Government Stooges

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 America, You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton Show begins now. Is this an effort to try to cow individuals, both inside and outside of the government to make sure that they don't say anything either is critical

of Mr Trump or with which he disagrees. And I've seen this type of behavior and actions on the part of foreign tyrants and despots and autocrats for many, many years during my CIA and nascurity career. I never ever thought that I would see it here in the States. I haven't had any access to classified information since I left the government. The larger implication here is the jeopardy to our first our first Amendment rights and by extension, others.

And by the way, uh, there's a very chilling message here to people in the intelligence community. If you te up intelligence that the president doesn't like, you may risk losing your clearance and and there by your job. This head and eerie memory of an enemy's list. These people were being singled out um to have either the occurrences

revoked or in the process of being revoked. To me, smacks of Nixonian type practices of trying to silence anyone who's willing to criticize this president that puts us again in uncharted territory. Oh my, they are so upset about this. Welcome to the buck Sex and Show everybody. Here we are day two of the of the clearance freak out, and there's so much here that's wrong. I mean, first of all, you you have to understand, as I've discussed with you here on the show, that a security clearance

is not a right. A security clearance is a privilege that you are given by the government to work for the government in government service. Um, I wouldn't even get into but I've had one or two people. Now, let's just say one person in particular was saying, you know, well, did you have a clearance when you left the government?

Some media person, No, imbecile. I lost my clearance when inactive, which means no longer up and running, and therefore lost my access to classify when I resigned from the CIA, as it should be for everyone. They can always resurrect your clearance. This is not this is not rocket science. If you have to do rocket science and need a clearance,

they can bring it back. Right. This is uh, this is all just more Trump't arrangement syndrome getting played out through another prison, this time through through the security clearance process. The next president can restore Brennan's clearance. It hasn't been adjudicated that he is unfit for a clearance. They're just

pulling his clearance. It does give you a little bit of a window, though, into the mentality of Democrats in general when it comes to government service, which is one this notion of you know what can then can you not be fired? I would want to ask democrats this, what about somebody who works for the CIA? Now can they do TV interviews and talk about how well, then I'm at the CIA and I'm seeing everything every day and this president's a trader, And do you get to

keep your job if you do that? You know, no, no disciplinary action. Do you do you get to stay in the government and undermine the executive branch from within the executive branches? Is that the new standard that we have the folks who are listening to your military, No, you don't get to wear your uniform and go on TV and say, yes, I'm I'm activity military. But you know, this general should be called General Bozo because he's a

clown and an idiot. I mean, I've never been in the military, but those you're listening, A lot of you listening I know who have been or are now in the military, would say, uh yeah, buck you you would get in some trouble for that. You would not be It would be an issue if you went on TV in your military uniform, said your name and rank and then trash your commanding officer or trash your division or whatever.

You look at the free speech, free speech. These people like Brennan and Clapper are working the government their whole lives. They apparently don't know what the First Amendment means. They have neither read nor understood the First Amendment. No one is silencing them. I mean, this is laughable. Brennan is being silenced, what as he's on national TV and being

turned into some kind of an anti Trump martyr. He's he's being silenced because he hasn't gotten his seven figure book deal yet, because he hasn't set up a go fund Me account to give him hundreds of thousands of dollars of just free cash, because apparently the hashtag resistance got a lot of money to throw around. This is crazy, and people are saying, fuck you know, you should know better. You work in the agency. This should be non political.

Oh hold up, hold up the people that have made the intelligence community so political that I don't know if it will ever recover from what has been done to it. I don't know if it will ever regain the sense of political neutrality and objective, fact based information and analysis that was not about partisanship. I don't know if it'll

ever regain that. But it was lost not because Trump pulled some some you know, government stooges clearance, but because a bunch of former government stooges in government, used their position to try to throw an election, and then right after they left government service, or in some cases continue to just stay in government service, like comey, uh, you tried to leverage their previous position to undermine the current commander in chief. But this isn't silencing, he's just pulling

their clearances. Doesn't think that they should have access to classified information. I would ask you this. You heard Clapper there say or I have an anxious classified shouldn't I came out? Okay, So what's the big deal? It would be very it would be very unethical and in fact illegal, depending on what happened to access classified and then use that for political attacks on TV. That would be reckless, right, So no one people have gosh, I've had so many

idiot trolls. Well, you used to have a clearance, used to be in the CIA. Yeah, years and years and years ago. And I've never said, oh, i'm because of what I know in the CIA, the current commander in chief is a traitor. And oh, by the way, I want to keep my security clearance because I say so this this notion that that he's being silenced, How is he being silenced because he doesn't have a clearance. He doesn't need a clearance and he shouldn't have it anyway.

So the president has taken this action, you know, if nothing else, it's a reminder to Brennan that, yeah, he is, in fact the commander chief. He is the President United States. Trump is the guy. And just because Brennan doesn't like him, let's go on TV and say this, This president is a traitor. He's traitorous to the American people. Uh, doesn't mean that it changes what's really going on, doesn't change the reality of who's running the show. Um, you know,

this is just nonsense. You know. Jim Jordan, I gotta say I like Jim Jordans on this on on a whole bunch of things lately. How many how many newspapers and how many news outlets did you see that, uh, that that ran that there was a retraction one of those players who said that, remember Jim Jordan was never accused of wrongdoing himself, but that he didn't take action

for wrongdoing, that there was a retraction. How many do you, Mike, did you see that that there were some one of one of the one of the people are there was some kind of walk back of the story with Jim Jordan that he actually didn't you know that it wasn't he didn't know or it wasn't clear did not get covered unless I'm unless I have my facts wrong, if I do all correct it. But I'm pretty sure that's

what happened. But Jim Jordan's been very good lately, and and on Brennan, I think he sees this pretty clearly. Play Cliff nine, John Brennan lee the information to Harry Reid, lost his clearance. James Clapper lied under oath in the Intel Committee in the Senate. James Comey has been fired for leaking information on all kinds of other things. Andy McCabe lied three times under oath, has been fired. Sally Yates fired, Peter Struck demoted, then fired, Lisa Page demoted,

then left the FBI. Jim Baker, Chief Council with the FBI, demoted and then left. I think all those people, frankly should lose their clearance, particularly when you have that kind of that kind of history where you've been fired, demoted, leaking information. Why should you have a clearance. So I agree with the President what he did. I think there's a lot more people who, frankly deserve the same treatment now. But the overwhelming media consensus is, of course they they

are just in a frenzy over this thing. Oh my god, the silencing. The silencing mean we the same people that all back Brennan and the other intel people that have been named is possibly losing their clearances from Trump. Those same people are the ones who are are also claiming that the First Amendment is under great assault. On the same day that you've got and we'll get to this, three newspapers all reading from the same sheet of music. Yeah,

but they're being silenced. There are political monoculture dedicated to destroying this presidency and opposing everything he does. But but sure, they're they're in danger of silencing. I don't know how they can take themselves seriously when they say such stupid things, but but they do. Somehow, they do seem to be of the belief that, you know, they should be treated with the utmost respect while they expand upon these preposterous

ideas that they have. They're being silenced. You know that they don't know what it is to be sounds you know, you know what silence is people when there's a concerted effort to inflate the perception of or to make it seem like there's an inflated number of uh, those who want to boycott a product or a service, or a person or a company for political reasons and bring these concerted digital pressure campaigns to pull all sponsors from somebody at once and a d platform them and get them

kicked off of platforms. That's silencing. Pulling somebody security clearance in no reasonable perspective could be considered a silencing, right, But this is what this is what they're saying. This is the storyline. And I think that Trump realizes that this is a This is a very it's a good thing to have this former CIA chief be a spokesperson for the anti Trump resistance because he's a loon and he's a hack, and he has been for a very

long time. This was Obama's counter terrorism advisor. This was the guy that Obama trusted the most on counter terrorism in the White House. I know I wanted to be in charge, now do I want running the show? By the way, also, when he was CI director, SEWI was a debacle, an absolute debacle. But you know, no no one ever gets no one ever holds into account on

it for that or anything. This is another another time when the outrage meter, you'd think maybe they'd run out of of juice for the outrage meter, right, they run out of of of stuff to put in it. And Nope, Nope, there's always more. They've always got another level. They can always take the dial to eleven on the outrage. And this time it's with Trump's clearances. There's like, oh, there

might be more, more people might lose their clearances. And then he wrote this piece which I want to talk to you you about in a moment that you know, the same guy whos complaining about his clearance and being silenced is getting a featured editorial in the New York Times the same day. Oh wow, look at that. He's being silenced though he's in the biggest newspaper in the country. He's on TV every five minutes practically right now, but he's being silence. Don't know. His editorial, though, is a

is a big, steamy pile of garbage. It is a dumpster fire of innuendo and craplousey analysis. And we will pour some gasoline on this dumpster fire and make it burn even hotter, I guess, because I'm going to tear this apart in a moment and the the the Brennan editorial in New York Times very very poor. Um eight four four nine two eight two five eight four buck if you want to chat, please do give me a ring.

And uh, also, folks that if you're on Twitter. I talked about Twitter sometimes here you can always tweet at me at buck Sex and just be like, Hey, I listen to your show and I'm on Twitter. That's fun. Or you can say something pithy or witty, or you know, tell me to get a haircut, whatever you want, We'll

be right back. Something that I think you should all member or I should tell you if you didn't know this before, is uh this courtesy is Steve Hayes over the Weekly Standard that when Brennan was CIA director, his agency presented unnecessary non disclosure agreements to Benghazi survivors and get this at the memorial service for their fallen comrades. Yeah, that's how Brennan used to do things. It's the kind

of shop Brennan used to run. Now he's Mr Hero though, now he's oh because he's saying terrible things about Trump. If you if you will say horrible things about Trump, the left will excuse anything about your past, and we'll also promise you great things in your future. That's probably why Brennan has this piece that is a piece of garbage in the New York Times today the same day he's claiming that he needs to be silenced, or he is being silenced. Rather, President Trump's claims of no collusion

are hugwash, hugwash. He says, that's why the President revoked my security clearance to try to silence anyone who would shared challenge him. Um, how would that work exactly? Let's let's take Brennan the the hysterical pearl, collecting Brennan at his word here, how exactly would pulling the clearance? Uh terrify him? Brennan is going on national TV and calling the President of the United States a traitor, a traitor and has suffered no consequences of any kind. Now he

has a First Amendment right to say that. But the notion that he has being silenced, I mean, this guy has has completely jumped the shark already many times. He keeps jumping that shark over and over again. And now he the clearance gets pulled. Now he's gonna stop. He's saying that the President United States is betraying the country, is a pawn of the Kremlin. But now that he's pulled my clearance, I don't think I can say the mean things anymore because I'm scared. That doesn't make very

much sense, does it. That doesn't make very much sense at all. Um. I think it's uh. I think it's important for everybody to understand that Brennan is a is a hack and is dishonest, and the media is lionizing him right now, and that's troubling enough on its own. His piece, though, where he says that the Trump's claims of no collusion are hogwash, I go, I went through the whole piece. I read it multiple times in times, and he this will pretty much summarize the whole thing

for you. Quote. The only questions that remain are whether the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, and how many members of Trump Incorporated attempted to defraw the government by laundring and concealing the movement of money

into their pockets. A jury is about who deliberate banking tax fraud charges against one of those people Paul Manafort, Mr Trump's former campaign chairman, and the campaign's former deputy chairman, Rick Gates has pleaded guilty to financial fraud and line to investigators. Mr and Mr. Trump's claims of no collusion aren't a word hogwash. It's like we're dealing with crazy people here, folks. He says, Oh, there's definitely collusion. The claim there's no collusion as hogwash. And then I see

it here and I say, Okay, where's the collusion. You know there's collusion. Where is it? You were the c I A director willing to play dirty Washington politics. We all know that, willing to leak, willing to talk to the press, willing to do whatever he had to do based on whatever code that former Commy lover Brennan has. And here is his moment to tell us, where is the evidence? Where is the smoking gun? If Mueller hasn't

found it yet, you must know you were the CIA director. Oh, because they were willing to use a fights against freaking Carter Page. They've done everything that they can. Where is the collusion? Oh no, no, I can't tell you. I just know it's there. I just I just know it's there. And anybody who says otherwise is lying. All right, I don't want to be a liar. Brennan, tell me where the collusion is. Why Why are these questions that remain

whether it constituted criminal conspiracy? Because because you're saying that, you know, you're not saying that there's a question. Right. If you're saying that, you can't say something is not if you cannot say for certain that it is. And he's saying that there's definitely collusion, but he can't tell us what that collusion is. This is just these are the rantings of a crazy person. He's holding the line for America, buck Sexton. His back editorials, in so many

ways are anachronisms anyway. I think very few people read them other than for reinforcement of self. They're already known ideas, and it hurts the media and the bigger picture because it just reinforces that the media is packed journalism and they all think alike and move in the same direction. I think this is a meaningless exercise by the project. We have freedom of the press. It has not been

infringed in the least by Donald Trump. In fact, if the press really want to they should have gone more after Barack Obama for all the use of the Justice Department to investigate the press way out of proportion anything Donald Trump has done. It's the group think. It's the liberal think. It's how they all go the same way. And if their editorials mattered that much anyway, Hillary Clinton would have been president. Almost every one of those papers

endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. And that's my point about editorial is really not being influential or moving readers anymore. What a joke this whole thing is. It's ridiculous, folks. You get three hundred papers are all like, we just want to stand up for the First Amendment together because we would in the air of Trump if he travels

being mean? Nois are you kidding me? I at least have some respect for the papers that I look, we actually agree with what all these other papers were saying about Trump, but we're not going to join this because this is counter productive. It's idiotic. It is a slow pitch right down the middle. And Trump has just both hands on a Louisville slugger and he is about to grip it and rip it, folks, He's about to tear

the cover off the ball. Threspapers are all aware scared the Trump in the First Commendment and the RGI Amendment. You gotta be kidding me. What has he done? I mean, you know already made that was already Fleischer before was there on the Bush administration. What has Trump done to hurt the First Amendment? Nothing? Nothing, words you don't like

is not the same as silencing liberals. Just because you get owned by this president time and again in the press, it doesn't mean that he is shutting down the press when opinions don't mean and he's obinion scary. Really, the pearl clutching here's astonishing. And you know he eluded Ari Fleisher alluded this. I've been saying this for quite some time that yes, the press would write editorials. And we're concerned. We're concerned about what Obama has been doing when it

comes to press freedom. This administration has not been good on press freedom. We have some we have some problems. They weren't writting three hundred three paper editorials, though all joining together in collusion, you could say, against the Obama administration. Obama was seizing the phone records of journalists to get their sources multiple times. Obama was doing all kinds of

surveillance on journalists. Some of it is known about I can tell you some of it is not based on what journals here in d C that I know have told me from their personal experience. So Obama was willing to just do whatever it took to get whoever, whoever he wanted to get. And perhaps most chilling of all, the Department of Justice under Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, included James Rosen, a Fox News reporter, included his name

as an unindicted co conspirator in an Espionage Act prosecution. Now, not only is that way beyond what anybody else has has done in recent memory when it comes to First Amendment, because that really is chilling. Right, Well, your name is appearing in a federal espionage indictment as a reporter probably worries you a little bit. You start to think him. I next, Also, it was Fox News, and I couldn't help I read today because you know, you'll you'll get

these these blowhards from c and out of the places. Oh, we we didn't like when Obama did that. Yeah, you didn't like it. You didn't act like it was the you know, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which we get every day now with Trump. Everything Trump does is Pearl Harbor. He took up brands, friends clearance. He said something mean about almar Rosa. He he did, you know, just go down the list, Stormy Daniels. I mean, everything Trump does is the worst thing any human being has ever done.

I don't know how these people can sleep at night. They must have so much anxiety. You know, they must have real issues because they seem to think that Trump is basically destroying the country in new ways every day. And it's almost amazing how creative Trump is in destroying the country when you take a look at all the things that they're saying. But this, you know, Boston Globe calling for three papers to all stand in support of the First Amendment. The First Amendment is not under assault.

The fable, the falsehood, the lie of a neutral role press corps that is under assault, and it should be because it's a lie. These people who write for the editorial page of the Boston Globe, and I can't even think about, you know, the New York Times and all the different ones that were in this. There's something like, you know, the Cape cod Registered I think was in there. It's like, oh, the Cape of the cape Cod Register getting it on the action. It's like, oh, honey, did

we see the editorial today. I'm going to the beach, going to drink a south side Uh. You know the cape Cod paper got in that action. I remembered a few of the names that I saw. Was a lot of little papers. You're like, what they still have a paper there. So they're all saying that they stand together in solidarity in the First Amendment, and I just say, the First Amendment is not under assault. In fact, what they seem to have a problem with is the usage

of the First amenber that they don't like. The great irony here is that they are hoping to silence and deep platform people that they disagree with. That's what the left is doing now, right the left is the left is are you get all the kick him off Twitter, kick him off Facebook. So they're simultaneously assaulting free speech and claiming free speech is under assault for people that that they don't like. Again, they have no principles. They

just have a blind and ferocious pursuit of power. That's it. That's what they want, and they understand the media is a very important tool in that. And you know there are other areas of life where we understand that the dominant and this is where you get people, Oh, not everybody. What about Fox News? It's like that isn't an intelligence test when somebody says the media is not liberal? What about Fox News? Like, can we okay, of the media's liberal.

That's still a very big problem. Okay, No one's actually saying that every part of the meaning I'm technically in the media too. Oh you're in the media book. Yeah, I know. I noticed that my liberal by a liberal counterpart here on the show. It's not come across sounding very intelligence. But there are parts of of American society we understand that it's overwhelm with liberals. Faculty lounges and colleges and universities overwhelm with liberals. Um unions generally speaking,

especially public sector unions, overwhelm with liberals. Hollywood overrhulm with liberals. You know, you go down this list and you can think of all these, you know, community organizers overhelmed with liberals, environmental activists overhlm with liberals, all over hom with liberals. And I don't think any serious person argues that, right, you know, when when I look at my own college for example, and there are more self described self avowed

Marxists and Republicans on the college faculty. That seems to be indicative of something. But we're we're oh, the federal bureaucracy liberal plus the donations went to Hillary Clinton, folks plus. Yeah. But with journalism, they think that either that's not they they either reject that factual statement, which is just there in denial journal journalists or liberal No, they are, and anyone who says otherwise really needs to either pay closer

attention or start reading. Or they say, well, okay, just because journalists or liberals, just because three newspapers would all come together to say the same thing, to agree on the same thing on the same day, it doesn't mean that that affects the way they tell their stories, their editorial lines, the what they think is news and what they think is not news, the language they use in the coverage of their stories, none of that is affected.

It's just a lie. It's a line. But you see, there are a lot of liberals, including liberal readers, and and you know, the liberal audience gets very enraged by this too. This is this is why when people it's you know, when some of the anchors that see Ann for example, get challenged now by those of us who understand this media game and what's really going on. You know, their audience will get very nasty. You know, you're just doing it's because they have been fooled, you see, and

people don't like being fooled. But the CNN audience, the you know, ABC and This Week and NBC and all these different shows, they've been fooled into thinking that what they are getting is objective, fact based reality. But what they're really getting is a biased view of events that reinforces their preconceived notions, which they like, makes them feel safe and warm and smart. And that's the whole game.

That is what the mainstream media offers its liberal audience, not that they're getting a democrat or liberal interpretation or spin on events, but that they are getting the factual, straight down the middle, reality based interpretation of events. And then they'll go use words like undocumented immigrant. But they'll still say this, oh no, we're just the factual, down the center, you know, balanced neutral. They will say this is this is a great fraud, and the audiences of

that fraud don't want to hear it. You see. That's one of the That's one of the reasons they hate Trump so much. Trump isn't just calling out fake news. He's also by doing so, forcing the audiences who buy into the fake news to have to confront the reality of what it is that they've been watching or reading all these years and come to and they have to come to understand that, Wow, you mean that when I watch Wolf Blitzer, I'm not just getting an objective news

source that has no agenda whatsoever. People don't want to hear that. They want to think they were one of the smart people watching a Wolf great journalists, you know, watching Brian Williams, the ten million dollar a year man to read off a prompter, has no background in journalism beyond just looking like a guy in journalism who can go on TV and sound like a guy that knows what he's talking about. They put him on TV, paid a millions and millions of dollars. What what was his

great gift? What did he bring to the table. He's an actor, folks, A lot of them are actors. And now we're starting to see what who the wizard is behind the curtain with the whole mainstream media, and they don't like it. And that's what's really spurring on the three hundred different newspapers coming together. Oh my gosh, Trump, Trump is actually speaking the truth about this. It's catching on people see us for where we are. Our editorial pages are all liberal, by the way, they all they've

already all come out. Every single newspaper that was a part of this today. I'd be willing to bet you on their unsigned editorials, you know, had already officially endorsed, if they endorsed candidates, which some of them don't I know, but I'm telling you they all endorsed Hillary. The only newspaper that I can think of that endorsed Trump during the election was Las Vegas, the Las Vegas something or other.

I know, producer, Mike, I've pull out the I pull out the trivia like that off the top of my head, A smart guy. There we go, thank you, even even even the team. But the Freedom Hut squad sometimes gets a little impressed by that one. I think I'm right on that though. That was the That was the only one, uh, other than the Wall Street Journal. But I don't have the Wall Street Journal endorsed to candidate. I don't I

don't think. I don't think that they do. So this is a waste of everybody's time, this whole three newspapers coming together, Except it reinforces everything that Trump says about the media. So that's what I meant. He's not He's gonna knock the cover off this ball. I cannot wait. I cannot wait for some Trump tweets tomorrow. I think they're gonna be They're gonna be fantastic on this one. And you know, just make sure that you push back

when people say Trump is endangering the First Amendment? Say how, and don't say, oh, but it's rhetoric. Goodness, you know, always says the mean things about that. No, no no, no, how What action has he taken as commander in Cheither pulling Brennan's clearance. That's laughable, That's that's idiotic. It's not endangering anyone's first a minute, you don't have a right to a clearance. You certainly don't have a right to a clearance if you're gonna use it to undermine the

existing executive branch. That's a big problem. But ask them, where do you get this idea that the first round is being under me Because the fake journalists created the term fake news, folks, it was all fun and games to them. They were saying that fake news was what was being spread on Facebook and the Internet by Russian trolls and others. And Trump's also, dumb voters is what the elite media thinks. We're falling for the fake news. And Trump turned that around on them and smacked them

with their own weaponized term. And they don't like it. That's why it stinks so much. That's why they hate it. Fake news was supposed to be the elite way of sneering and condescending at you. And Trump said, oh no, you don't. You want to talk about fake news. Let's talk about fake news. You are the fakes. He's would the whole thing round. I mean, it was Trump jiu jitsu on this one, and it was incredible, or maybe

even Trump I Q do well. I have to say, of all the fighting styles, I feel like that one is not particularly effective because you need to be able to grab somebody's sleep. What if they were wearing a T shirt. I'm gonna get somebody who's in an audience who's like a ninth degree in I kdo is gonna yell at me for this one. That's what always happens I talk a little smack about taekwondo, and now everybody with a with a red belt in taekwondo says they're

gonna kick my butt. All right, We're gonna be back in just a moment. All right, team rack him and stack 'em. We got calls coming in from across the country. Nathan in Dallas, Hello, sir, Hey, she'll tie buck, she'll sigh. Okay, I'm not going to repeat too much. But if Brandon is going on the news insinuating the existence of Trump collusion, of proof of collusion, that is being sent cuation of a secret, how close to divulging a secret do you

have to be before you get your clearance? Bull, Well, exactly, You're you're completely correct. And that's and this is, this is what's so egregious. He You know, you don't just have free reign to run around and and and say whatever you want, especially if you've been the CIA director and to be undermining the commander in chief through the suggestion that your secret knowledge that nobody else can have is why you know what you know is a huge problem.

And if he, by the way, you know, if he really believes Trump is a traitor, and he has classified information to prove it. He should just he should throw himself on the mercy of his fellow citizens. Uh and and a jury and release that information and just tell everybody, you know, if he's a real patriot, that's what he would do. But no, he's playing that. I could tell you, but I can't because I'm I have a clear and

it's just all garbage. He's a liar. A conservative enough judge could put him in jail for devulging a secret. He just didn't go into too much detail about the team. No, I mean, I don't know. If I don't, I wouldn't of that far. But but what he's doing is it is a stretch, but it's on It is on ethical and he should have his clearance bold yep, I agree with that, Nathan. Thank you for calling it. Jeffrey and

Mississippi we got or jeff in Mississippi. Pardon me, We've got to about a minute, yes, sir, well, thank you to take my top book. Thank you. I want to say I was active duty in the military four years. I had top secret clearance. When I got out to the military, I lost my type top sec clearance. I don't know what all the hubbubs about about losing top secret clearance and it's it's a privilege. And I had to go back to work at Stenness and I got

my top secret clearance back. Yeah, they reinstated. That's what they do. It goes inactive, so you don't have it. We mean, you can't see secret stuff. But then if they need to bring you back into government service, you can reactive in it. This is very you know, it's really not that complicated. I know you know this exactly. I mean when you're taking their places like but there's the Maryland and you know it's a need in no basis and when you did jarved, Okay, I don't need

a topic of larrence anymore. But if I need it again, I can get it again. So yeah, no, I know, Jeff or Jeff, it's uh, you know you got it man, You're right. Uh And thank you for your service, sir, Thank you very much for your call. Big our two coming up a refugee who infiltrated this country and as part of isis we'll talk about it. Buck Sexton Mission

decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American, Frank, You're a great American Again, this is the Buck Sexton show at former CIA analysts, can you say something that despite the horrible immigration laws that we have to live with with catching real ease and all of the horror show it's a horror show, it to disgrace frankly, will get it changed, but uh, having a lot of problems with the other party because they

don't want to change for I guess political reasons. It can't be common sense. Could you say how we're doing in terms of we're breaking records at the border, law enforcement records. Could you maybe just get a little update on that, despite the horrible laws, we're doing very well. Pleased Trump understands the immigration issue because he refuses to get boxed in by other people to use the language they want him to use to speak about this the way that they want him to speak about it, and

and he just approaches us with common sense. The problem with our immigration policy and the conversation around it for a long time has been that there is no common sense applied to it, and there's also no consistency. That's a very important point. You know, we say that we're a nation immigrants, but we should be law by and then we say that illegal immigration is fine. Well, there's a lack of consistency. There isn't it. This is a problem.

But Trump has shocked and horrified the establishment because of what he says an immigration. Although we did have remember this, remember Chuck Schuber on illegal Just to remind you, play a play clip one. When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal, you're not gonna say it. I think it is illegal

and wrong, and we have to change it. Above all else, the American people want their government to be serious about protecting the public, enforcing the rule of law, and creating a rational system of legal immigration that will proactively fit our needs rather than reactively responding to future waves of illegal immigration. People who enter the United States without our permission are illegal aliens, and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered the US legally.

What happened to that Chuck Schumer That Chuck Schumer was making sense? Oh, I guess that Chuck Schumer is a racist? Now? Is that right. I I just somebody that folks that that's the the Democrat minority leader Chuck Schumer is there? Am I? Why is he? Why is he not a racist? Somebody tell me this? Why you know Trump and his pologies? Oh it's no racist? Why isnt Chuck Schumer racist? I don't get it. I need somebody to explain this one to me, and to do it in a way where

they actually use words that make sense. You're a smart guy. Well, thank you. It's the only explanation that's needed. Well, way, Mike, do we have my montage? I'm gonna We're gonna code red producer Mike. Right now, do we have a montage of people saying that refugees are all fine and good and everything else? That's right? You forgot, Yeah, you forgot that.

It's all right, everybody. I'm calling Mike out on live radio because producer Mike is is squared away of the time, but the one percent when he misses something, I like to mess with them a little bit. And I wanted it very cool because his his audio and video skills are phenomenal. I wanted a cool montage. Today. We don't have it, but it was gonna be Basically all those mainstream bozos were like, oh my gosh, like refugees, there's no there's no threat from refugees. Like, refugees just come

to this country cause they love it so much. And then they're perfect and they're amazing and they're better than Americans and they wonder why what you're giving me this? Yeah, that's it's all right, you missed. It's all right, buddy, Do you nailed it? I don't. You don't need a clip. Okay, do it. You know, Mike knows how to keep the quote talent happy. That's all you can say. Yeah, you nail the buddy. It's like my agent, you're doing great. Keep it up, You're doing great. Just be patient, You're

doing great. I'm like, wow, this is you could just record this. This is what my agent could just put this on a little tape player for me and whenever I'm like, hey, that deal come through. You're doing great, keep it up, you're doing great. Um, But I digress. So, so you're you heard a lot of stuff though about how refugees are. You know that they're like the best people on the planet always. I'm look, I know there

are some of those amazing refugees. There's amazing people from all over the place, folks, amazing people in every country of every background and color and ethnicity, and their in the world. Six are closer to seven. I think now seven billion people in the world, right, how many people? I don't even think they can really count that number. I'll be honest with you, I don't think they really know. They're guessing. So we'll call it seven billions. Seven billion

people in the world. And there's a lot of great people all over the place that all said refugee populations from war torn high terrorism countries. You would think, remember this, remember our whole premise here, folks. Trump approaches these things with common sense. Trump says, oh, what would a normal

person think of this issue? When it's explained to them the media and the Democrats are like, well, what's the thing that makes us all like feel the best about our elves and feel like we're just doing the most, like make the world more amazing. Um, So, with a

common sense approach, you would probably say, hold on. I think that if you were to take in large numbers of military aged males an acronym they used to use out in the military and in the intel community, right military age mail uh from countries that have a lot of jihadism, a lot of radicalization, and it's difficult to process them because what papers do they have, and you know they're coming from war torn country and they're also

are active efforts to get through these screening processes we have. You would think that maybe there would be some risks. We were told folks, and this goes into the Muslim band and all that stuff. We were told that to have any concerns about refugees from say Syria or Iraq or Afghanistan, any concerns was rooted in nothing other than

Islamophobia and racism. And there's never been anybody who's been a threat, even though not sure there's a guy arrested in Kentucky oh while ago who was actually ISIS or tied to al Qaeda in Iraq, but you know, they keep saying this, and and and then we have this little story that's getting very little play in the media right now about a a guy named Omar Amen who not to be confused with Omar Mateen, another Gee hottest terrorist, Omar Amine, who was arrested earlier this week in Sacramento,

where he had been settled after being granted refugee status. So this guy was granted refugee status. But there and by the way, was in the process of getting a green card. Folks. Oh, but they say that he was wanted in Iraq on a murder charge. So it looks like that's a little bit of a problem to get him a green card and to make him a permanent resident of this country after we made him a refugee or brought him in as a refugee. But it gets worse.

He wasn't just guilty of a murderer, let's say, because of some dispute with his neighbor. The allegation here is that, I mean, when the Islamic State rolled into Iraq, I mean went and was part of a torture and execution of an Iraqi police officer, I mean, was tied to the Islamic State. He was an Islamic State according to these court documents. According to the allegations here, he was

an Islamic State executioner. So, you know, we we may have more to say here, We have more information going forward about this guy, um, but what we know so far is that there are eight witnesses that say he was involved with a Q U I and ISIS and was guilty of a murder and was rolling around with ISIS guy. So that's right, folks, that whole refugee program that there's so many, there's nobody would ever get through it. You're such an idiot for thinking that it's a security threat.

You and the Trumpsters are such idiots. Oh that it hasn't been around that long? Has it? The Trump administration? What We've been here for eighteen months? And here we find out that this guy, um, this guy was an ISIS executioner and got through the process refugee process. So maybe extreme vetting is not such a crazy idea after all.

Maybe there are cracks in the system because you basically have a jihadest terrorist living in Sacramento, California, who was already gotten, who had already gotten through one hurdle in the system, and was in the process of getting a full on green card. You know that that this is where I have to stop and say, do we get to go back to all those people who said that there was it was just a crazy idea that there could be anybody who is coming in the refugee pipeline.

There's not that many refugees, but it's like fifty or something that we've taken in a year, and that that there might be somebody in in that football stadium size of individuals who's a problem. We were We were told that that's nuts and it's mean and his lomophobic and racist to say that. And now we find out no, there actually wasn't isis terrorist who slipped in. Do we get to talk to the people that said that Trump was crazy, that we were crazy? Now, of course not.

They'll just move on to the next thing. But here's something we should remember. We were right. I was so happy and Donald Trump declared that he was going to run. You all know him as the president. I know him as a friend, I know his heart. But Donald Trump

is a trump blazer on women's issues. And not only do I support him as a human being who has incredible character and a great vision, but his policies affect my community where I live in Los Angeles, and that's really why I stand by him, and I believe that you will see that this president is going to be incredible for this country. And I am excited about what's happening with this iministration. I'm very honored to be a part of that he was the right choice for America.

When I say Trump trained, I want you to say, choo choo, you already Trump trying true, Trump tru Trump trap true true. That was amar Rosa. Then everybody that was amar Rossa Omer. I see, I keep going back omar Rossa, amar Rossa. Uh. Things have changed a little bit. Now she's making all these allegations about Trump, and I think this is our last omar Rossa update for the certainly for the week and hopefully ever because she released it tape today, another tape when he say what did

I tell you folks? All along she was leading with the juiciest tape she had, which was with General Kelly, which wasn't juicy at all. Boring. It was General Kelly firing her butt because he should have fired her a long time ago. Nothing about that, uh, nothing about that tape or any of the exchange that went there was anything other than just the most mundane office you know, you fired, you fired, uh, And and she tried to

make something of it beyond that. Well, now she's got a tape of of uh Lara Trump, who I've got to say, I don't know her. I did her Facebook show a little while ago she was a very very nice, very very nice lady. I don't really know her beyond that, I've heard that she's a very nice lady from friends

of mine who know her. And you know, Omarossa has put this all over the place now where she secretly taped Oh wait, if I found out that somebody a friend of mine or or somebody that I worked with, secretly taped me and I wasn't engaged in some kind of egregious conduct, like if if they secretly taped me and I was saying, you know, I don't know. You know, I was saying, you know, you gotta do this for

me or else I'm gonna fire you. I mean, if there was some justification for it, well then you know you're bagged, right, But just to tape you for the sake of taping you, it's such a breach of trust. It's such a sleazy, slimy thing to do. But we are talking about omar Rossa here, and she taped Lara Trump giving her job. I'm playing the audio for you, knowing that the audio is boring and not that important, but just because I want to put this whole thing

to bed, uh please, so let's let's hear it. This is Omarossa get a job offer after she got fired. The only thing that we have to consider. We're talking salary as as part as the campaign is concerned that as you know, everything is public um and all the money that we raised and the pay salaries is directly

propp donors, small dollar donors for the most part. Um. So I know you are making under sevent nine at the White House, and I think we could work something out where we keep you right along dose long um specifically only haven't even add up numbers, but we're talking about like k a month. Uh what that adds up to? Yeah, that sounds like a fair deal for you. It sounds like a great deal. By the way, that's at the very very top of what you would make in a

in a government like a White House job. A lot of jobs, I forget how it works, but a lot of jobs. The federal service. You can't make more than a congressman, which tops out at around something like a eight. And you know that that that's getting up there. Beyond that, you really got to start getting a private sector. There's

some special employee exceptions. This is how you get like football coaches at public universities that are like, you know, tex Williams making seven point two million dollars a year because tex is bringing home those w's. Baby, Uh yeah, you know. I like Friday Night Lights Lot? What could I show? I love that show. Buddy Garranty, La La told your mama I was gonna take care of you and you know, but Daddy like my college money, Like La La, I was making an investment for the family.

I just I lost it all, baby, But give me a hug. I'm sorry, you know, no, Dad, I'm sorry. You know the do you want fun of am? I Like it sounds like I'm having an episode here, but I really do. That is actually from an episode of Friday Night Lights. You know what I'm talking about. You ever seen the show? Did I ever see the show? I love? Yeah, Buddy Gartty. I thought was like after the after Kyle Chandler and Connie Britten, Buddy Garrity was

like my favorite character on that was the best. But he's amazing, you know, he's uh, he's he's actually a Texan, unlike everybody else on that show. Who you do that? What's his name? You know, long hair abs guy? Whatever? That guy's name is Yeah, that guy that all the ladies like, Oh, he's sot him whatever. He's Canadian, all right, I know, Yeah, forget about at him like running around with a shotgun playing football and stuff. He's should be

him and playing ice hockey. Yeah, I guess. Anyway, Um, what the heck was I talked about before? Oh? Yeah, I was talking about public employees and other compensation is cap. We've got a little bit of a diversion there, so you can't make that much money as a public sector employee. And they're look, they're trying to pay on borrows a lot of money obviously because you know, they probably realized that she's a loose cannon and they wanted to stay on the on her good side as much as possible.

Obviously something of a fail there. But who records the their salary conversation and releases that. I mean, Mike, this would be like if I was, you know, sitting around talking to people here in the hill about my next story pitch, and they're like, yeah, that sounds good, buck right, And I'm like, oh, yeah, got you now having mundane, completely legitimate office conversations Like who would do that? She's a psycho. Dude, something's wrong with her, And I actually

do have a question for you about this. Um, why is it that every recorded tape is automatically deemed the farious by the media, Like just because it's recorded, it's automatically bad, like they did with Devin Neoness last week. Dude. That is a fantastic point. Is the assumption is that if you if someone is surreptitiously taped, they must have done something like wrong to get taped. Meanwhile, Omrose is a crazy person who's taping people who are basically like,

do you want me to get you a sandwich? I'm going out now for lunch, Like I'm gonna bring you back some Starbucks hopefully some black Rifle if you know what's good for you. But black Rifle coffee is the best coffee. Black Rifle coffee dot com slash buck Uh So yeah, I don't know, man, it's omeros thing. What what a was a physical of a story? Her? Her whole campaign around this is so desperate and so pathetic.

I'm not even going to download the free Kindle sample of her book to read and then trash because it's not worth my time. I did do that. Well, actually, I read Fire and Fury, so I gave that guy some money, much to my much to my my shame. Um, but there was so much in that book that I read too. I'm like, this just isn't But let's just

remember this, folks. The media was treating Omar Rossa like she was an elder statesman who had come forward to speak the truth about the Trump's because she was useful to them. Now that the whole thing is clearly a sham, a scam, that she's a scam artist. And yeah, she understands how to play Trump a little bit. Look, you know she did. She know, she knew how to get close to him, and she knew how to how to

talk to talk and uh, getting the Trump land. But she's out now, and really, I don't think she was able to put much of a dent in in Maga at all. I don't think so. I think she's gonna be Yesterday's news already. I guess theories news today or something. So that's I guess all yesterday. That's what the phrase is about. So I don't think we have to talk

about Iimrris anymore, which which makes me happy. We do have to talk about out Democrats being based and the economy and a lot of other very very important things though, and that specifically what the Democrats counter argument economy is that's coming up. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops the institutions because me is too super unpopular. I

would like a poster test this question. How many people in the Republican Party think that it would be okay for Donald Trump to dissolve their own grandparents. I'm virtually certain that if it was a Donald Trump related question you get like ten percent. That would be like Donald Trump has the power to everyone's including kill my parents, you know, like that's the just strength to which I mean, I don't make looks. I was just working through. I'm

trying to make the point. I think it's just a I think it's kind of a it's it's a test. There are certain things that that there is some number of people who they know his point that they just hear. The question is the media is trying to test my loyalty to Donald Trump, and if it's a question of whether Trump has the authority to do anything, they will say yes, no matter what that thing is. Well, look, Nicole.

I think we're moving very quickly towards an hour where we're going to test the premise in this country whether the President of the United States is above the law or not. It's very clear that we're heading towards a constitutional crisis, that this will head towards the Supreme Court. And we know that Rudy Giuliani, when he goes out and speaks, is not acting as the president's attorney, but as the president's mouthpiece, pursuing the only strategy that he

can pursue, which is trying to incite his base. Now, as he incites that that base gets smaller and the majority grows in opposition to Trump. But the smaller base is a harder and more intense one. So if you go back to a naugy ration day, Trump has less support today than he did, then his base is smaller, the Republican Party is smaller. Of the country has surrendered their intellectual sovereignty to Donald Trump. Of the country has

surrendered their sovereignty to Donald Trump. I mean, where do they get these buffoons and put them on TV to trash Trump? I mean, anybody can trash Trump like their trashy. It's just it's so childish and petty and easy. This is analysis for stupid people. You know. Yeah, ten percent would say it's okay to to kill their their parents. You know. That's that's right, that's really clever. That was Heilman a lot of MSNBC there, John, give me a bucks lap. I need to slap some people around buck slap.

We need we need the bucks laugh to be a little more. Here's something that you know that sounds First of all, John, I got a bone pick here, because with the he uh, it gives people a moment maybe to flinch or to evade the slab. So I think we got to come up with it more of just like a whoop. You know that was but that's like a little you know what I mean that that didn't even leave a mark. I think we can have us more of a slot than that. Honestly, we got I

gotta talk to somebody. I know some people get more of a slot. I want to, like, remember when you used to give your friend John, do you ever do this? We probably you're you're nice guys. You probably never did this, but a five finger, you know, where you go up to somebody's bare back and you just oh, man, you just five finger, they're back. It's it's kind of like, uh, the thing where people should grab your arm when you're and they would like take I can't even explain it,

but yeah, yeah I can't. That's right, you know what I'm talking. I can't say it anymore. It's a burn of kinds. But you can't say what kind of burned because you also can't say what kind of give her somebody is when they take something back after they've offered it to you, because that's also not allowed anymore. You know, if they want to take away those phrases, fine, but

we need to replace them with something. You know, you need to be like a j Leno giver because you let somebody else have the show and then you take it back, you know what I mean? Like you needed you did that? Did thank you? Did that reference work? I feel like that reference worked? Did you catch that one? But you know, Heilman and Schmidt, these guys, they just make a living going on in trash and Trump all the time. And and you'll notice how little focused there

is on what Democrats would do. And this is a big problem, folks, for the laught and for the Democrats. There's so little focused on what they would do. And Schmid's supposed to be Republican, although I think he's ones with like, yeah, I'm now a Democrat. I was the Republican. I'm the one. What do you Harraldson plan in the h Barrel movie? Non the Democrat? Uh, I think that he's now a Democrat. He's openly said he's a Democrat. I think, so, I don't know. I don't know the guy.

I just see mont It's just know his analysis and it's poor. And then there's Uh, then there's Heilman who's a journalist. So he's just a big lib. But what do they offer for making things better? Well, they want to put the you know that one of the big problems that I've always had with people who say, how could you like Trump? I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, why do you hate Trump? Said? Oh my god, she's so vulgar on ethical I'm like, you're right, Let's restore the

Clinton crime family to the White House. That's a great idea. You know people, you know, people who Democrats would be begging to have Jared and Ivanka back if they had to listen to a couple of Chelsea speeches. Yes, I've never done anything of any interest, but everyone's supposed to think that I'm special because my mommy and daddy are famous politicians. Give me six hundred thousand dollars to do fifteen minutes of work on NBC and be terrible at

it because I talk like this, that's it. They'd be like throwing the towel, bring bring back the Trumps. I can't take any more Chelsea Clinton because, by the way, if Hillary had won, they would be grooming Chelsea for her turn. I do not like this trend toward de nasty, dynastic families in in politics, and I do not like dynasties in politics. And I do not like that we are heading in this monarchical direction. I don't even know

if monarchical is a word. I'd like to say it, though, you know, like cockamamie, it's fun to say, or you know, what are some of What are the other good words? I don't know. I can't. They're not coming to me right now with Hinky that's right from the fugitive so Heilman and Schmidt saying crap about her, but they don't ever give you. Okay, Democrats will be better because what they're gonna put Bernie Bernie Sanders hopes you don't do math or can't do math? Elizabeth Warren, Oh, you know what,

let's let's let's actually let's hear from Elizabeth Warren. Um. Here's what she says should happen in America. Player play clip twelve. Please. My proposal says, let's get a live system and let's get these corporations to charter sederally, the ones that have more than a billion dollars of says every year. And let's have a couple of features. First one, let's put some employees on the board. Let the employees that like some people, so you've got multiple representations on

the board itself. Second one, let's change the compensation structure for the CEOs to say that the CEOs will not be permitted to choose the price. And then once they choose the price, make a quick sale, make a bazillion dollars, and keep emphasizing the incentives. That's what we've got now for short termism. I want to get rid of it. Yeah, I want to get rid of that. Want to be the ones who are making the decisions for the American corporation.

You know, it's a little thing we'd like to call socialism. By the way, that's actual socialism. Now once you start having the government controlling the means of production, controlling corporate America and the power structure within it, and the and compensation structures, and now you are getting into like actual hardcore socialism. Elizabeth Warren needs a little refresher. She of Harvard Law School needs a little refresher on private property

and capitalism. Obviously, by the way, the way she speaks her whole persona to mean this, Yeah, she reminds me of John of a a kind of a cookie woman who would wear like an oversized T shirt with like timberwolves and owls on it, who works in a store that sells essential oils and wind shimes. You know what I mean is that you am I paying the picture for you? Yeah, she's like an old hippie exactly. She's got kind of an old hippie vibe, but it put

a self righteous old hippie, not the fun kind. She's the kind of old hippie where where you walk into a wind chime store, she's like, I'm sorry, are those leather shoes you're wearing? Yeah, leather comes from animals. Correct, but that that was she just threw that out there, like government should regulate board seats for companies and give it to workers. Folks. That is Harry marksis sounding, isn't it.

What do you think about this? The guy the the company belongs to the shareholders, It does not belong to the workers. This is really straight out of the Carl Marks playbook. Now this is getting scary. This is a sitting US senator. And think about what she's saying too. We're just getting just gonna take it and give it to the boards. He took. Well, excuse me, this is these are private companies. What do you mean You're you're

just gonna give board seats to workers. To give them would mean to take them, to take them, would mean to appropriate them, to seize them by force, which when the government does, is a scary thing. Starts to sound a bit almost like you're gonna nationalize things. I mean, that's that's the direction that she's really heading in here, folks, And and it is. It is troubling stuff. It is troubling stuff. I gotta say, Um, Democrats don't have any

serious people to post Trump. That's one of the biggest problems they've got a lot of people who think they're really eloquent in bashing Trump, But no, people on the on the left were eloquent in making the case for why they would be better at running the country than

the president is. Right now, they certainly can't point to any observable objective metrics that there's nothing that they can can bring up that that would make you think, oh, yeah, you know what, you're right, they'd be better at running the country because of fill in the blank, right, There's nothing that they're able to come up with and say on that issue that, in fact, I want to talk about that. Let's talk about the positive side of this equation.

How how is the economy doing and what's the left saying about it? How how do they counter message? Look, we're going into a mid term election here, folks pretty soon. How does the left counter message on the economy at a time when the economy is booming? What are they saying about this? I will walk you through the talking points so that we can shred them together, and we will then also get into a whole lot more coming

up in the third hours. Stay with me. We're creating manufacturing jobs at the fastest pace in memory, nobody has any numbers where it's anywhere close to what we're doing. And if you remember, during the campaign, everybody said that it was impossible to create manufacturing jobs. The past administration, I won't say who, but I think you know made the statement that we're not gonna have any manufacturing jobs, and we're doing them. By the hundreds of thousands. Companies

are moving back into the United States. That means jobs, that means production, it means taxes, and really things are great by far, by far. The single biggest events, being political or otherwise, this year is an economic boom that most people thought would be impossible to generate. Not a rise,

not a blip, a genuine economic boom. And everybody wrote us off going back to the campaign man as was put into place, uh last year, and now the followed through this year, and the numbers are coming in and they just keep coming in. That's right, folks, The numbers keep coming in, and they're telling everybody who will pay attention that the country is doing great. Wow, you mean that pulling back regulations giving people greater freedom to run their businesses, to do what they do, to let the

business of the American people be business. You mean to tell me that that could have a really positive impact across the country on workers, on on unemployment, on growth, on investment. Oh my gosh, who could have known? Oh, that's right, Republicans did, and Trump certainly did. Big been a headline did on the Wall Street Journal, stock surge on upbeat earnings. Uh, dal Jones gets its biggest one day gain in four months, folks, big day today. And

you know, we're we're we're keep seeing that. Oh my gosh, the tariffs, oh trade war, all this and then nope, you know what, Actually, the American businesses are very bullish about the future. The stock market obviously is bullish, and American businesses are bullish. And you know, I think that this is a huge problem for the left if this,

I mean, this continues on. I don't know what they think they're gonna be telling people that they're gonna replace this with right, I mean, what are they gonna say, we want to make the country crappier and poorer. And could Low, who's a smart guy. Look, I know he's with the administration and he's going to take a positive view of these things in general. But Goodlow says that things are just getting started play eighteen. I'm saying this, we are just in the early stages. We're in the

early innings here. We never had calf goods boom we're now starting, and we've never seen income numbers like this again, after tax, after inflation. Policies matter in America's free market economy. Ordinary people run our economy, entrepreneurs, that's the beauty of it. But policies matter. And when you change that switch, as President Trump has changed that switch, things are happening. That a handful of this thought might happen, but I would not say it was wide spread. So I'll just end, sir,

and I appreciate the time very much. Um. The single biggest story this year is an economic boom that is durable and lasting and that most people thought was impossible and wrong. And you were not only and this is really important. Not only did they think that that economic boom was impossible, but there was also a very clear prediction that was echoed by all the major media outlets and all the different people out there. They're putting to

the economists that Trump was gonna tank the economy. Right, So it's not just that things are okay, and they said they would be terrible. They the so called smart people, the people are supposed to be able to predict these things, you know what's going on. They said it was all going to be awful, and it's not just been not awful, it's been fantastic. You have more money now in your bank account, you have more money coming in with each paycheck, and your four oh one K is growing because of

policies enacted by this president. That matters to me. I have a feeling it matters to you a lot more then whether every tweet that he puts out meets the standards of of presidential decorum that I would just note didn't apply to you know, Bill Clinton. I mean he didn't have Twitter, but my gosh, they're really gonn lecture us on decorum when that was there and they said he was a great president, folks, I was a great president.

Like just you know, just get all close. I don't have Twitter, So if I wanted to like have a d M a direct message, I had to call ladies right in my office with no one else around. Just turn the lights down. Hey, you're in the oval. You know. That's always I want to always take the bill. The creepy Bill thing a little further. But you know, it's a family show, so I gotta like gotta censor myself

a little bit. Oh but then then the the counter narrative, the counter narrative that you will hear from the Democrats, of course, is pathetic, but it's all they've got, which

is it's the babacadamy, it's the Obama economy. Now, without getting into how you can point a very specific decisions that Trump made that were the reasons for this growth and this optimism and this prosperity for the American people, let me just say that, does anybody doubt for a second, then if the stock market attanked, you know, if unemployment was ticking up to you know, seven eight percent, if any of that stuff had happened, which was right in

line with what the left, they'd be saying that it wasn't Trump's fault, that it was the Obama economy. Hangover. No, So we're not gonna take them seriously because they are a bunch of hacks When they say, oh, at the Obama economics, it's so great. The fact that they're calling at the Obama economy is just an admission of the fact that it's doing great and it's the Trump economy. You know what's really important for you, folks at home security?

This is the Buck Sexton Show. Is Buck Sexton. No. That disappoint to me is the division and the fact that we're having to count people based on their skin color. I don't

like that. And I think that you know, you look back at our history and we we have a pretty amazing history of overcoming slavery, of expanding civil rights, of women's rights, and a lot of those things happened under American presidents who didn't have any um minorities at all on their white houses. Thank god, we do. You know

what's this? And that's great, but you just really missed the mark for you to have to say right that we don't necessarily need diversity in this white not what I said, but but let me do It's not what Let me just tell you what I heard, because I don't think you hardly understand because you're not going to keep doing is talking over me. Because my black life

matters and so does my voice. So what you're gonna do right now is listening to what I'm saying you this white house not having diversity can be akin to presidents who didn't have any black people, their staff, but for slavery. I think I got stuck at Gina saying that American presidents have done a great deal for people of color, like ending slavery. Like I think I'm stuck in eighteen sixty five right now. So regardless of your points about slavery, which are nonsense, I hope that you are.

I p those talking points tonight. They should never be resurrected. I'm telling you that it's a problem in this White House with the staff, and the reason why it is because it's slim pickings, you know why, Because nobody wants to go work for a racist. That's what you get over at CNN these days, folks. That is what I That's what I'm missing out on these days. Some of some of that that was Dr Gina Lowdon and Angela roy I Actually, I I know angel a little bit.

Uh worked there a couple of times over there, did a few segments with her, and she's become more aggressive on air since I knew her. I mean, she used to be a little more. She came from Capitol Hill, you know, she had worked as a stafferd there, and now she's gone kind of full on, uh pundit ambush artists and and and it's disappointing, but I guess it's not surprising. And to go after Gina loudon this way. Look Dr Dr lowdon or Gina what's called her Gina.

He's trying to have a civil discussion about the point that's that's now been raised. But how there's a lack of diversity in the White House right now. And what I would say to that is this is actually a much more complicated discussion then just there's a lack of diverse. Core's omar Rosa. They brought in as diversity outreach specifically to do that. But you will notice that the way

that the Democrats have hit this you so hard. Even black conservatives, I think recognize there's a there would be a particularly difficult public reception for them outside of the White House where they go work for this president. I don't I don't have to get very creative to come up with what they would say, what the Democrats on the left would say about African Americans who go work for President Trump. Now there are I mean, you know, there's there's Dr Ben Carson, who I think I'm actually

gonna be interviewing in the next few weeks. Uh, there are, Um, there's Katrina Pearson who is involved with a pack. I'm gonna forget what the specifics are, but no, there's no question right now, there's not a senior you know, African Americans not senior Black American. Uh you know, I know we can use the terms interchangeably black American who is in the White House at a senior level. And I'm just saying that part of this is because that person,

whoever it would be. Then you know that the whoever the person is that that Trump would try to hire, now let's say to put them in the White House, but that person White House would be under incredible pressure not to take the job. So you know, they play this gotcha game of well, you don't have any senior black people in the White House right now, but we all know that those same Democrats would be saying, oh my gosh, this black person is is betraying their race

by going to work for Trump. That is what the left would say, because the media across the board, they You've got mainstream anchors on the biggest network saying Trump is a racist, that he you know, gives comfort to the KKK, that he's a all all right, and you know, white nationalists and all this stuff. So they make it virtually impossible for Trump to be able to recruit senior

level black staff for the White House. And they make it very difficult not just for Trump to get anybody, but for anybody who would be offered the job to take it, which is a company but you know that never gets talked about. And then there's another piece here, which is that you know, Angela Ry is on a network right now, see and end that's putting all these pundits on air to bash the White House for its lack of diversity. And you can check for yourself. You can go to CNN dot com and look at the

senior CNN leadership. Every single person there um is not black. There's not a single black senior member of CNN, one of the biggest you know, global news networks in existence. There's not a senior, a single senior executive who's black, not one. So is CNN racist Because if if CNN doesn't have a senior black executive, just because of the hiring that they've done, they didn't have a candidate at

that time that was the best candidate. You know, I could be willing to accept that explanation, right, But wouldn't that also apply to the White House. Isn't it possible that they had a senior black executive Omar Rosa. She left and you know they haven't gotten anybody else yet, but it might be circumstantial and not prejudicial or based in prejudice. Isn't that possible? If if the White House is racist, then for not having anybody who's black and

senior leadership. Isn't c an n racist for not having anybody who's black and senior leadership. I'm I'm just wondering, I would want to know about maybe I'm missing something, but that that that, to me is a question that I think should be asked. But but then by the way back to this CNN ambush theater, it gets even it gets even nastier because Gina Lowden has a a a minority of an African American adopted child who has

learning disabilities. And then she tries to say she she this is this is a classic thing that you'll do that that I've dealt with at CNN two. This is what ends up happening. You just figure, you know what, I'm a good person. I'm gonna assume this other person on air is a good person. I'm going to extend some kind of olive branch to them and really try to treat them with respect and dignity in this conversation by saying, look, I get where you're kind, I understand

your concerns. I disagree with you, but you know, ultimately we are all on the same team. And when you do that at CNN, I can tell you when you do that with liberals in general. Now, when you extend your hand to them in a basic human common courtesy, solidarity move, they slap your hand away. You get that racist hand out of my face, you get that Trump supporting hand out of you know. They don't want to

shake your hand. They don't want to accept your effort to see them just on on basic human common ground terms. I don't want that, no matter who the anchor is, no matter who the pundit is or whatever. You know that that they don't really want that. They want to keep you in that position where you're the bad guy or bad gal. And this is a perfect example of that with Rye and Loud in place six. I understand your feelings on this, but here's my point. I have

a I have an adopted minority son. Yes, I do. Who happens to have down to them. He experienced his bigot try every single day in a myriad of ways, not just because of his skin color, but also because of his disability. And I understand that you and I don't agree, but I would not support a president that I believed was going to be a right to his future.

So what I'd like to have a constructive conversation. And I think, you know, I think points like yours that are that are focusing only on the negative and not even acknowledging seven hundred thousand new jobs for black people in this country, record low unemployment and the rest of it.

It's tantamount to what Andrew Cuomo said today that upset me to that America has never been great and we've done well, and it's not focus on focus on into the United States and then and then and then bring out your son as an example, like you've got to focus on. Wow, you see what's happening there. First of all, she doubles down on quomoa America has never been great.

You know, this is a this is a refrain that uh you hear in in a lot of Democrat minority communities these days, right, You'll hear people that will say this, and and it's it's troubling, you know, it's troubling. I mean, what is the name John of that? Um? Uh, well, I can't remember what it is the this is America music video, but I guess this is America. I can't remember the name of the the artist though, childish, childish, cambigo.

That's right, you know that there it really is still this sense among the Democrat left, and I mean minority communities across the board, Hispanic African Americans, somewhat Asian communities to believe that America is really this oppressive, terrible system and it has to be dramatically reformed. And I just think that that's unfortunately. I wouldn't say it's delusional, but

it is completely devoid of any sensible context. It fails to take into account where America is visa be the rest of the world, and what America has done for the rest of the world. And it's troubling to hear this out there. Um. But also just you'll notice that that was a real I could tell that that that gin a lout in there was trying to say, look, I I have a child. I don't know if the child's African American. Actually, and I said learning disabled, that

meant to say down syndrome. I just forgot when we're doing our clip run through. UM. But you know, I have a child with Down syndrome who's a minority. And and I would not support this president if I really do. And and Angela right just slaps the hand right away, just as I said, just slaps it away. You should be ashamed of yourself. People like you or the reason this country has never been great. Wow, Yeah, that's right, Angela.

People who adopt minority children whose parents I'm assuming abandoned them. Uh, and with Down syndrome. No, less, They're not the reason the country has never been great. They're actually the reason. People like Geena Loudon who do things like that, who show love and kindness to their fellow human beings irrespective of of race or creed, or or or ability or

or disability. They're actually why country has been great for as long as it has, and why it continues to be the single most profound, most important source of progress and liberty and freedom and decency and prosperity on the planet in existence this country that you and I live in and that's why, you know, Cuomo had a missed up.

But Croomos and he's just a it's really kind of a sad person because he's just an angry, imbecile who has ridden the coattails of his family name into into office in New York, but has no real vision for making other people's lives better. It's just all about Cuomo. It's all just self indulgence and and and pursuing what he viewsed as his family legacy, but then to have it doubled down on by Angela Ry And and there are others too who will say, yes, sure, America has

never been great. This is a message that they should They should just keep getting this message a message going into the midterms. You know, they should just keep telling the American people as much as possible that they do not view America is great. And the Republicans and Trump can say, you know what, we actually think this place is great, has been great, and it's just gonna get even greater going forward. It really separates left from right

these days. That single point of difference. Should plastic strawsby band? Should we ban plastic straws? Absolutely? Do you think we should ban plastic straws. Why do you think that because they're bad for the environment and they cause a lot of pollution, they kill the babycy turtles. What else should we ban to help save the environment, My goodness, come up with a better idea for like plastic lids on to go cups and paper lids. Paper lids would be great.

What do you guys do to help eliminate your carbon footprint? Recycle? Wow? Heartwarming? What else could we do to help fix the environment? I think you know what I've been like seeing in different places, Like people have just been like planting fruit trees in public streets, and that's like dope in the ocean. If you cut open a fish. I saw like an article about this, and like all that's inside them are

plastic straws. Should businesses be able to choose whether or not to use plastic or should the government just tell them they can't use it? I think the government should tell them we should stop using plastic. Think about it, Like people could eat fruit for free, like state, like planted by the state, trees fine by the state. They could eat fruit. Homeless people could eat fruit, and it's giving osten in to the air. So the government pays

for the fruit trees? Sure? Why not? And what do you think is worse plastic straws here or people coming into this country illegally? Oh my god, plastic straws. Think this isn't all okay? What do you think is the best alter in it of two plastic straws? Um? Well, I the place that I work, we started using paper straws, and a lot of people have an issue with paper straws because they're what do you think is a bigger priority to to stop plastic straws or illegal immigration a

bigger priority? I would say straws. But I think straws, I just like straws are like the much scarier than like illegal immigration, because like the straw like strangles the baby turtle, but like illegal immigrants just like do the jobs that like I won't do because like I don't want to break a Now, Oh boy, that was from Prager.

You asking a much people about the straw band. This is one I know that this is one of the be in the bonnet subjects for me, right, I admit this that this whole stuff about and anything about environmentalist wacko stuff gets me just drives me up the wall. I hate that I have to separate out all of my different old There's this recyclable and now there's composts, and there's non compostable waste, and there's compostable waste, and there's recyclable glass, and there's no I mean, this is

all crazy stuff. Okay, it doesn't make any difference. It is the tyranny of an environmentalist mindset that has replaced Gaya with or God with Gaya, like Mother Earth is now the deity and we are all supposed to worship at at her altar. Of course, Gaya, you know, female Mother, not not God, is just an eternal being of goodness, love and light and all that stuff. So they were more upset about the straws. I guess that's not surprising at all. The straw band in uh oh my gosh,

there's more. It's spreading, folks. The straw band is spreading. You know. Starbucks is banning straws, as you know. But also now there are restaurants in Charlotte, restaurants in Atlanta. I didn't even know. I'm just seeing this now, all getting rid of straws. It is so dumb. It is so dumb. I swear this is not This is not the problem, folks. Week We are responsible. America is responsible for a very small percentage of the plastic waste that gets into the ocean. You know who's responsive for a

lot more of it? Huge developing countries, China, India. Do you think they give a you know what about the turtles? I don't know. That was like my it sounds like a goat. I was trying to do a turtle noise, not just sound weird. Um. It would have been better if you could have seen my face. I do a good impression of a baby turtle, but you have to see me, and you guys can't see me. Right now,

that's where we're gonna set up a livestream soon. That's gonna happen, by the way, Oh that's right, it's happening. I got big plans, folks, I got big plans for the Freedom Home. We've got all kinds of things that are gonna be happening. But the straw band is completely insane. It makes no it makes no sense. And they still have a California still has jail time for defying the

straw Band. I mean, you know, you say you say they would never actually put somebody in jail for this, but then you also have to deal with Well then why is it on the books? Why say you could theoretically go to jail for something this stupid? And I think that that's there's no good answer for that, right A thousand dollars and a term not exceeding six months in prison. I think though, it's for each offense, and the offenses are uh, the offenses are based per straw,

and this whole thing is just sheer idiocy. I I just hate and I had to separate some recyclables today. I hate recycling. It's not They've done studies. It's not good for the environment the way they say it is, it's a giant pain in the butt. I don't want to do it anymore. And the environmentalist left, they just

get to be the ones. Look, I believe in clean air and a clean environment, and I don't want you know I'm I'm the one who tells you that the way you can tell how advanced the country is is by what it does with its garbage, meaning is it clean, are the streets clean, do they take care of waste? Do they remove waste from the streets. But to take it to this whole other level of act like we should be almost all our own specialty garbage men who are separating the stuff out all the time. It's it's

just craziness. We're gonna do a double dose of roll call because I'm not gonna get to hang out with you tomorrow because the Godfather, Michael pel because in that is coming up. Yea team, Buck, it's time for roll call. Man. I gotta say, every time I go up in New York, I get a little, uh, a little savod I have to leave. I love that place. You know, home is home, and I know it's wherever you are across the country.

I'm sure a lot of you are like Buck. You know, I'm I'm just there's no place on earth that I love as munch as uh French lick Indiana. You know, I mean, I know there's somebody listen to that. That's how you feel. And home is home. Uh d C is I'm in political exile here in d C. But it's alright to be back. Let's see all my colleagues here at the hill. That's always fun, all right, Let's get into this uh Facebook dot com slash buck sex and by the way, guys, listen to the I got

a long form interview with my buddy Dan Bongino. We have a great talk. I put them through a lightning round. We we really get into it, and uh, you know, I think you'll enjoy that in the Freedom Hut podcast. So even if you're listening live, if you're not somebody who does the podcast thing, it's a great chance to

try it out. And it's not really new cycle base, right, so even if you don't get to it till this weekend or next week, and all the previous episodes of the Freedom Hunt are worth listening to as well because it's just interviews with people that you want to hear stuff from. It's not it's not overtaken by events. If you miss it the first day, so you can go back listen to all of them and we have a

lot of fun. Mean, I don't know people that the Jesse Kelly and Seawan Parnell on was great, although their audio there were some audio issues there which you know. Of course, the Army Ranger messing up the coms. I could count on the marine, that's all I can tell you. The marine came through, but the Army Ranger we were in a hot LZ and he was not getting it done. Uh. We had a great chat with Raheem Kasam and and

Benny Johnson. Uh. Also so we've we've had a lot of fun here on those shows that I think you'll enjoy hearing Dan Bongino. All right, let's get to the next one. The first in Roll Call Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton Matthew writes, missed you this morning on Rising. Almost fell out of my chair when Gorka accused Crystal of fake news. He did a good job. I can't believe she tried that false talking point. She can be hard to listen to at times. Hope everything is okay,

Shields High. I heard that doctor Gorka told Crystal that her her talking point was fake news. Uh. Cork is great man. I'm gonna tell you guys about Gorka too. He's an academic, but uh, I gotta tell you gork is an academic, but he wouldn't want to catch that guy on the wrong side of a bar you know what I mean, or wrong side of a bar fight. He's a big dude, I I know, and he's I can always tell to He's a big dude. He can

he can handle himself. You I'm just saying, you know, some of these guys you see and you're like, oh, yeah, whatever, not go Gorka. I'm telling you, Gorky, I'm just saying, Gorky could throw a punch. John, I'm telling you He's not a guy that you would you would easy, you would easily want to mess with. Yeah. We actually we talked to Bongino a little bit on the podcast about Brazilian jiu jitsu, which he's really into. But but Gorka is ready, He's ready to throw it out. Man, He's

a warrior. I like that guy. I like Corka anyway, let's get into I like Crystal too. She's my friend. They had a little dispute and they selled it like adults, all right, Steve hey buck love the show. I'd like to take the kids over to the swamp to see some of the museums, but don't know if there's the crazy protests plan for the upcoming weekend. I'd really rather not stumble into a situation with an angry liberal mob with my daughters and tow do you know where I

can look to find out if anything is planned? Since you are a swamp creature. Now, I figured you're the best resource, Steve Steve Um. Yeah, I'm pretty plugged in here. In fact, I have I have government local d C government contacts that I can always ask about what's going on with protests or anything else, and they can give

me a really good heads up on it. I'm not aware of any protest right now, and if that changes, I will certainly I'll certainly right you back here on on roll call and get too as soon as I can. By the way, today on the in the Quiet Car, somebody was took a phone call. This is on the amtrack.

You know, they have the Quiet Car, which is an outpost of civilization in the world gone mad, and someone pulled out not just started talking on the phone, but the phone was ringing, like with the old school phone ring, which nobody should have that old school phone ring. It's very jarring, it's very loud. So the old school phone ring to his cell phone and then he says, you know,

he's like, hey, yeah, what's going on, buddy. You know, it starts talking really loudly, and I leaned over so I could make eye contact, and I gave him the whole uh you know, pointed point at the and point at the sign. To his credit, the guy backed off and he left the He left to make his phone call in the next car, which is what you should do. And somebody looked at me and nodded an approval in the car, of course. And I'm just saying, you know,

not all heroes wear capes, folks, Not all heroes wear capes. Uh, Roger writes, buck omar Rossa took a personal device into a skiff NDAs and arbitration should be the last of her worries. Roger, I'm I'm pretty sure I'm correct on this one. It is not illegal to take an uh A personal device into it. It It is. It is against regulation, but that's different if you record class FIED on an unclassified device, that would be illegal. UH. It is a security violation to bring a cell phone into it a

secure space. To my understanding, it is not for civilians. I can't speak the military side. You guys have you know under U C MJ. For example, you can't even like you can't cheat on your wife. I mean, there are things that civilians don't have to abide by as as a code. Although now you're gonna probably say buckets actually legal to cheat on your wife too, I know, but not enforced in civilian life. And U C MJ.

My understanding as it isn't forced very serious. Uh so, yes, Roger, thank you for writing in we have Philip right Shields high Buck. I heard you mentioned yesterday that you like guest recommendations. I think you ought to consider a very good friend of mine and retired fellow retired Army officer Tony Dean Colonel you and the U. S. Army who has first hand insights into the Sunni Awakening and and Bar he wrote about it in his book Ramadi Declassified.

Tony spearheaded the Sunni Awakening in two thousand and six as the lead task force came under in that effort. Um, keep up the great analysis you. You've been having excellent guests on the show. You've got a great lineup. Refently and encourage you to continue to mix to your own analysis. Uh continue it as a mixed your analysis, Shields Ye, Phil, thank you, Phil. Yeah. Look, I try to my my mandate every day on this show is to make this

as worth your time as possible. That's my every single day, every goal of every segment bring you information and entertainment. And insight and and uh, you know the sense of the tribal belonging that we all have as patriots who come together here on this show. Uh, that's my goal every day. So if I'm getting good guests on and that's helping, fantastic. Adam, Right, it's good morning, Buck. Have

a question for you today. With Washington d C's restrictive gun laws, could you carry a black powder revolver for personal protection? The Bureau of Alcohol's back on firearms doesn't consider it a firearm, So just wondering, Adam, you have stumped me on this one. I don't know. I would say this though. D C is so crazy when it comes to firearms that they have actually arrested people in the past. Uh. And I remember the case. I spent a lot of time covering it when I was at

the Blaze. They have arrested people in the past for having shotgun shells, including a shotgun shell that was deformed and unusable, so it wasn't even really live ammunition ammunition. It was essentially a miss I can't remember if it was a misfired shell or but it was inert for

all intents and purposes. I heard somebody go on TV recently and say for all intensive purposes, and I'm like, you know, that's just when you should that that it gets a lot of people intensive purposes And besides the point are two that people just we all get caught up sometimes, but those are two you gotta avoid total departure. Adam,

for what you're saying, I don't know. It's a good question, but if I was going to defend myself with a black powder revolver, I do feel like I would um need to wear a try corner hat and breaches and maybe carry a saber with me as well, and then I would really complete the whole situation. So but thank you, Adam, thank you very much for writing in. Aaron, hey Buck,

just wanted to check in on my previous message. UM. Pastor Michael Anthony is currently speaking on the breaking news of Jack Phillips of Masterpiece Cake Shop suing the state of Colorado for the treatment he received from denying to bake a cake for a transgender birthday. Would you be interested in having him on your program? Uh, Aaron, I have passed this along to the team and uh, I'm sure we're in contact. I will follow up with them

and we we'll see. I will tell you Aaron that just I rarely have guests on the show that I don't know or don't know their work, and that's kind of a quality control mechanism. It's not because I don't trust the suggestions from the audience. So when I asked for guest suggestions, I'm usually it's usually people that we've heard on the show in the past, that you want for a deep dive or that you want back on the show. Because bringing people from the outside world that

I don't know. And when I say, I don't have to know the person, but if I don't know their work, if I've never heard of them before, I in my earlier radio career had that happened a few times and the results were the results were poor in terms of the segments that we got out of it. So I try to avoid any surprises like that, you know what, we're gonna do another real call, because I'm gonna be out tomorrow. The Godfather, Mike Opelca is gonna be in

for me. That's right, Opelca is gonna be taking the wheel here, which also means that the Freedom Hunt podcast for this week is a little extra special important because It's almost like it's in place of me appearing on Friday, I guess. But Michael Pelkill be doing a great job tomorrow, and please do join him as you can and make sure you give the Godfather all the support that he needs. We are gonna come back into more roll call here in just a moment. The show ain't over yet, folks.

It's time for roll call. All right, let's get to it. I'm not gonna waste any time here, Erica. Right. So I saw this on a friend's Facebook page. Had to pass it on to you. Jack Burton Truck and Company T shirt. I love it and I should get one for myself. H Thomas writes Buck. I was glad to see Sebastian Gorka on Rising this morning to set the record straight on the privileges and responsibilities of having security clearance.

The arguments by the Progressives that John Brennan and other partisans from the Obama administration have a right to keep their clearances is a lie. I'm glad he emphasized that your point, your and in did a good job today. I'm guessing you're busy making the move from New York to d C. I'm starting to enjoy the discussions on rising,

but Crystal has to lose that perky giggle. It's too frequent and gives the impression she's mocking the comments being given by guests and could be replaced with a canned laugh soundtrack. Keep up the good work, Thomas, Thomas, thank you. I've read that one do in Gorka voice. Um, Like I said, I love Gorka and you guys know here if I didn't know when something bad about him, because the guys like six four two forts a big dude. Uh. Next up here we have Ronnie trying to remember yesterday's show.

There are Michelle Obama and Donald J. Trump or deal Ronnie. I don't know what you're saying, but thanks for writing. Stephen, Chill tie Buck. If you're heading to Austin, you have to try Franklin's b b Q. Best barbecue I've ever had in my life, and I have had a lot of barbecue, will Stephen. That makes two of us, and uh, I love barbecue. I'll tell you there's a little place. There's a little place on Route twenty two, which when you're heading north out of New York City, when you

get on six eight four after the Hutchinson Parkway. You find yourself on Route twenty two. There is a little roadside restaurant known as Big W's b b Q in Poughkeepsie, New York. And you don't think of Pokeepsie, New York as Wait, no, not is it Poughkeepsie. I might be off. I think you know, I think it is Poughkeepsie. Well, you know what, I'll find out, because I do want to give you the wrong place for those of you who are listening, because I know that we actually are

on in Poughkeepsie. We have a radio station there, Big W b b Q, New York. Where is it exactly? It is? In hold on, I'm getting there. I'm getting there. Wingdale, Wingdale, not Pockepsie, Wingdale, New York, which is about an hour and thirty minutes north of New York City. And the brisket there is world class. It is absolutely delicious. It is as good as any brisk get I had in all of my barbecue forays in Texas. And it's not

a not a flashy place, you know. You know, if you looked at it from the outside, you like, do they serve burgers, they have grilled cheeses, You know. No, it's a barbecue place, Big Ws Barbecue in Wingdale. Best brisket you can get, you know, anywhere within an hour hour and a half driver there for sure. I mean you'd have to go into New York City to get brisket that's as good. And some of you are like, well, brisket of New York City, isn't that good? Folks? Folks?

Folks's New York. The food is amazing, all right, if you can, you can hate New York as much as you want. And I know him a little a little touchy about New York right now because I miss it. You can hate New York as much as you want. The food is amazing. And you say, whoa we no, no, no, no, we have that kind of food too, and it's amazing. I'm not saying it's as good as your Texas where

your Carolina barbecue. I'm just saying it's very good. Um. And the only thing I well, no, I'm not gonna get a whole food discussion, and I'm supposed to be gett into a roll call. Uh, Josh, rites, stop referring to the Trump dossier is as opposition research that implies they conducted research and implies there is some truth to it unverified or demonstrably false. Verbiage is not oppo research.

It is propaganda. Josh, I kind of know what you're going for with this, but I would just say that, um, you know, I would say that it is oppo research even if we don't like it and it's all false, because APPA research is often all false, So you gotta keep that in mind. Uh, Monica, Hey, Monica, hey buck. I used to work in a skiff. Leaving work, I picked up my phone, put in my pocket, turned to security guy and said, I left my keys on my desk. He said, just go, I'm not going to search you.

Upon getting back from my desk, I realized I have my phone in my pocket inside the skiff for thirty seconds on camera, the whole time I told security. We both self reported security and got yelled at for ten minutes and it went into my file. I guess times have changed. Yeah, Monica, Uh, that's what happened. That was what would have happened to me too. I saw that

happen to colleagues. You ever walked into a skiff with a phone, you had to self reported security and they came after you and you know dropped a hammer on you and the whole thing, and clearly not the case for Hillary Clinton, clearly not the case for some other folks. Um, I don't know what you're not the case for Roma Rossa. She'll never work in government again. I think unless you know, I don't know who knows. I shouldn't say that because

you don't know. Brian, great shows always, Buck, how long do you think John Brennan goes before he opens a go fund Me page? Brian, because he's not in legal jeopardy right now, probably won't have a go fund Me, but I promise you if they do bring charges against him, he'll expect the hashtag resistance to fund his defense. Devon writes, Hey, Buck, do you think you can do a deep dive on when the d n C changed from being known as the Party of Slavery the KKK anti suffrage Jim Crow

Laws to today? Because I always hear about how they're was a switch when suddenly all the worst kinds of people decided to jump to the Republican Party and almost like magic, the worst stuff in U s history is placed on our doorstep like they had nothing to do with it. Um, you know that's a very interesting question, Devin. I mean a deep dive on that really, that really requires a think a book more than a deep dive

radio segment. Uh. And it is something that Denish to Susa tackles quite a bit in his his new movie and you know Death of a Nation and his writings in general. So you might want to start with the nish, but I will think about it for a deep dive to be sure that's gonna be it for me for today in the hut. The Godfather Michael Pelka is in tomorrow. I'll be back with you all from the swamp on Monday. Shields High
