Hate Hoax: Smollett Indicted

they're always out to destroy him. We got that in more coming up on the buck Sexton Show. This is the bus Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with assionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, Frank, You're a great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts remember the Sexton. No, I think that Johan Omar understands why her comments were problematic. I don't think that. Um, maybe it was intended in an

anti Semitic way. I think it's just part of a learning process that we have as a country. Frankly from ilhan Omar is a refugee from Somalia. Um, she comes from a different culture, she has things to learn. This controversy over anti Semitic or not has really allowed us to cover over and paper over. I think some otherwise legitimate questions that are fair to be raised. I want to tell you that ilhan Omar or congresswoman is under

tremendous attack death threats. Um. I think maybe she needs some security and why because I think in part the Republicans and the media have blown this up to be much more than it is. You know, I'm sure many people in their freshman term has said things they regret. She has apologized, she's accepted responsibility. It's now time to move on. Welcome to the buck sex and show everybody. Did you did you just get convinced by all those

libs running to ilhan Omar's defense. I'm gonna guess no, you are not, in fact convinced that they are taking this issue seriously. That was that was pretty astonishing. They think that she doesn't really understand fully what she says here, Let's just separate that one out for a second. That was one of my favorite sort of defenses of this or efforts to mitigate the damage from her anti semitism. Here, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, third in line for

the presidency. It's not going to help you or me sleep at night to know that, but that's the truth. There's what she said about Omar, the incident that happened with I don't think our colleague is an anti Semitic. I think she has a different experience in the use of words, doesn't understand that some of them are fraught with meaning that she didn't realize, but nonetheless that we had to address. I mean, Pelosi kind of just went the foreigner, you know, don't really speak English, so good

direction with that. That's what she just did. Can you imagine if a Republican or anybody who wasn't a Democrat running cover for Ilhan Omar was like, you know, she's not so good with the words stuff. Speaks English just fine. She understands exactly what she was saying. She keeps repeating it. This wasn't like she didn't understand some subtle meaning of this.

She knows enough to go after Barack Obama, says the hope and change offered by Obama was a mirage, So she's she knows enough to bring the heat to Obama. I think she knew exactly what she was saying. But Democrats are desperate here. They're just looking to make it pass this current news cycle and hope the figure something else to attack Trump for. But oh, we've got something

else to move to. Breaking news for you is why you know when you tune into the show, you get all the all the best breaking news nuggets, all the latest and greatest. Empire Acting actor Jessie Smollett has been indicted on sixteen felony counts by a Cook County grand jury, sixteen counts of disorderly conic for allegedly making false reports.

He's going to have to take a plea deal, my friends, because I do not think he wants to see where this thing goes if he does not, and I think as part of that plea deal, he's going to have to do a recitation of the facts and the truth and then we will finally be able to move past because there's a there are some dead enders still out there there on the just small at issue. Maybe you know, he when he explains his truth, maybe we'll all know his truth. And I remember what Jesse Smallett used to

say about all this stuff. I'm pissed off. What is it that has you so angry the attackers, the attackers, but it's also the attacks. It's like, you know, at first it was a thing of like, listen, if I tell the truth, then that's it, because it's the truth. Then it became a thing of like, oh, how can you doubt that? Like how do you how do you not believe that it's the truth. And then it became a thing of like, oh, it's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth. You don't even

want to see the truth. Oh no, we see the truth, Jesse. We see it just fine. So does the district attorney in Chicago apparently, who is now throwing fifteen felony or sixteen felony counts your way. He's out on a hundred thousand dollars bail, paid a ten thousand dollars bond, had to give up his passport, all of that stuff. Look, I know that we've taken a few victory laps here because this show, and I publicly was one of the very vocal Jesse Smallett is lying people early on in

this whole process. Remember doing the Jesse updates, He said, I got another Jesse Smallett update for you, we're doing those many many of those. Before it really became obvious to everybody that not only was this not true, that if you still believe Jesse Smollett, you're either being actively actively foolish or dishonest. There really wasn't a middle ground here. There's no reason for a person to believe that what Jesse Smallett was saying added up or made any sense whatsoever.

And now we know, of course it does not. And he's he should do some time. He should do some time. You know, we're gonna talk about Paul Manafort later on this hour, but Paul Manaphor got almost four years in federal prison for stealing from the government. Now, see, because I have principles, and I'm an honest person and don't just seek to score cheap political points on this show or in my life all the time. I mean, I think Jesse Small, he's facing sixteen felon accounts. You know,

he should probably do six months in jail. I think that's about right. Some of you might think that's way too lenient, you know, you might say should be more like eighteen months or a year, but that's around the you know, if he takes a plea bargain, and he does a full, a full recitation of the facts here as they actually occurred, so his whole fraud and lays out the fraud and what he did. And you know, then I think you're looking at you know, a year,

give or take, would be would be fair? Would be fair? Manaphort got almost four years stole. I think they said six. I think he hit six million dollars or failed to pay six million dollars in taxes to the federal government. Okay, they're going to say all kinds of things about how Maniford, and they have been saying it Maniford got some sweetheart

deal because he should have gone away for decades. Criminal justice is one area of government where we should all at least be on the same page that the government should not be locking people up unless there's a really good reason, unless they are really sure they are guilty, and the punishment should be commensurate to the crime. And what we really need to be on guard for is this person is my team a Democrat, therefore they should get this punishment. That person is on their team a Republican,

therefore they should get something else. That's what has been happening with Hillary and Maniford and Papadopolis and go down the list and Michael Flynn and Andrew McCabe are you on my team or their team? What side of the politics do you fall on? Here? That's how harshly you'll be punished. The justice system has lost a lot of credibility in the last two years already. We're going to talk more about where this is going with Maniphor in

a moment here, but just on Smolette. If Smolette does not serve time for the hoax that he perpetrated, the many, many false statements, the police resources devoted to this, if he does not have to spend some time in a prison cell, then we have to ask why anyone convicted under the statute about false reports to authorities would spend time in a prison cell. How much more egregious could

it be? Does a law enforcement officer have to be injured or lose his or her life investigating the false crime? Is that now going to be the standard? Because short of that, what Smolette did drew precious and scarce resources from the Chicago Police Department that has lots of unsolved murders to deal with, to chase around his little self indulgent, babyish hoax. He has to do the time he did the crime. Let's see if in fact we do have

equal justice under law in this country. Manapour got four years. We'll talk more about that. Smollett should serve prison time. I've been saying it for a long time. When I keep saying it, let's watch how the politics plays out on this one, and a lot more will be right back. I think I was when Olman was unfairly singled out. You know, I think that I think that you know, I think that things came down on her a little

too hard. We needed to take on the anti Semitism that was clearly expressed, A bigger tree, a hatred that needed to be addressed, needed to be called out, and you have to speak or even saying that this wasn't about Congresswoman Omar we didn't address it. We just generally said I real basically were against hate, except maybe not the kind of hate of a Democrat that hated Republicans, tried to kill a number of them, shot Steve's khalie. Now,

they didn't want to call out any Semitism directly. They wanted to blend it in so they wouldn't offend anybody, and then then the result was that offended people who are very concerned about another Holocaust coming about some days. A resolution about everything, friends, is a resolution about nothing. That's what the Democrats wanted here, That's what they got. Include all the different things together and then be like, yeah, we're just we're opposed to hate. Well, there's no pro

hate constituency worthy of discussing. I mean, there'll always be hateful morons in every society, in every country. But we don't need the Congress to just at this point take it upon themselves to give us a reminder that they hate hateful people. Thanks Congress. What we do need is an assurance, I think from the left, from the Democrats that they don't have a place in their party for obvious anti semitism, that it's not going to be okay, that this is not a part of discourse. And sure

enough they don't want to give us that. They've got some problems here. They're intersectional politics. You know, what do you do when you know our Muslims? Who are is a female Muslim ethnic minority in a position to speak about Jewish people and Jewish Americans specifically, differently than other people are allowed to because of her background and her religion. Is that now the new is that? The new normal? Is that the new standard? Is that how this is

supposed to work? To go? Democrats should be forced to answer this question, but they had some tough time answering questions. You heard there aoc Yeah, like I mean I just feel like, um, like I don't know, like I mean Omar, Like it just came like down on her, like really hard. Okay, something like that. That sounds more or less like she

was talking that much, mean that much. We know Corey Booker though you know, he's a seasoned politician, right, He's gonna know exactly how to handle this one, isn't he? So any questions anybody? Anybody? They're right in front of me. Yes, and so regarding the controversy surrounding how someone omar? So, can we do you off off topic questions? When we finish, I will happily sit and stand and talk with you about that. But is there anything on this piece of legislation?

There's out there. I can't see the people in the back. Such a big room. No questions want to happen. But I'm gonna end this press combs, let my colleague here take the law. Are you walking all the way back over there? Doesn't seem like he wants to answer the question about Omar. Yeah, I'm gonna let my colleagues, uh something a whoa? Did somebody pull a fire alarm where? You know? He could have just gone for it. You could alway. Hey, you know you got you guys. You

gotta smell something burning. We gotta get out of here. He could always just got a veggie burger calling my name. He does of a veggie burger, call it his name. You know what, man, if if it's all veggie, you can't even call it a burger. You can call it a veggie puck. You can call it a veggie cylindrical object. But I don't think you're allowed to call it a burger. Look, I'm not a total purist, man. I mean you can if you want to have a turkey burger. I'm okay

with that salmon burger. I'll even make an allowance. Veggie burger is not a burger. It is a veggie patty at best. So Corey Booker did not want to answer questions about Ilhan Omar. That is not surprising at all. None of them, it seems, want to answer questions about this. Why because the hypocrisy is just slap you in the face obvious here. And the Democrat Party is now run

by the wackiest left wing elements Nancy Pelosi. Having the speaker's gabble or not doesn't doesn't change the fact that the people who are currently setting the agenda are wacko leftist idealogues, the ones that are pushing the Green New Deal, the ones that want socialism. That's right, socialism, not some Oh maybe it's just this other Let's not call it so, No,

that's what they want. Let's at least use the terminology that they themselves are increasingly using and not move away from that just because because they tell us too, because they don't want the American people to know what the truth is. But the resolution today, I also like this, they decided to say. So here's how the whole breakdown went.

A Democrat said something anti semitic. A lot of Democrats, not all of them, freaked out about it and said that this is unacceptable, and I agree with them that it's unacceptable. But then the Democrats said, well, we're gonna have a resolution that will condemn anti Semitism. I say, Okay, this won't really do anything, but I guess it's a

good step. But then they have a resolution that condemns all hate, makes a mention of anti Semitism, It makes a lot of mention of anti Islam, and you know, white supremacist stuff and all this different stuff all packed in together. And then when Gohmer and some others, I mean there were some other Republicans won't vote I think there were twenty three of them won't vote for this. We don't like hate resolution, which is just just brainless thing,

the whole thing. Who cares? At this point, do we really need Congress to have a racism it's bad resolution. We know racism is bad, Thanks Congress. Ilhan Omar apparently doesn't know that anti semitism is bad, but we know that racism is bad. But then is so classic Okazio Cortez today was pushing the narrative, the so obviously dishonest narrative that Republicans who would not vote for this won't stand up against anti semitism. It goes full circle. So

you have a Democrats, anti Semitic. Democrats say they're gonna call an anti Semitism, they lose their nerve, they play political games, they call out all kinds of isms, and then the Republicans say this is a joke. They're playing political games. Guess what Republicans are the anti sem anti Semites. Now this is how the Democrats do it. Dude, God, question, this has hit me. Why didn't they do two resolutions?

Why don't they just do one for it announces anti Semitism and then to go do whatever you want that other hate thing. Why does this two the too simplistic? It makes perfect sense to me, you know, But honestly, the real question is why do this at all at this point? And we've all seen the Democrats really right, I mean, I agree that you could go too, but you also could just say this one who really cares?

What is this? What is this gonna? They're not gonna they're not gonna take any action against Ilana More and she's not going to change how she feels. Some people have caught on more. I've been seeing more of this. Like you guys know that what she says is pretty common in the Muslim world overall, pretty commonplace. In fact,

based on a lot of very reputable polling. It's the dominant view in the Muslim world is that Jews have undue control of the United States because of money, because of media, because this is these conspiracies are all over the place in the Muslim world. So I wonder if we'll talk about that next week. We'll have to see. I thought yesterday's vote by the House was disgraceful because it's become the Democrats have become an anti Israel party.

They become an anti Jewish party. And I thought that vote was a disgrace, and so does everybody else if you get an honest answer, if you get an honest answer from politicians, they thought it was a disgrace. The Democrats have become an anti Israel party. They've become an anti Jewish party, and that's true bad. I'm going to Alabama. President Trump is right, they can't defend this. They've got

nothing here. I mean, anyone who is paying attention, being honest about the situation would tell you that the Democrats just look like utter frauds on this whole thing. I mean the resolution that they ended up putting. I read through the whole resolution today. It makes a lot more mention of white supremacists. I would note than it does anything having to do with anti semitism. And that's so

so start with that. And they mentioned Charlottesville specifically in the resolution because that's really the worry the Democrats have when someone's being on the left being an anti Semite. But what is the tried and true mechanism when you have no argument to make in politics, when you're s i'd has gotten caught. What do you go for? Oh, that's right, A little bit of classic what about ism, which is what we got from Samantha power over on CNN.

And I am very uncomfortable with the way she has been singled out here at You know, while we have a president who routinely makes racist comments about African Americans IQs, he has made anti Semitic comments as well, and he has never been condemned. There has never been a resolution by anybody on the Republican side. There was no no resolution condemning him, you know, basically saying, you know, there's

good people on both sides. So why is this woman being singled out in the way that she's being singled out and having the weight of all of Washington come down on her. I will I will just note that Steve King there was a result similar result right ten years later. I mean, come on, Jake, I'm not commit. Kirsten Powers there not Samantha Power. Sorry that although they

probably agree on this, they'd be willing to bet. But that's all you gotta do, just say, well, yeah, maybe this was maybe this was anti semitic, and it comes from a female Democrat, African American Muslim. But Trump is so racist that nothing else matters. That's really what they're saying. Trump is so bad and Trump has done so much in the left's view that is just unforgivable in terms of issues of race and everything else, that that's always the excuse. Now, yeah, I heard this with the North

and black face controversy in Virginia. Well, you know, yeah, he shouldn't have worn the black face the photo and lied about it and then gotten all weird about it. Shouldn't have done that. But Trump is so bad that it doesn't really matter. Nothing that Trump has now for the Left turned into the ever present pathetic excuse for

otherwise inexcusable conduct. And it's just so transparent. You see it happening, You see these playing out time and time again, And that's why I think you're the the what aboutism could not be more clear. They know that what ilhan

Omar said is a problem. They know that she's a thirty seven year old woman and she knows what she's saying, despite you know, Pelosi pretending otherwise on this one, and they know that the best thing that they can do is just say, yeah, well, whatever, whatever, whatever, Trump, whatever, whatever Trump. That's the answer, is Ilhan Omard or is she sorry for this? Or you know she was being

anti submitted? Is that a problem? Whatever? Whatever? Trump? That's what That's what the left comes at you with it. They're just there's no intellectual honesty, no intellectual integrity in this whatsoever. They don't have standards that they enforced. They just have the weaponization of a frame of mind on how people speak about different things that is only used against the right, only used against Republicans, and the double standards is something we're all just supposed to choke on.

I don't know. We got to talk about Manafort though, in the sentence saying almost four years, the left are saying not enough because they're lunatics. That's coming up. How in the world could this judge goes so far below guideline and Paul Manafort got the special clubby Washington elite friendly treatment. Look, the sentencing gap reflects what I call the value gap, and the value gap, Craig is the belief that white people matter more than others, particularly white

people with money. It was they really shocking, astonishing downward departure from the sentencing guidelines. Just an absolutely shocking sentence. Shocking. I find this jaw dropping. To be a rich white man in a miracle, you get a whole different kind of justice. I mean, how can you be a person of color right now and not just be embarrassed for the criminal justices or if his name was Quam or Pedro, he would be going up the river. Actually, it could

be argued that it damaged American democracy. We saw from the very beginning that Judge Ellis did not really seem to have a grasp on Paul Manifort's life of crime. From the very beginning, this judge seemed to have had a heart on for just the mulloprobe overall. From the beginning, he was hostile to this case, and he actually sounded like somebody at a Trump rally from the bench. It's hard to fit that much stupid into one minute. But MSNBC there did it. Everything you heard there is is

wrong and idiotic, every last bit of it. All of it is pathetic. All of it is why people increasingly need to just not listen to these so called analysts that go on TV. They they have no understanding of how the federal criminal justice system actually works. To compare Manafort, they didn't really compare that just as well, you know, because he's rich and white. I mean, people of color must look at this and say, well, that's so unfair. Okay,

which people of color and for what crime? Because nobody who is a first time tax offender, which is what Man of Ford is that you heard someone there say his life of crime, his life of actually not crime, but not paying his taxes adequately for the last ten years or so. They made it sound like he got off with nothing. He's getting an additional sentencing next week, which we'll get to in a moment. They gave this guy four years. Look, I think the judge was right.

I think Judge Ellis, this is what was and you actually last night, I said on radio before they had the sentencing, Prucer Michael, back me up on this one. I said the three to five years is what this guy should get. That's what justice would be. This is what he should get. They take into account things like he's seventy years old. He doesn't have that much time left, you know, on this earth, a twenty year sentence would be effectively a life sentence. They take into account has

he ever committed a crime before? The answers, no, he has no criminal record before this. And four years in federal prison when you're seventy at twenty five million dollars fine, and this coming after he had his home rated like he was Pablo Escobar and spent six months in solitary confinement like he's Hannibal Lecter. I don't think that this is the example that they think it is of how easy it is to be rich and white and tied to Trump in America at all. They have such crappy

judgment on all these idiots on TV. These people are just they're just preening buffoons. They go on and they say that this, oh, this is such such an injustice. Do they really think that twenty years in federal prison would have been that would have been fair? Twenty years for not paying taxes? They said, oh, all these different crimes, the crimes are all variations on how he avoided paying taxes.

That's it. That's it. If he hadn't been working for Trump for free, I might add, because he thought it would up his marketability in the international influenced peddling scene. But if he hadn't been worked for Trump, this guy would still be a very rich guy and you know, going about his business. The message that has been sent is if you were if you are part of Trump world, the left will get you. That's the message. The message is not that there's disparate justice. That people say that

are morons. They don't know anything. I mean, I told you the story yesterday of the individual who shot the shopkeeper in the leg and caused him to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, who got three and a half years for a vicious armed robbery, attempted murder, blowing off some guy's leg, his wife and children running off to him, watching him almost bleed to death in the store that they had put, you know, their whole life savings and everything into to feed the family.

That guy gets three years. There's three and a half to ten I think was the full range. But all has to do his good behavior gets three and a half years, you're gonna tell me that, oh, the justice system is so it's so terrible because of what happens here. Anyone who thinks you should get twenty years for underpaying your taxes doesn't know what the heck they're talking about.

Twenty years for a tax violation, folks. And I also think that the corruption of the liberal soul is particularly on display when they're rooting for a fellow American, a fellow citizen, one of us, whether they like him or hate him, when they're rooting for him to spend the rest of his natural life in prison because he didn't give enough of his earnings to Uncle Sam. There's something very,

very wrong with people who feel that way. And there's something really grotesque about those who, for obvious political reasons, cheer at the destruction of somebody's life Like this, Manaford is not Public Enemy number one, they've tried to make

him into it because they're pathetic, stupid, worthless. Muller probe has been a farce all along, and the closest thing they can get to oh Russia and scheming and you know, hacking and all this other stuff, is to destroy Paul Manafort that that's the closest thing they can get to it. So that's why they're willing to cheer this whole thing on.

But we should be very uncomfortable when our fellow Americans sit around and are rooting for this state to annihilate somebody ruin their life, lock them up for decades for a tax crime against the government. That's all he is really guilty of, your folks, is lying to the government and not giving the government enough of his money, money that he did earn. I might add, people were paying him this money. He did not steal money from anyone.

His only crimes are lying to the government, hiding money from the government, and not giving the government enough of his money. And they really wish that they could, you know, just put him in a torture chamber for the next twenty years, which is basically what solitary confinement is anyway, which they've had him in for six months. This guy had to be wheeled in and a wheelchair. Now, this is the problem with lives. They have no their ideology has no room for mercy, has no room for grace

and compassion and decency. It's all just power, power, power, me, me, me, anyone who stands in my way must be destroyed. And these networks that are just full of idiots these days, like CNN and MSNBC, just just just an overabundance of morons. They go on TV and they give they give more credibility to this narrative among the left that Manafort got got off easy. Here. Let's see what happens next week. This judge Ellis, who I'm sure you've probably heard from

some of the news coverage on this. Ellis was appointed by Reagan, which automatically, in the eyes of a lot of people, means that he's you know, he's considered woo so politicized, right, he's a right wing judge. Guests, who appointed the judge in DC that Manaford's going to have to see next week for a hearing for sentencing here,

Barack Obama. And now why is it that I consit here and tell you that there's an overwhelming likelihood that whatever that judge can do, and the way to do it would be to have him run the sentence back to back, right, so it would be he serves his four years on the charges and the trial that Ellis presided over, and then he'll serve on a conspiracy charge, which is the vague conspiracies usually what the government gets you on when you're not a sympathetic figure and they

can't get you on anything else because conspiracy covers a lot of ground. It's basically, you agree to do something illegal with somebody else, says the government. You don't have to actually do anything. Often requires an affirmative step, but you don't have to go through with the conspiracy. So why is it that I know that the Obama appointed judge next week is going to give a very very harsh under the circumstances judgment, I should say, I know, why is it that I am I am able to

foresee the likelihood of that? Because this is all about the politics. Manafort is Trump. Trump needs to be destroyed, and so if you can take down somebody like Manifort near him, then that's what the left will do. And I would just note that through all this process they haven't talked much about Russia collusion, even though we hear that Manaphort was doing all this work for Ukrainian oligarchs with ties to Russia and all this Russia Russia stuff.

Where's the collusion? Shouldn't man neither Manafort nor Cohen. Not only do they not have collusion to offer up, they have explicitly said, under threat of additional prison time, that there was no collusion. But the media still thinks there was. So his lawyer of ten years that was with him during the campaign and his campaign manager have said, and

they have no reason to lie, there's no collusion. Mueller has to be able to find them engaging in any collusion, despite seizing their records and all the pressure he has been able to use from the prosecutor's office, and yet they still pretend that they're going to find this out. In fact, they want the Congress to look even further into it. Here's what the President himself said about this, and he's right. His lawyer was out of his way

actually to make a statement last night. No collusion with Russia. There was absolutely none. The judge, I mean, for whatever reason, I was very honored by it, also made the statement that this had nothing to do with collusion with Russia. Nothing to do with collusion with Russia. That is a fact. That is a fact. There is nothing about this that has to do with Russia collusion, which is why the Muller probe should end with all due haste as soon as possible. This has been such a waste of energy,

of time, of taxpayer dollars, the whole thing. Notice how you don't hear much about election integrity and security anymore either. They no longer seem to have much interest in Oh what if the Russians with the Facebook pages and the bots and the sock puppets and the you don't even about that anymore. I thought we needed this to protect

our protect our democracy, and protect the sanctity of our elections. No, this was just all about the sanctimony of hating Trump and those who want to pretend that they have some righteous mission in overturning the will of the American people has expressed in the all due and proper twenty sixteen election that Hillary lost, and they still just can't accept it. They won't accept it, they refused. I hope that they can bring this to an end soon. I really do.

And I feel badly for Menaphorda, and any decent person should feel badly for the guys paying back all the money and then some that he didn't pay to the government. He didn't steal from old ladies, he didn't take food out of the mouths of babies. Okay, he's not. He's not running you know, elder fraud scams where people are losing their life savings. He hid money from from the federal government, and the federal government is now crushing him.

But they're crushing him mostly because he's tied to Trump, and that's why you have this. This just hateful, spiteful. Oh he should have gotten even more time. The guy got four years. It's a long time. It sit in federal prison. Grew it back. Yeah, I find the AARP is a well known organization for seniors. Right, we probably heard of it. I've heard of it. But people need to know that the AARP is pretty left wing. Think

of it like the Obama care of senior organizations. Well, if you want the conservative, free market loving alternative, I recommend you try AMAC. Why AMAC, Well, you've got over one point five million of your fellow Americans who've already joined, who are getting great discounts on car insurance, hotels, roadside assistants,

dental plans. But also they know that they're part of a very powerful and growing organization that supports the same kind of conservative future that seniors should have and should want. For this country. That's why you should stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight. Become a member today. The benefits are great, the cause is even greater. Joined right now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's am Ac dot us slash buck. One more time, Amac dot

us slash buck. And they put all their eggs in the Michael Cullen basket and it blew up in their face last week because he came in here and lied again. Now they're gonna now he's what mister Nadlerson eighty one letters to sixty some different individuals. And by the way, I think what's important about that is, remember the two people mister Nader didn't send a letter two, Chris Steele

and Glenn Simpson. Glenn Simpson the guy that Clinton's paid to put together the dossier, and Chris Stoper Steele, the guy who wrote the dossier which was the basis for this whole false investigation that the Democrats have launched. I spoke to Rudy Giuliani today for a bit about what's going on with all these investigations, all these maneuvers, all that stuff, and sure enough he thinks that Michael Cohen should be prosecuted for additional violations of statutes involving perjury,

lying to Congress, lying under oath. He thinks that there should be more charges added into the mix. In fact, he said, and he said this on the show, if there's not charges broad against Michael Cohen, then you have to drop the charges against Flynn, who, as we know, is also hit with a perjury charge for the FBI initially thought was not a lie and might have been

just something misremembered. But they wanted they wanted to get him, as we know, they wanted to They wanted to get General Flynn because he was tied to Trump and on national security, gave him some additional credibility, and was someone that the upper ranks of the Obama era national security apparatus had a problem with. So they wanted to take him out and they did. Unfortunately it was unjust, but

they did. But Cohen, what you see now is how much this is all being stage managed, and the stagecraft that's involved for the Democrat narrative about Russia collusion and just forget Russia collusion, just get Trump, just get Trump. It was madness. And I asked Juliani this today. It was madness for Cohen to sit in front of Congress for those hours and subject himself to what's happened now, it seems would just to lie again under oath for

what he was already going to prison. He could very well have pleaded the Fifth, you know, or taken the fifth you know, take the fifth, you know, whatever. He could have invoked his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self incrimination, not answered any of Congress's questions. Instead we find out is that Adam Schiff spanned ten hours I think they said ten hours, that's all. That's a really long time talking to Cohen in advance of his testimony. This was

just a Democrat hit, that's all it was. They weren't looking, they weren't looking for any answers, they weren't looking to uncover any new information. They were merely trying to figure out, how can we create another news cycle of Trump and Stormy Daniels and the porn star. Find some way to pretend that this is oversight, which is the most abused word now among Democrats. Oversight is something that you would

think it would involve an essential American interest. Instead, what you have here is the Congress asserting its right to stick its thumb in the President's eye and try to embarrass him, and try to embarrass his supporters. Whenever they get a chance to score political points, to score cheap shots, that's where they excel. But Cohen is not a very smart guy. What he did was very dumb. I know

why he did it. I think it's because he wants to live his life as somebody going forward when he gets out of prison in three or four years, whenever it is. He wants the much bigger territory of the left to be a place of some remember the left when it comes to jobs, when it comes to positions and media treatment, that's where all that's where all the

sweet stuff is. You know, if you're just picking from pure self interest in this country, whether you want to be a conservative or a leftist in terms of your career opportunities, in terms of where how the culture will treat you, much easier, much better to just go along and get along with the left. To be a conservative means you have to uphold principles, You have to believe in lines that aren't constantly changing based upon whoever happens to be crossing the line. I mean, it's it's harder

to be a conservative. It's harder to be a conservative, a lot more fun, a lot easier to be a liberal. So I think Cohen was in a sense making his pitch that he wants to be considered one of the good people by the Libs when he comes out of prison, and that's why he did Adam Ship's bidding. I mean, Adam Schiff is as unseemly and dishonest a person in

Congress as you will find. He has been at the absolute forefront of stoking of this insanity about Russia collusion and all this stuff all along, and now he's just going to move on to investigating Trump in every way that he can't however he can, and so is So it was now there. Before I get to the Nadler side of this, though, I just want to note that the issue of a pardon came up with Trump and a pardon for Cohen. Some people still think that that's

going to happen. I can tell you I find that highly, highly unlikely. But here's what the President said about it. Michael Khane lied about the Partons. Was a stone cold lie, and he's lied about a lot of things. But when he lied about the parton that was really a lie, and he knew all about partons. His lawyers said that they went to my lawyers and asked for pardons. And I can go and step above that, but I won't go to bad lawyer. I had a bad lawyer. That happened.

Bad lawyer, no question about that. I also asked rude to ask, said, why has President Trump, why has President Trump not been better equipped, more able to sniff out some of them? They're just they're just losers. I mean, they're bad apples. And Juliani said that, you know, he's made mistakes too about people. And I guess that's as good of an answer. He's not Trump. That's as good

an answer as you can imagine. But to have been around this guy Cohen for ten years, Giuliani said that he thinks that he felt badly that Trump felt a kind of personal loyalty to Cohen, because you know, he liked the idea of lifting this guy up, who's obviously not from a fancy law school, not some big shot corporate lawyer, and elevating him in part of the process, and so there was a sense of personal loyalty that Trump felt to Cohen. I think that's a a credible response.

I think that, you know, I could be convinced of that, but I still can't imagine having somebody as incompetent and unethical as Cohen close to me in the inner circle of the White House. But now there's the question whether they're going to press charges against him because of what he lied about in the Congress and he said he did not want a White House job. He did not want a White House job, and there are plenty of

people that have come out to say he did. And one of those people is Michael Cohen, who said on CNN that he was hoping you get a job in the White House, and so there's tape of it. Now I don't know if he's going to say that he changed his mind. So it's all a question of what the timing is here. You know, I'm not clear on how Cohen is going to defend himself if that comes up.

I don't know what his defense could possibly be. He's on tape saying he wants a White House job, and then he's saying, oh, no, I don't want a White House job. But he's created a lot of trouble for himself, and what a swing. Oh Nadler. I was gonna just say Anawler, They've got more investigations pending, and they're going to know what to do with They're going to just drag this stuff out as much as they can. And I think that Congress, in a sense here is really

borrowing from what the Democrat media's played. The Democrats in Congress are borrowing from the Democrat media plan was around

the dossier. In a weird way, BuzzFeed has actually been helpful to the cause of the Trump administration by publishing that dossier, because it is quite clear that what the CNNs of the world planned to do was use that dossier as a go to source, a little piggy bank of fake but very attention grabbing anti Trump APO and they wanted to just keep it and have it and the media would have known about it, and they'd run stories from it, and then they'd always claim, oh, there's

additional sources if anyone brought up, is this from the dossier that people have been talking about. But because they published that, all of a sudden, people were able to see for themselves how ridiculous this Hillary Clinton into opposition document was. That death by a thousand cut strategy the drip drip, drip effect of anti Trump stories that they had or that they plan to have from the dossier. That is what they are going to do. Now with

these investigations. You're not going to see bombshells because there are no bombs shells. You're not going to see Russian collusion because there is no Russian collusion. But you are just going to see a repetition of talking points that are damaging to Trump or at least paint him or members of his administration in a negative light. And I think they're just hoping to overwhelm people's cognitive systems with just well, I've heard so much about Trump that's bad.

I've heard them say so many things about how Trump is terrible that some of it may be true. They're hoping that for twenty twenty, this will help them. I do. I do still believe that very likely this will backfire on them in twenty twenty, although they'll never admit that if they lose it's going to be because of Chinese collusion. Next time it's going to be something else. They'll have some other excuse. But they're getting very close to what

is truly overreach. I mean, I think they're already passed it. But will the American pop well enough Americans see that for what it is. That's the open question and keep an eye on it. I was just talking to our head of HR at the Hill about how we've got some really important, really key positions open, and I told her, look, I'm gonna help you out here. She said, what do you got from me? Buck? I said, go to zippercruiter dot com. Slash Buck says, oh, that's what we use

I am very pleased that there's an increased awareness about the threat to our planet, uh that we the crisis that we are facing, because I do believe that as we save the planet, we can do so with jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, good paying jobs, keeping us pre eminent in the world in the green technologies. It's a public health issue, clean air, clean mortars, and national security issue. U Green New Deal. Some of the elements of that may be part of

the will certainly be part of the discussion. This is Pelosi more or less admitting to you right there that she no longer can just tell the left wing lunatics in her party in the Congress, okay, you you run in play now and let the adults. Let the adults handle this. She can't just dismiss it as monumentally stupid as the Green New Deal was, as completely ridiculous as the rollout of that with Okazi Cortez and all the different networks. They're like, oh, this is a mission statement

for the government. Pelosi has to at least give some pretense of respect to the Green New Deals underlying principles. And I'm just hoping that everyone remembers going forward, and the voters, particularly in states like Florida and Ohio and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, just how crazy the Democrats are on this issue. The stuff that they say doesn't even make any sense. It's not even clear what they're talking about.

And Pelosi was a great New Deal. It's yeah, it's national security, it's it's so important, clean air, it's clean water, it's you know, making sure that like you know, you, hey, the maid in cash because she doesn't want to have to go to the bank, and you know, wait what you're all right, Nancy, what are you talking about? You know, Nancy's got a lot of maids. By the way, she loves it's very much of the people, as in, she likes the people that show up and do things for

her in her huge estate in San Francisco. But she's she's all about the workingman and woman. Sure thing. Every time I hear someone talking about the Green New Deal, now I think about all the different ways that I want to do deep dives on how stupid this is. And some of you who are longtime listeners to this show. Know that I have I have certain pet peeps. One

of them is I hate whistling. And I know that, and there's actually a medical condition that people and as a medical condition that's a little too strong, like I don't get to have a service, you know, a service ostrich with me because of my medical condition that I hate whistling. Although now that I say that aloud, it does sound pretty badass, but it does. The whistling frequency when people whistle can really irritate some some individuals, some

human beings, ears like mine. I absolutely hate whistling. Another thing that I absolutely hate is recycling. I think recycling is stupid, and I've always felt that way, and it's it's very clear that there's a that a lot of the desire to recycle comes from people's need to feel like they're doing something good because they're a good person. But it won't cost them anything really and it won't be you know, it won't be anything that is difficult

for them to do. And I just appreciate that. Kyle Smith, who's over at National Review, just wrote a piece today cycling is a waste, and he just takes this whole takes this whole thing to task and people have known this for a long time. Recycling maybe maybe for cardboard and I think metal cans, he says here, Yeah, aluminum cans and cardboard. Maybe that's not a terrible idea. Any other form of recycling is completely counterproductive and idiotic in

every way. It is very expensive. It's much more expensive than taking anything to a landfill. And people say, oh, buck, but we are not running out of space for landfills. That is completely false. I think he says in here that you could fit all of the landfill that we currently have on one tenth of one percent of the land that we have for grazing in this country, one

tenth of one percent. So that's just nuts here, Yeah, he says, over the next here we go, all of the ash Americans produced over the next millennium would fit on one tenth of one percent of the land available for grazing. And a lot of rural communities are open for business when it comes to accepting urban rubbish. There was no landfill shortage. Kyle Smith for the win, he is correct. This is another crazy thing. And then you

know they have these stories occasionally of kids. It tends to happen in California, small children who go into school and they don't recycle something and the teacher. I remember being scolded when I was a kid, when I was a kid by a teacher here or there for not recycling something, you know, like that's this is a this is a a mental condition that people have that they really think that they're going to save the planet by recycling their aluminum Can you know the same people though,

who will get all on your case about recycling. I will just note have far fewer problems with littering and trash because that is increasingly now a cultural differentiation, and you will see this between America and other countries and people come here from other countries. We have a different view of littering and trash than much of the rest

of the world. That dealing with trash and litter appropriately meaning just not throwing it on the street and leaving it to be an eyesore and get into groundwater and all that stuff. That's considered a first world problem in a lot of ways, because in crowded areas of the Third world, you'll see the trash cleanup situation is completely beyond the control of the local municipality. So recycling is stupid.

And I don't know if composting, I mean, if you want to do that, if you want to keep smelling old food in a box and then dump it out on your lawn or whatever. I mean, I'm fine with that, I guess, but strikes me as very unnecessary. I mean, Mike,

I do not compost. I can tell you that. No. But the other part of this, with what the Green New deals Zelt's running around talking about all this stuff, you have to remember that if you add in the energy that is required hired to recycle things, and you factor that into this process, I mean the actual recycling process to recycle things and the carbon footprint of that process, you would be better off just taking to the landfill. So if you believe that CO two is endering the world,

you should be opposed to recycling. But they don't want to believe that because it feels so good to take that metal. The worst is when you have the takeout food tray that's like aluminum and it gets like the you know, you get the tostada like kind of stuck in it, and then you gotta wash it because you don't want to put the you know what I'm talking about. It Maybe you don't know what I'm talking about, but I'm just saying I hate recycling. You should hate recycling.

To listen to me on this, people, it's bad. Don't believe all the hype. You're not saving the planet. You shouldn't be fine for this. You shouldn't have to take like a special bag down to your local dump or whatever. This is all. It's all madness. Folks. Left has gone mad. We'll be right back. This campaign is about is not only that we're gonna win the Democratic nomination. It's not only that we're going to defeat Donald Trump. We are going to transform this country and create an economy and

a government that works for all of us. I think that the sport is there. I think the grassroots aren't gonna let the DNC do what they did last time. So I'm confident that we're gonna get to win this time. For one, Hillary's not running, so they can't rig the election this opinion. It's true though, the DNC did ring the election for Hillary. Remember I was over at hillary Headquarters also known as CNN, for the election year, and

it was very clear. One of the most fun things over there was I don't know what they were thinking, but once or twice and they never let it happen. I think it only happened once. Let me sit in because I needed a Republican to pretend that they were actually having something other than a liberal love fest for Hillary. And they brought me on after Hillary and Bernie had a debate, and it was funny because we all would sit there in the brakes were like, at least Bernie's

at least Bernie's authentic, right, you know? I mean, yes, he's like, I'm gonna give everybody ice cream. It doesn't make you fat, there's no sugar taste amazing, you don't pay for it, eat as much as you want, and that's compelling. It's also a fairy tale. But I mean, this is food is gonna keep coming up from the show because I really haven't eaten that it. I'm just very hungry. But you know, Bernie's pitch. If you could believe that, you know, you'd be h He's a rocky

road guy. I can tell I feel like you can pick Today. We got asked we had we went on the table at the Hill about favorite Girl Scout Cookie producer, my favorite Girl Scout Cookie. What is the correct answer not your opinion. What's the correct answer. There's only one correct answer. I like the smella that is the correct answer. I was gonna give you a whole you know, I was gonna code read him John, but I can't because

he got and now you know the answer. And I've already said what I think I could put them away, not by the sleeve, by the box. Some people like thin mints. I'm like, thin mints are a good second choice when you run out of Samoa's. Yeah, it's a good second choice to Samoas Samoas. There we go like a boss Quinn like a boss. Soh Bernie's around. Bernie's running around them. He's saying that they're gonna do more, they're gonna beat Trump and all this stuff, and uh,

you know it's funny to me, is I'm hearing. And I think Howard Schultz said this publicly this week, but I've heard from other sources for a while now that that's that Bernie is for Libs. He is the red line.

Whereas there'll be if Bernie wins, there'll be a third a third party candidate, like like Howard Schultz will get in because he thinks there are some Democrats who do believe that the if the actual nominee for the Deocratic Party is a socialist, it's they can never come back from that, right because because right now the game is always, oh, it's just Bernie. The Democrats are still the Democrats I've

come up against. As I spoke to a Hillary strategist earlier in the week, and that was what he said, Oh, it's just Burnie and maybe Elizabeth Warren a little bit. Alcazio Quartelz is not running for president, so it's not really a socialist party yet, even though the policies are all basically socialist. At this point democratic socialist, which is just a modifier meant to make people feel better about

the fact that they're socialist. But if Bernie wins, then the talking point becomes and it's not just talking about its reality. Sometimes talking points are true that the last Democrat nominee was a socialist, and some Democrats view this as a long term threat to the party because they think the country, even if they want socialist policies, is not yet ready to accept psychologically the embrace of open

socialism in that way. And so there's some Democrats who Schultz being you know, a guy who can read a balance sheet and didn't Honeymoon in the Soviet Union like a total weirdo. Such a weird move, by the way, think about that, dude. No, Honey, not Paris, not Florence, not the Caribbean, not Hawaii, Soviet Union. I think I think miss Molly would take a pass, Mike. I don't think. I think she'd say you can go eat your borsht alone. And there wouldn't be very much of it because the

Soviet Union obviously was not a land of abundance anyway. Oh, I was telling about CNN with with the so we would go into these we go into this debate post debate show, sitting there with all the Anna Navarro Van Jones contingent. It wasn't them, but it was people like them over there, analysts who go on TV. But most of the of the seven or eight people we had of this mega panel you CNN brings out, it's like it's like if they had every Democrat candidate right now

on stage at the same time. That's all of their annals these days. They figure if nobody can say anything smart, just put as many people on stage as possible and hope that they'll say so many things that nobody will remember anything. It's a plan. I don't think it's a good plan. But in the commercial breaks, everybody's saying, Bernie's authentic, Bernie's with the grassroots. But the thing was Hillary's electable, and that was all it took. That was all it took.

So they all knew that Hillary was a horrible candidate. But you see this earlier this week, I was ready, I was ready throwing the towel John. I was ready because I've been saying for a long time that Hillary's Hillary's grand plan is to run in twenty twenty. And I'm not saying that means she will, but that is her plan. And people have been telling me, including former Hillary advisors one or two I know, who are actually

relatively cute and kind of fun. They have told me that there's no chance Hillary's running, absolutely known whatsoever, and they mock me for even bringing up And I'm ken, I'm not saying that that is going to happen. I'm saying Hillary wants it to happen. That's not the same thing. And I earlier this week people said Hillary's out, It's not happening. There was this whole moment, and I was like, no, why am I gonna do because now I can't do

the Hillary, which sounds nothing like her. But so I know, you know that I won the Daily Callers Donald Trump impersonation contest on the spot at Sea Pack. Yes, awesome. They did like a little a little straw pole or something, that's what they told me. I don't know, but they brought it all the different conservatives that they could that walk past the Daily Caller booth at Sea Pack and you had to do with Donald Trump impressure, which I never do on the show because I don't think it's

radio ready. But I was like, it's the Daily Caller. I love these guys. I'll give it a shot. Number one, Donald Trump impressure right here on the spot. It's awesome. It's what radio skills does for you. You You know, should Trump I can't just sit here in like like oh, like you know, put more hairspraying and look more serious at the camera, like you know, you gotta bring the content. Yeah, you should have Trump debate Beta and I'll do it in the same Oh my gosh, like he just wouldn't

even know what hit him. But I don't believe in hitting because that's like such maloggression. But there's that he's running, by the way, Beato's running. Oh wait, my Hillary theory. I was telling you my Hillary theory. So I was willing to back office and say, all right, Buck, maybe on this one your analysis was And then sure enough she gave an interview I think on Wednesday where they said to her, um, you know, would you agree that there's no chance you're running or something like this, and

she's like, well, I wouldn't say there's no chance. It was like wait what she is definitely waiting. I'm gonna ask you one other talking about people waiting. Seagulls that's steal the French fries from you. You know, when you go to one of those places with the seaside and the seagulls like wait there. It's not gonna try to like take them it out of your hand, although I guess maybe something, but it's waiting for you the second you get up. That seagull is gonna come out and

take your French fries. That seagull is Hillary Clinton. Absolutely, it's just waiting for you to step step up and walk away from that table. The Democrats that are in front where were gonna say, though, I was gonna ask your I have one other person who I think it's waiting on the sidelines, waiting to see how it all shakes out and which like Hillary's doing. What do you think about Michelle Obama? I'm gonna get booed by the audience. We're setting this right now. If Michelle Obama ran, I

think she would. I think she would be very tough for Trump to be because the media, the whole, at the whole successful narrative and apparatus of the media before from Obama would be transferred to Michelle Obama plus the whole I'm with her, you know me too, feminism, glass ceiling,

all that stuff. Very tough, very tough for her to But you know, I have heard from people that know her that she's she's happy just being a bajillionaire who gets to do whatever the heck she wants, and like really, they say, she really just doesn't want to do it.

But I would say, Mike, she would be the most from a purely fighting it out with Trump perspective, because she doesn't she wouldn't have to be you know what, idea she could just reper She could steal some of Bernie's ideas and then just be Michelle Obama and the media would oh my god, I think a lot of her more than Obama, which I didn't even that's possible, and she would get in super late. She wouldn't have to go through all this trash talking that's happening now.

She'd wait till all these people beat each other up, and she'd like creep in the last second. And let mean, you know what, the the way that Hillary and this is this could work for Michelle Obama too, although I really I do believe, because I've heard from people that are in the Obama world that are pretty high up and close to the Obama's that she just doesn't have the stomach for it. She doesn't want to do it,

which I can understand because it is nasty. Hillary obviously, though, is like this is the only stomach she has anything for. I mean, this is like all she exists now at this point. To do the way it happens is you go into and again I'm not saying it's going to him, saying it could you go into a brokered convention where there's really no front runner, and then the Hillary apparat's right, the apparatics of Hillary Clinton land make sure that the

whole thing is just a mess. And you know, and so so her people who still think they should have been the you know, White House, this and that and everything else in this administration. You know, they still feel like they got cheated. They show up the Democrat Convention and they do all that, and then Hillary just swoops in and it's like, this is the only way to set the world right. If we want to set the clock back and erase Trump. This I'm the only option.

I'm the consensus candidate. It is just so crazy, Mike that I don't think it's that crazy at all. I don't think it's Oh, people are gonna tell me the little book that's crazy. Corey Booker's gonna run against Trump. Corey Booker. If Trump runs against Cory Booker, Cory Booker is going to cry during a debate. He will actually start crying, I think, and not in a like theatrical way, but I'm like, you're a mean way. Absolutely. Yeah. Trump's will just go over. I told you just before he's

gonna go over. Put a cheeseburger on his pot. Walk away dude. The vegan jokes alone will fish. Trump will show up the first debate of Corey Booker's the nominee, and he will just hand him some tofurky and just say enjoy and that you know, it'll be like little Marco he called. He called Marco Ruby a little Marco and that was that was the end of that. And so those are my theories about where the Democrats are. I tend to be right, but I'm not always right,

but I'm mostly right. We'll see how it shakes out. We'll be right back. Border is going to keep getting worse. I'm not going to spend an hour every night on the border robmously. We have other things to cover here. But the situation is absolutely going to continue to deteriorate. There's no reason to believe it's going to get better anytime soon. In fact, I think you'll see this year will be worse for inadmissible entry into the United States and just illegal entry in the United States than any

year of the Obama administration. And my friends, I'm sorry, there is no way to explain that away. There's nothing. I don't care, you know, we can sit around and try to point fingers or whatever. The fact of the matter is, this is happening on Trump's watch. He needs to get control of the Republicans, and he needs a unified front on this because this is out of control. I saw this today and I thought, there's there's no way that this is really There's no way this could

be true. This is happening now more and more on the immigration issue. You find out what's going on the border, and you see what's happening. You dig into the facts and you think there must be some exaggeration. You're here. Here's a perfect example of that from the Center for Immigration Studies. Todd Benzman tweeted out, US asylum officers are told me that now elective lasic surgery is offered to all female migrants in family detention. Children are given braces,

all at no cost. Then they're catching at least into the interior migrants. According to asylum officers are calling home with news of these incredible benefits and the rush goes on. They're giving people lasic surgery, which costs about ten grand in the actual healthcare market. As I understand it, now, that sounded I think that's about I haven't had it, but I think that's about right. It's expensive. You get

elective lasic surgery done. And braces, I know are there was always a big thing when I was growing up. Oh my gosh, braces are so expensive. They're probably less expensive now, but they're still And remember these are elective cosm I mean, well, braces are an elective cosmetic procedure generally. I know it can be for health reasons, but usually it's a cosmetic procedure. And look, I mean, you know, do I want little kids to have braces? Yeah? I wish.

I wish we could give the whole world, the whole world's little kids braces, But we do have limited resources here. You know, there is a cause and effect to all this. This is not just well, we've got this endless and we're twenty two trillion dollars in debt. I just can't

emphasize this enough. And one of the areas that we're constantly lied to about a legal immigration and what's happening at our southern border is they say that this is helping us financially and economically, and that is just not true. It is not true if bringing in non English speaking, generally less than ninth grade educated Honduran and El Salvadoran and Guatemalan migrants, if that made your country wealthy, then we should just make El Salvador the fifty first state,

right offer them that. I'm sure they'd take it. You know, we provide law enforcement, all the federal benefits that come in with it. They'd probably signed on for that deal. I really much more certain even than Honduras would sign on for that deal. But we recognize at some level this can't this cannot be true. And America is in fact so wealthy because of the American people, because of our culture, our rule of law. It is us that makes this place so wealthy. Yeah, we have a lot

of natural resources, so does Russia. Our economy is ten times the size of Russia something like that. I think they have a between a trillion and two trillion dollar economy and ours is, you know, ten x the Russian economy, and it's because of the American people. So I just thought that was a stunning. I'm hope we're gonna get down to El Paso, guys. I'll get you as much as this as I can. You know what, Mike, we

should have to. Can we have Tom Benzman on because he's obviously doing a lot of research on this from Center for Immigration Studies. I think that people need to know what's really happening here and now it is just a free for all. I mean, this is like Obama Care for the whole world that the southern border and everyone knows and this is a big it's a big scam and it's and it needs to stop. And the other thing that was in the I can't believe the

Democrats are actually doing this, but they are. Category is in this and we'll talk more about this in the next hour. I've just been trying to catch up on this one. But the Democrats in the House, based on this latest procedural or this this latest vote that's not a procedural, this latest legislative vote HR one, the For the People Act, which they say expands voter registration. They also say that they are favorable to illegal immigrants voting

in local elections. They want to defend in this act people allowing illegal aliens. This is the Democrats now as part of this first or no the for the People Act. Rather, they want you to vote for your school board, etc. Etc. Even if you're an illegal. This is if you don't think this is a this is where I was gonna say, first step, a first step toward Democrats pushing for anybody in the country being able to vote, regardless of immigration status.

I'm sorry, you're you're you're missing what's happening here. That's coming. Trust me, Democrats want it and they will start to fight for it. It's a great feeling when you find that twenty dollar bill in your jacket that you haven't worn a while. Right, it's nice found money.

Two premier ABC hosts have their own sorted passed with blackface, while on another network, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel don blackface to mock a former professional athlete, using what many would consider a racist minstrel dialect. Furthermore, the view host Joy Behar recently had a photo emerge in which she was donning black face as well at a party. Mister Iger, with all of the pride, that's quite clear to everyone in this room that the diversity that you place on Disney,

the diversity of the characters in your films. I find it puzzling that the company seems okay with Kimmel and Behar's pasted racist actions and behaviors. Can you comment to us on their use of blackface and are they simply held to a different standard than politicians and newscasters because they're comedians. We don't condone the use of blackface under any circumstances in our world today, and the specific incidents

that you raised, we chose to deal with privately. We did not feel that it required any particular comment, and nor do we have anything to say about what actions we may have taken in that regard. Oh, okay, can I have when I do something that for other people would get them a lot of trouble, I'd like to know if I can get it dealt with privately with no apparent detriment to my career. That sounds nice. That's the special liberal option, though, that's the Jimmy Kimmel Joy

Behar option. Doesn't extend to conservatives. I can assure you of that. Hypocrisy and double standards are essential to the left because they know, first of all, their standards change on this stuff all the time. What is racist? Who is racist? What is sexist? What are you allowed to say? You know? What I found reason was a controversial opinion that I have. By the way, I had no idea that I think, and I don't even have to make this just about women. You could say it's of both sexist.

I think people overwhelmingly look better with their natural hair color. And I've said this to a few female friends, because then a lot of women like to do a lot of things to their hair. I think that people look their best with their net. It goes. There's a reason, right though, the coloring, the eyebrows, the whole thing. And people think that I'm crazy for this, Mike. I don't

know why. I don't know. I'm just this is like a controversial opinion that I apparently have it and in the realm of because today is you know, International Women's Day, And is this a sexist thing? If I say to all the ladies out there, I think the way God made you is the best way when it comes to your hair color overwhelming you not always. I mean, if you were borne with green hair, maybe you want to like get a you know, you want to deal with that.

But overwhelmingly it's the best way. And yet I told a few ladies this and they think that I'm you say, it's a liberal lady. Of course, it's a most sexist thing in the world. Of course it is. Yeah, it's it's it's really amazing, you know. On the one hand, you know, California a perfect example. This Ryan Savedra, who does great work over the Deli wire. He tweeted us out.

Today California revoked the I mean, this is how modern feminism is just completely disjointed, and it ties into this conversation about the hypocrisy and the double standards, and no one knows what's okayty, everyone's just woke, which is an excuse for just you're miserable and you're angry and you want to see other people get in trouble. You don't

even know what the rules are. You just want to see other people, you know, being told they're terrible and you're one of the good people, all right, because you're a liberal and you're woke. But California got rid of a h a ball I don't know what do you call it? A coffee bar, not a bar bar, a coffee bar because the baristas were too scantily clad. And

I saw some photos and yeah, they're they're waved. They got a lot of business because they had very attractive, scantily clad women, and California shut that down because it was upsetting to people because it was sexism. And I just think to myself, Okay, so that the state is supposed to take take action on. You can't have just women being beautiful and selling coffee as a result of

that is that is sexist. That is unacceptable. Meanwhile, California also wanted to make sure that if you give somebody HIV intentionally, you can't get in trouble for that. No need for state action there. I mean, these people are nuts. I mean, this is the real divide now, and maybe this is this is gonna be a It is a recurring theme on the show. I'm just stuff. It's not even so much Democrat versus Republican or conservative versus liberal.

It's really just crazy versus not crazy. Yeah, people that you can you can discuss things with, and people that you can't because they see things through this lens of the the psychological pollution that the left has built up in their minds. They speak in a pollution. They think the world's gonna If you think the world is gonna end in twelve years, you're wrong. I guarantee it. You're wrong. And it's not a smart position that you hold. I

don't care how many scientists you're wrong. But they think that I'm weird, you know, I'm I keep saying I want to get some of that big oil money. I wish that was an okay way to explain why I feel the way I do about this, because I'd be walking around John, I would be slapping my butler with one hundred dollars bills courtesy of Shell Oil if I could. I have no shame about that, because I believe in

fossil fuels. I believe in an advanced economy that has people that have I don't know, heat in the winter and gas for their cars and things like that. So I just I'd slap Jeeves around with all my fossil fuel money if I could. I don't have any, though. I just know the world's not ending in twelve years,

all right. I know I've gotten off on a tangent here and where we started off talking about Jimmy Kimmel and Joy Behar and the way that they But the point is the double standards, and it's not even we don't know what the standards are. It's worse than a double standard, because it'd be one thing if they just said outright. And this goes also to my definition of

true tyranny is not laws that are strictly enforced. It's laws that are capriciously enforced, laws that are enforced ad hoc based on who you are, Oh, I don't know, like whether you're a Democrat or a Republican with regard to the Special Counsel and the DOJ and the FBI in recent years and political investigations that have happened, right,

that's what that feels much more, much more tyrannical. But with the Libs now, you know, Jimmy Kimmel, he faced no punishment for what anyone else having done, even if it was twenty years ago, if you were a conservative, or if you weren't a beloved left wing comedian, because you have to be a left wing to be a

comedian these days and be successful. They will not allow conservative comedians any of the big platforms, any of the stages that they offer up to deeply unfunny lib mouthpieces like Sarah Silverman and others out that what's the other? Who's the other? The female comedian who's just terrible, yes, thank you, the worst, just not funny. If she were funny,

I'd be fine with it. She's not funny. But but they they allow Jimmy Kimmel to get away with this because he's Jimmy Kimmel, just like they allow Ilhan Omar to get away with all this because she's Illana Omar and Enjoy Joy Beha, Hello Buck the New York. Now, maybe we could have coffee and talk and snuggle. I don't know. Buck's kind of killed sometimes he's got those dimples. Kimmy at you. You can sit next to me on the view. Yeah, that's right that you try try to

remove that one from your memory. Team Joy Behar hitting on Buck in real time. You just heard that happen, You know it could it could be. I don't even know she's married. I even know. I have no idea. I'm gad probably right, Probably isn't married A bunch kids who I have no idea. I don't know why she's on TV. Othern she sounds like this and she's very liberal. Where was I? Oh, we got to talk about this big Democrat move in the house that's going nowhere, that's

coming up. Oh Buck, what are you drinking first thing in the morning every day? Wow, that's an easy question because it's the same thing every day.

Throughout my life, I've abided by the mantra we should never make assumptions about who desires to have a stakehold in and a seat at the

table of our democracy. Since the days of abolitionists, suffragists, and civil rights activists. Young people have been pushing the wheels of progress forward. These youth, our young people, who will inherit the nation we design here by virtue of our policies or by default of our policies and authority. These very same young people should also have a say in who represents them. For your consideration, Amendment number one two seven, which would lower the minimum voting age in

federal elections from eighteen to sixteen years of age. Eighteen sixteen, folks, But the Libs are talking about now, that's Aiona Pressley. She's another one of these new members of Congress that's getting a lot of attention at the national level. A lot of people are talking about her and what she's going to do going forward for the Democratic Party. She's part of the left wing of it. But they want

younger kids to vote. I do have to say that this is kind of funding me because we've heard so much from the last couple of years about the need to protect our institutions and the need for our sacred democracy to flourish. Also, let's have kids vote now for those who will say buck because an eighteen year old really know much more than a sixteen year old. I would say, actually, scientifically, the answer is yes, you're more

likely to have your brain be fully formed. There they can show that the minds of teenagers in particular are less able to process long term consequences and that that kicks in further on in your development. This is hashtag science. John's for real, and this is why teenagers are you know, tend to be more impulsive and have less impulse control. So that's a real thing. I would also just point out that, you know, we could do this game all day where it's well, are you an adult at twenty one?

Are you an adult at thirty seven? When you're ilhan Omar and Nancy Pelosi is saying it doesn't really understand the words. That was bad Nancy that I know Nancy was trying to help there, but she didn't help. Are you an adult at thirty seven? You know? Are you're adult at fifty or you're adult at ten eighteen? Is

the line we draw for a lot of things. And it's just instructive about where the Democratic Party is going that they're they're not seeking to deal even with the population in America that is a voting age as it is, they're looking to import foreigners and to take kids and let them vote. That's the plan to changee who can vote, instead of focusing on the debate such as it is in front of the voting age population. So I don't think this is going to go anywhere. But that doesn't

I could be wrong. They could decide that this is something they're really going to get into. And they also see all of the all the numbers on how young people there's a particular, a particularly strong advantage that the left has, the far left has among what do we call what are younger than millennials now? Right? I mean, if you're born post two thousand, you're not a millennial, right, You're a You're a tadpole? What are you? What do we call you? Is this? There's got to be some

kind of a cool name, is it? Z? Generation Z? I mean I could take that. I don't know. Regardless, if you are of that age, chances are you're very liberal or very likely. And this is where I love it when I get people listen to show who are college age and like Buck, but some of us are still conservative. I'm like, thank god for you guys and gals.

Otherwise we'd really be in trouble, I know, I know they're out there, but there's still this numerical advantage to the left when it comes to people who are of a certain you know, under the under the age of thirty, in particular under I think millennials now are the largest, the largest cohort in the United States. I think there's more millennials than boomers now, and I think that millennials

have a particularly high skew toward the left. Anyway, They're trying to change the game here, folks, no surprise, trying to see if they can get sixteen year olds to vote.

And this just reminds me of that still surreal conversation with the activist, the national level activist who from the Sunshine or Sunrise Sunshine, I think Sunshine or I forget, Who's training kids to go and walk into the offices of members of Congress to tell them what they should do about climate change and other incredibly complicated political policy issues right that? And I was like, should ten year

olds vote? She wasn't sure about that one. I should have said, John, should five year old be able to vote? Because I still think she would have done the I don't know. Yeah, so we'd have like Google Gaga, like pulling levers and stuff like walking in four or five years old. But Libs love this stuff. They also like to play the game where they'll say, yeah, like, I'm just so upset about the latest thing that Trump said. Because my seven year old liberal journalists with blue checks

do this all the time. It's ever knows. It's now become a big joke. It's its own meme factory. But my seven year old came in and was like, why is it that, like the Trump administration just completing the gates sis gender politics and the self actualization of all of the oppression theory that I'm being taught by watching MSNBC every night. But Buck, they're sentient beings. They are sentient. That's true, Mike. They maybe seven, but they're sentient beings.

Look for Libs, it's just all you know, can you get all the sheep man bleeding and going in the same direction? And then, unfortunately this country if you listen to the far left, it's not gonna be sheep. We're all gonna be lemings because we're all gonna go off the cliff together. I'd rather that not happen. I would prefer that that not be the direction of the country. But unfortunately, I can't necessarily tell you for sure that

that's not where we're going anymore. I mean Thomas Soul's words there are particularly haunting that he's not he's not sure that we're not going to collapse because of socialism. He can't he can't make Thomas Soul is a very smart guy. He's like, I can't make you any promises we may be going that way. What is this voting Mike, what's this voting rights bill? With Pelosi and McCarthy. I don't even see this one. This one just came up

on the radar here. Yeah, it's something that they're talking about. The set to him, it's it's gonna be da when it gets to the center floor. But they had an interesting back and forth today this afternoon. All right, let's play it. Let's let everyone hear it. So the Senate, as you receive this bill, you will also be receiving the aspirations, the mobilizations, the persistence, the relentlessness of the American people to have government work for them, for the people.

So this is a fight we're engaged in. I do not believe this bill is going to go anywhere. But the really sad part about this. This is the definition of the Democratic New Party that this is their number one bill, This is their most important bill because they chose what number to give it. We chose to give taxpayers make sure they get able to keep more of their own money. They chose to take more of the taxpayer money and give it to themselves as politicians. Ah no,

now I know we're talking about here. I was like, wait a second, what is this. Oh? This is the Democrat's nonsense anti corruption voting rights bill that their path. This are the New York Times that are about the the House pass the Democrats showcase who anti corruption voting rights legislations dead in the Senate. So this is all just for show. An expansive measure that aims to dismantle barriers to the ballot box, end big money in politics,

and impose stricter ethics rules on federal officials. The legislation passed two thirty four to one ninety three in the House. It makes good in the campaign pledge to clean up Washington that helped catapult Democrats in the majority. Isn't this, Mike, This is a fantastic example of how the New York Times does New York Times stuff. Just the passage of this legislation that will never be a law and that will do nothing. Quote makes good on the campaign pledge.

Does all they have to do. That's all they gotta do. I mean, would you ever see Republicans pass a bill in the House that does not be doesn't even make it, doesn't even get a vote in the Senate, is dead on arrival in the Senate, does not become law, does not get signed by the president. That's making good on a campaign promise because they've cleaned it up. No, they've done a show vote to show bote. That means nothing.

I don't think that cleans up anything. Man. You know, it's like when I've cooked and the dishes are all over because I cook. I cook. I'm a messy, messy cook. Because like when I'm in the zone right whatever needs to happen, you know, there's gonna be some kitchen casualties. Like there's gonna be some glasses again, maybe knocked over as grease everywhere. I mean, it looks like it looks like there was a there was a fight going on. And I look at it and I'm like, maybe if I,

like watch my show or hang out. I come back in an hour to the kitchen. It's gonna be better. False. It is still a mess and this is this is that's that's how they've made good on their campaign promise. Yeah, DEM's won a messy man. They can't keep it clean because if it's if it gets cleaned up, you start seeing them for what they really are. Well, I love it,

o'casio Cortez. Miss I just I just want to get like all the money out of politics, except for your like multi millionaire chief of staff boyfriend guy who is hiding millions of dollars in this shell game, which maybe legal. But even people that are totally in the tank for Rokazi Grtez are calling this a creative structure to a evade scrutiny. Exactly, dude, exactly. She thinks she's the boss. All Right, we're gonna get into some roll call action.

Everybody stay with me, Hey, team Buck, It's time for roll call God for the role call everybody here in New York City. Very exciting, John. I heard from at least two very disturbed people screaming outside of Penn Station today, so I knew that I was home. They were yelling and cursing about something. I don't know if they were in a fight or if they just were happy to see each other or something. They were there were something going on, and I was like, this is home, this

is New York. Now, now we're here. I almost got hit by a delivery guy on a bicycle when I was trying to get into my taxi. Again, that's when you know you reached the promised Land. All right? Uh, Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want to have your thoughts read aloud so people can hear them. Coast to Ghosts, which is oh so fun. And it was awesome, by the way, that the name of a from what I understand, very excellent radio show also on

this network later on tonight. So that's fun. Um. All right, now we have Julio up first. Buck, this may cost a few officers some disciplinary action for stopping for food thanks to a sanctuary sanctuary Liberal city and the stories about a panic in a New York City high school when immigration officials hold on what is this one? Immigration

agents on the sidewalk but they just wanted lunch. Oh so people freaked out because as they saw immigration officials from ice and they thought they must be coming to do bad things, because Ice is supposed to be so scary and mean and evil. But they were actually just getting a sandwich. Just getting a sandwich, folks. That's enough or the Libs to freak out when you have somebody who shows up and seems like they work for Immigrations

and Customs enforcement. Oh my, Tom, all right buck. If I were Christopher Ray, I would have the local Office of Minneapolis investigating the Democrat Farmers Labor Party. So far they provided us with Keith Allison, Amy Klobuchar, and ilhan Omar. All the hype about socialism and communism is primarily directed at California, Illinois, and New York. Maybe the media should be looking at Minnesota as a possible home camp for radical Muslims and socialists. Just a thought, Thomas, You know

Minnesota is more liberal than I would have guessed. It turns out Minnesota's pretty liberal. They put al Frank in a office apparently he wasn't good enough and smart enough, and gosh darn it, they didn't like him enough though, because he got tossed. Then they had Minnesota's pretty progressive. I feel like it's probably even more blue than Wisconsin. Right. In the last election, Minnesota went straight up blue. Wisconsin obviously was Trump victory from victory states. So that's very fun.

Good things to know. Casey, Hey Buck, There's something I just don't understand that I'd really like you to break down. You said the Dems will impeach forty five and what I want to know is, how can this be possible? And wouldn't that have to get past the Supreme Court? And because of that, wouldn't it be considered unconstitutional? Once again, I did not fully understand, so I'm not accurnist. Please shed some light. Thanks Casey from the Marine Corps Shields Eye. Well, Casey,

first off, thanks for your service or appreciate it. As to whether the Democrats can impeach, No, the Democrats absolutely can impeach the president. That's a pretty straight forward process. There's there's a procedure in the House Representatives and they have majority vote majority votes. If they all stand together on this, which I'm sure they will, they won't go forward with it otherwise, and they will impeach the president. Removal is the part of it that is a much

higher bar. That's where you need two thirds of the Senate. With the president to be removed from office. And unless it turns out that that Trump is in fact a speaking Russian in the wee hours of the morning to his handler who is transmitting things to Vladimir back in Moscow, then there's no reasonable person, I think, who would tell you that the president is in any danger being removed

from office. So impeachment is kind of like a big, glorified version of what we just saw with Ilhan Omar this week, which is impeachment just then turns into a vote of disapproval. You know, it's a it's a resolution that does not actually have any teeth to it. And so that's what happened to Bill Clinton. By the way, Senna did not remove him from office. As you know, Bill Clinton finished his eight years in office, much to the chagrin of many people have thought that he should

have been gone. Nicholas rides Buck, keep doing what you're doing. You are a voice of sanity and reason in the wasteland of social media, and your show is a daily dose of assurance. There's some folks out there in the media that do care about the truth. Thank you for emerging, I try to emerge. Appreciate that and giving us all another voice a reason in the slot that was formerly occupied by a rhino. Megan's a friend. You are saving our sanity, sir, Well Nicholas meant thank you so much

for right again. Thanks for joining team Buck and for listening to the show. And it means a lot grace. Race here you are. I just made the Oh guys, when you send me links, Okay, here we go. Thank you for getting to my question the other night. I've tried calling in an emailing with no success over the years, So commandeer my wife's Facebook account. And that was the answer. I heard. You voiced the question David Harsani last night that puzzled me for years. Why are American Jews so

predisposed of politics that counter Judeo Christian values. Found the answer to this question in a history podcast recommended by Jocko Willink about the history of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict. Martyr made by Daryl Martyr made by Daryl Cooper. The series is Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem. Huh, I have no idea what this is. Cooper does a great job of following a proven Stalin model of Dan's

Carlin's hardcore history. The only way he comes up short as he fails to cite his material is frequently is Carlin. One of the fifty plus books he draws from is A Century of Ambivalence the Jews of Russia and the Soviet Union eighteen eighty one two present. The podcast is for I'll hear some links from Garrett Martyr martyrmaid dot com. Is this society's talking about? I've never heard of this, seen this, Mike Ebert, I don't. I don't know what

that is, but sounds interesting. Thanks for educating me on the subject. Appreciate it very much. I haven't listened to Does Dan Carlin still do any Has he done any new podcasts recently? Problem with podcast these days is that everybody has a podcast, including people that really really shouldn't have a podcast. The problem podcasting is anking people are like, hello, welcome to my podcast, where we're going to talk about the best way to take your law and mulch and

distribute it evenly across your front lot. Now, look, we got free speech. Anybody can do a podcast whatever they want. But now you've got everybody, including news anchors who are used to just reading off a problems like I'm just gonna read whatever's there. Now, I'm going to do a podcast. But guys, guess what, it's harder when you don't just read. I do both of these things. I read from prompters that I also talk for three hours. Talks for three hours.

Try that sometime. You don't have that one, you know, come on, you gotta have that one ready, you gotta have that one read. I'm begging for a drop there. John got nothing for me, all right? David Wrights buck Shieldside Podcast, let's speaking a podcast podcast listener catching up on episodes. The best ice cream flavor is cookies and cream, and country music is the new rock check out Brothers Osborne, Luke Comb's driest Rucker from Hoodie and the Blowfish. And

Aaron Lewis the guy from Stain. Yeah he's country now, I didn't know that. I know Aaron Lewis went to Stain. Also, Thomas soul is probably right, but we know how liberty will die with thunderous applause A lot a lot here. By the way, Cookies and cream, let me just say, is delicious, but I can't eat it because the cookies have gluten in them. I've yet to find gluten free cookies. And cream ice cream. I might have to make my

my my own at some point. Probably wouldn't be hard, right, Cookie dough vanilla ice cream is not all it is. Do they really infuse the cookie dough flavor into the ice cream or is it just cookie dough chunks in vanilla ice cream? Think think on that one, Mike, this is a john. I don't know if you have an opinion, but that's a that's a that's a real thing that we should all be aware of. I would also just point out that I still stand behind pistachio is the

best flavor. But I will tell you that when I when I have an excuse to have any kind of natilla ice cream, which I remember in Italy doing that a lot, I will go and the tel on anything. Though. I will eat the soul of my sweaty little moccasin if it's covered in attela, as any person would, because it's the most delicious thing ever made. You need to get on that Nia pottent ice cream. That's really is it good? It's outstanding. You get after it, It's smother it.

Natela in there, you guess probably I'm very hungry, brother. Right now, As soon as you finished the show. I'm running over and stuffing my face with things. Oh what else do we have in this one that I wanted to get? Oh? Yeah, So I was at the Trump with some friends. The Trump which is how people refer to the Trump International Hotel in DC. It's where all the conservatives hang out. It's pretty amazing. Actually, there's two

places where you can find a congregation of conservatives. Yeah, Capitol Hill obviously, but they're mixed in with all the Libs and the Democrats. If you just want a place where you're going to be surrounded with most likely friendlies, there's at this point the White House, Trump International Hotel. I know Libs Mike who won't even go there. They don't get when there's a reception there or there's any kind of a party, they won't go there. The Trump International.

I ordered the French fries. It's a little late. We've been at a party. The Daily Caller had an event for freshman members of Congress and all I wanted for French fries. And sure enough, I take my first bite of a French fry there and taste very good. But I realized that bit into I was like, oh my gosh, they you look at it. They flower their French fries there and the waiter, the waiter, the server pardon me, came over and I said, hey, do you guys. Do

you guys flower your French fries? And he said, I'm ninety percent sure we do not flower our French fries. And I looked at I said, well, I have to pay attention to this because I have steeiac disease, So could you just ask the kitchen And sure enough, he comes back after saying he's ninety percent sure that they don't, He's like, yes, these French fries are all dredged in flour before they are deep fried. And I was like, I had a feeling. But you know, what's why this

is important, producer Mike. The reason they do that is because the fries stick together because they're brought in from the outside. So whenever you find a restaurant important safety tip that has French fries that are flowered beforehand, it's very likely that's because they're being brought in pre made from the outside because they're too lazy to hand cut their own darned fries. Mike, I'm surprised the Trumpster doesn't

have them dusted in gold there. I totally agree with you, and John obviously love that so that that is true, but it was disappointing to me. Man, French fries are not hard. If you've got a deep fryer, take some potatoes, cut them up is ridiculous. Gave me a little bit of a tom tom ache. All right, we're gonna get in a more roll call on a second. Stay with me, Irene. Every time I say or hear that name, I think of black hawk down when they say code word Irene,

that's like the go thing. And then also remember limo is a word in common usage. Remember that. Yeah, Irene write so enjoying you here in Eastern Tennessee. Thank you for keeping us up a day well, Irene, thank you so much for writing in. I hope you really enjoy the show, get something out of it every time you listen to it. We certainly put our heart and soul into it every day here in the Freedom Hunt. So thank you so much for being a part of it

and welcome, and we were honored to have you. Valerie. I was hoping for a list of books. The Matt Coyle series I'm reading, albeit entertaining, may not make me well read oh, okay, So this is in response, I wrote back to Valerie, I should include that. Valerie wrote, you frequently referred to being well read. What do you believe would make one well read? And I responded, reading a lot as a way of life is being well read? I mean, I don't think that there's such a thing.

There's so much out there in terms of books in the English language alone, never mind if you start adding in all the different great works that can be translated or have been translated into English. But when I say someone is well read, it really is just the habit of the habit of reading. Is somebody in the habit of reading as a major part of their life. It's a really important thing. I think it's among the most, probably the most important academic skill that kids and as

they grow up into adulthood, can have. Do they enjoy the process of reading? Do they think that it's worth their time? Do they make time to read? It's essential, It's absolutely so. When I say well read, it's not oh, have you read the have you read all of the essays by Ernest Hemingway circle, blah blah blah. No, it's not that I know people will say it that way. When I say some is well read, I really mean have they read a lot because they're in the habit

of always reading. That's my definition of what a well read person is, and it can be, you know, on any number of subjects. People usually have areas of greater interest or expertise. But are you a person who reads a lot? Do you like to borrow somebody else's mind through the reading of the words that they have written. It's a very very good thing, Ashley Rights. Austin is cool. It's a very funky, unique city. She must be one

of our KLBJ folks. However, if you do make it to Austin during your El Paso trip, consider traveling an hour or two outside the city. We're nice folks, and it's wildflower season. Though I doubt you will because I recognize and appreciate your constant hustle. I've listened to you for a long time and I love to follow your success. Though I really missed your random history lessons. They were my favorite Shieldsai ash in Leek County, texas well as

the first of all. Thank you so much for your note, and I really do want to get to Austin soon. That's not that's not just lip service and ask for the history lessons. I want to bring them back. I just ever since I took the job at the Hill, there's just been I've had no time whatsoever to pull together to do that. So that's why it's been a little bit of a It has been a challenge, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to do it and will not possibly bring it back in the future.

And I'm really glad you enjoyed them. And the good news about them is you know they're worth listening to. The older ones are worth listening to, even if you haven't gotten them before. Steve, if we can send people into take out Bin Laden in a foreign country because he killed three thousand people, why can't we send people into countries to take out cartel leaders who killed tens

of thousands. Great show, by the way, thank you for it, Steve. Well, Steve, I can answer this question for you a think in a way that might surprise you, but it's it's important, and that is that the history of taking down cartel leadership, whether it is the Jlisco Nuevo Generation cartel, the Sinelo Cartel, the Zetas who are at a splinter faction of the Gulf Cartel, the bertrand Levia Cartel, all these different cartels, the history of them tells us that when the leadership

gets taken out, there's often an increase in violence and no decrease or noticeable decrease in the drug trade because the leadership structure that's in place does have some There's still a lot of violence in Mexico at the cartels, but there's some ability to govern that violence in the underworld. And once you have somebody like a Chapo Guzman gone, that's a perfect example. He was the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, the most powerful drug lord in the world.

He's now sitting in a US federal penitentiary for the rest of his life. And guess what. Mexico last year had its most violent year in or maybe the year before in history. The violence is out of control. So taking out leadership, whether it's been Lauden or El Chapo, it's satisfying to people, but it does not always have

the intended effect.
