Have We Forgotten Democrat Misrule?

This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American? Ready, great, You're a great American? Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. Analyst, he's a great guy. No, I think I'm the hood. These job numbers were very powerful, consumer confidence, absolute blowout. We've seen a little softness in production, variable goods and cap spending. That happens along a cycle. You know, you go up and down. As a rule

of thumb, back of the envelope. Real GDP equals productivity plus employment growth. That gets you to over three percent right now. So if we remove some of the monetary obstacles and we continue our incentives with low tax rates and rollback of regulations and cheap and planetful energy. I'm going to play this on the bullish side. We're not

forecasting or expecting a recession. Incoming data for the United States suggest that the most likely outcome outlook for the United States economy is still moderate growth, a strong labor market, and inflation continuing to move back up. The labor market continues to strengthen, so the consumers in good shape. And really there's our main expectation is not at all that there'll be a recession. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show.

Everybody there. You have an overview what's going on the economy, which is to most people, when they talk about politics, they really care about how politics are affecting their pocketbooks, their ability to pay their bills, the sense they have of optimism for the future based on sending kids to school and paying the mortgage, buying food, car payments. All that's going really well. As Trump put it just a few hours ago in a tweet, the economy is great.

The only thing adding to uncertainty is the fake news. I love it when he calls them the fake news because they deserve it, and the President won't back down from it despite how enraged it makes them and the President is right, in my opinion, to continue to hold their feet to the fire and call it like he sees it. But now let's just dig in for a moment. I have a concern. This is really just me sharing with all of you my worries for twenty twenty and for the way that this is all going to shake out.

I know it's very early in the game. It's not even not even twelve months. It's now thirteen months out, or in a part of me, fourteen months out. But

we are already seeing the formation of core narratives. And one thing that I can't get rid of is, at least in my mind right now, maybe the American people have forgotten what it's like when you have an administration and a presidency that doesn't know what it's doing with the economy, that is trying to convince you that things aren't going to get much better in the future, and deal with it. Sorry, forget about all your hopes and dreams for a more prosperous future for your children and

for yourself. As you move on in years, you're just going to have to accept that America is going to get less wealthy. Things aren't going to be as good and that's just the way it is. Because I remember

that during the Obama years. I remember people feeling like, oh my gosh, is this really the way it's going to be Economically, we're supposed to just accept being told, being really scolded about how Yeah, you know, America's polluted so much, we put all this CEO two in the air, and we've exploited other countries and done all these bad things. So if we need a little bit of tough medicine right now, that's on us. That was a sense. It was widespread, I remember, especially in the first four years

of Obama's presidency. And now there's a part of me that is worried that things are too good and there'll be a negative effect of that. That because unemployments three point seven percent, because the job market, the playing field for entrepreneurs, all the just manufacturing, I mean, all these different areas. The only one that folks will point to and say, oh, well, that's bad it's trade with China. Because things are so good. I think that we forgot.

I think that too many Americans have forgotten what it's like when they're bad. And so Trump's success becomes in a way a liability because yeah, I guess this is just supposed to be the way it is all the time. Right, We're always going to be at sub for unemployment. We're always going to have a stock market that keeps defying the expectations of a crash, that keeps defying the Oh gosh, the recessions coming talk a recession that's going to be a lot of pain for a lot of millions of Americans.

People lose their homes, as their jobs, as their savings. It hasn't happened yet, and maybe it's not going to happen for quite some time. Maybe when it does happen, it won't be that bad. But there are good ways to run an economy. There are bad ways to run an economy. There are good ways to do things, and then there are ways that are going to make you poor or more frustrated, have less freedom, promote less growth.

But to really understand that, maybe we maybe we've lost sight of what it's like when things are going badly. And I know that. See it's it's a paradoxical concern, but I feel it these days. Here's another version of it. Why do so many young people, young people, I mean, I kind of still qualify great beard millennial that I am.

Why do so many young people have a growing affection for socialism and with it, for for central planning, for interference in markets, and why is there this cultural It's it's really a fad now, it's it's considered cool, it's hip to reject capitalism among millennials. You know that the polls are all saying that, you know, they're sixty percent in favor of socialism over capitalism, and you know, fifty five percent in favor of it. It's there's a clear

trajectory here. Why is that the case? Well, because I think that they don't know, they have not seen, they have not connected themselves to the history of what it meant for places like the Soviet Union, what it is meant for. They just dismiss Venezuela. They dismissed these other countries where the economy has just been going down the tubes for a long time. And they also have lived

in what is a generally very prosperous America. There was there was the two thousand and eight procession, but especially for people who are young, I guess gen z is what I think they call it now. They weren't looking for jobs then they have gotten out and things have been on a pretty solid trajectory for for a while. And you might say, oh, Buck, you mean like with Obama, Well, yeah, things were okay after a couple of years of the Obama A ministration. Didn't seem like it was gonna be great,

but it wasn't Socialist in Venezuela bad. Some of the same ideas were proliferating under the Obama administration, but it wasn't. You know, it'll and this I'll return this later with we're gonna talk about what Deblasio is doing here in New York City, a place I know very well. If I had as much familiarity with Los Angeles or San Francisco, those are places that are point that where we point to show that these are they're bad ideas. And I think they've gotten a little bit too, you know, soft

and happy in those places. A lot of wealth, a lot of accumulation of wealth. Over time, overall national crime drop, and so they started to embrace increasingly radical left policies. And now you've got you know, the poop and the dirty needles all over the streets in San Francisco and in LA and you're seeing more of that stuff happen in New York, and maybe it's because the people in these cities have lost a connection to what it means

when things go badly. I worry, worry that there aren't enough people right now who understand how quickly what we are experiencing right now with a government that is absolutely imperfect,

no question about it. I mean, this is a White House that still needs to deliver on a lot of things, but on the foundational capitalism is good level, they get it, they understand, and they're trying to work within that framework of Capitalism is good has lifted more people out of poverty in the laste hundred years than had been lifted

out of poverty and all of human history beforehand. We should celebrate what capitalism has been able to do for this country, and we should try to promote what works so we get used to what we see now and all, Okay, Well things are good, and I guess it'll always be good. No. I mean, if you get a President Sanders, for example, things are going to turn very quickly. If you get a President Biden, it won't be good, but I don't think it'll be quite as much of an immediate a

catastrophe as a as a president Sanders would be. But when people forget what the bad times are like, sometimes they the only way is as a big dose a reality for to bring them back in line. And so in that sense, the Trump administration's numbers the you know, if you had told me that this is where Trump would be going into the third year of his presidency, are now going into the soon be going into the

fourth year. But in the third year of his presidency, I would tell you, well, wow, there must be If you'd said this in twenty sixteen, I say, there must be some converts to Trumps. Them must be people that no. Now it's just the new normal, and they focus on all these externalities. Oh what did Trump lie about? That doesn't matter to anyone. We'll talk about one of those

examples later. You know, what is the latest thing that they can drill down on, get very deep in the weeds on, and pretend is a much bigger issue than it is. Oh did the president pull a White House reporters press in a hard pass and makes that person show their ID and get a pass like everybody else who goes to the White House, Like when I went to the White House. That's what we had to do. Huh? Is that what happens sometimes? My friends? You just get

a little too used to things being good. And I do think that the country is going through something like that right now, because when I see polls that have Joe Biden and other Democrats ahead of Donald Trump, I just look. I just look at the sky and think, how could people be so foolish? Do they forget what it was like to have a left wing administration that was as hostile as it could get away with being.

That's not the same thing as saying that they're straight up commies, but that was hostile to private enterprise, to commercial, economic and really individual freedom in so many ways. And it's the only way that we can understand what that would really mean. To go through it again, I hope not, But those who don't know their history, or don't remember history, whatever the specifics of the phrase, are doomed to repeat it. I hope we don't have to repeat a far left

administration for eight years. But given what I'm seeing, and you have this disconnect of very strong numbers, the country doing well. We're not in the midst of some huge war. I was just telling some friends today over lunch when was the last time we had a mass casualty. I mean, you know, Heaven forbid, but the mass casualty gee hottest attack in America or in Europe for example. You can't think of it off the top of your head. It's been a long time. That used to be a monthly occurrence.

We are not in the midst of I understand there's there's the mass shooting problem, but we're not in the midst of a global terrorist operation directed against us as we were for many years. We aren't. We aren't seeing a recession, we aren't seeing people lose their jobs. There's so much to be thankful for, and I think that, unfortunately, there is a creeping in gratitude in we you see with with many Americans. I don't think with people listen

to this show. I don't think of people that are supporters of the president by and large, But a lot of folks are just like, yeah, well, I guess things are good, but you know, maybe we should just vote for somebody who doesn't do the tweets. No, I think maybe vote for somebody who does the tweets and like

them or don't like them. That's fine, but make sure that the person who's in charge, who has the most power of any individual in the United States government continues to do the things that are benefiting tens of millions of Americans every day, hundreds of millions of Americans, whether whether they like it or not. Prosperity is not forever, it's not endless, and it can it can evaporate very quickly.

And the fact that the polls don't show this president well over fifty percent in support, I just find troubling. I blame the people that are being polled. I don't I can't really blame the administration. What else is he supposed to do? What would be or we're gonna have GDP growth, you know, eight twelve percent or twelve percent, We're going to do what China does and lie about it, lie about at our own people to justify the regime

that's in place. I don't think so. This is also why we need to prepare ourselves for not really a discussion of the economic merits of why there should be a change in leadership in this country, but it's going to be personality and culture based. Trump is such a bad guy. He's so terrible, he's such a racist. The country is better than this, you'll hear all of this stuff when I don't need people telling me the country is better than this. I just want the country to

continue to do well. That's my focus. That's what I would like to see. And I don't know if what it's going to take for some of those independent and winnable voters to understand that after that climate change debacle from yesterday, how could you think that putting a Democrat in charge of more of the economy is a good idea or anything in the economy, but but even more than what you have right now with the Republican because they would want to seize control via this Green New Deal. Nonsense.

How could anyone think that's a good idea? And yet there are so many of them. It's troubling. You know, we live in we live in overall very happy times in this country right now, and I start to feel this this ominous sense that the only it's either going to be shattered in one fell swoop or we're just going to hand it away because not enough people understand that this is precious and it's fragile and it needs to be defended. That's that's what I know. It's not

exactly cheery Friday talk. But I worry about this man. I think that we've just become We've become a little spoiled in the last three years to have a government that is trying not to even out the playing field all the time and play the social justice game and all this other stuff and redistribute the wealth and sees more control. Government that, while imperfect, is trying to say, look, let the American people, let the business of the American

people be business. Let them do what they need to do, stand out of the way as much as possible, fight where is necessary. You know. The trade deal, I think is an important area for us to understand there's a trade off being made there because the Chinese have been ripping us off and doing bad stuff for a long time. But yeah, the alternative is what Joe Biden may your pete. I was gonna say, Kirsten Jilli Brambon, too bad, she's gone, she's out. We'll be right back. It's a solid number.

It's not a spectacular number, by the way. Seasonally, the August print usually comes in low and then is revised higher. But here is the story. Five hundred and ninety thousand new jobs and the household survey that is virtually unprecedented. Average geral earnings twelve month changes three point two percent, and an explosion in new labor for its entrance. The wage rate for the last three months at an annual

rate is four point two percent. So I'm just going to say this, America is working, America is getting paid well, America is spending and saving and producing. So I think this is a dynamite report. But God, look under the hood, any analysts don't. That's when I'm talking about folks. Larry Cudlow saying it. Things are really good, and people aren't

even paying attention. Instead, we have a media focus on sharpie gates where you had the president using a sharpie marker to try and show that the path of the hurricane might have included Alabama in it. That we're still even talking about this seems to me to just be ridiculous. The President doesn't admit mistakes. We know that. He says he didn't make a mistake. They say he did. Okay,

it wasn't malicious. So and it's weather. It's uncertain who really know, But they just they're digging in on this because every day that there or every hour that is spent covering this nonsense. Is an hour that people aren't turning on the TV, flipping open their computer or looking at their phone and finding out that, oh, you mean that Trump was a far better steward of the economy than they said he would be, and that things are actually going quite well and people have more money in

their paycheck, more money in the bank. Oh yeah, all those things that really matter. We'll talk about more that matters what we do every day here on the show, and we're gonna get into that in the moment. Stay We are going to take the storm out in the open Atlantic, and eventually it will head towards Nova Scotia, likely as a Category one hurricane, and just enough of this storm is going to clip southern portions of New England.

Cape cod is under a tropical storm warning. You will get some rain and gusty wins, but I don't exact. We're not gonna have a lot of damage from that Nika. It would just be kind of a minor inconvenience. So the storm for the US Dorian has been what we'd say, probably underachieving, and now we can try to focus all our attentions on the recovery efforts down there in the Bahamas. Very saddening to see what's happened in the Bahamas Um.

There's some really gut wrenching video footage and photos you can see on all the major on all the major news sites, you have bodies of human beings that are still on the streets. They're expecting that the the death toll will be staggeringly high. At what that exactly roughly mean or what that roughly means who I can't tell you, But there's there's definitely a sense that there's a lot of there was a lot of death on the island as a result of this storm, and here we are

now in the aftermath of another a natural disaster. And you would think that in a healthy there's always going to be disagreement, right, There's always going to be descent,

and that's people would point out that's healthy. We need the exchange of ideas, but in a healthier political climate, this situation in the Bahamas and also different parts of the US that have been hit hard, although we haven't seen anything along the lines of the devastation we've seen in the Bahamas, there would be a sense that we need to come together and tackle this together, that we should work with each other to handle this problem instead

of trying to point fingers at each other and decide that this is the result of well, there's a few ways that fingers will be pointed at. First, no matter what President Trump does, no matter what he does, I can guarantee you the Democrat narrative here is going to be that Trump didn't do enough because he doesn't care about the Bahamas, because he doesn't care about a place that is majority non white. That's going to be the narrative, guaranteed.

That's what they're gonna say. There's a lot of Americans Bahamas, a lot of people the Mohammas. I mean, it's unfair to Trump, it's unfair to our political discourse to put a smear like that out there. But that's what we're gonna be told. That's going to be the real story from the left. And it doesn't matter what he does. I mean, the President can say where to give the Bahamas one hundred billion dollars and they would say, well, now he's just trying to cover up how racist he is.

Now he's just trying to throw us off the trail of his white nationalism or something. He can't win. He can't win. We know this. So that's the one level will be the the hurricane relief efforts. Just give it time. Liberals are going to be saying it's insufficient, he's not doing enough. All that, okay, And then you have the other part of this duo, which is what got us to this point in the last last forty eight hours,

and I was doing the seven seven hour climate change thing. Unfortunately, you have to keep in mind the liberals who believe in the climate change catastrophe myth see this devastation, and all it does is harden their resolve that we must take these dramatic steps, We must do these things in order to save the planet, and anyone who doesn't go along with them is a bad person who does not want to prevent the next major storm like this from happening.

And you can see, can't you see this connection with Oh, this is what libs do after a natural disaster like this. They find a way to use it as a political mobilization technique. Can they argue around around it in that way? That's one thing that they do. They also do this after a mass shooting. They'll say, oh, well, you either do the things that we tell you have to be done now after this tragedy, or you don't care about

the tragedy and therefore you're a bad person. This is a common tactic and it is it's corrosive that the left embraces this so openly, so repeatedly. It is corrosive for all political discussions because one they get locked into this lazy mentality on the left of oh, we're just the good people, they're the bad people. There's really nothing

here to discuss. It shuts down on our side because we realize, why engage when you're just gonna be told you don't care about the devastation, you don't care about the dead children after a mass shooting, which is just not true. It's just a smear, and it's a stupid one at that. But the exploitation of the grief that we are seeing, the loss that we're seeing down the Bahamas with this week of CNN and other places, but CNN led the group here with their seven hour down hall.

It's just stunning. It's stunning how willing they are, how willing the Democrats are to use this to leverage this loss and this pain for a political narrative that as I keep pointing out to you, doesn't even have an upside. There's some areas where the left can be wrong and we say, okay, that's a bad idea, but at least there's some good that will come of it. Nothing good comes from the Green New Deal, nothing, nothing good comes from tackling the problem of climate change is not an upside.

I mean, you could try to tell me that moving around money to green energy deals or jobs or something is, But that's just the government appropriating private property and giving it to favored constituents. Man, I don't think that's a good thing. That's not really productive. That's the government inflicting itself on us, and I think harming productivity and harming our wealth. But you know, the exploitation of tragedy is a just like identity politics are a Democrat pastime and dominant.

I'm not saying that we don't have some versions of identity politics and political tribalism on the right. We don't really do the we don't do racial identity politics. But there's I'm sure people can make arguments that we think very much in terms of just our team versus any other team, right, the right versus versus the left, and that's all that matters. But the willingness to exploit tragedy on the left is particularly troubling, and it is a distinction.

It's a way that they separate themselves from us. We just don't do this. We don't see something bad happened somewhere and say, ah, what is my favorite political cause to tie this to? You know, we say, when something that happens that's really terrible, is there anything we can do to help? And wow, we feel badly, thoughts and prayers. That's a normal reaction to this is who you'd be

apologizing to. Someone who violated FBI in DJ policy, violated the terms of his employment agreement, div always the existence of an investigation, which is a big no no, transmitted classified information, and then when the FBI came to his house after he was fired, had amnesia. That's the person. Oh no, by the way, this is not the first time Jim Komey was dinged by the Inspector General. Remember

he was dinged in the Clinton investigation. Because Komy plays by his own subtle rules, so he's zero for two, and the two major investigations he had in twenty sixteen violated almost everything you can think of accept a criminal statute, and that's the guy that wants you to apologize to him. Kobe is amazing in that sense that he still believes that he is just fantastic. He still believes he's the most incredible guy, and he did everything the way that

somebody in his position should have done it. He's he has apologized for absolutely nothing. And I will just say that I've been telling you all along, guys, even when the information comes out, even when we have the inspector General report, don't expect, don't expect anybody who was anti Trump to be putting cuffs. It's just not going to happen.

Just like you know, there's there's always this institutional bias toward the institutionalists, the people that first and foremost put the the agency or the bureau of the bureaucracy ahead of any other considerations. And Comy is certainly one of them. Although I think that Comy puts himself before everything. But he's now he's gonna be a wealthy guy. He's already wealthy,

but he's gonna keep making a lot of money. The Resistance will treat him very well because what we found out, and it's pretty astonishing that this is where we've come to as a country. What we have found out is that James Comey I think because there were two possibilities.

One of the possibilities was that he really believed that Trump was a Russian asset and that he was doing the country a necessary service, a necessary favor by trying to save us from a Trump presidency, because there was real evidence that the Russians had had turned him and he was working the Russians. Or there's just a possibility that he thought that Comy thought he'd be a hero because the establishment hates Trump so much and so they were just going to remove him from office by a

bureaucratic coup. I think it's the latter. I really don't think that Comy, but I don't think it's possible for Comy to have believed this stuff. I think Brennan maybe was a believer. I think Brennan might have been somebody who convinced himself that Donald Trump was a Russian asset and that all this was real and that the fears here were well founded. I mean, I think that that's

very possible because Brennan's just a whacko. But I think Comy more likely was somebody who came along and said, you know what, Brennan has already started this narrative, this theory over its CIA, so why don't we just run with this. This gives me a perfect opportunity to at a minimum, create leverage against the President the United States, and more to the point of going beyond that, to put him in a position where he was able to

perhaps remove him from office. So this was going after the president, I think, even in I think going after him in bad faith, not just going after him in error, which would have been a more charitable reading of what Coomi did here. And yet I'm here to tell you I don't I don't think that McCabe is going to get prosecuted, which is just uh, that's as clear a case as you can find of senior FBI guys. They don't have to live by the same law as they

want the rest of us to live. But senior FBI guys don't have to suffer the consequence as the way a normal everyday American would. And that's just where it is. That's what I think is really I think it's really going on here. We're going to continue to see this play out we'll get more information. I think about the from the Inspector General is also the DOJ investigation that Barr has appointed someone I think, you look, Barr is

fantastic in the role. But Barr didn't recommend charges against Comy and he's not going to recommend charges against any of these government officials because I think that there's still a considerable there's still a belief inside these very powerful government agencies that they need to not allow the political targeting of the previous administration or its people or supporters to be a thing. And I'd be all for that, except that's exactly what we have with the Russia collusion nonsense.

We had, we had Obama administration people, and this, this is this keeps happening where our side, the conservatives, the right, say well, we can't go down that road because that would make things, you know, more difficult, that will make things more challenging. You know. The other side does these things, and then we say, oh, wait, hold on a second, even though they've done it, we don't want to create this, you know, this Pandora's box effect. We don't want to

you know, well, the box has already been opened. They already weaponized the federal apparatus, the federal bureaucracy for political purposes against an administration. But now we go and we say to ourselves, oh, well, we don't want this to get worse, so we're gonna let bygones be bygones. Here. We're gonna pretend that it never really happened the way that you know, we've been told, or the way that we figured out that it happened. I mean, that's really

what's going on here. That's really the way that they're they're pushing this, and it's just it's very frustrating because we're not going to get justice. We're not going to be told the truth about what's well, we're gonna told the truth, but we're not going to ever see anybody really punish for it, which is deeply frustrating. By the way, one other area where we're not going to get justice is I really would like us to stop hearing this lie.

It's a lie that never seems to go away. But it's that and liberals say this all that I hear liberals continuously saying this. They keep saying that Stacey Abrams really won the Georgia governatorial race. She did not win. There's no evidence that she won, but Beto keeps perpetuating this among many others running around saying that she won the Georgia gubernatorial race. Here is Beto O'Rourke. We have

functionally disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of our fellow Americans. But for what you've just described, Stacey Abrams would be the governor of the state of Georgia right now. Based on your race and your ethnicity African American, Mexican American, to be specific. You were drawn out of a congressional district to diminish the power of your vote or the likelihood

that your voice would ever be heard. So the answer to this has to be a new voting rights Act that takes away every single barrier that no longer allows us to jerrymander based on race or ethnicity, or party persuasion or anything. Well, how do you get rid of jerrymandering, betto When congressional districts are randomly drawn in the first place, who's gonna who's gonna determine what's jerry mander and what's not. The Supreme Court just looked at this, they said, sorry,

this is the way it goes. States get to determine what their congressional districts are. We leave it to the states. That's the way this is gonna go. Letna be some special commission. Oh, you mean like central planning. A bunch of people that are making decisions that they're far away from they don't really understand. But their word is law. That's a bad idea. That's a bad idea. The new Voting Rights Act that Betto says he wants. He doesn't even know what would be in it. But more to

the point, here's another case where they aren't lying. They are lying about something. The media is not challenging Betto for saying this, and this is under my This is doing exactly what they accuse us of doing. We've never we don't do it. They do it. They say, we don't. We're not going to believe the results of an election. They said, oh, Trump's not going to accept the results of an election. Well, Hillary didn't accept the results of the election. Libs have never accepted the results of that

twenty sixteen election. And on top of that, here you have another lie about another important election that got national level attention, and they just don't stop lying about it. That the reasons Daisy Aram's loss is because of racism and disenfranchises. It's just not true. Have you seen a single Lib journalist push any of the Democratic candidates who say this, which many, if not all of them do for facts, No, of course not. They just always they're propagandists, folks.

The overseas projects he's trying to defund have some pretty serious foreign policy consequences. Exactly is it a done deal or do you think this is something that still might

be blocked. We have to stop it. There's absolutely no choice about having to fight back on this, and this is going to be one big, big battle, not only because of the effect as you so correctly pointed out on our relationships, trying to push back on Putin making sure that he doesn't have the opportunity to overrun Estonia, Lafia, and Lithuania, which you could do in three short days if we were not there, if those countries were not part of NATO. Beyond that, this is a fundamental issue

of the constitution. The very democracy of America is at stake here. No amount of overstatement is too much for the Libs. When it comes to President Trump. We know that we just you know, he's he's Hitler. He's the worst president ever. He's crazy, he's you know, he's a racist, he's a rapist, all these things. We know. There's nothing that they will he's a traitor. Of course, there's nothing that they won't say. They won't say about this president.

We've been shown that many times over. But now they're saying that the border wall building is a constitute, is a constitutional crisis. Okay, well, let's look a little bit at what they're what they're so objecting to. I mean, we've already had the debate over border wall, and the

Libs were wrong about this. A border wall would be helpful at reducing illegal crossings, which, by the way, it would also be helpful at allowing border patrol to do one of their primary jobs, which is drug and narcotics interdiction, which would stem the flow of illegal opioids into this country, including heroin and which which are killing tens of thousands of Americans, which any normal person should be much more concerned about than they're concerned about climate change. But Libs

aren't normal. They've lost it. So now they're trying to find a process argument against the President of the United States building the wall with d D funds, and i'll this is from the Wall Street Uh no, sorry, this from the New York Times of Corse. I was like Wall Street drill, no, no, no, no new school at Fort Campbell. The money went to Trump's border wall. Here's

what they're telling you. For almost two decades, families at Fort Campbell, the sprawling army base along the Kentucky Tennessee border, I've borne the brunt of the country's war efforts as a steady clip of troops with one hundred first Airborne Division and from special operations units deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. This week, the families discovered that they would not get the new middle school they were expecting so that President

Trump could build his border wall. The school is on the list of one hundred and twenty seven projects nearly every facet of American military life that will be shifted to or suspended to shift three point six billion dollars to the wall. Here's the Let me look at this list of projects for your for a second. All right, So there are things on here that a no doubt would be would be good to do. But you see, we don't have endless funds. We don't have endless resources.

This could have been done very easily if Democrats weren't just for political reasons, completely intransigent, and not just intransigent, but actually actively opposed to border security. I mean they are. They are against border security, and that's why they won't allow any funny for that. I mean, three billion dollars in terms of our federal federal budget for a worthwhile project is nothing the drop in the bucket. They're so

worried about three billion dollars. I mean I mentioned Cylindrity yesterday, which had hundreds of millions of dollars, and that was just one private solar boondoggle, hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer guarantee for the Cylinder project, you know, And that's just one random project that was a company that never that was politically connected and never should have gotten the money that. But anyway, three billion dollars for a

wall a wall is really important. So while the New York Times and others are looking at this and saying, oh my gosh, you know, there's a military basis not going to get the new middle school that it was waiting for. I mean, look, I'm not trying to say that it wouldn't be nicer than I have a middle school.

Middle school, they should. But if it's between Fort Campbell getting a new middle school and preventing a few tons of opioids from getting into the country because one sector of the border is finally able to be secured because of the wall, well, these are the decisions that we make in government all the time, and these are decisions that are being made in the executive branch. And I think the presidents well in his rights to do it.

I think that these process objections to how this is such a and there are even some conservatives who make this, oh, he can't do this, he can't declare a state of emergency over this. Well, if he can, and he is.

So the objection to it on process grounds, I think is large just about whining, because to object to it on substantive grounds is to say that one just doesn't at the end of the day, one just does not want and does not believe in having a wall on the border because it would help secure the border, and they don't want that to happen. They prefer the status quo, which is the continuation of infiltration into this country of

illegal aliens. That's what's really happening here. And you know, Mark Morgan of Immigration and Custom Enforcement, he said that there's there's a reason to do this and that he supports the president. One of the things they need to effectively do their job is more wall, and the President is delivering. I have full confidence and the Secretary of Defense that he is not going to take money that's going to impact his ability to safeguard the Nazi security

this country. This wall is part of a Nasi security crisis we have right now Neil on this southwest border. So Mark Morgan here is essentially saying the President's right

on the substance. But more than that, imagine if the Democrats were opposed to a lawfully declared war, and their their version of how they were going to oppose it was would be to say, Okay, well, we can't stop this war because there's a there's a resolution for it, and it's a lawful war, but we're just going to tell the troops that they can't have you know, the

we're gonna cut their ammunition in half. Would the President of the United States in that circumstance be justified and saying actually, we're going to take d D funds and make sure that our troops have plenty of ammunition for the war. Well, now take that to border patrol. Border patrol is a legitimate and lawful mission. They need barriers

to help them carry out that mission. That Democrats disapprove of that legitimate and lawful mission does not mean that they get to just play spoiler on it and prevent an important federal agency from doing a job that it is absolutely supposed to do, is valid for it to do. And as I've been telling you, there's a few different layers that go into this opposition. One is that they know that Trump following through on this promise is a huge problem for the Democrats in twenty twenty because we

can play back. It's not just Trump saying build the wall, and there will be new wall that's built, and then he'll be able to say we are building the wall, and no one could fact check him and say, oh, no, we're not, and all this other stuff. But also think about all the people who were absolutely certain, and there are a lot of them Democrats and some so called conservatives. I don't know how conservative they were. You know, if you're a conservative and you're voting for Democrats in the

twenty twenty election. You're not a conservative, you're a fake, you're a phony. I mean, we can just we should just say that, there's no reason to hold back on that. But the people that were saying there would never be there would just never be a wall, how are they going to look when Trump gets this done? How was they gonna look for them when all of a sudden, Oh yeah, it turns out there is a wall. The

wall is getting built. The political residence that this is going to have in twenty twenty is going to be very meaningful. And so Democrats will stop at nothing here, and I do either you're going to have legal challenges. They may go they may go to the mat on this in ways that I can't even really foresee it. I don't know, I don't even know what that would be. But they've got to prevent in their mind, they've got to prevent Trump from from building that wall, because if

he builds it, it's a campaign promise to fill. They'll look foolish. And I think Trump will be unstoppable going in the twenty twenty election. With three point seven percent unemployment today, mean things are good, things are good, and the wall is going to help. But the borders already getting to be more secure. It's still in bad shape, but it's getting better under Trump's watch. So he's trying

to deliver folks. Let it continue to play out. You're out of the administration, now, are you still taking heat when you go out to eat? Uh? Sometimes? You know, it usually depends on where I am in the country. Um at home back home in Arkansas. Things have so far been pretty easy and very welcoming about here in New York City. It's it's hit or miss. What I always find interesting is ninety nine percent of the people that come over to say something negative and to attack

you or women. And I find that very startling from a you know, group of people that claim to be the champions of women empowerment. I'm only the third woman and the first mom to ever be the White House Press Secretary, and yet women attack me relentlessly instead of you know, being proud that we have more women doing

uh those time you ever say that. A few things that work here, as Sarah Huckaby Sanders is talking about the way that she has treated now that she is out of the administration, of a few things that are going on. One is that unfortunately the Libs, and this is the shorter conversation, I think. But the Libs once again manage to even though they've lost, and that Trump is president, and Sarah Sanders has become a household name and did a very respectable job in that role of

White House Press secretary. There's a message that has been sent here, and the message is, if you work for a Republican administration, if you work for specifically the Trump administration, you're a fair game. People are going to come after you. They're going to be mean to you, they're going to try and hurt your career. They're going to go they're going to try to make an effort to make your life more difficult. That's that's what they planted. That's what

they're going to do. And that has an effect. It has an effect on who's willing to go work for an administration, has an effect on what kind of people are willing to put themselves in that reputation with that reputational risk in play. And so that's that's already something you have to keep in mind is that this this doesn't happen. This didn't happen to any Obama administration officials. It just didn't. They weren't worried about going to restaurants

in any city, but the more interested. But you are, you already know that, right, But this is what they do. I mean libs, they can't help themselves. They've become they've really become radicalized leftist. It's to be a radicalized leftist now is a much more. It's just very it's mainstream. It's really not radical. I mean, it's radical from our perspective, but it's not rare. Usually you think of radicals as outliers,

but that's not always the case. Sometimes the radicals are in charge, and right now with the left the way that it is the Democrat Party, this country is run by the more radical elements of it. But then there's the component of this discussion that Sarah Hugaby Sanders brings up where she's talking about women and how it's women who go up tour, which I have to say is

not is not surprising to me. And this is a reminder of a very common difference I see between the way that liberal women often Right, we're speaking in generalities here, so this is never going to be perfect, but how liberal women often act and the way more conservative women act in public and what I mean here is that the liberal women have been told that their perspective as leftists is the only acceptable perspective for a woman to have. This is this is an extension of the identity politics

that so dominates the left. Liberal women have been told that their version of being a their version of the world as women, is the only one that is acceptable for a woman to have. And so when they come across a woman who does not hold there but it does not share their beliefs, is not involved in their their worldview, they feel entirely justified in being very nasty

that person because she's betraying her gender. That's where this really, that's where this really comes to ahead they're betraying they viewed Sarah Huckebee Sanders as a gender the liberal women as a gender betrayer. I just don't come across conservative women who feel the same need. I mean, I could say this, I do not know anybody personally who would I would expect to go up to a female member of the Obama administrator, the former Obama administration and say

anything nasty to them. And I would be very embarrassed if anyone that I considered a friend or an associate did that, I'd be embarrassed by it. Even if I had nothing to do with it would still be an embarrassment. Liberals they don't mind this stuff. They don't mind getting shrill and nasty and attacking. And this is why someone like Sarah Huckabee Sanders now has to always be paying attention to this. I mean, think about what that would be like for the rest of your life. You're in

a restaurant, at least for the next few years. You're in a restaurant and someone could come up to You're just trying to have a nice time, enjoy a meal with your your husband or your wife and your kids, and someone's maybe going to come along and say something really nasty to you. And I just want to ask them, what exactly is Sarah Huckabe's crime? A you worked for President Trump. A lot of people work for President Trump

and President Trump up to this point in time. If you look at what had gone on, what had happened in the first three years of the Obama administration versus what's happened in the first three years of the Trump administration. Trump is just objectively doing a better job as president. I think he's just better at this job. He doesn't do it in a way that liberals and the elites think he should. His tone is wrong for them, his approach is wrong for them. That's all. Yeah, I get that,

you know, that's all going on. But the fact of the matter is that by all the metrics that where you can gauge this, Trump is actually doing quite well. And that doesn't matter to the liberals the leftists who want to go and attack Sarah Huckabee Sanders and try to ridicule her in public and make her feel small, as though she's a bad person. This should be repudiated

that the left does not share this broadly speaking. And I'll tell you I've spoken to even people in the media who are Democrats, and they'll say, you know, sorry, if you work for Trump, you know you get you get what you deserve. Sorry, you know, I don't really want to hear it. You know, if you work for Trump, this is kind of the this is kind of the way it's gonna be. They don't they're not appalled by this. They weren't appalled by it when we went through that phase.

What was it about a year ago where you had people being chased out of restaurants who were conservative. You know, hat Sara Hugaby Sanders, you had Kristen Nielsen. Obviously they showed up at Tucker Crowston's house. He doesn't work for the administration, but he's considered pro Trump, and that can be enough. And I'll just say to you right now, I am in the town that I was born and raised in where I know, I know this place very

very well. And I also know that if I walked around any neighborhood in Manhattan with a Maga hat on, there is a very high likelihood that somebody would that people would sneer at me, curse at me. Somebody might even stop and try to tell me off, you know, try to have some words with me for wearing a hat that has the slogan associated with the president, the sitting president the United States, that tells you something, this is this is different. You wouldn't you haven't had this

in the past. You you would have been able, I think, to walk around with a Bush a Bush Cheney t shirt on in the early two thousands and people wouldn't have liked it. I'm not saying that they wouldn't have been on your team with it, but they probably wouldn't have thrown rotten tomatoes at you. Now you better get ready to duck, because they're going to come after you, because nastiness has been mainstreamed on the left. As Sarah Huckabee Sanders has found out many times yourself, I don't

love what he's doing for this city, and it worries me. Listen, I'm a Christian. I love everyone, and I love him, but I don't love what he's doing for this city, and it worries me. When I moved here, everyone said you cleaned up Times Square. I don't want it to go back to that. How do you feel about Mayor de Blasio in the direction of this great city breaks my heart, and I worked tirelessly to do that. There were times I didn't think I couldn't do it. A lot of my friends told me I couldn't do it.

A lot of my friends told me I was crazy to run from Mayor. I should run from Governor. Bill de Blasio is the mayor of New York City. He log I think it was single digits for total time working at city Hall for the month of August. The guy is considered incredibly lazy and just something of a

political waste roll. I mean, the guy just doesn't doesn't really do anything other than run for president incredibly unsuccessfully and also do a little bit of social justice bowing here and there, trying to get people different constituencies to think that he's on their side, you know. But de Blasio, he's as a complete buffoon. As I've said, only mayor of New York City, the biggest city in the United States, Only the mayor of the city where I'm doing the

show right now. Really because Anthony Weiner couldn't bring himself to stop sending Wiener photos to people, including to a girl who was who was under age, and you know, now he got obviously, he got sent to prison for that. So there were some very particular and peculiar, peculiar circumstances that led to this. And the truth is Deblasio never should have been the mayor of anything. I mean, Deblasio shouldn't be the mayor of a city with eight thousand people,

never mind eight million people. But it's also a reminder about how, you know, leftists, they never learn their lessons about cities. You show me a city that is run by far left liberals, and I'll show you a city that is in decline now. In the case of New York, it got so safe, it was so cleaned up, and

there was such a concentration of wealth here. New York City became a real estate haven where people from all over the world would basically dump their money into very high end real estate here where it would be safe and also would appreciate. It was a great investment if you could afford to spend ten million dollars on an apartment in New York City, Believe it or not, there's a lot of those. You know, there's some states where the most expensive house in the whole state, I think

is like three four million bucks. In New York City there are ten million. There are buildings full of nothing but ten million dollars apartments pretty much. There's some apartments here that go upwards of one hundred million dollars. So there's a tremendous amount of wealth concentration here. And because of that, and because of the turnaround in crime from the Giuliani era, you have accumulated a lot of And look, Bloomberg did a pretty good job running the city too.

I think that people need to give credit where it's due on that. Bloomberg is terrible on guns. He's a big nanny state guy. He's like, now more using straws, no more big sodas you know Bloomberg is that's a little bit of an exaggerated Bloomberg accent, but you get the idea. Kind of sounds like that. You know, Daniel Bloomberg obla Espanol. I'll never forget what he would he would kick into his version of Spanish sometimes during the

you know, hobless p piquito Espanol, Bloomberg, bloombergo. But he did a good job. The problem you run into with liberals is that they ruin things in stages, and because it can take time for a place to be ruined, no lib is ever really held responsible, and in fact, they will always claim that they're ideologically motivated decisions had nothing to do with it. You see this in San Francisco, you see this in Los Angeles. You're seeing this now

in New York City. It's never that changing, the dynamic between city hall and the police force, deciding that cops are are going to be political pawns who sometimes get fed the lions. Thinking that that living, being able to live on the streets is a is some basic human right that you can be a vagrant, that you can live on the sidewalks, pitch a tent, you know, relieve yourself in public, do do whatever you gotta do. Liberals

are supportive of this. It is it is surprising at some level, you would think that they would much rather create larger shelter and and and even mental health support systems for people that are that are homeless. But liberals have taken this position of it's a it's a right. You have a fundamental right to live as a homeless person on the streets of whatever major American city you want, including all of the issues that come up as a result of that with crime and sanitation, and just also

bring it. Look, let's be honest, bring down property values. I mean, who wants to live across the street from a tent city? Who wants to live across the street from people who are living on the street. This is a problem in New York. I can tell you that I was in Times Square ever early in the morning on my way to a Fox hit last weekend, and had a very It was early, so we're in the morning that I don't even remember it all that well, but I was approached and accosted. And I'm from here.

I mean I grew up here, and I'm I know some of you would be surprised, but I'm not a small not a small dude. I'm six feet tall and two hundred pounds. And a guy came over and was very aggressive, demanding money, not asking politely excuse me, Sarah, could I you know, he was very aggressive. He was demanding that I gave him money, and I, believe it or not, kind of kind of barked at him, like, not actually bark but kind of, you know, said bleep off, buddy,

And uh but I hadn't seen. You know, there's there's an aggression on the streets now. There's a sense of lawlessness. And I know it because I lived it before in the nineties when I was growing up here, and it's coming back. And the problem is that, you know, de Blasio is going to point to, oh, the crime rate is still super low. It's still at least a homicide

rate is very low. I do not believe that the overall crime rate, if you include nuisance crimes and quality of life crimes, I do not believe it that continues to go down. I think that that is almost certainly, but that's very hard to gauge. A lot of that is anecdotal. That's why someone like the Blasio will have his number crunchers play games with that to make it

seem like it's not that bad. But this is one of the issues we have is that we can tell that we can tell someone what they're doing is wrong. You can tell a Democrat, you can tell a lib you know, you're ruining the school system, you're ruining the city, you're ruining the economy, whatever it may be, and they will, over the course of the stages of that ruination find scapegoats, find some way to blame somebody else and avoid accountability

for it. I mean, I can tell you that it will take a while, but New York does feel like it is It is very much on a downward slope in terms of quality of life, cleanliness, crime, and de Blasio. By the time we figure out that there has been this shift and crime in a major city is also is a very complicated sociological phenomenon. It's there's a lot

that goes into it. By the time we figure out that New York has started to really have in the wrong direction, to Blasio will pretty much be gone, and he'll be saying that, oh, look at how good, look at how good it was when I was in office. This next person ruined it. And that's that's how you never managed to get anyone to admit that they were wrong. There's always a way to blame somebody else, you know.

Libs can and it takes time to ruin something. Libs have a long fuse sometimes on destroying a city, destroying a neighborhood, whatever it may be. And you know Deblasio is doing it here to my hometown. I'm telling you I can see it. The President actually sent out a tweet he made fun of me for talking about climate change in the middle of a blizzard, and he called me snow woman. So I wrote back, Hey, Donald Trump, the science is on my side and I'd like to

see how your hair would fare in a blizzard. So I wrote back, Donald Trump, the science is on my side, and I'd like to see how your hair would fare in a blizzard. Sometimes, if you haven't noticed, you use a little humor, like when he called me snow woman at my announcement in the middle of that thing, I wrote back on Twitter, I'd like to see how your hair would fare in a blizzard. So I wrote back, Hey, Donald Trump. So I wrote back, Hey Donald Trump. So

I wrote back, I wrote back, I tweeted back. So I've got a joke for you. It's Amy Klobaschar here. So I wrote to Donald Trump, I'd like to see how your hair would fare in a oh Man Amy klobshard, Democrat candidate. She has a joke. She's got one joke apparently, and she likes to tell that joke a lot. Now, there's a a bigger message that I have for you than just making fun of Amy Klobaschar who does manage to make Lary Clinton see more personally appealing by comparison?

You know, Amy Klobisher is right in that same that same level of wow. I can't believe people vote for this person and want to spend time around her as a politician, or believe that she understands their needs and connects with them on a personal level. I don't know,

just connect with anybody in a personal level. But this is a and it's it's a continuing theme here on the show that our sense of the elites is eroding, not because of an undo cynicism and not because we are failing to cherish our most important institutions, and all this other other stuff you hear from the elites and their lackeys nombre. There are a lot of people that want to do the bidding of the elites in our society. Never want to speak the truth to you because they

want to feed from the trough too. They want to get in on the action. But the familiarity that we have, people say that familiarity breeds contempt of the familiarity we have with our political ruling class, because of social media, because of the twenty four hour news cycle we have, and just the general connectedness that we all have. You know, I can do a search on Amy Klobischer and see a lot of things that she said, and read a lot of things that either she's written or things that

have been said about her. I can do that very easily and then find myself drawing a conclusion about her competence, her ability. This is a new thing in human history. You've got to remember maybe back in the day when somebody was running for running for president. Let's just even say in this country, I mean, if you're running for president in this country in the eighteen twenties, no one really is going to see you who's casting votes. I mean, maybe they'll see you at one speech. They don't know

what you're like in person. They don't know what you really think. And they can't pull up immediately at the touch of a button every bill you've ever supported as a let's say, a state centator. They can't bring up every gaff you've ever made. What we're dealing with as a society is far more information, far more information about candidates, about the people that are in charge, and as we learn more about them, we're less likely to defer to them.

In essence, someone like Amy Klobashar, Why the heck am I going to listen to her about anything? What does Amy Klobashar no that I don't know? You know, what is she really able to to bring to this? I don't know. I think that's a very fair question. And it's also true about Joe Biden, whom I've got to tell you, and I've been speaking to some sources about this recently who have been in the political game a very long time and don't like to get down into

the into the mud. But what everyone keeps saying the same thing about Biden, who knows him who's been around him that he doesn't have it in him. He's really he's really pretty worn out. And then he's dumb. This is the thing you hear from people, and I know that the left, but the left says it's about every Republican. They say Bush is dumb, Trump is dumb, Romney's dumb.

You know, everybody who's a probably Goann is dumb. So they're they over ease it, just like they say everybody's a racist on the right, we're all racists, and everybody who's on the right is dumb. This is this is the left wing, the laziness of left wing attacks against conservatives. But when you hear it about Biden, people seem to really believe it. They really just think that he's kind of he's kind of a dumbass. This is what you'll hear.

People will say that very and very confidently, like they don't they're not making a difficult decision. They're not making a difficult choice with all of this. So Amy Klobasher, obviously he does not have a future as a stand up comedian. And I really leave that Joe Biden doesn't have a future as president United States because I think that he's not going to win the primary. If he does win the primary, I think he has almost no chance of winning the general election. Even the polls tell

me I'm wrong. I'm aware of that. I'm aware that on a polling level, it should be it shouldn't be a it shouldn't even be close. Right now, they're saying that Biden's way ahead of him. Oh, Doctor Mark Siegel over at the at Fox talked about some of the medical and look, I was telling you this the way that they've gone after Trump, with the with the removal

from office under the twenty fifth Amendment. You know that they've made medical and age discussions completely fair game, which I think is now going to come back to bite them at some level because Biden is clearly worse for wear,

and Biden is not doing well. And there was that moment where I filled with blood during the climate change, and you know, because we're also get human beings, like I want Biden to be in good health as a human being, I want him to be, Okay, I don't like seeing it an elderly gentleman, how as eye filled with blood, especially in a very crowded place where Everen's

looking at him, it's it's unsettling. It's unsettling. But here's what doctor Mark Siegel over Fox has about Biden's overall health, which, as we know, is fair game to disgust. Biden did it blood in his eye? What might that have been? Now that's the more dramatic, and by the way, of course I haven't examined them. I'm not a physician, but that appears to me it would be something called a

subcontract timbal hemorrhage, which sounds worse than it is. It's a blood vessel leaking, but just below the eye, and usually it's benign. It goes away on its own and it's nothing to worry about. He appeared confused. That's been happening with increasing amount where he forgot, seems to forget what state he's in, or the timeline of the park the Parkland School shooting. Things like that are really concerning

to me. And again I don't know the answer to why that's happening, but I want to point something out. He had those aneurysms clipped surgically back in nineteen eighty eight. You know what happened In nineteen ninety we developed a new technique to do that where we went in through the artery itself, which was a miracle a change. So Biden's health is going to be a big discussion that they tried to hide the fact that Hillary, obviously it was a little shakier on the health front, and they

wanted anyone to believe. But we don't have to worry about Hillary these days. She doesn't look like she's going to get in, at least not from what I can tell at this point. But Biden's health, Biden's age, You're going to hear a lot more discussion about this. I'm still still sticking to it with my claim that Biden's not going to be the nominee. I don't know. I've doubled down on it so much. I can't back off of it now. I just think it's going to happen.

The bigger picture problem here is this is about an actual emergence situation. Most of the president slides are not about actual emergencies. This one is different. It's about a hurricane. He's been lying to the country about the hurricane with regards to Alabama ever since Sunday. Now he's watching TV coverage, he's getting mad at our fact checks, and he's lashing out again and again and again. It's a real sign of weakness, not strength. When he doubles down, it's a

sign of weakness. And I think if we were to take him at his word for a moment, which is dangerous because he usually not telling the truth, If we were to take him at his word, if he actually believed Alabama was in danger, that shows a shocking lack of knowledge about geography, science and storms. Anybody who's watching cable news for a few minutes knows how hurricanes work. Y'all would know just by looking at a map that on Sunday morning, Alabama was going to be spared. This

is gonna be a Florida in the Caroline storm. Everybody watching television knew that. See here's an example of where the media thinks that they are being the guardians of our republic and they're really just being an annoying hall monitor. There's this fixation on whether or not Trump said that Hurricane Dorian was going to be a threat to or rather when Trump said it would be a threat to Alabama.

They keep going back and forth on this one, and it's a reminder that, you know, look, Trump can be a little bit a little bit thin skinned or or decides that he's going to fight. He fights on things where he doesn't have to do sometimes, and maybe it's just because he's always in fight mode with the media. I can understand that, but they love to get into this, and I would note that turns out there are there's some reporting from CNA itself that mentioned we was played

for you then mentioned the state of Alabama. But there are many states that are under threat right now Derry at least six from the Carolina's right through Georgia coastline into Florida certainly, and then also even into the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi. You need to be on the lookout. Now, that's alb You know he mentioned Alabama. You know the President said that he thought Alabama wasn't a threat. They're saying that it never was. The President's lying.

I don't really other than just to stick a thumb in the President's eye, and he won't let them do that, so he'll keep fighting and doubling down. This is where the media just lacks judgment, lacks context. This is not an important issue whether the president said that he thought a storm is threatening Alabama or not isn't an important issue, but they make it a much more important issue. They try to make it a much more important issue, and

they say, oh, well, the president's lying again. I ask what's more important, what's more important for the public to understand, to debate, to discuss that the president may have said that Alabama was under some kind of threat, or that say mayor Pete Buddha Judge is running around telling people as a presidential antidate, telling people that climate change threatens

hundreds of millions of lives. Okay, so the climate crisis is that the very first thing if you were elected president that you would tackle or are there other things on day one that you would do first? It needs immediate attention on day one because this is a threat to our entire way of life. Hundreds of millions of lives are on the line. I know, usually the way we talk about it is save the planet. I'm interested

in saving lives, and there are lives in danger. Every time we see more frequent and more severe storms, when we're looking at droughts, what's going to happen to food supply? And this is upon us. This is no longer some distant theoretical thing. This is no longer just happening on the North or South Pole. This is happening to our country right now. It's getting worse, and we've got to act completely irrational. It's completely irrational. You want to talk

about lives. I mean, this is just all this is all a lie, the whole climate change Oh my gosh, hundreds of mill millions of lives on the line. It's it's an enormous lie, and a very damaging one. Is that trying to discuss with you. Yesterday people like Bertie Sanders running around saying that they think abortion in the developing world is something that we should be promoting because we need to control global population. We absolutely do not

need to control global population through abortion. I mean, it's immoral, but even beyond the immorality of it, there's just no reason to do it. It doesn't make any sense. It's a fake problem. The problem of global global overpopulation isn't a problem in the first place. The problem of climate change catastrophe isn't a problem in the first place. But they'll let mayor Pete say that without challenging him. I suppose because every journalist believes this too. Journalists believe whatever

they think will make them sound smart. They're generally journalists are generally lacking in principle and are much more concerned with perception. Perception is what drives most of the media coveragency. Most journalists are obsessed with how they will be viewed for an idea, how they'll be viewed on a certain issue. That's the reality of it, and that's what you see going on on all these networks and all these major places.

But to drill down into Trump on Alabama, to me just seems like another instance of they would rather talk about whether Trump told the fib or was wrong on something that is entirely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, then focus on the enormously consequential and unfortunately very damaging

lies about things like climate change. I've never been able to do a show like the one we did yesterday where we were running out of time to go through all of it, because of course they did this seven hour long which that's crazy that they really think we need to hear from all these different democrats. They all believe the same thing. They they're all reading from the same sheet of music. They're all a bunch of wackos, and they this is just where they are on this.

They're all gonna, in one way or another, support a government takeover of the economy under the rubric of Green New Deal energy, you know, green energy, renewables, climate change, all the same thing. It's it's not like one of them has a really novel idea for her to deal with this. I mean, Andrew Yang, I'm sure has some weird ideas for it. But you know, Yang Yang's worn pretty thin on me. I'll be honest with you, I'm not really not really feeling like I need to hear

much more from Andrew Yang than anything. He does have ideas, they're just not very good ideas. There was no pushback at all from anyone in the media about this climate change nonsense. I should say, no one at CNN certainly. Well, maybe that shouldn't be surprising by the way. I think I've told some of you this before, I believe, well, I guess I've told all of you if I said it on air. But I walked away from CNN in

at the end of twenty sixteen. They requested that I stay, and I said I'm going, which for somebody who at the time really didn't even have. It was before I was hired here to do syndicated radio. I didn't really have a job. I just didn't want to be working at CNN in its era of Trump hatred because I was very aware that there was a it's a personal vendetta. What you see is a news network has been commandeered by Jeff Zucker in the service of a personal grudge.

He has just decided that that CNN is going to be a weapon of propaganda against Donald Trump. That's what's going to happen. That's his decision, that's his choice, and I didn't want to be around that. Knew what that would mean for me as a as a CNN contributor at the time, and that's why I'm not at all surprised to see what has just happened here to someone that I've I've done some work with in the past,

which is a young woman named Eliana Johnson. She is going to be the editor in chief of the Washington Free Beacon and has come out and just said, look, they didn't renew her. They didn't renew her at CNN to be a contributor. And it's very clear to anybody being attention to why that is because she's going to work for the Free Beacon, which is considered a conservative publication. She had been a white house correspondent at Politico. This is a perfect example of the way the media landscape

works right now. You can work at a liberal organization as long as you suppress your conservatism and nobody really knows. But the moment that it's clear you're going to be a concern pervative, you get put into a different pile. You get treated very differently. I mean I was treated very differently once I started openly supporting Trump on air. I wasn't just the guy who knew a bunch about terrorism and could do that analysis. I was part of

the problem. So Zucker's war against all things Trump had had many, many casualties in a sense. And I'm just sorry to see Ellianna Johnson, I think feels pretty snubbed by CNN not renewing her after letting her when she was a white House correspondent for Politico. But this is the way it is. This is the way it is if you're if you come out as a conservative, if you come out as a conservative in this environment, you have real career risk. There are people who will not

hire you. There are people who do not want to be associated with your career, and unfortunately are people in positions of power, and they're the kind of people that hire the Brian Stelters of the world to talk nonsense about what Trump said about Alabama. I always thought that vaping was the much safer alternative to cigarettes. And I'm not somebody who's ever smoke. In fact, I can tell you I have never smoked a cigarette. I've never smoked one.

I just didn't wasn't my thing, didn't appealed to me. I tried a cigar once or twice, and I've kind of say cigars, I don't know, I don't, I don't know. It's not my thing. It's not really my thing. I like some delicious booze and wine, but cigar I haven't. I never developed a taste for you, cigar smoker, Mark, No, I didn't think so. So the only thing I've smoked I shouldn't say on the radio. Well, I gave it up after nine to eleven. But that makes two of us. So I want to go into the CIA. So I said,

no more of that, no more of that. You know, what is it? Uh? Whaco tobacco, right, what are they Mary Jane, the thank you? I'm trying to think of the cool what are the cool kids call it? I gotta remember these things. I can't always though, I'm not always certain of what the cool kids say. But vaping seemed like this really good alternative, right. Vaping seemed like something that you'd be able to replace smoking with. And it's water vapor, so it's far less harmful, it's far

easier on the lungs. And it turns out there's still some problems with vaping other than the addiction of nicotine. Now, nicotine is the drug as we all know that's in cigarettes. It makes them so very very addictive. But all that other stuff, the tar and the different carcynogens in the tobacco smoke, that's what's really bad for you. That's the stuff that is such a clear link to on cancer,

emphysym all the things that we've known for quite some time. Well, I'm seeing all these stories about of vaping is killing people. You saw this, This was the Daily Mail today. It's some other places too, that vaping has killed a third person and has left four hundred and fifty people sick. CDC Health officials warn the habit is behind a deadly new lung disease that has spread to thirty three states across the country. I just don't understand what is going

on here. I don't understand what the situation is. Two hundred fifteen cases confirmed. FDA has warned that cannabis vaping related deaths may be caused by a vitamin E derived oil. It's unclear what's going on with any of this. He got vaping related lung illness now killed four people. They're saying many, but not all, the severe lung illnesses have involved THHC, the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, as well as nicotine, and yeah, yeah, we got you gotta figure this out.

I don't know what. I don't know what's going on here. I'm surprised. I remember there was a there was a brief period when people used to think that you could do that. They call it shisha in most places, smoking shisha or narghila. It's a Middle Eastern water pipe. And you know these places have you have you ever done this before where you go in and you hka lounge, who exactly? Hookah? That's yeah, that's what Okay, Well, people say smoking shisha or narghila I think is what they

call it in either Lebanon or Egypt. But yeah, hohokah lounge, that's exactly right. Whok is the name of of the pipe, I think. And you know you see people doing this anything, you always know because you go past it and it's like, oh, it smells like pomegranted and like, oh it's you know, you have all these different flavors. It turns out that's really bad for you. That is not just because it smells fruity fresh doesn't mean that you don't have any

any issues there. Um. But this is a this is a real surprise you have now people thinking that vaping is so much safer, no no problem at all, and it turns out that's not the case. U after doing a full X ray of his lungs this is talking about. This is from the Chicago Tribune. An eighteen year old in Illinois was hospitalized after developing what seemed like a flu and then nausea and vomiting, and then a scan of his stomach reveal just the very bottom of his lungs.

Even from that small fraction of an image, doctors could tell something was off. This is all, according to The Daily Mail reporting on the Chicago Tribune. After doing a full X ray of his lungs, doctors told Adam his chest looked like that of a man in his seventies. He'd been vaping for about two years, starting with mint and mango nicotine e liquids, but eventually graduating the THHC dab sticks he bought off the street. Last week, the

CDC warned Americans against these very bootlegged products. By the time of his lung X ray, Adam's lung function was so poor by then he had to be placed on oxygen. Doctor started him on a course of antibiotics and steroids. Is improving, but his lungs may not recover for weeks or even months. According to doctors. Newly dubbed a disease, these lung illnesses are too recent for anyone in the long term effects. What is this? I don't even know.

I guess no one really knows what's going on. But it just goes to show you people think of lungs. I guess as because we've been smoking for such a long time. You know, your lung is very, very soft and important tissue, and to put stuff in there that shouldn't be in there. I think is just generally a very bad idea. I don't even want to think about how bad it is to be in some of these major cities that we're in. I'm sure it's terrible. I

mean him here in New York City. It's not as bad as Beijing and Shanghai, it's some of these other places, but it's not good. It's not good for your lungs. Anyway. I thought that I thought that vaping might be the cure for cigarettes, And it looks like now vaping has its own, its own way. So you know, you just never know. Folks, science comes along. They like to pretend like science is always settled. But then I always I always tell people, you know, is butter good for you?

So you drink whole milk or skim milk? Is meat good for you? Oh? Turns out I've got something for you on that. That's right. I'm not I'm not just throwing it out there that we could discuss whether or not meat is good for you. It turns out that there is a new study came from CNN. Research is found that vegetarians and vegans had a twenty percent higher risk of stroke than meat eaters, particularly hammorrhagic stroke. This translates to three more cases of stroke per thousand people

over ten years. Now, that doesn't seem all that statistically significant really in the grand scheme of things, But I'm just gonna take that to be do you want to die from a brain hemorrhage or not. If the answer is no, eat red meat, there you go healthier for you than being a vegan. I'm sorry. Yeah, vegetarians and vegans. I don't know how vegans do it. That just strikes me as no matter what the health benefits are, it's just too it's just too austere, too difficult, too complicated.

I couldn't imagine somebody saying, oh, I'm just gonna all of a sudden give up all dairy, all meat, all fish, everything, just living on plants basically plants and nuts and what else? What else? Did vegans eat soy stuff the beyond Burger? Yeah, no, I had it. It's okay, But people keep telling me that it's so healthy, and then I look at the ingredients and the ingredients it's like you're reading the back of a shampoo bottle with all the different chemicals and

there's a lot of stuff and beyond meat burgers. You know it's in the burger that I had for lunch today, meat dead cow. That's how I like it, Team Buck, it's time for roll call. Is a rainy mess here in New York City. Fortunately I leave a pair of old, very comfy sweats here in the Freedom Hunt because I walked in sopping wet. No fun at all. I was wearing my duck boots though. It's never never a bad idea to throw those throw those bad boys on your

feet when you're out there in the wetness. All right, Facebook dot Com, slash Bucks, Sexton. That's the way it's gonna go. That's the way it's gonna be. Let's see what we got here in the latest on our Facebook. And by the way, producer Mark, do we do we have an email address yet? Do we know? Still being worked on? It's a Friday? Come on, It was so hard. I try so hard to get this done. I really do you think work gets done around here on Fridays? Oh? Man?

It's like, how hard can this be? But it'll I guess it'll all It'll all be okay, buster ohen It's perfect steak recipe. This works best with fle Mignon and it's a long steak recipe. Enjoy. Okay, thank you, Owen. I appreciate that. Also writes Buck, I totally agree Master and Commander is a terrific movie and would recommend Hacksaw Ridge if you haven't seen it. Well, I would have to agree with you on Master and Commander because I obviously said I think that it's fantastic and it's a

Hacksall Ridge I thought was a very good movie. I was a little bit skeptical at first as Hacksall Ridge was was getting going. I didn't think it was necessarily gonna really deliver. But it's an amazing movie. And then when you read the the real Medal of Honor citation that that guy got, it's just an incredible story. Producer, Mark, you seen hacks All Ridge, I have not add that to your list. Man, Well, that's a very you know,

next time you're like what movie should I watch? I download on Amazon Prime or whatever or whatever the Amazon platforms you should download. Hacks all is very very good movie. Um, And obviously I like Master and Commander a lot too. I can't remember the last really good war epic that was made. I think it's been a long time, was it Dunkirk? I thought dun Kirk was boring? Really thought I thought it was boring. I'm thinking of I thought, what's going on? What all you know? Where are the ships?

They're like, all right, I get it, like they're waiting for the ships to arrive. But there's a lot of just guys on a beach and then a lot of dudes on the boats. Maybe I'm thinking of the one with the medic who helped everyone without a gun. That's hacks all Ridge. Oh then I did see. Actually I'm the worst. Yeah, of course I'm the worst. With the name of the movie. I can tell you the plot, but I don't know the name. It's a fantastically You're right, it was great. I don't need I'll take it right

off my list. Yeah, all right, um. Eric Buck speaking on a conservative book about climate change and fossil fuels. I studied environmental geology with an emphasis on environmental conservation and restoration. My senior thesis was on sustainable farming practices. I wholeheartedly viewed oil companies as of the devil. Still hold that the earth as a whole is valuable in

it is our responsibility to protect it. That being said, the book that took me off the ledge of left wing crazy was A Moral Case for Fossil Fuels by Alex Epstein. It's a well written book and makes great points. Highly recommend any of these to you and your listeners. Shields High. Well, thank you, Eric, I will I will check that out. I still think that there's a big opening for somebody to write the definitive refutation of climate

change catastrophe nonsense. I still think that that's there's an opening for that. I really do. Let's see what we have here. Harry rights, Hey buck, I assume whoops, I don't know why that they're going to the wrong part of my feet all of a sudden. Harry writes, the mainstream media is looking for any bad news they can to blame on Trump. The latest job numbers are a case in point. Only one hundred and thirty thousand new

jobs were added last month, supposedly less than expected. But if thirty million people need a job and five hundred thousand jobs are added, that is not as good news as one million people needing jobs and one hundred thousand finding one. Apparently the MSM didn't go the same high school. You or I attended Shields High. Okay, thanks, Harry, appreciate you. Running in man, Sheldon sheld T Buck love your show. You keep me safe and warm all day and all night.

Whoa Sheldon, Hey, buddy, Glad I can help. Glad I can be of service. Keep hearing about banning plastic straws and only using the paper ones. I live in Texas, so it's not a big problem here yet. But I've thought of a way to fight back when I end up in a place that only has paper straws. When I see it, I immediately ask for twenty straws, then replace the straw with a new one each time to take a drink, so it's a good firm straw. Maybe if everyone would do this, they will learn that it's

not just that it's just not cost effective. Let's fight back, Sheldon from Texas. Oh, it's one way to go. Making straws a pretty big part of your routine here, Sheldon. But I hear you, I hear you. The paper straws are ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Look, plastic is an amazing material. Plastic is great. I know that right now people like to demonize plastic, But plastic is fantastic. Oh, that rhyme

plastic is fantastic. That should be I should be on one of those national ad campaigns where they come up with the annoying catchy slogan. Yep, totally, Adam Buck, are you going to talk about te Swift being dethroned by an unknown band? Shields High? I don't know what we're well, what's what he mentions? Tool? Here? How is t Swift dethroned by Tool? I don't know who Tool is? Tools a band? Never heard of them. I don't think she's number one in the top fifty right now. Maybe that's

what he's talking about. I have no idea what he's talking about. Adam, you're gonna to explain this one, dude, You're you're confusing the whole team right now. No one really knows what's going on here. Al call me all right. It's great segment with Sean Parnell. I don't think he ever said what his favorite war movie is. Ironically, I just ordered Outlaw Platoon today, Shields High, Well, I think you really enjoy Outlaw Platoon. It's an excellent book. I

don't just say that because Sean is my friend. I think you'll all really enjoy it. It's it's very written from the perspective of a lot of humility, but also somebody who saw some really intense action. I saw some really up close and personal combat. William, Dave Chappelle was awesome. I understand how you think some of his jokes fell flat, but if you grew up in the South, everything was spot on. Thanks for the recommendation, now, William, I'm so

glad you enjoyed him. I thought Dave Chappelle was I thought he did a fantastic job. I really appreciated a comedian who's willing to make jokes that he knows will upset the social justice squad. That's something that's very rare these days. Very few comedians are willing to do that. They're very few comedians out there who will do something that could get them in any trouble at all. So what they do is they just all parrot each other the same kinds of jokes, making fun of the same

kinds of people. It's just boring. It's just boring. Simply, it's let's see here, casey, all right, hey buck. In comment to Tuesday show on Mad Dog, maddis Oh here we go. I served under him as my commandant in the Marines. I have much respect for the man, and in many ways he is somewhat of a knife hand ninja to us. However, I can explain these seven thousand books theory. You see, we Marines love our crowns. I prefer the flavored ones, but as it would go, we'd

like to color with them as well. Some coloring books even have short stories. So when you consider how many different coloring books there are, it's not that hard to understand how one who has been a cran master for nearly forty years to get through seventeen thousand of them. But with all due respect, we love Maddis as well as our president. Shield Side and separate five casey O, casey. I'm glad to hear that Maddis was a great guy.

But there you go. Like I said, I don't know him, so I have no firsthand experience of him at all, and that's that's where I have to leave it. I just know what I read in the papers, Kevin buck Shieldside. With regard to the climate change pushback on the left, take a look at Joe Bastardi's book The Climate Chronicles inconvenient revelations you won't hear from Al Gore and others. I know Joe Best started. We've had him on the show several times, so I think that would certainly be fun.

I've got to say I haven't really completely recovered yet on how insane that Democrat town Hall was. I mean, that Democrat town Hall was just looney tunes, lunatic fille. It's crazy, and I don't know how anybody who thinks that they're a serious person could take that seriously, could think that this was a good idea, worthwhile and all the rest of it, and it's just madness. Terry Right's hey, Buck, I'm just listening to your show from last night. You brought up a video that is the counter to Al

Gore's an Inconvenient Truth. I taught ap environmental science for years, and I show Gore's movie, then immediately show not Evil, just wrong to balance the viewpoints. Check out the video clip. The movie did not get a lot of attention, strange, I know, but great points were made. She'll tie from

New England. Terry. Well, thank you, Terry. I've never seen not Evil, just wrong, and I've never vaguely think I've heard of it, But I might just be saying that pretty sure that I don't know anything about it, So that doesn't speak well to how much attention and press it got. Dan Hey Buck, great show, great hair, back in a great city. Hold, Don, you're a great American. I know you hate numbers, but the CO two controversy

won't go away. So an easy way to think of the atmosphere is if each molecule in the atmosphere were a seat in a one hundred thousand seats stadium, then CO two would represent forty to forty one seats, or about four hundred parts per million. All right, very very interesting, very cool. I did not know that. I was unaware of that, Producer, Mark, were you aware of that? I was not. I was unaware of it. Jeff, Actually, well, we've got to take a quick moment here, a little breather.

Let you gather yourself, maybe dry off a bit. If you're like me and you're in the northeast and you've gotten covered with a rain while listening to this, hopefully not could have happened, though I don't know why I thought about that, probably because my head still wet. All right, we'll be back in the second with more roll call. Alrighty, we're doing the roll call, and here we go, Jeff hey Buckets tracker Jeff from California a day behind because

I listen to your podcast overnight. There's whether but there is a whether our climate change book out there called Inconvenient Facts. I can't remember the author's name, but I've heard it on the radio several times and it sounds really good. Okay again, folks, I'm not I'm sure there are some well written books that deal with climate change and try to make the argument that this is really the best one that I could think of is State of Fear, which is a Michael Crichton book, and you

all know how much I love Michael Crichton. But State of Fear is about it's really about eco terrorists. And Crichton thought that what they did in what they've done rather in climatology is to I was gonna say, deplorable, that word has forever changed, is disgraceful. They've made it a religious belief. You cannot you're not allowed to veer from it. So that's an issue, Nathan, right. Uh. Inconvenient Facts the science that Al Gore doesn't want you to

know Glenn Back had this author on the Blaze. All Right, guys, I get it. I know there are but this is not. Maybe it's great, I'll take a look at it. But I'm talking about a book that is the seminal work, the the paramount example, the premier. Yeah, you get what I'm saying, the magnum opus, the Pslas stalls. Right, that's how we do it. I'm in kind of a mood. I'm ready for the weekend. Man, I'm on a Netflix and sleep this weekend. That's what I'm gonna do. David, Right, Hey, Buck,

my wife's nephew. Post this today. It makes sense. Take take care, Dave. Well, I can't really tell anybody. It's a photo of Di's Walmart and Google. I don't really get what's going on here, but thank you for sending in. Sending it in, Karen, A great book refuting Michael Mann's catastrophic global warming prediction. Is Mark Stein's a disgrace to the profession. At the moment, it has four hundred ninety nine Amazon reviews. Thanks. I checked that out mark Stein.

I really enjoyed his one of his earlier books. I think it's America alone, and I would just say that. I think that this is the book that Stein got into legal some legal issue with where where Man sued because he said that it was defamation. I think that that is what happened. So yeah, let's see here, Randy, right, can I learn more about your background? Yeah? Sure, Man, Hey Buck, disregard that question. Okay, Randy, whatever you want,

my friend. But I would listening to your show here an Albert Kirky, New Mexico, the show with the dude who has a chainsaw a hand? Is Ash versus Evil Dead? Yeah, we got to that. Thank you for that. Is it worth seeing? I don't know. Is it worth checking out? What gets producer Mark fired up? By the way, because you're not the horror movie producer that was obviously Brandon.

And you're not the smoking cigarettes out back with the ladies because you're engaged, and that would have been producer Mike. What is producer? What is producer Mark's things? Sports? What? Sports? I mean, Hockey's my favorite football opening this weekend. I can't believe you said you were going to Netflix and sleep. Oh, I mean hopefully the cable will be fixed. Verizon has been to my home three. I'm a little worn out from my apartment issues. You know, the new place. Verizon's

been in my place three times. I mean you're in Manhattan. You probably have to walk a block to get somewhere to watch a game. That's a fair point. Yeah, But I'm just saying Verizon is like a little trip to this Verizon files is like a trip to the Soviet Union. It's like it's like I get to hop in a time machine. Well, I don't boto cable. I just have Wi Fi. Really, how do you watch sports if you only have Wi Fi? I have my ways? Okay, my

parents still have cable. Ah See, I gotta I gotta get on that trade because all I really want to be able to do is watch I need to have news on sometimes. I guess for you that makes sense. I don't watch news questions, but I just need to have the news on sometimes. And I probably should start just going more digital. But there's not a good daily digital stream that doesn't require a cable, a cable feed.

There's no twenty four hour digital cable network out there that's that's good, that doesn't require a path a cable. There are good options for like streaming television where you can get like fifty channels. Yeah, yeah, like I forgot. Maybe Sling TV is one of them. Yeah, I gotta, I gotta cut the chord. Verizons, Verizon Files is ripping me off, so I'm I'm not having it. All right, everybody, you got your orders, have a fantastic weekend. I'll see you Monday. Shields High
