Guest Host: Mike Opelka

to me. I appreciate my old Blaze colleague giving me a chance to spend some yarns tonight on the Buck Sexton Program, and I hope you will join in the conversation. This is a conversation. I know I have a lot to say, but I want to hear from you as well. So write down the number if you're new, if you just chimed in, because I put it on the Twitter

and we'll have some Twitter action tonight as well. But you can join the conversation at eight four four nine hundred Buck eight four four nine hundred b U c K, or send me a message on Twitter at stunt Brain at stunt Brain A S t U N T b R A I N. It's a red Shirt Friday and I'm going to start out the program tonight by asking all of you to write this down. Make sure when you can, you wear a red shirt to work or

to play somewhere on Friday's going forward. And it has nothing to do with unions, It has nothing to do with any other movement aside from respect. Red shirt Friday's are all about remembering the men and women who are not just in the military, but deployed. I have a friend who started wearing red shirts on Fridays, and he said to do We're doing this red shirt Friday's, Red Shirt Friday's r e D remember everyone deployed. So do me a favor. Get a red shirt out, a T shirt.

I don't care if it's a golf shirt, a button down shirt, a pajama top. Wear a red shirt on a Friday. And if you can't do it now for the evening, promise me you will do it in the future. Promise me you will make the effort to remember everyone deployed, because there are so many of them out there, and so many of them feel forgotten. And if if somebody asks you, hey, what's with the red shirt every Friday? Tell them it really is vital. It's well, it's important

to me, so make me happy. All right, what's on the agenda tonight? I want to talk about the president and his ability to really light up a crowd. We will get into that. There is more news on the Inspector General's report into the And I'm going to use the word collusion here, the collusion among FBI agents to try and meddle in our election. Yes, my language has chosen intentionally. I'm talking about page and struck as a new batch of memos came out, and we'll talk about

that with a lawyer and author, Dr Wendy Patrick. You've seen her on Fox. She's terrific. And we'll talk with Wendy about that just around the corner. And I want to talk about some fun stuff today too. Yeah, it's a Friday, so we should have a little bit of fun. And uh, last night triggered my Friday frivolous question. And uh, I was gonna call it a frivolous Friday question, but the whole night is not going to be frivolous, So

it's a Friday frivolous question. I was watching Jeopardy, as is my wicked custom, and I could not believe that the three geniuses who made it through the Jeopardy selection process, and it is an arduous process to get to be a contestant on a show as Smartest Jeopardy. The three individuals totally blanked on this this topic. It was in the category of recent stuff. Check it out Recent Stuff a thousand. In two thousand seventeen, this x national security

advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. Okay, before I play the answers. This ex National security advisor pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. You guys know you formulate your your answers in the form of a question. You know the answer, right, We all know. I'm screaming at the TV because in our house, Jeopardy is a blood sport every night and has been for the past twenty six and a half years. And I'm screaming. My wife's going it's unfair because that's like a government question,

but she destroys me on literature. So anyway, that that's the answer. Now, let's give it to you again. So I'll give you another second to formulate your answer in the form of a question. This ex National security advisor pleaded guilty to lyne to the FBI so that it was Kelly, Oh, she was Corka. No, it was Michael Flynn. They didn't know Michael Flynn. And I thought, my god,

are these people sleeping in the library. Were they spending the last year studying for their Jeopardy test where they memorizing world capitals or longest rivers or the other piffle that you have to memorize to get to be a Jeopardy contestant. At that level, I was stunned. But it brought to light a question for me, the frivolous Friday Friday, frivolous question, whatever you want to call it. What is the greatest game show ever? What's the greatest game show?

And there are many game shows that have appeared on television, many in my long lifetime, and I know I spent I am so old. I watched Jeopardy before Alex Trebek was the host. I watched Jeopardy and actually almost cost myself a great point in my college career because I watched it every day in the dorms. And Art Fleming, the late Art Fleming, was the host, and the the announcer was none other than the guy who gave us the snl intro forever and ever and ever, so I

watched Jeopardy forever. But I want to know from you the audience, the buck Sexton audience, and this is one of the smartest audiences on radio, as you've proven over and over again, and also the was clever. What's the greatest game show? And did you ever audition for a game show? I did years ago. I did an undercover audition to try and get on Wheel of Fortune. I was never a Wheel of Fortune guy, and rain Man

killed it for me. I never wanted to be associated with Will of Fortune, but I went through the complete process to become a contestant on Wheel of Fortune without telling them. I was doing it for a radio station, and I made it all the way through because they were trying to get younger people. Apparently their demo was somewhere in the low to mid sixty year olds, and they were trying to freshen up the show and get more young contestants. And they were like, you're just what

we're looking for. You play the game well, and you're youthful and you're exuberant. And then I told him what I did for a living, and I had to tell him who my wife was, and I was declined the opportunity to be on Wheel of Fortune because of my wife. My wife was a soap opera writer. She worked for Procter and Gamble and as such, PNG would exclude me from being on Wheel of Fortune because Wheel at that time was getting about three million dollars a year in

contestant prizes from Procter and Gamble. So UH didn't make it through the Jeopardy trials. I'm not trying to be better and I got scotched from the from the Wheel of Fortune trial, so I never got to meet Patt and Vannah. But I want to know from you, is there is there a game show that you think is the greatest game show in the world ever in the history of the world. Eight four four nine b u c k eight four four buck. One of my crazy dreams is for us to actually skip some of the

presidential debates. I know we have a lot of president ential debates, and I believe once the parties choose their candidates, once we know who the Democrats and the Republicans and the Green Party and the Libertarian Party, once they pick their candidates, I think the three biggest teams should face

off in presidential Jeopardy you know. The categories would be like domestic issues, economy, world leaders, all that stuff, and round one would be the vice president's Round two Double Jeopardy would be the presidential candidates, and the final Jeopardy competition would be both guys working together or men and women.

So it's it's kind of a bizarre dream, I know, but at the at the place we are today, with the kind of attitude and approach that politicians are taking to elections today, I think turning the at least one of the debate nights into a game show face off. We get to see how smart these guys are men and women. We'd get to see how well they work together. We get to see them in competitive situations, which we don't get to see now, we really don't. The debates

are very civil. So I would be all for Jeopardy. And once again, my vote for the greatest game show ever in the history of the world goes to the people who are fans of Jeopardy, and I'm sure I'm sure most of you smart people agree with me. Right. Also, coming up today the next block, we're going to get into the latest on the texts between Struck and Page and some of the other texts across the FBI platform. We're gonna talk a little bit about Monday nights pending

Supreme Court justice announcement. I kind of thought the President was going to leak it last night when he was in Montana. We'll talk about the trade war, and I'm using air quotes there. I don't know if you're using the same thing, but we will talk about the trade war, which allegedly began tonight or last night at midnight. Uh. We've seen a little bit of wobble from some of our European friends, specifically Germany, so we'll try talk about trade tensions. Is there a trade war? The economy had

a good day today. We'll talk about that jobs report as well. It's a very good sign and the market was up over a hundred thirty points today in the face of the trade war. Air quotes right there. So there's a lot of my plate today as well as my curious fascination with game shows. And I'd like to know what yours are. You can do it online on Twitter to me, or you can do it on the phone. Eight four four d b U c K eight four four hundred buck Mike Opelka in for my Buddy Bucks

at Exton on the Buck Sexton Show. Hello America, Michael Pelca is my name? Sitting in from my friend Buck Sexton. I hope he's having a great Independence Day extended weekend. Anyone else feel like we got short changed and this week, you know, we get spoiled with the three day weekend thing. But if you have a job that requires you to show up to work most days and this midweek Independence Day thing hits and you don't really get that extended break, I kind of feel like many of us who work

really long days got got ripped off. We got short changed. Enough about Mike Fetching though, we'll we'll get to that later. I'm I'm reading today on the Hill a story that John Solomon post it that was just just unbelievable. They are more texts from the Struck page love texts across the FBI platform. More texts were released from congressional investigators, and uh, some of these are leaked actually not completely

released yet. But I want to get into this because I get I get really twisted about this, and I wonder when are we going to get complete honesty and openness. So joining me to discuss is my friend attorney and author Dr Wendy Patrick. Wendy can be found at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com, but she also can be found on television all the time, and right now in the Buck Sexton Show. Hello my friend, how are you good?

Always a pleasure, Mike. Now, Wendy, I want to get into the struck page email thing, but you have to answer Tonight's Friday frivolous question greatest game show ever is? Well, I'm gonna have to say the prices right, because that's what I grew up with them dating myself. I hate to say, Mike, but I'm willing to bet you remember that show too. Well, it's still on. They got Drew Carey there now. Oh you're kidding me. God, you know what we knew what all the grocery items cost when

we were way too young to ever go shopping. Isn't that something? Yeah? It is? And I love me the prices right. And I've wandered around the CBS studios in Television City when they weren't shooting it and uh, nobody was around, so we spun the wheel, you know that showcase showdown wheel of course, of course, like a bunch of idiots and then I think security heard it and came over and go, hey, what are you kids doing?

Get out of here? All right, let's talk like what I remember about that show is I have never seen people more excited when their names were called when they go Remember when they would pay in the audience and somebody's name would call, you would think they won the lottery just to have an opportunity to come down and guess the value with grocery items. Incredible show it was, and the simplest shows are the best. I vote for Jeopardy because I'm in a Jeopardy death battle every single day,

and that's it's just my guilty pleasure on television. But we'll we'll save this argument for another day. I want to talk about this. Hurry the f up. The new emails and texts from Struck to Page and vice versa. Are these going to have any effect on any of the investigations currently going on, any of the Mueller stuff, any of the House investigation, the congressional hearings on this.

You know, it's a different topic, it's a different issue, but it's hard to believe somebody won't find some argument that there is some relevance and the reason is you know, we've been having a drip of emails coming out. This is just the latest batch. The obvious question is why

didn't these come out earlier? But I gotta tell you they're actually could be valid reasons that whoever was seeking the emails didn't find these, or somebody didn't disclose them, or it just takes a long time sometimes to do this type of forensics. But is it relevant to what

Mueller is focused on? Remember, it's hard. We've gotten so far off track, arguably from the original mandate to investigate whether there was any collusion, coordination, whatever you want to call it, between the Chump campaign and the Russians, that almost everything has purported relevance because the investigation seems to have broadened, And that's one of the reasons that many Americans are saying, hey, let's wrap this up. It's gotten

way too broad. But it's also gotten broad enough to make an email exchange like this arguably relevant and what Wendy Patrick is talking about. In this email exchange, there are calls from from Struck to his then lover, reported lover, and to other agents to hurry the f up with their investigation, and one of the quotes in according to

this story on the Hill from September, shortly before the election. Quote, at a minimum, this letter, the letter provides us a pretext to interview, and that pretexts a nice excuse, I guess to push the fighter warrant a little bit harder. This is this It feels like manipulation. Well that's that's exactly what the story is about. And it's also showing you know, that gave the ability, arguably gave the FBI the ability to use some of its power to monitor

Carter Page. So now that's being tied to the Fighter want and many people that do understand that a lot came from that warrant in the subsequent surveillance that is highly questionable, and that's part of the reason the FBI has really been under fire for this. So yeah, a story like this just provides even more disturbing details that people are looking at in retrospect thinking does this have more relevance than people should be giving it to the

underlying Muller probe. It's a different issue, but you know, it is inflammatory, and I think that's why this story is getting the attention that it is today, regardless of whether we're actually able to tie it into the investigation. Wendy, I know if there's a whole lot more to watch. We're up against the hard break and you've got a Friday coming up, so I can't hold you any longer. I appreciate you weighing in on this, Wendy Patrick. She's a Price is Right lover and a really smart attorney

and author. Thank you, my friend Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton. What's your favorite game show? What's the greatest game show of all time? He's holding the line for America, Buck sex in his back. Well, Buck will be back on Monday. Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton. Buck and I go way back to the early early early early days of the Blaze, and we were cohorts, partners in crime, if you will, worked both on the editorial side and on the radio side, and Buck a

little bit on the TV side. I was not telegenic. Apparently they kept me off in the no Pictures section. But I spent six and a half years of my life at the Blaze, wrote more than three thousand pieces and hundreds of hours of radio and it was one of the greatest times in my life. And I wish the Blaze were as it was in T and thirteen. That's just a little bit of reminiscent on this Friday after Independence Day, The Friday frivolous question of the day

is one that has driven buy me. I'm curious about your favorite game show. And that's why we're gonna talk about the news. We're gonna talk about what's going on in the world. But I have to know this audience, this audience which Buck reveres, I revere and appreciate you all. What is your favorite game show? So call in eight four four nine b U c K eight four four D Buck Jody in Salt Lake Cities, checking in one of my favorite cities in the whole wide world. Hello, Jody,

Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Like a French shoe. Oh God, bless you for remembering that phrase. One of the dumb things we used to say on the radio when I did a Blaze radio show, but I still repeat it to others. So yeah, I miss you like a front tooth as well. Do you have a favorite game show, Jody, Yes, let's make a deal. I always thought that was so much fun, the original or do you like the new one with is it Wayne Brady.

Okay show confession time. I have not had a TV for almost seven years, so I haven't seen the Wayne Brady. I'm talking to old school. We're talking Monty Hall and Jay bringing the tray down the aisle. Yes, and the

goat behind door number three. Oh yeah, Well, the Zonke Prize would move around and for those who are not aware of what Jody's talking about, the original Let's Make a Deal had people dressing like absolute idiots and crazy costumes with pun themed outfits, and they would get selected by the show's producers to sit in the contestants section down in the very front of the studio. And then Monty Hall, one of the great game show hosts of all time, would wander through the audience and if someone

caught his eye, he would say, you stand up. If you have a hard boiled egg in your back, I'll give you a hundred dollars for it. Just ridiculous stuff, but they would they would make deals for what's in the box, what's behind the curtain? And then door number one, two, and three pointed to by Carol Merrill. She was the van of White of the sixties and seventies. Yeah, I watched a lot of TV. It was a great show

because you never knew what was going to happen. And in believe one of those doors had a donkey behind it. And I'm a little younger than you, Mike, not tons and tons, but a little younger than you. And I don't know why as a kid, having the door reveal a donkey, it just made me giggle. Tell I almost wet my camps. Well you we always we always at home, my brothers and I and sisters. Brothers and sisters and I would watch Let's Make a Deal, and we would root for the person to get too greedy and get

a ridiculous zonk price. They were called zonc probably is and uh, you just hope because it's the chadenfreude in all of us, that ability to take pleasure in the displeasure or problems of other people. The Germans gave us that word schadenfreude. But yeah, we used to watch that endlessly, and especially the last two minutes as the credits were rolling, because Monty had pockets full of cash and he would

wander the audience. Now I'm gonna you do you Your TV has been gone for seven years, Jody, you've been television free for seven years? Was was um the Deal or No Deal show on during your before your TV absence? Yes? It was okay and you remember it? Oh yeah? Uh? The the host what's his name from Think? Yes, it was Howie Mandel was convinced to do that show by

the guy who came up with the concept. The guy talked to him over a sandwich at a Los Angeles Delhi and he brought out a briefcase and explained it and how he was in from day one and how he just three weeks ago has been on the interview circuit telling the story that he's thinking about bringing it back, and um, well you're gonna have to get a TV then, yeah, okay, I'll think about that really really hard. Now. The beauty of Deal or No Deal it took no skill, It

took zero intelligence. It was just random. But do you know which of all those women who had the little luggage up there? Do you know which famous person who also appeared as an actress on one of Stupor Gere's favorite TV shows? Do you know which famous person also appeared as one of the luggage ladies on Deal or

No Deal? No? I don't. Meghan Marko really. Yeah, she in in the early days of her TV career, how he was telling this story, Like I said, just he's out on the uh out on the interview trail right now, pitching what he's planning on doing. And I was totally stunned. And I'm not a guy who likes the royal family. I think it's a gigantic joke and I think it's a waste of time, etcetera, etcetera. But Meghan Markel the princess. Now I guess she's a princess or a duchess or

something or whatever the heck she is. Yeah, well, absolutely, we fought that war. We made that decision two d forty two years ago. No thank you. But I I just not just in in seventeen three, but again in eighteen Well I early remember that time. I'm old, you know, and then my memory goes fuzzy after a couple of those centuries, but I do. I just thought it was fascinating that Megan Markle has been in the public eye

for so long and holding up. Could you think we could even do that show in this era because those those ladies, the luggage ladies, were very scantily clad, and in this me too, movement era, would you be allowed to do that? Now? You know what I think would be interesting is to have them come out in full Victorian regalia with their little luggage. It's too hot. It's too hot, and it's also not hot, and I'm always going to be a guy. So, Jody, I'm sorry, but

I enjoyed. I enjoyed enjoying the luggage, lady. So I'm I'm gonna vote no on your I'm opposed to that. I'm just thinking, because everyone so over sensitive or do that? Okay, I'm going to protect everyone's sensibilities. We're going to address the girl from chin to toe and down to the rist, and you should be happy. Yeah, why not burkas. All we're gonna do is see their their eyes, and then we wouldn't be able to give away anything of any

kind of clues, nobody, language, etcetera. Why not Burker's for the Miss America contest to while we're at it, let's just put burkers on everybody. Ah, the madness is everywhere. This has drifted off course, Jody, but I thank you for voting. Your your vote is good. I like others to vote as well. I'm getting some text votes from people who are saying the Gong Show. Uh, the Gong Show was kind of like a talent show. It wasn't so much a game show. And Chuck Barriss was kind

of having fun with the rest of us there. So if you want to weigh in on this topic, we'll we'll discuss. So what's the frivolous Friday answer to what's the greatest game show question? You can dial in? Eight four Buck eight four four nine, b U c K and Uh. Jody brought up a real interesting point. And we're talking about the the women on game shows and the me too movement. And last night the President said something in his Montana address when he was at the rally.

President Trump was talking about Elizabeth Warren and her ridiculous self, and uh, he called out Senator Warren and also kind of jumped on an idea that a candidate against Warren in Massachusetts has promoted Dr Shiva. I think his last name is pronounced ay Darla. He is an Indian man and he says I'm the real Indian, not the fake Indian.

He's running against war and he has four patents. He's the inventor of email, and he has offered her somewhere between one and ten million dollars to take the spit tests that would show us whether or not she's actually a Native American. And uh, Mike, I think you guys have the clip there at the studio. Can you play the Donald Trump moment talking about Elizabeth Warren polka hotes. They always want me to apologize for saying it, and I hereby, Oh, no, I want to apologize. I'll use

tonight polka hots. I apologize to you, I apologize to you, I apologize to the to the fake polka hot This I want about. I'm gonna get one of those little kids. And in the middle of the debate when she proclaims that she's of Indian heritage because her mother said she has high cheek votes. That's her only evidence that her

they're set yet high cheek books. We will take that little kit and say, but we have to do it gently because when the me too generations left to be very gentle, and we will say, I will give you a million dollars for your favorite charity paid for by Trump if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian, you know. And the crowd reacted very well

to that. But the part of that moment that has been seized upon by the left leaning media is the President gently mocking and I use that term intentionally, gently

mocking the me Too movement. CNN one so far as to have four women on a panel today discussing just how sexist and offensive this was, and I just, in the words of the millennials, I lost my ability to even I just said, come on, guys, you'll say nothing about Elizabeth Warren uh culturally appropriating Native Americans and you never call her out, and you're mad about Trump making a little joke. I know there's some people are gonna take exception to that. We can have a conversation on

that too. Michael Pelka in for my friend Buck Sexton tonight. I hope you'll hang out for the entire night. Join me eight four four b U c K eight four eight four or four nine hundred. Buck got ahead of myself. We'll be right back. This is a very special occasion. The Godfather himself has been kind enough to grace us with his presence. For Godfather is it's his down house, he lives there. He steep twenty feet away. Thank you,

thank you so much, thank you. It's good to be back among the the Freedom Hut fans, but Sexton fans, Micho Pelca is my name, sitting in from my friend Buck Sexton on this Friday night. We have a frivolous Friday question for you. What's the greatest game show? And uh I want to talk more about that, me to comment from the president and on the statue of liberty invasion. But first I have to tell you about the Global

Yeah, we're gonna talk about the president and what he said, and we're gonna talk about what the President said in Montana last night and how the left has lost its mind. But some of you are checking in on the question. George and Panama City, welcome to the program. Hey, how you doing? You tell me I'm having fun, but you know I tend to go off the rails every now and then. Well it's

the Friday. You're allowed to you brother, thank you, thank you. Game show preference for you, George. Uh, you know I gotta go with the all time faved Jeopardy. I agree with you there, but one I thought was of notable mention The Joker's Wild, And I mean not the remake with Snoop Dogg, although that's not bad. I like the original with Mr Barry. I like it too, And you know, it's just fun to yell Joker, Joker, Joker. It's a triple good times, good times. Well, thank you George for

Wayne and Jeopardy getting a lot of big points. Let's wander over to Wheeling, West Virginia. Is it, Dana? Donna helped me out, Donna, It's like sauna, you know, like if you're going to get all like nice and warm. Yes, I like it. I like on a Friday. I like where you're going, Donna. My parents made it up. So anyway, it's so obviously I'm older than dirt, but I remember password? Do you remember? You know you're too young? The password is password is like the beginning of what became twenty

dollar pyramid kind of thing. Yeah, somebody supersized password and made the pyramid out of it. Yeah, that's the idea. They did supersize it because in the day, I mean, he didn't win all that much. But the important thing is Alan Ludden was post l U D E N and he had never been married. And Betty White was one you know, like you see on twenty dollar Pyramid, you know one of the stars has given clues for password. Yeah, sure,

I remember it. They fell in love, they got married, they were married for like, I think thirty five years, and then he passed away and she's never remarried and now she's like ninety four. That's one of the greatest Hollywood love stories. And you're absolutely right, Mife. My late mother used to point to password now Luddon. She said, you know who he's married to. He's married to that Betty White and they met on the show. And I'm like, yes,

that's how it happened. That's absolutely how that Originally. Alan Luddon originally started in Miami, Florida, at a local Team V station before he got on to the Password in Nationalness, Donna, I'm up against the sorrows wall, so I gotta say thank you for that wonderful story, and let's keep it going. In the second hour The Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka in for Buck. Come on back. Buck Sexton Mission, Decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no

mistake American, You're a great American Again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. No, it is Michael Pelka in for the guy who gets all the phraise and credit in that intro. Buck is my friend. Buck is a former colleague from my days at the Blaze dot Com and the Blaze Radio, and he's We've remain friends. We were kindred spirits in the early days of Buck's radio career and I looked up to him. He always thanks me for the help I gave him, but I have to tell you it really was more the other way around

for me. So I'm really happy to be here with this audience, an audience I consider to be really some of the smartest people that I encounter. And I do a lot of radio all over the country, and many of you follow me, so I'm very appreciative of that. Let's have some fun tonight. Let's have a conversation tonight.

Let's talk about serious stuff and silly stuff. Eight four or four Buck is the phone number if you want to weigh in eight four four d b U c K. Last night, the President mocked Elizabeth Warren, challenging her to take a DNA test, and he mentioned the the Me Too movement, and immediately immediately the offender nista us reached for their big lighters and their hairspray and lit their hair on fire and began running around the room screaming at the top of their lungs. How dare he trivialized

this movement? Well, I think we've seen a lot of people trivialize the Me too movement. The Me Too movement has valid roots. The Me Too movement has really important things to say. The Me Too movement has taken down some pretty bad folks. Harvey Weinstein looks like he's going to spend possibly the rest of his life in prison

for all of the horrible stuff he did. And so there have been successes from the Me Too movement, but there are also abuses of it, like we have with any movement that just has I go back to the days that Buck and I spent in Occupy Wall Street, the days the time we spent among that group of offending eastas that group of lost souls in Zukkati Park, who had no idea what the heck they were doing, absolutely none, and that movement died because there was no center,

There was no real concrete purpose, and the Me Too movement has a lot of squishy edges. I think they could boil it down and really achieve some some good things. But the President Pope fund at the me too movement last night, and now women who Democratic women, liberal women who already have a problem because he denied them their pants suit party after November that they're using every opportunity

to express their offend anista anger. And I keep repeating offend anista because it's a word in the Urban Dictionary that this show host created, so if you want to look it up, you can see it. Offend Anista's that's what I call him. Anyone who wakes up every single morning looking for something to just get angry by out and many times it's just not that serious. But in the case of the Me Too movement, there are legitimate me two gripes. And you're gonna hear this now all

weekend long. You're gonna hear people saying, my god, I can't believe he mocked the Me Too movement. No, he was really mocking Elizabeth Warren and the lie that the Left has allowed her to get away with forever and ever and ever. It really was about that. So you can try and tear it down, but you're not going to be able to diminish the reality. Elizabeth Warren lied, and she used the cultural appropriation of a Native American person in order to benefit, in order to make herself

look better and to make her career better. Don't get me started on pow wow chow. Just craziness. So tone it down against the Trumpster on this one now. I will tell you that was a really odd moment last night in Montana, and I have to share this with you. There are times and I voted for Donald Trump. I'm raising my hand right now and saying, yes, I voted for Donald Trump. Was he my first choice? No, I was a Ted Cruse guy. I am a Rand Paul guy.

I liked the Constitution. I like strict adherence to the Constitution. I also like a lot of the libertarianism. I'm a big fan of less government equals more freedom, and I love me some freedom. But I voted for Donald Trump proudly, openly because I knew the Supreme Court would be a thing I knew based on what was going to happen, that God forbid Hillary Clinton gets in the Supreme Court.

Her first pick would have been much farther left of Merrick Garland, the guy that Obama nominated, and Mitch McConnell managed to use a procedural block to keep the guy off the court. So I voted for Trump. But when he says stuff that I disagree with, I have to point it out. I have to. And last night, in the middle of this Montana event, the President was feeling kind of lucy goosie. The night before he had watched the fireworks on the White House lawn for the second year.

And you've got to be thinking, this is my life. I'm Donald Trump, I'm the President of the United States. I'm moving and grooving. We got the economy on fire. We'll get to the jobs numbers a little bit later. And he was just kind of having fun, and then he started into one of the weirdest things and setting out life's gotta be kicking itself because they missed an opportunity. I know, they get the summer off. Lauren Michaels and his buddies are all out in the Hamptons with their

feet up on the deck looking at the ocean. But they missed an opportunity by taking these long summers off, especially when Donald Trump is doing as many rallies as he can't just listen to this little rant about the audience size. I have broken more Elton John records. He seems to have a lot of records, and we beat and I, by the way, I don't have a musical instrument. I don't have a guitar or organ the organ. Elton has an organ and lots of other people helping. No,

we've broken a lot of records. We've broken virtually every record because you know, look, I only need this space. They need much more room for basketball, for hockey, for all the sports. They need a lot of room. We don't need it. We have people in that space. So we break all these records. But really we do it without like the musical instruments. This is the only musical the mouth and hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right, The brain more important in the mouth is the brain.

The brain is much more important. I agree. The brain is much more important and as entertaining as that is. Boy, that would have been absent lutely red meat for Alec Baldwin, wouldn't it. They could have had a blast with that. But that was the President last night, the odd rant about Elton John And you know what, they're gonna replay that clip about the organ and then they're gonna get the brain in there and you're gonna see a hand joke. It's all gonna be there. So just a little moment

from last night. The President also brought up the topic we covered in the first hour about Peter Struck, the FBI agent, And this was before we got the news from that Hill report today about the additional emails and texts. How about that FBI agents? How about that guy? Do you think he likes me? Do you think he liked me? Think there was just a little bias there, a little bit? Oh didn't we catch them in the act. It's a rigged deal, folks, It's a rig deal. I used to

say it. It's a rigged d l Yes, it is a disgrace. And I wish somebody would publish all of the texts together in a timeline so we could read it as it happened. I think that would be a fascinating book and that's got to be public domain, doesn't it, Because those are government papers. Maybe we'll see that. They would have to remove all the redactions though, to make

it an interesting story. And uh. The President also talked about how much we love ice and referenced the event on the fourth of July at the Statue of Liberty. You saw that clown yesterday on the Statue of Liberty. You see the guys that went up there. I wouldn't have done it. I would have said, let's get some nuts, said let's wait till she comes, just get some nuts.

I agree. I agree. My wife and I were watching that woman stand up and try and avoid the police, the emergency services units from the NYPD get up there and try and get her off the pedestal, and I said, you know, why don't they just leave her up there? She got herself up there, let herself get herself down. Just put some of those inflatable bags down there. No, they had to go up and get her. And the about four hours into it, she finally allowed them to bring her down. And I said to my wife, look,

they're they're bringing her down. She's finally given up. And and she brilliantly surmised the reason, the probable reason. She said, the woman had to pee. She'd been up there three and a half four hours, and as someone who's driven across the nation with my wife, I realized she was a spot on. But the President continued giving props to the people who got her down. You see those guys, the bravery of doing that. What a group, Yeah, what

a group. They've put their lives at risk for this jack wagon whose name I will not give the press. She was up there protesting, and her protests. There's a free speech zone on Liberty Island. She had every opportunity to stand in the free speech zone and go after whatever policy she wanted to go after, and her group did so, but she decided to make it a bigger deal, and then Liberty Island was evacuated. Three thousand people lost

the opportunity to climb the Statue of Liberty. If you've ever done it, it's one of the most American things you can ever do. It takes weeks and months to get a reservation to get into that that statue, to go through the security that's tougher than most airport security, and then you have to climb all the way up

to the Crown. It is amazing. But this one woman took it upon herself to deny all the people who probably planned months ahead made their trips to New York to be in the Statue of Liberty on Independence Day, but no, this selfish jack Wagon had to block their experience. Don't get me started. And now I'm betting we're gonna have new security procedures because you're allowed to take the ferry boat out to Liberty Island and to Ellis Island,

which they're very close without going through security. You want to bet the Homeland Security is going to add a new, a new funnel of security that we all have to go through when we want to go out to Ellis Island or to Liberty Island. Thank you very much, jack Wagon. I gotta take a break, and you know that before I go away, I want you to write down the phone number eight four buck eight four four d buck. Let's talk about the Statue of Liberty. Let's talk about

free speech. So let's talk about the greatest game show ever. But right now, let's talk about the Nine Line Apparel Company.

The President announces his Supreme Court nomineque. Got it down to three candidates from what we're told, and uh, I'm hoping he picks the lady from Chicago, the justice from Chicago. We'll get into that in a little bit. I've got a couple of other issues we

need to get to. Tonight. We're talking news, and we're getting serious on news, but we're also having fun. It's a Friday, so let's have a little frivolity. Those of you who follow me on Twitter at stunt Brain. At stunt Brain know that I like to ask what I call vital questions, and I am including air quotes when I say vital questions, and in the vital Question Frivolous Friday department, today, I'm asking simply, what's the greatest game

show ever? I believe it's Jeopardy. I'm a fan of many different game shows, and uh, I kind of feel like many on the left are looking at Donald Trump and thinking the Supreme Court has become a game show for him. He's already made appointment television for Monday night at nine o'clock. I just say, the president knows how to own the news cycle, and he's doing a great job on it. The next ten days of the news cycle belonged to Donald J. Trump. We'll get into that.

I'll break that down for you in just a few minutes, but I gotta check in with Pat from Ithaca, New York. Pat, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. How are you. I'm well, Mr and bantor well, thank you, Thank you. Pat. Is for those of you who don't know, there is a new country on the planet. It is four square miles of dirt on the Danube River that sits between Serbia and Croatia. It is known as the Free Republic of

libor Land. I call it Liberland, the Free Republic of Liberland, and it was dedicated about three years ago by my buddy, the president of the country. Wheat yet lichka and uh. My interest in this country because it's based on Thomas Jefferson's principles, Jeffersonian principles. My interest in the country is very deep, and as such, I've been a supporter of libor Land, and I have been given a diplomatic status.

I'm a cultural Ambassador to the Free Republic of liber Land and am also a dual citizenship, which I have to ask Buck because I think that disqualifies me for service in our intelligence community. I need to ask Buck the next time I see him. Somebody told me that. But Pat, you're a game show fan, well used to be. I'm kind of like a previous color except we have not had TV and much much longer than seven years. But I have a little bit of a fun story about criticism the Game show. But it was a fun

show about candid camera. Um My, I haven't I have Allen Funt signature in my mother's autograph book because um Alan Funts, I believe went to Cornell here in Ithaca and he rented a room from my grandmother on Cornell Street, and my mom had this our graph book and I have her our graph book with Allen Funt's signature in it when he was at Cornell. So I just thought you'd love that little piece of trivia. I do love that little piece of trivia. But let's talk about Ithaca

and Cornell and is it Ithaca College up there as well. Yes, is that bridge my dad took us to Upstate New York when we were kids. He called it the Kissing Bridge, And I wonder if they're still allowed to cross that bridge. Uh, if a woman was caught crossing this bridge, according to my dad, who was the most honorable guy I know, if a woman was caught alone on the Kissing Bridge, she had to pay a toll of a kiss before she could get across. That's got to have gone the

way of the buffalo, right, you know. I don't know if it's still current. But when my than and I were dating with at that point, that was in the mid eighties, um he um, the custom there was that you had to kiss your girlfriend in the middle of the bridge, and all right, I guess the custom changes over the years. And now they have to put these nets under all the prisudents because people jump, So who knows, I mean, mayn't even let people cross anymore. That's a

good point. It's a beautiful part of the world, one of my favorite parts of Upstate New York. I visited there more than once. We drove back through there just a couple of years ago. I've got about thirty seconds left. Pet did you want to name a game show that you if you had a TV you would watch? Oh? Currently, probably not. Actually I don't know, but you know, I

used to think Hollywood Squares was fun. It was fun, and as I may have mentioned earlier, my heart was broken when I learned that they were given all those funny answers there were writers, so Paul Lynn wasn't quite that funny. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton, We've got more to do and you need to stick around. We'll

be right back. The Threat is a new hit podcast from Azzi Media that explores history surprising connections in order to discover how one thing leads to another, like how John Lennon's murder connects all the way back to communist leader Vladimir Lenin. Get it on iHeart Radio or wherever you listen. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops.

Michael Pelka and for my friend Buck Sexton, Tonight Buckleby back on Monday, taking a little bit of an extended Independence Day holiday, and uh, I've got things to talk about. We talked earlier about the President and his me to comment last night that the left has lost its mind over I contend Donald Trump knows everything he's doing. He knows when he's going to be able to troll the left,

and he he knows how to get it done. And so that little five seconds of a me too mention might have been ten seconds, has taken CNN off its game, has taken MSNBC out of it's it's a tax zone on other things. And combine that with the economic news of the day today, with the numbers that came out

we were expecting this morning. I got up early, and I'm watching the markets and I'm reading the reports, and we were expecting about a hundred and eighty nine to a hundred and ninety two thousand jobs, and that number was beaten by about ten percent? Was it two hundred thousand jobs? And we'll dive into that because that that's an important story. But I have a little bit of

breaking news. If you followed me and listen to my radio show over the last few years, you know my connection to our veterans, and you know my real connection to the problem we have losing veterans. Two veterans each

day take their own lives. It's one of the greatest shames of this country that we aren't able to wrap our arms around our vets and take care of them with the medical care, the psychiatric care, whatever, and that somebody would be so desperate that they would have to take their own life after brave, bravely serving this country. It breaks my heart and that's why I also encourage you on Friday's Friday's wear a red shirt to remember everyone deployed. That's what that red shirt Friday stands for.

Going forward, write it down, send yourself a note, remember everyone employed. I have a buddy who I followed for just about a year as he after he returned from service to this country, spent over a decade in the military and was also taken aback by the surprising number of suicides among our veterans. He decided to make a statement, and so, in response to the twenty two per day who were taking their own lives, he walked miles from his home in Tennessee all the way to the Pacific Ocean,

and he did most of it by himself. It was a lonely journey at times. It was a difficult journey as he went through parts of Dallas during the winter months, and it was really cold. He spent nights on the road, very few nights in in tiny hotels, cheap hotels. Sometimes people took him in, but he made it all the way to the West coast, and it wasn't about making money. It was about bringing attention to the plight of our vets. And if you don't know Ernesto Rodriguez, our friend nerd

Nesto on the Twitter. That's right, his name is nerd Neesto because he openly admits. He freely admits to being a nerd. Follow him at nerd Neesto. But Ernesto is onto a new project and I asked him could he spend a little time with us on a Friday night. How are you, my friend, doing well? You sound good. I've been following you on Twitter and you're taking on a serious topic again, but you sound really good and positive,

and I'm not gonna kid you. I know you talk about the struggles that everybody who served this country can go through at times. But I do worry about you, but I'm proud of the way you take on the troubles that so many of our veteran community are dealing with. Tell us about your latest project, yeah, of course, UM, I have to. You know, the reason I'm in such high spirits is because in an environment where I am now, you have to be high spirits or or you will

quit very quickly. UM. I've actually elected to be homeless for a year and live in an encampment in Tucson, Arizona that is run and uh overseen by homeless veterans. Um. Very similar to a military structure. Actually, uh. And I'm documenting the time here. I'm filming here, and I'm also writing um a journal as as I go through this three and sixt or five days of being a homeless veteran. So you gave away or sold all of your possessions back home and are in an encampment in Arizona. Yes,

it's in Tucson, Arizona. UM. I I gave up most of my things, not everything. A lot of this stuff is in storage. UM. But I gave up my apartment. I did not bring a car with me because I I felt if I did bring a car with me, I would be tempted to get in my car and immediately leave. UM. And I've been here for three three days and as as as this experiences, you know, very unique Uh, it's it's also very very rough, especially at

being July and Tucson. Yeah. I was just gonna say, you know, you pick really difficult weather to put yourself through, and it gets hot in Tucson, and anybody who says it's a dry heat doesn't understand just how hot it is inside the oven that is Arizona. But you, Um, last night, ERNESSA and I were trying to connect to set this up for tonight, and um, you sent me a message. And sometimes I think you don't understand how impactful your words are and how powerful the things you

were experiencing are to others. And I said, can we talk because I want to preview this, And so we didn't get a chance to talk because you said, sorry, I was in a tunnel picking up heroin needles. Um. Correct. My My first reaction is, what the hell You're in a homeless camp filled with veterans and apparently there's also a heroin problem. Yeah. I mean, so the camp that I'm in is is in a in an area where

the homeless population is large. It's not only veterans here, there's also civilians and uh, during these hot months, a lot of a lot of the law of the civilian homeless, Uh, take refuge in the tunnel. You know that the washes and the tunnels down here, and some of them have substance to these problems, and you know there is there is some addiction here. But the veterans to live in

this camp as well as volved. Here's go through the tunnels to make sure that um those needles are picked up, to make sure nobody steps on that and contracts anything, and so that they can't be reused, um to to prevent the spread of diseasier. I want everybody to just marinate in what Ernesto just said. These are homeless veterans who are part of a camp, who are living in very desperate situations, but at the core of their being,

at the core of their their's their center. These homeless fetes also continue to serve this nation by going out and cleaning up the heroin needles, cleaning up the areas where the other homeless people who may not or may or may not be veterans, but they have a substance abuse problem. And you know, if you take away those needles, we're gonna maybe stem some of the spread of disease

that goes through the ivy drug use community. And these folks who are in many ways, uh destitute in terms of comparison to the average American, they're still serving this country. They're still going out and helping keep their community safe and clean. That that one line. Sorry, I was in a tunnel picking up heroin needles just gut punched me last night. Now, you're gonna be in this community for a year or nest, So you've got three hundred and

sixty two days more to spend there. You don't have a car, you don't really have a means of support, are you. Are you part of a leadership group or you just kind of folding into the group of vets there. So they have a rank structure here. They have a commander, they have a head of security. Um, I'm embetting myself. I've also volunteered my time, so I will be providing security for the camp as well. Uh that the vets here take shifts to make sure that the camp stays

safe at night, especially because of the neighborhood that we're in. UM, I feel very safe here. I actually brought my two beautiful quarities with me. I needed in this time for the emotional support that I can't. I don't think I could do this without them. UM. But there is a rank structure. I'm really here to observe UH and to watch how how the year unfull. UM. But of course UH to be UH to tell the truth about what this camp does and how it runs, you have to

have boots on ground. You actually have to experience it in bed in it and and and live it. UM. I've seen a couple of times i've been here, I've seen a couple of reporters. They come in for a day or two and UH. And I've seen some of the articles, of the proofs of some of the articles, and it's a little um biased, just because they weren't

here for very long. UH. And I want to make sure that when I write, UM, what I'm writing, it's it's trull um and I get the full experience of the begin Is there any helping given to the veterans who are there by the v A. Is there any outreach from the local VA to bring support to these veterans or do they have to go to a clinic if they need help? Uh. There are a few veterans fear that do have the a um UH endorsement or they are actually retired veterans, so they get medical when

they need it. But UM, I mean we have amputees here, we have people in wheelchairs. UM, we have um, you know, people who are are going through substance abuse problems now and they're trying to get clean. So they stay in this camp. So they have the community behind them for the support because at the end of the day, veterans always help veterans. And uh, and the three days that I've been here, I've I've been seeing it. Every day.

I've seen able bodied veterans come out and push the disabled veterans with wheelchairs around to ensure that they can get to chow or to you know, shower or whatever they need to do. And the community actually here has rallied a lot. Um. They do have a m a good support system. When it comes to the community. People will come here with fuel to few look generators, uh to allow them to keep their food cold in the refrigerator. They soo have people come and bring ice and water,

though it's sometimes scarce. For example, right now, UH, we're very low on fuel means the generators are about to go out. UM, and there's no ice at the moment. So right now we're drinking weak warm water. We're talking with a radio friend of mine, but a guy I have boundless respect for. He served this nation bravely for more than a decade. His name is Ernesto Rodriguez. We know him on Twitter at nerd Nasto. But he's embedded

himself in a homeless veterans camp outside of Tucson, Arizona. Ernesto, what can we do? How can we help right now? I know you're going to spend a year observing and trying to bring more attention to it, But what can we do now? Did I lose you? Hello? And I was ask and just what can we do now for you guys? Yeah? So they have a page if you look up camp conklin c O N k l I N they have a page and usually they'll update on

things they need. So if they say they need ice ort fuel, Um, I've donated a few gas cards myself. That way they can take a cart over to the local gas station and up the five gallon drums of fuel so that they can keep the electricity and the camp running. Okay, just yeah, really, it's it's it's Tucson. It's blazing hot. There's no you know, there's no break

from the heat. You're an attempt, you're sweating, you're outside, you're being hit by the sun constantly, really honestly good vibes and prayers right now because it's it's it's pretty rough this summer. Well, Camp Conklin is the site you need to check out. I will tweet out a link to it, my friend, Bravo base Camp Cocklin, Camp cock Glenn is out there. Uh. It's in dire need of donations and I will hopefully get updates from you regularly throughout the year. I wish I were closer. I'd come

by myself. But maybe I can do a little something online here with a little help. And if you can help to Ernasto, God bless you, my friend. Uh, just reach out whenever you need to get the word out and we'll take care of it. Sounds good. We'll thank you. Michael Pelka stepping aside for a quick break. When we get back an update, and in the break, I'm going to tweet out a link to Camp co Conkerlin. It's hard to say, it's a clunky name. We need a

media consultant. I'm in for Box Exton tonight, come on back, Mico Pelca in for my friend Buck Sexton on this fabulous Friday Bucks taking a little extra time off. We have much to talk about. I've got a couple of other issues. I want to tell you about a state that's killing itself with taxes. We still need to talk about more of the game shows, the greatest game shows ever and you can vote for yours. Do it on Twitter or do it on the phone. You know where

to call. But I have to remind you about Simply Safe. In the Better Business Bureau heard more than five thousand complaints about alarm companies, and that puts home security in the top ten percent of the most complained about industries. Top ten percent. Think about that home security. So here's how you fix home security. Do what my friends over at Simply Safe did. Simply Safe got rid of contracts and hidden fees. They work hard to earn their customers

business instead of relying on fine print and tricks. Simply Safe as a company that treats its customers right. How rare is that today the company relies on good service and a great product to earn your business. I've known Simply Safe for years. They're good people. That's why they've got the A plus rating with a Better Business Bureau for ten years running. There are over forty thousand five star reviews about simply Safe online. Simply Save is what

home security should be. You get the best protection, period. So learn more about simply Safe today at simply safe dot com, slash buck. Simply safe dot com slash buck Protect your home and your family with an A plus home security system simply safe dot com slash Buck do it today. As I mentioned, we are keeping our eyes on all kinds of things. Um. I was really really hoping.

I was really hoping that the President would decide to troll the media and leak his Supreme Court nominee sometime today because if he did it, everybody and their brother would have to come rushing back from their vacations in order to cover it live, and for me, that's fun to watch. So everybody would have had the lead. Then the Long Island Expressway coming back from the Hamptons would

have been absolutely log jammed. What am I saying? Wolf Blitzer and all those media elites would take a helicopter into the city. They wouldn't be on the l I E. No, no, no, not even in the stretch uber that they would take. But it's not happening. I wished it were happening, but it's not. So we're gonna deal with Monday night at nine o'clock Must See TV, the president once again dominating

prime time television. And I mentioned earlier that it's going to be ten days that President Trump is going to be owning the media cycle. He's basically owned it since the announcement of the opportunity to nominate someone to the Supreme Court. And the next day, it was a week ago yesterday, a week ago yesterday that we saw the biggest freak out from the people on the left, the people on the left who absolutely lost their minds. My

old boss, Whoopie Goldberg. That's right, you heard that correctly. I worked for Whoopi Goldberg over a decade ago. Whoopee had the biggest freak out on the view as they were talking about what was happening. This was Whoope's reaction to Donald Trump getting a Supreme Court nomination. Get out of my behind, Get out of my vagina. What did you say, Whoopee, Get out of my behind, Get out of my vagina. I don't think we're gonna have any

argument on that. My co Pelica, come on back, buck Sexton mission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistakes, American, You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. No, it is Buck Sexton in about twenty two hours and two days from now, Michael Pelca sitting in from my friend Buck Sexton. I probably screwed up the math, so don't don't at me on Twitter, but I'm filling in for my buddy Buck.

I'll be here for the next hour, and I hope you will hang around. I hope you will be part of the conversation. I hope you will join me in discussing the frivolous Friday question as well as the news of the day. The frivolous Friday question, because it's Friday and we have to take a little light approach to things, is, uh, what's the greatest game show ever in the history of

game shows? I got a bunch of stuff on Facebook, a bunch of you follow me on Facebook and Twitter who have written in and suggested things like the Gong Show, which I think was more of a comedy show then a game show. Because you weren't really winning a lot. It was Chuck Barriss kind of jerk in our chains if you will. A lot of support for the Prices right, A whole lot of support for Jeopardy, of course, because it's the greatest game show ever. But there are people saying,

do you remember the Joker's wild Press your luck? And then they always talk about no Wammy, no wammy, no where. I don't remember that. But if you have a favorite game show and you want to remember it, what about the Newlywed Game? What about the Dating Game? One of the greatest conservatives alive today who puts out a lot of great information on Twitter and online is Chuck Woolery.

Chuck Woolery, the guy who hosted the dating game for quite our Yeah Noah's Love Connection, Chuck Woolory Love Connection where he did We'll be back in two and two And Chuck got blacklisted in Hollywood for being a conservative, and he's had to make his own way. But I'm real proud of Chuck Woolery and proud to call him a friend and a conservative. Also in the conservative world, great game show host Pat Say Jack, Yeah, Say Jack's a conservative? Do you follow him on Twitter? You should,

but I'd love to hear what your thoughts are. Who is your pick? What is your pick for the greatest Game show ever? Eight four four nine Buck eight four four nine D b U c K Just a little frivolity on this Friday, reports by the way out of North Korea. Our Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is saying

that we've made progress in the negotiations. You know, he flew back to North Korea because we got reports from our own surveillance that North Korea was up to no good, that they weren't doing what they had indicated they would do in terms of shutting down uranium enrichment and stopping the production of nuclear materials. And I believe that the dance with North Korea is not going to be a

short dance. It's going to be a dance marathon. In order to shut down this guy, it's gonna take constant pressure, it's going to take more sanctions it's going to do it's got to be like the toughest teacher you ever had, who was leaning over your shoulder watching you write out your assignments. That's what we're gonna have to do with this guy, and keep holding the carrot, but also keep

waving the stick. So I'm I'm happy to hear that that the Secretary of State is making progress, and I'm happy to see that he's posting updates online because that lets the mainstream media know that you're not going to get away with Tarran this down. I still believe that it's going to take more than one year, as Pompeio says, in less than a decade that the left is saying

for us to solve the North Korean crisis. Now, there's also news coming out of d c UM that that we have to address today, serious news that we have to address today, and it's about the economy. The economy is on fire. And yet the left has taken on the same kind of approach they did when the tax cuts hit. Did you see the reaction today? They the left actually called the economic report today the jobs report today. They actually werefer to it as reckless. Are you kidding me?

Do you have a gigantic boost in jobs? You have a spike expected to be about a hundred and ninety thousand, You've got more than two thousand jobs that were created, you have more people rushing to get back to the employment world. When when Barack Obama was in office, we had people running away because they could get more money not working than working. But now we have a hundred and fifty five million plus people employed in this country.

We saw manufacturing spike thirty six thousand jobs. It's huge. We have Hispanic unemployment at a lowest level ever Hispanic unemployment. What do you think that's going to do to the mid term elections. If we can keep the economy strong, if we can keep this economy percolating, you can keep his Spanic unemployment strong, you can keep women unemployment strong, you can keep black unemployment at those low levels, and then we'll start to see prices being paid to workers

go up, wages rising. Of course, we do have costs that we have to deal with. There's a spike in oil. There is a possibility that inflation is looming. But people are starting to have confidence and hope in this economy, and that means that this president could break a historic precedent. And I'm talking about the mid term elections. Jinks. Basically, Now,

there's a story on Brightbar today. I don't spend a lot of time on Brightbar today, but they have summarized a Reuter's pole a Reuter's poll that should have Democrats freaking out. I almost said something worse Nancy Pelosi wedding herself. Maybe that's the way to approach it. Young white Americans are running away from the Democratic Party in huge numbers, and it's not just since the election of Trump, but it's a continuing trend. Today, thirty nine percent of young

white Americans say they favor Republicans. Thirty nine percent of young white Americans say they favor Democrats. That was a different story, in a very different story in TWI. The poll reveals this Reuter's poll reveals that Democrats are losing young Americans overall. Before Trump's election, fifty fifty five percent of young Americans favored Democrats over Republicans. Today, that margin is down to only forty six percent of young Americans

who are still loyal to Democrats. Now, there's going to be a big discussion over what's the big issue as we approached the midterms and the top two According to a different poll, the top two issues are im graction and the economy. And I wish, you know, we've got the economy bubbling. I wish we could get something done in some way, shape or form on immigration, something concrete that would show to the people that Donald Trump is working to solve this problem. We need help, though, from

people on both sides of the aisle. The United States is the most generous country in the planet, especially when it comes to citizenship. We take in, we allow in, We process more than one point five million immigrants every year, one point five million. Just let that number marinate. And then there are the people who have crossed here illegally, the illegal aliens. But we continue bringing in more than

a million legal immigrants every year, every single year. I think that with Donald Trump, with the growing economy, you're fine only seeing a reality that those immigrants coming to

this country are no longer defaulting to Democrats. So with the young people running away from Democrats in numbers, with the immigrant population starting to move towards at least an open consideration for one or the other, conservative or liberal, with black Americans starting to look at Donald Trump and saying, you know, he was right when he said, what do

you have to lose? We have the Democrats very, very worried, and they should be worried, especially after the New York primary where the number four Democrat in the house lost to a twenty eight year old Democratic socialist, a socialist who who basically is lying about who she is as well as her story. She's not a girl from the Bronx. She's not Jenny from the block. She grew up in Westchester County. And those of you who know New York and outside of New York's City, west Chester is known

to the cool kids as best Chester. That's where Martha Stewart has one of her homes. There's a lot of rich folks in Westchester. So I'm just saying, keep an eye on this. If the economy keeps percolating and the GOP can get something done on immigration, we will have a historic change in mid term election momentum. And I just I just hope the GOP doesn't shoot itself in the foot and ruin the opportunity they have. But back to the frivolous Friday question. Pat in Alabama is checking in. Pat,

Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. How are you Did we lose? Pat? Pat? Are you with me? I was hoping to get Pat's opinion on the Best Game Show, but apparently we've lost Pat. I'll tell you what, Pat, I'm I'm going to give you a hey, Pat, are you with me? Thank you? Hey? Welcome Pat. What part of Alabama, Nick City? Where is that? I don't know that north southeast west, across the river from Columbus, Georgia. Okay, it's a beautiful part, beautiful part of the world. Absolutely,

all right. What's your vote for the greatest game show? Ever? How about this is gonna age me? Sixty dollar question? The sixty four thousand dollar question doesn't aid you at all. You sound like you were a kid watching that show. That's a good one. Now you still you still have a TV? Right, because I've been hearing from people all night who say I haven't had a TV in seven years. I actually I'm still addicted to television. I just watched

different shows now. Now I do love Jeopardy, but but I can remember when the six Now the question was where it was at? And can you remember? I mean, we go back this far. Sixty four thousand dollars was life changing money at one point, exactly. It was monumental

in those days. And you know what to to most of us today, sixty four thousand dollars would do a whole lot to dent some of the problems people have in their in their budgets, So I'm not going to discount that could you couldn't even buy some cars dollars. That's that's so true. You couldn't buy a Tesla, You couldn't buy many benz and and Merseilles Benzes and BMWs with that money. But great to hear from you, Pat. I appreciate you being there and thanks for joining me

tonight as I fill in for Buck. I'll take one more quick one here. Kim is in Texas? What part of Texas? Kim, Well, I'm out in the country and mcdate okay, and you're obviously still you still got a TV, so you're you're voting on the game show. Yes, we don't have cable, but we have satellite. That's all we can get. Yes, but my favorite game show is Match Game.

The Match Game, the classic one with Gene Rayburn is what you were saying, Yes, Yes, I love it, love it because it was risk a um and it really kind of told the history of how things were back then because a lot of the contestants, you know that were women, um, mostly did not have a job. They were hometakers and things like that or things. It just it just represented the history of where we were. Not that I'm like comnist or anything like that, but I'm

just saying I love that show. Love that show. Well, I'm old enough to remember a show that they could not do today because it would be considered too sexist. And that's Queen for Day. Do you remember that one, Oh,

Queen for a Day? No, I don't. They took women who were housewives and put them on the show and they competed against each other, and for the grand prize you want to talk about sexist, they got like a washing machine or a dishwasher, right right right, Well, you know, just just like in the old days of all the game shows. You know what they offered, you know in the when they go back that far. Yeah, it was washing machines, carpet cleaner, all that. But but I lost

something to make you work at home. It was yes, right by Jean Rayburn. He was so funny, just you know, and they he really touched upon a lot of uh innuendos. So and they say, and a ton of innuendo. Kim, I'm up against the bray guy. Appreciate just say how to Texas? For me? I missed Texas greatly. Have a great day. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton.

Michael Pelta in for buck Sexton Tonight, buckleby back Monday. He's getting a long weekend. I appreciate the opportunity to be back with so many of you who are checking in tonight. I'm hearing from a lot of you and many of you on Facebook,

and you're voting on the greatest games. You question it's a frivolous question, but we're we're covering serious stuff too. We talked about the economic numbers today, We talked about the midterm elections. We talked a little bit about this release of the new memos between Struck and Page that made it look like they really had a plan to prevent Donald Trump from becoming the president, and the abuse of the FISA Court. If you missed it in the

first hour, make sure you get the podcast. It's on iHeart Media, Stitcher and uh iTunes, and you'll be able to check that out and see what we were talking about. As well as some of the folks calling in on the Best Game Show Ever? Eight four buck eight four four nine zero zero b U C. K Let's check In with Peter and Sarahtota, Saratoga Springs, New York. Peter, welcome to the program. Thank you. I'm happy you're here, and I'm curious. What is your choice for the greatest

game show ever? Actually I got two of them. The first one is What's My Line? And the second one, of course, it's Jeopardy. They both make easy brains. Yeah, I like that What's My Line where you had to guess what people did for a living, and the panel if the person was likely to be famous. The panel was actually blindfolded, so it was kind of cool to see that. And you're right on Jeopardy. I think the more we engage our brains, the better we're going to

be at all times. So that's always a good thing. Um, And and uh, what's my Line? They haven't brought it back. I think that's a tough one to bring back. They brought back so many of the old shows, but that would be a tough one. Thank you, Peter. I appreciate you checking in. I think I have enough time to do one more quick check in on this frivolous Friday poll. Felix and p A. What's going on? Felix? Hello, Mike, Hey, um, you know that young Tom Selleck actually froze, either on

a dating game or love connection. I remember a lot of celebrities made their bones in the early days. Even Arnold Trutzen was seen on the on the Dating game in the very early part of his career. So you can go back and find a lot of those on the YouTube's. There were a lot of fun I of course loved the bloopers. I love everything about the bloopers, and I appreciate you checking in. We got to go into the history file in the next half hour and we'll dive in a little deep dive on some Major

League Baseball history and the greatest game ever played. I've got the details. Next on the Buck Sexton Program with Mike Opelka, he's holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back. Michael Pelka is in for Buck. Buck will be back officially physically Monday, but I'm here for the remainder. Been here all night. Have enjoyed you guys interacting answering Friday's frivolous question, and what's the greatest game

show ever? Eight four four Bucks? Still a little time for you to join in the conversation eight four four nine zero zero Buck. Interesting that Buck and I followed the same stories, and uh, I know he was tracking the story of the thirty year old man in San Antonio at a what a Burger who stole the hat off a sixteen year old Trump supporter and porta soda

on him. The thirty year old guy who doesn't deserve to have his name on the radio, was taken into custody at his home in Universal City, Texas without incident by the Robbery Task Force in San Antonio. Good for those detectives who tracked this guy down and arrested him

for stealing the make America Great hat off this juvenile. Now, can you imagine if we had just dialed this back three years ago, or five years ago or eight years ago, if you'd have had someone with a hope and change hat on in a burger joint and a member of a GOP group had gone up and grabbed the hat and thrown the drink on the guy and said, your

hat's gonna look great in my fireplace. Bach Can you imagine the outrage this guy would have There would have been a man hunt, there would have been a reward for his capture and conviction. Obama would have called for a Burger summit. But thank god for the Internet, because this guy lost his job. Then he was arrested, and the company that had employed him, a bar that employed this idiot, made a public statement saying that we don't

endorse this. We believe that everybody has free speech. And I'm sure that was a smart bit of pr for them to get that out there. But great to see. That's a follow up on one of the stories I know Buck was covering last night on the show, and he also covered the Alan Dershowitz story, and I thought this was interesting. Buck mentioned, um the hair of one

Joe Scarborough. And I actually used to spend a lot of time traveling between Washington, d C. Delaware in New York City when I had my Blaze beat, and I was covering New York stories as well as DC stories out of my freedom bunker here in Delaware. And got on the train one day and sure enough, there's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brazinski and they're on the train and I regularly trolled both of them during my Blaze days.

If you go back and search my Blaze story account, you will see that I gave them no wiggle room. But I walked up and introduced myself to him because we have a friend in common, and Joe goes, come on over here, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, and we actually sat and talked civilly. And I disagree with so much that comes out of Joe Scarborough's mouth, but I have to agree with Buck. His hair kind of kind of spectacular. I have tonsorial envy.

My hair um has prematurely departed most of it. There's still a little bit left. But I know Buck played a clip from Joe Scarborough mocking Alan Dershowitz yesterday. There's a follow up to that, so let's remember what Scarborough said about Dershowitz. He's upset because doing the bidding of Donald Trump and by extension, Vladimir Putin by attacking Robert Mueller the third. He's not allowed to come to the

trendiest clam banks without filling a cold shoulder. Kind of a kind of a crappy statement to make you know, kind of a little it's kind of like Junior High to make that kind of a statement. Well, Alan Dershowitz was on with Tucker Carlson last night. I happened to catch it, and he had a couple of things to say, a couple of things to say, and one of them very pointedly at Joe Scarborough. Here's the first thing Dershowitz said. I don't think what you're describing is a liberal phenomenon.

I'm a liberal. I think it's a hard left radical phenomenon. I think liberals still support free speech, liberals still support due process. But the Democratic Party and the left has been taken over by radicals who have no interest in due process. They're like Negroponte. They only want their truth to prevail. They don't want any descent, they don't want

any arguments happening in university campuses. And when you have professors like Negra Ponte giving the students the lesson it's okay not to engage, not to talk to people you disagree with, it's a terrible reflection of what's going on in the United States of America. Dershowitz is right, and Dershowitz is a liberal, a guy who's able to defend the constitution from the perspective of the Constitution and not

from a political perspective. And so when when he also talked about the fact that his opinions, which are defending the Constitution and seemed to support Donald Trump, make it all the way to Martha's Vineyard, then he has shut out, shunned, if you will, by the limousine liberals, who, as I like to call him, the Mercedes maoists of the Martha's

Vineyard Nantuckett crowd. And so when Dershowitz heard the Morning Joe mocking, he responded back to Joe Scarborough, and I think I would hope that MSNBC had the spine to follow up on this. I challenge Morning Joe to have me on the show when he mocks me so that I can respond. It's easy and kind of unfair to attack somebody and then not give him an opportunity to respond. Let's see if he has the guts to put me on his show so that I can tell his view is the truth. I love it when he puts the

emphasis on guts. This is a guy. He's not a young guy, but he's kind of calling out Scarborough. I think he's older than Joe Scarborough maybe by fifteen or twenty years. But here's Alan Dershowitz just kind of stick in the stick in Joe scarborough side contunity to respond. Let's see if he has the guts to put me on his show so that I can all his view is the truth. I'm waiting. I'm waiting to see if that happens. Let's see if he is the guts. You

don't have the guts, Joe Scarborough. He might have the guts. He has to check with Mika first, that's you know. Obviously you gotta get Mika's permission before you would allow Alan Dershowitz on the show. A liberal, a Harvard liberal that you're afraid of, Morning Joe, what the hell is wrong with you? I will tell you they were very civil on the train, even pose for a little picture with Mika and Joe. But I would love to see

Alan Dershwitz take them both on. I'd love to see Alan Dershwitz deliver a little television justice to that MSNBC show. All right, I don't know if um, I guess, I guess we have time to introduce you to a new sponsor. And this relates to Joe Scarborough. This relates to many on the left who are still about the election. This relates to the Hillary fans. And I want to share for you a new Buck Sexton show sponsor. They may only be on with us tonight, but this is a

brand new drug called grow a Set. Are you easily offended? Do you find yourself crying when you realize the electoral college was won by Donald Trump and not Hillary Clinton? Did you hold a pants suit party only to have it turned into a pity party? Then you need to ask your doctor about grow a set. It's essentially a

backbone for some a pair of testicles for others. So if you're one of those precious snowflakes who can't wait for the next Yankee Candle catalog to arrive, or you will binge watch Nicholas Sparks movies, perhaps you could benefit from grow a Set, the new f D approved drug for people who are too easily offended or just can't

take a joke. Side effects from gross set include happiness, no longer crying in front of your friends, and the ability to hold a conversation with people of a different mindset. Ask your doctor about grow a set. Yes, grows set. I don't think you're going to be finding that in your local store. I just wanted to share that with you. My name is Michael Pelico. I'm gonna step aside. When we come back, I want to go into history. I want to take a look at what's going on in history.

Oh you know what, before we get out of here, before we take a break. Right here, James is on the line, checking in from Round Rock, Texas. James, I love me some Round Route Texas. You're in a great part of the world. But you wanted to weigh in on the best game show ever? Oh I heard I had to weigh in. I'm not sure if anybody said this yet, but Family Feud with Steve Harvey. Yeah, I love Family Feud and I love it with Steve Harvey because he is so damn funny. But do you even

remember Family Feud with Richard Dawson. Yeah, well that was before my time of keep watching. But um, i've seen reruns. It's not as good you put. You put Steve Harvey in any of the shows that you you've named so far, and it'd be the best best game show out there. He's just he's a character. Yeah, I'm a fan of Steve Harvey. I think he's really funny and he under he understands entertainment from a family level. But he also

dances on the double ontendre line quite a bit. But if you go back and watch, as you mentioned some those old Richard Dawson shows, I got a story I need to tell about Richard Dawson on the set of Family Feud. Because he thought he was a master chess player. He envisioned himself as a chess player, and there's a story that drifted out from inside of the production company that he wanted to play chess before every taping and

he needed to win. So they hired a really big chess guy to go in and play Dawson, but they paid him to lose so Richard would come out with a real positive attitude, and Dawson kind of got cocky and started mocking the guy, and one day the guy had had enough. Dawson was saying, well, you're a big chess player, but I beat you every day, And finally the guy had enough and he beat him the next day at chess and Dawson refused to come out for

the taping. This Hollywood legend, I gotta make sure it's true. But he apparently wouldn't come out of his trailer. He was so distraught and they had to send the audience and the contestants home for the day. A little bit of celebrity meltdown, just a little inside story. So when we come back, thank you James from Round Route for chicken In. When we come back, I I gotta talk history because something happened on this day, back in the

day that bears learning about. And it's uh, the greatest game that was ever played first happened on this day, and it happened in my hometown of Chicago. We'll talk about that next on the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca wrapping up my night here filling in for my pal Buck Sex. Then thank you for joining me. Obviously, this audience very act of voting for a lot of different game shows. And if you missed anything, I heart media. Stitcher and iTunes will carry the entire podcast, so go

and check it out. If you're looking for me, you can find me on iTunes, Stitcher, SoundCloud, et cetera under pure O Pelka, pure O Pelky. You'll see what I do. I'm also on the Twitter at stunt Brain and I'm on Facebook you can follow me on Facebook as well. I appreciate it. A word on the on the tariffs in the trade war. The President, I believe, is a guy who doesn't want any tariffs go in either direction. So I think that's the end game, and I think

we gotta watch it. We already saw Angela Merkel last night saying she didn't want tariffs, any tariffs on American cars, which means a Corvette goes from ninety four thousand in Germany to fifty four thousand in Germany. And that's the way trade is supposed to be. I believe the President is protecting us. I believe he's protecting our intellectual property in his efforts to get China's attention. And it might have a little painful stuff before we get to the

good stuff. So just watch that space now. I was talking about history, as I love history, buck Love's history. On this day, back in the day, in nineteen forty five, Operation Overcast, which became Operation paper Clips started. That's a secret program we used to bring German and Austrian scientists to America. It changed the course of this nation. Immigrants coming here legally are important and vital. Remember that on this date in nineteen fifty seven, ALTHEA. Gibson won Wimbledon.

She was the first black person to win that title. Very important moment in history. But also on this date, in nineteen thirty three, something happened in Chicago, in my hometown. The first All Star Game was played, the very first Baseball All Star Game. And think about it, it was a time in our great nation when the American League and the National League didn't have interleague play. It didn't

happen until the World Series. And at this time, in nineteen thirty three, just out of the Great Depression, baseball was having a huge problem. They couldn't get people in the stands, they couldn't get the audience's attention. The revenues

were dropping like a rock. But that's when that's when a sports editor, a guy that nobody thinks about, a guy named Archwards, suggested to the Commissioner of Baseball, suggested to the team owners that you get the best players from both leagues to play together in what they were gonna call the Game of the century. And in nineteen thirty three, after he convinced the owners, he convinced the league.

He even guaranteed to make up any losses with his own salary, they decided to have the Game of Century. And one of the things that Archward insisted on in his ideas was that the fans have a say. The fans got to vote the players in. So you had, for the first time, fans voting for Garrig fans voting for Babe Ruth. This was one of the greatest inventions ever for Major League Baseball. Happened to be an unabashed

baseball fan. And my Chicago White Sucks are having a terrible season, or is it's known in the world a building rebuilding season, But it was on this date back in three one of America's great traditions started at Comiskey Park at thirty fifth and Shield Street in Chicago, Illinois. And it was all because one guy had an idea. And that's what this country is about, finding an idea, finding your passion, pushing it forward, putting yourself on the line.

And years later, the great tradition continues. The greatest game in baseball, the annual All Star Game, and it happens on the seventeenth of this month in Washington, d C. Just a little bit of history for you. Michael Pelca is saying thank you so much for joining me tonight. Thank you Buck. The Godfather is always listening. God can find me on Twitter, on Facebook, and occasionally here on the radio Test Studo, my friends, Test Studo
