The Impeachment Turkey's Cooked

before Thanksgiving. A lot of people are off today, a lot of people in the media business are taking their vacation. You will notice that here I am in the Freedom Und with producer Brandon. We are holding down the fort. We are on the front lines of freedom right now, not just running off to eat our turkeys and our mashed potatoes and obviously stuffing. I also have to say that I think stuffing should become something that you don't just eat on Thanksgiving. Now, people might say to me, Buck,

how would you know there's gluten free stuffing? And it is amazing, because all stuffing is fantastic. It's just an excuse to eat little cubes of seasoned bread and then whatever other food you want, you drip into that and you turn into this like mush that absorbs all the other the turkey, grayvy, the cranberry, the cranberry sauce, you know whatever other you know, this is the for someone who has had just a box of crutons to eat stuffing,

respect it exactly. I mean, all you need to do is take a box of crutons, add some water, kind of mush it up, put it in the microwave. That yeah, instant stuffing boom. Minds blown everybody at home. No, we are going to talk some news today. Obviously, I'm not just gonna bring you here to hang out and talk about Thanksgiving things. Although I do have this vision in my head that as all of you listened to this show, you are well, some of you will be on the road or in the well in the air if you've

downloaded the show on podcast, you could listen. Because everyone travels quite not everybody, but a lot of people travel quite a distance, travel quite a bit in order to get to see loved ones over this holiday. And so I feel like I'm hoping that I'm keeping you company for either your Thanksgiving travel or your pre Thanksgiving feast preparations.

Because my understanding is I mean that turkey can take a really long time, especially if you have to thought so, I guess you're not sitting there watching the turkey thaw. That wouldn't be the most exciting thing ever. But there are certainly things that one can do to get ahead of the game. My family, we always have quite a spread of treats and suits and things before the main meal, and you pretty much have had a meal before you sit down for the big game. This year, I might

try to I might try to leave alextra. So anyway, well, we'll get more into Thanksgiving. How people are triggered by Thanksgiving. Now, it's a colonial holiday. Nothing can be fun, nothing can be something that brings all the American people. It's not a religious holiday. You can imbue it with your own religious significance if you want. But even still, the truth here is that it's something that we can't even look at as a universe, a universal outside the jurisdiction of

wokeness and political correctness. Holiday. I don't want to spend too much time on that though. Hunter Biden back in the news today, Oh man, you can tell I've got a little bit of a little bit of the pre holiday time to roll. Let's get out there and party vibe going here. But I'm gonna I'm gonna do the show. It's gonna be strong show today. It's gonna be a strong show. It's not by the way, this is some people do their Thanksgiving Wednesday show like a week in

advance or something. No, none of that, None of that week saws here, none of that week thing in gravy in the Freedom Hut. We're doing a real show. Producer, Brandon's here. Does he want to be here now? He wants to be sitting eating a giant turkey drumstick, hanging out, probably watching football, But instead we're doing a show. Hunter Biden back in the news. Let's get into that for a moment, shall we. He's back in the news because there is a report from the New York Post that

says that Hunter Biden is believed this is what. It says, Hunter Biden suspected of smoking crack in DC strip club vip room. And to this, I say, this is just an allegation. There's no proof of this yet, and perhaps Hunter Biden just needed to find a quiet place to read up on strategies to improve the efficiencies of the Ukrainian natural gas market. Because we know he's quite an

expert in that. But this is the fellow that the media will immediate will immediately jump down your throat, They will yell at you, they will be quite upset at you if you say anything about how it seemed quite corrupt for this fellow to be on the board when his father was. It seems like something you wouldn't allow to happen if you were really concerned with good governance

and avoiding the appearance of corruption. In fact, there is a piece today I read about what ethics rules usually are for a White House, and it's supposed to be that the mere perception the appearance of corruption is enough for someone to recuse themselves from an area, which raises the question, why wouldn't Joe Biden step away from the Ukraine portfolio if his son was in fact going to be on the board of this company. Why not? What

is there to lose? We have so many experts on Ukraine, as you've seen, We've had all these people come forward who you know. I've been working on Ukraine for the National Security Council for the last fifteen years. I'm the

world's greatest expert on Ukraine. All these different figures all these folks coming forward to tell us what needs to happen with Russia and Ukraine, and yet here we are now being told that it was obvious that there was an appearance of corruption between Hunter Biden and his father on the situation with Barisma. And also this guy is quite a disaster, really, I mean, Hunter Biden has had

a track record that's stunning. The fact that he has worked with some of the law firms and different organizations that he has given the reality of his past is just further testament to in fact, how corrupt he really is, how much this was a perception at least of a

pay for play scheme. And can't that be enough If I am going to be a Ukrainian oligarch, if I'm going to wargain this out from their perspective, if I'm the head of Barisma, I don't need to necessarily write out some contract for Hunter Biden that says you will speak to your father and do something illegal here in order to help us. I just want you on the board so that people know that you're protected. You know,

within the ranks of the mafia. If there's a made guy who is with you, it doesn't really matter if the made guy is telling everybody you can't touch this other individual or not because he's rolling with a made guy for our purposes. In this analogy, Hunter Biden was like a maide mafioso. You couldn't you can't touch him. This is also in the movie That Departed with Jack Nicholson.

He goes, it's actually Jack Nicholson's right hand man whose name I forget from the movie, who says there are guys you can't touch, and you know, Leonardo DiCaprio gets a lesson and who he can't and can't hit. Essentially, Hunter Biden on the board of Barisma was this is a company that it's going to be harder to hit at least, and that's why he was there. He also was in a place, an establishment that I lived very near in DC called Archibalds, which that that is the

allegation in the New York Post. I cannot say whether or not this is archibald Is. It's considered a gentleman's club. I do not think there are a whole lot of gentlemen who frequent this establishment. It was a point of jest for many of us in DC to say, who goes it's right on K Street, right near some of the big fancy law firms, is right in the midst

of all the swampiness. You have this, uh, I believe the gentleman's club, cabarets and it's a strip club, right, So, I don't know, we use these different terms, but it's a strip club I have. I don't even know anybody in DC who's been in this place. It is it has something of a place of ill, of some ill repute. I think you could say Hunter Biden might have been and it's not just a hundred bids in there. He might have been there, according to the York Post smoking crack,

which is pretty stunning. And this guy's father is supposed to now be according to Democrats, than the presidents of the United States coming up in twenty twenty. This is what this is what I keep coming back to. You have Democrats who complain and cry about how Trump is ruining the prestige or the presidency and that he is so not presidential in his approach and that we need

people who are just more serious in the role. And then they offer up Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Bernie Sander, They offer up these figures that I look at them and I said, this is I mean, the Democratic Party is not sending us their best? Are they Is this really their best? I think they would have to answer yes, they have no other alternative right now. People are very concerned in Democrat ranks. I'm starting to see this percolating

through the media. You'll also hear people behind closed doors and in back channel talking about this that if Bernie or perhaps even Warren were to get the nomination, certainly Bernie, it has been said that Barack Obama might speak out against or I should say, before he could get the nomination. If it looks like he would, Barack Obama may speak

out against Bernie Sanders. That would cause quite a fracture in the Democratic Party, and I'm not sure how they would really be able to handle that unless there was some plan to put a long shot or not I shouldn't say long shot, a as yet undeclared candidate in the mix. And this is where we get into our is it Hillary's at Michelle Obama? People have thrown around

the name Oprah here as well. Look, I how could anyone say that Oprah wouldn't be a serious candidate when you see the candidacy that Donald Trump was able to run as somebody who really understands media. Donald Trump is a free media genius. This is how he was able to beat Hillary Clinton. He understands how to create a story, how to create drauma and tension through the press. And they always think that because they're able to put their spin on things, that they're doing more damage to Trump

than benefit that he's getting out of it. The reality is that they're often showing everybody who they are and putting shining the light on Trump or some issue that he wants to talk about. So Hunter Biden and the corruption situation is going to continue to be a problem for Democrats. I'll never forget Anderson Cooper. The only really memorable moment of whatever Democrat debate that was where he said, there's no evidence or without evidence to Joe Biden that

you did anything wrong in Ukraine. Well, no, there's there's no allegation of criminal conduct, but there's already proof of doing something wrong. What they did was gross, it was unethical, just like they can make the claim that what President Trump did on that phone call with the Ukrainian president, President Lensky, that that was unethical. They can make that argument. I disagree with it, but it's not illegal. And the

pretense that it is illegal the make believe story. The Democrats tell themselves that if they just get upset enough about this and talk enough about this, they will managed to convince people that this is that it was illegal. Just goes to show you that they're willing to twist the law in ways that it is unrecognizable in order to go after a the primary political opponent right now, who is who is Donald Trump? So we should look at this, by the way, Josh I think it is.

Josh Hammer wrote a great piece in The New York Post where he's saying, we have to stop focusing in a lot of New York Post shout outs today. I don't know what. I don't know what's all about. You know, the Post is a it's a good paper. You know, it's a got a good editorial page, headline, the best

headlines in the business. I'll give them that. But the Post today has this piece by Josh Hammer where he's talking about how by fighting on the issue of the quid pro quo, where not really understanding what is at stake here and what the issues really are because quid pro quos do happen all the time. Mick mulvaney was right, even though he got, you know, just hammered for this. Mick mulvaney was correct when he said they're quid pro

quos in foreign policy all the time. And so Hammer says in his editorial, and this is a continuate or a version, I should say of what I've been telling you that because politicians have First Amendment rights to say different things about what they're going to do in policy, because they have the right to speak and share their ideas. To criminalize someone saying do this or and I will do this as a politician in the way the Democrats are trying to do would open itself to all kinds

of mischief. Then the issue of the quid pro quo just becomes do democrats like this quid pro quo or not is in an abuse of power or not based upon their perception of whether there is some benefit for the president. You know, bribery is a very specific thing. They have tried to expand the definition of bribery to include this will Look, you're a politician who does things in the political realm. If this thing that you want done gets done, it would be good for you politically.

Therefore you're guilty of bribery. As I've been saying along, this is absurd. That means that any political act could conceivably be construed a construed as bribery, which just goes to show you that if everything is bribery, nothing is bribery. So I think that that's that's it's gone into the level of silliness. It's absurd. But they're going to continue

on with this. There's no doubt in my mind that Democrats are going to impeach this president, No no doubt whatsoever, because there's no feasible way for them to back away at this point. They have to. They have to do this in their in their own minds. That's what's going to happen. M And with that, my friends, I want to turn to a fellow from the d n C vice chair I believe of the DNC appeared yesterday on Fox News Hold one second, and I was saying he had a member of the d n C senior staff.

I believe he's the vice president, vice chair something of the DNC. Um I've I've had him on my show before at the Hill. I found him to be uh snyde and rude, and he was quite snyde and rude when he appeared on. Michael Blake is a DNC vice chair. That's that's right. This is what he shows up on Fox News to talk about Democratic candidates, and this is what he does play clips. Well, she's not running. But the core question is why I held to suck a car is still have a job here in the first place.

The reality is this is someone who said white supremacy is a hoax, and why does Fox allow him to still be here in the first place? Right? Well, I mean his opinion there is that Michelle Obama may get in this race. Do you think that will happen or is not gonna happen? Not going to happen. But I think the core question is he shouldn't be on here at all. Yeah, we didn't bring you on to talk about Tucker Carlson. I brought you on to talk about

the Democratic field. This is somebody who's representing the Democratic National Committee. This is who's supposed to show us that we would be at a better we'd be heading to a better politics if we only had a Democrat president and a Democrat House and Senate. I mean that's what the NC wants. And he acted like a complete jerk on Bill Bill Hemmer's show. And Hammer, by the way, is a very fair minded guy, very decent guy, does a good show, does give people on both sides a

fair shake to speak in a Democrat and Republican. He's he's he tries to play it as straight as a as a as a journalist or a TV journalists as he can, I think. And this guy, Michael Blake was acting like a total total jerk. I mean, just no manners, no deasons. He was ever going on to trash his colleague who's not there. That's just it's a it's a

cowardly move. He is not there to talk. He wasn't asked to talk about Tucker Cross, and he's asked to come talk about whether Michelle Obama is going to possibly get into the race, and he just uses an opportunity. So I just point at this to show you this is somebody who's very senior in the d NC apparatus, and this is just showing you what the reality is of the Democrats, that they they're not going to be nice if Trump loses, They're not going to be kinder

and better politicians than Trump has. But this is all of this is all a myth, a mirage doesn't exist. Democrats have embraced a hysteria and a viciousness and a person in politics of personal destruction that Trump is in antidote two in many ways that he is an answer to. He is there as a means of pushing back and fighting back against the political machinery of the left that

just seeks to crush and destroy and control. Trump is the guy you want by your side in a bar fight, and in twenty twenty, this election is going to be a political bar fight unlike anything you've ever seen before. I just remember the other side anytime they talk about civility or Trump's tone, they're the worst when it comes to that stuff, the absolute worst. And Trump just gives

them some of their own medicine. That was First Lady Melanie A Trump who is certainly arguably the most iconic from a fashion and style perspective, the most beautiful for those who care about the way the fashion magazines like to portray first ladies and how how they're supposed to

be a representation of America and all this stuff. I mean, First Lady Melanie at Trump is obviously stunning and highly fashionable, and all she does is talk about the issues that are that are really non politically, you know, be nice to people. She's trying to say Happy Thanksgiving here, and

she's getting people are booing her. You know, I was just talking to you a second ago about how you can't buy into the lie a lie the left is going to want to tell you, or is telling you every day that they're nicer that Trump, that the Republican Party is now a party of meanness because of Trump. No. Trump is in many ways a response to the viciousness of the left and the lack of any sense that

there can be something that is non political. There are some areas where we can come together as Americans and be decent to each other and oh, I don't know, come together and give thanks as a country and not have it be a political food fight and not have all the nonsense social justice warrior criticisms of Thanksgiving as a holiday. But now the left has decided that they want a state of constant political warfare in every place, on every issue, and there can be no respite from it.

Sports is not a respite from it. National holidays is not a respite from it. It has to continue on always. You know that there are people booing Melanni a Trump. I mean I would tell you this if people at a Thanksgiving event like this, where Milanni at, where the First ladies just there to try to, you know, be a nice representation of the First Family at a given point in time, if people had booed Michelle Obama, I would have thought that they were jerks too. Let's let's

keep this consistent. If if you be any first lady who showing up saying happy thanks gaining everybody you know, show a little class, you know, but the left has no class. This is why the left they're always showing up and interrupting events and shouting people down and protesting and cancel culture and get this person fired and get them thrown off the internet platforms, make them lose their job. This isn't an anomaly for them. Now. This is who

the left has become. They embrace all of that. They don't. They don't in any way repudiate it when there are these movements to humiliate and destroy their political opponents, which look it always brings me back to I mean Cavanall was a political mind eleven moment for many of us Note eleven, in the sense that it was a change, a dramatic change in perception of the reality that we are living, and that was a national security and US safety in the face of a terrorist threat change in perception.

But for our politics in America now, Kavanaugh was a turning point. Certainly a turning point for me. And I've talked to many friends about this. If they could do that to him, if they could destroy or try to destroy that man in that way, with so much dishonesty and viciousness and just lack of basic human sympathy for a father or a husband, a good man. They do to anybody for any reason. By the way, it doesn't

matter if you're a public figure. They will make you a public figure if it becomes a benefit to the left to make an example of you. You think you're just walking to your car with the groceries, but all of a sudden, some incident happens, and they've got a video camera out there, and now you're public enemy number one. They want to destroy you. No sense of good faith, no willingness to show any grace or mercy. So I

just want to be very clear about that. You know, as we're going into this holiday, we'll have a couple of days here where there's not as much of a focus on politics. Do not do not believe the people who will tell you this is something that I come up with too, that basically Trump is such a bad man. This is what you always hear. I've heard this from some associates and friends of mine recently. They'll say to me, this was said to me recently. You're too nice and

decent a person to support Donald Trump. This is a an attack on not an attack on. Maybe this is a way that people will try to criticize my support of the president. They say, look at how you conduct yourself and how you speak to people versus the way he does. And I turn around them, I say, but I don't. Donald Trump is not America's you know, kindergarten teacher. Donald Trump is not there to We're gonna say, he's there to provide a personal exemplar of conduct, not just

in office, but before he even entered office. That's that would be a new standard. Really, you know, George W. Bush was not an exemplar of fantastic conduct in his life that we all should look up to before. I mean, look at you know, we can all be honest here, right, we're all adults. I mean Bush had some problems and use a trust fund, baby, Okay, so yeah, and you

know Trump had hired a lot of money too. If we're going to talk about this, and don't even get me started on Bill Clinton, Well, this is not the standard that I hold politicians too, and I don't think we should. I think it's actually strange. On the one hand, you have people who will tell you that the problem of Trump is a problem of a cult, it's a form of destructive hero worship, and that he is being elevated as though he's a monarch, as though he's a dictator.

Robert Redford, by the way, Robert Redford is he wrote an editorial one of these, like now Trump has gone too far. I was like, first of all, as a Robert Redford is he still is he still doing things? What's his situation? Like? I don't even know he was still out there. But I got to love when these actors, these Hollywood types, whether it's Tadira or Redford, they're like, all right, that's it. This changes everything. Robert Redford is, We're gonna editorial about how Trump is Like a dictator.

But I have to tell you, on the one I think there's a disconnect. There's a disparity here because the argument against Trump is so often from the left. They'll say that there's a cult of personality. Look, every national politician in this country there's some a little bit of a cult of personality around them. It doesn't mean that that's something we should aspire to, but it has to be there, just the same way that if you're gonna run for president, you have to be a narcissist. I mean,

you have to really believe that you are special. Maybe you believe that you're chosen by chosen by God. I also think that there are people more likely to be Democrats and Republicans, But I do think that there are people who would say that just as as a cynical form of self promotion as politicians were all. Of course, I think I'm It's not that I want to run, it's that I am, or you know, God has chosen me to run. Some people believe it, some people don't.

I can't. I can't see in their hearts. I don't know which politicians mean that and which ones are being disingenuous. But they say that we are engaged in hero worship of Trump. But then they also will tell us that we are supposed to look to the president to be the example for our children, and you know that, Oh look at his language, or look what he did here, what he said there. I view him as a person who is doing a job, and that's where I'd want to say today transition for a moment into how we

should be thankful for the job. But he's doing it is going so much better than we were told. I mean, if we're going to be thankful for first and foremost, be thankful for your health, your family, and the fact that those of you who are and most of the most of Team Buck is here in America, not all. We've got Canada military bases around the world. They're obviously American, but they're not in the fifty States right now. The

ones who are international basis. And there's some other folks who listen in Israel I now, so we have some people all the world. But if you're listening to this and you are an American, you are incredibly lucky just by virtue of that fact. You're lucky because you are a part of a political community that is the most powerful most influential, most free, and most prosperous in the

history of the world. If you start to break down the numbers on that, and what are the chances that you would be born an American at this point in time instead of you know, born in ancient Sumeria and like lucky to hit your third birthday. I mean, if you look at the chances of being born at a time when people are starting to think about how soon we're going to hit you know, triple digit life expectancy as the norm, and the amount of time that we

have to pursue the life of the mind. And I know we don't do it as much as we should. And I really am thinking about cutting my cable chord, but I think I'm going to do it. Yeah, the only reason I have it is so I can see news. I can see cable news coming in sometimes, but that's not I don't think that's enough for me anymore. I get everything I need digitally, and I think it'd be better to just read more books and read more articles and just kind of bag it and watch Netflix and

those things that I want. But anyway, but you have it back to being thankful and not my cable news proclivity or lack thereof. Here's what I would say, we should all take a moment to be thankful for the most important things, your loved ones, your health, and the fact that you are alive at this time. It is. It is an amazing and glorious thing to be alive at this point in human history. I would also say, and had I had a feeling this morning that I wasn't sure I was going to share you or not.

But I do think that things are particularly strong right now, Things are going very well. I get a little little twig hinge of ominousus that there's something ominous over the horizon in twenty twenty. I don't I couldn't tell you what it is. I don't, you know. I always say nobody can predict the future, and don't trust anybody who

says they can. But we're we're going to head into some This is where all the cliche analogies come up, you know, the stormy waters work or something, because right now things just feel a little bit too stable, positive strong, and there is always there are ups and downs. My friends, you look at what was said to be the future of a Trump presidency. What they were telling us would happen. You look at that and then you see what's actually happening.

And first of all, they obviously can you know, the Tom Friedman's and the Paul Krugman's and Here Times editorial board, Washington Post editorial board or MSNBC analysts and anchors and CNN, and they were all so wrong that nobody should ever feel obligated to listen to them ever again, at about anything. But people will because everyone likes to have their their own political biases reflected back to them via the articles they read, the news stories that pop up on their screen,

the cable shows that they watch at night. The smart people watch or listen to the Buck Sex and Show because it keeps them safe in warm at night, or they check out my man Jesse Kelly as well, who's also on Pluto TV channel to forty eight, the first given a little shout out heading into Thanksgiving. The reality is that America is in an incredibly prosperous moment. We do not have a major war. I know, we have military, we still have some military and commeat operations going on.

There's some sweeping up remnants of ices happening in Syria. There's still stabilization efforts in Afghanistan, which I think, unfortunately in the long term, are doomed to failure. But we don't have we don't have a war going on right now where we're losing hundreds of people a day casualties in a war that was that has been reality cyclically throughout our our history. It's just a period of time

that we tend to have this degree of peace. So as you go home and you are about to carve up the turkey and dole out the sweet potatoes with I like it. My mom. My mom does an amazing missus Sexton, meaning my mom, I don't there's not a missus Sexton for me yet. We're working on We're working on it. We're working on it. M MoMA does an

amazing classic Thanksgiving feast, but she does. She does the marshmallows with the sweet potato, the browned marshmallow on top of the sweet potato, which I gotta say it is decadent, but it is quite It is quite delicious. I would also tell you that marshmallows I think are generally an overrated food. That's right, it's not that good, you know, You're ever like, oh, I just want to eat up a whole bunch of marshmallows, I don't think. So you got to burn them and put chocolate on. You burn

anything and put chocolate on, it's gonna taste okay. So it's carbon and chocolate. Back to the Thanksgiving the part about being thankful right now. I look, I don't sit around and make crazy predictions and then hope one of them comes true. As I can tell you that I'm some kind of prophet or something. Other people do that on their radio shows. I don't like to do that here. We're going to hit something bad next year. I just have a feeling. I can't I don't know what it is.

But the election is going to be nasty. I'm not talking about that. Something's We're going to hit something rough. And so I just know I've been around long enough to know that you, wherever you are across the country, around the world, my fellow Americans, take a moment to feel the blessings that we really do have in this country. Right now. You have your individual blessings, then you have the more general this period in time, this point in

history blessings. And it's remarkable. I mean, this country, we are not in the midst of a huge war. We are not in the midst of a recession. You know. The biggest problem most of us deal with in terms of what the news is reporting on, hows to do with whether we're going to argue about politics or not.

I know, perhaps that's a place to transition. Do not believe these articles or do not listen to these experts who are there's this whole industry of how to talk to your relatives about politics during Thanksgiving without making anybody too upset. No, do not, do not do this. Do not do this. Please, that's not the way. That's not the way to make everybody, everybody happy. I couldn't believe that this was really stunning. It was it. I'm trying to think what the group was here. The NNAF Abortion

Funds Twitter account put this out. Talking with your family about abortion isn't always easy. If you're visiting loved ones for the holidays this time. If you're check out our guide for talking about abortion, including graphics and a tool kid. They said tool kid, I'm not that's that's what was in the tweet. Uh No, do not all right, I do politics every day. I work in politics for a living, or you know, political media, whatever, we call this. Not

a journalist, not even really sure what. I'm just a guy with some thoughts and does some things do not bring up highly contentious politically. You already know this, I mean everyone already knows is you know, you understand if you got a family where that's I mean my family, it's always fun because we're all we're all on Team America and the Sexton family, so we don't have to

worry about it. But you know, I mean in other families, I know there's a little more sensitivity about this, and I've seen what can happen when these conversations go awry.

So but this is why people have football and they have movies and they have things that you can talk about where everyone can have an opinion and just share, exchange ideas and not get into a content just exchange with the other side of the table about whether Bernie Sanders is really good to deliver free healthcare for everybody in life is going to be great and everything will be fantastic. No, he is not correct, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Enjoy your stuffing and your turkey and

green beans. I think with the green beans probably in the sex and how green beans are good. You know, green beans are good because they're very easy to wrap in other foods, you know, on your plate, to kind of mush them in with mashed potatoes or sweet potato or stuffing, and then you feel like you're getting some greens.

So somehow the twenty five hundred calorie or three thousand calorie Thanksgiving feast that you are shoveling into your mouth is is a bit healthier because you've got green beans that'll be a part of the mix. So that's the advantage.

That's the advantage that I see there, all right, Team, When you want to spot that burglar when he's chasing your home or after he's in, well you could ask John who's blinked camera alerted him to was trying to break in while he and his family were home, or Shannon, who's blink camera caught a feat stealing packages.

I expect this pardon will be a very popular one with the media. After all, turkeys are closely related to vultures. I don't know if I like that line, but there is a

little truth to it. But today, after the birds will retire to Gobbler's Rest at Virginia Tech Great College, where they will be cared for and enjoy a terrific life, they should retire this tradition. We don't need this bizarre pardoning of the turkey thing anymore. I know I'm not trying to be the Thanksgiving Grinch, although I will be the Christmas Grinch because I will tell you all as it gets closer. How and once you have children who

are above the age of twelve. I think Christmas gifts, just try one year not doing the Christmas gift thing and just spend time together and forget about But I don't know people get me. Oh, but stores need and everything else. People. It's different now, man. If you can buy stuff for people, buy them a gift whenever you want. You don't have to wait until Christmas time to get gifts. You sit there on your phone and order anything you want to order for anybody. But I know it's very,

very commercial to the Christmas holiday. As I Thanksgiving is also commercial, at least for grocery stores and everything else. And I'm all down with most of the traditions and the way that we talk about what I actually I feel like they've started to push the whole Pilgrim narrative and all that out of it. You know, we don't

hear about this so much anymore. And there's some there are some early some of the earliest settlements had some experiments with socialism and with communal property, believe it or not, and it didn't work out well. What a shock when people had their own plot of land and they were responsible for that land and also were able to benefit

from having it be better tended. Talking now about the earliest colonists, the earliest settlers, people that were showing up here wearing those funky shoes with the little little buckles on them, look like look like lepre cons, you know what I mean, those ones? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. The Puritans Plymouth Rock. They showed up and they had communal ownership of some of the property, and that turned out to not be a good thing. So they started to go, wait a second, maybe we should

have ownership of land. I also love the lack of an honest assessment of what went on with native peoples before the European settlers showed up in this country. We always hear that there was no sense of ownership of land. Yeah, and yet there were tribes, notably like the Comanche among others, that were infamous for going to neighboring tribes and wiping everybody out and taking all their stuff. So I do

think they did have a sense of property. They just didn't have a sense of writing, and the rule of law was not codified. But they liked to create this mythology of a perfect a utopia that existed here before the settlers arrived. As you know, I've talked to you about this in the context of Columbus Day, where the storyline is that everything was great here and then we showed up and we re ruined it basically, and now

we need to be saying sorry. There was a piece in the Guardian today, the UK paper, not that anyone really cares what the UK has to say about Thanksgiving, because we're thankful that we don't have to deal with their dumbass monarchy. What a ridiculous I'm sorry now, not just because of the disgusting Prince Andrew situation, but I just in general. So, hey, if Monokey the Queen, we have to all sit around and vow and it's for tradition. They get to just be sort of rich and fancy

for no apparent reason. No, no, we fought. We fought a little war so we did not have to bow and scrape and bend the knee to a bunch of people that have done nothing to nothing to deserve the praise they get from the British bit But anyway, that's I might even try to watch some of this. Everyone loves to show the Crown, which I have to say, I tried to. I thought it was very boring. Maybe I'm alade in this one. I just I couldn't get into it. I know, different different strokes for different folks.

Where was Oh, yes, on the Native peoples and the way that Thanksgiving is now Thanksgiving is considered an imperialist and colonialist holiday in the academy. It hasn't really caught on yet because people do like an excuse to eat a really big, rich meal and to be with their families, and because it's not an explicitly religious holiday, although I think it goes all the way back to George Washington and you know, people giving thanks and well obviously it

goes back even before. But when it was turned into a holiday, an official holiday, you needed to have a country first, right, So it was something that we could do a whole Thanksgiving history. Perhaps on another day. I thought, I don't know how fascinting that would be for all of you. But the storyline is always that the Native peoples in this country, not just in this country, but in North America in general, we're living in a state of harmony, and then we came along and we're the

looiters and the oppressors, and did all these terrible things. Meanwhile, if you look at the reality of what was happening in the New World, particularly in the context of the Aztecs and the Maya's Mayans, rather there was a system of slavery and exploitation that was going on before we ever arrived. Because people are people all over the world, and if you're looking at what was going on in the fifteenth centuries sixteenth centuries, that people doing bad stuff

all over the world. There was no place that was this utopia where people where everyone lived in harmony with the land. And the one one thing that liberals never seemed to really understand is that nature is actually quite unforgiving and destructive. You see this with all the different versions that they put out in pop culture of Native

people's living in harm with the land. I mean, you know, you look at Dances with Wolves, for example, Oh, everything was the Native American tribes there were living in this world of everything was beautiful and they just lived off the land that everything's fun. And then you can even see, i mean, the plot of Dances with Wolves is completely taken by the movie what was the movie with the Blue the Blue Aliens? The Blue Alien movie. You know,

I'm talking to the blue alien Avatar. Avatar. Yeah, I'm gonna say it one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life. And I saw it in the special three d oh. Look the thing is like the weird jellyfish in the sky is flying to my face. No, it was bad. It was not a good movie. And I've been told it's also the same plot from Fern Gully, which I never saw. Is that correct? Fern Gully has the same You should watch that, really, yeah, I mean

maybe you would fall. It wouldn't work with you because I watched it as a kid and it's more like a kids movie. But yeah, it's the same plot, the same basic plot, right, So the bad people show up, the looiters and all these things. The reality of mother nature is that, especially for societies that were pre industrial and didn't have even basic agricultural implements or or systems of animal husbandry, I believe is the correct term. I'm amazing how many Americans don't even know that the Native

Americans in this country did not They did. They did not have a culture of of horseback riding until the European Spanish colonists showed up. That was where they got horses. There was not we think of, you know, the Plains, Indian pot of the Plains, Native Americans planes Native Americans as the appropriate terminology, but tries tribes like the Sioux and the uh I mentioned Comanche before Apache, that they're

riding horses. That was actually something that came as part of the Yes, the colonial the colonial conquest of America. What I just think this is a fascinating part of that that just gets left up people like, oh, yeah, they had horsed because of us. But what I'm trying to say about mother nature and the way it can be quite brutal, is that for those societies, I mean they're famine was a regular occurrence. People would run out of food, people would freeze to death, people would would

die because of exposure to the elements. And so there's always this story, this make believe world that liberals conjure up of pre European, pre industrial societies, we're living in harmony with Mother nature, when the reality is that they were living at the whim of Mother Nature most of the time, and life was to borrow from hobbes often nasty, brutish, and short. So if we're just going to have these

conversations about whether Thanksgiving as a colonial hoiday. I think we should be honest about what life was like here beforehand, what ways did it get better or was it not. Obviously, there was a lot of very terrible things that were done to the Native peoples by the colonial settlers. Some of the native peoples did some terrible things to the settlers as well. We know about that. It was mostly a function of disease that wiped out the Native American

population this country. I think about ninety the real estimates are over ninety seven percent of casualties after the conquest of North well of the Americas, I should say, came from disease, primarily smallpox and influenza. So we always are told about the genocide that occurred, and that we have to constantly be apologizing for this, and that this is something that all Americans we should carry some stain of shame over the genocide. There were very bad things that happened.

I'm familiar with the different ways that the Native peoples were killed and rounded up and put on reservations. But a vast majority of the extinction of Native peoples that occurred in the New World was the result of disease. It was just it was a highly an unfortunate situation for people whose immune systems had not been exposed to disease the way they had in the Western and primarily

Mediterranean world. So anyway, I just think that if we're going to talk about the colonial background of Thanksgiving, we should have a more open and honest discussion. But okay, well, what were the good parts of this? What were the bad parts of this? What were the aspects of you know, we're giving thanks in the new world. Do we have to focus so much in our contemporary context on how things back then weren't There was no wokeness, there was no social justice. There was a lot of yes, racism

and exploitation and bad things happening. Does that mean we're not allowed to just get together and give thanks today for all the all the benefits and bounty and wondrous stuff in this land. You know, they really do believe they want to change. Then I'm trying to see what the name. I think Trump said that there's an effort to change the name of Thanksgiving and that everyone has

freaked out, and so that that's not true. Here we go, universities teach students here's an example of exactly what I'm talking about, how to decolonize their Thanksgiving. This is in the college fix. As college students across the nation head home for Thanksgiving, they're armed with the knowledge to decolonize their holiday quote by taking how you can eat your

Turkey and decolonized Thanksgiving two. That's an event that is happening on college campuses and thanks but no Thanksgiving decolonizing an American holiday. This is amazing. There's an article here they talk about Professor Wick in which she encouraged parents to send letters to their children's schools to advocate for a more inclusive approach to discussing Thanksgiving, which is an

assistant professor of history at Saint Mary's University. Montana State University is having an Indigenous dinner on November thirteenth, including only locally and tribally sourced foods, with various stations offering natural Native American dishes. So now we have to give thanks by eating the foods of the native people's here here beforehand, I've just how long before we're told that that is cultural appropriation? Anybody how long before that that

itself becomes a problem. This is like what I was discussing with you yesterday on the issue of pronouns. They want you to use specific pronouns or to announce your pronouns, and also to use specific pronouns, and then whenever one starts announcing their pronouns, if they ever get their way, they'll the problem will be that when people announce their pronouns, some people have to use pronouns that are unexpected. So it doesn't solve any actual problem. It doesn't really make

any of this go away. If you celebrate Thanksgiving by having I don't know what maze and squash, and I don't know what the native dishes would be, and it depends on what the country right. But if you were to borrow from the native culture, then you would be guilty of cultural appropriation. So there's really no way to win. These are just people who just want to whine. They just want to complain. They don't want you to just be able to hang out with friends and family and

eat way too much, which we're all going to do. Man, I'm gonna have to carve out some time forget about carving the turkey of the carve out some time to get to the gym. The day after this just so I don't feel like a you know, you know, you know, one of those those bullfrogs where you can't even see its legs when it's sort of like, that's what I feel like after thinks I look like I feel i'd look like a bullfrog where you can't see any of its limbs because it's just kind of so gross. It's

just kind of spilling out. And that's what I woulda bell, I would say, they're rubing my belly. I told by. You know, my my parents have an amazing white French bulldog named Tulula, and my parents don't live far from me, so I'm able to go visit on a regular basis here in New York City. And the French bull she's a she's beautiful dog, great dog. French bulldogs. You know, Dana Lash I believe as a French hasn't. I think she has a couple of French bulldogs. She's got great

tasting dogs. French cheese are so cute. They're great for cities. Those of you that have country how not country houses, but houses in the country. And you know, yes, if I had twenty acres or whatever, two weeks an acre, if I had more than a couple of hundred square feet to live in. I'd probably get a lab or a Golden retriever. Oh maybe, I don't know, maybe a shepherd and a shepherd be kind of cool. I like

Bernese mountain dogs too, but they're enormous. You feel like you want to put a saddle on them for the kids. But don't do that. That's bad. Uh, was I saying, Oh yeah, tu lula um. We joked around though, because she's all she's all. She's all white. She's an all white dog, and she's gotten a little up there in years, and she's gotten a little she's got a little pudgy in her old age. And I found a photo and

I showed her my little sister. She looks like one of those white fur seals that you'll see try to like they're just like this mound of blubber on the ice, and that's how they try to hide from a polar bears. Doesn't always work. The Fredgie looks a little bit like that. These days, Mom's gonna yell at me for making fun of the Fredgie for big fat. But you know whatever, I don't even know she's got. She's busy cookie. I don't know if she's gonna see hear or see this

show so fun things. Give your dog some of the scraps from the table. Yeah, that's I think there's even a there's a parable in the Bible about this, right that the gentile. The gentile gets the scraps from the table. Give you know, your dogs sitting there seeing that turkey leg up on the table, seeing that giant hunk of delicious baked meat. By the way, baked ham is for Christmas. Turkey is Thanksgiving, baked ham is Christmas. Let's not get

it twisted. But keep your dog a little bit of a month, you give it a couple munches of it, you know what I mean. The dog deserves it. Cats, I leave up to the attitude. Cats even like people food like that. Do people feed cats from the table? Yeah? Anytime, because me and my girlfriend of a cat, and every like any time with the chicken or even like a little piece of pizza, you can give it. Oh yeah, yeah, there's something new every day. I don't even know that's

been much time around cats. There's only one duel certified, veteran owned background investigation and vetting company out there, and it is global Verification Network. My friends like Global Verification Network distinguished themselves some other people in the background check space by doing it all here in the States. They don't subcontract out the work. They're not just a front for other people and oftentimes foreign countries who are the

ones doing the actual investigation and assessment. That's why I want you to use Global Verification Network and all American veteran owned background investigation company. If you're hiring people, you know you've got to have background checks done. It's just a part of doing business and a very important one. So I trust Global Verification Network. I know you can too. Give them a call eight seven seven six nine five

one one seven nine. Again for any background investigation or vetting needs that you have, call eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine, or go to MYGDN dot com. That's my GDN dot com. It's kind of amazing and that people that spend their lives in politics can make some of the purely political decisions that they do make. I didn't get to talk to about this before I sort to throw this in the mix today.

A governor, former governor of Massachusetts, deval Patrick, has said that he's going to run and there's all this reporting that Obama. Obama gave him a blessing to run, I think, and deval Patrick had this to say about his race, pretty sure, Brandon, would you please play thirteen? And as I've watched the field, many of them friends develop and offer their message. I do sense that there's still space

for what I offer. And in fact, as I've gotten out and around over the course of the last ten days or so, I think that path is even wider than I imagined. I think deval Patrick's the only one who thinks there's a wide path for him to run for president. I'm just gonna put that out there. There was a photo that was circulating over the weekend of Deval Patrick at an event for Deval Patrick and there was nobody there. Nobody, so they had to cancel the

event because no person showed up to the event. Not I think they said that there were two who walked in and we're like, we're not gonna be the only two people here. So that's pretty much I think. I'll you even know about Deval Patrick's chances of winning the winning the presidency. I know that this is going to

be the big topic for everybody. If you're gonna If you're gonna talk politics at the Thanksgiving table, the big topic will likely be the twenty twenty election and who the best Democrat candidate will be for the twenty you know, who would be the best candidate or who would be the most likely to win. Perhaps if you're a Republican,

you're probably more likely to focus on that. I'm still putting my money on Elizabeth Warren, folks, and I'm pretty confident welcome back to him, Pretty confident that my Elizabeth Warren prediction is gonna be wrong. My Biden prediction, I think is going to be correct, that he's not gonna be the nominee. But I still don't know. I still don't know who is going to be the one who

steps forward when it's not by it. And it feels like Elizabeth warrenber her her whole Medicare for All debacle where she said she was going to pay for it without making anybody else have to pay for it, and all these different things. Elizabeth Warren, She's got problems obviously with her candidacase there are issues that I think we're gonna going to continue to face her, even on the left, and just the fact and we were talking about Native

Americans and the Thanksgiving holiday earlier on the show. Just the fact that she has been able to continue on as a viable candidate, despite the fact that she engaged in a multi decade long racial fraud is pretty stunning. Democrats seemed finely. Remember same people who are telling you Trump lies. Trump has a problem with the truth, you can't trust him, and all this stuff. I have no problem. Never mind Hillary Clinton, hollow who is in the pantheon

of corrupt and dishonest politicians. There's something, particularly for me, at least, there's something particularly odious about the way the news media has covered up for Hillary Clinton all these all these years, and the ways that she's like, I know, do you all agree that that's nothing? Quickly due here different, But you know they're really bashing these days. You've really got all the Democrats a little bit in in a foul mood. Michael Bloomberg because he's gonna I think that

here's his play. I've been thinking about this a lot more last night. Why act she went up for At first, let's do the bashing and then we'll get into what his play is. For example, we have Elizabeth Warren, so I am here on day two of Michael Bloomer thirty seven million dollars and five You know, Michael Bloomer is making a bit about democracy in twenty twenty. He doesn't need people, He only needs zags and bags of money.

This has been disproven so many times, and it's a it's a thing that politicians can only say because they think that their constituencies aren't very bright. Like Elizabeth Warren knows that Jeff Bush spent a vast sum of money and lost to the primary, didn't even get close to winning the primary in the twenty sixteen election, that Hillary Clinton dramatically outspent Donald Trump and Donald Trump as we know, winning.

Yet here we are she's still saying this that somehow Bloomberg might be able to buy the election, that Michael Bloomberg would be in a position to just run off with this thing because he's got bags bags of money to spend on it. He's not the only one. Do you got Bertie Sanders, who is very upset? Do you got another billionaire in the race? The oh get their class is destroying America by engaging in capitalism that creates

tremendous prosperity in thousands and thousands of jobs. Can we have a little bit of the Bernie Sanders vibe on the show, producer Brandon clip one, please clip one? And when he believes, and this is the arrogance of billionaires, Hey, I can run for president because I'm worth fifty five billion. And maybe I'll take one billion out of that fifty five billion O a lot when you're worth that much. And I gotta start running a massive amount of TVs

to California and in fact all over this country. And I think that is precisely one of the factors that is undermining American democracy. Here undermining democracy. People being able to use their private property to spread that message is undermining democracy. It is not undermining democracy. But really, what Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Centers want is mobocracy. Oh colocracy.

Just get the masses riled up on an issue. Don't let them That doesn't matter if they know what you really stand for, it doesn't matter if the math you're trying to sell them on doesn't add up. Just do whatever, Do whatever you've got to do in order to get the votes you have to get to be in power to further push America down the very destructive path of socialism. And this is where I think Bloomberg really comes in. I've been thinking more about this. I don't think Bloomberg

really believes he's going to be president. I just I don't know. I don't. I don't see it. He seems like a smart enough guy to know he's not going to win the presidency. But maybe that's not really his ultimate purpose here. I think he wants I think if he could win, he would take the job, and he would do it. I'm not saying that, but I think he've used this as a two pronged thing. One is the yeah, the vanity project act of running for president

given the very very weak field. Okay, fine. And also I think he sees what Donald Trump did after all the years that he said he was going to run, and then finally he runs and he wins. But I believe that Bloomberg understands that there's a real threat to everything that the Democrats believe in that comes from the openness and the intellectual flimsiness. But the open is about the socialism that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are pushing now,

not that they couldn't win. I think that unfortunately, especially if we hit a major financial downturn. And this is part of my concern for next year. I've said I have this something, there's something ominous that just keeps I'm concerned things can't stay the way they are right now going into the election. Something's going to happen. If you hit a very bad economic stretch in the election year. Who does that benefit the most? It certainly benefits Democrats

against Trump, There's no question. Then all of a sudden, you'll have news coverage of oh, the economy and unemployments going up, and they then, all of a sudden, will be the biggest story in the country every day. I'll flood the zone, even if it's a pretty moderate downturn, even if it's just a cyclical Okay, well, now we've got to kind of get some of the excess and get some of the you know, the bad money out of the system, so to speak. I mean, just sort

of let things reset. Even with that, they'll turn it into the biggest news store in the country, and they'll say that this is a repudiation of Donald Trump. But the people in the Democratic primary who would benefit the most from this are the far left, I mean, the socialists. People get scared and they turn to the government to

save them. People decide that when things get really bad, they never look at root causes, and government overspending and intervention and monetary policy and all the things that can make a downturn certainly much worse, if not be the primary cause of a downturn in the economy, the cyclical nature of these things. And there are people that I know who would argue that we shouldn't have to have cyclical, these cyclical downturns, and that this is the result of

monetary policy and central planning of our economy. By that, you know, and I people that just study this their whole lives go back and forth on this, and I'm not, you know, I'm not really one of them, although I do think I think the central planning is always is always something you want to do the bare minimum of, just like I think government is something you want to have very clearly delineated and limited. This goes back, of course to our founding philosophy, but I think that should

be the case as well. From the perspective of government intervention in the economy. It should be the absolute minimum necessary, really just the enforcement of contracts and the bare minimum of regulation, and that's not what we have now. But if you were to have a market that all of a sudden becomes really choppy and people get scared and bad things are happening, then you would see, I think, a big surgeon support for the far left the Democrat Party.

Remember that it was when socialism had a big rise in this country as a result of the Great Depression. The narrative was that capitalism had failed. In fact, some of the traders to this country who were people who were communists, who were doing the bidding of the Soviet Union,

and yes they existed, Yes that was real. They still pretend like we don't have more than a mountain of evidence, which we do that there were penetrations, Soviet penetrations of the United States government at a very high level, but also that there was tremendous there. There were efforts from the Soviet Union to infiltrate socialism and yes, communism into

this country, but there was an openness to it. The fellow travelers of the Communist Party in Moscow in this country believe that capitalism had failed, and they looked around, they saw this economic station and sat, see, we need a system where the government will will make sure that we are fed and everything is fair and everything will be better. That became a belief that was really easy for people of honestly, of good intention initially to support.

And so when people get scared, they don't look at the government and say what did you do? They look at the government and say, how could you help me?

So if we head into a bad economic period in the next year, you will see a big surgeon support for Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders and anybody who is far left on the Democrat spectrum and promising a whole lot of free The free stuff candidate becomes even though you can afford it even less with a bad economy, the free stuff candidate becomes very, very popular, very quickly, when all of a sudden everyone is scared. And that's where I think Bloomberg realizes that it's not a good

idea for this country to go socialist. A Bloomberg, who's a self made multi multi billionaire, understands that at some level, and perhaps he believes that his role here is just to make sure that whoever wins the Democrat primary, it's somebody that at least at a basic level, believes in the benefits of capitalism as some understanding of what really works and how markets make our lives better, at how markets bring about prosperity and do things for us as

a people that we should all, yes, dare I say we should be thankful for We should be thankful for capitalism today, thankful that we live in a country that is certainly imperfect and has far too much socialism and central planning going on, but is at least in some ways a better example than all of our near peers about how to pursue efficient markets and to empower the individual to make choices that benefit the individual, and then in the aggregate, those individual decisions that help that are

based in self interest create a better society around for all of the rest of us. They invent new things, they make good things, they help with things, they provide services that all of us benefit from. That is a lesson that I would hope that perhaps we could be talking about at the Thanksgiving table this year. That would

be that would be a better one. Tell the kids about why capitalism is great and that's why they've you know, you've got families all across the country that are going to be having a giant well I don't know whatever like a twenty pound bird or however big how big or like the average turkey, I don't even really know, you know what I mean, how how bigger? Like if you get like at standard Thanksgiving turkey, it's like, isn't

like fifteen pounds or not? There's a big Did you see that video of the turkey following around the mail truck every single stop? Oh, turkeys are terrifying. Yeah, so

they're big enough to do some damage. Turkeys. You know, you start to realize that, you know, there's that whole I don't know if that theory is still believed them, but that you had dinosaurs actually transitioned and you know, this was like around the Jurassic Park era when people started saying that they trends, they've evolved into birds over time.

You look, you look in the eyes, you look at those little beady eyes of a turkey, and you're like, you you're a great greg You know, Grandpa is probably a velociraptor. You know. Yeah, they look they look scary, they're mean, and they'll come after you. They'll chase you down, you know other you know, birds, You get too close to birds, you find out the hardway. They they're not they're not cuddly, and turkeys will chase you down. They can be very very aggressive, and they are ugly too.

They're one of the if you're thinking, like, what is the ugliest animal in the world, I think turkeys have got to be kinda up on that list. And they're really and they do you know, you think about like buzzards. I think that buzzards and vultures are very high up on the animals you don't want to be near and spend time around scale. You know. Yeah, they just look dirty all the time and they goblet underneath. You don't know what's going on. It's not cool. Yeah, but they

taste pretty They taste pretty good. Um, so we're gonna be We're gonna beat in some turkey. They're gonna have some turk sandwiches the day after that, turkey, turkey, turkey for days and days and days. Good things, my friends.

I think the concern of this perspective that makes it sound like, you know, it's all the fault of students of color or somehow their families that they struggle to get ahead, and when the reality is there are so many barriers that our system puts up, and I want to make sure I communicated that I'm very conscious of the advantages and privileges that I have had, not through any great wealth, but certainly through education, through the advantages

that come with being white and being male. And that's part of why I know I've got to make myself useful as a candidate and as president. Pete Buddha Judge got into some trouble here with the Democrats because he tried to talk about education and particularly education and minority communities and what could be done to improve things. And this is probably a surprise, dude, none of you listening,

but guess what. There are only certain things you're allowed to say when you're talking about minorities and education in America if you are a white male, period. But if you're a white male running for elected office and all use, the only things you're allowed to say, and this was established once again with Mayor Peter you the only things allowed to say is systemic racism, racism, barriers to minorities, more racism, and more resources needed because racism, that's it.

You deviate from that as a Democrat, you go in any other director you talk about, well, maybe we'll look at how what are charter schools? Which charter schools are public schools. It's just money that it's just a different format for a public school. But anyway people who oh, it drains money from public schools is a silly it's a strange argument. But you're not allowed to have an open conversation about education when education is failing in so

many underprivileged minority communities across the country. It's just it's just sad. It's it's really it's really troubling. The people that are supposed to be in positions of power that can do something about this or could come up with new ideas either are unwilling to or aren't allowed to. They're not allowed to come up with things ideas to help. I mean, I know people that teach in schools here in New York City that are that are almost that are entirely as a as a function of the way

the school is set up underprivileged backgrounds. People that have to be either from section they at housing or I forget what the designation is, but they've received some form of welfare. The schools entirely minority, and I hear about what goes on at that school and The problem is not resources. The problem is not a lack of computers or textbooks. I mean, these are things that you'll hear. The problem is not there's not enough money for teachers

or there's not enough teachers. That those are not the problems. Problems are. And this is from teachers I know in one school in particular here in New York City that's entirely underprivileged and minority, that problems are things like students

are unwilling to listen to authority. They're unwilling to be silent when they're told that it's time for someone who presented the class, or are they they don't show up, or they there are all these other issues that come up in the classroom, and there's no support for students to do their homework at home. This is what I

hear from teachers all the time. But if you're a Democrat and you can't talk about any of that, if you're a Democrat, you know what the script is, What is the problem with education as it pertains to minority majority schools and minority neighborhoods where the test scores are very low and education is not succeeding. The answer is racism. Racism, racism, structural racism, and more racism. If you say anything other than that, you will be crushed by your own side

as a Democrat. And that's just sad because you know who suffers as a result of that, Kids who cannot count on adults to have adult conversations about how to make the education system better for all kids, and in particular minority kids in this country. And this is the Democrat's fault. This is what they do. I understand what it's like to go through the process of buying life insurance. I had to do it before I went overseas. It

home stretch here before the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm the bloc sex in the show, and this is where we just throw into the mix whatever we feel like. So I feel like it all we could do. Actually, let's we'll do kind of an extended roll call slash hangout session with Buck producer Brandon. Just we're here. I can I can smell the turkey in your oven right now. I can almost taste those mashed potatoes you've got going on

the stove top. And so I feel like we're just gonna let this, uh sit back, relax and let the good Thanksgiving times role play a roll call. Please, ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Bucks turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed, it's time for roule call. Autobots. What is it? Rollout? Is that right? I always feel like our voiceover guy, he's great. I

feel like he sounds a little like Optimus Prime. All right, We're getting the Facebook, Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton for roll call purposes or Team Bucket. iHeartMedia dot com and something new today, something new that I'm gonna do because I want you all follow me on the Instagram as well. It's very difficult to remember my Instagram name, and it's buck Sexton. Just buck Sexton. Type it in Instagram. Please do follow me there. And we have some folks

writing in on Instagram show. We have a guy writes in Let's call him Cooper because I'm not sure what his name is. He wrote me on Instagram, where you can also send You can send me direct messages on Instagram just like you can send messages. And keep in mind the staff here has access to everything too, so you know, family show. But we have Cooper writes and couldn't find a way to contact you v your website.

But I just wanted to say Young Guns is by far a better movie than Men at Work, Shields High and Center five with thank you, Cooper. I appreciate it. I think that that's a I think that's an astute analysis of the situation. So there it is, my friend, there it is in a student analysis. Indeed, I think that it is a better definitely a better movie than Men at Work. I'm not really a big Amelia West de Bes guy in general, but if you haven't seen Young Guns and you like westerns, it's kind of like

a almost like a hipster Western or something. I don't know. It's it's very much a nineties movie, but it's pretty good. I saw it with my brothers so many times. Hunter writes in again on the Graham, awesome of us the instagrams.

We're going to instagram with Facebook, we'll do emails. We're just having a little bit of a having a loose last session here because hm, I can just I can almost taste those the crewe dete that you've laid out, you know, just as little palate cleanser, perhaps some stalks of celery with a bit of blue cheese, a bit of blue cheese dressing to dip in. Not ranch dressing, folks, blue cheese dressing. All right, let's be civilized, Hunter writes. My name is Hunter, and I'm from Texas. I want

to tell you how much I support you. I'm very recent Christian, and I became a follower of Jesus from a totally unlikely background. I was previously an extremely left wing liberal Jew. In the span of the last year, all those things have changed. I've begun to be transformed because of this change. I've become a huge fan of yours and your leadership for conservatism and traditional values and masculinity in America. But I'm actually most impressed by what

an amazing person you are. Studying the Bible and following Christ with the Christian community helps me see that, and that's what made me want to share with you how much I've changed and been impacted by your example. Thank you so much for being an amazing role model in christ Hunter Well, Hunter, God blessman. Thank you so much. It's a very very kind message, and I hope I will. I hope I can going forward live up to that message, because this is a very very nice thing that you

wrote in So thank you so much. I don't know I see, I don't know people's names because I only have their screen and I don't want to use people's screen names without asking them first. So we'll just call this guy Rob, even though that's not his name. Hey Buck, I was catching up on the podcast as a licensed mental professional. I want to clear up a misconception. There

are many mental health providers who are conservative. However, mental health providers do not have conscious conscientious protection and face a very liberal lineup of higher education institutions, journals, and associations such as the APA and ACA. For any conservative mental health provider who would like to surround themselves with those who see the truth and the true effects of medical surgical treatment of gender dysphoria, aap log has a

new mental health wing working on spreading the truth. I don't know what aplog is, but thank you quote Rob, because I don't know what your real name is the mental health professional. I appreciate I appreciate you writing in. And yeah, I didn't say that all people who are mental health practitioners are liberals. It's just the most by party affiliation, it is the most liberal of the mental health professions. So you have more Democrats who are shrinks

than you do, say, have Democrats who are surgeons. And now we will transition. Remember guys, check out the Graham Buck on the Instagram. I'll probably post a photo of Tallulah. I'll be scratching her belly, feeding your giant chunks of seared turkey meat. I guess I wouldn't be seared, it would be baked. You bake a road Do you roast or bake a turkey? You roast a turkey? Right? This is great. What's the difference in roasting and baking that?

I couldn't tell you, but right, I've always heard the terminology, know turkey. I mean you put in the oven, you turn the heat up, you roast in it, and you're baking it. Roast sounds more. I know that the thing with the fire at the top is the broiler, and you get to bast it too, and you bait. I know what basting is. It's where you you dripped the juice all over it. Right, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

I've never really been involved in the turkey cooking. One day I'll have to learn how to do this myself. I have learned how to cook that bird. I might go see a movie bout, Michael C. Have you seen um Ford Versus Ferrari? I might go check it out. No, but I did finally see Joker. What do you think it is probably one of the best, uh comic movies I've seen in a very very long time. Yeah, because it focused more on speaking of mental health, focus more on the person and the story instead of all the

CGI stuff going on. It was it was a real it was a real story that had human connection and an impact, and it felt like it felt like something that people would remember afterwards. Sure. Yeah, I look, I thought it was I thought it was excellent, and people said it was so sounds. I mean, there's some violent stuff, but it's not super it's not ultra violent. No. I mean, if you're going pulp fiction and this stuff back in

the day, it's not like that. No. No, I mean maybe compared to Aunt Man and some of the lighter comic movies perhaps, but as far as the movie itself, I mean, you see any Tarantino movie, Those are violent, very violent. Yeah, I'm by the way, I am. I am an anti Tarantino guy. As far as his movies in general, or just him as, I don't like him. You don't like pulp fiction, I don't like any of it, all right, I've seen a lot of it. No, I know, people look at me like I'm crazy. I mean, did

you like inglorious bastards. Yeah, not one of my favorites by him, but reservoir dogs. No, wait, hold on a second producer, Nick, who's coming in from the mother ship. He says, here we go. So now, I mean, now I don't sound like a fool on radio. Roasting occurs at higher temp ritures with an uncovered pen. So that how okay? How many of you at home really knew the difference he's baking and roasted. I mean, you know there are different things, But did you know that I

didn't know that. We need to get the more you know, sound bite on the board. Knowing is half the battle, remember that. Yeah, we grew up, we do. We grew up with such better cartoons. Yeah, we grew up with cartoons that made us Americans. You know. Now they grew up with cartoons. It's like they're making a little teletubby communists. Yeah, you know, it's not good. It's not good. All right? So I know what roasting guys? I learned? Hey, learn something,

learn something new every day. It's kind of exciting. David. Fuck, You're right about the euro marketing campaigns. Remember far fig Nugan. It sounded awesome until they started lying about their fuel efficiency and it almost sunk them. Keep up the work, take care. What's a far fig Nugan? Do we know? Producer Brandon, I might need you to google this one. I don't know what to f I'll google it. But I guess thought that was a name you would call

some boss. It's Vassist. I'm farfek Nugan. Yeah, I don't know fafeknugans or nickt kut zeffik nugan. What is that? Is it a car? In German? It's a German word that means driving pleasure or driving enjoyment. It's used mostly to talk about the pleasure and delight one gets from driving around. Ohtoo doan? Yeah? So what makes a car of Voltswagen? Found got something new every day? And San Look, it's this is a learning section of the soul. Will we just do these things where we learn? Yeah? Now

is the time on spruckets where we dance. You know, you remember, I don't care anybody says those were the SNL glory days. I'm as HAPs what's up there? We'd go? I'm as happy as a little girl. Yeah, Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, that was the Chris Farley, that was the peak. You go back and watch people look, oh yeah, this guy Belushi where there's like cheeseburger, cheeseburger and like the samurai sushi that's not fat stuff. That might have been funny fifty years ago. Man, that stuff doesn't hold up.

I know all the Boomers are gonna yell at me. It's fine. I love you Boomers. James writes in I'm having problems with the roll call audio. Is the other person even your normal audio is louder than you. Blah blah, guys. I don't I don't know, man, I don't know what the problem is with the audio. Producer Mark gets so he's not here right now. Can you get married in a few days? May I look at that producer? Mark

gets so churmudgeonly. I'm telling you so curmudgingly. When I tell him, hey, you know, people are saying that there's audio problems the podcast, He's like, I don't want to hear any of this nonsense from any of you. So I want to hear it, though, So keep telling me if there's a problem, But I'll just I'll feed it the producer Mark, and we'll make sure we you know. I'll give him. I'll give him some cookies or something to make sure he doesn't get mad at me. I'll

buy him off somehow. Take it just a little moment of a little moment of zen. Here and we're rolling with roll Call right before Thanksgiving, because I'm here working hard, doing a show for all of you. Even though a lot of my peers are like, oh, I'm gonna take a three day a three day holiday during the week. I'm sorry. His freedom gonna spread itself? Is the freedom Hutch just gonna, you know, do its own thing without us here to make sure that the Libs, the commies,

and the evildoers are held responsible. I think not. I think we all know the answer to that question. So we get back into this, my men, Here we go. Next up we are, We're doing the Facebook. We'll get to the emails if I can figure out where they are, Victor. Victor writes, greetings, Oh, great one, what has happened to the Drudge Report? As Master Yoda would say, the dark side I sense in you? Is that pretty good? That's

pretty good? Right? My Yoda wasn't bad for a guy never does Yoda on the show or does yoga, but doesn't do Yoda either, A little bit of Grovey. Yeah, it might be the same guy, though voices it could we Matt Drudge seems way too negative on Trump lately, as abundantly clear as a bright, sunning day along the horizon, Thank you buck. Yeah, people have gotten kind of upset with Drudge recently. I don't really know what that's about. I don't know why why we got Drudge all of

a sudden, not really being on the Trump train. It's not even that sudden. It's been a while now. But I don't know. Trudge is a is a shadowy, shadowy figure, shadowy character. He's elusive, like a snow leopard. You never know where you're gonna find him, never know where he's gonna turn up. And I guess snow leopards actually have to stay at high altitude in very limited regions. But you know what I'm saying, hard to find. I don't know what the deal is with Drudge. I never met him.

I've never talked to Matt Drudge, so I don't know. I don't even think he knows who I am, So I can't say that I have anything like that. Here we go, Matt writes in oh a little more. The more you know. Doo doo, doo doo. Remember that, Matt writes in because I mentioned that the sweetbreads yesterday, we're disgusting, And I'm correct. There's that trying to save you all from making the mistake that many of may before if going to restaurant like, oh, sweetbreads. I like bread. I

like things that are sweet. Perhaps I shall like sweetbread. No, it is not like chocolate flavored bread. It is, as Matt points out, the thymus or pancreas glands. That sounds even grosser than what I was talking about. I think I would take intestines over thymus or pancreas. Honestly, maybe not. Intestants are kind of gross too. And he also says here that tongue taste like pot roast. I believe you, but let me also say that I don't know what pot roast taste like, so I can't say if it

tastes like tongue or not. I don't have ever had it. Brand In Hey, brother Buck and producer Mark Shields high congrats in the upcoming wedding this weekend. Producer Mark, marriage is not easy, but nothing good, ever, is just remember the words of Winston Churchill, never never, never give up praying for you both. God bless you and your future bride.

Producer Mark, back to business. Last night, I was at the Polhattan, Virginia Board of Supervisors meeting where a board voted to make our county a Second Amendment sanctuary county due to the gun grabbing legislation that the Democratic Party is voting on in January. There's a wave of patriots attending these meetings in record numbers. I haven't seen anything like this since the Tea Party movement. The organization that informed me about it is called the Virginia Citizens Defense

League or VCDL. As of last night, Virginia has had fifteen counties become Second Amendment sanctuary counties, and many more have planned to meet. Shields are high in Virginia. Brother, God bless you Airborne all the way. Brandon. Sounds like a Second Amend sanctuary thing is a good, good move, So good luck and God bless on that. Let me know, let me know how that goes. I don't know. I hadn't heard about this before. So see, we're learning all

kinds of new things here on the show. That is just the way it is on the Buck Sexton Show, Adam Right's Buck Good News. Timberlake was caught with his hands in the cookie jar. That's a Jessica Bill. Maybe Jessica Sexton. After all, there's Hope Shields High. Oh what did producer Brandon? What did Timberlake do? I didn't even see this, do we know? I couldn't tell you. I'll have to google that one as well. How could Eddie Man cheat on Jessica Bill? Good? Heavens good, heavens Man.

I say, it's absurd, How absurd? I don't know if that happened or not. You know, maybe maybe Timberlake was just, you know, working on some choreography super late at night in the hotel room or something. I don't know, he was spotting justin that is JT to the to the kids holding hands with the co star of his I guess on some movie set. Yeah, is that? I don't know. Is that a thing I like? Is that? I mean? Hell,

the hand a little? I mean like, okay, if I were married and somebody was holding my wife's hand who was not a you know, immediate relative or something like her dad, that might I think that's a bother party foul. There could be more to the story. Maybe there could be Maybe they were just working on the hand holding for the next big scene. Yes, yes, I don't know. I'm trying to I'm trying to find the bright side here. I'm not trying to revel in the marital misery of

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. Even though she was my high school CROs when we were growing up, so she was pretty. She's pretty fantastic. Mary Camp did seventh have a man and we were the same age. She was great, she could even she even even good at basketball, just saying, I mean I was probably better. Uh. Gina Wright's book Appetite for Destruction, Shield Tie and rock On. What was that? Oh? She? I think she's I think that Gene's trying to be helpful.

I don't know she understands that. Brandon, what is your podcast called? Because you have a podcast, I appreciate you asking Appetite for Distortion, which of course is a playoff Appetite of Destruction, their first Landmark album. So producer Brandon over here does a show where he talks about everything guns and roses. Right, Yeah, a lot of profile interviews, So it's not just hey, my favorite song, my favorite album.

You know, if whether it's a former band member or a comedian and author, um, you know, is there a casema that Slash is the greatest rock guitarist of all time? I wouldn't think so. Oh yeah, Now I thought I was giving you an easy one to like that is I mean, does Hendricks, Eddie van Halen. I mean, there's there's a lot Stevie Ray Vaughan, there's so many Eric Clapton, There's there's a lot up there. But but Slash does have a cool top hat. Oh absolutely, she still rocks.

We're rolling here with a special Thanksgiving role call. Want to bring in all the voices from across the country. Is you're getting ready, you're just oh, you can smell that turkey. You can just oh, you can taste it. Hopefully you're not stuck in traffic somewhere trying to get to see your loved ones. So that will certainly be the case for some people as they're listening to this,

because man, those Thanksgiving roads we used to go. We used to go visit my dad's mother, so my grandmother on the father's side, down in Charlottesville, Virginia, and we would drive down to Charlottesville, all six of us, because I want to force those four kids and my family and my mom and dad, and we would drive down there, and many times we made that made the trip in a Cadillac Sedan, like an old school I think it was from like nineteen seventy eight or something, and this

was in the nineties, so really old Cadillacs, a dad that did not have air conditioning that worked, by the way, which was not a big deal for going down for Thanksgiving, but when we would drive down there for fourth or July, that was not always optimal. It was it was suboptimal.

But driving down to Thanksgiving and driving down to Charlotte's Villliver Thanksgiving from New York City, it's like you're trying to go to do the worst leg of travel in the worst single corridor in the entire country as a as a tradition, but it brought us closer as a family. There were times were almost run out of gas, there were flat tires, there were you know, incidents of plenty on that on that road trip back of the day.

And you know, this is before we all had smartphones and GPS and everything else, so you know, you got into a road trip. There was a little bit of like a little bit of like a you know, Lewis and Clark vibe. You're like, I don't know if we go. I don't know if we're gonna make it. You know, I don't know if we're gonna get all the way down to charlottes Ville, Virginia. We get down there, and I remember being kid, I was like, these people all have these kind of funny accents, like, oh hello bug.

Well in the Charlotte's vie, I was like, oh, wow, hello to you. You know, it's great. Um. They don't have those accents in northern Virginia. Like when I worked with the CIA, you go around, none of that in Northern Virginia. But you get down to Charlotte's when people actually have the cool accents. So they don't all say I do Claia, though, which makes me, oh, I do Declaia. That's not a thing us New York. They don't have a fan. They don't not say ohoo, good loo Declaia.

That's not a turns out people in the South don't actually say I learned this when I was a kid, because I was a New Yorker. I was a Yankee from New York City. So yeah, man, we used to go down. There's a long, long road trip. So any of you that are stuck on the road and we're in traffic out I'm just telling you, at least you can and you have buck Sexton podcast to keep you company.

If if for some reason you make the ill advised choice not to indulge in just catching up in Buck Sexton podcasts, you could listen to an enormous music library on your phone or on your touch screen and your whatever it may be. And that's just it's such a game change from what it used to be. I mean, I remember being stuck in that car. There's nothing to do,

so look out the window. Just look at the window for hours and hours and hours and hours, and you're like, okay, you know we're on like I ninety five two, So there's no charm. There's no charm. That's how I got to No New Jersey. Drive through New Jersey as like, ah, I know what this is. This is all the chemical plants and the smells. This is New Jersey. Remember when I was a little kid, we drive all the way down to Charlotte'sville. It was quite a thing shots was

pretty though. The Uba campus is really nice. I liked it down there, all right, I said, we're doing roll call. I didn't mean to take you too far down memory in the lane. I do remember also though, eating a fair amount of food at those rest stops, and man, rest stops have gotten so much nicer now. You go down you drive from like you drive on ninety five and you go to restaurant rest stop, they're basically like offering you a Shiatsu massage and do you want a

wheat grass shot? And oh they have they have, you know, organic and sustainable turkey burgers for you. I mean, rest stops have gone into a whole other direction. True of stadium food too, Like I go to stadiums now and they're like, oh, would you like would you like some some seared brisket with a side of roasted Brussels sprouts? And I'm like, I remember when you went to a game and it was like you were lucky if you get a big thing of soggy French fries. You were

pretty much only ga and ted popcorn and hot dogs. So, you know, kids these days they don't realize how good they've got it, you know, now, I'm about to be the gray beard millennial who's calling it out when you're going, you know, all for all the young all the young uns who we're listening to this right now. If you are a gen Z and you're traveling with your family, just understand something. Kid, You got it easy, all right. You got your little smartphone, video games, texting your friends,

everything else. Man, I used to have to get into a small, uncomfortable sedan with five other people as a kid and sit in traffic for like ten hours just to get down to see some relatives in Virginia. And that was a form that was a formative experience for all of us. Let me tell you that, Man, what I wouldn't give to if I could have at that point in time had some kind of little video game player, would have been amazing. Would have really helped out or

read books, that's a thing you could do. I have not forgotten about that. I've not forgotten that books are a possibility for those of the one to do that. Jeremy writing it on the roll call Buck, do you think if the media, including yourself, just ignore the impeachment hearings, they would lose even more traction? Also with Andrew Yang and Tulsea Gabbard being pushed to the side of the DNC primary. Could the Democrats be peddling dare I say racism the one issue they see him to think separates

them from Republicans. I say this in Jess, but it's interesting to see the front runners are all old and white. She'll tell you. I have a great Thanksgiving. Have a great Thanksgiving to you, Jeremy. Thank you so much for writing in. I think Jeremy's a woe who listener. And Fort Wayne, Indiana and the house we have ever been in four Indiana. Lovely place, lovely people. Have been a couple of times. Actually, yeah, it's nice. Indiana is America,

you know, Manhattan's not really America. I don't know what this is. This is some kind of international protectorate with way too high real estate costs. Axel Roses from Lafayette, Indiana. Is he really? Yeah? He? He is not looking so good these days. No comments? Uh fushing sixty or is he really? He's not sixty yet, but he's mid to late fifties. Wow, I know that. Just that just is mine.

I mean, I will never think of him as anything other than guy doing the Axl Rose dance on stage, you know, like the kind of moving the legs on the side that think that you snake dance the Davy Jones dance. Yeah, and and like, I mean, okay, what is the By the way, we've never had this discussion before, as people are probably stuck in their cars or cooking their Thanksgiving meals or just hanging out. The greatest, the greatest Guns and Roses song of all time? My friend,

what is it? I think this is an easy answer, so I'm kind of I think Welcome to the Jungle is the most universally beloved interesting either that or Sweet Child, Sweet Child Mine? Okay, I guess Sweet Child of Mine. Okay, I think that's one of the greatest. It's not a rock anthem, and I think it's one of the I think you could argue it's one of the ten greatest actual rock songs of I mean certainly of my lifetime. I could say that people always put it in there. Oh,

this is like what they do with movies. Though black and white movies are so good, they're but that's crap. Black and white movies are mostly boring and do not hold up same thing about older rock with them. Oh, but you know, you really, if you really want the good stuff you've then you've got to listen. I'm like, the Beatles had as much garbage as they did good stuff. Well they did a lot, so I guess you can't win them all. A lot of it was not not so not so good, you know. I mean, Hendrix has

a couple of really really good songs. I mean, I appreciate that you said that Hendrix might be the greatest rock guitars of all time. I think I could go for that. I could get into it, but I sweech out in the Mind is amazing. Welcome to the Jungle is that. It's definitely it's one of those two because it's not November rain, That's for sure. That's my favorite. That's my personal favorite. What it is? I like what is happening the epics mixed in with the rock. I like,

I like the grand of it. I oh man, I just went for them trying. That was one I get marked back. I can't even remember what's it, so I get mark back here. No, no, no, it's fun. I'm just trying to think of what the other the other great Guns and Roses songs are. Well, this is why I because you can speak to everybody universally with politics. Despite the fact that Gina was my favorite band to me, no matter what generation you are, you know sweet shad

of Mine, you know. So that's that's the point. You can ask anybody in the street. They know that song. It's a look, it's a fantastic song, um so, and it's one of those few songs from a Guns and Roses considered a hair band that's actually a topic of conversation sometimes. I don't think so. I think they kind of killed that a little bit. I mean because they

did have super long hair. They did, But I mean maybe because in the Welcome to the Jungle video actual teases his hair up, you know, with the AquaNet back in the day, huh would you have done that if you were I mean, I would those guys. I feel like there was nothing quite like being a true rock star in the eighties and nineties for just you know, having a lot of fun and doing whatever the heck you want. Just to picture you're you're swoop with AquaNet and just teased out is I don't even know what

AquaNet is, but o, it's like hairspray. It's just like crazy hair spray. Yeah, I mean the swoop. The swoop really, I mean basically if I was in a band, it would be a hair band because of the swoop by definition. Sure, So that's that's one way to that's one way to keep keep things rolling along. Here. We got a little more roll call coming your way. And then you're gonna be eating turkey, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, all that good stuff. All right, let's just close out our pre Thanksgiving show.

We should have, you know, we should have like loaded in some you know, some thanks is there? What does Thanksgiving music? Is there such a thing? Is it Thanksgiving music? There should be give thanks for Thanksgiving? You know something like that. Well, just like how Adam Sandler does are very h one of two or three depending upon who asked Connika songs, he does have a turkey song, really turkey for me and turkey for you. Cool dobble gobble goo. You know how Sandler does it? I I did not

That is the uh that is the way to send me an email, So please do send it in. Let's see here, Jason right, Buck, your voice is a pleasant combination of Christian Slater and Dan Carlin from hardcore History. Love the show, Shields high. Okay, thanks, I'll take it. Christian Slater huh, I've never gotten that

one before. You're a little Christian Slater in there. Yeah, I do now, Huh who Christians later was a little bit of Jack Nicholson two, So maybe your interest descendant of Jack Well. I guess that's that's possible. Um, let's see next up in the inbox here, Tyler, Hey, Buck, I've been listening to you for round seven years. Wow. I've always enjoyed it, appreciated your analysis and insights, and I spread the word about the Buck Sexton Show every chance I get. Mostly just want to reach out and

thank you for what you're doing. No, Tyler, I gotta thank you for what you're doing. That is, that is what is helping the show grow. And every time somebody tells me they got somebody else listen to the show, I just I appreciate it so much. It's the single best thing you can do to help us keep doing what we're doing here and do more programs, products, more things,

more podcasts, more video, more everything. Next, I'd like to recommend a book to you called Day of War, which is the first of the Line of War series by Cliff Graham, who's a veteran and primarily writes biblical war fiction. These books are fantastic. I think you dig them. Huh, here we go. Lastly, I reasonally saw that justin Tiberlake was see it out with another woman, so the window could be open for you to take a run of Jessica Bill just trying to be a good wingman shield time. Tyler.

Thank you, Tyler. I think unfortunately I'm not in the right tax bracket for miss Beale, but it is nonetheless, it is appreciated that you guys. It's like I got It's like I've got thousands and thousands of Team Buck wingman all across the country. You're just looking out for, you know, because they want, you know, producer Marks getting married. I know people want it's time for it's time for host Buck to get married, and you know, make a little mini bucks or buckets or whatever too. I don't

think we're gonna called them bucket. That wouldn't work. To buckle down, to buckle down, that's right. Um let us see here. Omer all right, it's hey Buck, longtime fan. Love the show Shieldsy. Today you played a clip of Kamala Harris talking about her pharma plan. Believe it or not, I actually think there's a good idea presented somewhere in her ramblings. Not the part about stripping companies of their

patents that was obviously blunkers. It was the part about setting a cap on drug prices that is based on global averages that has merit, though not for the reasons Kamala thinks it does. I'm a Canadian citizen who's working in the public hell care industry and clinical research, and I have to tell you it's true that our drug prices are much lower than yours are in the States, but only because we cheat health. Canada puts a cap on drug prices that is significantly lower than the free

market value of all medication. Some drug companies don't bother any of the Canadian market because of this cap, but most capitulate. The reason they put up with this is that the revenue they are making from the high the high free market drug prices in the US more than covers the cost of R and D and regulatory adherents. Therefore, drug companies are still able to turn a profit in Canada on razor thin margins. It's in this way the US subsidizes drug prices for Canada and really the rest

of the world. Yeah, I've heard about this. Kama thinks likely putting a peg on drug prices based on the world average will bring US drug prices down to level the rest of the world. Chet is wrong. The drug industry is too capital intensive and high risk to exist on such small margins worldwide. Again, the only reason other con he's get away with it is they're leading on

the high markups US citizens pay for their drugs. If the US were to stop paying those high prices, the whole industry would collapse and all likelihood what this policy would do is forced the drug companies to raise the cost of medication globally to ensure the high rates of the US market remain intact. Wow, this is fascinating. He's got more and more and more here. I hope that was co here, And let me know if you need me to clarify anything. Thanks for hearing me. I'll keep

up the good work. Ohmer, Ohmer, that's fascinating man. Thank you so much somebody. Really, I've heard this argument before, but it sounds like you're somebody who works in the industry and has a particular expertise and background in it. Now Here we have to Bill who writes Buck? Is this true? And I can't see what you're asking me other than that, So the answers I don't know, Daniel Buck love the impressions, even though Warden sounds a bit like Flute from hr puffin Stuff, and your Betto sounds

totally like Kyle from the Amanda Show. So glad I found your show. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Dan in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Thank you, Dan, Wow, Elisabeth Warren. Sure he just wants all the millionaire horehound in the billionaires could be paying for healthcare that's gonna be free for all. Have you? And then you've got what was her? Who's your betto? I just I think Betto sounds like better. I don't know. I don't think anyone else really sounds

like better. I kind of miss him being in the race because we had so much fun with Betto when he was in. Do you remember that show Duckman. It was a cartoon on USA with a Georgie's Alexander. There was a good character on their named Ajax that you sound like. Oh really, so if anyone gets that reference, good for you. That's a that's some vague stuff. I don't I've never never heard of any of that. So thank you for bringing to my attention, Producer Mark Uh,
