Shameless Democrats

has the left handled the Molly Tibbots case. We'll get into that a much more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag Noor mistake America, You're great American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins on the Analys No. Welcome to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Great to have you here with me as always. You know what I'm I'm I'm here to be a little ray of sunshine today, folks.

I know it's a tough one out there and Trump supporter land for some of you list, I think a lot of you are like, you know what, Buck, No, it's not it's fine, It's gonna be fine. They got they got nothing. They still got nothing. There's still no collusion. But we sit here and we understand that one. I mean, the left has completely lost their minds. The Democrat Party, because it has no scruples, has a tremendous amount of

area to maneuver. Right, can do anything it wants to do, can find any number of different ways to come at the president. Ohmment, he's crazy. Oh, he's a racist. We have to get rid of him because of you know, racism, always a Russian stooge. Oh now it's obstruction. Oh I'm sorry. Actually, now it's campaign finance. Finally, they just come at him with new charges all the time, charge after charge after charge.

As I keep telling you, what is more probable that there are people who refuse to accept that he is the president, that he defeated Hillary Clinton in a free and fair election because they have lost power and prestige and even a sense of self as a result of Hillary's loss, Or that Trump just has broken all of these different laws. Never any proof of any of it, though, But he's broken all these different laws, and they're just hot on his trail and they're figuring it out. I

think we all know the answer to this. UM. I think that this is a moment in time that is testing us because we understand that the other side will stop at nothing, they will do anything that they can, and they are celebrating this. There's no small part of me that feels disdain for those who want to celebrate the downfall of a presidency which has not happened. My rents and I believe in my heart of hearts absolutely

will not happen. But that folks would want to celebrate that at a time when actually the country is doing so very well tells you all you need to know about them. And the same Democrats that want Trump to get impeached, to get removed from office, to or even to get criminally prosecutor the ones that you know, we're happy to root against our soldiers and their safety in the Iraq War, remember the Pelosi era and the House Representatives two thousand and six, two thousand sevent eight. Oh yeah,

that's right. There were Democrats who are hoping we were going to be even more bloodied in Iraq than we were because it would it would be hard for Bush. That's right, that was what the mindset was, and I saw it. I remember I was in the c I as a rock office, and I was briefing people going down to Capitol Hill, meeting with the top policymakers, meeting with the president. And I remember what the Democrats were

like that. Now that mentality has just shifted. Instead of Bush is a war criminal, it's Trump is a can paying finance criminal. Is that even? Is that even a thing? The dirsh waited on this one. We also interviewed him on my show Rising This Morning, Play four teen. Some stations are already playing the funeral music for President Trump. But this is much more complicated and much more nuanced. First of all, the crime itself is very very vague.

They try to put Edwards, the former presidential candidate, on trial, and of course they got an acquittal. But second, it really require depends completely on the credibility of Cone. And remember, as Judge Ellis said, when they squeeze people like Metaphor or Cohen, uh, they squeeze them not only to sing, but sometimes to compose. And it's very easy to embellish a story. This is the beginning of a story that will unravel over time, but it's not nearly as deadly

lethal as some have portrayed as being. Now you mentioned John Edwards, John Edwards for those who may have forgotten. Was a particularly only a genius politician, He was a He was a slimy fellow. Was known to conjure, and I mean that in the in the sort of older sense of the term, to to bring up to be a conjurer of the voices of dead children for the purposes of swaying juries. To give very large verdicts to people who were plaintiffs suing hospitals and or doctors. That

was how John Edwards made his money. Yeah, and I mean he actually this was on court record. I claimed to speak for a dead child. The dead child was speaking through him. That was who John Edwards was. Vice presidential candidate folks for the Democratic Party at different times. I mean I think he won a number of primaries at different times. Was number two in the UH in the running for the Democrat presidential nomination. And he had a love child with is that is that the property

whatever the term is. He had a child out of wedlock with a real hunter who had been his videographer. He had hired her after made He were in a bar where I meet all my videographers, and they had an affair and his wife was dying of from cancer at the time, and some of his when he was

running for office. When Edwards was running for office, some of his supporters arranged for I think a million dollars or so to take care of his mistress and the child, to pay for their upkeep and everything else, and to keep this quiet. So they brought charges against him. Charges were brought against John Edwards for that, and there was

no conviction of John Edwards. So I just want to know, get given that that was the outcome there, why why would the outcome here with a a much lesser issue, with much less clarity as to Trump's involvement or whether Trump really knew and at what point he knew. I know he said earlier today and interview the Fox he only knew things later on. Why would we think that this would then? If that was not criminal? My friends, how could anyone really think that this would be criminal?

With Trump? It's as though we've we we have. I'll be talking about running the experiment in the economy later, but we've run the experiment from a criminal justice standpoint on this, and everything for Trump was should be, should be fine, and I believe he he will be um this is interesting, But the one more noting from our friend Andie McCarthy on Cohen's role on all this play fifteen. These guys got on the government's cross hairs because of

their connections to first candidate and now President Trump. I don't think there's any question about that. But I do think that the Cohen case ended up in the Southern District because Mueller didn't see him Cohen as somebody who was going to advance his Russia investigation, and the Southern District had a different line of interest in Colin. I don't think they regard him as a witness. I think for precisely the reason you've pointed out. You know, he's

made statements that are all over the map. They did elicit that from him today when he gave his allocution at his guilty plea. But I think if they regarded him as a valuable witness or a cooperator, you'd see a very different kind of plea agreement. Yeah, that's right. I don't think Cohen's got anything. Folks, his lawyers trying to make it seem like he does, trying to get a better deal, trying to get a little sympathy for him. I don't think Cohen's got any goods because there's no

goods to be had. One more thing, I'm more taught with this more and I gotta get to the Supreme Court and how they're not trying to make this effect. The Supreme Court and the Democrats are utterly shameless. As you know. Trump is um is a movement. One thing that I have to remark on excited it's it's fascinating to me is that the Left seems to think if they were able to impeach and maybe even remove this president,

that they would stop everything that he stood for. When I think that in many ways they have no idea what they will have unleashed on themselves politically speaking, if they stop this president through a legal weaponization, through this which hunt process, because trump Ism will continue on even beyond Trump, whether it's six years or six months from now, if he were to step down, We've got a lot more show coming. Eight four to five, eight four buck

stay with me. The Judiciary Committee should postpone Judge Kavanaugh's hearings at this moment in our nation's history. The Senate should not confirm a man to the bench who believes that presidents are virtually beyond accountability, even in criminal cases. The doubts about Judge Kavanaugh's fitness for the bench were just magnified by Mr Cohen's plea agreement. The prospect of the president being implicated in some criminal case is no

longer a hypothetical that can be dismissed. It's very real. Oh what a surprise. Now the Supreme Court is also going to be they think at one of the political spoils that they can count on here, Chuck Schumer immediately jumping onto this one. Uh, the idea that they would delay the they would delay the confirmation hearing of Kavanaugh is is so classic, isn't it. By the way, that they're not going to win the sett anyway, So what's this going to be. What they're really saying, though, is

that Trump is not the president, you see. That's what they're tapping into here. That's where they get this idea that they can get away with saying things like, well, it's you know, the Supreme Court would be illegitimate. In fact, that's what some Democrats are saying. There is a line out there now that essentially says the Supreme Court would be an illegitimate institution if Kavanaugh was put on it

by Trump. Krugman. I think the New York Times takes this line because essentially Trump is not no longer really the president, not my president. Has turned it into no, no, not my president. They think this is this is real, and this is what brings you back to folks. This is all political. It is all political, okay. They it's not that Trump has is the worst person ever who's done all these terrible things and all this other stuff. No, that's not what's happened. I know you know this, but

we we have to remind ourselves of it. They have done everything that they can to weaponize the Department of Justice, weaponized federal prosecutors against the administration and the terror I mean, the part of this that just drives me insane is that the administration, the Trump administration, should have stopped this in the very beginning. Never should have had a Jeff Sessions recused himself, you know, just it never should have

been allowed to happen. It was a huge mistake. Those of you who have been listening to the show for a long time now. I was opposed to the appointment of a special counsel the whole time from day one, and said there's a bad idea it's a bad idea

because I knew this is exactly what would happen. The Special Counsel would be created to look into Russia collusion and deal with the threat to our democracy, and then it would just be subpoena this, subpoena that, bring this person, and bring that person, and charge this one with lying, charge that one with tax raw and charge that one with you know, obstruction, whatever it is. It would just become a vessel for the Democrats to get vengeance via

the legal system, and in doing so. I mean, these are the people that have been lecture ring us about institutions and about they're the ones. How can you take seriously that Democrats have not politicized in ways that I don't even know if we'll ever be able to repair the federal justice system. I mean, this is we saw this, folks. We saw this with the way that the I R. S was used to go after conservative groups, and everyone said, oh, well, you know, maybe it was just a little just a

little mistake, just a little whoopsie. No, it was much worse than that. There's no accountability there whatsoever. But they weaponize this state against citizens that generally speaking, I have problems with the state and here with this with the Supreme Court fight. You know, you can see that there, this is all it means to an end all these all these different prosecutions, they're bringing all these cases, everything

that they're doing. They say it's about Russia collusion. They say it's about finding some you know, formulation that will allow them to, uh, you know, to to go in front of the American people and say, well, you know, we've investigated the Russia collusion with Trump and this is what we found. They're just looking to get stuff like this. They're trying to get Cohen on his taxi licenses or his taxes or is whatever, and flip people and flip people, and you know, yeah, do I think that Trump made

a mistake by having some of these people around. I'm sure you know. Do I think that when Scaramucci met me in the green room at Fox News way before Trump took office, he should have been like, hey, you you're really smart and very ethical. I should actually make you like Deputy White House Press secretary. Yeah, they probably should have done something like that. I'm just saying I'm not gonna be shy about it. I said, hey, mooch,

how can I help Mooch. Mooch didn't want my help, so Mooch lasted five days, seven days or whatever it was. Boch could have used my help. Uh, but you know that they brought in that he brought in some very bad people, There's no question about it. And he had coming around and well before the campaign. But you know, people, I get it. People. They have an affinity for an individual, and you know, you know, you think you can trust somebody until you can't. But this whole thing about the

Supreme Court, this is laughable. What what constitutional basis is? Well, we have some guy who's a convicted felon and a and on the record a liar who says that the president told them to do something illegal. So now he does is he not the president anymore? No, No, that's not how this works. You don't get to use an allegation to uh, to take back a Supreme Court pick. Ultimately, these people are really they're they're also worried about Roe v. Wade.

You know, Oh my gosh, what would what would we do in a world where women just have to actually have their babies? How will how would democrats face such a daunting and horrific future? That's what keeps them up at night that everybody that that babies get to live. I mean, this is the Democratic Party. It's really sick. It is they got they've very deep rooted problems, and

they've they've turned this anger on Trump. You know, there's no effort whatsoever to convince the American people that Democrats have any good ideas. Every time they try to talk about an idea, they sound like a bunch of idiots. Oh, Kasio Cortez, free school, free this, free that. You know he's gonna do more. You're gonna do more for minorities. Do what, Well nothing, We're just we're gonna do more for them. Well, well, what does that even mean? Stop

asking so many questions. You must be racist. This is the entire opposition effort. This is what the Democratic Party's turned into, a bunch of little bureaucrat tyrants. They use the and I know it's yes, Look, guys, I agree, it's a problem that you have Trump in power. But then again, look at what happens even though he's in power. You know, he's got people in the Department of Justice that I eat him and he can't get rid of them. And if you did get rid of them, people would

mutiny and they would freak out. You have these deep state elements. These leave behind most of the mostly from the Obama administration, but silom have been around for decades. They hate Trump. He can't get rid of them. And every time he tries to exert his constitutional executive authority, you've got people up. Whether it's a some random federal judge or somebody else. You know, they come out and try to stop him and take away his constitutionally granted authority.

Even though the whole thing is just a mess. And I know that right now it's tough for some people to stand beside the president. But look, it's for me. It's not really about Trump. It's about the agenda. It is not about the man. I don't really care about the man. He is there to serve a purpose. He is in a role. He has powers for a reason

as long as he is using those powers. Two ends that I agree with, and also, by the way, think are beneficial to all of us, are in the long run, going to promote uh wealth and I mean for all of us as in the sense of prosperity and and it better outcomes for the American people that will greater, have greater respect for our freedom and our liberty and

our individual dignity and rights. I'm supportive of it. All this other stuff, you know, the stuff Stormy Daniels and Avanadi and the media, that's the whole thing is just such a circus. It's such a circus. And it's because the Democrats offer up nothing in response. We've we've seen now, we've had that if we've run the experiment, folks, We've run the experiment, and Trump is better at the economy

than Obama was. That's what's going on. We've run the experiment and Trump understands business better than the leaders of the Democrat Party. That's it. They can they can say they want to fight against as they can say that you know, it's oh it's the Obama economy, that's all noise. Oh and that we shouldn't have Trump appointed Supreme Court just says why this is ridiculous. But you know, I worry. I think Jeff Flake is still on safari. I mean,

I'm seeing being serious, I think he's on safari. He was, and people like, is he coming back meaning in time to vote? No one really knows. I think Brussour is a disgrace. I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly. I think that Brussour is a disgrace with his wife Nelly, for him to be in the Justice departments and to be doing what he did, that is a disgrace. That is disqualifying for Mueller. And Mr Mueller has a lot of conflicts also directly yourself. So you know that Mr

Mueller is highly conflicted. In fact, Tomy is like his best friend. I could go into conflict after conflict, but sadly Mr Mueller is conflicted. But let him write his report. We did nothing, there's no collusion. But if he was doing an honest report, he'd write it on the other side, because when you look at criminality and you look at problems, take a look at what they did, including colluding with the Russians. The other side, what was Bruce Or doing right?

You remember Bruce Or was I think number four the Department of Justice and very much involved in the dossier, Russia collusion and all that stuff. His name is popped up a bunch. You remember his wife, Nellie Or was actually an employee of Fusion GPS, which paid for and then manufactured uh the dossier sent helped pay and send it around. Right, all this stuff going on, So the big question is what was Bruce or doing And it is the one that our next guest addresses in her

latest column. Kim Strassol is with us now. She's on the Wall Street Journal at a chorial board. She's a columnist also the author of The Intimidation Game. Kim. Great to have you on. Thank you so much for joining. Uh, I just want to pose your question to you. So, what the heck was Bruce doing? Hi? Hi, Buck, thanks for having me on. Well, look here's you know what

he's doing. He was funneling information from Christopher Steele, the obviously the author of the infamous dossier from Christopher Steele to the FBI. And the reason that this matters is that the FBI had already terminated Christopher Steele as a confidential human source. He had broken all of the FBI's rules by talking to the press, and so they said,

we can no longer work with you. And yet we now find that months after that happened, Bruce or the senior Member of the Judiciary, is act or at the Justice Department, is acting as an intermediary and and sending information from Christopher Steele to the FBI. And he's doing that even though his wife works for the same organization that Christopher Steele does. He obviously has a huge conflict of interest. He does not disclose this, at least not in his financial forms and as so far as we know,

not to his superiors. Um and so that's an issue as well too. Now this would seem to me to be a case of kim ra We would already have a lot of answers here. Why haven't Why have we heard more about this guy? I mean the conflict of interest just in that his his wife was Look, I think we can all assume that he was talking to his wife a lot, right, they lived together, uh, and she she helped bring this information to him. How can the FBI justify any this or do we just not

know what the FBI really says about it? Well, they haven't even tried to justify it, and I think because it's unjustifiable. And this is an important point I tried to make in the columns. It up until now, the FBI has continued to insist it did nothing wrong during despite you know, everything that we know about what they did do about using the dossier, not telling the court entirely about the dossier running informants into a presidential campaign.

I mean, these are things that I think should be very troubling to anyone, no matter what side of the aisle you're on. But throughout that they have insisted did nothing wrong. This clearly is problematic, um, not just in terms of what Mr or himself did and the fact that he didn't disclose it, um, but that the FBI chose to use him because again, remember that this informant program or source program that they had that Mr. Steele was part of, that they were using. It's not some

willy nilly thing. It's got rules, guidelines, his entire manual gathering, you know, governing who can be an informant to and a source for the FBI, and what they need to do to maintain that status, and what the agents handling them need to do. Um. And this was all disregarded, and the FBI went back to Bruce or uh And and continued to obtain information from a source that they had terminated for violating their own rules. What would happen here?

What has to happen, Kim for there to be accountability for how this was handled? The dj N FBI side. I mean I put myself in this category. I think a lot of folks feel like, well, you know this just this is drags on, a dry bags on, and you know, yes, okay, Struck was Struck was fired, McCabe was fired. I mean, some people have clearly have been fired. Are we ever going to get a comprehensive report on

just what they did? I mean, the president's in power, he should be able to direct the executive branch to produce the necessary documents, give us the information. Is it a function of waiting for the Mueller probe to end? I mean, essentially, is the are the President's hands tied to try to get to the truth here and let the American people know what happened, because anything that he does is going to be called meddling in the ongoing

Muller probe. What do you make of all that? Well, I think we can feel pretty confident that we are never going to get an internal house cleaning and a report on an admission of a problem from within d O J or FBI. That is really, to me very disappointing that you do have two new leaders there, Rod Rosenstein at the Department of Justice and Christopher Ray. Neither of them have shown an inkling of interest in saying, look, there was a problem here, we are looking into it.

This is why so and so was fired, this is why so and so was moved out of their position. Because remember, nearly every part of that Comy inner circle has now either been fired or removed from their jobs or retired. Um. That is to me an admission that there was clearly a big problem and that internally they recognized it, but they have not come clean to the public.

So the question then, I mean, we at the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal have been advocating every chance we have that the President uh declassify many of these documents. It doesn't have to be a lot. There's a discreete a number of them. We even went out and said, here are the ones that would provide the most information to the American public. Um and at least

to get that out there. And then, because I think the only other avenue we really have will be to wait for the Inspector General's report, but that could be at least another year in coming. Kim, I've got a theory I want to test out on you. Everybody we're speaking of, Kim Strasso, obviously of the Wall Street Journal. Her pieces what was Bruce or doing? She tries to answer it, but the the short version is wasn't good. Uh So, so you should definitely all check that out.

But Kim, here's my theory, because people have asked me this, they say, how is it that you have some of these individuals at FBI d o J who seemed like and I'm not talking about the ones that have already been fired or under suspicion, but yeah, I mean, you know, you mentioned Christopher Ray for example, FBI director. How is it that these guys are also in on it? And

I try to explain it to people this way. I think that if we really knew what happened at the top reaches of the d o J and the FBI, I mean, if we really knew without you know, the games and the redactions, if the American people found out the truth, they would have a very hard time thinking of the FBI the d o J in the same way.

And so even for those who are not necessarily anti Trump or you know, they weren't Hillary cronies, but people that are institutionalists that have spent a lot of time in those decades in many cases in those organizations, they feel like they have a duty to the greater good to protect those institutions from the you know, the the I or any the the distrust for generations of the American people. What do you think about that? I think

you've nailed it. This has long been my argument too, that these folks are institutionalist, and I think part of it is what you describe, that they feel the need to protect the department or agency that they work for, UH to the extent that they are willing to overlook and even justify things that if they were on the

outside they would not. I think too. It's also a bit of an I use this word carefully, but but craven nous and that you and I both know if you work in an institution, you were surrounded by people on all sides that are saying, no, what we did was okay, it was okay, it was okay. It's very hard to break from that pack to go and basically infuriate everybody who works for you and works with you and around you. And so I just don't think you

have the test of leadership there. And remember neither Rod rosensty nor Christopher Ray were necessarily chosen for those reasons. If you look at the rest of the Bush Bush the Trump cabinet um, they were chosen as reformers, people who were going to come out inside and really shake things up. But Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Ray both came in under somewhat of a hurried and dress a process um where they weren't necessarily vetted because they were going

to clean house. They were vetted as a safe choice that would be easily confirmable by the Senate in the middle of that entire rush that surrounded the whole supposed Russia scandal. Kim, just before we let you go here, what do you think Mueller's motivation is? I know, I'm kind of asking you to look into a man's mind.

You know nobody can do that. But do do you think do you think he's a partisan along the lines of some of these others that clearly I mean, anyone who tells me that stalker McCabe that they aren't partisans they didn't use their office, I just can't take that argument seriously anymore. Do you think Mueller just views it as he has to almost mechanically go through literally every

nook and cranny of the investigation. Just go through everything he can, because that's the only way the American people will have faith and assistant. Or do you think he's actually he's anti Trump? I mean, do you think this is this is a witch hunt. He knows it, and he's down for that. I think he's something almost as concerning as a partisan. He's a lawyer and you know,

a prosecutor. And look, this is one of the problems with special counsels is nobody wants to go in and spend two years of their life and say I didn't get anything in the end, right And and this is always the issue with a special counsel is that they do not feel as though they have done their duty or their job unless they come out of it having bagged someone, someone big, preferably because the field that that

was their mission. Um And and we've seen that again and again and again and so far, Mr Muller has done a pretty decent job of unraveling UH what clearly was an effort by Russians to engage in some small time disrupt and UH and chaos sewing here in the United States. He's trolling on social media, et cetera, and so on. It's great that he did that, but I don't think he necessarily ever viewed that really as his job.

I think it's a noble job that he'd done that, but remember he was more specifically tasked with looking into Mr Trump, and and having come up completely short on that front in terms of collusion and obstruction of justice, it seems he's just not willing to let it go. Kim Strass of everybody of the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board, the one and only, Kim, thank you so much for make the time always great to have you stopped by

the Freedom Hunt. Thank you. Could I just take one opportunity to remind everyone that Michael Cohn has suffered a tragic and difficult experience for his family. He's without resources, and we've set up a website called Michael Cohen truth dot Com that we're hoping that he will get some help from the American people so he can continue to tell the truth. The audience isn't They don't know if you're ready to donate landing, but we did check before we went to air. It's got seventy dollars in it

so far. And listen, we appreciate you coming on. I would say the reaction of your audience, maybe that they're not as interested in getting the truth out about Donald Trump as many other people in the country. Approximately sixty of the country would not have the reaction of your audience. Okay, by the way, it's I was I overstated. It's twenty it's not seventy thousand. But you know, for Cohen's Hope Hope Springs the Journal, I guess yeah, I I suppose so, folks.

I don't know what to make of this. Now that we live in a country where even people who are our villains and rich villains at that, I think that they should set up a go fund me page like, hey, hey, will you uh you know, will you give me some money? You got anything for me? What is that all about? Um? You know what what is that? What are we supposed to make of that? And this is crazy? I mean, Cohen is rich. Cohen has made millions of dollars millions

of dollars. Uh, and you know he's now asking people, Um, he's asking people to give him cash so that he can pay his legal bills. Because everybody realizes right now that Cohen is trying to get on the you know, he's hoping the door is going to be open to him to be a hero of the resistance the way McCabe and Struck and some of these others are. And you know what, what what you end up finding from that is that at least those guys, yes, they were deep state, and they were bad and they were Oh

my gosh, producer, might just let me know. Struck is up to four hundred and forty two thousand dollars four hundred and forty two thousand right now his go fund me account, So I guess, you know, co cole and just has no shame at all about this, and he's like, yeah, let me let me just go for it here, I'm gonna I'm gonna request more money. Look, I will say this though, even if you're rich federal prosecution, you will

you will blow through a fortune like it's nothing. Um. I've had I have some friends who are very expensive.

One one friend in particular, is a very expensive criminal defense attorneys like the sometimes he actually had a client he told me this once and you know, without breaking any confident confidentiality, but a client who basically decided, look, I'm gonna take a I'm gonna take a deal, not because I'm guilty, but because I don't want to go bankrupt, and I'm only facing you know, like six or twelve months or something, and doesn't didn't want to lose all

of his money in his house and everything, because it wasn't worth it to him. And that's what people and he had been fighting for a while, and you know, they offered him a deal and was gonna go to trial, and he said, finally, are I'll take the deal because he knew if you want to trial, he's gonna go bankrupt. Now. I don't think Cohen's better go bankrupt. I just think it's funny though, that, you know, Landy Davis is out there with Cohen now trying to turn him into some

kind of a reformed guy. When when wait, McCabe has raised over five hundred thousand. My gosh, folks, the people you know, you know, I always tell you how the left takes care of their own. Now they're doing it in the open via go fund me accounts. If you are a deep state uh petty tyrant who used your political power or used your government authority to try to take down Trump, there are now people who will just will actually throw money, throw money to you. They'll just

give you money. I mean, this is like an after the fact bribe in a sense, right, McCabe and straw cab me, they're they're getting paid for their they're ill deeds. And now Cohen wants to get in on that too. I also see here there and they're subpoena ng uh. New York State has subpoena at Cohen and Trump Foundation.

They're just trying to pile on New York State. All all the New York State legal apparatus just wants to what wants to pander to the Democrat base and do everything they can to look like they're trying to get in on the on the takedown of Trump as well. So nothing here I think that's all that significant. But they are looking to go after Trump Foundation. They're gonna go after everything, folks. This is just gonna be. This

is the way they're gonna oppose Trump. They can't beat him on policy, they can't beat him on substance, So they're just gonna use the law to bludge in this administration into you know, inefficiency, one way or another. New York's Democrat Governor Andrew Proma even declared that America was never great. Oh, I say, tell that to our great soldiers at World War one, World War two, free in law, so many others. Tell them to the folks that sent a rocket up to the moon, and our great astons.

Tell them to all of the great medical research we've done in this country. And he says America was never great. I would imagine that's career threatening, right, I would imagine how did you get away with that one? You know, the President raises there the point of Andrew Cuomo saying that America was never great. He says, you know, that

should be career threatening. But as I've told you, no, for Democrats, that's pretty pretty standard to denigrate America and it's past and to view it as in its totality, in the aggregate and negative thing. It is common among a lot of progressives. Remember, this is also what what Obama was supposed to do for the left wing mind was to begin the healing of americ Aerica, the the change of America to a remember, the fundamental transformation of the country. That was what he promised. I'm not I'm

not putting words in his mouth. That was what President Obama said, the fundamental transformation of the country. Why would you want to fundamentally transform a thing that had been the greatest, freest, most prosperous, most benevolent ever. Wouldn't you just want to keep that going and the trajectory and the general direction it's already been going. Obama promised fundamental transformation, and Trump is in many ways a corrective to Obama is um which we are seeing now with the economist.

We're seeing with how prosperous things are. By the way, they hate the fact that this country is doing so well economical right now. They hate it because what does that say about Obama and all of his advisers. Oh they're all supposed to be so smart, right, Guthner and axel Rod and Jared and all these people around him. Oh they're all so brilliant. They know how to run an economy. No, they don't. The Obama administration didn't know how to run a lemonade stand when it came to economics,

when it came to free enterprise and entrepreneurship. They think that big established players are great because they donate to

They tend to donate to democrats. Right, Big government and big companies go hand and hand in hand big business, But they don't like the fact that the economy is doing so well, and Maria bar Aroma was making the case, I would note that we're an uncharted territory here because everyone's thinking, Wow, the economy feels really good, but also it feels like it might even get better Play eighteen.

And I think that's really the key, the resilience of it, because this rally that we've seen in stock prices is based on real fundamental It's based on earnest growth, economic growth. You know, for a time it was based on the fiddle reserve and cheap money because you know that the fiddle reserve basically went to zero and interest rates after the financial crisis. It was all on the Fed to take us out of the financial crisis in two thousand and seven. But it did. Rates were low, it helped

things come back. And then it was all about the corporate sector. Corporate sector, you mean, like a like a corporate tax cut, for example, could spur growth and investment, innovation and hiring. Oh my gosh, it's almost like the stuff that conservatives have been saying forever. It's almost like the GOP on some of these economic issues is based in what works, not in what what not? In what feels good to say, which is a very important difference you have with the with the Democrats on a whole

host of things. Trump, by the way, is not is not backing down. We're backing off when it comes to China and tariffs. You know he's he is taking on some of these tough problems economically, despite the fact that you know he's just they're coming at him from every direction and all this Russia collusion nonsense. Here here's what Trump had to say last night about China and terrorists. Play three. When China makes a car they held into the United States, there's two and a half percent tariff,

of which they don't pay, so they pay nothing. That it's a wonderful deal. When we make a car, we sell it into China and there's a tariff. And that's just the beginning. There's others. We are a country with unbelievable potential. We are a country that has been ripped off by everybody, and we're not going to be ripped off anymore. And if it takes me the little eggs to tell senators and Congressman and all of the people that really do have your your heart in their hands.

In many cases, sometimes I wonder where they're coming from with these suggestions. But it's going to have to take that little period of them with that big said, we're moving so fast nobody could even believe it, and every country wants to make a deal. Deals are getting made, folks. The economy is coming. Left hates it because Trump was

supposed to be a disaster. Remember it's not that they said he would just be coasting on what they're now calling the Obama economy, which is a pathetic rewrite of of reality and of history. But they said that he would be terrible. He would be a terrible steward of the economy. He would mess everything up for us. But then there's also the So there's the economy, which Trump and the Republicans are winning on right now, no question.

Now there's also immigration. These are the two main reasons why I think it's not a done deal for the Democrats in the mid terms. Yet it's not a done deal. I'm not saying it's not gonna be an uphill climb. First, the fact that Democrats transitioned so quickly from family separation at the border as an issue that they were just they were pounding that issue even after the administration conceded and said we'll do something to fix this. That kept

pounding it. You know, it's all about scoring political points. Even after the problem had what was being addressed. But even after that happened, they couldn't help themselves but to start calling for the abolition of ICE, which is just crazy. Play five. The new platform of the Democrat Party is to abolishize. A vote for any Democrat in November is a vote to eliminate immigration enforcement, throw open our borders, and set loose vicious predators and violent criminals. Well, many

Democrats are calling to abolish ice. Today, our brave vice officers successfully carried out a fourteen year old deportation order against a Nazi criminal who was living in New York. You know the way that was reported, folks. A Nazi prison guard, an actual Nazi prison guard, right, Not not somebody that voted Republican a couple of years ago. I mean a Nazi Nazi, Because they say everybody now who's are calling the left is calling everybody they don't like

a Nazi these days. I mean a a part of the Third Reich Nazi was living in New York and Trump and the administration sent him back to face justice in Germany. He was deported after seventy five years being in this country, and the media narrative on that one was Trump. You know, Trump uses this issue to pounce. Oh yes, Conservatives pounce one of the favorite ways of saying overreach that the Democrats have in their in their papers and on TV. And then there's the issue of

the wall. Play clip four. We're getting the wall bills going up. We're getting that bill, so we have three point two millions. We're looking for five billion this year, and all of a sudden it's gonna be finished and it's gonna be very, very effective. You heard about today with the illegal allien coming in very sadly for Mexico, and you saw what happened to that incredible, beautiful young woman. We've had a huge impact, but the laws are so bad.

The immigration laws are such a disgrace. We're getting them changed, but we have to get more Republicans. Let's hear what Democrats have to say about that terrible murder at the hands of an illegal alien in Iowa. I've got some

of that coming up for you. Stay with me. It's absolutely essential that you have a home security system that gives you peace of mind and that you feel like you're in full control of and you get great customer service as well as round the clock monitoring to make sure you, your family and all your stuff is safe. Simply Safe is the best bet for all of this, my friends. There's a reason that simply Safe has become

now valued at a billion dollars. I mean, this is a major company because they understand this business backwards and forwards, and they do a great job. I have a simply Safe system at home. It is so intuitive and user friendly. It takes minutes to set it up. Once you get going, you can download an app to your smartphone control everything, monitor everything remotely. And oh, by the way, if your WiFi goes down in your home, you're simply Safe, keeps working.

If your power goes out, You're simply Safe, keeps working. Monitor for fire, theft, water damage, gas, all kinds of protection for you, and no contracts. Simply Safe dot com slash buck again, simply Safe dot com slash buck. I want to get one last question here because it is a story, a very important story in the news that has to do with Molly Tibbots, the young woman in Iowa who was murdered. Her body believed to be found yesterday. A person has been charged with that. This person is

an undocumented immigrant. UM Mike Pence and the President have suggested the immigration laws need to be stronger so that people like this man who is accused of this murder, we're not in the country. Your reaction my I'm so sorry for the family here, and I know this is hard not only for the family, but for the people in her community, the people throughout Iowa all But one of the things we have to remember is we need an immigration system that is effective, that focuses on where

real problems are. UM. Last month, I went down to the border and I saw where children had been taken away from their mothers. I met with those mothers who had been lied to, who didn't know where their children were, who hadn't had a chance to talk to their children, and there was no plan for how they would be reunified with their children. I think we need immigration laws that focus on people who pose a real threat, and I don't think mamas and babies are the place that

we should be spending our resources. Separating a mama from a baby does not make this country safer. What a disgrace, Senator Elizabeth Warren is what a disgrace. I'm not surprised. But even though I expect just a degree of just disgusting commentary from her, even even though I would expect that she would pander and put politics above any common decency in her analysis of this, that was a particularly

going interview. I mean, I was taking just some notes there as as we play the audioce I can quote directly she said that she was so sorry, and then she wanted to talk about the community, and then she wanted to talk about Iowa. Fine, then the butt comes. But we need an effective immigration policy and we need to focus on quote, real problems and quote I'm pretty

sure that it gets that. It doesn't get any more real then a a wonderful young woman going for a job being murdered in her hometown and a part of the country that violence is a rarity. I'm pretty sure that that's as real as it can possibly get in the problem realm. That's not what Elizabe Warren thinks, of course, immediately wants to turnun and start talking about a different issue at the border. You see, this is what they do.

This is there? What about is hum This is when they can't defend something, so they want to talk about some other part of it. All Right, you and I can have a real discussion about immigration. Yes, if you cut back on immigration, are there some great people that aren't going to come into the country. Yes? Is that? Does that mean that you don't want to do it? Not necessarily? You might want to make that trade off. Right, Conservatives understand that there are tradeoffs in life, and we

are honest about that. Liberals live in this fantasy land of everything they think is amazing and there's no cost to it. I had Milania Trump's families immigration lawyer on my show earlier in the week, and I just not sick of all the talking points from him. So he's saying, you know, immigrants are amazing. Back all the you know, look at all the companies they found that all this stuff is okay, that's fine, But what about illegals. Oh,

we shouldn't call them illegal, call them undocumented. No, No, not playing that game. There are illegals. That's what the federal law calls them. That's what I will call them. They're in the country illegally. If you're going to call somebody a criminal for a campaign finance violation, for example, I think you should call somebody a criminal for being in the country when they are in violation of federal law every day they're in the country. But when I

asked him, why not ten million illegals? If illegals have no downside, If illegal aliens only bring great things to this country, doing the jobs Americans won't do, if they're better than us, why should we even have any caps or or any enforcement. They say, Oh, we're not open borders. You know, we're we're expelling people. We're we're ending people back. All right, Well, is that bad? Do we only send people back who are here illegally, who break the law

in addition to their illegal status. If that's the case, I'd like to know, Well, then why don't we just letting everybody who wants to come and unless you break the law, you get to stay. What is the breaking point, folks? What's too many? We're at eleven million illegals, they say, I think the number is much higher than that. I think the common sense tells you the number is much higher than that. But they won't even admit that there's

a possible downside to this. So how can we have an adult how can we have a serious discussion about it. The answers, I just I frankly don't know. I don't know. Um, that's not really their purpose though their purposes demagoguery. They're the ones that want to bring in, you know, the needy, the women and children, and take care of them and clothe them with with your money, by the way, with

you know, the taxpayer footing the bill as much as possible. Oh, I know, I hear that there they don't get welfare. That these are all half truths or mistruths or untruths. This is not this is not not reality. Um. But when Elizabeth war is faced with the reality of what happens when you have sanctuary city policies in place, when you have millions of illegal immigrants, the immigrants in the country, you will have situations where people are killed. And this

has happened thousands of times over the years. People are killed by illegal immigrants, and we're not allowed to think of that as a cost of illegal immigration. Why someone explains, if if we're we can look at what happens when our southern border is intentionally overwhelmed by people trying to find a way to come into the country that is not legal, but that exploits gray areas and loopholes, and to try to try to beat the system. That's what

they're trying to. The people that are showing that the border, claiming asylum, saying that they're come from they come from a country with there are too many gangs. That's that's beating this system. That's not really what we have in mind, and with asylum practice, that's not really what we have in mind with our refugee programs. But if we can look at what's going on there and say, okay, well we shouldn't separate families, and Elizabeth Warren's gonna demagogue that point.

What about the fact that Molly Tibbots has been separated from her family forever, not temporarily, not a few days, not a few weeks, forever, and she was brutally murdered. Is that a cost? Why is it we're only allowed to hear about the Valedictorian dreamers? This kid was a dreamer. I have a woman coming on my show tomorrow on On Rising who is a an angel mom and her son was viciously beaten to death and set on fire

by a dreamer. So you know they can either make a policy argument as far as I'm concerned that bringing people or allowing people to stay in the country abetting lawless this rewarding lawbreaking, that that's a good thing for us or right, or they can deal with the reality that for every story that they want to tell about somebody who's doing great stuff, who's a dreamer, it's completely

within the realm of of of acceptable discourse. It's an a necessary counterpoint even to say, well, what about the illegals are in the country who are part of m S thirteen and murder people and ruined communities, and what about that? What about them? They're a part of this whole process too. But there's a lack of any honesty from Democrats on this, as well as so many other issues these days. But I thought that was really that was even for Warren, that was pretty amazing. Real problems.

She says, we gotta focus on real problems. I doubt you would have said that if Ah, the tibbots Is were in the room. All I mean, although I don't know it's Lizbeth Warren. She is utterly shameless and just a pandering, complete phony, you know, very wealthy, very cushy, positions that she's maneuvered herself into by playing the game, doing whatever she has to do, and now she wants to play the social justice warrior and the one who cares so much about illegals. It's you know, I can

tell you this. Her kid doesn't go to a school that's overrun with English as a second language and lots of illegals everywhere. I'm just telling you that's I'm making a I don't even know if she has kids. I'm just guessing. But it's not her problem. It's not her problem, that much is for sure.

This is not working because the Republican Party has not stood up to this president, not once. So even if there is a guilty verdict from Mataford, even though Cohen has turned himself in the fact that he was even sworn in its president after the Access Hollywood tape, let me know for a fact that the Republican Party is actually not working on behalf of the American people.

They're working on behalf of Donald Trump, and he's been able to bully them into their silence. And I don't think that today changes much. Unfortunately, I'm sure we'll hear what he has to say about this at his his rally. The Fox News is talking about, you know, a girl in Iowa, and not this right, and tomorrow morning we know who wake up and tweet and sort of you know a girl in Iowa, she says, a girl in Iowa. Yeah, why why would why would they just talk about some

random girl in Iowa. Oh, that's right, that that MSNBC political analyst was referring to Molly Tibbitts. So this is where I am reminded folks once again that the left is not just delusional but also really unfeeling, really cold in how they approach their hashtag resistance to Trump. Right there, there's something deeply wrong with them. I'm on an emotional, on a psychological level where all that matters is attacking Trump.

All that matters is coming up with some way of humiliating this president or his advisors or people around him or who supported for supported him, and the basic human decency that we would all expect in a situation like this, when you have a girl who was brutally murdered by an i legal alien, you would expect that commentators would go on TV and at least be respectful to the situation. But they don't really feel that need, they don't really feel an obligation because for them, this is this is

all or nothing. If it takes down Trump, it must be good. If it is in any way, even in the short term, helpful through Trump or not not damaging enough to Trump, then it must indeed be bad. This is how they approach everything, you know. I'm I'm going to be going to a a book opening or book party for and Coulter later on this evening, and I was able to just thumb through her book. I have a copy of it here, and I think we're having an on radio tomorrow and she'll also be on Rising

so as really making the rounds right now. But the opening chapter in her book is is Trump is Worse? And she's obviously kidding. She's very funny. The opening chapter of book is called Trump is Worse than Hitler times Infinity. And it's a great opening the book because that's that's a pretty good description of the liberal mindset right now. Trump is the worst, most destructive human being ever, when in reality, the country's actually doing great. Uh. The economy

is is booming by any by any objective measure. It trust me, if the economy wasn't booming, you'd be hearing whatever thing wasn't going well, you'd hear about that constantly on TV, but also that the Trump is in many ways governing as a as a moderate, a moderate Republican at least he backs down when these Ninth Circuit judges come up with these completely cockamami rulings and decide that they're going to replace executive authority with their own whims

and for all of this that they still think that Trump is somehow worse than Hitler. Time's infinity to borrow from Ann You cannot reason with these people, You cannot find a way to to to catch some kind of a middle ground with them. They are on a mission. And it really does speak to how Trump has upended their sense of their own importance in their own virtue. You know, we often talk about virtue signaling here. It's

something that progressives do. They like to show each other and in their minds, the rest of the world, at least the world that matters how moral and good they are.

They really feel this need. I'm always of the mind that moral people just act morally and don't expect any praise or recognition for it, and don't feel the need to shout it from the of tops constantly or or on social media as the case maybe, but One of the things that Trump has done is he has, in a very public way and from a very powerful pulpit, challenge some of these concepts that liberals whole dear for

the purposes of virtue signaling. Right. Uh. They they really do believe themselves to be the party of of the smart people and the nice people and truth. Uh. And when Trump, for example, says that there beloved fake news is in fact fake, that really upsets them because they watch it every night thinking that in the in the feedback loop that is, uh, the left wing news cycle, and look conservative news too. See, let me just take

a little digression here. I'm not saying that there isn't conservative news and there's not a feedback cycle there too. But conservatives know what they are watching is coming from a center right perspective, except that what they're watching comes from center right perspective, and also understand that all the other stuff out there is left too far left. I don't watch uh you know, I don't watch a Fox News show and think to myself, well, like this is

exactly neutral. No, we're talking about the opinion shows. I'm watching conservatives who are on air, who are who share my values and are taking a similar point of view to me. Right liberals watch CNN, they watch Anderson Cooper and they think, this is just the truth, This is just what matters. This is just journalism delusional, but that is in fact what they that is in fact what

they think. And by Trump coming out and really making headway in this argument against them, and it's not just on that right, it's also on you know, it's also on the the legacy of obama Ism, which is a lot of social just this ideology wrapped into big government. You know that that whole approach to governance was bad for the economy, created a lot of misery and what

was really wrong. And people who supported that and felt so good about themselves for supporting it, don't like to see that this brash billionaire Donald Trump can come kind of busting in on the political scene and do a much better job than Obama, who was there their savior. So so they are angry at Trump because politics is deeply personal for progressives, because they view it as a means of enhancing their own personal brands all the time. And then also there's the issue of for the left,

politics as a religion. For the right, when we're when we're doing it properly when we're not getting ahead of ourselves, are getting uh, you know, jumping the shark. Politics is about a governing approach. Politics is about philosophy and what works best in society to order people on their rights and protect individual dignity. But it's not about this is

my only reason for being. And I think liberals need to take a long look in the mirror for why is it that for them, a challenge to their political beefs is like an existential challenge to their very core. Is Sweden going to the far right? Here's a story you probably won't hear getting much attention elsewhere, if any. Sweden often pointed to as what liberals aspire to for America. Right liberals here will say that they want democratic socialism

along the lines of what they have in Sweden. Sometimes I'll say Denmark or Norway, but Sweden tends to be number one on that list. But Sweden is not what

it used to be very uh troubling ways. It's not nearly as safe as it used to be based on the statistics, and it has brought in, as you probably have heard and read, many hundreds of thousands of refugees particularly from the Muslim world in the last couple of decades, and they're having an election coming up in Sweden, and the Swedish TV channel did a compilation of some stats and what they found is that sixty percent of the men I'm sorry, fifty eight percent, So just shy of

si fifty eight percent of men convicted of rape or attempted rape in Sweden. Now, keep on, this does not include reports of a rape where or someone was charged or where someone was charged and not convicted. So but but almost six of men convicted of rape or attempted rape over the last five years were foreigners. And of that population that you're talking about, almost all of it from the Middle and foreign born from the Middle East and North Africa and um South Asia, almost all of it.

Now you may be wondering, okay, buck well, to put this in a real context, what is the popular what is the percentage of Sweden? So so almost all of the foreign born convicted rapists are from Muslim majority countries. I'm just these are the statistics from Swedish TV. They're equivalent to BBC. I'm not I'm just going with what's with wright and writ and form. By the way, reported by the BBC. Okay, so this is you know, people can get all crazy with me and yell at me

for this, but this is the BBC compiling Swedish TV information. Uh, and let's call it. So, I don't think keep saying fifty percent, I know, keep going back and forth. Um, are are foreign born Muslims in Sweden that are that we're guilty, found guilty of rape And eight percent of

Sweden is Muslim overall. So the percentage of the population, and that's the entire Muslim population of Sweden, So the percentage of the population that is Muslim and and foreign born that would fall into this category of the last five years is even smaller than that. So let's call it. Roughly five percent or six percent of the population has been responsible for almost six of the rapes in this country of over about about fifteen million people, I think.

So you have to think of it also in the context that this is like the size of a pretty decent sized US state. You know, this is not a massive country like Germany or France in terms of population, and the total number of offenders are talking about here was about eight hundred and forty three, with a hundred and ninety seven from the Middle East and North Africa, forty five from Afghanistan. Um. These are people who were given refugee status, folks. Uh, these are refugees who then

go on to commit rapes. That's what is happening in Sweden, and that's what we're talking about here in these statistics. Now, there are two ways to approach this as a policy matter. The liberal way are meaning our liberals. I don't I can't speak to Swedish domestic politics, assume everybody is pretty much liberal, but the the liberal American approach to this kind of an issue would be to one. I guess there are a few ways they might too it. Actually,

there are few liberal ways. There's one conservative way, but they might try to just ignore it, which is what's going on in Sweden. I would note, until recently getting harder and harder for them to ignore this stuff. But they don't want to talk about it. They don't want this to become a part of public discourse. So that's

one option that they might go with. The Other one is to say, and this is this mirrors what goes on in this country with the immigration debate, and and uh, Molly Tibbitts's to say, Okay, well, maybe something really bad did happen because or bad things do happen because of either illegal immigrants or refugees or whatever. It may be illegal aliens, but it's not fair to the rest of them, meaning not fair to the rest of the illegals or the refugees or the non citizens of the country to

judge them all based on the actions of the few. Okay, that's I can that. That's an argument, that's a real position, a real good faith argument, I can. I can understand that. And then there's another way to go though. What if the citizens of a country say, we don't want a a dramatic increase in rapes in our country or or assaults in our country, no matter how many wonderful other people it brings in. So that is to say, you know you you you are not a bad person. If

you live in a town. And I saw one of my friends Brian's suits on radio actually made this point via Twitter. I thought was interesting. He says, if you live near a prison, right, and the prison is is, everything is fine with that prison, But once a year an inmate breaks out and hacks a family of four to death with an axe on on his way to breaking free, and you are upset because that one family of four each year, a new family of four gets

hacked to death by one. If the prison comes out here and says, well, you know it's only one a year, would that be okay? Would you be a bad person because in your community you would say, I don't want to suffer these casualties, even if they're not that many.

I want zero casualties. One would think that this, this could be a reasonable policy position, not based on a a problem with anyone's ethnicity or skin color, which is what of course this always turns into that discussion for the left, but just because you you don't want to be importing the problems of the third World into your country, which is what's going on in Europe with some pretty horrific effects in many cases, I don't all cases, not even a majority of cases, but enough cases that it

is forcing a shift in political discussion such that in Sweden right now, folks, the far right party in Sweden may actually win this upcoming election. Um this, you know, people are thinking that the migrant problem such as it is, may mean that the the far right, uh social Democrats party UH in Sweden may in fact be getting thirty

percent of the vote cheese more than double. This is the expectation for the upcoming Swedish parliamentary election, but which is on September nine, by the way, but that would be double more than double what they got before the migrant surge. Sweden, by the way, economically is doing well. Unemployment is low. It's people always say, it's ranked in one of the you know that, the happiest countries in the world to live. So why would you have this

swing toward the far right, which who knows? I mean, I need to look into what the far right even is like in Sweden. But it's just immigration, folks. So a country that's incredibly progressive, full of democratic socialists like Sweden, is surging to the right for one reason, one reason only,

in its immigration. And in this country we're told that if you have any qualms whatsoever about nearly unrestricted illegal immigration into the country or poorly restricted, you know, however they want to phrase it illegal mcra in the country, you're you're a bad person, You're a racist, you're xenophobe, all of these things. Meanwhile, the most progressive country on the planet is swinging to the right because they're dealing with these problems and they just don't want to deal

with them anymore. The government can tell everybody that's fine, but people know it's not fine, and they just don't want to deal with it. So as much as government can try to jam these progressive multiculturalist policies down the throats of the Swedish voter or the American voter, we all can come to our own conclusions about how much unrestricted immigration from the third World we really want. And in Sweden the answer is a lot of them don't

want any more of it. You need a little boost to help you get through the day, to help you push through that long afternoon or get things started early in the a m. You want to go with a veteran owned, operated and founded company that will give you all of that energy you need. Strike Force. Strike Force

at home or abroad. Sarah Michael Cohen under a putt is guilty to, among things, paying Stormy Daniel from Karen mctem could during the campaign, and he says he did it at the direction of the President of the United States. Did President Trump committed crime? As the President said, We've stated many times, he did nothing wrong. There are no charges against him, UM, and we've commented on this extensively. Then why not lookport these payments again. I'm not going

to get into the back and forth details. I can tell you, as the President has stated on numerous occasions, he did nothing wrong. There are no charges against him in this UH. And just because Michael Cohen made a plea deal. Doesn't mean that that implicates the president on anything. Here today is that the president has never lied to the American people, because so many people now look back at that tape of him on your Force LA and saying he knew nothing about these payments, when in fact

we now know he knew everything about these payments. So has he lied? Look again, I think that's a ridiculous accusation. The President in this matter has done nothing wrong and there are no charges against him, the president said Fox News. So I see journalists think of themselves now as the

truth police, the truth police. That's an interesting way for them to position themselves, especially after many many years of not just covering for the lines of politicians that they like I did not have sexual relations with that woman, but also engaging in all kinds of misdirection and deception

with regard to their own agenda. If you view modern journalism as leftist dominated and full of lies, and that means you're paying attention and you understand what's going on, then you have a very hard time hearing from all these people who work at news organizations where they will look you in the face and say we are not biased in any way. We are not pro democrat at CBS,

We are not pro democrat at CNN. We are not They really and on all these newspapers you know, you know, three d of them or whatever it was, right the same editorial and are all taken the same line. But they still think somehow they're they're you know, independent and just speaking truth to power, and that they still believe

their own line of crap. They really do. But if they're going to be the truth police, you know, there's some things, there's some questions that I want answers to, like, where was the truth police hammering the White House in every way they possibly could in the abdministration when we were told this whopper of a lie. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor under the reform proposals that we put forward. If you like your private health insurance plan, you can keep it. If you like

the plan you have, you can keep it. If you like the doctor you have, you can keep your doctor too. We will keep this promise to the American people. If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan period. If you like your doctor, you'll be able to keep your doctor. If you like your health care plan, you'll

be able to keep your health care plan. If you've got health insurance, you like your doctor, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor. You can keep your plan. If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Now I understand that this this is one when liberals start screaming what about is and what about is um?

But that lie, which those were all different instances every time you heard Obama saying that, those were different points when he was in public giving speeches with an adoring, fawning media all around him, and we were told that Obama was basically our our savior and that he was better than us too, that we weren't we weren't really, we weren't really up to up to par for what what Obama was bringing to this country, and he was really there to fix the faults of this country. That

was part of the narrative. But that lie really mattered to people because that was a specific issue in the Obamacare fight that they knew, they knew they would have had opposition in the Democrats would not have been able to get that bill through if people knew that they might lose their health care plan, that that could be a deal breaker. And so the decision to lie there,

and it was a lie. There was no way, and this was based on all of the the internal preparation research that they did, or rather that the different special interest groups who came together to write this bill for

the Democrats. Uh, they decided that this was the way it was gonna be, and they needed Obama out there to pitch this idea to make sure that the American people would at least enough of the American people would go along with it, that the Democrats would have some cover, and that they would jam through the largest entitlement program in in decades, which has as everyone knows, it's a disaster because they can't even let us deal with the

full weight of it. Uh, they keep delaying it, right, they keep on doing everything possible so that their constituents don't really have to deal with Obamacare. And that's not the only major lie. I mean that we also have this one who remembers This one is in fact what it began spontaneously in Benghazi as a reaction to what it transpired some hours earlier in Cairo, where, of course, as you know, uh, there was a violent protest outside

of our embassy, sparked by this hateful video. You know, just before I get into how that was such an obvious lie, and that Hillary, as we know from the email to her daughter when she was Secretary of State, knew it was a terrorist attack right away. Anybody who wasn't a complete moron in the government that was had any access whatsoever, knew this was a terrorist attack right away.

But they had to change the narrative because it was right before people are gonna cast votes, and Obama, who was so weak on foreign policy, such a a panderer to the rest of the globe. Obama was gonna had this whole story about how he had destroyed Al Qaeda. Know Bi Lan was dead, General Motors was alive. And then there's a terrorist attack on the anniversary of nine eleven that kills the U. S. Ambassador and three other brave Americans serving abroad. That's a bad look. So they

had to come up with something else. So it was just you know, protests and and that was a lie. They knew it was alive. And not only they know it was lie. But Candy Crowley, if you will recall at the debate when this came up with Mitt Romney and Barack Obama lied for Obama in a way that may have actually turned the election. I mean it definitely hurt Romney in a profound way, because Romney kicked Obama's butt in that first debate, just just took him to town,

I mean took him to school. The second debate, though, all of a sudden, Candy Crowley are he dared call it a terrorist attack. Candy Crowley comes in, of course to save Obama, and you know, there you have it. You know, you have Democrats lying on major things, journalists covering for them. And now I'm not saying that I don't think Trump ever has lied. Of course, I think

Trump has lied about things. I'm just saying I can't be made to care enough about Trump's lies to want to give up all of the winds and all the benefits for this country that we have had because he's president. They keep thinking, if they can get us to admit that he lied, then everything else will fall in place. For Okay, we shouldn't support Trump anymore. No, that's not how it works. That's not how any of this is gonna work. I've got a lot more teams, stay with me.

It didn't get nearly as much coverage for obvious reasons as some of the other big breaking stories in the last twenty four hours. But there's a pretty pretty rough indictment that got handed down. Um not rough asn't unfair, but rough as in, it's gonna be tough to if the facts are accurate in the indictment, tough to beat this one for corruption against California GOP Congressman Duncan Hunter. I've interviewed Congressman Hun before, and you know, I said

this today. I always felt like there was something, there was something that he just never was quite the the figure in in conservatism or in Republican politics that you would think a guy who's, you know, looks the part. He's a former marine, he you know, he has a good presence. What was going on there? I mean, look, maybe I just didn't know him well or and then this grand jury indictment comes down accusing him of filing

false campaign reports and wire fraud. And here is what we find out about the allegations, at least against the San Diego based Congressman San Diego such a great place. I'd love to be a San Diego based anything, I think. But so here here's what. Here's the sum of the stuff that came out of this twofo dollars they say worth a campaign to pay personal expenses. The Hunters, the husband and wife. By the way, Duncan Hunter and his wife are both caught up in this. They are both

being criminally charged. The Hunters allegedly overdrew their joint checking account more than eleven hundred times during a seven year period, leaning to more than thirty seven thousand dollars in overdraft charges. This is all according to the indictment uh and as as reported on Politico, their credit cards were also maxed out,

leading to twenty four thousand dollars in additional charges. You know, folks, you probably don't need me to tell you this, but one thing that I am absolutely sure of, and everybody that I've ever talked to who knows anything is sure about the first thing you do when you have money. The first thing you do when you have any money that you don't need for immediate expenses is payoff credit card bills. I don't care how good an investor you are, you're not making twenty a year uh, year in and

year out with your investments. So if you have any spare cash and you have credit card debt, pay off your credit card debt. I've I've had to have this conversation with with some friends of mine who were shocked when I explained to them what an APR actually means and how credit card companies really make their money. They make their money by turning you into an indentured servant of sorts that's just trying to pay off the debt.

But you're never really going to get out of the debt unless you managed to save and get ahead of the monthly payments anyway. So this is almost like reading about somebody. Duncan Hunter and his wife sounds like people who would have been at the racetrack and, you know, spending their last dime because they've got the you know, they've got the good number or whatever. You know, they know what's gonna happen next. And that's all bad enough

when just the numbers are bad. But what's really gonna make this a a tough case for Duncan Hunter, and also just the reputational damage is that in some of the instances there were really egregious case is the most degree, just the one that everyone's pointing to, is that he wanted to buy some golf clothing and told his treasurer that it was golf balls for some wounded warriors, but it was actually golf clothing for him, according to the indictment,

and es Stantil proven guilty. We have to see. But once you start pretending to do charitable stuff, if you were doing charitable stuff or pretending to do charital stuff for veterans and it was in fact a lie, the jury will you will have no sympathy from that jury. The jury will not be even a little bit. Uh. I think at least willing to hear about how you know, we're all flawed and you know nobody was you know,

nobody was really injured here anything. Let's not get And I don't think Duncan Hunter is gonna go away for that long. It's not that much money. And again he's gonna maybe he's gonna defend himself. I don't know if

he's gonna take a plea or not. But it also just reminds me that I think there's a there's a ad trend in American politics right now where people view being a public servant, particularly being an elected official, as not just a pathway to UH prominence and fame and prestige and all that stuff, but also as a pathway to great wealth and really really an entitlement to great wealth. Essentially, if you are you know, a member of Congress, a senator,

or somebody who's cabin official. This there's this sense of, well, I should be able to have the kind of money that all these people that I'm interacting with, you know, the donors and the people at my fundraisers, and and I think that a lot of a lot of our elected officials they fall into this trap because you know, you don't and a lot of you're gonna say, buck Congress and make a lot of money. Well, you've got to maintain two residences, you know, one in dec basically

and one in your home district. You you know, you gotta pay DC taxes. It's it's actually not a lot of money, you know, a lot I think congressmen are making about now. Everything is relative, folks. Right my first year out of out of school, I was making in the thirties. Um, so I know that it's not easy to and I'm you know, paying all your bills on

that is not easy wherever you are. UM anyway, Congressmen, I think make about a hundred and fifty k. But if you want to have two homes and have a few kids, and maybe want to send one of them or two of them to private school, you know that you're gonna run through that a hundred and fifty grand very quickly. And that's where or maybe it's a hundred and seventy I forget something like that. That's where I

think some of these politicians get into trouble. They have power, but not necessarily wealth, and they and they just can't help but feel that that power should entitle them to wealth. And clearly Hillary Clinton hollow is the best example of this, uh in many ways the most egregious example of this, and the fact that she has faced not only no charges for her massive scheme of self enrichment, but also that she hasn't really even been investigated. I know, this

is what about is M Why are you doing? What about is UM? But I think we're also all subjected to a misperception of the wealth of other people. You know, I think we all are in this place where we will will look on social media. We see things on Facebook or on Instagram. If you're on Instagram, and everyone's just showing this life where they're always out to these incredible meals. They're always on vacation. And I like to tell folks this life is actually tough. Life is struggling

to pay your bills. Life is worrying about where you know. People ask me, Buck, why do you why have you moved so much? It's not because I like moving because I don't have the money to stay in the apartment that I was living in. Because I've lived in two very expensive cities for my entire adult life. So when they raised the rent, I gotta move. That's stressful, you know, every time you deal with that. I mean, I've moved

probably ten times in my adult life. Think about that, ten different I've had at least at least ten different homes, nothing about it and never owning anything. Just moving around. Life is that. It's paning credit cards, it's dealing with movers. It's having a boss or a colleague who is berating you without cause and doesn't appreciate you. It's uh, you know, it's a spouse or a significant other getting sick and leaning on you. And you having to you know, that's life.

And I think that we all get this idea that life is just traveling from you know, uh one and one incredible beach vacation to an incredible ski vacation too, you know, the to a a winery somewhere, and because that's the life that everyone wants to present about them. So if not, look, some people just like to share they're happy stuff with their friends. And I'm not saying it's not always about you know, conspicuous social media sharing for its own sake. I think some people do just

want to celebrate with their friends. This is what I did, and this is kind of fun, Like everyone does. You know, I go to a wedding, I'll take a photo, right, I mean, this is what we're all doing. But we need to keep that in context. No one, no one shares photos of themselves when they've had food poisoning for two days and they look like they're gonna keel over, and they're in the office and they're being told they're not doing a good enough job and they just got dumped,

and you know, that's life. That's been life for me. I've had to do this show with all of those things. That have happened, right, I mean, you know this is

not recently. Don't worry well again, knock on wood. But I I do think that there's this there's a perception now that maybe is influencing the thinking of particularly the some of these this younger generation of politicians, Republican and Democrat, who feel like they should be liveing this instagram worthy life, and they really don't think of public service as serving

the public. They think of it as serving themselves. And from what we see in this report, if it's true, then I think you'd have to agree that Duncan Hunter is in that category. And that's a shame. That's a shame. He service country honorably, hears a marine and now it looks like he's gonna serve some time in prison for being a corrupt public official if the allegations are true.

Got more coming up, Teams, Stay with me. You know, rarely do I see something and I think to myself, man, that looks like a terrible idea or I'm not gonna like that, And I'm surprised. You might say that's the curmudgeon in me. You might think that, well, Buck, of course you think that because you do like to yell at young uns which to use people under the age of you know, from twenty to thirty. I guess, uh, to get off your lawn. But I saw this phenomenon in the streets of d C. Probably a few of

you have this in your own towns. I know my l A listeners know exactly what I'm talking about. High five l A. I'll be out in l A by the way in a few days for some some business. Electric scooters. Now you may think buck is an electric scooter or something that my grandma rolls around and it goes like and you know, you sit on it, and I think that's technically called a rascal, But yes, that

is a form of electronic scooter. But what I'm talking about our actual scooters, like what used to play on when you were a kid, you know, and you sort of one leg on one leg you're using to kick at the ground and it makes you go and you yeah, you know what I'm talking about. And I as a kid, I remember my parents got me a scooter. I think it was called the Black Widow, which I don't know why I remember that, but I do. But it was

like an all black scooter. And I thought when I was ten years old or eight years old or whatever that that was the coolest thing ever. But I had to actually peddle that myself or whatever you call it. When you kick your leg and you scoot her along. In d C. As a pilot program, they've started this electric scooter stuff where you it's like Uber, so you have an app. The app tells you where the scooter is and then you go. You you just click in with your the app. Essentially you take a photo of

the of the thing. I'm really not good at explaining this, but you it's a little bar you know how they scan barcode. There you go, you take a photo of the bar code and you hop on and this thing goes about fifteen miles an hour. And it's not that I care about this, but it's completely green, so it's all it's all considered green transport, so yave the environment or whatever. But you go about fifteen miles an hour and it allows you to really just get around the

city with tremendous ease. It's incredible. I mean, I look like such a dork, and I admit this. I accept that I look like a huge nerd and that someone from one of like the rival left wing publications out there, who maybe recognizes me from Fox or something like that, is going to take a photo of me and mock me relentlessly, and I will deserve it for riding around on this nerdy electric scooter. But I love these things. They are so fun and I feel like, you know, yeah,

it brings out the kid in me. What can I say, but you go, you know, you get to go all of all of the city and this little scooter. And the great thing is, unlike a bike, you have full control. So when I get too close to somebody or some maniac you know, comes flying out of the out of the doorway and isn't looking at what they're doing, you just can basically hit the brake and step off and you're totally stable. So I think it's a lot safer

knock on wood. Of course, then bicycle riding around the city, which I've always thought was just because people ride around on bicycles are crazy, right. A lot of them go way too fast, they can't control the bikes. People have been killed in New York City because they've been hit by bicyclists. So bicycles, I find, and there's also kind of a militant attitude that bicyclists have about the bike lane and everything. Uh, the scooter people, I'm not sure

I'm a scooter person yet, but I'm getting close. The electric scooter people can also use the bike lanes, but we can do the street as well, And a lot of them go up on the sidewalk, but that's a no no unless you're running really late, and then you know, life's tough. But these things are so fun and it just makes me think, how, you know, what we consider the future of how we get around and where we live and and commuting and all this, it's going to

be so different in ten or fifteen years. Either there will be autonomous driving pretty soon, and flying cars I think is probably thirty or forty years off. I know people say they're five to ten years off, but I think it's more like thirty years off before they're really happening. But these electric scooters, I'm telling you, and you can plug them into the wall all so you don't have to worry about you know, how how do I recharge

my electric scooter? You just plug it in. So it's just it's like an electronic appliance essentially that can get you too, and from work in fifteen miles an hour. It's just fast enough that you're really moving along. It's essentially as fast as most people would be able to to, you know, to run or sprint over um maybe a quarter a mile or so. I don't know. I don't know how fast that really is. But it's a lot

of fun. And you know, I might have to take a photo of myself just for the team, because I know you guys won't share anywhere, and I know you won't make fun of me a lot if you see me, uh, you know, riding around d C on it on an electric scooter. That is nice to the environment, clean energy and all that. But I live just far enough away from the office as well that it can be because I have to go back and forth throughout the day. This is a game changer, folks. It's really fun. I

love it. The company is called Bird and there's another one called LimeBike. Those are the two that are in d C right now. They're rolling this out pun intended as a program in different cities across the country. D C is one of the places, but in at Los

Angeles right now. The main place for this, the mecca of electric electric scooter riding is Venice and Venice Beach in Santa Monica, where apparently there's some ill will toward the scooter nerds from the general public because they leave their scooters everywhere and they zip around, they knock people over and stuff. Um and I'm just realizing now you're all gonna make fun of me a lot for this. But you know what, it's okay because I have no

secrets from the team. I like to tell you what's going on and the you you can say I'm a giant dork. I understand, you can say that I'm a geek. But once you stand up one of these electronic scooters and or electric scooter and it gets you from your home to the you know, to the grocery store, the barbershop or whatever, and you don't break a sweat in the dead of summer, and it's you get there in

as fast basically as if you took a car. If it's in the city, if it's you can't go on highways and and stuff with him, they go fifteen miles. But once you've done it, I'm telling you're gonna say, wow, that's kind of fun. Now it's just a function of how do you make this look cool? And I don't know. I don't think that putting little fins and maybe a flame decal on the side of my electric scooter would do it. So I'm open any ideas, folks. How do

I make team buck? How do I make myself look cool while I'm coming into the Freedom Hut on my borrowed share app electric scooter. I pose that question to you before roll call. The show ain't over yet, folks, It's time for roll call. Alrighty, roll call man. I got a little I love roll call back, get a little sad because it's the end of the show and shows the best part of the day every day, folks, especially right now where it feels like I am just a man alone in the swamp ump. You know, I

I don't work at a at a conservative place. It's a it's a newspaper. It's both sides. But I you know, I'm not surrounded by conservatives in the office. And then I leave the office and I am surrounded by angry, raging liberals. So that's not fun. And the culture here in d C is very anti Trump and very liberal, so you know, it does feel weirdly isolating when I get to talk to you. It feels like dispatches from

deep behind liberal lines. That's really you know, this is when I get to It's like I'm on a ham radio and I'm talking to my my fellow members of Well. I was going to say the resistance, but that's already been taken by a bunch of progressive whimps. But some other cool secret society of the of the Defense of the Republic or something, that's what this really feels like. Okay, I'll stop labbing roll roll call, Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton, Kelly is up first, love your chromo impression.

Did you ever see any of the coverage of CNN from election night? I wish I had saved the recording, but it has to be out there somewhere for you to find. I was a pregnant insomniac at the time and watch everything on multiple channels through the middle of the night. Just as they started to realize Hillary's going to lose the wheels started coming off. Chris Cuomo did an analysis and said, if we're gonna win, we need

to hang onto these states. And then he quickly realized what he said and tried to correct himself by saying, I mean Hillary, if she's going to win. He barely looked at the camera until they went to commercial a few minutes later. Hilarious. Never watched CNN again after that. You should add Christie your arsenal of impressions. He is quite worthy. But seriously, I appreciate your show and listen to you a podcast as a military spouse. I'm also

grateful for your support of the arms services. Thank you for all you do well, Kellie, thank you for your support of the show, and also please thank your your spouse, your husband for uh his service to the country. So thank you very much for that. And I have a governor him impression Bro Cuomo. We have a name for him, a nickname, that's the other Cuomo. But I can't say that I have a an impression for him because he's not that interesting. There's not enough about him too, He's

not interesting enough to mock. Well, I guess that's what I'm trying to say. But thank you so much for your kind note, Maria writes, Trained to Boussan is excellent. It received a rare on Rotten Tomatoes. Outstanding effects, good but predictable storyline, and characters you'll fall in love with not to mention zombie zombies zombies. Well, that is quite a recommendation, Maria. I'll see if MS Molly wants to

watch it with me this weekend. We're thinking about picking out a movie together, so Trained to Boussan sounds like it. I don't know. Ms Molly gets a little scared by the scary movies. So and I'm not gonna say I do, but I'm not gonna say I don't. I do like a good zombie flick though, Cornelia Rights Rising is my favorite morning show, but it would be able to It would be nice to be able to watch the whole show, uh without ads as one video instead of the clip format.

I keep having to remaximize my video so I can watch it full screen. However, despite this issue, I'm an avid viewer, So keep up the good work with Crystal, and you're excellent reporting Shields High Well, Cornelia, thank you. It's nice to have somebody who likes the show right in because some of you have been There's been a lot of helpful critiques of the show so far, so I'm glad that there's also some folks who usually around the politics of not me, but I do appreciate you

guys writing in no matter what you think about the show. Um, and we're we're working on it and fine tuning it all the time. Kyle writes Buck, listening to your discussion about the left abuse of the word fascist while extolling the virtues of democratic socialism, I think it's always important to note that the proper term for the Nazi Party was the National Socialist German Workers Party, and that an

achieved power initially through a democratic process. If calling it democratic socialism is supposed to make it sound like a cuddly ideology, I wonder what progressives would think about the term democratic national socialism. Hey, it's democratic, so it has to be good, right. Well, you know, Kyle, this is kind of a and add on to what when people joke around about like the People's Republic of North Korea. You know, it's sorry, the People's Democratic Republic of North Korea.

I left one out there. The People's Democratic Democratic Republic of North grew. The DPRK is neither democratic, nor republic, nor of the people. So you know, the more you have to say it in your name, sometimes the less true it is. Uh. And that's to your point about socialism yes, and the National Socialists, uh, that is National

Socialist German Workers Party, the Nazis. They will always say that the same way the Democrats will just proclaim that the Democratic Party of to A is so different from the Democratic Party of before. They'll say the same thing about socialists, that the National Socialists were not really socialists. And this is an argument because they don't want that

history at their feet. I'm wondering, by the way, when when we all agree that all statues of anybody who is a socialist would also come down Given the history of socialism, of enslaving people vias government control, and the tyranny, murder and oppression of millions done in the name of socialism, you know, you would think that that might also be a part of this historical revisionism that we're all going through now, or rather historical revisiting that we're all going through.

But nonetheless, uh, we have aries. You're right, you're all wrong. Thanks, aries. I can always count on areas to keep it one. You're all wrong. Zombie Land is the best zombie movie of all time. By the way, if Trump gets pushed out of office, at the very least, I'm checking out John Galt style. I will, although I suspect many will go Ragnar Donna scold, Nice Atlas shrug, reference aries, and it was always my friend. Good good to hear from you, uh Tate writes in buck Love the show you demand,

Please help us understand the media is madness. It is truly depressing to watch how giddy they are about this Cohen case. It seems they cannot wait to scream to the rooftops. I told you so. I'm beside myself with grief. I think I may have leave Trump alone derangement syndrome. So there's that from Matt Uh. You know, buddy, It's all gonna be okay, it really is. It's it. They've never managed to stop Trump before. They're not gonna stop him this time around. I'm telling you it's all gonna be.

It's all gonna be just fine. Um. I I still have a lot of faith here, even though look there's some bad stuff going on. They they really think they've got Trump in a corner, but nobody puts Trump in a corner. Rob writes in Listen to your podcast, you made a comment about how New Yorkers read more books than people from uh from l A. You showed your true colors, Buck Elitism. It was a joke, man, It

was a little l a New York trash talk. Gosh, Rob, don't take things so seriously, buddy, you know, just because California has, uh, you know, better weather and more beautiful people, and you know the ocean, and you know New York. Hey, we got brighton beach and hot dogs and and really good pizza, although they ever look at pizza in l A now too. It's just a little a little bit of trash talk. You know. It's like when I say things about New Jersey. You know, I love New Jersey.
