Speaker 1

You are entering the freedom hunt. Some new documents drop today. That's right. We've got a three zero two which is the record that the FBI compiled of that important interview with General Flynn. But it leaves more questions than it answers. We'll get into that. And also a tragedy at the border that the Democrats are exploiting right away. What does that mean for our policy and also for the possible shutdown? That is more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show.

This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a great American Again The Buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the Buck Sex and Show everybody. We're in the midst of a freestyle Friday.

We're getting it started here. So you know, just late yesterday we had General General Flynn's case getting a possible boost of truth, finding out more information that would be I think quite necessary here to find out what's what's really going on. I mean, all along we've been having we've had people tell us, oh, you know, just don't lie to the FBI, Just don't lie to the FBI.

This whole thing doesn't pass the smell test. The only reason that anyone over to anyone went over to interview Flynn was because of a league of classified information the Washington Post. The only reason that General Flynn, in my view, didn't fight these charges is because they were also going to stack another very kind of mickey mouse process. He crime on top of this of a a violation a Foreign Agent Registration Act, and they were going to go

after his son too. And as a result of all the pressure they brought to bear, Flynn's had to say, fine, I lied, I lied. Why can't we know what was said in that room? Why can't we get full access to the FBI three O two? And also, why is it that we are supposed to treat the FBI's version of events as written out by some of these agents, including Peter Struck, who was the one who recorded the three O two and absolutely hated Trump. Why do we just take that as the be all and end all?

I mean the I I. You could say that Buck, that's the only record we have. But are we supposed to be okay with that? Are we supposed to think that that's enough? If there is evidence that Flynn lied in that interview. I think we get to see that. No, where is the evidence? Why can't we see this? Here's what the FBI and the dj released today. They released a three O two. Remember three O two is the

written report. When I was the NYPD, we called it a DD five, right, It's sort of a written report of what's gone on, whether it's the interview or the situation, or the information you get. And the FBI three O two that they released today is of Struck talking about the interview with Flynn when he's really also talking about something else, and it's six seven months after the incident.

FBI policy is that you should get the three two set up right away, and that if it's more than five days old, got a big problem on your hands six or seven months. Not only that, but the information. Remember this is only because Judge Sullivan, who is hip to the ways that the federal government plays games and understands the ways that prosecutors can stack the deck and do injustice to people, especially when there are political motivations at play. Judge Sullivan has requested for the court that

they produced this information. And you know what they produced. They produced the three or two from six months after the fact, what about the one from that day or that week. You know why we know it exists because in the one that the Muller team produced today, it references the other three O two. It references that there is a pre existing report, a contemporaneous report. And oh, by the way, the document from today also says, quote Struck and Blank both and we believe we know it's

another FBI agent people. His name is out there, but they don't release it for some reason. Both had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying. Flynn Struck Struck Struck, that's what it says, as quote bright but not profoundly sophisticated. The agents left Flynn in a collegial positive way. There was no discussion to follow up. Struck and Blank returned to FBI headquarters and brief McCabe and Blank on the interview.

McCabe briefed Komy Struck, and Struck was aware that someone and a long thing later argued about the FBI's decision to interview Flynn. This was controversial at the time. They think now that maybe actually Sally Yates was the one who was saying, what are you guys doing so you know, you know, who knows if that's true and what's really going on here. But all these people were saying, Oh,

you shouldn't have lied, You shouldn't have a lied. Yeah, there were arguments at the time, at the top reaches of the dj and the FBI about what are you doing. This guy's the incoming National security advisor. You're setting a perjury trap for him, sank to Komy McCabe. Oh, McCabe, who lied three times under oath? That guy, that guy better get criminally prosecuted. Don't let go of that. By

the way, don't forget about that. Remember McCabe, who's intimately involved in all this, intimately involved in the entrapman, the setup of Flynn. He's a known liar, he's a perjurer. He thinks he doesn't have to tell the truth. He also plays games with what information the public is allowed to know. He's the one that was getting a seventy thousand dollars conference table that was redacted. Yeah, that's right. These are the people were supposed to believe. This isn't

about the FBI and the FBI. There are people in the FBI. Listen to the show FBI folks and the you know, the Miami office, the Chicago office. You know, thank you for working on those drug cases and the kidnapping cases and all the other stuff that you're doing. It's not about you. It's about five or six people at the DOJ and the FBI who were trying to run a soft coup against the president and his top people.

That's what this is about. And those who try to ignore this, you know, they always talk about all the Russians that have been indicted, you know, and the people that have lied. And the tax fraud, the tax fraud.

You gotta be kidding me. Think about what would happen if you had had a special counsel go after Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation and look into their taxes and look into pay to play, you know, you want to talk, and took the approach that Muller and his little team apartisan hacks have taken, which is just the most bare knuckle tactics imaginable. You think you couldn't make

a case about Hillary. You can't make a case about Hillary Clinton running a corrupt scheme via the Clinton Foundation and Bill Clinton too. Their donations are down fifty percent. I mean, are we all supposed to be idiots. These people were all giving money because they thought they were buying access to the Clintons. You don't think the Clinton's

encouraged that ever. Oh no, but that's right. You know, we're supposed to believe the decision to prosecute is the decision to destroy, and who gets prosecuted and who doesn't means a whole lot more than all these people who are making this huge stink about Oh Flint, he shouldn't have lied. Yeah, he shouldn't have been put in a position where people are trying to catch him in a lie because it was the line was also irrelevant, The line didn't matter and oh, by the way, yes it

was out there. And I'm gonna get into this a special counsel, very special counsel, very prickly. Today they released a rebuttal memo to the Flynn sentencing memo, and they're very upset about how Flint is not is trying to mitigate what he said and mitigate his conduct. You know, you think that if you were federal prosecutors with near unlimited resources and an ever widening scope, you're destroying people's lives, bankrupting them over minor process crimes, all under this farce

that it's about Russia collusion. You think you could handle like a little bit of somebody saying, hey, maybe don't send me to prison for that long because I served my country for thirty years and this wasn't a big deal. Oh no, they don't want to hear that. They released this this COUNTERMEMO today that was very you know, very sharp in its rebuke of Flynn for trying to mitigate what he did. What did he do again? Exactly lied about a non crime. I also, here's the real, the

real center of this thing too. I don't believe that he lied. People will say, buck, he's admitted to lying. Yeah, okay, he's admitted to lying, because if he doesn't, they're gonna completely ruin his life. They're gonna completely destroy him. You know, look at some of these people that they've gotten in lies that we weren't committing crimes. Look at Scooter Libby, also a special counsel, right, Look at him. He didn't

do anything wrong. He was a he was a deputy or a national security advisor to the vice president and a seasoned lawyer and DC insider. You think that he just you know, he just lied. No, they just they construed a version of events where they could make the case that he lied about a non crime, and so they did. Does General Flynn know that line the FBI

as a crime? Yeah? But where's the line? Man? If you work in the FBI and the FBI director wants to send somebody out for a beer with you and and asks you, you know, hey, did you you know, did you file a little extra overtime last week? And then goes, yeah, you know, I kind of you know, playing a little bit around the edges. Or let's say you say you didn't do that and it turns out you did. Can you get five years in federal prison

for that? Live for a out of your colleague about something that no one cares about under Muller rules, Yeah you can. Don't. Don't sign me up for the for the FBI, man, That's for sure. It sounds rough over there these days. Judge Sullivan ordered the USG defile not just by the way, this is from my friend Benjamin Weengarten. The McCay memo on setting up the interview General Flint or structs three or two a month later, but any three O twos or memorand it relevant to the circumstances.

The struck three O two that came out today does reference the original three O two with General Flynn. Why haven't we seen that one? We're supposed to believe that's a coincidence. Huh, the one document that's the very heart of this. Here's why if there is any indication and that three O two. And I don't think that the FBI. I don't think they're above scrubbing it. I don't think

that they're above the people involved here. They'll destroy evidence because who will ever know, they'll come up some bureaucratic justification for while they destroyed it, just like they they wiped page and structs, instruments, They wiped their they wiped their personal not PD is what he calls smartphones. They did that. You know, we didn't get to find out what was really on there. Oh, they just had somebody to look it over. Yeah, we don't need to see more.

How much communally trust these people. The Inspector General report came out with a conclusion that there was no bias, remember this, no bias in the you know, with with the Hillary situation and struck in page and the Trump and oh that's right there, was nothing but bias in the report. But they came out with a conclusion that there wasn't bias the judgment, the discretion, and that's where

they cheat us. That's where the bad things happen. But now maybe even also on the facts, because I want to see what was said in the sturge it think this one through. It doesn't make any sense. Flynn knew that they had his phone call bugged, he would know that they have a transcript of it, and him lying about it to other people. You know, first of all, we're assuming that he lied. Maybe he just didn't remember what he said to the guy. How many phone calls

is Flint taking at any given time. That's a possibility. They're saying, oh, he lied to this person, lie to that person, lie to this person. Okay, well maybe he actually thought that's what he said. It happens. People misremember things. I don't remember what I said to my you know, I don't remember where I said to Molly last night on the phone. Doesn't make me a liar. Then there's the other possibility here, which is that Flint didn't lie at all in terms of, you know, to the FBI.

But the decision was made the decision was made after Comy was fired, because that's when the whole three O two they've shown came out, the second three O two, if you will, After COMI was fired, and once this whole Special Council situation was going, maybe the decision was made that, you know, they need they need to make an example out of this guy, and they think that they can flip him. He's got to be at the center of all this Russia stuff because he was talking

the Russian ambassador, right, he's got to know things. And they sat him down, they said, you know, our agent. You know our agent says you lied. That's by the way, that's all we have. All we have is the word of this of these FBI agents, one of whom is Peter Struck, we don't believe and I mean I could be wrong, but we don't believe if there's any tape

recording of this meeting. So at best, what you really have here at the heart of all of this is Peter Struck, who is a clown, a partisan hack, and some other FBI guy that we don't really get to hear from yet, who, according to other people in the FBI many many months later, feel that General Flynn lied to them. M that's enough, we believe that. I want

to see some evidence. I want to see what was written in that initial port about that conversation, because remember that Flynn was the first domino to fall one state. Once they brought the charges against Flynn, then that became the justification for ever widening scope on this thing. And you know, Flynn lied, he perjured himself. He's pleaded guilty. Maybe they just said to him, look, we can do this the hardware of the easy way. You want your

son to stay out of our crosshairs. You want to have any money left in the bank, you plead guilty. We'll make sure you don't spend a minute in jail. You fight this thing will ruin you forever. You talk about this thing publicly, you say you didn't lie, We'll ruin you forever. Do any of you think that Muller and the special counsel you think they're above that. I do not. I definitely don't think that Weisman's above it. We got more coming up your team. Stay with me.

Sorry to spoil the surprise, but if you're getting gift from me this Christmas, you're getting coffee from my favorite coffee company Black Rifle Coffee.

They were so focused on getting President getting President Trump that they were willing to set up a lieutenant general, a guy who served our country, as you said, thirty three years. So that's the most that's the most egregious

part of this, what they did to General Flynn. The other thing I think it's important to understand is Mike Flynn ran the Defense Intelligence Agency. He had to know his conversations with kisleyak were being listened to, were being monitored, So he had to know that there's no reason for him to come in there and say something that wasn't true. He just got caught because he didn't know they were setting him up like they did. And so Judge Salivan,

demanding these documents is exactly what needs to happen. Jim Jordan's right, it makes no sense. I mean the people that you know, what we keep getting told by the anti Trump special counsel loving zealots is well, there's so many lies. There's so many lies that there must be something more to this. Right where there's smoke, there's fire, essentially, is the explanation they give of all this. Well, someone tell me how that's supposed to make sense in the

context of Flynn. He's gonna lie something knowing that. You know, if you sat down with the FBI they said, hey, we have your bank statement right here in our hand. What did your last bank statement say? Are you gonna lie to them just because you feel like maybe putting yourself in criminal jeopardy? There's no purpose for the lie. Why would Flynn lie for no purpose? What is more likely use Akam's razor here, that Flynn just decided to

lie for no reason. Or two options that he was speaking off the cuff to people he thought were colleagues and he either misremember, he misremembered what he said, maybe they misconstrued what he said. Or the other option is they knew that they had Flynn in this thing where he had lied publicly about it, they say, and you know, he had lied publicly about it, and they they figured that they could make this stick, and they say that

he lied to our FBI guys. And then they sat Flynn down behind closed doors and said, look, you either plead guilty here or we're gonna we're gonna completely destroy your reputation in your life and send your son to prison two for you know, whatever it is with his business stealings or something else that they're going to go after important. I have friends who are federal prosecutors, a federal prosecutor that decides he or she wants to get someone a is the most dangerous thing in this country

to an individual's liberty. Number one, It's worse than you know, somebody who's gone rogue in law enforcement, because at least with law enforcement there's an additional layer of oversight. With prosecutors, it's whatever the prosecutor decides. Really, we got more stay with me. But I think the bigger picture here is that you are now seeing more evidence than ever that Donald Trump was associated with a criminal campaign, a criminal transition,

and presides today very likely over a criminal presidency. And you've seen people in his orbit who are either under investigation, have pled guilty, or are serving prison time because of their association with one or all three of those different entities. You know, the people that are serving prison time, a lot of them are serving prison time for or will be serving prison time for things that have absolutely nothing to do with Donald Trump. But that that somehow gets

lost in all of this. This is what I've been I've been warning about from the very beginning that the process is the punishment. Democrats know that, you know, think of all the think of all the lost hours of

time here for people caught up in this investigation. Think of all the money they've spent trying to avoid getting jammed up in all of this, all the people whose careers have been, if not ruined, at least dramatically damaged by this, And for what, It's all based on a fantasy that that Russia, remember the reason we're really here at least this is what they said. The reason we're here is because of intervention in our election. Have we done anything to stop Russia intervening in our election and

the next time? Not? Really? Can we stop Russia from interviewing the election election? Next election? Now? Not? Really? You know, do you think that there are other countries, given the unbelievable amount of attention and resources and anger that's been put into all this, do you think that other countries are more that want to mess with us, are more or less likely to do this the next time around? I think we all know the answer to that too.

I mean, you create a situation where now anyone who loses a presidential election can just point to some shady Facebook ads and say, see see what happened here? You know, the the emails that were released from the DNC. I mean, we've lost sight of so much of this. The emails that were released from the DNC weren't some game changer. They were released and everyone thought Hillary had a ninety seven percent chance of still winning. The Podesta emails weren't

supposed to change a thing, didn't change anything. We all, you know, I remember, we all thought Trump was gonna not some of you didn't, but I mean, you know, all the media folks, everybody, they all thought Trump is gonna lose. It was only when Hillary lost that all of a sudden, all the Russian interference, it must have been something profound me these people. This is why I

keep saying they're delusional. The whole Russian thing is crazy. Yeah, Russia did some things here and there, but this is like when they say that we can tell what the global temperature average is gonna be in one hundred years, that's just absurd. They don't know what technology is gonna be like in five years. They don't know what technology

is gonna be like in twelve months. Do you think they're gonna know what the temperature is in twenty ninety You know, we could have a nuclear war between now and twenty nine. Might not even be any people. I mean it's just not to frighten you, but you know, come on, this is idiocy. Hillary Clinton's campaign paid for paid for up a position research, that opposition research was used by the FB by people in the FBI, the DOJ to get a FISA warrant on carter page and

George Papadopolis, this is insane. You know, you have to you have to take a step back. You have to remind yourself of what's really gone on here. These are the people that are saying they are all about the rule of law. Oh, how could he lie? There was so much abuse of power going on from people who were just deranged with fear of what a Trump president presidency would mean for their careers and for our democracy

and everything else. FISA on carter Page, a full FBI and fuel investigation on George Popadopolis because of collusion measures. This is just how does anyone look at this and not understand what a big pile of bullcrap this is. Flynn is if Flynn is facing prison time now or he's probably not going to get time, but you know,

he's a convicted felon. It's the whole thing. It just doesn't add up, and we're supposed to we're supposed to accept somehow that the only people that lie under these circumstances, the only people that just shoot themselves in the foot here for no apparent reason, are senior Trump associates, you know, people affiliated with Donald Trump. Has nothing to do with the way they're structuring some of these interviews where they're going after people, nothing to do with any of it.

You know, people say, why would anyone lie in these cases? Why would anyone do this to themselves? And well, you know, if you are terrified and you're under pressure and you're being asked to recall things. Look, people say, there's no such thing as a perjury trap, don't know what they're talking about, or they're just not very smart. I've had to go through versions of interrogation. I've had interrogation training and also had to go through versions of an interrogation

myself at different times. And let me tell you it's it's stressful. It's stressful when technically any thing you say that's untrue could be used in a criminal proceeding against you.

It's stressful when your career rides on being accurate and truthful in everything you say, especially when you're talking about in the context of a background check or a background investigation, and they're asking you about some very very sensitive stuff and you're trusting the government's going to keep that all quiet and just for background purposes, you know, FBI investigation stuff. They say, oh, you know, we're just you can trust us, tell us these things. You know, the human mind keep

certain things secret that should be secret. And then in some cases, when you're going to get a high level, high level clearance, you know, you got to tell them whatever it is they want to know. And your reaction is, you know, do not want to be forthcoming about that stuff. It doesn't make you a bad person. I mean, you know, we all have our secrets, we all have our lives.

I mean, this idea that you could just go through endless interrogation of the FBI and they could not find something to claim that you said that was untruthful is just ludicrous. It's ludicrous. And that you have people like Hillary Clinton and you know, the Clinton the whole Clinton Foundation thing. I haven't even talked to you much about the whistleblowers that have come out and said that the whole Clinton Foundation was essentially a pay to play scam

and that it was. It was wasn't really a charity, that people were paying themselves outrageous salaries, that there were no real checks and balances in place. That yes, it's I'm glad that it's coming to light. But I knew all this. We've all known all this. But that's all okay, because she was part of the in club. She was supposed to be in charge, you see. She was supposed to be the one making decisions and telling you what to do with your life. Trump was not. That's his sin.

That's the only sin that really matters here. And all these other people that are getting caught up in this that are being ruined by the grinding gears of the Special Counsel there either collateral damage or the Left is gleeful at their destruction because anyone associated with the Trump deserves that. This is a dark time for this country,

and unfortunately, it is only going to get worse. I mean, I'm hoping you all realize that this show for me for sure, I'm hoping for all of you will be an intellectual safe haven in the year to come, because this is going to get incredibly ugly. There's going to be a lot of lying, there's going to be a lot of personal destruction and character assassination going on, and anyone who stands up for Trump in any sense is

going to be a target in some way. So we all better hold on to each other for the stormy ride ahead. We'll be right back something I probably wouldn't have done or maybe gotten away with in a more organized investigation, a more organized administration in the George W.

Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration. So if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House Council and then be discussions and approvals and who would be there. And I thought it's early enough,

let's just send a couple of guys over. That's just the former FBI director saying, you know, we try to slip one under the radar, and then I have to hear from all these idiots, including a lot of lawyers. But by the way, law schools have been infiltrated by by the progressives the same way the college campuses are the legal profession, especially the loudmouths you see on TV that are in the legal profession. It's got a lot

of far left wing types going on. All right, so you know that's you know, the legal profession is definitely not what it used to be in terms of a bastion of not even conservative values, just sort of equal representation of left and right. You got a lot of a lib legal eagle is running around. But they're all telling me, oh, well, you know this is that deception is a tactic use in law enforcement. Okay, yeah, but

deception for what purpose? You tend to use deception to find out if someone's a drug dealer, to find out if someone's engaged in in high level corruption, if someone is you know, a murder for higher plot. You use deception to find out if the incoming National Security Advisor told the FIB about a conversation that was only known because of a very serious felony leak, an abuse of surveillance power to settle a political score given to the

Washington Post. Oh, by the way, does anyone really believe that we couldn't figure out where that lead came from? Just pull the Washington Post phone Just pull it, Obama, pull the Washington Post phone records, pull all their journalist text messages from the period in question. I'm sure they can find Oh, Buck, that's terrible. That's against the first moment. Yeah, I know, but it's what Obama did. That's what Obama did.

And these smugs, sanctimonious little cowards the mainstream meter like, oh, we hold the Obama to account. Jake Kapper asked him like two or three hard questions during his presidency. It was really hard on Obama. They were like, you know, Erson Cooper once said, well, I don't know about whether Obama's telling the truth on that one. Oh, there were so mean to Obama. I don't think so. I don't

think so. What we are seeing is the weaponization of law in order to restore the power of the elites once they feel like it has been taken from them. That's why there are so many people who are all in on this. But the way that they went after General Flynn, I mean, for anyone to say that this is normal, it's not normal. It was aberrant, it was strange, it was weird. But people are trying to make excuses

for this. Look at the aggression with which they went after General Flynn on a non crime, and then look at the way that they went after Hillary. Look at the way that they went after everyone around Trump, and look at what happened to you know, really, not not a single only Trump. Only people around Trump lie, including three star generals with thirty years of service and former DII director. Those are the only people who lie. None of Hillary's people lie. Apparently Hillary can't open her mouth

without lying. But she didn't lie. And all and all those hearings, well, I mean, she probably had her team of fifteen lawyers answering all of her questions for her. But you don't think the FBI could have gotten around that one. They found a way to get around it with Flynn. FBI couldn't have just said, hey, former Secretary of State, you know, we'd love to just talked a little bit about your email server. Of course they could have.

It's about those decisions. It's about those differences. You see. What we have happening here is similar to the following. It's like if you have a prosecutor who you know, one person gets a you know, one person is engaged in a krupt kickback scheme who's a Democrat. Another person's engaged in a krupt kickback scheme who's a Republican. The prosecutor, for whatever reason, brings charges against the Republican, not the Democrat. And then all we get to hear about is the

rule of law. A rule of law, this person wasn't this person pleaded guilty there? Well yeah, but that's because the choice was made to go after the Republican. The choice wasn't made to go after the Democrat. That's where the difference lies here. And they're supposed to be a principle, They're supposed to be something you can point to and understand and see and that makes sense, that separates those issues, right,

that makes one different from the other. And it's not supposed to be the political affiliation of one of the people involved. But that's what's happening. This is really dangerous. Look at look at what happened with with Scooter Libby. The LA There was of course a special counselor in the last Republican administration, and they thought they were just so close to getting either Carl Roever Dick Cheney. They were going for Cheney. They got close, they thought on

Rove and they ruined Scooter Libby. And I know the details that case very well. It was that it was bullcrap, bull crap, and the media was, oh, he's lying, he's a liar. He lies, lies, lies, It's just it's just it's supposed to be. And this is another part of this too. It's supposed to be a under one zero zero one, a material lie, meaning that it would change things. It's it's meaningful. So you can't say I wasn't I didn't commit that murder because I wasn't in Queen's Last night.

That's a material lie. But you could say, you know, yeah I was in Queen's last line. I didn't commit that murder, but you know I did send that guy that email two weeks ago. It turns out it was three weeks ago. Well, that doesn't change anything meaningful necessarily, right, So that the material fact component of one zero zero one has just gotten run over rough shot by the government and now they just use it as a club to bludgeon defendants into submission all the time. And yeah,

it's not just a problem with General Flint. It's not just a problem in the Mueller probe. But it doesn't mean that it isn't a problem in the Muller probe, right, I mean, you know I get this other than too, of these different attorney types left wingers, they come after me, Oh do you feel this way about a defendant when it's not Trump. Yeah, I do, Actually, I do think that the federal government has too much power in prosecutions, especially over matters that you know, a normal person wouldn't

necessarily think is a criminal issue. And there's plenty of that going on. You've got all these people that are so upset over you know, they're acting like Trump was supposed to know whether or not a payoff to a porn star was illegal under campaign finance law. Meanwhile, the former federal election commissioner has written an op ed saying,

and this is not illegal. So you know, if you have people that used to be the ones in charge of administering election law saying this was not illegal, you know, they don't say that about murder. No one's like, ah, you know, murder turns out it's not actually illegal. If you have people that are steeped in this issue and even they don't agree with this notion that what Trump did it so, I mean, oh, the Southern District of

New York. Since when do we think that federal prosecutors are infallible and that the FBI doesn't lie and that there aren't people that have been corrupted and that aren't politicized in these processes. You know, Judge Emmett Sullivan the one that called for the release of the three O two that they did not release today, by the way, they released a different three O two. Judge Sullivan was the one who exposed what was going on with Ted Stevens, who,

by the way, he lost that sentence. If Democrat headhunter federal prosecutors had not gone after Alaska Senator Ted Stevens cost him his election, then he died. Unfortunately, if they hadn't gone after him, you would not have had Obamacare. Those were the stakes that was a necessary vote, that Democrat, that seat, that flip Democrat was necessary for Obamacare's passage.

I want to change history. And they knew, they knew that Stevens had exculpatory evidence didn't think what he was doing was wrong, which was was an affirmative defense that essentially meant that there was no corruption they could have proved against him. They knew it, and they went after him. Anyway, this happens, This happens. Komey's buddy Patrick Fitzgerald knew that the name was leaked by somebody that wasn't you know, you know, this Valerie play nonsense that it was leaked

by Armitage. Armitage set up by accident. They knew, but they wanted to crush Scooter Libby because Bush. Don't let them lie to you, don't let them get away with this. We're gonna talk immigration.

All along, they've been supporting walls and supporting fences and supporting all sorts of border security. Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. I voted numerous times when I was a Senator to spend money to build a barrier to

try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked. The fact is they've always supported fences and walls and partitions. But you know what, they only don't want to do it because of me. They have to put the people ahead of politics. We need to have the wall, We need border security. Whatever it takes to get border security, I will do it. I pledge that a long time ago,

and I will pledge it always. We've done a really fantastic job with what we have. We can do an almost perfect job if we have the wall and proper border security, and that's what we're going to do for the American people. Thank you. You See, the separation on the issue of immigration is all about the difference between

rhetoric and reality. You know. The separation between the Democrats and the Republicans is about Republicans at least trying to take steps, trying to take those initial actions to deal with the border. Where's Republicans, I mean, where Democrats just want to give lip service to it and never do anything. They have become an open borders party. I mean they are incentivized to continue the illegal immigration that happens at

our border. And we have seen now another time when the entire debate and discussion and immigration is going to focus around one very emotional, very sensitive, and emotionally charged case involving a seven year old girl from Guatemala who died at the border after she was taken into border patrol custody. It goes without saying that a seven year old girl from anywhere, anywhere in the world, no matter where she is the world, no matter where she's from,

that she died of dehydration and shock is terrible. We all know this. You know this, I know this. It's a tragedy for her family, and it's just a very, very sad thing. There are also seven year olds that die from air strikes in Yemen on a regular basis. There are seven year olds who have been dying in Syria for years. There are seven year olds who die

for various preventable reasons in this country. I mean, there are terrible things that happen to small children all over the world, and we should do what we can to prevent that from happening at every instance that we in. But that then means we have to look at who's responsible for what, and we have to be able to have a discussion of the facts. We're not going to be yelled at and told that we're being monsters because we want to assign blame if that's what needs to

be done, where it should be assigned. Here's what we know about this story that this young girl seven years

old was taken into custody part of a group. She was part of a group of one hundred and sixty three people who approached US agents and turned themselves in and they then emergency responders came because eight hours later, so eight hours after she was turned in, the child was having seizures, and the emergency responders then measured her body tempershure to one hundred and five degrees almost one hundred and six, and then Customs and Border Patrol said

that she had not eaten or consumed water for several days, so she was dehydrated. She hadn't had any food. She'd been put through this terrible ordeal. And immediately what I saw is the exploitation of this for a very political reason. The ACLU blamed a lack of accountability at a culture of cruelty with the Customs and Bordertrol for the girl's death. Down This girl was Medivact via helicopter to the hospital, all right, They had emergency emergency personnel to deal with

her right away. The most likely situation here, and we'll find out more from this. The situation though, is that nobody knew, including her parents, that she was in jeopardy until she started having the seizures. He's only seven years old. And when as soon as it became clear that she was, she was in this situation. From what we have been told, Customs and Border Patrol did everything they could. This girl, you know, Medivact is not a US citizen. This is

not a US person. She's a seven year old girl. And so we treat all seven year old girls who are in danger, all seven year old old kids as precious because they are and they you know, medivactor via helicopter and then she and she died. Now people are saying, well, the Customs and Border patrol is cruel. That's just not right. That's just not fair. Customs and Border Patrol, or you know, the folks that are down there at the border. They're trying to process these people from what we have been

told that everything that they could in the circumstances. They are not a child intake facility. This is not how this is supposed to happen. The border is dangerous. People are coming across the border using coyotes. The coyotes are controlled by the cartels. The people who are getting to our border to turn themselves in are in any cases spending thousands of dollars thousands of dollars to be taken to that point in the border so they can come

into the country illegally. They are doing something that is unsafe. Hundreds of people stretching back for years have died at the US southern border trying to make this crossing. Attorney General Jeff Sessions told me back in May that it's dangerous and people should not send their kids. Obama, when he was president, said it's dangerous. Don't bring your kids to the border. This is also one of the reasons why they had that child separation policy the border, because

they wanted people to stop doing this. Stop using kids as the narrow end of the wedge to get you as an adult in the United States. Stop exploiting children, which is what is happening. You had over twenty five thousand individuals last month arriving in family unit formation of some kind or alleging to be a family unit. A lot of them are Some of them aren't arriving our

southern border and turning themselves in claiming asylum. Most of them won't get asylum, but then we'll be told that we're mean if we want to actually send them back to their country of origin. So it's all it's all a scam with the Democrats. They're not willing to enforce the law, they're not willing to actually accept the process all the way through. They just accept the first phase.

They pretend to care about the process at the first phase and then they abandoned it as soon as it's clear that these people are not going to get asylum. But I mean to blame Customs and Border Patrol, which is has a very large percentage as a federal agency of Latino and Hispanic law enforcement officers, has a has a large percentage of veterans. I mean, these are our fellow Americans, These are good people. Does anybody really think that the people that are working in CBPRE are heartless,

cruel monsters that don't care about seven year olds. It's just a despicable thing to say without any evidence. That's what the media is saying because it's useful for them to make. It's useful for them. It's because, you know, Democrats will go on TV and they'll start crying and they'll act like this is the most important single case we could ever talk about it. How could you be

such a cruel and in human monster. Meanwhile, if we then dur around and say, well, hold on a second, there are illegals that you know, joined MS thirteen and brutally raped and murdered a girl in Long Island and you know, chopped her up with knives. This is what happens with MS thirteen. That's not fair. You're using that one case to describe the whole issue. Right, they emotionalize

these things. They don't want the emotion. They don't want cases to be emotional that don't favor open borders and the free and lawless immigration policies that they like. And then you get to the other level of this, which is where I think people get even more sensitive and more defensive. It's an unwise and reckless thing to do to put your child in a situation where they are

in so much danger. And I don't understand why it's okay for the media to take the position that just customs and border patrol are a bunch of monsters and murderers, and why the ACLU and others are saying there's a culture of cruelty. And of course they're they're blaming this all in Trump too. Somehow it always goes everything that's bad goes back to Trump. But you know, these parents made these parents didn't did the child hadn't been fed in days, hadn't had any water in days. Because this

is a dangerous situation. Now you might say, oh, I understand. This is where the conversation then turns to think about how desperate they much must be to be in the circumstance they're in Mexico. Over a hundred million people live in Mexico. Mexico is not a war zone. Mexico is not a place where you know, there's no hope or salvation or dignity, or you know, Mexico's are reasonably well off countries right next door to the United States, then

they're not fleeing in refugee camps. On the Syrian border, where I was meeting people in large numbers who were saying I saw family members executed, and I knew if I didn't get out of there, I was going to be executed too. You know, my house was bombed, my village is gone. That's a refugee. I'm from Guatemala and I want to be in America because the economic situation is better, So I refuse to take asylum in Mexico. That's not a refugee. That's someone who's trying to get

ahead of the immigration line. And you know, we either are operating the world's largest soup kitchen or we have a country that has sovereignty. It can't be both. We

taken a million people a year, We have. I think either a quarter or a third of the overall migrants in the world are in America in terms of an immigrant population all in, I mean, we taken huge numbers every year, and we're just constantly berated as though the American people are not decent, We're not honest, we're not honorable, we're racist, we're bad, we're evil, and everything bad that happens to the border is our fault. Border. We have

over seventy thousand Americans dying every year. What about what about those deaths? You know? What about the high school valedictorian and West Virginia who never wakes up after taking fentatal once because the cartels are flooding communities across the country with that poison. Does does his mom and do his mom and dad deserve someone to stand for them? Do they count? Do they count for something too? Are

you so? Are you a monster? Because you don't want anybody to be coming to the border with their child, putting them in danger and breaking our laws, that makes you a monster? I'm sorry. I reject this. I reject the moral blackmail the left engages in on this issue, and I reject the notion that anybody who wants to take our laws and our border security seriously. Is a bad person who is unfeeling and does not care. And you know, ultimately parents are the ones who make the

decisions for their kids. And if you're putting your kid in a dangerous situation, especially a young child like this, it was no say one way or the other. There is a degree of responsibility there. You know, people make choices, do not make bad choices. Don't blame it all in

the government. When things go really bad, you know, it's we're gonna have to have real discussions, grown up talk about this and not just have people do a lot of virtue signaling and a lot of pointing fingers and claiming that everybody who doesn't agree with them is horrible and doesn't care about dead kids. They do this with gun control too. You'll notice this. It's always you know, you don't care about dead children. No, we do care

about dead children. We just try to have policy discussions based on the facts and on merit, not on emotion and deception. They're almost all gone from my freezer, and I'm just a single dude who's ripping through those steaks and chops myself.

What we're prioritizing is the safety and public safety of our communities so first and foremost, we're looking for illegal aliens who have also committed crimes in our country or another country, and to make sure that we remove them to protect our communities. Entire department actually contributes to the mission of removing drugs from the streets. And that's in addition to one point three million pounds that CBP has interdicted out our borders.

Every day, the Department of Home and Security prevents ten known or suspected terrorists from traveling to our country, and those are the ones we know about. So that's why the information sharing baselines that we've put into place, the partnerships with foreign countries and making sure that we know who is coming here and what they intend to do is just vital for our security. What do you there's very important reasons why we have to enforce the immigration

laws we have. I mean, there you had Kirsten Nielsen talking about illegal immigration and what's really at stake here, and I can't help but notice but the same people who are absolutely rigid and fierce in their desire for the enforcement of the strictest federal election reporting requirements about funding as possible. You know, that's that's the downfall of our republic. If you're Steve Schmidt, the biggest crime committing

history in the country might be the dumbest man on TV. Now, he might infest Steve Schmidt on MSNBC might be dumber than Anna Navarro on CNN. It is it is possible that that is the case. I did not think I'd

ever be able to say that. But the truth is that the same people that are so strict when it comes to federal election law or federal election transparency regulations are very laxed when it comes to immigration, when it comes to repeat re entry into the United or re entry the United States, rather after somebody's already been deported, which is supposed to be treated as a felony. People are not supposed to be able to access public benefits. A lot of them do. There's many different ways that

they do, even though that's against the law. There's laws on the books in fact, that say you can't be a public charge of the state if you are an immigrant in this country, and there are lots of immigrants you are. There's all kinds of rules. You know, the rules are not the rules when it comes to immigration. And this is why you can't take Democrats seriously on rule of law as a general matter, because the law only matters to them insofar as the law is useful

to whatever they want at any point in time. And I just would like us to be able to at least have some honesty in this discussion. I think that would be I think that would be helpful. By the way, I was speaking about how all opposition to this is now referred to as racist. People are talking about how racist opposition to open borders and the notion of building a wall. What are we to say about the continued complaints from residents in Tijuana? Are Tijuana, some of people

corrected me, I know, it's Tijuana. What are we to make of the fact that people who live in Tijuana are not exactly thrilled themselves with what's going on with this caravan? Place six no of incidences here in Tijuana and in other cities that some of these people that are coming into these with these caravans are coming in crimes. This is not about racism. We don't dislike a certain group of people because they're from a country, one country

or another. We are here because our government has not taken control of these what we call invasion to country habit to baby with of these people because they have people who have bad people. I don't know. It sounds really racist to me. A lot of anti Guatemalan racism coming from the Mexican Mexicans, are a lot of anti Honduran racism coming from the Mexicans. How are they? I don't know. I mean, I guess they're racist, the same way that you know people in New York who make

fun of people in New Jersey or racist. I don't know. Someone someone on the left is going to have to explain to me, because so are they allowed to have a problem with us? They're okay if you're if you're Latino, if you're a non American Spanish speaker, you're allowed to be opposed to other Spanish speakers trapesing through your country and causing problems in public disorder. But Americans are not

allowed to feel that way. I just want to know where that where the standard is, and how we are, how we're going to be allowed to look at this, and how we're supposed to judge this going forward. You know, can they can they establish some degree of consistency for us, just so I know, I want them to let me know what's racist. I want them to let me know so that I can make sure that I don't care because they're full of it and they love How about that. That's probably a good way for us to go. We

got more come stay with me. What we saw on full display for the world see in the Oval Office was Chuck Schumer, the head of the Democrats in the Senate, and Nancy Pelosi, the head of the Democrats in the House, say to the American people, we do not stand with you. That's a dangerous place for an entire political party to say we disregard the safety and security of American communities and American families and instead stand with those who come

to this country illegally. And that's right. Democrats are all about supporting the illegals. This is something that is at the very very top of their list. And in fact, I've been saying this for a while. We've learned a lot about the Democrat Party's priorities because in the era of Trump, what are the two things the Democrats have shown themselves other than obviously hatred of Trump and the mullarprobe and all that, but the two policy areas where they will just they will take it all the way.

I mean, they will fight with everything they've got. What is their focus, and their focus is on non Americans from a few Muslim countries being able to travel here. That's a huge issue for them, and illegal aliens and their status and their future in this country. I mean, these are top, top Democrat priorities. And it's for the reasons that I've been telling you. It's because they understand that if they win on this, they effectively win on everything.

They get their way with this one, then there doesn't have to be a whole lot, a whole lot of time that passes before the Republican Party is just a permanent minority, a permanent minority party. I mean Nancy Pelosi as she's she's saying that, you know, if this is a game of Chicken, she's gonna just just slam down the accelerators. She doesn't care what happens, because you know she will not fund a board her wall no matter what.

Play sixteen. He changes his calibration, even if you're in the Pastorville under your watch on the story of the January disposition. Offensively, what could change? Why would he sign that bill to open government up? In general? Does one have a government closed and forever. I mean, what's this about. I know he doesn't believe in government. I know he doesn't know that much about what is at risk to

shut it down. He doesn't believe in government. I mean, how can somebody say that about the president of the United States. It's such a stupid thing to say. It reminds me of the other thing that you'll hear them say about President Trump. They'll claim that he does not believe in democracy. Well, I think he likes democracy just fine. He got sixty three million votes and beat the most entrenched, propped up by the media, establishment candidate in a history

of America. I'm pretty sure Trump thinks democracy is pretty special, actually, considering what he was able to do, considering what the American people who voted for him we're able to do. But Pelosi's saying, you know that that they'll never budge on the wall. Well, here's the thing. The whole point of having the shutdown is to really focus the American public on this discussion, in this debate. This is politics.

Politics is a means of settling differences. It's a means of settling conflict, and there is a conflict right now. Should the situation at our southern border continue as is. Republicans say no, you know, I asked General Stanley McCrystal today. He's now retired. He's retired, four star general. I have to say, a very a very polite, very humble, very insightful man. I enjoyed speaking to him on and offset I found him. I found him to be impressive without

trying to be impressive, which is my favorite kind. But I asked him today, I said, does does the president have the right have the ability to order the military to build a wall? He said, you know, we have pretty much. He said he might. He doesn't agree with it necessarily, but he says the president can do that. The president can tell the military to build a wall. And you know, maybe that's what it's going to come

down to. But in the meantime, we should at least understand that our government should be focused on issues that really matter. You know, this stuff matters, Stormy Daniels, doesn't matter to the American people. This whole situation with the Trump payoffs, it doesn't matter. They want to make it matter. But immigration, I mean, just spend some time in communities where there's been you know, a tremendous amount of legal alien influx. And what does what does that even mean

for our similation processes? What does that mean for the political fabric of this country? I mean, what what holds us together? What we hold in common? You know. I hate to say, but one of the main things that makes you an American is the English language. And then another thing is ability to understand and abide by rule of law, you know, And then there's some shared culture. But in America is an idea, right. It's not a

country based on on bloodline. And so that's why it really matters how you come into the country, how you exist within our system, and what you do to either undermine or support that system when you're here. You know. But the left doesn't want to have a serious conversation about it. They just want to demagogue, demagogue, and more demagogue. I'm now just saying this as I'm on air with you.

I mean, this is this is pretty typical. Trump is considering a border wall delay, delaying the fight until January, now hearing that Republicans on Capitol Hill are considering a two week stop gap measure to fund the government into January. That would mean roughly a quarter of the federal government'll shut down next Friday absent a bipartisan deal. You know,

we'll see. I mean, you know, this is this is one option we have here because all along I've said the idea that they're gonna want to that the Republicans are gonna want to pick this fight over the Christmas holiday, which could mess with their Christmas plans. I think that's probably not This is why. You know, what was it when I first talked about that, said, ah, it's not gonna be shut down. This is the same crap we

always have. Well, now they're saying maybe they're gonna push the shutdown until after until after the holiday, Well, you know they're going to have to do something. If they're not willing to have this fight, then we have to ask why. And I do think that there's a lot of there are a lot of a lot of people who are on the right who claim to care a lot about securing the border, but are not willing to do what is necessary. Are not willing to take the

consequences of a tough vote. I don't want to don't want to deal with it. Just they don't want to have to face their constituents and say you know what, we voted for a wall, We created a border wall, and the walls don't work. Line it. It's just so dumb of all the of all the things that people can say about it. You know, I would prefer it.

I would feel more comfortable if there could at least just be some honesty from the Democrats on this whole issue, where they would say, you know what, we would really like to just bring in as many people as possible from as many Third world, non English speaking countries as possible, and we just want to bring as many of them in. And we don't care about family reunification anymore. We don't care about skills or merit or anything else. We just want to be the country where you could just get

to come here. I think people would realize that that's a disastrous idea pretty quickly, but at least then Democrats would be honest about what their end goal is. Now, this is also where I see this this storyline that there are the deportion deportations rather under Trump or on the RYE, but they're still lower than Obama. This was

reported that I has linked on Drudge Report. President Trump's pushed for tighter immigration policies has meant that there have been over two hundred and fifty six thousand illegal immigrants deported in twenty eighteen, the highest number since the Obama administration. And the Obama administration, they'll remember, they changed the way

that deportations were counted. They changed it so that if you were caught at the border and turned away, you would be you know, you would be counted as somebody who had been deported. So it's very tough to get honest numbers because interior enforcement is supposed to mean that you're somebody who's in the interior of the the United States and then you've already entered the country illegally and then you're sent you're deported. Otherwise you're just caught at the border.

So you know, as I look at this, first of all, you know, Obama as the deporter in chief was a line that the Democrats wanted to They were willing to accept that for while because they thought that it would give him the political leeway to get the comprehensive immigration reform deal which Republicans were on board for, which would have just been amnesty. I mean, that's all it was. And at that point the thing about amnesty is once it's done. The only thing that's assured is the amnesty,

and everything else falls by the wayside very quickly. And so, you know, I think that that was a kind of like, if you like your healthcare, if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. With Obama was look at all the people on deporting You can trust me. I'm not just gonna give amnesty to twelve million, fifteen million, maybe twenty million people. No, no, I'm I'm the guy who deports people. You can trust me. But then at all all fell apart. Then the whole, the whole ruse

was up over time. You know, John Kennedy is out there and he's he's a star wart on this one. All of a sudden, I don't even know this guy held these positions until the last couple of weeks. Play clip two. If you support legal immigration, then you've got to be against illegal immigration. I'm not saying that all of the people who try to jump the line to come into our country are bad people. I don't know,

but I do know this. Some of them are terrorists, some of them are child sex traffickers, some of them are drug dealers, some of them are gang members. And if for no other reason, but national security, in public safety, we have to seal our border. And the sin of President Trump here in Washington, DC with the self styled elite, is that he's actually, for the first time in a

long time, enforcing America's immigration laws. Our immigration laws are not broken, they just haven't been enforce Yep, it's true. People always say our immigration immigration laws are broken. What they really mean is we don't enforce our immigration and laws. We don't enforce them. Well, how can you know of the law is broken if you're not actually using the

laws that you have. It's it's a it's a pretty amazing state of affairs now where you know, we're not even it's like we're not even having the same the same same discussion, you know, not even having the same debate, because the left has skewed this whole thing so much that it's it's hard. It's it's even it's hard to know what topic they're really even on. I mean, it's it just changes all the time. Their positions change all

the time. They have no solutions. All they do is complain and not like a bunch of of huge babies. It's very very annoying. I've got some breaking news actually to get to when come right back to stay with me. Well, it looks like we know who the White House chief of staff is going to be in the immediate future, when you not yet have clarity on who the permanent chief of staff will be. But this was just breaking that Trump has named Mick mulvaney acting chief of staff.

Mick is a he seems like a very sharp guy. He's a smart guy. But I mean, John, let's be honest here. I think in the office pool, we're all a little disappointed that the Trumpster still hasn't tracked me down. You know, I'm right here, man, I'm in the swamp. I'm not far away. You're a smart guy, exactly, thank you. You know, I think that this, this could have been the start of something beautiful. I would have run that White House like a Swiss watch. But you know, they

haven't reached out to me yet. And then there's also one of the only people that might even be less likely than me to get the job, Piers Morgan threw his through his hat into the ring. Nobody else I think was taking him seriously other than Piers Morgan himself. But look, he understands. Man, you just need to get back in the limelight, and then everything else. Then everything

else kind of follows. You know, he knows that all you need to do is get your name in the mix, and people will start to talk about you again, and that opens up all kinds of doors. Does he care about what happens to the Trump administration and to the to America. I'm pretty sure he's a British citisen non an American citizen. Uh No, but at least gets his name there. Anyway, mc mulvaaney is going to be the

acting chief of staff. The only other news around this today was that he had what's his name, Chris Christie. Chris Christie was out of the running after briefly being in the running. And then you heard that Jared Kushner is the most likely replacement. And from what I'm seeing today, and I was told this by a congressman earlier today, it's who had just left the White House, it's looking like it's gonna be Jared Kushner. So the President's gonna make his his son in law the White House chief

of staff. You know, I would I would just say that, you know, I'm I I do not I do not like political dynasties, and I do not like nepotism. That said, I do think the Trump administration in particular. I think President Trump has a need for people around him that he can truly and honestly trust, and that's very hard for him to find under the circumstances of, you know,

what's going on around him. It's not an easy thing for President Trump to be in this situation where he's got not just the media totally set against him, but also these deep state leave behind or lifelong bureaucrats, you know Obama administration leave behinds and lifelong bureaucrats who are so dedicated to destroying him. But also this is not new. I mean, you had JFK appointed Bobby Kennedy to be

Attorney general. Is brother, that's nepotism. Hillary Clinton, Yes, you could say she wasn't appointed to a role, but Hillary Clinton was given a massively important portfolio of essentially reorder as an American healthcare as first Lady, so she was given a lot of power and authority. She was she was mean, that was she took the vice president's traditional office in the in the in the White House. Yeah, she was acting. She was acting like a white House

official without even having an official title. Really, it's this first lady, and then she ran for senator based on who she was married too. Then she became Secretary of State based on her last name and the fact that she had been a senator, and then she ran for president based on those other things. And none of it was was earned in any meaningful way. It was all riding on her husband's coat tails. This is just a fact. I mean, I don't think anybody, well people could argue that,

but they would lose. They would lose, you know. Oh, no, Hillary is so amazing, She's so perfect. No, no she's not, but she does have this there's a certain boomers sensibility. Sorry Boomers, I know I give you a hard time sometimes, but oh, you know, I went to this school and that school, so everyone should think I'm amazing. When Hillary went to Wellesley, it was like a fifty fifty shot

if you were going to get in. I'm just saying, and if you want to go to I don't know why I just turned into Gilbert Godfrey there for second. I'm just saying, but you know, we don't have to always bow and genuflect before these people who went to look as George Bush a great student though of course I mean George w I'm talking about. Was he a great student? Of course not. He got good to Yale.

I mean, look, there's a lot of This is the thing about the elites though they're within the power structure, but they're they're not special in terms of their skills and ability necessarily. And that's what's been so exposed, certainly to a people in the media. People are all replaceable, they're all jerks and clowns. A lot of them are way overpaid. And yeah, they're the elites and that they have powered influence, but they're not elite because they're so

good in anything. It's a big difference. So we'll see what ends up happening in the White House. I don't think it's gonna make all that much difference to anybody. It's a little bit of palace intrigue. Who really cares, you know, we'll see, we'll follow it and it is what it is. Got a big Our three coming up, though, teams, so stay with me.

We have a president who has once again he said racist and despicable words about African Americans people of color. All of a policy that he's put forward has been

anti people of color. He has continued policies that I believe are racist in nature. The President of the United States is racist. All of us already knew that the President seems to harbor racist feelings about people of color. Do they ever have to provide any evidence of this stuff or is it just enough to always lender the president as being racist? That's right, This guy from Queens who grew up in New York City, who's been in public life for his entire life, he's now what seventy's

he's a terrible racist. But you notice how we we just discovered that Trump is a terrible racist. According to the media, when he became a Republican that could beat the hand picked candidate of the establishment left in the Democrat Party, then Trump was the most racist, evil racist ever. But I had never heard. I grew up in New York. I knew of the Trumps. I was very familiar with a lot of the stories and laure around the Trump family.

I never heard anything about them saying that Trump was racist. He's you know, he was generally considered a colorful character. I think you could say, and you know, a favorite of the tabloids, and you know, a little bit a little bit full of himself. But that was about it, and no one ever said he was racist. And now it's just taken it's taken as gospel by the media that Trump is racist, and they don't ever really get

into why. I mean, really, they'll just talk about policy that I agree with the president on in some cases or well, almost all policy cases. So does that mean that I'm racist? Does that mean that everybody who thinks, for example, that Obamacare is not great they're racist? Is everybody who thinks that a walt or southern border is a necessary improvement to our existing border security infrastructure? Is that a racist position or is that just a sensible position?

They don't give you specifics. And you'll also notice, and this is the other side of it. If they were really making this judgment about Trump's racism upon his deeds and upon things that they could point to, instead of just repeating and repeating and repeating and then hoping that the lie becomes the truth, wouldn't they give him some credit for non objectively, you know the opposite of racist behavior or you know, behavior that promotes racial healing, racial outreach,

racial comity and togetherness. Oh, you never hear that, do you? How much credit have you heard the media give Trump for prison reform that will disproportionately help, as the media says, black and brown men in prison or men of color from disproportionately help them in transitioning to life outside of the big house, so to speak. You know, how many times have you heard that? You don't hear that? Does the president ever get credit for doing things that are

supposed to help the black community? Just does he get any credit from the media for say, the incredibly low black and Hispanic unemployment rate, And no, of course none of that. So they tell you all these terrible things about him. They look for every opportunity to add to the he's terrible, He's a racist. But then they want us to believe they're journalists even though they don't cover

the other side of this equation. You know, there was this meeting of the Opportunity and Revitalization Council, or actually it was created by Trump, and then they had a meeting and Bob Johnson, who is the founder of BEET is a media mogul he and I had to producer Mike. I mean, he brought this whole thing to my attention. I didn't even know about this, and I am reading the news and researching all day long. Mike caught this one. Otherwise, it really was under the radar as a story. So

you know, I wanted to come in with the whole Trump. Oh, they say Trump is so racist, and this is this is now the criticism of lazy of lazy idiots in the media. It's just everything Trump does is racist. You know, he showed up late to a meeting with a foreign minister. All Trump is racist. I mean, everything he does is racist.

But then they also don't even tell you about the very obviously non racist things or rather anti racist things that he does, like you know, reaching out to minority communities,

trying to create better opportunity for minorities. I mean, I can tell you this, if President Trump, if you're sitting in a him and there was something that President Trump could do, if he could just wave his hand and you know, uh, double African American household income, if if he could, you know, make the African American unemployment rate go down by half, I am certain that he would

do those things. Okay, I can tell you with complete assuredness that the President of the United States would take a very strong pride in doing things to help the black community in this country, and just based on his attitude as a guy, the way that he's conducted himself in much of his life. You know, Yeah, he's a billionaire, and he's a media guy, and you know, his toilets are made of gold and all this stuff. I get it.

But you know, I think he also does have a certain fondness for the for the common man, for the working man. You know, he knows he's not one of them. He doesn't do this, you know, rolled up sleeves, I'm gonna pretend to be a hunter thing during the you know, campaign. He knows he's not one of them, but he appreciates them. You know, Trump appreciates cops, he appreciates fireman, he appreciates military, He appreciates doers, people that put things only. He appreciates

construction workers, appreciates truck drivers. Nancy Pelosi does not. Okay, But but Bob Johnson, who's the BC founder and mediumogul, he spoke at the White House. That's got zero coverage. But so we're going to give it some coverage. Play clip eleven. Just recently, your Department of Labor signed a historic document that created something called auto portability. Auto Portability is designed to reduce retirement leakage among low income of four one K account holders who tend to cash out.

And mister President, you should know this. Sixty percent of African American Hispanic Americans cash out of their four old one K account. This program will put close to eight hundred billion dollars back in the retirement pockets of minority Americans.

So I just want to applause you for that. Trump is working with Bob Johnson, here's obviously very successful, very prominent African American mogul and and businessman, and and Trump is working with him and others to try and put a lot of money back in the pockets of folks who are doing the right thing, who are who are trying to save up, who are paying their bills, who are being productive citizens. A lot of them are minorities. And this this gets nothing. This gets nothing. I mean,

no one's even talking about it. No one covers this. Doesn't think that it's it's worth worth attention, you know, it doesn't think that it's it's worth raising. You know, let's have another interview with Michael Cohen. Where's this you know, Trumps a lawyer. I mean this guy Cohen, he's like a you know, just just a broken down, broken down machine at this point. I mean, what do they want

this guy to do? I mean, he's obviously been humiliated and Troy, they want to keep putting them on TV because he's useful right now in saying, you know, Trumpoozoo's a mistake, He's terrible. So after Trump signed this executive Opportunity for the Opportunity and Executive Order rather for the Opportunity and Revitalization Council, who wants to guess what the media was asking about? So he's doing this thing to put money in the pockets of black Americans, a lot

of Americans, but black Americans, do you know, disproportionately? Um, And here's what the media does played twelve. This is great. You know, I got this whole thing of like the shouting the questions that the president and I know it's a tradition and I'm sure people in the White House were telling me, oh, that's you know, the White House Press Corps. They love that whole thing. It just strikes me is do we really have to do that? Yeah, okay, we just have a Q and a time be like,

all right, guys, I'll take questions. Otherwise, you know, could ever just sit there and like, I guess they do what they do. But anyway, did Michael Cohen cover up your dirty deeds? That's what they ask him Forget about the fact that he's trying to help minorities in this country hold on to more of their harder in cash. Let's ask him about Michael Cohen. You know, I was telling you about how they they don't give you reasons. They don't give any of us reasons for why Trump

is so racist, why he's so terrible. They just keep saying it and saying it and saying it. Pastor Darrell Scott, who've actually done some hits with back in the day on CNN, he I think put this in very clear terms Play thirteen. It's insulting to the intelligence of black America. Is the fact that the left does not give us one intellectual reason to not vote for President Trump or to not support him. They give us emotional reasons. He hates you, he hates blacks. Don't vote for him. He

hates blacks. Well, he's creating opportunities angs, but he hates to. Well, he's in the prison we for him, but he hates to. And the insulting are in telling us about speaking to us like that, when the proof is in the pudding. This man and I said it. He could be the most pro active president for Black America in my lifetime. And he's proving me to be a prophet in that respect. He's doing things. If President Obama had done this, they'd

be a parade down the street right now. Truth is, the President Obama was on the substance very disappointing to minority communities in terms of the numbers, in terms of employment, in terms of in terms of the national conversation on race. There were race riots during the Obama presidency. I remember them, You remember them. Look what happened in Baltimore, Look what happened in Ferguson. You know there was not this national

healing that we were promised, that's for sure. Meanwhile, you've got Pastor Darrell Scott, African American pastors just saying, look, President Trump is doing the Bestie Kennedy. He's trying to do a lot for the black community, and the media just completely ignores it, shuts it out, doesn't want to hear it. All they want constantly is Trump bashing Trump is racist. This is why we don't trust the media.

And you know that we can't forget that while they're always holding themselves up as you know, the guardians of democracy and the guardians of our republic and all this other stuff, the media doesn't deserve the respect that it wants from us. Media by and large is an industry and decline because now with the Internet, we have options and we have the ability to fact check and to know what they said yesterday, to know what they said

last month, and this is why the bias. And then when you add social media into that, that's why the bias is so apparent. They can't hide anymore. They can't rely on having control of the printing presses, so to speak, to create whatever reality that they want. Now we all have access to the printing press. I thought with social media companies it's I'm worried about you know, who's at

the levers now, who has control of these things? And I just think that if they were being fair, if it wasn't just all menium aligne Trump for being a racist. They would talk about the things that he's trying to do to help the black community, and they will never talk about that.

Snippy is your new alternative social media the president isn't coming hasn't come clean over over the course of time Anderson Anderson putting aside the whole issue of how amazing it is to listen to Rick Santorum, who made his entire career successful for a time on the basis of morality and politics, making excuses for paying off porn stars and women with whom you've had affairs. Putting that to one side, isn't the reason, Jeffrey.

If you're not, you're not going to put that to the side. I'm not. I'm not making excuses for Donald Trump having an affair with a porn star. I mean that's it's disgusting, it's tawdry. I'm saying whether it's I'm addressing the question as to what is the illegality involved here,

And the illegality is not the contribution. The illegality is not reporting it and not And don't suggest that I am good for good for Rick Santorum there for not letting slimy CNN tubin get away with a real dirt bag trick that they do on CNN all the time, and they're punnits. They love to pull this one. I look, I came up against it a few times where you're talking about an issue and then the other person will

all of a sudden, very personally attack you. Rich and Toorum in that clip, I didn't play the whole of it for you, but if you, if you want to do, you could listen to it. And all he does is say, look, it's it's probably not illegal because of X, Y and Z. He's just talking about the legality of Trump paying off women, you know, for you know, hush money purposes. Right, He's just talking about the legality. And Tubin, who want to

talk about tawdry? As I understand it, that guy's got quite his own, quite his own little tawdry history of personal conduct. And you know, Tuban goes after Santorum completely, you know, without provocation, just because he wants to take a dirty shot at him on Anderty Cooper's show, and you notice that, you know he was gonna move right past it. I will give some credit. See what Cooper didn't do there is jump in and not let Santorum respond.

That's usually what the what the dishonest fake news CNN anchors do is once the person that you're supposed to debate, uh, you know, slimes you and then but then they want to move on to the subject at hand to make it seem like, oh no, we're actually going to talk about the real thing again. But once they've taken their cheap shot, they want to move on. And then the anchors no, no no, no, let him finish, Let him finish, And then the subject matter, I mean they're rather the

conversation has moved. And so then when you come back, if you're in the Santorum seat, you know, this is the anatomy of a CNN smear. This is how they do it. When you come back and you're in the Santaorum position and you say, well, hold on a second, you talking, and they're go, no, no no, no, we're not talking about you anymore. Rick. You know, we're not talking about about that. Why why do you have to make it about you? You know that this is what they do.

But these people are they're professionally dishonest. I mean Tubin's announce this is the chief legal anolse the CNN. I mean, his legal analysis is garbage. He is not He is not a first tier mind at all, maybe a third tier mind. But they love him over at CNN. I mean they think he's fantastic because he tells them exactly what that audience wants to hear. And look, this is a business, right, CNN is in the business of telling its audience of anti Trump lunatics exactly what they want

to hear. Which is why you know, a while ago, I got CNN's VP of Communications or something came after me. This was maybe a month or two ago, because I pointed out how stupid CNN's coverage of Elizabeth Warren was when she released her released her DNA results, Because initially it was, you know, Elizabeth Warren, you know, sets the record straight with DNA results or whatever. You know, they

they're really trying hard. Every person with a normal functioning brain was like, this is the biggest self own the biggest own goal I've seen from a politician in a very long time. Turns out that Elizabeth Warren is now thinking about giving an official apology. She's kind of testing the waters a little bit and saying that she is quote not a person of color. Oh oh, I'm glad

she's willing to admit that now place seventeen. I'm not a person of color, and I haven't lived your life or experienced anything like the subtle prejudice or more overt harm that you may have experienced just because of the color of your skin. But rules matter, and our government, not just individuals within the government, but the government itself has systematically discriminated against black people in this country. I mean, yeah,

the government obviously has sytematically discriminate against black people. But the point here is really that Elizabeth Warren is like, yeah, I mean, I'm not saying I'm a person of color. Thanks folkahuntas. We needed to be told that that. You know, this is the thing democrats lectures all the time about lies and lying. Elizabeth Warren's a liar. It's a liar. Her whole career is built on a lie. When when are we allowed to just all say that without people say, oh,

it's not true. Grouse. You know, she's great on progressive issues and she wants wealth redistribution. Well that doesn't mean anything. She was celebrated by Harvard as a minority, as a minority professor in the law school. She never would have gotten that job. I thought, I'm sorry, Look, affirmative action is real. I are we supposed to pretend it's not real?

It is better, you know, it is better to apply to Harvard as a member of the Sioux Nation than it is Buck Sexton from New York City, James Sexton for those of you who are wondering, but you know it is a better thing. Your odds are much better. Elizabeth Warren knew that. That is why she claimed to be Native American. I mean, people are just they're just ridiculous on this, and they're just preposterous. You know, get a grip everybody, Really, Elizabeth Warren is a clown and

a laughing stock. The fact that she's even thinking about running for president tells you all you need to know about the Democrat Party. It seems like all the cool celebrities these days are starting their own spirits line. You know, they set up a tequilo or a rum or a bourbon or whiskey or whatever. I have not seen anybody who was hawking gin. I've not seen anybody who was really into gin. It about John. Do you ever drink gin? I don't really drink. I'm not a gin guy. Yeah

I don't. You know, I'm I'm not a big drinker, but you know, Gin to me, it always feel like I'm drinking a Christmas I always feel like I'm drinking a Christmas tree or something. It's just a little but Ryan Reynolds is pretty funny. And since we're getting into the Christmas spirit a little bit here and some of you are gonna be asking me for gift ideas, I'm sure this was kind of a funny ad that I thought were It's even funny if you can see it, but I think the audio work roll it up. So

Ryan Reynolds is the guy from Deadpool. Deadpool to a bunch of other sort of forgetful, you know, romantic comedy fair. But you know, he's a pretty self deprecating guy for a guy who's obviously made his career on being super handsome. But he's he's hawking this aviation gin, which I'd never heard of before. But I want to show that this is getting getting us all into the Christmas giving gin

drinking spirit. Play clip three. There. People come up to me all the time and they say what makes aviation gin so delicious? Most of the time I run away because non slaveries frightened me. But here is the answer. It begins each morning at four am, the distillers of Aviation American Gin rise to greet the new day with four hours of silent meditation from the air. It's a quick scoot down to the grove. The citrus fruits are misted using only the tears of Aviation's owner, me Ryan Riddles.

All of our botanicals are humanely caught, cage free, and grain fed. The reason some people don't drink gin is that strong juniper taste. So after apologizing to each very individually, we beat the living hell out of them, creating a smoother, more refined finish to ensure that heavenly taste. Every bottle of Aviation is ordained by the Unitarian Church of Fresno, California, and then before it departs home serenaded with the healing

music of Sarah McLaughlin. Some might call this overkill, But the next time you visit your local mixologist and you murder that silky, smooth Aviation Martini, Well, who's the killer now? Aviation an American original, now owned by a Canadian. I gotta tell you, John, I feel like I might have to go out and give myself some Aviation Gin. What do you think I want to try it now? Yeah? No, it's a good commercial. It's very it's very effective. I mean,

you know, I like your music that. You know, there's some funny little jokes in there if they did a good job. I'm not a gin guy. I mean Hendrix. I remember I made a bet with a friend back in the agency a long time ago, and I had to get him a bottle of Hendrix, which I think was maybe forty forty or fifty bucks. But yeah, I will say now that when I when I do drink, I stay away from I drink less and I drink higher quality. That that's one thing that I have made

the switch to. So I might only have one drink over the course of an evening, or you know, maybe a drink and then a glass of wine with dinner. But I I'm very picky about what I want to drink and I really just go for it either need or over ice, but no mixers and no, you know, I don't do any of that stuff anymore. So, you know, I started I started out in this in this world early on drinking wine coolers. That's what we were drinking in the you know, junior high that's what people drank

and junior high, I guess eighth grades junior high. Right, you never went through that phase, did you? Jodd? The wine cooler face that doesn't sound like your jam. I do like and all that stuff. What I haven't had any since the nineties, But yeah, I do like wine coolers. Okay, you're calling me out a little bit since the nineties, that's fair enough. I mean, Zema is something different. If you remember those ads, they brought Zema back because people

like me of such nineties nostalgia. It's also why Friends is the number three show on all of Netflix. I mean, a show that has been off the air for over a decade now people are still obsessed with it. Anyways, to Ryan Reynolds, hat tip to you, sir. And Deadpool one was very funny. Deadpool two was less funny, But you know, the guys earned my respect. And I also

have not seen him at least in a while. He probably some of you're gonna yell at me and say he's terrible on the politics stuff too, But he doesn't seem like one of these guys who's shoving his annoying celebrity defeat politics in your face all the time. Roll calls up next, Rock and Roll. Fellow patriots, we made ours go up to eleven. It's time for roll Call, Roll Call, Roll Call. Indeed, that's what we got going

on now. Facebook, Facebook, dot com, slash Buck Sexton is all you need to get in on the action here. Let's get right too, because it's Friday, Freestyle Friday. I gotta I got a weekend planning. Miss Molly and I are down here in DC. It's gonna be so much fun. Maybe even might go to hear a little music this weekend. I'm excited about it. We're gonna just other than that, drink some hot cocoa and snuggle in the ugliest Christmas sweaters we can find? John, do you have a an

ugly Christmas sweater? Important? Important questions? More? All right? I mean I used to have some really ugly ones, but I've I've gotten rid of them over time. I was kind of a sweater collector for a while, until I realized that, you know, you should probably you know, if you're not gonna wear it, give it away to goodwill, or give it away to somebody who wants it. You know, it's not worth having. Were those sweaters? Yeah, sweaters just get piled up in your closet and you realize every

time you did get on something else. Yeah, exactly. Salvation Armory for sure. So Lance is our first roll call dude in the mix tonight. He writes, Buck, what's your take on felony murder rule no longer being graded the same as first degree murder? Out here in California? They just overturned it, and I hear other states are following suit shields high. Well, Lance, you're catch me unaware, my friend. I don't. I don't even know what this rule change is.

So you know this is what happens to the role call. I don't. I don't know everything. I don't know what this is. I'd have to look into it. An interesting question. I will check it out after the show and I'll get back to you with the response as soon as I can. But certainly it certainly sounds like something I should know about. Erica writes, I would blame you for not observing your co worker's beard. On lack of sleep As a narcaleptic, I am painfully aware that sleep deprivation

destroys visual acumen. This is why I went exhausted. We find ourselves putting a phone in the fridge or milk in a cupboard. The visual cues that normally keep us on track are completely missed. Huh. Interesting and Also, Erica writes, Berlin Wall highly effective, not racist. Well, yep, that is true. The Berlin Wall was very effective, and all I was doing was separating a city. When you think about it's pretty remarkable. But this notion that the wall is racist,

it's just this is a form of emotional blockmail. This is just trying to scare people away from thinking through this problem and coming up with a real solution to it. You'll owe, you'll. Democrats will talk a lot about border security in the abstract. When you ask what should we do? Then there's not anything that comes out of their mouths other than racist xenophobe, which doesn't help, does not help the conversation, it turns out, Jessica writes Buck with an

exclamation point. I've been listening for about three years now and love the show. Well, thank you, Jessica, You're very kind. I have a question for you. I was scrolling through Twitter and I saw that someone tweeted at George Stefanopolupolis about how much ABC must have paid to Christine blasi Ford. George replied, not a dime. We don't pay for interviews. Other networks were chiming in, saying that they don't pay for interviews, and it is unethical. Is this true? I

don't know why these people would do the interviews. Isn't there some kind of kickback so to speak? Jessica, it is true that most of what you'd consider your mainstream, mainline kind of interview locations, you know, the different platforms out there, ABC, CBS, NBCCNN, they do not pay for interviews. Um, the Blaze where I work, never paid for interviews. CNN doesn't pay for interviews. Fox doesn't pay for interviews. So EI.

There are some places I know that some tabloids will pay for interviews, and some like date daytime talk shows and syndicated talk shows, things like that. You know, on the TV they will pay for interviews, But I don't know which ones do and which ones don't. But generally, these serious journalistic outfits, you know, whether you consider them serious or not. But the ones that think of themselves as serious as a rule, will not pay for interviews. They view that as as a line that they that

they will not cross. It makes sense when you think about I mean, they're offering a platform for people to either share a story or share a point of view, and you know they also would then be in a situation where there's a competition for the highest dollar for some of these interviews that all said, access is money.

It's one thing I can tell you about in great detail here in DC, here in the swampy swamp, the people who have connections to different administration officials, to whether it's a Democrat or a public in the White House, that means real dollars. And to the media organization, because it's all about views and cliques and subscribers and downloads, and so there's money at stake with the relationships that different media organizations have, particularly with political figures and in

political journalism. So while we pretend that it's just all, oh, it's all just journalism and it's just whatever, you know, the made the best man and woman win, the truth is there are a lot of ways that you know, for example, MSNBC would have benefited under the Obama administration, and let's just say other networks would benefit now because of access to the White House or to Congress, to

members of Congress. You know, one really big interview with a newsmaking senator for example, could be worth I mean, if you were to look at the monetization structures of some of these news organizations give me worth a lot of money, especially if they if it goes viral or if they have a viral moment. So, David right Buck listening on the podcast, really wish you would ask that protest answer what the heck Mike Pence had to do with a Pulse nightclub shooting or how many mosques he

danced in front of? Shields Hie. You know, David, you raise a general point here that I have to tell you is fair, which is you know, I didn't I didn't really want to push that guy or try to get over the contentious He seemed just silly to me, and I just wanted to let him speak for himself. There are a lot of things I could have asked them. Also, they were they were kind of finishing up when I got there, so I didn't really have a whole lot

of time, and so I just went down. I wanted to ask the most standard questions of somebody who's engaged in protesting outside somebody's home, and I think we were able to illuminate somewhat of what was going on there.

But yeah, they what does the Pulse nightclubs shooting have to do with the border And you remember, though, when you're talking to people who don't have much of a context or a or a knowledge about any of the subject matter they're involved in, you know you don't want to drive yourself crazy with trying to make sense of what's nonsense nonsensical. You know that that's one way to put it. Chris writes Buck trying to fill last minute

Thanks for being a voice of sanity and an increasingly insane world.

Oh yes, this was the how the next Attorney General vows to probe into Donald Trump and his family. Indeed, I have seen this. I think I talked about this a bit on the show. This is the new world that we're entering into where you really just have the blatant politicization of prosecutors offices of the DOJ, and it's all justified under this idea that, you know, whatever they have to do in order to get Trump is fined.

That anything that takes down Trump is worth doing, even if it destroys some of the most important foundational aspects of rule of law and in our society overall. But yes, the incoming Attorney general has strayed up said she's she's targeting Trump for political reasons, and then you'll have people turn around, so there's nothing weird going on here. They're

just criminality with Trump and old people around them. Like really, because if that were the case, I don't think you'd have to have people who haven't even taken on the job of prosecutor yet who are saying, oh, we're going to prosecute those people. It's all politics, my friends, it's all politics. Bill Rights. If the worst that could possibly happen and the Democrats were able to remove President Trump from office, wouldn't Pence have to go too, because they

were elected as one Bill No. My understanding of how this works is that if Trump were removed from office after impeachment at the Senate voted by a two thirds majority to remove the President United States from office, then Vice President Pence. I mean, that's why we have the succession in place that we do. Vice President Pence would become the president of the United States, So that's what I think would happen. By the way, this is from Arias.

You mentioned something about wanting to look cool by growing a beard. And according to foxnews dot Com, sixty four billion narcotics crossed the border every year, so one hundred billion on the wall would pay for itself on about a year and a half, not counting all the cost

with the incarceration of criminals. Now I mean areas. It's true that with all the narcotics that cross the border, when you think of all the first of all the death and misery and despair, let's cause by the mass of fentanyl and other things that come across the border, and then when you add to that all the cost that we have in trying to prevent this stuff from continuing on the law enforcement and health cost, and it's astonishing.

And that's why I mean, the idea that we can't do the wall because it's too expensive is just idiocy. It's just not a serious argument against it. It just doesn't hold up when you apply even a rudimentary scrutiny to it. So that's total garbage. You know, I usually am very assure, a very self assured in my proclamation that you know you're not gonna have a shutdown. I'm not quite as sure now. Anyway, have a fantastic weekend. Everybody.
