We'll talk about that and where the negotiations over the wall stand and will Roger Stone be silenced by the statists who are chasing after him?

That in 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 American, You're a great American. Again, The buck Sexton Show begins, No, break it down for us? What do these numbers mean? They mean that the economy is still going strong and that actually employers aren't really phased by the shutdown. I'll just point you to the

private payrolls number. They increase by almost three hundred thousand, So that means while the government was partially shut down, companies didn't hesitate to hire. It did not shake competence. If you look at all of last year, and we are coming off a bumper year for job creation, the average per month for private employment within the choose, this number is higher than the average for every month of

last year. So no, I would say, no effect really in terms of a competence hit in terms of hiring for private employers as a result of the shutdown, given the other party got into office instead of being up and having these phenomenal three hundred and four thousand jobs added, and we had so many great months. And you know, it's been a little bit tricky because I'm in the middle of some very big trade deals, which is disruptive before you make it, but after you make it, those

deals are much better than they were before. I don't even mean much better, I mean better like nobody's ever seen before, but the strongest station in the world. So that was really good. But those numbers were very, very impressive. Who were doing fantastically well. So we'll take that every single time. Welcome to the Buck, sex and Show everybody, Happy Friday, Thank you for being here, coming to you

live from New York City, my hometown. Odd. It is cold, it is smelly, it is overcrowded, but it is home. Producer Mike. Yeah, but when it's cold, it stinks a little less. You know. That's a good point. Yeah, that's like I always tell people, if you're gonna go to Venice, don't go in the summer. No doubt, those open canals can get funk. Key also got DJ John the House and special guests. Little Brother is visiting one of these Sexon brothers Keats. He is here. He is in the house.

He is watching the magic unfold. I think this is his first time in the whole thing. Yeah, and he I just found out he works like two blocks away. He's never come over. Yea, and what's all without that. It's a little sad for me too. But all right, we'll let him see. We'll let him see the super fancy studio next door, the Hannity studio, you know where everything is, just where the streets are paved of gold and the microphones are made of Yeah, I don't know,

faberge eggs and things. So we'll take them over there next Yeah, that's where the real that's where the real magic happens. So we got things to talk about today. We have a lot of talk about. Actually a pretty out of nowhere breaking news story on Northam, not the one about abortion. We got a different we'll talk to you about later on this hour. I just saw it. We're gonna read in and make sure we bring that

to your attention. It's kind of a vague teaser, but I think sometimes that's sometimes the best teasers are a little bit vague. Obviously, the economy, we started off with that three hundred four thousand jobs created in January. What I remember being told that because of the government shutdown, gonna have dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. You know, I was told there's gonna be all this bad stuff that happens because the shutdown. Well, everybody got paid, at

least all the federal government workers got paid. They're all back at work, and the economy look like he's doing pretty well. Last month job growth picking up basically double what they thought it would be, So that seems pretty significant.

That seems pretty significant to me. And this is one of those days where you have to remember, we were told that Trump was going to destroy the economy and it would be terrible, and you know, he's so inept, They say, he's so incapable of understanding any of this that it's just a matter of time before things are going to all collapse. Well, now we're going on what we're in year three here, and things haven't collapsed. Things

are actually doing pretty well. So I'm gonna need someone to tell me why we should turn over the keys to our economy to the ideology of a twenty nine year old bartender who seems to have problems with math.

If you want Okazio Cortez, Warren Sanders. If you want them to be the ones making the decisions about the economy and about America, then just be prepared to deal with a lot of people that are short on answers and long on sanctimony, a lot of Oh, it's just to help the poor people, and why don't you want to help the poor? You know, the best way to

help poor people is from a government perspective. Creatives robust and rapidly growing in economy as possible, so people have as much money as possible, so that communities are in a position to help those who are in need and who are less fortunate, and not just rely on a massive government safety net, as we know, can often turn into a hammock and has lots of long term, downstream negative social ramifications. So that's a conversation, I suppose for

another time. It's going pretty well in Trump Land when it comes to the economy. There's some other areas still need a lot of work. We'll talk about the border and what's going on there over the fight on the wall. Still amazed. I still see people saying that walls don't work. I don't know what it's going to take what it's

gonna say. I wish we could set up some kind of an experiment where anybody who says walls don't work, we'll take them to a place and we'll say, hey, we'll give you a thousand dollars if you get from A to B, but we're gonna put a twenty foot wall in your way and it's going to stretch for you know, miles, and at the end of the wall, we're also going to set up people who are in vehicles who are there to prevent you from getting over the wall. And there's surveillance systems attached to it, and

there's motion sensors attached to it. Yeah, let's see if it's easy. Let's see how that goes for you. And then you can tell me, well, if you can hop over the twenty foot wall or the fifteen foot wall with the motion sensors and the cameras and roving border patrols, then we can have a conversation about how they don't work. They're still saying it, and we're we're preparing for this

State of the Union address. I think the expectation is that Trump's probably going to say that this is when the national emergency will be declared, and national emergency is not as as scary as it sounds. Keep in mind that the people that are saying this is tyrannical. It's a national emergency to build a fence, folks, Okay, it's really what we're talking about. It's not a national emergency to you know, seize your bank account or take anyone's

guns away, although Democrats would love that. You know, it's not a national emergency that suspends habeas corpus or no. It's a national emergency to build offense. I think will be okay, you know, I think this will all be all right, but it'll obviously go into the go into the system, and there'll be a lot of legal back and forth over it. But I think the Trump's basic pitch on the economy and the good news is the economy will be strong for the state of the Union.

And we've heard the Democrats over the last month being crazy. The last thirty days has been really clarifying. You can't let these people be in charge. You can argue with Trump, you know, if you're on the right, if you're a conservative, if you if you despise Trump's persona and his personal you know, proclivities and everything else. That's one thing. If you want to talk about how you know he didn't move fast enough on the wall, he did not. He

is talking about DACA, which should be concerning. It's a lot of areas to criticize Trump, but let's just remember that. You know, you can work within the world of Trump and the people around him on the economy. You can work within the world of Trump and the people around him on immigration and push for better ideas and better policy.

And Trump has done that right. Trump has adjusted what he has been advocating for based on either the feedback of the American people or feedback of experts, people in Congress who know what's up. It's not very many of them. But the alternative is the far left, infanticides, porting socialism, loving open borders, wanting left. That's not a good look. That's not a good thing. That's not going to help this country at all. And you know they're going to

try to normalize to borrow work from a left. A lot of this stuff that they're saying right now, a lot of what you're hearing about a seventy percent or a ninety percent tax rate, they're going to say, oh, well, it'll look what happened in the fifties. Because the more people pay attention to this and understand what the real long term implications would be, the more likely it is that they'll say, you know, I think I'll stick with the I'll I'll stick with the capitalists over the commies.

You know, that's a rough approximation for the two sides. But I think I'd rather go with people that believe in individual individual rights and the free market and rewarding success and hard work and keeping the government out of your life over people who seem I think the government has the answer to everything. The governor has he answered everything we haven't answered. By the way, about Elizabeth Warren's DNA,

now she agrees that that was a mistake. I think it's funny because CNN rolled that out initially, like, look, she's proved all the haters wrong. No, CNN, but you have proved all the haters right once again. Elizabeth Warren has had to apologize. We'll see what comes next on that. We've got more on immigration the wall. On this story about Governor Northam, you are going to have to hear it. That's coming up. I think Nancy Pelosi is hurting our

country very badly by doing what she's doing. And ultimately, I think I've set the table very nicely. I think people understand well, they understand Peter. They didn't know what was going on in the southern border. Now they know. They had no idea the amount of crime, the amount of drugs, the amount of human trafficking, which can be stopped with a proper system. I've set the table. I've set the stage for doing what I'm going to do. Yeah, I'm gonna wait till the fifteenth. I think it's a

waste of time. I hope the President's right. I do think that more people than ever are aware of what's happening at the border, and also know that the Democrats

have been lying. The media has been lying about what's happening the border, this whole idea that barriers don't work, that there's no crisis, that there's no problem, that border patrol isn't overwhelmed, that there's not a systematic effort, you know, a coordinated strategic effort to overwhelm our southern border with asylum requests, with NGOs and all these legal aid organizations helping pass the word down to people. What do you need to say to game the system. You know, there

were these arrests for birth tourism that happened. You know, these prosecutions that are underway now for birth tourism. Essentially, women come from China, they stay in a hotel in the US that is set up for this, They give birth in that hotel. They make sure they get all the paperwork and everything so that that baby is a

US citizen. Then they go home to China. But what that means is that when the child is grown up and wants to go to America for school, or wants to go to America for whatever reason, they're a US citizen. As a matter of law. They're is American as you and me. But they grew up in Beijing or Shanghai, maybe have no affinity or loyalty for this country whatsoever. Now we're prosecuting them. This is a scam. People will

send will send individuals to prison. Prosecutors will send people to prison for doing this because they recognize that it is wrong. They recognize that this is an abuse of the system. It's done in bad faith, and we cannot allow it. But what I need to know, I need the Democrats to explain because they can't. Is why is it that when someone flies into a hotel, remember there, at least they're paying money here, and you know they're

maybe boosting the economy a little bit. You could say, they fly into La or San Francisco and the whole purpose of it is to give birth in the US. They are committing an a legal act, right The Chinese national who shows up in La as part of a scheme to give birth here, you know that's a legal But a Honduran who shows up at our border nine months pregnant and says I fear gang violence and knows that she's going to be led into the US right away,

she's already lied about the gang violence. But who can really prove that one or the other? And then she gives birth in this country, and then that child is an American citizen. What's what's really the difference? You know, I'm sure we could get some smug Democrat lawyer to tell me, but well, we don't need that because we know there is no difference. I mean, the difference between birth tourism and people who show up here illegally and give birth in this country is just a function of

the process. I mean there's it's the same idea. You're going to break the law to get the benefits of US citizenship for somebody, and that benefit, by the way, also extends to the person who breaks the law. It's not just for the child. You know, your US citizen child can sponsor you later on in life to have family reunification. And if you're not in favor of family reunification, well then you're some kind of a monster. Then you're a terrible person, and everyone should hate you and all

the rest of it. So, you know, think about it this way. We're willing to prosecute birth tourism hotels, but we're not willing to prosecute people who show up at the border and lie and then don't show up for their immigration hearing for asylum because they know that's not the political will. This is all about political will. Remember, tyranny is not the direct and strenuous but across the board application of strict law. Tyranny is the capricious application

of law. It is the some people live by the law, some people don't. That's what a real tyranny is. That's what the Soviet Union was. That's what show me a country. You know, look at North Korea. All North Koreans don't live under strict laws. Kim John Un doesn't live under strict laws. Kim Jong uns henchmen don't live under strict laws. Right, So that's the way you need to think of what is tyrannical when people are using the law as a tool of politics and only enforcing against some people and

not against others. By the way, I just also, you know, I think that Trump. I think that Trump has made some progress on the border, and at least people understand what's going on there. They know that anyone who says walls don't work is just making stuff up and doesn't know what the heck they're talking about. There. There's a greater understanding of that now as well, which is important. But I gotta tell you I'm not I am not particularly optimistic that there will be any kind of a

deal with the Democrats on this. And all that's gonna happen is it gonna be a declaration of national emergency and then sure enough it'll go into the courts and both sides will declare victory. We've got to deal with this. Later on the show, we'll have an actual arms expert come to tell us what's happening with the Russians and this treaty. But it's not. It's so funny this week, I've been hearing that Trump is Putin's puppet for a whole, but in all, Trump is Putin's puppet. It's come a

bunch of times. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is out there, and you know, she's saying that Trump is risking a new arms race with Russia because he's not Putin's puppet. It turns out he's not doing whatever Putin wants. And here's what Trump had to say about that. He says, you're resking new arms races. Honestly, I don't think she has a clue. I really don't. I don't think Nancy has a clue. And I see that when she says wolves

are a moral she doesn't have. She doesn't know, and I wish she did, because she's hurting this country so badly. It's all rhetorical, not delivered well, but it's all rhetorical. She's hurting our country very very badly, even with statements like that. Okay, thank you very much, everybody. It's true, it's true. Hurting the country with statements like that doesn't doesn't have a clue is the most true part. Nancy blues.

He does not have a clue. I mean, she really represents the classic Democrat machine, politician rich, disconnected from from normal people, but ensconced in a in a just looney liberal district in California, so there's no pressure on her to be a normal person. She gets to just be as far left as she wants and do whatever she wants. And I just wish more people would see her for what she is and all this stuff. But Trump's right.

At least Trump calls her out on that. We got a lot more going up here in just a moment, team, so stay with me. Well, he told he told the attorneys that I'm not a subject. I'm not a target of Yeah, oh yeah, about which I don't know. I don't know about that that I don't know about. Not a target. Trump says that rodenes he told the attorneys that he's not a subject to the Russia probe. Totally turns not a subject, not a target. So that's from

the New York Times interview on January thirty. First. All right, so now here we have the president who is coming out and saying all this stuff. The New York Times. Look, people that that beat up on him for talking to the Times because he says to the family New York Times he trashes a lot. Yeah, but that's it still has a wide readership. And if he didn't, if he didn't talk to the New York Times, they would say, oh,

he's afraid and he's playing favorites and all this other stuff. Right, if he wasn't willing to speak to the Times, then the issue would be that, you know, he's he's hiding from them. But so when he does speak, then he of course Trump is damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. I mean, that's the way that it works with this media, there's no question about it. But is an interesting that he says that he's told he's not

a subject, not a target. I think we're gonna find out at the end of this thing that they never even came close, they never even came close to having anything, you know, to get Trump on. And the stuff that we've already heard, you know, the Trump Tower meeting and

the what's his name Cohen? Uh, that that's that's the most quote damning stuff that they've got, and that's nowhere near enough for anything, as we know, so there will also come a time when we have to say, well, hold on a minute, what exactly was all of this for? What was all of this for? And the Democrats are gonna say a whole lot of stuff, but Russia and the elections. But but the truth is that all of

this was a rage session. It was a kind of anger therapy for Democrats that can't handle that Trump won and that and then Hillary lost. That's really what the Special Counsel has been all about from the beginning. I mean, if anyone thinks that Russia is now afraid of us and Russia is no longer going to meddle in elections, I mean, that's that's hysterical, right. That's first of all,

Russian meddling in the election was pretty irrelevant, didn't you know? Pooh, you're saying they didn't I'm not saying they didn't meddle. I'm just saying it didn't matter. If one person votes twice in a national election, that means that there was election fraud during the election. Does that mean that the election shouldn't count? Of course not, because we need to

understand proportion. But the Left doesn't care about proportion. They just care that they can make some case that is technically or superficially accurate about Russia meddling in the election, and then that just comes Russia medal Russia. This is like what they do with climate change. Do you believe in climate change? Yeah, sure, I believe in climate change. Well, then you have to do all these things. I won't know.

I don't think the climate change means that there's this catastrophic environmental global problem that we're you know, that's going to destroy us and kill us and all this other stuff, right, I mean that's so, so, there is that, um, but also who gets who gets prosecuted for lying is going to be something that we have to spend more time on. Who gets prosecuted for lying is not something that we

should just let fly under the radar. Here Matt Gates, who's a congressman, he spoke about this one recently, because you know, I talked to Roger Stone, what yesterday, the day before? Yeah, I guess it was yesterday. I supposed to Roger Stone on By the way, I like Roger Stone, Mike, You remember Rogerston. Rogers Stones is a he's an interesting character. No never never him. He's a snappy dresser. Yeah, you know, and he's a nice guy. You know, he's weird, I mean,

definitely weird. I'm not saying that. But he's sharp too. He says insightful things. He knows who the worst people at CNN are, which is fun. So we had a nice chat about that. You know who who is worst at CNN? He knows, he's he's correct, He's on the money. He's also a fighter. I mean, he says that he's he's got no plans to back down against the Special Counsel, which is in a position to essentially bankrupt him and maybe ruin his life, is in a position to do

all that stuff. But he still says he's going to fight it out. He's gonna keep fighting. And he's getting prosecuted for lies about stuff that are Mickey mouse, They're just not serious. And he's saying, you know, okay, well I told them. You know, he said, plead the fifth

anything to protect the plan. He says he joked he was making a joke, which when you read the full context of one of the text messages, I believe he was joking, plead the fifth protect the plan, like he was trying to be funny, and he's a weird guy, so he tells weird jokes. That doesn't surprise me. They want to lock him up in federal prison, and they want to tell us that, oh, it's because the law is the law. We know Democrats dun't believe that the

law wasn't the law. But it came to Hillary and her emails wasn't the law, then how much is for sure? There are a lot of other people that have told lies to Congress that have not been criminally prosecuted. Former Acting Director of the FBI, Andy McCabe, he told lies to Congress. I'm sorry to the FBI. Rather, he told lies the FBI, and he has not been prosecuted. Matt Gates brought this up. I think he's correct on this one play eight. I thought Robert Mueller was supposed to

be investigating Russia collusion. Now he's become a glorified Hall monitor enforcing the provisions of lying to Congress. The problem is that he's enforcing them unequally. Hillary Clinton said that she didn't send to receive any classified email. We know that's a lie. Jim Comey said he was never the source or never the director of leaked information. He later admitted that that was not true, even though it was

the subject of his sworn testimony before Congress. And you'll remember Clapper told all of the American people before Congress that there was no bulk collection of data. The deputy director of the FBI, mister McCabe, he lied four times. He lied so frequently he was demoted and referred for criminal prosecution. But a whole lot of these other people haven't been And it's it's the greatest evidence that Robert Muller is not a person in search of the truth.

He's out to get Trump and the people close to Trump, because if he wasn't, if he was unbiased, you would have seen similar charges brought against these other people. The whole thing is a get Trump operation, true, The whole

thing is a get Trump Democrat revenge plot. And I was sitting around talking to some friends yesterday about this, about how if you had told me a few years ago that opposition research would be opposite of research about a Republican president that claimed that he had been engaged in all kinds of just bizarrely sexual and degrading acts

in Russia with prostitutes. You know, if you told me that that would make its way not just to the press who with no verification of it whatsoever, which still they have no verification whatsoever, and that that would be used as a document in the intelligence community to get

a fize a warrant on people. I mean to use some of the most powerful tools the federal government has for surveillance, and to do surveillance on people like Carter Page, someone who is so clearly innocent of any wrongdoing and not a threat to the United States. For any reasonable person, I would have said, no way, But here we are. But oh, they've got Roger Stone because he said he emailed somebody when he called them, or he called them

when he actually emailed them. What a surprise. Democrats get away, they get the benefit of the doubt. Republicans get get crushed. They never get the benefit of the doubt. This is not an accident. This is the weaponization of the justice apparatus against our side. It has to stop. And Mother Probe is a giant Neon red flashing sign saying you got to stop this now. Well, this is an unexpected

story for a Friday producer. Mike and I are just seeing this now as we go on air and I want to start by saying that there are certain certain rules that we should all have in place. We talked

with these kind of stories. Right there's new information that comes to light, we got to make sure that this is verified, it's accurate, and know the full context, because we have been hammering and rightly so hammering the left and the left wing press for what they've been doing recently where they see some kind of an opening to spread a narrative and they just jump right into it right away, and they don't wait for the facts. They don't care about, you know, the possibility that they may

or may not be getting it wrong. They just want to know that they can tell the story. When they can tell the story, and there you have it right. So I don't want to do that because it's early, but I do have to tell you. I mean, this is the number. This is the biggest story on the Drudge Report right now, and it is a doozy, it

is a wow kind of story. So Ralph Northam we'll talk about later in the show again a little bit because he's the guy who said those comments about abortion on that radio show where he said, you know, you'll take a baby out, make the baby comfortable and then decide what to do with the baby when it's outside the womb, which to anybody who was being honest and was listening, sounds pretty pretty much like, you know, you make a decision whether to kill a live baby or not,

which is in fantaside, which is murder. So this is a guy speaking about a murderer like he's speaking about somebody getting a hip replacement, you know, like you know, after you figure it out, you get the hip and you're done. So he had a very bad day estray, and he came out today and was trying to trying to say that you know, he's that's not what he said, or it was out of context, or you know, he

went defense, this is the governor of Virginia. We've got a governor that Bill Crystal of the Weekly Standard and some of the other super never trumpers were you know, this is the kind of guy that we should be supporting, you know, a moderate Democrat or whatever, you know, the Yeats, that's what they were saying. There was a lot of that going on. This story just broke today and it came out originally with Big League Politics in Big League Politics,

and it's Ralph Northam yearbook page. Now it's the Pilot online and it's Virginia, the Virginia Pilot rather, it has picked this one up, so it's getting These are the outlets that are picking this up. And it's purportedly a yearbook page that's of Ralph Northam, not from high school, which was what I initially thought. So he's not like a fourteen or fifteen year old from medical school, which means that he is. He is an adult, probably in his you know, twenty, in his mid twenties. Let's say,

I don't know around there. But this is a page from the nineteen eighty four, nineteen eighty four Virginia Medical School yearbook and it says, well, I'm sorry, I forget what it says. Well, no, it says Alma Mater, Virginia Military Institute, Interest, et cetera, et cetera, Ralph Shearer Northam. And on his personal yearbook page, if this is correct, is a photo of a guy very clearly in black face. And standing next to the person in blackface is someone

in a full ku Klux Klan uniform. I mean, you know, the hat and the whole thing. KKK guy right there on his page. Now, this has not been verified yet. We don't know, you know, so, so, I mean it looks it could it be a hoax? Yes, it could be a hoax. Is there up CNN's running it right now. Yeah, CNN just popped up on CNN on their app on tv UM. So yeah, it doesn't look like a hoax to me. Man, looks looks like looks like Ralph Northum is about twelve hours away from resigning. Yeah. It uh,

it's a privide a little context. CNN reports that it was obtained by a CNN affiliate w t KR, and it, like you just said, it appears in the nineteen eighty four yearbook for the Eastern Virginia Medical School. So wow, Virginia is gonna have to find a new governor. I think. I don't think now there will be people that want to have a discussion about, you know, how long ago was this and I'm sure give it, give it, you know,

mark my words, producer, Mike. There will be some left wing idiot who's like, right around the time when Brett Covenol was, you know, raping women. They'll say that, right, they'll say, oh and you th Cavanols. Okay, right, there's no photo of Cavanaugh doing anything, because he didn't do anything. In fact, no one can even tell where he was

or you know, there's no evidence at all. This in a court you'd call evidence, you know, unless somebody went back and engaged in a very elaborate, you know, Dan Rather style document hoax. Here, this is, this is pretty much I think this is lights out for Northaman. He might have had the worst one two political punch here, the worst twenty four hours of any politician since Anthony Weener. I mean, this is about as who of course, as we don't ended up going to federal prison. This is

about as bad as it gets. You know, killing babies, Ralph Northam killing babies, okay, under our law, it's not a big deal. And oh, by the way, when I was in medical school, not even a high school student, that wouldn't be okay. But at least he'd say he was really young, and maybe there's some mitigation there. Uh college, I'm sorry, post grad student, I mean. And by the way, people are already saying, you know, which way it's not clear if he's in the black face or if he's

in the KKK uniform. I don't think it matters. I don't think anyone's gonna identify one is worse than the other for him. So I think he's Mike. What do you think he's he toast? Can he survive this one? I don't think so. But you know liberals have given themselves passes on things, you know, Yeah, I mean Bird? What's his name? A senator? Senator Robert Bird. He was a grand Wizard of the KKK. Right, so he was actually senior member other KKK. They became a beloved senator

from h what was it, West Virginia? H John? What do you think this guy survived this one? Now? You can just you can just nod your head. One of the other. I'm not sure. How does it get into a school yearbook? First of all, it's on his page. You know how you picked the photos? This is like his montage and one of his montage photios photos is a By the way, how did say it has to be a moderator to say this is inappropriate. That's why I think I've been saying to Mike uh and here

that something's not right about that. It looks bad. I saw the picture looks bad, but something's not right. And a moderator of the yearbook would say something before that I got into the book. Someone has to edit because I've you know, I used to work on my yearbook. I mean, I don't know how much editing there was for racial sensitivity at Eastern Virginia Medical School in the early eighties. Yeah, I don't think there was any. John.

I mean, I agree with you. But if this were like last year, I'd say, yeah, that seems you know, particularly egregious in terms of missing the you know, in terms of editors that would have said, what is this and make sure it didn't go in the yearbook. Uh, this looks pretty bad. I think. I think Governor Northam is not going to be a Governor Northam all that much longer. But we'll see it. Maybe he comes out says, you know, I didn't that's not me, that's doctorate. I

wasn't in that fall. You know, you never know. But what a strange thing for somebody to to fabricate, if that worth the case. So I think he's in big I think he's in big trouble. And it also just goes to show you, man, you know, you get you get out there in a way where everyone all of a sudden wants to look into your stuff. It can find stuff. You know, in the Internet era, people find stuff really fast. But I think this is going to be the end of the governorship of Routh Sheer Northam.

Encouraging companies to build their business models on cheating people. That's not capitalism. That's not competition in the marketplace. That's not producing consumer surplus. So what I believe is capitalism with serious rules, and that means rules where everybody gets chance to play. Elizabeth Warren is telling

you where the Democrats really are on this. It's important to heed what she is saying. This is going to be a central fight, perhaps the central fight of the twenty twenty election. We're getting a preview of it right now. She's saying here is that capitalism without rules is theft. Now that's a giant straw man. You know this, right, We have a tremendous amount of rules in our system of capitalism in this country. We have so many rules.

But what she's saying is that they want to rewrite the rules of capitalism, and they want to do it by suggesting that if you don't agree with them, then you are supporting theft. You know, this is a sort of corollary or you know, this is a now aligus in some way to behind every great fortune is a

great theft. You know, she believes that she believes that people who are very successful financially, people are very successful financially must have done so through illicit exploitation of other people. You know, there must have been some laws that they broke. And here's the thing. If they didn't break laws, the problem is that we don't have strong enough laws for them to break. So they're gonna want to change this.

Remember she was somebody over at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is an agency that when Trump came in, they basically said, sorry, we don't care that you're the commander in chief and you're the head of the executive branch. We're kind of outside of your purview, but we're still a federal government agency. It's like, that's not how this is supposed to work. But they tried to just burrow in a lot. There's a lot of deep state burrowing

that has occurred at different all agencies. I can talk to you about that maybe another time. But capitalism without rules is theft serious rules. Everyone gets a chance to play. There's very little here in terms of specifics, there's very little that the Democrats that Warren and her ilk are going to provide you with other than taxing the rich, taxing the billionaires, right, or as Bernie Sanders famous used to say, the millionaires and the billions. Elizaeth Warren's a millionaire.

Bernie Sanders is definitely worth somewhere in the seven figures. I don't know what. He's got three houses, so the ottomillion is not this one. This one does not count. That's what they offer you. They tell you that if only we have stricter rules, only we do more to make life well a little more difficult for very rich people, than your life will mean a lot easier. And that's

just not true. It is not the case. It is not the case that your life will be easier, that you will be wealthier if there are these rules and restrictions. Keep in mind that this is where we have to do a lot of re educating of the American people, because the media goes along with this stuff like here, here's the narrative. I'll give you two narratives about where

capitalism has failed in them. What the truth of them is, right, The narrative of the financial crisis of two thousand and eight in shorthand Walls Street sold houses to people with fine print that they couldn't understand, that they couldn't afford, and then took those obligations, took those debts and essentially merged them all together and sold them to each other, sold them to other other financial entities. And they did this, and then they sold insurance on the sales of those,

you know, credit to fault swapped and all that. Okay, that's so essentially Wall Street greed almost destroyed the entire economy. The real story, which a lot of people just don't seem to care about or aren't going to care about, the real story is that over a series of decades, federal laws were passed, and these laws were also supported by the enormous and very expensive federal quasi federal agencies

of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mack. Federal laws were passed that banks had to lend to people even if they had bad credit. This was because there was a disproportionate effect on particularly the African American community, of not getting credit right. So black people were not being given loans

based on their FICO scores by the banks. And they called it redlining, and I'm sure there are were discriminatory practices too, but it went from no discrimination and lending to it doesn't matter if you can show that this person is a bad bet, you have to lend to them if they are a minority, or else we're going

to come after you. And the Clinton administration, for example, made a big deal of going after banks and suing banks because they were not lending sufficiently to African American lenders. But then it expanded because once you've gotten rid of FYCO scores for some people, it's easier to get rhythm for more people. Right. And then we had this bipartisan consensus and the government pushing this if everybody should own we have a homeownerships aside, and Bush administration bought into it.

So we get rid of the lending standards. And then we're told everybody should own a home, and then everybody should put it on credit. And then Wall Street comes in and says, well, we got all this credit that's backed by the federal government. You know, we can't lose. And then when they were about to lose and they got bailed out by the government. But there was a lot of social justice and social engineering and all that stuff in the run up to this, and that just

gets left out of the discussion. So you know, at the very end of this you get the Financial Protection Bureau, which is just saying, oh, you know there's illegal and bad lending practice. Yes, there are badly bad lending practices.

The government has been dictating lending practices for decades. The Community Reinvestment Act stretches back to I think the nineteen sixties, which was the start of this idea that you have to lend into certain neighborhoods if you're a bank, you have to or else the government will sue you, or discrimination and saying well, this person, they have a history of not paying their bills, I don't want to lend them. Sorry, that's racist. That's the very short version of that much

longer story. And then on healthcare, which we could do a similar thing on healthcare. Truth about healthcare is that, as we talked to Ovic Roy about this earlier in the week, almost half almost half of healthcare spending already is government healthcare spending in some way, and the government is involved in hospital probably way. Hospitals are scams. Go into an emergency room sometime they take your food pressure to charge you a thousand dollars. I'm not even kidding.

It's crazy. Hospitals are scams. Only go to a hospital if you have literally no choice, there's no other choice. But that's government regulation, right, I mean, there's so much government regulation that goes through that process. But we're told

that it's unfair because of the greedy capitalists at the top. No, what makes it unfair are the market distortions that are created, yes by some special interests and pharmaceutical companies, but also by the government thinking that it's good at helping to set prices, that it's good at making determinations about how private industry, in this case, private healthcare should function. It

is not good at that. So, you know what, We're going to be told stories about the failures of capitalism that are often and these are stories that if people believe them, it could change the future of this country because they're gonna put wackos like Warren in charge. We need to know and spread the word about the truth, which is that there are already as a tremendous amount of regulation of law in our capitalist system. We do not have a free market. So if we're going to

identify failures. We can't just say it's a failure of the free market. It's often a failure of government intervention in the market that creates the distortion that's then exploited by special interests who then maintain that by by putting money in the pockets of politicians. But it's a lot easier to say, yeah, the big me and rich people are the problem. It is a lot. I will say it's a lot easier, and Democrats will do that. They

will go that route. They will say that it's all about things being a lot easier for them, and that is my expectation. So we have a whole lot more coming up. Team stay with me.

I think all of us know is that so many Americans are losing faith in this country's

ability to work for them. People are feeling left out, left behind, and I think a lot of folks will begin the field. But the forces that are tearing us apart in this country are stronger than the forces that tie us together. I don't believe that, and so I'm running to restore our sense of common purpose, to focus on the common pain that we have all over this country. My record, I think when I have a chance to put it before people, they're going to see a very

different sort of not usual path in politics. And where I live. You know, I still live in the central ward of Newark, New Jersey. The only senator that goes home to a community that's you know, still a low income community, inner city community. We got Corey Booker throwing his hat in the ring for twenty twenty as we all knew he would. I even said he would last week. But that's not a prediction, it's it's obvious. Corey Booker now officially wants to be the president the United States. Okay,

first of all, notice how he positions himself. And I know that this is all all the tradecraft of the politico, but you know, he comes out and he's talking about the shared concerns, shared problems. He wants to run as the bipartisan moderate Democrat guy. He wants to run as you know, I all feel your pain, and I'll fix it if you give me tremendous power. You know, that's

what he's saying. You know, that's what he's saying. He's saying he will feel, he will feel your he already feels your pain, and in fact, he'll try to make the pain go away if you just make him president of the United States, So he sees his lane in this whole thing. Right, You got you know Warren, who apologize you see that apologize the Cherokee nation today. So she so she's a fraud. So we now now she's a you know, it's like you don't apologize for murdering

somebody unless you murdered somebody. You know, she committed a fraud. So this is pretty clear she's a fraud. Fine, at least she did say sorry. Do we think she's really sorry? Do you think she just got caught? I'll leave that to you. She did release those DNA results, so that's something that somebody would have to explain how you could think that that's a good idea. But she did, you know,

she did. She released him. So she's now obviously running as the female Bernie Sanders, or maybe Bernie Sanders is running as the mail Elizabeth Warren. Really you know, hey, I'm not trying to man explain over here. They're both in nightmare exactly, or Mike explain. Perhaps I've seen I've

seen how fights do you get? Uh? So you got these democrats that are lining up some of their different some of their different pathways and their their version of you know, the Republican primary from twenty sixteen, where you're gonna have a lot of people, so they have to

differentiate themselves. So Corey Booker differentiates himself from the eyes of being that you know, I'm just I'm just a guy who's just gonna like bring everyone together, and I just want everyone to be friends, and I just want to fix things. And okay, fine, there's a little problem though with that. First of all, you will recall just this past summer, Corey Booker was the guy who decided to be mister tough street fighter on the political beat.

Play it. I openly invite and accept the consequences of my team releasing that email right now, and I'm releasing it to expose a number one. The emails are being withheld from the public have nothing to do with national security. Now. I appreciate the comments of my colleagues. This is about the closest I'll probably ever have in my life to an I Am Spartacus moment. Pretty far from Spartacus, as

we all know. You know what he should do, though, and I'm serious, he should show up at a at like a low key campaign event wearing like full on Spartacus regalia, you know, with like with the sword and the whole, the whole get up. You know, he should show up and lean into it a little bit. That would make it go away. I think, you know, if he were like, yeah, whatever I said it, that'd be kind of funny. It can't be. He can't give a

speech stress like that, although maybe he would. But if he showed up with the sandals and the grieves and the chess play and the whole thing, what do you think? Yeah, that would require a sense of humor, which he does not happen, right, Nor do any Democrats that I know. So, Yeah, Democrat politicians not funny. It is true, they're not funny. Can I tell you something that doesn't that it's kind of funny. I've heard this from a very well known, uh well, I should say very well known, a very

connected DC insider and a connected Capitol Hill staffer. Mitch McConnell loves all the cocaine Mitch stuff. He thinks it is hilarious. It's great. Like people go into his office and give him like that. They'll give him a print out of an article, so he's like her cocaine may he loves it. Multiple independent sources have told me Mitch McConnell thinks cocaine. Mitch hilarious. Yeah, do you want to laugh? You want to be happy? Find it conservative exactly. So

it's true. It's true. We do have the funnier we do have the funnier politicians. I have to say, but so so Corey Booker. He is most well known from at least over the last year. For that, I'm spartic this moment. But also I'm never going to forget that while he tries to be mister Horne or I just I just want everyone to be friends, and I just want to get along. I just want to fix problems and I want to I want to solve the pain

and all this stuff, you know. While while he promotes himself as that right now, I am not going to forget anytime soon that he is also the guy who, six months ago or so or whatever it was, was part of the effort to not just destroy Brett Kavanaugh in front of his wife and children, one of the ugliest things I've ever seen in American politics, and in front of tens of millions of people who were watching

that that hearing. He was part of that effort which no person of honor or decency could have been a part of. Okay, these women were lying. The final one, Thank thank heaven, she actually came out with those accusations because she was just a clear loon. I mean, somebody who was was deranged and just making stuff up for attention.

I mean, the Democrats and the media were willing to put people out there as truth tellers who were about as credible as the person wandering around with a big piece of cardboard sticking out of the shopping cart that says, you know, John three sixteen or whatever, why is it always John three sixteen? By the way, You know, I don't know. I remember looking at up once and I was a kid because I was like, what is it? And it didn't make sense to me? You know, I

can't now. My curiosity has got the best of me. And people right now are already without looking it up because they're better at this than I am. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who's ever believe it than him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God loved the world in this way, he gave his one and only son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Well that's a great Bible verse. Why

why do I people? Why do people at football games and crazy people in the street and hold up John three sixteen posters? Am I missing something? How did this become a meme? A meme before there were memes? Yeah, it's been popular sports culture forever. Right, it's been popular sports culture. So I don't get it. But the Kavanaugh hearing, the Kavanaugh hearing told us who Corey Booker really was.

The Kavanaugh hearing made it clear to us that Corey Booker is a person of no integrity or decency or honesty. He's just another politician who will do whatever he wants. I will never forgive or forget the Senate Democrats who were part of that callavaied ritualized torture session of a good man who is now thankful a Supreme Court justice. I'm not going to let that go. I'm not going to let that pass. We saw who they were that day, and we should never ever forget it. I certainly am

not going to any time. So you know, Corey Booker is running whoop d He just here's an early prediction he just doesn't have it. He just doesn't have it. You knows a little. He's a little whimpy, a little boring, not really very charismatic. It's just not gonna work. Not gonna work. And I think that I don't even think he'll last that far into the primary. That's that's my prediction. So we can always go back and visit that, and that's what we'll do. Team. I've got much more show

en route. Stay with me. One of the things we're considering, obviously, is a national emergency, and it is it's an invasion of our country of not only people, not only gangs and criminals and human traffickers. It's an invasion of drugs into our country. It's an invasion like you've never seen before. You talk about heroin, ninety percent of the heroin coming into our country comes in through the southern border. We

can stop so much of that. And I'll tell you this, if we build a proper barrier with all of the technology, which only really works with the barrier, but if we build a proper barrier with great technology too, we will see crime throughout the United States go down in percentages that we've never seen before. It'll be an amazing thing because so much of it comes through the southern border.

How could it not be considered a crisis when most of the drugs coming into this country that are killing seventy thousand people a year are coming across our southern border. Take this one down to basics. Look at this one without all the political heat and the posturing and the demagogue, or just look at it for what it is. What should we make of the fact that the Democrats continue to pretend like there's not a crisis at the border.

I mean, it's it's astonishing to me. You know, people look at the seizure yesterday and the fact that they're the Left's first response to a massive seizure or fentanyl at a port of entry is oh, look, it's at a port of entry. It's not only at ports of entry.

And by the way, ports of entry are also under greater strain because in terms of the security that's there, because you have immigrations and customs enforcement and border patrol having to process a lot of people coming into the country and dealing with a lot of people who are surrounding themselves as family units giving them medical care. This

is all strain on the system. This all takes people away from the job of law enforcement and makes them act like a makeshift red cross on our southern border. So when we look at that, we should all understand that the stakes are life and death. Bernie Sanders and Acazio Qutez. Later on we'll talk about how they think that green energy is a life and death issue and

it's not. And it's really an embarrassment that they think it is Perhaps no more embarrassing than when Barack Obama said when he was speaking at the Coastguard Academy that climate change is the greatest national security threat we face. Talk about tilting at windmills. This just makes no sense at all, It makes no sense, But they really believe this, They really believe this. Here we have a true crisis, a major emergency, and there's just no interest whatsoever from

the Democrats and taking serious actions to stop it. When they say things like oh, we need drones, we need drones, I say, okay, that just means that you'll know someone's crossing the border in time to not get there and arrest them. So you'll just have nice footage of somebody who's doing an illegal crossing. How does that help anyone. How does that help anyone that I don't think that

they have an answer for this. By the way, also, how can we not have a crisis at the border When you look at how many people are dying and you look at the numbers with say, just fentanyl and heroin alone, and compare it to ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. It's not just the numbers of illegal crossings that are so disconcerting, it's how much is pouring into our country by way of drugs that kill people. These are more lethal drugs, dude. This This isn't you know, bales of

hero I mean, pardon me. This isn't bales of marijuana in the back of someone's truck driving into the US or people bringing it down from Canada. These are drugs that are so lethal that if you touch them you can die. Which the biochemistry of that has been explained to me by a doctor before, and it still is

hard to believe. And as was mentioned, I think on this show yesterday, you know, there's a lot of narcan out there, so you still have this very high overdose death rate, but it would be a lot higher if there was not a very effective drug that could counteract that could counteract these overdoses. I mean, thankfully it is there.

But I'm just telling you that the scale of this problem is even greater than a lot of people realize, because the only thing that has really paid attention to our deaths not near deaths, and a lot of lives are being saved with narcan. A lot of emergency medical responders have to carry Narkan with them now and are using it. So this is a very serious issue, and you know the China connection to it too. You think

about the real national security challenges that we face. We've gotten so wrapped up in thinking that we need to stop every g hottest overseas. And look, I've been guilty of it too in the past, thinking well, we've this group says they're aligned with al Qaedas, so we've got to go after them, or that says they're aligned. Sometimes

we do, sometimes we don't. But when you have the crisis at our southern border, you have China stealing our intellectual property at a rate that will give them near technological and therefore military parody, if not superiority to us going forward. And then yeah, the Chinese not as an official state policy, but it is interesting isn't it the possibility that maybe maybe the Chinese, which you know, China is a police state, maybe they turn a little bit of a of a blind eye to some of this.

Maybe they're not, as you know, not as as clear on what's leaving their borders when it comes offense and a lot of things as they pretend to be. They are providing the precursor chemicals to then be mixed into these drugs, into these very deadly drugs in Mexico and brought up across the border. Mexico is playing a role

in this too. You know, if it were so easy to do, if it we're not a problem them at all, then why not just why wouldn't the cartel is why wouldn't the bad guys just be making the stuff here? Because they're setting up industrial facilities in Mexico where they can make tons of the stuff, bring it over and it's killing people. It's killing people that you know, and they say it's not a crisis. Trump is taking very seriously, and he say, look that the Chinese they better shape

up on this one too. He says that they're going to do some stuff about fentanyl. One of the things that we discussed in Argentina was fent at al. This is not a trade deal. This is a fact that Presidency was extremely good when he said that they would criminalize fentanyl because fentotyl is killing a lot of our great American people. It's true, it's true, we'll China do what's necessary here to help us. I don't know. I

think that that's very much still an open question. But these these drugs are a scourge unlike any we've ever seen before in this country. It is orders of magnitude worse than the crack epidemic. It is just by the numbers. I know people have said there's some kind of a class or race dynamic to that. I think that that is just refuted when you look at you. We've never had a year before last year when seventy thousand people died of drug overdoses. That's never happened before in this

country's history. And it's an astonished number. For every seventy for every person who dies, think of how many friends, family, love, the ones they have that are shattered by this. So it's a crisis, Okay, it's a crisis. Democrats need to stop just playing the most pathetic politics with this and get on board for securing the border. They just won't do it. This is a real life and death issue,

and they just don't care. A fascinating and very disturbing disparity in the way that the abortion bills in New York and Virginia are being discussed or not discussed, or being covered or not covered by the media. I see here that the go to tactic when there's a moment when the American people get to see just how grotesque in barbaric the true pro choice side of the argument is when there is an opportunity for that, the media's

best response usually. I mean, they can lie, but they can only lie so much because it either is or is not. We're talking about a matter of law. This is why Representative Tran of the Virginia State Legislature who said that yes, it would include abortional up to a birth. That's because that is what the law says. I mean, they can say that, you know, they can try to say that it doesn't they can try to say that nobody would ever do that, but that is what the

law says. So this is a yes or no question, and when they have to answer tough yes or no questions, their Their preferred method is once the word is out, they just act like, what do you mean, it's not a big story. That's not it's not a big deal at all. That doesn't really matter. Who cares about this. We should listen to people when they tell us who they are, and in the last few days we've gotten a real sense of who the progressive left are in

this country. But it also reminds me of and I have to hat hit my friend Rahim Kassam for putting this out there on the internet and pointing out to everybody. You know, Trump knew who Hillary was on this issue quite a long time ago, whoever it was during the during the debates, and he got hammered at the time by the pro Hillary press, which is ninety percent of them. He got hammered because he said, look, you need to understand what Hillary Clinton is willing to support. They said, oh, no,

she won't, she won't support that. That's not true. It turns out it is very much the case. But here's what he said to her back then, light term partial birth. Well, I think it's terrible. If you go with what Hillary is saying in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. Is based on what she's saying and based on where she's going and where she's been, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in

the ninth month, on the final day. Well, that is not what happens in these cases. And using that kind of scare rhetoric is just terribly unfortunate where it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth. That was what Hillary said, And now we're just going to play over what Hillary is. Oh, that's horrible and barbaric, and that's not what happens. Here is what was said on

the Virginia legislature floor a couple of days ago. Play John, would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified she's dilating, mister chairman. That would be a you know, a decision that the doctor, the physician and the woman understand that. I'm asking if your bill allows that. My bill would allow that. Yes, So what exactly was Hillary saying about how that's part you know that that's not fair and

that's not what happened. It is what would happen, and we've all known all along that's what would happen, and that they have to you see, they have to legalize third trimester abortion because if there were any restrictions on abortion and the third trimester, that would be a concession that this is a baby. That would be a concession

that this is a life that is involved. And they don't want to make that concession because if it's a baby at nine months, if it's a baby when it's coming out of the birth canal, you have to ask the question, well, is it a baby at eight months, seven, six, five four, And they don't want they don't want to have to answer those questions. Better to pretend that it's not a baby at all, and to do so under this rubek of doctors and women making choices about their

own health. That's just that's just blather. That's not addressing the issue. That's not talking to the issue. But I would just know that, you know, Hillary, people always say, oh, Trump, he's got a problem with the truth. But what he said there was correct, and the media was all over him. The media pounced. You could say that was that was

another one. In the last twenty four hours, you've seen so many news stories from these different major outlets and papers where they keep doing this, Oh, Republicans pounce on what Governor Northam says. Well, yeah, I mean they're gonna they're gonna react pretty strongly to a guy saying that, yeah, you can kill baby sometimes if you if you really, if you really have to kill a baby, you can kill a baby. When when a state governor says that,

people are going to quote pounce. But I just think it's a fascinating case study in how the media tries to run interference and tries to do whatever it can to help one side of this argument, tries to be helpful to one side of this argument, and that's it's never about the initial act that a Democrat has committed or the initial thing they've said. It's always all Republicans pounce. They're going too far, they've overreached. That's another one. They'd

like to say, Oh, they've overreached. That is not the case at all, certainly not the case here. And that brings me to a little bit of a public back and forth I had today with a few never Trump conservatives online, which is fine. Some of them I like, some of them, I detest depends on which one we're talking about. But there's a particular sensitivity right now to

what I had said or what I had written. And we'll say now is we have seen that the Democrats are in the last month and if you ally with them, if you are willing to support them and support they're getting into power when they are when they are favorable to illegal immigration, pro and fanticide, want a seventy to

a ninety percent tax rate. You know, you add up all these things, and if you are supporting them because you think that's a way to chasen Trump or own the drum for whatever, there's a name for that, you're called a Democrat. Now, I know that never Trump. People get very mad when you say this, because I'm not saying you can't. You know, first of all, you know people can say whatever they want to say, But I'm

not calling out people who criticize Trump. Have problems with Trump. Look, if he doesn't build that wall, I'm gonna have a big problem with Trump. And I think that Trump sometimes is self defeating in certain ways with his messaging. I think that he makes things harder. He certainly makes it harder for people like me to make a case for the parts of his message that we do really like and agree with him on. Right, So there's certainly criticism to be had of Trump. And I've talked before about

the nepotism around Trump. That's I can't defend that, and people who think it's okay, just wait until you have you know, Kamala Harris's husband as Secretary of the Treasury or something, you know, I mean, that's then then you'll be like, oh, I don't like nepotism. All too late. But there's plenty of ways to criticize the president. That's different than allying with the other side though, and this shouldn't be that complicated a concept, but people get very

emotional about this. If you want to say, I don't like what Trump is doing, but I do appreciate that the Republicans stand for life and the Democrats stand for death, and therefore I would rather Republicans be in charge of the Congress than the Democrats. Fine, but if you're if your response to what you're seeing happening here is you know what to really teach the Republicans a lesson? We need to give the Occasio Cortez, Warren Sanders, Hillary Clinton,

wing of the party. We need to give them power. We need to put them in power so that they can do the things that they want to do. You're allowed to do that, but that's just called being a democrat. That is what that is. It is called being a democrat. So I think we should be able to be pretty clear about that. I mean, never Trump. People can as mad as me if they want that. I'm not calling all them out on this. I'm just saying this is how I see it, and I think it's pretty clear

at this point. The other side has showed us who they are. This month, really or the last month, I should say, they have showed us who they are. And it's not good. It is not pretty. It's not something that I would ever want to be a part of. So time to double down on conservatism. I've been talking about snippy dot com for a little while now.

You're talking about zero carbon emissions, no use of fossil fuels within twelve years. That is the goal. It's ambitious and that possible. To talking about everybody having to drive an electric cart. It's going to require a lot of rapid change that we

don't even conceive as possible right now. That it is absolutely imperative and a life and death issue that we have got to transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to sustainable energy. If you do not, for example, close the refrigerator door quickly, you will be letting cold out into your kitchen area, and then there will be necessary electricity to make the cold thing happen in the refrigerator, which is fossil fuels, which do things environment I'll go

press though, that's all I need to say. This is lunacy. This is lunacy from Acasio Cortez and from Bernie Sanders. It's it's really similar lunacy. And right now we're being told or being told this when it's oh so cold that I said, sure enough, there are people out there, Elizabeth Warren one of them. People are going to take this approach that, oh, the temperatures are a function or you know, the temperature last few days across the Midwest,

and it's because of climate change. Because we hit some records in some places. And I said, well, there are other places where we did not hit a record. We did not hit a record because oh, that's right, the record was hit in the eighties, or the record was hit you know, and some other I mean, this is just it's silly, It is intellectually unserious. But they keep doing this, They keep saying Oh, if we don't do something dramatic, I'm calling it the Great Green Leap Forward.

I should probably run an article on that, Mike. I think that would get some attention. See, when Mao was running China, China was in a impoverished agrarian society, a lot of subsistence farming, very very bad. And you know, when you're talking about the nineteen fifties, you're looking at a country that was in need of some modernization, to be sure. So they figured, all right, let's just push this thing forward. Let's make it happen a lot faster

as a function of central government planning. Right, I mean, let's actually make sure that people are doing what the government tells them do. I mean, this is the Great Leap Forward was from nineteen fifty eight to nineteen sixty two. Right, they were forcing people into the cities, taking them out of the countryside. Well, it led to mass starvation and all kinds of government abuse and very very bad things. That wasn't initially the plan, but that is what happens.

In one of my favorite books on the subject, the term that is used to describe this is local improvisation.

And this is just a corollary relate to what we have with our government and the genius of the founding, right, the reason that we have local and then state and then federal, and they're all separate jurisdictions but also intertwined jurisdictions in a sense, And the reason we have federalism, we have this system of checks and balances all these things is because we want people to be able to make the most effective decisions for themselves as often as

they can and as quickly as they can. And people in a certain township, for example, on that town council are going to handle town issues better. And somebody in Washington, d C. Who just says, yeah, do it this way. And we've seen this time and again in history when you let the march of progress occurs, especially technological progress, economic progress, when it occurs based upon people that are

involved in the thing and can engage in improvisation. Oh, baking the cookies this way, it doesn't work, I'll bake them that way. This is how you got people to make better cookies. When DC says make all the cookies the same way or else, or else we're gonna take away your bakery. That's bad, right, It was very bad in China, and they led to mass starvation and horrific oppression against the people that tried to push back against it.

And this does not work. You know, people say, oh, but book, what about the Manhattan Project and getting the Moon? The Manhattan Project wasn't three hundred million people all trying to do advanced math problems on a chalkboard. It was a small, secret government program about a technology that was necessary for military survival. You know, government can do some stuff like that. Sometimes they're they're they're good at that.

But it was not a collective mobilization of the entire country toward the goal of figuring out something incredibly complicated. What had taken a lot longer if the Manhattan Project

had been everybody involved. Yeah, my name is Phil and I'm from West Philly, and I just want to say that your calculations about fission look a little off to me, and I would prefer if you're going to go toward the splitting of the neutron in that fashion ego ipso day fact though, and I'm done right, Producer Mike, you would have your buddy, your buddies would have slowed down the Amountain project if they're involved. I think This is true. My dad's from West Philly. I've spent some time with

West Philly. It's uh, it's interesting. Once got held up in West Philly at gume Point. Sounds like you've been in West Philly. I've been. Yeah, beautiful, Yeah, lovely this time of year, I'm sure too. You know. Unfortunately, when you're in Philly and there's snow on the ground, they don't play like a rocky montage behind you all the time. You know, you don't. It's maybe better if you're wearing like a sweatsuit you're working out and stuff. But for the most part, not really place I want to be.

But all right, so, but back to the great green leap forward. Think about how expensive everything is going to be. When everything is more expensive, it's the way to really put this into context. Think about what it would mean.

Because o'casio Quartez and this is this is why we don't have real journalists, because they would ask questions like, Okay, you want a massive green energy plan, what roughly what percentage of gasoline is expended in the t is expended by cars and the transportation industry versus in actual products. I bet you would have no idea whatsoever. Absolutely none. The answer is about half and we think of it. Oh, it's just going to affect you at the pump the

price of gas. That's not true. It's not just the price of gas, which also affects the price of products because of the transportation side of the equation. It's also fossil fuels that are used in products, products, my friends, things, the very things itself that you buy or themselves that you buy, and that's that's all going to go up and be much more expensive. And remember, you wouldn't be doing this. You wouldn't be paying all this money for

something that is good and tangible and real. You would be paying this money so that you could deal with climate change, which anybody who pays attention knows they're wrong about over and over again. And this is so that you can stop there from being more co two in the air. Point zero four percent of the Earth's atmosphere

is carbon dioxide. So we're going to spend trillions of dollars, put massive breaks on the economy, and do all of this so that point zero four percent of the carbon dioxide will be adjusted, maybe twenty percent over the next

twenty years. Normal people don't think this way. But the good news is the American people are getting to see the extent of the radicalism of the left from people like Alexandra Occazio Cortez and Bernie Sanders, people who have knowledge of neither science nor economics, but they know how to push people's buttons. They know how to sound like they care and that they're going to take on the

big bullies and the mean capitalists. That are the reason that they say, the reason that you know things are getting more expensive for you. The reality is they're also the reason that this country and the people living it right now are so incredibly wealthy that if you told someone from one hundred years ago this is where we'd be, they wouldn't believe you. But that requires some perspective which

the left does not have. If you're running a business, large or small, you've got to have background checks done and the people that you're hiring and bringing in right. It's important as liability issues, and you also want to make sure that you could trust the people around you.

That's why you need to trust Global Verification Network.

You are now entering the Freedom Hot Titical Operation Center. All sense of the programs Musky Caps strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared and ready for the Buck Brief. We've provided Russia and ample window of time to mend its ways and for Russia to honor its commitment tomorrow that time runs out. Russia has refused to take any steps to return real and verifiable compliance over these sixty days. The United States will therefore suspend its obligations under the

I n F Treaty, effective February second. Russia has jeopardized the United States security interest, and we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while Russia shamelessly violates it. If Russia does not return to full and verifiable compliance with the treaty within this six month period by verifiably destroying its I n F violating missiles, their launchers, and

associated equipment, the treaty will terminate. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced earlier today that the US is suspending the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which is an important part of European nuclear security since the Cold War. It seems like kind of a big deal. What does it mean and what does it tell us about Trump's relationship with Russia? Brought on somebody who answers this and oh so much more. Rebecca Heinricks is in the house. She is a senior

hello at the Hudson Institute and a missile super expert. Rebecca, thanks for calling in. I'm so happy to do it. Thanks for having me. All right, So what is the just before we get into the the what comes next? Tell us what's come before here a little bit. The Intermediate Range Juclear Forces Treaty. What is it? Is it a big deal? Why should people care? Sure? Well, at the end of the Cold War, this is one of those treaties people think of it as it is a

major Cold War treaty. And what it does is it abolished the possession, the testing, and the deployment of a whole category of missiles, ground launch cruise missiles. So these are missiles that can range Europe, and we removed ours from Europe the European theater. The Russians or the Soviet

Union at the time got rid of theirs. And the reason that we don't like them, the reason that we thought that they would state realizing at the time, is because these particular kind of missiles are their shorter range, so that the person who is in range of them, these countries who are arranged of them, have much shorter

decision time if Russia decides to launch one. They had many, many of these particular type of missiles, and so we Ronald Reagan negotiated this treaty and we abolished and successfully removed this particular range of missiles from the European theater. Now, since then though Russia has been cheating. They have not only been testing this particular type of missile, but now

they are deploying several battalions of this particular missiles. The Obama administration knew they were doing, couldn't get Russia to comply, but we're still bound by the treaty. And so now the Trump administration tried for a couple of years to get Russia to come back into compliance with the treaty, and rather than do that, they've just gone the other direction and continue to deploy more of them. So the Trump administration announced today that we are not going to

be suckers to use the president. You know, President has said that in the past, We're not going to be suckers anymore. This is a perfect example of that. And so we are. We have announced that in six months of freshness, no longer complying with the treaty than we are out of the treaty. The treaty's gone, so we will be out of this treaty. What what's the concern, right, because people, anytime you talk about pulling out of a

nuclear treaty, you're telling me that Russia is cheating. We've been known, we've known for a while that Russia is cheating, So why wouldn't we want to pull out of the treaty. I'm sure there must be some you know, if Trump is doing it, it has to be bad. There are a lot of people out there that will think that. And so what are they going to say? This is destabilizing, this is Trump pushing us to nuclear war. So the arguments, it's so the arguments for those who so I support this,

I support this. I think that you know, for too long the United States has thought that we call its arms control. These are the treaties we have with other countries that constrain those parties to the treaties from what can deploy, things that they can possess, different types of missiles they can possess, and more head numbers, etc. And a lot of people who have a lot of confidence in these agreements think that these by having these treaties,

that the world is safer and more stabilizing. But both parties have to abide by them, otherwise it just constrains the United States just ties our hands and doesn't constrain stairs. So I think it makes a load of sense to get out of treaties in which the United States know we abide by treaties like boy Scouts because we're Americans. It's how we do it. Countries like Russia just try

to cheat. They treat on the margins, they cheat outright sometimes, and then the United States continues to try to get them to comply. So the fear is here for those who think we should be party to this treaty or to continue to try to get the Russians to comply and stay in the treaty. They fear that there's going to be an armed race if we get out of the treaty. But my argument to that is, but the

Russians are already doing it. The Russians are already developing and deploying these missiles, So we're not going to incentivize

them to do the thing that they're already doing. It just now gives us the option to one, perhaps that deploy these things back in the European theater, if we believe that that's what we need to deter Russia, or perhaps in the Asian theater, because the Chinese have never been party to this treaty, and if the Chinese were party to the treaty, more than ninety percent of their entire missile force would be in violation of it. It's basically like their entire missile force as I n F

noncompliant missiles if they were party to the treaty. And so this gives the United States an option now to look at different theaters and say, hey, maybe we might want to invest in this particular weapons system. Again, also politics, right, they're going to be able to look at this through that lens. Here's what Kelly ha and Conway had to say after the announcement came out today. Yeah, well, he's been tough on Russia for a while, and I would like to see how they're going to spin this one.

This is a president who has put additional sanctions on Russians, on bad actors where he and his Treasury Department have seen fit. He's expelled sixty plus Russians from this country, shut down two of their consulates at last count, and I think pushed back on Putin at once but twice when one of his puppets, Assad in Syria gassed his own people. When the President saw that, he took action immediately.

People have to start looking at the facts and the figures about how tough this president has been on Russia at the same time trying to negotiate peace where he can and big resolved by two major countries where it's appropriate. What do you make of this? I mean, we always hear from at least some of the media that Trump is not just soft on Russia, but he's Putin's puppet. People actually say this kind of stuff, and yet you just heard that recitation of different facts from Kelly Ann Conway.

I could throw a few others in there too that she left off. What do you make of it? I think that Kelly An Conway is exactly right. Listen, I've been watching I Nuclear Deterrent. I've been you know, that's kind of my main area of specialty. I focus on US Russia relations, US China relations because these are the great powers that have a lot of nuclear weapons. So this is an area that I focused on for many years. And a lot of people have asked me, Rebecca, aren't

you worried about Trump? Aren't you worried that the Russians have something on Trump that could harm US security? And I have said since he was the Republican nominee, you know, and since then, I'm going to be able to tell if there's something on Trump by the way he conducts US foreign policy views of the Russia, and Kelly and

Kanway is exactly right. This administration has been far tougher as a matter of policy on Russia in doing what the United States needs to do, not looking to aggravate Russia, but to look but to pursue US interests, regardless of if the Russians complain about what the thing is that we're doing. And I support presidents trying to look for opportunities to extend an open hand to Russia where we can get along with them, because what we don't want

to happen is an alliance between Russia and China. If we can find opportunities to cooperate with the Russians so that we can count our rising China, then we should do that. If we can find counter terrorism opportunities to work together, we should do that. And we should pursue our interests like like the I n F treaty for instance. If they're not going to comply, then we don't. We shouldn't be party to that treaty. So Kelly and Conway

is exactly right. And you can see now the same people who accuse President Trump of being an agent of the Russian government are pretty quiet now when it comes to the ion F treaty, or they're saying, oh no, the are going to aggravate Putin. You know, they're kind

of all over the board on this. So the President Trump does not get enough credit for leading an American foreign policy that's good for the United States and tous when the Russia tuf one Russia when the Russian needs need it, and its farm truffer than the Obama administration was by far. Rebecca Hinrich everybody Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Hudson Hudson Institute dot org. Check out her latest research there and you'll see her on Fox News. Rebecca, great

to have you on. Thanks so much, have a good weekend. We right back, team Hey, Team Buck, It's time for roll call. And I didn't pick that. I didn't pick the best weather for NYC. John. It's a little a little bit chilly up in here. Not exactly what I had in mind, But it was worse yesterday. Well, yeah,

it was DC yesterday. It was painful to walk around outside, but then again, it wasn't like Chicago, where from what I understand, people were throwing buckets of water up in the air, and they would turn to icicles or whatever. Not icicles, but you know, snow, yes, snow, there you go, they turned it. That's right, they would turn to snow,

not icicle. Buck, get it together, Sexton. I am happy that'll be up in New York City hometown, even when it's congested and freezing and there's a lot of sludge and snow and the snow is yellow in a lot of places. You know, that's special New York snow. That's the special New York snow. You know what I mean. You're like, oh, look at that. We have multi colored snow here in New York City. There's no place like home, right, but I do miss it. Yeah, man, there's there's no place.

There's definitely no place like home. Is it? Is it the best place? That's a whole other conversation. Alrighty, Jeremy, First up on Facebook, We're gonna double the Facebook this weekend, Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. That's the way to do it. We can double that action. Here's what Jeremy says. Buck. It has been a while, but wanted to say that your monologue on the state of the US's military is

well done. We have fallen into a mindset that warre in the Middle East is the norm and will never change. It's great to hear someone on the right who calls into question our world military presence and hope more people will listen. Shields high, Jeremy, Well, Jeremy, I hope that your hope comes true. I mean, I think that there's plenty of reason and there's lots of evidence to support the idea that we probably should not continue to do

what we're doing. I mean, I've been saying for a long time what we're doing in Afghanistan is not going to work. It's not going to work. Okay, So we can talk a lot about how oh well do you know I've been saying for how many years on this show that the strategy is the same strategy. I mean, you have the same strategy and the same, if not worse factors aligned against the strategy. Your prospects for success are dim, and that is the truth of the mission

in Afghanistan. Trying to leave a presence there to hold it all together. That all sounds fine. People said to me, oh, buck, but we don't have to not doing a lot of the front line fighting. That's the Taliban, that's Afghanist I mean, that's the Afghan National Army and the Taliban that's up to them, and that I just say, that's all true

until things get really bad. You know, remember that your your presence of four or five thousand soldiers becomes a much bigger issue when the bad guys are making a run on the capitol of the country. You know, when the bad guys start threatening to massacre a whole division of the Allies, that your soldiers. So, you know, if we have four thousand Americans spread around a few bases, let's say I think it's more like nine thousand Afghanistans.

Let's say it's let's say it's ten thousand. You've got ten thousand Americans spread around Afghanistan. Okay. What happens when you see an Afghan Army division completely encircled by Taliban in Helman Province? Okay, yeah, sure, we'll deploy air assets. What if that's not enough, then we're gonna send our guys in. What if the Taliban has twenty thousand, Now we're gonna do what you see, all of a sudden, you get pushed into the well. We better do a lot more or else our soldiers are going to be

under real threat. And that's that's where this starts to become I think, a very big problem, very quickly. All right, Mike, what Mike? Mike writes buck any thoughts on the peace negotiations in Afghanistan with the Taliban and the era of Trump. It's hard to get news on something like that. Thanks Shields High. Well, Mike, I was just kind of turns out I was just kind of talking about it, you know.

I think that here's the reality. There's very little reason to believe that whatever deal that we have with the Taliban will be respected for any length of time by the Taliban. They will, they'll adhere to the deal until it's no longer in their interest to do so. The Taliban has no honor, there's no agreement, there's no agreement that they can sign with us that we should expect them to maintain. So that's what I've got for you all that. I mean, it's unfortunate but true, But that

doesn't mean we shouldn't leave. Staying forever is not a good idea. And I was just explaining why. You'll hear a lot of conservatives saying, oh, it's just a maintenance. President, No, Afghanistan is an active combat zone. It's not South Korea, it's not Germany, it's not you know, Guam. This is a place where you could have a division level military engagement that would require a much larger scale of US military support. And that's how Mission Creep happens. That's how

these things occur. All right, let's see here, Mark, right, Buck, could you please explain why the left hates rich people that were made rich by the left that hates them by purchasing the products from them that made them richet the love the leftist rich politicians that they made rich for voting them. I understand the left things tax money disappears at a nowhere, but are they that dumb? Mark? Yeah, I'm just gonna go with yeah on that one. We ran around in a little bit of a circle there,

But I think I know what you're going for. Tera Hey, Buck, love the show as always. Do you know whatever happened to the Maga bomber? Keep up the gray work shield side terror, you know. I will tell you I have actually not seen any follow up stories of any kind about the Maga bomber. I am not familiar with what the latest information is on him. I'm assuming you mean the guy who was in the magamobile in Florida who

was sending pipe bombs. I always wanted to know if those pipe bombs were if those pipe bombs were active devices, or if they were dummy devices. I know there was some reporting it said that they were lethal devices, but I'm curious when they pulled them apart, what the reality was. Jerry. Someone at work asked the question about late term abortions, is this a new method for harvesting stem cells? Just wondering if you have insight, Jerry, I don't think it's

a new method for harvesting stem cells. Although what we saw from the undercover Planned Parenthood videos taken by the Center for Medical Progress David de Layden and his group is that they do sell the soon to what would be otherwise discarded tissue. They do sell it for They're not supposed to sell it for a profit, but they do so that there is a financial incentive in the abortion industry, and we would be fooling ourselves if we

were not aware of it. Bruce oh Man, Bruce, You're opening monologue on the podcast for January thirtieth made me tear up how the hell are democrats so evil in America? Sale so okay with this? Just want to put my hands on my head in the sands sometimes and give up. Oh, Bruce, I appreciate that you also feel the passion for the topic and the subject matter that I do. And you know, I've gotten a little triad on this show more than one.

So it definitely happens. And in terms of where the Democrats are on this, you know, I saw a Washington Post reporter say that he considered this to be a local news story, and to that I just would respond, It's not a local news story when two of the most major states in the United States are legalizing what

is clearly infanticide. Even if, and this is an important and important part of all this, even if what could happen never does happen, which is not the case, but if, just for the sake of argument, even if they were saying that nobody would kill a baby that was being born under these laws in New York and in Virginia, the fact that it would, in theory be legal is grotesquely immoral and says very bad things about the state of well, the state of ethics in this country, the

state of the law in this country. Al all rights bonfire of progressive lunacy quote. Nice, thanks Al. I try to go for the rhetorical flourishes sometimes, you know, trying to make sure that everybody listens to the show gets they get. Well. I was gonna say, get their money's worth, but the show is free, so I guess get their time's worth. There you go, try to make sure you get your time's worth, which is an important thing. John

writes buck huge fan. I want to see another shutdown because if they see it's gonna happen again, and if it lasts way longer, it will scare the DEM base because they saw what happened before. I don't want it to happen again, and I believe the DEM base will force Pelosi's hand. I don't know, John Pelosi is uh. There's a lot of a lot of criticism. I have

heard Pelosi's pretty hardcore, and she will stick. She will stick to her side of things, no matter I think how much the heat gets turned up because she gets reelected. No matter what. Remember that there is no there is no sanity check on Nancy Pelosi because her district is

full of a bunch of maniacs. So there's that. As to whether a shutdown would accomplish No, I think Democrats would be even more embolded in a second shutdown to do what they've done, even though what we see is it Pelosi said, Hey, open the government up and we will negotiate and we'll talk about fixing the wall. And then then Trump opens up the government and they say, sorry, no funding for a wall, full stop, period, nothing else. I just think that's that's telling us a lot about her,

but unfortunately won't really matter. Robert Rents book. As much as I hate to agree with Rachel Maddow, she isn't entirely incorrect when she suggests that a foreign power like China or Russia could take out part or all of the power grid, a local hacker could do damage. They don't do it because we view it as the equivalent of a nuclear or the near equivalent of a nuclear attack. Robert, I'm not saying that it couldn't happen. I'm just saying

it's part of the only reason the MSNBC audience. And remember Rachel matt I was trying to every night give the MSNBC audience what they want. That's her job. Her job is to give the left wing loons who watched that show what they want, tell them what they want to hear, you know, show them what they want to see. That's the whole point of it. And the reason that Russia is high up on their you know, in terms

of interest level here. The reason they like Russia is because Russia has turned into the Left has turned it into the number one boogeyman for the United States now because they gave Trump the election. That's that's what this is really all about. So I think that's that's why I was pointing to the Russia thing. Yes, technically they could take down the power grid, but do you think the left really worries about that as a general national security issue. No, it's just Russia scary, that's all they

want to say. That's what it is. That's what it is really about. So quick pause here, team, we're gonna come right back, finish up the roll. Call some thoughts for the weekend. It's going to be an extravaganza of awesome. John looks so excited. I even know what to say, because he knows he's got a weekend coming up. Any fun weekend plans? John, just chilling when when it's snowy and cold like this outside. What the good news is

you stay in. You can netflix and and hang out and uh my bad, I got that wrong once before Netflix and hang out is okay. You can netflix and hang out and eat some you know, mac and cheese. Man, dude, frozen mac and cheese so good. So I want to have some right now. We'll be right back. 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. Back into it, my friends. Let's get to it. My dudes, here we go more

roll call. Get it going before the weekend because everybody's working full that weekend. Yeah yeah, um Chris, right, can you tell me more about yourself? I went to Connecticut College, Okay, Chris. I was born and raised in New York City, in Manhattan. I went to Regis High School, which is a Jesuit school here in the city. Then I went to Amherst College. Then I got recruited by the CIA. I worked in the CIA from two thousand and five. At two thousand

and ten, worked at the NYPD Intelligence Division. For part of twenty eleven, went to the Lays to work for Glenn Beck and twenty midway through twenty eleven and stayed there for about six years. Then got a job at Premiere Radio Networks. Blah blah, a lot of radio, a lot of TV, Fox News, wrote a bunch of articles and owned some libs on Twitter, and now here we are. You got a girlfriend named Miss Molly and nice family here in the city. And I got a yeah, a

French bulldog named to Lula. That's really my parents French bulldog, but we all share her because she's a little love bug. And that's pretty much it. Man, that's covered it. We got. We got producer Mike and DJ John in the house making sure the show sounds good, does what it does. So I think you know everything now, man. See that's there. You go put that in your pipe and smoke it. Thanks for asking. If you're a Connecticut college, you're a

small liberal arts college guy. Hopefully you're not getting too inundated with crazy libs. Razy libs, because a lot of crazy lives run around Tia, writes Buck regarding schools being closed due to cold I'm all for it. When the temp is mine is twenty in Kentucky, which isn't used to those extremes. People aren't equipped in short notice to deal with it. For example, waiting at a bus stop in those temps, you would probably need a ski mask

to cover your whole face. I live in Virginia and haven't seen ski masks in stores since the nineteen seventies, which, by the way, is when running shoes came to stores. In nineteen seventy three, we were still wearing kids to gym class. A lot of information in there. Yeah, really cold weather can be tough. I'm not saying it's not. I get that, Tim. What up? Tim? Did you see this AOC sketch on s n L. No? I did not, Tim, But you know what, I will. I will check it out.

Maybe it was actually funny. That sounds like something that maybe Saturday Night Live should try to do more often be funny instead of being being social justice warriors. David writes Buck Michael Savage was onto something border language and culture. Also, liberalism is a mental disorder. I couldn't agree more these days. You know I've listened to I've never listened to a Michael Savage show, and I've only heard a few excerpts

of some monologues. He's done. He's probably the host that I know, the national level radio host that I know the least about. But if you say he's got something good, I'll be sure to check it out. Isn't he retiring? I thought somebody told me he retired. Spencer Buck finally popped up. It took all day to dating it Monday's podcast Shield Time. Brother, I know, Spencer. I'm sorry, man. We're trying to fix it as best we can, as fast as we can. We're working on it. I think

Make sure that you snuggle up with a loved one and hang out and watch a good movie. I will talk to you on Monday, shiell tie.
