, I think it was at one point the highest grossing movie of all time, which I think I think says a lot about movie watching. I don't know what it says, but it was the highest grossing film of all time for a while. Yeah, Robert writes Buck, I can't believe I'm going to ask you about Obama's birth certificate. Gosh, Robert, I can't either. I heard you mentioned on the show tonight. I never

understood the issue. It's my understanding. You don't have to have been born in the United States to be president, as long as one or more of your parents are naturalized American citizens, meaning one of them was born in the US. McCain and Ted Cruz are both born outside of the United States. Was the issue that the religion might be stated as Muslim? Even if it was, that would have been up to his parents and doesn't mean it's his religion as an adult. Just curious if I'm

missing something. Well, though, the issue is, and Robert, I'm gonna be honest with you, I would want to read up on this a little bit, because I will tell you I have not thought about the birth controversy in quite some time. But the issue is whether one is a natural born citizen as understood by the Framers and in the Constitution. And I just going off of memory, can tell you that I think there's a pretty serious argument that not only if Obama was not born in Hawaii.

I do believe he was born in Hawaii, and you know, I'm not saying that, but if Obama had not been born in Hawaii, he would not have been a natural born citizen. And Ted Cruz, I think, is also somebody who it's an open question whether if he could even get the Republican primary, he would constitutionally qualify to be president until the United States. And I know people don't want to hear. Look, I supported Ted in the primary. I think that his political skills, his political knowledge, and

his understanding of political philosophy is first rate. His political skills are not ready for the presidential level. I think that's my honest assessment, and I don't know if they ever will be. You know, there is a whole component of whether somebody is likable and I know for this audience, a lot of you are just concerned with policy and your diehard constitutionalist you know, Ted Cruises, and I was right there with you. That's why I was supporting Cruise.

But in the current environment we're in, you know, there's a reason why you're hearing a lot of Beato talk even though he lost to Ted Cruise in Texas. There's just a feeling, whether it's sure or not, who knows that you need to have a certain national level media savvy and charisma in order to compete. So there you have it. And as to yeah, so natural born citizen, there's still some debate over what really does qualify one

as a natural born citizen. So I would just leave that to other folks who are deeper in the weeds on that than I am. Right now, Karen, Right, Oh, the elegancy of the Barack Obama presidency, Yeah right, the big bo I guess we're making a joke there about body odor. I think, okay, Valerie, right, Sorry, I just my quips don't come as ask when I'm trying not to cough. I know I'm really milking it, right, I was pretty good during the show. Guys, give me some credit.

I did not come on team. I was not whining too much about the fact that I mean, I feel like I got hit by a bus. I don't know what it is with me. Whenever I get sick, it's a cold. I mean, it's just a cold virus. But whenever I get sick day one, I'm like, oh, I'm sick, but it's not that bad. And then day two it's, oh, wow, this is not gonna be fun. And it's actually day three for me, that's just the misery day. So I'm in day three, Laurie, right, hold on a second book.

A suggestion I love regarding the Christmas Santa story for telling kids is to explain it as Santa is real. It's not just a big guy in a red suit. Santa is all of your family and friends and loved ones that gather, give gifts and make the holiday special. Just a thought that I thought was worth sharing. Well, Laurie,

I like that. I like that approach. You also could talk about the and now it's some of you who are um you know, the original Blaze Squad would be like, well, what about the original Saint Nicolas of Mira from the fourth late third early fourth century Nikolas of Body, who's a Christian bishop. My friends in what used to be known as Asia Minor are currently known as Turkey. Saint Nick comes to us via syinter Claus or Santa Claus, and that's that's this guy Nicolas of Body, who was

a bishop, who's a real dude. So you could tell them about the the kind of metaphorical Santa of today, and you could kick at old school history style and tell them about Saint Nick from way back when the real scene, kind of like how I've done the real Dracula on this show before, although some of you said, all right, we've had enough real Dracula. That'll be for the gosh the voice broke, that'll be for the history podcast, which is gonna happen when I have just less obligations,

which is probably gonna be soon. Not Nori, you know, everything is gonna be fine. I'm just gonna find a way to make more time in the day. Alex writes Titanic at four major flaws. The first, the forward funnel did not have smoke, only steam from the laundry. The second, the nineteen eleven style forty five that was used in the film wasn't introduced until nineteen fourteen. You can tell from the tang I don't know anything about that. The third, the dime that she paid for the picture with was

a Roosevelt dime, not a Mercury dime. And the fourth, the radio room did not send out a CQD. It sent out an SOS as per international standard. January first, nineteen twelve, Alex, I gotta take your word on all that. I have no idea if any of that's true. But you seem to be deep, deep, like like at the bottom of the free Using ocean after hitting the iceberg. Deep on your Titanic knowledge. Adam's hey Buck looking for

Christmas gifts on nine line. I was wondering if you could still have a discount code I could use to show my support but love the show. Thanks for being an inspiration, Adam. Actually, I don't have a discount code with nine line right now, so if that changes for the holiday, I would let you know. But definitely get some Black Rifle Coffee. Got a Black Ravel Coffee dot com slash buck fifteen percent off coffee is a great gift.

By the way, Black Rifle Coffee has fantastic gear, two T shirts, sweatshirts, I have a bunch of Black Rifles T shirts that I wear all the time. So get some T shirts from Black Rifle, Black Ravel, Coffee dot Com, slash Buck. There you go, Here we go, Johan rights Buck. I agree with you on the way the Bush passing is being handled. I share with you my feeling as my wife is getting tired of my rants. The stuff they're doing should only be done for a sitting president.

The Bush family should have kept it all in Texas. I too fear the idolatry that has going on. Do you realize that another carrier has been named after JFK. My father's nineteen forty Blue Jacket manual said carriers renamed after famous ships or military battles that change with the FDR and forrest still but his way out of control. Now these ships are paid for by taxpayers and should be named for more than a single person. Pretty soon we'll see the large pictures all out North Koreans and

the PRC. Yeah, I think that we take the political hero worship a little foreigners country. I'll be honest with you. With the founders, it's a little different because that's part of our well, our founding and our shared political culture. But I do think that that we're getting closer and closer to treating our famous political names like nobility. And let's all be honest, there really are kind of like

titles of nobility. You know, if you're a Bush, you don't have to be the best then anything you get to run for office now it seems for you know, for the foreseeable future, for generations, you know, oh a Bush. If you're saying, well, obviously, Kennedy, it's true. Just wait till Chelsea Clinton runs, that's gonna happen. I mean, you know, they're not technically titles of nobility, but they function kind of the same way. I just I do not like

that tendency in our politics. Everybody who serves, every in office is a citizen as a fellow citizen, and that's it, and we're all citizens. Team. I'm going to go drink a whole bunch of tea. Thank you so much for keeping me company here as I'm on the mend. Hope you enjoyed the show. I will be talking to you tomorrow.
