We're just days away from a critically important summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong owned of North Korea, and the media is trying to pull apart the preparations for it. It's pretty clear they're rooting against success, not just for Trump, but for America and the world. On this one, we'll also talk about more expectations for the Inspector General reports supposed to

be out within about a week. That is going to be a rough one for Comey and McCabe. Plus uh Nancy Pelosi tries to get into some of the numbers on the economy. You can imagine that that was quite a train wreck. We've got that and much more coming up. This is the Bus Sex and Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistakes, America, You're a great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. No. Welcome to the Buck Sex

and Show. Everybody. I'm here live from the Swamp is Swamping. Very excited to be with you today. Much to discuss with all of you, and thank you very much for your time. You got this summit coming up here in just a few days. You're gonna be in Singapore, and what you can't help. But notice is that the media is looking to run every negative story about this they can. It's not just to get clicks. It's not just because they are looking to tell any story that will get

them some attention. But you also get the sense that they want to form a narrative in advance of recklessness and failure, of that no matter what happens at this summit, they will then give you a follow on of see it was recklessness and failure. They know they don't care really what happens there. They are going to be telling you that this was Trump the buffoon, Trump, the man who's unable to represent us properly on the world stage, because if he gets this thing right, they are so

out of any credibility to criticize this president. I don't know who could still believe them at this point. I don't know who says you know, I'm gonna keep listening to the legacy media that assured its readers, it's listeners, it's viewers, that Trump had no chance of winning, that he was a clown, that he was an imbecile, that he was evil, that he was bringing fascism. What else can they throw at him? If he manages the most important diplomatic breakthrough since the end of the Coal War.

I think that it's gonna make things tough for them. You got Rudy Giuliani out there trying to set a little bit of a different tone about where these negotiations are going and what it's like right now from our side of the negotiating table. Here's we need to say play five. They also said they were gonna they're gonna go to nuclear war against us. They were going to defeat us in a nuclear war. He said, well, we're

not gonna have a summit under those circumstances. Well, Kim young un got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is exactly the position you want to put him in. That's right. Remember when the summit was off, we were all being told, oh my gosh, look at how much this all fell apart. He can't get the summit done. What are we gonna do now? Trump is such an idiot? Right, Always such an idiot, That's what they always say. Now it's back on and

always preparations not good. They they just seethed with hatred for the president in every story they right and everything that they say, and it couldn't be any more apparent than at this point in time. It doesn't even matter what comes out of this summit. They're going to say that it was a blunder, a failure, a catastrophe. Even they're gonna try. They have no credibility to protect. And when a media has no credibility to protect, it is

capable of almost anything. On the preparations. Now you're seeing this, this manic fixation on the preparations from North Korea. Oh my god, Trumper's not having the necessary meetings that they don't know the meetings he's having, or not having no idea what. They're just making crap up, making crap up because it lets them tell a story about how they don't like they don't like Trump. That's the best story they can possibly tell, right, anything that makes the president

look bad. He spoke about the issue of preparations, and they jumped all over this place. Seventeen the tube. It's about to really is to get things done. But I think I've been preparing for the summit for a long time, as has the other inside. I think they've been preparing for a long time also, So this isn't a question of preparation. It's a question of whether or not people want it to happen, and we'll know that very quickly.

I want to tell you from my experience with diplomats dealing with people at the State Department, understanding how there is an obsession with process and protocol, and that is that the defining characteristic of most of the Look, there are some amazing diplomats out there, great ambassadors, all that.

You know, all those caveats apply, but the overall culture at the State Department is just process, process, process, and the results don't matter nearly as much because as long as you can point to a process that everyone agreed on, you're gonna say, see, we did it the right way. We did the way we're supposed to, We did the way that everybody around us, everyone else who's involved, says we we should because that's how it's done. They're really

a circular thinking. But you see, Trump is trying to be disruptive in this approach to North Korea. He's saying, you know, what he's doing here is the equivalent of walking into a boardroom for a company that is failing, and they're all trying to say, oh, sir, I've got this report that I pulled. Oh I've got this power point person r sha and he's like, no, no, just just wipe it all off the table. What is working here? What is not working? Who do I need to fire?

Who do I need to hire? How do we turn this thing around? What do he saying is that's gonna be his approach with Kim John by all these people saying, Okay, what do they think Kim John Gon is some kind of negotiating genius based on who on what? The guy is a totalitarian dictator. He's got you know, he executes people. You think he's so slick? Do you think he's got such great skills? It's crazy when you actually get down into this. You know the way the kid, how what

is he like a thirty three? I think I'm just pulling that out of the air. He's like early thirties. I mean, granted, you put me in there, I'm thirty six. You put me and there would be a problem because I'm gonna come out and be like, all right, I'll give up my nukes, but I want this little piece of real estate called Hawaii to hang out at thirty three? Right? Yeah, I was right. Obviously obviously, thanks Mike. So you know this is this is just the nonsense that they're pulling

out here. And by the way, he's got a guy with his back that I have. I have confidence in his knowledge ability skill set. The President has confidence in his knowledge ability skill set, and you know he's got the team he needs. And no, not just Bolton, who should really have a national security just a National security Council just assigned to his mustache, but Secretary Pompeo, who

you know is a really squared away guy. Here's what he's saying about the sanctions and where we how we should place this upcoming somewhe North Korea play a team. The President recognizes that North Korea has great potential, and he looks forward to a day when sanctions on the DPRK can begin to be removed. However, that cannot happen until the DPRK completely inveriffiably eliminates its weapons of mass

destruction programs. President Trump and Sherman Kim will certainly also discuss security assurances for the DPRK, establishing a peace regime, and improving relations between our two countries until we achieve our goals, the measures that the world alongside the United States has put on. The regime will remain and the event diplomacy does not move in the right direction, these measures will increase. He's saying, they either give us what

we want or we tighten the screws even more. People saying, oh, there's this big risk, big risk of I mean, there's risks and anything worth doing. But when you actually look more closely at what's happening here and what the regional dynamics are from North Korea, for China, for our allies Japan, South Korea, it's this or what Who has a better alternative?

Bipartisan failure stretching back for thirty years on dealing with North Korea both sides, no skills whatsoever to speak of when it comes to ending the North Korean nightmare, no victories to speak of, I should say, and this is this is what what really troubles me. And I just have to put this out there because I want you to have it in your mind as we read this coverage next week, as we you know, look at this with the clearest eyes we can, it's gonna have something.

I think it'll have some impact on the markets too. By the way, it's just there's gonna be a sense of global confidence that will be like I think it's gonna be a brilliant if this is a positive meeting. Uh, it's a positive meeting. By the way, Trump is not promising, it's a positive being place place sixteen. Please. All I can say is I am totally prepared to walk away. I did it once before. Uh, you have to be able to walk away if you're not going to be

able to walk away. We didn't walk away from the horrible Iran deal that was signed. And if you look at what's happened since I signed that deal Iran, and in all fairness, I say it with great respect for the people of Iran, but Iran is acting a lot differently. They're no longer looking so much to the Mediterranean, They're no longer looking so much to what's going on in Syria, what's going on in Yemen, and lots of other places. There are much different country over the last three months.

He's right about Obama and the Iran deal he gave away. I mean, the most important information you can have about your opponent in a negotiation is will they actually take any deal? Do they have to have a deal? If they have to have a deal, you have all the leverage. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter what they all the other factors can be pushed aside because if they have to have a deal, you just set your floor. What will you you know what, what's the bare minimum that

you'll take? And then they're they're gonna meet you there because they have to do a deal. Obama wasn't gonna walk away from Iran look like a loser on that one. That was the mentality of his team, that was John Kerry and the State Department. Then well that's not a way to negotiate. I will just put this out there as well. What negotiating experience really did Barack Obama have before overseeing at his State Department this Iran deal? I know what he wasn't the one day in a day out.

But say what you will, WoT President Trump. He's been in the boardroom before. He's been trying to get get a better deal for his side than the other side for the last forty or fifty years. Okay, so that should matter in some way at some time to the media. But it doesn't. Of course it doesn't. I've said it before, I've said it again, and this is what I was getting at before. You've got to remember this their biggest fear, and this is a true statement. This is gonna sound

a little crazy. The media's biggest fear is not that we go to war with North Korea. It's that Donald Trump is successful and that there is no war, that there is a normalization, that there is a massive breakthrough, if nothing else, think about what that will mean. As I was saying to you at the start here for their narrative about Trump, what does it mean for their

narratives about themselves. You know that these media figures who claim that they they're the ones that cannot that understand who is going to be a great diplomat, who has the skills to operate on the world stage. They've told us Trump is well out of his depth, way out of his league. If he steps up to the plate the first time it hits a home run, what does

that do to their credibility? And just think about the comparisons that will be able to draw between Barack Obama, who got a Nobel Prize for being president Barack Obama. That's it. That's it there there. They can say whatever they want about it. That is what that was a Nobel Prize for being president, and whether Trump gets a

Nobel Prize or not, we will all know. We look at these two administrations, one president who is who is hailed by the media as as erudite, as a genius, really as and by Obama's own admission based on what Ben Rhodes is written, we've been talking about this week, too brilliant for us, too good for us, really, too smart for the American people, and his legacy of just

failure and a coddling media that will do anything. We'll just just debate race themselves, get down with their hands and knees and beg for Obama to say one nice word to them. The other hand, Trump, who they say is some kind of troglodyte and a blonde wig, goes out there and puts us on a pathway to a truly safer world, takes one of the access of evil uh pieces off the chessboard. Possibly possibly. I'm not saying it will happen. I'm saying they are afraid that that happens.

They will. I don't know what they're gonna do. It'll be like Hillary's victory party that wasn't such a victory all over again. Right, just gnashing of teeth and wailing and rending of garments and big, big liberal tears all over the place. I mean, well, the rest of the world will be celebrating, right, not the least of of whom will be the North Korean people who will finally have a shot, finally have a shot at meaningful lives.

It's it's powerful stuff, my friends. Uh, we were I wanna talk a bit more about the economy this show than we have in the last few days, because I think that's another place where oh man, November can't come soon enough. As far as I'm concerned, It's gonna be a great one. I want to like it would be funny. We could do like a election night Team Buck party somewhere, you know, just barbecue American flags and freedom and just watch all watch those returns come in. Yeah, I know,

we we should. I'm having I'm having these thoughts in real time on the year. If you got if you got any thoughts you want to share about the summit, about the economy, anything, honestly eight four four eight four four nine two eight to five. Our freedom Hunt lines are open, Light them up. Team You're right back. Yes, we could absolutely sign an agreement. We're looking at it, we're talking about it with them, we're talking about it with a lot about the people. But that could happen.

But that's really the beginning. Sounds a little bit strange, but that's probably the easy part. The hard part remains after that. Uh, normalizing relations is something that I would expect to do, I would hope to do when everything is complete. There are a lot of good factors lined up for North Korea, a lot of tremendous factors that give it tremendous potential. It has tremendous potential because the people are great, and we would certainly like to see normalization. Yes, normalization,

that's the goal. We'll see. You've got some lines. Let let's get to it. Uh, Brent in New Mexico. Good to have you, sir, ay buck Shield tie shield ty. Hey, I got a quick question for you, just to hypothetical, say, Trump gets is still gone, and do you think he's going to take the direction of having this sign through the treaty and do you think he's going to go the executive order route? Because I'm already reading where the Democrats it's kind of ironic and funny that they're not

going to go along that. Lets they're suggestif some real verifications un inspections, which is kind of funny to meet with the way they treated I ran, but I was just curious about the stop which COSTSS you could keep more more likely used. Well, I look at a treaty, as we have seen from what happened with Obama, you want a treaty because that has more long lasting effect that that's actually constitutionally sound. So if you can get

a treaty, that's that's the way to go. And on this issue of North Korea, if Trump has you know, if Trump is able to get where he wants to with this first meeting, then you know, I think that may be something we're discussing. But we've gotta understand that it's it's the first step in the process. So I think we're gonna be talking a lot about whether you know, both sides are gonna argue about whether the meeting was

a success or not. And I don't know if there'll be enough from it to necessarily go to a treaty, you know, go to a treaty discussion right away? Does that make you see what I'm saying? Like, I think it will be a little ways down the line. I mean, in terms of an executive order, what would the executive order be? I mean the problem that any executive order is the next president unless a judge steps in like

what happens to Trump can undo it. So i'm i'm I'm in in uh in a wait and see mode on all of this stuff because we have to be I mean, we have to be. But it's a it's a fair question. Treat your executive order brand. Let me give it some more thought. I'll come back to it, and as I have a more fulsome answer for you, I will share it on the air. Brent Expert, thanks for giving us a ring. We got some lines lit. If you want to call eight for four nine Buck eight four four eight to five, let's I do. If

you want to talk abou Korea, that's cool. But employment, jobs, the economy, it's fun to discuss right now because business is booming. Baby. It's a good time to be an American and not a good time to be a Democrat. Who wants to pretend that it's not a good time to be an American. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton is back. So this isn't just about the

unemployment rate. It's about wages rising in our country so that consumer confidence is restored, because our economy will never fully reach its um uh possibilities unless we increase the confidence, and that can only be increased by the better deal, better jobs, better wages, housing subsidies, and the rest. Has

not gone down because of the wage stagnation. So in terms of the financial stability of America's working families, unless we have an increase, very significant increase in wages and bigger paychecks, are we were going to increase the frustration of America's families because they'll be saying, hip hip hoarae. Unemployment is down, What does that mean to me in

my life? I need a bigger paycheck. There has never been a better time to invest in the United States, thanks to our mess of tax cuts, historic deregulation, a strong trade policy which has just really begun, because I will tell you, over the years it has been an extraordinarily weak trade policy, the opening of American energy, and a return to the rule of law. Our economy is absolutely booming best it's ever been. Unemployment is at the lowest level in nearly half a century, and for African

American and Hispanic American workers. Unemployment has reached its lowest level ever recorded. So who are you gonna believe on the economy, folks, Pelosi chronic, stupid question. Yeah, exactly. By the way, we did a fact check of this one courtesy of a producer, Mike. This is great. So Pelosi says that consumer confidence must be restored. It is currently measured at a two point one, which is higher. That is higher under Trump than at any time under Bush

or Obama. That's sixteen years of presidency, my friends, consumer confidence higher now than at any time under Bush or Obama. Huh, that's like so weird w T h uh. Also, Pelosi said there's wig stagnation, but the employment cost index regord to register two point six percent for the full year, which means that Trump had the best wage gains since the Great Depression, way beyond anything Obama had in his

eight years. By the way, and that's what Obama coming out spending money like we had never seen before, spending your money as it means of propping up the economy, make it seem like there was more growth and more going on than there was. Also, she calls consumer confidence canoeber confidence, which maybe she was talking about something else there, but Canoeber confidence is not something I'm familiar with, unless it's like something to do with Huber. I don't know.

So there's that, Thanks for thanks for pulling that apart. I think Nancy's gonna go cry in the corner now, Mike. That's all on you, don't Mike is not gonna feel bad about that though. Just real quick, I'm gonna add on that. I forgot to tell you this earlier. Actually, six of Obama's eight years in office saw gains of two or less. I think that's also important. But it was really hard because we're gonna hold the cots in the Wall Street and they weren't all about things, and

they're gonna make it really double. So we're never gonna have a good e columy a gun. But on the best president ever, it's yeah, not so much, not so much. It turns out that the Obama economy was a pain inflicted on the American people that was not necessary, that was not inevitable, and there is a better way forward. Wow, it's amazing what can happen when you don't allow regulation

to strangle small businesses and to push out competition. It's amazing when the government picks fewer winners and losers, is less engaged in market intrusions. I'm not saying it's perfect. I'm not saying Trump has fixed everything and we're not crazy here, but it's getting better, it is improving. I think this is also a time when am I You

can fact check me on this. There are more jobs current They estimate there more jobs currently out there than there are people looking for jobs, which is a pretty powerful thing, isn't it. All these numbers that can you imagine, By the way, if if Obama had these numbers eighteen months into his presidency and I don't know, people say, oh, back was coming out of the greatest depression of the

history of depressions, are yeah, okay. Whatever all they had to do was shore up the banks, which Bush did. All Obama did was coming and be like I'm gonna Sen'm gonna spout troy and dollars'n spud up trillion, a trillion dollars on stuff, shovel ready projects trillion dollars didn't happen, right, or the spending happened, but the shove already didn't happen.

The Bush administration was the one that's like, all right, we gotta bail out the banks, you know, and that's a whole other conversation, but they were the ones that got that in motion. You build out the banks, you had to have a reset. But the this was always the fact, This was the figure that bit devil the Obama administration. And is why I actually thought mid Romney had a real shot of winning in twelve was because

the recovery from the recession. And I know it was a very a very painful recession, very real, no question about it. The recovery from that recession that was the slowest thing had ever been since the Great Depression. So even with a difficult hand come and every administration is given a difficult hand in one way or another. But even with that, Obama's efforts to fix the economy were comparatively to other administrations coming out of recessions week very

very weak. And now and now we we see this, we see okay, well, what's it like when a president comes in office? Was like, you know what, We're gonna do everything we can to let the business of the American people be business. And it is, as Trump said, never been a better time to invest in the us. We are crushing it. We are actually as a country getting wealthier, happier, living longer than at any time in history. Things are better now than they have ever been. In fact,

I know people don't like happy talk. We got problems. I know, we got issues. We got you know, we got an opioid epidemic, we got a legal immigration. We still got the hottest circling the globe looking to do us harm, looking to ruin everything that we've built here in this country. We've got democrats status internally trying to take away our freedoms. We've got people at the progressive

culture revolution is under full under full swing. I get it all that's happening, But if you're looking at this from an economic perspective, you cannot stop and think, Wow, this president's actually get and something's done. It's going it is going well. And that's why I mean Pelosi. But by the way, I don't know. I don't know if she had her butler pulled together those figures, you know, I don't know she was like jeeves, jeeves, have it like you to to to be the one to to

pull together all my research? You know, She's like not, I don't know she says she's a master legislator. But I got questions. I don't think I don't think that's a fair a fair statement of fact. Proved me wrong exactly, Thank you, John. Uh. You know, I think that there's plenty of reasons for us to to sell it, to be pleased with what's going on, but push for more. There's a lot more that has to get done. And I'm gonna be on air with you at some point.

I'm gonna be talking about probably a fifteen or twenty dropping the stock mark. It's gonna happen. There's gonna be a little Things have overheated a bit because of structural, long term economic issues that haven't been dealt with yet, because the dead that deficit, that's all there. I get it. I'm not gonna pretend it's not gonna be happy times always in forever. But you know what's true about this president.

If things get tough like that, at least we've got people in charge who know how to turn things around too, who can handle the up and down of the market without And we almost had an abandonment of capitalism underway when Obama came into office with the Occupy Wall Street movement and the redistribution of wealth and the pay your fair share. All of a sudden, it's like, oh yeah,

democratic socialism. That's the answer to a financial crisis that was largely engineered by the state acting under social justice principles. What they don't tell you about so important. You remember this. You go back and you watch The Big Short. There's a lot you know that movie with Brad Payte. It's a very entertaining movie, but there's a lot of preachy stuff about you know, they're just gonna blame poor people, and they're just gonna blame immigrants. So they're just gonna

mean those are quotes from the movie. That's what they say. And the whole movie is about blaming Wall Street, which, yeah, Wall Street is greedy and walls, but their job is greed bar from Gordon Gecko. Greed is good. I mean it ken be. It's not always good. But self interest is at the heart of capitalism, and self interest is a beautiful thing when harnessed in a properly in a society. It's why our capitalist system has been the greatest creator

of global wealth in the history of the planet. In the shortest amount of time of any period in human history. We have pulled more people out of poverty. We've created more long term, durable wealth, better lives for billions, literally billions of people, thanks capitalism. But instead you've got a left wing progressive movement in this country that likes to question capitalism in every turn and refuses to accept that it is just a better system for organizing human affairs

than the state in control. They object to that, they don't like it. They are ideologically predisposed to dispense with the facts on the big short which I mentioned to you. They never get into the fact that the only reason that you could have such crappy loans made for Holmes was because of government mandates that stretched all the way back to the Community Reinvestment Act and the practices of redlining.

They were saying that minority dominant areas of the country, we're not getting loans for homes, that access to credit became not a financial issue but a social justice issue. And by saying that lending practices were racists and that banks had to get rid of the financial numeric standards in place, that was the facile material that was the fuel that led to the conflagration of the Great Recession. But they don't you know that the movie completely ignores that.

You do not hear the words in the big short about the financial meltdown of two thousand and eight. You do not hear the words Fannie mayor Freddie Mack. If you do, it's in passing and no one talking, like no one pays any attention. I don't even think it appears the whole movie though. Nothing, no talk about Fanny mayor fred Oh. That's right, those semi government organizations that were the ones guaranteeing all these loans, that were pushing the home ownership society as kind of a rite of

passage in this country. Everybody gets on you know, you get a car, you get a car, everybody gets at home. You mean that can lead to bad things. Oh yeah, that's right. It can very much lead to bad things. I was talking about the economy. I just kind of got on a it's kind of got on a tear there. We got every line, lits. That's fine. We'll take some calls. We'll hang out an hour to a lot of a lot of things, many things to discuss. I've got good stories.

I've got good stories for you. Stay with me. We are lit here in the hot lots of lines to get to here. Thank you for your calls, folks. Let's get to John in Winston Salem. Hey John, good evening, Buck, thanks for taking my call. Good evenings are Thank you for calling. I'm I'm really really concerned about the discussions right now with regard to data and it seems like, uh, we're in danger of actually doing a form of amnesty, which I think will be a killer come come election

time in November. My concerns are are are these real quick? Uh? One, I think uh, the DOCTA UH group was supposed to contain a lot of criminals. Those criminals should not be allowed to stay. Those criminals should not be allowed to become a citizens. Secondly, UH, whatever they do with DOCTA, these people should not be allowed to vote. We've got to find some way to de incentivize having them come.

And I think, uh, any consideration of any kind of citizenship should include the provision that there be absolutely no financial uh no financial payout at all from city, state or national for health care, for edgye, cation, for housing, uh, medical anything. They should be completely off of the government doll Otherwise, you're paying people to become citizens. And we've got to deincentivize this whole idea, John, I I understand

what you're saying. I'll just let you know that are we have some history on this, on making people on amnesties and then letting people become permanent residents, and we can say, and we can pass laws and and all kinds of promises about how they will not access federal benefits and they will access benefits, my friend, there will be lawsuits after lawsuits. The A c L you represent every person covered under a DACA amnesty and say it's unconstitutional.

There's an equal protection violation because they can't access benefits. So I understand what you're saying. I agree with that sentiment. I just want you to be aware though. All with amnesty, the only thing you are guaranteed is that those who amnesty will stay. Anything about learning English, back taxes, paying fun, that's all coop la, that's all nonsense, malarkey. But thank you for calling in, John, and it's good to talk to you. Uh Kathy in Mansfield, Ohio. Hey, Kathy, Oh

hi hi Buck? Hello, um hey, Well this is fun to talk to you. I love listening to you. You make me laugh, you make my day. Thank you so much. My favorite impersonation is your Janet Napolitano hands down. Yeah.

But anyway, I was calling to see what you thought about um with the liberal media talking points and thinking of this with the recent Bill Clinton meltdown with that question on Morning Joe and wondering like, who gave that that person the marching orders too to ask him um, you know, a tough question and all of a sudden that's, you know, such a soft place for him to be UM and then kind of just tying that in with um some of the just repetitive words that they'll use.

On the same day, everybody, you know, Russia has played these sorts of um montages where everyone says gravitas or nefarius or some word you know then and people latch onto. It's part of the echo chamber of fact that the media has, that the media creates. So but is there someone is there some secret um like phone call at five am that they're all getting in on and well

they watch each other. Should keep One thing that that I think good folks outside to know is that pretty much every media organization is constantly watching every other media organization. It's like we're all spying on each other. Uh. And in some cases it's it's just to be look, it's you need to stay up on what's going on, and people are covering breaking news and you're in a newsroom

and you know what's happening. But in most TV executives offices, for example, and most hosts of shows, there are monitors with all the other networks on constantly. When I'm in when I'm in the New York office, for example, we're doing my show, I have the cable news shows on mute in front of me on screens, not right in front of me, but I can look up and see them all the time. So you do have this reinforcement

of certain concepts, ideas, stories that's going on.

The single most helpful thing you can do. Unless you have a really fast growing business and you want to be a partnership with us. That's also cool too, So you know, you know now I feel like Garth when he's like you'n that bad any corporate sponsored He's like got all the Reebok year on. And then Wayne is like newprin little Yellow different after he says he has a headache. You know, it's such a great movie. I really I you know, they don't make him like that anymore.

They're it. I just pretend like the second Wins world doesn't exist, all right. Immigration, I was telling you about how they you can't trust, like I've only said this once to say it all the time. Cannot trust Republicans an immigration can't can't do it, You can't do it. We'll do it live you can't trust them, and they show you my time and time again because a lot of them, Paul Ryan among them, don't really want there

to be stricter enforcement, a secure border. Interior enforcement is very high on the list, by the way, you verifying other programs in place. They don't want any of that, and now Paul Ryan is blaming them Play eleven. I think the Democrats kind of walked away from the process once the Spreme Court took away our deadline and March the fifth on this issue, and that had left it to us to try and figure out how do we get this done. I worry that Democrats would rather have

UM an issue than a solution. We're going to work on a solution. Yep, he is correct. I think they would rather have an issue than a solution. But then again, I'm not sure that much more can be said for the Republican side of things. I'm just it's kind of like I see it on this one UM. A lot of GOP members want to talk about they want to talk tough on immigration enforcement, but they really just want amnesty, amnesty, amnesty. And you know, if you if you listen to some

the speeches Paul Ryan's getting on this. He's the guy he's like, Yeah, let's let people just come here, work here, stay here as long as they want, not understanding that once you're here and you get into the system, getting you to leave is very, very difficult. I I asked you a question before the break. I said, what percentage of the federal prison population do you think is comprised

or is composed? Pardon me? Immigrants are what? There? We go better way to phrase it, immigra are what percentage of the federal prison population? Fifteen twenty try thirty one thirty one of the federal prison population is immigrants. So that seems like a lot. I keep in mind, that doesn't even begin to tell you what the overall incarcerated population of immigrants in this country is. I'm not anti immigrant. We're gonna break this down. A vast majority of these

immigrants are illegal immigrants. And by the way, a vast majority of the illegal immigrants who are in federal prison are there for drugs smuggling. That's the number one issue that they are being held for in federal prison. Um. Yeah, nearly half of the migrants in federal customer there for drugs smuggling or dealing so either bringing the drugs into the country or moving drugs around the country once they're here.

So that's I think a very important figure. But it also doesn't take into account state prison populations, which are much larger than the federal prison population, a lot more state prisons and federal prisons, And they don't keep reliable figures about immigrants and state prisons. Isn't that interesting? They just don't have them they which is such a how could you not know? Would you want to know if your state prison has people who are in the country

illegally in it? Wouldn't you want to know what's going on there? But I mentioned on the air, I think it was earlier in the week. I said, what would happen? I mean, if you look at the because we we always hear, oh, immigrants commit few We're told immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born Americans. So this is the Democrats saying that you, as an American, are more likely to commit crimes and immigrants are That's what they're always saying.

And I say, okay, I'm I'm not even talking about immigrants who are here I llegally, I want to I just want to talk about illegal immigrants and the percentage of the illegal immigrant population involved in criminal activity versus the native born American population. By the way, native born American includes white, black, Latino, Asian expan you know everything, right, and the entirety of Americans, my fellow Americans, versus those who come into the country illegally from any country. That's

a much more. That's the apples to apples comparison. That's what I want to know. We we don't have that information, though, Oh, isn't that isn't that interesting? I don't keep that information. But I meant in a city that is known for being the single biggest magnet for illegal for illegal aliens in the country is Los Angeles. And I think it is interesting that when you go on the Los Angeles

and I'm on it right now. You go on the official side of the Los Angeles Police Department, the l A p D, which I think is the second largest p D in the country after it where I work, the NYPD, and you look at the most wanted people in Los Angeles. Right now, we're talking about illegal aliens and legal alien crime. And this is just this is anecdotal.

I understand that, but the l A p D is currently at the top of its list, looking for Jose Padilla, Augusto Caesar, Nistal Jesse Jesse, Enrique Monarees, Ramon Reyes, Victor Vargas, and Reuben Villa. That's what what do you got free? Mike? You got something I couldn't hear you. I was just fast checking you on the police departments two. Oh, Chicago's number two. Darnet Buck All right, you got one on me this time, but savor the flavor because it won't happen again. I was trying to get Yeah, I was

surprised as you or I thought you were right. I was just checking out that that well, that makes sense because I think the way you know l A, there's a lot of because LA is really many cities connected. So the l A p D specifically probably doesn't like there's there's like Santa Monica p D and and I don't know how they do it there. M YPD is huge. YPD is forty plus, it's enormous. It's like an army.

So anyway, but I look at all these I look at all these individuals, and they all have I mean, look, you heard the names, they're all they're all they're all hispanic. What's interesting to me is that the l a p D is most wanted Listen, Uh, they don't have they have their biographing that they don't have listed here. Are they illegal aliens in the country? So is there is there a deportation or around None of that information is share.

They've got you know, armed and dangerous, they have height, they have weight, they have tattoos, they have the date of birth, photo, all this different background information. Nothing here about whether he's an illegal alien. I just think that that's something that I mean, it's a law enforcement organization. Can we know that? Are we Are we allowed to know that? Maybe? Because by the way, that also goes to if he is an illegal alien, guess what that means.

He's got citizenship in another country because he's not undocumented. He just has documents from a different country than this one. And if he's on the run and he's an illegal alien, guess what the likeliest thing is for him to do go back to country of origin until the heat dies down. Oh wow, you mean that as a public safety issue, it would be good to know whether this person is not just in the Los Angeles area, but is likely

to be fleeing towards the border. That seems to me, I would this is like a New York City when I'll sometimes I this is just what happens. We'll be watching TV and they'll be like, there is a you know, assault and burglary suspect on the loose. He wears T shirts. Sometimes he's male, five ten five pounds. That's all they got. Huh, that's all. That's all they want to tell the public. They got a photo of him. But the announcer is just gonna tell us five ten pounds, where's T shirts?

But I see a photo. They've got a photo, but they don't want to talk about the photo. That strikes me as strange. You could, you could call me a weirdo, but that strikes me as strange. And the fact that the l A p D has it's I know it's it should be a I don't think they have a top temost one of They just have a most wanted

That's what I'm seeing here. But all of the individuals at the top of their most wanted list are Latino, and none of them and they have all this information of photos and none of them they have their immigration status, which I think as a public safety issue. You'd want to know, are these people who have international ties? Are they likely flight risks to foreign countries like that stuff that? And I just wondered, does do the l A p

D even have the information on file? I'm not sure because the way they structure these sanctuary cities, they don't want people to know. I mean, that's like I don't ask, don't tell policy about it, agration status. L A right now doesn't want to honor detainer requests. When I says, Immigrations and Customer Enforcement says, hey, can you hold on to that person for us will be there tomorrow to pick them up and kick them out of the country, l A says, nope, I'm not gonna do that. Won't

do that. You know, this is where you get into folks. They they don't want to tell you the truth in this. They don't want to be held accountable. They're playing games with you. This is also why I would note there is a real effort out there too avoid tying the opioid epidemic into the illegal alien crime surge in the country. These are two things that are linked. The people bringing the illegal drugs, not the legal ones. And I can

talk to you about it. There's some big case out now actually about a guy that's part of a hundred million dollar essentially oxycotton fraud ing in Detroit. You know, he's facing a very long prison stretch. He's got doctors in on it. That's a part of it too, I know. But on the illegal substance side of fentonel and heroin,

the smuggling is coming from south of the border. The Mexican drug cartels are growing it, and they are using the illegal alien pathways into this country, the same smuggling roots, the same smuggling organizations and then hiding in the illegal alien communities and then distributing these drugs in our communities in this country and killing sixty thousand plus people a year, sixty thousand and counting year in and Europe. It's a

lot of overdose deaths. In fact, I think I saw today a statistic that among millennials, twenty percent right now of millennial deaths them directly attribute attributable to opioid overdose. This scourge that is hitting communities across the country, that is hitting city after city, small cities, medium sized cities, to not just in the major urban centers, is the

result of penetration of those communities by smuggling rings. The smuggling rings come from south of the border and are using the much broader and yes, I know law abiding or other than their illegal status, but illegal alien communities as cover for their actions and cover for their status. This is what's happening. It's almost like a drug insurgency. Right there only some insurgents, but if they have a broader population to hide in, it makes it a lot

more difficult to route them out. The cartels and their smugglers, their couriers, those are the insurgents in this analogy. This inserted. This drug insurgency is in cities, is in cities across the country right now, and it is killing large numbers

of us. And this is why when you look at the the federal prison population and how thirty percent of it involves I mean they say immigrants, Like I said, they need to start separating immigrants from illegal immigrants, because I think that's a much more relevant statistic, because I I think then you'd see the concentration of illegal activity is among those who are already in the country illegally, people that go I mean people that go through the

process of coming into this country. I have friends who have done it and told me about it in detail. It's a lot of work. You're not gonna risk getting jammed up. And and you know, if you're the kind of person that goes through the immigration process legally and doesn't use some sketchy loophole or you know, lie about something, pretends someone's your kids, you can come to the country.

You're the kind of person that crosses the teas and dots the eyes, the kind of person that wants your peace, the American dream wants to go about it the right way. So you're in a whole separate category. But you see, they always want to, you know, muddy the waters. They always wanna make it more difficult to understand the real scope of the problem and the real center of the problem,

which is illegal immigration. Because if we knew, and we're able to really drill down into the numbers over how much illegal immigration feeds into the opioid epidemic that is consuming this country and is destroying communities, particularly in the rust belt in Appalachia, there would be a finally, I think, a groundswell, a political clamor for action to be taken, a wall, interior enforcement shut down, the pipelines shut down, the continued infiltration of this country of millions and millions

of people who are not supposed to be here and who are violating our laws, and who don't seem to think that we even have a right to tell them anymore that they're violating our laws. Whereas you know, we had we had a g sessions on this one. He is strong on immigration, my friends. He does everything he can under the law. We need the Republican Congress to act, and we need the Trump administration to spur them to

that action. Eight four or four buck if you want to chat about this, and uh, we have a whole lot more coming, including a quite a throwdown between Sara Hugaby Sanders and Bro Cuomo over at CNN that's coming up. The FBI says home title lock is one of the fastest growing crimes out there. Brace yourself, because having your credit cards stolen is nothing compared to the hell you're in for once an identity thief takes control of your

home's title. You know, everything is stored online these days, and that means that your home's title is available for thieves too. And they're not just domestic thieves, international cyber criminals, and they are targeting Americans. Why because people like you have equity in your home. And so what the bad guys do is get access to your home's title, they replace it with an alias, and then they borrow every penny they can against your home's equity. It's a huge problem.

I mentioned this before, and I wanted to just just before we went to the break there and I mentioned this fraud ster in Detroit and how this is the other part of the opioid crisis is that unsavory, untrustworthy doctors and others, uh you know who who prescribe pills and get involved in these schemes because the pills have a very they're very valuable in the street, you know, selling them illegally things like an oxycon and they just

ruined people's lives and they're so powerful. This guy Rashid his last dame, I'm trying to find his first name. He faces life in prison for a hundred and thirty two million dollar fraud scheme here where he, according to the Detroit News, recruited homeless people as patients, sent phony bills to Medicare, and subjected drug addicts to unnecessary back injections and then prescribe powerful pain medication that so that I could be sold on the street. Yeah, he's in

a lot of trouble. He had like a gold Lamborghini though, so there's so he had that going for him, which is nice. Dexter in San Antonio, what's on your mind, sir? Hey Mark? On a lighter note, I'm thinking that you need to give Nancy Pelosi her own theme song. And I'm torn between the Wicked Witch of the West theme from The Wizardly Odd or uh if I only had a brain, the Scarecrow song. And I'm really kind of torn as too, which one I think would be better?

I see Dexter is a musical theater buff. Not really, I just I I every time I listened to her, I think, when are they going to acknowledge that she is now suffering from all timers. Hey be nice, it's uh, I'm just telling you she's got the symptoms. She's got the symptoms. Anyway. Uh, that's not what I wanted to call and talked about. Have you been seeing Elon Musk's tweets about the media thing that they have no credibility and that's why Trump was elected? No, but this sounds amazing.

Do I need to track these down? Yeah? I think you ought to, because now he is claiming he's going to set up a media watch group, which you really love this. He's gonna call it Pravda. Huh. All right, well, thank you Dexter for the heads up on that. I'll take a look. I didn't know anything about those Elon Musk tweets. He's a smart dude, he's a visionary, he's a real deal. So I'll give it a shot and uh, there have it. Um. Oh yeah, the the Cuomo Sarah

Huckaby Sanders throw down. I want to break that down with you coming up next. If you think having your credit card stolen is bad, it's nothing compared to home title theft. Everything is online these days, that includes your home's title and thieves at home and all over the world hunt homeowners here in America because we have equity,

and guess what, they'll steal that equity. They will take you off your home's title and add an alias, then borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars using your home's equity, and then sticking you with the payments. You're not gonna know until you get a late payment notice. Identity theft programs don't protect you. Now, that does insurance. But home title Lock safeguards your home's title from cyber thieves and hackers by putting an online perimeter around your home's title.

The instant they detect someone tampering with it, they're on it. They'll help you, they'll shut it down. This is for pennies a day, folks. Home title Lock protects your most valuable asset.

The I G has

looked at his leadership model and found lacking. At the end of the day, the reason he jumped into the middle of the election was Garci blied there was some intelligence compromising Uh the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch. I think the Department of Justice was in the tank for Clinton. Uh. The FBI did not do a very good job of looking at the Clinton email investigation. It was a sham investigation. There was insubordination or belligerent, arrogant attitude by the FBI director,

and that pattern continued. It was do what I want to do the way I want to do. For example, he uh, he suspected Lauretta Lynch of of misconduct, and yet he never kept memos of their meetings, but he kept a memo from day one with President Trump. He serves at the pleasure of the President. And if in fact he's arrogant, if in fact he's insubordinate, uh, if in fact he has a double standard four Hillary uh and against Trump, all of those things are reasons to

terminate him. The reality is, this is a indictment of the behavior of Comy more than sufficient to show he should have been terminated. I g report it's gonna be out next week. It is gonna be a rough one,

I think for Comey and McCabe. In fact, all of the initial information we have all of the the the tidbits that have been released, I guess you could say leaks in advance of the official unveiling of this Inspector General poor from the Department of Justice indicates that, uh, we're gonna find out that that Comy is every bit as unctious and self maneuver you know, self entitled maneuvering. It just a bureaucratic, slimy guy, as I've been telling you all along. That's what I think. That's what I

think we're gonna find out. But the big take away from it could be there was ample ground to fire Comey. And if the President had ample ground to fire Comy as he did, then what is this whole obstruction farce that they are trying to run with in the media and and even include it into the Mueller probe? What's the what's the purpose of of that? How could that be?

If Comy's own inspector or former Inspector General at the Department of Justice finds wrongdoing in Comy's actions, as he certainly will, there's absolutely no excuse, absolutely no excuse whatsoever for what Comy did by stepping in front of Loretta Lynch that whole press conference that was comy just couldn't help himself. He wanted to be the one, the one honest man at the center of the drama. It's unacceptable. That was not his job, that was not his role.

And the only reason that Redda Lynch allowed to happen was that the alternative for her was to just show everybody how corrupt and swampy the whole Obama Clinton circle was. So, you know, this is gonna be a tough week for them, as I've been saying, big week in the news, coming up North Korea Summit next week in Singapore, and you also are gonna have the the i G Report released and then some hearings on Capitol Hill about it. So we're gonna have a lot, a lot to talk about

next week on this one. But I also wanted to get a little bit of this. Cuomo Sanders a bro Cuomo A Sarah Huckaby Sanders. You get in all your macros, do you lift? Uh? He said he's getting a primetime show at CNN now, So I don't know what they I don't know what they're doing over at CNN. Anyway, She went on the show last night. Give her, give her credit for We're going to the lines. Then I don't think Sara Huckaby Sanders is afraid of anybody. And this is how some of it went. It was really

some some worthwhile exchanges play clip one. Do you believe that this is sustainable? This dynamic where we come at you with questions about what's true and what isn't and those questions don't get answered. Do you think that by saying we stink, we don't like veterans, I don't think we are bad for America. The President says that we're enemies of America. Do you think that that works for you long term? Look at what I think is important to remember is that you guys get to ask the questions,

but you can't always complain about the answers. You constantly ask the same question over and over and over again and expect different answers and then get mad when the answers don't change. No, the job is to get information and report the news. Unfortunately, you guys quit reporting the news. She's right, CNN is not in the relaying a narrative business. The narrative of events that are happening around the world

and here at home that matters to people. They're in the narrative creation business with a clear political bias in effect all the time. That's what they do. That is their day in and day out. It is now their mantra. Sarah, how can we standers continue with the play clip too? When I can read a news story and I have no idea what side of the story the reporter is on, that's a good news story. You'll be hard pressed to

find a lot of news that looks like that. That the story is completely even handed, That one side isn't one more right than other. That's something isn't demonstrably true. Everything is unknown the news. That's not the truth. Reporting facts and letting other people make the decisions. If you want to answer the questions, Sarah, how can people do that? I answer questions all day, every day, and it's when I spent every minute I'm sitting here at nine o'clock

at night answering questions to you. It is indeed, isn't it amazing? Notice how Cuomo is like, I mean, you don't even answer questions while he's sitting there in his new show on CNN asking her questions that she is answering. I mean, you don't even like, you know, no questions for you. Right. Oh wait, that was the question. Oh play three, John. Nobody thinks, except really right now the president and maybe you in this moment, that this is

a witch hunt. These are real questions, it's a real investigation. We've seen real indictments and lots of different threads to the story. But I understand that spin. You see, that's editorializing. See we can pull this apart. She's there saying, you are doing Chris Cuomo, you you know, put down the protein shake, bro. You are doing a an opinion show. Under the guys of being a straight news show. You

are doing an opinion show. This is an opinion show that I am on speaking from the perspective of Sarah Kaby Sanders, And you guys aren't honest about that. You don't recognize that fact. So what what is one to make of it? Right? What are we to think about it? Oh? Well, you know, it's it's her fault for not during the questions.

And this is just nonsense, it's garbage. When he says that it is spin to call something a witch hunt, No, actually, that's the opinion of people who are allowed to have opinions. It is spin to refer to their statement as spin because you're supposed to be a quote journalist. And this is what they don't get. I mean, look to see An.

They're lucky they've got Seen An International and the the Airport Channel, and they have all these built in legacy ways because that the their their whole mission, or I shouldn't say their mission their brand, because it's not the mission. The mission is take Trump down. The brand is we go down the center world. You know. Notice I don't I don't come after MSNBC all the time here on

the show. And by the way, people who would say to me, oh Buck, you worked at See Yeah, So I understand what happens there, and I left my own volition despite what anybody may think. And I could prove it if they want me to. I just don't want to be there anymore because it was just honest, flat, flat out. Uh. But they don't really understand this, and that's and they have made bringing Trump down that that is the mission of the entire organization. There's not a

news organization. It is a glorified pack with a media arm and the pack is stop Trump at all costs. That is what CNN has become. Cuomo goes even further, by the way, on this show where he's claiming to be some kind of you know, legitimate nonpartisan journalists, play for starting to regret because I wanted to chances at it, because I think it hurts your credibility. But I gave

you the opportunities. You made of them what you wanted, all right, it's not it's not very vulnerable with my credibility and the fact that I think by sitting here right now and taking questions for two shows the type of person I am shows my effort to provide information and frankly, to be in an environment that's not exactly friendly, that's not exactly one that I think a lot of

people in my position would come and sit in. And I think that speaks a lot to my credibility, And if you want to focus on my credibility, I think that's something that you should certainly look at. I like how Sarah doesn't take it. Did you hear the condescending tone there? You know, I gave you all the chances, and I think you know, you know, I think you had your chance in it. Uh. Sorry, he wouldn't speak that way to a Democrat guest. I know he wouldn't

speak that way to a Democrat guest. They had people on panels with me at sea, and then I remember that this is the way that is over there that were friendly with the different hosts or whatever who would come on to talk about terrorism, and then they would come after me and they would try to even impute my credibility to speak on the issue. And I'm looking around, I'm like, I have more credibility in this than anybody

you've got sitting on this panel. People don't know anything, never worked a case, never been overseas, never been in a war zone, don't know a damn thing. But Anderson Cooper and Jake Kaffer and Don Lemon are all very respectful of them because they're Democrats. Me always a target on me because I'm a Republican. Same thing with Sarah Hugaby Sanders goes on there with with bro Cuomo. Yeah, and they wonder, they wonder why the ratings are down

the tubes. I mean, look, I think I wish, I mean, I I wish people would just see it for what it is and make their decisions based upon the reality. And uh. They are a they are an organization devoted to the propagation of the Russia collusion, lie and the end of the Trump presidency, and they need a full accounting and honestly, a a full reckoning with that fact before they can change. All Right, We've we've got much

more common teams. Stay right there. Well, everybody, I just want to tell you that, in case you were worrying, the inclusiveness police are out in full force and they've got something. They've got a doozy for you. They've got something really exciting to tell you about. I know some

of you have been very upset. I'm sure that first of all, you're like buck emojis really okay, I understand, but emojis have now become a reflection of like so many things in our culture, there is a political correctness that comes into play. When we were talking about emojis, anyway, there is an emoji that has that was a salad emoji. So Google developers, they're they're serious about this because they're really into inclusion and diversity at Google and they're making

it a big priority. So the the emoji for their Android phones used to have a salad that had tomatoes and lettuce in it with an egg. And you know what they've done, folks, because they want to make sure everyone feels included in this wild and crazy world we live in. This this has gotten a bunch of attention on social media. I know, you think it's crazy they've removed the egg. Why because they don't want vegans like,

kid you not. They don't want vegans to feel left out because until this point, vegans will be like, uh, do you like feel like I just went in MIODI It has like everything and like putin doesn't necessarily have to come from the animal men, Like look at that little egg, do you He was gonna be a chicken and he's like, you know, tweet tweet and like whatever. But OVID now it's just like you're just gonna eat it and like stuff. And it's still me me because

it's like a chicken but not really. It's like, no, the chicken, the egg wasn't fertilized, and if it was, you probably should not be eating it. Uh. So that's what they're doing now with Google. This is what one of the most advanced telecommunications companies in the world is spending its time on. Rather astonishing when you think about it, but it is in fact what's what's going on? So you know, here we are dealing with this, and and

I just feel like it's reflected. It's a reflecttiontion. It is a reflection of how much these days is politicized that even salad has now become political. Remember they had to get rid of the gun emoji and replace it We're the squirk gun because they thought that that would somehow have a role in I don't know, lowering gun gun violence or making there be less gun violence in our culture. Uh that is you know that, that's what's going on here. That's the world that we live in now, folks.

I know it's crazy stuff. I wish it weren't so. But also, vegans tend I'm just putting this out. Vegans tend to be a little militant about their eating habits, you know, Like I'm Celiac, so I always have to say. We had a meeting earlier today where we're gonna you here in the new office on Sunday, going over all kinds of stuff meetings. I mean, it's because we're launching next week. It's on all hands on deck situation down

here in the DC swamp. And they're saying, well, buck, me need to get you something glued for I said, no, don't worry. Just give me some protein, you know, just give me something I don't I don't need anything fancy. I'm I'm an easy going kind of guy. Just give

me some animal and some veggies and we're fine. But with vegans, it's like, excuse me, man, like really like making the smoothie on the same counter tap is like that chicken salad sandwich because like you can't you know, it's like dead chicken and like that's bad for the air and stuff. I don't know whatever vegans think. You see that thing. By the way, a while ago, they're saying that the only way to save the planet is to stop eating. I'm serious about this, the only way

to save the planet. This was an article I think in the Guardian over the weekend is just stop eating red meat, bacon, hamburger, and I was like, the planet's toast, the planet's toast. You know why that is, by the way, because the farming for red meat, they say is is doing so much damage to the ozone true story, cow farts, the methane from cow flatulence more damaging to the atmosphere then all the CEO two that is being belched out there, which I guess it isn't belched usually, but the cow

farts that's actually a thing. So there you have a cows or cows are strongers. That's the great cow revenge after all of the milking and slaughtering for delicious, delicious, tasty burgers. That a burger today for launch. It was really great. Uh, the cows are gonna get us back by overheating the planet and killing us all with our own atmosphere. Mike, how how much sleep are you losing

over this? By the way, Oh my gosh. Yeah. But but you can be happy to know the Google's removing eggs from the salad emoji because they don't want vegans to feel left out. That's how inclusive we are now. They still want Christians to bake the cake for people that they disagree with, but at least vegans won't feel left out. That that's their version of tolerance and inclusiveness. We we gotta get to uh a Samantha be faux apology coming up, and then maybe I'll get to some

some good news about a pardon. We got a little audio for you on that one, and I have will do a whole bunch of role call the next hour. Our friend Inez Felture will be joining. She will be discussing education policy with us, and also equal pay, which gets people fired up. Inez is great with equal pay because he's just like not a thing, not a thing. They want to make it a thing, but what they say it is is not actually a thing. That and more coming up. Third out. I saw a line today

for Starbucks. It had like fifty people in it. They were ordering mocha soy frapp Whatever's guess what. I didn't have to wait in that line. You know why. I went back to my office, grab some Black Rifle coffee, and bam, got back to spreading freedom, just like the folks that Black Rifle would want it.

Join the coffee or die revolution, my friends. Buck Sexton mission to coding the news and disseminating information. Who is actionable intelligence? Make no mistake American rank, You're a great American Again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Former CIA analysts Sexton, No, you know a lot of people were offended and angry that I used an epithet to describe the President's daughter and advisor last week. It is a word I have used on the show many times, hoping

to reclaim it. This time I used it as an insult across the line. I regret it, and I do apologize for that. The problem is that many women have heard that word at the worst moments of their lives. A lot of them don't want that word reclaimed. They want it gone, and I don't blame them. I don't want to inflict more pain on them. I want this show to be challenging, and I wanted to be honest,

but I never intended it to hurt anyone. Kind of an apology from Samantha be there about calling the president's daughter and senior White House advisor the C word. Notice how she she initially presents this, Oh, I was really I like to reclaim the word. Oh okay. So so she's had You know that there's a little bit of an attempt at mitigation here instead of just a full on, all out apology. And then there's also a repositioning of herself as understanding the plight of women. You know, she's

like this feminist out there. You know what's a really unfeminist thing to do, Samantha by to say something despicable about a woman as accomplished, U, intelligent, beautiful. And I don't know am I allowed to say that? And people are the beauty the anti talk about beauty police gonna come after me. I don't. I don't know what's it. I don't even know what's allowed anymore. I'm not the only one. I feel like beautiful is becoming an epithet. You're not allowed to say that anymore. You, Oh my gosh,

you're undermining that person's integrity by calling them beautiful. I don't know if I call a guy handsome? Is that okay? I don't know. You know, it just strikes me is we're no longer we no longer even understand what the rules are because they change every day. But it's really unfeminist to to attack a you that someone's wife, mother, daughter, and a very prominent American who I would note should

be a role model for young girls. They should look up to Avanca and think, oh, here's somebody who is in a committed relationship, married, had kids after getting married. Is raising those kids? Uh? You know? Iv Anka, Yeah, she comes from her privileged background, but as I've told you before, I knew here growing up, a lot of kids from privileged backgrounds in New York City not turn out anywhere near as well as Ivanka did. She works hard, smart. I just it was so grotesque and over the line.

And I have to reiterate here that with Samantha be said was in the prompter, folks. It was not a slip of the lip. It wasn't you know, caught up in a heated moment. And you know, she can't even just really she she can't just apologize. She has to frame the apology in a way that she reclaims a little bit of her standing within the feminist movement or something, or you know, she's she's looking for the feminist left to come to her aid on this, and I just

find it, you know, really unseemly. You know, apologize or don't apologize, don't pretend to apologize. She keeps her show, though, you'll notice, not canceled, not off the year, and not her all of her writers, including those that probably put that line in there, the executive producer of the show who approved it, They're not. No one's going. None of them are losing their jobs. Somebody who's not even just

a conservative, but somebody associated with Trump or conservatism. Absolutely, what I've gotten fired, absolutely would have lost not just that person's job, but the jobs everybody who works with them. But we have different we have different rules for liberals, says, you know, the double standard. It is bright red. It is a bright red Neon sign. The double standards that we see. It could not be any more obvious really

than it is. So there you have. And then also I just want to note she does have sponsors who are sponsor sponsors who have fled her show. We'll see if if they come back we'll see now. I want to a happier note for just a moment here. Alice Maria Johnson was not pardon but had her sentence commuted. So it's an active clemency. It's not you shouldn't have been prosecuted, it's not you've got railroad, it's none of that. It's you've done well in prison, you have reformed, you

deserve a second chance. That's what the President decided. And I we have just a little bit of audio here to share of Alice Maria Johnson, who President Trump. Remember, she's African American grandma in factor great grandma serve twenty plus years for a conspiracy drug trafficking charge, so must have been a large amount of drugs, no question about that. Uh. Or or a very serious drug case because she got

life life in prison. Uh. You know, you tend not to get that for anything that's not an egregious violation. But she uh, she was reunited with her family. She has a second chance. And we just want to play some audio give you a kind of an uplifting moment here. Please go for it. And Alice, will you if you had a chance to talk to the president, what would

you tell him? I would tell President Trump, thank you so much that I am going to be that one that is going to make you so proud, and I hope that my life will encourage him to do this for others too. She's now a symbol of serving your time, serving your time well, reforming yourself, being a model prisoner while you were serving, and now she's out. I think it's just really astonishing to watch so many liberals in the media who they can't bring themselves to be happy

for this woman. Because Trump is the one that commuted her sentence. They're now picking at oh why did why didn't Obama commute her? Why? You know, they're they're asking all these questions, are saying, oh, well, this is just a one off. You know, Trump doesn't do anything for the black community that they can't even allow him this.

They can't say, you know what, Trump, I might disagree with you, and this is now speaking from the liberal perspective, might disagree with you on so many different things, but on this, you made the right move. They're so hypocritical in the media and and we're all sick of it. I know you're sick of it, but we've got our friend in s Felter from the Federalists joining in just a moment, You're gonna talk to us about equal pay and the pay gap, which is a lie. Stay with me.

Our sponsored this half hour is a fantastic new novel called A Newbis. The enigmatic U S President is dead. ISIS is attacking on multiple fronts, and the U. S Special Forces call on a mercenary cyber warrior to stop the crisis. This is a Nubis. An aging marine sergeant and battle warren Army major face an enemy that turns the Internet into a terrorist weapon and makes our existing concepts of security archaic. A catastrophe of biblical proportions is

about to unfold. The new president is facing a ruthless, relentless caliphate, and our military and elected leaders have no means to stop it. The only real questions are when and where? This is Anubis. Today's headline show us what is happening in the Middle East. Author Eric Anderson reveals the frightening possibilities that remain. Eric Anderson is a former

undercover US intelligence agent. His new novel from Done Books is a Nubis That's a and U b I s now on sale at Amazon dot Com or visit done books dot com. Okay, everybody, you may not have seen this, but there is a trend out there. In fact, it is trending today the Equal Pay Act. A lot of folks are trying to push this because it is an anniversary when it regards the Equal Pay Act, and clearly this is a top agenda item for the social justice Left.

Inez Felcher is with us now. She's a senior contributor at the Federal She's gonna speak to us about the Equal Pay Act and it has great to have you. Thanks for having me, Buck. Okay, So first off, what's it's the it's some anniversary today of Equal pay right. Yeah, so the originally Equal Pay Access passed in n So this is the fifty five anniversary of the Act, and the luck is using this as an opportunity to advocate

for strengthening that act. So initially this just said you can't pay men and women differently based on sex, right, pretty basic thing. In fact, all fifty states already that illegal. This was the federal law that made it illegal. Um, I think most of us agree that you shouldn't be paid differently because you're a woman. But the additional things a lot not to add on here are going to take it away beyond that? What what do they want to do? I mean, what's the you know, Equal Pay

Act today? This is the the hashtag that's getting all kinds of attention. I'm assuming that this ties into uh, you know, like women in Hollywood's then it should be paid what the male co stars are and all this stuff, right, or the pay gap. This is all really about the pay gap, the mythological pig gap, that's right. So the less really likes to highlight this um average difference between

women's earnings and men's earnings. So if you's add up all of men's earnings and you take the media um and then add up all of women's earnings and take that median women make quote seven seven cents from the dollar, that's not at all indicative of the fact that women

are paid differently just for being women. In fact, it's indicative of different choices that really make than men, in terms of occupation, what they major in in college, many all hours they work per week, and how flexible those hours are, years of experience in the workforce, and all kinds of other legitimate reasons why the average woman might make less than the average man without actually discriminating against

anyone who's doing the same work. You got Kirsten Gila Brand out there tweeting out the equal Backs past fifty five years ago, but the pay gaps still exists. Gender or race should never impact your paycheck. This discrimination hurts women, working families, and our economy. That's why we need to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay no matter what. A couple of things here. First of all,

what the heck is the Paycheck Fairness Act? I mean, there's the Equal Pay Act past fifty five years ago, the Paycheck Fairness Act. How would that even be implemented? Yeah, so that's just the update that I was referring to that the Left wants to pass. It would shift the burden to employers to prove that any differential um between male and female employees in their workforce is not due

to discrimination. Right, So it shifts the burden to the for the employer to then have to explain to the government, Oh, this is why I pay Sally fifty five thousand dollars and Bob sixty five thousand dollars. Right that that's an enormous burden for businesses. When in fact, there's no evidence that there's any kind of widespread discrimination based on sex. And I mentioned earlier, these average differences in pay actually

has been uh. The the explanation that I might be due to discrimination has been widely debunked, even by ACT demic and and feminist organizations. When you take into account all of these other factors like occupation, major work hours, you know, experience, all of those things. Uh, that the gap shrinks to something that's just a few percentage points and we don't really know why that is. But there's no real evidence to suggest that it's discriminates on any

kind of wider skill. I just want to know problem. I just want to know if, if in fact, the pay gap is real. And for anybody listening, if you want to see one of the most amazing YouTube interviews in recent memory, go check out the Jordan's Peterson interview with a BBC journalist I forget her name over the pay gap because I can't do it justice except to say you have to just watch it and listen to She just keeps saying, well, you know the pay gap is real. Are you saying it's not real? It's real?

You say it's not real. It's like a religious belief for some people. Uh. If it were the case, though it is. I just feel like any intelligent capitalist running a company would say, well, my single biggest cost in my business, and and for most businesses is in fact human capital. It's the people, it's your it's your payroll costs. So if you could save close by just having a company full of women, when you just do that, you can think of the think of the edge you'd have

on your competitors. Absolutely, the left is all about greedy capitalists, right, um And And if in fact this were true, of course there would be at the very least there would be some bright female entrepreneurs who would start businesses and hire an all female workforce and massively um and be able to tap on that that savings to the consumer

and dominate the competition. But in fact, there's there's very little evidence of this, that this gap exists a digit discrimination and actually, um it was It's very interesting uh factor that came up in this debate just a few months ago because it was published that Uber actually has a sex wage gap between male and female drivers. Um. That is particularly interesting because super plays by formula, there is no subjective decision making and no one to discriminate.

It is a pure formula. And even by paying by formula, male and female drivers made different and that generated a pay gap. Uh so, really it's trying to put this mister rest now. I want to get you really fired up. We're speaking to in as filter everybody. She's seen your contribute to the Federalist that does a lot of great writing and research on all these things. There's another hashtag out there, rethink school. What's this all about? Because I

know you're you're a school reform expert. I'm actually I'm not familiar with the hashtag. So I'm not sure what that's about. Well, it's about it's the U S Department of Education put out Swiss students who are enrolled in pre vocational or vocational programs are enrolled in joint vocational programs which combined both school and work elements, essentially vocational training. What say you about vocational training? Yeah, the hashtag is kind of irrelevant, but it's just how people are talking

about it today. What do you think about vocational training in our system? Absolutely so, um, as you mentioned, we actually are have a lot to look to in Europe on vocational training. The German system the Swiss system, Uh, they are both way more flexible than our system. And one particular element of the German system I think is really important and we should look at duplicating here, is to have a lot of different on and off ramps

for different kinds of credentials. Right. So the way that we do it's here, UM, you go to high school. If you graduate, you either you're looking at um, just taking a job with a high school degree, you're looking at going to a four year college, or maybe you're looking at going to a two year associate's degree UM or some kind of certification. So those are very exclusive paths, and once you get on one of those paths, it

can be very hard to start over, right. Whereas the way that Germany does it, it's more like accable credential. So at around the age of fifteen or sixteen, German kids laying into you know, various vocational tracks and including an academic one that we would would compare to our

four year university. But the differences that they can jump in and out of those tracks at any point, so they sat credentials that take a year or two years to build, and then you can go on and do an academic career if you want to, after you've done your vocational track. And so let's just provides a lot more flexibility for people rather than having this this idea that everybody has to go to a four year university or you're not going to be successful. We've seen that

that's not true. And in the process, we've overloaded an entire generation that we've told you have to go to college. You have to go to college, or you're not going to be successful. We've overloaded them with an enormous amount of debt, and it turns out their degrees are not actually worth that much at the end of the day.

How is this administration doing, as from from a conservatives perspective, in a how's this administration doing on school choice, on on some of the you know, people used to talk a lot about Bobby Jindall before that response to the State of Union address, you know, but how he's done good things in Louisiana for schools and on the conservative alternative in the realm of schools across the board. How are we doing here? Is Betsy de Voss making some headway?

I mean going into the mid terms? Is there a story to tell the American people about, Hey, conservatives have better answers on this than the other guys or Republicans in this case. Yeah, I mean, I definitely think that conservatives have better answered to fix a monopolistic school system that's really not working for everyone. Um and in fact,

it's working for very few students and parents. Uh. But I mean, this is really not a story about Betsy Divoss, because Betsy Devosti, even though she's a really strong champion of school choice, Bete the boss is the Secretary of Education. At the end of the day, the FEDS only put in ten of the money her per pupils for education in this country, it still is local and state funds, and so the states really control education in this country. And that's the way it ought to be. That's the

way that our constitutions designed the system. Uh. So that's what the loss is a good advocate and a voice that really this is something we ought to be putting pressure as conservatives on our state representatives are local representatives to go ahead and grant educational freedom in a more broad way. The schools choice programs that are currently inactive are actually really small and targeted, right, so they create a lot of noise and their teachers, whom is very,

very angry because they're easily angered. But in the at the end of the they usually only small percentage of kids, about four to five percent in the states that have the largest programs, And really it's educational choice should be for everyone. Conservatives shouldn't be ashamed of or or kind of shooting ourselves in the foot before we even get it to the negotiating table. We should be opening with

the position that school choices for everyone. The kid doesn't fit in a high performing suburban school and prefers to go to, for example, a parochial school down the street, then then we should support that kid and that family in the choice of fuss for him or her in as felt for everybody's senior contributor at the Federalists go to the Federalist dot com for her latest and has always great to have you. Almost talk to you soon, Thanks so much, alright, seem when we come back, roll

call is upon us. Stay with me. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Bucks turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Yeah, it is what happened too. I know that was a horn section, but what happened to the saxophone? The saxophone was a thing. You know, you used to listen to Sacks music. Sometimes you'd hear places people start

making jokes about Kenny g and the Sacks and the clarinet. No, for real, you used to walk around the streets and you would hear people just ripping out some tunes on the Sacks. And you just don't get that anymore. Right, I don't know what happened. It fell out of favor. I'm just thinking about that right now. Remember in the Simpsons, that guy that like teaches Lisa the Sacks. It was the thing first up here, roll call. And if you want to be a part of roll Call, it's a

great process. It's a straightforward process. You just go to face book dot com, slash buck Sexton, save you all of your wonderful thoughts, and I will share them with hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Folks. That's uh, that's what we'll do here. So there you go. First up Andy, he writes schill Tie great show as usual.

Two quick comments. First, have you ever considered that your advice for being read on roll call is the same as your advice for cooking eggs more butter less heat? Very clever, Andy, I had not thought of that before. Second, I just listened to last Friday's podcast. Before you write off acapella music, you really need to listen to the group straight no chaser, mm hmm oh. Pentatonics, by the way, was the name of the group before that. I was trying to think of that. People are always like, have

you listened to Pentatonics before? Because they're amazing. Bump bump bump, bump, bump bump bump, um Billie genus, not my law over, you know, no, okay, no, it is no acapella. No, just stop step away from the acapella telling you I was subjected to so much of it in college. You know, you know a lot of like. I like the I like the way you work it bopapla ba, I like to bag it up. I like the way you work it. No dignity. I mean it's like, no, no, do not

do that song acapella or or or ever. Man, all right, we've got Tony here. I noticed on recent podcasts, your lamentations on the lack of good gluten free cheese steaks, my voices back to day, as you can tell after having a cold for days. Very nice. My friend Jay Green owns a shop and has a separate gluten free kitchen. It's in suburban Philadelphia. People come from states away for it and it is highly recommended and reviewed. I eat

his full gluten menu regularly and it's very good. If you ever find yourself in Philly, I'll treat Jay's Steak and Hoagi Joint, Parkland, Pennsylvania, Shields High. Hey, Tony, you know what, man, I'm gonna check it out next time I'm in Philly area. And Philly is a great town, so I won't be won't be too long, I'm sure before I make my way up there, and especially these

days because I'm a swamp dweller, so wompy. Hey, Mike and John, can we get some like sounds of the swamp to play in the background, you know, like when they do the National geographic Okey Finocchi or whatever and you hear all like the You know what I mean, Mike, you can do that, right. We need we need to like lean into this whole swamp Thing a little bit, or maybe borrow from Did swamp Thing have a cool? That's it was? It was a movie, right yeah, yeah yeah, But but also it was a TV show I think

on USA for a while. I used to watch a lot of USA. Uh. You know Angela Landsberry Murder she wrote was like ma jam when I was twelve. Uh, but yeah, I think uh, I think we could get maybe some of the intro from the intro music from swamp Thing. If it's good, we'll see. I mean, it's not gonna be mcgey for good see what I mean about USA, but it'll be good. All right. Uh, we have next up, Eric l O L. I don't give a damn about the Eagles. Oh I thought you're Lindsay Graham.

Impression was pretty good. Well, thank you, Eric. My Lindsay Graham impression. It's not my best, but it's not terrible. I get savage, by the way. When I try a new impression and it's a want want, you know, people are like, don't ever do that again. I'm like, whoa. So we're all friends. I thought we were in the trust tree that the hut, you know. I thought we're all buddies. What what changed makes me? Sad? Uh? Mark? Okay, you know what? Actually, producer, Mike, of all of the

accents shared in the Freedom Hut, do you have a favorite? Um, you gotta just pick one, Man or John. I'll let you go first because John has been with me for seven years. John, who is it? Are your Bernie fan? Your Bernie is good? Yeah? I like your Clinton. That's good too, Your Bil Clinton? Thank you, sir. Your Hillary one greats. You know, people are very like polarized on Hillary because it doesn't sound like her, but they like that I capture the essence of Hillary with it. That's

really what it comes down to. Your big cis was excellent. She misses you, John, that's right. How many of you remember Jen at the Politano back in the day. Hey, everybody, you know, I just want to tell you that d HS is working hard to Interestingly enough, minea Politano and my union organizer are very similar. It's almost like their siblings. This sounds very very much the same. Uh. And Mike has still not said anything. So that's okay, Mike, I was waiting just jump in. What do you got? What

do you what do you got? Chief? I like that Hillary's you know is great off the little little beaten path here. I like the is it your Chuck Grassley where you mumble Who's who's the guy? Oh gurgling with Gurgan? Gurgan? That's good. Yeah, like that one because I swear I could do the voice over for him on CNN and nobody would know the difference. And because that's the only impression you do where you do it, and he's a face immediately pops into my head like I just see him.

I see him that sour puss face on CNN doing that. That's exactly what he sounds. And just just for fun for maybe like Friday, can we do a a like montage of some Gurgan talking about previous administrations and stuff and just so people can hear. Of course it sounds like, yeah, it's not gonna sound the safe because he always has, even for Nixon rescursion. Uh yeah, yeah sure, dude. Jake Harney, old times sake Smarmie Smurf, I don't even remember what

it was. I don't know what John. That's John's kicking an old school here. For the original Saturday Squad, we used to do Smarmy Smurf Jay Carney all the time and we started calling him just smarmye smurf, and I don't. I can't even John, your man. I feel old. I can't even remember smart you know what. I'm gonna go back and listen. I think it's like Jake, like he's kind of like down there, but I don't really remember. I gotta get back and get into that. But thank

you John for breaking me down memory lane. I don't. That's a good one. And big sis man. I want her to get an administration job just so I can do a whole segments like, Hey, so the t s A needs you to turn around and cough all right, don't fight it like I just need people to just saying all right, David up next? Oh whoa? David wrote a very long note here. Hey buck Dave from Highlands, New Jersey enjoyed our on air chat a few weeks back. My roll call note, there's a still a deafening promo

in your rotation. It is he's holding the line for America often I'm not fast enough to die my volume down. Uh promo blah blah, too loud audio engineer. Okay, millions of buck ears will thank you, John. Are we doing a promo that's way too loud. That's the one that comes out of the break everything he's everything's compressed to the same level. So it's the way it was originally produced. You know what I'll do, I'll bring it down just

for him a little bit more. Yeah, bring it that a little And by the way, I note that I gave myself yesterday on some of our re intros where it's it's like the ones where we're doing uh you know, he's holding on. We gotta get new new bed music in those. So that's a note to self. We've been running those for a long time. Our new show in true kicks show intro kicks. But but our bed music is kind of like I don't even know where it came from. I think it was just we inherited it

from the previous iteration of the show. So we gotta get that going, you know what, John can can we roll into a just a breath a breather here and come back and the shot roll call on the other side. Let's do that, alright, team, stay right here, because I want to get into your thoughts and less of mine. Uh so just give me a minute, we'll be right back, all right. The roll call continues here in the Freedom

of Oh but let me quick note. I know I said freedom of podcast this week, It's gonna be next week, folks. We just had a couple of technical things and the the official announcement for my project here in the Swamp comes out Monday. It's in motion going on Monday, so I can tell you all about it Monday. A lot of fun to discuss that, uh. But also next week will be when we can get the first the first podcast out for the freedom hut. So I'm sorry that we haven't. You know, it's the buck is taken on

a lot. But enough enough of the me. Let's get to your thoughts here about the show, about the country, about the world. That sounded a little grandiose, but let's just roll with it. Alan, Alan writes Buck, I love the show so many times I laugh out loud or want to send you a message about a topic, but forget later. I was listening to your June six podcast and at the end other fan mentioned how it was

the anniversary of D Day. Now you and I are probably the same age and can and watch all the great documentaries and the History Channel about World War Two. When I turned it on last night to see if they had any because it was June six, they had freaking Palm Stars on and for the next couple of hours it's followed by American Pickers or some other show that no one would learn that much history about. There could have been something on earlier, but you would think

that they could dedicate a whole day to it. Again, love the show and keep up the good work. You're my fellow zennial A MF and Shields High. Well Alan, great to hear from you, Mann. Thank you for the for the awesome note. And look, I've been bemoaning this for a while. I've been trying to get into UM. You know, I've been trying very hard to uh find a way to bring back more of the history that

we've lost from history Channel's wived on this podcast. The Siege of Malta is gonna be the next Shields High. I'm gonna get to it. I just when when you guys fear here, what's going on on Monday. I'm part of launching a whole new network. Okay, so that's what I've been doing. We are launching a whole new network. Not for radio UM, but yeah, so that's gonna be announced all, it'll be in the the media on Monday.

So that's why I swear I'm not dilly dallying as much as I wish I was just cooking lots of delicious food and and actually getting to the gym to fight the dad bodi is um. Although somebody pointed out to me this week, dad bob means you're cuddly. It means you like to just kind of chill. You know. You know some guy who I remember, I think it was a Navy seal a long time ago, told me that he doesn't really trust any guy over thirty with

a six pack, you know. I mean, I'm just saying, you know, you're like a little beer, You're like a little brie. You're probably not gonna have a six pack. But alan Um, World War two, I agree with you. Not nearly enough attention paid a D Day yesterday in the media, And uh yeah, you're you're correct, sir um. What else is up here? Uh? What else is up here?

We have Jack who writes the following Buck. Sorry, have to disagree with you vehemently on your With your take on the Alice Johnson clemency issue, you seem to be falling into the left trap by using the frame first time offender and non violent drug criminal. It appears very clear she was convicted under the federal drug kingpin statute. She was a leader of a narcotics importation distribution network

very different from normal drug distribution. I was involved as a county squat team member and medic in several cases where the Feds took the offenders under the kingpin statute. Some were older grandmothers and grandfathers, but they were so far from deserving mercy it is unreal. One got to the scene of a car crash that her son was in prior to police and remove the drugs that he had transported from New York. She had no concern about his and his passengers injuries, but fled with the drugs

so they would not be lost. The damage that is done on behalf of the kingpins violent crimes, including murder and maiming should never be forgotten. The Kingpins are never close enough to the violence to be convicted of those specific offenses, but the evidence most likely was presented in court for their cases about the violent crimes they suborned. Children in the communities that these maggots infect are locked

inside and unable to play. They live in fear. It is like getting the lawyers who protect the drug distribution networks. The evidence that presented in support of the ongoing criminal enterprise like RICO is what you should look into and reveal to those who are falling for the non violent

first time offender crowd. Many home invasion armed robberies are pled to grand larceny from a person non violent felony in order to get the conviction because the victims are less than reputable, despite the fact that the crime did occur and was quite violent. I absolutely respect your opinion, but I ask you to give this some thought and maybe see if someone involved in the case might speak out about it. Twenty two year might not be might be enough punishment, but she has not served her time.

The judge jury decided she owed much more likely because of the damage that she was responsible for. And the president can certainly do what he did. But it doesn't make Johnson a victim of the system because she is a black grandmother, great grandmother from Jack, a former SWAT. Remember you will notice I read the entirety of that message because I thought it was important, insightful and well written.

Uh and I I accept Jack's notion that I might have given more credit to this woman's, uh, this woman's case than I should have. I I like it, by the way, when people tell me that they think that I'm wrong, when they do it in the way that Jack does, when they present me with this is why I think you're wrong, And I really like to engage

with those arguments. Jack, let me say this. Look, I understand a lot of times prosecutors will take a lesser they'll they'll have a lesser charge on the table for somebody as part of the plea bargain, and oftentimes possess shan conspiracy. Those are charges that are used in place of what would be more scary sounding charges, but that

might be harder to prove. And the idea is, well, if they've got you on a certain degree of drug possession, they might not get you on attempted murder, right, but if you go away for twenty years on the drug possession charge, if it's enough weight, they may just give you that right instead of, well, I took a shot at a at another dealer and they're not gonna necessarily go for the attempted murder charge. Or you know you're part of a criminal conspiracy with violence as as a

part of it. So that's I think something to keep in mind here, uh, And I'm I appreciate you bringing it up, but but there's also the notion of clemency for prison cases. Uh, is not just about whether or not. It's not just about what the person did before they went in. It's what they do while they're in. It's the notion of rehabilitation and a second chance. And by

all accounts, Alice Johnson's time and reason was exemplary. She served twenty years and she wasn't in there for for murder, for treason, or for a crime that would have the death penalty attached to it. So I think that you look at a judgment call, I appreciate your perspective, but I will say that this is worth me looking into some more. And I will because I find your your argument and your perspective on this to be compelling. So thank you, Jack, and also thank you for keeping the

streets safe for all of the rest of us. I'm glad we got into some of that royal call today. We're obviously gonna do a whole lot more coming up tomorrow to be a freestyle Friday I'm gonna be still in the swamp tomorrow, by the way, so I'll be down here taking your calls, hanging out. Looking forward to it much to discuss huge news week coming up, so Tomoral will try to have some fun too. I don't want us to get too intense here in the hut, but we'll have that and more so. See you next time.
