Insidious Ideology

North Korea deal to date. We'll talk about that and much more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistakes America. Ready, you're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Great to have you here, Thank you so much for joining. So we have a lot of folks running around right now who are who are talking

about the need to abolish immigrations and customs enforcement. We discussed this last week and here's what I see happening. Um, Because it seems on its face to be so dumb. It seems like such a a political loser that there must be some way that they're planning to make sense of this. Right and and you know, you also have, at the same time as all this abolished ICE stuff is happening, a resurgence in the idea that millennials, young

people are are comfortable with socialism. And you have the victory of this far left social justice warrior Ocasio Cortes in New York City, and that has led to think pieces like this one at Slate, which is kind of a hip left wing website of news and you know, analysis or whatever. Why young Democrats are so open to socialism? M hm. So you have young democrats so open to socialism, you have the abolition of ice as a rallying cry

on the left. It certainly feels quite a bit like there is a a radical leftism that is emerging right now, or that perhaps we're just seeing more clearly something's going on. Uh, something is is changing. I mean, why democrats are so open to socialism? And this is fascinating because I think that young people are only open to socialism well for a couple of reasons. One, Uh, the media keeps telling

them that it's cool. So that's very important because or whatever they're told is cool, they're gonna believe must be a good thing. Two, they don't know the history of socialism, right they don't know what this has led to in the past. And three and in some ways it's most important. They have no ability to look forward into their own future and conceive of what it would mean to live in a truly socialist country or a country that is trending much more radically towards socialism than where we are

right now in this country. And so that there's a a left wing radicalism that is resurgent right now. There's something happening, and I'm gonna time that's also into Mexico and just a few moments because there he had a far left guy, a far left guy one there presidential election, and no one in the in the mainstream media is gonna want to touch this. But I I obviously will. I think this is going to be a big, a

big problem for us. I think this is going to be an issue because of what his plans are going forward for dealing with particularly dealing with cartels. But for let me stay on this socialism is cool meme and you've seen this in the past. Read Bernie Sanders was the first effort to really run at a national level a pro socialism presidential campaign. And they'll call it democratic social and whatever. That's what do they really mean and

what are they really saying. They're talking about a much more radical redistribution of wealth done by the state, and with the idea that it's about equality, even at the expense of freedom and prosperity. Right, equality is a more important goal then prosperity and individual freedom. This is the this is the essential fundamental conflict we have with socialism. And in this you know, hipster millennial socialism we're seeing now.

But also it's a fundamental conflict of the twenty and now in the twenty century in developed countries right now, in countries that are mechanized, countries that have seen the industrial revolution, countries that are that that have created the material the circumstances of material prosperity such that we don't worry about having to feed ourselves really right were we we don't have the same concerns as as we used to.

Now there there are people that are just focusing well, let's just spread the instead of increasing the wealth let's spread the wealth. And Obama was very favorable to this notion as well. Right, Obama was somebody who would go out there and say, you know, we need to you know, prayer Fair, Sure, yeah, I needed to spread the wealth

around payer Fair, Sure and all of us. But they, the the young Democrats, as we see here in this slate piece, are are are quote so open to socialism because they don't know what socialism has meant in the past. They don't understand what socialism really would mean in practice, and they even don't understand what socialism would mean for them.

You know, it does not mean everybody gets an iPhone and all the avocado toasts they can eat, you know, Socialism and the contact in the case of Venezuela, I think is a very that's a very important story that doesn't get told enough in this country because to take a relatively well off and sophisticated country like Venezuela with the law are just proven oil reserves in the world larger than Saudi Arabia's, and to turn it into the the eighth Circle of Hell with massive violent crime problems,

shortages of of bread and milk in the stores, and just in every at every possible stage, though, there was a justification for the government's position and the Venezuelan government under Maduro that the the Venezuelan governments basic rallying cry for everything it was doing was, well, it's the it's someone else's fault and we're just trying to help people. You know, it's someone else's fault, and we are doing

the best we can for the poor people, you know. Uh. And that and that that gives them a lot of you know that there's a lot of places they can take that they can run with that. And when you look at someone like Ocazio Court Orcasio Cortez here in New York City, you here or not. I'm in d C. I'm in the swamp, but up in New York City. Sometimes they get confused about where I am. You're seeing something similar. I saw over the weekend that, uh, the

Democratic Socialists of New York City. Um, the Democratic Socialists of New York City are an organization that Occasio Cortes is, you know, is a is in good standing with and on their official side, they will have they have the following, they have all these things. This is on their on their site via Twitter. New York City Democratic socialists want to abolish profit, abolish prisons, abolish cash bail, abolish borders and abolish ice. This whole abolition of immigrations and customs

enforcement rhetoric. This is not happening in a vacuum. This is not just a an emotional response to all the images and the audio of children being separated from parents at the border, which I would note, you know, children separated from parents when they commit crimes and do bad things all the time in this country. But you know, the Democrats are way less interested in that because it's

not politically useful for them right now. But trying to abolish all these things, you start to see that this is this is a radical agenda in the in the true,

in the truth, in the true sense of the word. Uh, the abolition of ice and the abolition of borders, this goes side by side, So you know, and this is why I have to be so careful when you're talking about democrats, or trying to talk to a Democrat who is on the left and and in good standing with the progressives, you'll say, you know, you guys are so hustle immigration and customs enforcement because you don't want to you just don't want the laws to be enforced. Period.

They'll say, oh, buck, you know, Immigrations and Customs enforcement, it was just constructed in two thousand and three, and you know it's okay. Well before that it was US US Customs, right. All the consolidation two thousands three did was for bureaucratic reasons. They brought it under the overall umbrel of Homeland Security and was supposed to be streamlined and more effective. Whether it is or not, it's not

really doesn't really matter for our purposes right now. It's just all the functions that Immigrations and Customers enforcement do existed before the reorgan two thousand and three and would have to exist going forward. Unless you really believe in the abolition of borders, unless you want to be an open borders country, and they keep saying we're not. We don't want open borders, we don't want open borders. I'm here to tell you that a lot of Democrats, a

lot of leftists are lying on that issue. They do want open borders. They just know the American people are not there with them. Yet they use this among them. You know, this is what they say among themselves. This is what they'll say at rallies, abolished ice, abolished borders, probably abolished profit. That's the scariest one of all. And I have I mean this, I'm looking at this right now on their Twitter account. I'm I'm reading this abolished profit.

Think about that. You know, those of us are sitting around like working ourselves, you know, probably into it early gray, but working ourselves crazy because they're trying to do better for ourselves, for our families. Uh, they would probably stop. We would probably stop doing that if there was no profit. Our society which has so much prosperity. I mean, we

are so well off you look back. I mean, one of the reasons I love history so much is because, as you know, you understand history better, you understand the present better. You also have a context for how you should view our current moment in history. And it always keeps you humble because you know, you know, we come and go pretty fast, your folks mean a lot of times. It might as well be nice to people and do your best to be a good person. Right, These are

these are important lessons you can take from story. But the system of capitalism that the left, including in America and more openly now that we've seen a long time. This system of capitalism that they rail against us unjust as unequal, as has brought more people out of poverty, has given more people hope and comfort and happiness than any other economic system in the history of the planet.

And it's not even a close call. And socialism has condemned generations and countless hundreds of millions of people to misery and poverty. And yet somehow in this country there are folks who are powerful, who are wealthy. By the way, Elizabeth Warren lives in a three million dollar house. Do you know that maybe two point eight at current market value, But she's a millionaire, folks, and she's running around, oh you know, but she's in good standing with these abolished

profit people. This is an insidious ideology we're talking about here, you know, abolishing profit, abolishing borders, abolishing immigrations and customs enforcement. This is destructive. And they want to run around and cry about Trump and Trump is m and they say it's fascism and Nazism and they're just delusional. But when I see this, I see people that are effectively being openly Marxist. I have real concerns about where this country is going to ahead unless we confront this stuff head on,

and that's what we'll do here on the show. A four to five eight four buck. I will be right back. I hope they keep thinking about it, because they're gonna get beating so badly. I love that issue. If they're going to actually do that, they're obviously talking about that, because they you are going to have a country that's crime written, the Border Patrol, the Border Patrol agents ice, these people are incredible. Hashtag abolish Ice has made a

lot of rounds on social media. You know that the activists, set and the media are really focused on this, But even the Huffington Post realizes it's not a great idea. Abolishing ice isn't very popular yet, it says in the Huffing Your Post, which is another way of saying it's

just not very popular. So I can't really tell at this at this stage of the game, if this is just a leftist temper tantrum in the era of Trump and it's unwise and there's no method to madness, or they think this is part of the long game of moving the country slowly, but in their minds and a kind of you know, marks a sense of the inevitability of history moving us toward a more radical left wing society,

and it will take time. And you know the fact that whatever percentage, uh, you know, whatever percentage of people are in favor of this here here we go, favor abolishing ice is according to Huffing and Post folks left wing sites. Yeah, I go root around on these left wing sites, so you don't have to waste your time doing it. Uh. The percentage of of um Hillary Clinton supporters here who favor ah, who strongly favor abolishing ice

is about That's what I guessed. The radical left, of the radical love which unfortunately runs a Democrat party, and most of the media, but that's who favors of Hillary supporters, So you're sort of standard Democrat is in favor of this. Basically, no Donald Trump supporters are in favor of this. I mean the Donald Trump supporters that say they're in favor of either probably didn't hear the question or just trying to be provocative to the to the people who conducting

the survey. And then you know, you see the non voter that they pulled here, it's again it's like four or five. So it's just the radical left that wants to do this. But the Democrat Party is being run increasingly by the radical left, and this goes to show you that they can't be honest about their real intentions. And so when they put forward someone like Ocasio Cortez, who is all about abolishing profit prisons, cash bail, borders, and ice, they want to destroy all this stuff. Meanwhile

the rest of government they want to grow endlessly. I always find this fascinating about leftist The parts of government that we actually need they are hostile to, and the parts of government that we don't need at all they can't get enough of. You know, the military, no, no, no, we need a smaller military, less funding. The military is a problem. Department of Education, Oh my gosh, there's not enough money for teachers. And Department of Education, Oh no,

what are we gonna do? You know that they're exactly the polar opposite of correct on all of this, and they're radicalism when it comes to the abolition of these different members. I mean, abolished prophet is just that's something that people say and they're either too stupid to know what it means, or or they're just I don't know,

they really want their advocating. There's such malcontents that they're advocating for the misery and suffering that has been on display, and every country that has ever even begun to try this. You know, we don't have to reach far back into

antiquity for this. You just look at what's going on in Venezuela and you figure that Democrats can never they never learn their lesson about this, They never have a real understanding of what needs to be done, and they are completely willing to use this stuff at a minimum for base turnout. But but I also think that, you know, if if they had their way, if the left had their way, they would implement some of this they have been. Abolished ice and replace it with what you're gonna call

it something, Abolish ice and replace it with nice. Everyone's gonna be so nice to each other. It doesn't make any sense. This has been the primary political issue we're heading into a mid term. Are they are the Democrats telling you anything about how they're going to increase jobs, how they're gonna, you know, help raise wages, how they're gonna, you know, produce better health. People say, oh, buck, well,

they're not in power. Yeah, but they're not even talking about what they would do if they were in power. They got nothing except Trump hatred and Jay Guivera wanna be is um so a big election here in uh in Mexico, and one that I think has implications that you're certainly not going to hear from most of the mainstream media. But they are troubling, my friends. They are troubling, to say the least. Mexico is in many ways are most important immediate security challenge. And I know that it's

not framed that way. It's not discussed as though that is the case, but it is the case. When you look at the drug cartels, the human smuggling, the importation of lethal substances that are killing tens of thousands of people of our fellow Americans, Mexico is a massive security challenge. And you you also have to wonder over the long term, will there be a strain of Mexican irredentism, meaning they don't want to that they want to regain lost territory.

That will become a political problem as well. I'm seeing here that there's already an effort to split where people keep talking about this that the splitting California into three states, which it's not going to happen because it's just complicated, but it would certainly be an interesting situation if it

were to happen. Uh. And you wonder if over the long term, there's the possibility that maybe a separatist movement from within the American Southwest or along the US Mexico border will be a problem we have to deal with. But that's further done the line. For now. Let's look at what happened here with this Mexican national election. Now you have a far left guy, Obrador, Lopez Obrador, who has won this thing. You know, he beat he beat

the competition. The New York Times refers to him as an a typical leftist mm hmm, a typical leftist, okay. And they're saying that he wrote a wave of populist anger fueled by rampant corruption and violence. Uh, and he wanted a landslide victory. And now they're saying he has a sweeping mandate two uh, change things with the country, all right, and and that this is a huge rejection of the status quo and that he will Uh. This is ac cording to the the Times, end corruption, reduce violence,

and address Mexico's endemic poverty. Folks, we have been to this dance before. With some of our Latin American friends and and regional partners, we have seen this play out. You've got countries with all this corruption, with a lot of poverty, a lot of problems, and they come out saying, well, you know what, we're going to find a way to

address this. And the way they want to address it is usually the redistribution of wealth and more state spending and state programs that the productive class will have to subsidize them one way or another. Is a recipe for failure. What ends up happening is that the government and I know we were talking to Venice, we are the earlier this hour, but this is true. The government comes in and says, hey, we're gonna fix your problems, and they

don't fix a problems and they need to find a scapegoat. Well, who's the scapegoat? If you're a populist, socialist government, far left radical regime, whoever is doing well is the obvious scapegoat. Right, The people that are managing to be prosperous and successful, they're the problem. They're the ones keeping you, don't you see, from having a better life. So we'll just take more of their stuff and give it to you and you'll

be better off. And then all of a sudden, people realize, hold on a second, well, now there's less foreign investment. Now there's less productive activity going on. Now the people that know how to run farms, you know, how to run factories, aren't really doing it anymore, which means there's less fruits and vegetables in the market. Stall means there isn't milk in the grocery aisle anymore. You know, you

start to see all these problems. They come and they go, oh, well, it's goo, and then the prices start to go up, right, because prices are set by the market, no matter what a government says. The government can say whatever, it can say, the prices whatever it wants, but the price is what the price is. People get on the black market, they'll find a way. And then the government says, well, they're being greedy. That's why you don't have more access to

you know, produce and products. It's because the greedy capitalists. So now we're just gonna start seizing their assets and we're we're going to take it from them. We're not just gonna do it through redistribution, through taxation and other mechanisms of the state. We're gonna actually try to run. Now you're once you have control of the means of production. Now you're with straight up socialism. And it's the question do you have a revolutionary elite in charge? Then you're

at then you're at communism. Right then you're at the hardcore level. Now even Venezuela is not communist. But there is nothing to be gained from going down this pathway. And Mexico's problems are are vast as we know. Let me just say this, We had it. We just had a an election where Lopez Obrador was the winner. And this is a country that has for us. The implications of this national election are more important than I think any other country I can think of off the top

of my head. I mean, maybe you could argue, you know, China, but hey, you know, we don't know who we really want to run China of the possible options, right, we've got hijin Ping right now. But do we want Is there somebody better that we know of? But a a far left government in Mexico is something to be concerned about. And Victor Davis Hansen, one of my favorite writers, pointed out a National Review that once you start to look at what Andrea's Manuel Lopez Obrador has said recently about

the relationship with the US and Mexico. You're concerned and you start to worry, and you realize that there's some stuff that needs to be addressed real fast. Um. He says, for example, that Mexicans have a human right to enter the United States as they please. Well, that doesn't that doesn't sound like our border is going to be particularly respected, does it. Uh. He says that this is in innate privilege that we will defend about the right of Mexicans

that come to America as they please. He has urged his fellow Mexicans to leave their towns and find a life in the United States. So he says that basically Mexicans can come to America as they please and that should be the status quo. Do you think this guy is gonna be helpful or not helpful on the issue of a border wall or a border that actually is

a border, right? I mean, do you think he's gonna be working with us on this or is he gonna say, hey, you know, it's the Americans, the gringos problems, the Americans problem mhm um. Hansen goes into some detail here, I think is important background for the US Mexican relationship. In the stands now by the way press is completely they are on the issue of Mexico. They're not telling you anything. They're not telling you anything. There was just an election

of Mexico for the president. How many places have you seen and read that there have been over a hundred and twenty assassinations of Mexican politicians and political figures, people that work for them, political aids in the last year. Hundred and twenty, folks, they are knocking off politicians, they're left and right. Doesn't even not even a news item here. No one even cares. No one even cares, and we

pay no attention to this. I'm sitting here and others have started to raise the alarm too, saying that the Mexican state has just suffered in seventeen. I don't, I haven't seen the numbers. Eighteen. Well, I guess we're still in twenty, right. Seventeen was the worst year for murders

in the history of Mexico. This is a country that I remember back in two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, we were seeing videos on YouTube of decapitations and torture and straight out of the ice this playbook. Right the the way al Qaeda was operating, the way that the cartels were operating, were felt like they were very much aligned. And you're not seeing much reporting about

this now, are you. You're not seeing a lot of big news stories on how there are cartels that are engaging Mexican Marines military units in fixed uh fixed position gun battles in large numbers and winning and driving off the Marines or forcing the Marines have to call in close air support helicopter gun ships so they don't get overrun. That's happening now, that's happening in the current situation. Mexico. Man, this is a country that you know, it's on a

board a lot of listening to show. You're like, yeah, buck, I you know I can drive to Mexican in a couple of hours right here. You're not seeing reporting on the hundreds of millions of dollars that cartels are making from human smuggling. Just a lot of kids. It's all about kids crying. It's not about what does it mean to have a border that's not strong enough that we can keep these coyotes from smuggling people into this country?

What does it mean that the cartels now are smuggling people in And by the way, what do you think the preferred method of payment is for someone who's being for an illegal either Central American or Mexican being smuggled into the United States by a cartel connected coyote. Well, if you run out of cash, what do you think they do if you're a woman, by the way, I won't even get to know, but you can imagine they do terrible things if you're you know, woman or a

man in some cases. I mean, this is the other option that they all taken with. With men, they tend to take this option. Strap you with drugs, send you across the border laden with heroin or fenton all or a drug that when it makes its way into the American market could very well end up killing somebody's son, daughter, wife, husband.

That's what's going on. I mean, we need to think much more about Mexico as a national security concern and one that affects you, you know, as much as I do like to spend some time for you know, reasons of the global struggle against jehadis Um And it's you know, ideologically, it's clarifying, it's important Boco Haram is not about to show up at your house and you know, kidnap you. The cartels might. Boco Haram is not connected to people that are going to rape and murder teenagers at your

kids school. M S. Thirteen is in fact that cartels are connected to m S. Theirteen and m S thirteen recruits in schools all across the country. But they don't want to talk to you about this narrative. They don't want this to be something that America. If Americans were more familiar with it, then all the stuff though, the weepy eyed stuff about valid it's nothing but valedictorians and people chasing the American dream. There's no downside. That wouldn't

be a tenable position anymore for them. They'd have to tell us the whole story and not just some glossy version of the story that they want to present for their own reasons of power politics, which is Democrats just want more voters. That's all. This is. Everything else's secondary. Here's what Hansen writes about Mexico. Facts are stubborn things and reveal Mexico not the United States, as a day

facto aggressor and belligerent on many fronts. Mexico runs a NAFTA protected seventy billion dollar trade surplus with the US, larger than that of any single American trade partner, including Japan and Germany except China. The architects of NAFTA long ago assured America that such a trade war would not break out, or that we should not worry over trade and balance is given the desirability of outsourcing to take

advantage of Mexico's cheaper labor costs. A supposedly affluent Mexico was supposed to achieve near parody with the US as immigration and trades who neutralized despite Mexico's economic growth. No such symmetry has followed NAFTA. What did, however, thirty four years later, was the establishment of a dysfunctional Mexican state eight who's drug cartels all but run the country on the basis of their enormous profits from unfettered dope running

and human trafficking into the United States. NAFTA certainly did not make Mexico a safer, kinder and gentler nation. Folks, Mexico is a problem for this country. I'm not saying it's only a problem, but it poses many serious problems And here's what I wanna talk about the other side of the break. What do you think this new president Obrador is going to do about it? He's a radical leftist with some really nasty things to say about this country. You think he's going to be not just a good

trade partner, but a good security partner. Oh, here's a hint. He has a way of dealing with the cartels that I have a feeling is going to make things much much worse. And this is the kind of security challenge. This is the kind of criminal challenge, criminal issue that could affect you no matter where you're in the country, because the tentacles of the cartels extended into even now midden small as US cities and towns. What is over door going to do? All addresses on the side of

the break, stay with me. We are committing human rights abuses on this border and separating children from their families, and that, you know, is part of the structure of the agency. We can replace it, and we can replace it with a humane agency. I don't think ICE today is working as intended. You think you should get rid of the agency. I believe that it has become a deportation force. UM and I think you should separate the criminal justice from the immigration issues. And I think you

should reimagine ICE. ICE was established in two thousand three, right at the same time at the Patriot Act, the a U m F, the Iraq War, and we look back at a lot of that time and legislation as a as a mistake. Now. Yeah, see there's that talking point again about how two thousand three, Yeah, they consolidated agencies, but the functions of the federal government did not change at all. It's crazy, oh man. But also on on O Brador, the new president of Mexico, I think this

is really really important. Um. It is believed that the likeliest approach he will take to the cartels is one of trying to negotiate with them. That so he'll pull the security services, He'll pull the in federales, the Mexican Marines, and all the different units that are trying to fight against the cartels. He'll just start to pull them back and say, you know what, keep the violence down and we'll leave you alone. What do you think that means for us? Do you think that means that will be

more or less drugs flooding into our streets? You think that will be more or less funerals from people overdosing from fentonel and heroin. This is our problem, Mexico. You know a lot of the countries you talk about over Yeah, I mean North Korea's our problem at that fire nuctus. But you know there are other countries that could try that to right, unlikely that that's ever gonna happen. Mexico is our problem right now. The Mexican government's policies, it's approached.

Did you think with the cartels this is something that we have to handle. This is something that's on us. Uh, And we do not. I do not think we have a strong partner. Trump said some nice things about over door, because look, he's a new president. He's gonna try to get a good relationship going with him. Maybe he will surprise me, maybe he will take a a different approach to this than I would think. Here's a here's a line that Victor Davis Hansen writes just write just reading

you from what he wrote a National Review. Here, as we're talking about our relationship with Mexico. Quote, there appears to be little real self reflection in Mexico about how and why such a naturally rich country blessed with good soil, climate, natural resources, ports, and a strategic geography remains so dismally poor. Does anybody, uh, I want to take a stab at starting that discussion. Anybody think that it's something we can

we can begin to address. Why is our neighbor to the north so rule of law and orderly and our neighbor to the south has such tremendous problems. By the way, Canada, you know they've been growing weird. I mean they've got a legal drugs right there, stuff that they but it's just not the same. Why is that? Does anybody have any ideas as to why that is? The gig? Um? I think that you know this this piece by Viker

Davis Hanson, I really think you should check it out. Um. And he also refers to the kids being sent to the border as levers for one owns later on entry. So he's saying that the kids are being used as a trojan horse situation, which nobody else will say that.

No welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. You would think, maybe, if you didn't spend much time watching them, you might you might think that the uh SO, the legal analysis world would be full of sober minded thinking. But in our current era of an open Supreme Court seat, now that Justice Kennedy has announced his retirement, things are getting wacko,

my friends, things are getting crazy out there. Arazy ah ory. Well, first you had the President mentioned that he met with a few before I get into the crazy, Let's hear the scene. Here's the President said about meeting with nominees, played thirteen. During the morning, I interviewed and met with four potential justices of our great Supreme Court. They are outstanding people. They are really incredible people in so many different ways, academically and every other way. And I had

a very very interesting morning, very very interesting morning. Indeed. Now, the expectation is that all of the judges that Trump has picked, all the judges that he has looked at um so far on his list, are people who are constitutionalists. And the left is is terrified, quite honestly, that this is going to affect a Roe v. Wade, one of the worst judicial decisions of all time, one of the very very worst in this country, and that includes a

dark history with some really bad stuff. A Senator Collins, meanwhile, who wants to make sure that we all know that she is a woman of uh, no conviction that she is someone who you know, as as the senior U S. Senator from Maine, is looking first and foremost to protect her own political career, is really a collinsist before anything else. She wants to make it sure, make make it clear that she has a litmus test, you know, she she wants a certain kind of person that has a certain

view of specific cases on the Court play nine. Justice Roberts has made very clear that he considers Roe v. Way to be settled law. I would not support a nominee who demonstrated hostility to Roe v. Wade, because that would mean to me that their judicial philosophy did not include a respect for established decisions, established law, established decisions like star a decisive established decisions. I'm just gonna say that, I'm not trying to be mean. Seems to be a

deeply unimpressive person, this Susan Collins. Oh not not anybody who is laying the world on fire with her intellectual prowess. I I just I'm keeping it real, okay. Beside that, though, beside that point, this is the dumbest argument that there is. Well, that's the way it was decided, so it should still be decided that way. Yes, the Supreme Court has a has a guideline because they don't want you know, it would be bad if you know, one year this, the

next year, that, one year this, the next year that. Right, there's a a willingness to respect precedent, but that doesn't mean a complete deferral the precedent, because then what's the point of the Supreme Court? Right? You know that the people that really talk about established law when it comes to Row are the same people who will who will

celebrate oh Berg fell on gay marriage. Gay marriage had not been a law of land in this country for a long time, but a change, right, same people who view Heller the case dealing with a gun ownership in washing d C. Where I am here in the swamp, that's a target to be overturned. I mean, there's just there, there's no foundational principle to talk about with these people that are saying, oh, you know, it's established law, it's established law. So that's just idiocy. It's idiocy in the

guise of uh, some kind of real argument. Um, you know, okay, I mean, dread Scott. Some would probably if you asked what was the worst Supreme Court decision of all time, you would probably get uh dread Scott, which held that a person of African heritage brought the United States uh could not be an American citizen, could not sue in federal court. Um. And yeah, so, I mean, if you're looking for the worst, that was a decision, that was

a Supreme Court case. You know they're there Karamatsu, which we've been talking about, the Japanese intern INTERMITTI Japanese Americans. That was a case that the Supreme Court looked at. And yeah, so because it was decided, isn't an argument, you know, it's just not. It's it's a factor in an overall argument. You could say, but this is the the stupidity, it's gonna be on display. But I mentioned that.

You know that an the legal profession, or in the legal analysis side of things, you might think to yourself, these are lawyers, they're trained, they come at this from from a place of knowledge and intellect, and so they're not just out there staying crazy stuff to get attention.

But if you thought that, you'd be wrong. Chief CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Tubin, writing The New Yorker, Uh, he wrote that see the new year, and see the new U. S. Supreme Court clearly abortion, illegal doctors, prosecuted, gay people, barred from restaurants, hotels, stores, African Americans out of elite schools, gun control band in fifty states, the end of the regulatory state. If this is not the legal analysis equivalent

of wild fearmongering, I don't know what is. And on some of these things, I'd be like, well, yeah, that actually, you know, that sounds the end of the regulatory state. It sounds like a good thing. Gun control band in fifty states, you know. Now, now we're getting somewhere. But some of these other things are just he's just made up. It's just not true. Gay people are not going to be barred from restaurants, hotels, and stores. That's not gonna happen.

That's not I don't I don't think he even makes a good faith, serious argument that anyone is on the Supreme Court would allow that to happen. But he's trying to scare people. They are doing everything they can to frighten everyone into thinking that there is some terrible calamity will befall us unless we pick a kind of squishy moderate to to put on the Supreme Court, and that would be and un forgivable betrayal of Donald Trump's promise and his presidency. And he knows that, and that's why

we're looking at these uh. That's why we're looking at these candidates now and know that no matter what the other side says, no matter what they present to us as their rationale for why the the sitting president doesn't have the right UH to pick a Supreme Court nominee, we need to just stay away from it. We need to not allow them to get into our heads with this garbage. It is just a lie. UM. I know Kavanaugh and Barrett are considered leading contenders for the Supreme Court.

I will say it will be really interesting, is you know, one of the last acceptable bigotries out there for the media, one of the last ones that they'll they'll just throw it around and they've got no problem with whatsoever is anti Catholic um. And now there are a lot of Catholics I know who are culturally you know they were raised I mean anti Catholic for those who who go to church and who believe in church doctrine, they can be attacked, they can be smeared. And with Amy Barrett,

I think she's a Catholic. I think Kavanaugh was a Catholic too. I think there are a couple of folks out there who are a couple of Supreme Court possibilities who are Catholics, and they are gonna get so hammered by the Senate, by the Senate Democrats on this issue. And you'll notice that they don't they don't pull back at all with the whole you're a Catholic, so you basically you're a Catholic like Scalia was, So you really can't be a Supreme Court You really can't be a

Supreme Court judge. M hmm. And I'm assuming so do my or, but I could be wrong. I'm guessing I should say so do my or was raised Catholic. But I don't know how you can square being pro choice with being a Catholic. I don't understand that. I just I don't get it. So, I mean, the Church hasn't moved. There's some issues you can talk about. Same sex marriage the churches is at least the pope is speaking about, and the popes has a lot of things with a

little more a different tone than in the past. On life, on abortion, there is no mm hmm. There has been no shift in Catholic doctrine. So I just wonder, and I'm Pelosi and these others they should be denied communion. I mean, they actually should be excommunicated. But that's now I start to sound like Torquamana, who we talked about on the Freedom Hunt podcast. By the way, for those of you who listened, you should check out The Freedom Home with Buck Sexton. It's a lot of fun. We

talked about all kinds of things. Writing history, one of our new segments that we'll be doing sometimes Commy Bear makes it appearance. It's good stuff. You should check it out. But but here's here's the real, the real road map of what's gonna happen. And you know, Collins and others are are given us a sense of this already. Uh, this is going to be one of the nastiest political fights that we have ever seen over the Supreme Court.

And it's gonna be so nasty and part I think because there's really no mechanism for the Democrats to stop it. There's nothing they can really legitimately do to shut this thing down. So they're just gonna rely on hysteria and pressure campaigns, and it's gonna get very very ugly. But I want you to always keep an eye on the way that they're making, the way that they're talking about these different Supreme Court picks, and and understand that they're

not making good faith arguments. Liberals have become far too accustomed to having a Supreme Court that gives them what they cannot get through the legislature, and they think that that has been the status quo for a long time, and whenever the liberals get from the Supreme Court is sacrosanct, cannot be changed, cannot be touched. Conservative victories are always temporary.

Liberal victories are forever. That's the way they look at it, and that's the Supreme Court that they want to have in place, and anything short of that they will view as unacceptable. I even saw a a legal scholar, I forget what the guy's name is. Um. I even saw a legal scholar out there who was recommending that the Democrats when they come back into power, engage in court packing, meaning that they they put more that they create more Supreme Court seats and then just put more leftists on there.

So this is they're they're not operating from a place of good faith or honesty. They're just operating from place of we want judges who give us what we want, not to interpret the law, not to be faithful to the Constitution. We want people to stand up there and right. I mean in the case of someone like so do mayor semi coherent screeds that our policy papers dressed up as legal interpretation. But that's what we want and we want it now. That's their approach. So make no mistake

about it. This is going to get, uh, particularly ugly, as we've been saying. And you know this week it's fourth of July week, and so things are gonna when we come back after the holiday, although it's kind of a weird holiday this year, you know fourth. What do you do on a on a wend? What do you do with a Wednesday? I mean, John and Mike, do you guys even have anything? What do you do when you got Wednesday off? You know, you rock out on Tuesday.

I'm an old man. If I rock out on Tuesday, it takes me till the least Thursday or Friday to recover. I don't know, I can't go out Wednesday night really because I gotta do us Uh, you know, six am, call here at the office, Mike John, you guys have anything, I'm gonna see fireworks. Yeah, I'll see fireworks, and people get mad at me over I always say fireworks are overrated, you know, no, I know it goes oh, you know, I'm like, look, if you're there with your kids, I

get it, you know, the wonder and all that stuff. Fine, But I'm always amazed when I see adults sitting there, you know, drink and shiv us on the rocks with a bunch of other adults, and they go, oh, it's like, are we caveman if we never see we've never seen fireworks before. Folks like, I don't know how exciting this really is. I know, come at me, tell me all you're you know, every gets mad at me whenever I

say this. But but but then people will secretly on the side say, you know what, You're right, fireworks are kind of boring. You know, it's fine from a distance either sitting there. If I'm sitting there drinking my my chardonney, that's right, bougie style, and I see some fireworks. Yeah, it's nice, it's fine. But I don't know, I just can't get that. I can't get that excited about it. New York. He got a rooftop party you go to you know, you know there's stuff. Look, I'm here in

the district. I'm sure there's gonna be all kinds of things. Uh, I'm sure there's gonna be all kinds of stuff going on where people are talking about America and freedom. I don't look, any excuse to barbecue gets me excited, So I will say that. But having a having a holiday on a Wednesday, this is this is the world. It just seems un American to me, And we're celebrating the most American of holidays in an un American way because

we should have a long weekend, folks. We should all be piling into cars, getting on you know, the inner state, and having to go see in laws that we wish we could avoid seeing. But we've got no choice, right, Like, that's what a holiday is supposed to be in America's Thanksgiving. Well, yeah, John, that's Thanksgiving too, I agree. But that's what's happening right now with this. So I'm a little i' a little disappointed at the calendar right now. I've got I've got

problems with this calendar. They need to either give us off Monday Tuesday or Thursday Friday. Yeah, exactly, And we need this to be a long weekend because we're not savages. This is not non there are rules. Ask me take an extra days off getting paid for it. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. I agree. Alright, guys, we gotta all in a quick break. We'll be right back. Listen, folks, do you have animals digging under your fence, either pets

escaping or predators and pests coming in? If you're tired of trying bricks, would or concrete, let me tell you about a solution, Big Defense. It's genius. It extends the protection of your fence underground. You install at the base of any fence to protect your and your property. All you need to get this done, folks, a hammer and gloves. You can install dig Defense yourself. And stop the dig.

No more chasing after Fido as he leaves the backyard, chase him around the backyard instead, stop the dig now with dig Defense available at Lows Tractor Supply, Minard's Wayfair and stop the dig dot com Minard's and stop the dig dot com And now for the month of July, is it Stop the dig dot com use the promo code Buck for ten percent off. That's stop the dig dot com and use promo code buck b U c K for ten percent off your whole whole order at

stop the dig dot Com. Look, I just don't even know how you can trust anything that this administration says or does. Through this debacle that has been this entire family separation from says. The one thing that has been revealed is that this government, this administration, is incompetent. And in the event that you didn't know it before, you know it. But certainly now. They lie. They lie, They lie,

they lie, they life pathologically. They lie with impunity, They lie constantly, They lie one time right after the other, like if they hadn't said anything before. Sometimes to think that Anna Navarro over at CNN, I mean maybe maybe it's just a lack of word dexterity, you know, running short of the vocabulary, the way that she does her analysis. It's just like, is that really the best we can do? But uh, you know, they put her on TV all the time, like we're supposed to listen to her. I

don't understand it, but they do. They treat her with a lot of respect. They quote Republican over there, seeing all she does is bash the administration among the dumbest people I know of. On television today, Carol in Pittman, New Jersey, Carol, good to have you. Hello about care are you? I'm good, happy to be here, Thanks so much for going in. So many things I want to talk to you about. But the thing foremast in my mind is cast I'm very worried that this could be

against the administration. UM. I feel like there needs to be strategic patients. You know who agrees with you, by the way, you know agrees with you? Johnson and New play clip three, my friend, I think in the long run, the president is a free trader, but he does understand that over the years we have drifted into this horrible position. Uh. He's using attack that that might be different than than some of us would use, but it is attacked to get this process back to a free trade structure, both

with China and the EU. We may not like this transition and the policies involved in the transition, but I think the target is to get to a free trade policy in the long run, and that's what I think we ought to be keeping our eye on. I agree with the new new Carol Um and I'm gonna talk more about this in just a little bit. We're probably gonna talk trade in the third hour of the show today with some more specificity about the upcoming tariffs on China. But so is that that's what you want us to

get into that, right? Yes, okay, I'm worried. All right, Well, your wishes our command here in the Freedom Huod Carol. We will get to the issue of tariffs, and don't worry yet. I think everybody's gonna be all right. I'll tell you more about that in just a view um our conservatives weaponizing free speech? Is that even a thing? Liberals seem to think it is? How is there a thing? What are they saying? If you stay with me through this break, my friends, I will tell you he's holding

the line for America, buck Sexton, his back. Is free speech a conservative weapon? This is uh an astonishing piece of not not editorial, my friends, This is a reporting. This is reporting courtesy of the New York Times on the issue of free speech and how they think now that free speeches where where being weaponized by conservatives. Let me read you some of this. This is, remember, folks, not an up ed. This was reported in the Politics section of The New York Times as a news story

and I quote. On the final day of the Supreme Court term last week, Justice Elena Kagan sounded an alarm the courts five conservative members, citing the First Amendment had just doubt public unions, a devastating blow. The day before, the same majority had used the First Amenment to reject the California law requiring acquiring religiously oriented crisis pregnancy centers

to provide women with information about abortion. Conservatives, said Justice Kagan, who is part of the Court's four member liberal ring, were weaponizing the First Amendment. The two decisions were the latest in a stunning ring of victories for a conservative agenda that has increasingly been built on the foundation of

free speech. Conservative groups barring and building an arguments developed by liberals, have used the First Amendment to justify unlimited campaign spending, discrimination against gay couples, and attacks on the regulation of tobacco, pharmaceuticals and guns. Liberals, my friends, and that's so that's the end of the quote there. Liberals are not in favor of free speech. They're in favor of what they're in favor of, meaning that liberals interpret laws.

And this is very important for you to keep this in mind. Liberals interpret laws based upon what they want the law to say. You will be hard pressed to find a progressive leftist who comes along and says, you know, I really disagree with this outcome of this law, but that is what the law says. You'll notice that the liberal wing and this, this is where their distinction is. This is how there's a separation betwo conservatives and liberals.

You will see sometimes or many times when there's a contentious issue in front of the Supreme Court, and this is also just the way this is beyond the court. This is the way liberals and conservatives see the world right, but the conservative justices will say, well, you know, this seems like an unwise thing, this policy that you have, but this is what the law says, and it is constitutional.

There's nothing the constitution that prohibits this. The way liberals approach the law, the way liberals approach issues of constitutional interpretation, they say, well, this is what the law should say, and so we're going to say that that's what the law sets, which is just other way of saying the law is non existent. Really, it's just a question of what day it is and what any particular progressive power feels like instituting as the law. This is very troubling.

But you see this with free speech. You know, it wasn't long ago that you thought of the liberal left in this country as being the big free speech. They held themselves up as the free speech champions, right, the Berkeley free speech movement. Now there are in in a tremendous irony. There are a few places in the country where there's less free speech than a college campus. Berkeley

high up on that list. These these uh liberal institutions, these leftist institutions, places like the a c l U. It wasn't long ago the a c l U would sue anybody so that they could promote you know, radical free speech. Right, that would be one way of calling it. You know, the more insulting you can be too, you know, if you can put a crucifix in urine with public dollars, you know, go for right. Whatever it was that was

an insult of Christianity, to established societal norms. And by the way, I'm pretty I try to be as close to to a a free speech hardliner as possible, So I do believe that speech that's insulting, that's enraging even is protected. I do believe that the most grievous religious

insults are completely protected speech. And I also believe that calling you know, one political party, for example, in the American in the current American context, essentially you know, socialism with the face of of democracy is or with the face of the Democrat party is fair to say, right. I mean, I think that very harsh political criticism as well is is protected speech. I mean, liberals, Democrats, the left,

they don't buy into that. They believe that. And this is why I'm always so opposed to hate speech re um regulations. This is why I'm opposed to any efforts to qualify speech based on the desirability of the content. Right, That's why I have I have concerns about this. That's this is why as I see what's going on, what's happening right now, I understand that the left is abandoning the notion of free speech because they're losing the argument.

They're losing the argument over religious freedom, they're losing the argument over forced compelled speech. You know, they're saying, oh, well, you know, why can't it's just a medical procedure. No, abortion is not just a medical procedure and forcing somebody who at least professionally exists to avoid something, forcing them to you know that This would be like saying, you know, all doctors are mandated by the state of California to tell people who are in the early stages of developing,

you know, or are showing warnings for lung cancer. You know, you could you could just keep smoking and maybe nothing will happen to you. That would seem pretty antithetical to what what they're trying to accomplish, right, That would seem to be quite as stratch. But that's really what's going on here. That's what has been happening. Compelled speech when it comes to abortion. By the way, they they wish if liberals could, they would outlaw criticism of abortion, they

would outlaw nasty speech about abortion providers. Uh. Abortion is the this is why things are gonna get so ugly. Of the Supreme Court nominee. Abortion is the single issue that is of greatest psychological importance to the left right now.

And I think it's because they realize that once the country comes to its senses on this, there will have to be a reckoning with what Ney roll and planned parenthood and these organizations have been pushing and what Hollywood has been a part of here and what they have done, it is an egregious, egregious, uh violation of all the most basic human decency and our obligations to each other as human beings. But I don't want to get too far into that conversation right now, because that's all I

end up talking about. But just this whole notion as I sit here, that the First Amendment has been weaponized? What does that even mean? That conservatives will push their ideas even if it upsets liberals and so that's weaponizing it. I mean, this is crazy. I mean, Kagan is a perfect example of leftist jurisprudence. When you see this, you know, they they just want to find a way to outlaw stuff they don't like, you know, they they want to.

By the way, they'll extend this to making you use pronouns for people that aren't actually even pronouns, but you'll be required, under under pain of state sanction, to use pronouns that are uh, completely and utterly made up come out of nowhere? You did? You know Canada has just been dealing with this as well. This is how Professor Jordan Peterson became so well known. He's like, I'm not using like Z to refer to somebody. Sorry, that's just weird.

You know. I'm not changing speech because people have this belief in their minds about who they are and what they should be all about. But I do just think it's so interesting that the the ground has entirely shifted and conservatives want to be able to make the argument and want to make the argument freely, and they also want to be able to express their ideas, and liberals are constantly turning. I mean, it's fascinating because they'll say,

all Trump's a fascist. Liberals are constantly turning to the power of the state to shut down speech that they do not like. You know, liberals will turn around and find every justification imaginable for them to be able to dictate what you can say right there there. They'll they'll

move around the law however they have to. And this piece just really struck me as at least it's honest, right, at least the weaponization of speech is something that they'll talk about openly now, and and it's gonna get a lot worse, folks, because as they continue to and I'm gonna talk about the political losses that I think they're facing. But as they continue to not get their way, you're going to be in a situation where or we're going to be in a situation where they're grasping to try

and stack the deck in their favor. They're they're gonna try to find ways to um even out the political momentum and and tilted towards their side because they're losing on some of these things. They're just losing, and so they're losing it as a result. Uh, they are they are not committed to freedom of any They're not committed to freedom of any kind. Unfortunately, the only freedom they really believe it is the freedom to to terminate a

pregnancy and end of human life. That is the most ancord freedom of Democrats, and it's why they are so utterly, uh freaked out about the Supreme Court situation. But I want to talk about what I think is coming on the political side to here some interesting insight, believe it or not, from Chuck cod Here's what here's the short version. Trump is winning. We'll get to that in a moment.

The announced retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy this week helped make one political reality clear despite his overall on popularity, President Trump is winning and the Democrats right now are reeling. The Supreme Court, Mr Trump is about to shape the Court for generation by choosing a possible tie breaking conservative justice, and he's already filled the lower

courts with like minded conservatives. About the Republican Party, the President's approval rating among Republicans is around elected Republicans fear criticizing him, and the party has become a cult of personality. His how about fake news? Mr Trump has turned that phrase, which initially refer to the phony Russian generated stories designed to support his campaign in and to an applause line, now to discredit responsible reporting, showcasing his misdeeds about credibility.

If reporters faithfully fact checked the President's serial misstatements, they risk being considered biased. If they don't, the misstatements gain traction. Either way, Mr Trump wins. So they have Chuck Todd, who at least is smart enough to figure out that indeed Trump is winning. And this is a recurring theme here on the Bucks Action Show, as you know, but it's one that that I do like to spend some of our time on because certainly the mainstream media does

not want to do it all that much. They've thrown everything they have at this guy, every dirty trick in the book. They had the October surprise before the election with the Billy Bush tape. They've run a special counsel investigation of him. They're hounding all of all of his White House employees. They're the entire Washington, d C and Ascella Corridor, which is for the Ascella train that runs from Boston to d C. It's supposed to be a

high speed train. It's really not that fast. Uh. That entire set of the country is all those reporters are are effectively an oppo research team against this president. That is what they view as their role. That is what they do. They do not tell positive stories. They do

not want to tell positive stories. But this is really a warning from Chuck Todd about how despite all of that, despite everything that they have done to try and derail this president, to try and you know, get his associates arrested and imprisoned people and drive a wedge between Trump and the most important members of his team, guess what, he is still thriving as president and the country. No matter what they try to tell you. The country is

absolutely pause Ativley doing well. The country is doing well right now. The country is not in a place where we should be worried about fascism, where she we should be worried of. I mean, that's just crazy talk, right, And Chuck Todd is sitting here saying, well, we think he's terrible and he's so scummy, but meanwhile he's winning. You know. Also, um our our friend Michael Goodwin writes The New York Post. He wrote a comma the weekend

about how, yeah, that's right. Despite all the stuff that they say, all the stuff that they do, it it is in fact the case that Trump is winning, and this is driving them even crazier and crazier. What is it that they think that they are going to accomplish at this point by continuing the same stale there just by the way, the whole thing of oh we fact

check his lizer. You know, when Trump says something like, you know, this is gonna be the great this is gonna be the greatest night of of you know, of all time. Folks, when he's like, you know, giving a speech an event or something, Oh it's not the greatest note of all time. They think that up too. Literalism is an important bulwark of our democracy now, right, Oh, he said this, and it really meant that, you know,

we we get what he's saying. It's not that he's taking us intentionally in a direction and then switching directions on issues that are important to us at least I don't mean unless I'm forgetting something, you know, um. But but also given how arrayed against him they are, given that he does, you know, he does a little bit of exaggerating. He's infelicitous. I think sometimes with with his words. He does not use an economy of words, that's for sure.

But given what they've tried to do to take him down that they haven't succeeded, I think this is throwing the left into something of a panic. I think this makes them really worried because what will it mean for them if you have Republicans do very well in the mid terms. Now, not only did we have this this blip of oh, Russia and all these excuses and comy, what's the excuse gonna be in Republicans win the mid terms? Folks?

What are Democrats gonna tell themselves? Then? I mean, you and I can go just go bathe in liberal tears all day. But there is no real excuse that's ready for them. There's nothing that they'll be able to come up other than what just just keep calling the country racist. Keep telling people who voted for Obama twice but now they vote for Trump because they were disappointed with the policies of obama Ism that they're racist. That's really gonna

win hearts and minds. They've just got nothing, and they refuse to really look at the underlying truths here, which is one The Democrat Party, and this is something we've been talking about, particularly today on the show, is a far left party. Now the the notion of it as a centrist technocratic party as a joke. It's a joke. What a Democrats stand for? Well, you could say they stand for these They stand for concepts, and they use that in order to gain recruits. And they've also got

a lot of social cash a right. But the concepts are you know, equality and helping the poor. These are things and you go, oh, buck those also. That sounds good, right, that sounds good. Okay, how does that work in practice? Oh, you're gonna have this the force. You're going to use the force of the state to seize property from some people to give it to others. It's worked, wonders for Venezuela.

This is not a good idea, folks. Their ideas are bad. Uh. The the progressive left hasn't had a good idea in this country in in a while. Uh. And I think that's really what the problem is. Now, what are they promoting in opposition to Trump? What are they saying that they what would they do for the country better than what Trump is currently doing for the country. And I

just don't think they have an answer. So, I mean, Chuck Todd, as much as I think he's yeah, he falls in that category of pretending to be just a journalist when in reality, you know, he's a Democrat. Okay, just a journalist, but happens to be a Democrat pushing a Democrat narrative all the time. But at least he sees this for what it is, which is that there their efforts to stop Trump and their efforts to bring down this administration have not only failed. Trump is popular

with they say he's unpopular. That's naturally, but all presidents are like in the forties in America, because we're just like, oh, yeah, we blame that guy. Right, but we just need to hang on, folks. I ain't mad. Terms uh would be sweet. I have a feeling buck Sexton remssion decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, you're a great American again. This is the buck Sexton Show. Thoma CIA analysts. No, we don't back down on the

tariffan No. I look, we're in for you know, we put in two hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of product. The tariffs are infected could go up to five hundred. Frankly, if we don't make a deal and they want to make a deal, I will tell you China wants to make a deal, and so do I. But it's got to be a fair deal for this country. One of the hard things is our presidents and our business leaders. They were missing in action. The European Union is possibly

as bad as China, just smaller. Okay, it's terrible what they do to us. European Union. Take a look at the car situation. They send the Mercedes in we can't send our cars. And look what they do to our farmers. They don't want our farm products an all fairness, they have their farmers. So they want to protect their farmers,

but we don't protect ours and they protect theirs. We've been very nice to Canada for many years um and they've taken advantage of that, uh, particularly advantage of our farmers. And at the G seven the President actually proposed that they get rid of all tariffs and drop all barriers and have a really great trade and they refuse that. And escalating tariffs against the United States does nothing to

help Canada and it only hurts American workers. The President is working to fix the broken system and he's going to continue pushing for that. This is going to be a defining issue for the Trump presidency. This is also going to be where you're gonna see, I think some

of the most unexpected success with the Trump administration. Or rather, this is where the conventional wisdom is likely to be proven wrong once again when it comes to an issue that Donald Trump has become fiery on, become attached to that that he wants to solve. Now I understand that this Friday, I believe it is, there's going to be some tariffs that go into effect visa via China. It's gonna be something that people look at as the as

a possible. Yeah, fifty billion dollars of Chinese products starting this Friday teriff on them. Now that's a fraction of just overall US China trade. Let's understand that. And we also, I think have finally come around to the recognition that we do that to say free trade, I like free trade is meaningless because trade right now is not free.

Countries are gaming the system. Countries are using every means, every mechanism at their disposal in order to try and help their own domestic industries to engage in, you know, what, what they view as best for their people. Right The EU does not have does not have the tariffs on or even total block on US import of certain meat products, for example, because they're really worried about contamination or GMOs

or whatever. That's not why they're doing it. They're doing because I think it's better for their own domestic meat producers as a total. Aside. By the way, there's a real problem now with French vegan terrorists, which is something that I think I'll have to address on the Freedom Hut podcast this week. But these vegan terroriffs are going nuts, and I just always want to say, you know what you do if you see a vegan terrorist Feediam cheeseburger,

and he won't be a vegan anymore. Problem solved. But the EU has these things in place because they think it's best for them. The same with China. China's GDP has taken off like a rocket ship since the eighties. Lots of tariffs, lots of predatory trade practices. Trump is not saying I just want to put tariffs in place, because tariffs sound like faun He is coming out and saying,

hold on a second. We need to be in a situation where other countries play fair with us, where other countries are going to respect that we have our own economic interests, and that means a willingness to go to the mat on some of this stuff and push back. You know, it's it's so fascinating, it really is. The the elevation of the internationalist obama Is point of view on these things, where it's just agreement becomes its own end.

We would just need to find a way to all agree on something and then that's great, right, Oh, everyone's gonna like this together. Well, you know, it's a multilateral trade deal. What could go wrong? I keep telling people that anyone will listen people who get mad at Trump for abolishing NAFTA. NAPTA existed before the Internet. I mean

NAFTA was created before the Internet. Think about how much commerce has changed, and any revisiting of a massive trade agreement that clearly affects American jobs and workers is something to be afraid of. I just don't get it. I think that a lot of this is driven by a sense that you know, well, one of course Trump hatreot, people hate Trump, but also things are good right now and people don't want to mess that up. And I think Trump feels very strongly about this too. He doesn't

want to mess things up. Economy is really strong, Unemployment is really low. The Democrats got nothing. They don't have a pray air of a blue wave in the fall. If if the election were held tomorrow, my friends, I think we're all quite clear. I think Republicans would gain seats House, hand Senate if it were held tomorrow. The only way that really changes is if there's major disruption to economy. So I understand the need for caution here.

I would add this though, to our conversation. If you're going to do something about trade and trade and balance long term, if you are going to get China to stop some of its predatory practices and behaviors. Then you need to do it from a position of strength, and you need to be willing to take action when you can afford some disruption. What I mean by this is stock market dips maybe right, you know s and p all of a sudden crashes out. You've got a lot

of unemployment surges. Do you think anyone's gonna want to risk any trade disruption? Then you think, and you think they'll be the political will to engage in the kind of brinksmanship, because that's what this is is this is a game of chicken. Trump is playing chicken with the EU and chicken with China. Now we got the biggest,

baddest car on the road. And in the past with the Obama team and people before him as well, the idea was, oh, well, no, we just we don't want to We don't want to scare you into driving off the road. So we'll just what do you want and we'll pull off the road. You can win our game of chicken, so to speak. That was the approach. Approach is very different. Now is it gonna work? I can't

tell you it's gonna work. You know, maybe China is absolutely hell bent on keeping things the way they are, even if it means that they're gonna you know, I don't know. One of the problems you have in any negotiation is that your opponent is not necessarily smart or rational. I think the Chinese government is rational in many ways. I do think the government is smart in many ways.

But they also have a different long term outlook than we do, right, I mean, do they really want shared global prosperity or is it just China at all costs that everyone else's expense. I'm not sure how to answer that question, and I think a lot of people would have to think long and hard about it before they did. But Trump has the capital now, and the economy has

the leeway now to absorb some some disruptions. The economy has the ability now to take some take some heat and not have everyone freak out because there's gonna be some rough days. I mean, you know, if this thing goes into effect on Friday, yes, stock market is probably gonna take a hit. Your four oh one came, I take a little hit. You might see a little bit of a pullback in the jobs numbers or something. And but this is all for a purpose, and Trump thinks

we can get there. I don't know if we can, but he thinks we can, and that purpose is okay. China decides, you know what, we're gonna pull back our tariffs too, and we're going to start negotiating in good faith on issues of trade with the United States. And what would that do? What would that do for us? What would that do for China? Sometimes, trying to get to a better future, you've gotta push through some tough times. I think that's a very simple but important way to

look at what's going on here with trade. If Trump is wrong, if this thing blows up in our faces, I assure you, we'll come on the show and we'll talk about it. We'll deal with it. But I think Trump's are in the leeway that we gotta give him a chance on this one. He is all in. Let's see how the Donald does. We'll be right back. Summertime it's always a good time to get yourself some new gear.

How about you get some incredibly comfortable t shirts performance where I mean performance where Polos lightweight tease, long sleeve teas that are top quality fabrics, and also have designs that are all about patriotism and America. Nine Line Apparel is what you want, it is what you need if those are things that

For years now, I have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, I'll inform un American, hypocritical menacing callous, ignorance, narrow minded, and at times blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric. Liberalism has been co opted and absorbed by the very characteristics that

claims to fight against. For years now, I've watched as people on the left have become innestetized to their own prejudices and bigotry and the prejudices and bigotry of those around them who echo their values. I have watched this. Formerly sensible people who claim to reject racism have come to embrace the principles of universally hating and blaming all of society's problems on all people who have white skin.

In an effort to gain voters and maintain power, the Democratic Party that I once loved has joined forces with the extremists left. The Democratic Party in the liberal media now believe their own ill gotten conclusions and have ominously decided that they and only they know the remedy for societies ills. The left has decided that the solution to problems with race relations in America is more racism. The left believes that attacking, insulting, into humanizing one group of

people elevates another. The left now believes that there are no boundaries when telling lies, omitting the truth, or misrepresenting facts when telling the news, because their end justifies their means. So that is from the the video that has now become something of a viral sensation and lead to the hashtag walk away movement, which is a video of those.

It's about renouncing liberalism. Video created in late in May, so it's kind of been gaining steam over last month or so by Brandon Straka, who is a hairdresser and aspiring actor. So this guy made a video about leaving liberalism and it is going viral and now people are saying, and I was asked about this last week, and to be honest with you, as I always am, I didn't know anything about this. So I, as I say, I will,

I went and checked this out. And now I see that this is something that's, you know, getting a lot of a lot of attention from a lot of folks. People are very interested in this notion of walk away, and we're by the way, we're gonna get the the other side of it, which is people who pretend to

be one thing and they're not. That will happen in a moment with Jennifer Ruben on the wash and Post, who's just just disgraceful, completely and utterly appalling the way that she writes what she says not a not an ounce of integrity in that woman. But I'll get to that. Washington Post loves her, of course, right because you know, putting a bad conservative on air, even if they're if they're bashing conservatives, great, But even if they just look clownish,

even that that's good too. But back to walk Away. Here, this guy is talking about how he, you know, the Democratic Party doesn't stand for what he thought it stands for. And you know he's hoping for a People are saying this may help him. Who knows hoping for a blue um or rather a red wave in November instead of a blue wave. You know, I gotta tell you that these these meme based political movements tend not to last

all that long. Here's the truth of it. Um. Conservatives are always happy when somebody comes over to our side, and we don't make them debase all their ideology of the past. We don't. We don't make them, We don't break them over the coals, and I'll make them walk through broken glass. If you want to be on the right and be in the right, you're welcome. We we we are looking for converts. We are not hunting for heretics.

That's a very important distinction between modern liberalism and modern conservatism. And I think that this attempt to use social media and pop culture to reach folks and tell them that it is okay. You know, you you don't have to believe there are thirty seven genders. You really don't have to. You don't have to believe that climate change is the most imminent national security threat that faces this country. I mean, those are things that you could only believe if you

had been brainwashed and indoctrinated. And no normal rational person would think those things. Left to his or her own devices, no one's gonna think there's thirty seven genders. No one's gonna think the world's gonna end because of c O two in the air. Right, So it's okay, we want, oh, we want people to come over to our side. And as to the effectiveness of and by the way, that's

one of the missions that I'm engaged in now. I mean, I try, and I try, and at least I'm trying on my show rising each day to make Crystal see my side as it is. It was a really interesting study that came out recently in which, you know, is a a blog that does a lot of metrics and engages UH sentiment and you know, it's it's really a polling side made famous by Nate Silver. But it was fascinating the number of people who were of the impression,

uh that can well on the left. On the left, they think that if you're a conservative, you make over two and fifty dollars a year. Meanwhile, about two p of conservatives, you know, they thought something like, you know, thirty or some huge number. So the left has been brainwashed into thinking that the um that that conservatives are rich and we're the party of Wall Street where the fat cat party you want. We're just the party of like working and trying to keep enough money to pay

your bills. We're just the party of wanting to pay the mortgage and raise a family and not feel like the government is completely emptying out your pockets all the time to pay for illegals, to pay for you know, the massive welfare stay, to pay for all kinds of stuff. Right. So, and then the study also said that conservatives are of the mind that liberals are there though there's a much greater percentage of liberals who fall in the LGBT community,

essentially liberals. There are many more liberals who are gay and lesbian, uh than is actually reflecting the population. I think according to this five thirty study, we thought we conservatives thought it was and in reality. It was like, that's what the reality is. But I would respond to that with, well, that's because on the left that's raised to such a big issue, gender identity issues, gender equality issues.

These are talked about as being massively important issues that need a tremendous amount of focus, and there's all these hurdles that must still be overcoming. A lot of us look at this and say, well, there must be something we're missing. You know, there must be a lot more transgender folks than I thought, because we spend a lot

of time talking about the transgender community. Turns out, transgender communities less than one percent of the population, right, But there must be a lot of them because the left talks about it all the time. Oh no, it's for largely political reasons that they do, but that they think

that we are rich or very well off overwhelming. It just goes to show you that one a lot of liberals don't really know any conservatives, which is troubling, and two, they certainly don't know why we believe what we believe. And this is why I get to the what I'm doing on Rising every morning. I'm trying to make Crystal and therefore anybody because she brings her own audience to this Right, there are progressives will watch that show. I won't want them to have a better understanding of what

our side thinks. I am hoping that I will get an email at some point in time that someone who was a progressive when they started watching that show, or maybe who listens to this radio show too. I have liberals who listen to this show. I have never made a liberal convert on this show that I know that I know of yet that has come out and said

you converted me. I do have liberals, though, and let's say, you know, I think you're smart and I appreciate what you do, even though I I don't agree with you. But I am hoping that on Rising, which is hill dot TV slash Rising Thills, you wanna watch it, I will make a full on conversion of somebody, brings somebody over from being a progressive to being a conservative. It's gonna take it. I've all been to the year three weeks, right, It's gonna take six months. But I think I'll get there,

and that's what I'm trying to do. I don't really know if it's possible, don't really know if it's a fool's errand and that's why. And I'll tell you this. The only I only agree to do that TV show if it was understood it that my radio show is sacred, untouched, unchanged. I'm in charge. No one touches this. This is a totally separate entity, and it's just me, Premiere Networks, and all of you. And that's so that was a ironclad and that is the case. Right, So I don't think

this show never changes. Um wondering if I can make the other show work with what I'm trying to do, which is to bring over some converts and explain to the other side why we think what we think because we're right. We're right. So that's my version of of hashtag walk away. What I'm doing on Rising each morning, on on this show on hill Dot TV, that is my version of the walk away meme. I want liberals because remember I gotta I've got a far left progressive

co host with a with a considerable following. I want some of her people to see the world the way I see understand why I see the world way way I do, and you as well, why you see it that way, and they'll come join our team. And that to me is real success. Anybody can just yell and scream and talk about how crappy the other side these days, and anyone can slice and dice them, although not as well as we do here in the Hut. We'll be

right there. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Fake news and enemy of the people. I would suggest one of two things. Either the entire press corps walk out of the briefing room. Why should they put on air a message that is a coded word to every nutcase in America to come after them, so get up and leave, or in unison, holler back. They sit there, they take it, they recorded. We have to be there. We have to let them say their peace. No, you

don't um. Your lives are all in danger. Your lives are on the line. We're not going to let these people go through life unscathed. Sarah Huckaby has no right to live a life of no fuss, no muss, after lying to the press, after inciting against the press. These people should be made uncomfortable. And I think that's a life sentence. Frankly, that's supposed to be a conservative everybody.

According to Washington Post at least, that is Jennifer Rubin, who exists only to antagonize people that she pretends to be fighting alongside. Ideologically, she is a trojan horse conservative. I've talked about them for a long time. The mainstream media, the fake news love to use these people because they're such They think effective propaganda tools against their ideological enemies.

You see, to have a defect or from the right is oh so much more fantastic, Uh, is owe so much more fantastic for their purposes, is than to actually have somebody who has to make a fair and honest argument about why conservatism is wrong. And Reuben though, on this issue in particular, it's just a nutcase saying that a life sentence of making Sarah Sanders uncomfortable is something that this is somebody who says she's a conservative, she

would advocate for. That just goes to show you that there is no there is no decency anymore, there is no morality anymore. There's only anti Trumpism and uh and she continues, she goes a bit further on this. This is again the Washington Posts favorite conservative columns. She has a blog They're called right Turn at the Washington Post. Here's what she has to say about the Supreme Court

and abortion play five. Ms Collins and Ms Murkowski. The two women Republicans um that they will be held responsible. They are doing the dance. They are pretending that because nominee says this is all about president, that they can vote for him. No, the message to those two women, by Democrats, by pro choice women in those two states, by the entire states of Maine and Alaska, has to be simple. You vote for this Ms Collins, Ms Murkowski,

you have voted to criminalize abortion. This is on you, and we're not going to accept these nonsense excuses that well, because he said he was in favor of presidentis won't count you can vote for him. No, it has to be all out on the ground in those states. Those women have to be put under a glaring light um, so that they finally have to make a choice that actually does go against their party, unless they were just phony pro choice women all along, which is distinctly possible.

Phony Huh, you mean like writing under the vine line of being on the right when you are in fact a trojan horse operating for the other side. She's the equivalent of an ideological spy. Right she pretends to be on our side of the aisle, so she can just get as much information as she can, and she can she can fight in our uniform, right this is it

reminds me of an Afghanistan. You know, you'll have uh green on blue violands where you of somebody who is you know, like Afghan military who were an Afgan military uniform or sometimes is Afghan military, and we'll try to take out and sometimes does take out some of our guys. You know, she's like that. I mean, she's not a a Trump Conservative, but she's not a conservative at all. She's not a Republican at all. She is fight actively

fighting for the other side. And that the Washington Post still holds her up as a conservative is an embarrassment. I mean they should be embarrassed, but I think they're incapable of embarrassment. Uh, it's atrocious. There's no attempt at honesty,

there's no intellectual integrity unless whatsoever. And I mean to have somebody on the right these days who is advocating not just for abortion, which this woman is, which Jennifer Rubin is, I mean she may be that she in some ways, she may be the most dishonest calumnist in America. My friend Charles Cooke over at National Review. If you haven't seen it, just did a I mean it is. It is truly an epic takedown, and people use that and it wasn't mean or nasty. It was just she

wrote this a year ago. This is what she writes now. She wrote this eighteen months ago, this is what she writes now. A woman has no ideological core, no principles, nothing, but that makes her effective for the left, don't you see, Because the fact that she's such a disaster and only attacks her own makes her the perfect conservative in the eyes of the Washington Post. And this is the best they can do. I'm sure they pay her real money to write a blog or write her columns over there.

I'm sure they pay her pretty well, the Washington Post, and they got that Bezos money. This is why I just don't want to hear the Washington Post, the New York Times. They're not just revered papers that are doing their best to prevent the facts. They are propaganda organs. There's a lot of lyne going on on a on a regular basis at these organizations. I don't mean about the facts, I mean about editorial bent. I mean about

the way they construct the narrative. And then just on anyone who advocates for this harassed Trump administra Asian officials as a means of protest, is somebody that I've got a problem with. Anybody that's really advocating that I want have words with them, because it's completely over the line. All right, we got we got roll call come out up here in just a moment, team, so stick around, rock and roll, fellow patriots. Time to spread some freedom

coast to coast. It's time for roll call. All right, let's get into the roll call. But first, of course, please do download the Freedom Hunt with Buck Sexton podcast if you are a podcast listener already, it's under the Buck Sexton Show. You'll see that extra podcast thrown in there. And also we should be getting it up on Stitcher. If it's not there already, please do download and listen to it whenever you get a chance. Planning on another

one this week, probably by Thursday Friday at the latest. Alright, first up here, Karen right watching only the Strong Fun movie. I have done lots of work with underprivileged kids. Their parents often don't get them routine dental care. Let alone orthodontia and tooth bleaching, so they usually don't have perfect teeth like all the actors in the movie. Uh, but you don't watch martial arts movies for grim reality. Alright, Karen, Well that's thank you for sharing your thoughts on that one.

I'm I'm happy but surprised you like only the strong It is funnest thing along though, bah no, no way, bah not. You know what I mean. If you see the movie. There's a lot of that going on. All right, Hey, Buck, I've noticed this is from Sean. Every time you do your commercial for dig Defense, you list off the places it's available, and one of those men Areds you always pronounce in correct equally, it's pronounced Minard's, and you can hear their jingle at the link below. Oh man, I've

been staying wrong Minard's, Menard's Minards. Sorry Minard's. There we go. All right, You're right on this one. Let's save her the flavor because it won't happen again. But no, seriously, Sean. Thanks. I I do appreciate being corrected when I'm doing live reads.

Need to get all that stuff right. Next up here we have Caroline, who writes I was viewing the text messages between Peter Struck and Lisa Page, which are re enacted and available in their entirety on YouTube, and was amused to see Lisa Page say that Mitch McConnell reminds her of a turtle. Regular listeners to your show note that you will also. You have also noted this likeness, calling him yourle the turtle. You and miss Page could

not be more ideologically supposed opposed. So if you agree on this one thing, it must be pretty evident Mitch is in fact a turtle. She'll tie well, Carol, I just tease Mitch a little bit. We hope that he comes on Well Radio maybe, but really want to get him on my TV show Hill dot TV Slash Rising. We are hoping to get the majority leader to come and hang out with us. That is the plan, Michael, right. Uh, today's modern gypsies media gypsies are pretty much rootless, and

I count myself among them. No place ever felt particularly like home, and I've always lamented that. So that's one of the reason why I missed these old guys who wrote and reported on the place as they called home. Oh look at you. Back to rolled up shirt sleeves with tie slightly Askew Indeed, Michael, Indeed, and yeah, it's true about media these days. Everyone has to bounce all over the place. You only advance your career by making

your way into bigger markets usually. And if you're gonna just be operating in the digital space, then in a sense, you're in every market. You know, if you're not local, if you're in local news, you gotta keep pushing to it's a bigger and bigger places. If you're in national level digital news, you're competing against everybody else off the bat, and so your local sense sensibility doesn't really matter all true, Keith rights Buck. When are we going to see a

direct link to your show in the Hills phone app? Keith, that is a very good question. Um I will find out from our tech team here at the Hill dot com. I do not know, but you ask an important questions, so I will look into it. Thomas writes, swoop here we go, good show today on Rising Buck, Crystal Ball and the louder voices on the left support this insane campaign to abolish ice, using their mantra of caged babies to exaggerate concern. It's a maid to order optics gift

for the media. What they failed to discuss is all the activity behind the curtains by ICE to secure this country from terrorists and violent illegal criminals. The effort by the media and bias politicians to reignite fear of a nuclear war with North Korea is fabricated shields. Hie from Thomas Thomas, Look, I totally agree, and media is playing all kinds of games with this stuff. They're not being

honest about what's really going on to the border. They're also not being honest about what's really going on with the North Korea deal. But we would expect nothing less, right, And this is how they are, This is who they are, and this is the way things will continue from the mainstream media, No no question about it, alright. Next up here, Liam rights buck love the show and the taste of black rifle coffee. Will Liam, you are? You are a

man of exceptional taste. Question is it a feasible scenario and desirable one for Trump to just fire Sessions, special counsel, the Deputy Attorney General, end it all and just publish all the documents, especially all the texts between the two FBI as plotting his downfall. I'm sorry, but in the court of public opinion, to me the documents with Trump, anything the liberal media coul launch against him. Your thoughts, Liam, I understand the complete lack of willingness to sit around.

It's not even lack of patients, right, because we've been patient. I understand the desire to just get to the bottom of this and make it all end. But I do think that it would in some ways be playing into the left hands for Trump to just go all in, all out and take all the information and just put it out there, right because there would be some stuff that's probably legitimately sensitive, some of it, most of it not.

But now there would be some things that we should definitely uh want to keep from public view for reasons of safety or sources and methods. But I think that the best thing now is to let this thing play out, because it's just going to continue on as is, and it's going nowhere, folks, It's going nowhere. And when we turn back and look at this, you know, one thing that the left doesn't really understand is that we remember stuff.

We remember the way the mainstream media completely debase themselves in order to worship at the altar of Barack Obama, and that effects our willingness to listen to them now on other issues. Right, we know that for eight years, like Obama's a genius, is incredible, he's perfect and so now and they say, oh, no, we're just doing our jobs, are just speaking truth to power on the White House, Like, yeah, we know what truth to power is when it's a

Democrat you like in the White House. Very different thing. So we also will remember how nasty and underhanded and disrespectful they've been in this whole Special Council process, the Russia collusion fantasy. They're gonna hope that it just fades away, that they can just move on to the next thing after they've after they've tried this, they'll move on to something else. Right, They'll have some other scandal they'll sink

their teeth into. And I think it's because the modern left really can't win the argument on any important national issue based on their position right, based on the facts. They have to come up with these emotionally compelling narratives to take the place of real policy debate. That's what I see happening. Alright, Chuck is next here. Let's try this roll call question. Buck Love the new show. What are your thoughts on am Low winning the Mexican election?

Will he make it worse if possible, or better for Mexicans? Shields, hie and Maga from Chuck. Well, Chuck, I talked a bit about this on the show, as you know, so if you missed that, please go back and check out that part of it. This is a good plug for the podcast, but I would also say that, you know, it's I'm very just to repeat, I'm very skeptical that am Low is going to be a good thing for Mexico and a good thing for us. I think you're gonna see some big problems that come out of this.

I really do all right. Next up here, Steve Shields hie Buck. I've been a loyal fan for many years and greatly appreciate all that you do to get out the conservative message. The problem that I have with rising is that it is an other opportunity for liberals to propagate their nonsense. They already have the mainstream media, Hollywood, and universities as mouthpieces. They don't need any more outlets

for their dangerous message. I know you're just being an honorable guy, but we don't need to give the left more opportunities to damage our country. I consider myself a constitutional libertarian, and I would rather see you and a libertarian host on Rising rather than just another misguided left. Is just my two cents. Keep up the good work.

Cember five, from a United States Marine Corps Vietnam vet. Well, Steve, like, I totally respect to appreciate your opinion on this one, and I'll just say that you know, if you want, if you want unfiltered, unadulterated, pure, uh freedom Hunt, you just come here to the show and of course the Freedom Hunt podcast, but just come here to the Bucks Exton show, because this is where I just get to give you exactly what it is, how it is. I don't have to be polite to anyone. I don't have

to play any games. I'm trying something else with this show. We'll see if it works. You know, I'm watching many of the show I was back, and I certainly feel like sometimes, you know, my polite nature is. It's something I need to need to keep an eye on and and ultimately we'll just see if it's if it's functioning well.

The point of it is to create a dialogue on air with Rising Hill dot TV slash rising, or we can see if we can actually have an exchange of ideas and maybe I can bring Crystal over to my side a little bit on some things, and maybe she can do the same thing with me without shaming conservatives or owning libs. That's our mantra. That's our mantra every day on the show. We do not shame conservatives. We do not own the libs. Uh. Is it possible, though,

my friend? I don't know. It's really hard the especially these days, you know, and there are just some issues as we get deeper and deeper into the fight over abortion and the Supreme Court, for example, I don't I don't have a moderate you know, moderation button really on abortion issues. I don't have that. Well, you know, maybe I'm kind of okay that. No, I don't. I don't have that. It just doesn't exist. So that could be something we're gonna I'm gonna have to watch out for

in the show. And I don't know what that really means. The good news is though, that you're listening to radio show, and the radio show is always going to be this, which is just me getting to tell you what matters and us to have a discussion about how we feel about all the things that are happening in this country.
