You are entering the freedom hunt. Pelosi gets grounded. Apparently she's on Trump's personal no fly list. What does this mean about how this shutdown is going to end? If it's going to end anytime soon, and who's going to come out the winner. Plus a supposed bombshell in BuzzFeed that's going to take down this presidency.
Should we be concerned? Is any of it true? Here's a hint. Probably not, but that is 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 America, You're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember the animal. While many Democrats in the House and Senate would like to make a deal, Speaker Pelosi will not
let them negotiate. The party has been hijacked by the open borders fringe within the party, the radical left becoming the radical Democrats. Hopefully Democrat lawmakers will step forward to do what is right for our country, and what's right for our country is border security. Welcome through the buck sex and Show everybody. We are still in the midst of the shut down, and Trump is absolutely spot on here. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the open borders
fringe within it. This is the case, and we are seeing this now more than ever before, or because the Democrats only argument they can really offer up here is look at how painful the shutdown House. Look at look at how painful the shutdowns become. It's so terrible, it's so mean. Look what Trump is doing, He's so mean. Well why is he doing it? Who wants money to build barriers an additional border security? Why is that so hard Democrats? It's not a lot of money. It's point
zero one percent of the budget. What's really the problem here? What's really the issue? And it is that the Democrats first and foremost refuse to give President Trump the political victory of following through on the central promise of his presidential campaign, because they know that that'll make him nearly unstoppable in the twenty twenty election. Though I know they think they're going to stop him through non electoral means. They're going to try to impeach him and remove him
and prosecute him and all these other things. And we will get to that during the show today. But this is really simple. The other part of this is that Democrats also just are a far left party now on immigration and on the border. I never hear Democrats explain why is it that we should have border security? What's really the problem you know, they say that the ports
of entry are the only places drugs come in. Meanwhile, I think today I just saw a friend at the Washington Examiner share that he was doing essentially what I did in San Diego. He was doing in Texas. And they see seven hundred pounds of cocaine today and one seizure at the border and not at a port of entry out in an open field, somebody coming in on
a pickup truck. So start with that. But why do Democrats say that they they want border security when there's nobody who's coming into the country that they're willing to say once they're here they should not be allowed to se day. I mean, how close to being an open borders party can they be before we call them that, or before we at least say before at least willing to say that they have turned into a party that does not believe in border security. They want to be
essentially a turn style for whoever wants to show up. Yeah, you have to stop, get in line, and then you come through. But it's really just for reasons of government management, taxation, and more to the point, with legal aliens lining up people who are going to need public benefits and therefore, who are going to be likely to vote for the party of the welfare state, which is the Democratic Party.
That's what all this comes down to. But you know, Pelosi claims that there is a negotiation going on here. Pelosi claims that they're willing to have a real discussion. But that's well, we can all judge that for ourselves. Can we play too, don't you a Speaker of the House, have an obligation to be at the negotiating table. We had to negotiating table were night At the last one we went to what I think was a set up with the president pounded as he gave himself leverage to
leave the room. But now we're at the negotiating table. I think she men gave himself leave to leave the room at didn't want to say that, no, they're not the negotiating table, because you know, they wanted to go. Pelosi wanted to go in one of these Codel's congressional delegation trip. It's gonna go to Brussels and then Afghanistan. And this got canceled in one of the greatest acts of presidential trolling. And I am all I'm all for it.
I really am one of the greatest acts of presidential trolling. You could imagine the Pelosi crew and a bunch of other members of Congress were in the bus on the way to Andrew's Air Force Base to be taken all paid for by the tax by the taxpayer. You know, really, just using the Department of Defense is their personal private jet service, taking them for you know, a trip to Brussels and then Afghanistan. And I think they were also stopping maybe in Egypt along the way too, But you know,
essentially it's going on a trip. He's gonna gonna be on a trip, and they get a big per diem when they're over there, a lot of government benefits that come with this whole thing. They don't pay. They don't pay for the travel obviously, they don't pay for their food and lodging. That's all you and me pen for that. And Trump released a letter and he said, look, sorry, right now, given the shutdown, I'm going to cancel the usage of a Department of Defense planes to get you there,
because guess what, Trump's the commander in chief. He has the right to do this. He did it. I love it. I think it's great. I think these congressional delegations are. I know, they're usually boondogglas I used to brief members of Congress on these delegations sometimes, and man, it was a waste. Most of the time. They just wanted to know where they could get the coolest knives in the bizarre and where they can get the best rugs. I'm being serious, that's the kind of stuff that the congressional
delegations were often interested in. I mean, most of these are absolute boondoggles, but the media is horrified, horrified at the politics involved here Play four. The President has responded in sort of a childish way, is the only way to describe it. To the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, this is a sort of a classic example of Trump kind of overreacting. What is Trump has done today? Tactically inept, strategically, knitwitted. The only phrase that comes to mind is nanny nanny boobo.
Nobody who's ever traveled with a congressional delegation would think that this is funding or appropriate or cool. Nobody who's ever to travel with the congretul delegation. Nobody Jake Chapper being all jig Chapperlake actually no, dude. Lots of people.
I'm one of them who had who actually had to sit there and briefly Congression delegation and be like, so you guys don't care, huh, you're you're visiting the What they'll often do because I know, because I worked on this stuff, and I'm not just taking dictation from you know, Democrats and Capitol Hill. Uh. The way it works is that they'll add on a day somewhere that matters on the way. They'll stop in London and Paris and Brussels and Prague and you know, all that gets thrown in there.
But you know, then they'll spend a day in the Green Zone and Baghdad. People go, oh, it's so dangerous their flights coming in a back people live there. I mean, these these these aren't war zones in the sense that people aren't going about their day to day lives in these countries. They're they're not planes being shot out of the sky, God forbid. But you know that's not happening. So so they fly in for a day and get
some briefings and leave. This is not some active heroism or bravery in the part of the Congressional delegation, but just all of the oh it's so terrible and you know, nobody would ever think, nobody ever think this is, you know, funny, you're cute. I actually wrong. I do think it's both funny and cute because I think that Pelosi's I think Pelosi's a clown, a very powerful one, unfortunately, but not
somebody of any intellectual or ethical seriousness. And I have to take this moment, after we've established that there are lots of people to meet, very upset. How how could you do this? You know, Trump trolling Pelosi on this issue is you know, just just fine or terrible, but you know it's just fine and dandy for them. Pelosi the day before canceling the President's State of the Union address. Play three, Speaker Pelosi playing hardball. She's playing hardball. Speaker
Pelosi flexing her constitutional muscle. Nancy Pelosi flexing her muscles today, This bold power play by Speaker Pelosi. She's got a PhD and needling President Trump. This is a move of exceptional cleverness and sadism in a way. I mean, this is political genius. She was showing that she's in charge. What a badass political genius, they say, a badass. What do we think is, let's take a step back. What's
really more important? A speech from the President of the United States to the American people that lays out the state of the Union but also the direction of policy and what he's going to try to do, and it's going to be watched by I don't know, fifteen or
twenty million people or whatever it is. Or a few members of Congress getting to fly to Europe and then a quick stopover in Cobble where they're going to be, you know, rug shopping and get some very you know, thirty thousand foot at best, briefings on what's going on in the country before they leave. What do we think is more important? I mean, I'll argue that neither of
them are really that important. I mean, the State of the Union should just be I think it should just be a policy paper or you know, it should be released as a written statement. That's it. I don't think we have to do more pageantry. I think we get enough visualization of the president. I think we see enough and hear enough from the president. Um, but you know, Nancy Pelosi canceling the State of the Union is brilliant,
it's genius. She's amazing, she's a badass. And then Trump's like, all right, well, guess what your little trip, your little taxpayer funded safari to uh, you know, Brussels. Guess what we're gonna We're gonna put a little little pass on that, because aren't you also then going to ensure that federal workers miss another paid. I mean, I thought we were so concerned with getting federal workers paid. Again, Pelosi's gonna leave, the Speaker of the House is gonna leave the country
for a completely unnecessary trip. And don't even get me started on what it means. And many of you are listening, who who were in the military, or if some of you were in the intelligence community like me, you know
what I'm talking about. When they show up, when a codel shows up in a rock Afghanistan, Oh there's all this, you know, they gotta give them a tour, and everything's gonna look nice and gotta sound right, and there's just a lot of pomp and circumstance rounds unnecessary, it's unnecessary. And now Pelosi is saying that, oh he's and now we can't fly commercial because Trump said we may fly commercial.
So now we're in this big let me tell you something right now, all right, Nancy Pelosi was not flying on a normal commercial flight to Afghanistan. No way she was going to do that. So this pretense that oh, Trump blew Trump blew our cover with this trip. Now and now we can't even fly private even if we wanted to. These people are so full of it all liberals, so hypocritical, so sanctimonious. They really just need to get a grip. But I don't think they're going to anytime soon.
I don't think our expectations should be that all of a sudden liberals are gonna start acting like adults. I think we're just going to see more and more and more of this from them in the era of Trump. Trump has Trump has broken them, and they have not yet figured out a way to deal with it. But this State of the Union situation, I don't think we
need to have the state of the Union address. It's just if the politics of canceling the State of the Union are great, and you're a quote journalist, you better not be run around making some case that the politics of canceling a completely unnecessary congressional boondoggle is some kind of grave national security threat or in justice. This is just it's pathetic. It is pathetic. Why can't people just
tell us what side you're on. Media, just stop lying, tell us the truth about who you're rooting for, and then you can say whatever you want and we'll judge it for ourselves. Stop pretending to be objective, you are liars. Yes, if we have to, I think we absolutely should. I think in no way should we say that the State of the Unions now a partisan event and the Democrats can just cancel it because they don't like republic But
I think it actually could happen. It's not very big, you know, we only have one hundred seats, but we have a huge gallery and there could be some standing room. It's not ideal. I mean, it's supposed to be in the House, and it traditionally has we never tried to bar when the Republicans in charge, we never tried to bar President Obama from doing it. No, whatever we can consider something like that, I think as a Democrats to it will be seen as really petty and really petty partisanship.
Rampaul's idea here that they would do the State of the Union on the floor of the Senate is it's certainly interesting, but his thing that that's gonna be petty and parties that, yeah, of course, that's what Democrats are, you know, and I don't know I that. Look, Republicans can be parties in two Trump is obviously partisans, and Trump fights back. That's why they hate him so much. The Republican Party of ten years ago would have said, oh, you know, they want to cancel the State of the Union.
We must have made them mad. It's our fault. The Republican Party of today, with Trump at the head, is like, okay, all right, you're gonna cancel my State of the Union. I'm going to cancel your BS flight that we all know is a boondog. And I I like that Republican
Party better. I think that you do need to have a check on the manipulations and deceptions of the Democrats, and there need to be consequences for their lives, because remember, you're dealing with people like Congressman Shift, who are just slimy and unethical and gross play five too often in the last two years, the president has acted like he's in the fifth grader, and to have someone who has that kind of the character running the country is an
enormous problem at every level. And you see it now, We've seen it over the last two years, and my guess is we're going to see it in the future. Well, our nation's capital has officially become a playground brook. The President has responded in sort of a childish way, is the only way to describe it, to the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to her letter, essentially saying that do you say the union will be postponed? There you had a cost to get into the mix as well, just calling
the President childish. I mean, they're going to say all this stuff. You know what I say, All right, let's let's fight a little fire with fire here, you know, Let's let's actually show them the way that they like to win these arguments. We're gonna do that. We're gonna do that back. I would know to hear that the White House. I just saw this. Now, this just went up right before we went on air, but that or
a couple hours before runner. But I'm just seeing now that the White House has basically said that this Nancy Pelosi thing where she's saying that she was gonna fly commercial and that this was leaked is quote a flat out lie, and another White House official called it asinine. Yeah, I'm sorry, this is this is so pathetic. It's such
a reach. The White House is going to leak that members of Congress are flying private so that meaning that they're flying on commercial, not private planes, but on commercial you know, airlines to Afghanistan. They're gonna leak that to the press. First of all, how do they know it
came from the White House? Start with that. You're gonna tell me that congressional staffs wouldn't know about this, I mean, the idea that they can pin it on the White House right away, It just goes to show you that this is highly political and that they're trying to make a lot out of this. But even beyond that, Yeah, right, Yeah, Nancy Pelosi, she's really gonna she's really gonna cram into
seat twenty seven g on you know, air Afghanistan. I don't think so, Okay, I don't think Nancy Pelosi was about to get on a commercial flight bound for Cobble. I think Queen Nancy really makes make sure that she has a seat that reclines all the way and has ample champagne wherever she flies. Let's get real, people, all right, let's get real. It is It is a flat outlie.
It is assinine and it's just funny to see. You know, this is you know, Democrats, they're they're they're being really childish about this because they're being exposed because Trump's winning the argument over the wall. Now we're gonna they want to focus on everything on the wall. I was at the border this week, and as I told you at length on Wednesday, the wall works, fencing works, Barriers are necessary. Barriers are incredibly helpful the border patrol. There's no question.
The numbers speak to it. I saw it with my own eyes. I'm telling you it works. And the biggest talking point you'd half the Democrats up to this point was that they don't work. Well, that's just a lie. So now it's oh, they're being so mean to the federal workers, and Trump is leaking to the press that we were going to fly to a complete It's just nonsense. But you know, I got the March for Life and the Women's March. March for Life was today, Women's marches tomorrow.
I want to talk to you about those two very different organizations and causes in some detail. Coming up. You tweeted, we're gonna put this up on the screen regarding Republican Congressman Senator Lindsey Graham. I believe we have this tweet saying they got him, he has compromised, and there it is. I wonder if you'd explain what you were talking about there that this has sparked a fair amount of criticism, not just from republic the kids. Can you explain that comment?
So over the last three years, we have seen many times where Senator Lindsey Graham has told us how dangerous this president could be if he was given the opportunity to be in the White House. And all of the sudden, he's made not only one hundred and eighty turn around, but a three sixty turn around. And so I am pretty sure that there is something happening with him. But
that's quite a charge to make. You say you're pretty sure based on based on what evidence, what facts that that's a remarkable comment to make about a sitting US senator. The the the evidence really is um present to us. It's being presented to us in the way that he's behaving.
But that's not evidence that that's your opinion. But now, as a sitting member of Congress, you would have tweeted they got him on this again, just based on what evidence, on My tweet was just an opinion based on what I believe to be visible to me, and I'm pretty sure there are lots of Americans who agree on this. A remarkable exchange there on CNN earlier this week that I've been meaning to get to with you, but I
was out yesterday when it happened. That was two CNA anchors, actually two sing An anchors that I know pretty well, Poppy Harlowe and Jim Shudo and Ilhan Omar, who is the newest Muslim American. I think she might actually be the first Muslim American congresswoman. She was just sworn in and she canaba. I think she's I think she's from I'm not sure which state actually, on top of my head, Minnesota doesn't matter. Minnesota, thank you. She's from Minnesota, and
she is there getting pushed gently. I would know on what do you mean? Lindsey Graham is compromised. What what do you? What do you say? And that's not of course the WHOA, Where's your evidence? Are being very gentle with her. Let's just cut the cut the bull from in here, shall we? The left? Chelsea Handler, other people who are very outspoken, you know, left wing loons. But people with platforms have been putting rumors out there for
a long time that Lindsey Graham is a closet at homosexual. Okay, that that is what they say. And you know, because of this culture, I would argue, because of this culture of hysteria surrounding all things Russia, because you have all these people who are being told ooh, the p tape is real, with the dossier, and and you know they've got something on Trump. I think that there's more of a space in people's minds to believe this crazy nonsense
than before. But it's crazy nonsense. And on top of that, on top of the lack of veracity, that the left would use rumor mongering about somebody as allegedly gay as
a way to undermine them is grotesque. Just think for a second if it had been a white male member of the Republican Party saying that a Democrat who, let's say, was going along with the Obama gender or a Hillary agenda, or whoever whoever the Democrat president was, that a white male Republican was going on TV or tweeting out they've got him, He's compromised about a Democrat of any of any race right doesn't matter. But just a Democrat saying
that at the left would lose their minds. And by the way, I mean, I think it's fair to get angry about that. I think somebody should. I think that calling somebody a closet a closet at homosexual and using that to undermine them and to debase their politics is disgusting. But but just notice how, oh, and I got into some little little Twitter spat with some blue check journalists about Oh, she didn't she didn't say it, she didn't say it. Oh, now we're going to play the dumb
dumb game. We're all we're all a bunch of dumb dumbs. You know what, what other politician in public life right now who is going along with Trump is being referred to as compromised by by supporting his agenda. And they've
got him. They've got him implies blackmail. Compromised implies blackmail of a personal nature, and talking about a blackmail of a personal nature with regard to Lindsey Graham is obviously meant as an insinuation that Trump and the GOP with him are holding it over Lindsay Graham that he's gay, when there is no evidence of this, and even if there were evidence of this, or at least I should say, even if this were true, that the Left would use this as some kind of a weapon in politics, you
would think would be beneath them. But no, of course not. And then you have on top of this ilan Omar that they want to celebrate. They want to celebrate this woman. They're they're such big fans. She's a Muslim American who's in Congress, and she's a woman, and they there's so much about this, you know, diversity and breaking glass ceilings
and all that stuff that the left really likes. But you can tell that they're already you know, that's kind of a different a different set of rules here, and now they're there's applying a different standard to and I think, by the way, it has much more to do with
the fact that she's a Muslim than anything else. I mean, I do believe that the media is always willing to tolerate what would be considered intolerate bowl from any other religious group in this country, but from Muslims, because Muslims are viewed by the left as a non white minority religion, a religion that is oppressed in the West is oppressed
in Europe and America. They give Islam a pass. This is why you don't see Muslim bakers being arrested because they won't make cakes with you know, sex toys on them or all the stuff that they've done to this this guy out in Colorado, just harassing this baker out in Colorado. But you know they won't do that to Muslims. They don't do that to Muslims. And there's also because they view Islam as having suffered under the colonial yoke
of the West. I mean, there's all this and a lot of it comes from the Academy, and then the media picks it up. This theorizing about why Islam should be treated differently when it comes to anti homosexual bigotry and anti female oppression. I mean, you go down the line and Islam is given a much greater leeway in terms of media criticism than obviously Christianity or Judaism are.
Oh and since we're bringing up Judaism, missus Ilhan Omar Congressman Omar also had some words to share on Israel that I think raise some eyebrows, to say the least. Plate twenty two. I do want to ask you also about your comments on Israel to remind people what you tweeted about Israel in twenty twelve, during the offensive in Gaza. You wrote, Israel has hypnotized the world. May all awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
You've commented a lot since then trying to explain what you meant by that, and I wonder just what your message is this morning, as the first on our Game Changers series to Jewish Americans who find that deeply offensive. Oh, that's really a regrettable way of expressing that. I don't know how my comments would be offensive to Jewish Americans.
My comments precisely are addressing what was happening doing the Gaza war UM, and I am clearly speaking about the way that the Israelili regime UM was conducting itself in in that war. Hm hm, Israel is hypnotized the world people will awake via Allah to the evil that Israel is doing. I I'm sorry, I'm not buying me. This is just a criticism of the Gaza offensive routine that she's putting up here. But again, just somebody is criticis is highly critical of the state of Israel, and you
might see itself. Okay, well, Israel's a contentious policy choice. But you know, here you have someone who really seems to have a problem with just the state of Israel. And this is becoming increasingly a problem for the left right now because they've elevated some pretty radical left types into Congress and just elevated them the discourse. And there is a hatred of Israel that exists on the left
that is very clear. It's very prominent, and especially hatred of Israel from non white and religious minorities in this country is treated differently. This is how you have Lewis Farakon everybody, Okay, it's just treated differently by the media. Farakon, who remember Obama hugged him when he was running for president, but the press hid that or whatever shook his hand, warmly hid that photo from us intentionally. They told us the photographer later on that he had to hide the photo.
Obama had to kiss Farrakon's ring, But the American people overall weren't supposed to see that. Huh. I don't think that you would find any any Republican of any color or creed who would get away and shouldn't get away with saying the things that Lewis Farrakon has said, referring to being not an anti termite, anti Semite, but anti termite. You know that Ferrikon is just dripping with anti Semitism, and yet the media gives him a pass. Just in general.
Lately they turn up the heat a little bit because people have been pointing this out. But you see this. You see this with the way that they treat the far left on this issue as well. So if you are a far left Democrat who is a Muslim female minority, you are going to get a whole lot more leeway to be anti to say anti gay things, to say anti Semitic things, just go down the line. This is why people don't trust the media, because we know that this is happening. They can deny this as much as
they want. It's as if I had gone on air, or any Republican that you know had gone on air and said anything like, you know, this democrat is only doing this policy that he's doing because he's actually secretly gay, or said anything even close to that. I know she didn't say the words to insinuate that in any way. Oh my gosh, I'd probably never I'll never be allowed to be seen in public again. Notice with those CNN angers though, well, you know you don't have any evidence
for this. Who That's a pretty gentle way of saying, so are you actually a huge biggot? Because you sound like you're being pretty bigoted right now against gay people. That that's kind of what it sounds like. And I you know Dave Ruben over at the Reuben Report, I saw him to He certainly thought this was very anti gay and bizarre. You know, you go down to I'm not the only one, se Cup. My old friend over at CNN, she thought it was anti gay and bizarre,
and I'm not alone here. But different rules, different rules on the left and for preferred, preferred protected categories within the left. But intersectionality always devolves into you know, self consumption of one kind or another. You know that these these different groups that are these identity groups, they're in this unstable hierarchy, and the left is always trying to balance, you know, who do we have to support and who are you willing to sacrifice at any given time. That's
will be interesting to see how it plays out. But there's more of this that comes into play with the Women's March, which is planned tomorrow, not today. I will tell you what I mean in just a moment. Do you feel that the Jewish people are native as well? I mean, I know, I understand the history that you know that there are people who have a number of sort of ideologies around why the Jewish people feel this should be their land. I'm not Jewish, so for me
to speak to that is not fair. If you're willing to say that the Palestinians are native, but not the Jews are native, I mean you're not in Palestinian either, because I'm speaking of the people who we know are being boudole oppressed in this moment. That's just the reality. Is it your view that Israel has a right to exist as a nation? I have said many times that I feel everyone has a right to exist. In your
view does not include israelis in Israel. I believe that all people have the rights to exist, and that Palestinians are also suffering with a great crisis, and that there are all the Jewish scholars who will sit here and say the same. I'm done talking about this. I just don't think it requires scholarly knowledge to be able to say that Israel has a right to exist. Good for Margaret Hoover over at firing line over on BBS, for
pushing I know, Margaret, it's a nice lady pushing. That was Women's March leader Tamika Mallory, who very clearly will not say that Israel has a right to exist, very clear we'll not do it. Won't do it. First of all,
never mind the fact that she should say it. How hard ward it be to just say, you know, how she knows she's she's getting in this in this moment, she's getting heat, she's being you know, being pushed into a corner here, as she should be because of the anti semitism of Linda Sarsore, who's a Women's March founder. You know, Timika Mallory, and Jimika Mallory is somebody who also won't denounce Lewis Farrakon. You know, she will say she won't use his words, or she doesn't use his
he speaks for himself. Well, yeah, that that we all know that. But do you think what he says is okay? You are a leader of a political movement, It is relevant, it is allowable, it is in fact desirable and necessary to ask these questions. And Jamika Mallory sure enough, would not say that Israel has a right to exist. And and this is what I mean about there is this room for anti Semitis them on the left, which is so it's troubling, but it's we also have to really
dig into, you know, why is this the case? And a lot of it is driven by the narrative that Israel is the last colonial outpost of the West in the East. Uh. And and that's how they view the Israeli Palestinian issue. It's taught this way on college campuses. I know all about this. I took classes with anti Israel in many cases anti Israel Jewish professors who actually view the Israeli state as colonial, colonial oppression and even
akin to a a state of apartheid. I mean, I actually study with the professor who would say that it was like apartheid. Um. And and you know, so there's there's these complexities with how why would an American Jew think that and and promulgate that as as a frameworker thinking about Israel. But it's it's on the left, there's this this uh willingness to both be incredibly critical and
destructive in a way one speaks about Israel. And also there's this double standard that comes up for you know, when do you you know, do you have to do? You have to denounce if you're a Republican and you're run for president, you got to denounce David Duke, even though no one cares who this guy is, and you know, no one's heard of him except every Democrat.

But in that moment a movement was born, a movement defined by compassion and love, a movement animated by faith and truth, and a movement that's
been winning hearts and minds every day since. Because of all of you gathered here, all those you represent, and all those who have gone before, we know in our heart of hearts that life is winning in America once again. Vice President Pennce addressing the March for Life, which was today in Washington, DC, hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, coming together to march in favor of the lives of
unborn children. And I will say that my former colleague Matt Walsh pointed out that this march is different from other marches in that this is a march where by definition, everyone who is marching is doing it on behalf of someone who cannot march for themselves. And I think that's that's powerful here. You know, this is a movement, and this is an effort that is about saving lives and is also about the remembrance of all those whose lives have been taken from them because of what is a
a monstrous and deeply wrong policy. You know, I had to sit in rising pretty recently. Some of you might have even seen it on The Hill Show and interview the president of Planned Parenthood, and there were concerns from Planned Parenthood beforehand because I was identified by their PR people as an enemy of choice, which I think is such an interesting phrase, isn't it. Yes, that's right. I want to force people to only have vanilla ice cream, not pistachio ice cream. I mean an enemy of choice.
I mean, obviously that's a ridiculous phrase. Enemy of tru what is that he even mean? Right? Or an opponent of choice? What does that mean? No, I'm an opponent
of the industrial slaughter of unborn children through abortion. And it's it's hard because on the one hand, I like to engage the other side on this one, but more than that, I just want to engage as many people as possible and just as many everyday men and women, and trying to get the message out there that you know, I can tell you I've met people that have had
abortions and they have regretted it. I have yet to meet and in some cases, terribly many cases, I have never met somebody who said, oh, I had that child, or even I had that child and gave him or her up for adoption and it was the biggest mistake of my life. I've just never heard that from any mother. And I've spoken to countless women about this in political life and even in my private life over many, many,
many years. So you know, this is one where this can really this can really count, can really matter, even even the activism of today's March for Life, the activism of all of you who are listening in your lives to convince those around you if somebody's in crisis and they really feel like there and I understand it's scary, and it's there's a lot that goes with the possibility of a well with an unplanned pregnancy or a child that somebody is not they think they're not prepared for.
But choosing life is always the right choice. And I would also like to deal with some of the legal implications ramifications of this, but I wanted to just play for you for a moment here at the March for Life the words of Abby Johnson, who was a former Planned Parenthood clinic director, and here is what she said, Play thirteen. I worked for Planned Parenthood for eight years.
I was told that my job was to double the amounts of abortion, so double our aurtion quota that we had in our clinic, which was troubling to me because I have been told now for all of these years that our goal was to reduce the number of abortions. That here I am being told to double our quota. Then, about a month later, I was asked to help participate in an ultrasound guided abortion procedure, and I watched as a thirteen week old fetus fought and struggled for his
life against the abortion instrument. And I knew then that there was humanity in the womb, and that abortion was taking the life of this innocent human being. And I decided to leave Planned Parenthood. You never hear the other side of this debate, the other side of this of this profoundly important moral argument. You never hear them grapple with the words of someone like an Abby Johnson who has seen it, who knows exactly what she's talking about.
It's always dressed up in this very sterilized language of choice and reproductive rights and women's rights, and it's all about rights and this is what I have a right to do, and what are they really doing? And if it is a medical procedure, I mean, I can tell you this. And this is one of the conversations that I had with the when I was interviewing the Planned parent Whood director. I said, is an abortion really healthcare?
And she said yes, because I know that's and I just wanted to get her on the record, and I tried to press a little more to get but they're never gonna bear. It's that's the president of Planned Parenthood, and it's the it's the heart of darkness. I mean, I she's actually a very pleasant person, unlike her predecessor, who came across as very I don't know, out of I think central casting for what you would think somebody in that role would be a bit a bit cold
and kind of aloof and machiavellianum. And this woman was a was also an MD of the president of the new President of Planned Parenthood, And I just wanted to if I had had the time, and I remember, I have to share my time there with a liberal and there's a whole balancing act I have to do. If I had the time, that I would have asked as well, why is it? And I'll pose this to you just
to air this out. Why is it that if I want to look up pretty much any medical procedure out there online, I can find on YouTube a video of doctors saying I'm doctor so and so, and here's how I do you know, Here's me doing a hip replacement, Here's me removing a tumor, here's me you know, all these different aspects of healthcare. You can watch in detail on the doctors are I mean, not only are there I fine with showing you in the phase. I think
they're they're proud of the important service. You know, I want I want doct who are going to be operating on me one day, Who are the best there is? And are you know, realize how thankful I am that we have the kind of medical services we do. Why is that not the case with Plan parent. Why doesn't Plant parent had have videos just showing the whole procedures so everybody can really know what's going on, because it's
a medical procedure. If it's not scary and it's not bad and it's not immoral, why don't you go to the Plan parented website and say, you know, click here to see you to see what your abortion procedure will look like. Why do they oppose ultrasound in the womb to show people what the fetus in the womb looks like? You know, where are those where are those pieces of information that if this were really healthcare, I think it's quite clear we would all very much be able to
see and to learn more about. But it's not. And you always know, there's a problem when people choose to lie to you, and that's what you have a lot of that going on in this discussion now, which stretches back for decades, I know, but the pro choice side
is lying. And you know, this is also one of those issues where I don't care how popular unpopular people will talk about the polling, and that's only a worthwhile discussion in so far as it shows that more people, the more people realize what these procedures are and how they how they are conducted, I think, the more likely they are to have problems with them and oppose them.
So with knowledge of abortion abortion procedures comes rejection of it as some kind of almost a central right to womanhood, which is really what the left. And you know, the Women's March is going to be happening this week, and I might, I might just to so I can see what's going on. I might venture out there and try to just talk to some of them. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to or not. But for the Women's aren't you you're you're somehow suspect, or rather for yeah,
for the Women's March, you are suspect. If you were part of the Right to Life or March for Life, there's something wrong with you. And that tells you a lot about just how central this is. Also, the abortion is only a tiny part of what planned parent who does For example, they say that that's not that's not true. I mean we all know, because then when you say, well, why don't you do everything else? You know, no, No one opposes really no, there's no serious opposition to any
other aspect of women's healthcare. You know, certainly people want women to get mammograms and you know, STD screening and whatever other services planned parenthood may or may not provide for them. But you know, those are all things that you could do without doing abortions. But they always pretend that it's not it's not a you know, that this is not an important part of what they do, and yet it's the most important part of what they do. And if they were giving out nobody who is fixing
cleft pallets says that they're doing something else. They say, no, we're fixing cleft pallets, and everybody says, well, that's great, you're giving people their lives back. You know, it's an amazing surgery. What they can do. What are American and Western and first world plastic surgeons can do for kids or adults who have cleft pallets, right, it's amazing. They don't have to pretend it's something else. So this is the only area of healthcare where they say it's central.
They say it's important, but we're not allowed to know about it. We're not allowed to talk about it. We can't see it. They don't want there to be real transparency, and they're really vindictive, and we'll talk about this in a moment. They're really vindictive about anybody trying to show
the public what's really going on. They become vengeful the planned parenthood supporters and you know, and look, some of the biggest I'm just gonna say, I'm some of the biggest news anchors out there have family members who are very prominent in the Planned parenthood movement and orders of it. And you know it's the tentacles stretch very far on this, So we'll come back with more on Lets stay with me. The left never has a shortage of things to whine about.

Planned paranoid officials are blasting the decision, saying, as they have all along, that the videos are heavily edited, and they say misleading, deceptive editing that has opened the door to controversy.
The deceptively edited Planned Parenthood video has already been debunked multiple times by a number of different outlets, but that is not going to stop Republicans in the Senate and in the House. A deceptive video from a conservative group purports to show a Planned Parenthood official discussing prices for the legal sale of fetal tissue from abortions. How these videos were edited, Planned Parenthood says that is leading Planned
Parenthood and its supporters to discredit the entire production. That was a big, fat, disgusting, evil lie, one that we dealt with when it was first being leveled when these videos came out, showing these undercover videos showing what was going on with the with the sale of fetal tissue, still the hardest thing that I've ever had to cover and work on as a media analyst. That was the most disturbing thing I've ever seen. That was as as ugly and horrific as anything I've ever had to cover.
And it was all because the Center for Medical I below was the Center for Medical Ethics is what the group was called, went undercover and found what was going on in these Planned Parenthood clinics. Well, now a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has issued a ruling, and this has to do with whether Texas can stript Planned Parenthood
of its Medicaid funding. But the but the ruling makes it very clear that quote Planned Parenthood Associates did indeed circument legal and ethical guidelines in pursuit of harvesting human organs. All of this in direct contradiction of what the so called Women's Health Organization and it's eager defenders and the press claimed after the tapes were released in twenty fifteen. End quote that's from the Washington Examiner. This was the
big line that they were all running around saying. They're saying, oh, it's it's heavily edited, the heavily edited videos. Oh it's also heavily edited. What does that I mean? First of all, any video clip is by definition edited. But what they were doing was creating a pretext for people to dismiss the footage that they were seeing, as though it somehow was the same. That edited became almost synonymous in the
minds of people with doctored. You know, they couldn't say doctored because they would they had no proof of that there was you know that you'd have to actually build the point and say, well, this was. But you know, whenever, if somebody says that video's doctored in part, you can dismiss the whole thing. But they're saying is oh, these videos were edited. All videos are edited that you see
on team maybe all journalism requires edited. So what how is that even a criticism, but it just became the escape hatch in the conversation for people, and it was
just relentlessly pushed in the media. And you know, if you look around, you'll see that some of the biggest and I got to this before, right before the break, when some of the biggest names in liberal media, and by that I just mean the mainstream media are Planned parenthood donors have family members or spouses on the board or formerly on the board of Planned Paradoid in a very very much planned parenthood advocates open advocates for Planned Paradoise,
I mean really really believe in and they're not open advocates for like the local women's health center that doesn't do abortions. Okay, so it's not about women's health. They need to stop lying. But it was interesting that the same week that you have the same with the same twenty four hour period that you have the March for Life happening here in DC, you this Fifth Circuit Court ruling that came down that said these these videos were not not edited in any way. That was that was
showing them to be illegitimate. Um and it was in fact the Fusion GPS firm that's right. The same firm that put together the dossier was the one that came up for the h came up with the unfairly edited line to defend Planned Parenthood. Select I'm sorry, selectively edited. That was always the term, which which is which is a nonsense. It doesn't mean anything. Of course, everything that you see in the news is selectively edited. It's called editing.
You know they're not going to show you the camera, guys, roll before the congressman shows up to the podium. Is that selectively edited? This is this was a complete propaganda trick.
It was. It was absolutely this was disinformation lies. Where or are we just hey to mantras all these different networks, where are they now that a court has looked at all the evidence and a US Federal Court of Appeals as said, there was nothing selectively edited about these videos that anyone would think or could argue discounts the underlying material and the underlying truth to what was going on, which is that tiny babies, tiny babies body parts were
being harvested for sale. That's what Planned Parenthood was doing. Tiny baby body parts harvested to make a profit. That is reality. That is what was going on, and the media tried to cover it up. They tried to cover it up. So you know, we have to remember that there isn't just a There isn't just on the one hand, you know, people of good faith and the other people of that need more understanding on the issue of why
they should support life. There is also an apparatus of evil that is willing to do very terrible things to support this evil practice, and they should be held to account too, in this life or the next. Regardless of whether you think prohibiting abortion is good or whether you think prohibiting abortion is bad. Regardless of how you come out on that, my only point is the Constitution does not say anything about it. It leaves it up to
democratic choice, that is the voice of justice. Antonin Scalia Rest in peace, who had a very clear argument on this point, and it's one that I've even heard liberal jurists and professors agree with, although I'll generally do it somewhat quietly, which is that this notion there's a constitutional right to abortion is just delusional. There's no such thing. It's bad law. Row is bad law. But nonetheless, you got the media very much invested in the narrative of
what they call. Are you productive rights particularly? We're willing in term. But what's going on now with the March for Life? And how is this being covered? Is it being given the attention that it deserves. We're joined by Amber Ephy. She is a Daily Caller White House reporter and you can check out ourself a daily caller dot com. Am. We're great to have you back. Thanks for having me, Buck, So what can you tell me? What was the turnout
like today and what's what's going on? Were you able to go by the way you give me some sense of how the march come off today. Sure, I wasn't able to attend myself, but I did watch some of it on c SPAN. It looks like it was really well attended. This march regularly attracts hundreds of thousands of people. I think last year it was something like three to four hundred thousand, So it's a really huge event. It's
every single year. People are really excited about it, and the thing that I always noticed about the March for Life is that it's overwhelmingly really positive. The people that go are really excited to be there, they're really happy.
They're trying to spread of us as a positivity but you wouldn't know that if you were watching the mainstream media, if you watched CNN at SNBC, they hardly covered it all to begin with, and if they do mention it, it's always painted as these anti abortions, zealous, these you know, bigoted people who want to take away women's reproductive rights.
And the Washington Post ran this headline today, it was their top story about the March for Life on their website, and they insisted that that pro lifers are claim that the science is on their side, but that doctors say that they disagree. But then when you read the piece, you find out, well, actually, it's not that doctors disagree with the notion that life begins at conception or that life begins in the womb. It's just that a lot of doctors happen to be pro choice because they think
women should be able to abort their children. Anyway, So the whole piece was totally bunk. And the coverage of this has always been really skewed, and that's if they cover it at all. I always thought it was interesting that even the late great Christopher Hitchens, who was a rabid atheist, had said, you know, toward the latter years
in his life. I remember hearing him talk about how with additional advances in science, the pro life cause always gets stronger that there has there has never been some new ability that is scientifically based where you say, well, it seems like it's really not a person. Yeah, he's exactly right, because pro lifers have been pointed this out for years that a lot of people in the pro choice movement say that, you know, life begins when a
baby is viable outside of the womb, for example. But if science has progressed, they've been able to keep babies alive outside of the womb at much earlier and earlier stages of the pregnancy, which proves that that's not an objective point of where life begins. That speaks more to scientific ability. Now, I also wanted to ask you about out there witching gears. Here for a second, we're talking to an Amber eighty of the Daily Caller. Amber, what
is this story about Google and family? And they don't like the word family. I mean, today's the March for life. People who tend to be pro life or very pro family as well, those tend to go together. But what is going on at Google when it comes to families? It's really crazy. My friend and colleague Peter Hassen broke
the story. Google was planning some kind of event for its employees and they send an email out telling them that it was going to be family friendly, which of course has the implication that yes, you can bring your kids to the event, your whole family. It's good for everyone.
But apparently some Google employees, and by some I mean close to a hundred who apparently agreed with this sentiment that the worst family is now offensive because it supposedly discriminates against non traditional families, meaning the same sex couples, people who don't have children, or even people who who are unmarried. Single people were offended by this because they didn't think that they were included in this definition of family. It's really amazing what people choose to be outraged and
offended by these days. But I guess I am not surprised that the left wing workers at a big tech firm are the type of perpetually aggrieved people that we would see on a college campus, for example. I find it fascinating that the notion of inclusiveness, right just to be inclusive is elevated on the left as as really a sacro sanked principle. I mean, just inclusiveness is something you'll hear as a justification for a lot of otherwise
seemingly very very strange policies, and we need to be inclusive. Meanwhile, they don't want to be inclusive of people who are pro life, people who are traditional Christians like Mike Pence's wife. You're good on this list, And inclusiveness is a very amorphous and I think very self righteous term for them to use. Yeah, they're inclusive for everything that they happen to agree with, but they're not inclusive across the board.
And this goes right back to the Women's March, which when it first got started, removed pro life groups as sponsors of the event because they said that pro life women can't be feminists, which a lot of pro life women I know personally do identify as feminists. They actually think abortion is really harmful for women, and that's why they identify that way. But that's not apparently one of those things that the left wants to be inclusive about.
And you see this time and time again, the word inclusive is something they used for their own political ends. It doesn't actually mean what it is supposed to mean. To those people, Amber Aithy, everybody, Daily Caller check out her stuff there Daily Caller dot com. Amber, have a great weekend. Thank you for joining us. Thanks do have
a good weekend. Supposedly a bombshell story in BuzzFeed saying that President Trump may have directed his former attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress that, among other allegations, Moscow Tower stuff, a whole bunch of things. I want to get to that, and then also the latest on Bruce Or and what we have found out about the dossier and what was known and when it was known about the dossier. The best person for us, as we know
is miss Kim Strassell. She is the Wall Street Journal editorial board member who comes on here in a fair amount of time. And also the intimidation game is her book, Kim, thank you so much for joining. Hi Buck, So this BuzzFeed story, do you give it credence? Are you concerned? What do you think? Well, first of all, let's talk
about why it supposedly matters so much. And here's why Democrats in particular are excited about it is because a the authors of the piece, the journalists, claim that this accusation is based off texts and emails, so they're no longer in theory going off just the words of Michael Cohen, who is an unreliable guy, but that there's supposedly some evidence here, and secondly, having not got anywhere with their obstruction of justice theories visa mister Trump and his firing
of Jim Comey, this would be their best hook of making an actual charge, an obstruction of justice charge. I think the problem, of course, is that it comes from BuzzFeed um, and even the writer, one of the writers of the piece acknowledge that he hasn't actually seen any of these texts or emails that he cites. He instead quotes some officials. If the crux of this piece is accurate, is this a new level of trouble and and heat
for the presidents in your mind? Well, it's already a new level of trouble and heat, only in that Democrats have seized on it, and members of the House have already said that they're going to investigate it, and you can expect that the White House is going to be getting subpoenas related to this and be demanded to answer questions. And of course the Michael Cohen testimony has now become when it happens next month in the house hasn't become even more it's going to be even more of a circus.
So that's already trouble. I mean, I think the bigger question is one problem with this buga is let's even say there are texts and emails, and I'm not saying there are right, A lot of stories have been very wrong on this, but let's just say the word we don't even know what they say. Do they really direct them to Is that an expansive reading of it? You know, did the Trumps they do what you need to do to make something happen here or here? And did they take that to mean in order? I mean, we just
don't know what we're talking about. And one can assume though, that because they're saying that there is documentary evidence to be presented here and that Muller must have it, that at some point we will get some verification of this. Do you think it's fair to say, I mean, Kim,
you work at the Wall Street Journal. If if BuzzFeed turns out to have been ahead of its skis on this one, have they burned whatever credibility The Internet's favorite cat video site has got Well, yeah, they've already got problems, I think with that credibility issue anyway. But I think, look, but I think at the end of this, when we finally do get a Muller report, and assuming it actually provides some answers, this is going to have to be a lot of journalists and answer for a lot of
things that have been written, and politicians too. I mean, you know, don't forget two years ago we had Adam Shipps saying that his committee had proved that Trump had engaged in collusion. We've never seen that, and there we have certainly don't have any evidence of it. So I think one thing that I think would be very healthy for democracy is when this is done, that people go back and re examine some of these claims that remain and media organizations be held to account. Now, let's talk
about Bruce Or and the latest. I know you wrote about this in the Wall Street journal I think this past week, what have we found out about Bruce Or and how does it factor into all the nonsense around the origins of the Russia collusion investigation. Right, So, this
is exactly what it deals with. It deals with the infamous dossier and the FBI's origin story, because remember, the FBI has tried very very hard to leave the impression that this counterintelligence investigation that it began in July of twenty sixteen was based on Papadopolis conversations in London, had nothing to do with this dossier because they always understood that dossier was a liability and they let everyone think
and spread it out to their media palsies. They didn't even have that dossia and his September and so therefore it couldn't have played a role. What Bruce Orr told Congress last August is in fact, he had a meeting with the dossier author, Christopher's Deal on July thirtieth of twenty sixteen, and immediately went and told the Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe Lisa Paige, and in the month of August also breaved to FBI team and members of the
Department of Justice. So they knew about it at a route in the time that they were setting up their counterintelligence investigation. So, you know, when do we actually get somebody to come out and admit that this is you know,
what's it going to take? You think, Kim before they'll say that the usage of opposition research at the top of the FBI for the purposes of getting a FIZER warrant on a US citizen who, by the way, as you know Kim still has not ever even been charged with a crime in the case of Carter Page, and who has spoken liberally and at length to the Special Council without lawyers, which I just find stunning. When do people care? When do journalists start to care about that?
I thought they were supposed to be all about civil liberties and the rights that we have to not be spied on by the state. Oh do you remember, not so very long ago, Buck, Certainly in the time you and I have been in this business, democrats being so concerned with abuse and the government spying on American citizens. If they said we needed an ombudsman to handle all of those FISA requests, you know, I think I'm maybe joining them in that view. It's too bad they don't
hold it anymore, or no one in the media. And you know, look, we can never expect the people within the FBI and the DOJ who were part of this whole plan to ever admit their own wrongdoing. Okay, there's too much of an institutional pride of bias to acknowledge that. But then the only way you ever get to the bottom of this is to have an adversarial press that actually challenges. Instead, most of the press is just serving as a scribe to whatever preferred narrative behind DJ spoon
feed them. And it's it's mesmerizing to me as a journalist to watch it happens. It's extraordinary. I've never seen anything quite like it. I just remember how much how much difficulty there was even at the Intelligence Division of
the NYPD when I was working there. We were trying to do surveillance that was all documented and legal and based on a criminal predicate or based on reasonable suspicion of people that were trying to blow up subway cars, and there was outrage about the civil liberties implications and how could it Meanwhile, you know, if you're running around with with anyone from the Trunk campaign, apparently we can just have the federal government pull all of your emails
and phone calls and you know, no big deal, no, And that is generally their attitude. And you know, I always like to, and I'm sure you do this mental exercise sometimes too, is project back and imagine what this would all be like if, for in this have been a Bush administration pulling this kind of stunt on an incoming Obama administration. Um, you know we'd still be hearing about it today ten years later, but they don't. Look.
I think there's a lot of it. The FBI needs to be held to account, the DOJ needs to be held to account. I'm I'm also appalled that you don't see anyone in the press community asking defies the court for any answers, asking why the fis the court hasn't called the DOJ back in to account for its actions, explain exactly why they weren't provided all of the information, because you know, courts traditionally do not like to be duped. This is an Article three court, like any over any other.
It has the power to demand the prosecutors who come in front of it explain themselves. And as so far as we know now, maybe we wouldn't because it's quite a secret of court. They haven't demand they haven't demanded any answers. I'm just wondering when we when we will get some answers here? And do you have it? Just before we let you go, Kim, do you have a theorist?
Why Trump hasn't declassified some of the information about the FISA, or about the FISA specifically and just Russia investigation origin stuff more generally. Because I'm befouled, I asked the President. He said he was going to do it, and then
he didn't do it. Yeah, well he went down that road, and then he got obviously mau maued by a lot of people, including his own Intelligence Committee intelligence officials, which I think is really unfortunate, saying well, you know, he can't do this, and you got to let the Inspector General take a look at it. And I worry that that process is going to result in a lot of redactions that are still going to deny us information we need.
But I think that unfortunately, the President is being advised by people that it would be best to wait and tell Special Counsel Bob Muller completes his investigation so that he cannot in any way be accused of having engaged in further obstruction of that probe. I find that a very bogus argument, because this is transparent. Yeah, transparency is is not meddling, night Right. Putting more information out is
not obstruction. It's one of the duties of government officials, especially because this is all going to come out to politics. Everybody follow Kim Strassel on Twitter if you're not already. Also look for her pieces on the Wall Street Journal. The one and only Kim Strassell. Thank you so much. Thanks back. When do you want to spot that burglar
when he's casing your home or after he's in? Well, ask John who's Blink camera alerted him to burglars trying to break in while he and his family were home, or Shannon, who's Blink camera caught a thief stealing packages. Both times, Blink video clips were sent to police to help convict the crooks.

You don't want that? VI is it blink

Right now, there's a question then a sizeable chunk of America whether Donald Trump is is working on behalf of Russia. Whose side is a president on a Russia's side on our or our side? Basically Putin's lines, he wants to give Russia every item
on its most fantastical international wish list. Putin now has a president of the United States who performs backflips on command. He has some special relationship with them and has not made public, and I think he's fearful that President Putin probably has information I'm now. Look, I know from our trips to Russia, everything you do and say is being
listened to and is being followed. But I do know from intelligence community personnel that I've talked to that there is huge credibility within the Intel community to the so called Steele Dosier and to many of that. There's just so much bs that you have to deal with the moment you start talking about Russia collusion and what's going
on with it and all this stuff. I love how you had Scarborough, who remember, and don't forget this, Scarborough was chummy to the max with Trump when he thought that it was good access for him as a TV personality to do so right, he was buddy buddy with Trump until all of a sudden Trump didn't like him anymore, and then he became mister never Trumper extraordinaire. That's that's just petty. I mean, that's just personal vendetta stuff. It has nothing to do with what's good for the country.
But Scarborough says, there, oh, you know, I really think that there are a lot of people with questions. They have these questions because the media keeps asking the questions. Right.
If you hear all the time, well, as so and so beating his wife, you would think if enough people in the media say well so and so might be beating his wife, you might think, hey, hold on a second, so that's what's going on here, And yet they they use right there, this is like stocking the pond and then fishing from the pond and being like, I didn't know they were a fish here. It's like no, of
course there are. You're putting the fish there, You're putting the questions out there, which reminds me I haven't been fishing in a while. It sounds like fun. But this this whole thing with John Kerrett and these other people where they get into how Trump may be compromised, right, And this is where you get all these people who also all of a sudden are using words like compromat and disinformatzia and all this stuff. You know, they've learned
a few of these Russian intel buzzwords. They use them all the time without understanding think about what they're really suggesting that Trump and you at Rachel matt All, I mean, this is the These are the biggest, some of them names on the left. These are huge platforms where people are just spreading lies and nonsense and gossip as though it's fact, and never going back to fact check the
nonsense gossip when it's proven that it wasn't true. How many retractions have you seen from The Guardian, for example, on their story that Manafort met with Julian Assange and the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Guess what, That's not possible, meaning that it's not possible that Manafort did that, and there's not a clear record of it, and people wouldn't know. Nobody would get in or out of that embassy, the embassy where currently Julian Assange is evading justice. Nobody would
get or evading the authorities. Whether you believe Osange is a good guy or not, or he's a journalist or not. Lead that conversation to another time, but without a clear record of it that would be verifiable one way or the other. This now is just something that people say. It's become a fashion. It's become almost a social convention. Oh yeah, Trump Russia, you know he's doing Russia's bidding.
How is he doing Russia's bidding? Well, well, first let's get to how they think that Russia would even make him do that by what exactly, By the promise of Trump Tower Moscow. Trump's already really rich. I would note that even if this BuzzFeed story is true, there is nothing in it that we can point to in terms of the possible Trump Tower Russia or Trump Moscow building that's illegal. There's nothing about the business approach that is illegal.
You might say it's unseemingly, but I'm not going to take lectures about unseemly presidential candidates, an unseeingly president from the people who thought that Hillary Clinton and her husband are worth one hundred million dollars off of speeches. Folks, speeches, think about that, no one's speeches. I'm in this business. I know what people get paid for speeches. By the way, if you want to hire Bucks Exon for a speech sometime, just reach out to me on Facebook. But no one
is worth eight hundred thousand dollars for speech. And I mean that, no one you pay eight hundred thousand dollars for a speech, which is what Clinton got from a Russian government linked bank because they were trying to buy influence and access that Clintons were for sale, both of them.
We know this. So you know, while while I'm not going to stand here and tell you that I think that every time that Donald Trump is engaged in a business transaction, he's just being as as pure as the driven snow here, but I also think that what's the standard. And you have this insane looney left that is trying to say that they have info on Trump, Well, what could that info even be? They've tried this whole porn star blackmail thing. I mean, how do you This is
the real question. I mean, this is one I'm trying to get you. How do you blackmail Donald Trump? Really think about that one for a moment. What would you have to have on Trump? I mean, you would have to have not a little bit of what hard, hard knuckle real estate tactics come on a little bit of coloring outside the lines on getting permission to build something somewhere. You think you think you're gonna blackmail Donald Trump over that. This is a guy who had a lawyer's making payouts
to porn stars. Whether you think he had the affair or not, he had got a blackmail him over this and just the whole bizarre you know, Golden Shower, Dossie, I think, but all of it, it's just these people have lost their minds, and then they take it the step even further where it's all about NATO. Look, this is the kind of stuff Trump says about NATO playclip nine. We cannot be the fools for others. We're going to be with NATO one. But as I told the countries,
you have to step up. You have to pay minimum numbers. Actually that they set a two percent goal. Very few pay that that they should be much higher than that. Look at what we pay, it's massively higher than that. Countries are now stepping up and they can well afford to. Trump is advocating for NATO countries to spend more money on their defense, which, at least in theory under the NATO, under NATO's found in charter, it's supposed to be about
dealing with then Soviet Now I guess Russian aggression. So Trump says, I want our European partners paying more, which means a bigger millie. He wants them to have bigger militaries, and that's doing Putin's bidding. We have to hear from idiots like this guy, Congressman Meeks about play clip ten. He is a guy that I would believe that if you talk to him three or four years before running for president, he probably didn't even know what NATO is.
But but now you know, he has devalued NATO and the EU to such a degree that it is plausible to me that he would have had this back to a conversation with batter Putin about to withdraw from NATO more. But this is from a congressman more Putin theorized based on what nothing think enough, he's saying space, he wants our NATO Allens has spend more money on their defense, which is a which is hugely problematic if you're putin and you're thinking about aggression in the near future. But
now they're going to say that. You know, these are just conspiracies, folks. Is all Russia conspiracies stuff, It really is. But they're not going to stop, so we have to keep fighting back. We have no choice. I'd rather focus on ways to make the country stronger and better, but they want to just get into this Russia lunacy. Look, the AARP is pretty well known, and you or somebody
you know might already be a member of it. But did you already know that the AARP is a pretty left wing organization, all about government control of healthcare and higher taxes for the middle class and just bigger government
in general. Well that's why I recommend AMAC. Why AMAC. Well, you see, AMAC is all about getting you all the value from AARP, So it gets you all the stuff like car insurance, hotel roadside assistance, dental plan, even cell phone service discounts and options, lots of benefits for you. But AMAC is actually about conservatism and patriotism. Okay, join the AMAC Conservative Alternative, stand with them in this fight. Become a member today. The benefits are great. That causes
even greater. Tell your family, tell your friends, join right now at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's AMAC dot us slash buck. AMAC is better, better for you, better for America. I generally it don't find there to be a lot of life wisdom for any of us from entertainment celebrities, although I will say that of the people in the entertainment world that are at least worth listening to in terms of the bumps and bruises they've gotten
along the way, comedians comedians certainly have it rough. I mean, it is a tough thing to try and be a working comedian. It is a very difficult progression to get to a place where you're actually even making a living, never mind being somebody who is as famous as Conan O'Brien. But I saw this interview in the New York Times about how Conan O'Brien is, and this will make sense
in a second. Why I'm telling you this, Conor O'Brien is scaling back his show from an hour to thirty minutes he's doing a podcast, He's trying all these different mediums. He's switching things around, and I like this because I'm somebody who also is trying different things, done a little bit of podcast here and there. Obviously, this show is also able to be listened as a podcast, but it's really a traditional radio show. But I done some other podcasts and done some other work on digital TV and
all these different things. And you know, a part of it is that you have to do what is true for you. You know what your day to day is going to be, what you want your life to be like, and no one's going to do that for you. And I think Colon O'Brien's kind of recognize that and for all of us, whether you're in entertainment or I'm sure the vast majority have real jobs and are not an entertainment.
I think there's some pretty interesting advice that he not even advice, just some some insight in this interview that he has. So this is a New York Times interview with Conan O'Brien about all the changes and how his show is getting shorter, and how he's doing all these different digital plays and digital opportunities. Here's what he said, is this how you want to go out with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it's gone. Colin responds, maybe that's okay. I think you have more of a
problem with it than I do. At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand twenty one gun salute and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button. I'm shot up into the air and there's an explosion, and it's orange and it spells goodnight and God love. In this culture, two years later, it's going to be who's coning. This is going to sound grim, but eventually all our graves go unattended. That is pretty grim for
a comedian, I have to say. But I can appreciate something of the sentiment here, which is that entertainment is just that, and people also, I think, make a much bigger deal out of all of us have much too much of our own value is tied in with our career, whatever that may be, And particularly for people who were in the public eye, there's a sense that if you weren't still doing this job, you would cease to exist.
I see this all the time in the media business, in the news business, where there are people who clearly would be better off tending more to their family and just getting emotionally and spiritually healthy. You know, they've been doing this for twenty or thirty years, but they really think that all the clocks will stop if they step away from it. You know, all of life as we know it will come to a halt if they're not the one presenting the news at seven o'clock every night.
It's not true. It's the same thing with entertainers. There are plenty of other people who can do it. I know that most entertainers would say they do it because they love it. Look, I love this job, but there's always something more important than your job. It's what I'm trying to get at it. I think there's a necessary perspective, and especially in our current culture where everyone's engaging I
mean self promotion. Now it doesn't matter if you're selling t Cozy's online or if you're trying to be a TV host, self promotion photos, all this stuff. We're just surrounded with it all the time, and it does I think for some existential questions where we say to ourselves, you know, what is this really even all about. Sure, I'm all for capitalism and having a growing business, and you've got to be involved in a business and not
a hobby when you're talking about your professional stuff. I get that, but there's also a context for it, there's a necessary perspective. Conan goes onto this interview and by the way, the interviewer said the same thing that I or had to say, I'm feeling, and I did, which is your right? That does sound grim. Then Conan said this quote, Well, sorry, but Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I've been to his grave in Vermont. It
has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I'm the only late night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge's grave. I think that's what separates me from the other hosts. I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time. I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late night shows. They get lost, they're never seen again, and who cares. And he looked at me and he said,
what are you talking about? None of it matters, None of it matters. No that's the secret. In nineteen forty, people said Clark Gable is the face of the twentieth century. Who the blank thinks about Clark Gable doesn't matter. You'll be forgotten, I'll be forgotten, We'll all be forgotten. It's so funny because you'd think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that. I understand what he's
going for here. First of all, Calvin Coolidge is the prototype of what an American president should be, which is a guy who just does the job without a ton of fanfare and doesn't mess things up for people, and it's just there to do a job, not there to be some deity, not there to try to pretend that he's going to solve everybody's problems or that he's going to make all the bad things in the world go away. Just a guy doing a job. I do wish we could get back to that, less cult like and less
celebrity obsessed, not just presidency but culture overall. But that's where I would come in here and say he's right, meaning Conan is right, Albert Brooks was right. None of this really matters in a profound, long term sense. You know your job, who whatever you do whatever your job is. You're listening to this across the country. It doesn't really matter. Sure, you've got to put food on the table for you
and your family. It has purpose, but we have to derive and this gets into some of the conversation around the Tucker Carlson monologue recently. We have to find purpose beyond just our work and our labor and our careers. And that's where you get into how it's actually the stuff that many of us think of as what's around our jobs, what is sometimes even in the way of
our jobs that really matters. It's your family. It's your spouse, kids, your brothers and sisters, mom and dad, aunt's, uncle's cousins, all the rest of it. It's your friends. It's how you treat people. It's how you make people feel around you every day. It's the small contributions you make to putting those around you more at ease with how you treat them and how you act. And that is professionally and personally. That's the only stuff in a way that really matters in a day to day sense. And then
also obviously your relationship with God. And that's what I meant about spiritual health. Before that all matters whether you're doing an hour show or a thirty minute show or any of that stuff. It's just at the end of the day or at the end of all of our days, no one is really going to remember all that. And I think that now more than ever before, there is a sense that we can achieve a kind of immortality through the success whatever, however you define that, the success
of what it is that you're doing. And really it's more about the success of how you've been as a person. What are you really like? What do you value? What have you done for those around you? Have you served the people around you? Have you served a purpose for them? Does your life have a meaning that is positive at the end of the day, and that is not measured in dollars or ratings or any of that other or
social media you know, Twitter, following, Instagram following. That is all incredibly transient, and I think it's becoming even more transient as time passes. People are realizing that clicks and likes and shares, all this stuff is in the end meaningless.
And there's also a freedom that comes from this to know what doesn't really matter, is to know what you don't have to worry about and that's why I know this this little little segment where Color O'Brien was just saying, whether I do a thirty minute show an hour show, or whether I'm the best comedian in the country or no one knows who I am, That's not what is really important. And I do think there's also a conversation
about each and every one of us. Part of our purpose is to find our purpose and to understand what is important for you in your life. But all right, enough of the enough of the spiritual talk. I've got a quick news store I wanted to hit with you, and then we will get two roll calls. Stay right there. Here's a story that I think is a pretty good one to get ready for a weekend with. Here. This is pretty incredible. This was reported on by the in the UK by the Mirror. So there was this al
Shabab terror attack that that just happened. What was a few days ago where you had Al Shabab, which is an al Qaeda linked group in Somalia. It's basically the jihadest entity of Somalia and it has engaged in some very high profile terror attacks in the past and neighboring Kenya, well, it turns out there was a one of these attacks at a hotel in Kenya. Altrabab attacks was going on and this whole hotel complex killed fourteen people, including a
British charity worker. So terrible this this attack that went on and you took a lot of a lot of innocent people brutally murdered. Horrific stuff. One part of the story though, that I just found out today is that there was a British SAS, which is their equivalent of essentially a Tier one military unit like the like Seal Team six or the Delta or Delta Force. British SAS counter terrorism trainer just happened to be out on a personal shopping trip, you know, just go get i don't know,
food or clothing whatever needed. Happened to be nearby and he heard what was going on when they were storming this hotel, heard the gunfire, he sprinted to his car. He had his counter terror training equipment in the car, so he got all geared up and went in there and went, you know, room clearing in this hotel to
get people out. And it's a pretty amazing story. I mean, it really is like the plot of Under Siege or you know, die Hard or one of these movies where there's one person who just happens to be the one right guy at the time to intervene when a terrible terrorists act like this is under way. So I'm assuming that we're going to find out more information about this that this sas terror trainer. I mean, there's photos of him.
They've blurred his face, but he's evacuating people out. I mean, and he is just completely he's all geared up and he's going in there. You know, he told the local police to wait. I mean, he's smart. He knows that friendly fire blue on blue here is one of the biggest problems a guy like him would have to be on the lookout for, other than the highly armed, you know, a K forty seven wielding terrorists that were inside. So a pretty amazing story and just goes to show you
you never know. You just never know when For those of you and I know other people listening to this who have elite law enforced and military training, you never know when it's gonna be go time. And this guy, we don't. I don't even think we know his I don't think they released his name, so he's they certainly are not showing his face. Yeah, they didn't release his name either. Pretty remarkable though, reporting here out of the UK Mirror. Never know when it's going to be your
time to step in and save some lives. Roll Call is up next, Rock and roll fellow page, time to spread some freedom coast to coast. It's time for Roll Call. So I hear Raheem did a great job last night on the show. That always makes me very happy. As you know, I have the let's get the best guest host we can philosophy in play, so we go to Raheem and Harlan and others because we want to make sure every night you tune into this show you have
a fantastic listening experience. All right, man, I cannot wait for this weekend. I got a long weekend actually, although I don't even know, Hey, producer, Mike, are we on radio? Are we on radio Monday or not? That's probably something that I should find out, because you know, I'm the host and all that good stuff, so that's important. That's your home. Are you too good for your home? To me?
Facebook dot com, slash buck sex if you want to get in on this, by the way, I want to let you know if you don't have it, you can download the iHeart app onto your phone for free, and there is in fact a Buck Sexton twenty four to seven option. Now, as amazing as it may sound, that doesn't mean you have to listen to me twenty four to seven. It just means that at any point in your busy day, your schedule, you can just go to
the iHeart app and listen that way. So if you ever feel like you've missed out on your local station or you didn't download the podcast you got Wi Fi, you can just go on the iHeart app. Otherwise, iTunes is a great place to download the podcast. And with that, TJ my man. TJ has a shield Tige T shirt in his profile photo, so he has a special place in Team Buck's heart. Buck, how do you get swindled in sharing that got awful parody music video about the
shutdown this morning? On Rising? That was awful? You really need to chew out the producers there you haven't already. I know you said it, but nine thousand views is not exactly going viral. Also, in regards to Cardi B, didn't she have a video not too long ago complaining about paying taxes? I'm guessing if she didn't have to pay taxes during government shutdown, she'd be changing her tune pretty quick. I'm all for not paying taxes during a
government shutdown. PS. I don't know about Cardi B's tax policies. I do know that that video, the parody video, sucked and was not something that I think we should have put on air on Rising. But I don't get to make all the decisions there. One of the reasons I love radio so much is I do get to make
the decisions here. This is this is pure, unfiltered, unadulterated buck tasticness here, unlike on the TV, TV is always more collaborative in general, but especially when you're doing a left right show and some other stuff like that, you need to You needed to loot the buck a little bit, which is not the way I like to do things. Jen writes, Buck, Happy New Year. Two things look up Paul check a holistic health guy, Superjack fifty five years old,
common sense health and fitness stuff. And secondly, how is miss Molly. I hope you two are still together. I've not heard you speak of her of late. Happy Friday, Shields high Jen, Jen, Miss Molly's fine she's just traveling for work right now. She's away for a few for a few weeks, sometimes she has to go. She works in the fashion industry, and so she has to go on these essentially road shows where she meets with different clients and different buyers all around the country and sometimes
even overseas. So miss Molly's great. I will tell her the team was asking for her. And as for this guy, Paul Check, I will check him out. So there you have wra Sorry, and it's late on a Friday. You gotta give me a little leeway here to let some some bad ones. Let some bad ones fly occasion. Occasionally it's gonna happen, now, simcha right, Dear Zvi gabye A rough translation of buck Sexton into Hebrew. This photo is from my car as I drive from the suburb where
I live into Jerusalem for work. Years ago, this highway was a target for rock attacks or shootings. It's been safe for a while because walls work and because we hear in Israel know how to keep our shields high. All the best, Sam, Well, Sam. First of all, thank you for telling me my Hebrew name ZV. You can always write hey V and I'll know who you're talking about now. As to walls working, yes, I mean that's
what I was. I didn't learn it this week. I just had it reinforced this week by all these different members of border patrol who just can't imagine how all these talking heads and all these so called experts on different things and go on TV and just be so foolish when they talk about walls. I mean, walls obviously work and are very effective as a form of protection
and security and border separation. And you in Israel have shown the whole world this Israel was in I remember back in two thousand and one, two thousand and two, is in really rough shape with all the suicide bombings that were happening and the infiltration of these different hamass operative operatives and you know, all the Cassam brigades and Al Kood's and all this different stuff that was going on.
So yeah, I'm glad it worked for Israel obviously, and I hope we have learned from Israel's lesson, although the Democrats certainly haven't. Julie Rights, hey back, I'm sorry. I want to know why illegal immigrants are allowed to have their children while US citizens are losing custody rights based on a disability. Your show is great, Thank you, Julie. I don't know about this US citizens losing custody question
over disabilities, so I'd have to ask about that. I will say that, you know one part of the and thank you for saying my show is great. I appreciate that. One part of the child separation discussion that does not get enough focus is that children are separated from parents in this country without anyone being convicted of a crime all the time. And that's with citizens. Children are separated from parents if there's if there's a credible reason to
believe there's abuse, I mean child services. Child services don't show up and say, oh, you haven't been convicted of felony abuse, We're just going to leave the kid here. Child services can and do take children away from people based upon a feeling that they need to protect them from possible child abuse or to you know, make sure they don't suffer continued child abuse. So that does happen in this country, and you do not get much discussion of it. Rocky rights. Netflix should have taken a cue
from the Dems. Have some one of the companies say they want to raise your rates fifty percent. All the customers freak. Then cooler heads prevail. They appear to chastise the person they only raise a reasonable sum. Customers let out a sigh of relief. Well, Rocky, that's an interesting approach for sure. Steve Wright Shield's high buck. My name is Steve. I'm a truck driver and this may sound weird, but you're in my cab every night. Lol. I love your show. I enjoy it. A little over a week ago,
you mentioned a Sasquatch movie. Do you remember the name? I can't find it. This is the first time I send anyone a message outside of friends and family. I'm sending this note, but thanks for all the information. You're very good at what you do. It'd be great to hear you back when you are back from California. Stay safe, Steve, Well, Steve meant. It is my honor and it is a privilege to keep you company while you are engaged in the very necessary transport of goods. My friend, you are
a soldier of capitalism out there on the highways. So thank you for what you do, and stay safe on the road. As to the movie, yes, it was called Primal Rage. And now let me say that it is very graphic. Okay, so do not repeat, do not try to watch this one with the kids, or let any kids watch it. There is a scene in the movie that is about as graphic as some of the stuff you see in the hills have eyes. So for those of you who know what I'm talking about, it was disturbing.
That said, if you're an adult, if you're eighteen plus and you want to see it's really a Sasquatch horror movie. It's not a Sasquatch thriller movie because there's a lot of gore and violence, and I will say the acting from the human beings is pretty terrible, but it's well, it's well shot. They film it the right place in the Pacific Northwest. The backdrops look cool, and the Sasquatch is really scary. So you know, I think I think it's worth a watch. But just remember I told you
it is very violent. I mean, like stomach curdling violent. And it also has at least one scene of violence that I was like, come on, you can't do, you can't do, can't show that. I just think that there's room for a great Sasquatch movie out there that's a little less heavy handed on the gore and a little more into the backstory of the Squatch and and all that stuff. So I enjoyed it, but I was in the mood to watch I just, you know, sometimes you just want to watch a certain kind of movie on
a certain kind of night. It was a cold, snowy night here in DC, and man, I just wanted to watch some Squatch. So Steven, thanks so much for writing in Michael rides. Please compare contrast AOC's run train comment and Trump's Access Hollywood remark. Okay, Michael, I did not previously get into this run train remarks. It's a very it's a very graphic one for people who know what it is. It is a reference to essentially a group sex. And I don't even know what the specifics are other
than I know that it's something like that. And AOC said this, I think that it maybe has multiple meetings. You know, it can be used for he said, for different things. For example, you know what I'm even gonna say, But there's certain things like there's certain foods that I've eaten recently that I have only later found out or
also can be a very dirty sexual reference. But it's a real food but people, and some of you will know what I'm talking about here, and some of you I don't want to get into it, you know, I keep the show clean. I'm just saying AOC's run train comment was very, very strange, and I don't really know what she was going for there. But I'm also not that well versed in the millennial urban vernacular of the day. That maybe the nerdiest thing I've ever said on radio.
But it's true. I'm not in the nineties. Man. I could tell you I got all the nineties. I had all the nineties slang, which, by the way, it was not limited to any one community. It was really the pop culture youth. We're all saying, you know, that's you know yo, that's dope, that's ill, that's fat, that's all all these different things that now if I said them out loud, some of you would start chuckling at me. But this is the way that people talked when I
was growing up. You know that that guy's such a player. Oh that's so, that's so dope. Oh that's ill, that's that's the ill, na, na, that's you know, what's up? Home slice? People say at home slice. I've said it a couple of times on the show that no one says it anymore. What's up Homie? People who say what's up Homie all the time? You know the languages, so I don't know how the kids talk. Now. I'm getting too I'm getting I'm getting close to forty, I'm getting
to school. I'm getting too old for that stuff. Let's see here, Rita rights oh Man, Steve King is my rep Why talk to the New York Times at all? And why try to have a theoretical discussion with the enemy. Don't talk about anything to the New York Times. No one makes any effort to understand what Steve meant? Why is Western civilization now evil? Not? How to understand if you aren't determined to find wrongdoing. He's taken his lungs, but his career may be ruined, but he is not
a racist. She'll tie from Rita. Well, Rita, they certainly he said some things that I think we're unwise, and perhaps you could honestly describe as as racist. Honestly, he's also said some things, though, that have been called racist, that I think are not fairly called racist. So we have to talk about the specific comments. But I do
think you're onto something. When you say why, try to have a theoretical discussion with the other side, meaning the New York Times on this, because they are just looking to jam him up.
