Spies, Lies & Slander

buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, You're a great American Again The buck Sexton Show begins. Thomas Seas, He's a great guy. This no really lost sleep last night after watching over and over again the testimony of the Attorney

General of the United States. How sad it is, How sad it is for us to see the top law enforcement officer in our country misrepresenting withholding the truth from the Congress of the United States. He lied to Congress. He lied to Congress, and anybody else did that, it would be considered a crime. Nobody is above the law, not the President of the United States and not the Attorney General. Being the attorney general does not give you a bath to go say whatever you want. And it

is the fact because you are the attorney general. It just isn't true. There's a process involved here, and as I said, the Committee will act upon how we will proceed. Well him to the Buck Sexton show, Bar up on Capitol Hill day two, actually didn't show up for it, but they wanted him to. Nancy Pelosi is a disgrace. She's a dishonorable person. She's a liar, she's a snake. She is not somebody that anybody should have to take

seriously or listen to. But she's the best the Democrats have got, I suppose, so we're supposed to show her all kinds of respect. Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi saying that Barr lied. You'll notice she doesn't say what he lied about. Why can't we know, Nancy? How did he lie? What's the lie? Should he go to prison? Now? The Attorney General, Bob Barr, I'm sorry I keep doing that Bill Barr. Bob bar is a different guy. Bill

Barr crushed, intellectually, ethically crushed the Democrats yesterday. I mean, he was laying waste to their pathetic partisan jabs. He was just swatting them aside, like the spoiled whiny children the Democrats in Congress are. And now today they've continued with this effort, this widespread campaign of defamation against him, and it is just completely and utterly unacceptable. What they're trying to do to bar is what they've tried to do to so many other people that they don't agree

with politically, and that is destroy them. Don't win the American people to your side, don't make your best case and let the chips fall where they may destroy your competition. Lie about them, slander them, spy on them. Oh, we'll get to that. We'll get to what happened with George Poppadopolis New York Times Big story today. Remember how I had George on last week for an hour. There's a

reason for that, folks. The reason we walk through all of George Papadopoulos's story here on the show because the Inspector General port that's going to come out in the next sixty days is going to rock the Democrat Party

to its foundations. They're gonna say it's not a big deal, but to anyone with an IQ above single digits, it will be obvious what happened, which is that the Democrat Party, the Deep State apparatus, the Hillary Clinton campaign, we're all in cahoots to run a conspiracy theory through the intelligence community. And it all got started because a few Hillary partisans in the deep state in the federal government decided to spy on a presidential campaign. That is what they did. Well,

we'll get into the specifics of it. They're not going to run from the truth forever. And there's a little bit of the hist sterea right now that I think you can attribute to the fact that they know that they're not going to be able to continue with this. They know they're not going to be able to evade

accountability forever. And while unfortunately a good portion of America is so brainwashed by democratic propaganda, has become so incapable of independent thought because of the cultural lock that the left has on the minds of the coasts, in particular, that it won't matter what comes out. It won't matter if we have struck in an email over the FBI saying whatever we have to do to take down Trump,

that's what we're going to do. They don't. He's already essentially said that it doesn't even matter at this point. They'll just say, well, the FBI was really worried, so we shouldn't we shouldn't second guess them. Meanwhile, the Democrats second guest law enforcement all the time. Just now the FBI is beyond reproach. Isn't that convenient? Isn't isn't that all of a sudden, very very helpful to their purposes.

But I want to let me let me pause on that Papadoppolo story for a moment to get back to what Nancy Pelosi has done here. Nancy Pelosi is sliming and she knows she I mean, she's a liar. I mean, Nancy Pelosi is a so called Catholic who is an abortion extremist as a politician at the national level, and should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church. Maybe that's a conversation we could have another day. That's right, she should be. But Nancy Pelosi is out there saying that he lied

and is essentially calling Bar a criminal. That's what happens when you're when you're able to dismantle deftly and skillfully the arguments of your political opponents the way that Barr did. And now you could say buck, but he's not. They're not supposed to be political opposition. They make themselves the political opposition because an attorney general in the Trump administration who does not give the left what they want, which is either throw the Trump administration under the bus or

stand aside while someone else does it. That's that's the Jeff Sessions routine. Allow yourself to get bullied into not doing what you need to do to defend the rule of law, never mind to defend the president. You know, with all the things that are going on now, with all the things that are happening, you would think you would think that Democrats would it would at least make

some effort at something other than sliming and undermining. And you know, they do something, they take some action at, if not self reflection, at least you know, give some credit where its due. These people are crazy. They're saying that bars involved in a cover up. He's involved in the opposite of a cover up. He released as much of the report as he possibly theoretically could. He could

have kept the whole thing under wraps. They're accusing him of a cover up because he released a summary that accurately described the end results of the investigation, and yet now they're saying that he's the bad guy. Now they're saying that, you know, he's somebody who shouldn't even have a law license. Maybe he should go to prison. This is insane. The Democrats have lost it. They have absolutely lost it. And Nancy Pelosi is just symptomatic of this.

I mean, she's leading the charge right now saying that he's a liar, saying that maybe he should go to prison. Bars a top legal mind, a top legal mind, an ethical goody. But the Democrats, their ferocity when it comes to hatred of Trump just blinds them to everything else. These are the people that have been lecturing us for two years about undermining our institutions, the sanctity of our democracy, blah blah blah, fbi DJ, we need to have public

faith in these institutions. And then you've got an Attorney general that's being called this effectively a criminal. They're saying that he's too chicken to stand in front of Connor. He's set with Congress for six hours yesterday, just hearing stupid, stupid question after stupid question from Demo really speeches, I mean, typified by Maizie Herono, not just one of the dumbest people in Congress, one of the dumbest people that I've heard say anything in a very long time. But we're

supposed to take them seriously. Now we think that they're they're the guardians of the Republic. They're the ones that are looking for the truth here, looking for and we've skipped way past Russia collusion, we've skipped way past you know, the president's a trade or now it's now it's bar that's on the hot seat for them. Now he's the one that must be destroyed. It's not about making their case, it's not about their position or what they'd like. The

American people who know it's let's ruin this person. That is what they do, search and destroy missions for anyone who stands in the way of their power. And Pelosi should be ashamed of herself, ashamed of herself. And this is just pathetic, these arguments that I'm seeing from Democrats in the media and on Capitol Hill that Barr is, you know, he's doing the president's bidding and all this. He's acting like the President's lawyer. He's just answering their questions,

giving them his legal opinions. He's released the full report. They're so stupid and crazy that they think that they're gonna they're gonna be able to cling to this narrative that the guy who's showing them everything is somehow hiding things. And this is after the Trump administration gave unbelievable cooperation in this Muller probe. We know Muller was a partisan out to get Trump from day one, and there's no there's no serious person things otherwise. Now, the way he

handled this investigation at the end just shows us. This the leak of the letter right before bar goes on Capitol Hill. I mean, this is proof. This is all the proof that we need. It's all the proof that a normal person trying to think through these issues would need. But remember what we've been saying here, Remember a recurring theme here on the Buck Sexton Show. Trump broke them. He has broken psychologically, emotionally, dare I say spiritually? He

has broken the Democrats. They don't know what to do with themselves now. They're not as as as smart and beloved by the American people and wise, and the march of their ideas will not go forth without any opposition. That's not reality and they can't handle it. They assured themselves he would never be president, and then they assured themselves they could end his presidency. And now they realize they probably can't even stop four more years of his presidency,

and they're panicking. They're panicking. They've destroyed whatever credibility they have as public servants. I don't even like to use the term, but they've destroyed whatever integrity they're supposed to show in their elected offices. The media has be clowned and debased itself in this whole Russia collusion mess, the tortured legal analysis. You hear from people about obstruction, This isn't that hard, folks. If he obstructed, he would have

had to obstruct. He didn't obstruct anything. People who say otherwise don't know what the heck they're talking about. We'll get into some of bars analysis of this too, and then you know, there's this assault on bar today, and then I want to move to, Oh, there's the Papadopolis story in New York Times today. They are trying this is a leak. This is a leak from somebody who is trying to help the left wing media get ahead of what is going to be a very damaging Inspector

General port in the FBR. That's going to show that the fix was in that, the real malfeasance, the real wrongdoing here wasn't Trump and Trump's people. It was though, It was those individuals who were trying to stop Trump and trying to take him down once he had won the presidency. That's where we are, and you want to talk about things. They're going to really rattle the cages of the left. I don't know how they're going to

handle that once that truth gets out. They're gonna try to come up with any number of different ways to justify it, to spin it, but it won't work because the facts are what they are. More on this team and a whole lot more coming up. Stay with me. In the situation of the president, who has constitutional authority superhetings, if in fact a proceeding was not well founded, if it was a groundless proceeding, if it was based on false allegations, the president does not have to sit there

constitutionally and allow it to run its course. The president could terminate that proceeding and it would not be a corrupt intent because he was being falsely accused, and he would be worried about the impact on his administration. That's important because most of the obstruction claims that are being made here or episodes do involve the exercise of the president's constitutional authority, and we now know that he was

being falsely accused. Boom Barr takes the Democrats to the woodshed gives him a spanking, just to be clear on

what he said there. This is the Attorney General who was formerly in the Office of Legal Counsel the DJ also formally the Attorney General before this time around, a guy who knows the stuff backwards and forwards, saying that the president of the United States exercising his constitutional authority if he did which he did not even do in this case, but if he did exercise constitutional authority as president who shut down an investigation that was based on

a false allegation, which is what the investigation did find and is the truth that is not by its very nature by definition, that is not corrupt intent, that is actually doing the country a service. So all this stuff that you know Muller has about, you know, the process, the process, the ten different things here and there he said this, He said that doesn't matter, doesn't even matter.

I mean, there are multiple layers of defense. You want to know why Bob Muller didn't say it bring charges, Because Bob Mueller always wanted this to just be a political fight on Capitol Hill. He wanted this to turn in to an impeachment, an impeachment blueprint, which is exactly what he handed the Democrats on Capitol Hill. That's what this Stat's where this was all about. All along. There was nothing stopping him, stopping Mueller from saying that the

president should be charged. He did not say if he said the president should be charged, he would have had to pick a specific instance, wouldn't he He'd have to say, he's going to be charged for this thing? What's he going to pick? Folks? He lays out all these ten things that are meant to really just be OPO research, meant to look bad for the president. But nothing, nothing he can point to that is a true action, that is a decision that the President of the United States

made that could reasonably be described as obstruction. Which one of the ten would it be? Mueller? Which one would you pick? The time where he said maybe we should do this thing and then didn't do it, The time when he said I think I'm gonna shut down the investigation and didn't do it. That's obstruction. Now, Mueller didn't have the goods. He didn't have the goods because the president didn't commit a crime. The president sat back and

allowed this process to play out. Barr shared the memo with all these different not just all of the members of Congress, with the American people, and now they're just saying whatever they want to say. The Democrats are coming out of them with all this just crazy nonsense because they can't handle it. They've lost. It's over the Democrats. They lost on this one. And I'm at a point now where I just want to say, you know what, bring it. You know, be a man and woman whatever.

Democrats have the courage, your convictions, impeach this president. Bring it. Let's see what you got. They're not. They're not even honest enough about how they feel and courageous enough about their positions that they will impeach as president right now. The only thing that holds them back is they wonder if it's going to blow back on them, so they want to keep talking about it because they view it as negative for the presidents, just to keep it alive,

keep talking about it. No, no, no, this is about defending our republic, right, this is about saving the country from Trump. Impeach the president. Democrats, Let's see what you got. Put your cards on the table. Why won't you? I thought you were going to save the country, Democrats. I thought this was all about America and the Republican and our democracy. Oh, it's really just about petty partisan politics. No one is shocked by that. The Democrats are a disgrace.

He's holding the line for America, buck Sexton his back. I guess they want to treat him differently than they have anybody else. And for many, many years they've never done it this way where they're bringing

in outside council or something. Then that's not the way, you know, if you elect people that's supposed to be able to do their own talking. But he did a fantastic job today. I'm told I got to see some of it. He did a fantastic job. And it's all a big hoax, this whole thing with Russia. It turned out there is no collusion, there is no obstruction. So you have Bill bar highly respected, great attorney general, and he's got to take the abuse from people that are

running for office. They don't care about this. They're just looking for political points. And I really think that the American people see through it. I hope the American people see through it. It is a circus. Democrats are a joke, not a very funny one, but a joke. The problem today was that they wanted to have outside council. They want to bring in lawyers outside to question the attorney general. Now why would they do that, You may ask, why

would they want to bring it? These are mostly lawyers themselves, So start with that. Most of the members of Congress that are on this committee are are lawyers. Not very good ones, but they're lawyers. Why they want to bring somebody else in? Oh, that's right, because it creates a perception. This is all about the optics, all about the way this looks to the outside world. Creates a perception that

bar is almost a defendant in a criminal trial. You're going to bring people in that are going to cross examine the witness or in this case, they defendant. That's what they want. It's too obvious when you have the likes of Maisie Horrono engaged in grand standing in buffoonery. It's too obvious. But we know what she's all about. It's trying to get some points with their left wing base.

But you bring in today in the in the House and the House side of the equation, you bring in some outside lawyers, and it looks like, ooh, what are these lawyers are really having to push the Attorney general? Why is the Attorney general so defensive when being asked by these professional lawyers who are not politicians? That's all, this is all. They're playing games, folks, They're playing games. And you've got Nadler, who you know, this guy, there's

there's snakes. These people are not men and women of honor. These democrats have no integrity, no decency in the way they're conducting themselves. Nadler said this about how bar look. But the Attorney General United States is not gonna sit there and be cross examined by a bunch of outside lawyers.

After sitting for six hours yesterday with members of the Senate committee, now he's gonna sit with members of the House committees, and not even them, He's gonna sit with lawyers that they bring in hired guns from the outside. What is this? What's next? They're gonna make Bar sit in a dunk tank, and they're gonna, you know, they're gonna they're gonna throw tomatoes and see if they gonna make them fall in the water. But no, this is what Nadler says, play for, I will now recognize myself

for an opening statement. Attorney General Barr has informed us that he will not appear today, although we worked to accommodate his concerns. He objects to the prospect of answering questions by staff counsel and to the possibility that we may go into executive session to discuss certain sensitive topics. Given the Attorney General's lack of candor before other Congressional committees, I believe my colleagues and I were right to insist

on the extended questioning. But even if Democrats and Republicans disagree on the format of this hearing, we must come together to protect the integrity of this chamber. The administration may not dictate the terms of a hearing in this hearing room. The challenge we face is bigger than a single witness. Bigger than a single witness. He says, huh.

Just by way of reminder, you know what what was yesterday's hearing like just just here, here's a here's a quick you know, today they're all upset because, oh, you know, Barr is not. All he does is answer questions. He's had full transparency with the Muller Report. He's put himself through all these stupid questions from stupid members of Congress, and just to just to bring us to down to earth, here,

have a little reality check. This is what it sounds, this is what it was like yesterday when Barr was sitting there getting all kinds of nonsense thrown his way by these these partisan democrats play too. Do you expect to change your mind about the bottom line conclusions of the Mueller Report? No? Do you know Bob Muller? Yes? Do you trust him? Yes? May we have those notes? No? Why not? Why should you have them? You still have a situation where a president essentially try to change the

lawyers account in order to prevent further criticism of himself. Well, that's not a crime. He's mister attorney to down all. You know, give us some credit for knowing what the hell is going on around here with He aren't really to this line of questioning. So we're good. Listen, you've slandered this man. Yeah. What I sort of want to know is how do we get how do we get to this point? I do not think anyone, yes, she was,

They were all slandering him. There's a reason for this, not just because they hate him, because he's so effective, because he's crushing them like the fools. They are in front of anyone in America who's actually washing watching these hearings.

But they need to undermine it because they have a formidable adversary in bar and they have an Inspector General port looming that is going to that is going to make the Democrats look even dumber and show us just how far the rot of this spygate nonsense had spread, how high up the chain in the Obama administration spygate went, and the degree of abuse of power, abuse of some of the most sensitive authorities that the United States government

has under the Obama administration, what really occurred here. So they need to try to convince some people as many as they can that Barr is bad. He's Trump's lawyer, He's not really a good attorney general. He should resign, They say, he should be fired from his job. The guy's already been attorney general once and now they think that he's not qualified this time around. This is stunning

stupidity from Democrats. So you had Representative Steve Cohen today, who has said I've interviewed him before, he says crazy stuff all the time. He showed up carrying a plastic chicken into Capitol Hill today, and the whole idea being that Bar is a chicken because he won't show up and answer questions from staff counsel. Not even remember, why are congressmen chicken to ask Bar the questions themselves? Why

did they bring in staff counsel? They have staffs writing the questions for them anyway, They can't do this themselves. Oh we all know why. Because they want to make it look like Bars a defendant in a criminal trial. That's what this is supposed to be about. And Cohen, I think he also showed up, Mike, did he have a Cohen show up with like a bucket of chicken that he was eating too, right, wasn't he? Oh yeah, he had a bucket of KFC on the floor. What

what an imbecile? Yeah? He brought the circus there, Yeah he did. Head he turned he turned the circus dial up to eleven. Play clip eleven. We are looking at images of you at that committee hearing today with what if here's to be a bucket of fried chicken? And oh, there it is you brought props I see with you here. What is the message you're trying to send? The message

is that Bill Barr is a chicken? He was chicken to come to the House Judiciary Committee, faced the members of the committee and also faced thirty minutes from counsel that would have been difficult for him to respond to because he stands on shaky ground. His legal premises are very very obscure and rare and questionable, and his facts

are false. He lies, He tries to defend the president at all costs, and he did not want to go again as he did before the Senate and exposed as a liar and a fixer and a cover up for Donald Trump. It's just all accusations. It's all he's bad. He's a stupid faith I don't like Barr, bad man. No specifics here. What is the legal theory that he has that's so obscure? Steve Cohen is just he's just

making it up as he goes along. We know, we all know this is the what is the area of dishonesty they've identified with bar I mean, I hear people mumbling about how he said he talked him all or about something one day, but maybe he talked about it another day, or I mean, this is really now, this is at the he said he had corn flakes last Tuesday, but really he had corn flakes last Monday. Who cares,

It doesn't matter, But they're just looking for something. They're trying to find some underlying justification to call him a liar and maybe even say that he should be criminally prosecuted. These people are completely nuts. Look, I have zero respect for these Democrats in Congress. They are doing this none. It's not that I think that they have good ideas and we disagree. They are being dishonorable, disreputable, bad people in this process. They should feel shame, they should feel

embarrassed for what they are doing, but they don't. They don't because there's a purpose to it all. The purpose was hinted at today by Lindsey Graham talking about the FISA process and how all this, how do we get to this point? Why are we even talking about up struction? Why are we talking about the Russia investigation that would offer two years. What got this whole thing going? We don't have answers about that? And we should. This should

be so simple, right, this should be so straightforward. We've had We've had all this investigation and transparency and all these lawyers and millions, tens of millions of dollars spent trying to get answers. Why don't we have more answers here? Lindsey Graham brought up the files of process, brought up the way that the dirty dossier was laundered through the intelligence community. They acted like it was something worthy not just of attention, but of action. Stunning that they would

do that without verifying this. But here's what Lindsay Graham said about a play clip twelve. The Muller report has put the bed and it soon will be. This committee is going to look long and hard and how this all started. We're gonna look at the FISA warrant process. Did Russia provide Christopher Steel the information about Trump that turned out to be a garbage that was used to get a warrant on an American system citizen? And if so, how did this system fail? Yes, how did the system fail?

Who made the system fail. Who are the names we know, Comy McKay, brennan, Struck Page, Lisa, not Carter, who was engaged in the abuse of their power to change a presidential election. That's why they're attacking bar because he's going to get some of those answers and we're going to find out pretty soon. And he's not scared. They can't shake him down. He's not going to back off the word spying because spying is what they did. Speaking of

that spying, George Papadopoulos, big story in the New York Times. Oh, it turns out they were very much spying on him. We'll get into that in just a moment. When did the DOJ and the FBI, if you know, when did the DOJ and the FBI know that the Democratic Party paid for Christopher Steele's Dulcia, which then served as the foundation for the Carter Page vice application. I don't know

the answer to that. Are you investigating to determine that, Yes, did the Department of Justice, the FBI, and other federal agencies engage in investigative activities before an official investigation was launched in July twenty sixteen. I don't know the answer to that, But that's one of the you're also investigating that, all right, thank you very much. In general, that's what has Democrats on edge. How did this all get started?

How did the lie? How did the dirty docia? How did the conspiracy theory about Russia Trump collusion get so far, so fast and become the primary weapon of opposition that the Democrat left wielded against this president for over two years. Those are questions. We need some answers to my friends, and they're trying to get ahead of this to soften the blow to the Democrat credibility here with stories like

this one that just came out today. FBI sent investigator posing as assistant to meet with Trump aid in twenty sixteen. Oh that's right. The conversation at a London bar in September twenty sixteen took a strange turn when the woman sitting across from George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign advisor, asked a direct question was the Trump campaign working with Russia? The woman had set up the meeting to discuss foreign policy issues, but she was actually a government investigator posing

as a Reacher research assistant. According to people familiar with the operation, I sent her to London as part of the counter intelligence inquiry opened that summer to better understand

the Trump campaigns linked links to Russia. The American government's affiliation with the woman who said her name was Azra Turk is one previously unreported detail of an operation that has become a political flashpoint in the face of accusations by President Trump and his allies that American law enforcement and intelligence officials spied on his campaign to undermine his electoral chances last year. He called it spygate. It's not an accusation, it's a fact. Trump is right. He's been

right about this all along. The Democrats did spy on the Trump campaign. Anti Trump forces in the f behind the DOJ spied on the Trump campaign. This happened the Obama administration. Remember these people people like come and they are appointees of the Obama administration. There in the executive branch chain of command under Obama, he is responsible for their decision making. The buck stops with him. I know, kind of weird whenever I say that and there was spying,

they call this person. I just love the way a government investigator posing as a research assistant. You know what, I'd call that human intelligence collection. Spying. I used to work for a spy agency. This is spying, folks. This is the infiltration of a human asset overseas to try and entrap a member of the Trump campaign to bring down President Trump's election chances. That's what this was, to

destroy his election campaign. All is part of a counterintelligence investigation that never should have started in the first place. They spied. What's the justification for this going to be? How are they going to look the American people in the eye at the DOJ or the FBI after this and say that they're not a complete and utter sham. Well, what we find out is that the dossier was basically the whole story here, that the dossier was what justified

the fires warrants. And what if we find out that there was more than just the FIES warrants that have already been reported. What were they really doing when it came to General Flynn. How much surveillance was General Flynn under and why what other human assets spies were deployed against the Trump campaign, and what was the pretext that they used. How much entrapment to the FBI engagement. By the way, do we think the FBI was the only

agency involved here were their foreign intelligence agencies involved. These are questions, my friends, that are going to have explosive answers, and you know what, Bill Barr is going to get them for us. And that's why they hate him so much. That's why they're doing everything they can to undermine them. But you know what, he's going to crush these lives. You watch. Social media bands now include Alex Jones, Lewis Farrakon,

and Milo Janopolis. Facebook has permanently banned those three individuals as of today. This is this is noteworthy, my friends. Let's let's dig into this a little bit. Let me just first note that The Washington Post referred to Lewis Farakon as a far right figure at one point, which was that was fascinating. That was quite a pill to swallow. But here's the story today as we dig into these details, let me just lay this out for you. This one

from the New York Times Facebook on earlier today. It's that it had barred Alex Jones, the conspiracy theorists and founder of info Wars, and other right wing personalities from its service in an escalation of enforcement of its content policies. Wow, okay, so New York Times still says Lewis Farakon's right wing.

I guess the other band people include Lewis Farakon, the outspoken black nationalist minister who has been frequently criticized for his anti Semitic remarks, Milo Janopolis, the provocateur and far right media personality, and other less prominent but still controversial figures like Laura Lumer, Paul Joseph Watson, and Paul Nailin. The company said they were barred from using Facebook and Instagram under Facebook's policies against dangerous individuals and organizations. Dangerous

I mean Lewis Farakon is a hate monger. You know, you could argue he's dangerous. Is I know that the title of his Very Bad book was dangerous? But is Milo Janopolis dangerous? You've had Milo on the show in the past, is it? Is it dangerous when Milo says that a lot of radical feminists are just deeply unhappy man haters. Well, maybe it's dangerous in the sense that it hurts people's feelings, but it's also true. So is

the truth now dangerous? Is the truth something that is not a defense when it comes to social media bands and blacklisting. I don't know enough about Paul, Joseph Watson or Paul Naillen to really Mike, do you know though, do you know any I mean, isn't Joseph Watson that he's an Info Wars guy? Right at last said but I'm not really familiar. Yeah, I don't know who's Paul. I don't even know who Paul Nailin is. Do you

know Paul Nailin is? I'm checking out see some of these guys like the best thing that can happen to them and say, oh no, he is a he is a white supremacist. Okay, so he's a bad guy. I didn't even know who he was. But you know, Milo, why is he banned? Well, what is it about Miley? Look, I'm not saying that I agree with Milo or even I like what Milo does or anything else, but banned

from Facebook, band from Instagram. Look, this is a reminder, folks that these these social media platforms are now operating as the new version of the mainstream media monopoly of old. You know, you had this, You had this monopoly of the broadcast networks and the cable channels until Fox came along, of the major newsrooms, So you had newspapers and cable.

The only real piercing of this monopoly came from talk radio, and you know, thank you El rush Bow and some of the others that came after him for having some alternate voice out there other than just what we're being spoon fed by the corporate left media. And but then then with the Internet and Fox News, it's really came

around the same time, isn't that interesting? You know, Fox News started I think in nineteen ninety six, and you know, the Internet obviously is older than that, but it wasn't really you know, you weren't getting all of your news in the nineties from the web. There's still a lot of folks who are really dependent on newspapers. But you think of the information platform dominance that these different, these different news outlets had, and it's astonishing that anybody was conservative.

It's astonishing that anyone is was conservative in America given how much the left was able to control the narrative.

Then the Internet comes along. The Internet comes along, and now you have bloggers, you have Drudge Report, you have all these different conservative sites, places that I've worked out, like the Blaze, that pop up and in relatively short periods of time end up getting tens of millions of readers, and it feels like there's this democratization of the debate, that everybody can have a voice now that the audience determines what gets read, that the best ideas will win,

that we have a true marketplace of ideas. That was the Internet fifteen years ago. Now what we see is, well, there's been this massive consolidation of power and of these platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and they are private companies, and they come from Silicon Valley, which is overwhelmingly not

just democrat but progressive left. I mean Silicon Valley. And I know folks who worked I have friends who are high up actually in some Silicon some big Silicon Valley companies, and I don't ever name them or talk about them because they're private citizens that I would never want them to get in trouble for being friends with the likes of me. But I hear stuff. I mean, when James Daymore got run out of Google for asking questions that

some people didn't want to get asked. We're bringing up some ideas that people didn't want brought up like Google is. And you know Google's response to, hey, this is an ideological echo chambers you can't say that you're out without any irony. They do these things, but the Silicon Valley ethos is far to the left of the rest of America. I mean, the Silicon Valley is as progressive and really I think more progressive in many ways than what you'd find even in a major newsroom a place like the

New York Times the Washington Post. But the control that they have now shifts the debate in so many ways. And this is something that we're going to have to come up with an answer to because this right right now, they start with, you know, Laura Lumer and Paul Joseph Watson and Mila Janapolis. You know, they start with these people that you know are controversial. To be sure, some of them, I mean I didn't know who Paul Naylan was until now. Some of them are actually, you know, scum,

not good people that are pushing very bad ideas. But if they can ban Alex Jones, and this is not just a lazy, slippery slope argument, this is real. I mean, if they can ban Alex Jones, they can ban any conservative that's on the wrong side of instrument. How long is it? I asked this question honestly, how long is it before someone like me could be banned from a social media platform for refusing to use a female pronoun for a biological male. I think you probably would get

banned right now. Actually, you know, how long is it before having a history of speaking about transgender rights in a way that upsets the left makes you really a digital untouchable. You're no longer able to use any of the major social media platforms to get your message out, to share your ideas. We may already be there. And as much as I hate the idea of turning someone like Alex Jones into a First Amendment martyr, this is the dire action we're heading in now. This is what's

going to happen. And you know, once again, I just wish that conservatives could we have one social media platform that's not all about wokeness and social justice? Could could we just create one platform or have just an even playing field? Would be nice. You know, we don't have to be in a situation where we have the scale tilted toward us. I just would like to be in a place where we don't have the scale tilted towards them. That would be a major improvement, that would be greatly appreciated.

We're not there. We're not there, and banning banning these people is just the start, you know. And if you're off Facebook and Instagram these days in the media world, in the information battle, you are at a massive disadvantage. You're a massive disadvantage of conservatives. It's just a matter of time before you're going to see some mainstream conservatives on Alex Jones is not Miley Annopolis is people that I would come on here and say, I respect that person.

That person's smart. They're already banned from college campuses in some places. How long do you think it is before they're banned from the social media platforms. The left can't win the debate. That's why they don't like debating. It's why they always want to shut it down. They want to have their safe spaces and their trigger warnings. They don't want the exchange of ideas to occur, and they're finding as many ways as they can to make sure

that it does not occur. And this is yet another instance of how the left will cheat in order to win in the war of ideas. They don't care that it wasn't a fair fight. They never wanted it to be a fair fight. They're going to have Twitter and Facebook and Instagram. And for a lot of you are on social media, you may not care all that much about this, you may say back, I'm on, I don't even have social media accounts. But this is how everyone's communicating. This is this is the way it's going to be

going forward. This is where people get their news. This is the new cable network, this is the new printing press, and the left has seized control of it. And we need to find a way to rest at least some control back, or else our ideas are going to get suppressed and then we're doomed. The left has collected another scalp.

My friends, I don't know. I don't know what it's going to take for us to wake up and start rallying around our own start defending those who are trying to carry on with the conservative agenda, with the Trump agenda. But Stephen Moore, a guy I've interviewed many times, I believe I've had on radio a number of times, has withdrawn from consideration to be on the Federal Reserve Board. He put out a letter today, Mister President, I was honored and grateful that you asked me to serve on

the Federal Reserve Board. Your economic policies have been a spectacular success for American workers. Record unemployment, three point two percent growth, seven million job openings, and a near forty percent rise in the stock market with five quarters now a three percent economic growth, something your critics said could never happen, Trumponomics has been vindicated. Your confidence in me makes why I'm about to say much harder. I am

respectfully asking that you withdraw my name from consideration. The unrelenting attacks on my character have become untenable for me and my family, and three more months of this would be too hard on us. With greatest regards in respect, Steven More, this is a This is a complete and utter disgrace that Stephen Moore has been chased out of contention here for this job just because of the It was a CNN investigative journalists I think, got this whole

snowball rolling. And now there's more and more and more, and people say, oh, he's bashing women, and he's got these really controversial opinions. I mean, look, I can't speak for everything that he's ever written, but I read a lot of what he's being criticized for and not only is it not beyond the pale or crossing the line,

a lot of it's very sensible. The left is angry at him because he thinks that all this focus on gender pay equity doesn't take into account that men overwhelmingly are the breadwinners in most American families, and there's a real social cost to having men not earn enough money, especially not to earn enough money to be in a breadwinner role. And just for bringing that up, which is

a completely serious point. And you know social scientists, which there's really no such thing, but that's what people call them. The people can disagree about this, but there's nothing unacceptable about this idea, or there shouldn't be. But the left is radical. The left can't grapple with ideas that they don't like. They just want to say they want to shut down. They want to tell people that they can't think things, they can't say things. In a September I'm

trying to find some of the ones here. Oh yeah, here we go. On female athletes, he wrote a National Review in two thousand, quote, the women tennis pros don't really want equal pay for equal work. They want equal pay for inferior work. There's a very practical reason why Pete Sampras, for example, makes a lot more money than Martina Hingis does. He's much much better than she is. The day that Martina can return Pete serve is the

day she should get paid what he does. If there is an injustice in tennis, it's that women like Martina Hingis and Monica Sellis make millions of dollars a year even though there are hundreds of men at the collegiate level who could beat them handily. By the way, he's correct, that is true. So what part of this is so unacceptable? What part of this is so awful that Steve Moore should be chased out of the public square. I need

someone to walk me through this one. You know. This is this is when I when I look at the stuff that he's saying here, I go a whole lot of seconds. So he's talking about, you know, women in athletics and women in sports, and he's got ideas, none of these ideas. He's not bigoted, he's not racist, he's not saying horrible stuff. He just has a more traditional view a bunch of this. But this is like when people try to people get so upset about the w

NBA being criticized for example. Look, I mean the w NBA is an inferior product to the NBA, meaning that when you watch the w NBA, it's just not interesting. Now, if you love the w n B A and you want to watch it, that's great, that's good for you. But there's a business here, and the business model is the more eyeballs, the more advertisers will pay for those eyeballs,

so you make more money. People don't want to watch the w NBA, and we can we can say that sexist or that's mean or whatever, but there's only so much you know, passing and the occasional layup can do to get people excited. And people want to see feats of tremendous athletic skill and prowess. So I just got I just gotta say, you know, this is this is what the left does. And until we finally stand up and say that we will not bow to this kind

of pressure anymore, they're gonna keep doing it. I mean, this is this is horrific that they're Dragon's got through the muddy. You know, I've spoken to Steve Moore many times. He's a nice guy. It's a smart dude, he's a nice guy. He's gonna be in the Federal Reserve Board. But the guy's not gonna be president United States. Everyone needs to calm down bashing when he's not bashing women. He feels differently about women's professional sports than some other people,

do you know. I don't know what to say. I mean, he's he should be entitled his opinions. We're quickly heading to a place where to be a conservative means that you have a constant liability in your professional life, and to be a public figure of any kind and be a conservative just means that the left will draw something from your background to try and crush you and ruin you and destroy your reputation. They'll find some way to make it seem like you're Neanderthal. You have these bad

I've heard people say Neanderthal. I don't know if any of you have had that. Maybe that's a British thing, but I always said Neanderthal. Here's another one that Steve Moore got in trouble for. He wrote about the inequity of co ed sports at very junior levels. Quote, no one seems to care much that co ed sports is doing irreparable harm to the psyche of America's little boys. At this pre puberty state of life, girls tower over

boys and typically have greater coordination. Last year, the pelee of my son's league was a kindergartener named Kate Lynn Secretariat in pigtails. During one game, Kate and stampeded over Justin repeatedly, which of course, did wonders for his fledgling self esteem. If the girls are bad, the moms are worse. They'd be rate. The referees taunt opposing players, nag the coach unmercifully to put their no talent kid back in.

Let me just say, you know, I think Steve Moore is wrong here, for whatever that's worth, because I coach soccer and dads are just as bad as the moms. Uh you know it's you know, there are great dads and great moms that have their kids play soccer, and there are lunatics that have their kids playing soccer, male and female doesn't. So I mean I think Steve's wrong here.

I'm not saying I agree with what he's written. I'm just saying he shouldn't be chased out of public life or saying, you know, the w NBA is boring that you know, women's tennis players shouldn't make as much as men's tennis players, that men need to make more money to feel like they have social value to women and to their families. And you know, these are ideas, these are these are reasonable ideas to discuss. That doesn't mean that I agree with him, And I'm sure he said

some things here and there. I mean, I can't speak for everything Steve Moore has ever written, but I have not seen anything that is oh my gosh, this guy can't be on the Federal Reserve board. But the left, they got it, folks, another scalp. When do we do this? When do we get scalps from the left for this kind of stuff? We just don't they play rough? We

played gentle. It's not good so team In the break, producer Mike actually brought me up to speed with some some additional sports gender inequity complaints, stuff that I that I didn't even know about. That's worthy of an inclusion in this conversation from Mike. Tell, What's what's going on with the women's World Cup team? Yeah, I saw that they were going to boycott the next women's soccer right with soccer, Women's soccer World Cup team excellent team, I

mean when the gold medal. From what I see, all they do is when. But they're talking about boycott the next World Cup over paid discrimination. I was like, like, I wish that they would realize this is not about you know, women or their gender. It's about advertising and nobody watches. I mean, that's an article was about that, as it wrote, and it tied in the NCAA tournament in women's basketball and the nc Double A tournament. How little people watch and there's no advertising dollars. They can't

broadcast it because nobody watches. Nobody watches because it's not a good spectator experience. Exactly. I rode crew in college. Crew is incredibly difficult competitive. You know, people that are in really top boats are in phenomenal physical condition, and uh, crew is boring to watch on TV. I mean it is straight up boring. It's like watching people in canoes or something just float down a river. I mean, it's

just not exciting. It's not a good spectator experience. All the rowing looks the same, all the boats look the same. So if I if I were running and complaining about how well, why didn't our crew team get all these sponsorships from Nike and everything else, because doesn't matter how good you are, nobody wants to watch it. And that's not the same thing as saying people don't respect it, right, And there aren't people that you know that that love it and that you know engage and you know that

sport out of all kinds of passion. But I mean, dude, look women's soccer as a spectator and somebody who actually likes soccer, which I know makes me sound not American. You know, women's soccer is like men's soccer, except at half speed. That's that's what it is speaking of. Speaking of half speed, this is a quick story for you.

One of my best friends at NBA referee. He got his start refereeing w NBA games and when he moved to the NBA, where we're talking about the difference between the guys and a girl's game, and he said that exactly about the speed. He's like, it's night and day. He's like, I could fall asleep on the court towing a w NBA game and still do my job. Yes, and this is not to say that you know, I'm not putting down this skill or ability that wn NBA

players have. You know, I'm not saying that they're not, you know, good at what they're doing anything like that. I'm just saying that from the enjoyment, the spectator enjoyment perspective, you know, there's it's just not it's not a good product. Now, some people love it, and for those you don't have to send me if you love it, that's great, right. I also think that. And now I'm gonna get really no, I'm not gonna start trashing different sports because I'm just

gonna make everybody mad at me. Okay, here's one that I don't mind. Lacrosse. Lacrosse is just not it's lacrosse is fun to watch in person. I saw when I was in college. I'd watched lacrosse games, But lacrosse on TV, I'm sorry, it just looks like a bunch of guys are shaking sticks. You can't even see the ball, you don't know what's going on, and they're kind of just running around in circles the whole time. It's just not a good spectator experience, and as entertainment, it doesn't work

well enough to make a lot of money. That's why there's not a huge professional lacrosse league. It's not about sexism, it's about the value that it creates via audience for the sale of product. And Mike, what's the the WNBA said, there's another so the cup thing? And then what's with women's college basketball at the NCAA tournament I was talking about earlier? Yeah, yeah, they had there, Like every year,

there's like one article. And I followed the nc Double Tournament, love watching it, and they always intermix the women's game with the men's game. They played on the off off days and nobody watches, and you know, and you invariably get the article out there that says, why isn't you know, why aren't there networks broadcasting the women's game during prime time because nobody watches? Well, you know, what are we supposed to do about that? Are we supposed to make

people watch? Oh? No, I know we're supposed to do We're supposed to engage in a kind of entertainment Marxism where we give people money that they did not earn through their ability because you know, they feel gender discrimination or something. You know, I'm sorry, you know. By by the way, I think that on the issue of women's tennis, I think women's tennis actually is a good product, and I think that there are a lot of you know, there's a lot of reason to especially for pople who

are like me, who are recreational players. Uh, it's much less based on the serve. It's much less based on that one aspect of the game. So so I can make a case that like women's tennis is a is a very good spectator sport actually, and I think there's a reason why. You know, Serena and Venus and these other players are international superstars. But you know, women's ice hockey, which I saw when I was in college, which is hockey, but again at half speed and no checking, no physical contact.

Not fun. Okay, it's not fun to watch. So people can make up all these explanations and stories as much as they as much as they want. But you know, at the end of the day, the real issue here for me is whether you agree or disagree with me.

These are just ideas that are that should be in an open forum for discussion, and people should be able to have these feelings about different sporting events, have these feelings about uh, you know, pay gaps or pay equity in all this and not be chased out of the public square. But you know, the left has a has a totalitarian instinct. You know, you criticize the w NBA

at your peril. You know, you talk about men, and I also would note that they're the same, the same people that get so upset about that now want men to be able to play in women's sports because they are a transgender and they say, oh, we should. I just saw earlier this week, I think there was a transgender athlete. I think this was maybe hopefully it wasn't one of these things where I saw a news story that's old and just made it back into my feed.

But set some Mike who need check on this one for me, set some kind of powerlifting, like three powerlifting records. It's because the person's genetically mail. So the people that are upset at us for saying that, you know, men's sports because it attracts a larger audience generally speaking than women's sports make more money, and that's just the market speaking.

That's not sexism. Those that same intellectual left in this country, maybe calling an intellectual gives them too much credit, but that same ideological left runs around saying that now biological males should be able to compet compete in women's sports. You know, I had a conversation with a friend who's a Democrat recently about this, and I said, you know, what about MMA, I mean, what about mixed martial arts?

But now you're talking about somebody who has the testosterone, bone density, muscle, muscle placement, and you know, of a male fighting in combat hand to hand physical females, You think that that's well, you know, we don't want people to feel not included. Really you think that, you know, if that were your daughter in the ring, you know, even granted you know she's an MMA fighters, she's trained, but you would want some guy to be able to get in there. And it's just nuts. You're you're right

about that trans center. This was just yesterday and that the headline is transgender weightlifter or smashes women's record, sparks backlash from Olympians. Yeah, anyway, and by the way, me saying that I have a problem with that in ten years, if I want to be on the Fed reserve, you know, governors or whatever, I mean, if I'm going to be in public life in that kind of way, I'm sure that CNN some little beta mail at CNN, Well, we'll dredge that up from my path. So look at him.

He's opposed to transgender rights. It's a completely valid, completely valid point. You got men doing powerlifting records, men for women, right. But you know, give it ten years and they'll say that I'm beyond the pale, I'm unacceptable. I mean, this is this is the crazy world the left is forcing

us all to live in. Now. It's just wrong. For as long as people can come into the country illegally and then get released into the country without fear of deportation or extended stays and detention, they're going to keep coming. Put these numbers in perspective, though, is this really a crisis at the border? Absolutely, this is a crisis. This sector alone is already over one hundred and seventy seven thousand apprehensions. That's more than we had in the entire

fiscal year last year. But in addition to that, this sector leads the nation in marijuana seizures, so it leads the nation in cocaine seizars. So while we have this policy crisis going on, there's also this border security crisis going on. A border security crisis keeps grinding on day after day. I cover it here on this show. As much as much as I can, as much as there's additional news and information to bring to you, because this is immensely important. Democrats don't want it to go away,

they don't want it to stop. They don't want to change any of this. Their preference is the continuation of the status quo, as we have discussed many times, and this is just bad from all levels. They don't see

any problems with it. The problems that I see with the current situation at our southern border are the lawlessness, the destruction of our sovereignty, the importation of vast quantities of drugs, the enormous cost of the taxpayer, the drain on assimilation and social cohesion from massive illegal immigrant communities that are growing and growing in the country that arrive here in violation of our laws, and then demand more things from the people that are actually in this country

legally because the Left tells them that they are entitled to that. The cartels getting richer, cartel's sweep and influence growing all the time, the cartel is able to import more illegal drugs into our communities that are killing more of our fellow Americans. This is a mess, and yet they still you had MSNBC's Gabe gautieras they're saying, well, is this is this a crisis? Yeah, dude, it's a crisis. If if a crisis has meaning, this is or the word has any meaning, this is it? Just like if

spying is a thing. Democrats spied on the Trump campaign. That's you know, the FBI, the Hillary funded dossier, all this stuff. There was spying on the Trump campaign. If the word spying has any meaning, that there's a crisis at our border, if the word crisis has any meaning. And that's why now, as of this week, the White House is asking for an additional four point five billion

dollars for border security. And I'll just note that the border security they're talking about will be helpful, but keep in mind that they wouldn't give four point five billion dollars for a wall. They said, we didn't have money

for that. We had money for that, But now we need four point five billion to surge more people, you know, more taxpayer dollars going to a system that is being intentionally exploited, that is being intentionally overwhelmed, and that one political party has no interest in addressing in a meaningful way, and the facilities and resources at the border have been pushed beyond the breaking points. This is all just fact.

I mean, I've been down there, I've seen it, and now we're just going to start shoveling more and more money to the border without dealing with the problem. The problem is if people think they can come to this country in violation of our laws and receive benefits and no punishment, They're going to keep doing it. That is the fundamental problem that that is the decore issue that

all of this revolves around. Yes, conducting these DNA tests that will at least create some penalty or some disincentive for people to be fake family units at the border. I mean, that will help somewhat, but it's not going to do all that much. Federal Court Ninth Circuit, usually usually a judge in San Francisco or somewhere on the West coast. They stop the Trump administration from taking actions clearly within executive authority to try to deal with this problem.

And here's what I've got for you. I gotta just start to think, how does this play out in twenty twenty. I'm of two minds on this one, because you know I've been I've been supporting Trump along the way here, I've been supporting the president doing everything that is in his power and then some to try and secure the border. I think that he understands the gravity of this issue. I think he is serious about this in a way

that other Republicans have not been. And he recognizes that this was a solemn promise that he made to his base, to his voters, people like you and me, back in the days of not just the general election, but the primary.

This was really what separated Trump from the competition his position on the border, which then you had some people, including Ted Cruze, get closer and closer to him because they knew that this is what this is what conservatives the right rule of law, sovereignty, This is what It requires a major effort to deal with the overflow of all these people at the border right now, the intentional

inundation of the US Mexico border. But how does it look for twenty twenty when the Trump administration has the least secure border and the worst situation when it comes to border security of any administration for the last really last almost twenty years now, at least last fifteen or so, I don't know. You tell me, what do you think about that? How do you how should we feel about this?

I can make and I have all the arguments, but how it's not Trump's fault, it's the system and it's but you know, there was a majority in the Congress, there was there was an opportunity to do something, and they did really nothing on immigration. I mean, there was the travel ban, which was a big fight with the left and the Trump administration, but that's not gonna stop what's going on our southern border. No one thought that was the case. Shouldn't there be at least some accountability

for being in charge? I mean, if we voted for Trump to handle the situation of the border and he's been unable to do so. I'm not saying that means you start to think about voting for the other guy. I'm just saying, you know, we need to turn the heat up a little bit here. I worry a little bit that the President's base maybe disaffected somewhat going into the election, because you know, the wall has not been built.

All right, Let's not pretend. Yes, some sections of the wall have been built up, but those were sections that it's upgrades. There's not new wall being built, and the wall is certainly not completed. New sections of the wall are not in a noticeable way under construction. It's really just upgrades to existing wall, which is important because a lot of places where we have existing wall, those are the most critical areas for physical barrier. But the wall

is not yet finished. And you know, trum Trump hasn't been able to solve this problem yet, not even close. In fact, it's worse than it was under Obama, which if we're going to really talk about this, I think we need to just put that in very straightforward terms. The only good thing that Trump has going for him on the porter really right now is that the Democrats are completely insane. The Democrats are now an open borders

party in all but name. They will not criticize illegal immigrants, they do not seem to have any problem with illegals flooding into America across the US Mexico border. That they do everything they can to make the enforcement of our laws harder, to make the enforcement of our laws less likely to occur in any meaningful sense, and this is

just a power play for them. So the good news is that while Trump is imperfect, or rather, he has not yet delivered on the border for his voters, The other side of this is that the Democrats on immigration are just completely insane. They cannot be trusted, they do not speak the truth, and they do not have any

real plan other than letting this continue to happen. And then they want to take money from you, the taxpayer, to assist these people, to set them up, and and they're not gonna get a lot of gratitude for this. Keep this in mind because the Left is also telling those from the Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador that their countries are in such bad shape because of what America has done. This is now a

common theme that you hear. It's all our faults, so we have to make up for it by giving people money, even those you violate our laws to be here. Honesty, dude, It'll all be a woman's choice. I'm not about to be the male till a woman would do with her body. Kid the right to make the seats us I directular is it? Some kids are the underwarted, so you kill them, kill them. Laden. You bring them in the world on one love, they seem to making ship, so you kill them.

Na kill him Laden? That was and I know It's a little hard understand the audio quality there, but that was Alabama State Representative John Rodgers, Democrat, of course, talking about abortion. As you know, there's a lot of attention

on some of these state abortion bills. Some of these bills are really shockingly well straightforward and what they're trying to accomplish, which is to make an abortion at all nine months of a pregnancy, including up to the moment of birth, and even after birth in some cases legal, to make it legal to terminate a pregnancy to end

of human life at any point in that process. And here you have Alabama State Representative John Rodgers who is just saying what is the true position of the abortion lobby, which is that this really just comes down to, yes, a woman's choice, but also you know, some kids are just unwanted, and because they're unwanted, they should be able to be terminated. He said, some kids are unwanted, quote, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them into the world unloved, you send them

to the electric chair. So you kill them now or you kill them later. This is really a position that is very similar to a kind of eugenics position, which is that we should eliminate the undesirable as before they come into the world, so that we don't have to deal with the social consequences. That is what an undesirable,

just being they're not desired by the parents. In this case, that's what Alabama State Representative John Rodgers, who has been in public life as a politician I believe for decades, been around for a long time, not some new guy to all this, But he let the mask slip here for a second. For the pro abortion left. He's saying what they all think and what the logic of their position really is. He's just not dressing it up in terms like just oh, it's just about choice and women's

body and all of these things. That's not the approach that he took there. So it is a little jarring because we're used to hearing this always discussed in language that is meant to obscure what's really going on. I mean, that is a central, a central theme of all pro choice propagandas that you never really talk about what's happening, you never really talk about the process. And in fact, the movie Unplanned is so horrific to the pro abortion movement.

It's horrific to people who are pro life too because of what it's depicting. But it's so unthinkable to the pro abortion movement because you're actually from what I understand, I have not seen it yet to be fair, I need to see it. But friends of mine I have seen it and describe to me that it is graphic and showing you the procedure, and that is enough to really upset people that are constantly advocating for that procedure, and not just for the right to the procedure, but

for the tax dollars that go toward it. That you should be paying for this as well. You know. Alexandra da Sanctis is a staff writer at National Review, and she pulled together just to give you a sense of how the media covers all this. She pulled together of the time times that media outlets have framed quote democratic extremism on abortion as conservatives pounce, and she wrote here that it is astonishing how often this happens and how

egregious it is. It's true whenever you have something like this, where you have Alabama State Representative John Rogers saying what abortion really is and what the abortion movement is all about, and people like me and others on the conservative side use this to highlight what the truth is of their position.

Then immediately there's this whole machinery, this propaganda machinery that goes into high gear, and that's meant to obscure, distract, deflect, lie about what has been said or what's really going on. You saw this when you had that guy, the guy who wore the black face back in high school. It's a northumb there we go, because there's a few of them,

actually the Democrat party. But when North them talked about the procedure and making a baby comfortable and the doctor and the mother figuring out what to do after the an unsuccessful abortion procedure and there's a baby outside the womb. I mean, he described it, and what he described is what Democrats want. But they acted like he didn't say what he said. And remember he's an MD. He said

he didn't really say that. Or Republicans conservatives are misconstruing it. Oh, just like we misconstrued the Mueller report, right, even though they have the whole Mudel report. None of this makes any sense to normal people. But Democrats are, unfortunately, psychologically

these days, not a normal party. But Alexander pulled together different threads, and I just wanted to share some He's with you because it really does illustrate how entrenched abortion is the Democratic Party and how all mainstream journalism really without exception is that is, anything from center to left to the far left, is just on a mission to

defend abortion at all costs. Here's what the Washington Post after Senate Democrats voted down the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would have required medical care for infants who survive attempted abortions. Here's what the Washington Post headline was, Trump and Republicans are trying to paint Democrats as radical

on abortion. Well, if they won't support a child receiving medical care after it has been delivered from the womb, I don't think that they're trying to paint them as radicals. I think they are radicals. But here's Politico after Senate Democrats defeated the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, a bill that did not limit abortion any way, political rights. Senate defeats anti abortion bill as GOP tries to jam Dems. Oooh,

they're the bad guys who are trying to jam them. See, they are the aggressors here Here's more from Politico in which Republicans are both pounding and seizing. After Senate Democrats defeated a bill to require medical care for infants born alive after attempted abortions, Republicans pound abortion infanticide message. Democrats say the GOP arguments are inflammatory and inaccurate, but Republicans are already seizing on the issue in their twenty twenty strategy.

That's right, seizing on the Republicans seas Republicans pounce anytime Democrats look bad. The focus in the media. This is a classic tactic of the mainstream media's propaganda. The focus has to shift right away to what the Republicans are doing in response and how they're either overreaching, pouncing, seizing all these Exploiting is really the term that they're often looking for, you know, Republicans exploit this vulnerability in the

Democrat message. Alexander Desanctus goes on here with this very interesting list. Here's the New York Times after Democratic lawmakers in New York and Virginia pushed bills to allow abortion after viability in the last three months of pregnancy. Here's the headline, Folks Trump Pence lead GOP seizure of late

term abortion as a potential twenty twenty issue. Then she has Here's Politico after Senate Democrats defeated the Born Alive Protection Survivors Protection Act, not only inexplicably putting attempted abortion in scare quotes, but also noting that Republicans were trying

to squeeze Democrats political rights. The Senate rejected a bill making it a felony for a doctor to a harm or neglect an infant who survives a quote attempted abortion end quote, part of a Republican effort to squeeze Democrats ahead of the twenty twenty campaign. Then she goes on Conservative sees on Alabama Democrat state, Democrat abortion comments. And then this is Washington post abortion bill GOP outrage against

Democrat governor Northam Democratic legislatures. See, the problem is always the Republican response as far as the media is concerned. The problem is always Republicans going too far, overreaching, pouncing, seizing, just like when we talk about this Alabama State Rep.

John Rodgers. See. I think the problem is that Democrats have embraced a party of death that not just legalizes, but really does celebrate, as some kind of right our ite the murder and sacrifice of infants for a political platform. That is what is going on here, and we need not speak around the subject. I think it better to be blunt, no matter what they say about us seizing

on it. I dream a little smaller and gonna tell you guy will happen to you again, and there will PDBB people in your life who will tell you not to dream to me because they don't want their haters and they didn't want in any Moore for you union. They hate the Unchians. So in those moments, in those moments, because they they'll have they happen to me, they'd have in my head and where people say you don't belong,

this isn't leave you. So in those times, because they will come up, you have to ask yourself whether you're gonna gonna leave the haters or where are you're gonnnna leave the only truth of your story. That's Michelle Obama, who was giving what a commencement address there, I think, or so or not a commend with a graduation address. Commencement's the beginning, graduations the end or I don't know what she was given. It was a speech she gave yesterday.

It doesn't really matter. Uh, I just find this. Maybe she's a one for rhetorical flourish here. But her quote, they told me that I wanted too much for myself. I should dream a little smaller. Did anyone ever really tell her that. I can't prove that that's not true, but that doesn't ring true with me. Has anyone ever told you dream smaller for yourself? I don't know. It

seems like kind of a strange thing to say. And you know, Michelle Obama is somebody who I think the adoration that the media holds for Michelle Obama is probably greater than any other human being in the country. Really, I think she's probably the single favorite person for a majority of political journalists in America. I mean second, I mean or rather, the only person that's more beloved than Obama,

I think is Michelle Obama. But do you know there was always a tone that Michelle Obama would strike on certain issues that I found off putting. Of course, when she said that for the first time in her adult life she was proud of her country when her husband, that's a very strange thing for a first lady to say. And if you read her thesis, from Princeton University one. I mean, she obviously wasn't a very good writer or a particularly strong student, so you start with that. I mean,

I've read the thesis. It's shockingly inarticulate and poorly written, and it's about how being a black student at Princeton means that you are constantly being unfairly treated and undermined. And it was very much a victimology treatise. But Michelle Obama is still considered. If you ever criticize her, you are going to feel the wrath of the mainstream median

ways that you cannot really imagine. They are completely and utterly enamored with her, and I do believe that we're going to be hearing more from the Obama's going into the twenty twenty election than we did in the midterms, that's for sure. And speaking of p the media are enamored with Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is a person that in many ways exemplifies the woke left, which is all emotion, no substance, all social justice, not a lot of reading of books. And this is kind of a funny moment.

She's at a at a garden. Producer Mike, what is going on here, she's she's in I think she's at her garden where she lives, I believe, I'm not one hundred percent sure where she's dpe here somewhere. Yeah. So she just does these random social media videos, right, that's what this is all. She just creates these little videos and then we're all supposed to go, oh, look at her, or she's so social media savvy. Whatever. Here's Nocazio Corte

is getting all excited over her garden played nineteen. Oh my god, you guys, I just checked on my community garden slot, and I was so nervous because I was I was in New York for two weeks recess. Look, Oh my god, look at this. It's like, look at the colored greens, they're shute. Look at the dahlia's. Oh my god, I don't have to trim all of these

back for smoothies. I am shook. Look like, honestly, gardening food that comes out of dirt, like it's magic or it's just what human beings have been doing tens of thousands of years. Now. It's it's agriculture, that's right. Plants they grow, they turn into food. This is a thing that happens, like this is an important stuff, but I think it's kind of funny. Do you think she loses her mind when the sun comes up? The sun comes up every morning, she's like, oh my gosh, Like the

sun is like coming up. It's amazing, Like look at it, so bright, like hurts your eyes you look at it. But I just love it. It's so warm. Yeah, Mike, I don't know, man, They really they really love Kazio Cortez. And I keep wondering when people are gonna wake up and understand that she is a false idol for the left. But I guess all the idols the left are kind of false. Not somebody that I find impressive in the least,

but probably the most of all Democrats. She is more able to shift the national media narrative than anyone else. I mean, she is completely with one tweet, with one statement, she can create a news story that everyone will seize on, and of course the ninety percent of the of the media that her Democrats will find some way to make it sound like she's brilliant, she's wonderful. And then when the conservative media is like, a hold on a second, she's kind of an imbecile. There's why are you obsessed

with her? Well, why do you guys all run stories on her all the time? But yeah, gardening, that's a thing that works. You can plant things in the ground. It turns into food, amazing. It's like magic, or it's like plants and agriculture. This is close enough. But looks she was having a nice time. You know, you've gotta there's a little bit of poking fun. And then we also gotta say she's allowed to have fun too. She's gardening whatever fine she likes to make. Put it in

her smoothies. I don't really drink smoothies because smoothies are generally very high in sugar. Because to make a smoothie taste good, you have to put the good juice in it, and the good juice like apple juice or pineapple juice, things like that that really sweeten it up. You might as sort of drink soda. Speaking of which, check out my smooth transition here in the third hour of the show. That's right, Speaking of which, drinking producer Mike, did you

know this drinking diet soda? According to the the New York Post today, studies have come out that drinking diet soda means you are more likely to gain weight. This does not surprise me at all. There's no a no such thing as a free lunch, including calorie free stuff that you drink with lunch. It's not good for you. I do not like these things. I do not like this fake sweetener stuff. If you're gonna have the sweet taste,

have sugar, because what ends up happening. According to this new study, it's actually published in Pediatric Obesity, and it shows the kids and teenagers who drink diet coke and other diet beverages ate an extra two hundred calories a day because their body thinks they're taking in calories that they're not taking, or rather their body essentially compensates for what the processes are of taking in this sea. I

can't really really explain it, no one really knows. But they eat too much or they eat more than they should because they're drinking the diet sodas. The researchers focused on those kids drinking sodas packed with low calories sweeters. They found youngsters who drank diet drinks consume extra calories and also took in more calories from added sugars in food and drinks compared to water. Drinkers basically drink water.

People should be drinking water. And I mean I'll throw coffee in there too, but water, coffee, tea, that's what you should drink. Booze when you want to celebrate, you know, a little wine with a great steak or a beer with a great burger or whatever. But people should be drinking water. The entire sweetened beverage industry is something that I think is going bye bye sooner than later. All right, roll calls coming up, seeing Buck, It's time for roll call.

Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton roll call time. I tell you I had a I had lunch today with a friend of mine who was coming into DC. She actually was getting a tour from a friend in the White House who works in the White House. She said, hey, can we grab lunch? And it was just kind of fun because we did we did the math on it. She was the first and we've been we've been friends now for god, I said, we did the math and now I'm forgetting about twenty four years. We've been friends

for twenty four years. And she was the first person, first girl who I ever asked for a phone number from, and I was in the sixth grade at the time, or maybe the fifth grade, one of my oldest friends, and we had lunch that I was kind of funny because now I have some friends who I count our our friendship no longer in years, but in decades. That's how it goes. She's a she's a good buddy, and

she's getting a personal tour of the White House. And it was just kind of funny to think about how man thirteen year old bucks like a very long time ago Facebook dot com slash buck sexton. Let me get to your thoughts here, and first up, we have low law rights. I feel like we have switched from wag the dog to wag the swamp. Two months ago, Trump signed an extension on the budget that restricted his ability to build a wall, giving the local landowners the ability

to block the wall. He didn't have to sign. He could have at the time just given an extension. Now the MULA report has done, and for no apparent reason, he meets with Schumer and Pelosi and signs a two trillion dollars infrastructure deal. Please the love of God, someone please explain to me what's going on here. Shields High, you know, the bureaucracy is very powerful, my friend. I mean, this is a real thing. The bureaucracy has its own will, has its own desires. As I have often said, the

bureaucracy is self aware. The bureaucracy is like Skynet in the Terminator movies. It advocates for its own interests. It's no longer concerned with what its initial task that it was set up to do. Maybe so, yes, it's not surprising to me that there are all these checks and well, checks and balances are good, But this is the checks

on power that are not supposed to be there. Although I do try to take some comfort in the safety and security of gridlock right that our government not being able to do that much in some ways is probably for the best. Just think about, would you really want to have Okazio Cortez or Amy klobischar or Nancy Pelosi. You want them to have a blank slate to do whatever they want to do and affect your life however they want to affect it. Nope, So why I limited

government is so important. Part of a limited government is a government that is not just not allowed to do certain things, but it's incapable of doing certain things. That's why the system that we have with really oppositional aspects of government or people. Checks and balance is a better way of saying it. So I'll just say that checks and balances in place, that's why it's so important. But

it's gotten a little out of control. I mean, to the point being made here by Lowell that you have one federal judge that now can effectively overrule whatever it is the president tries to do at any point in time. That's just that's just excessive, that's just too much. That's not what the and that's not what the system is supposed to have in place. And also in the era of Trump, there are a lot of people who feel like the old rules and I mean constitutional and statutory

rules no longer apply. Anything to take Trump down, anything to stop Trump, anything to prevent the implementation of Trump's agenda, is justified in the eyes of many people in the resistance. It's just the truth. Graham Rights, I'm assuming you plan to give this pressing national security story all the coverage it richly deserves. And this is about a bluga whale

that is apparently part of some Russian spy program. The reason they know this is that it had a harness on with letters from the cyrillic alphabet written on it. So people think that maybe there's something with the Bluga whales getting trained to do recon or something. I don't know. Yeah, I saw this story. I think we actually talked about it on Rising. These days, we do a fair amount of funky stories on Rising. That's become a thing that

we do, so yeah, let's check this one out. In fact, it was a Russian disinformation or no, not disinformation, a Swedish counter propaganda operation of dropping bears behind enemy lines in Russia from the sky freedom bears that brought us commy Bear a long time ago. And now some of you're saying, Buck, commy bear. Where have I heard that before? I know, I have not yet forgotten. It is time for the bear to come back, and I've been saying it for a long time. So we will have to

make that happen. Chuck friends with Buck. The whole collusion hoax was always just a pretext to an obstruction charge by the Dems. They thought that if they turned the screws hard enough on the President, he would take action that could be construed as obstruction and therefore impeachable. Am I in the ballpark, Chuck, Yes, the collusion narrative. They knew very early on that they weren't going to be able to make that stick, and so the real effort was going to be what we see now, which is

to make it about obstruction. Oh, it's not the crime, it's the cover up. Well, there was no crime, and in fact, obstruction as a charge does not work either because there was no cover up either. Where is the obstruction? How did Trump obstruct an investigation that at any point in time he could have just ended. You're gonna tell me he obstructed something when he could have ended it. You know, this is like saying that you know, I obstructed a dinner party. Well, you know, I'm the chef.

I cooked all the food. If I didn't want the dinner party to happen, I could have just not cooked the food. So someone explained that one to me. That analogy kind of held up. That worked, Kevin, Right, Hey, Buck, I'm listening to Wednesday's podcast. Have a say, you're throwing too many softball movie quotes out there. Clear and present danger is the reference to the Potomac two step. You

are correct sir, That's my favorite. That's probably my favorite scene in the whole thing where where he gets in there and he says, you know, old Jack, you'll hold us in your back pocket, the Old Potomac two step. That guy is great in the role of President. He really does a good job. Whatever. I don't know that actor is from Clear and Present Danger, but he does a really, really good job. I'm sorry, mister President. I don't dance, you know. I think in his day you

can make it. You can make an argument that Harrison Ford was really the great you know, who's really the top of the is for the greatest leading male movie stars of well of the movie generation really, which is what we have had now. I would say, you've got Tom Cruise there. I know I'm not I'm not really a Tom Cruise fan, but he's got to be in the conversation. You've got to put Harrison Ford up there. You've I think you can make a case for either

Will Smith or Denzel Washington. I think you could dan Donald Moffatt was the president there Jack the Old Potomac two Step. But that's a great Clear and President Danger. I think as a better movie than Patriot Games, although there's something kind of eerie and gritty about Patriot games. You know that reminds me I want to go back and read some of the Clancy classics. Man that guy was. That guy was the man back in the day, Harla Rights. The radio show has been exceptional this week. You are

on fire in Fuego. Thank you for what you do, Carla. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I've really been putting it, putting it out there this week, you know, going hard on the show, and I appreciate that you appreciate it and everyone else listening, and I hope that it spurs some of you on to say, Hey, I like this Buck Sexton guy. I'm gonna tell somebody to download his podcast so that more more people listen to

the show, so he'll also keep having a show that grows. Um. But yes, now this has been a good week for good week for the news. A lot to talk about. I will say I've slowed down a little bit today. I just kind of hit a wall. I'm just some days, you know, you just haven't gotten enough sleep for three or four days, and today was one of those days. From me. I just like, oh man, but you cannot you cannot stop. When the when the g wats hot, as a guy used to tell me, the global war

on terrorism. And you cannot stop when the freedom hunt is hot. So freedom Hut's hot this week, U David right? Buck Beard's high, I mean shield's high. You look great, brother, SI swimsuit issue going, Shariah has my jaw on the floor. I'm half expecting a pick with a beech cop from the nineteen twenties. They're measuring her burkini to make sure

it doesn't violate the law, I aim. The woman that is Islamic dress codes proves that social justice in its feminist wing have nothing to do with liberty and progress, but sending it for anything that isn't Christian. No matter how hypocritical the feminists are on the left, it is

a leftist ideology. And Islam is also considered a protected religious category in this country by the left because they think of it as a non white, non Christian religion, even though there are plenty of white people who are Muslims, but they still think of it as a predominantly non white religion and so they give it special consideration. They think that it deserves special treatment. So there you have it. Let's get a quick pausire. Will come back. We'll finish

up from a role call on the flip side. I have more for you, more of your thoughts, Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton. We will be right back, Laurel. Next up here on a roll call. Hey Bock, listening to the show from Wednesday night, have a question on Mueller's scope. I think Andrew McCarthy is very smart, but he keeps referring to obstruction as being Muller's main objective in his investigation.

As a fellow swamp dweller, I have had interesting conversations, including one with somebody reputable who pointed out that obstruction is nowhere in the letter authorizing the Special Council. It is inferred in the sections about any matter arising from the investigation. Laurel, I'd have to check. I sounds like you're probably correct on this one, but I'm sure Andy would say right, and obstruction is a matter arising from the investigation. Now. I think it's not happenstance that it's

a matter of arising between investigation. I think that that was the plan all along. But see your point. Also, Laura writes, I'm with you on the burke Keeny No, just no, I work way too hard for summer to wear that. And as for playlists, I have a tum but what kind of music and what kind of workouts? You know, I'm just looking for like stuff. See here's

the problem. Whenever I ask for somebody to give me workout music, they're like, I've got great music uc DC and I have the Tiger and guys, I've got all that covered, all right. I'm looking for stuff that's like a little more current. I don't want stuff from the seventies to work out too per se and ever classic rock, I got all the classic rock already. I'm looking for music from the last you know, five to ten years that will get you psyched up for a workout, mostly

weightlifting not I don't really do cardio. I know I probably should. People will book do cardio, yeah whatever, yeah, whatever, you do your own cardio. I do cardio, just not necessarily in the gym, walking to the grocery store. Get your mind out of the gutter. Come on, producer, Mike, you know you know how I roll. David Riots, Hey, Buck, your movie quote was clear and President Danger. Yeah, David, you're correct, it was clear in President Danger. Good job,

Sean afternoon, Buck just a quick quip. The beard has turned your appearance into that of an Irish pirate. Shield's Hi, Matie, Well it is, I do go a. I got a big red beard now, so I'm kind of I'm getting used to it, you know, I'm sort of leaning it into this beard thing. Beardy mcbeard Beard. James, here's a

good question for you. A friend and I were trying to find out if it is constitutional for a sitting senator who is running for president to be able to take part in the Russian investigation, or any other senator or a congressperson who was running for president. We tried to look online for info, but no luck shields Hie from w G y up in Koble Skill in New York. So you're asking me if a sitting senator can take

part in the Russian investigation. Yeah, James, I don't think there's any prohibition on a member of Congress conduct any any of their constitutionally mandated duties, including oversight, just because they're also going to be running for president. Now, is there a conflict of interest there? Of course, But there are plenty of people that hold elected office that then run for something else, and I'm not aware of any

prohibition on that. But then again, one of the fun things about this show is that I learned new things from all of you all the time. So if there's a legal or constitutional scholar out there who wants to tell me that I'm way off on this one, Sampson Nite, I was way off. Is it even going to get that one? We'll see. Please do right and let me know, Mike. Another from wgy Land and Upstate New York. For some odd reason, I can't figure out how to post on

your page, so I message you here. But it seems the volume on your podcast is very low. I can barely hear you. You know, what's going on with that? Do we know, producer, Mike? Is this a real thing? Is our podcast not? You know? Mark? Do we have a problem with our podcast volume? Has that been happening? I don't people keep complaining about this. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think it is, but we'll look until its for sure. Ah Man killing me here, Producer, Mike, what

do you do for Cardio? And remember it's a family show. Yeah, I walk my dog. That's right. How's Cash doing? He's doing good? Yeah? He actually he runs me. He's got way more energy than I do, so I usually wind up. I'm like the guy in the cartoon who's like the dogs running and he's pulling his owner along. That's me with cash. I got you, Kevin writes buck Love the show and the Beard very on, pointing out about Bar and the moronic liberals trying to attack his character. It

was an absolute disgrace. Had my blood boiling. I don't have a question, but I've a request. Can you do more? Bro? Cuomo? Do you even lift bro? Impressions? There was always happy rolling and cheer me up. She'll tell and go team block Kevin for you? Kevin, of course, Man, do you even lift Bro? Do you even know who my brother was? Governor of New York? Look at these pecks. Yeah, we can do more of that for you. We can make

that happen. Let's see here, Scott, he know, Scott? Is it just me or conservatives constantly having to defend against arguments we're not making. I wish I could remember the article that prompted this question, but I'm reminded of the Parks and rec episode in season seven where Leslie goes on a tirade about all the questions she's tired of hearing female politicians asked every time. I'm left wondering who has seriously asked any of these questions the last forty

years Shields High Scott. People love to just create strawman and then tear them down. It makes you feel big and tough and strong and all that stuff. So I mean I hear you on all that. Yep, I don't know about these questions that Leslie Nope was asked. I'd have to go back and watch that episode again. But Parkson rec's a great show, a little liberal, but Ron Swanson kind of balances it out. So and just skip season one, just go right to season two. All right, team,

that is going to be it. From the Freedom Hunt. For this wonderful episode of the Buck Sexton Show, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I'm sure that at least some of you did, so that's always good news. Tomorrow is a freestyle Friday, already planning a fantastic show, so, as is my custom, I will be talking to you then coast to coast, speak English, Buck across the country. She'll tie
