Kavanaugh Chaos

actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, break You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins, set no Welcome everyone to this confirmation hearing on a nomination of Mr Chairman Brett Kavanaugh, Mr Chairman, to serve as Associate Justice. Mr Chairman, I'd like to be recognized for a question

before we proceed. I've been through nine Supreme Court hearings, Mr Chairman, I have the opportunity to respond to my colleague from Texas because he is directly challenged, you're out of order. Well, I was just going to say some things that portion of today's hearing with his testimony tomorrow morning, Mr Chairman, when will we review Senator Blumenthal's motion to

a journ, motion to adjourn. Mr Chairman, I think we're entitled to a vote on it, Mr Chairman, If I might add an additional point, and Mr Chairman, Mr Chairman, or I agree with my colleague Senator Harris, Mr Chairman, law class and documents that we haven't everyone else. Mr Chairman, If I may go on to what I believe was a personal I'd like to have you give Senator Feinstein the courtesy of listening to her oldening statement or read or analyze you're you're out of order. I'll proceed. We

cannot possibly move forward. Mr Chamber extend the very warm Well there are two daughters. Well, I was just going to say some things. Pandemonium down on Capitol Hill today, folks, welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. That was just a just a taste of what went on there. So that was from the Senate side. Now you had a bunch of senators acting like a bunch of cry babies. They're they're pulling all these procedural and they're not even really

this is the equivalent, folks. It's not parliamentary procedure that they're relying on here. It's not oh, emotion to to do this and and it's actually gonna happen. This is the equivalent of we we can't do this because I need a potty break. I need a potty break. We can't confirm him. Well, that's not a thing. That's not a rule. There's no potty break exception to the constitution. What what do you mean you you don't have time to review that. You've had eight weeks or have you

all kinds of documents? These are the documents that have been produced. That's it, that's what you got, deal with it. We wait, we need more time. Let me guess by November seven, then they might be able to make a determination. This whole thing was ridiculous today, but it was tough to tell who was more more ridiculous that the senators or the the insane I mean insane left wing protesters. Um,

you know, Corey Corey Booker. For example, on the Senate side, he kept saying that he wouldn't hire an intern if he only saw of his resume. This was a line he repeated ad nauseum. You know, I wouldn't hire somebody if only the resume. And I just want to note for the senator that if you're intern applicant submitted a four hundred thousand page resume, you would call the Capitol police on him. Okay, you wouldn't say where's pages. It's the dumbest analogy I've ever heard in my life. This

guy keeps just digging into it. It's it's just it's poss z are absolutely positively bizarre. But you know, it was never about the documents, folks. It was never anything that they There was never any principle involved here um and the left was just nuts today the left was completely losing it. Let's see we've got here. Play to me a favor, play fifteen and then fourteen Wat's Rachel an, I love Sandy, Sandy t I read half poe as is a guy. Oh well, she convinced me, like whatever

that screeching. There's an attack on women's rights and an attack on democracy. Shut this hearing down. This hearing is an attack on women's rights and an attack on democracy. Shut this hearing down. Now, shut down hearing down, Shut this hearing down. This is an attack on women's rights and democracy. How is it? How is the hearing an attack on Think about this? What if the hearing? What if they decided, you know, not not to vote for Kapital.

How is the hearing itself? I mean, these people are imbeciles, absolute imbeciles. And you know, at the rate they were being tossed out of that room, I wonder if MSNBC's ratings are gonna go down tonight because they've got some people that might have to get out of jail. You know, this is this is a bunch of louns and folks. I can't help but notice this didn't happen during the

Hagan or so do my oar hearings. You didn't have people like, you know, my name's my name's Bob, and uh I'm you know, uh work at own an autobought a shop downtown and and I'm married and have three children. And I'm just here to stream and yell in the back of the room because I I hate the liberals, right, I mean, you know, you don't get people on the right doing this. We don't do this. Our people, our side just does not do this. I don't know what else to say. You know, uh we we we don't.

We don't show up at these hearings and act like maniacs. We we don't have a guy named named Bill in accounting from you know, Massachusetts, who's uh, you know, traditional Republican who shows up and he's like, well, I really disapprove of so do my oar and okagan, and I'm going to interrupt the hearing. Now, you know, we don't have that. We don't do that. I'm a constitutional conservative

and I also believe in the Second Amendment. And now I'll let me yelling scream this is a thing that the progressive left does and we're not supposed to remark on this right like they We knew they were gonna be lunatics at the hearing. Linda's are sore was there, you know, has to get has to get her, you know, two minutes of TV time or whatever. We knew that they would do it, and it was a a circus.

And you also had this notion that they should just so you have the crazy hecklers trying to shut it down, and you even had senators basically trying to shut it down. Bloomenthal, who is just so gross. Bloomenthal was was trying to just say that the hearing shouldn't even happen. Play ten and you're rightly, press chairman, if if we cannot be recognized.

I moved to a journe the American People. Chairman. I moved to a journ directly from Judge seven all, Mr Chairman, I moved to a journ and Mr Chairman, we have been denied. We have been denied real access to the documents. We need to advise German regular orders, which turns this hearing into a charade and a mockery of our norms. Mr Chairman, I therefore moved to her during this hearing. Okay, these people are crazy. These people are nuts. You know.

They're all all a bunch of Hillary all a bunch of Hillary voters back there, folks, just remember that, you know, I know that. It's look, on the one hand, it's just amusing that this is uh that these are They're all Democrats back there, They're all leftists that are screaming. Yeah, yeah, I'm just just yelling and oh yeah, she's convinced me whatever. She's shrieking back there, and now I must think she's right.

I want to remind all of us of this, and I want to take the time to speak to you about it, because one of the pitches that you hear from Democrats is, you know, we need more responsible adult leadership in uh you know back back in the White House that we need serious politicians not like Trump to

be in charge. And then you see this, Not only do you have the Democrats base showing us who they are, which is a bunch of lunatics, a bunch of maniacs who have no respect, no decorum, no public decency whatsoever, and just thinking and are just mad with baby ish rage. And then you get the Democrats who are just making

fools of themselves. If they want to oppose Kavanaugh because he's not going to be some leftist who gives them whatever they want, fine, you know, if that's the approach that they want to take, if if they are really gonna uh make this completely and overtly political, all right, you know that's that's at least an argument. But to say that they don't have the documents and all this

other stuff is just bunk. And by the way, before you before some of you may be thinking, buck, it's not fair to to blame the Democrats for the protesters. They didn't most of the Democrats senators there, they didn't shut them down, they weren't rebuking them. Here's, uh, what what Elizabeth Warren said, play sixteen. All these protesters out here today, I'm glad you're here. They're exercising the Now.

To be fair, I would I would assume that in that case she's talking about some protesters probably who are outside of the actual gallery Harry is happening. But she likes the protesters. Well, what are they doing exactly? What do they think they're accomplishing other than just harassing people

walking in and out of the building. The whole notion of protests and folks the protest movements of the sixties and getting a massive of people together on the streets and causing a spectacle, which is what what a protest is. It is meant to be seen by people. This is really an outmoded thing that um now, when you look at it, it doesn't take into account that you don't have to do this. There's so many ways to organize and get your message out without shrieking and yelling at say,

but there's a protest culture on the left. They like to do this. This goes to a Lynsky. Lynsky said, for for the purposes of of left wing organizing an active activism, you know, you want your activities to be fun and people like they like to do this on the left, they like to protest. That makes them feel relevant and powerful and virtuous and good and you know all that stuff. That's why they sit out there and say these things. That's why, uh, they would waste everyone's

time by by shrieking at this hearing. Um. It is only the left though, that you see this stuff. It is only a leftist tendency. Um. And you know, it's tough to tell who was worse. You know, on the on the one hand, you had all of these uh senators who were just acting like complete clowns, I mean really really low grade stuff from them, and I don't

expect much from Democrats senators. And then on the on the other hand, you have these these crazy left wing activist protester types who just have no respect whatsoever for anything. And we're just on day one, folks. This is just the beginning of this. It's only it's only gonna get worse. It's only gonna get worse. Um. Well, we will continue

to watch it. I mean, at the end of this, I gotta say, I think capital gets through, which is a huge win for Trump in the administration and a great thing for I don't want to say concerned them just for constitutional jurisprudence. This whole, this whole idea of a of a court that's divided four four and one with a swing vote, this is a farce. I don't want judges that are on one one ideological side or the other. I want judges who look at the law

and interpret the law. That's what I want. I don't want judges who come up with their own policy preferences and replace the law with that Democrats do. This is this is eight. We're seeing a major difference here in philosophy about what the Supreme Court should really be all about. Um And I just think that that you know that, this is this is worth every everybody remembering. You know. The other thing, Well, let let me get more into what you can expect from the Democrats of the next

few days. Eight four five buck uh, we have much more coming. Will be right back. The whole argument is, you can be a conservative Republican president, but you gotta nominate a liberal to be fair to the country. That's absurd. What do you think Ruth Vader Ginsburgh came from. She's a general council with a c L. You wonderful person Clinton. It didn't bother anybody for Clinton to nominate Briar while

he was under investigation. Who actually did it? This is shaping up to be the hypocrisy hearing to do in the Senate. Know that actually came up as well when I had when I interviewed UH actor and activist Elissa Milano, as she said, well, you know, Trump's uninvestigation. He shouldn't be able to UH, he shouldn't be able to appoint anyone. I said, well, Clinton was under investigation, so how could

you know? Unprecedented? We'll talk more about unprecedented later. This concept of Trump is doing something that no one's ever done except for the last president before him, and probably the one before that. But you know, the the the arguments being made by Senate Democrats here are not arguments made really in good faith. And that's why I think that's very important for us all to to keep in

mind as we go through this. The arguments that the Democrats are making are the democrats in the Senate are are not things that we should be forced to take seriously. You know, for one thing, there'll be a lot of there's no political litmus test for the Supreme Court nominees. You'll you'll hear that a lot, but then they'll ask

a bunch of political litmus test questions. It's very tiresome, but it is a constant in these hearings, and it's a constant that is reliant on a faulty sensibility or fault the idea of what the Democrats, or rather what the Supreme Court is supposed to do and how it really functions as a coequal branch of government. Um. But I mean, it was, it was, it was a bad day. I think for the Democrats there. They're going after the Scott.

I'll talk to you more about Kavana on a moment, and then we'll get into Woowards book and socialism and healthcare in this country. I got, I got a lot for you and the rest of the show. And we're not just talking. I know a lot of people are gonna just beat the whole hearings thing into the ground here to talk about it all day, all night, and it's it's really not worth that much of our time.

But I mean, as my friend Kim Strassol wrote today, Senate Dems in the Kavanaugh hearing, all we're asking is for Republicans to throw over all president and procedure so we can pretend we didn't lose an election. That's right, That's what this is really about. Democrats are throwing a tantrum because elections have consequences, and they don't like this particular consequence one bit. It is going to boost conservative support for this president, especially going into the mid terms.

It's going to unify the party. It also will help those of us who you know, don't don't see eye to eye with Trump and all of his stylistic and personal matters. But signed on for the agenda, signed on for for what he could produce, what he could do, what he could accomplish. This is big once you get from but gorcia as the snark has been from the never trumpers too. But Gorcich and but Kavanaugh get rid

of the butts. It's a lot, uh that that is a multi generational win for conservatives and conservative and for constitutionalism. So we will have Trump to thank for that, assuming this doesn't go off the ray. Else. I do have my worries. I do have my worries that uh Flake might defect. I think he will. I think Flake might be the be a no vote on Kavanaugh and then all you need is one other weak, quizzling Republican one other one too, and then you've got a real problem

on your hands. So I'm not treating this as as mission accomplished already. I'm I'm holding out on that until we get we get quite a bit more. But I wanted to talk to you more about Kavanaugh because you know, the efforts to discredit him and the efforts to um go after him have been really disgraceful. Uh. And this is a guy who he's he's as good as it gets as a as a jurist, his resume, his background,

his temperament, everything. So let's let's look at the positive side, or the real side, I should say, of what's going on here with Kavanaugh and who we're seeing on display here and what a great Supreme Court now Supreme Court justice he would be. Over the past eight weeks, I've witnessed firsthand the Senate's deep appreciation for the vital role of the American judiciary. I have at with sixty Senators,

including almost every member of this committee. Those meetings are sometimes referred to as courtesy calls, but that term understates how substantive and personal our discussions have been. I have greatly enjoyed all sixty meetings. In listening to all of you, I have learned more about our country and the people you represent. Every Senator is devoted to public service in the public good, and I thank all the senators for their time and their thoughts. Guy sounds worse than Hitler

to me, folks. I mean, oh man, it's it's amazing to watch these Democrats just make make complete fools of themselves on this. It really is. Um. They they are so utterly shameless. Um, They're they're complete, They're they're just it's all kabuki theater. It's all meant to appeal to the base. I mean, they have different, uh, different emails going out from fundraising committees and and you know, packs and things, and senators are already on the while the

hearing is going on. Senators are already on the record saying that they won't vote for Kavanaugh. But they're acting like, well, I won't vote for him now because now you said you wouldn't vote for him a month ago, But now we're supposed to believe that you care. Now we're I mean, this thing about the documents is just completely completely insane. Um. And uh yet yet here we are, folks, here we are. You have uh so, just just to dig into the document component of this for a minute. You have four

hundred thousand pages that have been given. It's five times as much as we're ever handed over for any other any previous Supreme Court nominee. Four hundred thousand pages. Some pay ages that have to do with Kavanaugh's time in the White House have he was deputy counsel and then also uh he was um secretary. I forget what the

specific terminologies for the job. I'm blanking on it right now, but you know he was there, and and there's some executive privilege that applies to some of the documents, so he they're not his to give. But they still act like they still act like this is something well or relligant plot. If you want to hear uh, if you want to hear from Senator Leahy, for example, um, you

know here here's what he said. Play thirteen. We've received used a half a chairman grasses partial records request, meaning we're moving forward even though we've received a fraction of the records. Even Republicans claim they needed to bet your nomination just a few weeks ago, and then we received additional for two thousand pages form the record a few hours ago. The notion that anyone here has properly reviewed them or even seeing them at all, is laughable. It's laughable.

It doesn't pass the giggle test. And any claim this has been a thorough transparent processes downright or William, This is the most incomplete, most partisans at least transparent vetting for any Supreme Court nominee I've ever seen. Today. The Senate is not simply phoning in our vetting obligation. Quit discarding you. It's not only shameful, it's a shape. Thanks centaer lady. That's really that's really whatever that was, that's really helpful. Uh. You know they really they make jackasses

themselves today. They did they they I don't want to hear anymore from liberals about how, you know, uh, institutions are being undermined because liberals made the Senate look like an absolute clown show today. Liberals made the Senate look ridiculous and there their arguments are nonsensical, they are completely self refuting. I mean, you you give them five minutes to talk in a one minute uh one minute, there's the problem is that, you know, he's not gonna support

Roe v. Wade or something. And then the next minute it's the documentar view. In the next minute it's well, well, you know, which is it? I mean, and are we really supposed to believe it's all these things or is it just they're having a tantrum? And that that's what today was. Today it was a tantrum. It was a bad look, a bad look for the Senate um and oh one of these you know, Bluementhal said something about how no one can select a judge in his own case.

And that's what the president is doing here, selecting, potentially doing here selecting a judge in the Supreme Court. Bluementhal. Who it's just he's so, what's that phone where we use here on the show? Only aginists, Bluementhal, So only Aginius. Uh. He's established a standard, I don't want to be very

clear about this. He's established a standard where no president could ever pick any Supreme Court justice because of the theoretical premise that the president may at a future time be in legal jeopardy that goes up to the Supreme Court. Bluementhal's objection if if, for example, there was already a case making its way up to the Supreme Court. Might might have some limited merit, but but at least it would it wouldn't be it wouldn't be the rantings of

a crazy person. I mean, this is just bizarro. This is not This is not something that anybody could look at and really get into an the analysis of, because ultimately, this is just shameful. And the Democrats conduct conduct today has been absolutely shameful. There is no excuse for it. It doesn't matter what you think about Trump. Uh, this is about a highly qualified nominee for a co equal branch of of government and Democrats. Democrats, that was kind

of footing Democrats. They're acting like a bunch of screaming Brady children, they really are, and they did not comport themselves well today at all. But maybe this is a good thing. I think it's a good thing for everybody to have it be remembered that this is, this is what we were up against. That's why we started the show with just what a what a complete lib con one freak out this was. And and it also just goes to show you one Supreme court, one Supreme Court

pick should not matter so much. It matters so much to the left because they have gone to the Supreme Court. They have used Supreme Court as their own little super legislature to give them some of their some of their biggest victories, especially in the culture War. But let's be honest. I mean this is for for decades now. I can give you, uh, case after case where on a very contentious issue, the Democrats got what they wanted via the

Supreme Court. The only really central and contentious Supreme Court case that really went against the went against the left in recent memory is d C v. Heller. The Supreme Court stretched itself into a pretzel to save Obamacare. Not once, but twice Supreme Court decided that that that game marriage was the law of the land. The Supreme Court, you know, just just obviously abortion which is which is bad law.

Even if you think, even if you think a woman should have the right to choose an abortion, let's not just say right to choose, right to choose an abortion. It's not the right to choose what paper towel, what paper towel to buy. It's not the right to choose what her major in college. Is the right to choose an abortion? Uh? And in fact, protect as a constitutional right access to an abortion, and a taxpayer should pay for abortions, and uh, you know this, this is it's

not just that somebody has the right to choose. What what the left is really enshrined now is the right to an abortion right, meaning that the right to if you choose this, uh, it is it is given to you via in many cases taxpayer, taxpayer funded procedures. And people say, oh, buck, let's not that's a lie, folks. Uh, funds are fungible. Okay, when when you give hundreds of millions dollars a planned parenthood, you're given hundreds of millions dollars to an abortion provider. As it is not this

is not that hard, it's not that complicated. That's all figly if it's a lie. Um, But you know, they are so worried that they might lose these things. And the worst thing that can happen from the left perspective on Roe v. Wade is and I don't even think this is gonna happen, which would be a show, aim because I would love to see. I mean, it should happen ethically for the soul of the United States. Roe v.

Wade should be overturned. Um. And you know it is the it is the greatest moral stain on this country since slavery, no question, no question. Um, But it would probably just revert back. I mean, it would just revert back to the states. Uh, and then you would still have abortion legal in a number of states, which would be unfortunate, but that's the way it would go. So it's not even like this would be outlawed everywhere. There's not gonna be a federal law. Well that's actually interesting.

Maybe at some point there would try to they would try to. Well that would really could you imagine the fight over federal law outlaw abortion. But see the we're having a real discussion about this here. The Democrats they just want to They just want to start a food fight and make a lot of noise and try to raise money and use this just to just exploit this issue in whatever way they can and in as many ways as they can. And that's really the way that

they approach this. Uh, this whole hearing situation. I do are talking about Woodward's book. Um, there's a lot of scuttle butt around this coming up. There's even audio. It's not not that exciting, but we got a little bit of it for you of the President talking to the wood Word about the book, this Bob Woodword of uh

Watergate fame, and I haven't. I'm trying to get him booked. Look, everyone's gonna, you know Woodward as a media darling, and everybody's gonna, you know, want this guy on their shows everything. We're trying to get him booked for both Rising and for radio. And I want to get an early copy of his book, which I have not been able to do quite yet. But there's some stuff in there that I just I just have a really hard time believing. I'm not saying nobody said it. I'm just I'm saying

I don't think that it's true. But we'll talk about some of those exclusive allegations in just a moment. I have an office. You have the office number. I have an office that's directly into my office. It doesn't matter. Let me tell you what matters. The on him is the best that's been in many, many decades. I'm just gonna get a lot better. And the country is doing

very well. That's what's important. Yes, sir, I thought of doing a good job kind of say, let's uh not talk about this because the book is done you need to know I made maximum effort. All Right, it's too bad. I'm just hearing about it. And I heard I did hear from Lindsey, but I'm just hearing about it. So we're gonna have a very inaccurate book. And that's too bad. But I don't blame you entirely, Okay, Well, accurate is that nobody's ever done a better job than I'm doing

as president. That I can tell you. So that's and that's the way a lot of people feel that know what's going on, and you'll see that over the years, but a lot of people feel that Bob so oh man, this president is a fighter. You gotta like it. You know, there areas he's not. You're not taking any guff from anybody. He's got Bob Woodwork, who's among the probably ten most revered big j journalists, you know, big time journalists in

in the media, the political media industrial complex. You know, they they love Bob because look, he he helped bring down Nixon, which is the all time greatest thing that the media thinks it's ever accomplished. I mean, the the destruction of the Nixon administration um was something that the that journalists that's that's the high water mark. That is what they yearned for, and Woodward was a part of that. So he's he has almost like a godlike status among

a lot of DC journalists. I mean, they just think of him as as uh, the cats, the cats me out? Does they even say that anymore? The cats pajamas? Brandon? What is that all? What's the cats? The bee's knees? Not? Come on, we're not in grade school. It's crazy talk, Brandon. You know the anyway, the Woodword book. But thank you for having that in Brandon. Uh, well, the Woodward Book. Well it's not out yet. I'm able to read it. But here's some of the stuff that that we're being told,

isn't it. You know. Let me just say before I get this, I don't think it's gonna change anyone's mind about anything. I don't think anyone's gonna read this Woodward book and be like, oh wow, you know this is I really don't like Trump anymore. It's really bad. I gotta it's not gonna happen. It's it's just it's just not gonna happen. I don't think it changed the thing. But here's how it goes, all right, he's in the

Washington Post. Quote John Dowd was convinced that President Trump would commit perjury if he talked to Special counsel Robert Mueller. So on January, the president's then personal attorney staged a practice session to try to make his point. In the White House residents, Dowd pepper Trump with questions about the Russia investigation, provoking stumbles, contradictions, and lies, until the President eventually lost his cool. This thing is that goddamn hoax.

Trump erupted at the start of a thirty minute rant that finished with him saying, I don't really want to testify. The dramatic and previously untold scene is recounted in Fear, a forthcoming book by Bob Wilbert that paints a harrying portrait of the Trump presidency based on in depth interviews. Uh, you know, Woodward depicts Trump's anger and paranoia about the Russia inquiry is unrelenting and at times paralyzing the West Wing for entire days, and quote, folks, but that's that's

not that strange. Why shouldn't the president, you know, let's let's just take a step back. Why shouldn't the president be furious about the Russia collusion hoax. If I were him, I'd be furious. The whole thing is a joke. The whole thing is preposterous. It never should have happened, It never should have been allowed to occur the way that it has. Do we do we really have to pretend otherwise?

Is it really our obligation to act like this this uh that that the president shouldn't be upset when he's clearly being ambushed by a pro Hillary media complex that's worked with some elements from within a cabal from the upper reaches of the dj and the FBI to take down a president. I'd be I'd be ticked off, my friends, I really would. So I don't think that's really I

don't think that's where that's strange. There. There's some other stuff though, where it gets it gets a little more Harry Here's Woodward quote describes an administrative coup, data and a nervous breakdown of the executive branch, with senior aids conspiring to pluck official papers from the president's desk so

he couldn't see or sign them. Again and again. Woodward recounts at length how Trump's national security team was shaken by his lack of curiosity and knowledge about world affairs, and his contempt for mainstream perspectives of military and intelligence leaders.

At a national security meeting on January nineteenth, Trump Trump disregarded the significance of the massive US military presence of the Korean Peninsula, including a special intelligence operation that allows the United States to detect a North Korean missile launched in seven seconds versus fifteen minutes from Alaska. According to Woodward, Trump questioned why government was spending resources in the region at all. We're doing this in order to prevent World

War three. Defense Secretary Jim Maddis told him, you know there there's look, there's some stuff in here that's that's a little uh, you know, a little gives you a moment of like, Okay, well is that true? That's that's not great. Uh. Chief of Staff John Kelly freaking lost his temper. According to this in one small meeting, Kelly stead of Trump. He's an idiot. It's pointless to try to convince him of anything. He's gone off. The rails were in crazy town. I don't even know why any

of us are here. This is the worst job I've ever had. I just don't believe that. Kelly said that. I don't believe it. Kelly's already denied it. So I'm not saying that Woodward is fabricating sources. But I am saying that maybe some of his sources were fabricating their accounts and their and the events. But I gotta read the book, and I will, and let's talk about socialism coming up. I talked about Simply Safe Home Security a lot on the show. It's because it's a great sist him.

I think it's a bit of overstatement, but if we're gonna really take it there, Okay, Well, let's let's look at what is at stake in these mid terms, my friends. Uh, let's let's talk a bit

about what we're dealing with here. On the one hand, you have a rallying around, for example, Ocasio Cortez, an open socialist who is willing to use the power of the state to take away your property, is willing to use the power of the state to determine much more about your life and to condemn a lot of people to if not misery, then a state enforced me the awcrity. They get all excited about her. So this is one.

This is what she said about rallying kids. These are young kids understand to fight Trump, play for kind of dr for the whole kid. And I am the Congress. I'm gonna be on the Democratic nominee her congress out here. So I'm gonna go to say she's gonna be fighting trauma. Yeah, that's crazy. Want I don't want to. She's she's propagandizing folks. She's propagandized into a bunch Okay, we can cut it, uh, propagandia into a bunch of small children about how she

needs their help to fight Trump. Well, I don't think they can vote because they're about ten. But you will note that the Democrats are increased really open about how they would like if if they could, Uh, they would like to have a voting age of I think sixteen. I'm seeing sometimes in these days, you know, they want to get the younger and less the more voters with limited life experience and knowledge of how the world works,

the better for Democrats. That is true. I mean, I'll give them credit for at least understanding who their bases, which is generally the the low information voter um. And and then you have so you have Okaza Cortet we're talking about what's at stake in the midterms. Then you've got Andrew Gillim down in Florida. What I saw today in a poll is up I think three points on on his opponents. So the Santis and Andrew Gillim was pushing a little bit because he's somebody who talks about,

as does Okazi Cortez, about single pair or there. They call it Medicare for all, usually because that sounds good. That's kind of the poll tested version of it. But here's what happens when you ask Andrew Gillham the would the mayor of Tallahassee would be governor of Florida if he has his way. Here's what happens when you ask about how he going to pay for his thirty three

trillion dollar healthcare plan plate Medicare for All. That plan would cost the government thirty three trillion with the t dollars over the next decade, which obviously would require a significant a tax increase. Are you ready to tell the people of Florida that they need to pay a lot more in taxes to fund your healthcare plan. Well, let me first say there was also a report data that showed that should we move to cover more people through a Medicare for all system, we could actually save the

system trillions over an extended period of time. That you need to raise taxes? Fair? So what I what I would say is, first of all, and I want to be clear about this, the state of Florida could not take this road by itself. Taxes would have to be raised. Is that is that fair? Do you agree with that? I? I don't buy that. And how do you find that kind of money for the government without raising taxes? So, first I'd say one, Florida could not do it by itself.

But secondly, we have the opportunity to expand medicaid for over seven hundred thousand of the most medically needy people here in the state of Florida. My governor and legislature refused to do that. Do you know it costs us about six billion dollars in money that should have come from the federal government to the State of Florida that we never received. I remember growing up as a kid having to wait for the mobile dental clinic to come through the neighborhood in order to have my teeth clean.

I know the biggest concerned experiences as a government official. You have to make it work, and you have to make the numbers work. And so I still don't understand how you would do it without raising taxes. So the first step we would take is expand medicaid and pulled down about six billion dollars a year from the federal government on the Santis and Donald Trump have worked. Let me, let me just get it. You're less affordable, will you? Will you say that you will not support raising taxes?

Is to make your healthcare plan work, we will increase taxes. Well, what took you so long to get there, my friend? I know that was kind of a brutal clip. Was really long, folks, Right, So hey, look, Dana Bash asking a real question, but it's not even really a question. Of course, he has to raise taxes. He has to raise taxes like you've never seen to even think about doing this. By the way, the whole thing about how Florida camp, you know that's not true. Californias think about

doing this. New York is thinking about doing this. At least they say they are. They can't make the math work. But you know, this is where this is where Democrats have a have a huge problem. They they talk about single pair. Well, the way Medicare for all is a misnomer. The Bernie Sanders Plan, which is generally used as the template for what the left in this country wants, isn't Medicare for all Because they say that they want to

get rid of copays deductibles. Medicare has those. And by the way, there are limits on Medicare as well, meaning you know, not everything is covered by medic care just because you are over sixty five. That's why people have, uh, supplemental insurance that they buy, but they also have co pays, and there's you know, there there are contributions that are made by people who are covered by Medicare. So so it's just not true to say that what they want

is Medicare for all. They want something that's even more expensive. The men they want medicare on steroids, they want even more money. Uh And and by the way, that also doesn't take into account if you do have a true single payer system, states and localities spend a lot of money on on healthcare that would all come out of that would all come come out as well, it would just be the federal government, and that you would have

savings from this. I mean, that's just laughable. You're you're gonna save, You're gonna cover, You're gonna Uncle Sam writing checks for everybody's health care, and you're gonna save the taxpayer money. I mean, he can't he can't be serious, right, This is ridiculous. By the way, even if we even if we take at face value that there would be some administrative or bureaucratic savings because of the centralization of healthcare, which is exactly what we're talking about here, centralized in

the state's hands. Don't forget it. Even if that's all true and that's what ends up happening, there is no way that there would not be a massive and I mean massive shortage in healthcare that would result from this. You know, there just was an article of the week that came out about how long you wait in Sweden for for cancer treatment, for example, and and how long you'll wait to see a specialist. And there are people

who have waited, you know, a year for surgery. Now, the way that they gauge these things, for example, with with cancer treatment is they'll they'll do it by by the outcome of the treatment. But I'm assuming that if you have cancer, depending on the kind of cancer it is, and you have to wait a year, that's a pretty anxiety filled even if you can afford to wait, meaning that the cancer is not so said that you're gonna die. Uh,

that's that's putting a lot on people. If you had any type of cancer, let me ask you would would you would you feel comfortable awaiting a year to have it or waiting even three or six months to have it addressed. Huh? You mean that there is a pain that people have to suffer through in the waiting process as well. Well. Isn't that something that you don't often hear about. I mean, there is rationing in the Swedish

health care system. And oh, by the way, in many of these European systems that the progressive left points to is the model for what we should have in ours. People like Gillham, there is there's increasingly people turning to private insurance. In Canada, a lot of people buy private insurance in addition with the state gives them because they want better health care, because their health care sucks. And oh,

by the way. The point about raising taxes, I mean, you're gonna have to raise taxes on and this is where the Bernie Sanders math that doesn't add up. You're talking about an expenditure for medicare for all of a

little over three trillion dollars a year. Keep in mind that right now, the the all federal spending right now, all of it military, Medicare, and Medicaid, everything, right, all the government agencies, all the king's horses and all the king's men, comes in around three point eight three point nine trillion. So you're gonna add three trillion onto that

of government spending. And you think that that's not going to crowd out the crowd out some of the private economy, that's not going to create massive market distortions and and and enormous shortages in the healthcare market. I mean that that is just folks, it's just delusional. They are being delusional. It's un serious. But gill him is, he's doing well because people want to believe in Santa Claus. They want

to believe in free stuff. They want to think there's a free lunch, and they've been told now increasingly that health care is a right. And if you have a right to something, well, then clearly the government has an obligation to provide that for you. You you have an inalienable right to healthcare, they are telling folks now, and it's it's it's not true, but nonetheless that's what they have convinced people on. Um and yeah, that's that's where

this is all heading. It's troubling, I know, but the the socialist impulse in this country is getting u not just louder, it's getting more and more in the in the open, and and people are embracing it. Single payer is popular a lot of folks now. Um And and you know, I've said it before. The fact that the average American household right now, I mean, this is a

big issue for the mid term. So it's the fact that the average American household is paying a lot more for much worse healthcare under Obamacare, and that Republicans are not pounding that from a messaging standpoint every day. Is it's it's just malpractice. It is it is abominable politics from the Republicans. I mean, they should be talking about how what's really happened is that all Obamacare did was within those pools of people that fall into Obamacare exchanges

is that it takes money. It takes money from the relatively young and healthy and gives it to the sick. And there's a shifting that means that if you're young and healthy, uh, you're paying more and your care is crappier, you have incredibly restricted doctor and hospital networks. Uh. And really what you're doing is subsidizing other sick people in the Obamacare market. That's what you were doing. Why And this is what people who are making forty dollars a year. Folks.

If you make uh, forty seven or forty eight, I think you don't qualify for any Obamacare subsidy at all. So let's say you're making fifty grand. Let's say fifty grand. Forget four to ge. You're making fifty grand trying to raise a family a two. You know, you're a husband or a wife wherever there earner is, and you're being told that your healthcare is now probably about fifty more expensive on a premium basis, and it's about fift crappier.

And this is for millions of people. This is our future if the Democrats are in charge of our healthcare. May make no mistake about it. This is what is waiting down the line for us. And I just wish that Republicans could get their act together and uh and make make the case. I just wish there was a more of a sense of urgency. You know, all the Trump stuff sucks the oxygen out of the room. I don't mean that Trump himself. I mean that all the stuff around him, the oh my gosh, the Russia collusion,

all this stuff. There's such a focus on that, and I'm I'm worried about Republicans in this midterm election. I'm worried that you know, we're we're gonna have a very unhappy November seven, and things are only gonna go downhill from there, my friends, Impeachment is gonna happen if they take the House.

Of course, right there at the church, we see reverend now we see the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. But it was so close to Aretha Franklin and is part of that legacy. Bill Clinton of course there and

he's going to give one of the eulogies. And also the Reverend Farakon, a very controversial leader from the Nation of uh of Islam, who is also there, So it's

an inclusive group. An inclusive group, she says, after after mentioning, uh, Louis Farakon by name an inclusive group controversial, she says, why do why do we let the media get away with saying far a coon he's controversial when he is a vile anti semit And you know, I don't I don't like to call people racist or anti Semitic or any of that unless it is he is will beyond the any kind of a question mark, right fair con

is is is a is a true anti Semite. And yet it's interesting that the Democrats there's still you know that they used to genuflect to him a little bit. Uh, and and they still have to kiss the ring when it comes to Al Sharpton. If you're gonna be a Democrat nominee for president, you know you gotta have Sharpton in your corner. And Sharpton was also there. And who's another complete and utter fraud. You know, this is a guy who you know, you go back and you learn

about the Tijuana Brawley case. If you haven't ever read about it or aren't familiar with it, I think it's it's well worth the time. To go back and revisit a man committed suicide because of the patently false allegations made by Tijuana Brawley that were broadcast and and supported all over the place by Al Sharpton, who was just exploiting it for his own his own purposes. And you know he's still treat he Look, he's got his own

show on MSNBC. And then you've got Farikon, who's there who you know you still have And by the way, folks, you know, I'm not gonna let this go. The media and I'm gonna talk later about Chuck Todd was written in editorial about how they're being mean to the media. You know that that Uh, it's just it's amazing. We'll we'll, we'll, we'll dive into that a little bit, but that you had a member of the press willing to suppress a photo of Obama warmly embracing Sharpton, he was sorry, warmly

embracing Farikon when he was running for president. That a reporter wouldn't want to run with that story because he or I guess it was a photographer for a news outlet, Uh, didn't want it to be a problem for Obama. That just tells. It tells you so much, doesn't it. I mean, this is the way they play the game. This is the way the other side, uh does things. And with with farikn you know, it's so interesting. You don't have in every presidential cycle, every news network saying about to

each Democrat nominee, do you support Louis Farrakhan's rhetoric? What do you think of this thing that farikon said? They do that though? Two Republicans who do who have never met or appeared with or talked to David Duke, but he'll be asked, you know, do do you? And this is not new with Trump, with the Trump era, by the way, They've been doing this for for decades now. Dude, do you support David Duke? You know what about David Duke?

David Duke is endorsed you. They'll make Republicans answer that charge. Why don't they? Why isn't every single Democrat who runs for runs for the presidency asked repeatedly on every major news network, what do you think about Louis Farrakhan? Do you support this terrible anti semitic statement? He said? Do you support that one? Oh, they won't do that. Huh, Yeah, that's such a shock. But they want to tell us

are objective folks. They want to tell us that they they have no bias, they have no motivation of them just just getting to the just getting to the truth. What a pilo, what a piling nonsense, you know. And you another another funeral where there was you know, yet to a very high profile funerals McCain and Ferra count I mean, pardon me, McCain and Aretha Franklin. And the opportunities were taken by both on on on both those occasions to attack Trump. I mean, there really is this

this anti Trump obsession. Can't there just be things that don't involve Trump? You know? Can't we have public gatherings to celebrate high profile individuals where where it doesn't turn into a Trump bash session. Wouldn't wouldn't that be nice? I guess I'm asking for I'm asking for too much. Maybe I don't know. It's crazy world we live in. I suppose what qualifies as un precedented in the era of Trump. You'll often hear this from people who are

incredibly critical of the president. They will say that what he has done is unprecedented in the history of this country, or they'll they'll suggest that, for example, the president saying anything about his Department of Justice or the Attorney General, that that that there is no analogous situation in modern

American history, and that this is just well beyond the pale. Well, the problem with unprecedented is that once you said it, you've made a statement, which is that this has not happened, something similar, has not happened before, there is no precedent for this, and then when you find out there is

a precedent, you tend to get upset. For example, today on Rising my show TV show in the Morning, we had on David from who's an erudite fellow and he is a never never well I'm sorry action to be fair, he doesn't call himself a never Trumper, but he's he's one of these people who says he's conservative but deeply, deeply critical of the President of the United States, thinks that he is a threat to the country and is terrible.

And he started talking about the the outrage of President Trump speaking about the workings of the Department of Justice, and then compared it. So this is the content of the conversation. He's talking about that, and then he compares it to Obama and he says, look at it, look at Obama. He even made such a small error about this, and everybody freaked out because Obama was so great. And then I had a little response for him, please play it. Being on Twitter, it would be the biggest scandal in

the history of the American government. I mean, just to put it in contrast, um, there was a sexual harassment case in the Navy. President Obama at a press conference said in the most general terms that he thought sexual abuse should not be tolerated and that for those people who do it there should be consequences. Didn't comment on

the individuals. That statement set off a firestorm and President Trump, sorry, President Obama was rebuked by the judge in the case for saying in general term sexual assault should not be tolerated during the period before the guilty man they were

convicted were sentenced. For the President of the United States to say on his official statement that he wants the Department of Justice not to prosecute people who are in his party, that's amazing that Obama said there was nothing to the email investigation that Hillary Clinton was under for violating classified protocols, which I had a t S clearance I can tell you anybody else would have gone to prison.

What's that got to do with anything? Well, that was a precedent set by a previous president United States speaking about an ongoing he said, there was nothing to Hillary Clinton's emails that was an open federal investigation. You're telling me that what Trump, what Trump is saying, or what he said about his attorney general. I mean you were just talking about is not calling for Okay, I mean, can we just notice the response, folks, this is like

the senior editor of The Atlantic. Notice the response, what's that got to do with anything? Are? Are you? Are you serious? You are? He he just outlined for you. You know, when Obama was president, he said something about how sexual assault was bad, but because there was a d J investigation open at the time, he was hammered. First of all, Obama was never hammered in the press for anything, but you know they were. He was caught Holy hell for that. This is a complete Canaris, complete bs.

You gotta be kidding me. What And then when I said him, okay, how about this case where the Democrats presidential nominee is under a completely legitimate and nobody can say otherwise federal criminal investigation, and the president of the United States at the time, Obama, who's the head of the Department of Justice, whose Attorney General Lauretta Lynch is absolutely a warrior for the social justice cause and has Obama's back, and before her, Eric Holder was Obama's wingman

by his own statement, by his own admission, And and Obama says, there's nothing to the email investigation, which if you want to talk about meddling or obstructing whatever, why is that ever the conversation that's the standard of the previous president. And and this guy from is saying, oh, Trump, it's unprecedented from the standing of the d J. And I say, well, it's actually not. And notice his response,

what does that have to do with anything? I mean, you're come on, David is a he's he's a smart guy. But yeah, you got you got caught up. It's a weak argument. So what does that have to do? What do you do? Doesn't have to do that it could. It's clear as day Obama was publicly trying to steer the course of a federal criminal investigation of the Democratic nominee for president. And now I'm supposed to sit here and be lectured about how well, Obama would never do

such a thing. He got in trouble when there was even an opposition to sexual harassment statement that he made. Folks, Let's see, this is what I mean. Then the never Trumper's it's it's a it's a disorder. It has turned into a way of being. It's like I'm challenging their religion when I and I didn't do it in an

aggressive way. I just want to know, you know why he suggestion and I played the audience for you so you could hear was Obama was so unwilling to interfere in the d o J and was held to such a higher standard when it came to the d o J that even in this this situation that I'll be honestly, I have no recollection of. But David Frump seems to recall it that, you know that he was taken to task for that, and I'm like, that's not it. That's

not the Obama standard. The Obama standard was if I had a son, he'd look like Trey you know, he would have looked like Trey Von. That was an open criminal case, folks, that they thought about going federal on by the way, for civil rights violation. Oh yes, uh, you know, never mind, the Cambridge police acted stupidly. That wasn't a major issue in terms of the criminal justice system, but certainly was not not helpful to what could have been a civil suit. To be sure, I think it

actually did. I'm not sure if produce and like let me know if the professor Gates at Harvard actually sued those cops, I can't remember. But but a huge instincts of interference in d o J from the President United States, you know, in the own in his own justice departments, thinking there's nothing to the Hillary. How can the President United States, who's the top of the d o J chain of command, say there's nothing to this investigation and

not expect that to affect the investigation. Folks, explain, riddle me that, what are you talking about? This is what? This is what? This is why even the smart never Trumpers, you know, the ones who are who are educated and and and you know, eloquent, and this is this is a religious belief for them. Now the evil of Trump is um has gone way beyond just an argument about the man who is the President United States right now, it's it's entered into some other territory in their mind.

Can you have played that exchange. I was so taken aback today by the fact that he was taken aback. I mean, you've never thought about this. You're trying to tell us that it was it was a standard sent by Obama that you would never speak out about anything going on with the d o J when in the single most consequential d o J action for the future

of American politics in Obama flatly and openly intervened. But oh no, it's it's unprecedented that it's unprecedented the abuse of that word unless that word actually has come to mean something that Trump has done that nobody else has done except for some people before him who I like. So it's okay, then then unprecedented has no meaning anymore. Uh, you know, they should be much more careful before throwing that around. But this is the problem with hyperbole and

hysteria in anti Tree. Yeah, Mike says there was no Gates lawsuit, so there wasn't that that didn't happen, It just was It was obviously a concern at the time. Just a fact check on that one. Um, But yeah, I that was that was quite the exchange. We we had a much more interesting talk I would note on on immigration, where David from has some very interesting thoughts. He actually wrote a piece in The Atlantic on immigration

while ago, so from his he's a smart guy. I'm not putting him or his work down, or I'm not trying to be dismissive. I just thought though, that here's somebody who I actually will read and will spend some time on his work occasionally. Uh And And I was shocked that he was shocked, but I shouldn't be because this is what never trumps mum does to people. It takes them out of the realm of objectivity. But on immigration, he's very good and I don't have that SoundBite for you,

but he did um. And actually the most interesting conversation was the one I had with him after the show, when he was walking off set. I said, you know, I need somebody to explain to me why it is where I go wrong here. If immigration, including illegal immigration, is only a net positive for the country, if there is, as Democrats hold no downside to it, which that is their posit. They will not admit to any downside. Think about it, well, what's the downside? Better for the economy?

There commit less crimes than us they're they're basically better than us. That's what Democrat tell people. If that is the case, we are crazy for not bringing in ten million immigrants a year, which if we open the flood, and we clearly could do so, why not do that? And said, oh, oh, buck, that's okay. And then I'd say, fine, you know what about two million? We take in a million, let's double it out. That seems like a lot, a lot of awesomeness, a lot of wealth, a lot of prosperity.

Where where are we going wrong here, folks? Right? Oh, oh no, there are tradeoffs. There are parts of the whole assimilation process that require there to be a balance in the numbers. You cannot you can overwhelm our ability to assimilate people if you do it with too many people too quickly. Or this is the reality of our immigration system. But democrats and he he conceded that point.

He said, you're right that Democrats are dishonest about how they discussed immigration, and they pretend that there's no downside, and if that were true, they should be open. They should be advocating for open effect, the open borders. Eight four or four nine. I just gave the wrong number. That was an old number. I think that was Glendex number. Buck, you want to chat, I'll be back with you in

just a moment. Team stay with me. He respected the dignity inherent in every life, a dignity that does not stop at borders and cannot be erased by dictators. Perhaps above all, John detested the abuse of power. Could not abide biggots and swaggering despots. So much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking and bombast and insult and phony

controversies and manufactured outrage. It's a politics that pretends to be brave and tough, but in fact does born of fear. John called on us to be bigger than that. He called on us to be better than that. So there were plenty of things in the McCain funeral of the week, and plenty of moments where I think a lot of folks said, okay, so this is going this is an

explicitly uh political situation. Now, I mean that there was a decision that was was made to to politicize at least some aspects of a man's funeral, which he is well within his rights to do. It was planned that way by McCain. From what I'm from what I'm told um and here is I mean the the previous, the previous occupant of this time slot, and and and a friend Megan McCain. Here here's what she had to say. Play clip one. The America John McCain is generous and

welcoming and bold. She is resourceful and confident, the secure, she meets her responsibilities. She's quietly because she is strong. America does not both because she has no need to the America of John McCain has no need to be

made great again because America was always great. Now I I I feel like we're we're putting a difficult position, your folks, because there's a tremendous amount of media coverage of this event over the weekend, and there are explicitly political and partisan arguments being made at a funeral, and it feels like a an extension of the Democrat creed of the victim, the victim slash attack paradigm, where they will put somebody forward, somebody who has suffered a lot,

in this case the funeral, but in other cases, you know they'll they'll use the nine eleven widows for political purposes, and they'll put forward the Parkland kids and if you oppose them on a policy level, you're heartless and your meat. And I it makes me very uncomfortable. I do not think it's it's a good place for us to go in. The expectation is that there will be no not This wasn't the private affair, folks. This was a media event.

There was a tremendous amount of coverage this over the weekend, when political arguments are going to be made and nationally televised, and it's being done with the idea that anybody who well and this is much more so a commentary on the way that the media was portraying this and the way that the coverage was really clearly using this as a as a club against Trump. But I don't like it when political arguments are being made and anyone who responds is going to be attacked for some other reason.

In this case, you're being uh, you know, you're being unfeeling and unkind toward the family that is suffering this, you know, suffering through this grievous loss, or you know that this is a funeral. How dare you question anything that was said? Well, there were things said about the current commander in chief that affect the rest of the country. I mean, they're there, or I should say there were things said that were clearly attacks on him, and look, I wouldn't it would not be my choice, but it

wasn't my choice. So, um, you know, I'm trying to be respectful of the circumstances in the situation while also not being being bullied into bending the knee on a political issue. Right, there's one. It's one thing to be respectful in the show proper decorum. It's a funeral, it's a manage served his country. But it's another thing to sit here and say, well, you know, I can't disagree with anything said there because John McCain and there's a lot of that going on. It's, uh, it's a bit.

It's a bit underhanded, folks, with some of the some of the way that the media was using McCain's funeral to attack the president. And in case it wasn't explicit enough, we got Steve Schmidt over as NBC. Yeah, I know Steve Schmidt. He's like a really good political analyst who's just you know, he's gotta say things on TV. Steve Schmidt play three the heroism, kindness, love, decency, all of it are necessary, uh, in a in a country like

ours for it to succeed. And all of those virtues are in regression and are under attack in this moment in time. And so what we saw today from two former presidents, a Republican and a Democrat who were fierce rivals of each other, was a rebuke to this vile and low moment in the history of this country. And make no mistake about it, um, the rebukes were intentional, they were purposeful, and they were designed by John McCain himself.

So yeah, one of one of McCain's closest advisors, at least the one who ran his presidential campaign two thousand and eight, saying that this was intentional, this was this was the political weaponization of a funeral. Folks. Uh. I'm not saying that that's inherently wrong. I'm just saying that it makes me uncomfortable. At we are now at a

place where to attack Trump. There will be people will engage in um in political attacks with the invulnerability of how dare you question me I'm grieving or how dare you question me this is a this is at a funeral or this is you. This is not the way, that's not how you make political arguments. And this notion of of the restoration of decency. A lot of these reporters were saying terrible things about John McCain in two thousand and eight. A lot of these reporters are talking

how great John McCain is. Now we're okay with reporters saying that Sarah Palin didn't actually have her child with down so there was actually her daughters and it was all a big you know, bringing bringing her downstair during her down syndrome child into the political fray. They were okay with that, folks, But those same reporters are now the one is gonna lecture us on decency and decorum at a funeral. I don't think so. Hiring can be tough, folks,

One of the most important life lessons that any of us can have, especially early in life, and so it's important for children and pass on for those of you with kids to future generations is the honor and dignity of work and also the need to show respect to those who are doing honest work. So let me take you to what

happened over this Labor Day weekend. Interesting that had occurred on on Labor Day, of all holidays, Jeffrey Owens. He was an actor on The Cosby Show, a show that I tell you I've not really ever seen much of, but it is, of course one of the most famous TV sitcoms of all time. And Jeffrey Owens, so he he was on this phenomenon TV show, The Cosby Show,

and that was decades ago. Well. The Daily Mail, a British tabloid publication, found him bagging groceries, working as as a clerk or whatever the specific position is called at Trader Joe's, which is a grocery chain I've shopped in many, many, many times myself. It's a it's a good place you get some really high quality stuff and and at a fair price. And this was considered and it was I

would agree with it. It It was job shaming. Also the photo they picked of him, it was he was at work doing his job and someone just took his photo and it all, it all felt very unseemly and sure enough, because this is America. And not only do we love uh, we we love an underdog. We also love a comeback story. H Jeffrey went from being shamed in a major news publication to getting a sit down interview on a good Morning America in front of millions of people, to talk

about his ordeal. Here's here's some of that. And I also want, I do want to say this. You know that this business of my being this cosby guy who got shamed for working at Trader Joe's, that's going to pass, you know what, that that's going to you know, in some measure of time, that's going to pass away. But I hope it doesn't pass. Is this idea that people are now thinking, this rethinking about what it means to work, you know, the the honor of the working person and

the dignity of work. And I hope that this period that we're now where we have a heightened sensitivity about that and a reevaluation of what it means to work, and that a reevaluation of the idea that some jobs are better than others, because that's actually not true. There is no job that's better than another job. It might pay better, it might have better benefits, it might look better on a resume and on paper, but actually it's

not better. Every job is worthwhile and and valuable. And if if we have a you know, a kind of a rethinking about that because of what's happened to me. Um, that would be great, but no one should feel sorry for me, either from a positive or negative perspective. I've had a great life. I've had a great career and um, I've I've had a career that most actors would really, you know, would die for. I really agree with his message.

I think he gets it. And it's just so nice to see it's look, it's dare I say it, it's it's heartwarming when you see a guy who, by the way, you know, it's not like he was found and I think this is important. This isn't a isn't a down on your luck story, and that they didn't find him, uh, sleeping in a cardboard box with you know, a bottle of of empty bourbon on his chest and you know, kind of muttering to himself over a subway. Great somewhere

it found him doing a job. He's making money. You know. I've actually spent a lot of time in Trader Joe's because I've I used to live right next to when I used to shop a one frequently, and I can tell you the staff there is full of people that have a great attitude. They seem like there, they like that they like what they're doing in that they're a part of a good organization that treats its employees well,

and there's a positive vibe in the place. And you know, for a lot of folks, ice shop a Trader Joe's. I had very little money. I gotta tell you, I was so happy to have access to good food that I could afford courtesy and Trader Joe's. So you know, it's providing a public it's it's providing a marketplace that the public wants. And I just think it's important for all of us to to remember that his line about

how you know, any job it's an honest job. Right, We're not talking about people who are selling heroin on the street corner. But you know, any any honest, legal job is deserving of respect. You know. It's it's something that we should all agree to encourage and all think that that. You know, anyone who shows up and does something that they have agreed to and have taken on that responsibility to be paid, you know, they're being a

productive member of society. And this should be this really should be a moment when everybody spends a little more time just reflecting on that. And I think you know. I remember when I was a I just got out of college. I might have told this story on the air before, and I had so many friends who were running off to do The big thing was to do investment banking from my class, or to do management consulting. That's what everybody was angling for. And if you got

an investment banking job, everybody was so jealous. Meanwhile, everybody pretty much for my class, except for one or two people that went into investment banking, they all they all bailed out with it a few years. I thought it was miserable. It wasn't worth the money, and they hated it. But I remember I came out of school and I

was trying to get into the CIA. That was my first It was the first job I applied for, and it was a job I really really wanted, but I hadn't gotten it yet, and I was waiting waiting to hear back, waiting to hear back, and out of nowhere, I got this. I got this opportunity. I was going to be an intern at the Council on Form Relations, which they even they have people in graduate school that interned there, so I was actually on the younger end

for the interns. And then I was offered a coaching job at my at my old high school for the JV soccer team, and I immediately thought, well, that sounds really cool. I had played soccer for four years in high school. I had been co captain of the soccer team my senior year, and we were actually pretty good. Uh, And I just thought this would be kind of fun. And I remember I went out to a very well known watering hall of New York City with all my fellow twenty two year olds or twenty three year olds

at the time. You know, we all just started our jobs. This is right after graduation. I'm back in New York City. And I told some of them that I was going to be a a j V soccer coach at my high school. I don't never forget that that. A few of them laughed and they mocked the idea and I and I wasn't not going to take it. I wasn't gonna get peer pressured into backing out or something. But I was really taken aback by that because I had always really admired and respected my my coaches and my

teachers in high school. And of course the people who are laughing, they they were people who went into high, high paid jobs right out of school, and only a couple of them lasted. But they clearly thought that this was that this job that I was taking on much by the way, I think, I think they were gonna pay me a few hundred dollars a week for it. I mean it was the money was was, you know,

pretty pretty nominal. But they thought that this was their little why would you go get this fancy degrease you could be a JV soccer coach. I mean they were really having it, you know, having a go at me of this. And I will say, you know, and to to both of my parents credit when I mentioned to them maybe the next day, you know, wow, I really got a hard time from some of my old classmates about how I was taking this JV soccer coach job and you know, and and going back to my high

school for for for a semester at least. My parents both said, you don't listen to them, that's ridiculous. You could have a really profound impact on some great, you know, young men and have a great time doing it, and you really I really bonded with my soccer coach in high school. I thought he was an awesome guy. And I still remember very fondly this day, and I remember those I remember those games and and playing on that team. You know, it's one it's one of my fonder memories

in a lot of ways, quite honestly. And my parents were said, you you do that job, you'd be proud to do that job, and you don't let anybody, anybody say anything about it. And they were right. Man, I had so much fun. Yeah, I was making three dollars a week, but you know what, I didn't need that much money. I mean, you know, it was it was. It wasn't about the money, and it wasn't about being some big shot. It was about coaching and and being around the kids. And they were some of the ore

fifteen or sixteen. I was twenty two. We were actually not that far apart in age. That was pretty funny, dynamic, but it was one of the most fun things I've ever done. Man. It is so important to understand that everyone who's showing up and doing a job, and especially people who do their job with um, with a a

real pride. And you know what I'm talking about. I mean, there are there are people who whether they're a server in a restaurant, or they work as a as a handyman or a doorman in a building somewhere, or they're they're a janitor, or you know, whatever may be. But you know, these these non glamorous jobs, there are people who do them with an eye too, being the best outed they can be and being as positive as they can to all those around them while they're doing it.

And those people are gems, and they they make our days better. Not only do they provide a service, but they provide a reminder to all of us that you know, honest work is is dignified, is honorable. And I think that this was, you know, a rare moment in the news cycle when finally we could all focus on something that's just just worth spending a little bit of time

thinking about. And that's this. So, you know, Jeffrey Owens, I got to thank them for that, and uh, finally the media found something worthwhile to talk about for a moment. Look at that, I guess it is possible. We'll be right back. Hiring can be tough, folks, There's no question about it. And you need to get the best people the fastest you can, and you need to get them through your whole process. Zip recruiter is your answer. Okay,

Perhaps it's no accident that some of the cameras can sound like incoming machine gun fire. But for as much as the digital photography era has changed photography, you can still count on hearing the rapid fire shutters

a machine gun fire. As much as I shan't hear and talk to you about the machine gun of the cameras on there, I was one hand tied behind my back repelling out of the black Hawk. Bin Laden didn't know what hit him. That's right, Man of action. Bride Williams thinks that if you if you hear, if you hear some cameras clacking clack, clack clack, it's like machine

gun fire. He's he's the same one who well, what was that bizarre producer Mike, what was the Leonard Cohen quote that he said when they fired the missiles at Syria was like the beauty of the missiles fired from these guns or something. He had some weird thing that he said, He's watching the missiles get fired, he quoted Leonard coh And some of you remember what I'm talking about. But but it's all it's looked. The press thinks of themselves as tremend this lee brave. There's no no question

about that. They think of themselves as people who stand for what's right and have deep principles that they will they won't back down, back down from and and it's really all a myth and one of the one of the most self aggrandizing, self pitying, self righteous things I've read in quite some time, which is saying a lot.

Was a recent Chuck Todd peace in the Atlantic where he says it's time for the press to stop complaining start fighting back, and it's all about how Fox News and Roger Ailes and conservative media have demonized the press. I mean, somebody needs to pull over the we ambulance for Chuck Todd here. This is pathetic stuff. And what's amazing is how little sense of self awareness he displays.

The article of me. There's Look, it's all the stuff you would expect folks, right, you know, Oh, it's it's all their their press and undermining us in democracy, and it's all just garbage. We we don't need, we don't need all these days, well, the hundreds and hundreds of news I'm I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons. That was That was a Leonard Cohen line by Brian Williams. I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons. Uh, Brian Williams was guided by them when he was actually the

first man on the beach at Normandy. Did you know that Brian Williams. He's awesome, so you know, but you're looking at this piece, this Chuck Todd piece, and he goes into how terrible Fox News is. But but there's so much in here that's that's laughable. He makes his case even worse. He writes, quote, I fully acknowledge reporters bring their own biases to their work. The questions they ask and the stories they pursue are shaped by things

as simple as geography. I grew up in Miami. I followed Cuban politics more closely than many other Americans did. As a result, when I covered the White House, I was more likely than my colleagues to ask questions about Cuba. A New York based reporter may approach reporting on guns or evangelical Christianity different than a reporter in Pensacola, Florida. End quote what an idiot. Yeah, it's geographical issues that

are why reporters are biased, U nincompoop. No, it's because plus of you are all a bunch of libs, a bunch of whiny, self righteous, echo chamber obsessed libs. And you know what would really really started to bother me in this piece as well, is that you get you get Chuck Todd, who goes after, he goes after Hannity, he goes after Laura Ingraham, he goes after um Tucker Carlson, among others, says that they've made themselves rich by scaring

old white people into into watching them. And I would just note that, for first of all, you can only do that, You're only allowed to do that now with old white people, old than the other people. Oh, you're you're you're pandering to fill in the blank, old people from that ethnic group, and you would be screamed at

as a as a racist. And how could you And even though I mean, I I just read a piece in in vox dot com what was it this past weekend about the the essentially celebrating the quote browning of America, which Vox the Beta mails overt Vox think is tremendous progress. Uh, you know, I don't. I don't have a view. And whether it's a good or a bad thing. I think it's interesting that Vox clearly does right that Vox clearly is is incourage wants that to be wants demographic change.

Oh I'd like someone to explain to me why they take that position. I just want great Americans. I just want people that want to live in this country, want freedom and free markets and the Constitution, and buy into this place. I don't care what color they are vox though, Fox though, clearly cares about the color, which is interesting,

isn't it anyway? But but Chuck Todd, I mean, he's delusional here with this, and and he's he's saying that they're pandering, and and he also is is essentially insinuating that you know, they've made He says they've made themselves rich by being dishonest in this way. And I just know, you know, Chuck Todd, he's lucky that he's not a you know, a third tier reporter for the Pensacola Star Tribune or whatever the heck. I have no idea what

the Pencacle newspaper is called. But you know, he's lucky that he's not that guy, because he really could be. Because there's nothing special about Chuck Todd. He's terrible and meet the press. He's not particularly charismatic. Yeah, I'm not trying to be mean, but you know, he's not about to being a Ralph Lauren catalog anytime soon, not that you know, I'm not either, not that any of us.

That's a but for some people. And you look at the guy on ABC News, Okay, yeah, that guy's basically like a male supermodel who happens to read a teleprompter, right whatever? Is a someone? What's that guy's name? You know what I mean? The handsome guy? You know what I mean? What's that guy's name? Yeah? You know what I don't Yeah, I don't remember his nabe that you know? You know what I mean? Handsome guy, handsome guy on ABC News tonight, just like I'm here and I'm just

so handsome. Is that that David Muir? Yes, yes, David with the normally large cranium. Yeah, he's got a huge head, dude. Anybody who's really got game has a giant head. Though, as I've put it out many times, I mean my head is ginormous anyway. So, but Chuck Todd runs on about how they're they're pandering, they're the bad guys. Uh, they are doing all this bad stuff in media, and then he can't even admit that the media thinks the same way. Why is that, folks, it's because of their

intolerance for other ideas. It's not because that's what the market will allow it's because they are a bunch of little cry babies who will get their colleagues who won't hire anyone who's a conservative, and we'll get their colleagues fired if they find out their conservative. That's what this really is. The media is run like in like an old school country club that just makes sure they keep their kind of people around. Isn't that isn't that interesting

and ironic? Anyway, the Chuck Todd piece, don't read it. It's a waste your time. It's Trump is being so mean to us good He's not. Chuck Todd is not a neutral broadcaster. That's a lie. Neither's Jake Tapper, neither's Andon Cooper. Let's stop with the nonsense and let's get real. Speaking of media cowardice, this is like a recurring segment on the show. Now, some of you may have picked

up that over the weekend. The New Yorker has followed on the footsteps of The Atlantic for going on the wall of shame for ideas that are just too hot to handle. Folks. Oh no, can't can't listen to what that person has to say, can't hear them out on an issue that that's too dangerous? Dangerous for our democracy. They say the New Yorker was actually having and Ideas Festival whatever. They really call it their annual New Yorker Festival.

It's where they bring together all these ideas and different you know, thought leaders and all this other. A lot of it's a self self congratulatory bs, I'll be honest with you. But they had invited Steve Bannon. Now Steve Bannon, uh is that Steve Bannon is is somebody you all know you don't even explain to Steve Bennon is right. I mean, he's an advisor. But just so we put this in the proper context, he's an advisor to the president United States as of a year ago, was important

in his presidential run. And you know, he's a guy who's got some very instring ideas. I I actually really want to interview Steve Bennets. Let me let me go on the record and say that right now, I would like I would like to interview Bennett. I've never met him or talked to him, which is very strange given the business that I'm in, and it just hasn't happened.

I don't know, um, somehow there are other other people, you know, Denish and Coulter, and you know, all the Fox News folks work crossing paths on a regular basis. I never have crossed paths with Bannon in any way. I've never sounded a panel with them. Never anyway, I never interviewed him. But they invited Bannon and then they disinvited Bannon. And you know, this is just this is such cowardice from these publications. But it just goes to show you that, you know, I think they realize, folks,

I think they know that this is cowardly. I think they know that they should be realistically, that they should be embarrassed by this. But they also know that their readership in a magazine like The New Yorker, which people only subscribe to so they can say that they subscribe to the New Yorkers to their friends so that they think they sound smart. Right, the New Yorkers, the magazine that people who want other people to think that they sound smart subscribe to. H They don't want to lose

their their base, their subscribers. They I think I almost want to cut them some slack because this is a business decision for them, because they're a A true liberal today is an absolute snowflake. Can't separate out their political beliefs from anything in life can handle being. Oh my gosh, we're gonna subject me to uncomfortable thoughts. That's so man

can't handle any of that. Is completely incapable of listening to the other side, in fact, thinks that the other side even getting a chance to make their case is a problem. This is where you get the whole deep platforming movement, and you see this on college campuses. You see this with the whole speech equals violence paradigm that the left pushes right. Speech equals violence. That's what they

will say. And you said, well, if speech he was violence, then can you respond to speech you don't like with violence because you've already made that cross over. Oh yes, yes, indeed, um, that is that is in fact what they're saying in many cases. Certainly you see that with Anti five and with others. But this needs to be named and shamed. Folks that a that a cultural edifice like the New Yorker such as it is. I mean, I know, I

don't read I've read some artist. I've read certainly plenty of New Yorker pieces in my life, but I'm not somebody that rushes out to read The New Yorker. I I tend to think of it as the the thing that you pick up for a moment when you're waiting in an old school doctors or dentist's office before you go in. Uh, some of your like Buck, I actually pick up Field and stream, Well, you go to a better dentist than I do. But this, this is just the way that they are now. This is the expectation.

I suppose that if people get if people get upset on the left about somebody getting to speak, then the answer has to be, don't allow them to speak. The answer has to be, uh, they will withdraw any effort to engage, and it is just it is embarrassing. But I think increasingly that there if they feel forced into this, because the left has got a lot of very very delicate flowers, you know, people that really can't handle. They've over they've internalized the era of Trump, isn't they've over

emotionalized it. And no, they're just like, I can't handle all the mean thoughts and Steve Bannon too scary, too scary for The New Yorker and the celebrities that piled on, how could you have been and come and speak? By the way. If I'm banning, you gotta love this. It's a great press for him. Rock and roll fellow patriots, we made ours go up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, it is is roll call time, my favorite time at least when it comes to this show.

Let's get to it. We have first, Mark Anthony, not to be confused with the pop singer. He writes, Hey buck my Connecticut Senator Blumenthal protested at the hearing because of documents not released. Two questions. Has he actually read all available Kavanaugh has so far? Had the other docks been releases? Is here going to read all of them as well? Shield time? Mark Anthony? No, Mark, It's ridiculous, man, And I know you know this, which is why you're

asking the question. It is completely and utterly ridiculous. Four hundred thousand pages, Folks, if you try to stack four hundred thousand pages in your living room floor, it would probably hit the ceiling, probably go above the ceiling. I mean, it's just insane. They want to They're gonna review those documents looking for what, By the way, do they think that Kavanaugh wrote somewhere I'm a secret crypto Nazi? I mean, well,

what do they really think they're gonna find. They haven't gone through the four hundred thousand that they've been given, they're never going to go through it. And now they're pretending that, oh, there's another hundred thousand that they can see that they really need. It's just it's pathetic. These people are un serious. They are serious, But Mark, I think you I think you know that one. Uh, Lorenzo, or rather Thomas, pardon me, Lorenzo, I gotta skip that one,

right buck? How do you how valid do you think these congressional hearings are when members of the hearing panel blatantly lie to the federal judge they're questioning. I've been listening to these opening statements by by members, and no less than four Democrats have stated that Judge Kavanaugh is unacceptable because he represents the president who's under investigation for crimes he committed. They never elaborate on what those crimes are,

because there are none. This hearing is a waste of time since the Democrat members on the panel have already decided to vote against Judge Kavanaugh. This is just another media show, a waste of taxparemoney. Thomas indeed indeed that is all quite true. Now, let me also add to it and say that this notion that because there's allegations against the president, he can't be the president is just garbage, right, I mean, where do where does that stop and start?

If one person makes an allegation against the president United States that he lose all of his powers, does he have to step down? They keep saying that on the record, on the record. I mean, they're playing all these playing all these disingenuous games, like with the Michael Cohen uh the election campaign finance issue that's come up. They say that this has They say that this has turned into something that's on the record now, but it hasn't been adjudicated.

It doesn't it doesn't mean anything. It doesn't have any meaning really other than just being an allegation. But they act like, oh well, now it's it's signed, sealed, and delivered. Because Michael Cohen says so, Michael Colan is a proven liar, so there's no reason to take his word for anything, then the word of a liar. Hannah writes a few things about the Kavanaugh hearing's book. If they didn't know about the documents until last night, how did Bluementhal, get

those boasters so fast? Why do the protests seem so timed out? Schumer? That's all have a nice even great shows always. Freedom Hunt is Mjam Hannah Hannah's the Freedom Huts Jam. You know what I mean? Uh? Yeah, they hearing that. I was bonkers Ville, man, it really was. It was just crazy. I don't know what it's gonna take for the left to do a little bit of housekeeping and get their loony's a bit more in line. But it was way way out there today, I gotta

tell you. Um. Next up here we get Paul rights Buck loyal podcast listener here just finished listening to Two Door Kickers and a Desk Ninja. Hilarious as expected, but all three of you missed the boat on sports versus games. There are only three real sports bullfighting, auto racing, and mountain climbing. All three involved the real possibility of death. Everything else is a game. Shields high, Paul, Paul, uh ca't say I've ever heard that definition of a of

a sport before. So interesting. I'm not sure. I don't think I can agree with you, but I like your outside the box thinking and thank you for listening to three Door Kickers in a Desk Ninja, or rather to know, I'm not a doorkicker two door kickers in a desk Ninja. I'm the desk Ninja. I hope you enjoyed that. That's our Freedom Hut podcast. It's in the buck Sexton Show feed, folks. I have kind of a fun announcement to make for

all of you. Starting next week, we are going to do a little experiment with something for those of you who are in the podcast specific world. We are going to release The buck Sexton Show as a podcast earlier on in the day, meaning that I'm going to get to a mic before lunchtime and drop an hour of content as the buck Sexton Show podcast, and then later on in the day. That's right, three hours a radio baby. So that's gonna be a way to make sure that I can get ahead of some of the things in

the news cycle. It'll be shure to remember it'll probably be about an hour, so it won't be the full three hours of this until later, but we're gonna do it. We're gonna start dropping the buck Sexton Show podcast probably around eleven am Eastern, and so because I'm already drilling into all the news in the morning to do my morning TV show. The idea is I go do TV. I then bang out an hour of podcast content for all of you, diving into the news cycle the day,

getting into you know, what's going on. So this way, also those of you are driving home, you know, if you if you're gonna be a little home before this show say airs on your market, in your market, you'll be able to to you know, to look, it's the three hour radio show stays the same, folks. I don't that that doesn't that doesn't change at all. I'm just saying we're gonna be doing an earlier podcast in the day that will be a breakdown and news of the

day will run through it. That way, and those you are podcast listeners, uh you can you can hear from me, because right now the way it goes is by the time that the show is over, the first time you've heard from me those of your podcast listeners is nine Eastern maybe uh sometimes later than that. So this way we get it up early and then later on you can listen to the full show if you want. Um. But the podcast in the morning is gonna be a little more of a free form rundown on all the

day's events. So it'll just give it an easier way. This way, I'm coming out the news cycle from all sides. The three hour show we're doing here is a deep dive wrap up all things from the day. The one hour show early in the morning is gonna be more breaking news headlines what I'm seeing, what's coming out there, uh, slightly different vibe. But those of you who are also radio listeners, I would encourage you to set up either

You are now

Because you find yourself now in the midst of it, my friend, please do right back again. We'll get you back on the air, Shields High, and good to talk to you, Cat, writes buck Love. The show is always Last night, while watching Dr Phil with my husband, a guest on the show was referred to as a misogynist. I never heard this term and

asked my husband what it meant. He correctly explained to me, but asked me to Google it to fact check him. I simply entered misogynists in the search bar and hit enter. There at the very top of the page before the actual definition was a large picture of Trump. So in Google claims to show no political bias, I think they have to question it. Shields High, Kathy, Yeah, Kathy, I mean there's there's the media. H I've been saying it

for a long time. Folks, the the Silicon Valley far left evangelists, they really do believe in progressive ideology, and they're trying to advance it and use their massive platforms and incredibly deep pocket pockets to do so. Alan Buck, what are the odds that's destruct go fund me is just a front for paying him off to keep things quiet about some other things, or maybe a less nefarious

way for liberals to reward him for services rendered. Well, I want I think that's kind of what's going on here. I think that the struck uh these struck go fund me account is essentially a uh hashtag resistant slush fund that they've set up for him, and it sends a very clear message to anyone else that if you stand with the resistance, there will be money for you, There will be fame for you. They will take care of you. If you decide to uh stand with Trump, they will

do everything in their power to annihilate you. They will do everything they can to destroy your life. Philip writes good Limo quote Buck, black Hawk Down, Correct, Philip, it is indeed from black Hawk Down, Adam. I know it was gonna get in trouble for this one. Buck. I was stunned that you didn't like Boondocks Saints. I think

it would be right up your eighties action Alley. But alas as an animal lover, the cats scene likely did you in Shields High, Yeah, I didn't like I didn't like the cats scene, and uh, I just you know, I think it's a little dated, folks. There's some movies. There are some movies that I can tell you. I I checked them out, and I know now that mostly I like them for reasons of nostalgia, you know that that the main thing about them that that gets me.

You know, Like I like the movie Young Guns, probably with Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen more than I should because I watched it with my brother so many times growing up. It's not a great movie, it's not a very good western, but it's entertaining for what it is. Um, there are some movies that fall in that category for me. I feel like for a lot of folks, Boondock Saints is probably in that realm where it's really more the memory of watching it when they saw it and everything else.

Because I'm like, if you go back, it's pretty you know, it's it's kind of silly. There's a lot of a lot of stuff in it that's kind of silly and and doesn't really hold together all that much for me. Um. And like I said, if you compare it to a a straight up action movie of of today, like even john Wick, where there's a lot of shooting. And I'm not saying john Wick is not realistic, but it's stylistic. Uh, that which which I can handle, right, I can suspend

disbelief for a reason. Um. By the way, I'm seeing a lot of you are asking me about the Jack Ryan series on Amazon. Um, I've I've read. I read a view of it that said that it's like an homage to toxic masculinity, American patriotism, and uh like white man entitlement. Sounds amazing. Sign me up. I'm gonna watch it asap and give you all my review of it. So that's that's all coming. I promise that's gonna be
