Media Panics Over Trump Celebrating Freedom

He claims. Kim Jong Len's people just adore him. Will They have no choice because he throw them in a goulog and probably kill them. So what is the message Donald Trump is trying to send by rolling tanks down Constitution Avenue? Who is that message too? It's certainly not to tyrants, because he likes tyrants. He loves tyrants. The message is a threat, but it's always a threat when you roll you out to your military. But it's to whom is the threat? And I suspect that the threat

is to his fellow Americans. And I hate to say that, but I think that Donald Trump styles himself a tyrant, not a defeat of tyrants. By the way, this is a public event. It's open to the public. The public is welcome to come and celebrate our great country, the greatest democracy, the Constitution, all the amendments, not just the First Amendment that seems to only interest you, only the Second Amendment, all the others, but really just the birth

of this country, the greatest democracy they'd ever lived. I'm gonna I'm not gonna allow you to politicize it. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Everybody that's right, Kelly and Kama is not going to allow the Libs to ruin Independence Day like they ruin everything else. Oh man, it's amazing, isn't it, folks of the One of the great repeating phenomena of the Trump era is the hysterical overreaction from the left about everything and anything that Trump does. Trump

has orange juice for breakfast in the White House. Oh my gosh, Trump is at orange juice like all dictators do. I mean, that's just there's no there's there's no sense of balance, no sense of reality of normalcy. And here we are going into a holiday weekend where everybody should be like really excited about the fact that things are gonna be cool. Folks, we got I've got a couple of days off. Hopefully a lot of you have Tomorrow and Friday off, nice long weekend, plenty of time to chill,

plenty of time to get your bearings. And the last thing we're hearing from a lot of the mainstream media from the lives out there is oh my gosh, Trump is becoming a tyrant because there's a parade and they'll beat some tanks. Oh no, not tanks. I mean. I grew up in Manhattan and on the Upper East Side there's a an armory with the with the National Guard Post in it, and you know, you'd see military vehicles on the streets, you see camouflage, humpies, you see walking

on military uniforms. And I don't ever remember saying, oh my gosh, there's a humpy on the Upper east Side. What's gonna happen to us? But we started off a show with Joy Reid, who upice they still haven't found.

You might recall this story. MSNBC host Joy Reid said that the flagrantly homophobic and anti gay stuff that she had on her blog from ten years ago was put there by somebody who hacked into the old website that no one even thought about anymore and changed her words around, and she was going to get the FBI to investigate, and she didn't get fired. She just waited the controversy out, didn't get fired, So I guess it worked for her.

But now she wants to tell us that Trump wants to be a tyrant, he wants to be Kim Jong un. See here's where the Libs yet again another argument that they make that with just the most nursery scrutiny, I mean, just with a moment's attention, the whole thing falls apart. If Trump is a tyrant like Kim Jong un, why is it that any one federal judge anywhere in the country is able to stop Trump from doing something? And

he has never tried to override the system. He's never refused to he's never refused to go along with the federal federal court decision. He just has his administration bring

a challenging court and go through the process. And in cases where I think you could make a really honest argument that the federal federal judge in questions should have no say in what's going on, should have absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand, and is making decisions or is handing down decisions in bad faith as part of the hashtag resistance. At what point does the president say, I'm not going to allow any random federal judge budge to override executive branch policy on a whim.

But he's never done that, has it. He's quite far from a dictator. There's been no there's there's been no dictatorial action to speak of, other than him saying that some people at CNN are imbeciles, which is just a statement of fact. And he has a First Amendment right to speak his mind too. He's the president United States. He's allowed to share his opinions and thoughts on things. Where is the government abuse? They always talk about Trump

as a tyrant. Oh there's gonna be tanks on the streets. Yeah. Are they really worried that there's what's going to happen? This is Trump's big plan to institute martial law. Do they think this is a terrible action movie? You know, one of those like White House Down or what was the other one. There's been a few of these movies where it's like terrorists take over the White House or something. But Trump's already running the White House. So if he's

the bad guy. Why is he putting tanks in the streets. This is insane, though, I mean, you have just to give you a sense of some of the criticisms out here, some of the things that are being said. I'm trying to find this one. You know, you can't make this stuff up. You add a Lawrence Tribe who's a professor of law up at Heart. Oh, here we go. I found it in response to the Independence Date parade where there's gonna be some you know, there's gonna be some

military show. Lawrence Tribe treated out today, professor at Harvard. The resemblance to the days before Tianneman Square is chilling. That's right. Our detention centers are concentration camps at the southern border. Any military presence in an Independence Day parade in DC is North Korea like or Tienneman Square, and there's gonna be an imminent you know, blood bath and martial law instituted. Why should we listen to these people

about anything anymore? At what point is their judgment so obviously and completely obtuse beyond belief that we don't have to pretend that their opinion should matter on any of these political issues or on Trump. I think we're long since past that. In a similar way, when do we get to just ignore their proclamations about how what Trump is doing is the most frightening, evil, scary thing in all history. Oh my gosh, it's unprecedented. Well it's not unprecedented.

Oh my gosh, it's only the like fifth time that a president has done this. Well is that? What about the other presidents who did it? There was a lot of fun to eggs get all these libs can't help themselves tweeting out, oh my gosh, Trump and the military and the show of force and all these things that are going on. And turns out that other presidents, not A Lee Eisenhower had a military parade. JFK had a

military parade. I think FDR had a military parade. There are in plenty of times where we had troops going down the street in parade formation and some military vehicles, including tanks, and look, I mean, tanks are kind of cool. I'll be honest. I've seen a lot of tanks. I mean, you've seen one tank, You've seeing them all, really, but oh they're big, they're loud, they're pretty cool. So if you've never seen one, you know you're down here in DC. Go go check it out. But does anyone really think

that this is something to be afraid of? Wouldn't that also mean that these libs, and I'm not talking about random commenters on some website. These are people with big followings, major perches in the media, major purches in academia. Do they really think that the United States military would open fire on innocent Americans on Independence Day? I mean so otherwise, why would Lauren Stribe be referring your tenement square? Why

would you have this level of insanity? I mean, the military coming through these DC neighborhoods shouldn't freak people out. I'm seeing a story here. This was linked on Drudge Report today. Don't panic, Army warns DC residents armored vehicles will roll through neighborhoods. Tanks at armored personnel carry has passed through DC this week en route to the National Mall, and the military is telling people don't freak out if

you see an armored personnel carry rolling through a neighborhood. Quote. At least two of the Bradley Fighting vehicles will place near the Lincoln Memorial in preparation for President trump Salute to America fourth of July event, and there's been some consternation about this. I don't know why people are so concerned about it. They do they get scared when they see somebody in the National Guard with an M sixteen at an airport. I'm sure some Libs do. They probably

think it's terrifying. But I almost feel a sense of sadness, a bit of sympathy starts to creep in after a while, because I do believe that while a lot of Libs out there try to make people think that Trump is terrible, Trump is Hitler for their own purposes, and they're doing so in a cynical fashion. They don't really believe this.

They just want to create a sense of underlying chaos and an impending sense of doom among as much of the population as they can because of Trump, and that means that they'll say whatever they have to say, even

if they don't believe it. But I do think that there are people who would otherwise seem to you to be normal and pretty pretty smart, pretty together, who really think that Trump is some terrible threat to America, that he's never going to give up power, that he is a threat to our national security and an existential threat, in fact, an existential threat in this country. You had Democrat candidates standing on stage last week saying that Trump is an existential that he is the greatest threat to

the United States. And I would say that not only is that a reckless but a deeply stupid and yes, unpatriotic thing to say. I don't think that we need to always pretend that there's a good faith criticism from the other side, because there isn't. They are in a state of frenzy, a state of hysteria, and I do think it's going to get considerably worse as we get closer to the general election and then in the general election, not just because of the heightened political stakes, but also

there is this little sense of panic. Here's let me tell you something. Libs have been helping themselves go to sleep at night by repeating fables in their own heads. Trump's not really the president. He's an illegitimate president. You see he called with Russia. You see Mueller's going to finish him off and get him out of office. It's just I just have to be patient. I just have to be patient. It's only going to be one term, if that maybe less than one term. What about four

more years. That prospect, I can assure you, has not been in the minds of most of the hashtag resistance until now. They have been acting under the assumption that this nightmare for them would come to an end relatively soon. And now that they are seeing the democratic field such as it is and who is offered up as opposition to President Trump, I do think they are coming to the belated recognition that Trump is going to be very, very difficult to beat, and that means that he may

in facts be their president for more years. And as that gets closer to becoming a reality, there's going to be a greater and greater urgency among the left to think that every act of the president is impending martial law. It's not just tanks on the and the Independence Day parade, It's not just some military procession one holiday, one day of the year here washing DC. It's going to be everything that he does. They will take the dial to

eleven on all Trump actions. They will do everything in their power to create a sense of doom among the general public if they can. We're Trump to be reelected. They will take this to a level that is completely deranged, and that is what Trump' arrangement syndrome does to people. That's why it's such an apt name. That's why it's so important that we all realize what it is, what is at the heart of it. This is a mental disorder. Now, this is this is a problem that cannot just be

fixed by the presentation of facts and rational discussion. The anti Trump libs, as we see, even as we come together as a country to celebrate Independence Day here in Washington, d c. And across the rest of the nation, the anti Trump libs can't even take a chill, take a breath, and enjoy Independence Day without coming up with some crazy story about how this is the worst thing ever, the Trump is the worst president ever. How could he do this military procession? Oh, it turns out a bunch of

other presidents did. It didn't lead to marshal law, wasn't a big deal. And why are libs so afraid of one day you're seeing some military vehicles in a procession down a street in the context of a celebration of pride and patriotism in this country. Why is that so deeply offensive to them? I mean, I hate parade, so I'm not even a parade guy, but I'm not scared by this. They think that our military would turn on the American people just because Trump said so. They really

believe that. I think the answer is yes. They do believe that which is which is Which is crazy, sad, and a little dangerous too because some of the people who believe that want to be in power. They want to replace this president with someone who shares their ideology of utter madness. We'll get into some more of this, of course, the threat of course of the show. Oh man, last show before we all go on a little bit of Vaca, folks. So we got we got a lot of ground to cover. Be sure to send me your

thoughts at facebook dot com. Slashbuck Sexton. A lot of fantastic guests today on the show. Tommy Larren's got a new book. Tommy's an all Buddy Mine from the Blaze. She'll be joining later on. Jesse Kelly, I know you all love Jesse Kelly. Everyone loves Jesse Kelly's fantastic of the Jesse Kelly Show. And Tyler Merritt, great guy, CEO of nine Line Apparel. He's going to tell us about Chief Eddie Gallagher, that Navy seal who faced all those charges,

who beat almost all of them. He talks to Gallagher on a regular basis. You gonna let us know what's going on, so a team. We got that a more coming up, stay with me. Those people who are online making fun of members of Congress are a disgrace and there's no need for anyone to think that is unacceptable. We're gonna shut them down and work with whoever it is to shut down down, and they should be prosecuted. You cannot intimidate members of Congress pregnant numbers of Congress.

It is against the law and it's a shame in this United States of America. Oh man, it's a Democrat for Congressman Frederica Wilson. Oh man. I just I honestly, sometimes I just want to play Sometimes I just want to play a clip for you. And I don't even know, oh man, I don't even know if, if, if I need to say anything about it other than just wow, yeah, yeah, that's right. You can't make fun of members of Congress online, or you should be shut down and thrown in prison.

Who votes for her? Who who goes in to a voting booth that says yeah, that lady with the one that always wears that like the cowboy hat, I'm gonna vote for her. Oh man, good times. But you know they never say that she's a threat to the First Amendment. Straight up says if you criticize members of Congress, you might get you might need to get shut down and sent to prison. I would just say to you all

right now, as we had an Independence Day. I know it's not Thanksgiving, but there's a sense of how we should be thankful over this holiday, because thankful to be Americans. Also for almost all of you listening, all of you, I guess you'd be thankful that Congress Congresswoman Frederica Wilson is. It's not your congresswoman, that's for sure. She's amazing. We'll

be right back. People like AOC create the disaster, refused to fix it, vote against funding to help people, and then go down there to attack the people who are saying to her, we don't have enough money, we don't have enough facilities, the law doesn't work. Why don't you go back and fix it? And I just think her attitude and her approaches, and I use these words literally,

she is a viciously dishonest person. You have a man and his daughter dying in the river because the Democrats in Congress refused to fix the law, refused to control the border, refused to pass humanitarian aid. It is truly despicable to watch people like this operate, and I think she should be shamed over. I think people should say this is not tolerable. That's not the kind of person that the news media frankly ought to be covering because

she's so dishonest. Newt couldn't be more correct. Folks, really hitting a home run there, he's just nailing it. What AOC did. This is not just oh, I disagree with this person, which obviously I do, and then some What she did is despicable. It was disgraceful in order to give political cover to her party for its complicity. Really it's encouragement of this migrant crisis at our southern border.

She showed up with a predetermined agenda in order to ambush the overworked and underpaid men and women of our border patrol, to make them seem like monsters, to make border patrols seem like they are savages who would tell migrant women to drink out of a toilet bowl. Let me ask you this, do you think that there is any member of Border Patrol who would do that? Or

here's maybe a better way to putting it. If any member of Order Patrol did that and one of their colleagues found out, do you think that person would still have a job in a day. It's so beyond the pale, it's so horrific. And we know that AOC was at a minimum exaggerating what she was seeing, and she may have just been completely falsifying it all together. I means you may have just been making it up as she went along. Why would we expect anymore from her than that.

This is a woman who doubles down on calling these facilities concentration camps. This is a person who recognizes that she has accrued quite a bit of political capital, a tremendous amount of power at a very young age, and does not have anywhere near the wisdom she should, even if she's coming from this left of center perspective, to control and to wield that political power as an adult. She is the Prince Jeoffrey from Game of Thrones of

the Democratic Party. They are all a little bit scared of her because she has too much power and not nearly enough wisdom, not nearly the wisdom required to wield it responsibly, and I just get angry. I honestly am angry about what she did to our border patrol, what she did to the men and women who are trying to do that job every day. Because I've been down there, I've talked to them too, and I know what the overall truth of their efforts are, which is that they

are serving you and me, my friends. They are trying to keep this country safe. They are trying to enforce our laws, and they are doing what is increasingly not just a thankless but a job that is pushing them into public disrepute in left wing circles. They are now targeted for harassment openly and editorials published in the most prestigious and prominent papers in America. They are finding themselves increasingly told that they are the bad guys for doing

what the law says they should be doing. And some of the people calling them bad guys, like Okasio Cortez, are the very people who have the power to pass or rescind laws about immigration. You know, there's so much

that is wrong with what we are seeing here. If if really the border situation, if Democrats would just be honest about it, they should push for the repeal of the laws that they will not enforce, but leaving laws on the books that they that just are never allowed to be enforced, and that they will criticize those law enforced officials who try to do their duty by those laws. This creates an undermining effect for our entire system, and it also doesn't allow the public to accurately weigh what

both sides want and what they're trying to achieve. Here Ocasio Cortez is a disgrace. She's beloved by the progressives that I know, absolutely beloved because she represents something to them. She is representative of the of a young Latino female Marxist, far left, hard left, in your face, combative social justice warrior, harnessing the power of the state to rub everyone's face in it when she can on any issue of cultural or political or economic importance. Just it's not enough to

get her way. She has to get her way and then humiliate those who disagreed with her. And progressives love this. They think this is fantastic. I hope that there will be some accountability for the things that she said. There are at least some in border Patrol who were willing to come out and say Chief Aaron holland I know I remember Chief Aaron Holl from when I was down there. Here's what he says about these allegations about the facilities

in El Paso play Club five. The allegations are not accurate. It is true that we have more aliens in custody than we were designed to hold. But Aaron's facilities are inspected constantly by DHS and CBP oversight entities. Who was inspected January, February, March, April, June, and again yesterday. The inspection yesterday was by the CBP Chief Accountability Officer under

the Flora's settlement. This is not a secret how we're caring for people, and we've said in time again that we are maintaining with the law, with the court requirements

and are their own agency policies. However, our challenges that we have so many people that were apprehending for which we were not designed to hold those people, and they are time and custody remains longer because we can't hand them over to ice and Health and Human Services because they have their own resource constraints, and the aliens tend to build up in our customers and that's really what this is about. Say, look, they're doing what they can.

It's a difficult situation, but they're not concentration camps. And another part of this that just cannot be allowed to stand. This cannot be a part of the narrative that lingers out there that somehow Border patrol officers just don't care, just have not an ounce of sympathy, not an ounce of decency in them when it comes to these migrants that are showing up and their children, in many cases very very young children. That's just a lie. That is

just a lie. And that AOC would go on TV and say things that she knew was just meant to gut the men and women are board a patrol on their mission to just kick them, you know, as hard as she could in the ribs with the way that she was presenting what they were doing down there. She is a disgrace, a total disgrace. And I couldn't agree with new gang Ridge more. What she did is vicious lies, vicious lies that we don't even know what the long term implications of it will be. But she's been all along,

she's been saying that, you know, abolish ice, abolish ice. Okay, what happens, then you know these people, Remember, they're very quick to call for the force of the federal government. They're very quick to call for men with guns when they can to force you to do things that you may not want to do that they think are important. They have no problem with inflicting state authority on you

or any number of agenda items. I often talk to you about how I think that we are find We're going to find ourselves at a place where that there'll be a lot of people who are just not going to comply with tax laws because the federal government's going to have to make an argument at some point, if immigration law is not enforced and doesn't count, why should tax law. There's no there's no crup. No one is harmed by me not paying my taxes. Oh the state

is harmed. Well, the state is harmed by the violation of its sovereignty and the violation immigration laws. There's no victim. There's no one who can show up in court and say, well, bucks X, and if he doesn't pay his taxes, I can't feed myself. So why is it any different? What happens if Republican prosecutors start to say, you know what, We're just not gonna, you know, pay the taxes that you think are fair. We're not going to enforce this anymore.

They put people through hell, by the way, based on a tax code that we know is not just opaque, it is essentially undecipherable and is meant to be a refuge for all kinds of special dealing and self dealing and corruption. But immigration law is a complete that's just a suggestion. You don't have to you don't have to actually, you know, enforce these laws. And as we go into Independence days, we go into our fourth or July weekends, just note that this problem has not been dealt with

at all. It's not getting better, it is only getting worse. And that brings me to this story. This is from the Center for Immigration Studies. And once this starts to happen, then I do believe you will see a real change in public sentiment and there'll be a recognition that this is this is not just a kind of sort of maybe crisis. This is an all out crisis. This is

from the Center for Immigration Studies. The next influx the entire world poor and dispossessed, tens of thousands of quote exotics and extra continentals from around the globe are moving through Panama. This was just published two days ago. Like the proverbial belly in the bulge of the snake, unusually high numbers of non Latino migrants, obviously not from Central America, are now reportedly passing from Columbia through Panama on their

way to the US southern border. Their numbers range for the tens of thousands, whose vanguards have already been seen at the US southern border in recent months. You have Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Congolese, Haitians, Cubans,

and some from the Middle East. Word of successful entries in the United States this year has reached countries around the world, and the swell has reached a number as high as thirty five thousand on the migrant passage, repeating the steps essentially of those who have already made their way to our southern border. Friends, This is this is a problem. What happens when the migrants are now it's

a it's a global, a truly global phenomenon. It's not that hard to get a visa to go visit Panama, or not that hard to get a visa to Colombia and then just make your way up, Just keep going, Just say you're heading to America. None of these countries are gonna stop. You're heading to America. You're gonna go to America. You're gonna claim asylum. Five thousand here, ten thousand there. This starts to add up really fast, doesn't it. We're already on track for a million or what if

it's going to be a million? Five? What if it is two million? What happens then? What is the long term economic What are the long term economic implications of an effectively open border? Democrats have no answers for this.

All they have is the emotional manipulation of people like AOC who are trashing the people on the front lines trying to deal with this crisis, a crisis that has been made through decades of bipartisan illegal immigration in action, lack of courage, lack of conviction, a Congress that sits on its hands and refuses to do anything to deal

with this crisis. It's a disaster. A disaster, folks. Given President Trump's means spirited and often bigoted attitudes on immigration, it pains me to say this, but he is right that the United States faces a crisis with its asylum system. Democrats might hope that the out of control situation at the southern border undermines Trump's image among his base as a tough guy who can tackle immigration, but they should be careful. It could actually work to the president's advantage.

Since twenty fourteen, the flow of asylum seekers into the States has skyrocketed. Last year, immigration courts received one hundred and sixty two thousand asylum claims, a two hundred and forty percent increase from twenty fourteen. Even for reed, Zachariah knows that this is a big problem in the asylum system. This is exploitation, folks. This is people who understand what the laws are and are finding ways to benefit from those laws by lying, by breaking regulations, by not showing

up for hearings they agreed to show up for. It's just a free for all. And Democrats won't admit it. They won't. They won't say this is a problem and saying, oh, no, they have a right to go through the process. No, we know they have a right to go through the process. They're not going through the process honestly and in good faith.

This is a system, folks, set up for people who are really fleeing oppression, who are really fleeing violence, who if they were to return home, might very well realistically face a firing squad or torture, and then a firing squad or perhaps even their entire family being executed. That's why we have the asylum process we do. That's why

we take in the refugees we do. It's not because your uncle lives here and you want to make sure that you get access to Obamacare and whatever other federal benefits you get and are better economy and better rule of law. You know, at some point there has to be a recognition that what makes America America are the people here. You know, if you replaced America, all of us, with three hundred and twenty million Chinese, we wouldn't be

America anymore. And if you overwhelm the assimilation systems that we have in place, the social and cultural and economic assimilation that we've been gaged for a long time, if you overwhelm them, if you inundate them, there will be consequences. There will be disunity in this country. There will be separations that are not able to be easily mended or healed. And this is where we're heading for. And Democrats are just either a delusional about it, or they're laughing about it,

or they're benefiting from it. It has to stop. People have known a long. I've been saying, oh long, we know what they're doing with this asylum process. We know why they're claiming that. You know they're going to show up for these hearings, and of course they're not. Of course they're not. And they're using the generosity. These migrants are abusing the generosity of the American people for their own purposes. And I'm sorry, but there needs to be

consequence for this. This needs to stop. And the only way you get it to stop is by making it unappealing and by punishing those who break the law through this process. And if Democrats won't do that, then they need to just admit what they are, which is open borders. And if they want to be an open borders country, I don't want to pay taxes anymore, because what really is this country? What does it even mean? What does

it mean to be a citizen? What's the benefit? Tommy Larren's coming up stay with me all right, team, just in time for the fourth of July, also known as Independence Day. We of course have our friend Tommy Laren joining us now. Tommy Laren is a Fox News contributor and now an author. An author, and she is the author of Never Play Dead, a new book that just came out. Tommy, What's the latest and greatest? Wow Bucks?

Until last time I've seen you? I got engaged literally probably less than twenty four hours after I last saw you. So you must be my good luck, charms, best wishes, and yeah, I gotta say, I do bring all the good luck and all the good things happen. But the people listen to the show hopefully already know that. All right, Tommy, Never play Dead, cool title, You're Tommy Larn. They're expecting big things. Therefore, in this book, what is this book? This book is a little bit of everything, to be

honest with you. But you know, Buck, you and I go way back from our days at the Blaze. I know you don't have Blaze PTSD as much as I have Blaze PTSD, But some of the things in the book kind of take a look at that and some of the things that I went through, you know, on

my wonderful exit from that former network. So that's what really prompted me to write the book, mostly because I think that there are a lot of especially young people, millennials, who don't feel like they can fight back, don't feel like they have a voice. And I had to find my voice very quickly, not only because I was fired, but because most people are unaware. You and I were really the only Trump supporters in that network for a long time, even after the election, so never played ed

in all sense of the word. Yep, but that is a true thing. I remember the discussions about that in Dallas a couple times, Glenn looking at me and saying, so you support Trump? You and Tommy It's like, I don't think he meant it in a good way, but anyway, Yeah,

so we were there. We had that going on. But you know, Tommy, I know a lot of particularly a lot of millennial women that either listen to my show or that I come across and yeah, at different events, you know here in DC and across the country, they look to you as someone who speaks for them but is but is fierce. I guess you could. I think

this is what the cool kids say. You know, you've got what advice do you have or what what did you learn from this process that, particularly for the young women out there with what they're going to face being conservatives in America these days. What should they know? Well, it's just like you know, men. I don't like always just hailer my message to women, but I do think if I'm going to put my feminist hat on for a moment, which I don't own one, so that's going

to be difficult. I don't own a pain cat. But I will say it is sometimes parder for women to find their voice, especially conservative women, because the entire feminist movement has cast us out and said you can't sit with us, you're not woman in us. If you're not a liberal to not marching around the streets pissing at men,

you're not female empowerment. And I say bs on that, and I believe that young conservative women not only are we really the backbone of the millennial generation, but we're going to be big in a voting block coming up in the next election, and we have to learn how to get out there and make our voices heard. And we have to stop being so much the silent majority and get a little bit louder. And that's just not even women, that's conservatives in general. We have to stop

cowering in the corner. We have to be proud of who we are, and sometimes that even means that conservatives the never trumpers, as you and I both know, they're going to come at us too, So we need to be able to be strong, stand firm, have rhinos six skin, and be able to take on the battles that's coming our way. Where are we making gains in the culture war in your mind or at least where do you

see reasons reasons for hope? Well, you know, I think that Hollywood, of course, has been dominated by the left, so I don't know what kind of a foothold we're going to get there, But we are entering culture, and the more young people that get involved in the movement, that's how we kind of take culture back. But for me and I think the same for you. When I talk about conservatives them, I stay away from the social issues. I don't think that that's where we're going to necessarily

win young people. I think we win young people by talking about freedom and limited government. I think that's a message that resonates with young people and really of Americans of all ages. We feel like we can handle our lives better than the federal government, and we want less of our tax dollars to go to the swamp. So that is a message that's going to carry true. And if we stick with freedom, we don't have to combat Hollywood,

because freedom wins. All speaking to Tommy Laron, Fox's contributor, author of Never Played Dead. It's out now. You guys can order it on Amazon or and fine bookstores wherever you go to the bookstore. Tommy, you've spent a lot of time at the border. You've actually done frontline reporting in the last year down there. Of times I've been down there, I've been trying to raise as much attention about what's happening as I can. I know you've been

doing the same. We've got a bit of a paradox here because the border is the worst that it has probably been in our lifetimes. But we also have a president who ran on securing the border, building a wall, and changing this paradigm. So what should we think about that or how do you think about that as we're heading into the election season and obviously a lot of Trump supporters are going to have to make determinations about

how they feel about that. Well, I think we need a wall, and I've always said that, and our president knows that, and he has gone to great lengths to try to get that well built. But unfortunately he doesn't have the support. And when I say great lengths, I mean for goodness stakes. He had a declare a state of emergency to even reallocate funding to get more of the wall built. But besides just the wall, we need to get these asylums, these asylum laws change, because that's

the biggest issue that we're facing right now. And I know AOC and the rest of them like to draw attention to these detention camps and these these processing centers in our borbitual agents are doing the very best that they can. They only have so much space, they only have so much resources. And then I remind people AOC who went to cry her crocodile tears at the detention center. She voted against humanitarian age. She doesn't want to give

resources to CBT. So I asked her if she doesn't think that CBP deserves resources, she doesn't want to give ICE any resources. She doesn't want to secure the border. What does she want? Does she want to add illegal immigrants to the tent and the tent city encampments that I see in California every day, because I know, I sure as heck don't. They're just so tone deaf when it comes to the actual crisis. At least they're admitting it's a crisis, but their solution to the crisis is

open borders, and that's not going to work for us. Tommy, what is for you the biggest success that the Trump administration has had so far and what has been to date? Keeping in mind that this could change, especially in the next term, but to date, the biggest disappointment so far, thinggest accomplishment is the economy, because that's something that touches

all Americans. You don't have to like President Trump to be doing well in his economy, and I know that people like Joe Biden are going to try to give Obama credit for that. Now, sorry, it doesn't work that way. This is all because of President Trump, deregulation, cutting red tape, empowering small business owners. That's really where it is. An at tax cut for eighty percent of Americans is certainly helpful.

So I think that's his biggest accomplishment, and I think the biggest downfall, and it's not his fault, is just being able to secure that border. And he's doing everything that he can. I mean, he needs to get the right people in the right places. I don't know if you're listeners are familiar with Tom Holman, but he's a former acting director of ICE. He's also a Fox News contributor. But he's got the right stuff and I hope that he gets in a position because he's a bulldog and

that's what we need. We need some going to go in and handle business. I do feel some freedom to try and always call balls and strikes with the president based on his own agenda and his own promises, because one, I think we have an obligation to do that. I think we always need to be honest about where are you succeeding and where he needs more attention. But also there's really no danger of being too harsh with the criticism from our own side of this president, because the

other side is completely insane. So I feel like that's the good news. It's not like they're really an option. Well, no, they're not an option at all. And I don't know about yourself that I have quite a few liberal friends and if I asked them, just very honestly, who are you excited about in twenty twenty, they look at me like a deer in the headlights. They have no idea.

I mean, their candidate pool is so bad, and you know, they like to poke fun at us back when we were dealing with the twenty sixteen election and running up to it that we had so many candidates, and we did, but we had all pretty great candidates. I don't know what they're pulling from there, you know, I'm looking at that Mary Anne Williamson or whatever the heck her name is. I think they pulled her out of the crowd to participate in that last debate, but she might have been

the best one there. So sadly, that's what they have to deal with. I wish them the best of luck. I almost hope they find some bodie who's at least a contender, because this is going to be too easy

and we don't think it. Jeez. You know, I live in California, so I think once they start digging into her actual record as you know, a California senator, which she's done nothing but you know, as attorney general, and some of the things that she did prior to her you know, really political career and kind of the way that she elevated herself. If you will via Willie Brown. The whole me Too movement's going to have to answer for that one. There's some very suspicious things that went

on there. But now, I don't think the people in Iowa, the people in Michigan, the people in Ohio, I don't think that they're going to buy what she's selling. The only thing that elevated her in the polls, and what we're seeing now is because people going to watch the debates, they're looking at sound bites where she went after Biden for bussing, and they think that that's great and they're

applauding her. But outside of that, she has nothing. Tommy, before we let you go and enjoy your Fourth of July holiday weekend, what do you want people to take away from Never Play Dead, your book which is out now Ruin Well, it's kind of my tagline. I think we should stop worrying about who we might offend and

start paying more attention to who we might inspire. That's what I've always looked to do, and I think the conservative movement in some ways has been hijacked by grifters who were looking to make a quick buck out of a mega hat. That's not me, that's not you. I want people to read this book so they can really find their grit and stand up for themselves and do it because of what they believe in and know why they believe in it. So I hope everyone will check

it out. It's a great read for back to school as well. For those college kids who don't know how to battle the liberal professors and the liberal propaganda that they're going to come up against. I can teach them how to do it. She's a patriot, she's fears, She's Tommy Lair and everybody never played that as the book. Check it out, Tommy, give my best to the hubs to be, and thank you so much for joining us

here on the show. I'll get a wedding invite to you as soon as I figure out all those details. Was probably going to be a year, but black you will be there, all right, fantastic, I'll be there, Thanks so much, Tommy. Thank you. The story of independence is not something that happens and then we just put away, and it involves us recognizing that there's still people in this country who were going hungry and that they're not free because of that. There's still people in this country

who can't find work for. Just as we remain a nation of laws, we have to remain a nation of immigrants. And we celebrate the principles that are timeless tenants first declared by men of property and wealth, but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America. Civil rights and voting rights, workers' rights, and

women's rights, and the rights of every American. I have these vague recollections of when Republicans were saying Obamacare would kill jobs and crush freedom and bring about death panels, And turns out we're still celebrating the Fourth of July. Oh,

do you miss any of the folks. I just want to bring you back to a little bit of a little bit of memory lane there with Obama, what it was like when he was president on Fourth of July, The kind of stuff you'd have to hear, the sort of speeches you'd have to listen to, the Obama jokes about different things, and you know, weren't a different We're in a different zone now with our Fourth of July celebrations,

army or a different feeling about it. Look, I'm not going to pretend like the President doesn't also say all kinds of this president doesn't say political stuff and doesn't

take shots at the other side. He obviously does, but it just feels like there's a bit of a greater cultural acceptance here of pride in America when you have a president who clearly thinks that this is the best country in the world, no question about it, and not because he's the president, which was always something in the background with Obama that part of the greatness of America

was a temporary thing and a conditional thing. On Obama being elected president, that seemed like a quite a narcissistic view of the situation. But look, Obama's a narcissist. Trump's a narcissist. I think you have to be at some level to be president the United States to deal with all of this, to be willing to put yourself through that. But you know, that's that was the way that that President Obama used to speak about the fourth of July.

Here's how just by way of comparison, here's how President Trump speaks about fourth of July or Independence Day, which I know a lot of you're going to correct me on that. Okay, I'm saying them both. I'm covering all the bases. Play clip one We're gonna have a great Fourth of July and Washington, DC. It'll be like no other. It'll be special, and I hope a lot of people come. And it's gonna be about this kind tree and it's a salute to America. And I'm gonna be here and

I'm going to say a few words. And we're gonna have planes going over ahead, the best fighter jets in the world and other planes too, and we're gonna have some tank stationed outside. It's gonna be quite a spectacle, folks. I wonder how many of you listening here are going to be in the district in Washington where I am. But it's gonna be some interesting stuff going on. A lot of Fourth of July situation happening here in DC. So that's gonna be that's gonna be pretty cool. And

I do think that it'll be a great time. And President Trump is going to be his trump tastic self throughout all the all of the pomp and circumstance. It's gonna be here. But this is this is our national holiday, folks. I feel like we should get into it a little bit, you know, we should enjoy ourselves and have some let down our national hair, so to speak. But that's what I see happening here with the Trump fourth of July ceremony that's going to happen tomorrow. And I love this.

This is from the Babylon Be Imperial Atats begin arriving in the capital for military parade. Some of you probably know what the atat is. I don't know, not that many of you. Those those big like four legged walker things, like the giant super tanks with four legs that walk from Star Wars. Mark, do you know what the atat is? Oh? Mark, Mark's busy cutting up audio right now. All right, Mark, fine, fine, But that was Babylon Be. Babylon B is pretty good

these days. Get some stuff done. I do think that it is very important for all of us to make sure that this is a time when we don't just celebrate America, but we appreciate, appreciate what it means for all of us to be Americans. Right, so we get to run around and enjoy ourselves and and this is Look, it's it's a great country, folks. Is a great time to be alive, great time to be in America's no

no question about it. And that's why that that pole that came out this week that showed that there's so many people that don't like this country and their libs overwhelming them. If you if you really, if you're in America, if you are an American and you don't like this country, chances are your LIB. The overwhelming likelihood is that you're a LIB. And that that just makes me well at some level that that's just sad. It's just sad. It

makes me sad. But also I'd like to ask them what it would take for them to be proud of their country. You know, would they be proud if they lived in a different country and what would that country be? You know, no one says that this is a perfect place at all. That's not perfect. Otherwise I wouldn't have a radio show if it were perfect. We got a lot of things to talk about. We have a lot of problems to fix, many many issues to delve into, and battles to way to be sure all that's true.

But the same way that you can love a family member despite all of his or her flaws, but truly love a family member regardless, can't you love your country? I mean, isn't it isn't it acceptable to know that this is an imperfect nation, but still think that it's the greatest nation and be thankful for it and celebrate the fact that we're not some third tier former colony of Great Britain that nobody ever really thinks about. I mean, it was the genius of the American founding that led

us to this point. It was the incredible patriots, not just of the founding, but generations of patriots who fought for this country, who built this country, that made it a place where now we all walk around in incredible freedom and let's be honest, luxury, prosperity. It's an amazing place, folks. So yeah, I love America. The Freedom Hunt is very pro America, that is for sure. And so it was

President God bless him. So hopefully I'll get a chance to enjoy some of his festivities tomorrow on Behalf of America Team. I brought you the breaking news yesterday of the Eddie Gallagher situation. He was able to beat all of the charges leveled against him save one, which was

by far the most minor charge. He has not guilty of premeditated murder, not guilty of a number of other more serious charges, so effectively a an acquittal almost across the board here acquittal at all serious charges, all real felony level charges, if you will, for the civilian world. But we wanted to bring on our friend Tyler Merritt, whom many of you know as the CEO of nine

Line Apparel. He's also been following this case very closely and has been in touch frequently with Chief Gallagher, former Navy seal or current Navy seal rather Eddie Gallagher. So let's let's bring in Tyler on this one and we'll talk about some other things to Tyler, are always great to have you my friend. Hey Buck, thanks for having me back man. All right, so let's let's just get

into this. What this verdict came down, the jury slapped down all these different charges by the prosecution said no, sorry, we do not we do not agree with the government here that Eddie Gallagher murdered. This isis fighter. Um. What were your first thoughts when it was when it was clear that finally Eddie Gallagher wasn't facing the rest of his life in prison. Well, it's hard to disagree with facts. And that's what Tim Parletton came to me with a

few months ago. He said, Hey, listen, I've got this guy, and at this point he was not the lead defense counsel. He was kind of second chair that this guy gave me the information, kind of brought me in to see the video and all the evidence that everyone at this point was saying, Hey, there's this classified video. It's really bad. It's really damaging because you can't see it. It's classified.

Luckily for Clarences and being an expert witness us as to what happens when the munitions are dropped on Isis Terris, I was able to watch this video and it was very clear that Eddie was told by this Iraqi general, keep this boy alive. You know, we just dropped bombs on him. This boy, this military aged male, was just dropped a bunch of bombs on him and killed a lot of his friends. That he survives. You know, we were tracking him. You were in the CIA. You understand

his device that he carried. We just tracked it and dropped bombs. Well, while they're being told to keep this guy alive, that the medic there, he knew what would happen. This military's male would be tortured until he got more information than be killed. In the Iraqi general said so much and so he decided on a mercy kill and then decided to gang up with a few other individuals and form a modern day cutata within the Navy Seal military ranks and what you would consider in Vietnam era

fract side just more cowardice. They said, hey, Eddie Gallagher, a year ago, he killed this child, this prisoner, and it's just a false narrative. It was a way to get this individual they did not like out of the chain of command. And these are millennial seals. They've already know personally they've been ousted from Seal Team six, the one member who's there, and their disgrace to the uniform. Eddie Gallagher, think about this, twenty years of active duty

service and naval special warfare. Almost went to prison for the rest of his life. Had it not been for the intervention of the President, the intervention of Fox News, the intervention of many others, this could have been a travesty. Why do you think the system had gone against him up to this point. I mean, fortunately the verdict came down in his favor, But why was the government why was the military set on sending this decorated seal to prison for as you put it the rest of his life.

It's to jump on the bandwagon mentality. When Donald Trump inter ravines and then Hillary Clinton pipes up and says, this is despicable. This individual is despicable. You know what they're doing and trying to pardon him is despicable. With no knowledge facts or evidence the case. People just read the clickbait. They don't actually read the substance. There's still

so many false narratives out there. The bottom line is this individual's decorated war hero still is going to face administrative actions and they still could really mess with them. They've already taken away his pay. They've already reduced him in rank, which just so you know, the charge of taking a picture with a deceased corpse, there was over a dozen people. There are two food officers, no charges brought against them, Just Eddie Gallagher, Why are we doing this?

I hope that President Trumps still interviewed and pardons him. And if not, the two six hundred dollars, which is half his pay that they're they're taken away for months nine line is going to pay for as a big fu to this system. And I hope that there's a review of the UCMJ and this procedure because a grave injustice was done against the true hero. I mean, you come from the special operations community. I know some of your co workers and colleagues at nine Line do as well.

Was they are a pretty resounding support for Chief Gallagher from within that community. For the people that were following this case. I'll tell you in the very beginning, the narrative was Navy seal kills child. That was the New York Times reporter, that piece of you know what, that decided to spew this false narratives, not look into any of the facts, and create a hatred towards this individual who has children, who's got a wife, and they get

to wake up and read Navy seal kills child. Now they had their house rated on nine to eleven and brought out in their underwear, taking this guy to prison while he was getting psychiatric psychiatric atric treatment for PTS. You know, this is a movie that you hope is just fictional, but it's not, and I can't believe it occurred. We're speaking to our friend, Tyler Merritt's CEO of nine Line Apparel. He's telling us about what's what's been going on.

Here with this Eddie Gallagher case, which has mostly come to an end now, but as Tyler points out, there's still some ramifications of it for Chief Gallagher and his family. Before we switched topics, Tyler, just how's Chief Gallagher doing. He's in very high spirits. You know what. It's the same thing with their severely wounded guys out there. You know, our warriors are very resilient. Put him in jail for nine months, almost put him in jail for the rest

of his life. And you know what he's saying today, I would not give up one day of military servitude in the Navy Seals. It's a great group of individuals with a few bad apples, and cis great group of individuals. A few bad apples. JAG Corps, same thing, those few

bad apples. They need to be dealt with. There has to be repercussions within the system and it has to be reviewed now now, Tyler, I want to ask also about the Betsy Ross flag controversy with Colin Kaepernick, because you at nine line and oh, by the way, I don't know folks on today, but Eddie Chief Gallagher was on TV wearing a nine line, nine line T shirt I was wearing a nine line T shirt last weekend on an Instagram post, so people said, wow, you actually

really do wear the gear. Yes, in fact, I do wear the gear, but you do gear for a living, and Betsy Ross flags are apparently a problem for Nike. What I understand, though, is that Betsy Ross flags not a problem at all for nine lines. So what's going on? No, not since circa nineteen or sorry, twenty fifteen is but the first Betsy Ross inspired a peril collection. We came up with kind of our old Glory collection, and it was never considered racist or controversial. I've been selling them

every single day since then. I actually saw a picture of President Obama during US in all rations and with it the Betsy Ross flag in the background. So I'm confused. I'm very confused in how I become labeled a racists by some. I'm confused how this becomes controversial Because you have one ignorant keyboard warrior by the name of Colin Kaepernick. Yeah, I I equate to this guy. So the person who lives in their grandmother's basins playing World of Warcraft, no

offense the guys who play World of Warcraft. But I'm I'm making a connection there. He wants to tweet out some really tough guy things about you know, this is racist, this is controversial, and then never engage in commentary, never do an interview, never back up his assertions with facts. And now people are jumping on that same put Eddie Gallagher in jail for life bandwagon that Betsy Ross flag equates to racism. For this just insane connection that is

made between some individuals. I don't even want to highlight it because it doesn't make sense. But you know what, Ever, since we've highlighted that we are selling these shirts, I think we've sold ten thousand today. So there's obviously a large group of Americans who feel strongly that the Betsy Ros bag is not actually racist or should not be controversial, should be celebrated at the time that we broke away from the tyranny impression of England and we all different races,

ethnicities came together to fight for liberty. That's my opinion. And as we go off and fourth of July celebrations, Tyler, what are you going to be doing, what are you planning, and what do you want to say to everybody across the country As we celebrate our independence and kicking King George's butt. Man, this is a time to reflect with your family and to sit back and understand that you live in the greatest country on Earth, and you've been to some of the crappiest countries on earth, as I

know I have. And every time I hear people complain about what I consider first world problems, I try to have them understand just how lucky we are. But we're only that lucky now because of the individuals who fought for those freedoms from the very beginning all the way till now, and we should celebrate in ane of them. Tyler Merritt, everybody, former Special Operations Tyler Merritt and also

current CEO of nine Line Apparel. You can check out there Betsy Ross flag designs on their apparel anytime you want it nonline apparel dot com. Tyler, thank you so much, Thank you, sir. Happy Independence Day. Team. We'll be right back. Thirteen stars, right, that's the Betsy Rocks flag. And then they became concerned. They got some complaints from Colin Kaepernick, who said, hey, that's being associated with some unsavory characters, perhaps you know, the white supremacists and so on and

so forth, and they changed the reverse course. Yeah, well, you know, and I was glad to see that. And my hope is that they didn't just do it to do it, that they understand the significance there. And look, there are a lot of things in our history that are still very painful. The Confederate flag that still flies in some places and it's used as a symbol, and I believe that we need to move toward an inclusive

America that understands that pain. You know, these are things that people say that sound good to lives as they're being said, but if anyone actually spends some time to think about it, it does not make sense at all. It's really senseless. This controversy over the Betsy Ross flagman that that was Julian Castro or Julian Castro who. I don't even think it's going to make it into the next debate. I'm hearing he's not going to have the necessary donors and other people that have to be lined

up for this. But this is the most ridiculous, most intellectually dishonest, and just stupid controversy imaginable. There is nothing racist about the Betsy Ross flag unless you just believe that anything from that era of America is also intangent with racism. But then we have to change the names of all of our major cities, then we and when

does that stop? Just wait until finally the country realizes that abortion is the mass mass murderer, is a genocide of the unborn, And maybe then we'll have to change the names of everything, you know. I do think they'll come a time in the future. I don't know when it will be, when the American people will finally across

the board. I know many of you all realize this now, but that this is as as dark a stain on our history as anything else that you could imagine, and we will want to come to grips with that and deal with that. But I don't think that we're going to be saying, oh, we need to change the names

of everything. And I wish that that LIBS would spend less time focusing on optics and statues and old flags, and more time trying to propose ideas that would be helpful to the Americans that are living today instead of crazy nonsense that's never really even going to happen. But here we are. But just the best way I can shut down this whole craziness over the the Betsy Ross flag that Nike doesn't want to have on a shoes because Colin Kaepernick says so, Colin Kaepernick's a moron. Let's

start with that. But here's someone explained to me how this flag could be so racist and a white nationalist symbol when there were two That's right, two Betsy Ross flags on display at Barack Obama's second inaugural in twenty thirteen. That's right, at his inaugural address, folks, Barack Obama had Betsy Ross flags hanging in the background. Oh good heavens, we must all be just how can we deal with this?

So shocking? I guess no one told Obama that these were evil white nationalist symbols and they were just hung up behind him or Colin Kaepernick is an idiot. A Nike is run by cowards, and the social justice warriors are running around drunk with power and completely oblivious to any sense of integrity or intellectual honesty that they just don't care. I mean, here, Mitch McConnell, Cocaine Mitch, he's having none of it, my friends, Cocaine Mitch. He doesn't

playing no games. He's not wearing Nike anymore. He's Gonnadidas guy Cocaine Mitch I can tell. Here's what he had to say, Play sixteen. So if we're in a political environment where the American clergue has become controversial to Americans, I think we had a problem. I hope Nike either releases issues or some other shoemaker picks up the flag, puts it on a pair of shoes and starts selling it.

I'll make the first order, Mitch McConnell fashion icon. You never you never know what Cocaine Mitch is gonna be able to pull off. You never know how he's gonna roll. So yes, indeed, Mitch McConnell's correct that this was a stupid thing that they did. Oh we've also got our buddy Newt now to loot neotster Nuke Gingrich. Here's what he said about about Nike and what they did here in this decision. I wonder if I should check if

it's affected the stock price at all. Play fifteen. Parts of American corporate culture have now sold out, are so intimidated they do truly dumb things. What Nike did was truly dumb and a little sad. The idea that they are somehow embarrassed to have an original American flag coming out on the week of July fourth. Give me a break. I think people of Nike should be ashamed. I think the Nike stockholders how to be demanding that they change

their position. Raise is a good point that this, you know, this could I didn't even know that knew was going to say that in that audio clip, but I wonder if this is going to hurt them a little bit. Sometimes this wokeness factor can be a liability for the stock price, can be a problem from the purely capitalist perspective, and I would not be surprised at all if this happened here. Just one more quick note. I'm a little disappointed folks that maybe there was no way around this.

But you know Trump and the citizenship question. They've decided that they're not going to include the citizenship question in the census. This is ridiculous. That's because the left doesn't want us to know how many illegal aliens there are. And you know, we're never going to get these answers, never allowed to. Here's what Trump said about a play eighteen. Nobody can believe this if they spend millions of dollars

on the census and you're not allowed to ask. You go knock on doors of houses, check houses, you go through all this detail, and you're not allowed to ask whether or not somebody is a citizen. It's a good question, folks, It's a question that should be in the should be in the census, but it's not. But the administration is going to let it go now. It's a shame. We got more coming though, Oh my, just in time for

fourth of July Independence Day weekend. Here we go, the man himself, Jesse Kelly, all eight foot seven of him, joining us now on the Buck Sexton Show here in the Freedom Hunt. If he can fit through the door, Jesse Kelly is in the mix. What is up, sir? Oh Buck, I'm so happy for you that you get

to talk to me. I agree, And you know, I know that all of your fans down on KPRC in Houston where you're on from six to nine, I believe Eastern during the week or something close to that, that they're a little little jealous right now because I'm getting some special special Jesse time. But nonetheless, my friend, I just want to start with how's it, how's it feeling right now to Knopy part of Team Crazy. I a Democrat, I feel like we got that going for us, which

is nice. Oh buck, I've said it forever, and it's baffling to me how true it really is. All Democrats have to do is not be insane, and they can't do it. They simply cannot do it. I don't understand who's advising this party or maybe the truth of the matter is there's probably no big, you know, person over the top advising them. But every position that they could get out of step with the American people on, that's a position they not only take, but they go all

in with it every time. Yes, let's just throw open the border now and call border patrol Nazis. Yeah. I feel like at some point they're gonna have gone so far that there is no there is no ability to go back towards the middle. Where will normal Americans have their belief system where they are politically. I think the Democrats are already there. I think we're offering to get of the legal aliens healthcare and then say, but they pay sales taxes, Like, no, that's not enough, folks. You know.

I think that we've seen, well what we're seeing is the wiping out of the Democrat Party nationally. Now, I'm not naive enough to think that's a permanent thing. None of these things last forever. The Democrats will come back to power at some point, but at least on a national level, that's just not going to happen. Like you said, they're so out of step with Middle America. And I'm not one of these people that thinks, oh, everybody in Middle America is a card carrying Republican. That's not true,

that's not true at all. But there's some level of sanity with swing voters. You know, someone who voted for Obama twice but then switch voter for Trump. Not really sure. When you're standing up there on stage talking about transgender abortion rights, you're not speaking to that guy at all, and you're not even trying to. Yeah, yeah, it makes

it makes you wonder. At one point, the Democrats operating the comments section of vox dot com and decide that they're trying to win elections with human beings who also are not exclusively composed of the thoughts in the comment section of vox dot com. But well, we're not. We're

not quite there yet. I mean, today My favorite thing today has been the reality of what's happening here in DC with this parade, versus the way democrats, including like oh, I don't know, a tenured professor at Harvard suggesting that this is just like Tenneman Square except for everything, except for not at all. Honestly, I don't know how Trump is this blessed. I mean, maybe he really is touched by God. Fuck. I hate to be too hyperbullock, but

what more could you ask for? If you're Donald Trump? Then for enemies like the American press and the left like this. Anything he does. He could bend over and help up a sick puppy off the sidewalk, personally drive it over to an orphanage and to a child who's recovering from cancer, and there would be ten articles about

how horrible Trump is to do it. And so he can do something like just have a stupid parade with a couple of tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles and the Left will come out vehemently against it and make themselves look horrible. He's blessed to have people like this against him. I do think they make his job a lot easier.

In fact, one of my concerns right now as we as we head into for the drive, you think about what the left is putting out there into the universe, and what conservatives and what Trump are putting out there. And you know, they don't want American flags on shoes or versions of American flags on shoes. They find that highly offensive. They don't want any form of military presentation during an Independence Day celebration, even though people have been

pointing out all day. You know, Eisenhower and JFK and others, plenty of presidents have had military formations in parades and armored personnel carriers, tanks, etc. They what do they offer people for Fourth of July? I mean, just what a great country, Frances. You start to wonder, well, Buck, I hate to say this, and honestly everybody knows I like to throat some bombs and have some fun, but I really genuinely hate to say this because I do love

my country. We just saw that gallop pool come out where it was seventy six percent of Republicans are extremely proud to be Americans. Only twenty two percent of Democrats are extremely proud to be Americans. We have to accept and I don't like saying this either we have to accept they are the anti America Party. Now. I don't like saying that. I used to. If you told me that ten years ago, I tell you you were a nutball. Stopped to stop being hyperbolic. But that is simply the

truest man. Even the party of Bill Clinton is long gone. You'd never hear Bill Clinton, for all of his faults, stand up and say anything about America stinks and content traction camps and stuff like that. But that party is gone. Man, It's long gone. It is long gone. Now. It's just I don't even know what the Democratic Party thinks it stands for. But all the things that we used to be able to say on the right, eventually they're gonna be so crazy they're gonna support this. They now support

all those things. So it makes me wonder, you know, is this just gonna get normalized over time? Is their version of crazy just going to numb us into a sense of there's nothing we can do about this? Healthcare for illegal aliens. You know, you go down the list, thirty seven genders, ten year olds getting gender reassignment surgery,

socialists openly running in the Democratic ticket. It's just it feels like they're making it not as fun anymore, Jesse, because damn it, now they're actually doing all the things they said they never do. Well. Look, I mean, look, I don't want to be the resident cynic when it's the fourth of July show. But let's be honest, Buck, every slip with the slope argument has come to fruition.

That's one for two. A wiser man than myself once said, if you want to know what the Republican Party's position is going to be in twenty years, look at the current Democrat Party's position, and that is one hundred percent accurate. The Democrats have lost this battle. They lost the Trump, They're going to lose even worse next time, and maybe

lose the next couple presidencies. But at some point in time, this insanity will inch its way into the mainstream, and we're going to wake up you and I twenty thirty years from now, and we'll be having a big old Scotch in New York City and think, my goodness, man, we didn't know how good we had it back in two thousand and nineteen. That's a I get a little worried because I know that they will get crazier, But I can't even really anticipate the level of crazy that

the Left is going to be able to produce. At this point. It's like they're going to cross the streams. In forty or fifty years, the Democrat nominee for president will be a genderless president. Genderless nominee. You mark my words. If it's even that far away, Oh my gosh, Jesse Kelly, everybody's a host down at KPRC Houston of the Jesse Kelly Shows. You can also download on fine podcasting apps and such all over the place. Jesse, not Stock fourth or July for a second. Now. Now, you and I

tend to agree on things that matter. I don't know if we agree on all the things that don't matter, like, for example, your feelings about Keto diet. You know, I don't know. I got to look into this more. You tell me this, my friend. Um our parades fun? Are fireworks fun? All right? Dang it, don't don't pander. Don't pander to this audience. Okay, look, let's be honest your people.

Parades suck. Parades have sucked basically forever since the invention of the television and podcasts and Buck Sexton's radio show to go stand in one spot with a bunch of others, sweaty, smelly people for three hours as the kids are screaming, and there's a parade float which is a bunch of ribbons sitting on top of somebody's nineteen eighty one Chevy van. Is not a great time. It will never be a

great time. The only time it was ever a great time is when you were born out of your mind in small town America in nineteen sixty and there was nothing else to do, and hadn't been anything else to do since Christmas. That was the only time parades were ever worth a crap. Ever, I'm not a parade guy, so here we go. We agree on this one too, And now I know for you fireworks, there's the audio component of it, which is lots of booms, but most

people like the visual. Fortunately, you can always see the fireworks. Jesse and I know it's fun for kids, So we keep the kids out of this for now, because if the kids enjoy it, your parent, right, you want to have your kids have fun. That's fun. But for an adult, I feel like you've seen one set of fireworks, you've seen them all. You've seen them all, None of them are impressive, but I will qualify this. This is where

we're going to disagree. The problem, the reason everyone hates fireworks now and I get stuck in the same trap is everybody goes to an organized fireworks display. Whether you're in a big city, small town, whatever it may be, your area has an organized July fourth fireworks thing. And that's what sucks. You can't park, it takes forever to get in to get out. It's a nightmare. People are drunk, someone makes an idiot of himself. Then there's ten minutes

of fireworks and then it's over. It's another three hours to get home in your two hours fast your bedtime. The only time fireworks are fun is if you are in the country and you take a couple of hundred bucks with you and your buddies, pull all your money together, set all your fireworks out on a big piece of plywood in the middle of a field, sit on the back of someone's pickup truck with one or twelve years,

and set off all the fireworks. Now that's fun. Fireworks done by oneself or rather with a group, but done by one's own hand, as long as you manage to keep all your hands. Folks be careful safety first. Don't be like some of those folks out there who think that an m ad is a toy. It actually does have exclusive, does have explosive in it. It is something you need to be careful with. That I could see

being entertaining, but I do not understand. I mean, right here in DC there people look whatever whatever folks enjoy on their Fourth of July celebration, and you know, more power to them. But there's gonna be rain outside tomorrow and there's gonna be four hour long lines for some of these events. That's just not my jem. I find a nice quiet spot on the roof and I drink some mescow. Yeah, I don't look, I don't know what mescal is. I always call it a mescow because I'm

from Texas. But that's your call, brother. I think you must be right. That probably is the way to say it. See, I'm from I'm from New York, and we've just learned about this magic elixir that you people from closer to the border have known about for quite some time. It's it's wonderful, you know what's really funny. If we probably shouldn't say this on the Fourth of July bug. But Mexican food in beer is some of the best in the world. Mexican beer, in fact, is the best beer

in the world. And I know every Germans freaking out Americans different. Think about the list of Mexican beers out there, Coronas and Dosekis and Medelos and Tacati's and all, and we haven't even gotten to the hard looker of the tequilas and stuff like that. Mexicans know how to drink and they know how to eat big time. Jesse Kelly, everybody of the Jesse Kelly Show. You should check out

a show if you have not already. And you should enjoy freedom the same way that Jesse does, which is all the time twenty four to seven, but especially on Independence Day weekend. Mister Jesse Kelly, you, your fam and all your folks down in Texas. You have a fantastic one and we'll be in touch as soon as the Holiday of Freedom is over. Enjoy the Fireworks book, all right,

my friend, talk soon and team we'll be right back. Look, we are building out a large coalition program from Latinos for Trump, Black Voices for Trump, the faith based all kinds of different coalitions. That's an important thing for us to do. We need to turn out those voters. I think their public party is on a straight course to more victories. Went back the House, leading the Senate, and have for more. Here's a President Trump. I think we're in very good shape folks for twenty twenty. But I

don't want to. I don't want to celebrate early. You know. One of my one of my things is that if you celebrate early, you just set yourself up for psychological ruination when you lose focus and lose you know, it's it's it's important stuff. Not to get caught up in what could happen before it happens here. But I do think, I do think that Trump right now is in really

really good position for twenty twenty. That was Brad parscal Is talking about how they're building out large coalitions, and you know, this time around, you gotta remember not only does the president have the power of the incumbency behind him. Look, and this is stuff I want to tell you before we go off in the fourth of July weekend, because no one else is really going to tell you this, you know, on radio and in media in general. And I think and well, it's it's true in all news media.

It's gonna say it's mostly conservat me, it's true and all news news media. But on radio as a general proposition, you know, people want to tell you about what's bad, wou'd scary, what's going wrong? That's what general's attention. Also, you know, you need and an essential element of story is conflict. An essential element of telling a story worth hearing is there has to be, you know, the possibility of one side defeating another, or loss or or just

there has to be conflict opposing forces. It can't just be oh, you know. And then we went for a walk down by the river and the sun was shining and things were lovely, and we danced around and ate a bunch of sugar plums and whatever. So that's why I generally don't spend a lot of time and now there's anyone else you listen to do on radio or

podcasts on all the good stuff that's going on. But I would say to you, as we head into this Independence Day weekend, let's just all take a moment to realize that right now is a great time to be an American. You could say it's always been a great time to be an American, But you know, we're not sending hundreds of thousands of our men in uniform into you know, warfare in the Pacific or in Western Europe. And we're not staring down a highly nuclear armed global

menace in the Soviet Union. We seem to have, at least for the time being, been able to suppress the virus of radical Islam around the globe, at least as it when it comes to a major terrorist tax against us. So it's it's a very good time for this country. And you see so much negativity about Trump and it just doesn't reflect the reality of what's going on. I mean, America has never been more prosperous, more advanced, and in a lot of ways in a better position globally than

it is right now. We are. We're not in the midst of a major war. We do not seem to be on the precipice of entering a major war. We have a realistic shot at achieving a piece that could last, at least piece for us. We can't make everyone else in the world peaceful, but piece for us that would

last for years. The economy is absolutely booming, So it's it's I think, really worthwhile to as you celebrate this weekend, just remember that it is really I'm saying this with an all honesty, it's just a great time to be an American. It really is. And Trump is responsible for some of that feeling right now because he's a particularly proud commander in chief, proud leader of the free world

of this country. And then, you know, you start to look at what's going to happen as we get deeper into the election cycle, as we get deeper into you know, the the fight over, the fight over twenty twenty. The good news is, as New points out here, that's twenty twenty competitions objectly strong play thirteen. Who poses the biggest threat on the left right now for the President, Speaker

no one. Look, if the economy stays good and the President stays focused, he's going to win what I see building. If you the other I win. Every single Canada raised their hand in favor of tax paid healthcare for illegal immigrants. You can't get much further away from the American people than they're getting. So in my mind, we're going to have a nominee of the Democratic Party. It'll be a very left wing person, and they will have an almost

impossible time defending their positions. Yep, unless you have some economic catastrophe, unless you've got some big problem that comes up in the election year. I think you're in very very good shape, and that means that we're going to have former years of Trump everybody. So just think about that. Is you're drinking your Mike's hard Lemonade or your Budweiser or your Margarita's or whatever, you know, you're you're a non alcoholic spritzer that you make yourself, whatever you got.

It's a great time to be an American. Celebrate that. This weekend ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call, Roll call everybody. That's right. It's everybody was working for the weekend until this week, when they're just working for Wednesday because now we all get to hang out. Hopefully, by the time you are listening to this, you will in fact be drinking some ice cold brew and that

sounds like cold brew like coffee. I was called Bruce gees what I meant to say, And you will be eating some freedom burgers, which just means burgers made of meat. I don't even care how you cook them. I don't care if your burgers raw on the inside and chart black on the outside. I just want you enjoying a little taste of America. And that means some high calorie, fatty, artery clogging red meat. My man, because we only or lady, because we only live once, Yolo Independence Day style, I

did to. I will tell you today that out of curiosity, folks, I do this so you don't have to. I make these concessions so that you don't have to trouble yourself with them. I did pick up one of these beyond meat burgers today in Whole Foods, like the bougie urban sophisticate that I am. I got it, though, alongside a wonderful dry age ribbi that I'm gonna be making tomorrow, as well as a bunch of burgers that I'm gonna be making the next day. And so don't worry, I'm

not turning into my buck card here, all right. I'm still a red meat aficionado and a very very solid to above average grill chef. But I will tell you that I feel like I have to try these beyond meat burgers, so then I can effectively make fun of them. Because people people claim, and they seem like otherwise normal human beings, they claim that the beyond meat burger quote tastes almost as good as the real thing. And I need to put this controversy to rest before it spreads

even further. Mark, have you ever had one? I have not, but I would be willing to try it, right, I mean, that's exactly I'm not closed minded. I know it's not going to be as good as a burger. I know it's not going to be as good as one of those burgers that they would flip out at you at the lunch room that looks like at the surface of the moon on top, you know. And they have the bund that's been in deep storage for like six years, but it never changes colors. You know, even that burger

is probably better than beyond meat. But I gotta try it, gotta try it. I want to be a phony and come up here and tell you all beyond me because I've had all these other meats upsets anyway, So if you're a vegetarian, enjoy. I don't know how you do it, but enjoy, and you'll probably live longer than all of us. Blah blah blah. Mark, what is your go to if you can put? If I give you two things to put on the grill, but it can only be two

different things. Forgetting. I'm talking about obviously proteins, because sides don't count. You can have all the sides you want. What are your two proteins? I mean, we go in burger, chicken, steak, ribs, what do you do? It's definitely a burger, a good handburger on a charcoal grill. There's nothing better. And I'm gonna go with ribs here. I don't see this is a thing. I'm a steak guy. But if we're really barbecuing, I mean, if we're outdoors barbecuing and someone's doing ribs properly,

I don't know. I don't know if it gets any better than that in life. I don't know if there's a I don't know if it's possible to improve on that delicious smoky taste. And yes, I think the burger for barbecue purposes, the burger is the ultimate, right. If we're talking about the ultimate meat, well then maybe I gotta go with steak. But if we're talking barbecue, then

I think you go with Burgers, all right. So with that Facebook dot Com slash Buck Sexton is how we do our role call action, which is always fun, always fantastic. Let's get to it, shan't we. Harry Rights have a happy Independence Day. I really love your show. Well, Harry darn it, you have a happy Independence Day too, my friend. I really really mean this. I appreciate it everyone who listens to this show, who likes this show, I am

thankful for you. I appreciate your time. It is very meaningful to me that you're willing to listen to me, and you're willing to be a part of Team Buck, and you appreciate this because I appreciate you. And that's that's from the bottom of my heart. That's all. That's as as real as I can get. And that's true about all of you listen to the show. I'm I'm

a little a little thankful. This is, you know, around Independence Day and then around my birthday slash Christmas, which are close to each other, I get a little I get a little a little emotional about how much Team Buck means to me and how much you guys have in many cases you've been with me for years and years now, and also makes me realized talking to all this meat and tep talking about Team Buck, we do have to do a meetup somewhere. I will be at

the Ohoh. I will be at the Trump International Hotel tomorrow night, which is Thursday night. I'll be there probably from seven pm, eight thirty or nine pm, i'd say, depending on the mescal situation. Thank you, Jesse Kelly. Yeah, I'll be there. So that's if you if you want to come out and say, There'll be a lot of

people there. There'll be a lot of security there. There'll be a lot of stuff going on, people from Trump World, and I'm not gonna be the only dude there or lady there that you know from Fox and all that. There'll be a lot of people running around. But if you're in the DC area, show up at the Trump International. We'll take photos, we'll hang out, we can drink adult beverages and rock out let the good Times role. Adam, Right, the movie you referenced yesterday was So I Married an

Axe Murderer. It's with Mike Myers Shieldside. Adam, you are correct. If yeah, loant my body and you think come six sick, come one, baby like me. Now, it's actually pretty close to what Mike Meyers sounds like. He was. That was he got so far on a Scottish accent on his weird Mike Myers is really one of the most talented comedians of his generation. He really was. He was incredible.

I people used to think to Dana Carvey did better impressions, But if you look at the record of their work, if you look at the record of their work, then I could tell you that, you know, I think Dana Carvey was very talented to but Mike Myers is one of the most successful comedians of my lifetime. I mean, he's not quite in Robin Williams territory in terms of acclaim, but if you're looking at financial and franchise success, Mike

Myers is incredible. The Wayne's World's Austin Powers. I mean, he was a yeah, he was a very very talented guy. And never see I mean, I know he's a lib. They're all libs, right, but didn't see him like a I probably shouldn't know. I just realized, didn't he do the He's probably done some really annoying videos. Forget about that is the politics always makes situation you know it

is what it is. I'm sure that I'm sure that Mike Myers probably has videos and things he's done that I would hate, all right, Dale writes buck hearn doctor Strange Glove mentioned or Strange Love, but it's not Strange Glove. Sexton get it through your Head mentioned a couple of times in the show over the last couple of weeks. I really think you'd find it entertaining. It's a Kubrick film, essentially a black comedy about a catasty trophic nuclear incident

during the Cold War. Cast includes George C. Scott and Peter Sellers playing three roles, an English RAF officer, the President United States, and doctor Strange Glove him Strange Love. Buck get it together, man, get it together. A lot a lot of classic lines in the film. I never get tired of watching it, and don't think it would be a waste of your time. Shields high. Well, maybe

i'll watch it over this break. I'm gonna have a little bit of time on my hands, so maybe maybe now is the time for me to give it a go and check out some doctor doctor Strange Love stuff. See I sent it right that time. Also, you know what I realized folks, and this there's some movies that probably even shouldn't admit this to you. Sam, you're gonna be like, that's it. I'm out until Sexton catches up.

I'm boycotting. But I have never seen Bridge Bridge over the River kwai or and I've never seen Gettysburg, two movies that I feel like our holes in my movie watching dumb and I need to address both of those shortcomings, and I will, though, I will. Dwayne, Hey, Dwayne, I got a new damn it? What are the what are the lyrics? Again? We did this before Nirvana? Hey Wayne, Um, I got a new complaint, right, that's what it is. Mark, You're the you're the DJ. Yeah, Hey Wayne, I've got

a new complaint. Nothing fine, I'm I'm on my own. Sorry, I'm on my own here. Duayne writes, maybe it's just me, but Corey Booker's reaction to Biden's hoodie remark seems the somewhat racist response. Young people of all ethnicities were hoodies, all ethnicities and social classes. Yeah, you know, Duwayne, I gotta tell you, I think that Corey Booker was was reaching in that in that instance, really very obviously looking for any opportunity to bash Biden. That's that's all it was.

There was no good faith, there was no effort whatsoever in you know, being fair minded to Biden. They just wanted to trash Biden again. Old old, racist white guy was the narrative they were going for, because I don't think there's anything wrong and what Biden said, and I would tell you that obviously I'm not pro Biden. I just realize what's going on here. And I've been saying all along that Biden was never going to be the nominee. I think that's quite that's quite clear. Let's see here.

Next up is Tyler listening to last night's broadcast on The Blaze. Why would you reference the scotsman fat Bastard when talking about Saint Patrick's Day, which is Irish keep up the good work, shields high. I don't think did I do that. I think we're just talking about Saint Patrick's Day. And then I just decided to be looney here on the show and start doing a Mike Myer's impression. I thought you were doing fat bastard also one well if yeah, I want my body? Yeah you fat bastard?

Are you thought that was fat? Bad? Dude, fat bastard here. He's like, get in my belly, Get in my belly. You're we bunny loss Um. That's a little bit. It's a different although it actually is pretty much the same accent now that you guys say that, I mean Mike Meyers got a lot of a lot of a lot of mileage rather out of out of all those um, but you know, the Scots and Irish, there's a lot

of crossover there. There's some Uh, I forget how it went, but the Scots were colonizing Ireland, and you know there was all kinds of stuff that happened there. I don't remember the I don't remember the details. A lot of details kind of guy about it, but I got some stuff. John right hey bock lovely. So I married an axe murder reference Piper down Also does anyone call you head? Great show? He's got a giant head. It's like spot Nick,

it's got its own solar system. Uh, John, I'm I didn't know there's so many I married an axe Murder fans in this audience, So that makes me very happy. You people are catching this one. It wasn't a big box office hit or anything, but people who like it really like it, and it was. It was one of Mike Myers better films. All right, we'd come back. We got more roll Call on the way in the mix. Stay right there. The show ain't over yet, folks, It's time for roll call. I always feel like that roll

Call is a little bit of like Vegas Flash. I'm going out to Vegas in a couple of weeks. Turns out it'll be in Vegas for the Freedom Fest. I think it's called which might as well just be called Buckfest. But Freedom Fest in Vegas is in two weeks or so. I gotta go out there, do some things. I gotta see about some stuff, talk to some people, you know, do a little do a little razzle, dazzle as one does.

And yeah, that's what I'm planning. And like I said, if you, if you are going to be in the DC area, I will be at the Trump Internash Hotel tomorrow for Eric Bowling's show. And by all means come over and say hello, say hello to my little friend, just like that. Max. Hey, Buck, So you married an axe murderer. We all make mistakes. Whoa man? Whoa man? Time and introspection may have you wondering why you never investigate the only offer you have of correcting or Celiac.

Oh wow, interesting, All right, Max, you think you can cure my celiac disease. I'm gonna give you an email address. Let's see. Let's see what you can send me, my friend. That sounds like fun. Let's let's try this. Steve Rights, always listening to your show at work and listen to percentage of voters eighty percent In Australia, it's mandatory voting here. They're fined if they don't work. Crazy to compare mandatory

to volunteer when voting shields eye. Steve, you know I'd forgotten that point, and that's a very important point, so thank you for bringing that to my attention. Or correct it's also just a dumb point. I don't think that voting percentage is a sign of a great country or a not great country. I think people should vote if they want to vote. I think that part of freedom is not being forced to vote if you don't want to. Gina, all right, hey, Buck, I agree with you a thousand percent.

On parades, we spend five years in New Orleans and overdated on Mardi Gras every year, the crowds the parking hell, the lack of bathrooms and the ten deep on the route did us in. Likewise, fireworks have lost their lust or none of my kids are grown but have to disagree on bagpipes. Nothing beats a Loane piper on a hill playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes stirs my soul. Check out Thunderstruck on Pipes guy on YouTube. Maybe it'll make you smile. Shields High, All right, Gina, I will

take all of that under advisement. And I think you're right on most of the stuff, so yeah, we'll take it. Thank you so much, Man Orleans, Marty Grot. New Orleans is a great town. I gotta get back down there. It's been a while since I've been in New Orleans. Buck Shields high, and yes, you keep me safe and warm at night. But I digress. I bet you know this. It is not the case that the Oriental is all

about respect and saving face. I think our President Trump is crazy like a fox by stopping by the DMZ while he was in the neighborhood a mere five hundred miles away from Osaka, Japan, and giving Kim junk On some respect, whether deserved or not to nudge him toward the joining of nations. Wish I was Oss. Paul, Well, Paul, we'll make you honorary Oss up in Michigan. Let's see here. Next up on the list, James, right, I think I already heard you about the media. The Lib media like

CNN side with antifa because it's their posse. They use Antifa to silence conservative speech. The Lib media and antifa the fascist because they want to have their voice is heard and no one else is. Lib media uses Facebook for the same thing. Facebook is fascist and one sided. I don't see Facebook giving Facebook jail to Antifa. Facebook pages shields high up on WGY in New York. Big up to w g Y, New York. Hope you're all

listening up there. Continue listening up there because it's a great heritage station in New York state, my home state. And James, Yeah, they don't think of antifas as the threat that they should. And there's definitely a bizarre, you know,

fondness for Antifa from a lot of lives. That's the orihouldn't ay fondness, a kind of sympathy that they show Antifa that they would never show anybody on the right, all right, everybody that's in man, we're gonna be off for a couple of they'll be a Best of show tomorrow and I think Friday. We'll be back on Monday. You have your orders over this Independence Day. I really want you to have a RESTful, joyous and fant pastic Independence Day weekend. Please be safe, Please be careful out there.

If you're gonna play with fireworks, but run around with some American flags, sit by the pool, barbecue some steaks. Do whatever you do, just do it, shields high.
