Mini Mike Shakes Dogs Face

decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great American. Again, The Buck Sexon Show begins analyst, He's a great guy. No, welcome to the Box Sex and Show. Everybody got much to get you today. Are As is our standard, our custom, the way we roll

here in the Hut. Michael Bloomberg kicks us off today. Bloomberg, who is now after what two months of officially being in the race in his second month, I think of officially being out there spending so much money that people are playing games like how many Bloomberg ads they see in any given day? Blanketed the airwaves. He's all over the place. Michael Bloomberg wants to make sure that you do not have the temerity. You do not have the gall to buy a forty eight ounce soda for yourself?

How dare you, sir? Bloomberg wants to make sure that his anti Second Amendment crusade is successful at the federal level. Wants to take the guns away a lot of stuf. Abot Bloomberg. I don't prickly like some stuff. I do. Gotta keep it real here in the Hut. Always tell

you what's really going on and how I really feel. Bloomberg, unlike the Democrats he's running against, is able to read a balance sheet, understand how a business functions, knows what efficiency and effectiveness are, has actually done things, has built an incredibly successful business, made him one of the richest men in the world. I mean, so there's some upside here. If Bloomberg were to become president, it wouldn't be as good as what we got with Trump, be a lot

worse in a lot of ways. Second Amendment, climate change, nanny states stuff, a lot of things. Maybe a problem. But if Bernie Sanders becomes president, I think you probably want to get to that gold you've stashed under the bed or in the backyard, or wherever you keep your precious metals, which are a store of wealth stretching back millennia. Just say it. I'm I'm I'm a crypto guy. I can't tell you if that's going to be. I don't get financial advice here. I don't know if crypto is

the way to go. But if if Bernie Sanders wins that election, I can tell you this much, there will be a big stock market drop the next day because everyone's gonna say, oh, kind of see what it's like this time year in New Zealand, got to see if all that background we saw from the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies is that as beautiful as it seemed, because that's where they filmed. New Zealand's where they filmed

most the Lord of the Rings. Anyway, But the true Bloomberg story of the last twenty four hours is not just that he is involving himself in this race in a way that already is making something of a difference. I mean, he's a top five candidate. There are people that have been running all along on the Democrat side who aren't nearly in the same category. It helps to be worth forty billion ish. It's a private company, so could he really sell it all? No one really knows

what the full effective net worth is. One of my favorite listeners recently told me that one of my favorite phrases, nobody really knows. Do I really say that? A lot of producer of Mark I do man parallel. No one can really tell you. This is a very good impression of me that's making the rounds now. But I know a lot of things that I tell you, so that's hopefully helpful for all of you. One of them is this.

If you're going to as part of your campaign as as what do we call him Mini Mike or Little Mike. I think it's Mini Mike, Mini Mike Bloomberg, as Trump calls him. If you're going to make the acquaintance of a canine, you should look like you've actually pet a dog before, and you probably want to avoid what Mike Bloomberg did, which is grab a dog's face and shake it like some kind of lunatic. I mean, how did he would say like he wasn't tried. It's just funny.

I mean, this is ridiculous, But you know, you get politicians on the campaign trail and they're kissing babies and trying to show how connected the people they are. And now all over social media they are photos of Mike Bloomberg grabbing a dog looks like a yellow lab, which you're wonderful dogs, And as you know, I absolutely love dogs. I'm sure I think about ninety eight percent of this audience loves dogs, maybe ninety nine. There's a couple of you dog get a lot of dog and cat people.

There's some cat only people in this audience too. I've heard from them though cat only people, we gotta gotta bring you over to the dog's side. Bring you to the dog's side. But Bloomberg grabbed this dog by the face basically and like wagged it up and down. I've never seen anything quite like it, So you never know. It's something on this cat patre more interesting than most of the arguments that I've seen about witness no witness, what's going to happen in the Senate trial, which is

I've been so clear on this all along. When someone's thrown a long bomb in the end zone, you're on defense, what do you do, producer, Mark, you wap it down? Just wap it down. Don't don't try to get cute. Don't go for that interception. You're in the end zone. You don't want an interception in the end zone. Just wap it down. I mean, maybe you do, but it's Riskier's the point. I know the rules. I know the rules.

I also know the Super bowls on Sunday. So there he's giving me a golf clap right now, because it's horn to know these things as an American, and I believe it is. Also the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco forty nine ers who are playing in this Super Bowl. I've been doing my research. We have a man, Jesse Kelly, joining later if we can wake him up. I don't know what Texas time over there. I'm not sure what time it is, but we might have him

joining to talk more about about football. Also, hopefully my buddy the AIRUDT always sensible David Effoon will be joining to talk about the Arab Israeli peace plan that has been rolled out. And I suppose we can also have some fun with the Trump rally which I watched last night. My colleague here at the first Madison, Jesseatto, who will be in for me tomorrow on this show on Pluto TV Shell to forty eight the first, as well as on radio stations across the country one hundred and sixty

of them. Bam, that will be fun. But we watched the Trump rally. I'll have some moments from that Trump rally for you. But we're still figuring out this week. The big thing and you know the media fixation on this. Remember, because ninety percent plus of journalists are leftists who want the president gone, and so this is for them. The super Bowl is finding a way to help the Democrats get rid of this president. Not nothing else matters to them.

I mean, they were worried about World War three, and I see President Trump said that Bolton wanted world War six. If Trump had listened to him, that's what was going to happen, which I thought was a pretty funny line, also a little scary. But world War three was supposed to happen a few weeks ago because of Solomonny. Of course that wasn't the case. The genocide of the Kurge was supposed to happen because of Trump. That wasn't the case. China trade war was going to destroy our economy. That

wasn't the case. I mean, you know, Russia collusion was going to be proven, the president was a trader, not the case, huge disgusting lie. And now they're on this one. I suppose they don't think the journals and the Dems, the Libs, the Democrats, the socialists started using that term war. I suppose they figure it's not possible for us to have this is the last last straw, fatigue. I thought it was the last draw when I was a kid.

For a long time, like when someone were to draw their pistol, I just thought, was what it turns its last straw. It turns out so this is the last the last straw. That analysis from the media is in fact not working the same way they thought that it would. And that's what takes us then into the latest on this impeachment removal preceding the Senate trial. Here's the big lie, the big time. I mean, there's so many it's tough

to keep track of it all. But the big talking point that you're hearing from all them now because they desperately need to extend the clock, they need this to go into ot. See, it's we got sports analogies of plenty today because we got the Super Bowl Sunday. They need this to go into ot because otherwise the Republicans win,

and they know that. And even if they don't get a removal, this whole receding everything from the beginning of the whistleblower up to present hasn't damaged the president and iota not one bit, not a smidgeon of damage. You could say, not a touch. It hasn't done anything, in fact,

other than galvanize the president's supporters. And I think even people who are uneasy with the way President Trump responds to his critics have their difficulties with his somewhat coarse approach to either journalists or his detractors or just anyone

he doesn't like. But they see what's going on here and they probably say to themselves, well, if we have someone who's going to be in a street fight, as any Republican president under these circumstances would be just being a Republican with the journals and the Democrats being completely insane as they are, don't you want a brawler? They've put Trump through Russia collusion. He didn't invoke executive privilege

all the stuff, all the time. They had to look through everything, and remember if they had found other criminality, if they had found other really impeachable conduct, don't you think you would have heard about it that had nothing to do with Russia, collusion or obstruction. They'd found something else that was the biggest phishing expedition imaginable, funded by you the taxpayer, with pro Hillary, anti Trump Democrat lawyers.

It's a scary thing, just to say out loud, running the whole thing, and they weren't able to find anything. They weren't able to get anything on Trump. They put forward there's oh, maybe there are ten counts of obstruction. No, no, if someone obstructs, you have one count here's where they obstructed. You don't have ten. You don't create this a la carte menu so that that way you never have to defend any particular count. You just get to refer to the ten. That's not how it works. But now they've

put Trump through this whole process. Now they have failed to make the case. They failed to even peel off Trump supporters or independent in this. They're not going to get a removal of the presence or what do they want? They want witnesses. Well, here's the problem. When the Democrats used a zero witnesses talking point, they're lying to you, they're being intentionally misleading. House Democrats have called seventeen witnesses.

How many Republican witnesses? How many Republican designated witnesses have been called so far in this entire farce of impeachment? Zero, not one seventeen Democrat witnesses, Zero Republican witnesses that are Republican. Only the Democrats didn't want to get called right, That just didn't happen. That their case was rushed and weak is not the Republicans fault or problem. It's Democrats. Partisan hack Democrats have made this situation. They should deal with it.

Republicans are under no obligation to save them. In fact, Republicans would be abdicating their duty to their constituents and to truth and fairness if they bail out the Democrats from the mess they've created for themselves. They should vote to end this, and they should exonerate President Trump forthwith too sweet right away, You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I think it is clear the House managers failed to meet their birth They

failed to demonstrate unimpeachable offense. They didn't even so much as allege that the president committed a crime. The Constitution requires high crimes or misdemeanors, and so I am confident that at the end of this process, the president will be acquitted. I'm confident too good to hear from Senator

and constitutional scholar Ted Cruz. By the way, there was a tweet last night from Alan Dershowitz directed Elizabeth Warren, throwing some shade, as they say, effectively telling her just because you can understand the presentation that I made, doesn't saying about my presentation says a lot more about your skills as a lawyer, Elizabeth Warren. I'm just gonna put this out there. I was to say, which you will, about the dirsh and he's been on a lot of sides of a lot of issues. He's a lib. By

the way, people always forget it. He's a lib. I had to debate him once on CNN on gun control. He was to take the guns out of everybody's hands. Guy. He still is, but he has some respect for the law and the process of the law. He does see it as a system that's not just completely subject to the whims of the Democrat lib mob. At any point in time, and as a LIB is willing to tell

them that, which separate. Same thing with Jonathan Turley, by the way, another lib, another LIB that thinks that people need to stop pretending the law doesn't say what it says just because they really want it to say something else. Just because the Democrats have failed. That does not mean

Republicans should feel the need to bail them out. It also doesn't mean that we should believe anything at the media is saying at this point because they've been hoping in a sense, to restore some if not credibility, some belief in their power to direct our politics. I mean, the media is supposed to be a check on power, but as we know what most journalists are. They are the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. They are the

zone of dissemination. They're the area in which the information from the left gets fed to the rest of us. And yes, there's some facts, there's some actual information, like what's the weather and is their traffic? But in general the narrative is consistently overwhelmingly in favor of the Democrats. They see this failure of removal of the president through Russia collusion and the Special Council, and now through an actual impeachment. They must recognize this as their own failure

in some way. They just don't have the ability to shape and direct perception the way that they used to, and they were hoping that this would be an opportunity for them to get it back. They're also terrified at the notion of former years of a Trump presidency, where they will there will be a Republican who's willing to say, stop being fake news, stop being jerks, stop lying. I like having a president who will say those things to them. I much prefer it to the alternative. So clearly they

disagree with me on that one. Speaking of people who disagree with me, Adam Schiff, let's just play. I know every time Shift speaks a lot of you feel like you got to take a shower. I get it. I know he's gross, he's dishonest, huge, huge liar. Adam Shift is a liar. It's not just that I think he's wrong in things. The guy's a liar who said they

saw proof of Trump Russia collusion never existed. Why isn't he asked about that by every journalist that's now carrying water for a moment, Because they're they're like Shifts little minions at MSNBC and CNN, etc. Here is what he says though about the current state of this case. Play thirteen producer Mark I can tell you what my testimony is. He's guilty and he should be impeached. And I think

the idea is an absurd one. But then this is what you have to fall back on when you know just how damaging John Bolden's testimony is going to be. And I would say the same of Unter Biden. If they want to a witness for witness, then let them call mcmulvny. Mcmulvaney has said that he disputes what John Bolden has to say. Let them call mcmulvny, Let them call Secretary Pompeo. Let them call people that are percipient

witnesses to this scandal and this corrupt scheme. If they want to witness for witness, but that's not really what they want. They want a distraction, and I don't think the senators want to allow their proceeding to be turned into a circus. Two big problems here with Shift Shifty Shift. Two big problems. One, if he can't say let them call no, no, let them call who they want to call. Shift. That's the point. You don't get to direct who they call in the witness for witness squad. But this is

again a diversion. This is a slimy lawyer tactic. Oh yeah, sure, witness for witness. Let's do that. Here are the witness for witnesses that we offer. No, you don't get to determine what the other side can call as a witness. But then there's the bigger problem. How is it that Adam Schiff can declare definitively today the president of the

United States is guilty. He knows he's guilty, there's no question about his guilt, But then also in the same breath practically declare that they need additional evidence, they need more people to weigh in on this, and in the absence of that, it hasn't been a fair process. Why would you need more evidence if you already know that

what you think happened is what happened. How can you make a declarative statement of someone's guilt when then you're also saying the process up to the point of your conclusion about that guilt is tainted by the lack of additional evidence. How does he juggle that one? He doesn't because he's Shifty Shift. Thanks for listening to the Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the

We will now be finally able to enforce federal law and ensure that those seeking admission to our country are able to support themselves financially and not abuse taxpayer funded programs. They were killing

our country, killing our country. This is a big story, my friends, that has gotten almost no attention from the mainstream media because they feel like well one, they want to focus in on trying to bail out the failed

Shift impeachment. They want to do everything they can to use all of the all of the mechanisms that they have the media has at their disposal to bolster the case that Donald Trump should be removed from office and anything that isn't that right now at this critical juncture, to try to resurrect their hopes of undoing the twenty sixteen election and interfering using a distortion and abuse of congressional process, interfering with the twenty twenty election that if

that is in fact, what is going on here, Well, that's what's going on, and they don't want anything to interrupt that process. They don't want anything to be able to divert attention from the shining object they're holding up here or there to try to get people to think, Oh, wait a second, Oh Bolton's testimony, Oh Bolton's testimony. And just as an asside President Trump, why did you bring Bolton into your administration? Who's idea was this? You know,

I never get answers about this. It's very opaque the process of who around Trump is advising him on top personnel. I just I just don't get it. I really don't under you know. And now he's making jokes about the guy I wanted to start World War six. We all knew that Biden. Biden was described in the media as a super hawkl though. It is amazing and quite hilarious seeing all of these people who were once warning us about Biden's warmongering tendencies, you know, the Libs in the

media and Democrats across the board. Biden wants war. Biden's terror I mean, sorry, not Biden. Bolton, wrong, wrong, b Bolton wants war. Bolton's out of control. And now they're like, Bolton is a truth teller. How could anyone, How could anyone doubt the walrus? The walrus is like it's practically like the owl of the Great of the Great North, of the ice floes, of the tundra. You know, the walrus is the wisest of animals. I mean, it's ridiculous,

but that is where we are. I want to tell you the story about what's going on right now in the Supreme Well, what just happened in the Supreme Court, and how it affects a very important policy that the Trump administration is trying to implement right now. Let's just start. Let's start with basics on the books. For a very long time, there has been a federal there's been federal law, federal statute that says that you cannot be in this country as an immigrant and be a public charge. This

is very straightforward. If we're going to have a welfare state, as we do, depending on how you gage it, about a trillion dollars a year welfare state. But if we're going to have a welfare state, then we also have to have control over who comes and who goes. Otherwise, America is just a piggy bank cracked open for the pleasure of whoever decides to show up, come go as they please. This is what could be more straightforward than this. You're not allowed to be here as an immigrant and

expect other Americans to pay for you. Not allowed to be a public charge. Well the way, and this is a reminder of how just decrepit our immigration enforcement has, how utterly bereft of sanity. So much of this immigration. The way immigration law is enforced or not enforced, is

really the issue. It has been the case for some time that if you are in this country and you rely on public benefits, and this is for people that are trying to become Green card holders or US citizens, or people that are applying for visas me meaning you know, they can look at them, they can essentially try to gauge whether they will become a public charge if they come into the country. So it's a pretty broad range

of errors immigration law. This touches on. But the way it had been interpreted for a long time now was well, unless you're only going to rely on cash benefits, direct wealth fair payments, you don't fall under the prohibition of people who come into this country and are a public charge. So that means food stamps, housing aid, medicaid, whatever, you know,

free healthcare, free food, free housing. You can avail yourselves of all of those things and somehow not be considered a public charge as somebody who is either coming to America or trying to become an American. Because despite what Democrats think, just arriving on a you know, in an airplane, or walking across a land border somewhere or coming over on a boat and just standing in America does not legally or otherwise make you an American. There's something more

to it than that. There is a process. We do have laws. We Democrats Now it's oh wait, I mean you're here, you're gonna vote Democrat. You're an American. That's the way that they approach it. Great, you need welfare, fantastic, Then you're definitely gonna vote Democrat. That's their perception. That's the way that they then that's the reason that they then undermine so much of US immigration law. So what happened? Now? Why am I telling you about the public charge rule?

Because I think a lot of people are surprised to hear that. Wait, you can't just show up here and be on welfare and and sponsor, you know, through chain migration, you know, half a dozen or a dozen more family

members and everyone gets to be on welfare. And there's no problem with this in our immigration system, an immigration system that by the way, I just was speaking recently to a friend, you know, very high powered, very high powered friend who's who's from Turkey, and he's like, look, I've lost my job and I can't find someone to sponsor my visa. I think I got to go back home.

And you sit here like, so you have to the person that has all the skills and ability, and it is, you know, but but I had to transfer jobs, you know, and can't find someone to sponsor a visa. That person has to go home. And Democrats are like, eh, I don't feel for that person. He might want to keep some of the money that he's earning, so he might

be a Republican. We don't like that. But if you come here and you say, well, I want free housing or greatly subsidize housing, and I want you know, of food stamps, and I want free healthcare and of course you know, in state tuition for college and all those other things that the Democrats want to give illegals and let them vote, which they want to do that too. That's for the Democratic Party and all these activist pro

immigrant groups. That's no problem. They think that's fine. So people that come play by all the rules and go through our you know, byzantine visa process and don't want to overstay their visa because they want to be able, they want to be on the right side of American law. They have to suffer the consequences, go home, apply for new visas, get someone to sponsor their either. They have to go through all this stuff when all they're doing

is actually pay. You know, they're paying taxes and they're not getting there's not going to be any benefit unless they become a Green card holder or a citizen. They're not going to get any benefit of a lot of the taxes they end up paying as a legal employee a legal immigrant here. And so then we get to all, right,

what comes up next here? So now we've got this establishment of whether or not you're going to be a public charge, what's the next point that we have to look at, And it would be that the federal courts, which are being used, as we know as a hashtag resistance tool against the president, mostly Obama pointees. In fact, it's often the same judges. These same judges are becoming heroes to the left, especially in San Francisco Ninth Circuit

Court of Appeals. I mean, you look at where this has happening, keeps happening the same places, and there's an abuse of universal the process can be abused by bad faith actors. And there are judges who are doing that. They're judges who hate Trump. They're sitting there, federal judge sitting on the bench and they go, oh, I don't like this thing. The Trump administration is going to do

boom universal injunction. And their reasoning has been as flimsy as things like, well, I don't like things Trump said, and this is I don't like what Trump said on the campaign trail, and how that maybe affects this issue. So even though the legal authority is clearly there and statute, and from a statutory perspective, the Trump administration is correct, I'm going to say, nope, nowhere in the country are

you able to do this universal injunction. And you might say, well, how many times this happen is happening dozens of times? Now they keep doing it over and over again, and they keep losing when it goes to the Supreme Court. Well, now we have another instance of exactly that happening five four, which, when five four goes the way Libs wanted to the Supreme Court is sacrosanct. How dare you question it? Right? Obamacare,

Obamacare is absolutely constitutional five four decision in its favor. Well, this was a five four decision that remove the universal injunction. Doesn't it's not a final decision, but it removes the universal injunction that one federal judge put on the Department of Homeland Security saying, oh, no, it's a wealth test. You're not allowed to con sitter even though it's a function of law. It's in the text. You're not allowed

to consider whether an immigrant is a public charge. You're not allowed to consider whether somebody who was a green card hold that they're going to become a citizen is on welfare benefits. I mean, the Democrat platform on immigration is effectively, don't enforce the laws and bring the poorest non English speaking people you can into this country by the millions, because that's going to make this a better, richer,

more law abiding place. That's effectively of the Democratic Party's view on this issue, and what the law says doesn't really matter. There are a party of lawlessness, which, as we know, creates more lawlessness. If you don't enforce something for a long time, then the case just becomes well, they don't enforce it, So why you're gonna enforce it now? If this law is not enforced, why should that law be enforced. I mean, it erodes the entire foundation of

rule of law on immigration and everything else. That's what the Democrats do. And then the abuse of these judges with universal injunctions. This is outrageous. Attorney General Barr has raised this is this is it is truly. They always say Trump does is unprecedented, and then they find out, like every president before him did this thing. This is unprecedented. There were only a handful of injunctions against Obama. By

the way, those injunctions were right, they're upheld. These injunctions against Trump are over and over and over again from Libs who are in hysterics on the federal bench, and they keep getting overturned. No, you can't do that now, you can't just not like this. As a judge, it'd say, I override the executive branch. I override the President of the United States and the entire branch of government that he heads up. That's where we are now. So yeah,

that's right. If you're going to come to America and rely on welfare benefits, maybe you're not the best choice of an immigrant for a country that tells a lot of other people you can't be here. You know, you're you know, you're a Romanian PhD. And you're gonna do advanced research on curing cancer. Hey, you're gonna have to

jump through a lot of hoops. You know, you want to come here from Ghana and you speak you know, five languages, and you're gonna be doing advanced research on you know, the aerodynamics of a new fighter plane or something. You know, Hey, you gotta jump through a lot of hoops. You know, Romanian, Ghanaian, you know, whoever. But you're just gonna show up from some country and be like, oh, I'm an America. Now I'm gonna get as much as I can a lot of benefits, bring my family more

benefits for them. That's fine. The Democrats say, how dare you challenge that? Why do we even have an immigration system? Then they don't have an answer for this, of course, because what are they doing? Seeking power? That's what this is all about. You're in the freedom hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Is Hunter Biden irrelevant witness? Senator? You know? I think so, I really do. I don't have a problem there, because this is why we are where we are now. I think that he can clear

himself of what I know and what I've heard. But being afraid to put anybody that might have pertinent information is wrong, no matter if you're Democrat or Republican. Let's break this down for a moment. That's Mansion, a Democrat from West Virginia who did vote to confirm Kavanaugh, by the way, you gotta remember that, probably because he realized that about seventy percent of West Virginians wanted him to

and he wanted to keep his job. But here's Mansion being asked the question by Willie Geist, who I've never met, but I've awash heard. It was actually a very nice fellow from people who do know asked his Hunter Biden a relevant witness. And let me break down for you why the answer has to be yes, there there can be. They can try all these contortions about it it's not relevant. It's not relevant. No, it's absolutely relevant. What is the crime here? Well, as we know there is no crime,

they're not alleging a crime. What is the misdeed abuse of power? What is central to the claim that Trump abuses power? That and this is the this is the beginning of the of the entire Maelstrom. It's a fun word that we find ourselves in right now, right, So what is what is central to all of that? That when the President asked about the Bidens and Barisma, that there was no basis for that, that there was no reason for the President of the United States to ask

about corruption involving the Bidens in Barisma. That is, say, if in fact Hunter Biden was engaged in criminal corruption with Burisma, which we don't know because we haven't looked into it to our satisfaction yet, Yeah, we get to investigate things too. If in fact that is the case, then the entire rest of the narrative the Democrats have falls apart because of the president had a legitimate ask.

If the President had real reason to think that there was as I believe he did, and does real reason to think that there was something illicit going on there or something that, even if not illegal, was corruption that affected the implementation of executive branch policy in Ukraine. Again not a crime, but elicit wrong, problematic. The president is allowed to ask if it's a legitimate national interest, as we have declared Ukraine is an essential national interest, the

president is allowed to ask the question. So if at the center of this you have Hunter Biden and the ask about his conduct, which the Democrats have skipped, the part of this that they'd skip passed right away as clearly there was no it was a conspiracy theory. They say, there's no reason to think there's anything wrong here. No, there's plenty of reason to think there's something wrong here, and no serious person says otherwise. There's plenty of reason

to think there's something wrong. Okay, So then doesn't that make Hunter Biden relevant to this? Of course it does. But you see, the Democrats at this point are pushing for the optics. The Democrats at this point are doing everything in their power to make sure that if nothing else, this whole thing looks bad for Trump. They're not going

to get him removed. They're not going to get him taken from office, but at least they want to be able to cut some campaign commercials using witnesses like Bolton and you know, calling Trump a liar, and that's what they're gonna say. Look at Bolton, you know, the wal Risk. Everyone should trust him, the wise old wal Risk. How could anybody? And that's where we are, That's what this really boils down to. So I give some credit here to Mansion, who you know, it's a guy that has

to play a little bit. How Mansion is Now you should just be in the Republican Party at this point, I mean, I can't imagine that he But if we are going to look at the reality of a witness swap, there is no real case to be made. There's no real case to be made that Hunter Biden is not irrelevant witness, because it is in fact the question about Hunter Biden that is the is the genesis, is the origin story of this entire fiasco. That's what this all

comes down to. And if Trump's ask about the Bidens and Bizma Bisma was legitimate, everything else the Democrats have said, the whistleblower, all this other crap is a waste and a lie. So Democrats can't risk that. And if they're not going to give us a witness for witness swap and we do this. Republicans are completely insane. I think they're insane if they don't just shut it down this week.

My vision presents a win win opportunity for both sides, a realistic two state solution that resolves the risk of Palace City and statehood to Israel's security. This is the first time Israel has authorized the release of a conceptual map illustrating the territorial compromises it's willing to make for the cause of peace, and they've gone

a long way. This is an precedented and highly significant development. Mister Prime Minister, thank you for having the courage to take this bold step forward. Palestinians will be able to seize the new future with dignity, self sufficiency, and national pride to ensure a successful Palestinian state. We are asking

the Palestinians to meet the challenges of peaceful coexistence. President Trump talking about the newly unveiled really offer in the start of a peace process between Israelis and Palestinians, We've brought in our friend David Ifu now to talk to us about what this really means. He's the editor in chief of the Alga Minor Old buddy, mind, Dobvid Thanks so much, always a pleasure, Bud. All right, so first let's start with the president there is talking about and

is really step forward? What are the steps that I've been taken? I mean, what got us to this point? What's the president talking about? Well, I think you know, they've looked back at what's been discussed AND's what's been tried in the past, and I think what's unique about the approach that they've taken. You know, it's what I

would describe as a massacre of sacred cows. There've been so much that's been standardized about the way these discussions have taken place over the last decades, and it really appears like they've tried to look at this with a fresh, stivised, fresh approach and say, look, it hasn't worked until now, let's try something new here. And there are a few elements to what they're doing that are completely new. I think first and most importantly is their willingness to apply

pressure to the Palestinian side as well as incentives. You know, in the past it's sort of been pressure to the Israelis and then incentivize the Palestinians. Here they're willing to pressure the Palestinian side as well. Hopefully it will be yield different results, even though not many are optimistic. But I think there are a few incredible things that Trump has actually been able to achieve on the Israeli side, and that is, you know, almost unified endorsement of this

approach from the top political players. You know, the way things have enfolded in the past, you had the government was behind potential perspective American peace plans, and then the opposition would oppose it, you know, as vehemently as possible.

Now you have the opposition and the government you know, so far at this stage, because we don't know what the government would look like in six or eight weeks time, but it seems that whatever the outcome is, they'll have ground to stand on to be able to move forward. I think another thing that's a go ahead. Another thing that's super important is that they've been able to address

in a real comprehensive fashion Israel's legitimate security needs. I mean, the country has been traumatized by the aftermath of the Also Chords and by the two thousand and five disengagement from Gaza. Basically every inch of territory they've ever pulled out from has become a hotbed of weaponry and attacks, you know, against the Jewish state. So Israelis are really

really reluctant to engage in anything like this. But by insisting that that whatever territory the Palestinians control is demilitarized, and by ensuring that Aralis still maintained security control over those areas, especially in the Jordan Valley, I think it certainly puts the Israeli security hawks at ease over you know, what the security implications would be of having you know, effectively a hostile state established in the midst of their territory.

But now, how would this Let's just we'll get into how this might fail in a second, but let's start with if you know, so the Israelis say, looks like they're politically unified on this, how would this proceed if the Palestinians were willing to at least move this off first base, what would that look like and what would happen? First of all, just for the record, my personal review. My person on view is that no territorial concessions are

a good idea because you know, you can't. You have to take into consideration the response of the other side, and you know, the track record is pretty pretty clear. Any concession has left has led to more bloodshed and just a continuation of this conflict. But that's you know, we're that's my own personal view. We're analyzing, you know, how things may play out. In the event the Pastinians come to table, they might have some pushback. You know.

Jared Kushner in an interview with CNN invited Palestinians to sort of haggle on details, so you know, they'd say, well, we liked this part of it, we don't like this part of it. You know, we're willing to accept this. We're not willing to accept that that that might be a reasonable approach. I don't think there's any chance of that happening. The response is a day of rage, And I think Kushner said it right. You know, you're not ready to take the responsibility of statehood and behalf of

the people. If you're response to a reasonable proposal is a day of rage. Well, let me actually have Jared Kushner in a sense way in here producer Mark play sixteen. Please. It's a big opportunity for the Palestinians, and you know they have a perfect track record of blowing every opportunity they've had in their past. But perhaps maybe their leadership will read the details of it, stop posturing and do what's best to try to make the Palestinian people's lives better.

What do you think he's right about that? And you know people will say, well, they've been often much better stuff in the past, so why would they accept this. That's also true. But you know something a lot has changed since in The people are moving on, the region is moving on. You know, relations with between the isae out states are developing regardless of the Palestinians, and frankly

they're they're getting left in the dust. So yes, you might have got a better offer for your taxi medallion a year ago, but now it's not worth the same amount. And the current see that the Palestine is held is growing weaker by the day. I think Coast is right, Trump is right. This is really a last opportunity for them, and you know they can turn around to squander it. And then the response from certainly many of the reason it's going to be. Look, you had your chance, you

blew it. We don't really care about about anything that you have to say at this stage. If Azrael wants to go ahead and annex the territory, you know it's justified to do so. I mean that seems to be what the response in the United States is. They're saying

four year halt on new settlements. But at the end of that four years, if the Palestine is having come to the table, and obviously if Trump is still in office, he would probably finish off his term, his second term if he's elected for a second term by you know, accepting Israeli sovereignty over that entire region. What's basically the offer that they have on the table right now. So

what do you think they the objection? I mean, yeah, you mentioned that they've already had like a day, a day of rage, and there's people lightened, things on fire and yelling and protesting on the Palestinian side, which that is very unfortunately, that is kind of a cliche at this point. Whenever there's a piece offer me, there's always Palestinians who freak out and burn things and get mad. But explain to me what the what are their objections.

They're above board, you know, out in public objections likely to be over where this process is now from the Trump administration. Look, if this would have been the first time that they had rejected a peace deal, you know, you might want to it might make sense of delve into the details and say, well, it has this in it that they don't like, in that that they don't like. But they've rejected every peace deal that's been on the table.

They rejected peace deals from Baroque, from Homer, from you know, going all the way back to the UN Partition Plan. There's never been a peace deal that they have accepted. You know, the Palestinian charts of the PLO charts of the Palestinian Authority still calls for the right of return of some you know, seven million refugees into Israel proper. So the position, the unmovable position of the Palestinian leadership at this stage has been we don't want any choose

in the levant at all. Ever, and you know, if if that's if that, if they're not willing to move to take a step away from that stance, which they haven't shown any willingness or ability to do so, frankly, over the course of of not you know, the Trump presidency, but the course of the history of this conflict. Then you know, I think the Trump approach is the right one. It's psych Listen, you know, at this stage, we've had enough.

It's it's here's your option, you know, take it, come to the table, have a real discussion, or we're moving the hell on. We've had enough of this. You can't hold the region hostage any longer. Is it true that this is not? This is not Is it fair to call this? Would you call us a pathway to a two eight solution? Or how should this be thought of

by people that would like to see this resolve? Then, as you point out, even the region is kind of I mean, I remember I worked for Dennis Ross Gosh, I don't know, almost twenty years ago now and the Clinton years. I mean, getting an Arab Israeli peace dealing yourself now, But I know, I know that's I'm a great beard millennial darted although my beard is not as

dope as Dovid's beard. His beard is legit. But you know, I remember when that that was the if you could pick a foreign policy challenge, that the across the board. The intelligency in this country could have had a hand in fixing it. Was the Israeli Palestinian issue, really, I mean, that was the one that everybody was so focused on late nine these early two thousands. It does you know, Israel has secured itself, has built the barriers, understands how

to keep its people safe. So, I mean, is this kind of the last you think, this might be the last gasp of even trying to do anything other than just okay, status quo favors Israel. I mean, what happens if the Palestinians reject this, Well, I think you know, history will continue to march right on by them. I mean, these are people have moved on. They tried the other records in the nineties, they tried the disengagement, and they firmly reached a conclusion that territorial compromise is not the

way to go. And you know, you see that repeated Israeli governments. I mean, even the major opposition party, the bloom White Party, you know, is not in favor of the kind of you know, peace concessions that Barak and Alma had made in the past. The Israeli people who moved on. At this stage, it looks like the sort of west leaning moderate sunny states Gulf states are moving on. They no longer see. So the Palestinian issue is center

up to their relations with the Israelis. There are other issues I think behind the scenes that also applies with the Egyptians and the Tradanians. So really, you know, I think you know, what what Trump is saying is absolutely right. I mean, their history is marching on by. And yes, for a long time the Palestinians could hold the a Israelis hostage, but now they don't hold that much sway anymore.

You know, things have changed, Things have changed on the ground, the culture has changed, the geopolitical landscape has changed, it's shifted, and you know, I think you know, you're asking what the outcome will be. Obviously it'll depend a great deal and whether this administration is still in office in four

years time. But if they are, and if they're in a in a position to see this thing all the way through, I think they're they're just going to say, look, you know what, Israel, you can do whatever you want to this stage, we agree with you. There's absolutely nobody home, nobody talked to and you know, we can't just you know, put this whole region on pause until the Palestinians wake up. Dovit and Food and everybody. Editor in chief of the Alga Minor, they're doing great work. Or check out the

Alga Minor online today, Dovid, thanks so much. Al is a pleasure, But you're in the Freedom High This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. The House managers decided in the House they didn't want to call John Bolton. John Bolton went to a federal district court affirmative and went to a federal district court and said, Judge, I will follow your directions if you tell me, judge that I should testify. Despite the President and the White House were

invoking an executive privilege. John Bolton said he would testify, and the House managers went to the district court and affirmatively said, no, we're not seeking John Bolton's testimony. We're not going to subpoena John Bolton. We're not going to try to get him to testify. And having made that decision, they made the decision in the House it wasn't worth it. They didn't need his testimony. What's going on now? The House managers haven't proven their case. They know they haven't,

and so they just want to drag this on. They're playing a delay game. They want to keep this open for weeks and weeks and months and months and play delay and try to go fishing and try to find something because they haven't proven their case yet. I don't think that's that is a strategy that is in the interest of the American people. I think the American people are ready to move on. They're tired of this this circus.

And I hope that that that that we do, that we move on, and I hope on Saturday we vote on final judgment and we acquit the president. We find the President not guilty. Amen. I like Ted Cruz when he's all fired up like that. I agree with everything that he said there, and I don't always agree with that, but usually I do. I agree with everything that he said there, completely correct, spot on. That is what is

going on here. That is the game that they're playing, and they should vote to acquit on I guess it's on Saturday they're saying, now, should this thing should be over and done with? Let's just move on. Remember move on dot Org, the left wing site of just Collected bile and left wing refuse. Move on dot Org started out as a site about move on from the impeachment to Bill Clinton. It's amazing, isn't it? And now if you look at move on, it's, oh, we must impede Trump.

They don't move on anymore. No more moving on. They've moved on enough. They've moved on enough. Oh man, it's it's pretty amazing, isn't it. They should just do this, they should move to a quit the pres the United States. But there's an interesting development. This is will made me think that we should just return to this for a moment.

Reported here in Politico. One of the big weaknesses of this effort to take down Trump has been that it is not even in the least bipartisan, not a single Republican member of the House voting to impeach the president of the United States. This has been a straight party line impeachment which everyone until today, everyone would have agreed until now, until Democrats want something. I want that. That's what Democrats think. The law means, the Constitution means I

want it. That's why. That's what it is. That's all that matters. That's why I say that the Party of Cry babies. The rules don't matter, the constitution doesn't matter. They'll be hypocritical, they'll make demands, they'll lie about one thing and change their mind the next, and it's just crazy. Everybody would have agreed that you need to have a bipartisan impeachment until today. Now, all of a sudden, we've changed our mind. All of a sudden, there's something else

going on. It's different. Okay, well, as I says, because Democrats want something. But here you have political reporting. Quote. A trio of moderate Senate Democrats is wrestling with whether to vote to convict Donald Trump in his impeachment trial or give the president the bipartisan acquittal. He's eagerly seeking Democrats.

Senators Joe Mansion there he is again a West Virginia Kirstin, not to be confused with Kristin Cinema of Arizona and Doug Jones of Alabama are undecided on whether to vote to remove the president from office and are struggling over where to land, said Mansion. It's a decision that could have major ramifications for each senator's agacy and political prospects, as well as shape the broader political dynamics surrounding impeachment

heading into the twenty twenty election. This would be big, This would be meaningful if you had a number, not just one of a three Democrat senators who say, sorry, not going to go along with this sham impeachment of the president, because then what you would have is a political process that has shown zero Republican support for the conviction side, for the get Trump side, and has shown

Democrat support for the This whole thing was wrong. They're wrong to do this, and of course they have been wrong to do this, But this is where you have to think, Okay, well, at least be there's some Democrats that have the good sense to be considering Christian cinema. By the way, I mean, she's gonna you know, she's up for a she's in a different to stay for a Democrat to win these days, tough to win as

a socialist in some places. Unfortunately, too easy to win as a socialist in Massachusetts, California, New York other places. You still to pretend you like the constitution and capitalism. So that helps Republicans sometimes because Democrats can't get away with being complete commies. But then you have the Mitt Romney and Susan Collins and I think there's one or two others who are just still thinking about maybe extending this to give the Democrats what they want side of things.

And with Mitt Romney, it's just it's just all hubris, it's just all arrogance. I used to think Mitt was, you know, a really I don't know. I thought he came across as an earnest, decent guy, and now I realized Mitt Romney's a really arrogant guy. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.

I'd respect and resources to our military, to our great veterans, having the best economy in the world. Two new trade deals, two Supreme Court justices, two dead terrorists. That's two terms two two two equals two. I'm not sure but the math on that, but the politics works out. Two new trade deals, two Supreme Court justices, two dead terrorists referring to Kastam Salamani and Albubakr al Baghdadi not equals two terms for the president. This was one of the more memorable,

one of the more memorable moments from last night. You know, I've actually been in Wildwood, New Jersey, and it was by accident. Not that Wildwood is not an amazing place. It's actually quite lovely. I had a very nice meal there. I enjoyed it. But I was going to the Delaware beach and I didn't realize that there is a ferry. If you can drive all the way down for the tip of southern New Jersey, there's a ferry that'll take

you to uh to the Delaware side. But if you missed the last ferry, you got to like drive all the way back up and it's a it's a nightmare. You don't want to do that. So I ended up missing the last ferry because I didn't do my due diligence and stayed in Wildwood for the night, which where Trump hads rally last night. And I'll tell you, producer Mark, Wildwood is quite lovely. Actually, wait, hold on, you were late for something that's cold, you know, Does it always

have to be like that? You know, I'm trying to give a shout out. I always think of you as a b a guy who liked New Jersey, but you're actually Long Island guy. I'm thinking of moving in New Jersey. That's right. Though it saddens me because I've called it the armpit of America for a very long time. While you're gonna be living in the armpit, then I know you're gonna while. Although I think it's about a two and a yeah, that's so. Yeah, that's way down there. Um,

But so that's a nice beach. Actually got to check out the beach a little cold, but I mean it was still nice. So I have to say it was quite quite lovely. I highly recommend if you meant a lot of people love that area of the board, I'll call that stuff. Yeah. Yeah, And and last night you had thousands and thousands of people who were gathered last night. Yeah, Cape May the Cape May Ferry producer Eric actually just

sent that one to me, The Cape May Fairy. That was the one that I was trying to trying to get to, and yeah, I missed it, and so I had to spend the nine while I went to a great restaurants. Really fun. Anyways, all these thousands of people gathered last night. You see this Trump rally that happens thousands inside, thousands outside. It's it's really a cultural event.

I mean when you see the way that people will line up for hours and hours, it's as though they're going to see their favorite rock band of all time and they're going to see President Trump speak. We're going to have a lot more of this. There's no dampening of enthusiasm. I remember when you know, when Bush, for example, ran for reelection, it was you know, we had the wars going on, and it was a little bit of a rally around the commander in chief situation. But he

wasn't good. There weren't rallies where there were people that were camped out by the thousands, you know, over night on the street to make sure they'd get into And this is stuff usually going to see for a you know, a Springsteen concert, God forbid. I like, I like just poking the Springsteen fans out there because there's so many of them and they get all they get all touch you. But he's the best live act ever. Yeah, what's spring

born in the USA? We're really good. We're really gonna hang our hat on that being the great rock song of a generation. First of all, it's kind of anti American. I don't even get me started on that. So it is Springsteen, so he's wearing that little vest. Anyway, He's no cold Play producer Mark, he is no cold Play, I'll tell you that much. I'm not sure which one is more left wing, but they're both pretty left. Yeah.

So so anyways, the trump Er eye last night, there were some interesting moments, and most of all he just launched into And this this is why I think there's such a sense of dread. There's a sense of dread among Democrats going into this this reelection phase here for Trump, because his record is fantastic. I mean I say that, and people will yell, and then they'll try to They'll point to like some vox dot com study of how wages in certain states haven't and you know, when adjusted

for inflation, been quite as amazing. I mean, it's like they're trying so hard to find things to make the argument that the results of the Trump presidency are not the results alone are not sufficient to warrant his reelection. And I look at this and I just say, at what point is this just silly? At what point are they making arguments that are so foolish that even their

own side will see through it? And so they'll just make arguments about how Trump is unfit and he's a mean tweeter, and he you know, orders his stakes well done and on other things that are stylistically problematic. And his tie is too long sometimes that I don't understand. I feel like that's one you don't you know what I mean? If a guy spends his life wearing a suit, what's with it? You know, the tie should not be It should not be you know, more than any it

shouldn't be below the belt. And I can never get my tie link correct really every time. I don't wear a suit often anymore, but I can never get it right. I just realized I saw you at your wedding dressed up and it was I know, but I was like, oh my gosh, producer Mark, he's not wearing sports attire and or a sweatshirt, wearing any sports attire, a sweatshirt and or that's what I work in radio? What am I gonna come to work dressing up for? Just saying

it's not exactly, this guy is not exactly. Not exactly. Try to impress the bosses here with his startorial effort on our boss. I know they never see this exactly. They could be here, you don't know, never that's probably true. So you know, we have we have the things to look at now for the Trump presidency that are good are things that are objectively good, right the the and today is a perfect example. The President is signing the us MCA US Mexico Canada Agreement, which they really should

have come up with a cool name, you know. I mean, like, if Trump finishes this wall along the US Mexico border, or builds a lot of it, it it needs to be the Great Wall of Trump, you know, or it just if you need to have a good name for things. And this is a guy who understands branding. So I'm a little disappointed, even though NAFTA, you know, North American Free Trade Agreement is a kind of a mouthful, but it's got the acronym, and people in government love acronyms.

I used to be able to speak as a little CIA cog in the machine. I used to be able to speak in almost entirely acronyms, which, let me tell you, does not help you get a date on a Friday night. But I used to be able to speak in acronyms fluently. And the problem with USMCA is the us USA is USMC. Yeah, US is not something you can say. And it's also anyway, I know it's not a big deal. Let's get back

to the focus of what does matter. He's signing a historic trade agreement that is an update to NAFTA that is going to be in the interest of American workers and businesses. Was this was necessary? And I still remember when he was at the early stage of this, people were mocking him, saying he didn't understand trade. He's gonna

make everything worse, he doesn't know what he's doing. Okay, well, now we have this is a bipartisan deal, folks, I meaning that the Democrats have gone along with this too. It's like, yeah, this was this was the right thing. So even in the midst of an administration being under siege by unhinged libs, the president is still getting stuff done.

And not only is he getting stepped done, he's doing he's accomplishing certain things that people, even some conservatives in the early in the early phase of this, were opposed to. This wasn't an obvious thing to do. Why I didn't Obama do it? Well, I didn't, you know, why didn't Bush to the The NAFTA trade deal is over twenty years old. So how could any even think that this shouldn't be updated for the times, And that's what has ended up happening here. Will Trump get a China trade

deal in his second term? I think it's quite possible, but two new trade deals, so we're talking about the trade deals. Two Supreme Court justices. This is another area where if you voted for Trump, there were some people who just felt like, no matter what, if Trump gives us good judges, it's worth it to have him instead of Hillary. I mean that that was a broad stroke of their calculation, but that was a calculation people are making at the time. And Trump has been better on

judge Trump has better on judges people. I'm not trying. I'm not trying to offend Saint Reagan's folks out there, but if you look at the record, Trump better on judges, at least Supreme Court judges, and also the number of judges getting appointed now they've changed Senate rules, so I understand that. But you know, results are results, scoreboard, baby, results are results, and Trump is getting judges through in a way that will affect future generations. He's getting Supreme Court,

He's had two excellent picks to the Supreme Court. Now you get into he might have another Supreme Court pick if he manages to win reelection, which terrifies Democrats because, unlike other Republicans, unlike Mitt Romney, if he were in the position of president, which will never happen, Trump's not gonna say, yeah, I'm just going to concede to the other side, so they think I'm a good guy, and let's put some like basically some not so not so superlib lib in a Supreme Court seat, just so the

Libs don't get all upset at me. You know, let's do them. Let's get Merrick Garland out again. You know. No, it's probably gonna be Amy Coney Barrett if that happens, although you know who knows, but that's a likely choice. He's not gonna run. He's not gonna put a dude in this spot. That much, I think is pretty clear, because Democrats will. That would oh, democrats will in the Kavanaugh playbook exactly as they ran it against Cavanaugh all

over again. Any mail that they try to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg with any Republican conservative, they would find someone who says, yeah, he you know that he I was I was a waitress, sets this place and he touched me inappropriately and you know, hashtag me too and whatever. I mean, they would, they would find some person to make some story. They would do it again. They do not. They have not repudiated that disgusting assault on Kavanaugh one bit.

But Trump has been fabulous on judges. He's been excellent on trade. I mean what people keep saying, Oh, well, it's hurt the economy. I mean he's it's stock markets at all time highs, folks, unemployments at all time lows. How much? Yeah, I guess it could always be a little better, you know, the country could always be a little richer. But apparently the trade approach from Trump on China, dealing with the EU, with Canada, with Mexico pretty good.

And when are we gonna If you had told me when Trump came into office, and this is what really the rally last night reminded me of. If you had told me when Trump came into office that this is where we would be as a country going into his four year I would think, Wow, he must have really, he must have flipped a lot of Democrats to his side. Now Trump is saying that that is happening. Producer Mark

would you please play clip ten. The Americans of all political beliefs, are sick and tired of the radical, rage filled left socialists. I'd never saw anything what's going on in this country. What's going on in this country? The Democrat really, the Democrat Party is the socialist party, and may be worse, voters are making a mess exodus from that party and we are welcoming them to the Republican Party with wide open farms. The Democratic Party is the

socialist party. He's right. Republicans need to say that you need to stop walking away from it's reality. It's true they can call them democratic socialists, but they're on board for policies that are socialists. Now that's that's really not an arguable I mean, they can argue it, but that's not a point that fair minded people have any questions on. And as to whether or not there is this mass exist of the Democratic Party, I think unfortunately that's probably

not yet the case. It's not the case, although I appreciate the presence enthusiasm. Here's one of the great problems we have in politics. One of the issues with dealing when you're talking to a Democrat about anything political is that they have created a culture, a political culture whereby you are or in which you are linked to that party and to those beliefs, and that means you're a good person. If you're a Democrat, you're a good smart person.

They've really brainwashed people into thinking this. I mean, as a Republican, if someone brings me evidence that I'm wrong on something, that a policy would be better off, I'm always open to it, and I will change my mind on things I am not locked in. And I know this is true of many, many, many Conservatives, Republicans, etc. That I know, well, we will take on evidence and we will change positions on policies, because ultimately it's about

what's best, what's true, and what's right. Not I used to think this thing, and I'm a really smart, good person, so I can't change my mind on that thing, because then I won't be a really smart, good person anymore. Right, This is the problem with trying to convert Democrats. They internalize their politics so that it is a part of their own personal branding, their own sense of self. And that's why, unfortunately, I think as much as Trump, it is true, we'd love it and more than more Democrats

the marry. I want more Democrats listening to the show. It's a big ask. I think a lot of them won't, but you know, some do. I want more to. But we all seed to break people away from the idea that their politics in terms of policy positions and the party they support, is intrinsic to who they are as human being, because it's not. Every policy should be viewed independently.

Every issue, every party should be held to account and should be criticized, and we should always feel like we exist as as moral, ethical and intellectual beings separate from a political apparatus. We support that apparatus. We support those politicians only insofar as they are worth it on these issues. We hold them to account. We don't just say, oh I'm I'm up. You know, this is what I'm What I'm really talking about is to reject tribalism and politics. Oh I'm a part of this tribe. I stay in

this tribe. I don't ever move. No, that's a bad thing. If Democrats had not been so effective in creating that tribal effect, I think we would see many, many more joining the ranks of Trump supporters. I hope it happens. I'm not gonna hold my breath. You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. I know that you're not running, but do you ever feel the urge that like I could beat him if I were, or

like I wish i'd go. Yeah, I certainly feel the urge because I feel like the twenty sixteen election was really an odd an odd time and an outcome. And the more we learn, the more that seems to be the case. But I'm going to support the people who are running now and do everything I can to help elect the Democratic nominee. Spoken like somebody who's leaving the door open and just waiting on the sidelines for someone in the race to stumble what happened. Hillary is still

thinking about it, folks, She's still thinking about it. I mean she told us she's thinking about it, But I mean she's ready. She's ready. She is somebody who would hop in if they just all they have to do is clear pathway for all they have to do. He set it up so that you know, she can make the case. All the donors, everything, all they all just you gotta remember with Democrats, they've they've got they've got a lot of their states totally locked in. They could

run anybody. You know, they could run any person, and the Democrats are guaranteed just as an anti Trump vote to get you know, to get real, to get real close. It's only about eight nine states, maybe six or seven that really matter, maybe eight or nine that are in play in a realistic sense, and it's how do you appeal to those voters that could go either way in

those states. So everybody says, oh, I mean Hillary has universal name recognition, not necessarily positive, but universal name recognition. We gotta think, well, what would happen if she were to get in the race that I want to see, as I've been telling you, is Bernie versus Trump. That's what I want to see happen the race I think we will get. Actually, I don't know. I don't know. I wish, I wish I could make this prediction. Nobody really knows, right Producer, Mark, No one can really tell

you to really sound like that. It sound like one of the one of the like the trees from the Lord of the Rings. And your impression of yourself is just terrible. That's not surprising. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast. The iHeart radio app or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, team, we have yet again a special treat for you here in the Freedom Hunt. I'm in Jesse Kelly,

all eight foot seven of him joining us now. He is the host of the Jesse Kelly Show, a host here on Pluto TV channel to forty eight, the first. Also you can download the Jesse Kelly Show podcast. Mister Kelly, good to have you back, sir. It's good to be here, bucket. I'm thrilled for you that I get to be on your show today. Oh no, I thank you for making the time in the busy schedule and that we are all producer. Markets get super excited about it too. So

he's wondering when you're gonna come in here. But we're gonna have to We're gonna have to expand the doorway a bit so you can fit that frame all the way in here. My friend. What's it like, by the way, when you fly commercial, do they have to like put you in a special area? How do you do that? It's very I'll tell you this. I love being thought. Let's take a world. I kind of wish sometimes i'd stopped about six four or six five it is expensive.

I have the special or my pants. And when it comes to flying, either I'm in an emergency exit row or I'm flying first class with the snobs, or i ain't flying. It's just a bottom line. I do not fit in a noble economy seat. I won't do it. I'll just stay home. So perfect transition to the snobs. You will recall mister Jesse Kelly, and you're somebody who lives down in Texas. I believe you are from Texas. If memory serves that a couple of folks on CNN thought that they would have a whole lot of fun

at Trump supporters. The Trump bases expense by doing the whole you know, we don't lack maps, and we don't lack books, and haha, we can't spail. And you know, there was this hole making fun of Trump supporters thing, and look, it showed us what these lib journals really think of the Trump base. And they do think that,

by the way, it's not surprised at all. But instead of just owning it, you know, instead of just accepting that that's what they did, we got a on apology apology from Don Lemon and a producer Mark, would you play the non apology apology for us so I can't even it's on here somewhere. And one final note that I have for you, because this is personally important to

me to address this. Okay, anyone ask anyone who knows me, I'll tell you I don't believe in belittling people, belittling anyone for who they are, for what they believe, or where they're from. During an interview on Saturday night, one of my guests says something that made me laugh. And while in the moment, I found that joke humorous and I didn't catch everything that was said, just to make this perfectly clear, I was laughing at the joke and

not at any group of people. No, it's very clear from the clip Jesse that he knew exactly what they were doing. He thought it was hilarious, and he was laughing. So it's like, why even do this? Why not just so yeah, I make fun of Trump supporters, move on, deal with it. I mean, at least that you could respect the straightforwardness of it. I would have respected it more. And I don't understand why people do this because he

didn't help himself with that not apology. He did not help himself with anybody who he had previously hurt himself with. You're right, he should have just either said nothing, just moved on, because then hold would have forgot about it in the day, or we should have voted, stood up and said, yeah, I laugh as soon as I next chance to laugh at Trump supporters, I'm gonna laugh again. I hate you all. And he should have gone on

with it. But this is what they do. And look, the honest, the most amazing thing to me, Buck is how stupid they are. And I don't mean that, you know, in just a general way. How can you be so dumb as to make fun of voters that you need on your side for the next election. And they've been doing this for three years. Politicians throughout history beyond America have understood you don't mock the very people you need to win over. And yet we've said three years of

this of them skullboarding and shaming Trump voters people. That's not how that works. To need some of those people who voted for Donald Trump to vote for the Democrat

next year, or you ain't the word of the White House. Also, I just would note that you know, you've never seen I've never seen an effort among conservatives in the media to do a to single out a group of you know, a regional group, which is clearly what was being done there of millions of voters in this country and mock them in that way and really do so in a a mean I mean, they're saying that they're a bunch of illiterate rubes. I mean, actually Wilson used the word rube.

I believe you know that they're illiterate, they don't care about learning and all this stuff. Southern older white mostly males, I think we could say is what they're going for here. And I think the problem that they have at CNN and elsewhere is that they really do hold those people in contempt and put aside the stupidity of making fun on this way on TV. This just shows what we already knew, which is that they really do think this

about those people. They do. And I know you saw the gop ad heck you mtiflated on your show work, but the Joplady did a mashup of that CNN interview with other Democrat politicians running for presidents saying similar things, and so the average rural voter, that's when it comes down to. They think these snooty liberal eliades look down on them, and they're constantly reminded that their assumptions are correct.

Stop doing that, even if you really think that, Do what every other halfway intelligent politician has done throughout history and say it behind closed doors. That's what you're saying with buddy, when the doors are closed. That's what you're saying to your wife after a long day campaigning. You don't go on television and tell people how done they are to their faces and then tell them all, by the way, you should vote for my guy. That's not how it works. Did you see Bloomberg shaking the dog

by the face? You know? The funniest thing to me about Bloomberg is it's painfully obvious that Bloomberg is ts this fabulously wealthy. Sure, and he's a very effective businessman. I've even hurting wasn't a bad mayor of New York, but he clearly is just a jerk. The guy is a world class prick. Even when he's trying to smile,

he comes off like a world class prick. And so when he does these stupid things like trying to normalize and trying to look how thoroughly I am with the dog as I grabbed the top of its face and shake him back and forth. Abnormal people should never try to be normal people, because then they look even more abnormal. Trump the way he did it, right, That was the right way to do it, flying on your Trump jet and tell everyone how rich you are. Just own who

you are. But also he does that, but also what he says things like, you know, I like Big Max, and I like ordering food from like Chick fil A and KFC. You know, it wasn't like when John Kerry would all of a sudden decide that he was going to be having photos of him hunting duck in the foot out of the fields, and like, you know, like the next weekend he's wearing like a pink wetsuit windsurfing off of the you know, the coast of Nantucket. It's like,

these guys do this thing where they're so inauthentic. You can be a billionaire and actually be a kind of you know, lunch pails, sit down with the guys making the building kind of a guy as long as it comes across as legit. All of these ever, guys, I'm look blue collar Joe's another one. Blue collar Joe's a fancy rich guy pretending to be blue collar Joe is a total phony. Oh they are, you know, Buck, I'm

sure you've probably seen it. If not, I'm sure your audience has so deep on HBO, it's already done now. It was the most honest representation with a comedy, one of the funniest shows ever, most honest representation of actual politics ever. And that reminds me of a scene where the politician is going to get ice cream. Her staff is making her and she asks why, and it's that we're normalizing. We're gonna go normalize. And she goes and eats ice cream and clearly hates it and has to

pretend like she likes it. That is politics in real life, of these stooty rich people pretending to be normal when they're not normal. Just don't pretend, now, Elizabeth Warren, and we got Iowa a few days away. Well, actually, let first let's go let's hear what Biden's pitches to Iowa voters. Prucial mark play three. You want to replace his gaslines, and that's gonna work. We got to stop building and replacing. I'm gonna vote you in the general treat you're asking

coming coming. You don't support me, said support you in the in the general. I'm wow. I guess you know, mister mister mcgook can get crotchety sometimes, you know. The best part buck is one of the guy says, well, I'm gonna support you the general if you treat me writer and Biden Flower response, well, I'm not. And on top of that, I'm sure people have seen the video of this. He has his hands all over the guy.

He gives him that a little two firm of a pat on the chest, kind of knocking the guy backwards. He's grabbing his coat lapel's and he's just very kind of interidati to the guy. And all this is Joe Biden is a career backup quarterback. He was a thirty year senator from Delaware, which was all due respect to Delaware, which nobody's ever been to. It's not a major state. Then he rhymes Obama's coat deals for eight years as

vice president, would you have no responsibility whatsoever? And that convince Bide that he's some kind of prime time player. And he gets out here and now he's so thor over his head and that's why he's snapping at reporters, he's poking his finger in people's chest. He called a supporter fat the other day on camera, Joe Biden did that, Kim, I've never seen such a disaster in my life. Listen, fat, I remember. I remember. That was quite a moment. And he's like, I didn't call him fat. I was. I

was saying something else. I'm like, I love Democrats. They will say anything, won't they. Also Elizabeth Warren trying to trying to regain some of the momentum she had a few weeks ago. She says the poles are strong for a producer, Mark play eleven. Let's here Jesse's take on this one. Poles are showing right now, You're slipping, Bernie Sanders is rising. How do you explain what's going on out so you know, it's funny you would say that.

I really don't focus on polls and haven't from the beginning. I thought where we were going to start with. Is I just got endorsed by the Des Moines Register, all right, And I've been endorsed by the storm late times. You know what I feel, and that's all I can tell you. When I'm out in Iowa, is I feel? How many people truly are off the sidelines and in this fight.

People all across Iowa. And that's true whether we're in cities or rural Iowa understand that for decades now, we have had a government that works just great for giant corporations, works just great for billionaires, works just great for the whole lobbying class. It's just not working for them. And when you've got a government that works great for those at the top and not for everyone else, it's a corruption. And we have a chance in twenty twenty to turn

that around. And that's why I think so many people are in this fight. People want to make this happen. That's how we're going to beat Donald Trump. I talk about what's gone on for decades. Donald Trump has taken correct corruption to new loves. We're going to draw the distinction between a corrupt president and someone who's willing to stand up to those corporations. That's how I'm going to beat Donald Trump in November. All right, Pretty sure, Mark,

we're even code red. That was the longest solicit warred clip Jesse and I aren't sitting here suffering through that. The audience is suffering through that, no more than if we have a forty second limit on Elizabeth Warred from now on, I might even make it a thirty second limit. That was brutal. It was brutal being lectured by that cyborg librarian. So so Jesse. She completely skipped, Like she's asked about Pole, She's like, Oh, I don't even care

about Pole. So then she goes to this whole other It's like she gives her entire campaign speech in response to this reporter's question. Maybe that's why she's slipping relative to Bernie, because she's weird. She used me a Warred even how we just go through binding the backup quarterback

the entire Democrat field or backup quarterbacks. And the reason the race keeps fluctuoing him one guy being the lead and then he gets leapfrog, but then he gets leepfrog is they keep putting in the backup and the backup keeps throwing to me interceptions and then they're like, oh, this guy stuck. Now I remember why he was a backup, and then they turned to the next guy. I just heard Kloba shar overtook Elizabeth born in Iowa, pulling Cloba star of all people. Nobody knows who that person is

that she sucks fibers at people. Elizabeth's arm is never going to be the nominee because she comes off about as authentic as a Tiuana Rolex. Uh, I guess that means I need to get my TiO on a Rolex are praised. There we go. So, so, Jesse, who do you think coming? Did you have a prediction for us? For Iowa? I think I say Bernie Sanders is going to take it, and I think the Democrats have nobody but themselves to play. I don't think he would have

had a shot except they all piled on him. People expect politicians to attack other politicians, but when it looks coordinated, CNN does it, I know, Elizabeth Warren does it, then gets in on the act. Everybody pals on Bernie at the same time. Now it goes from politics to bullying in people's minds, and people do not like that. I've even seen conservatives defending that duttering, old old communist. That's

when you know it really did not work. Coordinated attacks like that do not want If Bernie wins Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, you see the Democrat nomintee in your mind, I mean, is that going to happen. No, the Democrat Party, for all their faults, I at least apply them on the fact they own the fact they are horrendously corrupt and bought and paid for. Bernie could win all fifty states and they would still find a way to slip a knife between his roots and give it to somebody else.

The Democrat Party would never stand for Bernie Sanders being their nominee. Very interesting. You heard it from Jesse Kelly. Everybody check him out on Pluto TV channel to forty eight, the first The Jesse Kelly Show. Also you can find him on the iHeart radio app. Jesse, could I talk to you? My man will talk soon. You're good, brother, You're in the Hut. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.

So it is the Super Bowl this Sunday, and I wanted to get the because I'm gonna be out tomorrow mass and Jessiat is going to be in for me, so I'll get a chance to chat with you all and Producer Mark on Friday. But I wanted to get a little bit of a little bit of Producer Marks super Bowl dues and don'ts. For example, Mark, what is in fact the most essential food to have on Super Bowl Sunday. So my wife makes this thing that is the all my friends love it. We have to take

it to every party. Buffalo chicken dip. It's so simple but delicious. It's just you take a road to three chicken, you shred it up, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, more cheese on the top, bake it. It's the best thing ever. That sounds amazing. It's so good. And it's, by the way, that is gluten free. I can tell, just like some cucumbers or something. Yeah, cucumbers look like a vegan. What do you think because I'm chips usually aren't gluten free.

Oh yeah, no corn cornbo Yeah, no, you're good. I'm thinking, like you come from my way? What is this we normally need? With tostitos? So, oh yeah, I don't some of those ships. I think doritos actually have gluten which makes me sad on the inside because derritos are deliciously terrible for they don't make gluten free ones yet. I'm I'm figuring it out, but so okay, So you get the chicken dip and then are you a big Super Bowl halftime guy or do you do you mingle with

the family and friends. Yeah, it depends on who's performing. Shakira and jay Lo. I like jay Loo a big out of the retirement home for this. Well, she was just in that movie. Yeah, that movie, by the way, I did not Okay, I do not approve drugging people and robbing them is horrendous. They very easily, they very easily could have killed somebody. I watched that movie in a plane and I was a paul By. It was based on a true store. I understand that, but they're

kind of like treat them. They kind of treat the protagonists in that or that, you know, the way the central characters like, you know, yeah, we were just kind of like pushing the envelope a little bit. You They easily could have killed somebody doing that. I just think it was very boring. It was repetitive. It's like, all right, we're doing this thing, and we do it again, and we do it like there was no like big moment. Yeah.

I think that there was kind of lionizing these So this is the movie Hustlers, by the way, I think it was lionizing these women who were who were fraudsters and thieves and putting the biggest thing for me is they're putting people's lives in chaparda. I mean, and there's no way around that. I mean, when you're drugging people with MDMA and ketamine. They're not chemists, they're not pharmacists. They don't know what they're doing. They're just trying this

out on people. They don't know what they don't know what drugs are already in somebody's system, prescription drugs, perhaps drug interactions, super dangerous. What they were doing people are Oh they didn't kill anybody they could have. That's why drugging people is a very serious crime. So anyway, I know,

I just uh, you know, jail. By the way, there's one of them, is one of the women that that's based on suing the movie really for not making her look more you know, ethical, not to the guy she ripped them off, she agrees, but ethical to her colleagues and uh, you know, partners in crime. Oh well, yes, you know. Honor among thieves essentially is what what is expected. I suppose she deserves because she's just a great person. Yeah, but were you Hesh Kira had a song in fifteen

years that anyone knows. Why can't they get a band that anyone actually gets anyone gets excited about for this. I don't understand. I think ever since the justin Timberlake Janet Jackson, it's been down and yet what is the super Bowl halftime show that everybody remembers that one? Yeah?

I mean, I feel like it's usually a combination of like, you know, well known hip hop guy comes in at some point, and then Aerosmith has to come in at some point, and then there's kind of the like broad like biggest you know, denominator of viewership, listenership, you know, a band like you two or Cold Player or something. It's like, at least it's finally gotten back to pop stars because for a while it was like Tom Petty and like these older guys who you knew weren't going

to do anything like show their nipple. You know, it isn't is that is that boomers Boomers think that the music of their generation those acts. Its not the music. The music is timeless, but that those acts I've never I've never heard of boomer who was willing to say that Mick Jagger just needs to hang it up, like it's enough is enough, Like it's too much. Have you seen those videos of him dancing it like what is the eighty see dances better than me, moves around than

moves around better than I do too. But it doesn't mean it's not time for him to think about something else. I'm just saying that's right. I get salty with this. The music love performing can take it away from them. Thanks for listening to The bus Essen Show podcasts.

Haven't felt the pain that Sharper in a while forty seven years old, to lost two grandmothers, lost to sarge, lost my sister, and now

I lost my little brother. It just makes me think that in life sometimes instead of holding them back a certain things, we should just do feel up here, we work a lot, and I think a lot of times we take stuff for rabbit, Like I don't talk to you guys as much as much as I mean truth. The fact that we're not going to be able to Joe got his Hall of Fame ceremony. We're not gonna be able to say I got five, you got four. The fact that we're not gonna be able to say,

if we would stay together, we got ten. Both are the Bears sharing get back? Seaquille O'Neill. It's a gut punch just listening to it. Seaquille O'Neill talking about the loss that he feels after the tragic and highly untimely death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gianna, and seven other people in a helicopter crash that now they say they didn't have an early on. They didn't have an elevation detection warning equipment that is recommended, but I think not

required on all helicopters. You know, you would think that in a situation like this. Kobe Bryant was someone who flew in helicopters constantly. He did this regularly. This was not a one off. You would expect that his pilot would have had all of the most advanced equipment to make sure that safety was the priority. And the NTSB says that it will be twelve to eighteen months before they leave and really know fully what happened in the crash. But Shack, I've never seen or heard Shack cry before.

I don't know if any of you have in some other instance, maybe maybe cheers of joy after winning a national championship, but I've never heard him breakdown like that. He obviously feels a lot of pain from missing Kobe Bryant, and it just would never occur to the people that were very close with someone who is still so young, so vital, so much a part of the public consciousness,

that this could happen. And it has been. It has been sad, and it has been touching to hear the stories that people share of their personal interaction with Kobe Bryant. And then there's this other part of this figure who was clearly one of the best athletes in the world in his sport, one of the most famous and most accomplished basketball players of all time, but also did things

that I had never heard of before. I'd never heard of him doing these things before, and that I think that he should We should remember some of what Kobe Bryant did in his life. This was making the rounds on Facebook from Kristen O'Connor Hecked and it's a story that she told and I just wanted to share with you here. This is just right off of her Facebook page.

So I have a story. When we lived in Phoenix, frequently my and Tom Tom Hecked Tom's paths would cross in our work a pediatric cardiologist I worked with asked me if Tom could get an autograph something from the Lakers for a five year old dying patient who was named Kobe. He was one of the reservations in Arizona, where basketball is life. I called Tom at the Phoenix Suns making the request, believing that there would be virtually no way this would happen. The Lakers were coming to

play the Suns later in the week. A day later, Tom called me and said he'll do it. I was thrilled and thought I'd bring the ball or whatever it was to work that day. Tom said no, he read your story. He wants to come and meet the little boy. I was floored. So the next day, with the support of the Colangelo family, a limousine brought Kobe Bryant to my office under a cloak of secrecy, neither security nor pr present. I got in a little trouble for that,

but it was so worth it. The three of us scrambled up a backstaircase to this little boy's room in the cardiac intensive care unit. For the better part of an hour, they played basketball, passing it back and forth, with little Kobe laughing, his sweet mama smiling and all so laughing. Several autographed items were left and many photos

were taken. The machines keeping him alive were dinging, whirring, and alarming, and his doc was just grinning from ear to ear as Tom and I stood nervously watching this unbelievable scene unfold before us. As we got back in the limo, Kobe turned to me and said, Kristen, what can I do to help? Is it a financial thing, because I can take care of that. It wasn't. The little boy had a heart defect and was too ill

for a transplant. I was floored. I was floored not only by his sincerity and offer of generosity, but the kindness and warmth he displayed. Little Kobe passed away the following week. About three weeks later, I got a letter from Little Kobe's mom describing the power in those moments. She said, those were the most joyful moments of his entire life. The photos were the only photos she had of him where he was smiling. According to Kobe's PR people, he did this everywhere, but the deal was no PR.

From that day on, he has been my hero, and when people would tell me they didn't like him, I would say let me tell you a story about Kobe Bryant. May God shine eternal light upon your soul. Kobe. You're in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast, Team Bucking. It's time for roll call. All right, roll call, everybody's let's get to It's see what we got today.

I remember, if you want to send in something for roll call, Facebook dot com, slash Buck Sexton, send us a message there or if you prefer email, Team Buck at I heart edia dot com. All right, let's see what we got here. Um, hi, Buck, a few things. It's not Porsche. It's Porsche. There is no awe at the end. I know you're not a car guy. I can forgive this, but you're hurting my car girl ears every time you mispronounced the name of such a lovely car.

Is that true? It's just called a Porsche, because I mean, I believe that your name comes from German and it would be Porsche. In German, it wouldn't be the name is Porsche, like the name of the human beings. I think in America it's called we just called a Porsche. I remember there was an episode of Fresh Prince of bel Air where Will and Hillary are arguing Porsche or Porsche. Really, that's the only reason I know the difference. I mean, it's you know, it could be one of those things.

It's a little bit like you know the name. I mean it Notre Dame is the French, but Notre Dame is the school. So maybe that's we call it a porschere, but I don't think they call it a Porsche in Germany, where it is made. Probably not. It's one of those American I don't know, Laurel. I gotta check this one. Adidas is Adidas overseas. Yeah, so maybe it's poor scheer but poor show overseas. I'll look into this. Another one people get wrong all the time. By the way, it's

Heckler and Coke, not Heckler and Koch. A lot of people say that one for HK, the firearms manufacturer's trying to help people out over my head there for At first, I thought you were talking about an alcoholic beverage. I probably know more about guns than sports these days, Laurel. Oh, wait, we were just doing Laurelin, please don't watch The Bachelor.

I'm always amazed how many card carrying feminists gets so excited over what I think is a twenty two year old guys dream of having a house full of hot girls falling all over those sums to be with him anyway. Wait, wait, this is why relationships hold on. I can't it's not working. My phone just froze up there. Sorry, but yes, I agree with you. I don't understand why any female who thinks of herself as a feminist, or just any female peer it likes watching all these women fight over one

guy in this contrived environment. It's bizarre to be I do not understand. But you know I'm not a reality TV guy. What can I say? Tim, Greetings from the Upstate region of the people Socialist Republic of New York. I recently came across a post on Facebook promoting the Article five Convention of the States, which I'm in favor of.

I'm concerned with the comments on that post. A lot of conservatives and patriots writing any political solutions off and hinding its civil disobedience in civil war being the only remaining solution. It appears at Frustration over ramping, corruption and lying by politicians has brought people to a point of hopelessness in any process. Your thoughts shields high, Tim, the Convention of the States is a very interesting idea. It will not happen in my lifetime. So that's my prediction.

People get mad at me. I'm just making a prediction. Maybe I'll be wrong, Probably not, though mrco hey Buck completely agree with you about the titles, with possibly one exception. Retired military officers attending the rank of current role like Navy captain are and above are untitled to keep their titles in retirement. Those are currently the rules. Are you for this or are you more purist as to the

title rules? Shields high MARKO. I'm fine with, you know, if if as you know, as an honorific for people that serve in the military, if they're going to keep titles based on whatever, you know, military tradition, is that I that I'm okay with making an obception exception too, although you know, when someone's either got to think, I mean, if someone's a civilian, are you still calling them general? Really? I don't know, I'm just putting that out, you know.

But in turner, the one that really gets me is ambassador speak or you know, any anything that you're you're like an appointee or you're you one elected office and you're you know, you're not. It's not President Obama. You can say former President Obama or former President Bush. It's not President Bush. He's not president anymore. I think we need to you agree with me on this one. I'm not going to ask. Actually I was gonna say, what about president? Yeah? No, say you can say former president.

That's that's a but that's not a title anybody wants to say, right, Ambassador in president is different? Well, of course presidents sure, a considerably bigger deal. You were always a US president, right, you could? You can write a check and become an ambassador. Basically, that's the way it works. You write a check to a president's campaign, and you get to be the ambassador to you know, Antigua or something, or the Bahamas or somewhere, you know, or Germany. I

think he can. It depends. I'll send the ambassador to the Bamas. That'd be nice. I'm cool with that. Yeah, that'd be nice. Yeah, I could. I could handle that for sure. David, Hey, Buck, I love the Bachelor talk. Gosh, I should have brought that up. You started introducing yourself to women as follows. Hi, my name's Buck. Actually that isn't my first name. My last name has to do with taking care of churches. I know it sounds complicated,

so my buddies calling me Captain Kurmudgeon. Anyway, enough about yourself, tell me about yourself. The ladies would love that. Um okay, thanks David. I thought I was gonna get a little bit tougher stuff there for watching The Bachelor, but I cannot. I cannot hide from the team my viewing habits. I can't hide. Jeff, Hey Buck, this is Trucker Jeff from California. I absolutely love your show. I think you should call producer Mark segment either the penalty box or the crease.

Since he likes hockey so much. I think we've got it. I like the penalty box for you. Do you know what the crease is? No, no idea? Oh my god? Where the goalie stands? Really the blue paint. It's called the crease. Which one of those? Do you like better? The penalty box with the crease? I know you're gonna go with penalty box. I can do either. Do you like the crease? Yeah, my vibe the penalty box. That's there. We go. Mark is in the penalty box. We might even have to set up a little I like that.

We'll put a line right here. Yeah, in my little of course, I cannot. I cannot cross because then I'm in the penalty. Well, there we go. Love the show, both of you guys. Keep on fighting the good fight, Jeff, great suggestion, man, We love it. Thank you so much. Appreciate you sending in to see. We love taking people's ideas here. Vincent writes, a population of Vermont is only six hundred and twenty three thousand. Sorry, I said a

couple million. I was off. They have two us centators but only one House of Representatives member because they have a minimum population. The city of Burlington, where Bernie Sanders was mayor, has a population of only fifty two thousand. Most of the local residents who haven't moved there from New York City are poor people in need of financial aid. All right, The comment about the poor people applies to the entire state, not necessarily a large city large for

Vermont of Burlington. Yeah, thank you, Vincent. Sorry, I got the population right. I knew it was a small population. I realize it was that small. Six hundred twenty three thousand. That's not even a Really, the whole population of the state is not even the size of a pretty big city in a good sized city, I mean, how many how many US cities have over a half million people. There's got to be at least what I mean, off the top of my head, fifteen or twenty. You actually,

like Tribeca alone in Manhattan has half a million. Yeah, like you think La Houston, New York, Miami, Shica, Go, Dallas, Phoenix probably has got upwards of seven figures now right. Seattle's got to have over figures. I said Houston. Houston's one of the top five. I think. Now Austin, I don't know if Auston. Austin might be like a couple of hundred man maybe two hundred fifty thousand, maybe five

hundred thousand, something like that. Um, but you know there's a lot of US cities that Baltimore has got over half a million people. San Francisco has got over San Diego. I mean you got at least in California here. Yeah, So you've got a lot of a lot of cities that have, Um, you know, a state I have have a greater population the state of Vermont. That's a good point. Brett buck Buck buck buck Buck. You want a five minute rant on Monday and not not calling people their

previous titles than Tuesday. You open the show and I quote Ambassador Bolton. We expect more from you. We will afford you more flexibility after the election. I'll keep up the great work. Brett. Yeah, man, I'm sorry. I just that's what everyone refers to as Ambassador Bolton. I agree with you. I don't like it. I don't like it. That's why I call him a Walrus Bolton today or Mustache Bolton. That's a title he gets to keep until

he shaves that stash. Then he loses the title because we are civilized people here and there are rules that we follow. So you shaved them stash, You're no longer Mustache Bolton. This is the way, Alice, hey Buck, I was thrilled to hear about your recipe for the best steak ever on your show the other day. That is exactly the way my husband makes it. He except he adds a knob of unsalted butter and a large sprig of rosemary to finish. It's steak. It's steakhouse perfect every time.

It's not even the same culinary category of steak on the grill. Right now, you need to learn to make palm anna to complete your dinner. I don't I assume that's some kind of a French fry. But how do you? How do you what is palm palm? I don't know what that is. It's some kind of potato. I know palm, like palm freaked is French fries may Bian, But I don't know what palm anna is. So we'd have to figure that out. When I repeat something like that a

few times is usually producer Mark google it. But he's not googling right now because he's busy trying to make the show on the air, like not not cut off, which is important too. Yeah. The reverse here, by the way, looks like it's sliced layered potatoes. Oh okay, I mean I love pot Potatoes are a weakness for me though any like well pros mashed, fried, scalloped, baked, every I just love me. I'm irish. I love potatoes, and unfortunately

it's not good for them. We gotta we gotta do a way in and like you know, notch April, we a producer. Mark and I are getting in fighting shape. It's happening or both going to be in the penalty box. So there we go. How's it coming along though, Sunday coming up right now? I have a terrible but chicken chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday. Don't count? Oh yeah count? No, no, no no, that's think we're doing pizza. You get a pass. Well there you go. Nice stuff. Well, yeah, thank you.
