Mueller's Unfunny Joke

Buck Sexton, welcome for the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Great to have you with me as always, thank you for the time, Thanks for for hanging out. You want to call an eight four four nine to eight to five eight four four Buck, I love the chat with you. We've got a bunch of topics today, including the latest on Trump. Trump's tariff talk, possibility of a trade war. He had a meeting today with the Swedish Prime Minister.

Some interesting things were said there. We'll get into that shortly. Also, some follow up to the conversation yesterday about Sam Nunberg, former Trump advisor. We have some additional information to work with today. Things took a bit of a turn, especially later on in the evening when more information came out about just what was going on. It is unusual, to say the least, to have a former former political advisor become for a period of three or four hours, the

biggest single news story in the country. But that is what happened last night. And we'll talk about why and what was really going on there, and I'll probably tie it into some of what we've found out about General Flynn in the last twenty four hours too. How how do I connect those things? Well, I will tell you.

You just have to stay with me. And then also some additional thoughts on guns and gun control that come courtesy of an article written by a woman who says that she believes that being a law biding gun owner is a thing that a parent would do to protect one's children in certain circumstances. So we will talk about and and in the in response she got to that, as you can imagine, is the anti gun crowd is psychotic. They're actually crazy, not all of them, but a lot

of them. They they are they are vicious, they are insane. The things that are written and I see them on Twitter, The things that are written on a daily basis to my former colleague now n r A spokesperson Dana Lash on Twitter and I'm sure of vir email and elsewhere are disgraceful. Uh, they are so heinous. I have to wonder what kind of person writes these things to anyone, never mind someone who's done nothing wrong and is actually uh a smart person who's nice and trying to engage

honestly in the discussion. Anyway, it's the anti gun crowd is just completely unhinged. But first I want to talk a bit about what's going on with h going on with Trump and the latest on the policy front. Here some interesting stuff today in in his meeting with the

Prime minister, because he's getting a lot of pushback. I mean, the GOP establishment is more united on trade tariff's bad then they are on you know, almost anything else I can think of other than tax cuts, right, I mean, the GOP is really opposed to the whole notion of trade tariffs. And Trump showed some some chops today on the issue. He got into it a little more during this conference with the Prime minister. I thought it was Prime Minister of Sweden, not that we have a prime minister, hello,

but the Prime Minister of Sweden. You know that's that's close to the Swedish chef, right, we could we should probably actually have the real Swedish chef as a drop here so people can hear it. Sounds like, but the Prime Minister in the president we're talking about, well, they're responding to questions from the press about things like trade. And wait a second, is this just breaking news right now? I'm on Eric, Did Gary Khne just resigned? Did that just happen right now on air? Am I crazy? That

just happened? Folks? I got breaking news for you. As we're hearing the Gary Cone formally of Goldman Sachs fame, the Trump economic advisor Gary Cone is out yet another departure from the White House and oh me, oh my, I ah, this is this is tying right into what I'm telling you, which is that the GOP establishment is completely dead set against Terris. I'm not saying I think derriffs are a good idea. I'm just trying to explore and learn more about this because Trump certainly seems convinced.

And we have had many issues where Trump has been fiercely opposed by the by not just the political and media class, in general, but by the GOP in particular. And the more I looked into and the more information that came out, I thought, well, he's actually right. Some of the discussions that we can have now about immigration are only possible because of Trump. They're only possible because

of his campaign and then his presidency. And I'm not saying that every word he utters on immigration is right in line with what I believe. I think sometimes he veers a little bit. I disagree with them on some things here and there. But the very notion that we could even discuss limiting legal immigration from what it currently is, or changing the legal immigration process from what it currently is, that's not even a talk we were having until Trump

came along. And so on tariffs, I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt and trying to see this from as many angles as possible. I understand the econ one on one approach this. I know that people will say that we can only finance we can only finance

our government spending if we have this trade deficit. Were it's better for us if we have the ability to give other countries US dollars a promise to pay them back at some point if they you know, so that they can give us their actual production and their labor. This is I get to the become one on one aspects of it. But I'm trying to take it a few steps beyond and Cone leaving, which just happened or is happening. They're saying he's set to signs. So this

is this has come out. Um, this is another indicator that there are some folks that just won't go along with the Trump agenda. I think I would be surprised if it turns out that Cone is uh. Cone is somebody who all of a sudden is resigning and has nothing to do with the terriff issue. We have this breaking news on him and and I wanted to share that with you. But here's what Trump said just just a couple of hours ago about steel, specifically in steel terriffs.

So it was very interesting, it was worth us spending a moment on. And it's been a very very unfair trade situation. I'm here to protect him. One of the reasons I was elected as I'm protecting our workers, I'm protecting our companies, and I'm not going to let that happen. So we're doing tariffs on steel. We cannot lose our steel industry. It's a fraction of what it once was, and we can't lose our aluminum and also a fraction of what it once was. Saying that there's a trends.

We didn't have the sound for this, but that there's a trans shipment issue as well, because one of the big criticisms that we've that he's gotten is well, we only get a very small percentage of our steel from China. And Trump was saying today and I honestly it was the first time I had heard it, and if it's not true, I want to hear I want to hear that, because if it is true, it definitely changes some dynamics

of the discussion. That what happens is China creates and the Swedish Prime ministers agree with them, trying to create something of the world steel or selling the world steel, and you know, huge huge quantities of this out on the market, and some countries will actually be a middleman for Chinese steel into the United States. That was the claim that Trump was making today, and I hadn't heard

that from anybody else. I've I've read a lot of analysis to the Wall Street Journal and elsewhere on steel and trade tariffs and all this stuff on tariffs. I think trade tariffs is probably repetitive, um, but I hadn't heard that. So Trump seems to have some understanding of this beyond what his critics are willing to concede. And I think it's worth hearing the man out of it a bit more. But CON's departure is only going to feed the narrative storyline that this is a White House

in in disarray and in chaos. I thought this was this was actually pretty funny. You know what was it? Yesterday? I was on Kennedy Show on Fox Business addressing this issue of this. This is a recurrent storyline. We'll hear it again and again. Oh my gosh, the White House. It's crazy. What's going on this White House? People are running around. It's just like a chaos factory. Uh. Here is Well, here's my version of that. The White House is not in disarray because the White House has always

been a non traditional bureaucracy. No chaos is oxygen. The Trump is the commander chief who likes to be on a ship in the storm. I think that's a good way of putting Trump today spoke specifically about this. The White House and chaos meme and the notion of staffing, turmoil and trouble. And here's what he said. The White House has tremendous energy, that has tremendous spirit. It is a great place to be working. Many many people want

every single job. You know, I read where oh g maybe people don't want to work for Trump, And believe me, everybody wants to work in the White House. They all want a piece of that Oval Office, they want a piece of the West Wing. And not only in terms of it looks greater there resume. It's just a great place to work. It's got tremendous energy. It's tough. I like conflict. I like having two people with different points of view, and I certainly have that and then I

make a decision. But I like watching it. I like seeing it, and I think it's the best way to go. I like different points of view. Trump is like, embrace the storm, my friends. Embrace that chaos that people are talking about. It's not really chaos. It's change. Change requires adaptation, change requires ingenuity. But this is a a fluid situation in the White House. It is unfolding day in and day out. And he's definitely right about it's not hard

to fill these jobs. They've got a lot more people that want them than can have them, and I just think the storyline there is nonsense. You know, Gary Cone, trust me, there are plenty of guys with a lot of Wall Street or finance or I'd like to see somebody with a more a business background that's not just in the financial services sector, that's a senior advisor to

Trump on economic issues. I think if we're gonna talk about manufacturing and res and rebuilding our manufacturing base, how in whatever way we can in this country, be nice to have somebody who is in the make stuff business instead of the take stuff business, that is an advisor to Trump. I think that would be helpful, But that's just my inclination on that. I also want to talk to you about something that came up today, um that

you're not going to hear anywhere else. Really, I'd be willing to bet no one else is going to tell you about this on radio today or tonight. You're not going to see news stories on it. But there was something that was slipped into the Swedish Prime Minister's speech and the very very brief overview is this. You know, Trump, I mentioned you how we can have discussions about immigration

that we could never have before. Sweden is a place that is also having discussions about immigration that it couldn't before, although there's a lot of pushback against it. The media doesn't seem all that interested in telling the stories about what's happening in Sweden right now. But you know that there are there is now a big spike in grenade

attacks in Sweden. Do you know that the spike in grenade attacks is tied directly to the surge in the immigrant population of Sweden and the Swedish authorities are freaked out and do not know what to do about this, and it is only getting worse. Is this uh a canary in the coal mine for Western countries that think that they should leave immigration wide open to third world developing countries. We will discuss that and more after the break.

We saw just last week the number of people filing for unemployment, rate for unemployment going to the lowest level in forty nine years. People are getting work, companies are hiring more workers. This is very very important. Also, US manufacturing is expa ending at the fastest rate in nearly fourteen years. These are all very encouraging numbers, and it's undeniable that real people are being helped by the personal

tax cuts in the Tax Cutting Jobs Act. The middle class tax parents are getting a tax cut that's into their advantage. The Republicans have been very effective and it's worked. When the tax cut bill was passed fable ratings. Now it's over fifty, so it's working, there's no question about it. You're not sure eighteen election is going to be as easy as some progressives. Thank you, folks of what the reality is and also what's going to happen going forward.

Reality is that the tax cut has helped Americans put more money in their paychecks, more money in the bank account, and it was a good idea and they feel it

now and they see it. And the fact that the numbers are going up as the tax cut kicks in shows us that and progressives who have put so much on this Russia collusion narrative, which at this point, you know, if you're not tired of that narrative, you're not paying attention, right I. I don't care who you are on the political spectrum if you're not just sick of hearing the

breathless updates from CNN. Oh my gosh, Mueller is going to be doing a xerox of a form any minute now, Sources say, I mean, it's just so boring, uh and and overblown the whole thing, and it's not going to win them the election. So there's gonna be an increasing desperation if things are as they are right now as the midterms get closer, because it's one thing to to act,

You gotta you gotta remember this. It's one thing to act like the victory of Trump over Hillary Clinton was some crazy fluke and you know, the Russians and Comy and there's all these excuses and all this stuff. But what if the Republicans actually gained seats in the mid terms, which I don't think is as improbable as some people are pretend thing it is right now, what have I actually do well in the midterms? What does that say?

What's the excuse gonna be there? You know, Trump's governance, uh in in is the first part of his first term has been effective, even though he was this terrible, fascist, warmongering Russian Manchurian candidate. It's all that stuff, you know, think about this. The storylines that they have will not be They will not be sailable to the public. You can't sell this stuff. You can't convince people that all this time on Russia was worthwhile. You just simply cannot.

And so I think you should remember that. One. Let's go to quick call here Andy in Savannah, which I've got on my mind because I'm gonna be in Savannah in a few days, assuming the weather cooperates. What's up, Andy, The weather will cooperate, and regardless, it's got to be better than New York, right, that's probably true, Yeah, this time of year. So yeah, looking forward to having you here. Buck.

So Hey, So I've been I'm a podcast listener almost exclusively, so I usually tend to listen a few days behind. So and but the the whole thing with the shooting down in Florida. Now, I recently moved up here to Savannah from from Florida, so it's kind of home for me. But you know, there's another solution than just you know, let's let's take care of all you know, let's get rid of all the guns. Although I find that one hilarious enough. Um, you know, how does somebody get on

the campus, get into the buildings? What was he doing there? How? How did he he shouldn't have been able to get in. And is my point, the school building kids or kids are coming and going for the building all the time, right, All you have to do is say, hey, hold that door for me. If you've got a dufel bag full of guns, you're gonna be able to get in school. Oh. I agree. What I'm saying is it's too easy. They need to They need to put some sort of barrier

around the school. Dare I say a wall or offense, you know, and then you can can troll you know, you can control the access better because now all you gotta do is look at people who are coming through the gates or the doors or whatever. Yeah, and did you realize how and let's just get it. Did you realize how expensive it would be to put controlled access gates and walls up around every school in the country. A fense, a chain link fence, A chain link fence.

I mean, EI think that's going to stop the I'm confused as to how we They probably have fences up in a lot of schools. I mean, I'm confused. Why do you think this is a security measure that would stop somebody from getting access who looks like a student under the school grounds. It would make it more difficult. And and the other thing is is is that you know, perhaps looking like you know, they should do more than just saying, well, he looks like a student. I like you, Andy,

but I'm not I'm not sold on this one. We'll have to talk about it when I'm in Saventa. I'll see you then and team I'll be right back. He's holding the line for America, Buck Sex, it is back. We have our share of domestic challenges, no doubt about that. We received one hundred and sixty three thousand refugees seeking refuge We changed the legislation so now we have decreased

the number of refugees entering Sweden. And we're also putting pressure on the other European Union countries to take their share of the responsibility. We also have problems with crime, organized crime in Sweden, shootings, but it's not like you have these no ghost zones. We we have. We have dealt with it. I'm dealing with it every day. That's the Swedish Prime minister who met with Trump earlier today and how to press conference. Very interesting things were said

in not answering in the in the press conference. Overall, he says, you know, we don't have no go zones all right, may or may not be the case. I've talked to people who have been in what they call no goes. It really just all that matters is how you define a no go zone. It's not that there are barricades and checkpoints preventing people from going into them, but it's if you go in, it's dangerous and you probably shouldn't go in. Hence no go zone dangerous for

certain people. But you don't have to take my word for it. Here's a report in the Times that I wanted to just give you a sense of what's going on in Sweden because you noticed the Prime minister there said, yeah, we change our legislation about refugees. But why refugees are the the the lifeblood of of a wonderful and diverse and vibrant society. Right, refugees are the future? Right isn't an immigrants and all over the world and all that,

it's always good. There's no downside. Some people might try to say, well, there's upside, but there's also downside. No no downside to refugees, immigrants from impoverished, war torn countries. The more are the merrier that had been the Swedish the Swedish mantra until recently, when things changed a bit. And here is how they have changed. This from the

Times just a few days ago. Quote in the Stockholm suburb of var by Guard, it was not unusual to see the figure of a sixty three year old man peddling a bicycle home after the end of his shift as an aid for disabled adults, hunched against the icy wind of a Swedish winter. Daniel Zaniga had just finished a night shift on a Sunday last month and was cycling home with his wife when he spotted a spherical object lying on the ground, stopped and reached down to

take it in his hand. It was an M seventy nine m hand grenade, manufactured in great numbers for the Yugoslav National Army and then seized by paramilitaries during the Civil War in the ninet nineties. The grenades are packed with plastic explosives and three thousand steel balls, well suited for attacks on enemy trenches and bunkers. Mr Zaniga touched

it and he set off the detonator. The shock wave was so powerful that Mr. Zaniga's wife, Juanna, riding ahead, of him was blown off her bicycle and sprawled on the ground, modeled with shrapnel wounds. She turned and tried to crawl toward her husband, she told a reporter later on, but the police, who had been patrolling nearby, kept her back.

Her husband was killed in this blast. You might be asking what the heck is a grenade doing on the ground in an otherwise quiet and relatively picture ask sleepy suburb of Stockholm, And the answer is that there has been arise in grenade attacks in Sweden in the last couple of years, and the spike has been noticeable according to the official statistics in Sweden, which keep in mind, they are playing games with the statistics constantly there. I'll get into some of the y in a moment, but

they're undercounting things. Maybe it's hard to undercount grenade explosions, but other aspects of crime and violent crime they are intentionally undercounting and ignoring as much as they possibly can because they don't want diversity to be a casualty of crime statistics in Sweden. You see, isn't it isn't an interesting We can have this discussion about what's going on

in foreign countries and see it objectively. But we try to talk about changing immigration policy in our own country and looking at illegal immigration and impact on crime, and it's automatically you're shouted down with cries of racism, right, xenophobia, islamophobia, whatever, whichever one is most effective as a means of silencing discussion, that's what they'll use. But here the official Swedish statistics in hand grenades were seized by the police in Sweden. Member, folks,

this is a country of ten million people. So this is a country that has basically the population of New York City where I am right now. So keep that up. So so instead of thinking of it as oh, a foreign country had this, think of this as you know, the largest US city. These were the crime statistics for it. Uh ten detonations. There were fifty five grenades seized in Sweden by police, thirty five grenade detonations, thirty nine grenades seized in one grenades detonated. I mean these are dozens

of times that people remember. A detonation means generally speaking that this has been deployed, and it's in gang warfare between who wants to guess immigrant gangs. In fact, the arms market from eastern Europe has become such a such an has such an open door into Sweden, actually a lot of it via Denmark. That the reporting is that you buy the a K forty seven's and they throw in the grenades for free. And that's one of the reasons why in gang warfare they're using these grenades, because

they've just got them. Who wants to guess what a grenade on the black market in Sweden. By the way, I'll say this, it's not easy to buy a grenade in the United States in the black market. I work for the NYPD, I can tell you that. And when was the last time you heard about a grenade attack here, folks? It's been a while, right, remember Sweden, tamillion people, not that bigger place, dozens of grenade attacks and getting worse. And this isn't even taking new account the drive by

shootings which involve a K forty sevens um. So you know, you've got these these bombs that are going off now, these you know, small handheld bombs that are being deployed, and uh, they're the Swedish governments looking around like WHOA, what's going on here? And it's part of this armor arms race among immigrant gangs that are able to buy handgrids the open market. Hand garnades cost about twelve bucks in Sweden right now, you can buy hangry for twelve dollars.

That's what they say in this article. So, so what is this telling us here, folks? Oh, and I would note that this is also the same country where police officers who say the statistics are being suppressed, that the government is lying in order to protect the perception of its policies when it comes to immigrants. Hello, oh, anybody anybody getting a tingle? This isn't the only place where

this kind of thing happens. Police in in Sweden who question the official statistics and raise the obvious point that this is a direct result of predominantly Muslim immigration for more torn countries and refugees from Muslim countries are not just hounded by the press and you know, by the rest of polite Swedish society. The state investigates them for

inciting hate speech. So if you are in Swedish law enforcer right now and you're saying, hey, all these granade attacks are the result of immigrant gangs that are going after each other that also go after the police, I would know that are creating these no go zones, you not only won't get the additional resources and attention you're looking for to keep your community safe, you will be investigated and possibly brought up on charges for hate speech.

How's that for law enforcement support and policy? Right? It is crazy, But you'll notice the Swedish priminnister said, yeah, we're gonna change things a little bit. We're going to switch things up. Oh, you mean that the diversity at all costs, at any costs immigration is the the building block of future generations for Western European countries and Western

civilization in general. You mean that there's maybe some reason to believe that there's a trade off at least that's made there, that it is not, in fact the case that Syria and Afghanistan are in all cases sending us their best so to speak. You see, I'm aware of when they do send us their best. Right. We told the story just last week about our friends from Black Rifle who made sure that they took care of one of their own and Afghan commando, a door kicker who

had been fighting along U S two. That is sending us their best right. And by the way, our government time was not taking good care of that guy and the veterans from Black Rifles stepped up and helped them out. But as a function of policy, you're talking to refugees in a place like Sweden. They've taken hundreds and hundreds of thousands in a country of ten million people, A few hundred thousand refugees starts to have an impact on

the culture, on the politics. Things change. And you see this with you know, these bomb attacks, these grenade attacks in Sweden. How many of you even, just be honest with me, how many of you have even heard about this, that there's a surgeon grenade attacks in a little quiet, otherwise you know, safe and peaceful country of Sweden. Ah, you mean that there's not a lot of interest in

telling that story. I mean, yes, the New York Times will cover I mean Times covers dozens hundreds of things on any given day, as do all these other major newspapers and newsrooms. I haven't seen it leading any evening news broadcasts. Have you? Swedish Prime minister just happened to be meeting with Trump today, you think maybe somebody would point this out. Yeah, we've got a little of a crime problem in Sweden. Really, You've got people throwing grenades

at each other in Stockholm, folks. I think this is noteworthy, and I think it also goes to show that one of the effects that we have of the Trump area is that we are even able to discuss these things.

And maybe he's even emboldening some other political politically not even political groups, just politically minded citizens in places in Europe and elsewhere, to say, hold on a second, we need to have to talk about this whole refugee diversity frenzy and look at what it's really doing to the cohesiveness of our society and to rule of law and to our communities. Time for that discussion in Sweden, discussion that we need to keep having in this country too.

Isn't it more specifically on illegal immigration, not on refugees per se, but similar ideas, similar things at work. Um okay, So the Swedish Prime Minister I thought that was that really jumped out of me. Today. I want to follow up to the uh nunberg a peloozer from yesterday, so we'll get into that, and then also very interesting piece on how a parent feels about owning a gun in the New York Times. We'll get into that and more.

Stay with me so yesterday there was that scretch where we had on on both It's it's unusual to see the cable networks, you know, carrying a story at the same time that's really a commentary story. It wasn't a breaking news story. They were all running the Sam Nunberg thing simultaneously at one point. I mean it was like MSNBC, Fox, CNN, and they're all covering number. And as I told you guys yesterday, I know Sam a little bit. Some some

friends of mine the business know him very well. I know him a little bit um, although I had reached out to him recently, just sort of check in and kind of wanted to ask him some stuff. And and then I didn't realize that he was gonna have quite the on air bonanza. I don't know what you'd call it,

whatever there was that was going on yesterday. We played a lot of the audio for you, but I thought he was just going rogue and we were playing and we played some of the soundbites on the show, because initially the story was the refuel was the refusing to go with the Mueller probe. And then today I or last night and then into today, I saw more of it and see him like, actually, Sam was having a a tough time. I don't know if we'd call it an episode or but he was. He was having a rough,

a rough go of it. And when I hear that, Aaron Net asked him on air if he was drunk because she could smell liquor on his breath. Well, now we've crossed over from this guy is an interesting fellow with with a news with it is newsworthy when somebody who is subpoenaed by the special counsel says, Nope, not gonna do it. You know, I was ties to Trump. That is newsworthy. So there was I have no uh,

no problems or qualms with the coverage of that. But then it turned into a kind of human disaster tourism. You know. There was a little bit of a you know, joy riding in somebody else's pain and embarrassment that was going on with some of the media last night. And I found that really, there's there's a line, there's a boundary. I'm not gonna pretend. Look I covered it here. I called Sam. I wanted to join in. I didn't realize that.

I mean, I didn't smell any alcohol. His breath becase I didn't see him, right, I didn't know um, But then when I saw some of the additional interviews that he was giving, something was off. And now as of today with there's no surprise here at all. But as of today he has said he will in fact cooperate with the Special Council. Um, there's that. But it made me think. People were asking today, they said, well, you know, you, what do you think about Sam's whatever we're gonna call

his episode? I mean, I know, I said, we're not sure if that's what it was. But Sam's run on the media last night, I thought he was going rogue. I think actually he was having a bit of a of a tough go and and I don't like I don't like it when you know, when someone's in a frame of mind where they're having a rough a rough time, and you know, you don't want to you don't want to be exploiting their embarrassment in a way that's that's heartless.

And I think that there were some outlets that you know, it was a spectrum. It started out okay, news story, interviews, what's going on? He said some really interesting stuff, But towards the end when he got into later interviews and then they kept them on almost a full houred Aaron Burne that that's when I think it's sort of the moment that Erin Burnett says, I think you're drunk. I can smell alcohol on your breath, and now it's time

to have the producers say Okay, no more interviews. And I think they knew well before then too, and they put them on air anyway, and that's that's distasteful. But somebody asked me, um, what I think of what I think of what happened? And you know, I wanted to walk you through my analysis of this and bring another figure in Trump's orbit into this discussion, and that is

General Michael Flynn. Because I am not just running out of attention span for this Special Council probe, I'm also running out of patience for it as an American, as a person who believes in what is fair, what is right, due process, and the rule of law. I think this is an abuse. I think it is an exploitation of d o J authorities. I think it is wildly politicized. And one part of this that does not get nearly enough attention is the damage that is being done to

real people every day. So that is a subject that in the next hour I want to return to with you, and then we'll talk about are really compelling editorial written by a mom about how she has guns to protect her kids. Sponsor this half hour is Global Verification Network.

He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome to our two of the bucks X and show everybody great to have you with me. Thank you so

much for joining. We've got some breaking news here. Trump's chief economist, Gary Cone, chief economic advisor, is out, the latest to depart this White House. I'm not worried about I'm not worried about it. I'm mad at you, Gary Cone. I understanding got other things to do. One thing I'd like to know, and this is in the may not make me the most popular guy in the world file, but it is in the keeping it real file. You

know that he used to be. I think it still is the law that if you had to divest yourself of shares, let's say, of a company like Goldman Sachs, and you went to work for the government, that you were exempt from paying federal income tax because you are forced to sell those shares. Well, let's say you have like fifty or a hundred million dollars of Goldman Sachs stock, and you go work for the White House as the

Treasury Secretary, for example, or chief Economic advisor. It is my understanding that you if not get a total exemption, certainly get a very preferential tax treatment of that income ones because you are forced to sell it to divis you divest yourself with those interests. That is quite a windfall. And I would like to know how many of those who take senior administer ration posts and stay for a year and leave fall under Oh you're not gonna hear other folks asking about this, and I want to know.

I would like to know if that is in fact still the case, if that is still happening. But Cone is out and there saying it's because of tariffs, which I've been talking about in the last hour, and and I'm trying to take a, if not contrary, and at least an open minded point of view on this. Right. We know Trump loves growth, loves jobs, and knows that the heart of the success of his presidency is the economy. And how's it doing. Immigration is tied to the economy,

but the economy has to be a centerpiece of it. Um. So that's the breaking news I have for you here on Cone. You've got CNN writing that stock futures plummet as news of Gary Cohne resigns. I mean, who knows if that's stock futures plummet. They'll be fine again tomorrow. Meanwhile, you got Joe Mansion, West Virginia, uh saying run and making the rounds on Fox News saying that he agrees

with the Trump tariff plan. Now, is that just because Mansion is in a state that would specifically benefit from a revitalized steel and aluminum industry. We'll have to see, we'll look into it. But just to return for a moment, if I can to this story from yesterday about Sam Nunberg and how it went from breaking news story two pretty clear exploitation. I mean, this was the real turning point on CNN last night. So Sam, I have to ask you one other thing, and it's an awkward question

to ask, but you know I've I've been before. You're sitting very close to me. We talked earlier about what people in the White House were saying about you, talking about whether you you were you were drinking or on drugs or whatever they had happened. Today, Um, talking to you, I have smelled alcohol in your breath. Well, I have not had to drink, haven't had a drink, So that's not so I I just because it is the talk

out there again. I know it's awkward. Let me just get give you the question to theory, not anything else, no, no, no, besides my beds. Let me just say that that's a conversation that as a as a journalist, as a multimillionaire journalist, I would note Aaron Burnett is well into a seven figures territory over at CNN and transverse salary, very very

well compensated. Why Aaron Burnett makes like three or four million dollars a year or whatever it is, it's close to that, And why so many other journalists out there who I think have a better skill set and just more bring more talent to the table, or you know, maybe making seven figures if I mean six figures, not seven figures, six figures, that they're lucky. That's a conversation that I don't even know how to have it. I don't know these things make It's not fair, folks, life

is fair. But that's I suppose separate from this discussion. Aaron should know better. She should have asked Sam that stuff off camera and made the executive call on her show that she was not going to put somebody that she believed, whether he admits it or whether he agrees or not, I'm not gonna put somebody on air that is inebriated or is in the middle of some kind of a mental health episode, one way or another. And

so they crossed over. But I want to note that this is this is not actually surprising because for the for the anti Trump left, there are really no rules in this game. There's no decency, there's no integrity, there's no sense of fair play that will govern how they do their jobs in the media. And I'm also reminded today of the cost of the approach here. Remember, it's because the media demanded a special counsel that we have

a special counsel. It's because he's a grandstanding fraud who used the media as his mouthpiece to demand a special counsel, that we have a special counsel. And not today a story about General Flynn, someone who spent decades serving his country in the United States Armed Forces, was the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the story today is that he has had to sell his home. He's had to sell us home to pay for legal bills. He's

already pleaded guilty. Folks, sell us home to illegal bills. How do you think that feels after thirty years of service to your country, and for what, for lying to the FBI about Russia collusion that never happened. Not even clear that he lied to the FBI. The FBI apparently wasn't sure that he lied to the FBI, but later on they became sure enough that they would put forward a felony charge, mark him as a convicted criminal, and ruin his life and for what. There are real costs here, folks.

There are casualties in this Special Council witch hunt, just as there were casualties in the witch hunts of old. That's why it's such a good term to use. This is not without pain, This is not without loss. The left and the media apparatus that supports it, seeing n MSNBC and the rest, they present this whole Special Council situation as though it's you know, we just want to get to the truth. We just want to know what happened, you know, just the facts. Now, this is a a

wild rogue elephant trampling villagers left and right. That's what this is. It's going way beyond its mandate. It is crushing people just for the purpose of justifying its own existence. And Flynn is just one of the latest casualties in this whole thing is life. I mean, you know, he's probably not going to go to prison because he pleaded guilty. He could though, he could serve some time, but his reputation is ruined. He's a convicted felon. Now I used

to sell his home. And for a lot of you listening, I know you probably maybe you know you're still paying off mortgage on your home. Um you're maybe you've been lucky enough, fortunate enough, worked hard enough that you've paid it all off already. But imagine you had to lose, you had to lose the place that you call home because of what is effectively a technicality of investigation that's just all about politics. How do you explained that one to your wife and kids? How does that one feel?

Not nearly enough attention I think on this part of the this part of the issue and and why I'm thinking about it as well right now, is not just the Flynn story broke, but also you know, Sam Nunberg may have been rattled by the subpoena from a special counsel that could cost him tens of thousands of dollars. Look, if I got a subpoena from a Special councils. I don't have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on lawyers to keep me out of prison. I don't know what I do. I'd have to go beg for money

from my family or friends or something. You know, I wouldn't be able to do it. So I feel for Sam. You know, people are saying, oh, well, and what could have caused him to have some kind of stress related

incident like this? I'm pretty sure the hyperpartisan and preposterously politicize special Counsel investigation saying that we want all records of her communications, we want you to testify, and oh, by the way, our favorite game to play is whoops, you lie about something minor, now you go to prison. That may have added to his stress just a little bit.

Don't you think the same folks who sleep sound as babies at night knowing that they have ruined a patriot like General Flynn's reputation, and I'm if they haven't already, they're going to bankrupt the guy. They got no problem with that at all. Russia collusion not I didn't do any of that, but you know, we think maybe he lied to us We're not sure, but let's go with he lied to us. Muller's folks, look power mad. Prosecutors are the most dangerous political force in the country. Don't

forget it, ruined lives and there's almost no accountability. There really is no accountability. Prosecutors have to flagrantly violate the law for there to be any real consequences for their actions. And if it falls within the discretion just being a dirt bag, Oh, they can get away with that any day of the week. Look back at Mueller's over zealous prosecutions of the past, and none of this is surprising. Well, this is surprising at all. So what happened with Sam

I don't know what's happened with General Flynn. People that are just collateral damage of the whiny, self obsessed snowflake ism of the Oh Hillary should have won the election. Russia made Trump win the election. It's pathetic, and people are actually losing things as a result of it, real things. They're losing their respect, They're losing the dignity the respect

of their peers. They're losing the dignity of being able to stay in their own homes, They're losing their life savings, their ability to work and what is what are we seeing to justify this? Oh yeah, that's right, an indictment against seventeen Russian clowns that are never gonna be extradited. That set up some social media accounts, whoa Mueller's America's g man really keeping us safe? It's a joke, except it's not funny at all. Going to quick break, We'll

be right back. I thought I should share with you team this editorial written by Bethany Mandel in the New York Times, title is I wanted to be a good mom, so I got a gun. Let me just give you some of what Bethany writes here. A few months after my father left our family at home for good, my mother heard me screaming in the middle of the night. It was the kind of scream that made her grab her rifle in one hand and some ammo in the other. It was a spring night, and I was sleeping with

my window open, which was right above my bed. I loved breathing in the fresh air. That night, in that open window, I heard the banging of a ladder, and by the time my mother made it into the room and began loading her gun, a man was about to climb in. She said something along the lines of Bethany, come over here. I don't want you to get his brain matter on your face. I'm backed up behind her and my mother raised her gun. The would be intruders

slowly back down the ladder. As he climbed down, my mother approached the barrel of her rifle was inches away from his face, and she told him, next time you come here, I won't hesitate. She had her gun pointed at him through the window on his way down, and as he went down the ladder, she grabbed the top and shook it just to put the fear of God into him one last time before he fled. Um. My mother admired Ralph Nader and voted for the Green Party, but there was an issue in which she was not

the most progressive person in the room. She owned guns. Um. This is a very interesting perspective, very worthwhile perspector from Bethany, who's I'm familiar with her work. She's a conservative writer and no pundit. But she's saying, look, I I had experience as a as a young young girl with my mother defending our home with with a firearm. This is not some theoretical that doesn't occur countless times across the country. She experienced it herself. And there's notion, And this is

what she's combating. This notion that anybody who cares about kids must be opposed to guns is obviously directly at odds with what I'm sure many of you feel listening to the show, which is, no, I care about my kids, so I have guns to protect them. I care about my family, so I'm armed, whether just at home or some of you conceal or open carry, I'm sure as well. And that's why you believe in the Second Amendment and exercise you're right to bear arms, not because you don't

care about kids. It's because you do care so much about your kids and any other kids that you could defend if you had to, under the circumstances of you being armed and there being a mortal threat in your vicinity. Here's how she finishes her piece, um a compromise will require gun control activists to confront the lie of one of their favorite talking points that gun rights supporters care

more about guns than children. For many, support for gun rights is motivated precisely by our devotion to protecting our kids well said by Bethany here, and a very important aspect of this she's you see, this upsets the left, and I'm gonna get into some of the backlash that she has had as a result of writing this piece in just a moment. But one of their favorite versions of moral blackmail on the issue of gun control is to say, you either agree with us, or you don't

care about kids. You either want to ban certain kinds of firearms or all firearms in private hands in this country, or your in favor of children suffering horrific violence in schools and elsewhere. That's the that's the dishonest but unfortunately somewhat effective moral blackmail that they employed. As you can imagine the moment that someone with this experience and with the writing skills that Bethany brings to bear, confronts that favorite trope of the left for the purposes of gun control.

There's a tremendous amount of backlash. And this is what you know when I am in the bowels of social media and seeing the punditry mix it up on a constant basis, this is the kind of stuff that you'll come across. I don't know how many of you know Shannon Watts. She is a gun control activist. Um, I forget forget the name of her Mom's demand Guns Control

or something like that. She has some organization, and I know that she often has gone after once again, my former colleague and friend Dana Lash in ways that are just just despicable. I mean, she's just nasty. But this you've got to really read it to believe it, or hear it to believe it. So I'll tell you what happened,

so Shannon Watts on Twitter response. So, Bethany is dealing with a lot of a lot of heat here because of this piece, she wrote, And in a response to another tweet, Bethany wrote the following, I took my mom off life support at sixteen, had my father hang himself when I was nineteen, and grew up in a single wide trailer in Northrops Trailer Park and upstate New York. Besides that, I've been truly blessed. She was obviously engaging in a bit of self deprecating humor here. Um, but

she's telling that she had obviously had a tough go. Um, she's had a tough go, and you know that's what she's Uh, she starts out with Come on now, Neon, I didn't see the beginning of this exchange. This is to another Twitter account that I know, Neon Taster, who I'm not. I don't know who that is, but it's

pretty well followed account anyway. But in response to that very difficult series of events that Bethany lets out from her life, Shannon Watts, the gun control activist, writes this because now Bethany is the enemy, you see, because she wrote this piece about how people who own guns want to protect their children. So Shannon Wats, gun control activists, writes to Bethany in response, they're talking about how she

lost her mom and her dad. Quote again, Bethany, your white skin makes you less likely to be at risk as a gun owner, regardless of your hard scrabble background. I guess you don't believe in racism. How someone could be so completely detached from the sympathy that one should give to somebody that has laid out this story, How one could be so just tactless and heartless, is really an indictment of the insanity of the left on gun control. Here. It is hard to believe that any human being would

write something like that to somebody else. But when it comes to gun control, the left, Shannon wats all the rest of them. They they just take no prisoner. They're looking to annihilate the opposition. We'll be right back. North Korea threatens the entire global community through its unlawful nuclear and ballistic missile programs and proliferation activities, including its arms exports to Africa. It doesn't just involve our allies in

Europe or Asia. It doesn't just include countries with longstanding ties to the DPRK like China and Russia. This is and must be a global effort. They're in Secretary of State Rex Tillerson talking about the latest with North Korea. Some very interesting developments there. You have Kim Jong un saying that his regime North Korea is willing to negotiate over their nuclear program. Now let's step back for a moment before we get too excited or too far down

this pathway. This is clearly the place on the globe with the greatest likelihood of a major conventional military conflict in the near term, with the United States leaving out other countries. But if we are gonna have a big problem with a country in the next six to twelve months, on the military side of things, I think North Korea is the most likely place where we could say nation

we could see nation state to nation state conflict. That also involves two nuclear powers, right, And one of the understandings we have whenever we have approached North Korea as an issue in the past is that the North Korean regime will not, under any circumstances negotiate over nukes, be

because nukes are essential for regime survival. That if they were to consider giving up their nuclear weapons, then there would be the very real possibility that the regime could implode, that you would have a coup and all that stuff. And if you're the capital of a maniacal crime family that is running what is a glorified prison camp with nuclear missiles pointing out of it, you probably don't want to be in a situation where you lose your grip

on power. So nukes are the apex of force. Therefore, North Korea can't if it if the Kim diynasty is gonna stay in charge, stay in power, can't negotiate over nukes. So we have been told, all right, perhaps things are changing. In fact, Trump was asked about this today in his meeting with the Swedish Prime Minister. And here's what our commander in chief had to say. Do you believe that North Korea's recent willingness to talk is sincere or is it an effort to buy time for their nuclear program?

And to what do you owe this recent openness to talk? Me? No, I think that nobody got that. Trump makes a joke about how it's him. But I would note that there is the possibility here that Trump is in fact the X factor we were We've been told that his tweets.

I mean, it has been raised for a while now by the media that unless someone in the White House physically seizes Trump's smartphone out of his hands, I don't I don't know if it's an iPhone or whatever it is, but unless unless they sees it from him, Trump could stumble into a nuclear conflagration with the wrong tweet. Right. He called Kim Jong un little rocket Man, which is a very catchy nickname that I think is going to

stick around for quite some time. He has been bellicos in his rhetoric, and for a while at least they were saying that there was a very real possibility of Trump pushing us into an open conflict and you know, Honolulu was on the hit list or Hawaii was on the hit list of places Kim would go after because of Trump's recklessness. And we remember then, that's why the missile scare, the incoming missile scare, which turned out just

to be a very incompetent government employee. Uh that that's why it had some some bite at the time, because it seemed like, given all the talk over Hawaii and what was going on there, there was the possibility of, you know, the realistic thought processes behind a missile strike on Korea were there. But now I'm gonna get into what I think has actually happened. Nick, Does this ties into maybe Trump is the X factor, the great negotiator, and he's going to figure all this out, and he's

got this thing. Where did you go? There's another possibility, a very different one, and that is that North Korea is trying to play us here, and that would be in keeping with historical norms for the Kim dynasty. Remember there was this whole charm offensive at the Olympics. In fact, Kim's sister, Kim Jongan's sister, who attended the Olympics, was received warmly, was really celebrated by much of the media, notably CNN and others, and was compared favorably, was compared

favorably to Trump and Pence. Right, So, the dictator's sister, who's the head of the propaganda committee for North Korea, by the way, it's knowledge, she's just some bystander here who because of her ties, of her ties of a familial lineage, was brought into this. But the media was willing to say that she did. You know, she presented herself well and she's fascinating and stole the show and all this stuff, right, because there is nothing there's no

level that the electing media will not go to. There's no level of debasement that is too much if they think that they can at the same time harm the Trump administration in some way or another. But I think this is very unlikely to go anywhere. I think North Korea wants to get some sanctions relief. I think that they're trying to negotiate their way out of a tight spot. Trump has increased the pressure on them. They are tracking down any ships that engage in shenanigans to try and

get around the sanctions. And North Korea is just generally speaking, um just just doing whatever they can being deceptive here in the hopes of achieving what they've achieved in the past, which is to get at concessions from the international community without really changing their behavior in one way or another. So that's what I that's what I see happening here.

I would love to think that this could be the greatest diplomatic and national security victory of the post Cold War air because that's what de nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula would be. But it is much more likely. Uh, And all indicators still point the direction of this being a head fake. All right, we'll be right back. We're gonna talk about Farrakon after the break. Stay with me. So we have to ask the question here that many

in the media are gonna want to avoid. But why is it that Louis Farrakon, the vile anti Semite and leader of the Nation of Islam. Why is it that Louis Farrakhan is not just accepted in polite society, but is in fact still tree did with reverence by the Democrat Party. Democrat politicians all the way up and down the chain of command and power will kiss the ring, so to speak. They will visit with Farrik Cohn they'll

talk to Farik Cohn, none other than Barack Obama himself. Folks, during his initial campaign one for the presidentcy you remember that photo that a journalist had but figured, you know, I'm not sure that a photo of Barack Obama meeting with, smiling with, and shaking hands with Louis Farrakhn's a good look for Hope and Change two eight. So they just buried it. They decided that it would be better to

to hide that one. For the public. They see, that's the media just straight up stacking the deck for the left, for the Democrats. That's that's what they do. We keep catching them doing it, and they keep saying, what do you mean, where don't stock the deck? What about this time? Okay? Maybe once and then we say, well what about this time? Okay maybe, but this time you're mean, I mean, they've got nothing. They can't actually engage on this point. They

can't engage in this debate because it's so obvious. Yet. Farikon just recently, just recently gave a speech where he said the kind of things, the kind of disgusting, hateful things that for any other figure in public life would be a career ender. You would be done. No ifs ends or butts. Here is what Farrakon had to say. He talked about the grip in Hollywood and how the Jews were responsible for all of this filth and degenerate behavior that Hollywood is putting out, turning men into women

and women into men. Oh there's it's it's worse. It's even worse. I will credit Jake Tapper with at least being willing to point this out. He went to Twitter to say the following. On Sunday, the Reverend Reverend Farikon gave his Savior's dayeen address attended by thousands, including one of the co founders of the Women's March. Shortly after. In this video, Farrakon proclaims that the quote powerful Jews

are my enemy end quote. At another mark, Farrakon begins approvingly quoting some of the anti submitted comments made by President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office and by Billy Graham in the Oval Office. According to Jake Tapper here at two fifty nine. The video, Farrakon approvingly cites Nixon and Graham attacking quote Jews, grip on the media in Hollywood and how the Jews were responsible for all this filth.

That was the clip we just played for you. Later on the Speed, Farrakhan calls Jews the mother and father of apartheid, the Jews um. He also goes on to say, let me tell you something. When you want something in this world, this is Farrakon here. When you want something in this world, quote the Jew holds the door. And quote for a normal person, any person, I don't even mean just public figures, this would be the end you. You would be rightly condemned. You'd be called an anti Semite,

and that would be that would be it right. This is a public address. This isn't like someone put a microphone in his apartment and he thought he was not that would excuse the sentiments. But he's not even hiding that this is how he feels. Right, He's not even pretending that this is the way that he feels. And yet he will be included in the you know, he's included in the women's march. He is still revered um.

And this is who Farrakhan is. What we just saw here and you see here's and here's what Tappa wrote. And again I credit him for on this issue. When people are right, I say they're right. I don't. I don't. I don't do this purely tribalistic my side, their side thing.

Sometimes liberal journalists do very good things. I think, for example, Glenn Glenn Greenwald is just insanely wrong and disingenuous on some issues, but on others, I'm like, yeah, he's right, he gets it, he's correct, and it kind of hurts me when I have to say it, but I will say it. You know, I think that Greenwald actually approaches his craft with some journalistic of ethics, or at least

some sense of speaking truth to power, you know. I mean we could that's a whole other discussion, but he I'm just trying to think of people that are I disagree with on a lot of stuff, but occasionally they're really right, and when they're right, I say it. And you know, Greenwald, for example, in the Russia thing, he's like, this is a joke, right, this is a clown show. We're talking about Facebook ghost accounts and sock puppets and Twitter trolls. This is and this is a national security threat.

I mean, what are they smoking? Over and over in the Democrat corridors of Congress. But Tappa wrote about the farra Con speech brings us back into what farra Con said here the difference between Farrakhan quote and some members of the alt right, whose heinous bigotry has received a lot of attention this past year. Farrakon has a much larger following and elected officials meet with him openly. The Women's March co chair Tamika Mallory was in attendance at

that speech. I mean, the leftist activist groups, powerful leftist activist groups, will still kiss Farrakon's ring. They will still give him not just a platform, not just respect, but they will elevate him some kind of power broker. It is a disgrace. I remember some years before I started at Amherst College, farrakn was the keynote speaker at the commencement address for the University of Massachusetts. I think, or

maybe it was just a big speech. I could be wrong about him being at the commencement address, strike that from the record. He was a speaker though at UMSS that much I do know. I forget what the speech

was specifically, was a long time ago. Gosh, I'm getting old, but he was a speaker at u mass invited guest and I remember being there when Justice Scalia was an invited guest at Emmer's College, just down the street from the University of Massachusetts, where I was a student, and the entire political science department boycott attending the speech, advised other students not to go to the speech. Students wore black arm bands to the speech. People stood outside in

a duck costume. Wack because of Scalia's hunting trip with somebody who had some connection to some company that tied into some Supreme Court business. I mean, it was a flimsy, flimsy storyline, but they still were making the big deal about recusal and quack quack and duck hunting and all of this. And Scalia had a daughter who was a student at the time and was well known. It was actually I always really liked her, and she was a couple of years ahead of me. And they still were

disrespectful while Scalia was this is a small college. It's getting a sitting Supreme Court justice to come by. He gets protests, Farakon gets standing ovations. There's a real problem in our country and our culture. Folks. Um, Why the media isn't forced to answer this question more openly? Why it wasn't a bigger problem. You know, people say, oh,

look at Trump and his record. Okay, So now that we have a little more information here, not only did Barack Obama launch his political career in the living room

of a domestic terrorist, Bill ayres in Chicago. And not only did Barack Obama sit, by his own and by his own admission, in a church for twenty years that had a pastor who would say Goddamn America and the nine eleven with the chickens coming home to roost and you're familiar with all that, he also would gladly take a private meeting with shake the hand off, and pose for photos with Louis Farrakhon, who is who is an actual anti semi. You know, people throw around these terms racism,

anti Semite, and oftentimes they're abused. The terms themselves become politicized, they become weaponized to silence people you don't like or but Farrakon is actually an end He's actually an anti semi. And they hit a photo of Barack Obama with them because that would have looked bad, right, But the truth was that he took the meeting, and he took the meeting because Farrakon still has residence in some quarters, far a Con still has some some political power, some some

sway uh, And it's a disgrace. It's a disgrace that he has any following in the Black community or any community for that matter. And yet they won't really call him out. They won't give farra Con the same treatment that other public figures who have said heinous and destructive things publicly or privately, and not not not give him the same situation, right, won't won't actually hold him too

account And we should all ask why. And as the media tries to lecture us constantly on Trump and all of his associates, let's all just remember that they refuse, they refuse to say that enough is enough of Ara Con. We'll be right back. Welcome to our three of the Buck Sexton Show. My friends, Oh campus crazies, you are the gift that keeps on giving to conservative commentary. You are bizarre, you are dangerous in your ideology, but you

are also entertaining at the same time. Let's get into some of the latest free speech wars on campus here. I don't know if you're familiar with there. She it does some very good work. A conservative named Christina hoff Summers she's a conservative academic, and she was supposed to give a speech out at Lewis and Clark Law School, which is in Oregon. And this is how so she was invited by the school and people showed up during her speech. Instead of just letting her speak, they tried

to play music to drown her out. So they actively shut down speech. They don't believe in counter argument or counter speech. They think it's just you want to speak, but I'm gonna y'all over ya. That's how they think they get their points across. They don't understand how childish this seems too well adjusted adults. But they started chanting some stuff like it is gone. Which side are friends are?

I mean, it's it's pretty lame. It's pretty pathetic. And you can also tell they're a grand total of about ten of these protesters there, and these are you know, I wish we had a better term for them. People call them, people call them, you know, a bunch of filthy hippies. But they're not hippies. Hippies a kind of

specific thing. They're not hippies. They're certainly not hipsters. I don't know what we can call them other than leftist agitators, but that sounds like um reading from a poly Si manual, so it's not really a great term. Um. You can call them useful any it's any number of things. But their chance were about Christina haf Summers being a fascist. And for those of you who are wondering, how could a an academic like miss Summers be called the ashes?

What is her big problem? She explains that there's no such thing as campus rape culture, that it's a myth, which it is, which all the numbers show, which anybody who spent any time on a college campus will tell you is is also just obvious. There's no rape culture.

If anything, there are now generations of young men who are terrified at retroactive removal of consent, which is something that the really avant garde, the real zeitgeisty feminists, the hardcore feminists, believe that, you know, maybe consent isn't even a temporal issue. It's just consent could be withdrawn even after the fact, which is crazy, I know, but they're crazy. They say whacko stuff, and they're saying crazy stuff here. Oh. She also says there's no wage gap, gender wage gap,

which is true. By the way, this is an aside. If you remember, we had Professor Peterson on here a while ago his book What Twelve Rules for Living in an Antidote to Chaos done very very well. We had him on here during his book tour, and he debated this British woman who's one of these babyc presenters who talks like this, and other than the fact that she talks like this, it's not clear at all that she's read a book or can add or do basic subtraction

or multiplication tables. It strikes me that despite her accent, she's a complete and utter moron, but she sounds like this. So she gets to be on television and she was very upset about the wage gap, and she went after Peterson, are you telling me there's no wage gap? And he's like, yes, so you're saying women aren't as smart as men, and he's like, no, that's that's not what I'm saying. Actually, that never did I say that? Right? She ended up turning just as a follow on that story about the

wage gap. She turned herself into the victim because she was so annihilated online by anybody with more than two brain cells who are like, you keep asking this guy questions implying he said things he didn't say. You imbecile, what that you actually learn how to do an interview? And now she's I'm being attacked because of my gender, being attacked because you're an overpaid buffoon. But that describes

most television presenters, at least in England. They have the truth in advertising to call most of these people news readers, because that is in fact what they're doing. They have all the intellectual gifts of an actor or somebody who's pitching you toothpaste or sham Wow's one of my favorite products. We needn't get sham wows back. I want to I want sham Wow as a sponsor because I'd be the new sham Wow guy. But back to, uh, what's going on here out in Oregon? So she's getting shouted down here?

And as if that's not bad enough, Christina Hoff summers because she says there's no rape culture, because she says the wage gap is a myth, which it quite obviously is. Otherwise, why not just only hire women for your company? Would save you sevent The single biggest cost that any business has for the well, the most businesses have is payroll. You could save seventeen percent over your competitors. I think you'd probably take it right. The wage gap is a

menth it's a lie, but it is popular. In fact, it's even popular among some conservatives for saying that though Miss Summers is denounced shouted down for being a fascist, and these students, I think that they have a right to this is the We've seen the storyline play out time and again. We've had on Um, the author of the Bell Curve, who was attacked at Middlebury, including a female professor with him, who was physically attacked while he was at Middlebury College to give a speech. Um. We've

seen this with uh this. I think it was like six thousand dollars they spent on a Ben Shapiro speech security a while back. Because such loons with anti fall. The anti FI didn't last all that long, did it. Antifa was supposed to be kind of a a cool resist tints thing, and sure enough it did not last very long at all. Antifa did not stay with where it is. Look at that right in the Naked time one more time, one more time, one of Trump's greatest hits right there, and Eva didn't last very long. But

you'd think that the students on this campus. The hashtag resistance are bad, but you know it's even worse. In this video, a dean of diversity, an employee of the school, comes up to Christina hof Summers and says the following and only said, yes, show Now the question is why would you notice there there trying to drown her out with playing music. There there's they're making noise during her

speech that you can't hear her speech. This is how now college kids, I mean kids, young adults in college think that they're supposed to be debating. But a dean of diversity approached her and asked her to speed it up and finish up and take questions. So now even the college employees are very much a part of the problem. They are enablers and defenders of this aggressive anti intellectualism, which is what's going on in these campuses. These have now become and when I say now become, we're just

seeing them for what they are. It's decades in the making. It goes all the way back. Go go watch PCU. I know I've said this before, Go watch it though it still stands up. Great movie, like a fun good movie. And you know, I don't even know if you get o with making it today. I think there would be objections to making PCU today, which is really just a statement of how far things have gone in the wrong direction. Politically correct University was a harbinger of things to come.

But the hot summer speech she gets shouted down, and then the dean comes in and tells her, hey, can you speed it up and take questions because we gotta get you. We gotta get you out of here. What is a dean of diversity anyway? You know, sometimes I think I want to cease being a useful person who at least tries to bring information and entertainment to those who are willing to give me the honor and pleasure

of their time. Sometimes I figure, you know, I just want to get the highest paid, lowest impact job possible. I want to be ahead of diversity for someplace. That sounds great for a university, be the chief of diversity. What does that mean? I get to give speeches about how we need to give more diversity? Well, what are your job metrics? Can't be quotas. Quotas are legal, So what do you do there? The answer is, whenever somebody asks you do we need more diversity? You say yes,

when everyone says, have we achieved our diversity goals? You say, no, what do we need more of diversity? That's your job and people get paid for this. Michelle Obama, everybody, don't ever forget it. Three hundred thousand dollars a year to be a diversity chief of a public hospital while Barack Obama was a state center. True story. And it's like two seventy five k. Yeah, the kind of job you can get with the politically connected husband at the time.

It's an amazing gig to seventy five k diversity. I do that in a heartbeat. I just sell out man, to sell out all my principles for the cat for the cold hard cash. Just kidding. I'm a warrior for truth and freedom. We're gonna hit a quick break. I'll be right back. This is gonna be in the file for a Sign of the Times. And this is not supposed to be a play on words, but it comes from the New York Times. Dorms for adults, my friends, that is a new trend that is is becoming a

real thing in major city thes like San Francisco. Housing in some of these areas, like the Bay Area, has become so overpriced has become so difficult to uh, so difficult to afford for we're talking about for working professionals here, for teachers, bookstore managers, lounge musicians, copywriters, merchandise planners. Uh they are moving into dorms. Now, one thing about this um for a lot of you, I know you're gonna say,

why don't people just move? But there is a big issue in this country with opportunity being consolidated in certain areas of the country, meaning jobs are much and much greater abundance in some places than they are and others. It also, and this is just a random aside, seems

a little counterintuitive to me. That's something that should be as decentralized as Silicon Valley software planning, right, which doesn't you can be anywhere, right, It's the whole notion of being able to work, from being able to work effectively from home and connectivity and all this Silicon Valley should

be on the forefront of it. And yet proximity the valley, as it's called, a different valley than the valley in l A Silicon valley is very you know, oh well, who's going to do our I p O of the billion dollars social media app, whereas the valley outside of la is like, hey, who wants to go surfing bro um, At least that's what I've been led to believe by movies. The valley near l A is like the San Fern San Fernando Valley, I think is what it's technically called.

That's out of l A. Right, that sounds right. I don't know l A very well, and there spend more time out there. But nonetheless, you would think that there could be a decentralization of Silicon Valley. And yet people are there. Right, if you want to work for Google, you want to work for these places. They have other campuses, but the most jobs are there in New York City. People send any book why can't you why? Why why don't you do your job and do it somewhere else? Right?

And I say it, then, well, you know, I maybe could work for Premiere Radio Network somewhere else in the country. Um, so it's possible. But the headquarters is here in New York City. So the people that make decisions, the bosses corporate,

they're all here in New York City. And Fox News is here in New York City, CNN is here in New York City, all the different newspapers I could think of, or here in New York City, if you're gonna be in the news and analysis business, you are just frankly at a disadvantage if you're not in New York City or in Washington, d c. Full stop. And so that

means that there are constraints in place. There are pressures, better way to say it than that there are pressures in place on the housing market that just get to the crazy level such that now we've got people in San Francisco who are my age who are living in straight up dorm situations. So you've got people in their thirties and their forties who have a bedroom, um, but they share a kitchen, they with strangers, they jerk kitchen, and they share a living room. And you know, I

I understand why this would happen. It's actually good business for some of the property owners that are doing it. Um, they have a wait list. Let me tell you about this Star City, which is one of these developers in San Francisco, has opened three properties with thirty six units. It has nine more in development and a wait list of eight thousand people. So there's clearly a market for it right. There's a market for it, and people get

a bedroom. Those of you who live in other parts of America that aren't that aren't New York City, San Francisco, a few other places. You're gonna laugh at this, but you got a bedroom of a hundred and thirty square feet. That is not a huge private space to have thirty square feet you're talking and here that's um that's that's in full size bed plus plus small. I kea addresser territory, and trust me, I know I have lived in apartments here in New York. Man, I should just tell you,

guys some of the places that I lived. I've had, uh, multiple roommates. I've lived in gosh, at this point, four or five different places in New York City. On my own, I've had roommates, have had tiny studio apartments. I've dealt with all all kinds of all kinds of craziness over the years of these apartments. But I was in one place I remember where you actually couldn't You couldn't open the door and get to the closet at the same time because it would cut off your only pathway. And

it wasn't really a closet. It was kind of a dresser. So the stories you hear about how tough it is in New York are all true. And if you watch the show Friends or any of that stuff, you see these expansive apartments that are supposed to be in friendly areas of New York City, but they have rent control on them. Yeah. Right, that is fantasy land stuff. We are packed in like sorry deans here. Um, And and that's happening in San Francisco. But you're seeing this adult dorms.

I think it's gonna take off. You're to see more and more of this communal living situations, essentially boarding houses for adults. Um, this is gonna happen in cities because it's just crazy. It's crazy what's happening in New York. Uh. San Francisco, LA is not as bad. It's much more spread out. There's more places too. I've looked at the housing market there a lot about maybe spending a lot of time out there. Uh, not nearly as about Chicago.

The housing markets not nearly as tight. But New York, San Francisco and increasingly Washington, d C. It is rough. So there's a part of the things to be kind of fun, of course, right, if for for at least some period of time, you know, you get to meet your roommates, you'll get But you know, I like my space now, and by space I just mean some some semblance of privacy, because I don't really have much of the way of space. So then I expect this coming

soon to a an urban area near you. Dorms for adults. I wonder if we're gonna have black lights and tiki torches and you know what's people listening? Tiki torches now is like a whole other connotation because of lava lamps, Thank you. Tiki Georges are a college thing, all right, has nothing to do with a bunch of bad people somewhere else. Lava lamps, tiki torches, um, you know, put like some kind of blanket on the wall that's a decoration.

What's that called black light posters? Thank you? Oh phuton. I have not met a lot of adults who have phutons, at least the way that we did in college, which was like a metal contraption with some thin some thin uh make believe mattress on it. I mean certainly not actually a mattress. But I wonder if it's if they're really going to lean into it. You know, I will tell you that, um My, my college dorm room was was adorned with all of the above. Uh, I definitely

was somebody. We had black light, it's we had phutons, obviously, a giant television. I live with three roommates for at least part of my college experience. That's what's happening now, folks. That's what's gonna go on because millennials now, we're also boxed out of the housing market. So we've got two options. Basically, we can either shack up with each other do this communal roommate situation, or stay with mom and dad. Hey, mom and Dad, can we get the basement refinished so

I can just stay forever. I just love you guys so much and I never want to move out. I don't even have to pay utilities. Yeah, that's the millennials, lament, my friend. We'll be right back a team. It's our last segment of the day here in the Freedom Humbet. Before I get into all the ladies, let me just say that I saw some some news, but I found

quite a bit troubling. So there's this dating app out there that is called Bumble and the way Bumble functions is that only the ladies on the app get to make the first move, so you can be on there, but the lady in question has to be the one that says it's up or hey, which is usually how as I understand these things start, or hi, how are you?

If you want to seem like you're really friendly. But they've decided to get in on the political action here by making a determination for the app going forward, an act of censorship, if you will, based upon a political political feeling in the moment, and that is that you will no longer be able to have a photo of yourself on a bumble app with a firearm. I'm assuming mostly for guys, but there are ladies out there who also like to pose with their firearms, so that is

now forbidden. This is a a cultural slapdown of those who would pose with firearms on a dating app. I will say, as soon as I saw the headline, I thought, oh, they better make a carve out, and yes they did. There is in fact a carve out for military and law enforcement. So if you're in your police uniform or you're in your b d us and you know you've got a rifle or whatever you're that, that's not gonna

get you banned. But if you're just somebody that's like, hey, I like my a R fIF team with the EO tech site and the four grip and the Nope, you cannot take a photo of yourself and put that up on your dating app. And I looked for the other obvious exception of this that one would expect, namely, what

if you're a duck hunter. Are we really now going to see somebody who is posting a photo up on a dating app and has, you know, reflective, reflective orange vest on, an orange hat in duck hunting sea reason, and the rest of him is camouflage with a double barrel shotgun Elma flood style, and you're gonna I know, very few people actually hunt with those these days. Usually people have a semi auto shotgun. But nonetheless, actually, I don't know what the numbers are on MAT. I've I've

gone shooting with some double barrel in my day. Actually, plenty of double barrel if you're doing skeet shooting, So strike that comment from the record. Nonetheless, if you're out there duck hunting, pheasant hunting, grouse hunting, uh, I don't know, whatever other kind of hunting you've got in mind, squirrel hunting.

For those of you who are so inclined, you could now get banned from the Bumble dating app, which I'm sure very few of you, very few of you have even heard about, and even a few of fewer of you care about. But I just want to know this is how it happens, folks. The culture dictates the politics down the line, and if the culture starts to become too comfortable with ostracizing second amend men, supporters, proponents, including

sports shooters, there was nothing about. You know, you could be somebody now who is on the Olympic shooting team, and technically speaking, Bumble will kick you off the app if you're you know, standing up there with your silver medal, because I mean gold sounds like it's really hard to get, but silver, let's just say, for the purposes of our story, here be up there with a silver medal, and you will not be allowed if you have your shotgun in your hands, you'll not be allowed to stay on the app.

I just I find this distressing because you're gonna see a lot more of this. I know. Walmart's also standing behind its previous decision to raise the age limit and change some of what it's willing to sell people in the area of firearms and ammunition. But once it comes into the culture that being a gun owner, we're just gonna see a bifurcation, a further separation whereby you now have gun ownership as a make or break thing on

a date. You know, there are very few things for me that I feel like our are a habit or a belief that right away our a deal breaker or would have been a deal breaker when I was a single man out on the scene dating. Now, I'm willing to bet there'll be plenty of young women, impressionable millennials among them, predominantly actually impressionable millennials, who we're gonna say, you know, if you if you're somebody who supports firearms, I just can't continue on this date with you, sir,

I'm sorry. And when you say, well, that's crazy, they'll say, well it's bumble. Bumble has a policy as you know about this, other dating apps may follow suit. And I just want to note that this is yet another instance of they think they're they think they're standing up against violence in the culture, or mass shootings, or I don't even know what they really think they're doing, because this is just crazy. But the cultural ramification subdecisions like this

should not be underestimated. There will be more of this. It will be personal, it will be personalized such that if you're someone who wants to, you know, take photos with your firearms, you're gonna be considered a bad human being and they're going to change the way that we interact with each other based on all this. But duck hunters need love to, folks. Wank wank. Duck hunters need love to. I don't know why bumbles being so mean and so nasty. But nonetheless, oh, let me, I actually jumped.

I jumped to the gun before part of the expression We're gonna get into some roll call after this break coming up here in just a second, to stay with me. Welcome back, folks. As promised, we are about to get into roll call. I just wanted to note that as we went into the break, there my man Brandon, who is running the board today. Um, we've got Brandon and Mike here in the freedom with me, producer Mike and

producer Brandon. But Brandon told with it he has in fact had some success on Bumble we could say that he is a he has been a user of Bumble in the past, and so it's and it can work out sometimes, right buddy, Yeah, I guess there are plenty of fish in the sea and just casting that line and see, you know that used to be a dating gap as well, plenty of fish. I did not like. I tried it, did not like the interface, didn't like that, didn't like the interface on that. But but Bumble gets

it done. Yeah, it's a little less creepy than than tender letter creeps out there, so it gives it makes women feel more safe, I think. But I thought it was interesting you told me in the break as well. There's a lot of of people who put all in their profiles now Trumpsters swipe left. And while I am not a supporter per se, I don't want to eliminate. I would date a Trump supporter, but like a lot of qualities about her or great, I wouldn't use that

as you know, a deal breaker right away. So yes, as for someone who's not a supporter to have seen a lot of that here in New York City, yeah, I can imagine in New York It's there's a lot of that going on. But don't worry, folks, trumpters, trump trumpsters, swipe right here in the Freedom Pod. You're in safe company. And with that, my friend Brandon please hit roll call. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll call bu bu Buck. Yeah.

I feel like I'm out at the party with all of you, and that's about as hip as I'm gonna get today. So we got uh coming up in roll call. By the way, this is where we go into our Facebook inbox for the show. Also on because we've got some some new stations that have just joined our affiliate network here in the last week or so. So those of you who are new to the Freedom Hunt, I want to tell you how this goes. Facebook dot com slash buck Sex and you can send a message there.

We here in the Hut get that message and we try to read through as many as we can. On air, I read everything that comes into that inbox. Also official Team Buck at gmail dot com. If you ever need to get me some info, you can just send it to me their old school email style. And any of you on Twitter at Buck Sexton. I tweet, not not obsessively like many of my media pears, but I got tweet here and there and you can also send me

your thoughts there. It's always nice when one or two members of Team Bucks see me on Fox News and they're like, good job Buck, trust me. I appreciate it. Usually I finish and I'm like, what, what is the meaning of life? I'm just doing all this TV? But what is really going on with my day? And it's always nice to get a little picked me up from from a member of the team. So with that roll call, here we are. We got first up here, Michael, who's

being a little salty. Argyle sweaters will never be stylish unless you live in Scotland. Argyles sucks are okay because they're largely hidden. For most of my life, by the way, I refused to wear hats. They gave me a headache and messed up my hair. Plus, when you have a size seven and three quarters head, it's hard to find a hat that fits. Uh well, let me tell you, my friend, Um, I have the same problem. Hats just

don't fit my head. And I've gone through this so many times, and I've had so many adults, especially in my youth and my adolescence, try to just squeeze a baseball cap on the top of my head. And I feel like they were just, you know, they were just harshing my mellow man, Like they just weren't really understanding that the craniums huge. It's just too big. You can't it is like spot nick. It could explode at any moment. You can't try to hold it down. You cannot hat

this cranium. You can only hope to contain it, or something like that. So that's where I go with that. Next up here we've got our friend Duke. Duke is writing me the following, hold on here we where did it go? What where did it go? Here we go? I will embrace the dad Bob quote buck buck buck note to miss Molly. Be afraid, be very afraid, totally off the rails, my friend, give Miss Molly my phone number. Hey, Duke, back off, none of that, none of that stuff. You know.

It's look, I agree, dad, body is totally acceptable when you're a dad. I am not yet a dad, therefore I probably should I don't get into the gym and do some of these things. Um I did. I actually did leg day on Sunday, and I'm so sore. My legs hurt so much now after all of my lifting and stretching and heavy stuff. It was very rough. Um, leg day is no fun. But I'm not yet at a point where you've got to be really jacked before you can start posting memes like leg Day. I'm just

crying all over the place. Anyway, back to the roll call here, Mary, Oh wow, Mary, you have written me a lot um so thank you for that. I cannot get into this on the air because it's an essay, but the essays appreciate and I will read it in full when I am done here, So let me get I will get to that all right. Next up, Logan, Logan rights, you have to finish get out. It's not about what you think it is at all. It's written to be a commentary about white liberals worshiping being black Logan.

I mean, I I got through two thirds of the movie and thought it was terrible. So the last third of it can't make it a good movie. It maybe would make it a not absolutely atrocious movie. So I will consider going back just so I can say that I finished it, so that I can trash it in in uh, in good faith, good conscience, and with full knowledge of of all the facts. So that's what I think is gonna that's what I think we got there. Um,

but thank you Logan for your thoughts. Steve is Next up, um Buck shields high best movie that did not receive any Academy awards or nominations. Wind River great movie with a phenomenal message and two wicked shootouts. An intense movie worth renting. Those scenes are right up there with the movie heat. Um. I completely agree. I've talked about wind River here on the show. I thought it was very

well done. I was impressed. The younger sister of the Mary Kate Ashley Olsen Twins, plays the main female lead in the movie, and I think does quite a good job. I think Jeremy Renner also does a very good job. But yes, I liked I liked wind River, and I would recommend it to people for sure. Next up, he also writes here, this is from Steve Stale. I haven't

tried much Vietnamese food. Might you post a suggestion of what you would suggest as starting and then slightly more complicated food or what you like and why as best as words can describe food. I love your show, Professor Buck. Thank you so much, Steve in terms of starting out being in terms of like you know, just getting into it, you know, highly ranked amateur Vietnamese food. I would say anything that involves the glass noodles is a pretty good

way to start. Also, they have a rice pancake. I do not even know, I do not even know how to pronounce it badly, but there's a rice pancake that they fill with stuff that's amazing, and so I would very much recommend that, you know what, I'll have to do a little research. The most famous dishes is fu which is spelled pho. That's a beef It's a sliced beef soup. Essentially, it's kind of a cross between a soup and a stew. It's very, very delicious and on a cold day, it's one of the best things I

think you could you could find to eat. Um. But yeah, I'll look for some stuff. They're big into crispy spring rolls, so that's pretty standard. You can get into that. Uh sometimes frog legs because there's that French influence. Remember it was French Indo China. There's a French culinary influence in viet Um. But I'm I really think Vietnamese Vietnamese food and Vietnamese culture it's really interesting. Um, I'm a I'm

a proponent of it. I'm a fan of checking it out because it's quite different from other things that you will experience and food wise, I'd go as far as say it's my favorite Asian food, which is saying a lot, because I love Indian food. I used to love Chinese food. But there's too much soy sauce in it, and soy sauce, as many of you listen to the show, no, should be called wheat sauce because the primary ingredient after water is in fact wheat, and wheat has gluten, so it's

like pouring liquid gluten all over my food. So I can't have soy sauce. They have gluten free soy sauce. I know. I have it in my fridge. It's pretty good. In fact, you can't tell the difference. Kayala Marie is next up here. Hey Buck, I love your show. See Kala pays attention because I said, if you want me to read your thick on air, best I can do is start with love your show or great stuff or whatever. People start off like you face. That's usually not going

to get me to read it on the air. Although I do this live so don't know if. Sometimes I stumble into a message and I'm like, oh, this person doesn't like me as much as I thought a ward. But Kayla seems to like the show, so thank you, Kyla, She writes a lover your show. I just started listening late last year and I'm glad I found your podcast. You make my daily commute to and from work way more bearable. Are you ever going to come to the Midwest and have a meet and greet and recorder show?
