I understand that they're not exactly having to deal with a serious press core day in and day out, so so maybe they're getting a little bit lazy, and maybe there's actually just a sense that the people that are speaking for Biden don't have to deal with reality very much because the press core around though, is always just, oh, everything so amazing. But the White House put out an official and official tweet just in time for Independence Day weekend planning a cook out this year. Catch up on

the news. According to the Farm Bureau, the cost of a fourth of July barbecue is down from last year. It's a fact. You must hear, hot Dog. The Biden economic plan is working, and that's something we can all relish. Biden economic plan is working. This is delusional, This is lunacy. And first of all, if you're wondering at a minimum, you're losing a whole lot of money, because you know, the retail price of gas per gallon on average in twenty twenty at in June was about two dollars and

seventeen cents a gallon. Now it's three dollars and fifteen cents a gallon according to the data that I pulled. We all know gas more expensive, It's a lot more expensive. So you're definitely losing money this Independence Day, traveling to relatives, going to the grocery store. And look, on top of all of that, there were supply chain issues. You remember this in May and June that led into July as well, especially for meat. Remember the supply chain issues for meat.

So they may be able to try to do a well a year to year comparison and tell you that, well, you could save sixteen cents, and like I said, don't get too crazy, you know, investing that sixteen cents in crypto and becoming a billionaire. Right, be smart with your sixteen cents, peasants. That's what this White House wants going to know. There's no doubt anybody who's gone grocery shopping recently knows food is getting more expensive. Inflation is very real.

It's happening. And inflation is the prime mary Side effect, you know, the thing that really concerns people when you are spending too much money and do not have enough real productivity in the economy to support they're spending you're doing. So that's why the eight hundred and fifty thousand jobs at it in June a little better than expected. That's good. And notice how I say that's good. I don't sit here and say, oh, my gosh, it was there should

have been a five million jobs. No. I when there's real news that actually is in the interests of the United States of America, I'm happy because I'm not a commy that hates this place or just really cares about being in power when it comes to America. But there's more than just the eight hundred and fifty thousand jobs number for the month of June. Unemployment actually increased from five point eight to five point nine percent. You have over nine point three million job openings the Biden plan.

When you look at the things that he has actually done, When you look at what the Biden administration has been up to, things like spending too much money, things like paying people to stay home. The effects of this or that we have a much weaker real recovery than we should. You go back and look at what was the economy like in in October of twenty nineteen or November of twenty nineteen. Ye know, right before the pandemic swept in what was the economy, Like, we should be there and

better than there. Right, we should already be back at that level and on the way to a whole new, greater, more prosperous future. Because thankfully, capitalism is a wealth machine. That's what it does. It creates individual and societal wealth over time. And we have a hundred years now of capitalism and practice around the world to show us that

things should be better. What's the problem. The bidenstration is run by a bunch of ideologue, equity obsessed socialists who would much rather spread around what's there and spend what's not theirs then allow the American people to just go back to doing what they do and making this place, continuing to make this place the wealthiest country, the most prosperous country in the world. Now, I know some of

you're saying we're not the wealthiest per capita. Yeah that's true, But I'm not exactly sitting around green with envy over Lichtenstein or something. Anyway, it was so funny in this White House tweet center cut pork chops down two percent from last year, fresh squeezed lemonade down two percent from last year, sliced cheese down one percent from last year. Clearly they're very sensitive to the whole Your food is more expensive, your gas is more expensive, Buying a house

is more expensive. Why is all of that happening? Well, we know the reasons, and the people in charge do not understand the economy, all right. They do not understand how these things actually work. Or rather, maybe they do understand and they don't care, and they just want to spread the wealth around, redistributed a little bit, redistributed a little bit. That's what I would like to know. So anyway, the Biden economy is weak. Things are getting more expensive.

We can all see it. We can we all know it, and they can try as much as they want to pretend that things are getting better. Oh wait, can we can we play while I'm focused on getting people back to work and churning on the economic engine of capitalism that has brought more people more prosperity in this country and any country that's used it in all of human history. John Kerry, who's very good at marrying rich ladies who got a lot of money from their ex husbands, that's

John Kerry's economic skill. Yeah, it's true. The truth hurts here he is telling you that the will focus now hash to be on having a wartime mentality toward climate change. Play clip one. We've got to get a kind of wartime mentality. Here, let me give you a measure of that. We are told by scientists, experts, people aren't measuring what we need to do to get the reductions necessary to achieve a one point two goal, one point five goal.

Is it achievable? Yes, I'm hearing some whispers from various scientists that we may already have been locked into a course that blows by it. I don't, I hope not. We don't know yet. But the fact is that we need to accelerate every effort we're making, and there's so many things that could change in order to begin to do that. You know, one thing that could change is that John Kerry could stop flying around in private jets, he could stop sailing around in yachts, he could stop

living in multiple mansions. But he's not going to do any of that, not even a little bit. He is going to lecture you because Carrie is really the distillation of an elite. John carry more than any other person in the Biden administration, and in so many ways is exactly when when we're talking about the Democrat elite, here's a guy who's who's a joke, but has managed to just put himself in. I mean, he was the Secretary of State, for Heaven's sakes under the Obama administration, and

he just he marries rich ladies, not an accident. Will you do it once? Maybe it's love. You do it twice. I think there's something going on there. I'm sorry, I think that's I think that's quite a coincidence. You only marry super rich heiresses two for two, okay, to fund your political career. So him saying we have to have a wartime mentality toward climate change, I mean, this is insane. This is a religious belief for people who think they're too smart for religion. But this is where this is

where they are. This is the the situation of the Democrats at this point. There was a lot about the COVID lockdown mentality that really appealed to them. There was a lot that they felt they were they were gaining in that whole process because people were so scared and so compliant, and Democrats love that. They want more of it. They want you to comply now to their their absurd climate change wishes. Oh, it's going to be so terrible unless we all start driving electric cars. We need electric

cars in rural areas, and it's like a fixation. Normal people don't sit around and saying, oh, we need more electric charging stations, and you know, the middle of of rural Kentucky, we really don't. That's not what the folks of Kentucky are sitting around hoping for from the government, I can assure you. But this is what the elites in DC believe. It's it's the whole thing. After a while, you just realize it is so completely absurd, so absolutely bizarre.

Speaking of bizarre, I gotta tell you this was an amazing story to see my friend Charles Cook with the hat tip over at National Review. San Jose attempts to trample the rights of law abiding gun owners. This is California's third most populous city wanting to tax citizens for their Second Amendment rights. Let me read you from some of this piece that Charles Cook has up on National Review. The government of San Jose has concocted a brilliant plan

to fight crime. It intends to target the people who don't commit it. Once its new rule has been finalized. Later this year, the city will become the first jurisdiction in America that requires gun owners to pay an annual fee before they can exercise their right to own a firearm. Henceforth, it seems San Jose hopes to be heavy on the bill, light on the rights. Reporting on the policy, the San Francisco Chronicle submits that the measure will force firearms owners

to pay back taxpayers for gun violence. But payback isn't really the right phrase, is it, Charles Wrights? One pays back something one has borrowed, owes, or that will compensate another for one's actions. Most gun owners in San Jose and elsewhere have nothing to pay back. Per the San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose spends sixty three million dollars each

year dealing with violence that involves guns. How much of that violence was caused by the sort of legal gun owners who pay personal property taxes and take out insurance. The answers close to none. This being so, one can only assume the city's argument is that, by insisting upon maintaining their right to keep in bear arms, law abiding citizens put themselves at fault for any subsequent abuse of

that right by others. That's right. Why not have a end quote there by the way, for Charles, why not have a fee you have to pay to user first Amendment rights, or a poll tax, for example, where you have to pay to vote. Why not have some of those punished by the state. Ah, because we realize that would be wrong and that's stupid and immoral and ah. But you see, the Second Amendment isn't really an amendment. The right to bear arms isn't really a right. That's

what the left believes. And even if they know, and you have to remember this, even if they recognize that what they're doing is destined to be overturned in the courts, which this certainly well, this certainly would be, it will take time. There will be a problem here in the meantime right there, They're going to have to work this through the court system, and they'll have the law in place unless they can get a judge, a federal judge

to suspend it. It will just take a couple of years probably for this to make its way all the way up. And in the meantime they stick their thumb in the eye of lawful gun owners. I assure you, there's almost nobody in San Jose that's using their gun in gun violence. Who's a law abiding gun owner who will be paying the special San Jose gun tax. But anything they can do to show their disdain for people who believe in the Second Amendment, that that's the attitude

of the gun grabbers. Always has been, always will be. I was just looking today at my stock account, because I'm very active in trading day in and day out as much as I can be.

gun owner tax is really really dumb. But this was also, for me, a remarkable story here. This is the New York Times. Target store closings show the limits of pledge to black communities. The shuttering of a store in Baltimore is a sobering reminder of the realities of capitalism in a moment when corporations are promising to support Black Americans.

Here's the piece today in the New York Times when Target announced it was opening a store in Manda Manda Mondo, men, I don't know how to say that one sorry, a predominantly black neighborhood in this city, struggling with crime and poverty. It seemed like a ticket to a turnaround, and from the start it was a practical success and a point

of community pride. The store, which opened two thousand and eight, carried groceries, operated a pharmacy, and had a Starbucks cafe, the only one in this part of Baltimore's West Side. People came from across the city to shop there, helping to soften Mondoo Men's reputation for crime and the looting that followed protests over the twenty fifteen death of Freddie Gray.

As an employer, Target seemed to community, seemed to cater to the community's needs, making a point of hiring black men and providing an office in the store for a social worker to support the staff. Elijah Cummings, a congressman from Baltimore, was known to shop there, but in February twenty eighteen, with almost no warning our explanation, Target closed the store. Residents, especially those without cars, lost a convenient

place to shop for quality goods. Three years later, the store remains empty, and it's closing still stings resiment a residence and Baltimore officials who expected the store to help their revitalization efforts in the area. Many national retailers have faced criticism in the past for failing to open up in poor and black communities, creating food deserts or a

lack of access to quality foods. This year, Target made a highly public pledge to help black communities nationally in the wake of George Floyd's killing in the retailer's home city of Minneapolis, Valid to spend two billion dollars. So, look, this is all about how there's not enough of a support they're saying, and this is a long piece by the way, in the New York Times, not enough support for this black community in Baltimore, predominantly black community. Because

Target is moving out or Target has moved out. What they leave out of this is Target moved out of the neighborhood because it was looted. I'm just wondering, is there any is there any willingness to look at what happened here. One of the first big waves of protests that occurred after the death of Freddie Gray occurred at the Mondowman Mall. Protesters began throwing rocks at police officers

and the mall was looted. Target was spared serious damage, but for a time, many shoppers in the serious damage there was damage stayed away from the store and the place had a bad rap with out of towners. So I mean, I just gotta tell you, Yeah, it turns out when there's looting in an area and there's just and there's damage to a store, people are going to say, I'm not going to continue to operate in that area. It turns out that looting really hurts the communities in

which they happened. It turns out that the frauds who go on MSNBC and CNN and pretend like this is some kind of great moment for social justice or whatever are just virtue signaling at the expense of the very low income and predominantly minority communities where these riots tend to occur. It's not a surprise, folks. And there's no part of this. You say, wow, hold on a second.

You mean Target wouldn't just continue to do operations in an area where there had been looting and rioting and where the target itself had been attacked, and you know, the reputation of it was that this was a place that was dangerous. Maybe we should really oppose looting and rioting.

Maybe we should all agree as Americans that is, it is horrifically unfair to any community when a bunch of social justice activists decide they're going to destroy private and public property, and they're they're going to assault law enforcement officers, and they're going to create anarchy and disorder. You know, I've spent time in the worst parts of Baltimore because

I honestly wanted to see it for myself. I've done a lot of a lot of work professionally over the years in Baltimore because a good client and friend of mine is located, it actually has its headquarters there, a sponsor, i should say, and some friends of mine who work there are based out of Baltimore. So I've spent time and I've said, I want to see, show me areas

of Baltimore, and it's depressing. There are parts of Baltimore that look like they just went through, you know, a hurricane, or they're an a war zone, yet boarded up windows all over the place, empty building after empty building, vacants. They call them these rowhouses that are all vacant. It's

it's sad. But Democrats would rather sit around and whine about police reform because that's the problem, or whine about how Target isn't doing enough for black communities because a Target moved because there were riots that what have they resulted? What was there some big change in the aftermath of the Freddie Gray incident in Baltimore. No, there was no major change in policing. They didn't accomplish something. Instead, it

was just it was just rage. It was destruction. So that's just something that the left will never admit this. They'll never come out and say, you know what, you're right, but here here we are. Oh. The other thing they'll say is if you talk about how things aren't going well in a city, if you talk about how there are problems in a city, you're you're a racist. And if the person in charges a woman as well as being a minority, you're a sexist and a racist. Here's

the mayor of Chicago. Play that clip. Your reaction to criticism a tribute editorial use the term irascible. How much of this do you think might have to do with the fact that you're a woman, and particularly specifically a black woman. About ninety nine percent of it? Expand on that, well, I mean, look a look at my predecessors. Um did people say that rich Daily held, you know, t sessions with people that he didn't disagree on rom Emmanuel was

a polite guy who was a uniter. No, women and people of color are always held to a different standard. I understand that. I've known that my whole life, and the Tribune or whoever can write what they want. Yeah, it's the problem here. I just want everyone understand this.

The problem here is actually that people are sexists and racist, not that the mayor of Chicago is doing a terrible job, right, That's that's what we need to know that from the problem is that other people are bigoted, not that Lori Lightfoot is one of the worst mayors in America and cannot get the violence in Chicago under control, and people who can are fleeing her city for safer, better parts

of America. Now you see no accountability. And then the idiot left media, which is most of the political media, has people like Joy Paiha who come forward to say that, oh, also, the attacks on Vice President Harris are because of her skin color. Playclip three. I mean, this is the second big story about Kamala Harris and negative. The first was at the border, and now this. She's only been in

the job for six months. You know, Joe Biden was working in Congress for forty years before he became Vice president. And you know what's interesting is that this will be used by the right wing to attack the Biden administration. And isn't it interesting that they go after a black woman. They don't go after a white guy, Joe Biden as much because Joe Biden looks like the base on the right.

He looks like them, so that's hard for them to get madded at him, because then they get madded themselves, just say something like psychological's going on there, and so she doesn't look like like the base, so it's easy to go after her. This is so intellectually lazy and stupid. But Joy Behar is intellectually inept and lazy. We don't criticize Biden. We don't go after Biden. I mean it is how how could someone say something so moronic on

television and not just feel utter shame afterwards? You know, I'll be honest with you when when I've been on TV, if I say the unemployment rate is and it's it's not talking about right now, but you know, if I said the unemployment rate was, you know, six point two percent and it's really six point four percent, you know, I kind of feel I feel a little dumb afterwards, I feel a little chasten, like, come on, Buck, get

your game, get your game face on. Joy behar will go on TV day in and day out and make a complete fool of herself, and they pay her millions of dollars to do it. I mean, not like tens of millions, but you know, probably two or three million. Unbelievable. But notice that this is how they try to create a defense here of Kamala If you if you question Kamala Harris, if you think she's doing a bad job, you're racist. It's the go to and sexist too, of course,

it's the go to. Meanwhile, there was that political story that told a lot of people something that is not a surprise, which is that Kamala Harris is not liked by her staff. People do not like Kamala Harris who work for her. Her office, the Vice President's office right now is dysfunctional. People are leaving, they don't want to work with her. So I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you. It's amazing to see. And I guess amazing isn't even really the right word. It's almost it's amusing

and unsettling at the same time. To see that the left wing media will just They'll say anything doesn't matter. The leaks about Kamala Harris to Politico are not from Republican operatives. But now when people say, wow, Kamala's Kamala's not exactly beloved among staffers, it's oh, it's sexism and racism and it's you know, they just they can't attack Biden, so they attack Harris. We attack Biden all day. I

think Biden is basically senile and is a buffoon. And I think, by the way, put aside his age and the quasi sinility issue, the guy has always been a buffoon. He's not very smart, he's a mediocrity. He just says whatever he has to say. So, I mean, how much more criticism of Biden can I even really do. I'm not trying to seem like a weirdo about it, but anyway, I know I spent too much time on on analysis of Joy Behart stupid comments. You know, Megan McCain is

leaving that show. I'm not gonna say Megan Megan had some she had some good moments there. Because when you're surrounded by idiot leftists, all you have to do is not be crazy, and you could really have some some powerful moments. So I don't know who they're gonna try to bring in there. To be a conservative in this

current environment, it's not even really worth it. It's not worth it to sit there and have people who don't read, who don't know anything, but who just kind of pick up, you know, from from ladies with ladies who lunch time on the weekends, you know, at brunch on the Upper West Side, they pick up what they're hearing about politics, and you know, they all know the thing. Republicans bad, Democrats good. That's that's all you have to know to

be a political commentator on the view. It's not worth it anyway, I've spent too much time talking about the view. But I just thought that was funny. Yeah, the right, the right won't attack Biden is her analysis. It's hard to think of something dumber than that. It really is hard to think of something more more idiotic. But you know, actually, I remember when Anna Navarro went on This is a Great Moment. And Navarro went on the Bill Mars Show

and she was trashing Trump. She was a big Bush, Jeb Bush defender, and she was trashing Trump for nepotism and saying the only reason that I think it was Donald Trump Junior, somebody who was famous because of his last name, and then it was but yeah, vote for Jeb Bush. It was like, ah, so turns out that Jeb Bush also has a famous last name, which is the only reason anybody's heard of him because of who

daddy was. Anyway, pretty pretty remarkable stuff. What is happening right now is a lot of people their eyes are opening up and they're going, wait a second. Joe Biden campaigned is a moderate, reasonable guy, not as a crazy lunatic leftist, And what we're seeing now, I think is setting us up to have a very very good election in twenty twenty two and an even better election in twenty twenty four. I do think things are looking pretty good right now. It's Democrats. It's just it's just too

obvious Biden shouldn't run again. They know that. So they've really got a one termer. I mean, they could try to push this to two, but that's just going to be absurd, beyond belief. They're the borders, ms the economy. It's look, I'm pretending the economy is terrible. Were not in a recession or depression or anything, but the economy should be a lot better than it is, and the decisions they're making are just just hurting things. They're not

making things better. They're spending too much money inflations creeping up. This stuff about wokeness and critical race theory in schools is exposing how insane the left really is. So I do think we're in for some better I think we're in for a better mid term election than we might have thought even a few months back. But I wanted to point this out there now. Rass Mussen is a

generally right leaning polster. I think it's fair to say rass Mussin tends to tends to lean a bit right, but this was an interest But nonetheless, I mean, I think it's a reputable polster. And here's what he wrote, or sorry, here's what the poll says. How likely is it that cheating affected the outcome of the twenty twenty presidential election? In this Rasmussen today, very or somewhat likely.

Democrats only thirty percent, but unaffiliated so independence fifty one percent, GOP seventy four percent, White voters, all white voters, fifty one percent, Black voters forty nine percent thought there was cheating that affected the outcome of the twenty twenty presidential election.

Other non white voters, so I guess Latino, Asian, etc. Fifty six percent all voters together, according to Rasmussen, of all voters put together, a majority a swim, but a majority fifty one percent believe that there was cheating that affected the outcome of the election. Now, I'll tell you right now, as I've said all along, there absolutely was cheating, because there's always cheating in a presidential election. The question is merely can you limit the cheating so that it

doesn't change any outcome anywhere? But fifty one percent of the country, of all voters, believe that there was cheating that affected the outcome. Now, I know you can say, well, Buck, doesn't not just coincide with you know that, you know, basically the GOP plus a few independents, I mean, forty nine percent of black voters thought there was cheating that

affected the outcome. That's not all GOOP voters. Interesting interesting data there, and it just reminds me that, you know, we're not allowed to we're not allowed to question this election. That's that's the new rule that they've set up, and

they enforced it on social media and other places. But a lot of people, including Democrats, actually questioned the election, and I think that by cramming down the narrative with all the force they can muster, what they've really done has made people more willing to believe that perhaps there was something. You know, why are the Democrats so insistent? Why is the apparatus of the federal government, the bureaucracy, the deep state? Why are they so insistent in preventing

anybody from asking questions? That makes people want to ask more questions. And I think that's what's what's ended up happening here. So just note that that is what is going on with that, And what else do we have to hear? Oh, just just one quick one. I saw this athlete who is supposed to be one hundred meter dash Olympian American athlete who's being disqualified for marijuana use. I don't get this. I don't get this. Why is

marijuanas Doesn't it make you run slower? I mean, who cares if someone smoked marijuana and then they want to go compete in the Olympics. It's not a performance enhancing drug. So I don't understand that. And at a time when as everyone is pointing out, you have a biological male competing against females in weightlifting. What we're really gonna tell somebody that they can't compete against other women because of weed? It does seem it does seem like quite a stretch.

All right, let's get into a roll call. Remember, roll call continues, just like the Buck Sexton Show continues. Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton or email us to Buck at iHeartMedia dot com. And we got producer Brandon on the mic. That a producer Brandon, how are you, buddy, it's been a while, it has How are you, sir? I'm all right. So you and I get to be here right before Independence Day weekend while producer Mark is at the beach drinking. Margarita's laughing at us. I think

that's the situation right now. Yeah, pretty much. Well, do you have any fun plans for the Independence Day weekend? We're saving our plans for next week, going to Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and Chicago. That'll beautiful. You're gonna put post a lot of photos to the Graham you know, that's a beautiful part of the country. Oh yeah, absolutely, I'm hoping to meet up with a as you know, a former Guns and Roses manager who lives in Arizona, just to meet him.

But it's gonna be a fun time. I've never been out those dates, so it's gonna be. How is how is your podcast about Guns and Roses? Appetite for Distraction? How's it doing? I should do Appetite for distraction, Appetite for distortion. Oh so, I'm sorry, that's hilarious distortion. My bad, and I'm sorry. No, it's doing great. You know, I've had some crossover listeners who listen to the Buck Sexton Show join me in my own G and R freedom Hunt, and I got d Snyder coming up next week. So

it's it's going well. Dude. You get you get great guests. I mean I've always I've been impressed all along. You get really solid guests on your podcast. Congrats to you on that. So yeah, folks, you've got a lot of people Brandon in this in this audience, a lot of Team Buck who are like me, and they celebrate those nineties rock and roll bands in a serious way. They're all about it. Yeah. Absolutely, so I'm enjoying it. You know, I'm working from home. If you could, if you can't.

I know, you know that, But that's been like this since the pandemic, and whenever I get a chance to travel, I've gotten upstate a few times and it's been it's been nice. Brandon's gonna be filling in for a Mark a couple of days next week too, so you'll be hearing produce your Brandon but Dan producer Mark. He's coming back. He's gonna love the beach. But you know he's gonna once he's had enough guac and enough enough servesa and

whatever else he's drinking out there on the beach. I don't know why I'm thinking he's having Mexican food in my head, but I but once he's done with that and getting a little sunburned on his nose and stuff, he's gonna come back and he'll be ready to rock in the Freedom Hub. But we got Brandon holding it down. An Appetite for Distortion is his podcast, so folks should definitely go check it out and hear what Brandon's talking

about with nineties rock icons. All right, Dave, first up here in Roll Call, Hey Buck, I'm listening to the the podcast. We were talking about Biden's gun control and his laughable knowledge of the Second Amendment. It always amazes me how ignorant the Left is when it comes to gun control. And I'm cracking up at your reaction to Joy Behar and her garbage take on the crime Spike. You asked if facts matter, and I started laughing so hard it brought tears to my eyes. Of course, facts don't matter

to the Left. I absolutely love the new show. I listened to both the podcast of The Buck Sexton Show and the podcast of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show Shields Hi. Well, that's awesome, Dave. Thank you so much, man. We really appreciate that. You know, the Clay Travis and Bucks Exton Show is. I think we're at number four in all news categories right now, so we've really had a nice boost on the podcast side, and I would love for you folks to who listened to that to

listen to this and vice versa. Gabriel, Hey Gang, Just a friendly reminder from a long time following listener, what is going on with the next episode of Shields High. Why is it taking so long? My family and I have really been looking forward to it and thoroughly enjoyed the other podcast in this series, all right, all right,

I think it's it's a Gabriel or Gabriel. I think it's a V. But I don't know if that's a typo, so it looks like it's I've never heard of Gabriel as a name if it is, and I apologize, but it might be Gabriel. Anyway, it's coming, It's coming. I know I am. I am delayed, but I did have to get linked up here with my man Clay Travis and get ready to co host the biggest radio show

in the country. So to be fair to the Buckster, it has been a busy six weeks or so, but I'm planning to record it actually over the Independence Day weekends. The folks might be able to listen. Producer Brandon, we may be dropping it on Monday or Tuesday, so people have something fun and historical to listen to. James, right, I want to thank you for being a former bureaucrat

who has stood up for conservative values. My fellow government employees, like myself, must maintain a politically neutral stance in any public realm. I started listening to you a few years ago when Beck grabbed you. I thoroughly enjoyed your guest host roles with Rush. I was thrilled when you took over as a co host in the premier EIB slot. Clay is growing on me. Keep up the good work and keep being you. My son has a speech issue due to sensory processing. He mispronounces some words and it

means a lot. You've mentioned several times how you had a speech issue. I am one hundred and fifty percent rooting for you, my friend. Well, James, thank you, and please let your son know that I also had a speech issue. I had a speech impediment. I had to go see a speech therapist. I had people making fun of me for years in my early life, and my parents stayed with me on it when we got past it. And now I co host the biggest radio show in the country. So yeah, please tell your son that from me.

Tell him. Buck says that he wants you to know that he couldn't pronounce his own name properly when he was ten years old, and now he hosts co hosts the biggest radio show in the tree. So please pass that message, James along from me to your son and tell him to stay in the fight. Jake Buckster, Hey, brother, I'm listening to yesterday's podcast and discussion about the Olympic

athlete who wouldn't stand for the flag. The concept of boycotting Olympics over that athlete isn't a response to her, It's a response the organization who keeps her on the team and rewards her for that behavior. They're gonna let her stay and continue to comport herself in that way. Then I'll let them know my disfavor by not watching. I hope others do the same. It's all about incentives. Jake, totally legit, man, I refuse to watch the NBA, and I'm sure there are a lot of great NBA players

who are either non political or very patriotic. I'm sure there are lots of them. I don't know how many, but I'm sorry. Then the NBA and I have a we are we are divorced. We are done. I'm not I'm not watching the NBA anymore, and the NFL not far behind from me. But look at to be honest, I just like foot, like watching football. Bet I'm watching basketball, But so look, we all make our choices about this stuff.

But that's also why when I ask you to support our sponsors and support people who believe in conservative principles who are running businesses. You know, I want to tell you to become a carnivore trader or to go to secure. That's how you vote with your dollars and with your time for the continuation of conservative principles in the media. Because we don't have all the platforms. We don't have and people thought, oh the Internet, now conservatives, Yeah, the

Internet in some ways is the worst. I'll shut you down off of Facebook, they'll kick you off of Twitter, they'll shut off your payment processing on PayPal or Patreon. So you know, we really, we all need your support and conservative media. You know, I'm always very clear with you about that. Janet. I just want to tell you how much I love your program. Well, I loved Rush. I was ready to move on. Wow, I love your program. Keep up the awesome work, Janet. Thank you so much.

That means a lot to play to me, to the whole team here, we're doing the best show we can absolutely every day and this Independence Day weekend, you'll have time to catch up on some podcast. Let me say, if you've never listened to the Shields High series, it's evergreen, it's history podcasting. It's a great listen for this weekend while you're you know, cooking some steaks or something, throw it on and uh and we will also do the Siege of Malta Part two. Hopefully have it out for

you by Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'm gonna do it this weekend, right, I'm gonna do it this weekend, and please pass the buck Sexton Podcast to whomever you can tell somebody about it this weekend. If every single one of you got one person, just one person to try in the buck Sexton Podcast, I think we were, you know, of all news podcasts. This show, I mean, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show is like number

three or four of all podcasts and news. I think in a buck Sexton show we were like maybe in the eighties or nineties this week, which because we're not I'm not focusing on this as much in terms of promotion because of the new show. But that's going to be something that we hopefully we can even out in time. But if every single one of you just shared it with one person, we'd probably break the top twenty. And

we do it next week. So that's my mission for all of you team, all of you right in the center of the freedom hunt, Past the Past the Buck. Tell one person to say hey, and the best thing to do is to email or text them a link to the podcast to be like, hey, check out this guy's podcast. You know, that's the way to really get somebody to learn, because you guys have spread this show. I have no I have no marketing budget. You've spread this to other people anyway. Most importantly of all, have

a great Independence Day weekend. Really enjoy it. You know, we're in a much better place this July is a country than we were last July, and so make sure you get out there, breathe a lot of fresh air, eat some delicious food, spend time with friends and family, love the ones people who matter, or you know, also just find yourself in the shade of a beautiful tree, reading a great book, and take a deep breath and enjoy being an American. All right. I love you guys.

Talk to you next week. Shields High
