Pelosi Losing Her Feud With Trump

This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts remember of the nimbdected no that not only is the President holding the American people in America's workers hostage, He's holding the Republicans in the Congress of the United States hostage. Not all of them. Some of them understand what it means in the lives

of American people. We hope that more of them will. Congressional Democrats support smart, effective border security, but we do not support the president holding the health, safety, and paychecks of the American people hostage again to a campaign applause line. There is serious and justified concern that this president would shut down the government anytime he does not get his way legislatively. That is why we must hold the line.

The State of the Union speech has been canceled by Nancy Pelosi because she doesn't want to hear the truth. She doesn't want the American public to hear what's going on. She's afraid of the truth and the super left Democrats, the radical Democrats. What's going on in that party is shocking. I know many people that were Democrats are the switching over right now, the switching over quickly. So I hope they know what they're doing for their party. So far

they haven't. If you know, I won the Senate, meaning we won the Senate all together, but we had no credit for that, they don't talk about that. They talk about the House. So welcome to the buck sex and show everybody. This is turning into quite the back and forth between Nancy Pelosi and Speaker Pelosi and President Trump as I understand it, the shutdown began, Pelosi extended the invite. Trump said, okay, yeah, I'll take the invite to give

the see of the Union. And then Pelosi had some nonsense about how there wouldn't be you know, secret service protection or something, and that was just that was just crap. And then okay, then the invite was. Trump said yeah, I'll take that invite, and then Pelosi's like, psych, no invite for you. Do you remember do you remember that Brandon a mike when people should go psych? People don't really do that anymore. Oh God, I miss the nineties. So this is going to continue on for quite a while.

This is not going to end anytime soon, I think, and I know that there are poles that will tell me that I'm wrong, but I don't care. I know more than poles said every political analyst ever. I think Pelosi's losing here. I think the Democrats are losing because they don't really have an argument. Their argument is effectively

slogans and talking points. And the longer people hear about this, the longer I think we can look at this and all understand that they don't really care about border security. It's not about the money. It's just about the Amocrats not wanting to give Trump a win. That's all it is. Or that's eighty percent of a twenty percent of is they just want to keep the flow of illegals coming

into the country. But most of it is they just know that a Trump administration that could go into twenty twenty saying, see, we keep our promises, and we kept our biggest and most profound promise during the campaign, trip Trump will be unstoppable. Kamala Harris, Come on, Elizabeth Warren, please you go down the list. They got nothing, Kirsten Gillibrand, no way. This guy out of South Bend, Indiana, he just threw his hat in the ring. It's a joke. There's no way. But there are gonna be a lot

of candidates. And look, the Republicans have candidates soon never got above a few percentage points. So I'm not saying that this is on just one side. But you look at this, They're not even running their first tier establishment democrat. It's really Kamala Harris. Fine, Corey Booker, Yes, but and he hasn't thrown his hat, and yet he will. Elizabeth Warren. I think Elizabeth Warren may have self destructed in one one fell swoop more than any politician in recent memory.

I think that she's done. I just don't believe that the American people are gonna say, yeah, you're one one and twenty fourth Native Americans, so that's like basically Native American. Sure, I don't believe that, and I think that they'll create real problems for themselves if they essentially legitimize racial fraud, which is what she engaged in. But with Pelosi and with Trump though, she hasn't had to deal with someone

like Trump before, and I think it's really unnerving. I've seen some pundits say, oh, Trump has never had to deal with somebody like Nancy Pelosi before, a woman in such a powerful position. And I don't think the Trump is the one that's unnerved by this at all. I think that he understood, he responded, He responded that, or responded rather to people who were saying, you've got to follow through on this promise, and the promise was that

he would build a wall. The more people learned about a wall, the more clear it is that Trump was right on that all along. And isn't that worth just taking a moment to think about. We have been told by Democrats for three years now, right, all of Trump's time running for office, as in running for the general and the primary. But We've been told for all that and since he's been president that a wall is it's dumb, it doesn't make any sense, it won't work, it's you know,

all this stuff. We hear all this stuff all the time about the wall, and yet now that we are looking at the wall, the fence doesn't matter. Trump was right all along. He was right on that. You know, I'm gonna have a trade expert later on in the show about Trump and China and his willingness to confront China on trade, and what you're gonna hear is effectively is very similar, and that all the experts were saying, Oh, no, you can't do anything about China. That's terrible. Trade war,

trade war, so bad, free trade, free trade. These are slogans. China needs to be dealt with on these issues because China's acting badly at our expense. The southern border is not secure, but the areas that have been largely secured have sufficient resources, and usually that means offense. Why is it that Trump was the only one who was willing to say these things? Though, you know, I would note that with all seventeen Republican candidates, maybe Ted Cruz toward

the end in a last ditch effort. By the way, it is not true. Some of you are gonna are gonna laugh him. It is not true that Ted Cruz inspired me to grow a beard. That rumor has been started. I will put that put that to bed right now. Although I do think that it's a good thing, and that he is he looks a little he looks a little like His beard is kind of I don't know if it's like Civil War general or Wolverine more, but

it's it's more statesmanlike. I think the Cruise beard. And next time I see Senator Cruz, I'll give him a high five for the beard. But he wasn't really pushing the wall the way Trump was. Only Trump was pushing this wall. And Ann Coulter and her bocadio sumhar. You got to give Anne credit. I mean, Anne is somebody recently described and to me as not even a pundit and is like her own country, which I thought was really funny. And I'm sure Ane would appreciate that. She's

got a good sense of humor. But you know, she very much gave the president prucer. Mike is saying he definitely looks more like Wolverine. I agree he is. It's more wolverine like that cruise beard, you know, And now you feel like he's a little more rough and tumble. When when he wears that Carhart jacket for the photo op, you're like, oh, that's not the first time Senator Cruz has put on that jacket. You guys all know what I'm talking about. Uh, you know, the beard is a

good look for him. I'm still not sure about my own beer, but it's I'm not going to be solop cystic like a millennial and talk about the beard, at least till the end of the show when we talk about other solopsistic millennials. I don't think millennials know what that word means. That's why I use it, Producer Mike. I exposed them. I expose their millennial ignorance. On the left. Solops is in the center of the You are the center of the universe. That is what the word means,

um like sool like the sun. You are the center of the universe, so I or maybe it's the center of the solar system whatever. I think that Trump is doing well on this one, but I do like to look at the at the big ideas this administration has been pushing and at least we're having a full hearing of them. And I think it's amazing to watch how

the more knowledge we have on these things. I mean, I routinely crushed libs when I debate the wall or the border with them Ian They don't even want to talk about it anymore because the facts and the reality is on the side of people who say there is a problem, a wall would help and we need to do something about it, and all the actual experts agree

with that. So Pelosi saying this is just a campaign promise is Pelosi doing what she always does, which is just politics without much much of a boost of IQ injected into it. I mean, this is just whatever she has to say to try and outmaneuver Trump, and she's never dealt with a Republican like him before. Other Republicans would have caved already. And you all know, because I was saying on the show, when I thought that Trump wasn't even going to have this fight, I was furious.

I was furious. I came on the show when we thought it was going to be just okay, He's going to sign this thing, and I was curious. And Trump listened to people who like me. I mean, he was I think listening yes to Anne and to Rush and to people that have a voice that he should by the way, he should listen to. I think it's so funny because oh, it's terrible these people were in the country.

What we would rather have the president take the advice of overpaid political consultants, you know, polsters and people that are just creatures of the Beltway. Why why do they have some great wisdom or knowledge that the president should be listening to. But all this possibility of a State of the Union address, um, I like that they're considering alternative venues for it. I think that that's that's a

good move. I do have some concerns about the way that this all ends, is that the airports essentially become a complete, a complete nightmare co compleat disaster. I think that there's a real possibility that if you have widespread tsa sick outs where they're just not showing up, which people are already saying, it's gone up. By the way, I think the the rate for last week a year ago, when they were doing a comparison was you know, one percent or two percent, we're out, and this it was

five or something. It wasn't some huge number, but it's going to get bigger that the Republicans finally say all right, that's too much, than they cave. And at that point, for Trump to declare a national emergency to get it done, you know that would that would also be something that

comes with its own set of consequences. And I do get when you have someone like Ocasio Cortez saying something as fundamentally stupid and really demented as twelve years from now, the world is going to end if we don't have a green new deal and tackle climate change, and people cheer for this and clap like that's something that any normal human being should be saying. It does worry me that the president's declaring a national emergency based upon their

judgment unless it is really, really, really clear. I do think the border is a national emergency, but I know that if that press is set by this president, heaven forbid the next time we have a Democrat, and it's you know, probably going to be twenty twenty four, and it looks like it might be President o'cazio Cortez. I know she doesn't know anything, but liberals don't care. They don't care. You guys can look at me like I'm crazy. They just do not care that she doesn't know anything

sounds right though they liked the whole package. She's, you know, a socialist and she owns it, and they're all into it. So twenty twenty four here we come. I'm feeling very confident about Trump's chances in twenty twenty. I know that can all change, but Special Counsel's not going to take him down no way. And the media's credibility is worse than it was the first time around when he ran. He's gonna just be able to pummel them and it

will be highly amusing and very much deserved. And the economy strong made a lot of good decisions, great on judges. Although you know, a friend of mine brought up recently, what about the possibility of from a strategic juror's prudence perspective, Supreme Court Thomas retiring deciding that he's going to retire and allow Trump in the next twelve months to replace

Justice Thomas. Now, I don't you know, it's going to be a harder replace Justice Thomas with somebody that is of that caliber and that kind of truly conservative constitutional constitutionally sound approach, but it might be a good idea. Get that Supreme Court really conservative. I mean, we should just go all in on this. This notion of the era of pretending like we're all going to agree on

a centrist Merritt Garland like candidate. That's a that's a laugh because the centrist always go for the Libs and we know this. I can't even trust, we can't even trust John Roberts. You mark my words. Before Trump's administration is out, John Roberts is going to deal a crushing blow to constitutional concern Britism with at least one, if not a couple of decisions where you sit there and say, has this guy been reading out of the communist manifesto?

What is his problem? But I'm telling you he's an institutionalist more than he's a conservative, So you can expect that to happen. All right. I got a little more on the Pelosi Trump for you, and I know we're running out of the time. I've got updates on the Covington situation. I'm going to talk to you about the truth of the back and forth over Trump China trade.

We've got to talk to you about a gun case Second Amendment guncase out of New York City with big implications, going to make fun of the media, Gonna have roll call. I've got a phenomenal guest, by the way, on immigration coming up in the next hour. He worked out at the border as a process in the border region as a prosecutor, and man, he's got some great stuff to tell you about. That's all coming up together. We'll make America more safe by passing common sense legislation to end

the epidemic of gun violence. But we will make America more American by protecting Dreamers and TPS recipients. We will make America more just by protecting people with pre existing conditions, expanding access to healthcare and lowering the price of prescription drugs, and defending Medicare and Medicaid. And we will strengthen our democracy by passing the Equality Act, that is an act to end discrimination against LGTB community. And that's a Greens.

It's really a shame what's happening with the Democrats. They've become radicalized. They don't want to see crime stuff, which we can very easily do on the southern border. And it really is a shame what's happening with the Democrats. This will go on for a while. Ultimately, the American people will have their way because they want to see no crime. They want to see what we're doing, like today we lowered prescription drug prices first time in fifty is.

They want to see that. The Democrats would never have been able to do that. So we're all working very hard. We'll have to respond to it, will respond to it in a timely matter. Thank you very much, everybody. I like this. I like that we get to hear the different agendas. This is politics. You've got Nancy Pelosi who's just mumbling some nonsense about common sense gun reform. You know, if it's so common sense, you shouldn't have to say it.

You know that, that to me is a tell. When as Trump is saying that, you know, he's got an agenda that he wants to follow through on and things that would be really beneficial for the American people. Ultimately, Pelosi knows that none of her agenda is going through. It's not happening. Trump won't allow that to happen because

he thinks that her ideas are bad. And I think her ideas are bad, but I do think that it's important for them to be aired out in front of all of the at least the American people who are paying attention to this. For those Americans who avoid carring about politics, I envy them. That's a nice that's a nice thing. I guess a political junkie, you can't help it. But the shutdow down is going to be a real

test of wills here. The heat is definitely going to get turned up as you have people going longer without paychecks. Although I would also know that Pelosi has made it very clear she doesn't. You know, this is what Democrats do all the time. They pretend to care so much about the little guy or little gal who's in a rough place and you know, not getting their paycheck. But Pelosi, please, she's gonna she's gonna jaunt off on her boondoggle overseas. She got she Pelosi got better things to do than

worry about the TSA employees. I'll be honest with you. In her own mind, at least she thinks she does. So this Karen, so much about the little guy is one of the Democrat's favorite ploys, and it's so full of it. Yeah, Nancy Pelosi, she's the everyman or every woman Ah Covington, we got to do that. It's coming up. Why didn't you walk away? Well, now, I wish I would have walked away. I didn't want to be disrespect phot to mister Phillips and walk away if he was

trying to talk to me. What do you think that look like? I see it as a smile saying that this is the best sure you're going to get out of me. You won't get any further reaction of aggression, and I'm willing to stand here as long as you want to hit the strong in my face. There's something aggressive about standing there, standing your ground. You both stood

your ground and it was like a stair down. What do you think of that now when you think about that moment, Oh, I would say, missr philis Head is right to come up to me. I had my right to stay there. Our school was slandered by the African Americans who had caught us all sorts of things. Savannah Guthrie is a classic mainstream media hack. Nothing. You know, she looks the part, she sounds the part. She's played the game at NBC or whatever, and now this is

somebody that we're supposed to take seriously. Reasons I don't know, doesn't have any expertise than anything. Wasn't a great wasn't a great journalist at a newspaper, doesn't write, doesn't you know? It's just she's a she's a TV presenters, basically an actor, and she obviously takes the most popular left of center view she can on any issue, always right. And I've seen enough of her stuff to know that this is her stick. It's it's like the Matt Lauer stick, which

she used to obviously work with an NBC. You know, this is what these broadcast news hosts do. They try to find a way to seem like they're being fair, but it's always a little always a little skewed, isn't it to the other side, always pretty clear that they're really not interested in being down the middle. And you saw that in this exchange. I mean, she's saying, there's

something aggressive about standing your ground. Why is that aggressive if somebody walks over to you, which is what Phillips did. Remember this is Nick Sandman, who was the Covington High School student who was captured in the most clear footage of him is up close where he's with this guy Phillips um, Why does Nick salmon, have a dude, Is he supposed to run away because a guy walks over to him and starts banging a drum in his face? That that's so? It's so it's not. Isn't that an

interesting way to think about this though? The way that Savannah Guthree frames this. First of all, she's talking to a fifteen year old kid. Okay, he's now doing a national news interview, and and she she's you know, don't it's aggressive for you to stand there? No. I think people would would argue that it's it's insane to think

that he's supposed to run away. He didn't mean this man any harm, He wasn't he had no aggressive And then the guy walk up to him banging his drum in his face, and he just looked at him aggressive. You might say it's defensive, which I think is understandable in the circumstances. But to suggest that there was an aggression in this um, it's it's bizarre. Really. I think it's a very strange thing for Guthrie to ask him.

But you understand she's she's trying to make sure that her mostly live audience thinks that, you know, she's representing their view of how he should be questioned. Well, I want to know when Phillips is going to be asked any questions. And I want to know when the Black Israelites who were present will be asked some questions. Where

is the Oppo research on them? When? When do journalists asked the adults, including the adults who were yelling anti gay slurs, racist slurs, threatening the students, and just generally acting like maniacs. And everyone knows that the Black Israelites act this way. I've I have heard the Black Israelites up close and personal. Have you ever have you ever heard them Brandon? I'm assuming probably many times just in

the video? Sure, I mean so you've heard them right, yeah, yeah, on the street in New York there they sit in Times Square and they yell crazy things at people, really belligerent, nasty things. So when, but when do they have to answer any questions about their conduct? Why do we take this position? Why is the assumption automatically that it is you know, Nick Sandman's issue, It is his problem that he has to be the one to deal with this.

He's the fifteen year old kid. But there's more of this, there's more of this where Guthrie just makes it quite clear as well that you know, there's some of the responsibility here is just the Trump support that's part of this play three. Do you think if they weren't wearing that hat, this might not have happened, or it might have been different. That's possible. But I would have to assume what mister Phillis was thinking, and I'd rather let him speak from why he came up to your kid's

doing very well. I would not, you know, knowing, you know, don't put words in someone else's mouth. I mean, he's I saw today criticism from people in the media about, oh, he's obviously had PR teaching on this. Of course he has,

you know. And please does anyone think that that Sandra Sandra Fluke when she was making the rounds, or that David Hogg when he was making the rounds, that they didn't have immense PR and media assistance and help from the left wing apparatus that rallies to young people when they find it convenient to do so for political purposes.

Of course, of course that happened. But she asked him if it's if it's the fault of the MAGA hat, and there's a bit of a something a little freudying about this, because really, this is why when you and you add that on to the fact that these are all mostly white students from a school that is a Catholic institution, and they had just marched for life and they are autumn, all those things are stose strikes against these students in the eyes of the media. They are

they just are. I won't get into this, you know, later we'll talk about priests and some of the priests that have weighed in on this issue. I just I don't understand how you can be a Catholic and vote Democrat. I really mean, I just don't get it. You know, it's the church teaching on abortion could not be any more clear. And yet, I mean, the Democratic Party the one thing you have to be to be a Democrat. No no choice, no wiggle room, nothing. There's no big

tent for pro life in the Democratic Party. It does not exist anymore. And people who pretend that they are part of it's a fraud. Wants someone Pelosi wants is to be able to abort a baby, you know, when it's out of the womb. I mean, it doesn't even matter that they're just they are savage on this issue. And I don't understand how a Catholic can be okay

with that. I just I don't. But and I know many of you who are listening, who or of other denominations also feel that way about you know, whether you're a Protestant or' an evangelical UM. But it's it's really mind boggling to me. But they don't like these kids because of all this. They don't like those kids. They don't like these kids for those reasons. And then of course they have to take what they're the conclusions that

they jumped to, the media jumped to. They have to ask those questions of these kids, as though that's a reasonable or rational thing for anyone to think. There's nothing racist about what these kids did. There's nothing racist that they said, there's nothing racist in their in their actions. They didn't ask for this, they didn't instigate this, and they didn't do anything. So why are they being asked questions like they did? Um? Play a clip two here?

Do you think it was a good idea to start chanting back at the protesters And the hindsight, I wish we had just found another response to wait for buses. But at the time, being positive seemed better than letting them slander us with all of these things. So I wish we could have walked with Did anyone shout any insult back or any racial slurs back at the group? We're a Catholic schooling. It's not tolerated. They don't tolerate racism,

and none of my classmates are racist people. I mean, I can tell you this, if anyone in my Catholic school had yelled at a racial slur, they would have been lucky if they didn't get expelled. So, and it's this idea, I mean, think about what the media imbeciles really think here. Think about Savannah Guthrie. You know, if they're multibillion dollar contract to go on TV to do a job that a thousand other people could do better,

but you know, NBC brass likes or whatever. Think about what they're suggesting here that at this school for boys in Kentucky, somebody could just casually throw out some racial There were adults present. There were you know, I'm not hall monitors, what do you call them, well, chaperones. There were all monitors. They're ready to take action. Skillsness, sir, do you'll have a pass? No, but there were adults present,

and they that never would be okay. There is no school in America, no Catholic school in America, to be sure, where you could yell out racial slurs at adults strangers nearby, and the adults that are there monitoring you would not have had an absolute fit over it, and rightly so. But just notice that they're getting it. They're asking these questions. I mean, this is I mean, Savannah Guthrie is essentially asking the kind of questions that in a different context

people would say. So, you're just asking if their skirt was too short? Huh. I know their boys, but you get what I'm saying. You know, you're just asking, you know, were you asking for it? That's what they thrust of this interview with Guthri. I mean, it's it's appalling. It's appalling people are doubling down in the media after they've been exposed is idiots and frauds on this question. I mean,

that's why it's such a national news story still. I think it's still the biggest news during the country right now other than the shutdown. People are really talking about this because the media just does not learn their lesson and what you realize is that they don't even care. They don't care if they get this stuff wrong. They have an agenda. They are there to serve a purpose.

They're there to support, to bolster a point of view and use their platforms to do that, and to shut down and shout down people that are oppositional to that agenda. People like you and me. We're at least almost all. I always gotta remember their Democrats listen to you guys, do write me. Sometime I was like, I'm a Democrat and I like your show. Yeah, send me some Democrat messages on Facebook. I like hearing from the stealth Democrats. I'm not going to out you Democrats to listen to

the show. It's cool. You're welcome. Welcome to Team Buck Democrats. We're slowly but surely bringing you into the light. It's a good thing. We will be back with a little more on this Covington update situation, so stay right there. I was docked three separate occasions before we posted that video, and the threats they've been horrible that I've never heard such cruel things wished upon another human being, who ranges from getting locked inside of building and burned alive to

sexually assaulted by the clergy members. It's just awful. This is what's happening to these kids. Their private information is being put online and people are finding them and reaching out them online or however they can. It's saying the most horrific things to them. And I have to bring this back to this just shows you that the left is insane because the reason people hate these kids is

because of their political beliefs. It is because they are progressives who believe all this stuff that they're being told about the world is ending in twelve years because of climate change, and all ethnic minorities in America are deeply oppressed, and essentially white people in America have to make huge amends for all the terrible stuff that they're still doing. And white male patriarchy is the root of all evil

in this country. I mean, they believe that stuff. They believe that, and so that's why they would then act in such completely horrific and insane fashionist threatened kids who didn't even do anything. I saw today a thread of different and this is all in the you know, the online battles that are being waged among the blue checks, which you all know is just verified journalists on Twitter,

but sometimes I'll use blue checks as a shorthand. But the Blue checks were fighting about this, and people were saying they're trying to draw comparisons between these the Covington kids and Trayvon Martin, and I'm like, wait, what I actually she heard somebody on Fox News, somebody who I know and actually on a personal level, like and I won't name her now because I don't want you guys to yell at her on Twitter, but she said, you know, well you look at Trayvon Martin, and Barack Obama said,

you know, that would have looked like my son and how people and I'm like, wait, why are we talking about Trayvon Martin. Trayvon Martin was a six foot tall, one hundred and eighty pound eighteen year old who was trying to pound somebody's head open on the pavement and just happened to be tangling with a guy who was a concealed carry permit holder, a weirdo and not a good guy. I'm not you know, Zimmerman's not somebody that anybody should you know, think he's a hero or a

good guy. But you know you're gonna back somebody's head in the sidewalk. They got a gun, They're gonna shoot you, And that's what happened. I just and I'm hearing this. I saw some kind of like a third tier pundit.

I can't remember his name, and I wouldn't say it if I could, but over at MSNBC, and this tweet went megaviral, I mean, like over one hundred thousand retweets and shares and or retweets and likes, and it was something along the lines of, you know, white teenager acts badly, Um, oh, he's just a kid, Black black teenager acts badly, or you know, he's no angel. And I believe it was in a reference to Treyvon the Treyvon Martin discussion. But even if even if it wasn't, I'm just these kids.

Why is this all of a sudden a reflection of people's you know, racial politics, you know, whatever they think the country's racial politics may be. The kids didn't do anything. There was no racial incident except for the black adults present who were yelling racial slurs at the kids, and by the way, yelled the racial slur at a black student who was with the Covington kids, which I can't repeat on air. But Why do we even talk about this like it's some kind of like there was The

only incident was the media lying about it. But there's still this hope. They're still they're so grasping it. Maybe there was something they wore. Those maga hats who maga hats are, They're triggering for libs. They can't handle it. The only people who have suffered here. I would note also the adults aren't getting death threats. Meaning Phillips, who by the way, did not serve in Vietnam, refers to himself as a Vietnam Times Vet. I'm sorry, but if you're a VET, you're a VET. God bless and thank

you for your service. No one should be lying about what they did in any job. And to say you are a Vietnam Times VET and have the whole media saying you're a Vietnam VET has a very specific implication. The guy was, from what I understand seeing the records today, in a riflry unit for two days state side and then served as a refrigerator mechanic. Now logistics people totally honorable. I'm not putting that down at all. I'm just saying, you know, you don't run around I can tell you

this from a CIA side. I'm not pretending that I was doing dead drops and you know, smuggling people out of the country on enduring black ops with unmarked helicopters and stuff. No, that's the way that I conduct myself in the CIA or about my background. The CIA try to be honest about it all the time. I just expect people to be honest. That guy's not honest. But you know, they're not getting any threats, they're not having anything bad happened to them. But here's more of what

happens to the Covington's dudents, Play five. There have been many threats against our lives, against our parents. Some of these threats include that we should all be locked in the school and sen burnt to the ground, the school being bombed, school shooting threats. It's really scary, people threatening to bomb and burn down the school. The kids didn't do anything. The media and the adults that were president this encounter, they're the ones that people should be asking

some really tough questions too. And you know what, we all know that's not going to happen. When do you want to spot that burglar when he's actually doing a casing of your home, or when he's already broken in. Well, ask John because his Blink camera alerted him to burglars trying to break in while he and his family were home, or Shannon, who's Blink camera caught a thief stealing packages. Both times, Blink video clips were sent to police to

help convict the crooks. Blink motion activated indoor and outdoor cameras are wire free, set up in minutes, and run on two double A batteries that last up to two years.

I'm a gas that he voted for a border barrier several times in the past, but he doesn't vote for one now I'll be because he does not want to give President Trump a win. He's putting his political hatred this president over his responsibility

to protect this nation. He don't need the government reopen to negotiate the people at the negotiating table. They're getting paid and the Democrats are proposing bills. I reviewed one this morning. They want to cut icy tension beds in half, which will double the moment catch release, which shows again the Democrats are not serious about border security. They want open borders, and their bills at their proposing right now

support that ideology. There you have the former acting director of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement saying on National TV what I've been saying to you all along, which is that the Democrats will not say it, but all of their actions point toward they want a state of near open borders. Effectively, they do not want illegal immigration to end. It is not correct to say that they agree or they share our long term goal here. And a major part of

this is the conversation over the wall. They say that walls don't work. That is a stupid been talking point. It is untrue. It is obviously untrue. And I told you about what's going on at the Tijuana San Diego border wall because I was there last week. I want to bring somebody who brings another perspective of where the wall has worked and how it has worked. Matt Pinsker joins US now. He wrote a piece for National Review called my Attention, walls work, just ask this community college

on the southern border. Matt, thanks so much for joining us, man. I appreciated your peace and National Review. By the way, you're a prosecutor by trade, right well, I was a special procesure. I'm actually working now as a defensive train. That's really what I do at Hearts is a special assignment called up by the Army and assigned to the Justice deployment for six months as on the border, handling cases thousands of criminal cases for of illegal entry as

well as cartel activity. When my deployment up, I returned home and reopened my wall practice to in criminal defense. I spent from one side back to the other. All right, cool, So I wanted to talk. I wanted to ask you about what you write right on with this piece. Laredo Community College solved its illegal immigration problem with an eight foot tall, mile long fence set the scene a little bit. What do we need to know about Laredo Community College

where it's located? Why do we why does this come up? Absolutely, Laredo Community College is a very picturesque, very beautiful cost campus that it first looks like any other college in America, very scenic, and unique to it is that is situated literally just one hundred one hundred and fifty yards from the Rio ground itself, that it is literally right there on the border. And just like everywhere else on the border around town, they're having problems with illegal immigration and

cartel activity, which are actually one and the same. But multiple times a week they're being phone calls all illegal immigrants going through campus. Usually they left people live, but there were reported to solve best and other problems. Of course, border patrol would chase them through campus. You imagine if you're a place of work, multiple times a week you're

having law enforcement chases of shoots through campus. But yeah, even if there wasn't an additional crime, I think it's understandable for people that are going to college to have the cops chasing down illegals actually right on the campus. That might put some people on edge and also there are safety risk if the cops have to travel at

high speed in a car. And I mean there's stuff that goes on and here's all really skiff set people on edge, the cartels, the blood there see people who like isis put up videos of them hacking people apart. They were conducting major truck drug transactions on the college campus's tennis courts and parking lot. I mean, that's obviously a threat to student safety. And what do you fix this? Do you put an end to this? They erected just a one mile border fence, not at all. It is

a simple eight foot tall fence. I've been a tall fence about just eight but brought iron black posts. They split them in just one mile on link and overnight it went to practically zero. Is with the illegal immigration or cartel activity on campus and it's the other side of it. People say, oh, they'll just go around it. Well yes, when they go around it, though, creates a choke point for a border, but for all to line and wait, it redirects its funnels them into a choke point.

Or if they do try to go over it or under it again, it flows them up a couple of minutes. But all border patrol needs is a couple extra minutes to arrive in time. I mean cameras, motion detectors. The only work if you can arrive in time to get to stop them. And so many times you know there's out on patrol with you, a supporder patrol, and we respond, but we couldn't get there in time to stop them

because a couple of minutes. Talk to anyone in law enforce and they'll tell you that they have just a two to three extra minutes of response time for a situation that'll make all the difference in the world. And that's where the fence said. It worked great, and why can't the rest of America have the same protection and benefits. There's a commune call its What do you think when you hear people it's still on TV. You'll have supposedly

serious journalists talking heads another say walls don't work. Did you think that they're just engaging in actively dishonest propaganda or they just don't know, or because it's just it seems so obvious. And there are all these stories. I was at San Diego, you're talking about Laredo, these fences that have been up, and maybe we should all just start calling it a fence. Now, so people stopped freaking

out about a wall. They've proven themselves. I just don't understand how we're still even how it's still even an open question, never mind a talking point for Democrats to say we shouldn't do more of this. You know, I agree to one hundred percent, like arguing is the earth is round or flat? And maybe the best way to look at it is you know, one third of Americans think nine levels inside job. Well, a third of Americans think that the new landing was a hoax. Maybe that's

just the best place to put it. You know, just some people, despite all logic, commonsense and reason, think very bizarre positions. And you know that's being charitable. I think some people are just being deceptively dishonest. Look at Stevens from Schumer from nine years ago and President of Rock Obama as well, for him when he was in office supporting the wall. Now, I think suddenly flip flops. Come on, I don't believe that they actually change their mind about that,

not for a second. Now, So you were down there on the border, and you were working for the government, and that role you said as a prosecutor, working alongside law enforcement. What do you think about this? You know, one of the new I shouldn't say talking points, one of the new issues that's come up in the last couple weeks. If people say, well, okay, fine, the opioid crisis is terrible, we all have to read is terrible. It's a it's a national scourage, it's an epidemic. Seventy

thousand plus people, you're dying. But but but all the drugs are coming through ports of entry, so a fence doesn't matter. I mean, I just my response to my initial response is, first of all, we should do whatever we can to make it harder for the cartels in general to do what they're doing, including the fencing. So anything that raises the cost of doing business and raises their failure it is good mine or just to know

what they're talking about. The reason I can say that is I saw with my own eyes because I personally handled pieces where people, Yes, sometimes they through three ports of entry, other times they try to sneak it across other ways. So give an example, we had a case involving about three hundred pounds of marijuana that was being stuck across the river of you know, over a private Leo Ranch. Obviously that's not a ports of entry, and that's uh, you know, quite a lot of marijuana coming across.

Or another example, the Mexican cartels abducted a guy at the bus station Laredo and after they beat him a little, they dragged him to the border, held a gun to his head after and put drugs on him and told him to cross the river into America. So the people who are saying that they only you know that comes across the ports of entry, that's as false. Now, we probably catch a lot coming in reports of entry, and that's because that's where the law enforcement has said off.

That's what I keep saying to people. We don't catch a truck that goes over the border that no one sees exactly it's fresh. I mean, no one knows exactly what's coming over. We have some guesses and estimates. But the fact that people are making cleans about you know what we you can't detect, that's just ridiculous. What do you think about the presidents as somebody who was down there and actually worked on this onboard of security in a professional fashion, what do you think about the President's

proposal from this past weekend? Pretty on the security side. Forget about doctor pretty good to the Democrats. It is extremely generous and if under any other circumstances any other president, they'd have jumped on in a heartbeat. In fact, that some deal I would normally have expected a Democrat to offer to the Republicans. Do you get the deal through?

I mean, it's it's for everything that they've asked for, and then some of you know, I just cannot believe that politics are so polarized that they're just not going for something that's such a good deal, not just for the Democrats, but it's good deal for America. Though. Do you have that sense directed When were you down there by the way, and what was the roughly speaking, you know, day in and day out, how many illegals were crossing in your sector? Sure, so I was sounder in twenty eighteen.

My deployment ran from July three December, so six months you were just down there's a tdy, Oh yeah, got that got home for my deployment a few weeks ago, and any given day I was prosecuting seventy five to two hundred people for illegally and three in America the prior day. But here's the real catch. We think we're actually only one in three people coming across illegally. Again, we don't know what we don't catch, but that's our

best estiment is rolling catchy one in three. So that meant any given day we're having anywhere from maybe two hundred and fifty two over six hundred people you're easily crossing the border in my sector alone. My sector is just a scratch maybe eight percent of the border. If that much, this is fascinating. I mean, you had a

one in three catch rate. You know. San Diego sector thinks that they have a nine out of ten catch right now because they have full fencing along their entire sixteen mile quarter except for a part of it that is very rugged. I mean, the terrain is hellish to try to get through geta and there are some places where a fencer physical barry doesn't make sense because of the terrain. But where it does make sense, let's put

up and here's here's the other part. If we just have a ten percent increase in catches across the border overall over a ten year period, that's one point two million people that would be started from entering. That's an a sense where it's only ten percent effectiveness. Can you tell me one thing I don't know what is So you are a special a federal special prosecutor at the border at how does that work? What is that? I've

never heard of that before? So well at the boarders to us of a description nothing official special prosecutor is well as a special assistant US attorney as a see just in a USA assistant US attorney. The difference, especially a special prosecutor or a special assistant US attorney justings you're not a regular member of that office, so as your listeners may recall. In April twenty eighteen, just Sessions announced zero tolerance raw cases of illegal entry into Mario

would be prosecuted. Now that the reason that was a big deals because previously, although entering the USA legally was a it was rarely prosecuted. Instead of being handled by the Justice Department as a criminal matters, people are just deported under catch and release to say okay, we catch you coming over and here's your ticket to appear in immigration court. In over ninety percent never showed up. So they announced the walls on the books. Doesn't matter if

you agree or disagree with it. The walls on the books we're going to enforce it and prosecute people. Now that sounds great, it's good common sense, but look, it's not what makes sense. It's what your logistics allow. And the Justice Department didn't have enough people to prosecute. For example, in my area at this nance, say of two to twelve new cases to be prostituted every day, it was sometimes over one hundred or two hundred. So Matthew, matt,

this is fascinating. Can we get a quick break and come back? I got a couple more questions I really want to ask you. Can you give us a few more minutes? Absolutely? All right. We're talking to Matt Pinsker about his piece up on National Review Walls work. Just asking this community college on the southern border. We're coing a covering a lot of terrain here. We'll be right back. You're probably familiar with the AARP. It's a really well known organization. But what's not nearly as well known is

that the aarps pretty left wing. They fought tooth and nail for a government run healthcare system, and they wanted the passage of Obamacare. So that's why I recommend AMAC. Okay, try AMAC instead of AARP. AMAC was founded by an Air Force veteran and supports conservative causes across the board. Over one point five million Americans have already joined AMAC.

That number is growing and they're getting all the benefits that you'd expect from an organization like this, including discounts on insurance, hotels, roadside assistants, dental plans, all kinds of good stuff. And they know AMAC is standing for freedom and the America that you want. So try the conservative alternative here. Become a member of AMAC today. The benefits are great, the cause is even greater. Join right now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's AMAC dot us

slash buck. All right, So we're back with Matt Pinsker here talking about his piece and National Review. He was just back in twenty eighteen a special federal special prosecutor acting as an AUSA, but he was down at the part of the Texas border. Matt, you know, you've touched on so many things here, and I just was with San Diego Border Patrol last week. So this is an area of heightened interest for me, and obviously it's why we got the shutdown. Right now, soever, everyone's curious about

this stuff. I've only got a few minutes. A few things I want to ask you about, though. One is you mentioned prosecutorial resources. I asked Border Patrol this, and

I think it's fascinating the answer they gave me. I said, wait a second, if you have, as they do, people in their thirties claiming to be teenagers so that they can be considered an unaccompanied minor, that's actually happened there isn't that Or people claiming that a kid is theirs when the kid is not actually a family member, aren't they covered under one zero zero one? Isn't that lying to a federal official about government business that matters or not? Well?

At once I had to double check the code. That can't go off the top of my head on that one, but I can't sit is that, Yes, it is a little crime to why to federal law enforcement. However, we never prosecuted anyone for that because we didn't have the resources. And again, if people didn't enter guilty police, then we

might have done that. But generally everyone, you know, cases are open and shut once they realize they're busted, and we just letting go this way, If everyone who we could charge with a felony was charged with the felony, the sired system would grind to a halt. We just couldn't do it. I mean, that's why the Army I was, I'm an Army judge as getting the Army reserves and

as assigned to the Justice Department. That's why I have a special prosecutors you know, soone from outside the normal office, just to help with the work overflow and the overload. While they could hire some more people, but even then the numbers are so overwhelming, so crushing. That's about for every for every case we did prosecute as a felony, they're over a hundred that we just did into We chose not to for lack of resources. We wanted to.

And the prosecutors I work where they were outstanding top of the why law enforcement or greats. They're dedicated. But we're just so overwhelmed and overworked that we actually cut deals like that offer misdemeanors instead of felonies. Were else in the country people get toelonies, but we had to do misseenors. Absolutely offered. So this is fascinating. I want to also ask you. I asked and they this was you know, off the record, a non attribution and effect,

but I did ask some border patrol guys. I said, look, you guys are telling me numbers here, like last year, one hundred thousand roughly I think it was ninety six thousand is the actual number. But it's close to one hundred thousand family units showed up at the border. Less

than one percent of them have been deported. Okay, So that means that one hundred thousand roughly family units, which has got to be a couple hundred thousand people just got into the country and are going to stay, not show up for their hearings, adding to the illegal population.

I asked Border patrol, the guys who've been doing this for some of them fifteen or twenty years, said, do you believe the number is still eleven million after all this time, given what you're telling me and what's going on year in year out, do you believe the nubers eleven million? They laughed and said, absolutely not, but no one wants to hear that. What do you think, Oh, I agree hundred percent. You know, seeing the numbers, it

just doesn't make sense that it's only eleven million. I mean, we've been told it's eleven million for twenty years now. It has to be much higher than that. I think that studies. Yeah, they said twenty to by the way, they said twenty to thirty is what they would guess, and I said, okay, that's that sounds about right. Twenty to me sounds about right. And I think they're right as well. It's unfortunate and people are saying this doesn't exist,

isn't a problem, but they're wrong. Yeah it does. I say, as someone who literally lived on the border, worked from border security, personally prosecuted cases. I hate hearing politicians and DC saying that we're making the suffer, we're inventing it. But the entire time I was down there, not a single congressman sat in the courtroom where I was prosecuting over one hundred cases a day. Do they not care?

Do they not want to know? I mean, if a military commander, they didn't get out there in the field, they inspect their troops, they participate in feel operations. Yet you have the bureaucrats and politicstans DC they even bother to make the trip. That's what really sickens me that it's astonishing. Man. Well, look, I so appreciate Matt getting your perspective. I didn't I really liked your peace on

what happened at Laredo Community College. I didn't even realize that you had been down there in this past year in so that just you know, the fresh perspective what's going on is so very helpful. Um, thank you first of all, thank you for your service, and thank you so much for joining us here on the show. Was really really instructive. Thank you so much for having me appreciate depth you need to share. So nashreview dot com folks, where you want to check out his pete. I mean,

I really enjoyed talking to Matt about this stuff. This is just what I keep you know, everyone that I talked to who knows stuff and I spent I had. I had a pretty you know, really in depth call today with more sources and immigrations to the customs Enforcement. I'm trying to get a piece out on Monday in Hill. I'm already working the research. I want the facts out there. I want people to know what's really going on. Every person who knows the issue in the government, outside of government,

they all say the same things. We are being scammed, the system is overwhelmed. The numbers are way higher than anybody realizes. We don't know how many drugs are coming in. We don't know how many legals are coming in. We know that, you know, the border resources are stretched thin right now. And yet you know, you churn on CNN or you churn on ABC News and they're like, Oh, is the border really a crisis? Yes, you imbecults, there's

a crisis at the border. I mean, I just I kind of get the silliest sometimes I talk to people about this. Now, they really think that this is a tenable situation. We got hundreds of thousands of people at a minimum coming into the country illegally, now hundreds of thousands last year alone. I mean, you know, what are we We're supposed to pretend it's not happening. Yes, that's what the media wants us to do. When I see the Make America a Great Again hat now, Chris, I

am triggered. I'm so triggered. Andre. I think in a lot of ways our friendship has been compromised by the fact that you continue to support this man. The one thing I will say to you, to be absolutely fair, is, more than anybody else that I know on this network, you will regularly take Donald Trump's to task. I don't agree with you on this last point, but this make America Great Again hat is just as maddening and frustrating

and triggering for me to look at as a KKK hood. Wow, that's a CNN commentator letting you know what passes for political insight and commentary over there, the formerly renowned CNN, the network for news coverage, and they're putting people in the air who say that wearing a make America Great Again hat is like looking at a KKK hood. I mean, this is really why stop there? Why don't you say it's just as bad as a Nazi swastica, which is I think a lot of liberals would say that. I

don't think that they would shy away from that. But when you understand that context about our national discussion right now, over all these different issues, it really does make quite a bit of sense, doesn't it. You know, when you see how much they really do, truly and utterly hate the opposition. They don't disagree, they don't want to win us to their side. They just actively hate Trump and all those who support him. This is why they have

all the fake news. What we're gonna go due to a whole whole fake news rundown in the next segment that's going to come t the top ten biggest fake news stories are going to be coming your way. It's a great, great time. We're gonna have some fun with that one. But to say that the AMaGA had is like a KKK hood. It's it's a dumb and nasty thing to say, but I think it's important that we hear it because people do believe this. You also had Hakim Jeffries who had this to say about the President

of the United States play thirteen. We have a headter in the White House, the Grand Wizard of sixteen Jim Crow maybe dead, he's still got some leads and Grand Wizard that's a sitting member of Congress who's sang that. You have a sitting member of Congress who was referring to the President of the United States as the Grand Wizard, the KKK leader of the White House and saying that while Jim Crow is dead, he has essentially or while Jim Crow is gone, you know, there are relatives of

Jim Crow who are still in place. And it's such a horrible thing to say, and you and I might obviously want to just push that aside and ignore it and say, oh, you know, they're idiots who say things all the time. And you know we can't we can't get too deep into all the stupid things. If we if we took it upon ourselves to repudiate the dumb things that are said on CNN on a regular basis, that's all we would do. We just spend all day

being like, no, no, wrong, false, stupid, untrue. But I do think it's something we have to take note of that there are going to be people, lots of them, who hear a congressman saying that Trump is the grand Wizard of the KKK. To hear a CNN contributors say or CNN whatever panelists pundit that malga hats are like KKK hoods. This is really destructive, it's wildly inappropriate, it's deeply disingenuous. And yet this is this is what they will do. But then I have to note that there

are just there. There are sometimes when I look and I see what's happening with the Catholic Church on a lot of issues recently, but on this one in particular of the Covington Catholic schoolboys, and you know, there's this guy who goes on CNN father Edward Beck, and I've never heard of this guy before. Apparently he's a Catholic priest, and he said the following on CNN play clip seven.

The students acted inappropriately. I was raised at a time when we were taught respect your elders with regard the hats. The hats that they were wearing. The song called Maga hats or make American Great hats come with a certain political agenda that, in my opinion, can be seen as anti Catholic, anti Christian, because abortion is not the only

pro life issue. What about immigration and the migrants, what about capital punishment, what about the environment and climate change, and so by wearing that hat, it's saying that you're aligning yourself with the political agenda. The students had no right to be wearing that hat were a school hat. And look, I know there are some there are some great There are obviously lots of great priests out there too, in the Catholic Church and lots of different Christian denominations.

But I don't understand how you can have these Catholic priests and he noticed that they'd like to do this. Let to skip over, well, I mean, being pro life is not no. Actually, if you're a Catholic priest, you don't get to skip over that one. You don't get

to say. You know what, let's ignore, let's ignore the fact that New York State, too uproarious applause, just made it entirely legal to abort a baby at six months, which is well passed the viability phase, or at nine months if a medical professional deems it to be in the interest of the mother. New York State just passed a statue saying that abortion all nine months of her pregnancy, which is which is just utterly barbaric and it's murder

and this is insane. And when they passed this one, I would note in the New York State Assembly there were cheer. There was cheering and clapping because you know, this is such a huge breakthrough for women's rights. This is one of these issues where also even if even if I'm not able to help sway, although I do think we have a duty and an obligation to sway

as many people as we can on this. But even if we don't win, the sense of the Supreme Court doesn't come our way on this anytime soon, or we're right, and that is what matters. And the people who are on the wrong side of this one are going to have to always live with the consequences of that, and I actually feel sorry for them. But for a Catholic priest to come out and be like, yeah, let's skip over, let's skip over the life issue and let's worry about

climate change just goes to show you. I mean, these guys are now, these guys are activists in a Roman collar. They are progressive, left wing activists. For anyone to be in the Catholic Church and see these videos and see what happened with these kids and have a problem with the kids, never mind to say that a maga had is anti Catholic. You know what the heck is wrong with some of these priests. It really, it obviously really

annoys me. Although I will say that this guy known as the Bishop of the Internet, Bishop Robert Baron, who has one point five million likes on Facebook, said that the criticism of the of the Kentucky Covington Catholic High School was quote satanic, So at least Bishop Robert Baron

was making some sense on this one. But I just see this, this reaction, and I hate this when the forces of anti religious bigotry when the forces of pro abortion extremism just bring these priests on TV to use them as a kind of trojan horse against their own side and to say, oh, well, you know, the right and Republicans here, what about migrants, And what about the migrants are breaking the law and they're effectively if they're in the country illegally stealing property from people. Stealing is

not not biblical, not okay, they are stealing. They are accessing benefits that they do not have the right too. Oh it too catholic? Ah, I really, I don't know. And don't even get me started on some of these Jesuits. Some of them are great, but some of them are just and I know Jesuits, some of them are just awful, awful on the politics. I don't know what their problem is. All right, we'll be right back. People admitted they made

snap judgments before these other facts came in. But isn't that we just instantly say that's what it is based on what we see in that moment, and then have to walk stuff back when it turns out we're wrong. Why is that? Why do we keep making the same mistake? Because because we're desperate to get Trump out of office. You know, sometimes Joy beiha, because with desperate to get Trump out of office. You know, sometimes she really she

really does speak the truth. I don't think she means too, but it kind of comes out of her mouth anyway. Because we're desperate to get Trump out. That is true. That is why you have had not just the Covington debacle. I mean, this really brings it all together, the Covington media coverage debacle, the BuzzFeed debacle. In fact, there's a very good piece and you know, look Glenn Greenwald buyer beware.

I mean, Glenn Greenwald is somebody who some of his stuff you go, wow, that's he's taking a stance that's gonna be really unpopular with the left and he's gonna take a lot of a lot of heat from it. But he's right. And other stuff you're like, oh my gosh, he's just he's just completely excusing. You know, he's making excuses for terrorists. I mean, he's you know, you don't

always know what you're gonna get with him. You know, you don't always know what the you know, what the circumstances are of what you're gonna get from Glenn Greenwell that's for sure. Some things he's terrible and some things he's actually really good. I don't know what else to say. But he has a piece on The Intercept, which is a very left wing site that again I'm telling you you can't trust some of the stuff that's up there. It's very agenda driven. But it's the ten and I

should dig into this for a little bit tomorrow. It's the ten biggest media disasters in terms of Russia collusion reporting, and it's a really solid read because he lays them out. I know some others have done this too, but he lays them out, and you see that there's just no way to explain the giant egg on face disasters that have happened from these major media outlets that here the piece here, I just want to pull it up for the ten most embarrassing worst US media failures on the

Trump Russia's story. Number ten that rt hacked into and took over c Span. Okay, so you had fortune claimed that Russia today hacked it, it took over c Span, which is pretty pretty astonishing, and it turns out C Span was not hacked. Number nine Russian hackers invaded the US. I remember the story US electricity grid to deny Vermonter's heat during the winter. The Washington Post ran with that. It turned out that there was just some malware that was at a facility and a Vermont power plant had

nothing to do with Russia or the electric grid. I mean, this is like it was just a tote on. The Washington Post ran with that completely utterly nonsensical story, but they went with it. Number eight, a new deranged anonymous group declare's mainstream political sights on the left and right to be Russian propaganda outlets, and Washington Post outs its report to claim massive Kremlin infiltration of the Internet. This

story I remember very well. It was about the more than two hundred websites peddling Russian propaganda with a quote combined audience of at least fifteen million, and they were viewed two hundred and thirteen million times. They say, unfortunately,

this is from the intercept piece. Those statistics were provided by a new anonymous group that reached those conclusions by classifying long, long time well known sites from the Drudge Report to truth Out and Naked Capitalism, as well as libertarian venues such as antiwar dot com and the Ron

Paul Institute as Russian propaganda outlets. They just basically saw somebody online posted a story and this was The Washington Post published it saying that two hundred and thirteen million million views of Russian propaganda during the election, based on yeah prop or NOTTS monitoring report which was provided the Washington Post. They didn't know what who proper not was. They had no idea as people were. It's just it's just not It was just a complete It was fake news.

This is fake news. We might as well call it what it is. Number seven. I mean, this is delicious, isn't It's amazing when you get down to it. Trump aid Anthony Scaramucci is involved a much is involved in a Russian hedge fund under senate investigation. That was July. The whole thing was a lie. CNN retracted the story and forced three reporters who published it to resign, effectively fired three of their reporters because it was such a

grotesque editorial debacle. Number six Russia attacked US diplomats at the Cuban embassy using a super sophisticated sonic microwave. NBC News MSNBC all the we're publishing on the neurological. I remember people asking me about this, what do you think of the neurological brain injury thing? And I was like, I don't know. I mean, it sounds bad, but I you know, I'm not aware of any special brain injury wave weapon that anybody was working on when I was

in government. Turns out that that story they believe now was crickets. A very loud cricket. The Indies short tailed cricket was making so much noise that it hurts some people's hearing and gave them headaches. That was reported recently in the New York Times. The sounds that haunted US diplomats in Cuba crickets, according to scientists. Okay, but it was a Russian plot. Number five Trump created a secret Internet server to covertly communicate with a Russian bank. Slate

published that false. Totally false. Hillary Clinton, by the way, from her official account, shared that piece do you want me to keep going? Aren't these amazing? Number four Paul Manafort visited Julian Osange three times in the Ecuadorian embassy. The Guardian reported on that that's just laughable, laughable. There's no way that anybody would be able to go visit Julian Assange without security services knowing about it, without am I five knowing about it, without London or you know whatever,

Metropolitan police as well as journalists. But that was a bombshell that was just published in November. This is amazing. I got a couple more here. Number three, CNN explicitly lied about Lanny Davis being its source for a story whose substance was also false, that Cohen would testify that Trump knew in advance about the Trump Tower meeting. All lie and they lied about who the source was to protect him and he had lied. Let's see it was

number two. Robert Muller possesses internal emails and witness interviews proving Trump directed Cohen to lie to Congress. That was the BuzzFeed story. Well, I thought that would be number one. What do we have for number one? Now, I'm really curious. What's gonna be done at a drum roll? Number one? Here it comes. Donald Trump Junior was offered, oh yeah, this is a good one, offered advanced access to the wiki leaks, email archives. CNN and MSNBC reported on that.

I mean, I'm sorry, I know I went through that whole list, folks, but that's an amazing list. Of those are all fake news stories from the biggest news outlets in the country CNN, NBC, MSNBC, New York Times, Washington Post, fake news like crazy. And you know why they did it. You know why it's happening. Joy Behart told us all because we hate Trump so much. We have to get rid of him. We have to find a way to get this president out. If that means lying to people,

will do it. So there you have it, fake news extravaganza, and at least Joy Behar will tell us why there is in fact a fake news extravaganza. I think it's rather important that we get these details. We've got more coming up. Teams, stay with me. The Supreme Court is going to review a very very important case when it comes to the Second Amendment. This is the first real Second Amendment case that will have been heard in ten years by Scotus as the cool kids call it. But

they just agreed on Tuesday to hear this. And it's something that is near and dear to my heart, which is the gun law in New York City. I mean some of the laws regarding guns in New York City, specifically whether you can take a handgun. I mean, this is crazy. For those of you who live in states that actually believe in the Second Amendment, you're going to say, or maybe you'll say, Buck, come on, that you must have this one wrong. No, No, it turns out that

this is the case. You can have what's called a premise permit in New York City for a handgun now, and I know people who have gone through this process. I refuse to go through it because it is I

don't live there anymore. But also it is so onerous, expensive, annoying, and there are crazy restrictions on it, like, for example, the NYPD has the right now, they don't do this all the time, and that's what they always say, Well, we won't do that to you unless we have a reason, And they say, it's so we can stop people if there's a if there's a domestic violence complainer, if we have some issue, and you know, we have a little more leverage, we can go and do a well visit.

Based on your ownership of it registered and legal ownership of a firearm, they can come to your premise for an inspection of how you maintain that firearm. Now, you may be saying, Buck, what does that mean, well, in New York City, if you have what's called a premise permit, which is a permit just to have the handgun in your home, it's certainly not a concealed or open carry, and there are extreme limitations on where you can even

take it in the city. But in New York, if you are on the list people that owns a gun, they can come and want to see your storage of that gun. The police can without a warrant, And the storage of a handgun has to be get ready for this gun with a trigger lock on it in a locked box, with ammunition stored separately, also in a locked box. So I am not exaggerating when I tell you that Second Amendment rights in New York City mean that if you hear a bump in the night or your window

panes get crashed by a prowler or whatever. Prowler, oh, a prowler. But if that were to happen, you would have three locks to go through, and I think they have to be combination locks and not key locks, but I'm not sure if that stipulation. I think though it has to be combination locks. You have three locks to go through before you could have a chambered round in your legally owned firearm. Think about that one for a moment. Okay, you're like, hold on, a second burglar, what You're gonna

throw your lockbox at him? Where I'm not ready yet? Hold on. So the part of this law, though, that's being challenged, is that in New York City, once you have gotten your premise. By the way, for those of you who are like Buck, we don't care about New

York this the national implications are going to come from US. Okay, So wherever you live, I think reading into this, your Second Amendment rights could be I'm hoping very positively affected by this one, or at least those of you who live in gun restrictive states will be positively affected by this. In New York City, the NYPD does not allow you. It is illegal to take your legally owned handgun outside

of the city of city limits. It's effectively a premise permit only for your premise that is registered with the police Department in New York. So let's say you have, you know, a second home or you know, let's say you want to go visit Grandpa and you want to take your gun to the range up. You know, my grandparents had had a home in Hudson Valley for many, many years, right, which is about two hours where they

were about two hours north of New York. You know, if you want to go up and visit family and bring your legal firearm, you're in the same state, but you are not allowed to take your legally owned firearm or handgun. It's different for handguns and shotguns, but you cannot take your handgun outside of the city. You are not allowed to take it outside of this thing. I think this makes a stipulation between handguns and shotguns. Again.

The laws are so complicated about the Second Amendment or the destruction of it in New York City that I have spoken to police officers and even they get confused about I've spoken to detectives with many, many years in the job. They're like, yeah, I think you might be able to get a hunting exception to the premise permit. You know, there's all this other stuma. What am I gonna go? You know, you're gonna go take a nine millimeter and go squirrel hunting. I mean, I know some

of you are like, yeah, Buck, that's great. You know, I think that that's generally not what people are hunting with. But here's why the Supreme Court's taking this up. And it's a good thing that they are, because in dcv. Heller, it was established that the right to bear arms includes

the right to bear arms in the home. And what that meant was that at the time or what brought this up, there was a guy who was licensed to carry a firearm as a security guard, and he couldn't bring his gun home with him, even though he was licensed to own and operate that weapon, but only at work. Had to leave it in like a locked box and locked locker, couldn't bring it home with him, and he

wanted to bring it home. You know, why, why is he Why is this guy banned from having a gun at his home when he's allowed to carry a gun for his job. And the Supreme Court said, sorry, the right to bear arms includes the right to bear arms in common usage in your home. The part of this that has not been dealt with yet, as many of you I'm sure already know, is what about all these prohibitions on the transporting of a firearm or all these

prohibitions on the carrying of a firearm. You know, in New York, the way they have it set up, you can only transport in a lockbox your legally owned firearm to one of I think seven different ranges in the New York City area. Yeah, it's only handguns. By the way, I was right about that. It's only handguns that are unloaded and locked. And this is just this is just

anti gun animist. It makes no sense. How is it a safety issue for you if you're allowed to have the gun in New York City and it's in a lockbox and it's in the because that's the way it's supposed to be transported. How is it a safety issue for you to take that gun with you to you know, Westchester or upstate New York. You know, go visit a friend in Syracuse. The state government has no problem with it, So why should the city government have a problem with it.

Isn't this an un do restriction? Um. It also means, by the way, that if somebody breaks into your home, and this is brought up, I believe in the in the initial brief that you know, there's the possibility of the firearm being stolen, so it's it's safer probably to have it with you in the lock box and it is just leaving your home. Although we could argue about that. But the case the Supreme Court is going to hear

this case next term. I think you could get a pretty sweeping, a pretty sweeping decision that you know, if if you legally own a firearm, that means the right to legally transport the firearm to any place you are entitled to have it within the state where you are. This also then raises and I don't know how this will fact. So they're going to strike down this New

York prohibition is idiocy. It is idiocy. Okay, it's been and you know, unfortunately the you know in the Bloomberg Are, in particular, the anti gun animus and the anti gun selts were just running amuck. But this could mean that, for the first time in a decade, the Supreme Court is going to rule in a way that affects gun rights more broadly, and it could get into state reciprocity perhaps, I mean, I don't think that'll come up in this case, but that's what's on the horizon. Why should a state,

I mean, this is a constitutionally protected right. If you're illegal to have a gun in Florida, how is it okay for you not to be legal to have a gun in Georgia. This is a federal constitutional right right, just like voting. You know, they like to play this game, but they act like it's not the Constitution. This actually is unlike a lot of things liberals talked on the Constitution. And the other part of this is also maybe it clears the way for some clarity on open and or

concealed carry and what that will mean. But being able to transport your firearm within this state where you legally own it without possibly running foul the cops. Supreme Court's taken this one on and it's going to be a big Second Amendment case for the next term, so keep an eye off for that one.

We're making progress in negotiating on the grandest scale between the two countries. Ever, Okay, we're covering everything technology, theft IP, forced transfers, family jewels, cyber intervention, commodities, industrial supplies, financial services, ownership.

Nothing like this has ever been undertaken. This is good. Negotiations are good. That was Larry Cudlow, Senior Economic Advisor to the President, talking about what's going on with China. I got into this a little bit yesterday, but I wanted to add some detail and bring in somebody with particular expertise on this subject. So we got our friend

Derek Scissors back in action. He's a residence scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on the Chinese and Indian economies and on US economic relations with Asia. He's also the chief economists of the China Beige Book. Derek, could have you back, try to be back all right, So, how are we doing right? Yesterday? I just got into a little bit of how Chinese economy is actually quite

a slowdown right now. There's been some talk of maybe relieving some of the tariffs from the UF side of the US side of things. There's some indications, at least in the White House there's progress. But I want you to just give it to a straight Derek. How we doing in our trade forward with China? Well, let's start with the negotiations. The negotiations are purely political, and what I mean by that is we're not going to get anything of any value from the Chinese before March first.

It's impossible, right, it's almost the end of January. We're talking about huge purchases if they do that, and huge changes in the way they do business if they do that. So what we're going to get from the Chinese is a bunch of IOUs. Their track record on these is poor in my opinion, and the President is going to have to make a political decision. Do I think they're going to keep most of their promises? They're not going to keep all of them not on the table. Do

I think they're going to keep most of them? And it's completely going to be on the basis of what he thinks their credibility is. That's why I say it's a political decision because nothing will happen economically between now and then now in terms of go ahead, go ahead, sorry, In terms of the economies, I don't think the trade war means that much to either economy. We've got a shutdown going on in the US, You've got a very strong American labor market according to the last Labor report.

Those are the kinds of things that matter in the United States. And in China they've mishandled their banking system and that's what's hurting their growth. Yeah. I was gonna ask you that. Why is China? They're the biggest slowdown since the nineties, right, So people look at that end, well, that's that's significant for them. Yeah, I mean that was coming anyway. Basically, you know, people get impatient with economics, but but big economies like ours and like the Chinese,

move slowly. The Chinese barrowd a ton of money to get past the global financial crisis. They didn't get anything useful out of that money. And so when you run up a lot of debt, which unfortunately we're also doing here, your economy tends to slowdown because you're not you've you've wasted money. You're not get any productive uset of that money. They also change their lending policies to focus more on

state banks lending because it's safer. It is safer, but state banks don't know how to lend the high risk, high reward customers because they've never had to do that because they're still owned. And that means China's getting less growth out of it. So it's a it's a long term credit problem and a short term credit problem. That's

where by their economy is slowing down. What are the chances in your mind that there is some kind of a breakthrough here though, I mean, little Larry could Low right before we brought you on, we played we played his sound bite where he's saying, look, you know, we're covering all these different things, intellectual property theft, and you

know what do you what do you think. I mean, is there any is there any reason for optimism that there'll be real progress on this stuff or is it just going to kind of continue in this It feels kind of like a stalemate. Yeah, I think the steemate is much more likely. Again, the President is going to have to decide if he wants to say I'm trying this deal, and then I would like him to be

very cautious about it. That's not really his style. I'd like him be very cautious about it because I've seen other people hype deals with the Chinese and hasn't worked out that well. If you're a farmer, if you're selling energy to China, if you're bowing, I think you got a good chance of having a good year in twenty nineteen or into two twenty even because I think we are going to sell more to China if we make

a deal. If you're hoping that China doesn't steal your trade secrets and that's not just advanced technology, that's just what your company does, and or if you're a worker in a company that has trade secrets that are at risk from the Chinese, that would hurt the company's competitiveness and hurt your salary and your job. I don't think you're going to get anything out of this. It's part of China's economic model to take things from other people.

That's been true for a while. So if you're selling to China, great, If you're trying to compete with China, I'm afraid status quo is the most likely outcome now. Also, just from a more general perspective, there's been this consensus that Trump is starting this, And I say consensus. You know, this is just what's magnified in the media. But they always say, oh, all the experts agree that Trump's trade

war is kind of not just fruitless but crazy. It sounds like from what you're telling me that well, even if it's not a good idea, it's not nearly people say trade war, and I think that the implication is often, well, trade wars lead to real wars. And you know, there's this this fear of what Trump is trying to do visa v. China. But even if it doesn't work, Am I right in hearing from you that this is not the looming catastrophe that people people have been told it is.

Or is that a misread? No? I think I think they're three things, three ways to talk about the trade dispute with China. One of them is negative and two of them are possitive. Let's start with the first one. We should be having a trade dispute with China. The President was right as a candidate and he's right as president that we have serious problems with China. You hear lots of people saying that, but they never did anything

about it. So you know, when I hear one of my colleagues here or a politicians say, well, you know, I obviously China is not a great trade partner, but I don't like the president way President's doing things, I'm like, okay, that's fair, what would you do. A lot of them don't have anything. They say nothing, we got real problems with China, but they don't want to do anything about it. So President gets credit on that score. The second point

is the point that you brought up. If you talk about how the trade at tensions are impact in the United States, it's just not very big. Um. You get business, you know, groups who are anti trade war, they'll say, oh, you know, we lost twenty billion dollars last year to the trade conflict. All right, that's not nothing. Don't get me wrong. US GDP last year was twenty trillion, so

that's a thousand times more. We're not, you know, we're losing one tenth of one percent of annual economic activity, engaging in a conflict we should have engaged in ten years ago. So those are the two things where you know, the President has been right and the media has been wrong, and exactly you know President is right that we need to confront the Chinese. The media has been wrong in uh in saying this is a disaster for the United

States because it's not true. And then there was also I think a negative that you're going to throw in the Still I don't like terroris and I get Matthew emails about this whenever I say it. But look what I want to do is I want to target the Chinese companies who get the most subsidies, because the subsidies block American competition with those companies. It makes for the

famous unlevel playing field, unfair trade. That's Chinese subsidies. I want to target those Chinese companies that have received stolen intellectual property. In other words, I want to target the ones who are doing illegal and harmful things. But tariffs target everybody. When we put a tariff, we put a tariff on everybody who makes this product coming into the US, including a foreign company based in China, including American consumers who buy the product. So you know, that's where I

think the President made a mistake. I understand why I did it politically, but I think we're punishing everyone in China trade. There are a lot of Chinese companies that should be punished, but we're going beyond that, and I think that's where the downside. This might be a bit of an elementary question, but I don't know, and I want to know. Are we able to discern who is receiving state subsidies in China? Is that something that we

have visibility into. Yes, Now are we able to do a perfect job of it or know exactly who's received stolen trade secrets? No, but we do have. Hey, these are the most heavily subsidized companies. We know that. Hey, these are examples of companies that receive trade secrets. You know, if you're asking me for a perfect list, we cannot

put together a perfect list. If you're asking me if we can target major, important, large Chinese companies and say, you guys are guilty either receiving subsidies which make it impossible to compete, or about right theft, which is worse. Yeah, we can do that, and that's where I would have started. And what you know, what you get there is, of course the Chinese will try to play a shell game and change the companies around who are getting the subsidies

or who are receiving the stolen ip. But at least you're scaring them off the thing that they shouldn't be doing if you put tariffs on anyone. If I'm a Chinese company that never stole IP and I get a tariff anyway, I'm like, well, I might as well steal right. I mean, I'm getting punished for all the people who did it. Why don't I start doing it. I'm already getting hurt by the tariffs. So I think the tariffs and the wrong incentives and our partial list of who's

guilty in China would create the right incentives. Derek scissars everybody, and I mean, this is the best way, Derek, you actually managed to make trade really interesting. I appreciate that, Derek Scissors of AI. Everybody check out of stuff at AI dot org. Derek really appreciate it man, glad to be on team. Will be right back now. It is very rare for me to watch the same topic for

a documentary twice. But I have to tell you I liked the Fire Festival documentary on Netflix so much that I went ahead and watched the Fire Festival documentary on Hulu. And I find out as I'm sitting here talking to you folks that my main man, Brandon DJ Brandon, has also at least gone about what Brandon halfway through yeah documentary after talking about yesterday, I'm like, what you said, Why do I want to watch the same documentary twice? But because you said it was better it was different,

I gave it a chance than I fell asleep. But I'll finish it to night. What do you think It is a little different, right, It gives you a little more of the backstory, more of the backstory. Of course, they talk to the main guy, Billy, who does get paid, which I think is kind of weird because yeah, but they gave they got him to do an interview, and you just see what a shady, compulsive liar this guy

is in real time in the interview. It's pretty amazing, it is all he is kind of broken a little bit so that, but he deserves it for what he did. But they give more of a background into the whole millennial thing and how influential, uh, some people could be for Instagram and things like that. Yeah, it's amazing. Well, I like some of the analysis, and this is what for the folks listening who were like, buck stop talking

about fire festival. Although I'm telling you, if you watch the documentary on Netflix or Hulu, you're gonna be it's gonna suck you in. The r Kelly documentary A Lifetime was also really good. I know I mentioned that, but that's really pretty depressing and pretty soul crushing that there's somebody who could be so evil and get away with it for so long in this country. It's pretty remarkable.

But it is worth watching this one. Though. You come away from you just do you think to yourself, you know, we're the first Brandon. I mean, you're you're young, you're quite a bit younger than I am, but we're the first generation, roughly speaking, that has had this notion of the the social media life or the instagrammable life out there. And I really do think that it affects people's perceptions of themselves and what they want and what they should have.

You know, now, it's like everyone and they talk about this in documentary. Everybody's seeing people who are in their twenties looking amazing, and you know all it even puts on Instagram as what rand and people on the beach, right, They're just everyone's on the beach drinking rose. People, people listening to this or like buck, I'm actually out buck hunting and like, I'm not at the beach, but you know what I mean, you're at the beach too. Sometimes,

Let's be honest everybody. You know. The point is people instagram the best moments of their life and create the perception that that is their life when that is not their life, right. I mean the people I know who are in the selfie game, and I look, I've done you know, I've taken with other people. Usually I'm trying to just do like random I know media people though, men and women who will just be like, hey, I'm on set, let me take a photo of myself and

post it. They do it all the time, and people like it. I don't know, Yeah, I don't think if you've got other people in the selfie I think, is that still a selfie, By the way, isn't it like a I remember somebody once said a photo of somebody else is called a ue. Um, but what if a selfie has more than one person? Shouldn't it be like a a delphie or something? You know what I mean? A two? Yeah? Two e. Yeah, it's just a picture. At a certain point, I can't keep up with the kids. Yeah,

I can't keep How old are you? I'm thirty five? I oh, you're like my age. I thought I thought you thirty. You have the bearing of a younger man. Thank you. By the way, Oh, you haven't seen it because we don't you know you're you're not you're not in studio with me right now. Um, I need to see because you're a man with a with a legit beard. I need you to tell me if you think if my beard is going in the right direction. You know, did you instagram it? Because I'm looking at it right now.

You have. I don't think it's I don't think it's up on Instagram or see if we're talking with Instagram life and I'm like, did you go on my Instagram? I just didn't. Yeah, and you have it's from five days ago. Your most recent one. No, that's not it's it's gotten a bit a bit because I just want to know if I look like a tool when I go on babe. You know that's really because you know you usually I have a three in one rule. If three people like something for every one person who doesn't,

you're usually in pretty good shape. But when it's fifty fifty, you know, when people like, look your haircut and it's like fifty fifty, that's probably a bad It's probably a bad mom. And this is a perfect example of the Instagram generation. Here we are two of us, two gray beard millennials. I'm actually I actually do have some gray in my bed. I saw that? Is that? Is that normal that my beard is gray before? Other things are gray? Yeah? I get them in weird places, like my sideburns. I

don't know why. So yeah, the gray is, it's there. It's just not coming in like a silver fox yet, so it just looks awkward. So yeah, I've got my first gray hair. I'm a beard. So now I really am a gray beard millennial. But here we are talking about Instagram and beards and photos. When you know there are clearly there are there are other important things in

life to be focused on. But the Fire Festival documentary does raise some various in questions about what social media is doing to all of us and what people value. And I will tell you that, you know, it's a tool like so many other things, and it can be great and it can be a real um really almost confine it. You can almost become a slave to social media. Because in my business now and Brandon, you have a podcast.

You know what I'm talking about. You know, you may not want to post something ten times a day, but the people that are competing with you for eyeballs for years, they're posting one hundred times a day. I know exactly what you're talking And there are some people in my business where I'm like, they're just shameless and they post every three seconds, and unless, like I post a little bit, I'm just not gonna You know, you know, you lose out. I mean, you lose out on opportunities, you lose out

on audience. So that's a long way of saying, uh, you know, check out this. Check out both Fire Festival documentaries. All right, roll calls coming up. It's time for roll call. Oh yes, it is the roll call party that we have all been waiting for Are you ready to rumbo oh? By the way, my mom, I should. I'm gonna steal this. I'm gonna post this on the Buck Sexton Facebook. My mom has a photo here of Tulula, the family frenchie. I just took a little screenshot of it in pink

polar fleece, walking the streets of NYC. I'm gonna have to I'm gonna have to share this one. I think you guys will realize that we have a very fashionable little frenchie in the Sexton family. And it also reminds me that I gotta get a dog. But I always feel like my family dog is my dog. She says, she's a little, a little love bunny. Okay, enough of that. I just saw that as I was looking for the Facebook page for the show, which I have now too. And with that we shall get into all things roll

call for your listening enjoyment. Like how I stretched these things out so I can actually load them up. Adam writes, black Panther was vibranium. You made my inner nerd cry shields high. That's right. Vibranium unobtanium is the very uncreative thing that they come up with for Avatar. That's the special substance that the greedy capitalists want in Avatar. Avatar is either fern Gully or Dances with Wolves, or both a ripoff of either or both of those, depending on

who you ask. It's definitely a ripoff of Dances with Wolves. I mean it's it's just so much of it is borrowed from Dances with Wolves. But Adam, you didn't tell me if you agree that I'm taking a bold stance in favor of all that is good in the arts by pointing out that Black Panther is just not a good movie, I would. I would offer to you it's not in the top five superhero movies of all time. And if we are talking about a movie with an a movie that is a superhero movie with an African

American lead, I would tell you that. And I really mean this. I think Blade with Wesley Snipes is a better overall movie than Black Panther. Blade is really entertaining and well done film. I thought it was great. I actually owned it on DVD when I was in college. So I think Blade is better than Black Panther. I know that that's that may be sacrilege to some people. But that's just where I come down on it. Timothy writes, Buck shields High. This Covington fiasco is a prima fashy case.

Prima fassy, how do prima fashy? You know, there's so many words that I learned from reading and that I haven't heard said necessarily. And then I realized, well, I know them from reading them, but I don't really know them from hearing them. It's a prema fashy case of why Dueling needs to be brought back. WHOA, Timothy, That's that's pretty intense. Bubba writes, Hey, Buck, I love the show. Haven't missed one in over two months, well until less yesterday.

I'm listening on podcasts with cast box. I thought it was fine, but all my other shows download of fine yours did not. Please hurry and fix it. I hope the Russians had nothing to do with it. I have to write a retraction. Never mind, We're good now, Okay, Bubba, Well, I'm glad that I'm glad that it wasn't on our end.

It makes me very sad when people can't listen to the show who want to listen to the show, so on podcast always let me know if there's if there's a problem, and thanks for keeping an eye on it and not missing a show in two months. You, sir, get a high five. Richard writes Buck, Happy Hoosiers from a Yankee man in Southern Land, speaking of your dogs in Mexico. Tail. One of the reasons I love John Wick is he didn't care if he took his car. He didn't care if you robbed him. But they killed

his dog. When they killed his dog, as Bugs Bunney would say, this means war, we meet on the battlefield. Except the guard outside the strip club was outside the club rather sorry, not serf club. Strip Club. Get your mind out of the gutter, Sexton. That was a nice touch shield till my friend Scott gets in on this party with the following. Dear Buck, regarding your Facebook post about Bill o'reiley giving you a hat tip on your column,

take a second and look back. Brother. You have been behind the golden microphone, impressed Glenn Beck enough to have a seat at the Blaze, have a show on the Hill, and actually had the forty two to say goodbye and put CNN in your rear view. Tucker is having you on his program frequently, and now Bill o'reiley gives you props, you know, Scott, I really appreciate that, man, Thank you. It's it's important for those of us who are in this crazy conservative media business to be appreciative of the

blessings and of the breakthroughs. And I really mean this, and those of you who have been with me for a long time know this. It's because of all of you who listen to this show. There were no guarantees that anybody would listen to me when I started doing radio. We could measure it digitally when I started the Saturday three hour show, and we could see that the first time I did it, we had people in the teens, meaning I had a few dozen that's right, a few

dozen listeners for my first couple of shows. But thanks to the Internet and the word of mouth from those initial fans, now we measure this show in the hundreds of thousands. I generally don't get too much into how many people listen, but we measure the show in the hundreds of thousands in terms of listeners. And I am hoping within the next two to three years to be measuring the show in the low millions. That's my plan.

But we are already in the hundreds of thousands of people who are listening to the show and getting getting up near that seven figure mark very close. So it's very meaningful, and it is really just a function the fact that the people that listen to this show appreciate what it is that I try to do and what I put into the show every day, and they know that a radio show is a special kind of media medium, a radio show is a special kind of platform. It

really is a movement. It really is a community of like minded individuals who come together. But thank you very much, Scott for your kind words. And it's been quite a ride. And you know, I have some people in my life, family and a couple of close friends, but mostly family who have pushed me on through some really difficult stuff along the way. And I've got to say I am very blessed. And it has been an incredible eight years so far. Alicia writes, I know you are friends with

se Cup. Have you addressed the fact that she was one of the first conservatives to jump on bashing the Covington High School kids and helping spread the false narrative. I can tell you, Alicia, that yeah, that is true. I am still to this day good friends with see Cup and I think she is a great lady, a great mom and friend, and she is just like the rest of us, not perfect. And she got this one wrong, as she has very publicly stated now she has done

a big mia culpa. She shouldn't have gone just based off of the video. And I think she got caught up in a little bit of the negativity she feels towards Trump and with those Maga hats. But I think you should also know that when it comes to gun rights, when it comes to being pro life, when it comes to limited government and low taxation, a lot of the issues that matters to you. See is a fierce defender

of those things. And she has to walk a very fine line over at CNN by being a conservative in the mix over there, all right, Next up in the queue here we have Jeff, who writes, Buck, do you have any recommendations for reading up on the attacks by Islamist forces that lead up to and prompted the start

of the First Crusade? Jeff Original Saturday Squad. You know, Jeff, the answer to that is to become familiar with Byzantine history or the history of the Eastern Roman Empire, because that is what we now think of as the Middle East was a large portion of it Christian and Christian until the Islamic forces came along and by sword or by eradication removed that Christianity. Places that we now think of, like Iraq and Syria and Lebanon, there were Christians there

before there were not, and certainly in Turkey. So that's what I would recommend you. I can't say that there's a book that comes to mind about the run up to that, because it usually takes the form of a Byzantine You know, if you learn Byzantine history, you'll learn the history. If you go to the end of the Byzantine Empire, you'll learn the history of the Islamic conquest. So that would be my best recommendation for you. There is a Crowley Roger Crowley book fourteen fifty three about

the Fall of Constantinople that I've very much recommended. It's great. I think Crowley's histories are fantastic. I liked his Empires of the Sea, which is the run up to Lepanto as well as Lepanto, so I highly recommend you check out anything by Roger Crowley. He has no idea who I am. By the way, he's a British historian. I don't think he's I don't think he knows that I've probably sold more Roger Crowley books on this show than like any other media outlet. Grizzmey, rights, are you on

radio or TV? I was just wondering, have a great day, well, Grizzmey. I'm certainly talking to you if you're listening to this on radio one hundred and twenty five plus stations across the country. And I am on TV both for digital TV at Hill TV, which you can watch at Hill dot tv whatever you feel like. And I do Fox News a few times a week. So yes, I think it's fair to say I am both on TV and on radio. And if you go to Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton, you can see some of the clips

and some of the work that I have done. Keith rides Buck, if you have any sources at the White House, suggest them to have Trump invite the Covington kid Nick to the State of the Union address. He could laud the young man for his good behavior in the face of some really atrocious assault. Podas could also highlight the fake news aspect of the whole event. I like your beard. It makes your massive head look smaller. Well, Keith, thank you,

I appreciate that. And I think that the President's already way ahead of us on the optics of the Covington kids. They're invited to the White House, and yes, I will pass along to my White House contacts that he should be at the State of the Union wherever. That is all right, that's it in the Freedom How Today team, it has been fantastic. It has been an honor, privilege and a pleasure talking tomorrow Shield's Eye man.
