SanctiComey's Selective Amnesia

matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Analysts, remember, I hope Donald Trump is not removed from office by impeachment because it would let the country off the hook, and it would drive into the fabric of our nation a third of the people believing there was a coup. And we need a moment of inflection where we all get off the couch and say that is not who we are and in a landslide, rid ourselves of this

attack on our values. And if we in a way short circuited that with an important legitimate process through the Constitution, I worry that we wouldn't we be letting ourselves off the hook In away, and we wouldn't have the moment of clarity that we need in this country. That said, if the facts are there and the legislative two houses of Congress think it's appropriate, that's fine. Someone please make the sank to Komi stop. I don't know how much more of that I could handle. Welcome to buck Sex

and show great to be back, everybody. Thank you so much for joining me. I know I was, I was out. I felt very ill last week, but I am back in action, and man, I missed you guys. This is the most fun part, most worthwhile part of my day every day. And I would only take days off when I absolutely have to forrather need, you know, the needs of vacation or health. In this case, it was health. Let's get to Komy right away here. So I read the Komy transcript over the weekend, because that's the kind

of fun party animal that I am. It's hanging out, rocking out, listening to some Kenny g reading some Komy transcripts, you know, as one does. And I'm reading the Komy stuff and then this speech or forum whatever it is. He sits down at the ninety second Street y in New York and has to sit down talk and you get these moments of pure, unadulterated komey Ism that we

should all remember. And now that we see who this guy is, Now that we've an understanding of who this FBI director really was and the role that he played in the anti Trump cabal at the FBI, you got to reevaluate everything that we had heard from beforehand, everything we saw originally about Russia collusion and Comy's firing. This

guy is a hack and a loon. Maybe he has been mentally and emotionally broken by Trump the way so many others who I had, even in some cases previously respected and thought were intelligent, but many of them have been broken by Trump and by Trump is m so that could be the case with him. Although I think that what we've seen is that Comy all along has been a Comyist first and foremost. He's been most concerned with himself and with the institutions, notably the FBI the

Department of Justice that he ties himself to. But you got a really interesting view of how this man sees himself there and how he plays the game, because he's definitely somebody that is executing on a public relations strategy here you know this. He's the one who leaked information to somebody so that I could get into the New York Times to damage He takes all this very personally.

Coomy is a very large ego, all six foot eleven of him, and he says in that one little sound bite we played for you that he's really hoping they don't impeach the president because we need to cut because people would think it's a coup. Yeah, maybe because it really is a soft coup in a sense. He's gaslighting the American people here by saying, well, if if they were to go forward with impeachment and then removal, which

is not for that, it's never gonna happen. This sen it's never gonna move Trump and this is all that's all just happy horse, you know what. But even if it just goes through impeachment, he wants to say, oh, well, they're gonna say it's because of a deep state. They're gonna say it's a soft coup, so that shouldn't happen. Well, the reason we're gonna say that's because it is. Because

that's what we've seen. That's what the evidence shows that there has been a very obvious, now ongoing longstanding plot, a collusion, if you will, between the establishment elites, Democrat Party, DNC, Hillary senior officials, the DOJ, Sally Yates, Brannan, These these left wing partisans you know from the boomer generation, who have bought into all the progressive claptrap about how important they are and how how wonderful they are for the

future of the country and everything else. We've seen what they've done. We don't have even a full accounting of it yet, but we know that they stacked the deck against Trump. We know that they tried to take him

down from the inside. And now you get you get to have Comy out there lecturing us on how well we don't want we don't want the president to be impeached because then people might think, I don't know where they'd get this idea that there was almost some group of senior government officials working to protect Hillary and destroy Trump. Isn't that gaslighting? He is gaslighting you those who don't

know what that is. It's be like if you know if I hit you and then and then five seconds later, I say I didn't hit you and you say, yeah, you did, that's gaslighting you. That's what Kobe's doing. But part of a deep state cabal. And now what do you mean. I mean we can't have them, We can't have removal from office because the people would think there's a deep state cabal. Oh, I wonder why they'd think that, and then play clip four. I can't see that what

the end of the Mueller effort looks like. I don't know what form it will take. I don't know what they'll conclude, and so I can't say in that respect, I can tell you that all of us should use every breath. We have to make sure that the line stops on January twentieth, twenty one. I understand any of the Democrats have important debates have about who their candidates should be. They have to win. They have to win.

Democrats have to win. Now the becomie's not a partisan, you see, That's what they'll tell you, Oh, a lifelong Republicans. Not even true. And by the way, there are Republicans that hate Trump more than anybody else. In fact, there are a lot of Republicans who know that if they switch parties officially, then they'll just be the opposition. So they'd rather keep that Republican they have the Jennifer Ruben

maneuver over at the Washington Post. Keep calling yourself a Republican, so then you have more credibility when you bash Republicans all the time. So that's a stupid talking point that they use, but they use it because people buy you do because they got other things I got to think about. Fortunately, I just have this to think about all day. But Comey is a hyperpartisan, which then makes us naturally think,

when did he become so anti Trump? When did he become this left wing pro elite and therefore pro Hillary actor on the stage here? And what about all the decisions ever made? What about the decision not to prosecute Hillary, which Comy violated department policy in doing that whole Prescot's conference. I mean, there's clearly stuff that he's done where Comy has aired. No matter who you are, you have to admitted. I mean, he got the guy was going rogue, but

he went rogue for the right side. That's why they try to downplay it and say it's not really that big a deal. But it is a very big deal. And why is it that we are told, for an example, that Whittaker, who is the acting Attorney General, is someone who is cannot be trusted because of his pro Trump sympathies, but those same people, so he is not an ethical person, an ethical an ethical individual at the DOJ according to

the left. I mean, I'm not saying I buy this, but this is what they'll tell you and the media, the left, the media. It's interchangeable. And then they will also say, well, the Department of Justice didn't file charges against Hillary Clinton, so you know, that's the end of that. No discussion to be had there. Department of Justice didn't want to pursue the Clinton Foundation, even though there are whistle blowers came out last week who had the evidence.

They got the goods Clinton Foundation. A lot of corruption and self dealing and nonsense going on there at a charity. Yeah, at a charity, but involved the Clintons. What a surprise. But we're supposed to believe that Lauretta Lynch and Sally Yates and James Comey, the people who were making the key decisions about both the Hillary investigations that should have been ongoing, email Clinton Foundation in or just go through them.

Uranium won all of that. The people that are making the decisions about that, and also behind the scenes pushing this whole Russia collusion fantasy. We're supposed to trust those people that they were making decisions in good faith. Then they've only become partisan now or now they've left government. We know what they are, but they weren't that. Then this defies logic. This is not credible, just as Coomy's I don't know, not sure, don't remember. Coomy was in

fun of Congress last week. They released the full transcript of but I read through it, and you know what Comy does to avoid perjury charges. I mean, first of all, he's so smug and sanctimonious. I don't know how people ever worked for this guy and dealt with this guy. I really don't. I don't know, But every time he gets asked a question, it's well to the extent of my knowledge in the situation. I have no knowledge of

that situation. So that he could avoid answering questions and avoid a real perjury trap by just always claiming that he doesn't remember you. And I would note that the DOJ. In fact, Coomy's close buddy Fitzgerald, went after Scooter Libby for not remembering something properly. They try to ruin his life over it. So you know who gets the benefit of the doubt who gets treated in faith by the Justice Department versus who gets crushed, you know, who gets

the Muller treatment. Everybody that comes in his path just gets gets chewed up and spat out. This is where the justice system is failing. This is where the real undermining of institutions is occurring. And it's where the Democrats have been running wild and the anti Trump left has exposed themselves in the most egregious ways. And they want us to just forget about this. They want us to, you know, look at look to some other explanation of

these events. And there I'm gonna talk about the campaign finance issue with with Cohen coming up here in just a little bit. That's their big thing. Now, that's the

big reveal. Oh, we've we've got the president on conspiracy to commit a vague campaign finance violation that would probably be a civil penalty if it didn't avoid it didn't involve Trump, and it's not a big deal anyway, but let's try to end his presidency over These people are bonkers, looney tunes, insane, but unfortunately they have power and they're dedicated, and they think they're taken down this president. Well, They're not going to do it on our watch without a fight,

You know, the President has been very clear from when he ran for office said he wants to protect America's border and keep this country safe. And now more than ever, when you see the caravan, I know what Lindsay Graham

was talking about. You've got thousands of people literally saying we're just going to storm your border and come into the country. And oh, by the way, we have at least six hundred known convicted criminals as part of this caravan. These are people seeking asylum. By the way, Sandraw they were offered asylum and jobs in Mexico and turned it down. So let's not talk about asylum. It's whether or not we're going to have rule of law in the country.

Democrats are perpetuating a scam and a lie against the American people here at the border, and I really hope the administration doesn't take its eye off the ball, so to speak, here. I really hope that they follow through on this. I think though, that the indications right now

are bad. I think that it looks like we're going to see a continuing resolution or whatever the budgetary measure it doesn't even really mean, you know, they're going to kick the can down the road, however they whatever they call it, however they do it, They're going to fund

the government. It's not going to be a shutdown. And it's because ultimately Democrats can't cave on this issue, because their worst fear is that they allow for the robust construction of the construction of a robust wall, and it works and we see a drop, and then not only will we realize that this is something we need to invest even more heavily in, we would see a change in the dynamic over the immigration discussion, overall, over the

illegal immigration discussion, and we'd know the Democrats have been lying to us and just repeating a stupid talking point for not just weeks, for years. For years, they've been saying that a wall won't do anything. So they're desperate to prevent a wall from going up, because if we can then see that it does something, what do they say that. You know, this is just like Democrats were saying, oh, you know the caravans a thousand miles away. Yeah, okay,

wasn't thousand miles away. Now it's at the border. Oh, as I've been saying, they have buses and trains and cars in Mexico. This should be a surprise to no one. But that's that was something that they were saying and thought they were clever for saying it at the time too.

But the latest here, this is from earlier today, it's the Washington Post, is that is that Trump is going to get offered one point three billion dollars by Democratic leaders one point three billion dollars when they meet tuesday at the at the White House. I'm sorry, yeah, when they meet you to the White House. And that's because that's tomorrow, and that is short of the five billion

dollars Trump says he needs for a border wall. Minority Leader Pelosi is saying that, if anything, that they could move further apart on this one. Here's what we're being told. Quote. Schumer had suggested Trump except one point six billion border funding, the funding level included in the Senate bill with bipartist support, but that one point six billion would struggle the past the House, where Democrats won't support it because they say

it's too much, Republicans say it's not enough. It would extend current funding levels, and if no dealers reached by the end of next week, funding will run out for homeland security and other federal agencies. They're not going to run out of money. And five billion dollars for an issue that's important. I mean when I mean they're not gonna run of money, I mean they're gonna extend this.

They're not going to shut down the government. We just don't have the I don't know, we don't have the courage of our convictions on the right for some reason on this issue. I think it's because a lot of Republicans are are really just big phonies on the issue. They're really just not honest with the with their voters and with the people that support them when election time comes about what they want to do with the border,

because I mean, it's now or never for this thing. Man, it better happened now or else it's not going to happen. And five billion dollars for given what our government spends and what it spends money on every year, five billion dollars to protect our southern border is a drop in the bucket, man. This is this is not people who are pretending the expense is what's you know, So haven't we spend like forty or fifty million on the stupid Mueller probe? I know that's not five billion, but it's

forty or fifty million. And think about the money that we spend on they we're spending things on this government. And this is a really important issue. This is about security, it's about sovereignty. And I just wish, wish that the Republicans would would would fight. Man. I mean, just get up, tell the American people why you're doing it. The media doesn't have the ability to just lie to us all like they used to anymore. Get up and fight on this issue and make your case. If you do that,

I think that you'll see. You know, with the Schumer shut down, Trump was able for the first time to get to a place where it seemed like there wasn't this built in, baked in assumption. Then anytime there's a shutdown, the president or the Republican rather the Republican Party is to blame. I think they're gonna cave on this. And every time I've told you in the past they're gonna cave, I think I've been right. I just think they're gonna cave. And this means the border issue continues on and and

you know, we're rolling the dice. If you get a large Democrat majority Congress with a Senate and president, you know, going to Democrats in twenty twenty, which is not far away. We're already already starting to see people talk about their twenty twenty runs. Corey Booker, Oh yeah, Oh I'm spartacuse Corey Booker was up in New Hampshire this past week.

You're already seeing that cycle begin. If they get this in twenty twenty, I'm telling you they're the first thing they're gonna go for is amnesty, and then and then it's all shoe. Then then the whole country has a changed demographic reality. That means the Democrats are a one party state. Effectively, Republicans will be in the minority, and Democrats will just write the laws they want to write, and they'll blame Republicans even though they don't have any power.

And America is going to cease to be America. That's not a good thing. Let's go to this issue of impeachment. They are the kind of offenses that would call for impeachment, maybe grounds for impeachment, the prospect of impeachment, and this is in fact one of the reasons why you have the impeachment clause. Should the president be concerned about the talks of impeachment. If we're going to impeach Synald Trump, the drumbeats from Democrats for possible impeachment get louder. If

House members find impeachable offenses. It is not just the right thing today is their duty. The House is going to have little choice than to start impeachment proceedings. Donald Trump will be must be impeached. Wait do they think that maybe Donald Trump should be impeached? I'm not sure. I don't what a bunch of clowns. Oh man, we've known this. I know there's there's nothing here that surprises here. There's nothing here that you know, we we we listened

to we go. Oh wait a second, I thought I thought they were gonna wait for all the facts to come in. You know what's more likely that I've known all along, that you've known all along that they were gonna find a pretext to impeach this president, or they were just you know, sitting on the sidelines, just trying to play it straight. And turns out that against their better judgment. They really don't want to, they really wish they didn't have to, but they just have to impeach

this president. They have no choice, but to defend our democracy by impeaching the president for something something or other. Russia finance, a porn stall are so. I mean, it's just it changes every week. This is just a this is an extension of the insanity of the that the left has with how every week it's a different reason for why Trump can't be president. You know, it's the twenty fifth Amendment, it's it's the Emolument's clause. It's Russia collusion,

it's the the sympathy for white nationalists. It's he's crazy. You know, he's too unhealthy, he eats too many cheeseburgers. You know, he's a he's a sexual abuser. I mean, they every week there's a new terrible crime that they just, oh, we got to talk about this terrible crime. Trump. You know, either they're crazy or Trump is the is the most dangerous, frightening human being to have ever walked the face of the earth. Um, it's store number one. They've they've lost

it that they are playing into a mass delusion. And all you have to do is go back and and look at what they've been saying all along, all these different things. They keep making, these predict the predictions don't come true, that keep making claims, the claims are proven false. And and there's such an obvious mobilization here of leftist journals to create a perception of the American people that Donald Trump needs to go. You know, that Donald Trump

is is a threat to the republic. And then I just see it here and I say to myself, you know, at what point do I have to take a deep breath. I mean, at least Maxine Waters as as much of a loon as she is, at least she's like, yeah, impeachment. I mean, she's been saying impeachment along. Maxie Waters is more honest on this issue than the rest of the Democrats. They're gonna impeach. People are saying, oh, Pelosi, so wily

in cage. Now, you're not gonna be a lot whether all of a sudden the left is going to show emotional discipline. No way, no way. So hey, props for Waters. She's crazy, but at least she's honest crazy. Play seven. I do believe that the Congress of the United States of America have not assumed their responsibility that's given to us by the Constitution of the United States, by way

of impeachment. This president in my estimation, has done everything possible to certainly be eligible for impeachment, and so I really do think that it should be started. The president is a criminal. The president worked with Cohen, instructed him to go and pay these women to be quiet, to shut them up. The president not with just simply complicit in all of this. He's the one who initiated this

with his attorney. And so this criminal must be brought up by the Congress of the United States for impeachment. That's right. You have a sitting member of Congress just keeps referring to the Presidentited States as a criminal. He's

a criminal, it's what she keeps saying. Hasn't even had a charge brought against him, but there is this insistence that he's a criminal because the Left really, really, really wants to believe that he is a criminal, and they are so invested in this that they're never it's not climate change, that it is impossible to change their mind on the issue, because it would mean changing their mind about how they feel about themselves, change their mind about

how they feel about their own intelligence, their own ability to grasp facts and come to conclusions. It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. But let me tell you how I view this, because I'm hearing a lot of people and I think this is all kind of a head fake.

I'm hearing people that, including some conservatives that I know in media and outside of media, are saying that Pelosi won't allow, She'll keep her members in line, she won't allow the Democrats to go forward with impeachment because all it'll do is push Trump supporters deeper into the bunker for him. And and that's true. I mean, I think it will the same way that we add a little bit of a consolidation occur with cavanall that was including

even never Trump conservatives. I mean, you know, Cavanaugh was a very binary issue. You know, you either believed in decency, the presumption of innocence, rule of law, and justice, or you didn't. And if you're a Democrat, you pretty much didn't. But you know, you see what's going to happen in this whole election process. I think it's pretty clear that Democrats want to run against an impeach president. They they

know they've got the votes, they're gonna do it. They impeach him, and then whoever the Democrat standard bearer is gets to run against somebody. Remember, you know Bill Clinton wasn't running again as an impeach president, right, you know they're gonna they're gonna impeach this president and then use that as a primary talking point for why you know, he shouldn't he shouldn't win reelection. And then they're gonna try to even further use that designation. This is what

liberals do. They name and shame, right. They they attach, They attach one word if they can to somebody, you know, they'll attach you know, racist, rapist, fraud, liar. I mean that they try to just bash people with a single word to define everything about them, many many, many cases completely unfairly right. You know Kavanaugh they were saying was a rapist. That's a lie. These people are liars. They're crazy. One of the most, I will tell you one of the most. There are a few things on the show

I'm very proud of that we've done together. One of them is the constant Stand for life. And you know why I feel that way, because even if if we've saved one if one woman changed her mind because she listened to this show, it makes every single show I've ever done worthwhile. So there's that issue and then the other thing. I'm very proud that we we never wavered. And you know, producer Mike had my back on this one, and DJ John and the whole crew and all of you.

We did not waver on Kavanaugh. And it got it got tough for a while there, meaning that the pressure was overwhelming and the Left was assuming that they were going to be able to just just shame and terrify people into agreeing with them on this whole thing. And we stood strong there. I'm very proud of that. But that's what impeachment becomes. And this is what makes me think, But impeachment becomes how could you, to anybody who's an independent, to anybody who was a swing voter, how could you

vote for this? Impeach president? Oh he's a criminal, he's so dirty, he's such a bad man. It's such a bad guy. And they think that that will have that will have sufficient residence. You remember, the left is all about slogans and chance and the mobilization of emotions for political end. But Trump is better on the economy than Obama.

Trump is better at foreign policy than Obama. I mean, you know, you look at you line these things up and you line up these administrations, you say to yourself, well, on the merits, yeah, is Trump a little as he disappointed me so far with some things. Yeah, yeah, it's a whole talk we're gonna have to have here on

the show at some point. But overall, I mean compared to Obama, and when you add the judges into the mix and his picks on the Supreme Court, I mean, it's just this is no comparison as far as I'm concerned. So what are they gonna do for swing voters? Say? Forget about his record, forget about the economy. He was impeached because he's a criminal, and that then just becomes the whole twenty twenty campaign for whoever the Democrat nominee is.

I do want a note to you, and I talk about business all the time as a major position, and the six people that they have put out that are shortlisted are all white guys. I cannot think of one single public company right now that if they had an open senior position like that or a board seat, you would never in twenty eighteen see that the shortlist is

one or two, three, four, five, six white guys. Even if you're not going to pick somebody else usually put on the list, But that isn't Isn't that stunning that the White House has no problem? Yep, these are our six. If you saw a public company and put out that list right now, they would get collaborate. A lot of interesting stuff thrown in there. That was from MSNBC host Stephanie Ruler. She's talking about the White House Chief of Staff opening right now because, as you know, John Kelly,

General Kelly is stepping down. I saw today they're offering him for a tell all memoir. Fifteen million dollars. That was in the delimail. I don't think he's gonna you know, I don't think that's gonna happen. I mean that's I don't Kelly doesn't strike me as a tell all guy at all, so I doubt. But that's a lot of money for a book. Fifteen million dollars up front and advanced folks fifteen million. If he writes a tell all, he won't do it though he's the guy's got the

guy's got too much honor. I think he's I think he's you know, ticked off at Trump. Don't get me wrong, I don't think there's any love lost between those two at this point. But he just has too much respect for the office, too much respect for the presidency to profit in that way in a way that would very obviously damage administration, make things more difficult, slow it down.

But what was so interesting to me about that exchange on MSNBC is you have this you know, obviously very self righteous lib female host who is saying, you know, isn't it so terrible that they're considering six white guys for the chief of staff role, and the guests, I don't know, the guests is the guess is like, yeah, even if they're only going to pick a white guy,

they should at least pretend like they won't. I'm like, oh, oh, I'm glad that we're now at a place where we prefer you know, in this in this culture that is now obsessed with the appearance of diversity. I mean, not not true diversity of experience, of background, of class, you know, no, no, the the the appearance, the skin deep appearance of diversity

in all senses. Um that we have a society where people would prefer that they go through the pretense of being open to other people, uh, you know, than than white males for the role that they even if they already know they're gonna hire, they gotta pretend like they're gonna hire somebody who's a minority or a female that that's preferable. I'm like, why is that? Why is that window dressing a preferable? But you know, it's just an it's just an interesting thing for me. I just I'm

pointing that one out. But you know, the real problem here, and this is an issue, and this is something that the the Libs and the left have been very effective, um, you know, at doing. The real problem is that the U jobs in the White House, usually White House jobs are such fiercely contested positions. You know, you have this guy Nick Airs who was thought that he was going to be the next chief of Staff and he's not taking In fact, he's leaving the White House altogether. And

people are burning out. And that's one part of it. And that's normal. There's high turnover. There's the pretty high turnover for chiefs of staff and the Obama administration and it's just the way it is. But you got to think about it this way. The value proposition now to join the Trump administration, it is real public service to do it. Now for anybody with a high profile and a successful life on the outside. Because one you're going to be entering a very media hostile or hostile rather

a hostile, media encircled White House an administration. So you're gonna be under siege from day one from the media, and you risk reprisals against you. Never mind, you know, usually you come out of the White House, you're supposed to get all kinds of plumb job offers. You're supposed to get, Oh, you're gonna be on this board and that board, You're gonna be on this TV show as a contributor or, you know all these things, right, I mean you look at the Obama administration. I mean the

jobs that people got from the Obama administration. Jake Carney's like running content at Amazon. You look at the obamaministration people. I mean they have just gotten incredible gigs. You know, HBO is like throwing money and access at the pods. Save the Pod, Save America kids. I mean, you know these people all, Oh, you're trying the Obama administration, what can we do to elevate you and pay you more money?

And you know, even if you stink, by the way, even if you're not even good and with the Trump administration, what you have is the opposite effect, where if you go and you work for this administration, now you come out on the outside. Not only the jobs not there for you, there are people that might decide they don't want to do business with you anymore. And they might not even be never trumpers themselves or hashtag resistance themselves.

They just don't want the heat. So and then it becomes this self reinforcing cycle, of a vicious cycle of because they can't get the kind of people as quickly as they want for some of these roles, then you know, the media tells this story of people don't want to work for a minute station, which then perpetuates a story of how they can't get the people they want. Right.

I also, I'm just gonna say this right now. I find it I find it so obvious and so odious that journalists, you know, they always do this thing of people that are in the media that work for publican administrations are all unqualified. Meanwhile, you know, when Jake Carney was made Press secretary and now is running content, you know, we look at these different people that there were dozens of journalists that went in the Obama administration, all different levels.

None of them we're talked about is unqualified. So journalists have no there's no respect that they confer to just their fellow journalists. It's their fellow lives, their fellow lives. Those are the ones that they're willing to go to bat for and protect and say, oh, this person so great, And I just I saw this with Heather Noward, who look, I think is great. I thought she was a star at Fox. She was always delightful to work with. She's very smart. She's done a very good job as Press

secretary at the United Nations. And people are saying she's not qualified to be US ambassador the United Nations, And say why, but she can't. Have You think Samantha Power so qualified, some crazy kuk PhD wandering around talking about

policy all the time that doesn't actually work. You think you think Samantha Power is is some you know, some great You think Susan Rice with some brilliant foreign policy might look at the job she had, but they trash and look they do it in part also because she fits this moment that the left hates that on the right, there are there are and I can't tell you why

it is I don't know what the reason is. There are a number of very prominent, competent, very beautiful I don't know if we're not allowed to say that anymore. I get in trouble very beautiful women who go on to have gone on to other prominent roles of this administration, and just you know from at work in general, and the left has a particular disdain for the beautiful, conservative, successful,

intelligent female in politics. They really don't like that. That just that stands all the wrong messages as far as the left is concerned. So they know they went after Heather. Now at a little bit. I'm sitting here, I'm like, it's a great pick, It's gonna do a great job. And it's just so typical that all these snide, smug little journos starts saying, oh, she's not well, like Max boot was one of them. Omaha Steaks is America's original

Commission actually ruled on this with John Edwards. They actually came up with a ruling and said that you know what the paying of his mistress was not a was not a campaign finance violation. We've overcriminalized campaign finance. I think we need to wait till we see the full picture. Now. The question that's presented just by Michael Cohen's plea and the just from filing is a crime directed and coordinated by the president, which helped him obtain office sufficient to

warrant his removal from that office. That's a legitimate question to ask. So much lawyering going on here, so much contortion in the assessments of the law and in the way that people talk about these issues on the left, all in an effort to come up with a narrative to frame them in such a way that you can say things like crime and criminal and as though the people involved are bad people, as though there's something really

substantial at stake here. This is the big lie that you get from Democrats when it comes to all things Trump and Muller Special Counsel related. They're trying so hard to convince people. They're trying so very hard to make them think that there's some really important principle at stake here, and what exactly is it when it comes to campaign finance. Well,

what we're supposed to have public disclosure. I'm not even sure that I you know, here's the problem with a campaign finance angle, which is what they're going with here. They think they're gonna end this president one way or another. I mean, they're gonna get him to resign or they're gonna beat him in reelection based on it. They're defin gonna pach him, as we've been talking about. But they

think it's gonna be on campaign finance. I just say, the campaign finance laws, the more the more you know them, the more you pay attention to them, they don't even make any sense. These are dumb laws. The way the notion that people should be treated as criminals for campaign finance issues you look at as you're like, for what,

who is the victim here? Oh? Public transparency. Liberals get in such a little tizzy over this, and then when you try to push them on them, push them on these matters one, they almost all I have no you over the They're just repeating whatever Rachel Mattau or Hayes or Anderson Cooper or whoever said on TV last night. They're just they're just regurgitating the this is what smart people say talking point. That's it. They don't know anything about camp in finance. I mean, how many lives even

know that. For example, packs can be set up for different candidates and the pack has no contribution limit whatsoever. And before you announce running for the presidency, the pack can pay for your travel, can pay for all kinds of things. There are so many ways. I mean, this is why McCain fine gold. Yeah, that's right. Another legacy of McCain that we don't talk about that much. That is not good. McCain find gold. All these things is

a joke. I mean, all you can really credibly try to prevent is straight up corruption, pay for play, quid pro quo. You know, you can't say vote for this bill and I'll give you ten million dollars. But you know, there's a lot of way is to say do this thing for me and I'll do something else for you later. And it's not illegal, but it's pretty shady. It's very hard absent an ironclad quid pro quo situation. It's very hard to really never mind prosecute people just to even

understand what the lines are. And this is what they think they're gonna get Trump on. This is how their grand investigation of all things Trump is supposed to end. It's pathetic. It's pathetic. You know, Peter King mentioned this. He got in this little bit play clip eleven Adam Schiff has been talking for two years about evidence of a collusion, and so far it has come up with nothing.

If he's talking about the case in the Southern District against Michael Kohn, where they're talking about payoffs that were made, again, assuming that those facts that true, I don't think anyone I would consider that to be a campaign contribution. Is it even a campaign contribution? Forget about whether they can prove that this was on a Trump's direction. And Cohen has a huge incentive to lie and say it. Well, Cohen loses nothing by saying this was all a Trump's direction.

I remember cohen employer, So he's supposed to be the one that understands the legal jeopardy. And this is the kind of issue where I mean, if some of you were running, would you necessarily have known that you know, you can't make the personal payoff. And there's a good faith argument that the personal payoff to Stephanie Clifford aka

Stormy Daniels was not a campaign contribution. So if there's a good faith effort that it's not I mean a good faith argument, rather that it's not a campaign contribution, then you'd probably err on the side of well, I'm that's my interpretation of it. This is like taxis I mean, I had a we had a guest on today and this guy had been he was on rising I remember his name. He said he'd been a prosecutor for decades and worked in Alexandria for a while for the you know,

he's an assistant US attorney there. This guy's prosecuted a lot of federal cases. And the stuff you're saying to me was just bonkers in fact, that we're saying that,

you know that, yes, they finally got Trump. They've got him on they've got them on this on the payoff or they're gonna get them on taxes and the tax evasion component here And I'm just sitting here, I'm like, if they really think, if the DEM's the left really believe that campaign finance mickey mouse nonsense, and then turning Trump and the Trump organization upside down and ringing out their pockets, you know, like an IRS audit, which is

effectively what Special Counsel Muller, you know, could be up to next I think, by the way, I don't think I don't think he'll draw a line on it. I don't think I'll do it. But if that all happens, they think the American people will accept that. I mean, Donald Rumsfeld used to write a letter to the IRS. I don't know if you know this, used to write a letter of the IRS every year, saying your tax code, even according to my tax experts, is unintelligible in some ways.

And so I'm making a good faith effort to pay all the taxes owed. But I can't. You know, I'm signing my name to this, but I'm not able to tell you one hundred percent if I did. I want you to know that upfront. But that letter with it every year. This is Donald Rumps, the guy with Secretary Defense, White House chief of Staff, guy knows some things about some stuff. They think that the way to get Trump is to go is to find tax irregularities. The tax

code seventy thousand pages. Any one of you listening right now, I promise you I could, at least if we had the IRS, go after you aggressively. You know, if we could find something that you've done that to tax irregularity, and then you get ano, oh is it criminal or is it civil? Well, as we see here, this is the game of Democrats love to play. The law is not really the law until they wanted to be the law.

Then they're then they're a hardcore. Then then they want people to pay the you know, the harshest finds and the biggest punishments. And you know, then all of a sudden they become really tough when there's a Republican that's in the crosshairs, when there's a Democrat, what it's Hillary and her emails, Oh, you know what, there's no real she didn't mean to there's a you know, men's right. And what you find is that the law is really only as just as the people applying the law. Folks.

That's the under And this is a for a lot of people, I guess, a revelation, but it's a really unsettling one because when you have the politicization of the judicial brands, when you have the politicization of prosecutors' offices, particularly in the major urban areas where you got a Democrats stronghold on politics, When you've got that going on, and then you have the recognition that there's no such thing as justice, that the people that are administering justice

are partisans and are corrupt. You want to talk about undermining the system, that is dramatically undermining our system. And people should feel like they can't trust the system with things like that going on. Absolutely, absolutely should feel very strange about whether or not they can trust a system like this. And I don't take any pleasure in telling you that, because this takes us down a very dark path of the country. But campaign finance reform, or you'd

rather campaign finance laws, That's what I mean. The Libs find of many as many ways as they possibly can to shovel as much money into politics as they can, and then they alter around like a bunch of sanctimonious hall monitors, like we want the dark money out of politics. No, you don't. Look you got Tom Sti or these other idiot billionaires running around throwing money into everything. You get Saurau, a spooky dude. You know all these guys. We'll talk

about Styre later on the show. Campaign finance. That's how they think they end the Trump president of These people are nuts, but they'll stop at nothing, so they're actually dangerous. We have to deal with them. Ho ho, and Merry Christmas, my fellow Americans. Guess what.

One of the few places that used to be a bipartisan dare I say safe space where all Americans could just find excitement and joy and inspiration and escape and relaxation, you know, being a sports fan. Not anymore. And we see this time and time again out Now, before we get into this, I will say there's a very nice story involving Lebron James where he said a ball girl.

I read about this over the weekend. A ball girl had been wearing very unique Lebron James specific shoes time and time again, and one time at one of the games. She had been a ball girl at multiple games. He said, hey, I see you like my shoes and she said, yeah, I wear them all the time. You know, I've been

a fan my whole life. And he gave her a pair of like, you know, super unique Lebron shoes as you can't get her and she cried and it was really nice and it was just a reminder of the power of people in sports or in any medium where somebody has a following, has an audience, has a voice to do something good for somebody. And really, I'm sure that guy made her day, probably made her month. I mean, you know, if I was a big lebron fan, I mean, that's the story I'd remember forever. So you know, that

does still happened. There's still the and and good things happened. Like the Patriots, for example, you know, lose to the Miami Dolphins in the last five seconds of the game. You know, good things can still happen. That's I know. I've bought my peeps in Boston don't boove me. I'm sorry. But there's this other thing that occurred over the weekend where a Heisman Trophy winner. You know what, producer Mike is way more up on football than I am. Uh,

you know, Mike, what happened here with with Kyler Murray. Yeah, so Kyler Murray won the Hisman Trophy and he beat out the University of Alabama quarterback to a Tagovailoa, which he played for Alabama all tie. So going into I think most people in college football believe that to it is the much better quarterback. Um, he's on a really good team. But uh, you know, Kyler Murray was given the Heisman Trophy. Some people say out of you know,

bias against Bama because they're so good. Um, other people on the Oklahoma I'll say, listen, Uh, Oklahoma has a really bad defense and it's up to their quarterback to put up mad numbers every week, which he does. I love all the sports analysis, but you know that we're trying to get into the politics. What happened to him? Right? Sorry? I carried away? I love love for a second. So

so this guy, this guy gets in trouble. He gets the Heisman trophies, first real national media attention, working his whole life to this moment, nicest moment probably he's certainly the most high profile moment of his life. And they find out that when he was fifteen, he tweeted something where he called one of his friends a a mean word for you know, a slur for gay people. Right, isn't that? Isn't that what happened here? Yeah? And multiple

news outlets wrote stories on this. So I mean, how this guy, if he's getting the Heisman, he's got to be like what twenty twenty one. Yeah, he's uh, he's young. He's uh a senior. He's probably twenty two because he you know, he also got drafted by the Oakland A so he's also a baseball player. But he was fifteen years old. USA Today did a piece old homophobic tweets resurface after he wins Heisman Trophy and and they came

after him, and he said that. Kyler Murray wrote, I apologized for the tweets that have come to light from when I was fourteen and fifteen. I used a poor choice of word that doesn't reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group. You know, I've said this before. Man, you know, not only I got two problems with this, Mike. Not only did they go I mean they're going after yeah,

he's twenty one now. Not only they go after him for what he said when he was one kids fourteen. I mean, when you're a fourteen, you're you don't know anything. Yeah, you're a kid. You're a fourteen year old kid. They go everybody's fourteen. But then on top of that, I'd also say that, you know, you go back, what that would be seven years ago, and you know, language and people sense sativity has changed a lot, and you know

what's considered. You know, I think about you know, people would would use the r et a r D word when I was growing up. They would use that as a synonym for for dumb all I mean And now I'm not somebody who is particularly h you know, I think that language should be free and even and even salting sometimes. But when I that actually bothers me. Now, I mean, I'm actually somebody who's like, you really can't

you know, that's not okay. You know, I'm having spent time around people that have that have that issue, have downs. I really react very strongly to anybody thrown around that word like it's some way to make fun of people. But I didn't when I was a kid. People run

around saying that all the time. And you know the word I'm thinking, he used a three letter word that begins with an F here, if memory serves, And while certainly the context of defaming somebody or or or assaulting somebody for their their sexual orientation is is heinous and wrong, a lot of kids said a lot of things that were stupid and didn't realize how stupid they were when they were kids. I guess I'm alone on this one.

Where do you go, Mike? Now, I'm here, and I totally agree with you, man, I think it's out of control.

I mean, if you think about how many of your I mean, if you really think about how many of your peers would run around saying certain things, and you know, calling each other certain things and not intending to attack any group per se, but just you know, using these words as pejoratives, like I mean, you know, you know, I mean, people use the word people use the word, let's say, retard in ways when I was growing up that you would never do it now. And they weren't

saying it about people that actually have severe disabilities. They were just saying it through each other like they thought it was a funny to say. I'm not excusing behavior. I'm just saying, we're kids. Kids are stupid, and they're using the language that's around them, and to go after this guy and this way. Now it just feels like nobody, like Mike, if they go after anybody. I mean, I wonder if you asked Barack Obama, like, did he ever say R E T A R D about somebody he

probably did. Yeah, so does does he never get to talk in public again? I mean, just you know, where do we draw the line here? If you if you can get in trouble when you're fourteen, it just gets me fired up. You heard about the Kevin Hart thing too, right along the same lines. No, what was it? Oh no, that's why he can't host the Oscars? But what did he say? Again? The same thing past tweets like from

years ago, um, sort of the same subject matter. M used some homophobic slurs many years ago and came out and he sort of didn't really apologize. He was like, listen, He's like, I'm sorry for it, but I'm an evolving person. I'm growing person. I'm not gonna like go back like years and years ago after everything I've done and apologize. So if you want me out of the Oscars, I'm out fine. And like, people got really bent out of his reaction to it and him stepping down. Now it's

crazy because now nobody wants to host the Oscars. People are like, it's not you know, you know, I was reading articles today. People in Hollywood are like, you know, it's not worth it hosting the Oscars because if you're gonna get ripped over to Coles for everything you've ever done. Do you mean there's just so many of these humorless, stone face social justice tyrants running around that you know, they can't even keep up with their with their usage

of language and what's accepted. And you know, and you think they'd get the things. You think they'd get tired of it after a while. But it doesn't seem like this gets better. Man, it just seems like keeps getting worse. It's it's usually wind it usually winds up resulting on liberal on nibble crime. They usually wind up eating their own.

It was just hilarious. Oh, absolutely, you know, absolutely, And then they had this whole look it's you know, the one of the things with the with the Me Too movement, for example, is they didn't think they were gonna have to throw a US Senator Al Franken under the bus. But you know, they established the rules. Those are the rules. You know, they they this stuff boomerangs back on them sometimes, so you know, and now people are saying, maybe Franken

shouldn't have even resigned. I mean, you know, I'm not gonna get into that, but I'm just saying that, you know, they make these rules and then they're forced to your point, they're forced to live by them too. At least at some level, there's still double standards, but when there's an egregious violation of them. And look, I mean, Kevin Hart's a guy who you know, I think would usually be considering good standing in Hollywood and on the left and Democrats.

He's very famous and wealthy African American entertainer. But you know, he there's certain certain red lines and he crossed one of them for them. So from Philadelphia, just throw that in there. He's from Philly. Really. Oh yeah, you know, we gotta do like a one year We'll have to do like a like a charity event. We'll auction off for Team Buck. You know, a producer Mike personal guided tour of Philly, like Producer Mike's version of Philly. Yeah,

I think they'd be interesting. It starts the Rocky Statue and ends at a cheese stake place. There we go. That's what I like to hear. So this guy Kyler, I think he apologized, which I usually say, don't apologize. I think it's the right move. But you know, and if you guys have any actual football questions, go to producer Mike with those I'll be back in just a moment. Just let's get beyond the barriers talent, because they're going to hit US police throwing these tear gas kind of

sis and bombs to scalp people. These nationwide protests continue to rock France. Things got rowdy over the weekend. You heard some of it there the Jul Jean. The Yellow Vests have already got some concessions from the government, but

they're not stopping there. In fact, we have a new unofficial list of demands from the Yellow vests that includes a cut to taxes to twenty five percent of GDP, which is half of the current level, better public services, massive hiring of civil servants, leaving the EU and NATO, defaulting on public debt, a new constitution, less immigration, and scrapping the CFA Frank in West Africa. Huh. To make sense of all this, we have Sir Rob Amari with us now. He is an editor of Opinion Collins over

at the New York Post. Sir Rob, great to have you on. Thanks for having me Buckah. So what do you what do you make of? First of all, what have they gotten so far in terms of concessions, and what do you think of some of the some of

the demands they're thrown out there now. Well, on the immediate concessions, remember bucks to sing that set this sauce, was President Emmanuel McCrone foolish plan to hike up attacks on diesel and fuel, which obviously hits people who live in the rural areas and working class people who need to drive around the hardest um, and does not hit his own constituency of the sort of urban elite types who elected him. So that was the immediate I guess demand.

But since then it's gotten a little bit uh far beyond that. We can talk about that. But Macron so far has said he's willing to suspend the tax for six months, and he's but he's been he's been decidedly sort of unwilling to address the protest directly because he has this sort of imperious style, you know, he styles himself a new de Gaul or even a new Napoleon, so he can't deign to talk to the people himself, and he's dispatched the Prime Minister to do the persuasion. Um.

But that's the only immediate concession. Beyond that, there as you mentioned, they have a bunch of h demands that are this new mix of I would say, of what used to be called a far right and the far left. Limits on immigration, but also pulling out of native um uh, you know, he pull out of the EU, but also

cut taxes but also increased spending. It's a it's a mish MANA I'll have to recognize is that the actual movement is this grassroots movement fueled by fueled by fuel issues, let's say, and then all sorts of other groups have attached themselves to it and each are pushing their an agenda. And it's not even clear what the documents that the movement puts out even reflects them that the actual people who are coming out, it's all very confused and very French.

I found it. Yeah, I mean, look, but when the French protests they go big, we can say that at least, right, they don't. They don't when they decide that they're really going to make some noise in the streets, they're not messing around. And they have based on the polling I've seen eighty percent support which for a protest movement like this, for the for the general population to overwhelmingly back them up.

Just goes to show that you know that the French government doesn't have that much of a choice at least backing off of, as you said, the tax on gasoline because of climate change. But I thought this was fascinating because it raised the issue of other taxes and and and the demand for less time is on working people in general. I mean, there are two things that this

brings the mind for me, uh Sarab. One of them is that you saw this initial response from some people on the left that oh gosh, you know that they can't be for less taxation because that seems that seems like a conservative American talking point, like there's there's a there's a sense in the American left, in our own commentariat that any any demand for less taxation is inherently a conservative position, even in a place like France that has a percentage of GDP as a vast tax it

really high levels of taxation. And then and then you know, the other part re thought is inustry is just that you see that the real money, you know, the French tried this millionaire's tax, and look the reason this interest Americans, I think other than just it's a pretty engaging story is that we see your parallels on our own situation,

but the government is basically trying to get away with this. Well, we'll just have the rich pay taxes until it comes time to actually raise the reven and then you realize the rich don't have enough money to pay for all this stuff. The middle class has to a and they have to pay more than they want to. Yeah. I mean, look, France has had unemployment at about ten percent for as long as anyone can remember, maybe a generation. It has one in four young people are unemployed, which is a

catastrophic number in the smartest French people. Often you'll find working in places like New York and San Francisco and London, and not in France. It has this vast state which takes up I mean, it's, as you mentioned, if the size of the state is and the public debt is larger than the than the DPU, and these are issues that Macron actually wants to fix. Any part of his

program is to try to fix that. I think the mistake that he made was to tack on this sort of green nonsense, kind of alarmism to it with this fuel hike, which wasn't just the fuel hike. I'll tell you a couple of other things that they've reduced. They've reduced speed limit on many roads to like fifty miles an hour. And again for people who need to get places fast, it drives you insane. You can only drive

fifty miles an hours. They've passed all these new regulations that make many of the older cars on the road illegal to drive. And people were hour raised and Macrone said, you know what, I'll give you forty five hundred towards the pert dollars toward the purchase of a Tesla orn electric car, which is the most kind of Mary Antoinette elitist kind of thing. Let them meet Teslas. So that

that was I mean, his mistakes. I think if if he had just stuck to his economic performance, and I think the most of the country recognizes that its labor rules are too restrictive for employers and discourages hiring and firing taxes are too high on job creators. I think people got that public sector unions have too much power. People got that, but it all got muddled up with this stuff, plus a kind of a bunch of crazy

immigration stuff that he's he's added on. He's signed up the country for this global immigration pack which is going to get signed with the United Nations this week in Marrakesh and Morocco, which again many French people find distasteful because they think that they've legitimate. I think I felt that that there's had there's been too much immigration, the

ones we are already here unassimilating. So, you know, Macrone didn't do what he really needs to do is to focus on just fixing the economy by reducing the burden on taxpayers and workers and job creators. Instead, he muddled his message with all this sort of other kind of you know, utopian liberal agenda, and it all exploded. Yeah, that's that is a very accurate description. It has definitely exploded.

It has blown up in the French states face. By the way, I'm just assuming you know about Brexit, because you know about all these things. What do you think give give the folks stays some background on what Teresa May they delayed this Brexit vote, but I thought we already had a vote. That's what Brexit was. What's going on here? Okay, So in two thousand and six, seeing the British people voted to leave the European Union by both wide majority and some of the highest turnouts in

British electoral history ever. Um then the question became, okay, how do you actually divorce Britain from the European Union? And what many Brexit supporters feel is that the Prime Minister May, in her negotiations with the Bliss Brussels, went soft and created this situation which they've gone up this agreement together where Britain would remain subject to many of the European Unions administrative rules and regulations in order to

be able to trade with the EU. So, in other words, they're getting really none of the benefits of being a truly independent sovereign nation, which is what the heart of the demand was, but they're not. They're also not getting

the kind regulatory freedom that they wanted. So it's just sort of been like what happens to Brexit And that's really what's happening right now is is to what extent can the people through Parliament get to an agreement that actually reflects a real Brexit and not a kind of soft situation in which they're they're not only getting the rules, but now they're not even at the table to help shape the rules at least Back in the day, they Britain was at the table at the European Union, so

they could have a say on its bureaucratic overreach. Now they're out of it. They're still subject to rule and they don't have a say at the at the table the councils of Europe. So that's the real heart of the matter is can Prime Minister may kind of find her spine to negotiate a tougher deal with Brussels that really gives voice to the vote that was taken in

two thousands weifteen. I had my doubts about various aspects of Brexit, but as a small d Democrat, the people deserve to get the thing that they voted for, which is a real Brexit. Yeah, I mean, it's it's pretty remarkable that they could have a plebiscite, right, that they could have the people decide, and then once the people have decided, now the establishment politicians are like, well, we're not sure they really get what they know, they don't

get what they want. That's not how this goes, which is a pretty bad precedent. I mean, I've got to say I think that that's it ties into a lot of the general feelings right now about the elites and the establishment in the UK and in this country too. And just to that end, I mean the market this morning, I mean how this affects us. Do you think that

this really uh, this this rattled things? I mean I know that it recovered, but people were telling me all the Brexit Brexit fears why the market had to dive this morning. Markets respond to a variety of things, and so I wouldn't just put it down to one, but it's certainly one of them. Is this sort of is lack of clarity is very makes everyone nervous, and that's

one problem. And to your point about the way European elites work, it's exactly right, they sort of when they will say we will hold as many votes it takes to reach the right outcome by the right. Yeah, it's it's populism without the populie. It's populism without actually letting people. Yeah, exactly, exactly all right, Well, Sarabamara. Everybody check out his work at The New York Post and I also follow him on Twitter. So Rob always appreciate you making the times.

Thank you, Tabe. We'll be right back. So basically, when you think about how we're actually going to succeed and actually kick their ass. It's going to be based on justice, environmental justice, economic justice, and all right, that's right, yeah, yeah, And so when we look about what's going to happen in twenty twenty, we are going to have to crust these people. Honestly, I think the whole idea that they're going to compromise, they're going to come to their senses.

They don't really understand what's gonna They absolutely understand what's going they're looking at their interest. They're not fooled. They're doing something that they believe is really good for them,

and to hell with everybody else. We're in a situation that is dire and the ability to be polite to people who are going to put everyone in this room, and for the parents, every one of your kids at risk, and for the grandparents, every one of your grandchildren at dire risk, I think the time for politeness is over. So I've got good news and bad news for you folks.

The good news is that, as you can tell they're from Tom sty or ranting about climate change, you can be a complete moron in this country and become a billionaire. So you know, that's we got that going for us, which is nice. Even somebody who is delusional can become a billionaire. The bad news is that Tom Steyer is a billionaire and he's nuts. And as you can tell from the way he's talking about the issue climate change.

There they are really emboldened right now on the left because of this well one, I mean, they're they're tying to California wildfires as the California wildfires have nothing to do with climate change, okay, meaning that you know, this is like the butterfly flapping the wings in New York, get a storm in Shanghai. Theory of the climate. It's just these things are so far removed from each other.

The notion that they'd be able to draw a causal link between CO two the atmosphere and one period of forest fires in one tiny part of the world, right we think of it, Oh my gosh, it was a terrible fire. I know, but we're talking about just one little area of California, which is one state in the US, which is one country. I mean, you start breaking this down, think of what a microcosm they are using to make judgments about the macro. And yet that's what he that's

what they're doing. And this is now the beginning of what you're gonna hear a lot more of. And I'm gonna have to break it down for you on this show, and I ain't gonna do it in detail today, But this is a thing now, this is the Democrat base.

I'm not sure it's gonna be a big thing in the general because it's such a dumb idea, but in the primary for the Democrats, they're gonna be running on this, and you're gonna hear a lot of a lot of malarkey from the Congress about it, and they're calling it the Green New Deal, and those you were saying, what the heck is that? That's a very valid question because I don't even think that people who are pushing for this know what this so called Green New Deal is

supposed to be. I don't think they're really aware of what the Green New Deal would involve. It just sounds good as an aside. I know this is a little bit of a this is a little bit of a soliloquy within the broader monologue here, but notice how FDR who it's going to court pack who put Japanese Americans

in internment camps. You know, FDR who has so much in his background in his history that you think, by our contemporary standards would be just just unpalatable the left, he escapes, He escapes the criticism of the social justice warriors, He escapes the kind of of you know, pillarying is that is that's a word that the left heaps on

everybody else based on contemporary standards. Anyway, the Green New Deal is supposed to be huge investment in jobs and you know, jobs and infrastructure for renewable, renewable energy, which just means taxpayers subsidizing wildly expensive and inefficient energy programs. What it really means is that it's like Cylindra on steroids. That's what the Green New Deal is going to be.

If these technologies were efficient enough, if they were productive enough, guess what the private sector would be all about them. But you see this, the the green energy sector, it is growing. I'm not I'm not, you know, ignorant of this. Yeah, solar is getting more efficient, solar is getting to these things are but it's slow, it's happening, but it's happening slowly. They're arguing for a great leap forward, if you will, on green energy, And yes, I'm making the historical illusion.

They're on purpose. They're arguing for a great leap forward without recognizing that these you know that these massive government programs and in catastrophe that when the government involved itself in the economy this way, and it's not done by stakeholders and innovators and entrepreneurs, but by government fiat. It's a disaster. And that's why I can tell you and we'll get more into this another time. The Green New Deal is a disaster, but Democrats are embracing it. Oh

that's right. Twitter is now banning conspiracy online. Well, what's a conspiracy? You know what really goes on with conspira? Oh out, it's whatever the left says it is.

But can the government take your home for eight that's right, eight dollars in unpaid taxes? Well, if you live in certain states,

the answer is yes. You really need to hear about this one story by Christina Martin the Wall Street Journal. For eight dollars and forty one cents and unpaid taxes, the government took Uri Rafaeli's house. This was in Michigan, and anyone want to guess what tool of the prosecutors and tool of the state was used here to seize a home for eight dollars and unpaid taxes. That's right, civil asset forfeiture. Let me give you the details of this and then we can jump into more of what

the heck is going on here. Uri Rafaeli is an eighty three year old engineer and great grandfather. He never expected the government treat him like a drug dealer or gangbanger, but last year, the Michigan Court of Appeals held that a county government could use civil asset forfeiture, the same legal process used by police to confiscate drug lord's mansions, to seize a modest rental property mister Rafaeli owned because he accidentally underpaid his property taxes by a whopping eight

dollars and forty one cents. Mister Rafaeli bought the house through his business for sixty thousand dollars in twenty eleven. Later that year, he inadvertently underpaid his property taxes by four hundred and ninety six dollars. When he learned of his mistake, mister Raffaeli attempted to pay the debt in full, but failed to account for the interest that he had

accumulated since he received the bill. He came up eight dollars and forty one cents or Unaware of his arab mister Raffaeli went on to pay his taxes in a timely manner in subsequent years, but Oakland County in twenty fourteen four closed on the property to collect the tiny debt, along with two hundred and seventy seven dollars and penalties, interests,

and fees. Six months later, the county sold the property for twenty four thousand dollars five hundred auction and refused to refund mister Raffaeli any of the profits end quote. I mean this office Walsh journal piece. Folks, Let's just take a moment here, shall we. This is crazy. The state can seize your house for an eight dollar under payment. How about a phone call from one of the countless, very hard working I know, state bureaucrats saying, hey, can

you send us a check for eight dollars? Even better, can you just sign on to this, you know, Michigan dot gov portal and you can just pay with a credit card. Here. Eight bucks. That's all they need. Eight bucks,

thank you? How about that? No, instead, they use civil asset forfeiture to take his home, which is worth you know, let's call it sixty maybe a little more than sixty thousand dollars, probably appreciated a little bit since he bought it, but sixty thousand dollars home and sell it for twenty five thousand dollars. What is this? Who thinks this is okay?

This is America, this is today, This is happening. I know we're all supposed to care so much about Trump's taxes, but why don't we care more about how the relationship between citizen and government is tilted so far in favor of the government on matters of taxation, matters of criminal justice. I mean, this is getting out of hand. Let me go back to Walter journal piece because the details are important. Quote cash strap. Local governments in Michigan rely on profits

from the sale of tax foreclosed property. According to the Detroit News, Oakland County ranked in twenty two point five million dollars by auctioning and off tax foreclosures from twenty two thousand and six to twenty fifteen. County officials use these funds to pay for tax collection expenses and maintain properties worth less than their tax debts, but whatever is

left over gets swept into the general fund. Besides the obvious injustice of such a naked governmental money grab, these types of civil asset forfeitures threatened Americans constituency protected rights end quote. I mean, this is this is so egregious that this could even happen. I mean, you have to read this kind of a piece to believe that this could happen. You have to read this to think that

this could be going on in America. I mean, the Fifth Amendment says they cannot take private property without just compensation. This is not just compensation, and this is not due process. This is just up you owe us. We're just gonna take your stuff because we can because there's a legal loophole that lets us. And you might say, buckwell, why would they do this, Well, we know why they do this because the government, like Skynet from the Terminator movies,

is self aware. The government, whether state or federal, is increasingly a self interested and self perpetuating organism. People who work for the government don't necessarily view it this way, but there is a hive mind effect. And I saw it when I was the CIA, where the institution, the agency, the bureau, the whatever it is, whatever government entity you work for, has to stay fully funded at all times,

has to get staffed up. You know, even more every year, whatever the projections are going to hit, those projections no cutbacks, no pay decreases, pay increases, no changes in budget, only one direction up. And this is very common in a

lot of these. And then there's really a feeling of self righteousness that takes hold of a lot of these government folks that you know, they're owed this by the tax better their their mission is so important, and I mean, I just don't know how anyone could sleep at night who is part of a government, government program that takes by the way, no one thinks that this individual, No one thinks that our Rafaelli in Michigan as a criminal

or a bad guy he owes eight dollars. I mean, I probably still owe Blockbuster eight dollars from the nineties, probably still going to come after me at some point for it too. This is not the this is not the only case like this. There's a lot of civil asset forfeit your cases, and you know it's just out of control. I mean, you know, for example, here's another one. The elderly, sicker, economically distressed are most at risk of

losing property over taxes. Henderson Hodgens lost his childhood at home and farm in town Ship, Michigan in twenty fourteen when hospitalization left him unexpectfully unable to pay his fifty nine hundred dollar debt. Another guy, Benjamin Coleman, who suffers from dementia, lost his Washington, DC home, but he forgot to pay a one hundred and thirty four dollars tax bill. Public outrage over his story prompted the District of Columbia

to change a confiscatory law to protect property rights. I mean seizing property because somebody owes like fifty bucks, you gonna take their home because they owe five bucks? Is this is unjust? This is unfair, and that this can happen in many states, not just Michigan. It happened. It's it's true. It's true in Vermont, it's true, in New Hampshire. It's true in Michigan. It's true at a whole bunch of places, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, Massachusetts, whole bunch of

states have this. We gotta keep an eye on this. There's stories that matter, folks, outside of the constant battle over the trumpethon. There's other stuff here, and we'll continue and follow them here in the Freedom Hunt. Global Verification is the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. You're probably gonna be staffing up in the new year, right, if you got any hires, you're gonna be making. You need somebody that can just take all

the headache out of the background check process. Make sure you get it done quickly, efficiently, and by people that you know, you can trust and you can get on the phone. They're not some huge corporation. I know Mark Buckman, the CEO, personally, he's a great guy. He's a veteran himself, and he really cares about the business that he's in. And call them and tell them at buck Sex and

You know, if you've got somebody else in your background checks, you might want to price it out and talk to what's going or

talk the folks over at Global Verification Network. All right, my GVN dot com Again, that's my GVN dot com. So I just love this story. I think this is a fantastic story because it really is a little window into how things work in these big Democrat machines of politics that you see in places like Chicago and you know,

major cities Baltimore, New York, Miami, Los Angeles. There's there's differences, but there's some baseline similarities at all these places, and that is that this idea that Democrats haven't run around with for a long time, that everyone just wants voter turnout man, and they just don't want voter suppression. And there's no such thing as voter fraud. No, there is

voter fraud. There absolutely is voter fraud, and in fact, we are currently finding out we should know more later this week whether this election in North Carolina was marred by fraud. They might needed to they might not be able to seat the Republican who won, and they might have to have an entirely new primary and general election. That would be the process for that congressional seat in North Carolina. This is a straight up do over, and

it's looking likely that that is the case. There's this guy who is a kind of political fixer in North Carolina, and he's at the heart of this idea or this allegation that people were picking up absentee ballots, which is illegal, accepted a very specifically defined circumstances. In North Carolina, they were essentially illegally harvesting ballots. It might have been more widespread than was even thought. So North Carolina may have to have a whole new election because of fraud for

a congressional seat. Now this story in Chicago, this is not going to get nearly nearly as much attention because it really only plausibly involves malfeasance by Democrats. Right, the chicanery's on one side of things here, it's the Democrat side, and so it won't get nearly nearly the same degree of media interest that for example, North Carolina, where a Republican one has been getting. But this is about a college kid named David Kruppa who's nineteen years old, who

decided to run for thirteenth Ward. Alderman. So the thirteenth Ward, I don't really know Chicago politics well, so part of me, some of you probably know it better than I. But the thirteenth Ward is, you know, in Chicago, and it's it's covered by the Chicago political machine. Some refer to it as the daily machine. And this is an example of a guy who, look, he's a young guy. I think we're gonna actually have him on Rising tomorrow as a guest. I think that's what we've got scheduled, so

we'll be able to talk about it. But he's just a young man who wants to get A young man sounds like I'm some you know, some guy who's been around for a century. But he wanted to get involved in politics. So he figured out that all you need to do is get a certain number of signatures and you can get yourself on the ballot. But in the Chicago realm, that a In this case, a Republican named David Cruppo is a freshman at De Paul University. He drives a forklift part time, and he's a conservative guy

who studies political science. He wanted to throw his hat in the ring and get involved in local politics, and so the thirteenth Ward, which is run by House Speaker Michael Madigan, who is apparently known as Boss Madigan in Chicago and is referred to in the Chicago Tribune as the most powerful politician in the state. So this guy didn't necessarily real but he decided to walk into El Padrone's backyard here. And the current alderman of the thirteenth

Ward is this guy Marty Quinn. But you know, Marty Quinn is no one, no one that you've ever heard of unless you live in Chicago. But the daily machine in Chicago you certainly are familiar with. Remember it's what It's where Obama built his political career. I mean, there's there's very powerful Democrat roots here in Chicago, and it really runs the whole it really runs the whole state.

You know. I was out in Springfield, Illinois recently, and they were telling me that the Democrats that are out in Chicago are the ones that really call the shots for everybody else. Even though technically the city government is in Springfield, it's the capitol, I'm sorry, the state government is in Springfield. So this guy Kruppa gets on the ballot and he gets four He needed four hundred and seventy three valid signatures of people who live in the

thirteenth Ward to get on the ballot. With the Chicago Board of Elections. Kruppa, only nineteen years old, managed a robust seventeen hundred and three signatures. But this is where the story gets amazing. My friends, before he could even file his signatures with the Elections Board, a group of political workers, all right, a bunch of political activists at the behest of the Chicago Daily machine went door to door with official legal papers. And what did they do.

They asked people to remove this young man by signing an affidavit of revocation of their signature. That's right. They moved so quickly to squash this guy that they that they managed to get all of his signatures revoked before he could even turn in the signatures that he had gathers. Think about that for a moment. I don't think anybody really thinks that he's a real challenge in the thirteenth War. But they don't even want to. You know, they don't know.

They don't want to. They don't want to play any games. The thing about these revocations is that they are legally binding documents. They are notarized and signed, so that means that lying on these documents is in fact perjury. And you can even have felony charges for this. And if you have a felony charge, you can't work for the government. So these are people working on at behest of the government who may have you think colored a little bit

outside the lines here? But then things get really interesting. Who wants to guess this young man wants to run in Chicago seventeen hundred and three signatures that he's turning in. But how many revocations of signatures meaning people who say I pull away the signature that I already signed. How many revocations did the Chicago machine, the Democrat machine churn

out two thousand and seven hundred and ninety six. So someone's going to need to explain how it's possible that they found an extra thousand people who claim that their signatures had to be revoked when these political activists went door to door. How is that a mistake that anybody

could reasonably make? And oh, when they did a document match of the seventeen hundred and three people who signed to get young mister Kruppa on the ballot, only one hundred and eighty seven of them of the revocations rather matched the original petitions. So what do they do in Chicago to block this kid from getting on the ballot of a ward in the city of Chicago That this kid has no prayer of winning, I would assume, but who knows, But realistically no chance they got more and

I mean, you know, almost almost double. I mean they overshot he only got seventeen hundred, and they overshot that by a thousand. So you know, it's like a sixty percent call it a sixty percent increase in revoked signatures, which means guess what, people lied? People broke the law. They're turning this over to Cook County States Attorney Kim Fox. But who wants to guess what political party Fox belongs to? Oh,

that's right, she's a Democrat. Now you have signatures, these are tied to individuals, You have people handing in those signatures. You have a paper trail here, and you have a pretty much open and shut case of felony election fraud occurring in Chicago city limits for the thirteenth ward. Also, they could stop a young Conservative from even appearing on the ballot. Does anyone think they are going to be criminal charges from this? Does anybody think that the Chicago

machine doesn't extend into the prosecutor's offices here? This is the thing about corruption. Once you really understand its nature, you understand its extent, you understand that there's no check on this. Really, there's no there's no good faith actors in place, who are going to take this on in Chicago. It's too entrenched. It's two Democrats, too left wing, too corrupt.

What an incredible story. You get seventeen hundred people you think you're gonna start your political career by getting on the ballot, and they get twenty seven hundred to say, yeah, I'm pulling away my signature. And only one hundred and eighty seven of the twenty seven hundred even gave their signature in the first place. A lot of fraud, folks. No one's going to go to prison because Democrats Stemming. It's six foot two and weighing it at two hundred

and twenty pounds. Male to female transgender handballer Hannah Mounsie is dominating at the Women's Asian Championships in Japan. Before his transition in May twenty sixteen, Mousey played for the Australian men's handball team. This is from a daily wire. You know, if I had said five years ago, okay, that you would have a situation now where libs would be telling all the rest of us not only should males be able to play female sports, but they should

be able to play against women. But we should pretend that they are women playing against women. They would have said that that was crazy, that that's fear mongering. And I mean five years ago when I started in media, I remember some of the examples when we would talk about transgenderism and what's going to happen here? We would say, well, what about men and women's prisons and those separations? What

about men and women's sports? Essentially? What about those places, those areas of life where a biology is in fact the determining factor? Right, have said that so many times? How many of you who are men listening to this? No exactly what I'm talking about, all of you and

the ladies know it too. If you were to pick your average two hundred pound, able bodied, twenty five year old male off the street and told him that in a contact sport he was going to play again women, he would be able to play at a very high level,

assuming he was reasonably strong and athletic. Right, you got a two hundred pound, six foot tall guy who's twenty five years old, he's going to be an elite level athlete among females in contact sports, not in tennis or but in sports whereas pure physical strength and speed are really all that is needed, and we just we all know this, but we're being told to forget what is obvious. In fact, we're being told to embrace what is false. Here's the headline here was he played handball for Australia's

men's team. Now transgender, he's dominating women's handball. And I see this now is even going beyond this strength issue to the attractiveness issue. You know, you have the Miss Universe competition, which you know, for pure research purposes. I have occasionally tuned in just to you know, I'm in media and I need to know what's going on, so occasionally I will have flipped on the Miss Universe competition.

I changed the channel when the swimsuits come on. But you know, I have been known to see some of the pageants in the past, and they're all saying the odds on favorite this year to win the twenty eighteen Miss Universe pageant is Angela Ponce, who is male. This is I mean, this is a transgender individual, you know, and and I think it's it's it's remarkable that this has moved so quickly that now I guess you're you're bigoted if as a male who is attracted to females,

which is a vast majority. Despite what you get from watching the media days, a vast majority of males are in fact attracted to females. And it is a deep biological predisposition, right, There's a whole propagation of the species thing that comes into play here. If you're a biological male who is only attracted to females, it is bigoted.

If you really take the woke social justice warriors at their word, it's bigoted for you to not be attracted to a man who has put on all these ostensibly female characteristics on their you know, on their outer body. The problem is, folks, it's also you know, you can always really tell it never you know, I've never seen a transgendered individual who is not obviously male with female accoutrement. If you will, you can always tell. And you can't

actually change your biology. So they can give you the pills and they can give you the surgeries and all this stuff, but ultimately it's just all feeding into a lie. But because of the radical equality that's at the heart of cultural marks and the left, because of the radical equality that is the basis for so much of their agitation and so much of their organizing and really the leveraging of envy as a means of mobilizing people. They

like to pretend that there's no differences between the genders. Therefore, any differences between the genders that do exist in terms of pay or strength or anything else, those are social constructs that are the result of oppression. So I know, I just that's a much more complicated and maybe I'll get into that more than next time, because I feel like I'm just scratching the service with you on that

one this time around. But it's an issue I'm always happy to talk about because I think it shows you how how dishonest and how crazy the left has become. We have our first role call in days coming up. I'm excited about it, So stay right there. The show ain't over yet, folks, it's time for roll call. Well, team, it is so good to be back here in the saddle in the Freedom Hut. Men. It was it was tough last week. I don't know if it was a light flu or a terrible cold, but it was one

of the two. And I try not to whine about that kind of stuff on this show. I know everyone's got their own health challenges. Stop whining. I was in rough shape there that Wednesday show, the last show I did before I had to take a couple of days out. My voice box was basically failing in some of the breaks, and I was coughing up stuff that might as well have been Slimer from Ghostbusters, Like some of the stuff that I was coughing up could have gotten up and

walked out of the room. Bike. I know, I know it's gross. I'm sorry, Producer Mike, I'm sorry, all right, that was gross, TMI. As the kids say, too much information, t AM. I not to be confused with Bay, which is another thing that the cool kids say. We have roll call to get to, so I will get right to it now. First up, by the way, whenever you hear me doing that when I start rambling and coherently for a second during Roan calls, usually because my computer

is frozen up and it has unfrozen. Kyle writes Buck, I don't have cable TV. I listen to your podcast and Fox Business on my XM. But on the treadmill this morning I had a side by side view of Fox and CNN. Fox had at least a half a dozen segments, all different subjects, to include Russia without exaggeration. CNN had twenty five minutes of Russia indictment impeachment coverage and five minutes of Kashogi. To say Trump lives in their heads is an understatement, Well, Kyle, it's not all

ideologically driven. I mean, I can tell you that stories that involve Trump, stories about Trump, get ratings, they get attention, and in a sense, you know people in this media business, you give the people what they want, or else your competition does. I mean that is a very real consideration. And even see Ann for example, overall its ratings are up, even though its prime time ratings are quite a bit down,

and its ratings are up because of Trump. So while they complain about Trump, it's say he's a danger to the press, he's making the press richer, and he's not actually a danger to them. So it's really a win win for the whiny libs of the media. Patrick, Just for information's sake, to follow up on my ancestry, I'm two thirds Welsh, a third Irish, and one percent Congolees. That means I have more African in me than Warren

has Native American. Well, Patrick, thank you for the random, fun personal facts that now the entire country knows about good to hear from you, Adam writes Buck, I'd love to get your opinion on universal basic income. I personally think if properly executed, we can drive a stake through the heart of federal bureaucracy and potentially the Democratic Party slash and burn nearly all benefits to pay for it. Well, Adam, here's the thing. Universal basic income sounds at first for

a lot of folks like a pretty good idea. Right, you need a safety net. Very few people these days argue against any kind of safety net. So if you're going to have a safety net, the thinking goes, why not just give people money and then let them fend for themselves with that money. Well, what would happen is you'd have a similar dynamic to when people say let's get rid of income tax and replace it with a VAT tax, and they say, well, we'll only have a

VAT tax, we won't have income tax. No, the way government, the way of bureaucracies work, you're gonna have both. So by creating universal basic income, what would happen is you would have an additional entitlement and then they would either want to bring back or keep or enlarge Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program food stamps. They'd want to enlarge Medicaid, you know, free healthcare. They'd want to enlarge all these different programs to the poor and give them a universal basic income.

And that's not good. It also would create a perception that the state has an obligation to pay its people. And I think that just at a philosophical level, you know, it's one thing to give somebody. It's one thing to give somebody food or medical care, something to give somebody just money they can do absolutely anything with. I think the amount of fraud you'd seeds is very very high. Look, you've got eighty billion dollars a year, it's estimated in

Medicare and Medicare fraud in America every year. Eighty billion with a bee. So that's that's my sense of that. I don't think we're going there anytime soon. And there are a lot of people who would argue against it for the very reason that it would eliminate jobs. There are there are plenty of people that feel very strong that we should have a large, overpaid and lethargic bureaucratic class in this country working for the government, and that

that's has a state balizing influence on society. This is a good thing and we should have these this bureaucratic establishment. People do believe that I'm not one of them, but there are people who think that way, and writes Jay, just Jay, and I don't know what the secret code is, but you have to write more to me and then I'll know what the secret code is. We can keep the party going. Irene writes, have you thought about joining CRTV? Blaze TV? You are loved well. I read, first of

all very kind of you. Thank you for the encouragement As to joining The Blaze or CRTV right now, I'm in a contract with The Hill, so I couldn't do another TV show right now, and I'm going to be at the Hill for at least a few more months. So the answer your question is, I'm always open to working with good people in media, and especially good conservatives in media. And I have a lot of friends and a lot of people I really like and admire at The Blaze and at CRTV. So we'll see what the

future holds. I really don't know. I'm I'm very focused right now, first and foremost on this radio show, but then also trying to expand out and do more well, really just get more viewership for the Hill TV project that we are working on, but ire and you're definitely thinking in the right general direction. Matthew. Hope you feel better, bro. You sounded god awful the other day. Well, Matthew, that would be because I felt god awful and was very,

very sick. In fact, I kind of got sicker throughout the day. I don't know how many of you have had this where you know your cold is really bad in the morning, but then you kind of you drink your coffee, you know, you get some stuff moving, you get get things flowing, and it's not untill later on that day you realize, oh, I'm also exhausted, and my entire body and my throat and my head are aching. And that's where I was. It was. It was a challenge to get through this show last week, for that

last day. I'm so glad though. I hope you all enjoyed having Lisa Booth in. You'd like to keep you all on your toes and get some new folks in at the Mica in the Freedom Hut. So I'm hearing good things about Lisa's film, which makes me very happy. She's a great gal, very talented. You see here on Fox News a lot, and I know the godfather, Michael Palca hooked it up on Friday, as he always does. So. Indeed, Ryan writes, Buck, I listen to your podcast almost every day.

A lot of times I'm working in people's homes installing window coverings. It was absolutely hilarious to listen to Voice of Freedom while MSNBC was blaring in the background. MSNBC

really is NonStop hatred of President Trump in the USA. Luckily, here in Idaho, most people are still saying, keep up the good work, drink or tea, Get well soon, Ryan, Well, Ryan, thank you, and you should all remember that that you can listen to and therefore carry with you the Freedom hut A show wherever you go, wherever you are, so you've always got a little bit of conservatism stored up

and in your pocket whenever you need it. So if you happen to get stuck at a Marxist meditation festival in Silicon Valley, you could just pull out on your smartphone a little Buck Sexton show, and you know we're gonna bring it home. We're gonna bring it home. It's gonna be all good, Thomas writes, I do love your show.

A note on Bush forty one. Given the glowing press he's been receiving after his death, it's easy to forget that President Bush forty one maintained a consistently better than fifty percent public approval rating until late in nineteen ninety one. In fact, in early nineteen ninety one, he got up to almost ninety percent. Is that right before the way that find that hard to believe, Thomas, But okay, then the press turned on him and destroyed him to get

Clinton elected. In a year and a half, he went from eighty nine percent hide at below thirty percent. I don't know about eighty nine percent approve of my friend. I find that you have to show me some numbers on that. In the nineteen ninety two general election, many were saying anybody but Bush, and I believe that was really thanks to the press. Thanks for all you do, Thomas Oss. Thomas, thank you for writing in and belay you could be running all those poll numbers. I just

that's just shockingly high approval. I can't imagine a president at any time having approval. But as to the media and their treatment a Bush, yeah, there was a lot. There was a lot of disingenuousness with people who were all of a sudden pretending that they thought Bush was so great, they were so supportive of his more refined and dignified Republicanism than what we have now. But that was mostly just to give them an opportunity, as we know,

to bash Trump. That was really what was motivating a lot of the Oh Bush was so wonderful, And it was definitely the case at the McCain funeral. And look, I very much disagree with the decision that was made at the McCain funeral by some people to use it as a as a pulpit to attack President Trump. I don't think that when someone looks back on a life like John mccains, I don't think anybody should think that it has really that Donald Trump really matters in that hole.

But they did decide that it mattered. I don't know. I thought that was strange and I would not have made that decision that I can say. Also, wasn't my decision to make. Caroline dear Buck, I'm just gonna come out and say it. I hate Santa. The elves work all year long producing all these toys, and Santa puts in one hour one rather twenty four hours shift the

whole year, and takes all the credit. It's kind of like when the tax and spend democrats can graduate themselves on all the free government goodies while the taxpayer is the one who really produced the wealth. Anyway, Mary Christmas and Shields I Carolyn, well, thank you Marylyn, Marilyn, Carolyn else it was Maryland. I like your fun take on Santa, and that's there we go. I'll leave it there. I

agree Santa. All of a sudden he shows up. Santa's like the guy who throws an extra five dollars on the table when somebody else pays like a for a two hundred dollar dinner. But you know Santa us to give a little more tips, so he throws in the five. Those you've seen in the show friends know exactly what I'm talking about.
