Political Trench Warfare

hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred to eight to five. The future of talk radio. Buck Sexton legislation is supported by you. As you go home, Remember doesn't stop here. Continue to keep the pressure on your elective Welcome to the bucks Sex and show everybody. That was some audio from the weekend that I took myself when I went for a little stroll. What for a little neighborhood stroll? Go check out what was going on with this march in New York City, March March for Our Lives.

It was called because whenever you're mobilizing for mobilizing progressives, you want to make sure that it sounds good and feels good to say whatever it is you're doing. But you don't want anyone to really know what it's all about. So I I went there. I can tell you this is one of the biggest, I think second only to Washington, d C. One of the biggest of these coordinated marches across the country. And I just saw a lot of idiocy on display. I'll be honest with you, and I'm

not trying to be mean, but it was dumb. There was a lot of really dumb stuff. Yeah. That one woman that was I walk past her. She sat there her job as you just keep saying, you know, make sure that your voices are heard and that you vote, and and that you vote against people that are support

of the Second Amendment. But I want to give you a little bit of context here for this march that happened, because it also is a window into what the progressive playbook is to try and take back the control of government. They feel like anything that they can do to stop Trump is is justified and well worth the effort. And so this is just the beginning of more. You're gonna see more of There's more marches, more activism on the streets, all of it. Um. Here's here's what I saw. And again,

this is what I saw myself. I'm not even telling you I didn't read stuff. I walked around, you know, reading the papers about it. I walked around, took photos, and I saw a lot of people who were using children as literally as props, meaning people that were holding up small children. We its signs that said things, and this one I this is a quote. I saw it like Trump kills kids. That was one of the signs.

I had a little kid, maybe couldn't have been older than six, seven, eight years old, walking around a little sign trump kills kids. Now, I know people say there are a lot of mean things. Oh, people said mean things about Barack Obama's birth certificate, or there are mean things I said about Barack Obama. I don't. I do not recall ever going to a rally or seeing a rally, or in any way being aware of thousands of people walking around with signs that were accusing the former president

of literally being a murderer. I don't ever. I don't remember that. I'm pretty sure that didn't happen. And this is I have a flashbacks here to when during the Black Lives Matter movement, I saw signs about placards right posters being held up in public I saw them. I took photos of them. I talked to the people at the rallies. Uh about killer racist cops, racist murdering cops getting away with murder. This is what the signs were saying.

And then I would go on TV and they'd have some some Democrat strategist or talking head bloviator whatever saying, Oh, that's not that's not it's it's about reforming police tactics. No, I saw the signs. Actually it was about calling cops racist murderers, and about about blaming the problems of minority communities with regard to police and policing squarely on the shoulders of police. Right, and with this march over the weekend, as I was there and saw it, this was about

hating President Trump and banning guns. That's it. Anybody who says something else is just either lying or doesn't know any better. Wasn't there you know the signs that there were signs about how they were trying to combine a kind of women's march situation, you know, with the with the women's marching d C was what was going on to get women that had placards up like, um my, my ovaries are more regulated than firearms, which is a

dumb thing. That's not true. I'm looking right now actually as I'm talking to you with the photos I took personally of some of these things, things like thoughts and prayers are not bulletproof. Why that isn't that a really dumb thing to walk around with as a sign. Yeah, no, one thinks that thoughts and prayers are bulletproof. There's a lot of mockery of prayer. By the way, this is here in New York City, thousands and thousands of people walking around with these signs, a lot of mockery of

of those who pray. And because they they have a disdain I mean, the Democrat part of the progressive wing of the Democrat Party is is atheist. I know they'll challenge, Oh, they'll put on some Democrats I am so religious and everything else. No, not only are the atheists, but they're actually contemptuous of people who really believe in their faith, who really believe in God, who believe in the case of Christianity and in the Bible. And you know, they

have a contempt for that. They won't win any elections because seventy percent plus of Americans are are Christians. They won't win any elections unless they play a game where they act like but the Party of Nancy Pelosi and the Party of the Democrat, you know, Bernie Sanders. Progressive left is disdainful of organized religion, except for Islam, which is a an oppressed religion. But other organized religion they

are actually just standful of, you know, Judaism, Christianity. If you believe in it, and if you're serious about it, they think you're foolish. That's just the truth that Progressive Party. I know, people yell at me for that. I don't really care. It's just what it is, the way that it is. Another sign here, find a hobby that doesn't kill people. This is just dumb. The the hobby doesn't

kill people. So I suppose this woman who is holding up this sign is trying to make a point about those who are lawful gun owners who go to gun rages, and that doesn't That doesn't kill people. So I mean it can kill people the same way they're taking a shower can kill you. I mean, there can be accidents, but I don't think anyone's trying to ban showers. Oh, I don't know. Maybe because it does use a lot of water and you know global warming man um thoughts

and prayers xed out here, no policy change. I thought the GOLP was pro life. Another sign I see here now that's but they're really uh trying to say, is that the GOP is in favor of dead children. They had David hogg I played in pretty last weekend and he started off his speech with a smear about Marco Rubio and blood money. Just grotesque stuff. But you got a few things coming together here. One is that there

is a culture of street activism among progressives. They like this, this is a this is a thing that they do. Because I've been dismanted. I've been to the not covering them as a journalist. I've been to the occupy uh Occupy Wall Street marches. I've been to uh Black Lives Matter marches. I've seen this right, and it's you see a lot of same kinds of folks at them and the same tactics. And they do this whole you know, we're gonna use each other as a megaphone on the streets.

And they used to the tingly fingers. They use the fingers up in the air, you know, kind of making moving them back and forth. Instead of applause. I don't know. I mean that all this protest organizer boot camp one oh one stuff that they would do. But this is because progressivism and the Democrat Party, which is really now just the the party manifestation of the leftist status progressive ideology, because of the way that it has become an identity

more than any even about ideas. People show up by these marches because it's a social event, and he had people, you know, they're you know, young families pushing the kids in the strollers too at this thing, and little kids holding upselves by. I think it's really I think it's really gross to hold up signs, uh, to have I'm sorry to have your children hold up signs that have slanderous or in this case, libelous stuff written about politicians and about the n r A. Oh, there's so much

n r A hatred this too. I mean, the construct of the n r A as boogeyman. I there's all kinds of photos of that stuff too walking around. You know, the n r A doesn't care about kids, dead kids. The n r A is evil. It is just appalling, And these are seemingly otherwise normal, nice people walking these marches. But writing really horrible stuff. You know, they're not writing, they're not they're not walking around marching with signs about

you know, hey, let's let's not spend ourselves into oblivion. Like, hey, these are not positive messages. There's a there's a tremendous negativity behind them. But it's a social event. Like I said, it's something to do on the weekends. Oh, let's go to a march, because that's what the cool people do. We go to marches where we march with these signs. And is it Occupy Wall Street? Is a Black Lives Matter? Is it the Women's March? Is it now? What? Whenever?

They're calling this the never you know, never enough? I'm sorry, enough is never again? And enough is enough. I'm looking at this, uh this other side. Enough is enough is one of the big signs I was out there. So I don't think it's ever an encouraging sign when you see uh, I don't think it's ever an encouraging sign when you see a movement like this that cannot, that fundamentally cannot be honest about what it wants and what it's trying to accomplish. This it's a very very sleazy

game that has played here. But you know, the moment you get somebody who represents this movement, you start to push on them and said, hold on a second, do you want to ban guns? Oh no, we're not about banning guns. Meanwhile, I saw all kinds of signs about banning guns, and the movement is quite clearly about banning you know, high capacity magazines, banning are variant rifles, banning

band band, band, band band. But when you say, well, hold on a second, you guys are trying to ban different kinds of guns, and said, oh no, we're not. We're just about child We're just about safety for kids in schools. They're playing games with the language. If you can't be honest about what you want, maybe you should think twice about marching in the streets for it. Right, it's pretty fair, pretty good rule of thumb um. And uh, you had a whole other said, here are people that

were just clearly wildly ignorant of everything. I mean, based on the signs that they were marching, with the slogans that they were they were shouting. They don't know anything about the subject matter, Which is interesting, isn't How can you be so ignorant of guns in the Second Amendment and violence in this country and the truth about it and care so much at the same time about taking

one side of the argument. It's strange, isn't it. You Know, if you ask somebody who is who is deeply committed to a political issue, who's gonna get up and spend their time making signs and going on marches and walks, you asked them about the basics of their issue and they don't know anything, you tend to lose respect for their position. But on this, ignorance is a defense. Ignorance is its own defense. Hey whatever, guns, guns stink. I hate them and people who have them are mean. Do

I know any about guns? No? No, I don't. In fact, Campus Reform asked some of the March for Alive protesters about assault weapons. Here's how that went for banning an assault weapons. Do you know what all weapon is? Yeah? It's um assault weapon. It's like, um, I kind of do, but kind of don't. Like, can any of you tell me what an assault weapon is? Um? Like I know, I guess, um, but assault weapons? Like does that sound safe to you? Do you guys know what an assault

weapon is? Um? Yeah? Honestly, if you're asking me any gun that isn't a pistol. The same amount of people die by assault weapons as do car crashes, and they given your um as, what do car crashes? It's a similar number. Okay, it's it's not actually but or is it similar? No, it's not. So. Assault weapons count for about three of gun debts, but and car crashes are about the leading call. I thought that was, do you guys know what an assault weapon is? Though? I mean,

I'm a phraser cans like military style weapon. An assault weapon is. Yeah, it's like it's an arm that like a gun for instance, that you can buy it a shop pretty easily. That is like, can can cause more despin like one. I guess you don't have to know anything, folks, right, just show up at the march. That's what the cool kids are doing. Show up at the march. What the parents are doing. Do you have to know anything? No? Can you be completeingnoramis on the subject? Sure? Why not?

As long as you know that this is what the the culture tells you on the coasts and the cities, this is what this is what the culture tells you to do. Guns are bad, That's all. That's all These people know and they really care enough to show up these marchins that we got more on this also, by the way, we're gonna talk about they'll continued fallout from the Omnibus bill. I want to hear from more you

folks on that. I'm I'm very disappointed. I think this is uh, this is a negative sign for the administration a lot of ways. I'm worried about it. I will talk a little bit about Stormy Daniels today. I haven't before, but I will. That'll be coming up and then and also the possibility of the nuclear option, which I think should be first all, we should probably stop calling the nuclear option. But also you can't allow this democraticbstruction anymore.

It's it's game time, folks. We gotta get after it now and get some things done. Eight four four eight to five eight four buck, We've got much more. Will be right back. First off, I'm gonna start off by putting this price tag right here as a reminder for you guys to know how much Marco Rubio took for every student's life in Florida one in five cents. Okay, I mean, I don't even know what this kid's trying

to say. That was how David Hoggs started off his his big speech, and I would note that you know, they can't have it both ways. You can't have Oh, he's an adult and he suffered a trauma, and we should listen to him. He has a unique experience. He's an adult. And then when he says something dumb, and people like me pointed out, why are you being so mean? He's just a kid and he's been through so much. No, no, well,

one or the other either. He is part of the national discussion on this and therefore what he says is fair game for debate and discussion or it's not. It's not. Um. You got Kyle Kashev who's out there, and he tweeted out that he'd like the debate hog and here's what he says about all this. I don't agree with the message that they're trying to spread, which is an anti gun and Benny salt russels, So simply because of that reason,

I won't be marching. My message for um, David Doggan and these people is this, truely, look at all the facts and that in order to get a proper perception about this issue, and you know, all the facts on all the sides you know, it's not because of his age or anything else, or because he was at the Marjorie Stone and Douglass School. But I just agree with that as a as a general concept. If you're gonna

push for something, you should know something about it. If you're gonna lecture the American Pee on a subject, you should have some understanding of what it is, some depth, some knowledge. Uh. I know, these days it feels like in the era of you know, Facebook, Live and Instagram and everything, a lot of people just it's it's a lot of sizzle and no substance out there and media land. Trust me, it's worse now than it's ever been before.

You get a lot of people that have never read a freaking book who are all of a sudden experts on what we should all do on something without having expertise in anything. It's bad right now, and it's worse

than it's ever been. And for a lot of for a lot of different media figures, it's just they look the part, they sound the part, you know, for the males that are like basically glorified catalog models, a lot of those on the TV these days, and you know, for the ladies, for some of them, it's like, well, there, you know, this person is very attractive, so we should listen what she has to say on whatever the issue is. It should be based on the substance, male, female, anyone else,

based on the substance. And these kids that are pushing for gun control and using this movement a movement movement moment are lacking in it. And the way that the media has debased itself by elevating these kids as national icons of progressivism and activism and everything else is I would say it's an embarrassment, but they're not embarrassed at least by it. They actually think that this is a good thing. I think it's effective. I don't think it

will be. People are saying, oh, look, Buck Remington just filed for chapter eleven Chapter eleven bankruptcy. Yeah. Well, they've been having trouble for a while, and a lot of this is driven by whether or not people think that a Democrat administration is coming in or not. Because Democrats, guess what, I want to band guns just like the March for Our Lives. He's holding the line for America,

buck Sexton his back. I'm afraid that this could end up costing us the majority in which case, they must not be anybody in the room that wants a wall, that wants to crack down on illegal immigration, that wants to do the things that got the president elected, that kept our majorities for us. I mean, you've got to remember, even a month, within a month of the election in t sixteen, we were being urged by our leadership to run from Trump, and a bunch of us reared up

and said, you better not run from him. This is your only chance. You better get behind him. We Democrats are really happy with what we were able to accomplish, were able to accomplish more in the minority than we were when we had the presidency or even were in the majority. I think one of the reasons they rushed it through they didn't want their voting colleagues to see

just exactly what was in the bill. There. You have a few different versions of events from lie this week when they when the President signed this omnibus bill, which he said he would never do again, never signed a bill like this again. He says, you got the Gohmert version, which is this could cause us the majority of the Congress, and as we all know, if Republicans don't have control in the House, say goodbye to the rest of the Trump agenda until they until they gain it back. If

they gain it back, um, that's it. Yes, they will also initiate impeachment proceedings against the president, no question in my mind that's gonna happen. I don't even think that's a never mind a controversial. I think that's a consensus opinion among most of my friends on the right these days. If the Democrats get the House, they're going to impeach. Well a lead anywhere. No, but that's not about that. It's it's the the political trench warfare of wearing down

the administration, the legal attrition. We've already seen Mueller probe and all the rest of it. And then you add into that impeachment proceedings in the House, and it just Trump will just be on defense the whole time for the rest of his presidency, and which the Democrats would love for. And that's clearly part of the plan. This is what they are trying to do, is what they're trying to get. So what can be done? What will we do about it? What con Trump you about it?

I wish I had the answer. I'm hoping and I'll get into what my hope isn't just a moment. But but first off, the Democrats, what what Schumer says about how they've gotten more now they did it under Obama? Yeah, this is this is a budget that Obama would have liked. There's really not much of a refutation at that point. Obama would have liked this budget. Chuck Schumer likes it, Nancy Pelosi likes it. Planned Parenthood gets full funding. There's nothing in this budget other than a lot of spending

for a lot of things. Uh, that is remarkable. There's certainly not a place where a decision was made to stand and fight on an issue of real policy importance or on on a principle that really matters here. So I don't see how we can view this as anything other than problematic. I really don't now. I saw the president's tweet over the weekend because this is what he wrote. Because of the seven hundred and seven sixteen billion dollars gotten to rebuild our military, many jobs are created and

our military is again rich. Building a great border wall with drugs, poison and enemy combatants battons pouring into our country is all about national defense. Build wall through m which is military here. So he's saying, just build the wall through the military. How the military do it? I guess the Army Corps engineers, and tell him just go do it on national defense purposes, and to do this under the president's role, on the auspices of he is

the commander of chief and this is about national defense. Okay, But if I'd have to ask the question, if that is the plan here, what the heck are we waiting for, folks? If the wall could have just been ordered by the president at any point in time, what's with all the negotiations and all the discussions and so much talk about how Mexico will pay for it? All this, it feels like that was what exactly a tactic maybe, but not

one that I can understand, at least not not off hand. So, if the president does plan to have a wall built, what are we waiting for? Why did we even have to talk about it with the Democrats? Maybe he wanted to see if they'd come along and go with it. All right, fine, I guess you can find a way to explain this. But to me, in the meantime, it seems very much like this is wishful thinking. Right now,

the wall should be built. The President. Also, I think and the administration should be making a much bigger deal about what I've been talking about here, in which we got the Attorney General last week on the show to uh confirm, which is that you cannot talk about the opioid epidemic without talking about border security and illegal immigration. You cannot tackle the opioid epidemic without dealing with illegal

immigration and border security. It's not possible. And that then changes this in the list of priorities I think for the country from something that is a long standing problem that needs to be addressed to an urgent national crisis. I certainly hope, um, I certainly hope that we will see the President finds some way to start getting the wall built in a meaningful way. A billion dollars as

a joke. Billion dollars not enough, and we all know that, and I think in the omnibus bill it's actually explicitly laid out that he can't use a billion dollars for new wall construction, really just shoring up wall that's already there. Well, you know, we don't need an additional ten feet on the couple of hundred miles of border that has fencing and barriers. We don't need a few added to the height. We need more new border friends. That is what we

That's what we need. And I'm I'm wondering what the president's play is here. It's not gonna get easier. It's not going to get more straightforward as we get closer to the midterm elections to have the president try and negotiate this deal. There's just no way. There is no way that with the mid terms looming, we will be more likely to have a president who is able to get a deal done. All of a sudden, we're gonna develop political courage as a party in September before No,

what's not gonna happen. I don't know the Republican Party is is. It's looking looking pretty shoddy right now. It's looking pretty shoddy. Maybe there's some surprise that I can't see. Maybe they've got something planned. I don't know. I doubt it, though I doubt it. Then you start to wonder, what are the options? What's the response? I wish I had an answer. You know, I can't build the wall. You

can't build the wall. All you can do is elect a person and elect a platform that says that that will happen, that a southern border wall will be constructed. I promise, I guarantee that's what we were told. Does not look like that is happening. And I would want the most stalwart defenders of the administration to just go on the record now and let me know if we don't have a wall after four you or or the

beginning of meaningful construction. You know, I'm not saying it has to be completed, but it has to be up and running and getting built. If we don't have that within four years, then can we say that we were betrayed, that that the promise was not kept. I would like to establish what the goalposts are now, because we know that people are going to try to move them a lot. We don't have a wall by do we get to does that affect our decision making in I'd like to

I'd like to establish this now. I'd like to know. Um, all right, I'll the Stormy Daniels thing. I'll talk about a little bit in the next hour. I mean, CNN has turned into like the Stormy Daniels Network, and they're running with this story all day. It's just not that interesting. I think this is Look, it's uh, whether whether you think the allegations are all false or just exaggerated, or you think they're all true, all true. I think that

this is a form of Trump terraine Bean syndrome. The whole Stormy Daniels, The way the media is covering it, it really is crazy. They've lost it. All right. We've got a bunch of calls coming in. I want to take them. People agree with me or don't agree with me. We'll see on the omnibus situation, the budget where all this is going. And like I said, Stormy Daniels coming up. I've got a theory on this that I think will explain a lot um and it will also explain the

political ramifications of this. Stormy Daniels. I keep forgetting the other accusers or and it's not even really an accute, not saying anything wrong, just saying it's had an alleged affair. I can't remember her name. Um, the other one what was you know what I mean? The other the playmate what was the other playboy playmates name that apparently had the affair of them or whatever? I don't know. I can't keep it straight. But McDougall, right, mc McDougall or mccaren,

I don't know anyway, we'll talk. Well, I'll figure out her name and we'll we'll talk about that too. In the next hour. I promised eight four or four nine eight to five, eight four or four nine hundred buck We've got a lot more. I'll be right back. All right, team, we got calls all over the place. Here, let's get into it. Tim in Ohio, you're on buck Listen. That was sick. That was heartbroke, man. I mean, I thought, I've been waiting for a patriot since eighty nine, that

guy in his newer war sold down the river. I've been waiting and here it comes their man and he signed that bill. Number one with us was that wall, stop the drug, stop the welfare from the illegal, stop taking over our job. I was so heartbroken. But then today when I've seen that they put that extra money in there, and then Dems, we we thought he got snookeerd. I think on the other hand, he snickered them. He

turned it around. I think he's going to use that military budget to say this is for national defense, and you know what he can do it because how many times justin we thought he was down and out right, and we thought, oh man, that they got you again, They got you again. It turns around him, he gets him. I think that's over that now. Don't get me wrong. Why are we giving money to plant parenthood, who's making money? Why give him plant money to you know, all the

things we don't want. But I think in the end, he had to make a wedge. He pulled the wool down. They didn't know what was behind the curtain. And I think he's gonna start building that wall. We you you said one year, four years. We better see in six months that he says the wall construction is going to happen where I'm gonna be very disappointing. All right, Well, Tim, I hope, I hope you are correct, my friend, and I appreciate you joining and thank you very very much

for that. Um. Maybe maybe does the president have a plan here that we'll get around the Congress. Possibly, I certainly hope so. Because that bill that was signed last week, that budget, that omnibus bill, it was crappy. It just was not not what you would expect from a not just a Republican president, but a different kind of Republican president, one who's entire mandate, who's manifesto, if you will, is to drain the swamp and to build the wall. John

in California City, California, Hey, John, how are you? I'm all right, thanks for your call. Did when the Democrats were empowered, they past the Tipartistan build to build a double layer of fence along the border, and then they funded it, and the Democrats put in the funding bill that Homeland Security you can use the money however they

see six. So all someths needs to do is just realocate Homeland Security money and bold with you're telling me the money is already there, So this fight over border wall funding for the ominous bill is irrelevant. Well, Homeland Security spent the money they bought X ray scanners for airports ticket instead of using it to build the double layer of fence that was mandated by Congress. So now you just take it out of the Homeland Security budget since Congress already said you can do what you want

with onland security money. What you want. Hmm, yeah, I mean back in two thousand six, President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act. Remember that, Yes, That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, yeah, but that it didn't happen if you recall it. Somehow signed he signed a law that's ever, we're gonna build a fence. In two thousand and six, remember John McCain in a campaign re election

at build the dang fence. Remember that no fence. Somehow, what happened was the Democrats put a writer on the funding that says that Homeland Security can use their money however they want. So what they did is they realcated those funds for actually scanners for airports. So now all you gotta do, since Congress already said on land security

money is discustionary, just redirected and build the way. Yeah, I mean initially Congress didn't get the full that they didn't appropriate the full funds for back in two thousand and six. By the way, Congress, according to the Inner thank you for calling in John. According to the interwebs here, Congress put aside, who wants to guess how much money one point four billion back in two thousand and six didn't get the job done, then do not think it

is going to get the job done now. Um. I'm I'm hoping that the people that are saying this, you know, there's another way, like our last caller here, that this could just happen. I'm hoping they're right, I really am. But let's but if that's true, then like it should happen now, right, if that's true, should be right away. It shouldn't be uh uh, Let's wait six months, see how the midterms go. The president should do it now and tell us how he's gonna do it and take

that action. We'll see. Yeah, people forget this now about the Secure Fence Act of two thousand and six past two three to a hundred and thirty eight. Overwhelming support for the Secure Fence Act. It look border security used to be a bipartisan issue. It just has changed more recently into because Democrats are now a party of of of people get angry to open borders. Okay, fine, you don't completely open boards. They're they're they're the pro illegal

immigration party. They are in favor of illegal immigration. They do not think it is a problem that needs to be addressed. They do not think it is a problem that needs to be managed. It is a phenomenon that needs to be encouraged. Democrats like it. It feeds their power. And what do Democrats care about, folks? What gets the Democrat party really excited? That's right. The power to control

your life, that's it. That's it gets Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders and all the rest that Elizabeth Warren, that gets them out of bed in the morning, and I absolutely does. That's what they want, and that's what they think. They have a mandate from their constituents to do. Tell you how to live your life and tell you how things are gonna be. So this is this is what the fight is all about. This is

what we've got ahead of us. Now. I gotta say that, Uh, I'm I'm willing to give a little bit of leeway here on this idea about the president building offense. But if this is true, we're going to know right away, all right. So let's all agree with that. This is not something that should be dragged out for a long time. If Trump is just gonna make the order, build the dang fence, if you will, it should happen. I gotta talk to you about the Stormy Daniels think coming up here.

I've got a kind of unique analysis of this. I think I have a unique analysis is pretty much everything. But you want to hear my Stormy Daniel's thoughts. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth. The buck never stops. If it was untruthful, why did you sign it? Because they made it sound like I had no choice. One was putting a gun to your head, not physical violence. Now you thought that there would be some sort of legal repercussion if you

didn't sign it. As a matter of fact, the exact sentence use was they can make your life hell in many different ways. M Welcome our two of the Buck Sexton Show. That was from the very highly rated Stormy Daniels interview yesterday with Anderson Cooper, who was just oh so serious of this whole interview with with Stormy Daniels. So now you have a she I believe she's a four former uh former porn star who's out there with these allegations against the president getting a lot of airtime.

You also have a former playboy playmate with different allegations in some ways but similar in others. And media seems seems to be completely obsessed with this story. They are hooked on this, and they went into some considerable detail in this Anderson Cooper interview on sixty minutes last night. I think it was the the highest ratings that sixty minutes has had for any interview in a decade, so people were very curious I would know that I watched this.

Actually I watched this last night with Miss Molly, and sure enough, there wasn't really a whole lot of new from what I had already read and seen out there. And I've tried to avoid spending too much of the time on this show covering the story because I I don't find it particularly interesting or or noteworthy one way

or the other. I'm much more concerned with national policy and what's happening with the Trump agenda than I am about an alleged affair from what two thousands and I forget what the I forget what the eros now, but some some years back before Trump was even running for any of this, and the way you can see the fixation that particularly CNNA has with covering every detail and every little addition to the story reminds me of the Russia collusion thing, which is that ultimately it's really hyped

up and it's who cares, But they want to keep going with it because they believe that this is damaging to the president. That's all this is about. It's about humiliating the president. It's damaging the president. It is and the stuff, and those of you that remember what it was like under the Clinton years, with the way the media would just bend over backwards to protect him. Oh,

he'd lied. It was just about sex. It wasn't. It was actually about sexual harassment under the Clinton administration, which I thought that the liberal left cared about, but they don't. Um As we know, they prostrated themselves at the altar of Clintonian worship, and now here we are, we still remember what they did then and what they're saying now, all this moral preening and all that the tut tutting,

the how dare you look at this? These are from the same people that are, for one, our supporters of planned paranoid So I don't really want to have any I don't need any moral anything from them. But also when it suits them, any sexual activity of a politician is is private conduct and who cares and it's not anyone's business. And when it doesn't, they don't just cover

the story, they run with it endlessly. If the Democrats did not cover all issues related to Trump with a bizarre fixation with a form with a form of Trump's arrangement syndrome, I think it actually would be more damaging to the president. But because it's always crying wolf, it's always the worst thing that's that's ever been done. It's always the president is beyond the pale, needs to be impeached, worst human being in the history of the planet, has

broken more laws than anybody could have ever imagined. When they come out with new or more allegations, you just sort of say to yourself, well, what is it this time? Right? I have Trump outrage fatigue. I have for a long time. I'm sure many of you do as well. It's just this I ain't thing. Oh my gosh, look at Trump, Oh what's he done. If the media could just pretend to be a little normal and just be a little more like the actual journalists they espoused themselves to be,

this would all matter more. The stories would stick, more, people would care more. But with this situation with Stormy Daniels and the the other John told me the name of the other McDougall, Karen McDougall. Right, yeah, um, there is a an obsession with it, and I just want to wonder. Okay, so when do they stop covering these stories? Trump says it didn't happen, or the White House is saying that that this is not true. At what point does this become a non story? The answer is that never.

There's no there's no criminal conduct that has been alleged in either case of any kind. So this is actually purely personal behavior. And now they keeps saying, oh, well, we'll Cohen the lawyer have paid off for me. That came up last night with Anderson Cooper being I was oh so serious journalist men, the second coming of Morrow um or muro. Pardon me, uh, but they're the only illegal conduct would have been from Cohen the lawyer, who I'm sure it is going to argue that there's nothing

legal what he did. But regardless, there's nothing to do with actually with Trump, and it would be sitting. It would be settled as a civil matter, no doubt, or settled with a fine. There's no one's going to prison over this. If you pay someone to have them quiet about something and sign an NDA, that's also called employment for a lot of people, right, meaning that that's what's done by a lot of places, a lot of media organizations. I would have you know, in fact, have their personnel.

I knew this is true at MSNBC because I heard that Keith Olberman had designed one, and then there was a whole problem with was he agreeing to it or not. They have their outgoing personnel sign, you know, a non disparagement agreement. It's kind of like a nondisclosure agreement, same idea, and they pay the money to just kind of make them, you know, a little a little less angry about the situation or a little more feel a little better about the departure, so that there's no no hard feelings and

no hard words exchanged, particularly in public. That's not all that strange. So there's no crime here. So why is it of such great fascination? And the truth is that if the media can find a way, and it's really i mean CNN has actually become it's become a as an organization, a feted place. I mean it is decrepit, it is broken down and nasty and gross um over Trump, I mean Trump, it's this. It's no longer a place

that's like centered center left. It's now just we we hate the Trump administration and they have all their eggs and then we are bringing this administration down basket. There is no other there's no turnative, there's nothing else that they offer up every night. It's just continuing on with this on, with this narrative of how do we end

this presidency, how do we humiliate the president? And when that's your approach to everything, it means that it's very difficult for those of us who even try to be honest and our assessment of things to say, well, hold on a second, is this really a big deal? Are we supposed to care about this? And so now they cover non criminal conduct by the president from many years ago as though it were the you know, the Japanese

bombings of Pearl Harbor. I mean, it is NonStop, and they like to get into some of the lower details. And you know, that's keep in mind that President Clinton wasn't just accused of an affair, and people always think of Monica Lewinski. He led to the growth. He was also engaged in all kinds of intimidate you know, the White House was engaged intimidation witnesses. There was really just nasty, exactly what you'd expect, nasty, criminal behavior from the Clintons.

But he was also credibly accused of sexual assault and the media wouldn't cover it at all, no interest in covering it. With Trump, he's not accused of sexually assaulting either of these two women. I know they'll bring up other other cases of sexual assault, but this is a story that they are insisting on making national business and making a big deal of, and I think it just goes to show that they can't even cover this in a normal way. Everything is magnified, everything is exaggerated. It's

always Trump is the worst ever. Trump is terrible. Trump needs to go. Trump is a disgrace. Um. There's not any real good faith attempt to say, Okay, this is what's out there, let's move on to something else. Um. I understand there's a salacious aspect of this as well. You got a porn star, and news channels like to keep putting the photo was of the porn star on their channels, so people loo, there's the porn star that's accusing trouble with this. But I think that there's a

a backlash to this as well. The people who support the president see this and they say that there's nothing that they won't do to bring this guy down. There is no level they will not stoop to, and everyone's just kind of sick, or at least people that are willing to be supportive or fair mind of the president

are just sick of it at this point. Um, the notion that there was a threat against Stormy Daniels from somebody, I mean, for example, that's isn't running with that uh back in, which I think is also what all has happened. They have no idea who that was or what it was all about. That's being covered as a national news story that somebody said, you know, shut your mouth or else.

Any of us who work in the media and have any sort of following or or platform have been threatened and had all kinds of terrible stuff said to us. I promise you the mean things people have said to me and my friends who work in this business of media not gonna be national news over at CNN in five years. No one cares. But they're making the alleged threats national news as well. What do they hope they'll get out of all this? You know, here's a kind

of wonder. Um. They've exhausted their outrage faculties. There's not really much more for them to do, or many more places for them to go. We're already a point where they have reached maximum maximum disdained for this president, maximum hatred for him is nothing else. And when I saw the story with Stormy Daniels, I watched the intermacene, I thought or non CNN on sixty minutes with Anderson Cooper

of CNN, this is just not a very interesting story. Look, if the president, if the president cheater on his wife, that's that's not a that's unethical, It's not a good thing to do. I would condemn it. But I would also note that a lot of presidents have had a lot of personal problems. I don't pretend that we live in a country where the personal failings of a president are going to determine whether or not they can be

successful on a policy level. UM. I also think that the media is so dishonest and how they cover all this that it's very difficult for us to sift through what's real and what's not because you know, John Edwards, for example, was engaged in really disgusting personal conduct when he was trying to be president and trying to be vice president after that, and was running as somebody who was on the up and up, straight up guys, stood

by his cancer stricken wife. You know, you you could trust John Edwards, and he was the slimiest sleaziest guy you could ever imagine, as we all found out because of the National Enquirer, by the way, not because any other news organization wanted to touch it at first. Um with Trump, Yeah, the guy has been married three times and he's he's had some bumps along the way, and clearly as a what's the word he likes He likes the company of beautiful women. That much we all know.

And maybe it's a weakness of his I think you might be able to say that. But if he manages to deliver on the promises of the Trump campaign, how much am I really supposed to care about all that? You know that. This is the question that I think a lot of people play, is this is not gonna change Trump supporters. They're not gonna say, oh gosh, you mean you mean all of a sudden he he had a relationship with a porn star some years ago, And Nope. I don't think the supporters are gonna if he doesn't

build the wall. I think people are gonna say, I've had enough. But the porn star thing, I don't know, ohoy do you? But I'm wondering how many of you believe it versus don't believe it um. That would be an interesting I wish I could do some kind of a non scientific poll on this one. Do you think that this woman she's lied before on the record, as we know, but now she's saying, well, I had to lie because but you know, do you believe her accounting

of this? Do you believe McDougal's accounting of this? Then the even more important question is does anyone really care in a way that matters? The stories are out, They've been out for a long time. We are aware of it, we know about it. We'll see, we'll see. I wonder how this all shakes out. Eight four four to five, my friends, eight four four nine buck, We got a

lot more. I'm going to talk about the sixty Russians expelled from the US, Russian diplomats, you know, quote unquote diplomats that were expelled from the US, and what that means. So that'll be probably coming up at the in the next hour. But we've got a lot more, yes our including the nuclear option. I think it's worth a discussion as well, why we should get to that. And and you were thoughts. Very much like to hear what you're thinking about all this, my friends, because these stories are

not going away. I've I've avoided I've avoided the uh the storm if you will, has a terrible sort of a pond there, but avoided the storm about Stormy for as long as I can. But it's pretty much the biggest new story in the country right now, so I felt like we needed to weigh in on it somewhat and we'll see where it's all. But it is a just to for everybody out there. I have no doubt about it. They will impeach this president and they'll try to work this into it. In fact, we'll get into

some of that analysis when we come back. Stay with me. I think his greatest vulnerability are these women, because he has denied that he has had any affair with any of these women. And if they get him under a position and he testifies that he's had no sexual relations with these women and they testify that he has, then he could be facing a perjury trap. And that's what got Bill Clinton. And what worried me is that among the list of lawyers that they say he sought to

hire was a guy named Bob Bennett. Bob Bennett was Clinton's lawyer, the one who got him impeached. There you have Alan Dershowitz who's sounding the alarm on this stuff. Don't think it's lost on me, folks. I'm sure it's not lost on on you that you may have a situation here where Democrats actually try to set up the Bill Clinton treatment. Hey, that's Roddy was real rough. It was main they were so Maine to me, media bass

right wing conspiracy. I mean, all the rest of the meeting was in my pocket, but some of the media was so Maine. Uh. They may try to set that up against Trump, that that might be part of the plan here. In fact, I think that may be h on the wish list, if you will, of what the Democrats are hoping to achieve with all of this. I think it's a stretch. As I said, that, you have Cohen paying some money hush money, and oh it's an in kind campaign contribution. All right, Well, unless Trump directed it,

I don't see how that implicates trumpet. If someone does something on behalf of Trump without Trump saying to do it, uh, then I don't see how that could be a problem at all. No, No, again, maybe he did, I don't know. And if he reimbursed him, then as far as I understand it's like not really a problem at all, So we will see, although I believe Cohen has said that Trump did not reimburse him. John and Delaware, what do you think about all this messy buck? Yes, hello, hey

buck Man, appreciate what you do. I just wanted to start off by saying that, thank you, sir. And I'm not going to talk much about the whole stormy Daniel is nonsense because I can really care less with President Trump did twelve years ago, and his sexual life is his own private, you know business, So I'm not gonna up on that. But as far as these these kids go in the marches and the demonstrations, I was tell

them a dive and answers the phone. I don't think that the kids are just dumb per se or you know, they're out there are calls and rock kids for no specific reason. I think that they just don't know why we have a right to bear arms. They don't teach civics in high school no more. US history is taught halfway now all the way that he used to be, and I think that they're just under educated. The only thing that they do know as far as civics goes is that they have a right to assemble and that

the press has its freedom. And as far as that's conferred, I think that they're you know, very under educated on the whole situation and the whole the whole deal man. Yeah, I think that's true. But I would even add to it, John, that kids are actually taught just that guns are bad and that the correct position. Now, I mean public schools in particular, are teaching our children that the correct position is, in fact, that guns are bad and they should be banned,

and that's the moral position. So forget about why are you gonna have a right to bear arms? They're just teaching them propaganda in the opposite direction. But thank you very much for your call, John, I appreciate it. Team will be right back. He's holding the line for America. Buck sext in his back. Got an interesting thing to add into the mix for the investigation of the Pulse nightclub shooters. Wife here you'll remember back in it was

a June of twenty sixteen, the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando. Well, now we know that the the husband Omar Mateene, right, he was the one who targeted this, uh, this gay nightclub, called in and said at the time that he was uh doing this on behalf of the Islamic state, and he was a soldier of the Islamics there, and he called in and shared with them all the information about why he was doing it. And then the FBI chose to redact those transcripts. I pledge allegiance to redacted. I'm

doing this in the name of redacted. Oh yeah, you can think maybe that came from the FBI, or maybe that was the Maybe that was the doing of Attorney General Luretta Lynch and those in the Obama administration who are trying to do everything they could want to protect us from the knowledge of gee hottest attacks on us soil. Right, better to just pretend they're not happening than to let us deal with the reality of them happening. And then

also because of some misplaced attempt at political correctness. Remember, Obama was the president who said that the future does not belong to those who slander the profit of Islam. Very strange things that he said at the United Nations, but he said it nonetheless, Well, we know about we know about Omar Maatine, his wife, nor Salmon, who got attention immediately afterwards because it seemed like it was very unlikely that she had no idea really what was going

on here. She is on trial facing life in prison for material support to a terrorist organization, in this case, the Islamic State, and also obstruction of justice. Um. This I suppose it would be material support to ISIS and included in the charging here would be that that you had forty Gosh, I care for forty. Somehow I forget what the full casualt account was. A lot of people were killed in the Pulse nightclub. But now we got a new thing to add into all this as well.

Now I have something else to put in the mix here. Nor Salmon, the wife has through her attorney's motioned for a mistrial. So the wife of the Pulst nightclub shooter has motioned for a mistrial because thank you, Producer mighty

were killed in the Pult nightclub. It's a lot of people, um, But she's trying to get a mistrial because the father Omar Mateen's father, if you remember, uh, It has come out in court according to the defense here that Sadiq Matin, the dad was an FBI informant three years for like five years or so, maybe longer. So my friends, Let's think about this for a moment. The FBI had an informant who was the father of the terrorists who would

become the Pulst nightclub shooter. I understand that there's a couple of ways that I'm sure they would try to explained this publicly so that it wouldn't look quite so jaw dropping the bad. You would think that if you had a relationship with somebody as a confidential source and they had a terrorist in their family, you'd have some sense of what's going on here, and maybe you'd be able to do more. Um. But they weren't able to

stop that one. They were not able to stop it, according to According to a new six Orlando here, Mateen's father played a significant role in the FBI's decision not to seek an indictment from the Justice Department for false statements to the FBI or for obstruction of justice against Omar Mateen during its investigation into his alleged threats. So the FBI's confidential informant convinced the f beIN not to go forward with charges against the Pulse nightclub shooter before

obviously that terrorist incident. What does this say about the what does it say about the judgment of some of the folks in the FBI involved here by the Sadique Matina was also the guy who was at a rally for presidential Canada Hillary Clinton, and she was He was there less than two months after the Pulse nightclub attack,

and he was directly behind Clinton during the speech. So this guy literally has been popping up in places everyones whoa and he's an FBI informant, and he stopped the FBI from going forward charges against his son, who became one of the worst terrorists on US soil in the last decade, one of the worst mass shootings in US history, one of the worst isis inspired attacks UH in this country.

I think actually in terms of casualties for ices, I think that's the highest that's confirmed inspired by the Islamic State and UH. And in terms of the number of people killed. And so now we look at this as we said to ourselves, this has got There's gotta be something else that's gonna come out. Now, there's gotta be more. I don't know if it's gonna lead to mistrial or not.

I think it might, but miss trials are a thing that I don't have a much experience, as in any experience in I'm not familiar with how that process specifically works. It does seem to me to be a problem from the perspective of getting a fair trial if, in fact the FBI he was part of the prosecution here, had not turned over that information, which I'm assuming they did, and otherwise it wouldn't be able to file for a mistrial. Um not turned over the information in their disclosure process

about the fact that this guy was an FBI. Format mean, you know, with some of these mass shootings, you really do get the sense. Well, I don't think it's just a sense. With some of these mass shootings, what you see is that the public is fed information away that's most advantageous to the government and the security apparatus that's supposed to protect us. Absolutely the case in a number of shootings that involved Geehattas on US soil. But it's the case here, I think as well, you know, we

don't find out about it right away. They hold back some details, they hold back some information from us, and then we see, oh, it's because it looks bad from you know, the the shooting that happened in Parkland, right the school shooting. The more we know about that. The worst it looks from the perspective of the FBI, Police, school Board, Broward County Sheriff's office, all of it really about as bad as it could be. With Polst Nightclub

also really bad, folks. Police response not good. They were there almost right away. There were people bleeding out inside and there were there was a tackle team on site. Did not go in. Not good. People can tell me, oh bo protocol. No, I don't care what any particular departments protocol is. Now, if you have an active shooter who's still shooting people, and you have people on scene with guns who are law enforcing, they have to go

and usually they do, but sometimes they don't. Anyway, Uh, we're gonna talk about Russia coming up here in just a few minutes, so stay with me for that and a whole lot more team, I'll be right back. China's a sovereign nation is has to make a choice about how it wants to proceed. Uh, in the global economy. I think it's important to recognize here that it's not just the United States who is tired of having China steal their stuff, fired of having their foreign corporations go

into China, and they have forced technology transfer occur. President's vision here, it's it's it's stunning, lee brilliant, because what he's trying to bring about is a fundamental reordering of the global trading system in a way which focuses on free markets, fair trade, and reciprocal trade. And that's not what we have there. Everything the president does every morning that he goes to work is all centered around driving economic growth and creating jobs, not just here in America

but around the world. There you had the President's advisor on on trade, Peter Navarro, who is making the case. You know, we were we were last week being told, oh my gosh, the threat of trade a ward. It's gonna be it's so terrible. And look what's happening with the the stock market. Well, you know, now here we are a week later, and the Dow had the biggest one day game since two thousand and eight, the biggest one day gain in ten years, according to Fox Business. Here.

So the threat of a trade war, as I have been saying, and more importantly, the impact of a trade war, has been greatly exaggerated in the media. You know, this reminds me of something I learned when I was in government people are, and they don't want to admit this to you. So I'm letting you. I'm letting you in on something that's maybe a little little counterintuitive. People are much more comfortable with the status quo than they say

they are. And everyone talks about being a revolutionary, but then you when whatever it is in their field, you know, whether they're you know, selling paper or opening up a lemonade stand down the street, whatever it is, everyone's like, all right, I'm gonna change the game. I want to be disruptive. Disruptive because of the Silicon Valley. Uh, techno speak is something that people just say, now right, you're in a meeting, well, I want to disrupt the And

Trump is a disruptive president, but he actually is. Um. But when I when I look at what policies Trump pushes out there, Trade is a great example of it where you start to see that people just have it an inherent resistance to actual change. Right. Everyone theoretically loves the idea of of changing things up, disrupting, thinking outside the box, all that, but we all, we all get comfortable with consensus. We take a false security in it. We We all like thinking that the path that we're

going on is the one that's the smartest. And it's a lot easier to be on a certain path and feel that way than to just to jump into the unknown, right the devil, you know, you get all the all the old chestnuts, all the old wisdom comes into play here. But with trade, this is a great example of it. And I will give myself a little pat on the back here for not doing what so many of my fellow conservatives have done, which is is in Oh my gosh,

it's like he doesn't understand, Milton Friedman. I get it. I understand if you're looking for just maximum efficiency of goods and services and products exchanged across international borders and money and yeah, just letting people get whatever they can get and do whatever they can do. He's going to be great for wealth generation. But there are other impacts of this, There are other aspects of that you have

to take into account. And on trade, the consensus had been, oh my gosh, this is so crazy what he's doing. How could he, you know, how could he be opposed to free trade. He's not opposed to free trade. He's just opposed to some countries doing whatever they want that they think benefits them. And us saying, well, at all, we're free traders. Think about it like, you're in a you know, you're in a race, okay, and you're you're in a marathon. Let's make it even a little more.

And and you're you're running on the marathon, and there's some people who are in that marathon and they are hopping in taxi cabs and trying to get ahead of you, and then they get out and they get ahead of you. Even if you beat them at the end, you got a problem with them cheating, Even if you know you're gonna win the race, you want to call out what they're doing because guess what if the time comes when one of them actually does win the race, it's too

late now they've won. So you know you you want to respond two actions that are breaking promises, outside the lines, breaking regulations, unfair. However it is, we are going to describe the specifics of what China is up to, and

that's another very good point that he makes. We always think about this in the context of and this is back to Navarro, of how China is affecting us and what they're doing to us as a trading partner, but also what they're doing with regard to stealing intellectual property. And when I'm saying what he is pointing out and what I'm raising as well for you here is it's

not just us the Chinese are stealing from. You know, we actually have a really sophisticated cyber infrastructure or we can depends on what we're talking about, but we do have a we have cyber command, and we have the most advanced technology companies in the world. And you know, imagine if you're in another country and you're trying to get an edge on China, you're competing against China, what

that's like. You know, you think you're gonna have some proprietary advantage over over the Chinese if you're in there, if you're in their neck of the woods, I don't think so. I'm not gonna last very long. Think about how aggressive they are with us in terms of espionage and doing everything they can to get in illicit corporate advantage.

And then imagine that you're not the United States, you know, imagine your Vietnam, or South Korea or India, all right, go down the line of all these different countries that have their own interests that the Chinese are pushing into these days, and see how if we don't set the tone and start to establish that the Chinese can't just do whatever they want and steal, it is stealing, keep knowing that, then it's just gonna have a cascading effect

and and it's going to be a really negative one. So, you know, I just have been trying to be as multifaceted a thinker on this as I can, because I do understand the very basics of you know, what they're trying to you know what, what the mantra is. I understand what the mantra is on this, but there's a lot more to it. And I think the notion of a trade war is overblown, the notion that the Chinese are going to bring us to to our knees by retaliating against us. We're just telling them to be more

fair in their interactions. And I'm gonna and fair. This is not fair in the Obama sense of the term, which is whatever I wanted to be at any point in time. You know, if they're going to charge tariffs on certain certain products, then we'll charge twenty tariffs for their products. Here. They can stop it, and we'll stop it, you know, And that it turns into me the best man or a woman win. I don't see this as such a such an astonishingly brazen shift, But just notice

how people the the consensus opinion on this. Back to my initial premise here about how people like things the way they are. You know, rock the boat, Oh gosh,

un rock the boat. The initial premise was, this is such a such such a terrible idea, and not only people are seeing the real results of it, and or at least they're getting a sense of what the results could be, they're not seeing the results quite yet, and they're realizing that what they've been told is not true, that the Chinese can't hurt us as badly as everyone has been saying, and that this isn't going to lead to calamity, and maybe Trump's actually onto something with this,

and I certainly hope so, because we're gonna need a president with a with a roaring economy, who is making great deals for the economy, doing all kinds of good things on jobs and growth, than because we're gonna win the mid terms. Because I'm I'm not thinking that the wall is gonna happen, folks just putting it out there. I'm getting pretty i'mbarish on the wall, so we better be bullish on the economy, that much is for sure. We got our three coming up. We'll talked about those

Russian diplomats got expelled. Russian diplomats expelled from Albania, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungry, Italy, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. It's a whole bunch over a dozen, including the U. S and Canada. It doesn't more than that. So we will talk about that coming up here in just a few minutes. And also the best defense for a French waiter being fired I've ever heard, what is it? Hope

to stay with me? I'll let you know he's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the never stops. You are now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All visitor programs must be kept strictly. Need to know Team Bucket is cleared and ready for the buck brief. Today President Trump announced the expulsion of dozens of Russian intelligence officers from the United States, along

with the closure of its consulate in Seattle, Washington. This is the largest expulsion of Russian intelligence officers in the United States history. The United States takes this action in conjunction with our NATO allies and partners around the world, in response to a military grade chemical weapon attack on the soil of the United Kingdom by Russia. There you have a US Ambassador to Russia, John Huntsman, laying out the actions taken earlier today by the administration to show

their displeasure with what happened in the UK. Were just believe that the Russians poisoned really what would have been a defector, That's what we would have called the Cold War terminology, a former Russian who had gone over to the U K's side, poison with with a nerve agent Novachuk,

which is a signature Russian nerve agent. So unless they have some explanation for how something that only the Russians have and therefore could use got into the system of UH Screepall and his daughter, then we know it was the Russians, right realistically, So this is major diplomatic pushback from the United States, and it's from UH, not just the US, Canada and a dozen other countries. So this this is significant. I will say this is the first

time that I have seen since Trump became president. Even some of his most stalwart detractors, I mean, even some of his most critical people on the national security side, they're saying, Wow, this, this is this is meaningful. This is in the world of diplomatic action and diplomatic response to events around the world. This is strong. This is not nothing. And I had to note that there's this huge narrative out there. We've been told for so long

that Trump is the Kremlin's puppet, that Russia. Well, what you just had Brennan, the former CI director, and look, I I I took him to the wood shed on this one, as I should have, because what he said was really disgraceful, or what he suggested it's even worse.

It's it's so oh leaguenness and slimy and unctious. But his suggestion that oh, you know, maybe the Russians have something on Trump is meant to feed into this narrative that you hear that the Russians own Trump, that the Russians are calling the shots in this White House because they've got something on them. And people that I know in the media believe this, they really do. It's astonishing,

but they do believe it. And Now when you have reactions being taken by the administration, by the President United States that are going to annoy the Russians. I mean, this is this is US in a in a dozen countries and Canada that are all expelling Russian personnel. Uh And that comes at a time when we also have had the ratcheting up of more sanctions. We've had the Muller probe that indicted a bunch of Russians, including some very some with very close ties to Putin and the Kremlin.

And we're we're going after their the Russian spying capability, and we're holding them accountable for their actions abroad. And this is this is exactly exactly what if you had a mainstream, main you know, down the middle, Republican or Democrat administration that was not Trump, the advisors would likely be requesting, pushing forward, demanding as their response to recent

Russian actions. We've got Trump sending and start to look at the scoreboard, right, you got Trump sending sniper rifles and anti tank missiles Javelin anti tank missiles to the Ukrainian National Army to fight against Russian back separatist Obama wouldn't do that. That's too aggressive. You got Trump with more sanctions against more Russians than at any time during the Obama administration. You have now the expulsion of diplomats and really in this case, uh uh, the most since

the Cold War. And this this is sending a This is sending a message and it's taking action. And here you have it. Um. You know, the UK alone expelled twenty three Russian diplomats after the screen Pall attack or screen Pall is the guy that got poisoned with a Nuva chuck. But now you've had a whole bunch of others that have also gotten in on this and trying to pressure Russia. Look, we do want to change in

Russian activity. It would be nice if Russia would take a less aggressive and just generally less problematic posture towards us on a whole bunch of on a whole bunch of issues towards our and towards our interests. Really, you know, people have focused so much on the election interference because it suits their political narrative. The fact the matter is that what Russia has been doing, I mean, that's all

just j V crap, that's nonsense. Well, Russia with the sock puppets in the Facebook, the algorithms and the stuff. The truth is that the Russians, with their actions in in Syria and Ukraine, and you know, they're doing things that are destabilizing in parts of the world where we have at least a national security interest um and perhaps

even more than that. Syria, for example, we have US troops that are now in contact, including the lethal interaction from a few weeks ago where we bombed two bombed the Russian paramilitaries and kill a whole lot of them. So we're we're seeing an administration that's taking actions against Russia that are stronger than what was done in eight

years of the abadministration. And one thing you'll see is that at some point that just becomes too much of a stretch to push this narrative about how Trump is Putin's puppet, and they're never gonna They're never gonna say we were wrong, we're you know, we we went too far with this, We're sorry. No. No. Being a mainstream

medium means never having to say you're sorry. They'll just keep on riding this for as long as they can, and they'll keep pushing on this for as long as they can until it finally becomes an untenable position for them, and then they'll just switch to something else. And maybe at that point the story won't be nearly as much about Russia collusion, because Trump will be more effective at punching back at Russian Russian government policy than its predecessor

Obama was. But it'll you'll see that the storyline will just become more and more about obstruction and about you know, payments that were made or something there. They'll have another way of you know, Trump is going down, he's an illegitimate president, he's a bad guy, all the rest of it.

At no point, I think will you hear from any of these, any of these being journalist outfits that have been running with this Russia Russia story, and one of the big ways they push it is to say that Trump is so friendly to Russia, he never condemns Russia, so you know, in Russia's pocket and all this stuff. At no point do I think you'll see them admit that if it wasn't a hoax, it was pretty close.

If it wasn't fake news, it was false news. There's a dishonesty at the root of what they've been pushing and what they've been saying, and that they will never confront it because it would mean looking at their own biases understanding, how is it that CNN, how is it that MSNBC can run story after story about how Trump will never confront Putin and he's just so warm and fuzzy and sweet towards Putin all the time except when it really matters, except when it actually comes to policy.

And then all of a sudden, you have this recognition among a lot of people the media that Trump is willing to punch back against anybody. Well, what could the Russians really even have that would stop this president from doing what he wants and uh, pushing back at anybody who who challenges him on the world stage. The whole thing is just it's just bonkers. It's just not based

and not based in their reality. So now there's the other part of this that I didn't really get into, and maybe it's something we'll address later on the week. And that's just what's the Russian response to this gonna be? You know, we keep coming at this from the Okay, you know, we're ratching up the pressure. Well that that is a two way street. The Russians have ways of

making our lives more difficult. I'll note that the I think, uh, the I know was the former US commander in Afghanistan, General Nicholson, had said that the Russians are just directly aiding the Russians are directly aiding the Taliban and Afghanistan. Uh, that would not surprise me in the least. I think he. I think he mentioned it again this week, But if

he didn't, doesn't even really matter. I'm telling you that the Russians have ways of making our lives more difficult abroad, you know, and doing it in such a way that their fingerprints aren't clear enough on whatever they're doing that we can hit them back publicly. So don't think that this is just gonna be us taking swings, taking free shots at the Russians. The Russians are they're you know,

Putin and his crew. They're a cag bunch. So well, the way we're gonna talk about Obama, he had a a comment about, well, you're gonna have to hear it. Actually it's a very Obama comment. You have to hear it. Stay with me after the break, we'll get right to it.

After I left office, what I realized is that, uh, the Obama Foundation could potentially create a platform for young ut them coming leaders both in the United States but all around the world to come together and meet together, create a digital platform where they could exchange information on an ongoing basis about projects that were they were working on. Uh, and that if I could do that effectively, then you know, I would create a hundred or a thousand or a

million young Barack Obamas. There. Obama still still out there, still a force, my friend. Do not think for a second that he is uh, he is not going to be a voice literally that you're gonna be hearing for the years to come. And I just had to note that. There you have it. You have Obama saying that you know, he's working on creating a million, a million young Barack Obamas. Because what could the world need more than a guy who wrote two autobiographies by the time he was is

uh forty something, not one, but two autobiographies. I think that's I think that's quite telling. I really do. Didn't spend all that much time in the state Senate or the Senate Senate, the National Senate before making a presidential run and just happened to hit a lot of hit a lot of different area is the right time and became the president for eight years. But don't think that you're not going to be hearing from Obama for for

the foreseeable. He's gonna round. But could you just imagine for a second, if I could, if you heard from Hillary and she's like, my project is to create a million little Hillary's. I think some of you might have some kind of shock induced seizure or something you might not be able to handle that you might have a real problem. Um, if you heard that Hillary was planning

to create a million little hillary is out there. But don't don't forget, my friends, that Obama as we go closer to the midterms, is going to be a voice that is weighing in and will be treated with the utmost reverence by the media, and is going to be a factor in who people vote for and what they're well, at least amongst some Democrats in trying to get the

enthusiasm going. It's pretty astonishing to me at this point that they're going to run a campaign or they're gonna run on an anti Trump celebrity meme campaign from the mid term mid terms. That's what it's gonna be. So it's just Trump is terrible Trump is basically Hitler. Uh, you know, the Me Too movement and the Women's March and the gun marches and all this stuff. It's going

to be activism. It's going to be a big effort among Hollywood and among media left types, and then, uh, you know, then we'll we'll see if it's if it's enough, and we'll see how that all shakes out. I'm I'm worried. I'm worried because you know, they're they're already seeing i think, fractures because of all the things I've been talking about, because the problems with the Omnibus bill and the lack

of wall funding. Every they're they're seeing places to exploit the Republican Trump coalition and try to find those fissures and look at ways that capitalizing on the seams that have been created in this whole process. But I'm I'm I'm worried about it. I'm not gonna lie. I am a little bit concerned here about how this is all gonna go. But you're gonna hear from don't. I wish I could tell you it's all gonna be okay, folks.

But we're gonna to see, Uh, this is right now a tough i'd say, a tough news cycle, a tough week or so for the administration when we have all the all the reason the world. You expect that Trump would have been willing to fight on that omnimous ability. Didn't. And you know, the left, if they can make it about Trump the person and not Trump the agenda, who

knows how the midterms are going to go. If they can turn this into some kind of a food fight over gosh, Darry even say, the moral authority in American politics. I think the Democrats are so hypocritical that it's laughable that they would go at that. But that's possible. At least you may see them try to make this about just how terrible Trump is and we can't have this anymore.

Return to civility. Oh you're you'll see all the all the most uh completely abused terms in our political lexicon will make a big comeback now because they think that will be useful in defeating Trump. So I will stay I'll stay focused on all these things. I just I really just want to play that audio creating a billion little Obamas. By the way, Obama would think that's great, you know, if he could clone himself a million times over.

Remember he was also the guy who said that, you know, just give him the ball, and that he knows more than all of his policy advisors on every issue. And I wanted to ask at the time when the media was saying, oh, yeah, of course he does. Really, you know more about agricultural subsidies than the Department of Agriculture chief. Really, you know more about archaic trade agreements than the the head of the Department of Commerce and your administration. Really,

you know more than all your advisors. That's doesn't speak well with your advisors, or more to the point, with Obama. Just goes to show that the uh, the narcissism, the self indulgence, and the sense of grandiosity that Obama had has set a standard that can never be uh can never be exceeded. I think I think Obama's self regard was as high as it is possib able for any human being to to have, including Trump. I don't think that Trump is a bigger fan of himself than Obama

was of himself. And so that's one of the reasons that now we don't have a lot of a lot of the Trump folks when they hear his uh, well, I mean his supporters, they hear a kind of a braggadocious, uh, you know, a salesman like approach, and we're all fine with it, because if we had to be told for eight years that Obama was the greatest genius who have ever worked in government anywhere in the history of the planet, I'm not I'm not gonna get too upset about Trump

saying that his crowd sizes are really big and he's a great negotiator. I can handle that. I think that that's uh, that's fair to say. So we'll see. We'll see what roll Obama plays in this mid terms. As the outside voice of the previous administration and also a lot of senior Obama officials, former Obama officials, you can expect them to be making making their way onto see ann An, MSNBC and elsewhere, doing everything they can to try and push a certain p O V certain point

of view there. All right, I'm gonna tell you about a French waiter who's got a fantastic defense for being fired, and and then some other stuff about my weekend that involved I got nothing to do with the French waiter, although I've been around a lot of snooty French waiters in my day. Um, I went to see some live comedy. We'll get into that and then roll call because I like roll call. I like getting into some of the roll call stuff. We want to hear from all of you.

So that's what we got coming up. Stay with me. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back. Well, this may be the most French waiter thing to say of all time. My friends. Ah, yes, Munami bonjeur buck is, where's my music? I want some tunes? Oh yes, a fee and Wrench music. Carl the unit comes. Um, I just picture myself. We did got was in one side of the mouth and salty words for all of you and the other because French waiters, they approached the job

with the as certain the degree of attitude. And so this French waiter, this is a report on the Yahoo news. The French waiter was fired for being aggressive, rude and a disrespectful. But he says he's not out of line, He's just being French. And you know what, if I was on that jury, I would not convict. The man's got a point. You hire a French waiter, you get a French waiter. You can't fire a French waiter for

being rude and disrespectful. That's the whole point. If if if the waiter shows up and he's French and he's not like you have not read the man. You you don't even know that. Why list what? You don't waste my time and walks past you. You're not getting the full experience. I mean, have you been to Parry, my friends, That's the way it is over there. Would you like some ketchup for your French fries and everything else? Because you put ketchup on everything, you know. That's the way

they That's the way they roll. They are trained. You know what I mean. This is you can't get mad at a thing for for being what it is. French waiters have a certain way about them. And this waiter up in Montreal or server should I know see French guys. They'd be like, I'm a waiter, don't give me the server. I'm a waiter. Um, they don't care. Yeah, this guy was he was actually at a what oh Garson? No, no, no, no, you don't call him garson. Actually Garson means boy. They

do not like being called garson. I'm just I I understand This is like what they teach people from French textbooks in the seventies. But I'm telling you do not ever want to give like the snap snap and Garson. That's very uh. That is a no note. Then they actually will spit in your vicious wase what do you call him? I saw him was speaking your vicious wise. I will take over your American play the food and to make it my own. So yeah, this is UH. This is what happened to this guy reminds me of

the way of UH. And this is what I wanted to talk about in this among our closing segments here. I went to see a live comedy show over the weekend with my associate from Fox News as the mc slash. One of the acts Jimmy Faylor. I think somebody you've heard him. You're on the show before. He did some stand up and I went. I brought Miss Molly and my little brother, and he brought his significant other, his his girlfriend, and the four of us went. We saw

Jimmy Phayla. He was very good. And this was at a comedy club here in New York. By the way, I thought it would be kind of I always think of comedy clubs like Seinfeld where there's like twenty people. A guy may be passed out in the corner and like nobody really almost like an open mic night. No, this was like two people in the room, maybe more sitting at tables reservations only like it was. It was a really it was. Yeah, there was a line of

people to get in. It was a real thing. And they had some very they had some very good, very good acts. It was at Gotham on on twenty three year here in New York City. And I will say that live live comedy when you're there, I hadn't been in a long time. It is, Uh, it's pretty great. It gets you laughing really hard, it's really entertaining. It's really fun. And I we had a great time. Of the comedians that when other than Jimmy, who was great, but he was introducing everybody else, so he had kind

of a different role. But you had two comedians. One was a woman African American female. I forget what her her last name was brown and I can't remember what her first name is now. And another guy who last name was tarraldo Um I remember it was like rhymes with Haraldo and uh. They were both excellent. They were like making laugh so hard that it kind of hurt a little bit, and then that makes you even laugh a little harder, because like this is so crazy. I'm

laughing so hard my stomach hurts. But I gotta say I've I do TV and radio and different I do live speeches sometimes. Hey remember that for those of you who are booking your next event. Uh, but I could stand up comedy. I have a whole other level of respect for that for those guys, because I'll tell you something a little There was a little little guy. He was a little in the small side, which I'm just describing him. You know, it doesn't doesn't mean that this

effect of this comedy one or the other. But he was a particularly a slight fellow. And he he he bombed. He bombed in the way that he got up there and he's like am I Am I done yet? And try to walk off the stage, and and then he wasn't done, And it was like like, once you've done that, it's like, oh, so you're yeah, you're the guy who's on the first date who's pretending his friend is calling him, and then we actually hear your mom's voice on the voicemail.

Oh and yeah, that's not that's not good. So he I don't know, that's like a that's a nightmare. Man. I could not imagine being up there and just like, hey, I just flew in from Cleveland and boy or my arms tired, you know, uh yeah, and this the room, the crickets chirping. It was. That's a tough one. So we had some great We had a great time. It was a lot of fun. And live comedy is fantastic. But I don't know how people do it when they get up there and just just bomb. I don't know

what else to say. I guess maybe it's it's character building. I would say that for the guy. I won't name him here because I don't want I don't want to name in shame the guy who bombed at the Gotham this past weekend. But Jimmy was great and the rest of the we're great. And that's my plug for going to see a live comedy show near you. Soon we

got a roll call coming up, team, I'll be right back. Well, I missed you all over the course of the weekend because I did not get to do a radio show, and so that's why I'm very excited to hear from you and share your thoughts via some roll call. Team Buck, it's time for roll call. I feel like the classic rock is the most popular of the roll call variations

we have. Some of you are very very partial to the dub step techno style roll call, but some of you absolutely hate it, which is pretty much the way people feel about dub steps. So I guess that makes sense, right. You're either like, oh, feel that funky base or you're like, what is this noise? Why are people pretending that a seventeen year old playing around on a laptop making weird electronic noises is somehow music? But I digress. All right, here we go, um, let's get in. Oh gosh, so

many messages, so many. I appreciate all of them. We got Steve here, he writes. Oh and by the way, I remember Facebook dot com slash buck sex and if you want to send us your thoughts, we will read them on the show or official Team Buck at gmail dot com. Steve with our first entry here, shields Hie, would you please post the article referred to on plant parenthood and the ratio to other healthcare clinics. I keep searching for it, but cannot find it. On the show,

it sounded like great objective factual information. Please share a link that was actually from a Twitter account that had been shared publicly. Steve not an article, and I cannot remember at the top of my head who did it. But if you go back and listen to Friday show. On the podcast, I mentioned who put out those tweets, and I I can't ear the top my head. I think it's someone either from the Daily Wire or the Federalist was the author, but I'd have to go back

and check. So there you have it. Uh. Next up here, um, we have Steve, who writes Hey buck Son. Please check out Netflix Mind of a Chef series. It's a documentary of young famous chef's philosophies, creative processes, et cetera. You're a foodie, so I think you'll love this, you know, Steve, there was a I think Chef's Table was a series on Netflix that I watched a little bit of. I can only take so much of the cooking philosophy before I kind of turned into like, I want to eat

the one. I want to actually eat this stuff and not just look at it and too you know, it is just food. So I don't like to get too far into it. It's it's artisans, it's craftsman. I get that, but it is also food. You know, we're not They're not caring cancer. But I will check it out just because of your recommendation, William writes, I watched He's not stuff here. He writes, I watched wind River because of your recommendation. Apparently Hell or High Water was written by

the same guy. Both great movies, lots of character development followed by a sudden explosion of violence. Great new action flick dramas. Hell or High Water is full of great quotes. Oh, the same guy made Cicaria. Well, William, I'm glad you appreciated the recommendation. Wind River is very good, powerful, and can be a little depressing. But I think it's a very well made movie for what it is. And I have not seen Hell or High Water, but I have I will be honest, I have heard mixed things, William.

I will add it to my list and I'll try to check it out. H James. Next up, he writes Buck listening to Friday Show and Roll Call regarding the gluten free Eucharist. My home parish brought it up after Mass if you have a gluten allergy, bring it to the attention of the priests before and they will have the gluten free Eucharist for you. Shields high and happy Easter.

Thank you, James. I do know that as an option, and I also know that there's some pushback from people who say that it has to be you know, uh, that that there's some problem with trying to do with gluten for Eucharus. I'm just telling you. People have said that there's there's issues, but I will I will bring

it to the attention of the priests. This Sunday is not a good time to do it because they're gonna be quite busy with Easter um, but at some point I will work on this and thank you for your thoughts. Daniel rites Hey Buck love the new intro song to roll Call See There We Go. I also very much agree with you about taxes being very difficult. I had to fill out my own for the first time, and it was a very long and confusing experience because we did not know which forms I had to fill up,

but we eventually got through it. Well, Daniel, I'm glad you got through it. And yet they are they're annoying taxes are a pain in the butt and they shouldn't be, and it's really wrong that they are. The reason taxes are so difficult is one the government's involved, which makes everything more complicated. And two there's a lot of shenanigans in the tax code. They're meant to benefit certain people.

So that's why I asked me so complicated. Otherwise we can have it be pretty straightforward, right, But people want their cutouts, their carve outs. Everybody wants their goodies, and everybody else wants to pretend that the other person's goodies are not so good. Um. Next up here we have Roger, who writes buck um and with David Hogg, I hate the way we infantilized teenagers in our culture. Whenever someone says he's only eighteen, reply with their eighteen year olds

at Omaha Beach and Guadalcanal Shields High. Roger, I agree that the whole adult versus teenager thing we're talking about eighteen year olds is people play games with that terminology for their own purposes, and eighteen year old is an adult, and you know, an adults as an adult for all purposes. I think adults should be able to drink. I think the twenty one year old drinking age is complete nonsense.

The people was talking about insurance for rental cars, Well, that's a private sector decision based upon risk factors that go into whether you're gonna rent a car to somebody or not. I would just note that theither that that's separate from the government mandating something as a federal law. And I think that when you're eighteen or eighteen, you're an adult for all intents and purposes, and so yes, um, but when people say he's only eighteen, they're just referring

to a lack of life wisdom. I'm not saying that David Hog or any of these others don't have a right to say what they're saying. I'm not saying that at all. I've never said it, And I'm not saying that they can't be taken seriously because of their age. I'm saying, based on what they say and the knowledge and experience they bring to bear, they should not be taken seriously, and and on that I am just correct,

if I may say so. So next up we have Dwayne who writes following, devoted listener to your podcast, Buck, I appreciate the work you put in I'm writing in regards to Kyle kashev Uh. While I appreciate his views in the Second Amendment and the measured approach he takes in articulating those views, I can't help but find it's somewhat hypocritical of many pro Second Amendment people to push

him out front so often. All I have heard since the anti Second Amendment students from the park Line shooting became such media darlings is that we shouldn't even be listening to those kids. They're too young and too emotionally affected to have legitimate, reasonable opinions on gun policy. But when Kyle as bows the views we like and agree with, he's pushed to the forefront and in front of the cameras.

I don't think we can have it both ways. Either we have to admit that the pro and Antisecond Amendment students have legitimate views, even if we disagree with some, or we have to stop listening to all of them, including Kyle. The Second Amendment students are too young and inexperienced talk about gun policy, then so is Kyle. We need to choose a position with students. I agree, Dwayne. I would just say this, Uh that you're gonna have students as the most effective response to the students that

are already getting a platform. So that's why people are putting them forward. It's it's kind of like the response to what's going on, more so than the organized effort on the right. Um. But it is true that you can't just discount somebody because of their age in one case, but then in another say, well I like what he or she is saying, so the age doesn't matter. UM. I think that the the kids who represent themselves as the Parkland you know, the Parkland student activists, UH, comport

themselves very poorly. I think they say stupid things. I think they're disrespectful, and I think they're damaging to public discourse. And the media has been using them as tools for their own purposes. So that's that's what I'm saying. I mean, if they came out and they were brilliant and effective in bringing people together to talk about real solutions, I'd say, well, you know what, this is really positive. Um. But they don't know anything. And that's not surprising because they're eighteen.

If they knew a lot, though, I wouldn't care that they were eighteen. But they don't know anything, So there is that. Let's see we have Michael who right Shield's eye brother, listening on w p T. I, Hey, what's up one of our affiliates getting a shout out here? You know the problem with David Hogg, or the problem he hasn't confronted yet an articulate second moment supporting combat veteran in a public debate. The media will never let

that happen. Well, Michael, I agree, And speaking of Kyle Kashchev, he tweeted, and I actually retweeted it over the weekend that he'd like to have a televised debate with David Hogg. I think that's a great idea. I don't see how CNN and the rest of them can step away from that without looking a little bit like bark buck buck buck bark. Because they're giving the platforms these kids. They're

saying we should listen to them. Why shouldn't they be subject to debate and discussion and some degree of public cross examination. I would be very interested to see what Kyle Kashchev and this Mr Hogg have to say to each other. And I think it's a it's a great I look, they're welcome to do it. On this show. I'll have them both on. We could have Kyle Kaschev and David Hogg debate here and I would just moderate the time because obviously otherwise I'm gonna be taking sides.

Unlike CNN, I don't pretend that we're having a down the middle discussion. And then I just ambushed. I ambush the conservative all the time. That's their game. Um, this is a conservative show. That's how I do things. And there you have it. So, uh, that's my offer for the day. I'm I'm gonna have to close up the shop tonight, which makes me sad, but I think it makes me happy is That'll be back tomorrow. Every day after that, same time, same place. Please do download the podcast.

Would love to have some more folks as subscribers on iTunes. Just the Buck Sexton Show pretty easy to remember. I have a feeling it's going to be a a particularly feisty and festive news cycle this week. So strap in, my friends until tomorrow. Oh shield, Hi,
