You are entering the freedom hunt. More fallout after the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein, as some very powerful people are going to have some explaining to do. We will get into that. Plus a video goes viral of an exchange out in San Francisco where something that could be every day, well it might have ruined one person's reputation and then some. And we have all the latest on the border crisis and the insurgency from the Democratic Party that looks like
it could overthrow Pelosi's power. That and more coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake You're a great American Again, The Bucks Exton Show begins. Well, I knew him, like everybody in Palm Beach knew him, and people in Palm Beach knew him. He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don't think I've spoken to
him for fifteen years. I wasn't a fan. I was not yeah, a long time ago, I'd say maybe fifteen years. Uh. I was not a fan of his. That I can tell you I was not a fan of his. Welcome
to the Buck Sexton Show. All this focus on Trump's relationship with Epstein, which is from what we know from the records, not just from what the President says minimal to nonexistent, and we'll talk more about some of those details later, And so little focus on Clinton, despite the fact that he released a statement saying that he only flew on the plane a few times, that his Secret
Service detail was always with him. Well, that conflicts with other with other stories, with other investigations on this done by reporters. Some reporters the Miami Herald give credit where it's due. Local news organizations will still sometimes step up because the stories just too good and their professional pride maybe clouds a little bit of the usual whatever's best for the Democratic Party is what I will do mentality. So the Miami Herald gets credit here for doing some
good investigative work on the Jeffrey Epstein case. But a lot of people are standing around saying, well, hold on a minute, Why did it take so long for us to get to this point. Why is it that people on the ride have been talking about this issue for years and they were treated like conspiracy theorists. I mean, here you have a billionaire who was engaged in some of the most egregious sexual conduct you can think of, illegal, immoral, illicit, and is tied to some of the most powerful people
in the United States. Media didn't have more interest in this. This wasn't you know, there wasn't more of the same media that presents us with me too and that whole moment of feminist and women's rights revolution. We're all of a sudden, all these perpetrators had to be taken down, and finally were taken down, many of them absolutely rightfully so,
most of them rightfully so. And yet the Epstein story just never really got that much attention, and we have to we have to think why that is, because what could have been a fatter target in so many ways for the Democrats. Then oh my gosh, President Trump is going to be you know, he knew this guy. I mean, we have had we had a woman come forward, what was it two weeks ago, saying that Trump raped her thirty years ago, who was clearly deranged, I mean, clearly
has problems, has definite psychological issues. The media treated her like she was serious, incredible until she went on TV and talked about rape fantasies and quote rape as sexy on Arison Cooper's show, and he looked like he melted in real time on TV when she said it. Whatever credibility CNN has left, they seem to enjoy letting on fire in front of the American people. But that's what it is. It is what it is, as they say. But the Epstein store was always hanging around, always in
the background, so much here. Where are the made for TV specials? Where's the major investigative pieces on this? Why wouldn't they have done? They have tied the such flim things to Trump from his past. Why wouldn't they make more of this? Now? I think it's because, one, they probably recognize that Trump would be able to say that this wasn't it wasn't somebody that was a close friend of his, It's not somebody had He wasn't involved in getting this guy out of criminal jeopardy in any way.
So it's not Trump's problem. Oh but what about another really powerful important figure, one around whom the Democrats not only rallied when he was president for eight years, but then planned to foist upon the American people for another eight years the most odious, dishonest, disgusting political dynasty of my lifetime, the Clintons. That's right, Hey, I just thought I'll just take a whole bunch of rods on this guys they're playing It wouldn't be a big deal, and
I didn't know nothing about it. Does anyone believe that Bill Clinton really knew nothing about this? Bill Clinton, really, nobody, nobody gave him a heads up. He and forget about what he knew from the papers in the press. He spent a lot of time with this individual, with this Epstein. People knew that he liked to hang out with young, in fact, very young, troublingly young and perhaps illegally young women, in amorous so to speak, situations where he would present
himself as a boyfriend of theirs in public. This is written about the Vanity Fair article. You know that the people say, well, are they old enough to be his dates? So to speak? Now, this is separate from the human trafficking aspect of it. But you're going to tell me that, well, it's not totally separate, but it's a different specific charge,
a different specific instance. You're going to tell me that Bill Clinton didn't know something was up here, something was wrong that this guy was engaging at least inappropriate, and now we find out deeply criminal and horrific conduct with young girls, exploitative human trafficking, paying young girl. I mean, just this guy should have spent the rest of his
life in prison the first time around. And just as a as a guy, I look at this situation, I say myself, Bill Clinton was around him all this, all this time, and didn't pick up on any of this, didn't know about it. I find that very very hard to believe. And here's an investigative journalist who seems to somewhat agree with my thesis. Played twenty one. I have read too much information, and I have spoken to too
many people on the inside. I actually attempted to interview Clinton, but he would not, he did not agree to do so. And I know from the pilot logs, and these are pilot logs that you know, were written by different pilots and at different times that Clinton went. He was a guest of Clint of Epstein's twenty seven Times, Now You Tell Me. Doug Banns was also on the plane many times. Many of those times Clinton had his Secret Service with him,
and many times he did not. Almost every time that Clinton's name is on the pilot logs, there are underage girls, there are initials, and there are names of many, many girls on that private plane. So you have to ask yourself, and this is what I asked myself, why would anyone, not only a former president, fly on a plane twenty seven times that did not belong to him? Does anyone want to try to answer that one, because that's a tricky one, isn't it. Luna is plane twenty seven times.
He's Bill Clinton, He's a public figure. I granted, I think that he also has a bit of a not just a malignant narcissism, but a kind of god complex where he was able to get away with such disgrace while president, while in office that he probably figured he could do a whole lot of things that anyone else would say, You've got to be kidding me. You can't you can't do that, you can't be around that. Maybe he's so delusional about his power and his influence that
he thought it wouldn't really matter. Although look at how long it was able to Clinton was able to really not have this be a problem for him. But here's what was released. This is big folks. This is the story the Democrats haven't wanted to talk about. They haven't wanted to go here. A lot of us have known this for a long time on the right, and there was too much There was too much smoke. We knew there was a fire, and now we're going to figure
out how big the fire really is. This is what the statement was released yesterday by Clinton by Clinton spokesperson, President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty too in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York.
In two thousand and two and two thousand and three, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's plane, one to Europe, one to eight, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Okay, so meanwhile, it has been believed and reported on for years that Clinton flew dozens of times. And that's just exactly what that investigative reporter was saying there, that Clinton flew dozens of times on
Epstein's jet, including when there were these young girls. I'm sorry, did he ever think to ask what why young women were You know, how many parents out there would let their thirteen or fourteen year old girl fly on a
plane with some weird old billionaire guys. I mean, think about this for a moment, and then how many of you, if you were in a situation where someone that you just kind of knew socially, as Bill Clinton pretends about Epstein, were on a plane and there was always this group of you know, a handful here or there, or of thirty fourteen fifteen year old girls, how many of you would have thought that that was normal, wouldn't have had questions,
wouldn't have raised some eyebrows. You're not gonna private planes, aren't that big folks? Right? This is not like you're on a seven forty seven that's you know, got three hundred seats and you don't know who's on or whatever. You know, you're on a private plane. You know who else is on that plane. So Clinton never thought to ask about this, didn't find this shady? And what are we saying? What I really want to know is this is gonna be a he did or he didn't thing
with the with the flights. What are they going to say if and when we find out that this statement is prepared official statement that you know, Bill Clinton had put out for him, that he knew nothing and only flew in his plane four times. What if it turns out he did fly what was it twenty seven times? Uh? Concheedah, Sarnoff said. Sarnoff is the executive director of Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking and the author of her an author of a book, traffic King Mike is that who
was or is there a different investigative journalists? I mean, there are many people who've been doing work on this for a long time. You know, there are journalists out there who were saying that this has been done dozens. What are they going to tell us that explains this?
Here's what the Democrats have to fear is that after all their moralizing and oh Trump is so evil, Trump is a you know, grabbed them by the you know what, and all this stuff that, oh, he's so horrible and Trump's an abuser, an assault or all these things they've said about him, none of which have they've ever presented
any evidence for. And they've always misconstrued what he said, pretended that what he said was worse than it was, or they've after all that, what are the Democrats going to say to the American people if it turns out that the founder of a political dynasty that was supposed to really haunt the American people for not just the eight years of Clinton, but then four years of Hillary as Secretary of State, and then eight years with Hillary
as president and then probably eight years with incredibly unimpressive Chelsea as president, that that dynasty was founded by a guy who didn't think it was weird to fly not four times, but over twenty four times on a private plane with a peto who was trafficking and underaged girls. These are the facts, now, folks. This is what we're looking at. This is factual stuff. This is not oh, let's just theorize here. How are they going to explain that they still want to tell us about how Trump
has coursened the discourse and anything. Tell you this. There's gonna be some explaining here, folks, And not just for Clinton, but for some others. I think, who are you know? Someone in this process at the Department of Justice there was influence brought to bear. You do not do with this guy, Epstein did and get an eighteen month, effectively suspended sentence I mean, it was the most sweetheart deal you could ever get from a prosecutor's office. That doesn't
happen unless people make calls. People make calls on this guy's behalf. People went to bat for this serial abuser of women, this sicko, and people spend a lot of time around him, like Bill Clinton, who are trying to tell us now that they had no idea, no idea. I don't believe Bill Clinton, and I think if we're looking at somebody who would have no trouble lying about his prior sexual activity, Bill Clinton goes to the very top of the list. We will not let this go.
We have much more coming stay women. While a federal prosecutor, Acosta signed a non prosecution agreement that allowed it Stein and his co conspirators to remain free and evade justice despite overwhelming evidence. Mister Acosta hid this agreement from Epstein's victims. I am calling on Secretary Acosta to resign. It is now impossible for anyone to have confidence in Secretary Acosta's ability to leave the Department of Labor. If he refuses
to resign, President Trump should fire him. Instead of prosecuting a predator and serial sex trafficker of children. Acosta chose to let him off easy. Acosta has got to explain this, That's what has to happen here. There needs to be an explanation of a firm Acosta as to how he would have ever allowed this to occur in this way. He here, I'm trying to pull up right now what a Costa's version of the events are. But of course,
right as I do it, my computer freezes. But I wanted to give you some of his sound bites because he looked. If he doesn't, if it's not compelling enough, he should go. We don't need we don't need a cost here. Here's what he says. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta defended his handling of a case involving a billionaire accused
of exploiting underage girls on Twitter. Mister Costa said Tuesday, with the evidence available more than a decade ago, federal prosecutors insisted that Epstein go to jail, register as a sex offender, and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator. He said he supported the fresh effort by prosecutors to more fully bring him to justice
based on new evidence and testimony. The crimes created by committed by Epstein are horrific, and I am pleased the New York prosecutors and moving forward with the case based on new evidence. So here's what I think is something that you're going to have to get from people like me because the lib media is not going to tell
you this. The real sweetheart end of this deal in some ways, based on the evidence as it was, and based on the Palm Palm Beach County Sheriff's office at the time, was the Democrat, Oh that's right, district attorney for Palm Beach County who created the super soft sweetheart deal for Epstein where he was able to be on i think the home six days of the week and had to just show up for eight hours a day to a facility that was like a county I mean, it just it was no real lock up prison situation
at all. But that that was a district attorney in Palm Beach who was a Democrat by the way, and because it's a political position there, I believe, and he's the one that let him get away with all that stuff. The federal charges a cost at least did something, not nearly enough, but something. And I don't know if we have to look at what the federal charge evidence was. Most of the readily provable crimes against Epstein would have been state charge sex with a minor for example. I
mean that's a state charge. The trafficking between these different places, I don't know whether a Costa would have been able to We have to see what the evidence was he had there. So I'm not gonna what a Costa did looks terrible. And if he can't really explain this better than what we had on Twitter, I think he does have to go. But it's not just a Costa, Folks. I'm not going to let them just allow Clinton and maybe some others too to skate away from their association
with this guy. And someone was bringing influence to bear on Epstein's side of things. Do we think it was a Democrat? Folks? Who wants to bet right now that the person that made the call that got the DA and Palm Beach to back off was a Democrat? Who wants to make that call right talked to the President
this morning. He hasn't talked to her, had contact with Epstein in years and years and years and over a decade at least, he said, And he met Alex Acosta, and Alex applied and got the job where he's doing a great job. And you look at the economy. So I know, everybody you want to revisit what happened in Florida. New York has applied fresh charges to Jeffrey Epstein because they haven't right to do that, and uh, and I hope we're all paying attention to who the true perpetrator
is here. I was sitting at lunch today with a friend of mine, a conservative, fellow conservative warrior, and we're having we're having a great chat about all things, all things right wing media, life ladies, all this stuff. But we're in this. We're in this uh bistro, right and I wish, you know, a restaurant whatever. And there were some monitors, you know, are also known as television's buck come on speak English. There were some televisions that were
up all with CNN on them. Of course CNN on them, and it was very obvious over the course of this, Uh you know, we sat there and probably had for about an hour that CNN is trying so hard, so very very hard to make the Epstein case, which is horrific. And now I saw that they said that they found not only was there the photos of apparently underage girls in a safe. So I mean, you don't keep photos in a safe unless you know their photos there can get you in a lot of trouble, right, or have
some particular meeting. But in this case, you know, he's keeping photos of naked girls in a safe because he knows that it's that they're illegal, that those photos would under the law, be considered child pine child pornography. And there was also I think a blow up doll that was prucer. Mike, did you see the listing of all this stuff a little bit. I saw there was a there was a blow up doll hanging from a scandelier. Yeah. I mean this guy is a sicko, weirdo of a whole.
I mean, you know, it's just mind boggling. This guy was able to stay out of prison with all the stuff he's doing. He's it a seventy million plus dollar home in New York City that doesn't even include the island and the mansion of Palm Beach. And I mean this guy was fabulously wealthy, I mean wealthy behind people's wildest dreams and was a total purv and a sicko and a maniac and a predator, and now finally there's the possibility, it seems, of real justice being served. But
does the media view it that way? Do they do any self reflection? This is another part of this that we have to focus on, because the media certainly won't do they do any self reflection on why is it that stretching back for years, stories about pedophile Island Lolita Express, it was the stuff of tabloids, but it was always
considered a little bit for the mainstream media networks. It was always a little oh, we don't need to cover that, or that's just people are exaggerating, or it's conspiracy theories, or huh, none of it that we've seen right now,
it appears to have been exaggerated at all. If anything, what we have found out is that Epstein was even more an egregious predator, was even more dangerous to these young girls and systematic in the way he exploited them, and even wealthier, more influential, and more connected than anyone had really realized. I do think that we're going to
have to hear from Acosta. And that's why when Kelly and Conway talked about this, because people are saying that Acosta might have to might have to resign Alex Acosta,
not Jim Acosta. That's a whole different Acosta, that he might have to resign because of this because he was the attorney for the Southern District, the US attorney for the Southern District of Florida when this went through and it was allowed that that the Southern Easter of Florida would not would have a non prosecution agreement if the state charges were agreed to. The state charges were and I think I said yesterday and my instinct was right
on this. It wasn't solicitation of an underage prostitute, which would be a greatly enhanced penalty and I think would also trigger federal statutes in and of itself. It was just solicitation of a prostitute. Period. That's what he pled to or pleaded to. So he got a deal that was it was unthinkably lenient, and that just doesn't happen. Now we have to see where all the corruption is and all of the connections are, and they want to make this all about Trump. Meanwhile, here's what Kelly and
Kamay said about this that I played of one. He doesn't think he's talked to him or seeing him in ten or fifteen years, and he, like everyone else, sees these charges. The description of these charges against Epstein is completely unconscionable and obviously criminal, disgusting. I really now. What gets left out by the mainstream media is that, yeah, there's some photos of Epstein with Trump and they knew
each other. But Epstein was a billionaire in Palm Beach and in New York who was rubbing elbows with other billionaires all the time, other rich people all the time, and that doesn't necessarily mean that there was a close personal relationship. In fact, what gets left out is that Trump called this scum out long before other people did, because this guy, it's not clear, but allegedly put the moves on an underage which I think is totally believable
given what we know about him. Put the moves on, you know, or I don't know if he put the moves on or if he actually assaulted. It's it's not clear he did something elicit with an underage girl, right, you know, tried to I've never read a detail of scripture, I've ever tried to do something. And Trump was like, get this scum out of here, and banned him from
Mara Lago. So why is why is Trump the big I mean, Trump is like, this guy's a gross underage, you know, underage, chasing sicko and I don't want him in my club anymore. And he's banned. And this is this has been on the record. This has been a story for a long time. People have known this. And I'm telling you, every time I looked up from my table at CNN, from my table at lunch to see what was going on CNN, it was some you know,
Trump administration says this about Trump's relationship with Epstein. I'm like, what relationship with Epstein? And you know, can they establish for us that this was closer? I've said this all along. They're doing this as a mean of running cover for Clinton's relationship with Epstein, because I do not believe for a second, I do not believe that Bill Clinton had no idea what was going on. And I think, my friends, it could be a whole lot worse than just what
he knew. And you know, we got to find out more who helped cover this up, who made calls for him, who exerted pressure at the top of the DOJ to get this unconscionable deal for this PERV media doesn't want to find the real answers. They only want to find some answers. We're gonna have to keep the heat on. On Monday of last week, I was down at the border in the Rio Grand Valley. I've been down there many, many times, and we have a full blow crisis. I mean,
it is horrific. In the month of May, over one hundred and forty four thousand people were apprehended coming into this country illegally. It is a crisis. And what we're seeing in particular is more and more kids, children who are being brutalized. They're being brutalized by human traffickers, They're being brutalized coming over. And the reason for the crisis is Congressional Democrats, in particular the loopholes and the laws. Yep, this could all be over in a matter of days
if Democrats were willing to help end this crisis. But they benefit far too much politically to take any real action to make this thing stop. They don't want it to stop. In fact, I believe the Democrats think that the focus on treatment at our southern border has become so single minded, is certainly what the media's help that they're banking on a lot of American voters not even noticing. The Democrats have effectively kicked the doors open to this
country and said we're more or less open borders. That's what we are, that's what we got people from all of the world, people from all of the world. Now we're showing up here with a kid, and they think that the kid because it basically is the magic you know, the magic doorway into America. And they're mad at us because when they're complaining and there's new stories about this because we don't have enough in terms of like comfort and facilities for them. Well, no one told them to
do this. No one told them to just show up. There's a whole process. They're skipping this whole process. A lot of you who listen to the show who are legal immigrants know all about this. And if I were you, I gonna be honest, I'd be pretty steamed about this.
I have friends who have had to go through, you know, thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars of legal fees and all kinds of paperwork and all this stuff so they can be here legally, or they could just show up in the Southern border, be like, yeah, this is my nephew, I'm his guardian. Let me into America. That's it, and you never have to deal with anything ever again. You're never gonna get deported, you know. In fact, you'll probably get invited to a State of the Union address. These
are the best among us the illegal Wow. Really, I think the American people are pretty great. I'm not sure that I would just make a sweeping statement about anybody being better than the American people. But those who cross into the country illegally, I just what are we basing that on. They're looking for a better life here. They could have had a better life in a whole bunch of countries. But they're coming to America. Why is that?
And let's really think this one through. There are a lot of places where you can live a happy, normal, productive life all over the world. They're coming to America. Why is that? Because they're going to be able to compete so effectively in an increasingly information based economy. We have people that are showing up here from you know, name all corners of the world right now, showing up in the Southern border, exploiting the overwhelmed system and they're
coming all the way to America. Why exactly, we're told it's because that they just want they just want a taste of freedom. Yeah, okay, but why not and respect the laws of the place that allow freedom to flourish. Without our laws, without our rule of law, freedom would not be in freedom would be in short supply, very quickly. It is, in fact, our rule of law. It is the framework of laws that we have that allows us
to enjoy this country. And those who are undermining that whole system because they want to be here so badly and are also being told, minds you, by one political party and most of the media that they are owed this and that we're the bad guys and the reason their countries that they're coming from aren't better is because of us, which is just this is just lunacy. But
this is what they keep saying. You know, some of these countries they don't lack electricity in whole regions and indoor plumbing, and have very poor literacy rates, particularly for you know, women who aren't allowed to go to school and all these things. That's not our fault. Some cultures are actually better than other cultures, and this it's very oh you can't say that, why not? It's true? Okay, this is where this is where you know, it would be fun if bucking the Libs could actually have a
real debate. But the Libs never, They never really, you know, all they want to do is go on Twitter and make fun of my name, which anyone. I always like that though, because it at least establishes that someone's a moron, a total moron, you know. And I my name is weird. My parents gave me this name. I don't know why, but you know it is my name and I'm not changing it. So there you go. But here's here's the culture versus culture problem in a way that even Libs
can understand. Okay, is American culture better than North Korean culture? They'd say, well, that's an extreme okay, yeah, but you know, they have to answer the question, and I think most of them would answer yeah, So though not all of them, I don't know. Would Rashida to Leeds say we're better than North Korea? Maybe it's got a lot of problems
with this country. But okay, if we can establish that American culture is better than North Korean culture, then we've established that it is possible bowl to differentiate between the relative merits of different cultures, and therefore we can extrapolate beyond just North Korea and America in the comparison and look at other countries as well. Why are we in this country doing so much better in so many not
always always, you know what I mean. I'm kind of jealous that Spaniards get to take three hours cestas every day. I mean, there's some cool stuff going on in Spain, but generally speaking, and I would love, Oh Cista, it's amazing, you know, take a long nap after all. Imagine, producer, Mike, Imagine if it was part of American culture that every day, after you have a big lunch you get to just chill for like two hours. Yeah, I can handle that
right right there. Look, I'm all for cultural appropriation. Let's appropriate siesta. I think it's a great idea. Yeah. When I was in Greece, if you wanted to get anything done between the hours of noon and like four pm, too bad, Like too bad on your own. They're all napping and sleeping and drinking uzo and hanging out. That's part of it. Was not I mean they also their economy collapse, probably not in uh, you know, not completely unrelated issues. But I could build a George George Costanza
bed right uneath of my desk. I think that would work. My hours that the hill were so long that I actually had a sleeping pad there for a while and a little pillow, a pillow from my giant cranium, and uh, I used it twice. I did take two naps there in the radio room on the ground because I've been working so long and I was so tired. So that's right, Buck is a buck is a working man hero. What
can I say? Oh? But what do democks? So just bringing us back to immigration here for saying, what do democrats offer given this whole situation, given that there is a crisis the border ted cruise is right, what are the democrats? Uh tell us in response to all this? How how would they fix it? If they really intended to fix it, how would they fix it? And well, here's what they really focus in on thirteen. If you could,
would you kick the wall down now here? Yes, like you have a wall, absolutely knock it down, offer a home to refugees. That is who we are, that's our values, that's part of what we do. So instead of building a wall or closing the border. We should choose compassion instead of cruelty, very welcome refugees and bring people out of the shadows. Immigration is not a security issue. It is an economic and a humanitarian and a family issue. I think undocumented people need to have a means by
which they can be covered when they're sick. People need This is just common decency. M doesn't sound a lot like they want to enforce the law or they have any particular interest in preventing the continued mass migration in this country. Sounds a lot to me like they want this whole situation just continue on as is, like they got no problem with it whatsoever. There's certainly no focus on stopping this from happening. So I think we have to ask, well, maybe that's because they don't want it
to stop. Isn't it possible that that's what's really going on here that they would like that they think that this system should continue on as is because this system benefits them politically in ways that they do not want to give up. So they don't answer. I mean, this is the real, the real, you know, conclusion we have to draw from all this is that this is what they want. This is what they want. They do not
want this to change. They have no interest in making this situation better, because for them, a situation is just great and team We'll be right back. What, if anything, would you like to say about the Kamala Biden dustup he apologized today. You've been following that. Do you have any thoughts about that? I do not. Okay, let me ask this. Moving on, I've been moving on. I've been doing this rodeo far too long. Moving on, moving like
and no comments. I'm sorry, that's not okay. I mean, she Michelle Obama has a right to say that, but we're not just gonna let that go. Let's just review, folks. Joe Biden has been pilloried, has been getting crushed in public, dragged on social media, you know, annihilated in the press for effectively for being a little too cozy with segregationists who are true racists. Right, so, so Joe Biden likes racist too much because they're saying he's kind of a racist.
And he opposed forced bussing, which is an issue that nobody has really thought about in many decades, but or at least generally doesn't come up in national political conversation. Has not for decades, and Joe Biden is getting called a racist. Now, put aside all the celebrity politics stuff that we know out there, and put aside all that for a few moments, if we can, and let's just
look at what's gone on here. And a man who is in the twilight of his career, and let's be honest, he's getting up there in age in general across the board. This is the end of his career, and he is, being the right hand man to the first black president of the United States for eight years, is being called a racist. And neither that former President Barack Obama, first black president of the United States, nor the first lady his wife, Barack Obama's wife are willing to say a word,
not one word in defense of Joe Biden. Not saying, oh, you should vote for Biden or he's a great candidate, just saying everyone needs to understand that Joe Biden is not a racist. And maybe he misspoke, but he's not a racist and that should not be Why won't they
do that? Now? I know we've we've I've bandied this about with you what yesterday, probably maybe in the day before, because I mean, the press doesn't want to touch this, because ultimately, what you come away with is either Biden was a racist all that time and we just didn't know it, and that would be the end. The answer there, effectively being that Obama really thinks that Biden's getting what he deserves because this is who he really is. That
that's a possible answer. I don't think that's the most likelier, you know, I don't think that's the most sorry former that that's a possible answer. Okay, what else is in the mix? Then that Obama is too narcissistic and too self satisfied to care what happens to his former vice president, or that he just isn't an honorable enough friend to want to stand up for somebody who had served him well as his vice president and been was with through a lot. You know, there are just some things in
this business. And I'll tell you right now, if a friend of mine is ever in need in public, a real friend, somebody that you know, I have a real relationship with that I've built over time of trust and mutual affection and loyalty to each other, I'm not gonna let that person get crushed without me saying a word. If I believe that my saying a word would be helpful. Sometimes maybe it wouldn't be. But I'm not going to let them just dangle in the wind. And I just
work in media. I'm not the former president of United States. But there are questions of honor that shouldn't be hard to answer When a friend of yours is being unfairly maligned and the reputation ruined in public, don't you have an obligation to say something if you are in a particularly powerful position to help. Who better to put down the to put an end to the Biden is a racist controversy, then Barack Obama, his former president that he
served under, and the first president. You can't think of her. The only person who comes close is Michelle Obama, who also will not say a word in defense of Joe Biden. H with with you know, with friends with friends like the Obama's. I gotta tell you who not not exactly a profile and person to person courage here. But that's I suppose what we should come to expect from Democrats. It's all about It's all about the cause, and the
individuals pushing the cause are really all about themselves. That's what it means to be a Democrat. These days. Oh also, I always love this one. CBS s Gaale King was speaking with Michelle Obama on the Obama administration and the no scandals talking point pliclibait all that I had sort of held on to for eight years watching my husband get raped over the coals, feeling like we had to do everything perfectly, you know, no scandal, no, no nothing, no nothing. Yeah, I think it was. It was a
lot emotionally. Barack Obama's executive branch forced gun dealers to give guns to straw purchasers for Mexican cartels that killed hundreds of people with them. Barack Obama's administration, the IRS in his bureaucracy, decided to target conservatives for tax purposes in an election year. I mean, you know I could do it, Benghas, Yeah, we can do this. We can do this all day. Barack Obama wide about how you can keep your health insurance planned, the single biggest initiative
of his entire presidency. Let me say say there's no scandals. We also all know this. If anything has been learned from the Epstein revelations of this week, it's at the press. The press almost acts with a hive mind. It's almost all Democrats. It's a very when you really look at by the numbers. Fox News has a lot of influence because Fox News has half the country more or less to itself politically on TV. But Fox News isn't that big, doesn't have that many people, It doesn't have an endless
army of investigative journalists. And when you look at what conservative media has in terms of resources in reach compared to what the lib media has, it's a total David and Goliath story. I know that doesn't end well for Goliath, but you know what I'm saying, much much bigger way. We are way outgunned in the media marketplace still in terms of resources, investigative stories things like that, we got nothing that it comes close to what the Libs can
throw at things. And that means that they can one go absolutely thermonuclear with their opposition research, and two they can serve they whether when they want to do a story, they do a story, When they don't want to do a story, it's all over with doesn't matter. So the no scandals point is one that tells us a lot more than they then they want us to know from it all right, because the no scandals thing is just essentially, Yeah,
the media still looking for Obama's college transcripts. Folks. They're changing laws in the state of New York just to get Donald Trump's tax returns, which are already in the hands of the government, already have been audited. But no word on Barack Obama's college transcripts. I love how I still say that to lives and they go, oh, it's look true. Really, what does not does not true mean it is true because it is true. I suppose somebody would have to explain that, Well, there's there's a lot
that you got to explain to lives. There's a lot that has to be explained to lives these days. Um, this is this was this was remarkable. Though, just before we before I move off this topic, I had something else that really it's it's hard to believe, folks, And I if I didn't have the tweet in front of me, I feel like meet the Press exclusive. This was a real story they ran yesterday. I mean this nails home
brings home Nail's home, you know, Hammer's home. That's what I was looking for, Hammer's nails close enough, Hammer's home. The point I was trying to make Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's This is from This is an NBC News exclusive from yesterday, Folks, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's great great grandfathers owned fourteen slaves, bringing reparations issue close to home. No, does not bring the reparations issue close to home. That
is false. I don't know what my great grate grandfather was up to, but I can tell you that if I found out that he was an axe murderer, I wouldn't feel like I had some moral stain on me. I have no idea who my great great grandfather is or was. I mean, I'm sure I could look it up on ancestry or whatever. But this is so stupid, and this is NBC News, NBC News exclusive. They can dig into the great great grandfather of Mitch McConnell and find ople research there, find something with which they think
that they can sully the reputation of Mitch McConnell. And yet, how many times did I have you seen mentioned? Really pay attention to this For those of you who watch TV news, which you really shouldn't. You should just listen to this show every day and you don't need TV news, But how many of you will see mention of Bill Clinton in the Epstein story, it may flash on the
screen for a brief moment at the bottom. They may try to cover their cover their butts a little bit by showing you some by being able to you know this, This is the Taper routine. Ask one one real question a month and be like, look at this real question, I'm so brave. Well, yeah, but what about one hundred What about the hundred toty questions that you asked that were for Libs and Dems to feast on. But I asked the real question once you know, oh yeah, we
ran in Clinton, We're in Clinton. No, the propaganda is clear. They're trying to make Epstein all about Trump, as we know. But think about how the resources that they're willing to devote at meet the press to find out about Mitch McConnell's great great grandfather. Who the heck cares about Mitch McConnell's great gat grandfather. Let me say. Mitch McConnell, in response to this, said that his position on reparations is the same. He's in the same position as Barack Obama
because Barack Obama's white parentage on one side. You know, this is I'm sorry, does the white parentage on one side no longer is the stain of an ancestral slavery erased for that side if there's another side down the line that it has African American lineage, right, I mean, do you know are you still are you guilty of half of the vices of reparations of your of your elders if you are of both black and white ancestry. And this is this is what Mitch McConnell is saying
in effect. But Mitch that his position on this is the same as Barack Obama's, and Barack Obama has white ancestors who also own slaves. I don't know that's what Mitch said. I don't know that was true. But also Barack Obama was a post of reparations. So basically cocaine, Mitch is like, say hello to my little friend. We'll be right back. The census citizenship questions should be there, so they kick the can and then the administration said, okay, we won't put it on there, and then the President
injected himself into this. But this is about keeping you know, make America. You know this hat make America again. They want to make sure that people certain people are counted. It's really disgraceful and it's not what our founders had in mind. This is a lie, it's a smear. But Pelosi is very you know. One thing that gets lost in all this with Nancy Pelosi is she has been a lifelong super lib. She has been the lib of
libs for decades. Man in. Pelosi is the classic limousine liberal from north of San Francisco, super rich herself, just you know, whatever, the most progressive position isn't any number of issues. Nancy Pelosi has been a warrior for that position for the left for a long time, and she is not progressive enough for the Democratic Party anymore. We'll get into that part of this in just a moment. But what she said here is so is so gross and it's a reminder though of what the left does
whenever they can't win an argument. Is racist, which is what they always do. Oh you're a racist. Wait a second, I just we want data. Is data racist? Well? Actually, depending on the circumstances, some people will tell you that data can be racist. That's very interesting. Steveson High School? Why is Stevenson High School seventy five percent Asian? And other minority groups dramatically underrepresented. Racist. Well, that's just data,
isn't it. This is the elite public high school in New York City where you just take a test to get in. Whatever your score is that determines whether you get in, doesn't matter what your skin color is. A lot of Asians other non white minorities, not a lot of them. This is the big problem that comes up. You'ren in year out of the school. Racist way. But I'm just these are just the numbers. That's just what it is. It is what it is. I'm not even taking a position on it. I'm just saying that, Yeah,
that sounds pretty racist. But Pelosi has been playing this card as a super rich white liberal, but she'll play this card against Republicans and she has been for a long time. And it's not enough. It's not enough for the left anymore. You see. This is this is what the left finds out. Biden's found this out the hard way, with having to apologize uh Pelosi and trying to deal with this left wing insurgency from within her own party.
What they find out, sure enough, is that the that the ability to, without any justification or provocation, play the race card as a means of ruining someone's reputation, shutting down dissent, shutting down debate. That that is something that because they can do it whenever they want to whomever they want, they'll do it to each other too, the Democratic Party when they when they decide to. I mean here is Rashida to leib who's right there with with AOC and some of these others as the um the
far left. I don't call them the fringe. They're not the fringe of the vanguard. They're at They're at the front of the modern Democratic Party right now. They are not some you know, outside element that just makes some noise here and there. They are pushing policy. They are making the Green New Deal, something that Democrats the stupidest idea I ever heard. They're making the Green New Deal
something Democrats have to pay obedience to. They're making open borders the official policy, even though they won't call it that of the Democratic Party. That's coming from the far left vanguard of the party. They are pushing the party in this direction, and not even the Sandernista wing of the party is because because there must be a a clear identity politics componentable of this. That's absolutely the case with this element within the Democratic cock or the Democratic
majority in the House for sure. Here's what Rashida Talib says about Nancy Pelosi, thir third in line for the presidents, most powerful Democrat politician in the country, at least officially speaking, and a lifelong superlib. Here's what Rashida Pelipe says about her blaked twelve. More people like us, people of color have been missing in the chamber because most of us, and Ayanna Presley says it more beautifully, people that are closest to the pain need to be at the table
making these decisions. Guess what, we know what it feels like to be dehumanized. We know what it feels like to be brown and black in this country. What would you say to Nancy Pelosi? What would you say directly to Nancy Pelosi? Uplift the women, especially the women of color within your caucus that are out there, because I'll tell you, more people like us, more people like me that come out to vote, we win, All of us win. Feels like to be dehumanized. Pelosi has to uplift the
people of color, hasn't Nancy Pelosi? She would think that her whole career was at some level devoted to that. I would think that's what Nancy Pelosi would argue. Not enough though, not enough people of color, she says, I've been missing in the chamber of the Democratic Party. It is never going to be enough, though, because the standard is not racism or unequal treatment that is rooted in
race will be will be called out against individuals. The standard is they can call anyone the left can call anyone racist at any time, and it is damaging, and it's supposed to be damaging. And that's the way that they play the game. And even not even Nancy Pelosi is immune to this. That's that's what she finds out. That's that's the reality of her situation right now. Can she hold this progressive insurgency within her own party at Bay?
I don't know. I think Pelosi is probably out what the old in with the new, my friends, that means AOC is going to be calling the shots and calling them real soon. I was disappointed to see him subpoenaed because I don't think that serves any purpose dragging Bob Muller up. If the in fact is going to stick to the report, it seems to me the only reason for doing that is to create some kind of public spectacle.
And if Bob but decides that he doesn't want to be subject to that, then the Department of Justice would certainly back him. The hearing next week with Mueller will be a carnival. It'll be a freak show. Think back to March of twenty seventeen, Seawan when Devin Newnas had a public hearing. I love Devin, but public hearings don't turn out well no matter who calls him. Devin called a public hearing, had Jim Comey and Mike Rogers a hundred times. The witness said I cannot answer that question
in this forum. You would think the media would say that was a waste of everybody's Tom don't ever do that again. They love it. They love it because what Adam Schiff and Swallowell and the others did is read newspaper articles that contain classified information only for the witness that didn't have to say I can't comment all that in this setting. That's what's going to happen next week.
Mueller's reports out. He's not going to deviate from the four corners of that report, but that not keep House Democrats from asking The focus will be on the question not the answer. Oh boy, you know, this is one of the first times I gotta think more about ag Barr's position on this one, because I think Barr is an administration rock star. I think that he is as good as as good as you're gonna find anywhere. He didn't didn't bend the need all the pressure on the report.
He's been rocks and his whole thing is, you know, is there a precedent for it? Well, then it's then it's unprecedented, isn't it. I mean, it's still one of the greatest press conference lines that I could think of. I mean, that's up there with your fake news. I mean, it's just it was fantastic with Bar pulled off. But ag Barr not not agreeing with the subpoena of Muller, I will tell you, is a little bit of a
surprise to me. Um, I don't really get why he would. Well, maybe he feels like we should just move past this as a country, and then he realizes and it effectively agrees with what Trey Gaudy you say in there, which is that it's going to be a spectacle without any real purpose beyond giving people on CNNs something to talk about, and I don't know all the to be fair, all the cable networks something to talk about that day, and people like me, you'll be like, wow, this is what
we're said today. But I've always thought that Muller should be forced to answer questions about aspects, if not aspects, of the report. Also some of the process that went into the report, and his evasiveness will or his unwillingness to answer very straightforward questions that are not privileged, that are not about classified, that are not protected, will tell us a lot about what really went on. I think
that Muller. So, so what I'm really saying is I disagree with the Attorney general if the Attorney General thinks that there's nothing to be gained from this one. Now, maybe the Attorney General he could be right and I could be wrong. He's one of the few people in this administration i'd say, you know, on certain matters on this matter, for example, his judgment and my judgment, I
put them pretty close. Most of the people in this administration, I'd say, if it's between the buck says and what they say, you want to bet on Buck every time. This Attorney General, I don't know, he might see some aspects of this that I don't that I'm not seeing right now. I know, well, a radio host that thinks that he may not he may not have all the answers would be the smartest than everything. What a shock.
But Attorney General Barr says he's not like, Okay, he doesn't like this because I want to see Muller in front of the American people just not answer very straightforward questions like why was the dossier basically not dealt with at all in your report? Why was that not a part of this in any meaningful way? And if he says, you know that he won't answer that, well, then I think people can draw their own conclusions because ultimately, see, here's the thing this is not. This is no longer
really illegal matter. It's a political matter, and politics is all about optics. I'm here in this swamp. I'm swimming around with all these gaiters. There's always more gators in the swamp. Uh, I gotta work on my There was there was that congressman camera's name now, I really like that guy came on the Hill TV before I left. He's like, excuse me, madame, I'm a congressman from Louisiana, and I do not want He had that kind of Cajun accent thing going on. I can't remember the guy's name.
He was great though, he could calling Crystal madame, excuse me, madame. But I said, I like this guy. That's a little bit of producer Mike. What was in the in the water boy? What was Adam Sandler's name? Do you know what? Talk? Oh? Did you Mark? Do you know what I'm talking to me? The water boy Adam Sandler? But I don't remember his name. Is it Bobby Bouche? Yes, Bobby Bouche. He was had a little bit of a little bit of shades of Bobby. I'm saying, I like the accent, Okay, I like the
cagn accents. So to our to Louisiana listeners, I can't even say it properly. Buck, Maybe learn to say Louisiana first. I got nte see I start getting way too French. I start to sound like Lumier from Beauty and the Beast, or or maybe even the the chef from The Little Mermaid Les plais sans name plaison. You guys remember that? Come on, what just happened? Buck just had some kind of an episode on here, let's get back into the Mulla report on a Muller subpoena. So next week, Yeah,
it's gonna be a circus. I don't know how much new stuff we're gonna learn. I don't know how much we'll be able to count on this as uh, you know, really to answer questions. But if nothing else, it'll give us all an opportunity to see if Muller can answer straightforward questions or not. Look what comey did comy to anyone who was being honest lit his credibility on fire in his last hearing, I don't remember. I don't recall. I don't remember, I don't recall. It doesn't remember anything.
You know what floor of the FBI building were you on when you were director of comy. I do not recall. You know where was the bathroom near your office? So I don't remember. He just didn't know anything. Of course, he knew plenty. He didn't want to give answers because he doesn't want to be found out to have lied under oath. Although I'm still waiting for those charges against
Andy McCabe. Former acting FBI Director Andy McCabe, we knew was an anti Trump partisan and a hack he lied under oath I think twice, if not three times according to Inspector General, So we should be finding out what's
going on there pretty soon. That then also reminds me we got the Inspector General report that's supposed to come out, but I don't know how much this is from within the Department of Justice looking at the conduct of the FBI during and around the whole Russia collusion Muller probe thing after Trump's election. The issue I have is even if they find I think they'll provide good information, but the conclusions will be crap. Because if it's not Scottish
it's crap. No, But if it's because the conclusions the first in the first Inspector General report were overwhelmingly overwhelmingly indicative of political bias or really just proved beyond any reasonable doubt political bias, and then the report and its conclusions DJ Inspector General's report says, oh no, there's no bias. What it was all bias. This would be like walking into a store that sells nuts, nothing but nuts, pistachio, almond, wal nut, and say, but there are no nuts in here.
What would people call you if you did that I will not answer it because it's such a lame joke. We have more coming up, guys, listen up for a second first day camp. Something really important. Okay, we're not women's soccer, We're not the NFL. If there's anybody here it's going to be disrespectful to either the American or the Canadian national anthem, Grab your gear and get that out now, because you'll never see the ice in this arena.
I like this coach. This is a This is a happy, well at least I think so, a happy social media viral story that's out there right now. You got this coach that's gone gone viral on social media for saying, you know, we're not women's soccer, not the NFL. If there's anybody here who's gonna be disrespectful to the American the Canadian national anthem, grab your gear and get the you know what out because you'll never see the ice
in this arena. It was posted on Monday night, and it's just a nice, a nice antidote in a sense to the nonsense we've seen from the women's national soccer team. You know, if you're going to represent America on the world stage, try not to be a punk, trying to be an ingrate, to be disrespectful, try not to be somebody that shows that they think that there's something about
them that's that's better than an above America. I think that there's there's just a kind of arrogance that's really hard to It's just hard to get past these people. They really do need to just get over themselves a little bit. I mean, you saw this with all the media attention, or you have this run up to Independence Day this year, that's a case in point. You know, it's not enough that they can't enjoy America over Fourth
of July. They don't want anyone else having too much fun because you know, we the people are going to be out there doing our thing. But they don't like that, so they want to make things more difficult for us. You had a still just shockingly and dispiritingly influential Colin Kaepernick who was scuttling that Nike shoe, right, remember the Nike shoe with the Betsy Ross American flag on it.
Oh oh, I love this. I checked earlier in the week Snopes did a fact check, so I checked on the fact check of whether the Betsy Ross flag was because I said this on the show, and I want to make sure that what I tell you is correct. Was the Betsy Ross flag in fact displayed at Obama's second inauguration? Guess what, folks? The answer was a big yes. But then Snopes did this whole dance. But things can change in time, and the meaning of the Betsy Ross
flag has changed since twenty sixteen. Oh, I'm sorry. A flag, this is Snopes. This is how stupid lib media is a flag that has existed for two hundred years plus that never was racist in its depiction or tenth before, and clearly wasn't racist as of twenty sixteen. Folks. The flag, first, the Betsy Ross version, first made its debut at seventeen
seventy seven. From seventeen seventy seven to twenty sixteen, the flag is not racist, and then all of a sudden twenty nineteen, off it's a racist flag because Kappernick says so. But reality doesn't matter when social justice is an issue.
You already know that, and we've already talked about how there are all those crazy before and after reactions to the Independence Day rally of the National Mall right, you had we played the audio we had these journalists who were comparing what was really a family friendly and patriotic celebration to the Soviet Union into North Korea. Larry Tribe over at Harvard Law School saying, quote resemblance to the days before Tianamen Square is chilling. Oh my gosh, there's
gonna be a tank and like a parade. It's never happened before. Actually it's happened a bunch of times. Kennedy did at Eisenhower did at FDR Day. Oh my gosh, that's so scary. But here's what, here's what we need to not lose sign of it all. And I know that we've already gone through our Fourth or July, and we've already had our celebrated. I had a great I might have one of the best Fourth of julys I've
ever had. True store, we're really one of the best fourth I just you know, I don't know, I can't you know. I could explain why, maybe will another time. But it was just a great Fourth of July. And here's the truth. America is just kicking butt right now. We are doing very well as a country. Yeah, I get it. I mean, we got all kinds of challenges still you know, no one cares about the twenty two trillion dollars in debt. You got debt. That's a ticking
time bomb out there. Support for socialism is rising among people who are wildly ignorant, and that's very troubling in and of itself. Southern borders are mass. I mean, there's problems, and we talked about the problems, but America is kicking butt right now and we're not fighting some massive war.
We're not about about to fight. I believe any any large scale war, which is really really great I'd love for my children's generation might yet to be born, but hopefully soon children's generate, not too soon, children's generate whoa that there won't be a war for their generation? Maybe the one after that too. I think that that's possible. I think we can live in a world where that's the case. Imagine the people. Sorry, it's that I felt
a little. John Lennon liked there. If you did, if you youth knew woo, But just remember that most of us, and this coach I think, spoke to it, and that's why it's going viral. Most of us really do love this place and appreciate it and appreciate each other, because America really is the American people. When I talk about America, I'm not talking about a land mass. Really, it's not a lot of dirt and rocks and rivers and lakes that just we happen to get plopped down on for
no apparent reason. America is the American people. You know, Russia is a bigger a bigger country with comparable, if not better, natural resources. And guess what Russia and America. Now, I know that's a very obvious thing to say, but this is a unique place because of the American people. And so while we while we celebrate our country, what we really are during or celebrating our fellow Americans and in particular our fellow Americans who also celebrate their fellow Americans.
So don't let the don't let the haters and the losers and the jerks out there who for their own reasons, for their own insecurities. And you know, tell you that you can't have a flag on the back of your truck. You know, you can't celebrate the stars and stripes, You can't be proud of America. You know that that's Oh, what's with all the jingoism and all that you know, don't don't listen to any of that nonsense. Oh, America's history is soaked in blood and racism and all this
terrible stuff. The history of every country has all of that, because every group of people for all of history has had things that we're we're wrong, we're evil, we're bad, we're dark, we're we're foreboding, we're difficult, we're you know, this is our reality as human beings, as a human species. But it doesn't mean that America is not doing really well right now. I mean, this is this is a
good time. I feel like after the first Trump year in office, I had a whole show where I said, look, guys, and some of you said, buck, come on, you're too exuberant right now. I'm I know we got problems. This could all end tomorrow. I'm just trying to tell you that while things are good, enjoy them, because I'm also here to tell you this is not going to last forever. And I hate to have to say that. Where it's not gonna last forever, we will look back at people
like the Kaepernicks. We will look back at those who were dumping on America when things are pretty good and think what a bunch of just what a bunch of spoiled babies they were. But I also think we'll look at coaches like this guy. And I've told you before I coached high school soccer for a season and it was probably the most fun job I've ever had and very rewarding in a lot of ways too. This coach is just like, look, respect our flag, respect our anthem,
respect this country. That that's actually what America is, That's who we are. Maybe some of us wouldn't use, but it's locker room talk, folks. He's literally in a locker room. So I give him. He's a coach that I use a bit of salty language as a coach behind closed doors. I believe I did sometimes, so I give him some leeway on that one. But I agree with the sentiment here. You know, love and appreciate this country just like we
love and appreciate each other as Americans. Don't let the negative, the nonsense, the liars, the leftist, don't don't let them cloud your vision of what this country really is, what you know this country to be. That's something that only they cannot take it from you. You can only give that away. They cannot make you disrespect the flag, disrespect
the anthem. Only each one of us individually could choose to do that, and other people listen to the show would never do that, because we love this country just like this coach. We'll be right back back. In January, Team I wrote a piece for The Hill that went viral called only a matter of time before the social medium mob comes for you, And this was in reference
to the Covington Catholic High School situation. Those young boys that came to DC, to the Swamp where I currently am doing the show, visiting from Kentucky and were alleged to have engaged by members of the media that didn't do any fact checking, didn't do any due diligence, were allegedly involved in some racist interaction with a Native American activist. Well, as we all know, as it turned out, that's not
what happened. You had adults, including adults who were members of the true Israelites, who are insane and who are racists themselves and anti Semites. Strange because they're the true Israelites, but they that's what they call themselves. That the whole situation is not what we were led to believe from the initial reporting. But some of us, like myself, didn't jump on the lib media let's bash the quote privileged
white kids bandwagon wanted to see what actually happened. Turned out the kids didn't do anything wrong and actually conducted themselves I think quite well under the circumstances. I think they actually did a did a good job of being really abated and harassed by these adults. These are just young teenagers, but the media wanted to ruin their lives. The point I was making in this piece, though, is that the social media mobs of our time are not just an issue, not just a concern for those among
us who are public figures, people like me. It's not just those who have blue checks on Twitter or Instagram or Facebook who we should be, whom we should be concerned, or who should be concerned about this issue. Anyone can become the subject of a social media lynch mob that will destroy their livelihood, destroy their reputation, and ruin them That all said, people also need to be aware of the fact that their actions can be videoed and follow
them around forever on the Internet. And they need to be cognizant of the fact that everyone now carries around their own all in one media distribution device for the and really collection and distribution so you can make your own little home video of whatever's going on the street, put it on social media, and millions and millions of people will see it. Well, there is one instance like this where I think you have a number of factors
coming together. A software engineer named Wesley Michael has shared in the last few what was this was? This just went up today, last week it was shared, and now it's now it's really going truly viral. Here's the basics of the story. Over the fourth of July, a boy and his father in San Francisco. We're trying to leave an apartment building. In places like San Francisco, many apartment buildings this is similar to New York have a buzz up system where you have to buzz They say, hey,
who's this? He say hey, it's Bob. He say hey, Bob, you bring the beer? And said, yeah, Bob brought the beer. All right, He buzzed them and the door opens, and it's in place of what are often referred to as a doorman, right, a person that's down there to be really a you know, take care of the building, provides some degree of security, open the door for people, et cetera, which is another thing they have in some major cities depending on the building. Right, But the buzzer, you guys
all know what a doorman is. I don't need to explain that, but the buzzer system here. You know, you may or may not be that familiar with how this works. So actually you're probably all familiar with that. Forget that. I just went through buzzer versus doorman. I don't know why I thought that that was necessary, but sometimes sometimes I'd like to just bring you into the you know, into the guts of the story, bring you deep, and
give you as much information as I can. And then I realized, yeah, all of you know that already, So sorry, that's going to happen. I'm so excited to try to pass on information that's stuck in my head that I forget that sometimes it's information all of you have. All Right, back to the story. Wesley Michael share this video and look, he's African American. He is according to the video. And this is all based on this video now, so we don't have any additional context. This was published on the
Hill today, but it's viral all over the internet. According to what we see in the exchange between both individuals. It's pretty clear that that Michael, the software engineer who took the video posted the video, followed in when the guy was leaving, the father and the son. We don't know the father's name. I'm sure we're gonna find out soon. I'm sure he's probably gonna get fired. But he as
as the guy was exiting, Michael entered the building. And then and this father, I don't know what else we call, I mean, this dude, this father, uh decides that he thinks that Michael could be a security risk, and so he wants he wants to He asks this guy, Wesley Michael, the one who posted the video, who he was going to see there, and can he buzz up his friend because he wants to prove that he's there for a legitimate purpose, that this guy didn't just go in the lobby,
you know, for an illegitimate purpose, whatever that may be. Here's how some of the exchange went. Just so you can hear we're talking about. Play this is the father on the phone calling police on Wesley Michael. Play clip eighteen. I remember calling your friend on the call box and have them come back. Didn't have to do that. You could just walk away the police. Oh yes, yes, remember that. I remember this exactly happening when I used to live in my own kindo and then people used to call
the police all the time. Sure, I'll hold the door here for you. That is okay, nobody's asking to hold the dirt. You could do whatever you went. But I'm recording you right now, and you're gonna be the next person. Look at this. You don't need to threaten you. I'm not throwing you. I'm not thinking you're going to be the next person one. You're gonna be the next person on TV. Just remember that. And you have your son with you. That's why I asked you. That's your son.
It's better, I will I will delete this. Yeah, there's a trespasser in my belt. Listen to your son, ye standing on the Now you hear that's his son. That's the father's young son saying let's go. Let's not do this. I say, I think the son in this instance is correct. Um that this was this was ill advised. Now, before I get into this, especially because we started out talking about social media mobs and comington Catholic, there could be
additional context not on these videos. The father here, I don't know if he is going to release a statement saying that this guy, you know, did he, you know, say anything menacing on the way into the building. I don't know. I can't speak to anything outside the video, but the video has gone completely viral and is now sparkling all these conversations online about these situations. And and here's what I will say from what we can see
based in this video. You know, it is a problem in these buildings that people will follow others into the building, and that it essentially defeats the entire security of the building if someone can just wait by the door and wait for someone to come in and is not challenge. So there's there's a real concern there that that is not something that people should just completely ignore. This is not a made up This is not a fake concern. This is a real thing. And Ann Coulter has been
you guys all know I love Van. She's been running around today on Twitter sharing story after story of you know, somebody going home in the East Village in New York stabbed by a stranger waiting in the lobby. Someone uh, you know, waiting in the lobby guns down the paramour of their of a girlfriend or something. I mean, you know the story after story and doesn't it's not hard to find them. And those are all cases of somebody who did not have a legitimate purpose in that building
and therefore is trespassing and caused real harder people. Now, in the real life application of this, and if you go, we'll go on a little more detail here in this video, the real life application of this is you know this guy, this father, I could tell he gets his he gets his back up a little bit and he's getting a little a little hissy over the situation with this guy and this guy Michael who said, you know this used to happen to me McConnell at the time. He clearly
is ready for this. He knows exactly what he's doing. He knows that this guy is gonna look horrible in this video, which he doesn't look good, and he knows that the longer he draws this out, the more the guy and you could tell the guys a little bit, he's kind of grasping, He's like, are you threatening me? And there's some and this is really just two people. I'll be honest with you, I think that this is two people having their egos collide. I don't think this
was really motivated by racism necessarily. I can't. Maybe this guy has raises, maybe he's not. I don't know. But from the exchange, this guy sounds to me the father, Like he's the dude who also, you know, makes all the complaints at the condo Association meeting about you know, kids throwing like, you know, loud parties and someone didn't refill the water jug down in the way Roman, you know, I think he's that guy. I don't think that he saw this individual go in and thought, oh, here's an
African American male. Therefore I'm worried. Therefore I'm going to call the police. But I don't know. And the problem in our in our current environment is that, you know, if you're going to call somebody out in this way, you better be darn sure that it doesn't look like you're just and and I would note that the the the Wesley the designer, he's wearing a pink polo shirt.
You know, I do, I'm sorry, I do think that the clothing at some level matters, Like if somebody goes into a place and you know, they're wearing like a ski mask. I think you're allowed to think that that's of greater concern, you know, if some if some guy's wearing a pink polo shirt. Not a lot of burglars wear pink polo shirts. But you know, again, we're analyzing
without all the facts. But I just wanted to use this as to illustrate the perils of the social media age we live in now, because I mean this father, he's now famous in the way you really don't want to be famous. And here's a little more of the exchange, playing nineteen. He appears to be African American, appears to be African American. Yeah, thirty five suffer engineering polo shirt and Yankees cap. I'll go, I'll go suffer engineer brother,
pink polo's shirt and tennis shirts jeans. Yeah, you have to be here for when they call him. He's filming me in refusing to me. I'm saying, I'm gonna be the next person on TV. Yes, sir, you know that's illegal now, right, Yeah, that's that's illegal to call call cops on African Americans. He said he's waiting for a friend, and I, yes, I call box and he said he would, so I'd have no way to know. Actually here, yeah, so I'm here to just rob whatever, what a mailbox?
I'm just asking for your friend's name. I don't know if I tell you. Now, See, this is an interesting point at the end there. I think this guy, at this guy, Wesley, this dad is clearly Look, maybe he just had a fight with his wife. You know, they always jumped to the oh, it must be racist conclusion in the media. I think Wesley obviously jumped to the guy who post the video to the racism conclusion. But
maybe this guy is just in a bad boom. Maybe he's just a jerk by the way, you know, maybe he's not a very nice guy, or maybe he had a bad day, which we all can have. And Wesley clearly could have said, I'm going to see you know, Susie in five g and I think that probably would have ended this whole thing, but he decided because you know, maybe he's got Maybe Wesley has a little bit of
a chip on a shoulder about this. He mentioned that there were previous instances of people calling police on him in the condo that he owned, so I think he does. I think it's fair to say the evidence point points to him being you know, having had negative experiences like this in the past, which then means he's got a hip on a shoulder about it. Now. He could have diffused the situation, Both of them could have diffused the situation. But it staid it allowed to escalate. And here's what
I just say. If there's any additional facts that come out about this, I'll definitely address it on the air. It looks bad for this dad. He should have been and what I said, it looks bad. I'm just saying it looks bad. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. I'm not saying I can tell what's in his heart where these racists or not. But he's if they've you know, his job is probably in jeopardy right now, which is you know, which is a shame because didn't was anyone
harmed in the making of this video. They didn't really happen. No, But the conclusion that the public will jump to is of racist intent, And you know, I think there was a little there was a little bit of escalation and bad faith on both sides here from what I can see in a video that's imperfect, that's out of context. You know, it doesn't show you everything that happened before or after, And I haven't seen much in his statements about this, but I do think that it's a reminder
all of us. We all have to live our lives like we're being video pretty much all the time, because you just don't know. You can be walking down the street getting a bag of groceries and all of a sudden you're in the middle of some incident that can become.
And this video has been seen millions of times, That's why I'm talking about on radio, millions of views, so obviously sparking a lot of conversation here, let me know what you think about this when Facebook dot com slashbuck Sexton is a great place for you to send your thoughts. I'm curious. You know the video. They have it up on the Hill dot com right now. You know what, I'll share it. I'll share it on my Facebook page.
There you go. I'll share this on Facebook, guys, and we'll see what you think of it, and a team will be right back. So if you run, you're also sitting congressman right now. But if you decide to run for president cough cough, if you would, are you would you give up your seat in Congress? Yes, you would give it up. Yes, really, I think you have to.
Why is that? Well, I think if you're, you know, seeking such a big job that would affect so many people, have to assure, you know, the people you're asking to vote for you, that you're not hedging and that you don't have, you know, a lifeboat. The boats burn the boats as Cortez did, you know, they stormed the land and he had them burned the ships behind them so that there was no looking back. And I and I would want to. I would want people to know I'm putting my all into this and I don't have a
life insurance policy. The least charismatic and really least interesting of all the Democratic candidates. We talked about this yesterday. He's out Swallowell, but turns out somebody else is in. Before we get to that, though, I'm gonna keep you in suspense in case you don't know who is in.
I thought this was kind of funny. Swallowell, who disappointed the point zero zero zero zero zero one percent of American voters by deciding he would no longer be running for president, he had to more or less admit, yeah, I was kind of lying about that place sixteen different. Yes, yes, you wouldn't. I'd said that I wouldn't seek both. Our attorneys had told us that you could run for both, that decision wouldn't have to come until December, and that if we were still in it in December, I wouldn't
seek both. But you know, the polls have had their way, so here we are in July. It's like, yeah, I gotta get out so I can still be a swamp creature with a job in Congress. And forget what I said before, But who's in? Who is in? M do do? Do? Do? Do? That was not exactly in tune, but Tom Stire, baby, yeah, that's right. Someone said that Tom Stire, Hey, did you see this guy Squallow? That was the most unnecessary, uninspiring political campaign of the twenty twenty cycle, and Stires like,
hold my beer, he's going in. This is a billionaire super left wing whose main talking point is that he wants to impeach Trump. That's his number one that's his number one reason for existing. It seems he really, really really wants to impeach President Trump, as if somehow that's going to make everything better for everyone. I just I don't know what this guy thinks he's going to accomplish I do, though, to have to admit this. At least
now there's a true billionaire on that stage. So when you know who the millionaires and the billionaires, he's gonna Bernie's gonna be able to throw side eye at Tom sty or left right, he'd be like billionaire, like that guy three people over to my left. That's right. Bernie's gonna have a billionaire to yell at on stage when he yells about millionaires and billionaires now, so he's got
that going for him, which is nice. It is nice. Indeed, I've got a passing to tell you about here in a moment, team somebody from the political realm that you'll all know and get into that in just a moment. It's a sad day in American politics. X ross Pero passed away. He was eighty nine years old. He had had a five month long battle with leukemia. I don't know as much about ross Perot's career as I think
i'd like to. I remember him mostly from when I was very young, and he was a subject of some humor and pop culture send ups of him, particularly the way that he was depicted on Saturday Night Live. That was back when Saturday Night Live tried to be a show that was just funny and wasn't a show that was pushing a left wing political agenda all the time. But Pero had an incredible business career, right He became a billionaire back in eighty four when General Motors bought
Eds for nearly two point six billion dollars. He had an incredible, incredible private sector career. He also went to the Naval Academy. And this is a guy who you know, I'll be honest with you, I wish I'd spent a little more time reading into the ways of Pero. He did pretty well as a third party candidate. I remember that. I forget what the exact percentage was, but he was a guy who definitely moved the needle on American politics,
and he seemed to have some very interesting ideas. And I have a feeling we may find out of the long run that he was in fact a something of a profit on some issues, particularly on the FED and monetary policy and the economy. I mean, he's he had some of his ideas. I think we're going to find out down the line, Well, we're more correct than we realized. At the time here just to give you a sense. I mean, here are some and this is courtesy of Jack Pisobic over at One America News, just a whole
bunch of Ross Pero quotes. I think this is probably the best way to honor the man here on the show for a couple of minutes. So here are Ross piroisms. The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced, and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled. Sign me up for all of that. A weak currency is the sign of a
weak economy, and a weak economy leads to a weak nation. Yep, there are but two things worth living for to do what is worthy of being written, and to write what is worthy of being read. We've shipped millions of jobs overseas, and we have a strange situation because we have a process in Washington where after you've served for a while, you cash in and become a foreign lobbyist. On NAFTA, Ross Perro said, quote, you've wrecked the country with these
kinds of deals. Sounds like somebody else we all know. Ross said also, quote, I've had wonderful parents and have a magnificent wife, I have great children. That's real wealth. Young people who make money their god are inevitably in for a big disappointment. That's that's true. And I know I'm saying that a lot of your saying Buck, where's your wife and kids? I'm working on it. I'm working on it. It's gonna happen. You guys will be among the hundreds of thousands of you across the country will
be among the first to know. I promise. Ross also said debt is like a crazy aunt we keep down in the basement. All the neighbors know she's there, but nobody wants to talk about her. What's the most important thing you can tell me about leadership, I'd say, just treat people the way you'd want to be treated. I am not a legend, but I am a myth. I kind of like that. I learned no matter how poor people are, they are good people. And those are things
you can't learn at Harvard Business School. I like this Ross Pero guy, and a lot of his stuff is good. A lot of his stuff makes a lot of sense to me. I would like to spend a little more time digging into it. Perhaps, but he used to light people just like Trump did right. He was kind of a little bit of a precursor to Trump in some ways. A few people say that today, and that's after hearing some of those liners and seeing some of the other stuff.
I mean, it wasn't that far. He wasn't that much different. Yeah, you know, being being willing to break with consensus and just speak the truth, as you know, it is a very powerful thing. Powerful for Ross Pero, powerful for Donald Trump, for a lot of people out there. Just say what you really think and let the people decide if you're right. Don't worry about what everybody else wants you to say. Um. I think that's a lesson that Donald Trump certainly took
on for his campaign. And Ross Perow a life well lived. May he rest in peace and be with the Lord. Ain't no party like a Team Buck party. Because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned up to eleven. It's time for roll call. Indeed it is. It is time for the roll call. And very much appreciate the opportunity to share roll call with all of you Facebook dot com. Slash Buck Sexton. That is our roll call rallying cry. That's where you go if you
want to send in thoughts for the show. And with that, my friends, let's get right to it, shall we. Let's do our thing, Keith Buckets. Simple men watch the majority of sports on TV, including women's beach bikini volleyball. The ratings for this highly skilled are very good, better than women's soccer. Ask your buddy Jesse Kelly what he thinks. But I know I'd be much more inclined to watch women's soccer if they were wearing bathing suits. Just a thought,
my sexist shield is hi. Well, Keith, I know you know that some of the ladies in the audience right
now are shaking their heads in disapproval at you. But I can tell you that the basic premise of the audience gets to decide what the audience wants to watch when we're talking about televised sports is correct, And as much as people may not like what the masses want to see, that doesn't really matter, and it cannot really matter if this is going to continue to be a business, if televised sports are going to be a the multi
billion dollar business they they currently are. But yes, the women of the women's US national soccer team are are in fact for what they do overpaid relative to the men, and their share of the revenue that they generate with their team, with their labor. This is all rather straightforward stuff, but people make it much more complicated. Michael, right book. I'm always a little confused when you say you want to start to take calls again. How would that work?
I don't get it. Well, Michael, it really depends on a few things going forward, about the how do I put this, what we stream on the show, what we do in terms of stations that are live, stations that are delayed. I would like to find a way though, to get more interactive calling going on, and maybe what we'll do, and we've discussed this before, you to set
up a well, a voicemail. It's not quite the same because people can call and leave a voicemail, but then we don't get to discuss with them in real time on air. So we're open to ideas, Michael, We're open to ideas. That's not really an answer, but it's the best answer I can give you right now, Caroline, right hey, Buck, I agree with your point that women in sports are fairly compensated. There is one sport where women are not
segregated from men. NASCAR racing. Since its inception, one hundred and nine women drivers have qualified in NASCAR races, most notably Janet Guthrie, who beat Dale Earnhardt in the nineteen seventy six World six hundred. Women drivers are commensated by how many fans they attract and how many sponsors they get. Pure and simple, we don't need to see sexim a sexism where it just isn't. In fact, when Guthrie first raced, the announcer said, with all due respect to Janet Guthrie, gentlemen,
start your engines. Now that Dannika Patrick on the track, They say, drivers, start your engines. Women are welcomed to the sport and receive equal treatment, all right, Because there are some There are some activities where there is no inherent male physiological advantage. Driving, I think it's fair to
say is one of them. Although I did speak recently to a young NASCAR driver randomly, was talking to one at a party, and he told me that physical fatigue isn't very much a part of being a world class NASCAR driver, meaning that you need to be in shape, you need to train, you need to think of yourself as a professional athlete and not just a professional driver. People would say, oh golf, Well, no golf, there's still
the strength of hitting the ball. You know, the men's drive versus the women's drive off the tee is a big difference, and that's strength based at some level. But pool billiards, men have no advantage in billiards over women. Shooting, I think at a depending on the specific sport. I mean, I was just at the range last weekend and saw a fair amount of women there who were just dead eye on target all the time. And that's very much a precision and technique based pursuit and not a brute
strength and speed pursuit. Right, So there are some places where you're going to see men and women able to compete on an even playing field. It look at this isn't that complicated, folks. No one's saying that, you know, one gender is better or smarter than the other. We are saying that one gender tends to be larger, stronger and faster than the other, which is just biology. That's
all we're That's all we're talking about, and that's why. Yeah, the under fifteen men's national team, so we're talking about thirteen and fourteen year old kids really handily beat the women's national professional soccer team. So that's a you know that that tells you a lot about the and that's just a physical difference issue. It's not a slide against the skills and the work ethic and of the female athletes.
It's just men and women are different folks. You know, our society is pushing and pushing for us to forget that, but we shouldn't forget it. We can't forget it because it's the truth. Men and women are different. We have different biologies, we have different advantages and disadvantages as a function of our biology. This is just all legit, this is all reality. Gen rights, great show. I've been checked out of politics. Oh this is an old, old one.
Sorry about that, Angela Buck. My daughter is gen z. I am gen X. She has some different views than mind, even though she is still a conservative. Thankfully she is registered Republican, so am I. My point is she brought up an interesting idea for us to vote in the Democratic primary. The question is should we vote for the more extreme that has the lesser chance to win the general election or vote for the one that scares us the least. We can vote because Virginia has open primaries.
That's a very good question, and this is I think you could make a very a very strong argument in either direction. Do you want to vote for the louneiest loon so that that person. Look, no, one person's vote really matters. We all know that. But if you vote for the louneiest loon, you are sent You're hoping that person gets through. And then the idea is that Trump would crush that loon. Or you could vote for the least scary person. I guess for some people maybe that
would be Biden. And I think the least scary is actually Delaney out of Maryland. I'll be honest with Delaney is not a frightening ideologue. He's somewhat reasonable on certain things and you could have a conversation with them, and he doesn't. He's not like, oh my gosh, climate change, we need a green new deal, all this crazy stuff you hear from people all the time. He's he's not a Delaney is not a crazy person. So that puts him in a different category than a lot of the
other Democrats. Here we go here, Matthew Rights quick technical note on the Grand Your gut instinct was correct. It is a clip, not a magazine. The magazine is part of the gun, and you're loading an eight round U M block clip into the gun as always shields high. Well, thank you, Matthew. Yeah, I had I had a feeling that Grand is correctly called the clip. But then I second guess myself because I was on air when I was saying it. Um, but yeah, that makes sense to me.
It is. It is a it looks like a clip, and you insert the whole thing into the magazine and the rifle. But then Grand is a lot of fun, man. I think it's got that's got some kick to it, some power. I did. I did very much enjoy the experience of fire. I'd never fired a Grand before. I'd never had that, that experience of fire and Grand. I'm trying to think of the most interesting thing I've ever I've ever fired. I mean, I don't know. I'd have to give it. I'd have to give it some thought. Um,
let's see what we have here. We can go to see the thing is also if I said whatever, the most interesting thing was that I've ever fired a lot of people like Bluck. I've got one of those under the couch cushions. Come on, buddy, you know, yeah, I know this audience. You got a lot of real gun people out there who know their firearms. You know, they're collectors, they're enthusiasts, their marksmen. Blah blah, You're all amazing. I know, I know. So I'm from New York City. I'm not
even allowed to have a pea shooter. I'm not even allowed to have a slingshot. All right. So it's a different, different world I've been operating in. And ever since I haven't been with the agency, I no longer have a professional excuse to go to a range and fire whatever the heck I want, which I used to be able to basically do. Sarah, I just wrote in ha ha ha Okay, Sarah, I'll take it. Hopefully I said something funny.
Thanks for writing. Let's see, hey Buck, I'm about halfway through ben Mesrics Bitcoin Billionaires, absolutely fascinating As an ECON major, It's making me change the way I think about money and how it works. Moving forward to take Caraman the show is always awesome. Thank you, David. I really try. I want to dig into bitcoin and ethereum and some of these cryptocurrencies a bit more on the show, just from a from an economic and philosophical perspective, not from
an investor perspective. But you know, I spoke to a friend recently who's a real evangelist for blockchain technology ethereum, and she's very, very smart, and she's totally on board for all this. So I want to do more. I would like to look into more. McKenzie writes, Hey, Buck, I've been listening for about three years. Love your show, Keep it up. PS. You do help me, You do help me sleep at night. So I am a twenty four year old male to female. Do I have a
good chance running for praise? People are crazy? Man? Well, McKenzie, thank you so much for listening to the show, and I appreciate that I'm able to keep you safe and warm at night. That's the plan. That's my duty, and I do my duty here on the show. But as for you running for president, I'm pretty sure you gotta be a little older than twenty four, so that's going to be a stumbling block. Diane. All right, Hey Buck, listening to your show right now. Wondering if you can
comment on this. One of the liabilities of having our free societies that we can have communists and Marxists running for president of the United States. Since when did these ideologies become acceptable? They're completely incompatible the Constitution. I don't care, and I don't understand why we are accepting these candidates. Since when is communism acceptable? Why are they're trying to
distort the country. I'm waking up, Diane. Yeah, I mean free ideas means the freedom to have bad ideas, unfortunately, and there's a lot of that going onto this country. But I'll have to return to this one another day because they're giving me the wrap it up sign team, you have your orders until tomorrow. Schill Ti
