Power Hungry Democrats

really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again, the buck Sexton Show begins as Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Everybody, quite a day to day, quite a day. Indeed, we have more information about General Flynn and what happened to him. And we also have the at least for now final results in of the whole Cohen Michael Cohen trial, right, the chief advisor to President, chief legal advisor President Trump in his

private life for many years. But the Flynn, the Flynn request for leniency today which was followed with the court. Does a MAMO read through it today? And we'll also be joined by Andy McCarthy later to work through some

of us. I mean, this is this is appalling It's disgusting what these Hillary Clinton loving leftist deep state petty tyrants have done here to a good man who didn't service country for like a day here or there, thirty years multiple combat zone deployments against all odds, is an early friend to President Trump in the campaign, joins with Trump and then becomes the National Security advisor, and they just can't take it, they can't accept it, so they

decide to go after him. I remember General Flynn went and he had his show, I mean his book, Field of Fight. We had him on this show early on the campaign, but people didn't think that the Trump administration was ever going to be a thing. He was right there alongside the president and that's where and he gave the president national security credibility, which the left just hated.

And the establishment, you know, and the kind of centrist quasi republican democrats, you know, people of the kind of commist ilk if you will, those who have claimed to be Republicans but really are no meaningful way conservative or limited government constitutionalists. They're really just establishment terians. They hated Flynn, and now we see what they did. Now we have a better sense of just how it is that they set him up. Make no mistake about it. This was

a setup, okay. This was they intended. They intended to get the result they did, which was a criminal prosecution of the incoming national security advisor. Right away. This is from the court document from Flynn's legal team, and none of these facts are in dispute. None of this is me just guessing, spitballing. No, no, this is a matter

of record. Here is what they did to this American patriot as payback for being a part of the movement that stopped Hillary Clinton from inflicting herself that just corrupt lying roneist from inflicting herself upon us for another eight years. This is from the document file in court today. Quote

at twelve thirty five pm. On January twenty four, twenty seventeen, the first Tuesday after the presidential inauguration, General Flynn received a phone call from then the Director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, on a secure phone in his office in the West Wing. General Flynn had for many years been accustomed to working cooperation with the FBI on matters of

national security. He and mister McCabe briefly discussed a security training session the FBI had recently conducted at the White House before mister McCabe, by his own account, stated that he quote felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down with General Flynn to talk about his communications with Russian representatives. This was a conversation among government peers. This was supposed to be people on the same team talking, and now we don't have a transcript

of what McCabe. Oh, by the way, a multiple liar under oath and therefore should be multiple felon who wants to guess whether they'll be criminal charmed is filed against McCabe by the DOJ. I'm guessing no. But he lied. He liked three times. According to Inspector General. He lied under penalty of perjury. Why isn't McCabe, Oh, that's right, McCabe won't get prosecuted because this is all about getting Trump.

This is a disgrace. It's disgusting what these people are doing to this administration and by extension, to all of the people who voted for this administration, who believe in it and hope for the best for our country. As a result of Donald Trump's win over Shillary Clinton, General Flynn was made to believe that he was just having a normal casual talk as the National Security Advisor with

subordinate federal employees. I'm sure McCabe said something to belong. Yeah, you know, there's this thing about you and the ambassador. Let's you know, let's just let's just sit and just you know, our guys just wanted we just need to go on the record with that. Just tell us some of the stuff and you know, no big deal, no big whoop. Okay, mister mccab's this goes back now of

the court documents. Mister McCabe's account states quote, I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between General Flynn and the agents only. I further stated that if Lieutenant General Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel, for instance, that I would need to involve the Department of Justice. General Flynn stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with agents

without any additional participants. So KG McCabe here says, look, you know, we're just we're just gonna send over a guys are gonna talk to you about this. Oh yeah, that training we did last week wasn't that great? You're so great, Gennial Flynn. You know, is we gotta have you know, our kids should go, should you know, get together. We should play little baseball in the weekend. Sometimes soon we're just gonna send over a couple of FBI guys. They just kind of talk to you about this thing.

Nobody dealing. Oh no, no no, you don't want to have lawyers there, man, that's gonna make it because then I gotta send the lawyers. And you know, we're just gonna have a talk. It's fine, don't worry about it. It'll be over in five minutes. Now you can say, well, Buck Flynn just shouldn't have Flint shouldn't lie. He should know he should. First of all, Flynn's not a law enforcement guy. Very different s guilty. He's a military man. He's about facing down our enemies on the battlefield and

you know, our side versus their side. He's not used to, you know what goes on here with these FBI types. He's not somebody who's dealing with the tools of law enforcement that often involve dissembling, lying, presenting yourself under false pretenses. And this is all set up. Remember he's not accused

of treason. He's not accused of some serious crime. The pretext for this need to talk to him in the first place is that little Resistance Payne sally Yates with their whole all the logan acting maybe the Russians can can blackmail him because he lied about the conversation with the ambassador, which they can't blackmail him over that. He'd say, Yeah, I misremembered that. Their whole premise here is bull. It's bull.

They're gonna blackmail. I'm up. You'd better tell you better give us all the secret nuclear colds or else we are growing to tell people that you you lied about your conversation about non criminal activity with the Kisel. Yet, he'd be like, all right, I just would say that I you know, I misremembered that it was a conversation on the phone. I didn't remember. It's no big deal. I didn't send uh, you know, I didn't think it was it was going to be any issue. That's that's

not blackmailable, that's not blockmailable. It's just not. But so why and the DJ would know that, So why would they say it was They're worried up blockmail. They need in an excuse this was all about the excuse to put Flynn in a situation where they could get him. They don't do You don't do this too. He wasn't, by the way, Oh let me let me get into the details here. But you know this isn't done within

the federal government to each other. Whenever, I mean, I remember I had to sit through a couple of hearings for a few different things, and MYPD side, CIA side, and whenever there was this, we got the security folks, internal watchdog folks talking to your Look, you were told, you were told. You know, they're not. They don't send some guy undercover into your office to talk to you with the water cooler and try to find out, you know, are you are you committing like time and attendance fraud

or something that that's not how they do this. All right, more into the so so, McCabe obviously tried to get the situation to be exactly what it was, which was that he sent struck McCabe a liar and a Hillary partisan, Struck an anti Trump lunatic. These are the two people that are involved in this so far, and some other FBI agent that's not yet really named or known. But he said Struck, the anti Trump freak, to go and talk to Flynn, made sure that there was no counsel

in the room with him whatsoever. You know how many you know how many lawyers when Struck, Oh, that's right. Another time when he's at the nexus here, what does the FBI only have four people? Because when you look at Hillary and you look at Trump and the key points here in these investigations, there's only a few people that seem to matter, and they're anti Trump pro Hillary maniacs. What a shock. When Struck interviewed Hillary about her emails,

she had nine lawyers at my account in the room. Okay, she had an army of lawyers with her. She was allowed to have Cheryl Mills, who was her white i mean her State department chief of staff, in the room with her, coordinating with her as her lawyer. Meanwhile, she's actually a part of the she should be a part, she should be a target of the investigation. They're treating

her like she's Hillary's lawyer. They bent over backwards to make sure that Hillary would have no problems, and they went in the complete opposite direction with Flynn and with everybody associated with the Trump That much is Claire but

hearing more about the details here that came out. This all just came out today in the Flynn in the Flynn sentencing less than two hours later, this is after the meeting FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Struck and a second I'm sorry, this is right before the meeting, and a second FBI agent arrived at the White House to interview General Flynn. By the agent's account, General Flynn was relaxed and jocular and offered to give the agents a little tour of the area around his West Wing office.

The agents did not provide General Flynn with a warning of the penalties for making a false statement under eighteen USC one zero zero one, before, during, or after the interview. Prior to the FBI's interview of General Flynn, mister McCabe and other FBI officials decided the agents would not warn Flynn that it was a cry to lie during an FBI interview because they wanted Flynn to be relaxed and they were concerned that giving the warnings might adversely affect

the rapport. One of the agents reported, yeah, they were setting him up before the interview. FBI officials also had to decide that if Flynn said he did not remember something they knew he said. They would use the exact words Flynn used to try to refresh his recollection. If Flynn still would not confirm what he said, they would confront him or talk him through it. One of the agent's reported that General Flynn was unguarded during the interview and clearly saw the FBI agents as allies. They had

the transcript. They had the transcript of what comes from counterintelligence collection that was leaked to the press, probably by one of these names we already know in this whole debacle, one of these anti Trump deep state DOJ lunatics, and then they use information from a counterintelligence investigation to try and trap the incoming national security advisor, speaking to him

under at least softened, if not false pretenses. Why would Why would if McCabe had any interest at all, any interest at all in trying to protect a decorated war hero and veterans career and reputation and life. Because Flynn's life is being ruined by this. McCabe is a decade long FBI guy. He would know. Of course, you have a lawyer in the room. Of course you have a

lawyer in the room. McCabe set him up. McCabe set him up because him and his wife wanted Hillary to win, and Struck and these other little petty tyrants from within the federal bureaucracy. They think that they're setting it all right by stopping Trump, by taking down his people, but in the process, you know, they've shown themselves to be dishonorable. These people have no honor. A person with honor would not be able to do and as senior FBI officer, would not be able to set up General Flynn the

way they did. These individuals Struck McCabe and others involved in this, Yates, comey, the whole crew. They are a disgrace to this country, and along with Brennan, they have disgraced law enforcement, the intelligence community. I don't even feel as proud of my intelligence community service as I used to, because now everybody realized that these places are run by maniacs, by left wing collectivist tyrants. We'll have more on Flynn

with Andy McCarthy. You know, I'll put all my theories, all my thoughts on this to the test with Andy, will ask what he thinks about this. He's always very fair minded, he was, He said, Okay, let's see what the Special Council does in the beginning. Never forget that Andy used to come on this show and he was willing to give them a fair shot. And now he's

about as a pall as I am. And he worked in the Southern District of New York for almost thirty years, and he used to tell me he was a hard prosecutor. You did not want to get Andy if you were guilty. He's told me that many times. We'll talk about the con sentencing today, tell you how much time he got in case you don't know, and what we can make of that. And then we got the border and the shutdown and show his jam. So stay right there, team,

I'll be back. And I will also note, with great irony, Michael Cohen well report to federal prison exactly one year after we filed the case on behalf of Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen was sentenced today. Donald Trump is next. That's right left wing hero Avanati having a let's taking a little victory lap there while while Cohen's wife and children are shattered and crying, you know, because remember Cohen didn't

murder anyone, he didn't kidnap anyone. He didn't you know, he didn't bludgeon anyone, didn't steal from anyone, lying, paperwork fraud, tax fraud, that's basic. That's basically what he's guilty of. I'm not saying that's okay, but I don't think you have to, you know, hide, hide the women and children, folks. You know, Michael Cohen's out and about, Oh no, what are we gonna do? Avanati? By the way, wasn't he

accused of felony domestic violence recently? Yeah? That guy also the one who came forward with the incredibly fraudulent claims of the third accuser, Julie Sweatneck, who was just a huge, crazy liar going after Brett Kavanaugh. That's right, she was a liar, isn't it? Isn't it good to just be able to say what's true? Doesn't it feel nice to hear what's true? Oh? Are you calling her? Yes? She was a liar? Yes, Christine blasi Ford either delusional or

a liar. Michael Cohen saying that or Michael Cohen rather got got three years three years, which is, you know, thirty six months at the pretty low end of things here. People are saying that maybe he'll maybe he'll even have more information for the Special Counsel. They're all hope, hope, hoping there's more information for the Special Counsel. I just know that Muller's trying to drag this thing out as long as possible. He at least has to wait until

the new Congress comes. And this is my thinking because because then people will forget about. When you get Pelosi and all the crazy Dems going after Trump and everybody around him with subpoenas, then Muller can That's when Muller can wind it down. Not gonna wind it down before then, not gonna wind it down before the end of January, and probably not even for a month or two into it, because he's gonna wait until the Democrats, you know, then they're the check on Trump. That's the way this is

going to be talked about. He doesn't have the goods, he doesn't have collusion. We all know it. This whole thing is I'd just call it a farce, but it's nothing funny about it. It's really just dangerous, destructive. Why did Trump have a lawyer like Cohen near him? You know, he liked the guy, and look, Colin was clearly a liability but I can understand personal personal loyalties a liability in my own life. Sometimes it's it's a thing that

you gotta deal with. So what really happened with General Flynt? Why is he now in a position after decades of serving his country, after being in multiple combat zones, after running the Defense Intelligent saying she incoming natural security advisor, and now he's begging, essentially a judge not to send him to prison. What really went down here? We've got somebody who can look between the lines and through the

lines and tell you exactly what's happening here. Andy McCarthy is with us now Scores, a Fox News contributor, also of National Review, where he's doing a lot of great writing. Andy. Thanks for coming back. Andy, you know there's so much. Let me just give the floor to you first, because I have some specifics about the Flynn sentencing request memo that's out there. I read through. I read through it today up to the point where it was all the letters of people that are saying he's a great guy.

Because okay, he's a great guy. But there were some interesting takeaways. What was your biggest takeaway? Well, obviously, one of the things that I've been complaining about since the beginning of the Flynn investigation is what was the basis for investigating him? And I think what we saw was that there was not only you know, no real basis

for an investigation. In fact, when the Senate or I'm sorry, the House Intelligence Committee looked at this, they asked a bunch of different witnesses, I think three or four different witnesses, what was to predicate for the Flynn investigation. They got three or four different answers. Nobody can nobody can seem to give a good reason for it, and that I

think shows in the way they treated him. But at the beginning, by basically deciding that they were going to orchestrate an interview that would have been in pursuit of a criminal investigation without a crime, but try to make him think it wasn't a criminal interview. It was just going to be him talking to a couple of veteran agents, no problem, just the basic information thing to clear up

a few things about Russia. And he was obviously discouraged even from involving White House lawyers, let alone his own lawyers. And it's a real departure from the FBI's normal procedures. Where when they're going to conduct the criminal investigation, everybody acts on the up and up, and they tell the person they're in interviewing, here's the reason why we're talking

to you today, that it's a criminal investigation. They make it clear to him that, you know, among other things, he's got a right to talk to council and to have somebody else's presence at the interview. That's pretty standards fair. But here they essentially, as I see it, discourage him from having any help at the interview. And is it fair in your estimation to say, and this is a conclusion that I've drawn in this, but now I feel

more strongly about it. But I want to know if I'm getting ahead of where this is that if Sally Yates helped push this along at DJ under the Logan Act theory, that that's just acting in bad faith. Yeah, I agree with that. I think fuck that. As I've said all along, the Logan Act is not only utimate reason to open a criminal investigation against anyone because they don't prosecute it. It's been on the books for more than two centuries. It's never been successfully used in a

criminal prosecution. But if you're going to dust it off and try to use it despite all the constitutional objections to it. The place not to use it, and let's make sure our listeners know the Logan Act purports to make it basically illegal for American citizens to involve themselves

in foreign relations without the government's permission. The one place that you wouldn't want to invoke it if you were going to, in a novel way invoke it, would be a situation where you have a transition official for an incoming administration who's not only the high transition official, but is actually the designated incoming National security advisor whose sub is to deal with foreign governments, among other things. And now you're going to say it's illegal for him to

be having contacts with foreign portance. That's insane. It is insane and that and we're at the insanity level here, which is I think so important for everybody to know. And with more facts, I would note this whole effort to get Flynn looks even worse. There's been nothing ever since they brought this charge that makes me think, oh wow, maybe maybe Flynn, you know, really did do something here that was egregious instead of misrememory. You know, Andy, A

question I have for you. You know, so when I was in the CIA, if I lied to somebody else in the CIA, as far as I knew, I probably wasn't going to be guilty of of of a crime. Right, So if I lied to one of my colleagues when about some issue of work, Um, you know, if I said I told the President this, and I actually didn't tell the President this, and they're not gonna they're not gonna jam me up for that. How do they draw

this line? You know, when when are you in jeopardy speaking to a federal And I wasn't law enforcement obviously in that capacity, But when when do you actually have that jeopardy in place? Because what it sounds like to me is that they made it seem like Flynn was talking as an FBI guys to just set something straight,

and so he thought he was talking to colleagues. Yeah, that's exactly right, And in fact, it's in some ways worse than that, Buck, because this is if I'm remembering right, this is like the third or fourth day on the job for Flynn. Yep, the first Tuesday after the transition, right, So he's having the you know, he's having multiple meetings as the new national security advisor. So who does he talks the deputy FBI director who wants to send over

the bureau's top counter FB and I Jagen. You know, he had every reason to think that this is a normal, you know, at that kind of level of government meeting, which was probably one of twenty he had that day on those kinds of topic. So again, I think, you know, the big deal here is if you want to have a criminal investigation on Flynn, then have a criminal investigation on Flynn, but at least go in the front door, have everybody's eyes open, tell them what it's about, and

you know, treat them like he's a normal investigative subject. Instead, they traded on the relationship that you would think high ranking national security officials would have with each other, except Flynn's thinking he's talking to colleagues and they're thinking they're conducting a criminal investigation and doing an interview that could put him in jeopardy. And Buck, if I could say one other thing about what's gone on with Flynn, which

I think maybe the most outrageous of all. Flynn is a first offender who's looking at a fairly trivial process crime for which for anybody the sentencing guidelines would be zero to six months. But on the positive side of the ledger for him, he's a heroic combat veteran of the United States who spent thirty years rendering courageous service to this country. And as a result, there's not a federal judge in America who was ever going to put Mike Flynn in jail if Mula had done nothing. Flynn

gets a no jail sentence. And the reason I point that out is, what do you see happen here? Mullah files emotion unto the serencing guidelines, asking the judge not to impose jail time, that is to say, asking the judge to do what the judge is going to do anyway. So when it happens inevitably, what is the story going to be. It's not. The story is going to be that Flynn got a no jail sentence because of the valuable cooperation that he gave to Mula's investigation. Oh, there

must be some collusion here. And they look at Mueller's filing and they see it's half rejected, and they say, oh, this must be the expulsive stuff that he gave him in order to get the get the you know, the sentencing consideration. In the meantime, the guy wasn't going to get any jail time in the first place. Yeah, it's it's it's absurd. I mean, you know, Andy, there there's

so much here. I mean, for one, you know, just just to mind my question about you know, when you're in the federal government and I had federal peers, you had federal peers. I mean, if you were sitting in a meeting with a bunch of FBI guys when you were you know, an assistant US attorney, and let's just say that you did have some kind of a memory lapse and you said something that was factually untrue, and they're asking you, you know, did you speak to witness A?

And you said, no, I don't think I ever spoke to witness A. Uh. And then if they came in a day later and said, you know, Andy, we've got a phone call record or you did speak to that witness, I mean, are you going to prison? I just I want to know, you know, when you're among peers in the federal government, what you know, if you're and you're not told it's a criminal investigation, you're not told the lawyer up, where's the line. Well, yeah, this is another

thing that's a big problem with this. Why did they

have to Flynn? Why did they have to interview him about conversations that they had recordings of I can't see since you have a recording of the conversation, they know very well whether, for example, Flynn talked to Kisliak who was the Russian ambassador about sanctions or he didn't, because they have they have the recording, right, So what's the point of asking Flynn whether he talked to Kisliak abat sanctions if they know he talked to Kisliak abat sanctions,

unless it's to try to get them to say something that's different from what they have on the recording. And ordinarily, if you were in good faith talking to somebody in a situation where you weren't trying to get them jammed up on a false statement, what you would do is it was really important to the FBI to understand the context and maybe any in unclear or ambiguous parts of the conversation between kisley At and Flynn. Why not play the conversation for Flynn and ask them what did this mean?

What did that mean? Instead, what they did was they asked him did you say this? Did you say that in connection with a conversation that they had a recording of and they knew damn well whether he had said this? Said that, Andy, can we run into a quick break and comebacks? I also want to ask a couple more about this and go into a little bit of Cohen. Do you have time? Yeah? Of course, Okay, we got more with Andy McCarthy on the flip side. Stay with us.

Are welcome back team. We've got Andy McCarthy of Fox News and National Review joining us here. As you probably know if you listen to the show, Andy was an assistant US attorney in the Southern District of New York for decades. So, Andy, before we get the Cohen issue, which of course brings the Southern District, You're old stomping ground right into the mix here, I really need to know, are we ever going to find out about this time lag between the Flynn meeting and the decision of file charges?

Are we ever going to find out what they said to him and what he supposedly lied about? And can the President just say, you know, whatever the FBI has on this, it's public now because he's being sentenced. Why not, Well, the answer to the last question is the president should unfeld any of the stuff, and it would be a good thing as he did, But yes, absolutely they can

put all of the shouts. My personal views it looking at the sentencing memo, but is that this is all about Turken And what I mean by that is the sequence of events is in January, right of everybody goes into office. So right after the inauguration, they interview Flynn and they make a decision that they're not going to prosecute him because even if there are failures of recollection, they seem to be innocent ones and he's not trying

to lie to them. In May, Mueller is appointed, and they later decide suddenly to second guess the guys who

were in the room and charging with false statements. The intervening event between those two things is this whole business about He was questioned about Turkey, as as it's played out in the sentencing memo, and one of the things they discussed there is they were pressing him on the Flynn corporations or the Flynn businesses dealings with Turkey and whether they were acting as a foreign agent without without registering.

And I think the reason that that's relevant. Is that's the only part of the sentencing memo where they talk about the Flynn business or the Flynn company. That's the

company he had with his son. And I think the natro subtle message here or there is that if they were going to pursue criminal charges on the Turkey matter because of this failure to I just or as a foreign agent, which didn't used to be up until the Moller investigation, something that the Justice Department got two whipped up about, it was going to be jeopardy not only for General Flynn but for his son and I right,

which also makes sense as to why. I mean, when you see that sentencing MAMO, it's oh, Flint takes Flint takes full responsibility, he understands, he takes full responsibility, and you know they've got a metaphorical gun to his head on this stuff. Yeah. I think that's what the Turkey stuff really is. Yeah, So so on the now, I mean, I could get into this at some point, but but will we ever find out what was said in that meeting? Are they going to try to keep that from us

in the Flynn meeting? Do you mean, are we ever going to see the FBI three OZ two the yes or whatever report or the interview they did. Unless the President unseals it, I don't see how we would see it, Okay, And now Andy on Nacoan only a couple of minutes Buck, I say, the only caveat to that is if it's relevant to the Inspective General's investigation, but I don't know about that. Now. We've been talking about the the Cohen situation here on the on the show at some length.

Obviously he got three years today, which is people say kind of at the lower end, but I mean it's it's it sounds like there's a very aggressive prosecutorial tactics being used by the Southern District, by the Special Council. So it's hard to think of there being much much

mercy involved here under the circumstances that all said. Uh, you know, you've got a lot of people running around Judge Knapps whom I like, Judge Napolitano over from from Fox, you know, saying that he thinks there could be evidence or the Southern District may have evidence of felony crimes committed by the President. What's what's your take on that? I think that, um, what happened with h. Cohen today

was pretty much standard fair in criminal cases. I mean, this was a case where the prosecutors were essentially recommending forty two months, and the judge gave the judge gave thirty six months. It's pretty common for sentencing judge to give a slightly lower sentence than the prosecutor is asking for.

So this really is within the norm of that. If there were lots and lots of information damaging against the president, what you would expect, especially if Cohen was involved in it, was they would have made him plead guilty to those instances and then he would say, here's what I did, Here's what the president did, and then they would have him, you know, in store as a witness to testify about

those transactions. Instead, what they seem to have done is strained to make the case based on the campaign finance laws, which ordinarily aren't even treated as a crime, and which here there's a pretty serious legal challenge to whether this is actually an inkind campaign contribution at all. I have to think Buck, if they had something better than that, they would have gone with something don a champaign finance violation. Real quick, Anny, we only got a few seconds here

before I to close out. Are you concerned for the president in terms of legal jeopardy. I'm done on this stuff at the moment. I mean, I think you should. He started to take it seriously. They're clearly trying to make a case on him in in the Southern District. But I think the bigger problem for him has come January. The Democrats in the House as sometina power that's gonna be very difficult to govern and there's going to be a lot of unknown out there that they're going to

be poking around in. Yeah, agreed, Annie McCarthy. Everybody check out his ladies, read nashreview dot com, and also look for him on Fox News. Andy, thanks so much for the time, my friend. We'll talk to you soon, my pleasure books. Take care. Ah Man. They did Flynn dirty everybody, that's for sure.

Point to another pair of campaign contributions that were so directly tied to the outcome. Basically fraudulently obtained the office by committing felonies. Someone who corruptly gains the office of president cannot be allowed to retain that office. Might this

be the greatest crime in American history? Might that be the greatest crime in American history? That Steve Schmidt the Martyes guile, I'm not don beat. I mean that might be might just be the dumbest thing I've ever heard on television period? Yes, yes, I think so, the greatest crime in American history. I mean a country that has had,

you know, slavery, Jim Crow, seggregation, a civil war. You know, go down the list of all the of all the terrible things, I've gone, the greatest crime in American history? And we have mass murderers, we have It's like this, this is the greatest crimeate ever. How could someone say something so stupid on cable television and be applauded for it? The answer, as we live in a time of Democrat mass delusion. This is why, this is why I play their words for you. This is so you can hear them.

I'm not the one who's sitting here talking crazy. They're talking crazy. Trump's campaign contribution the most significant ever. They are saying, well, let's let's dig into that for a moment, shall we. Mark Penn has been pointing out, among others, that Congress has been paying off sex accusers with a special funded set up since nineteen ninety eight. Here, let's work through some of the details of this play twenty

one In this return back to nineteen ninety eight. Again, a little thing happened here that they're two hundred and sixty eighth settlements in Congress, many of them presumably done during the election period. That if this was a true precedent, we'd have to lock up scores of congressmen. Lock them up. Now. That actually was taxpayer money that they use for those settlements. But those settlements, if you follow the logic of this, would be campaign contributions, which was why the logic of

this is broken. Yep, the logic is broken. And when you so, just to be clear about the details here, Congress set up a fund. It's taxpayer money Congress set aside to pay off people who accuse members of Congress

of sexual harassment in secret, so it's not public. Now, if paying off somebody who accuses you of sexual harassment is a campaign contribution, then all of these members of Congress, stretching back for about twenty years who have had taxpayer dollars, not even their own money, using taxpayer dollars to do this. That would be like their taking taxpayer dollars for their campaigns illegally. But on top of that, they did not

disclose it. So if it is a camp, if it is a campaign contribution for Donald Trump to pay off a sexual harassment or this is not even harassment, donald Trump did an harass her. Just this is just this is a straight up extortion, by the way, I mean, this is an over an, over an affair. If it's a problem for him, though, it's a problem for the

rest of Congress. By twenty two, they're going to have a problem if they push impeachment and there was a settlement in their office that could have affected one of their elections, because they're going to be asked the question, did you or someone in your office cause a settlement to be entered into sometime in the year of your election, and are you a felon? Now? If Donald Trump is a felon. I didn't like ninety eight and I don't like what's going on today for the very same reason

that you can't remove presidents for these reasons. You know, we just we just see the partisan warfare playing out and Democrats have absolutely no principles whatsoever here. And you see this from the way that they were so quick to hop on the Avanadi bandwagon. The guy is scummy, just scummy, and they're so quick to try to use

Stormy Daniels to bring down this president. And yet when you dig into the details a little bit, I do, I am waiting, and I I should have asked I we had Andy McCarthy on, I would have asked this question if I had remembered. I'll ask him the next time, or I'll send him a text message and I'll find out what I can. But how is it not extortion? Exactly what happened to Trump? Remember, there was no he's no criminal. Trump did nothing criminal, was not even a

llegs or anything criminal. With Stormy Daniels. She was just saying, Oh, basically, I'm gonna I'm gonna ruin your life and your family unless you pay me money, because I'm going to tell everybody that we had an affair, whether you believe head the affair or not. As I point out this terribly discussing. Then you look, Stormy Daniel was obviously a very damaged person, very unethical, very gross person. But this is how the media reacts to a revelation that really the president has

been extorted play clip eleven. They say Trump directed that's the word for lawyer Michael Cohen to cover up a campaign contribution in the form of payments to two women with whom he had sexual relations. Some top Republicans are dismissing the allegations that Donald Trump directed his former fixer Michael Cohen to make illegal hush money payments to two women during the twenty sixteen campaign. It's incredible to me.

This is despicable, simple private transaction in which a porn star was paid one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to keep silent in the final moments. Right, nothing simple about that. Let's remember, these payoffs are about the president having affairs with women soon after his wife had a baby. Just trying to trash there and over the stuff, just going after him. Meanwhile, he doesn't even admit the affair. He

says he didn't do it. I don't know. I well, you know, I've seen no evidence that he did it. Could I believe that he did it, shut but I've seen no evidence of any kind, and given that this wasn't that long ago, I find that very very hard to believe. But you know, you have all this puritanical streak from the left on this issue now. And I don't mean from the left general, I mean from people in the media who were around back in the nineties.

And my MainMan producer, Mike for example, pulled together a little a little montage for us here of what the Democrats were saying back when Bill Clinton was in a little trouble for Oh, that's right, as they said, lying about an affair at Play twenty three, lying about an extramarital affair does not rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. Violating a marital vial It is not

an impeachable offense. The underlying issue is about sex. Impeachment was designed to rid this nation of traitors and tyrants, not attempts to cover up extramarital affairs. Covering up a private sexual affair cannot compare to the Nixon precedent. This is a Republican coudeta. Bill Clinton is guilty of certain endiscretions in his private life. However, he did not commit

high crimes and misdemeanors. We have become the laughing stock of the entire world because a sexual scandal, perjury regarding sex is not a great and dangerous offense against the nation. It is not an impeachable offense. Not an impeachable offense. They were saying, then, who wants to guess if they will use their words from nineteen ninety eight to guide them now in their judgments about whether we currently have a president who has committed impeachable offenses? Oh, who wants

to guess? I think we're all very clear. There's no principle involved here. There is only power and the struggle for it, and that is what the left wants, and they will do anything to get it, and Trump stands in their way. Therefore, they will use any tricks, any play any dirty games, do whatever they have to do, and we are supposed to forget about the history of how they've acted in the past and allow them to just just contort the law. These are the ways that

they've come after Trump so far. It's also flimsy, and it's so desperate, and they just trick you know, the Logan Act, the Emolument's clause, you know, the tax returns the this that the paying off the FEC violations. I mean, they're just coming at them with everything they can. You show me the man, and I'll show you the crime. Lavrenti Barrier of the secret police in the Soviet Union. That is the principle at work here. In fact, you had a a the incoming the incoming state attorney general

in New York. I mean, this is really really hard to believe this is true, though. New York Attorney General elect Latitia James says she plans to launch sweeping investigations into President Trump, his family, and anyone in his circle who may have violated the law. They're saying it out loud, folks. This is the New York Attorney general. Remember, can't pardon people for state crimes. So that's why they love those New York They love getting New York state investigations going.

The incoming senior most law enforcement official for the state of New York, Trump's home state, my home state, is saying we're going after Trump, his family, and anyone in his inner circle. This is police state garbage. Did you believe that Google CEO when he was trying to tell us all on Capitol Hill that there's no bias in Google search algorithms against conservatives.

It unfortunately that the president choose to shut down the government, that we have a Trump shutdown as a Christmas present, they present to the American people, Nancy Pelosi waging a war on Christmas. You know, it's so funny. The Libs get so triggered, they get so agry when we bring up that they seem to have a problem. They do seem to have it an issue with Christmas. That that much is. It's it's apparent to me. I mean, I think they

do have problems with Christmas as a holiday. It's just not culturally. Even the ones who are who are ostensibly Christian, you know, they went, oh, got to be so inclusive, and I mean, just I won't get it right now. But for fun, read about the history of quanza. Let me read about where quanza comes from, who came up with it, and the notion of like quanza reats in

high school classrooms and stuff. It's the more you know about them when you're like, this is really I mean, it's it's really up there with you know, the you know, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster or whatever. I mean, It's not a real holiday in any in any notable sense. It's not a holiday there's any connection to any religion or anyway. M But okay, yeah, I mean you could say hanaka obviously, but you could say happy Hanaka, you can say Mary Christmas. You can say both of these things.

You don't have to eliminate one so that you're but Pelosi is like that. But all this shutdown, which will be talking more about we got, we got Congressman Louie Gomert's gonna be joining us later on this hour, which I think will be quite a bit of we'll get a quite a bit of insight. I just also just like Louie. I mean, I've I've known Louis since my early days at the Blaze, and he's just he's a really good guy. He's always fun to talk to. You know.

Senator John Kennedy is saying, for example, that he doesn't think, he doesn't think that that this shutdown is a bluff. I, as you know, have been pretty cynical about this. I've thought, oh, yeah, another oh shutdown, like they always say this. But I am very doubtful that there will in fact be a shutdown. I had been very doubtful until this meeting with Trump and Pelosi and Schumer, where he's like, oh, I'll shut

it down. Oh I'll shut it down. Senator Kennedy, ple ten, I think We're gonna have a shutdown for two reasons. Number one, President Trump does not look to me like he was bluffing or is bluffing. And number two, I don't think Speaker Pomosi is going to agree to anything because she's worried about her speakership. As far as I'm concerned, if it's shut down, it's a pox on all of our houses. I don't know politically who's gonna win or lose this. I do know that too many people are

preoccupied with the politics of it. We ought to try to figure a way out of this. I'm just saying based on what I've seen, and I could be wrong, and I hope i am, because the government shut down would would not serve the American people. Well, I don't think President bluff President Trump is bluffing, and I don't think Speaker Plosi is gonna give an inch because she wants to be speaker. And if I've learned anything up here, I hate to say it, but most people in Washington

care about their jobs first. That's definitely true. Careerism is rife here in DC, in fact, more so than I think in a lot of other places, and a lot

of other industries. I mean the industry here in the district is politics, and with that there's an unfortunately, it's very lucrative, a lot of access, a lot of lobbyists and people that are representative of different interests that are just finding ways to suckle at the government's teat This is why you have I don't even know it's five or seven now, of the top ten wealthiest counties in America per capita, per individual, per household are the ones

that are right around Washington, d C. Now, this is this is where, this is where the special sweet sauce. You can get a lot of it here in DC, A lot, a lot of honey for people that know how to get special access to the to the hive. And it's a shame if that's the case, but you know that that unfortunately drives a lot of the decision making in a lot of the way that this city functions. Also, why I just have it, you know, I'm here. It's great for my access to the people here, the politicians.

I'm on Capitol Hill, I'm over at the White House, I'm runner all over this town so I can bring you information. But man, I miss anything that's not DC. A lot of the time that all said, back to the shutdown, here is it going to be a Schumer shutdown? Part two? I mean, Schumer is really I think seething. After yesterday I read this report the President of Trump threw a folder at the wall and was so angry. I said, I watched that here, I watched that a

whole sit down yesterday. He crushed Pelosi and Schumer. I mean Pelosi was like in a daze. And Schumer looked like, you know, somebody told him, no nappy time today, you know, no nap nap, you know, can't go sleepy sleep. He was really unhappy. And here's here's the speaker and not speaker, the minority leader Schumer fifteen. President is so used to

obsequious advisor. The president is so used to obsequious advisors who fail to dispel his false and made up facts that he lives in a cocoon of his own mistruth Leader Pelosi and I had to tell him, no, mister President, that's not true. We had to puncture that cocoon. And he threw a temperate tantrum because of it. Well, the cocoon that he lives in where we should have border security. The cocoon where Democrats are trying to just demagogue the

issue of the border without actually handling it. I mean, well, I'll talk to you in a moment about I had a really interesting fun exchange today on my show. You know, I was cool as a cucumber. As I whatever I'm doing with lives, I try to be calm, you know, because it's not you, it's not worth it's not my style get you know, yell at them and everything else. I mean, I can do that, but I tend not to. But this whole notion of what is at the center

of the debate. We have the money. We can spend five billion dollars on an important government project that would that would stop a massive problem. And when you look at opioids. But you know, fentanyl is now the number one cause of overdose in America. And they're not getting it from drug stores, folks. They're getting it from cartels and from dealers. They're getting it illegally. Now there's also

a secondary black market, but that's a lot tougher. And you know, anybody who's selling on a secondary black market is really taking a huge risk because if they find out that you gave your fentanyl somebody, that person dies, you sold them illegally, you're in big trouble. I mean, you might look into manslaughter charges. So of course the cartels don't care. It's why you've got over seventy thousand people you're dying. I mean, this is a national security emergency.

The drugs are flowing over our border. It's not just about the opping people. It's also about stopping you know, forget about the caravans of people. It's the cartels and the caravans of drugs they're running into the country. It's killing seventy thousand people years an urgent health crisis, and a wall would help. And every border patrol agent I have ever talked to you, and I've talked to dozens and dozens of them in the last few years, every single one says the same thing, a wall would help.

Nobody says a wall is a complete waste of time. Nobody I've never heard. I mean, you know, you could tell me that there's someone out there who says that, who actually knows about the border, but I've never met anybody. And everybody in the San Diego border sector is like, oh gosh, thank Heaven's we have the wall in fact, they worry about the sections of the wall that aren't strong enough and aren't reinforced. That's their concern. We gotta fight now on this issue. There must be a shotdown

or a wall. And we have one fourth of the world's almost one fourth of the world's immigrants right in the United States, somewhere between forty five and sixty million. Look at countries that send people all over the world China, India, Mexico, Turkey, and they lecture people on their supposed civic duties. And then those are the countries that are least likely to allow immigrants to come in to their own nation, whether

in California or Nevada, or Paris or London. That the administrative progressive elite feel that they can take the short term on popularity because they're changing the demography. They're creating a reason for larger government subsidies, entitlements, and fealty with newcomers who don't really process themselves into the assimilation process.

And then I think they also virtue signal that they're so moral people and their wealth or their influence or their positions insulate them from the ramifications of their own ideology, so they don't put their kids in schools with fifty percent non English speakers. In a case here in California, they live in gated communities, they don't feel that they're

going to experience the downside verset ten. Instead they say racist synophobe, and that deters these people who don't really make their feelings known unless the Pew polar Pole like them ask them. Victor Davis Hansen is spot on here on immigration. I mean, look, VDH is one of the great contemporary intellectuals of our time, and in my opinion, I guess contemporary of our time or the same thing.

But you know what I mean, he's one of the great intellectuals of our day, and on the issue of immigration, he just he just gets it. You know, we have a massive immigrant population in this country, legal and illegal. We take a million every year, and whenever we want to talk about maybe a millions of love or maybe we should change something here or there, it's, oh, my gosh, you're racist. Are all changes to immigration racist? Is that the position that we're in? It? Apparently it is if

you listen to Democrats. Is the wall racist? Well, in fact, here's a perfect perfect place to trans transition into this. So today on Rise. And you know today there were two We had a panel. Usually the panel is a Republican and a Democrat. There was a mistake today in the bookings. We had two Democrats. So it was buck v. Three today on the panel. But please, I got buck fo, I got all kinds of ninja moves. I'm not worried

about it. And I sent down on this This guy actually his name is Kelly, and he is from an organization that trains and it's a pretty from one I understand, a pretty prolific organization in this field. They train people democrats. They trained democrats to run for office. So you call them and they say we'll teach you. So it's really like community organizing for community organizers and this organization and he's the head of it. He runs this organizations. He's

got some authority. So we're talking about immigration a little bit, and I just wanted to get down to first first things here, first principles for a moment. And so what is I wanted to hear from a Democrat who's very involved in you know, progressive circles and progressive politics. Why are you so opposed to a wall? And and I want you all this is from this morning. I want you all to hear how this exchange went, because it's uh, it is illuminating. Play seventeen stative American politics is And

why are they so opposed to a wall? Kelly? Why are they so opposed to a wall? We have a wall in some places. Why not build more wall? Let's see. Yeah, why are we so opposed to a wall? I said? Why are democrats? Yeah, why are they so opposed to a wall? The fundamental argument behind the wall that's made by the other party is that people are invading our country who are rapists and criminals and are threatening your very existence. A lot. That's a lot of difficulizing about

about about what people that the press pause. Notice how immediately I ask a very straightforward question, and we got we got two Democrats. They're coming in with, you know, with the exact same thing we look with the President said. The President said that there are some rapists and there are our murders coming across our border. That is a fact. That is a fact. They can try to run with this hyperliteralism of he said rapists and murders. He's saying

they're all No one thinks they're all rapists. And murders, but there are some come across the border. But forget about the rapists and murderers. The argument is for national sovereignty, we have to have control over everybody who comes in and comes out. So the argument is knock that they're rapists and murderers. But just notice how immediately this guy who trains democratic his whole life's work is training Democrat activists.

He goes to that, and then it continues on play Zach, which passed with major bipartisan support back in two thousand and six, which was law they just never funded. It was that they're offensive be a barrier on our southern border to prevent illegal entry into the country. Right, So

why is it such a bad idea? And if you want to run overshot over a bipartisan agreement and instead say we need a five billion dollar wall that needs to be put up through private property, through nature, through etcetera, etcetera, so that we keep these rapists and criminals out. That characterize as a whole group of people, immigrants that made this country great. Okay, we just pause here for a second. Think about all the platitudes that are getting thrown in here. Yeah,

we're gonna have it go through Nate. Yes, I think it's okay. I think the desert will survive a wall through it. It's gonna be okay. Uh, you know, but this is Oh, it's gonna go through private property. Okay, Well, we'll use eminent domain and we'll pay people, or we'll move the wall so that it doesn't go through their problem. We'll figure that out too, Okay. So those are just logistics concerns, but that's not a reason not to build a wall. Oh and then we go back to the

the the usual, the people that made America great, the immigrants. No, Actually, I like I like the Americans who are here, and I like the people who come here legally. I don't think that the illegal immigrants are the ones that we're gonna just sit around and say they're the ones who have made American great. But keep playing it. We tear down the wall in San Diego. I think we should do. I think this is a difference of opinion of the

best way to enforce border security. They had a border hold us that they want a wall, So I think it's interesting to hear all these democrats ahead there's no point, there's no point in having a wall I'm sorry. The head of the CIA told us that that the Crown Prince ordered the killing of a journalist. But we don't believe them. And you know, we we're gonna we're gonna pick and choose which law enforcement we believe. Good time, Seawn makes good. It a couple of things there. Yeah,

you might have heard. I said, Yeah, that's what we call a non sequitur, because that has nothing to do with any I'm talking about a wall, and nine wants to talk about the CIA. And also the CIA is not law enforcement. Fortunately used to work at the CIA, so I know these things. Um, but you know, you couldn't get a real answer from this guy. I asked him, if a wall is so bad, if a wall is racist, why not tear down the wall in San Diego? Why should we have a wall there? Oh my gosh, it's

this monument to racism. Can't get an answer. Why shouldn't we have a wall? Can't get it? Now. I can actually help him out, if I chose to, would say. You could say it's too expensive. You could say it's not effective enough based on the cost of what it would be. It's too difficult, it will take too much time. You could make those arguments. The problem as though, when they get into the efficacy argument, you know what happens

border patrol, customs, immigrations enforcement, law enforcement. You know what they say, No, no, this is good, this is good, and then they can't use this. The experts don't say we should have walls. So the answer why shouldn't we have walls? Because Democrats want a legal immigration. That is the answer to the question, and they should just say it.

When the President said to Senator Assumer, I'll gladly take that mantle, I think what he was saying is, I'll gladly and proudly take the mantle of doing what we told the voters we were going to do, which is build a border security wall. So yeah, the Freedom Caucus in particular, we took a position last night we're going to support the president the full five billion for the border security wall, and let's reform our asylum walls while

we're at it, because that will address the problem. Democrats are for open borders. Democrats want to amolishize their parties champion in the last election, Secretary Clinton, what does she run on a borderleist hemisphere. So I think it's all part of that, but the President's to day I think made it pretty daring clear he's gonna stand firm and focus on doing what we were elected to do. And I always say, we make this job too complicated. That's

a pretty basic thing to focus on. Don't get too complicated. Just do what you were elected to do. And we were certainly elected to build a border security wall. Border security, the wall, the shutdown, big issues looming right now as we head into the Christmas holiday just ahead. I want somebody who can shed light on all these things, and we've got one. Congressman Louie Gomer of the great State of Texas is with us now. Congressman Gomer, thanks so

much for joining. Of course, thanks for having me on buck. Let's just start, if I may, with the shutdown. I mean, President Trump in that meeting with Schumer and Pelosi was saying, you know, basically, bring it. I'm gonna shut this. I'm gonna shut the government down unless you guys want to fund the wall. Do you think that the GOP is with them on this? I mean, is a shutdown a serious a serious threat from either side. It is a serious threat from the president, it's a serious threat from

the majority of the Republicans. The only question remains as to whether I elected Republican leaders will have that same feeling and commitment, because apparently the President is being told, gee, if if we don't have the votes in the Senate, then there's no sense the House trying to pass it, which that sounds like the old deep state idea of when the truth is Heck, the best way to put pressure against to get the Senate to do something is

for the House to pass it. And then once the House passes it, and I'm sure we'll pass it without an anti Pelosi's vote, but once the House passes it, then we can all be doing media and help our president put pressure on the Senate to get it done. Now, there is a huge problem there and trying to get sixty votes in the Senate, but there has been a way and to get this done under reconciliation. Paul Ryan was chairman of the Budget Committee. He has done this before.

He knows how it's done. I brought it up to him weeks ago and I got a kind of an hour role. But but the truth is, there is a bill that would it just simply says we do an amendment to a budget resolution and make spending and in the bill is twenty five billion dollars. What you know it would likely or we're told it would likely cause is what we should have done, and actually what some

Democrats have voted for before. But twenty five billion is mandatory spending and all the all that it will take is fifty or fifty one votes fifty because if there's a tie, then Mike Pence would certainly support the president. So, uh, there's no reason we wouldn't just amend a budget resolution so that we could do it with fifteen fifty one votes in the Senate and have twenty five billion. If you want to only go five and get a good start, then fine, but there's no reason that we shouldn't go

ahead and pass it Congress. What is the what is the Democrat offer right now in terms of you know, what they would want signed when it comes to the border, and what is the what is the GOP requests? Well, they don't want to they do not want a wall. They do not want the president to have any kind of win at all, and they're scared to death of him being able to say in twenty twenty that ill I told you we'd get a wall built, and we built it. But they're offering what one point one point

five billion, Congressman, they're offering one point five billion? What is that money for the one point five it's supposedly to get a start going, But that's that would not be enough, and the Democrats know that that would not be enough for the President to say, look at the

wall we've built, we built it where we need it. Well, you'd get a good start, but it would still be an issue that they would beat him over the head with in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty saying, ah, look, you know he promised the wall, and they know they're going to do everything they can from keeping him from having something he can point to and say, see, don't just what was Speaker Pelosi or soon to be Speaker Pelosi?

Pardon me, but what was Nancy Pelosi talking about in the Oval office when she was saying, you don't have the votes? It seems to me that one, how does she know that? In two that defies belief, Well, she has said that before that gee that we're focused, don't have the votes, and we've surprised her own votes before when we did have the votes. So I think this would be one where we could and should surprise her again. But yeah, she was saying, we didn't have the votes

in the House. You don't have the votes in the House to do this. I think, you know we we sure ought to give it a good goal. Now, Tom Delay, when he was a majority leader, he said, you know, when I get over two hundred votes, I'm ready to go to the floor because I figure, you know, with especially if we have the president's House, when we get help. When we get to the floor, then we can get the last votes we need. So we'll see. I think that's the way to do it, you know, get get

it on the floor, get it past. But I do think it only makes sense that we pass an amended budget resolution that allows us to do it under the reconciliation process. And the only I can only think of one reason why we wouldn't do that, and that is if our own elected Republican leaders don't want to really fund even five billion four Is that on the Senate side or are you worried about some GOP House members as well? I'll send the Senate side, Oh my gosh,

the House isn't even solid on this. Well, we're solid

except for our leadership. I think, But I go back two years ago, November two years ago, when I got up at conference and I said, all right, look, nobody has signed up to run against you, Paul, but I would like to know where you stand because you have not supported a wall in the past, you have not supported a total border security, and those are the two biggest things the president ran on, So I need to know are you going to help the president get a

wall built and totally secure the border? And he said, you're not understanding what We're getting along great, And I said, no, that's not my question. My question is will you help the president get the wall built and secure the border? And he said, look, we're talking virtually every day. We're getting along great, there's no problems there. I said, that's not my question. My question is will you help the president build get the wall built and totally secure the border.

And he said, we're doing fine. You're misreading this, and then our conference chair said, the gentleman's time has expired, and so I never got an answer. My question that was two years ago, right after Thomason govern we got to run into a break in just a moment. I sure a quick question for you if we can't get this through. Whether whether the shutdown you know, doesn't go the way of the Republicans or whatever. The final dispensation of that is kind the president just order the military

to do this. How does that work? Well, you know, actually Bucky laid the groundwork earlier this year when he said this was a national emergence. See, and for heaven's sake, we had this massive caravan coming. It really was an invasion. We know that there were more people killed in the last year from the drugs. Most likely they came through or from Mexico, the drug cartels. And that's as horrible

and deadly as Vietnam was. That's more deaths of Americans than we lost in Vietnam in the whole Vietnam War. So he would have every legitimate basis for claiming it is a national emergency because it is. It is an invasion because it is, and with that he can use the military however he needs to to stop this national emergency, stopped the invasion. Congressman Louis Gohmer to the Great State of Texas.

Leave no stone unturned, hapless ever

changing band of ministers. We're out on the airwaves assuring us that there would be a meaningful vote tomorrow before this latest twist, this sort of premature parliamentary ejaculation, that's put the light to the claim blood. She sticks to her gun when she won't even tell us when the vote is deferred to, and he indepaired that the lady is returning, How can we or anyone trust anything? She

says again, I'm trying to say, the honorable lady. If she looks carefully, I think she'll see that I'm not capable of a parliamentary ejaculation. WHOA, the range is hot on the flora Parliament there in the UK. That was the Prime Minister Teresa May, responding to a member of Parliament there you heard. The exchange was spicy, what's going on with Brexit? What's going on in the UK? And maybe a little time for the yellow vest if we've got it, We've We've been joined by our friend Rahiim Kasam.

He is formerly an advisor in Nigel Farage. He's also a Claremont Fellow author of No Go Zones. Raheem, what's up my friend? Hey buck? How you do it? I'm all right, man, I mean it looks like the MP's at least get to have a bit of fun on the floor of Parliament there, what is the ladies? I mean, we know, actually we've got sound here. Theresa May just barely held on to her seat. Play that clip, guys.

As a leader of the Conservative Party. The number of votes cast in favor of having competence and Terisa May was two hundred and thea was one hundred and seventeen. Under the rules set out in the Constitution of the Conservative Party, there's no further confidence vote can take place at all, right, so she raheim so that the British PM survives a no competence vote. Brexits at the heart of this. What the heck is going on? Yeah, I

think where's the start? I mean. Theresa May was nearly prematurely ejected as the Prime Minister today after forty eight members of her own governing party, the Conservative Party, put in letters to the head of what's called the nineteen twenty two Committee, which sort of governs the rules inside the Conservative Party. They didn't think she was doing a good enough job with Brexit. It triggered a no confidence vote and she won that vote today amongst her own

parliamentary party. So she hangs on and as you heard in that clip, they can't challenge her for another twelve months. But what this means for Brexit specifically is that you now have a bad deal that she's negotiated where we end up paying the British end up paying sixty odd billion dollars into the europe into the European Commission's coppers, and what we get in response is basically nothing in return.

And you'll forgive the noise. In the background, I have some policeman doing wheelings in front of the move back. I'm gonna say, are you writing a tuck tuck somewhere? Are you in Southeast Asia? What's going on here? It's absolutely gisarreb. Outside of the Trump International itself, there's a policeman doing wheelies in front of me. Right, he saw

a man of action. Everybody international man of mystery. So you know, right here with the Brexit thing, people in this country we look at what's going on in Europe mostly and we take it as either cautionary tales or maybe inspiration or some combination of the two for what's going on here. Right, that's why Europe tends out. Plus you know, you guys, you're you're kind of our cultural

forebears and all that stuff, so we appreciate that. But you know, Brexit move the markets here earlier in the week, people were all freaked out about it, and is the long and short of basically that the elites in the UK want to find a way to just override the referendum that they didn't that didn't go their way. Well, not that they wanted to find a way, they actually have found a way. And it's at the point now where you don't even have a deal or no deal scenario.

Remember this is what we were talking about months ago, that we'd either get this really bad deal that Theresa May was offering us, or on the March twenty ninth deadline when we're supposed to leave the European Union, we get no deal and we were revert to World Trade Organization rules. Well, then no deal scenario looks off at the table now, so we either get a bad deal or a slightly less bad deal. And that's what Theresa

May and her romaniac colleagues as we call them. They they've orchestrated this over the last two years then it looks like they're about to actually get a great victory in favor of the EU over Britain. So no sovereignty back, very few immigration controls back. We end up paying massive amounts of I mean tens of billions of pounds into

European Commission scoffers. No negotiation over our fishing waters, which was a major part of the break to campaign as well, getting back our sovereign right to fish unquoted in our own waters, in our own territorial waters. And none of this has happened, so breaksit now looks to be not breasit at all, And when March the twenty ninth rolls around, it looks like what we're going to have instead, it's sort of what they call associate membership status of the

European Union, which is the worst of both worlds. You take their rules, you give them cash, but you don't get any representation in the Council of Ministers or in the European Parliament. Wow. So the elites in the UK and their infinite wisdom have effectively managed taxation without representation in the biggest supernational body in the world. As exactly what has happened and how I keep describing it, and it's been unfortunately not just Theresa Ma's fault. It's the

Conservative Party's fault. You know, I spend a lot of my time here in the United States, and I understand that the Republican Party has a lot of rhinos within it. Well, we have a Conservative Party that is almost entirely constituted of Conservatives in name only, and it's going to end very badly for the party over the next two to five years when their will that have to be another general election and people scratch their heads and say, well,

why would vote for this Conservative Party anyway? And you know who's the leader in waiting if if that happens, it's the hard left Jeremy Corbyn, who's the leader of the Labor Party. He's sort of akin to your Bernie Sanders. Man. That does not sound good. We're gonna we're gonna help. You have to help our our brothers and sisters have written out if it goes that way, because the taxation

without representation. Then you add on top of that a little dose of Sandernista socialism, things that things are going to get rough. I just wanted to do what your thoughts ring him on on the latest also on the yellow vests, these protests kinda handed to the French man. I mean, their protests put our protesters to shame for whatever that's worth. These guys go when they go, they go hard. But what's the latest here in terms of one what you think they're well, you know, what's the

status of the demands and the negotiations? And two what do you take away from this for all of us? You know, in twenty sixteen, when we had the breaks Ait referendum and then we had the election of president and Trump, I turned around to some of my French friends and I said to them, why why aren't you guys following this this revolution? And I'll remember I remember one of them said to me, she said, you know, we French, we take longer to do things, but when

we do them, they're bigger. And that's exactly what's happened. Two years after the revolutionary year of twenty sixteen. The French are now on the streets. You know, they're burning things, they're blocking streets, there's obviously a lot of a lot of violence going on. They're doing it bigger. The reason is very simple. Emmanuel Macron positioned himself as a centrist candidate against Marine Lapin, who was viewed as the far

right candidate in the presidential election. But he's governed effectively as a as a corporatist. He's given big tax breaks to the super wealthy in France, he's cut the minimum wage or failed to raise the minimum wage in mind with what the French were expecting. I mean, effectively, Frances the socialist country. And this is not a conservative protest you're seeing. It's sort of got elements of populism to it.

But by and large, the French just want more freebees and that's what they're out protesting about at the moment. Now Macron will face her no confidence vote himself this week. He will probably just about win it as well, just just like Theresa May. But but when you look at the narrative from the United States, when you see the headlines in the Washington Post in the New York Times saying Trump is an unbelievably unpopular is approval ratings are terrible.

Everybody wants him impeached. They have almost nothing to say about the fact that Merkel is now has had to stand down, May has had a no confidence and mc corman is having a no confidence though. These are the three people that they've been telling us are the new leaders of the international neoliberal rules based order, and they can't even hold majorities and confidences within their own populations. America actually, going now to Europe looks like a political haven.

It looks like a look, it looks like a really stable place to be. And isn't that extraordinary when you think about what you have to deal with every day and the press confidences and the Oval Office and all of that, it actually looks like the most stable country right now? Where's this all heading? In your opinion? In Europe? I mean, I know, look, you were an advisor in

Nigel Farage. You're very close to some of the movements over there that are trying to re establish some degree of sovereign team and given the failures of the kind of elite consensus folks over there, right, I mean, they're not really the consensus of the people. But you know, the establishment says, no, no no, no, try this person, you know, the trimac Kral, He'll get it done. Where does this all go next? Yeah? Look, it's not going anywhere good, you know. I I try and I try and keep

a happy face on most of the time. But when you do project these things forward, you know the establishment is doubling down. When President Trump said yesterday, you know if I if I get impeached, there'll be you know, riots or revolution, he was absolutely right, because we're seeing that taking place in Europe at the moment. It's not going on in Poland where you have a strong conservative government. It's not going on in Hungary where you have a

strong conservative government. It's not happening in Austria. It's happening in these these these lishy washy multiculturalist countries like Britain, like France, Germany, and unfortunately, the establishment in those countries keeps doubling down. We're not going to listen to the people. We're gonna figure out ways to suppress their voices, to suppress their votes, to not do what they tell us

to do at the ballot box. And so, I mean, if you think the Giljean the yellow vest protests have been violent, I've got to say I don't think you don't think you've seen nothing yet. I think it's going to get much much worse in the next three to five years. We're going to see full blown revolutions in these countries. Rahim Kassam. Everybody, No Go Zones is his book.

Today twenty seventeen, the President announced Who's pulling this country out of the Paris Climate Accords. To hear the politicians and television news chintuggers react, you'd

think it was the worst natural catastrophe. Wellever, what happened yesterday on the climate issue is an embarrassment to a country. It should be an embarrassment to him personally for how he answers to his grandchildren. People are going to die, habitat will be destroyed, seas will rise, insects will spread. This will be the day that the United States resigned as the leader of the free world. He is not helping the forgotten American He is hurting them. Their kids

will have worse asthma in the summer. The president who talked about putting America first has now put America last. That was the reaction, just as a little trip down memory lane that we got from much of the elite media. Obviously Tucker was calling it out, and I completely agree

with Tucker. But when the Paris Climate Agreement went through, I mean, this is something that Obama really Obama really showed his internationalist streak here on the whole Paris Climate agreement, meaning that US sovereignty, US legislative bodies, none of that really matters. All you need to do is show up with a bunch of fancy global and globalist bureaucrats and come up with some kind of an agreement. I mean, the Paris Climate Agreement, just just as a little trip

down memory lane. Remember Trump pulled this out of this and he's right, you mean, the whole thing. I can't even talk to libs about climate change anymore. They're so wacko.

They're so whacko about the whole thing. He can't have an What about the fact that people that have been saying this keep being wrong, They keeping You want me to you want me to not pay attention to the fact that the so called experts and the scientific consensus, which is really almost an oxymoron, especially on an issue as complicated as this consensus about what There's not a consensus about how much the temperature will rise or fall. There's not a consensus about the best way to deal

with it. There's not a consensus about what the full implications will be or won't be. They just all get into this hive mind. I mean, this is just a mob mentality about all the climate. We've got to fix the climate. The Paris Climate Agreement. This is from the Paris Climate Agreements. The United Nations website here the United Nations Climate Change. It's fascinating stuff. Here's what it says.

The Paris Climate Agreement central aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping a global temperature rise this century well below two degrees celsius above pre industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to one point five degrees celsius. Additionally, the agreement aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change.

To reach these ambitious goals, appropriate financial flows, a new technology framework, and an enhanced capacity building framework will we put in place, thus supporting action by developing countries and the most vulnerable countries. Okay, that last part, let's start that first. That is really just an excuse for global socialism. That's all. That is. The developed countries are going to

pay for the less developed countries. The developed countries are going to have to build the infrastructure for the less developed countries. And the excuse is going to be, well, we got where we are because of all of our CO two emissions, So they're going to do us the big favor, the big solid these third world countries out there by letting us give them money so that they won't they won't go the carbon intensive economic group. By

the way, this just makes people poorer. You know the problem with the climate change lunatics is that there's real damage done by their lunacy. This isn't something that does not have a cost. In fact, the economic costs are enormous, and you know, the countries involved in this are going to that. They're the ones that determine they call it quote naturally determined contributions, and every five years they're going

to assess this. There's no mechanism for agreement here. I mean, this is just the faculty lounge in charge of the world. There's no accountability, there's no seriousness. It's just emotions and a whole lot of you know, kumbaya. Let's all hold hands, dance in a circle. It's crazy. And now we're seeing some of the implementation of this and when it finally hits people what this involves, it's really bad. That's what.

That's what's happening in France. They realize you're going to add on We've got all these other problems and now you're going to add on fighting climate change to our bill. Please. I mean, here, here's what here's what Macron has had to say about a play clip too. I feel the anger, give us another chance. I want to see an immediate and real improvement and the salaries. And this is why I am ordering an end of the year bonus for

all employees without any text. He's just having a give people a little a little tax cut of it, and it's basically trying to pay people off a little bit to calm down. He's trying. It's just this is the the president of France, desperate to try to regain some political stability under his feet and it's it's all. This was all because the climate change. He didn't have to deal with this problem. You know, the yellow vests, you know they're they're coming out, they're so upset, understandably so

because you're really going to do this to them. You know, we do have wealth. Inequality is a very real thing, and it is the reason marks resonates with so many people.

The reason socialism has appeal for so many people is because inequality in talents and in wealth and in life is real, and it's very easy to exploit the inequality that exists in order to turn it into resentment, because resentment then also spreads and becomes anger, and anger turns into mobilization, and mobilization gives power to the people who can control that anger, which then brings me to what's

going on right now in Paris. Right he was just talking about a Playcliff three is the French ambassador of the US, and they have been rebellion also against our world government, to the government of President mccon. We has been has been trying to reform, reform France. When you are increasing the price of gas for the people, especially for the people leaving in the war areas. It has consequences on the standard of leaving, and I think that's

what the French government didn't take into account. So now I think the President has decided to face Desny's problem. Yeah, because the president doesn't have a choice because a bunch of you know, hundreds of thousands of people are running around and yellow vess being like, guess what, mister technocrat want to be stop messing up because of climate change? Okay, we want better lives now, not in one hundred years. And you know what the French on this, I gotta

agree with them. May we be in studio? Well, I understand that Donald Trump doesn't care. Kyleman makes a good point, he doesn't care, But why doesn't Mike Pompeo care? Right now? Are the pathetic deflections that we just heard when he appeared on Fox and Friends? Is that a patriot speaking? Or want to be dictator's butt boy? Dead serious? I'm asking, are these the words of a patriot? Whoa Mika Brzinsky? What is wrong with you? Well, there's a lot of

answers to that question. She used that term a blank boy, which is a you know, it's one of those references that has an anti gay associations to it, obviously, and all you can do is think about the phrase, and you know, it all becomes very clear as to why this isn't a subtle This isn't a subtle homophobic remark. This isn't a subtle swipe at at people who are um, you know, same are same sex attracted. It's a it's

a slur, and she went for it. She went for it because in the era of Trump, you see, there is such a psychosis among these elite media types that they're just stepping on these verbal bear traps left and right. And then of course they're under a completely different standard of of so called social media justice right there. There no one's gonna call for the firing of Mika Brazinski or she's you know, the suspension of Mika Briginski. She's

way too big a deal for MSNBC. And you know, Meek and Joe are really representative of what it is that people don't like when they say the elites, um this is. This is very important and I'm thinking more and more in depth about this, and I may even be doing some writing on this in the in the not too distant future. Hint hint. But the problem with with our leads in this country is that they have influence but not skills. They have access and power, but

not wisdom and knowledge. And they're a self perpetuating class based mostly upon a system that they have connections to and have figured out, instead of a system that is based on merit ability, skill and honestly worthiness. And Mika and Joe and their whole show really appeals to those kinds of people. And if you watch Morning Joe, the idea is that you're you're a sophisticated you know, you're you're with the big boys table, You're a sophisticated watcher

of news. Meanwhile, I mean, it's like listening to a bunch of catty high school girls. And I'm talking about Joe and you know, Bill Crystal and the people that he's got on his panel and some guy Confessory from the New York Times and these other people, and it's just always this very snide, sanctimonious anti Trump law. They're all saying the same crap. But Meeky here saying something that's that's anti gay to attack Trump. And yeah, she's she's now said that. Oh, she apologized to the Democrat

Senator Durban, who was on set with her. I guess he didn't do anything. He was just sitting there. She didn't apologize as far as I know, to Trump, though, And you know this, Stephen Colbert not long ago referred to I can't even say, I can't say on air what he said, but he used a homophobic slur about President Trump and Vladimir Putin. I mean, these people are paid millions of dollars and are so so lucky. They're elite, but they are. They're really elitists, right, They're really just

trying to hold on to their social position. They're not particularly talented, they're not particularly bright, and yet they can't help themselves. But to risk much of that, or at least risk some of that by saying crazy things about this president, I mean, it's just not rational. It's it's not a normal thing to be a you know, national level TV host and to have to you know, apologize and you're a Democrat and you're a leftist and you're

making anti gay slurs on TV. Yeah, you know, it's one of the and it's one of those things where you just sitting here, you say, I mean, we know there's this double standard. But even with the double standard, I mean, what is her problem, you know, putting aside that she's not going to get at any any real trouble for this, which is just we know that the media is unfair and it's stacked and all that, but you know, Mika Brazinsky, I just just unimpressive in every

every regard. And I just wish that people watching that stupid show would figure that out. The show keeping it real, It's time for roll call fate'sbook dot com slast Buck sex in. If you want to be a part of the roll call party, you know how to do it. Folks, you know how to get in on this action. Send me a note, Send me a message one day, far far away. We will have an email address. Views I know a lot of you asked for that, said Buck,

where's the email address? And I say, I mean, we're gonna we should probably set up an a email address just to kick at old school. You know, it'll be like a throwback jersey. It'll be like team Buck at aol dot com. Damn um, Martha rights. Trump needs to start billing the wall as a WPA style Americans back to work project. Well, Martha, I hear what you're saying. I think, more than anything else, Trump needs to start getting fired up about the fight ahead with this shutdown.

And you look, you did a good job with Humor and Pelosi. I think that people realize that Humor and Pelosi are when you you know, when you look at that whole situation, there's there's an understanding that they want to be the ones having that discussion behind closed doors. Trump wants to have that discussion out where people can actually hear it. So there you go. Isn't that that

tells you a lot about it, doesn't it? If if it were so strong for Democrats, if it was so politically useful for them to oppose the wall, why aren't they the ones that are making the case to have that discussion publicly? Why do they want to have it? I mean, look, you just you apply basic reason and logic to these things, and then you realize the Democrats are full of it, full of it. Randy Riots, Hey, Buck Shields high, I've got I've got to get one

more line in today. At today's meeting with the President, Chuck Schumer said when the President braggted he won won North Dakota and Indiana, he's in real trouble. So, Chuck, are you saying that North Dakota and Indiana don't count? Oh sick burn from Randy? I don't. I can't speak for Chuck Schumer. He also wrote, so after the CEO of Google testifying in front of Congress, I believe Google's theme song ought to be every breath you take, I'll be watching you. Oh can't you see you belong to me?

That's right, everybody. I should have had a career in music instead, That's right. I forget this radio stuff. I'd be on the hip music side of the dial. Hey, book Sexton, come to you at KO t r j w QSR one oh nine point seven seven seven seven. What do you think, DJ Brandon? Could I make the switch be one of those guys? I want the noise though that, yeah, thank you, right. I want to be there. I want to have the thing where they're like, you know, the noise are like the car going you know, do

you know what I'm talking about? Like it's like a car goes by you really fast and they use that as a drop sometimes. Sure, good luck with that. Yeah, all right, DJ Brandon is not these things. I should probably stick to the political analysis. That's fine, he's probably he's probably master by the way, but buck Master flex I like that a lot. Actually, buck Master flex should

be a thing that we actually run with. Um. Did you see a recent photo This was making the rounds and the memes of Axel Rose, and the meme was that Axel Rose looks like the mean lady from the Goonies. And it's true. Yeah, it's true. Have you seen that? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, it happened. Acts. I mean, we all age. I don't know what to tell you, We all age, that's my comment. No, it's like it's like it's like you're being told there's no Santa clause. The first time Axel Rose see him

mine seeing him next to Mickey Mickey Rourke. There was a recent picture. I think they went to the same service. Yep, that's the one. Okay, Yeah, they both they both look like they're in their granny phase, which is nothing wrong with that. It's just different than I remember them, all right. Damien writes like you, I'm a child of the eighties and Big Trouble in Little China was a staple of my childhood. However, I learned it isn't on Netflix or

a Hulu. I thought this was twenty eighteen. Jack Burton should be on demand. I say, we riot, We're not gonna take it. Shield high Buck, Glad you're feeling better, well, Damian, thank you, man, I appreciate it. Big Trouble in Little China is a great movie that will never ever ever be able to be remade because you get in trouble from making that movie. Now, there's so much cultural appropriation.

There's a lot of Asian guys with accents. You know, you're just that's just you're not allowed to do these things. You know. Cinema has changed so much, and in anyways not for the better. Although I was seeing today there were the reviews of Aquaman are just scathing that I'm seeing, which is such a shame, like Aquaman should be great. Well, Brandon, why can't they make superhero movies with with just good stories and good acting. I mean, you've already got the

built in superhero fan base. They rely so much on CGI and I think it's because they do it for the Yeah, they do it for the global market because they know they're gonna dub the crap out of all these things, and so you know, if it has a big opening in China. They don't care if those of us who actually like comic books watch the movie and say, this is not paying homage to this great canon of work. Yeah,

I'm with you. I'm a fan of the artistic comics and they I would rather have, you know, Jimpson, Jim Henson like puppetry rather than the CGI. Oh absolutely well, when you think about a Jaws, even though the shark and Jaws doesn't look real, because it's an actual thing that's in the water, it holds up much better than a lot of these movies. Like I saw a like Deep Lucy was Deep Blue c is saved by the Samuel Jackson speech and and what happens at the end

of it. But yeah, no, deeply no, But you're right, I mean Deep Blue c. Those sharks, those CGI sharks are way less scary than the Jaws. Like you know, mechanical shark from however long ago? What was this? I remember I read his name. They have a name for the shark. I forget what it is, but it's like Hank or something like that. So yeah, I mean the

shark from that's way better. Ah, such as life man, such as they were talking about a big trouble a little trying to remake, and then and then it fell away, and I got all excited about it. Give it time. They're gonna do it, probably an original blood Sport remake, and they could make that actually a pretty pretty kick ass movie. Nathaniel right Hey buck shields high material for

the show. The BSO has clear non gender based criteria for their pay structure, but this millennial flutist is indoctrinated. She can't really see the reality staring her in her face. A star flutist. He's talking about this piece in the Washington Post. Star flutist is paid. This is like a male female pay disparity thing. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is the BSO. They're ninety five musicians, sixty three men and thirty two women. Principal flutist Elizabeth Rowe sits next to

Principal Obois John Farrillo. She paid. She's paid sixty four thousand, five hundred or four hundred and fifty one less than him a year. Okay, you know, I hate to break this to folks, and they're saying this could change the way, you know, orchestras pay men and women. I mean, I hate to break it too, folks. But you know, a

lot of salary is about negotiation. I understand that the radical feminist types want everyone to believe that it's just a gender discrimination, But a lot of salary negotiation is about being willing to push, being willing to be aggressive, being willing to bluff even and say, you know, I got I'm gonna get a great offer from somewhere else if you don't pay me x or why. Look, I've had to do it myself many times. So our men predisposed to be more aggressive and more assertive in Southern

negotiations than women. It's certainly possible. Oh my gosh, you just said men and women are different. It's terrible, but but it's definitely not because people have exactly the same skills and women just make twenty percent less or whatever it is that they say now because or you know, in this case, sixty four thousand dollars less. I didn't

know that people in orchestras made that much money. By the way, that's a lot of money, I mean, because that's if she makes sixty four thousand less, I mean, you gotta be in you know, good six figure territory here to be in these orchestras anyway. So there's that's that's my take on all that we can talk about this morning. The time Rachel writes Buck, there's a Battlestar Galactic A miniseries from two thousand and three that's available

on Amazon Prime right now. The later four series seasons are a continuation of the two thousand and three mini series. This is why season one, episode one looks like a continuation of something. There we go, Rachel, this is what I've been asking for for a while because it's really not clear to me. And I try to watch Battlestar Galactica. I tried to, you know, be up on it, and I'm like, wait did I miss? And I hate feeling

like I'm coming in. I'm somebody who if I missed the first twenty minutes of a movie when I used to go to movies in the theater, you can't handle it. I just I hate it, you know, I can't do that. And I always felt like I was behind on Battlestar Galactica. It turns out, yeah, there was this mini series before it. You don't have to see, but it's kind of based on something. I mean, you get what I'm putting down by the way, I'm really not I'm really not so

psyched about Frontier. A bunch of you gave me that recommendation, and I can appreciate why you like. And Jason Momoa, it's very compelling as Declin Harp it's a cool name too. There was a time when I was like, I wish my name was Declin. That's one of the cooler Irish names. But the storytelling is just a little sloppy, and there's way too much like, oh, we need to do something, let's just stab some guy here. You know. There's not

really enough intricate storytelling for me. The acting is a little like I call it, like I see it, you know. And some of you, some Team Buck original squad, is going to make fun of me because I like to tear apart pop culture movies and TV more than I tend to praise them, and they are correct when they say that. But I just I can't do it. I can't do it when it comes to a Frontier. It's just it's not my favorite. We'll have to do it live Van hey Buck. I stumbled onto your show about

a year ago. I've been listening rapidly for six months and enjoy your insight and especially the voices you do. Thinks me appreciate it. Although I'm a little more central than you are, I am still light years away from the modern democrat, libert radical, etc. All I can say about the Muller probe is that if President Trump is guilty of all of the crimes that Libs say he is, Mueller must be the biggest idiot on the face of the planet for not being able to find any evidence.

Trump must be some kind of genius. On the other hand, in which case, glad I'm on his side. Do you think if the Libs actually believe in God, Jesus and the teachings of the Bible, they would think he is the anti Christ? Keep spreading the truth, my friend, Shields. Hi, then welcome to Team Buck. I know you've been with us for six months, but I don't think I've had a chance to say that to you before. And yeah, I think that you're spot on. We are supposed to believe.

But the most sophisticated intelligence and law enforcement apparatus on the planet is unable to find smoking gun evidence of an international conspiracy to throw a presidential election. This is crazy town, all right. It's just not rational, never mind reasonable, it's not rational. So that's my answer. That's my answer to all that. We're gonna have a fantastic show tomorrow and Friday. So thank you so much for giving me your time. As always, team, please do do me one

favor I haven't said in a while. Tell somebody to go and download the Buck Saxton Show on Itune. Tell them to check it out, listen to it. Hopefully they'll make us a part of their daily routine. We want the team to continue to grow as it has been. For the gosh going on two years, I've been doing this syndicated show.
