You are entering the freedom hunt. The showdown between Trump and the Democrats at the border continues to heat up. There's now a supplemental funding bill that's supposed to help the crisis. Democrats seem to be balking at it. What's this all about? BLUs? Will Trump strike Iran? Does he have the right asked commander in chief to strike around
without congressional approval. Jesse Smollett video is out showing the new still around his neck when cops show up, and oh, that's right, the latest Trump accuser seems like she is not of sound mind. That a more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're a greater America Again the buck
Sexton Show begins. Former CIA analysts. Remember the Democrats don't want to sign anything, and now I think they're going to probably sign this. From what I understand, it's I call it humanitarian aid. This isn't even about border. At the same time, you see the numbers of way way down. Mexico has been really helping us a lot. They have
very strong immigration laws. They are moving fifteen thousand people or sixteen thousand people to our southern border, and they move sixteen thousand troops to their southern border, which is pretty incredible. And a lot of signs are coming out with the cartels and all of the bad folks, the coyotes as they call them, and all of the bad people that are bringing young children and taking advantage horribly. It's a form of slavery. It's horrible what they're doing
to young children. A lot of that is stopping now because of what we're doing and because of what's happening on the border. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. The board order is at the center of the national conscious right now. We are focusing in on this thing. Conscience and consciousness. Actually those were both work. We're focusing in on this because the photos are coming out from journalists who are visiting the different detention facilities where there are
children being held. The Democrats are demagoguing this issue as hard as they possibly can. You have, for example, Representative Jeffries claiming that this is a Trump manufactured crisis. Oh, that's right. Trump is the reason that all of these people from Central America are showing up at our southern border. To game the system, lie and get into the country, and then evade immigration enforcement once they're here. Play clip twenty.
This is a crisis was manufactured by Donald Trump to feed the xenophobic beast that he has unleashed on the American people. And we need to end it because there is no decency as a nation to have these children being subjected to these horrific conditions. Does he really think that that Trump is the reason for this. It started before Trump was even president. Their first surge of unccompanied
miners happened during the Obama years. In fact, the first cages as they call them for children, were built back under the Obama years. Some of these facilities. When and some of the photos that have been circulating on social media, they say, oh, look out terrible it is under Trump. Well, it turns out that some of those photos were from the Obama era, and you would think that that would maybe change the narrative that they put forward a little bit.
But now this is all about finding a moral high ground from which they can spit down on the Trump administration and harangue and harass and browbeat any independent voters into thinking that voting for Trump is a horrible thing to do. Oh, by the way, Trump reminded everyone that it was in fact Obama that started this or where this whole thing started with the family separation the border and children showing off and unaccompanied miners play clip three.
And it's been that way for a long time or something. And President Obama built the cages. Remember when they said that I built them, and then it was nineteen fourteen, it was twenty fourteen. Just listen for one second, separation, President Obama. I took over separation. I'm the one that put it together. What's happened though, are the cartels and all of these bad people they're using the kids I heritage separation from President Obama. President Obama built They call
him jail cells. They will built. Talk about the opening. Now your administration are not doing the recreation. You're not even schooling these kids anymore. You've gotten rid of all. We're doing a fantastic job under the circumstances. The Democrats aren't even approving giving us money. Where is the money? Do you know what? The Democrats are holding up the humanitarian aid? Democrats don't want this problem to go away.
That is obvious. Anyone can see that. They don't view the end result of it, illegal immigrants being released into the country never to be seen again. Most likely they will be that is a problem, and they think that what's happening right now at the border allows them to drown out and shout down anyone who points out that the Democratic Party is now an open borders party. That's where we are now. You want to talk about sanctuary city policy. Oh, look what Trump did at the border.
He's running concentration camps, they say. You want to talk about a million illegals filtering into the country, lying breaking the law in one year. Oh, how terrible. Look what's going on with family separation at the border. You want to talk about the resources that are being expended in order to try and process this massive surge, and what this means for the rule of law, what this means for our legal immigration system, for people who are wait, oh,
how dare you? What about all the children being separated at the border. This is what it turns into. This is now the favorite talking point. This is the issue that the left cares about at the expense of all other immigration related issues. And let's not forget that this is all the doing of people who are showing up knowing what's going on. You know that they have this sense in the media that all these people they're they're just they're fleeing this violence in Hondred. This is a lie.
They're not fleeing violence in Honduras, they're not fleeing violence in El Salvador. They're fleeing poor countries with crappy economies that they don't want to be in anymore. And they want to be in America. They want to get access. And this is oh, you know, you have to keep pushing libs on this stuff because a lie. They'll say, illegal immerants don't get welfare benefits. Well, that's not true.
If there's one US citizen i e. An anchor baby or another US citizen who's in a household and there is an illegal living there, I guess what they benefit from the welfare that that one person is getting. And then there was an effort recently to try to change the formula of how much they would get so they wouldn't get benefits anymore. And the Libs freaked out about it because they know that they're getting and that's just the legal method of getting benefits. If you're if you're
an illegal immigrant. At every turn, he or they say things. The Left is full of lies on immigration. The caravan won't make it to the border. The caravans will stop soon. The caravans are full of people that are that are claiming asylum, who aren't breaking the law when they come into the country. They care, you know, they just lie after there's no crisis at the border. They just at every turn what they say is false. They'll show up for their court hearings, No they won't. We'll deport them
when they don't show up for their court hearings. No, we won't. How can you have a discussion with a political party that has shown itself to be so cynical and so dishonest on this major issue. I don't know. I don't know how we can reach across and work with them on this. We have no common ground. We are now at a place where the question you must ask any Democrat is what is the downside? Don't tell me that illegal is illegal, and I'll lack like illegal
means it's bad because they don't care. What if the downside of illegal immigration? Ask them to explain that to you. Drain on resources in schools or hospitals, No, they don't agree with that violating our sovereignty and overwhelming our ability to in certain communities assimilate newcomers. No, they don't agree with that adding to crime, even if it's only a small percentage of the overall population. No, they don't agree
with that taking jobs from people that are in this country. No, they don't agree with that adding to the welfare roles and burdening the American taxpayer. I don't know, you know, just go. No, they don't agree with any of that. They will Democrats will not accept that there's any downside
of legal immigration. So then why not have the courage of their convictions come forward and just say we do not believe that anybody should be excluded anymore unless they're like a doctor from a country that you know, has a pretty high GDP and really widespread electricity and indoor plumbing. Like, we don't want that. We want people that are coming here who are impoverished, don't speak English, no connection to
American cult culture, and just they're just going to show up. Essentially, Democrats have a preference for the Third World over a merit based immigration system. Okay, well, where does that lead us? And why is that a good. How about this? Why is that a good idea? In what way does that benefit the people already here? Of all races and all backgrounds. America is a very diverse place. We take it. A
million legal immigrants a year. We are far and away the champion of the world when it comes to legal immigrants living in our country. Nobody else even comes close to us in terms of numbers. But it's never enough. You know, you say that, hey, a million illegal aliens come into the country and this year that feels like a bad idea. You're a bigot, you're a bad person. Okay, what about ten million illegal Why don't we Where does
it stop? Democrats have no answers. This is lawlessness. I mean, we've finally we've reached the end stage year of the Democratic Party and immigration where this is the last election where they will not be openly for open borders. What will happen if they get power in this next election is they will say, all right, now it's time for the amnesty. And once the amnesty is locked in, then they'll just say all right, you know, everybody, everybody who wants to come from south of the border, show up,
just go for it. We'll find a place for you. You're the lifeblood of the American economy. In fact, you're you're better than Americans if you're not American. This is this is the standard talking point. You do the jobs Americans won't do. You're more law binding than Americans are. You are necessary for you know, bringing up our demographic numbers. You know, without you were a negative, you know, population replacement. So you know, then the illegal aliens coming to the
country are better than Americans. This has now become a Democrat party talking point. And Democrats accept this because they have you know, a lot of Democrats have all this white guilt, and they've got all this virtue signaling they have to do, and they just sign on for this stuff. We're running out of room here to pretend that the Democrats or anything other than what I've just said. I don't know how much longer are they're gonna be able to hold out this sham that they really do want
enforcement of the wall. We'll be playing some some soundbites for you of people like Nancy Pelosi just make it clear that they do not want the law to be enforced. And that's another place where you can just you can as sure as you know day follows night, or as it night follows day, at any stage of the enforcement process, Democrats will either openly oppose it. For for legal immigration issues, either openly oppose it or stone wall foot drag and make sure that nothing can be done. There is no
third option. They are not in favor of this anymore. They went through and you might say, well, back, hold on a second, during the Obama years, weren't they deporting weren't they deporting a large number of people? There was a very clear plan that they were going forward with essentially what had been continuous policy, which they were deporting
people could come into the country. But it was all so that Obama would be would be criticized as the deporter in chief on the one hand, while on the other hand, trying to push for a comprehensive quote comprehensive immigration reform deal which was just mass amnesty for eleven million, probably more like fifteen or twenty million people. And that's that's ballgame. After that, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how many people you think you're deporting or we're going
to deport, because you're going to stop deporting anybody. Then it's then it's done. Look at what happens in these cities. Look at how the political character has changed of San Francisco and Los Angeles and Chicago and New York. They are openly defying federal law enforcement requests for assist for information. They are obstructing federal law And anybody who didn't do that in any of those cities who is an elected official would lose their job, no question. And they know
that it's a big problem. Look immigration, Trump beat the Republican field in large part because of his stance at immigration. This is the biggest fight he's got on his hands right now. And we're not winning this one yet, not even close. And he's definitely gonna need four more years to follow through on many of the major promises he made an immigration. But the Democrats, they're just so dishonest
on this. I get exasperated with all their lies, with Pelosi and Smarmy Schumer and this whole crew and the CNN and MSNBC and all these pundits and all these people that just they either don't know what they're talking about, or they know what they're saying is bullcrap, and they don't care because it's of the agenda. The agenda is open borders. The agenda is open borders. We'll be right back. The truth is they don't want to get anything done. The Democrats use the race bait, so they are only
using this for identity politics. So they're going to people of Hispanic descent, and then they're saying, all of you, guys, we're helping all of you. The Republicans are bad. Trump is bad. They're they're trying to demonize Trump. If you watch the language and the rhetoric that comes from the left, it's scary, really, and you know, hopefully over time people of Hispanic descent will will understand that the Democrats are only using them. They're not actually trying to help them.
If they were trying to help them, they would have passed a bill already. Commerson Newness gets it. He's correct. I mean I was saying, it's pretty obvious, isn't it. This is all about identity politics. It's all about the Democrats keeping this issue as just a club with which they can shamelessly beat the Republicans, who are meanwhile trying to do what they can to stop this crisis from going right. But they don't, you know, Democrats are standing
aside crying out how the house is on fire. Republicans are saying, all right, let's let's send in the firefighters, let's turn on the hoses. And Democrats are running over and you know, cutting the hoses and kicking the firefighters and then saying, why can't you deal with the crisis, Why can't you make this problem with the border go away? Well be a lot easier if we had some partners in this matter, wouldn't it. Now we've got the Democrats
finally getting shamed into some kind of action on this. Well, when do you ever find Democrats not wanting to spend four point five billion dollars of taxpayer money other than the military. Obviously they don't want to, you know, that's where they draw the line. Additional funding for the military Democrats get very worried about. But here we've got political reporting that Speaker Pelosi has an eleventh hour deal in place with progressives in the Congress on an emergency border
spending package. This just went up right before we came on air, avoiding an embarrassing intra party split and ensuring the bill's passage. Top Democrats made several tweaks at the contentious four point five billion dollar border funding bill just hours before be considered on the floor. All right, so this thing is probably gonna get considered. It hasn't gone through yet, but it looks like they have four point five billion of emergency spending that will avert a funding
lapse at the Federal Refugee Office. So it has to be reconciled though with a sentence version before it can come. All right, So there's something going on here. But this is only because everyone says. Okay, Democrats, you complain about this all day, all the time. You act like this is the worst thing ever. Some of your members are calling them concentration camps. The border patrol is overwhelmed. This is not their job. They're not supposed to deal with this.
You know, I'm a lot of you live in very spacious homes. If I sent a thousand refugees to your house, things would get pretty pretty tough pretty quickly, right, I mean, just not enough floor space, not enough bathrooms, not enough food doesn't make you a bad person. You weren't expecting a thousand refugees. You got a house that you're living in. These border patrol stations are not meant for a mass migration of children, and that's what they're being put through.
But it's all demagoguery, power politics and lies from the Democrats. A little more on Pelosi's enforcement priorities, then we'll talk about the Iran situation. Will Trump strike Jesse Smollett is a complete moron. We've got things to discuss. Stay with me. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back. When I saw that if the president was going to have these rays, I mean, it was so appalling. It's
outside the circle of civilized human behavior. It will be kicking down doors, splitting up families, and the rest of that. In addition to the injustices that are happening at the border. We have legislation to go forward to address those needs. But in terms of interior enforcement, what is the you know, what's the point? You know, well, I won't even go into what the motivation might be for that. You just heard her say it, folks. I'm not making her say this.
That's Nancy Pelosi. In terms of interior enforcement of our immigration laws. What's the point here? You have the most powerful Democrat in the country, number three in line for the presidency, the speaker of the House of Representatives, saying, why should we even enforce immigration laws at all? What's the point? Point? We'll see what I've been saying to you about the the the single question that tells you everything you need to know. It's true. They don't think
anything is wrong. They don't think there's anything bad about illegal immigration. They like illegal immigration. They've had a shift in their party entirely. They used to say, oh, it was a problem to be managed, but they're kind of aut now they're just like, bring it on. The more illegals, the better. In terms of interior enforcement, what's the point that is what Nancy Pelosi said? You heard her say it. I don't know, Nancy, because it's the law, because if
you don't enforce it, then nobody will obey it. Yeah, it's just it's just stunny, you know. In terms of laws against burglary, what's the point. They've already stolen this stuff. You're never gonna get it. Why should anybody get in trouble? What's the point? Oh, here's a better one. In terms of tax evasion, what's the point? I'm sorry, does anyone want to try to make the case that if you or I as individuals didn't pay our taxes, it affects anyone or anything in the United States. No, it doesn't
it I don't know. I mean some of you might make a whole lot of money. I don't, but I'm telling you it's not gonna matter even if you're really rich. So then why enforced that law? Why break up families? When you send someone to prison for tax fraud, you break up a family. This is Nancy Pelosi, I mean just speaking. This is what she really thinks. This is who she really is. And then on deportation, here's Nancy play five. So and that is really kind of what happened.
He can't he didn't say what he was going to do, but he's the president said, oh, you know, I'll let you know. And then two, well, people broke the laws. A violation of status is not a reason for deportation. That's just not. So that is as wrong as wrong, yets Nancy Pelosi. If there is such a thing as wrong. What Nancy Pelosi just said there is wrong. If you are in the country illegally, you are subject to deportation. Period.
That is the law. That's the way it is. This isn't you know, hey is the voting age eighteen I don't know. Maybe it is. Maybe no, it is. It's eighteen, right, you gotta be eighteen to vote. I know Democrats want to make it twelve so they can get you know, toddlers to vote for them if they can. But it's eighteen. There's no wiggle room, there's no There are some things that just are and to be in this country illegally is to be subject to deportation. Under law, a violation
of status is not a reason for deportation. Wow, they're just saying it now. They're just telling you what they really think. Now it's all coming out. They're not trying to hide it the way they used to or to obfuscate or to play games. Now it's just, oh, yeah, we don't want there to be any enforcement of these laws. And then on the border supplement bill that now Pelosi may have some agreement with the looney tunes progressives in
her own party to get something through. Remember this is Republicans. This is the Trump administration saying, hey, we got to get four point five billion down there, because no one is disputing that these facilities are not meant for this and that they are overwhelmed. But there are only two options here just release release children, just say all right, just go, you know, have fun in America. Hopefully someone finds you, or hold them until we know what's going on.
And the first thing would just be open borders, right, That's what it's at least open borders for kids. And then oh, just think about the stories if something bad happened to a child that hadn't been they hadn't vetted whether they're going to be released into a true family or you know, it's just they're always gonna they're gonna trash border patrol. They're gonna trash immigrations and customers and for us. But they say abolish ice. They're already saying
this stuff. But here's what Pelosi says about the Border supplement Bill, the Emergency funding Measure Place six. It's for the children, the children and children. It's about lifting them up in a way that takes them beyond what we do today. This is a very strong first step for us, very strong first step for us for the children. It's very exciting. It's all about the kids. You see. Those of you who have been part of Team Buck for a long time know that what is one what are
my rules for politics? Always when someone tells you they want to do something just for the children. Be suspicious, Oh, it's just for the children, it might be you should be suspicious when a politician says it's for the benefit of the kids. Ask questions. Trust me, Nancy Pelosi is not first and foremost concerned with what's happening to these
children at the border. What she cares about is what does all this mean, How is this affecting public perception, and how will that affect the votes that will be cast in the next election. Because Pelosi wants to keep being speaker. That's the first thing. All the calculations stem from that. Everything else's noise. And then you just have Democrats who are crazy. Well, there are a lot of that.
There's a lot of that going on. Governor Insley, who is among the least notable and recognizable of a legion of Democrat candidates for the presidency at this point or for the nominational least for the Democrat Party. Here's what he You know, he had a novel way of maybe trying to fix this. This is just this is this is this is I don't know how much more completely off the wall this is going to get, but this is getting close. That's right. The problem at our southern border.
It's not that America is a rich country with a very a very robust, trillion dollar welfare state. You know, that's not why people want to come here. It's not because we have a strong job market. No, No, it's climate change. Everything. These people on the left can find a way to make anything about climate change. Everything is about climate change. They are just completely delusional about this play nineteen. You do that once you've remove Donald Trump?
What's there will continue to be an issue on the southern border. What will you do about it? We will follow the law which is to allow people to have asylum requests. We will provide humane treatment for them and not separate children from their parents, which is both inhumane
and I believe illegal. We will also importantly confront the causes of this immigration, one of which is we have climate refugees now because the climate crisis is making Central America uninhabitable for large parts of people, and Donald Trump keeps calling this a climate hoax. We have climate refugees, and we have to help give a chance for those people to stay in their ancestral homeland. How exactly do we have climate refugees? Does someone want to try to
take a stab at this one. Climate refugees. Now I thought it was their fleeing violence. Now this is laughable until you realize where this could very quickly go. Oh that's right. You know what comes next. Anyone anywhere in the world, if they start, if the Democrats can latch onto this and get some get some momentum behind this.
Anyone anywhere in the world, any third world, you know, impoverished country with tremendous dysfunction and corruption, Central America, Southeast Asia, you know, you name it, sub Saharan Africa, somewhere or whatever it is. Anywhere in the world where's tremendous dysfunction and poverty. You know what, they'll be able to say, Oh, I'm going to claim asylum because I'm a climate refugee. Right now, maybe that wouldn't fly, give it time. They
will absolutely go for this. It makes perfect sense, doesn't it. If they think the world is ending because a climate change, it's our fault. What better way to get what they want to shine a light on climate change as this existential threat than to say that, oh, see, these people are fleeing their home, their their native lands because of climate change. They'll say this with a straight face, and you're supposed to look at them and not think that
they have been smoking some really potent stuff. This is where we're heading. We're gonna we're gonna enter a phase now, I believe where it's going to be climate refugees that we're told about, and that we have to open our borders to the Third World because the reason that they have a drought or you know, they have a bad crop or whatever it is, is because of all the
cot we put in the air. So you see, we owe it to them to take them in because we're the cause of the refugee crisis globally when any whenever someone move, wants to move from their country. Now it's oh, my country is poor because of climate change, which America is the America caused. I know, to a rational person, it just sounds so absurd. You've got a Democrat candidate for the presidency who's already saying it. Others will say it too. This is they're they're living in this delusion.
But it's a delusion that's very dangerous because it gives them a tremendous amount of power. And but just remember this, Pelosi wont enforce immigration laws, doesn't want enforce immigration laws. Everything else is just noise. We'll be right back. I like the idea of keeping Congress abreast, but I wouldn't have to do that. Sure Nancy Pelosi actually said you must have Congressional approval. So you disagree with her on
I disagree. I think most people seem to disagree, but I do keeping them they have ideas that intelligent people, they'll come up with some thoughts. I actually learned a couple of things the other day when we had our meeting with Congress, which were I think helpful to me. But I do like keeping them abreast, but I don't have to do it legally. President saying he can hit her on if he wants to, and this president, if he believes that's the course that he should take, he'll
do it. When he says all options are on the table, he means it. He also understands that he does not want to use the option that takes life on any side unless that's really what must be done. And I think we should be thankful that we have a commander in chief who've used his role as such. You know, there was a lot of very unsettling raw jingoistic weirdness around Obama and the drone strikes. Ye, I don't know if you remember who's it was like Obama was on
Mount Olympus throwing down lightning bolts at the evildoers. That's the way the media treated it. And then you know we found out that well, actually drone strikes, Yeah, they can be very effective as they're a tool, not a strategy, but there there can be collateral damage from don't drone strikes just like any other strike, and becoming true reliant on them means that you are going to rack up a body count of bodies that you don't want to have.
But the rules all change. This is we live in a society now where the did the primary determination about anything isn't whether it's right or wrong, whether it breaks the rules or not. But the left mind has become one that has overtaken with the overarching purpose, and that
means more than anything else. So if if it helps Obama, it doesn't matter what rules were broken, or doesn't matter what standards have to be pushed aside, it is good if it hurts Trump today as opposed to when Obama is president, then it has to be good if it hurts Trump. It must be a good thing. Doesn't matter what rules, doesn't matter that judgment based in facts, based in pre established norms and standards, That cannot be the primary consideration. Not for the left. Two sets of laws,
two sets of rules. You see it with the Muller probe, with Hillary Clinton, with judging Trump's foreign policy, with judging you know, just everything. It's always hypocrisy from the left, always two sets of rules. But I do think that Trump has an understanding of what's at stake right now. It's not just the you know, bad news cycle that he'll get at with any given decision. He knows this
is real war and peace stuff. This matters the decisions he makes here, and this could lead into a whole array of options that we very desperately want to avoid. Now they've announced new sanctions yesterday, sanctions that even go after some of the very top members of the Iranian regime. The Iranians, unsurprisingly are upset about this. Here is Hassan Rohani. Remember they used to say that this guy was a moderate,
That's what they used to say. Yeah, sure, here's Hassan Rohani talking about well, really just mocking our White House play sixteen Tavon the White House actions mean it's mentally retarded. Didn't you say you want to negotiate. Well, if you were telling the truth, really want to negotiate, you would not put sanctions on our foreign minister. At the same time, this shows you're full of lies. Now, I know that Iran has a culture with a lot of negotiation that
goes on. You have the bizarre culture, Souk culture in Arabic. You have you know, a lot of merchants and exchange of goods and commerce, and this is this is a part of the culture stretching back a very long time because of Iran's place as on the spice roots and as a center of trade and all these different so they understand at some level what negotiation means. And no, in fact, it does make sense to use leverage in a negotiation when you have it. The Trump administration's position
is very straightforward. In fact, it's so straightforward that you think, how could this not have been the position of the administration before it. We've got you Iran economically, you are being strangled. We're not saying, we're not telling you that you can no longer exist as a country. We're not even saying you have to change your government. We're just saying you have to change the following things. No more nuclear weapons and a way that we can ensure that
will not happen. No more support of terrorist regimes or terrorist entities throughout the Middle East, no more ballistic missile program, and stop being essentially Iran, stop being crazy. If Iron stops being crazy, then they can get the sanctions lifted and start making some money and everything can be okay. But we're in a position to force them to do this.
That's the whole point. The Obama administration seemed to think that the point of the sanctions was to get to get them annoyed enough that they're willing to sit down with us, And then the whole point was just to get a deal. Even if it's a bad deal. It's not the way this was supposed to go. It's not the way this was supposed to happen. I hope there is no strike, but if the Iranians go beyond the enrichment levels that were laid out in that deal, deal
or no deal doesn't matter. If they go beyond those enrichment levels and we know it, that could be a strike. And if there's a strike. I don't know where this thing goes. I do not want war with Iran, but I also know that there are some folks as administration who don't feel the same way. I will be completely honest. I will disclose my personal stake in this fight because I have student loans too, and I think it's so funny.
A year ago I was waiting tables in a restaurant and it was literally easier for me to become the youngest woman in American history elected to Congress than it is to pay off my student loan. Dat so that should tell you everything about the state of our economy and the state of quality of life for working people. She really is an airhead. She is. I mean, she's not the dumbest woman in Congress. That could very easily be Maisie Herono or Maxine Waters. You know, there's a
few that are certainly up there. But she's close. She's close. She's a talented rabble rouser and talking points machine. That's she does have ability, I'm not saying that. And she has a story and a presentation, a personal presentation that the Left is almost obsessed with. But she is not an intellectual. My friends, and when she says things like it is easier when Ocasio Cortez as it is easier to become a member of Congress than to pay off
my student loans. That's like me saying, you know, it is it is easier for me to walk down the street than it is for me to walk down another street. Like what this is? What does that even mean? What are you saying? These things have nothing to do with each other. They have nothing to do with each other. How how could you assess the you know, it was harder for me to go to the gym this morning than it was for me to apply to college twenty
years ago. I mean, what this is stupidity. This just doesn't But it's just it sounds when she's saying, and she thinks that it sounds good. You know, she talked about because she's the youngest one record history could elected
to Congress paying off her student loan debt. Now she makes one hundred and basically one hundred and seventy thousand, I forget what the exact number is for member of Congress, which is very nice salary for somebody who's making a lot more money at her age than I did, that's for sure. And yet I made the decision not to take on student loans because I didn't want to have to pay them off. I didn't want to have to deal with student loan debt. Now, some people only have
to deal with that at the college level. Some people are at the graduate school level. Other people have to deal with at the college level. But you know, there has to be skin in the game here for people, There has to be a personal interest in good decision making. And you see this, this is one of the the underlying and foundational falsehoods of contemporary liberal thinking and the
liberal approach. The leftists in government, they're always trying to tell you that if they take choice and responsibility away from you, you will be safe from all the bad things. So if they make the decisions for you, no bad things will happen. That is the promise that That is the fundamental falsehood of the leftists in America, of the progressive and increasingly, let's just say, what is of the
socialists in this country. These people are socialists. They can't get us to socialism tomorrow, but they want to get us to socialism in five, ten, who knows how many years? That's the end goal. Line up, what a socialist agenda would look like they're for all of it. I think this is a great idea. They're all about it. But if we have people that are being told you get to go to college and somebody else will pay for it, then what incentive is there for anybody to not go
to college? Right? And then you start to say, well, hold on a second, what also do we do for the people who currently didn't take out loans, which is two thirds or two thirds of people don't go to undergraduate finish undergraduate programs in this country? Do they get some kind of check in the mail? Are they supposed to subsidize the educations of people that wanted to take out loans? I told you I looked at this choice. I looked at loans and loans and loans for as
far as the eye could see. Or a job. I took a job. I had this in front of me. Now, if someone had said, oh, buck, run up two hundred thousand dollars a debt and we'll just pay it off for you, what I have probably taken the Maybe I mean the Blaze was an interesting company when it started, and I thought I should go work there. But maybe I would have taken that deal someone else is paying for. You're getting a service. It's the education is a service.
To say that an education is a right. Now we get into the the the foreseeable problem of the you have a right to everything mentality right. So, I mean, at first you have the government removing choice from you and telling you that if you as long as you don't have to make any decisions, you'll be fine. As long as we make the decisions for you, things will be better for you. That's part one, right, And then
you get Okay, now they're making the choices. Now the government has the power to determine things like okay, school is going to be free, how much school, how much college? Four years? What about grad programs? That's under the under the Sanders plan, which is just the you know, Manna from Heaven total fantasy land program. Under the Sanders Plan, people with with p HD debt will get that paid off. Let me let you a little secret, which I know from professors, or that I know from professors that I
became close with when I was in college. Most PhD programs are kind of crap. Most PhDs in the humanities are just an excuse to hyper specialize in that area. Of humanity so that you can teach it at a university. Well, there are not that many humanities university position. First, they don't open because people get tenure and they never want to leave, and it's not that high in demand. Is this is not I was gonna say, this is not rocket science. This is not rocket science. Rocket science pays
reasonably well. Engineering math, the stem stuff pays reasonably well. It's not I could be a millionaire and there's no clear path. The world has become so much more competitive, and that's another part of this that we're just starting to wrap our minds around the fact that you're not competing anymore with just people who live in your area for certain jobs, especially when you get into more competitive markets and markets that are uh jobs that have a
true global marketplace for them. Anything you're doing, people say, oh, learn to code, Okay, yeah, learn learn to code. That's easy. Of course, if you say that to journalists, you get kicked off Twitter. Yeah, learned to code, that'll, that'll solve all the problems. Um, do the people who say that realize that you're going to be competing against coders from Beijing, Mumbai, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro you name it. Did the people that you know say that realize that this work can be
and it's not even really outsource. It can be done by people all over the world. And the digital work and information based work is more competitive than it has ever been because it is more open to people than it has ever been around the world. And that has pressure on this and you know, there's there's a lot
of changes going on right now. You know, we we have we look back at what's going on with student loans and college and the American I mean, the American hydrocasing system is very in the span of human history. This is a blip on the screen. You know, this is very very short. We don't even have much of a track record to speak of. You're it's changed dramatically, right It used to be all male and now it's
co ed, and they've changed a lot of it. What makes anyone think that we have the system that we're supposed to have right now? Anyway, if you ask me just realistically, is four years of undergraduate necessary, I would say no, it should be two. It's high school and then you should do two years beyond that. And I think you should do a gap year and you might say, Buckle, who are you to come up with this? Well, I'm just telling you what I think. Where do this four
years come from? Why does anyone think that that's the way to do? You know, you look at European countries. They have different systems in European countries which the liberals are obsessed with. They track people and put them into different path so that only some people are gonna go try to get an advanced degree. They're not encouraging everybody to try to be a you know, a basket weaving major with a PhD and other kinds of weaving. I don't know, pottery or something. I know, I kind I
kind of lost it there for a second. I was sometimes when you reach for that that moment of clever and you just fall flat in your I just as I'm fond of saying, and old team buck knows this. Sometimes you're on ready you belly flop in the shallow end of the pool with a really nasty sunburn, and you know that just happens. See whenever I say that, though, you think about the time you did that when you were a kid, and you go, how you remember that was rough? You remember that was no fun? All right?
I've got more on the on the whole student loan daddy. Oh, I didn't get into this whole second part of so the one is that you don't. It's not about choice anymore and responsibility. Now the choice is obvious because you have no responsibility. Somebody else will pay for this for you. That's that's the way the Libs set this up. But then it's okay, how far does it go? When does it stop? What's enough? Is it the best schools? Is
it all schools? We've got more on this loan because look the loan story, even if you don't care that much about it, though, it's over a trillion dollars, So it's a lot of money, folks. This is this big money. It's not a little money. It's a big money. Uh. If you you dig into this more, you see this is really the heart of the whole pitch for twenty twenty for the Libs, for the Democrats. We're just gonna give you free stuff that other people are gonna pay for.
You're not gonna pay for it, somebody else will. Well, then when somebody else looks around and says, well, who's who's the somebody else? Aren't I to somebody else. Yeah, you are, that's what that's where the real problem is. You know, this is it's all the the the the root lie of the Bernie sandersism that has overtaken the Democratic Party is that there's tons of money out there for everybody to have everything they want. Only the rich fat cats who won't notice it being gone, will pay.
That's a lie. That's a lie. We have more on that lie though. In a moment, I was mentoring this girl that this young woman, her name was Andrea. She was about three or four years younger than me. She had gotten into all of these prestigious universities, but she was given no student loan assistance, no real students, She was given no scholarships. All of her student aid was presented to her in the form of loans. And she
came from a solid middle class family. She was not exceedingly wealthy, and so she really she got into her dream college. But her dream college offered her no scholarships, just loans. Her dream college. My friends, she got into her dream college. Who were we to refuse to pay for this woman that we don't know's dream college. Did
somebody get forced to pay for your dream college? Somebody get forced to pay for my dream NBA program that I didn't go to because it was too expensive, because the answer was no. Now, just like anything else, there is scarcity in higher education. There are not endless slots at Yale. They're not endless spots in the freshman class at Stanford. A lot of this is driven by you know, academic application stop, but also sports and minority status, and
there's all these other things that come into play. But higher education has become wildly expensive. If you ask any of you, I mean some of you who are listening to this know what I'm talking about because you're boomers and you deal with this. But you know, the tuition at elite schools forty years ago, fifty years ago was such that if you worked, you know, a summer job or two. I mean you, I'm not saying pay for all of it, but you make a dent in it
in a summer job. That the tuition at at ivy League schools back in the sixties was like a few thousand dollars a semester or a few thousand dollars a year. Was not a lot of money. I mean, you'd say buck, but it's in flat Yeah, but if you adjusted in today's dollars, it's still like fifteen thousand, maybe twenty thousand, it's not sixty thousand, which is where it is right now,
which is insane. And the schools are setting these prices, and you know they do all this building of these just these massive, really kind of narcissistic buildings, and these you know, these libraries and sports complexes and all these things. I wish they're spending more money, though it's not really
the libraries to spend the money. It's on the sports complexes and the dormitories, and it's it's all this stuff like you're supposed to go to four years of some you know, magical wonder camp where your every need is catered to. Is you're really just supposed to somewhere and study a bunch and read a lot. Which is also why I know people yell at me. I think athletic recruiting for colleges, for the most part, is insane. It's it's just makes no sense. These are not minor league
sports franchises. Who cares how good the sports teams are, oh book, But at schools, I know all of you who love your everyone, This is where I get booed by ninety percent of folks, But the ten percent who really listen to me know that I'm telling I'm speaking the truth. I'm not saying we can't have those teams. I'm just saying there should be a separate program where you get an education while you are a semi pro athlete out of college. It should not be this pretense
that they're student athletes just like everybody else. And now why anyway, that's a whole I know it's a whole other topic. I just jumped into it. Oh. I know who's gonna settle this for us though, The one voice of wisdom that we really need on this topic to make it all make sense. Iohan Omar is gonna bring
it all home for you, folks. Play nine. I stand before you on behalf of forty five million Americans, five million people who feel they can't purchase their first home, forty five million people who feel like they can't start a family, Forty five million people who have dreams of opening up a business or going to public service, but are held back by a mountain of debt. They are
the debt generation. We are told by some politicians that this debt is our fault that if we want to achieve the American dream, we have to lift ourselves up by our bootstraps. Well, we're here today to say student debt is not the result of pad choices or behavior. It is the result of a system that tells students to get an education and go to college in order to have a stable life, but then does not provide the resources to afford that education. Provide the resources they
say to afford the education. We also have a big social push in this country for homeownership. Is someone going to pay your mortgage? I'd like someone. I don't own a home. I don't know I'll ever be able to own a home. It's very hard to save money in New York or DC, very expensive to buy anything here. Does somebody else get to pay my mortgage? Because I'm in a society where if you're not a homeowner, you're really left out in a lot of ways. You're on a hamster wheel you can never get off of. Why
won't someone pay my mortgage? I don't understand. I have a human right to live in not just a house by the way, by AOC logic, my dream house. So I mean, I'm not that extravagant, folks, I'm not that crazy, Like I just you know, I'd like maybe a couple of acres Malibu, direct view of the ocean, small pool, you know, maybe fifteen by twenty and three, four bedrooms. I'm like, I'm talking, you know, eight ten mill maybe that's you know, come on, a taxpayer can that's a
rounding error for the taxpayer. That's my dream house, though I'm not talking about just a house. That's my dream house. I want someone to pay for my dream house. That's what AOC saying. Somebody should pay for the dream college. Now they created a system where anyone can pay for their dream college, but then they just have to figure
out a way to pay off that debt. And now they're saying, oh, well, you should be able to get that dream, that top level of whatever it is that you want, but not have to deal with the responsibility of an afterwards. Think about this logic applied to everything else. I'm not going to buy a responsible first car. I'm not gonna go get a Honda Civic. I'm gonna go buy a Maserati. It's my dream car. I deserve that.
Oh wait, but somebody else should pay for that because I mean, I think of how hard I work to be able to buy that Maserati. It just goes in a circle. This is the destruction of individual responsibility, and it is the enlarging of the state at the expense of individual responsibility, and the replacement of freedom with the promise that the state will hug you and keep you warm and safe and make all the problems go away.
This student loan issue, beyond the trillion plus dollars we're talking about, is really ultimately about the nature of citizen and state and the extent that the federal government can just determine what the market should bear. I was right again. Let's just say it. Let's just take a moment. I know you were with me on this team. I know you supported me on this, and I know you saw what I saw. But perhaps I should say we were right again. How many times do we go through this exercise.
Let's take a step back. The kavan auc users very beginning, I said, no, not buying it. This is all this a smear as a hit job. It's a lie, Jose Smalleett, not sorry, not buying it. This is a lie. It's a hate crime, hoax. No way when people really believed it. It's a national news store. I said, no, I'm not not with this. Sorry, doesn't wash. Doesn't make sense? How many times we go through this where the media believes something and we know they're wrong right away. Why are
we so much smarter? We, including a lot of you who are listening, have very busy lives, lots of stuff going on that you don't get to. You know, read newspapers for hours on en. I mean that's my job. I do this for hours on end. But we know, we know that this is crap. How is it that CNN doesn't know that it's crap? Why can't they figure oh, that's right, because they don't want to figure it out, because they don't want the truth, because they don't really care.
It's all about bashing Trump. E Jean Carol last week came out right when she's on a book tour, saying that Donald Trump viciously, criminally, feloniously ray uped her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store in New York City about
thirty years ago. She claims that she has a dress she's never worn since then, or some kind of a coat dress, and claims that this is what happened, and even putting aside all the things I said initially, and this is how I did, This is how I was taught at the CIA to analyze sources is there's there's a whole process. As an intelligence officer, you learn how do you try to verify? How do you try to figure out who you're dealing with because your source matters
so much, you're just you can't trust their word. You have to know more than just what they're presenting you. You have to have a context for it, and you have to validate information. I thought to myself, well, let's just step aside from what's clearly problematic right away, things like didn't tell anybody. She says she told two friends, but you know who knows, and she didn't tell the police.
This is thirty years ago. There's no way to verify whether she was even in the department store that day. There's no way for Trump to disprove this. It's a wildly reckless, possibly life and career destroying thing for Trump to do. Just it's so out of whack with what you would expect from a guy who is, you know, a playboy, but not somebody that has ever credibly in my opinion from what I have heard, and I might
be if I'm missing one. Let me know, has never credibly been accused of raping anybody, despite all this stuff, all this woman and that woman. Okay, if there's so many women coming out, what's the one that's really true, what's the one that we're supposed to say that one's the really believable ones? All this, you know, and they use sexual assault and rape interchangeably, which is not the same thing. You know, making a pass at a woman is not the same thing as actually and legally this
is true penetrating somebody in their general areas. This is their differences here that are always brushed over by the meeting. But step aside Mile for a second. I knew Egan Carol was crazy because she was sounding like a crazy person. Oh, I won't. I wouldn't bring charges against Trump because that would be disrespectful to the migrants at the border being raped. That's something that a crazy person would say. What has
nothing to do with the other. And she does a disservice to the real victims of sexual assault, to the real victims of rape, of whom there are far too many in America and around the world. By bizarrely politicizing what she claims was a horrible rape committed against her, which clearly did not happen, but as if that weird. And they're also saying that she wished this is the interview she had already done. And when I came up listened to the show yesterday, I'm not not credible. Don't
buy I don't. I don't believe this person. I think she's lying. And then she gave an interview where she said that she wished she had asked Donald Trump for his tax returns back then. Ha ha ha. Really 't make jokes about this. Victims of sexual assault, and I've spoken to the Almon victims of sexual assault that come forward with these with very serious allegations. It's a trauma. It's not a he he he. Let's make little political jokes about a thing. It's not something. It's not funny.
It's a crime. It's a crime that every red blooded American man knows is a disgrace to his manhood, to his decency, to his humanity. And yet in this instance, this woman is smirking making bizarre comments about this offers no real proof. I told you when they brought up the DNA and the on the coat. Oh you know, she didn't say, yes, you're right, that's a good idea. I should do that. She said, I don't know what we wouldn't you want to be able to prove this.
I if this should happened to a friend of mine, I would want to I would want to stand by her and you know, walk into the precinct with her and say let's get this guy right. Ah. But then last night the mask really slipped. It was already slipping, it fell off entirely. Oh and where did it occur? CNN?
Of course, CNN the place where if you bashed Trump, whether you're stealing from paraplegics like Avanati or you know, go down the line, all the slime balls that CNN will put on TV that bash Trump doesn't matter because it just serves their audience is full of lunatics who think that Trump really is this terrible human being that needs to be bashed at every second, all the time. But Anderson Cooper on his OsO Serious Journalism show had
eg and Carol on. I wouldn't have her on this show unless I was going to be able to interrogate her. And has her on, and they're being all treating her like she's just this and man, did they step in it last night at fake News rus A K A c N. And here's e Gene Carroll on the OsO Serious Anderson Cooper Show, play ten. I feel like a victim. I was not thrown on the ground and ravish, which
the word rape carries so many sexual connotations. This was this was not sexual for it just it it hurts it just what it just you know what, I think most people think of rape and as a I mean, it is a violent assault. To this note, I think most people think of rape as being sexy. Let's take a short break. Think of the fantasies. We've just take a quick break quick if you can Stagram and we'll talk. Martin on the other side of you're fascinating to talk to.
But the Enerson, he can't get to that commercial break fast enough. He can't hit the he can't hit the aboard button quickly enough. Get me out of your man. She just knuked the segment. She did, she nuked that segment. Quote. I think most people think of rape as being sexy. He panicked there, for Anderson Cooper had a moment a little panic there. It goes, oh my god, what has she done, because he knows she did it on his show.
That was a a giant manure pile that had just fallen from the sky atop the very prim and proper Anderson Cooper. She did it. I think most people think of rape as being sexy, think of the fantasies. She says.
She's supposedly recounting being sexually penetrated against her will by a effectively a stranger in a department store, and she's talking about how people think rape is sexy and think of the fantasies, and then tries to flirt with Anderson Cooper as he's desperately trying to bail out of the segments, as you know, you're really interesting to talk to, my friends. This is a person with problems, and not problems that have anything to do with Donald Trump or what he did.
This reminds me of when they put a very clearly disturbed and you know, having a look. I've talked to Sam Number before. He's a nice guy, but he was clearly in an altered state going on CNN, and they just put him on show after show after show, seeing how how much crazy he could do. CNN they're parasites on the human soul. Now, there's no decency in what they do, there's no honor in how they present themselves. They're just slime, desperate for importance and ratings and power.
They're just slime. Donald Trump is a husband, a father, a grandfather, president of the United States. They really have no problem with putting the equivalent of a crazy bag lady who was running around the street with a sign that says the world is ending tomorrow. I mean putting her on TV to say the presis the United States raped her thirty years ago, with no evidence, no proof,
and no corroboration. They think that that's journalism. This is why I have so much contempt for CNN as an organization. There are reasons for it. I think it is justified. In fact, I think it is increasingly necessary to have contempt for them. Why is it that you and I knew that E. G. And Carol was full of it, and now everyone's backing away from it. Oh, I don't know a little. Okay, maybe now let's move on to
the next one. Why did we know? Why did multi billion dollars CNN and the all these other newspapers that were covering this and giving her air time on their different on the different cable channels. Why couldn't they figure this out? But we could. Folks ask that question, and we all know what the answer is. The Supreme Will you put forward a nominee between now and the election if there's an opening out of Supreme Court? Would I do that? Of course, you have any recommendation. I have
a good list. I have a good list already chosen. I have a beautiful list of great, very talented people. Absolutely, But do you square that with Mark Garland? No. I have a lot of respect for Judge Garland. By the way, I have to tell you that Trump says he would feel a Supreme Court vacancy if one came up before
the twenty twenty election. This was an interview today. It was actually The Hill did the interview and my old friend and colleague Sagar and Jetty it was doing the interview there with a The Hill's White House reporter um and they ask about the twenty twenty election and the Supreme Court vacancy, which, look, I don't think that this is going to come up, but it is an interesting
exercise in what if. Because the election that we're heading into now is going to be I don't say that this is the most because every election is the most important election in your lifetime. And there's a lot of a lot of nonsense around us. The election that we are heading into in terms of the frenzy on the left and the amount of just psychosis that will be on display and the people that will be screaming at the sky and marching in the streets and saying that
Trump will literally destroy the world if he wins. Former years in office. I mean that it's gonna be like nothing we've ever seen before. Because remember when he was running against Hillary, Yes, they hated him, but they always thought that they were gonna get Like the joke was kind of on Trump the whole time because when the voting happened, Hillary was just going to crush him. And then all of his clownery and all of his nonsense, according to the Libs during the campaign, was just gonna
be that it was gonna be. You know what, We're a waste, right, what a joke this guy is. There's just no need to take him seriously at all. But then he one. So now you've had Trump in office. He will have been in office for three years. When this campaign is really in full swing, we get into the general election and Libs have completely lost their minds.
I mean, he broke them by winning the election and now has just continued to drive them deeper into the depths of insanity just by being president, and by being a pretty good president too. I mean, they won't ever admit that, but you and I know it's the case. Presidency's gone well. I have, you know, some complaints about it, but I would have complaints about any presidency. I mean, I'm not here to talk about perfection or just be a cheerleader for whoever's on my team, but overall it's good.
I'm also here to be objective and honest about what's gone well as much as I possibly can. And they hate Trump even more because it's going well. But I bring all this up because going into this election cycle that we all know will be blonkers from just in every way and the way that the left is going to set this whole thing up. It will be a constant series of hyperbole and crisis and the world is ending,
the sky is falling, anything anyone to stop Trump. Can you imagine, just for a moment, imagine that a liberal Supreme Court justice. We don't have to speculate as to who it is because we don't know. It doesn't matter any of the liberals on the Supreme Court, let's say, for personal reasons had to step sep aside, you know, for health reasons, had to step aside from that role. I don't know how the country would be able to I mean the Libs, I don't know how they'd handle it.
I think that there would be there would be people rending their garments and actually gnashing their teeth in the streets, like we're about to be hit by the space rock that would destroy all life. I mean, they would just completely lose it. And I know the arguments would be too. Oh were but Merrick Garland And there's this agreement about an election year. No, really, the agreement is that whoever
has got the votes has the votes. I think we should all stop this pretense that there are binding agreements that Senators and members of Congress make to each other about the rules that they just come up with. That's
not really the case, is it. Look this was all put in motion by Harry Reid, who decided that they were going to just start going bare knuckle to get judges through and people said at the time, Okay, if they're gonna go, if they're gonna go nuclear option, this is gonna become an arms race to get ideologically aligned judges on the bench, because we all know how important that is and how judges unfortunately play far too large a role in this country when it comes to policy
and lawmaking and everything else. They're supposed to interpret law that's supposed to make law. Judges make law a lot in this country. Well, with all that stuff going on, you can just imagine the arguments they'll make and how they'll say, oh, you know, Merrick Garland. They still refer to the Kavanaugh seat as a stolen, stolen Supreme Court seat, as if it was owed or given to or bequeathed
to Merrick Garland. And even seeing the recent decision that Gorsitch came down with the liberals to say that a gun a federal gun statute was too vague, which really
bothered a lot of the conservatives on the court. Seeing the conservatives when they really believe the law is a certain way, even if that's not how they're ideological leanings would take them, they will go with the liberals on the court Liberals tend to just be in lockstep on this stuff, on any important policy matter that doesn't commiss down at all. Anyway. This is my way of telling you that Trump's saying that he'll fill a vacancy before
twenty twenty doesn't mean all that much right now. But if we get to the point where this really happens, I don't know, it'll be the It'll be the ultimate shark Nado trumpethon world ending. I don't even know what you could call it. It would just it would be the craziest thing you've ever seen in politics. Because liberals will they've already lost their minds. So what's beyond losing their minds? What's what's crazier than totally nuts? That's where
the Libs would go. If a Supreme Court vacancy opened up between now an election day and Trump filled it, We'll be right back. President. Do not agree with their artitional parts, Like if Tenny sixteen couple again. They're a highly biased political machine um that is bent on never letting somebody like Donald Trump come to power again. Now,
my old organizations top of mind. They've been working on it since sixteen to make sure saying I love her, but she is very misguided, like that will not make all these slaughter that we do will be charged with preventing the next situation. That was a senior executive at Google who you might have heard there. I know the audio was a little tough for a second, but said that they want to make sure they don't have another Trump like situation. This is a senior Google executive name
Jen Jeni, and she is caught on audio here. This is all from Project Very Toss doing their undercover journalism. Jen Jeni of Google said the following. Elizabeth Warren is saying we should break up Google, and like, I love her, but she's very misguided, like that will not make it better. That will make it worse because all these smaller companies who don't have the same resource is that we do, will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation. It's
like a small company cannot do that. Gingini is the head of the responsible innovation part of Google. That's what it's called responsible innovation, which yes, indeed does sound like an Orwellian name for department. It's like the department of niceness and good people. Why do you have to call it that? Responsible innovation of Google that monitors and evaluates
the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies. And jen I goes on in this video which Project very Toss has posted today, and I believe I was seeing at least some chatter on social media suggesting that this was pull off of YouTube, which is owned by Google. So that's in a sense not surprising at all. But here's what here's what gingini on to say, quote, we all got screwed over in
twenty sixteen. Again, it wasn't just us, it was like the people got screwed over, the news media got screwed over, Like everybody got screwed over. So we're rapidly been like what happened there and how do we prevent it from happening again. We're also training our algorithms like if twenty sixteen happened again, would we have would the outcome be different? The algorithms are not neutral. Not only they're not neutral, the algorithms are trying to push an agenda. There are
human beings developing all these behind the scenes. These human beings are overwhelmingly progressive. They are left wing in their political ideology. They are working for companies that affect everything in your day to day life right now, all of the commerce that you're engaging in, all the communications, all the news, your email. I mean, maybe if you try really hard, you can avoid the reach of Google until you have to do an Internet search. And what are
you really gonna go? You gotta go to Yahoo or dogpile dot com, ask Jeeves dot com. I remember that people thought that was gonna be a really big deal. I remember the early days of the internet. Asked Jeeves. That was fun. Turns out that now Google has a huge dominant share of search, and that is power that
no other media company really has. When you type in anything you want to look up, the first hits that come up, and how it's presented to you and what is presented to you that determines what your interaction with information is A vast majority of the time. I forget what the statistics are, but this think about in your own data, their life. How often do you go to the second page of search results? I mean, unless you're
really drilling down on something. If you type in, you know, barbecue in Austin, Texas, whatever's on that first page is probably going to be what you're gonna go check out. I know a lot of your like buck, I'm a native in Austin because I'm listening on KLBJ and I do not need Google to tell me the best barbecue. All right, that's fine, But I'm talking about for us East Coast folk when we go out to visit, do
you then go deeper than the first page? Now, of course not, you go with whatever that Really it's the first few search results that most people focus on, and there's this assumption that whatever comes up is what should come up. And the truth is that, yeah, there's a lot of different metrics, and there's weighted averages and all this different stuff that goes into it, all this math
and fancy fancy engineering, mumbo jumbo and all that. Right, but at the end of the day, there are people involved in this, and you know, how much of this stuff do we have to see before we realize that the Saragee Bryn and the other senior Google execs, who are they basically having a public cry session after Trump won the election and all this other stuff that keeps popping up about search engine bias and shadow banning and
just there's so many ways to stack the deck. And the left is obsessed with this because I mean, I really do believe that when the arguments of the left are made as they are in real language that normal people can understand, not coded terms, and you know, oh it's all about choice. No, like, let's talk about what this really is. When the left has to make its case publicly and it can't hide, and it can't obfuscate, and it can't cheat, the American people will turn away
from it. But when the left can have a dominant position in the culture, in now, the platforms, in the information dissemination, in our day to day instantaneous communication systems, when the left can control all of that, think of what that means for their ability to push ideas and as importantly to suppress ideas. Think about what that means when they can determine what the first thing is you
see about a candidate on any given day. I mean, we are going into an election here, We are going into an election where the social media game of the various candidates is really do or die. I mean, the social media stuff is going to determine a large in large part who is able to get a bit ahead in the Democratic primary, and then of course in the general it's going to be a total free for all and we have this notion that we cling to, and I can understand why. It's just you would assume the
way it's all been set up. Google's motto is don't be evil. And oh man, they're just a bunch of fun kids out in Silicon Valley sitting on beanbag chairs and getting sushi it's paid for them for lunch, and having meditation sessions out on the green. And now these are libs. These are progressives with a lot of money who are living in the one of the most radical left wing echo chamber regions in the country, which is
Silicon Valley of the San Francisco Bay Area. It's the only place, the only metropolitan area in the country that by political affiliation, is more liberal than the swamp in Washington, DC,
where I'm broadcasting to you from right now. And they think that they have not just the right and legally speaking right now, they do keep that in mind, but they believe that they have an obligation to the fundamental human rights and the fundamental leftist This is how it has to be mentality to make you think certain things and to change age your perception of the world around you so that it molds to the progressive orthodoxy which dominates the Democratic Party and which has had far too
much leeway in the culture for a very long time, and increasingly dominance in the digital media culture. If they shut this stuff down, how do we how do we even fight back if they start to and how do we know what right do we have even to find out who Google is trying to help in the next election. And you know, this is why when people talk about campaign finance and all these ridiculous rules about oh, you know, you can only give this much money. It's some arbitrary number.
You can't give that much money. A CNN is a giant in kind donation to the Democratic Party and whichever Democrat candidate at any time it decides should be the nominee. CNN is a giant, walking, talking Democrat National Committee donation. It is just giving money to the DNC, to the
Democrat apparatus. But that doesn't get counted. When you know Anderson Cooper goes on TV at night and is always favorable to the Democrats and always nasty to the Republicans, undermine and then pretending he's neutral, that doesn't get tabulated. That doesn't get there's no cost profit and loss. That's done on this. No. Nothing. Now, I'm not suggesting there should be, but I'm also not somebody who runs around talking about how we need to get the money out
of politics. We need to get this is we should have as much as possible as speech free for all out there, and I think the efforts to regulate speech
generally backfire more than they help. But when you're talking about social media in the current era, what you have are companies that have the protections of platforms, but the politics and the editorial line of publishers, and beyond that, they're also dishonest about the fact that they're taking an editorial position on this that when they claim that dead naming, for example, on Twitter referring to someone who is transgender's
former name is some horrible act that should be severely punished. Where is the where's the pushback on this or what can you really do? Well, you can stop okay, sure, you can stop using their platform. But this is how people communicate now, and this is why you start to say, well, could one company have bought up the phone lines and then when it came time for the election decided to switch off all the phones in areas that look like they were going to go republican or you know, is
that okay? How much control over communications in this country, or private companies allowed to have. The FCC does all kinds of things. They got to approve mergers. And you've noticed they're trying to go after Sinclair again. They're going after Sinclair now, they say because of some sports channels or something. The Democrats are just targeting Sinclair because they don't want to win the debate. They want to be the only side in the debate. That's the leftist mentality.
Why have to even deal with an opposition. It's just so much better, so much cleaner, so much easier to be the only position. And unless we get it together and see what's going on at places like Google right now and hold them to account. And yeah, maybe this means we either they either get broken up or we have to start conservative platforms. It can't mean just sit here and try to make the case about how we should have neutral, free speech and respect for all sides.
And because we're just gonna lose on that, they're just gonna keep kicking us in the face. That seems to be the position. I see have a lot of conservatives who are of the never Trump mold, well, you know, we'll just make the case and eventually they'll come over to us. No they won't. We'll be right back offer anything. So that was just a little quick snippet which I'll read you the the transcript. Job it. But the Jessie Smallette video has come out, and this guy, look I
have I have. I can tell you I have no sympathy whatsoever for this guy, because it's not enough that he pulled off the dumbest, most absurd hoax hate crime perhaps in the history of hoax hate crimes. It's it's not enough that he do that. Then he had the the sheer temerity, the gall to stand before the American people, in front of the press and hold a kind of imprompt impromptu press conference, where after his his friend essentially in the US attorney I mean in the state's Attorney's office,
made this whole thing go away for him. Him, he thought it was acceptable to lecture the American people about how he didn't do anything wrong and everybody should have believed him. And then he knows himself and he knows who he is, and and then it was just too much. It was oj searching for the real killers after the unthinkably stupid verdict that found him not guilty, right, I mean it was it was similar in terms of just what a brazen, in your face liar. But the good
news is Jesse Smallt's also an idiot. He's not a smart person, and he's not a disciplined person either. It's not, from what I can see on this video, a particularly good actor. That video has police entering his home. This is right after the attack because now the cops have let they've let the floodgates open. Man, they want people to see as much small let stuff as possible. They want everyone to see exactly what's going on here because
Jesse threw them all onto the bus. You know, he was saying that the you know, he told him these lies, and they wasted all this time. This is in a city with a terrible homicide epidemic in Chicago. You have detectives waste over I think one hundred thousand dollars what they estimated of time on this case, man hours and everything else. And then what it's the system is racist and what's the explanation for this afterwards? It's it's absurd, absurd. Makes it seem like the cops were out to get him.
You know, the cops were so sure that he's guilty, but they must just really be out and after him. So the police entered his home. There you have to see this video. It's amazing. I know we're on radio. It's I can't show you the video. But they enter his home and they say they see him and he's standing there looking utterly ridiculous with this noose that's around his neck that he left on his neck, that he says they put on him, and he says they poured
bleach on him. And the police enters home. They say, do you want to take it off about the about the noose. He says, yeah, I do. I just wanted you to see it. They poured bleach on me. I don't want to be filmed, said the TV star. Those are all Those are all quotes from the except for the last thing from the video. Okay, if you had somebody throw a noose around your neck, I'm pretty sure that the moment you weren't in that threat situation, you'd
probably remove the noose from your neck. I don't think you'd walk up to your apartment and leave the noose on your neck, and that you would tell the cops. I wanted you to see it, like, see it on me. This is Jessie Duff protest too much about the noose that he clearly put around his own neck. Did you notice the material of the rope? Buck? Did that seemed like a little flimsy to you? Oh? Yeah, I mean when you think of a noose, like, there's certain things
that entered my mind. And when I saw that, I was like, it look like shoelaces around his neck. Mike, think about how hard you would fight to stop somebody from getting a rope around your neck. I mean, theoretically this could be a lethal incident, right, I mean some of them strangle you. Right, They're gonna get this like loose, flimsy rope around you, and you're gonna leave it on and the only thing that you have on you is little,
a little tiny scratch on your face. It was that easy to get this noose around your And I mean, it's just it's crazy, the whole thing. Man, It's it's but you have to the videos amazing because you're like, this is it's so stupid. It's hard to believe if Jesse Smollett was trying to if he was tasked as an acting exercise with coming up with the most absurd hate crime hoax possible. Really being in a situation where you'd say, there's no way something could be more ridiculous
than this. I don't think he could do a better job than what we saw with this. It is so dumb that if you were trying to come up with a laughably false hate crime hoax. And yet, folks, how you know I said this from the beginning, I'm like, up, Jesse small Att, I don't buy it, Jesse small Att updates, Nope, doesn't add up. Story doesn't make any sense. And that was before we had the video and the tape. We knew the full I just knew the story didn't make
any sense. As soon as you have the additional evidence, you realize how incredibly dumb this whole thing was. Media went forth, though, just like they went for Eejean Carol, because they're either enabled by their Trumped derangement syndrome or they're just so blinded by it that Trump arrangement syndrome turns the media into idiots. Ilhan Omar has gotten into trouble and recent months because of anti Semitic comments, but that's not the only thing that is bedeviling the congresswoman
from Minnesota. There are some very troubling stories that are out there right now about a possible marriage fraud scheme involving Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. I've been reading about this, but not all over this story quite the same way as some of the intrepid reporters out there. And we've got one of them joining us now to tell us exactly what is going on. Tiana Lowe is with us. She's a commentary writer for the Washington Examiner. Thank you so much, Tianna.
Great to have you. Thank you for having me. All Right, so walk us through this if you would please. What is the backstory here of exactly how ilhan Omar's marriage to her brother is a headline that I'm seeing now, So okay, what we know is this Alan Omar from two thousand and two to two thousand and eight was married in a feast tradition to a man named Ahmed Hersey. She says that in two thousand and eight they split in their faith tradition, and then she married this guy,
Ahmed Elmi in two thousand and nine. And she says that although they did not legally divorce until twenty seventeen, that they split up in their faith tradition in two thousand eleven, and then she reconciled with her first husband. However, there's been a lot of mounting evidence over the past three years that her marriage with Elmie was sort of a sham. So in twenty sixteen, she was originally running
for state Congress. Local news outlets I think was Alfha News of Team screenshots that have since been deleted so I couldn't independently verify them that show her and Elmie's sort of referring to each other in a sibling like manner, and it contradicts what she says in her divorce decree, which she says that she had no way of contacting Elmie after summer of twenty eleven, but there are screenshots that show them in contact in a very friendly and
casual manner from twenty thirteen twenty fourteen. So what I did is I went to Minnesota and I obtained traffic and petty misdemeanor violation records from the county courthouse that show that she and Hersey both reported living in the same Cedar Riverside home from two thousand through two thousand and eleven, and she was supposedly married to another guy, So it seems like it was a sham marriage. And if you believe the screenshop, it's take them at face value.
They do imply that that Omar and Elmi are related. And now I would assume that there would be a pretty easy way to make this whole thing go away if, in fact, Ilhun Omar had not had not had a sham marriage and with her brother. I mean, that's where I think people go, way, what's going on here? But it's obviously for immigration purposes to try to EVADEI immigration laws. Assuming that's the case, why hasn't the Omar camp been able to just put this whole thing to bed. This
shouldn't be hard. So that's the thing. There's a very realistic scenario in which a married couple divorces, and because the divorces have a couple and ofst and because finance and we're tight, that they would maybe still live in the same home, because because one person can't afford a new property. That if that was the case, they could have just come out with out of the story, you know. But the fact that she's being this evasive you know.
So she's rejected to Washington Examiners requests for comment multiple times now, and she's she's you know, always sort of evaded the issue. She initially when the story first, when it first broke on power Line in twenty sixteens, all the way back during that Sea campaign, she first just accused the blog of engaging in Islam the soopia and racism and sexism, only then coming out and clarifying this
messy timeline. But it's further complicated by the fact she also violated federal and state tax flog because she gurrently files her taxes in twenty fourteen and twenty fifteen with hercy while she was still legally married to another man. HM. So there's a tax component of this story too. What what do the statute of limitations? Do we know? Would that apply here for these for the immigration violation and also for the for tax stuff. I think that's a
pretty long tale on that. Yeah, And the biggest thing I sento this does ELI appears that lever of the paion's citizenship um in the United States. However, if if the screenshots are authentic, and if people can find more evidence, it does seem like she Omar could have perjured herself during her divorce by saying that she had no means
of contacting Elmie after two thousand eleven. Then our attempts to get eight default divorce in which is basically a single party divorce, and it seems like that was not the case. Um. Again, all of this wouldn't be fish. Marriages are complicated things, and usually I would say that someone's personal life, but if a public figure and no
matter of public concerns, um. In this case, we're talking about multiple violations of the law from you know, the campaign finance violations, the tax policy violations, the potential purkery curses, and then maybe something heard with immigration. And also that's the fact that she's lied not only to you know, the public, specifically to your own constituents about this. And what would we need to have to find out definitively, you know, what are the missing pieces of either evidence
or testimony? What what would you need to know to finally nail this thing down? Is there is there something that you're hoping to get So it would be interesting to see what the North Dakota records say. Offer her outlets to report it on the North Dakota records. Um, that implied that will also live in together there. I'd tendently verify that. But from all of it, um, I mean, honestly, it's just a matter of this. There's any way to obtune records proven, um, you know, not just screenshots proving
that she was in contact with Tomie. And it's just a it's a difficult thing because you know, until her own party and until we have members of immedia start oppressing her for answers about this, she could have continue to avoid it. All right, Well, Tianolo at the Washington Exam, thank you so much for telling us what's going on here. If you get some definitive answers, please come back and let us know if if in fact, this thing is what we think it is. Thank you, all right, team,
We'll be right back. The show ain't over yet, folks, keeping it real. It's time for Roll Call up up um, all right, team, fantastic to have you here with me for Roll Call purposes. As always, Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton. If you want to be a part of Roll Call, that's all you have to do. It is very easy, it is very very straightforward. So let's getting right to it show? Shall we stan right? The vitamin
D sweet spot and its relationship to aging. He sent me a video and he says that if you want the best part, you gotta go check this out. Four thousand iu s has been proven in studies to reduce genetic aging, has fifteen hundred functions of your body. Seventy percent of Americans are deficient in vitamin D. Stan. I don't know if you work for the vitamin D lobby or what, but you know, I don't know what to tell you about this vitamin D situation. I just read
the studies that are out there. I don't get and I don't have any particular knowledge or expertise about this stuff. Mesa right buck listening to you talk about the Netflix documentary, the way they are, the way they see us, or I think it's when they see us. You should watch the second episode they find a way to blame Trump. I couldn't take it anymore and moved to a different show.
I tried the movie Slasher, supposed to be a thriller about a serial killer, turns out to be a movie about how a normal white American family is evil and a Muslim family is the victim of the white families and oh yeah, there's a serial killer in it. Not saying there aren't any evil people in the world of any race, but it's so obvious with the media and entertainment are trying to do here. Just about had it
with Netflix. If you can stomach it, try Slasher Well after that review, I don't know if that's gonna, you know, get me to watch it. I think that's probably unlikely. Angela, all right, buck, Hey, I watched the Senate hearing today with Google. Do you think this will make a difference in our elections and the bias on conservatives? Angela, I don't know. I do know. There are a lot of radio hosts who will always tell you they do know,
even when they don't. But I don't know. I think that this issue of social media censorship is incredibly complicated. There are very strong arguments in different directions about what
to do about it. I just know we're at a huge disadvantage, and if we don't figure this out, or if we don't fight back effectively the ways that the left will be able to control debate, discussion and politics going forward, we can just begin to understand how much control they will really have of the dialogue of the discourse Steve Right, Hey Buck mentor drop us to you yesterday. My favorite rum, it's a touch pricey at forty five
dollars here up in New Hampshire. More for sipping than mixing or just throwing a few back, is ron z a ka ron Zakapa. What can I say other than damn tasty z a c a p a crafted in Huatemala. Zakapa rum is a work of art. All right, I'll check this out out. You guys are really coming at me with all the rum suggestions here, and let's see Steve Bright's quick movie comparison. Gladiator is a great movie. Check out. It's nineteen sixty four four runner Fall of
the Roman Empire. Richard Harris, who played Marcus Aurelius in two thousand, was offered the role of Commodus in the sixty four movie. Huh yeah, Richard Harris died. I know that a few years ago. He was pretty old and he was good as Marcus Aurelius. He was also Dumbledore initially in the Harry Potter movies, which I've never read the Harry Potter books, and I've only seen one Harry Potter movie. So all this Harry Potter stuff I've just picked up from the culture. I don't have any real
Potter knowledge. And then as for Commodus in the sixty four, it would be very interesting fall of the Roman Empire. Huh. I'll have to check it out, Mica. All right, mister Buck, thank you for your voice. I look forward to it every day. I just wanted to point out that Nancy Pelosi sure got quiet about impeachment. Since the bar report has been pushed back until next month, I expect to hear more about impeachment about a week before the Bar report drops. Speak loud for all of us, because we
need your voice shield, hie. Mica, Well, thank you so much, Mika. I'm trying to speak loudly for everybody. Make sure that we get all the important stuff out there. David Rights, don't get sidetracked on a Netflix series. Keep up your great work on the current events we're facing today. I listened to the podcast every day, your spot on take Care all right, Dave, Well, thank you. I mean, I don't think I'm getting two sidetracked on it, but there
are much broader themes in that Netflix series. When they see us or the way they see us or whatever it is. It's much more than just that series. It's the forty million dollar judgment paid out by the City of New York. It's the narrative that the media has concocted now of a racist NYPD and the systemic racism of it. And that was the real That was the real problem in the nineties and the late eighties in
New York City. Not the horrific murder rate and all the rapes and all the burglaries and break ins and muggings and beatings. No, the problem was the systemic racism, you see, that was the problem. It's a horrible thing, the falsehoods that are peddled by the mainstream Media's really really is Hey, Buck, this is from Bill regarding your radio show on June twenty fourth. You spoke about people taking control of their medical needs. You also mentioned changing
conventional wisdom in the medical field. You should check out doctor Varner dot com. His views are extremely similar to yours. Well, Bill,
I will check him out. I mean, because I'm somebody who really I've thought long and hard about this, and I've had to deal with the medical system and a couple of different capacities in my day, and I'm always I'm always astounded when you go to a doctor they charge you as a lot of doctors in New York don't take insurance, which I don't know how much of that you see in other parts of the country, but in New York City, the top, a lot of the
top doctors won't take any insurance. You show up and they just they give you a bill and you can shibit it to your own insurance. But you'll walk in and you'll say, hey, I have you know I had. I was getting chronic headaches for a while, for example, just horrible debilitating headaches was actually happening for a while while I was doing the radio show. But radio is
always an escape from it. Even when I had the pain, and the ability of the medical community to really help you and you have debilitating headaches is is just shockingly flimsy. I mean, they really don't have much for you. But you'll go in and they'll spend seven minutes with you, and then you'll get a bill for eight hundred dollars or a thousand dollars just to talk to them, and they haven't helped you, haven't done anything for you. And I know you say, well, Buck, you can't be based
on whether they cure people or not. You're paying for the service, And yeah, but doesn't have to be. Isn't there just some sense of professional pride in Hey, I want to I want to help people and not just take their money because I have this dential And they get to wait for thirty minutes to spend five minutes with me. After waiting two weeks or a month, they get an appointment. You know, isn't there shouldn't it be a little bit more than just yeah, give me, give
me my money, and you know, sorry, you're suffering. I look, I think modern medicine has a long, long, steep climb ahead of it. I'm way less impressed by it than I was when I was growing up. It seems like there's very little. There's very little that they well, I should say it's very little they can fix. There's a lot they can't fix. Though that feels like it should be fixable. Let's see here we have. I know I have these very antagonistic views of modern medicine. Michelle writes one,
he's a broad rick. She was the first woman. Bill Clinton bit the lip of and raped Jennifer Flowers was his girlfriend. The Energizer is his new girlfriend. Sadly, he looks like he really really needs a boost right about now. Michelle writes about Bill Clinton. Think Jennifer Flowers. I'm pretty
sure she accused him of sexual assault. Michelle and one need a broad Rick also accused Let let me see, I might I might have that wrong, but I'm pretty sure she was also somebody that because there was more than one there's more than one woman. Yeah, no, she also accused him. Bill. Didn't she accuse him of sexual assault? Or? Am I crazy? Um? Bill Clinton testified he had a sexual kind of Flowers. I'm trying to make sure I get this right. Um, oh no, that's I guess. Uh yeah, no,
you're right. I think it's you're I guess it's um I had that. I had that baggards one need a broad rick. Jennifer Flowers was his girlfriend. Okay, well that's one need a broad rick? All right, Well learn something to him? Thank thanks for the correction there, Am I bad? Um? Well? Team? What? Oh? Do we have time for one more? Let me see here? Sorry, I was doing a little bit of Wikipedia in real
time there to make sure is Wikipedia even correct. Who knows people rely on it way too much because it's just so easy. Well, this is this is a long Christian passage. Thank you for sending it to me, Laura, but I cannot read it on the air up Unfortunately we are at time today for the show. I would appreciate you all hanging out with me. Thank you so much. Tomorrow we'll have a fantastic show in preparation for the Democrat debates. Until then, she'll tie
