Trump Causes Media Meltdown with One Question

you've been waiting for all day. The Buck Sexton Show too, in the conversation called Buck toll free at eight four four nine hundred Buck, that's eight four four nine hundred to eight to five the future of talk radio, Buck Sexton, Good evening. The President of United States is tired of so many black people coming to this country, tired of immigrants from Haiti in Africa being allowed in quote, why are we having all these people from the whole country

has come here? The President said today the White House, this meeting behind closed doors, in which the President referred to countries like Haitian countries in Africa as a whole. Donald Trump has shown us his dark heart, has shown us his racism. But we cannot normalize the fact that Donald Trump has turned the Oval Office into our into a morally bankrupt place. Where there are lies and division

and racism that comes out every single day. Apologize for using this word here, but this is quote from the president. Why are we having all these people from the whole countries come here? I'm a proud holder. My family was called macar leaders. We came from Italians and Irish who were regarded as people from whole countries a century ago.

We call people slant eyes Chinese immigrants that were now ashamed of speaking about in those terms because they came from a whole country and now they're a backbone of this country. Welcome to the Book Sexes Show, everybody. It has been quite a quite a twenty four hour period here in the news cycle that was just we could have probably done a whole show of just playing audio

of people cursing on TV. And reference to this statement that the President says he used different words, but that the overall sense that he was criticizing the immigration deal as opposed to him was true, and that he did call out some some countries specifically. You've got others weighing in on this. What Senator Durban was in that meeting. We'll talk a bit more about about him and about what's going on with this whole situation which is completely

consuming the anti I mean, the anti Trump media. This is all they're talking about. I've never seen so much profanity in mainstream news. I've never seen so much, so many people who were racing to use a four letter word as often as they possibly could. And here we are. You have journalists, so so called journalists, I don't know, they're sometimes really pundits who are posing as journalists, who are just straight up saying the president is a racist.

Here's one of them. This is Samon tonight. I'm Don Lemon. The President of the United States is racist. And that was a sentiment echoed by many different shows, many different anti Trump media members. I think that this is a very a very interesting point in the immigration discussion, because, as I've been saying to you, uh Trump, Trump knows that he can't betray his base on this, and Trump knows that the movement of Trump is um essentially falls apart.

If there's no wall, if there's no immigration enforcement, and if there's amnesty, it's all over. I mean at that point, I don't know how anybody sure. The economy is is doing pretty well for now, and people would point to that and there's some other but yeah, that's pretty mainstream stuff what you've seen so far from Trump in terms of republican Republican policy preferences and tax cuts, deregulation. I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't think now a

president Rubio or Cruise or heaven forbid Ka sick. I mean, I don't think any of them could have won. But had they won, yeah, they'd also pushed for for tax uts and and would be doing some of this as well. But what was different about Trump was the immigration issue. And here we are now in the midst of a discussion about it where they're just saying he's a racist, which is really a reflection of how the left takes

this issue, how they describe this issue. Uh, and and they're primary debate point, if you will, all throughout, which is that opposition to immigration is inherently racist, that that's the only reason that people might be concerned about the vast numbers of illegal immigrants in particular, but also there's been a tremendous influx of legal immigrants of the last forty or fifty years or so, including from countries with very disparate cultures from what we would call uh, well,

different cultures from ours and different even from Western civilization, and we would like to have an open and an honest discuss about what that means for the country. You know. One part of this, as many of you know, listen to the show I I I love history and and and every time I find myself reading a history book, it's just kind of a reminder of how many other

history books I want to read. Write. The more you learn about your our history, the more you want to know, and the more you realize you have to set aside time to just begin to catch up on some of these issues. But one thing that is true is that a country that loses its sense of ideological cohesion is

headed for very dangerous times. And the history of a more the history of a multi confessional, multi ideological, multi national melting pot or mixing pot or whatever you want to call it throughout the world has actually been generally pretty tough. It is not a formula for continued stability. Now in the American context, people would point out they would say, hey, we are a country that takes people from all over the world and they become great Americans.

And that is true. But assimilation is a process and assimilation also requires a certain degree of buying from the people coming to the country in the first place. And if the first thing that immigrants are taught, for example, is break the law, there will be no consequences. And oh, by the way, America owes you something. America should be doing more for you, even though you came here and your first act on us soil was to break the law.

I don't think that makes for future immigration policy, and I don't think that makes for a future of this country that's particularly right. I think it's going to be full of all kinds of conflict and uh, the dissolution of of our polity. As they would say in a political science class, right, our political union or political entity. It is all just an idea. Right, countries are all

a fiction. And what you are forced to deal with when you look at the issue of immigration as Democrats propose it right now, if you really get down to it, on what grounds can we tell anyone they can't come to this country? The Democrat Party has either intentionally or just slowly morphed over time into a party that refuses to privilege the interests of citizens and Americans over anybody else. If that other person is a prospective Democrat voter. And

that's what this all comes down to. It's just about votes in power for Democrats. What it does to the country, what it does to the debt, the economy, to our the shared bonds of our history and our culture in this country, Democrats don't care. They simply do not care. And a lot of us look at what's going on in Europe where there are substantial problems that are very recent in the making, with large immigrant populations who do not adopt the culture, do not adopt the legal system,

they rejected, they do not learn the language. Now I'm not saying all of them, but enough that it is a destabilizing force within that society. Germany, Sweden, you go through, there's a bunch of different countries you can look at. And this is a problem, by the way, is only going to increase over time. And what is the answer that Democrats have for this? Who do the Democrats say can't come into the country. Uh, it's not clear to me that they believe there's anyone who shouldn't be able

to come into this country. And keep in mind that only half the country pays income taxes. A lot of people are in the country already who are not economically contributing to the to the greater good. A lot of illegal immigrants are in the country, accessing services that they are not supposed to and and in violation of law in some cases and others, they're just exploiting the system,

exploiting our our goodwill toward all people. We understand there's some circumstances, some things where you just you know, if someone comes to the hospital, you got to treat them, and I agree with that, but we cannot be the world's e er and soup kitchen. There have to be limits on this. And we wonder why it is that this discussion immediately gets turned into screams of of racism and on all the rest or we don't necessarily wonder why we should just be prepared because that's what's going

to happen, and that's what is happening right now. I want to know what all of you think about that. I mean, this is a Friday, so I like to open up the lines as much as I can. So what do you think about the president's comments? What what's your take on He says he used tough language and was talking about this subject. So this isn't fake news. It may be false or exaggerated in some way. But he said, why are we bringing people in from countries that are in really rough shape? And why do the

Democrats want that so very very badly? And I want to know what you think about this eight four four nine eight to five eight four four nine buck. Uh, We're gonna have a show where we just kind of roll with what we want to talk about here today. That's the way we're gonna do it. So oh, which also means that I know we're talking about something kind of serious right now. But action movie quote Friday is also in effect hit it action. You could ask yourself question,

do I feel lucky? Movie? That's fot off quote Friday's action movie quote Fridays eight four four eight to five, eight four four nine hundred buck We will be right back. When it came to the issue of quote chain migration, I said to the President, do you realize how painful that term is to so many people. African Americans believe that they migrated to America in chains, and when you speak about chain migration, it hurts them personally. And he said, oh,

that's a good line. And then when I talked to him what the impact this has on family unification in a nation but values families with the flag as the most important symbols of our future. They scoffed at this notion. It was a heartbreaking moment. Senator Dick Durbin there doesn't know what chain migration is or where it comes from.

Chain migration has nothing to do with African Americans, and as it's not, the derivation of the term has nothing to do with African Americans who are brought to this country through slavery. Chain migration has to do with individuals who form a human chain, who are in this country to bring in the rest of their families. So Dick durban here doesn't care what the truth is, doesn't care what reality is. He's just seeing it another opportunity to pile on and engage in the most uh flimsy virtue

signaling it just doesn't care. He just doesn't doesn't factor into his thinking that chain migration is not what he seems to think it is. I don't know if he's that dumb or if he is just pretending because it gives him a good sound by right now, I don't know, but it has nothing to do with with anything. Uh he I. He's just looking for an opportunity to slam the president and that's all that he really cares about.

Right now. With all of this, it would be interesting if we could have a discussion actually about why don't we have a merit based immigration system in this country Canada? Does? Are all Canadians racist? Because they have a point system. They look, they look at a person, each individual, and they say, what are your skills, how much money do you have, what's your background? What would you bring to the country, and yes or no, we will let you in.

That's it. If there is no process of yes or no, if it's just show up, especially when you've got, you know, a welfare state like we do in this country. We like to think of, oh, you know Europe, they've got this crazy welfare state and everything. We got a big welfare state in America. To everybody, we're twenty trillion dollars

in debt. We're supposed to believe that, Uh, in many cases, illiterate immigrants from third world countries are going to be a huge benefit to an increasingly information based economy that already has significant wealth disparities. That's what we are. We're supposed to think because of doing the jobs Americans won't do. The Americans who have been doing whatever jobs they're doing, stretching back now for a few decades, have racked up a twenty trillion dollar tab that future generations are on

the hook for. So where does that leave us now? If we bring a lot of unskilled labor that doesn't speak English, never mind whether they buy into the rest of American law, American culture, they're gonna save us. It's not what. It's not how it's working out in Europe where they've had labor shortages, or at least they talk about labor shortages in places like Germany. It's it's a problem.

It has been a problem. Uh So, look, every citizen, or rather every immigrant, needs to be judged as an individual. I've met incredible immigrants from every country one can think of, Right, I've met immigrants from place and in fact, and I will you know, for you can start to rattle them off in your in your head, right, think about it, you know you look kit uh Cuban Americans, the Cuban

American community, this country so patriotic. Some of my close friends and mentors in uh In when I lived in d C. Cuban American and they fled an island that was turned into a prison camp basically, and they're incredible Americans, right, But they came to the process legally. They bought into this country, and it's it should be on an individualized basis.

What we've seen here is really an argument in favor of Americ based immigration system, not one that is certainly what we have now, which has chained migration and the lottery. Let's not get too crazy, and the lottery is fifty thou people year. There's a lot of people. But in the grand scheme of things, we've got a million new folks each year who are permanent residents or get citizenship. A million a year's a lot of people each year.

So looking at this process is all about doing what's best for the American people and doing doing what's best for future generations. And you know, this country is not a it's not a guarantee that will continue to be the best, the freest and everything else. We do have to take care of our own house here a bit. But yeah, a Cuban American immigrants, I remember I've spent I spent some time with it with a friend of

mine years ago. Who was a Cambodian immigrant. I mean when you've when you've had to flee, when you've had to flee the camer rouge with your family, and then America gives you safe haven. Yeah, you love America and you certainly at the time that would have been a you know, the camer rouge running your country. It's a pretty crappy country, right, Let's get away from just countries that are poor and call them crappy that that can see them a little bit like punching down. I understand that.

But North Korea is a crappy country. I mean, it's also poor, but it's an authoritarian police state. You know, there there are plenty of crappy. Look, you could make an argument that you know, in some ways, you know, Russia's kind of a crappy country. I mean, not crappy in the same way that these other countries are. It's crappy in its own way, but it's got a basically a dictator. You don't really have rule of law and a free press. And you know, there's different levels of crappy.

I guess what I'm trying to say. And there are plenty of Americans that will try to tell you how terrible this place is too. So you know, talking about a country is not the same thing as talking about all the people from that country. You know, when I, for example, when I criticize some aspects of Islamic belief, which you know, people get very tense about that and they get very angry. And you're not a Muslim, and what do you know? And I'm not criticizing individual Muslims.

I've many people in my life, including people I've served with overseas and and have trusted with my personal safety, who were Muslim. What I'm talking about the ideology, the ideological system, the same way that I wouldn't get offended if somebody said, well, you know, Roman Catholics, they really need to they got problems with this and that, and it's misogynistic or whatever is they want to say. They're

talking about the ideology, they're not. At least I don't take it as they're attacking me as a person, right, And a nation state is an entity unto itself. It is laws, customs, culture and ideas. It's not every single person that's in that country. So maybe this is I think there's a nuance that's getting lost in the conversation of the course of the last twenty four hours or so. Uh. But you know here we are. Wow, what a what a moment for the media. I've never seen this is

I think it's fair to say. And by the way, we've got every line here lits, so we will get the calls right after the break. I promise you. I know you're I want to hear you all way in and got a lot of thoughts on this. If you want to throw in an action movie quote, you can too. But we'll talk about immigration. But I think the media is more more up in arms about this about the

crap hole. I'll keep saying craphole instead of what was actually said, but the craphole comment, uh, than they were about the whole Billy Bush audio tape before the election. I think this is I think this is the peak of their of their outrage. So that's that's that is saying something with this media. It really is all right, we're gonna get into your calls, So stay on hold or give me a ring. We'll be right back. He's holding the line for America. Buck sex in his back.

Dr King's faith and his love for humanity led him and so many other heroes to courageously stand up for civil rights of African Americans. Through his bravery and sacrifice, Dr King opened the eyes and lifted the conscience of our nation. He stirred the hearts of our people to recognize the dignity written in every human soul. Today we sell a break Dr King for standing up for the self evident truth Americans holds so dear that no matter what the color of our skin or the place of

our birth, we are all created equal by God. That was President Trump earlier today, the same president that is being called a racist, vile, uh, a neo Nazi, all this stuff by mainstream journalists with big platforms, so they ignore what he says when they don't when it doesn't help or fit the narrative, and then they just focus in on one thing, take it out of context, and

make it sound as bad as they possibly can. This isn't gonna change, and no one who supports Trump is gonna say, you know what, I can't support him anymore because he mentioned some countries and said they were crappy. Because a lot of people are gonna say, I don't think he's calling them crappy countries because of anyone's skin color. He's just saying it's a crappy country. There. There are plenty, There are plenty of crappy countries around the world. This

is just this is just reality. Right. Democrats prefer emotion over truth, emotion over reality. But there are bad countries all over the place, right, just just the truth. But by the way, just one note before I know we've got every single line lit So by the way, as I take calls, that means a spot open. So those of you, because we had just a rush of calls, I want to hear from as many of you as

I can today on the show. So eight four four to eight to five is a number as we take calls, a slot open, so call in you can kind of paste it as we go through because we've got six lines lit up right now with callers. Um. But this is from Fox News Research, so that this is very interesting for and twenty six new U s citizenship. These are the numbers in terms of country of origin for

new United States citizens in. Number one Mexico two hundred nine thousand, Number two India thousand, Number three Philippines eighty two thousand, Number four China sixty seven thousand, number five, Dominican Republic fifty seven thousand, Number six, Cuba fifty seven thousand, number seven, Vietnam forty six thousand, number eight, Columbia thirty five thousand, number nine, El Salvador thirty four thousand, number ten,

Jamaica thirty three thousand. We don't really want to get lectures about America's a racist country, Republicans are racist, or what we're the country that's bringing in hundreds of thousand, a million years I told you, But of the top ten countries, not a single majority, wider majority Caucasian country for new U s citizens and immigrants. And when we're

getting lectures about racism, how does that work. We're being lectured about the racism of this country or the racism the Republican Party or the President himself, when it's not that we bring in some non white immigrants. We bring in a vast majority of immigrants who are in fact non white, which, by the way, if we're doing it based on skills, I'm on you great. If we're doing it based on these are people who are going to contribute right away to the economy. I don't care what

color anybody is. That's not how we do it, though, we do it based on who is your Do you have family here? If you are a refugee from a you know, from a country X and you have you know, twelve relatives, do you get to sponsor them to all come with you? And then do they get to then sponsor their relatives to come with them too? Alright, every line is let let's get into this. James in North Carolina, welcome to freedom, hud sir, Yes, sir, yes, thank you

for taking my call book. How are you? I'm good, Thank you for calling in good. Yeah, I just wanted to mention you mentioned that you're a fan of history as am I and m My wife is a newly sworn of marriaging citizens. Congratulations, you know, thank you so much. We're so happy. I just believe, you know, especially the time we had to wait for her to come to

this country. Um, some of our best immigrants. I think that both this country from the start came from what we would call crappy country, you know, at the time. And I think that as long as people do it legally, if they're going to contribute, definitely bring them. Um, you know, I feel the same sentiment was thrown upon Irish immigrants or the Chinese coming to work on the railroad. You know, it was, oh, what are they going to bring to

this country? Just cheap way. Well, they're defendants are now some of our senators, congressmen, major businessmen, and they were coming for a better life. And I just don't I'm not on board with the immigrants shaming that I feel sometimes just going on, and I think that our country has made up with people that sometimes came with no skills, but learned skills and assimilated. Um, James, I know, I look, I I appreciate all your sentiments, and I think he

makes a very very good points. I would just at a few thoughts of that. One is that the when, for example, you mentioned, uh, the Chinese, I think you mentioned building the railroads in that period of time, and the the Chinese Exclusion Act and all the different persecution against the Chinese in this country as they're building railroads.

But when you're talking about a pre twenty century America, just automatically, you're talking about a country where there was no welfare state, there was no federal income tax, and if you came you had to make it on your own right. There was no option to show up, do nothing and have the state pay for all your stuff. I think that's an important distinction when we look back at the historical example. You know, there's a difference between

pioneers and settlers. And oh I I I'd say that I'm a persecuted minority in whatever country I come from, and now I'm in America and I just expect to check and food stamps and whatever else. Those are different circumstances, right. I think we can agree that that's a difference. I'm not saying that negates any part of what you've said, but that's an important thing to keep in mind here. Uh And and I think the objection that a lot of I mean, I can't say a lot what does

that even mean? Right? But the objection that some people people like may feel is that they are meaning the immigration authorities right now or the Democrat Party and how they pushed immigration is that they want to privilege certain countries. And that's what's happened, for example, with temporary protected status with Al Salvador and Haitian. Certain countries irrespective of any one individual from that country is it's treated as special because of the country. Right. So in the case of

El Salvador. We say, oh, they had a really uh, they've had a lot of violence, or an earthquake or whatever the case may be. It changes, and so El Salvador goes to the front of the line because of that. Well, that's different than saying, well, hold on a second, somebody from El Salvador who wants to apply to be an American and wants to really bring something to the table and go through the process legally should be you know, should or should not be brought into the country. Right.

That's saying the entire country gets to go to the front line because it's in such a rough, rough shape. Well you know that that that's if you're somebody from Paraguay and just to pick a country random, you're somebody from Vietnam, you gotta be like, hold on a second, why do so El Salvador now has an advantage over me? Right, because we're treating it like we view this by nation state, not by individual. And I think that's also part of

the objection here. So when when Trump is lashing out, he's saying, hold on a second, why or why are we making special protections for for Haiti, for Al Salvador. I don't know the answers. They've had natural disasters, and but there are a lot of places that have all kinds of We don't have a special program for Somalia. Somalia has been basically in a state of war for the last thirty years. Right, you know what? Why doesn't say?

You know what I mean? So creating a special privilege for based on nationality for countries that are doing really badly also seems kind of countered to it and wrong. I think it should be based on individuals. And James, I've been talking. Anything you want to add to it, I wanted to give you those two thoughts. Oh no, I just wanted to say thank you for that, and also to you know, I believe in the merrit based system.

My wife had to wait her turn and I had to pick the coind and learn English in her country, come to the United States. Now she's a productive citizen, and it boils our blood in the house when we see people from her same country or other Latin American countries show up and, like you said, become a charge on the system. So I totally agree with what you're saying. All right, James, thank you so much for the call. Good to have you with us. Um, let's get to

uh Tammy in Stewart, Virginia. Tammy, good to have you, hey Buck, but thank you, thank you for letting leave talk to you tonight. Thank you for calling in the storman Um, I know when we voted for Trump. Trump has a special way in putting things and that doesn't bother me. And sometimes strong words need to come out our words then we might not fill and appropriate to get attention. And this is a big deal in our country. UM. I know we're a great country. I know we have

a lot. But as I get older, off I realized that you know, as far as medical and housing and things. Um, you know, it's harder and harder, and you begin to see that as you get older and wiser. And I feel the frustration with what Trump said because I look at all the funding and all the things that our country does for other countries, and yet you still have to watch the poor people that live there and they

still have nothing. And you know, we give and give and do for others, which is good, but it does become frustrating because where's the money one and these poor people that we're accused in Trump of saying that they're they're crap. That's to me, is not what he's saying. Because people that don't have anything from the country that he stated, how are they going to get here anyway? And you know we we help. Yeah, well there are countries that are too impover I mean that are you know.

The truth is that what ends up happening, Tammy, is that for a lot of folks, proximity the United States is a tremendous advantage who want to immigrate here. That's what we've seen. Right, if you're close enough to walk or to get here by boat, Um, that's a lot easier than if you actually have to get on an international flight, although we do have five thousand visa over stays a year. But Tammy, I very much appreciate you calling in. Thank you. Um Evelyn in Greensboro, North Carolina,

have one Hi buck. The reason I called that was a lot of these conversations have already been said, right, But I have no proble with someone coming here illegally and and doing what is right, learning the language, going towards our belief system as far as you know, uh, getting in with the community, not establishing their own rules and laws from their country that they came and I have a coworker. She came from India with a special

needs child and another another daughter. She spent so much money in lawyers and everything to get her through the you know, immigration process to be a legal naturalized system. And she came with a master's in um nuclear science. Now she doesn't do that at work, but she's she's got a high paying job, much better than mine. And so she is paying taxes and doing um, you know what, what American citizen, which she owns a home. She's she's a wonderful person. And um, they're the kind of people

that you don't mind coming into this country. And I went through the test with her to try to get her, you know, familiar with the answers for to become a citizen. I don't think half or three courters of American citizens born here could answer those. Oh yeah, absolutely, the citizenship test. A lot of American citizens would fail the citizenship tests if they had to take it. But Evel and I

hear you. And that's the thing. I mean, there's really no no reasonable and moral person is opposed to an immigrant coming to the country just because they don't like immigrants. It's just about having an orderly process that's as fair as it can be and that benefits the American people, the critics extent possible. Evelin, thank you for calling and always good to talk to you. I gotta run a

quick break your team. We're gonna run out of time, but lines Lit will take more calls because this is a bit more and uh, we're roll into some other things later on in the show. We've got Matt wallsh jointing to talk about whether or not people should just think college is the thing to do and they graduated from high school. Here's a hint. He doesn't think so, and I agree with him. We'll also discuss uh, maybe some dating dues and don'ts letting don'ts later on in

the show. It's been been a while since I've been on the single scene, but share some thoughts with you on that. I might get into the Iran re certification. Although that's a pretty short news story, but it maybe we'll get me talking about a little online spat that occurred between a few former Obama administration national security officials and a New York Times reporter. Um, I know that's very vague, but if I get into it, it's pretty interesting and I'm just really curious what you all think

about this, this Trump situation as well. We've got some spots open on the lines now eight four four eight to five eight four four nine hundred buck. We are rolling on freestyle Friday, and we'll be right back. Yea. Even in the President United States is tired of so many black people come into this country, tired of immigrants from Haiti and Africa being allowed in quote, why are we having all these people from the whole country has

come here? The President said today at the White House. So, um, anyway, that was Anderson Cooper again, and uh, there you have it. Um, there you have Anderson Cooper saying mean things about the president from earlier today. We've got a lot of lines lit here. Uh, let's get into it. Daniel in Harrisonburg, Virginia, Daniel and Harrisonburg. Yeah, Hey, what's up, Daniel? Hey you may remember me from coming in a few weeks ago. I don't remember, But what's up? Ah? I haven't actual

movie quote for you. Without sacrifice, there can be no victory. I don't know what that one is, man, you got me. It's from Transformers. Optimist Prime says it multiple times and every movie oh wow, very good, very good. Congratul got me on that one. I think I saw the first Transformers movie. I didn't see the other like two or three after that though. Yeah. They've continued making some more in their two more new ones now oh all right, um, and they don't want to talk to you a little

bit about your history podcast. So I really liked it and I thought it was really good and something you said and then it I reignited a memory my dad told me when I was listening to your show a few days ago about the Muslim Empires. And I remember that when I showed my dad at the eras would be covering in history this year because I'm fifteen in Emma, Oh no, I remember, You're the fifteen year old they called in Okay, yeah, of course, go ahead. But he

shared a link with me about it. Turns out my grandmother's ancestor was Americ drenching the band of Croatia in uh hm, and he helped fight the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Crabava Field. Very cool. I might have to get into that battle on the podcast. Daniel, Thank you very much. I'm sorry. One more thing, go ahead. I also wanted to talk to you about immigrants quick.

And I remember back when Trump was getting elected. My dad's hairdresser, she is actually an immigrant from Mexico, and she came in the legal way, and she was kind of here and she said that she was going to vote for Trump because she had to go through so much stuff to get here illegally, and there's so many other ships coming in here not even bothering to do all that. Yeah, the people that go through it legally are very annoyed at people are very annoyed that so

many people get through illegally. Daniel, have a great weekend. I hope you'll download the History podcast coming out on Monday. She'll hie, buddy, thank you. All right, team, we're gonna roll an hour two here coming up in just a second eight four four nine eight two five on the lines they got me on that action movie quote Transformers is in fact an action movie. And we have to

get into some other stuff here. You know, if there's everything is all focused now on this craphole comment, to the extent that there's really almost nothing else that's getting reported on out there, which is well, well crazy, But we'll get into some other stuff, So stay right there. Team, I'll be back. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. You've got uh

crap hole gates or whatever they're calling it now. I mean it's it's the big scandal, the big scandal. The President says he did not say it, and others are saying he did say it. And that's what they have had on the lower third of CNN, I think, NonStop for twenty four hours now, a four letter word whole

and then countries. They cannot get enough of this. They love talking about this because you know that the media has been a little upset for a while, and they're upset because their favorite subject matter is the lecturing of others on racism. They love this. Wealthy particularly wealthy white liberals on various media channels really in joy and get it, get a particular thrill out of talking about how everyone how everyone who disagrees with them on whatever subject matter.

It's just so racist. And they're not racist, of course, they being the liberal media people, they're they're not racist. And yet you have people like Nancy Pelosi out there, and she can say things like this, and we're all supposed to just say that this is fun. This is part of a bigger problem. Let me let me work into this with you for a moment. Here. This is what Nancy Pelosi said about some of the members of Congress negotiating over Doka. Who's going to take this deal?

And then one will you know that you are? We haven't thought. Just stay tuned, Stay tuned. I would say of that McCarthy, the four four, the five white guys that call them, you know, um, I say you can open a Hamburger stand next or what? Um? The that could have been done four months ago, the very idea that this week they're saying, oh, why don't we get four white guys and General Kelly to come and do this.

This is part of a much larger phenomenon one I'm sure many of you, all of you are familiar with, and that is that it is considered among Democrats and leftists, it is considered open season to mock and deride and put down whiteness, and white Democrats will do this as a means of showing that they are not they're not a part of the problem. Right that it's others, it's Republicans, Conservatives, traditional Christians who are white. They're the problem. They are

the the issue with racism in this country. And I do think that there's a there's an overall sense that many people have that they are sick of hearing about. They're sick of a situation in which you can make any comment about white people. You can lecture white people on their white privilege, demean their struggles, to mean their pain, to mean their uh, their triumphs, say that it was all handed to them, say that it's all easier for them.

Make fun of how white people, in different ways culturally are inferior to other people. You know, white people aren't good at this, or white people aren't good at that. White people ruined thirty things. That was a very popular article on BuzzFeed. And this has now become a punchline for stupid people. Right, it's like, oh, you know, just a bunch of oh, a bunch of white guys got together. Oh there's you know, these white guys they don't know anything.

Why is that? Why is it okay two limit anyone to their their race in terms of their respect, their recorded, their case abilities. Why is mocking white people all all okay? And I should note that for for white people who aren't leftist democrats, and also just white people in general not allowed to make comments about anything else and anyone else.

I mean, you're not not allowed to step outside if you're you're allowed to talk about how white people are all inherently racist, had it easier than everybody else, White privilege, white splaining, all this stuff, and you can't. You can't even speak about other races, ethnicities, or anything else without without risking firing, without risking your career, your reputation, your friends, your social standing, everything. I think everyone's kind of sick of it. At least a lot of people are sick

of it. It's a double standard that has no philosophical moral grounding to it, right, It's just it's just become an accepted double standard of the media and and in our politics. And everyone's kind of tired of it, you know, Nancy Pelosi, ah ha, A bunch of white guys. And it's pretably white males I'm talking about here too. White males are now the the punching bag on college campuses

for various professors, even entire classes devoted to this. I mean, the whole notion of white privilege is, so it is actually so offensive as somebody who went to a high school where there were a lot of working class we'd

call working class whites. In my school, it was a scholarship school, and it was always remarkable to me that some of my friends who were uh, excellent students but came from very difficult back I think the the average income, and this is back in the nineties in my class was basically the average household income was like fifty something thousand dollars a year, which in New York City, by the way, wherever you're living in the country, New York

is twice as expensive unless you live in the Bay Area, and it's basically twice as expense of his most other parts of the country in terms of quality of life everything else. So fifty grand in New York in like the nineteen mid nineteen nineties would be like living on

twenty five grand and the rest of the country. And I just remember that the my fellow students, among among the white students and the Asian students, it was just kind of you know, you'nna to take out a lot of loans, and you know, your your your white privilege is only gonna get you so far here, I guess. But for the non white, non Asian students in my class, including some of higher socio economics standing than the white students I'm talking about, it was, you know, let's please,

we need more diversity at Harvard. Let's bring you in as fast as we can. What what do I tell my friend who's you know, the got a single parent and his working two jobs and has better grades and better s a t S than one of his classmates, and he can't get he can't even look at some of these schools, and he's going to be drowning in debt and loans for decades. But you know, he has white privilege. I think eventually people get tired of that, right, and we we might finally be at the point now.

And in large part I think it's because the Asian American community is also as also kind of like, hey, hold on a second, what the heck is this all about. You've got people that are here who are phenomenal students, do incredibly well, have had no leg up on anybody,

no special advantage. You know, some of their parents refugees from Vietnam, you know, came here from South Korea without a dime in their pockets, whatever the case may be, and they're told, yeah, but you know, we we don't need you as much as we need some other immigrant minorities. Well what is that based on? Right? The whole racial cast system that the media, academia and the Democratic Party and forces on us is not just tiresome now, it's

it's wrong. It's unethical. And the notion that you should be able to make fun of whiteness and white people all the time, because is ha ha ha, what what message does that send? And the Nancy Pelosi, I mean, look that she wasn't even a particularly egregious example of it, but that we have these terms like white privilege and white splaining and people say, check your privilege. You know, there was a an say that I remember reading a while ago, and it was by because I read I

just like I just like smart people. I just like reading brilliant people. So I'll try anyone who is really knowledgeable, really thoughtful from any perspective. If I find it, I'll try to read it. And the guy's a socialist actually, and he wrote a piece about how the left has

just completely lost its mind. He didn't say it that way, but he's basically saying when they will say that you can't really understand, you can't really understand suffering the same way as a white persons as you can as a non white person, that that pain and suffering is different for for white people. And he went in to a whole essay his name is Freddie dubor the whole essay about how he lost one parent slowly and painfully to cancer and then lost another parent slowly and uh, slowly

painfully to cancer. And people will be like, well, but you're suffering is not the same as as embattled minorities in this country or something. He goes, No, I think I have an understanding. I think I actually know what what suffering is, thank you very much. I think it's a human thing. It's not a race or gender or

ethnicity thing. And it's a very evil, Uh, it's a very evil way to approach the suffering of other human beings, to think, well, where do you fall in this artificially constructed hierarchy that's changing all the time of you know, who's got it, who's got it works, who's who's rougher, who's rougher off? More difficult for them to deal with um and you know, it's we're reaching a point where people are kind of sick of it. You know, I

don't want to be lectured about white privilege. I don't want to be told that, you know, opposition to affirmative action, or opposition to immigrations based upon national origin quota that favor third world non Christian countries for example, or you know, or or or non white countries specifically because they're non white, that that's not something we're allowed to talk about. All right. I've been going on for some length here and we've

got which I very much appreciate. We got every single line. Let let me rack and stack some calls when we come back, and we will hear from all the U team made for four to five. Stay with me, all right, team lines, let let's get into it. RB in Greensboro, North Carolina. Welcome to Freedom, Hud. Thanks for taking my call, man, you thanks for all you've done and continue to do.

When people refer to the best and the brightest and the finest that are referring to you and many of the people that helped you along the way, you're it's uh the way you analyze stuff, man, it's very fair and it as credibility to your opinion. And I just like I like listening thinking like here and I this guy's doing Bravo Company Create Club is all that set up so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you RB very kind words. At also very much appreciate you supporting

one offul sponsors of the show. That's what keeps the show on the air, so that means a lot. And thank you for your kind words. It's important part of it. This is, to me is just super simple. Trump is a businessman. He's not thinking immigration, He's thinking HR Department. And you want to go get the best schools and the best places to get the best people to do

the job. And it pisces me off that people can't get in a room and have a conversation with upen ideas and saying things, and nobody takes it out of the room when you when you start leaking stuff out those rooms, when you're having those back room conversations, then

nobody everybody will shut up, nobody will nobody will express himself. Well, it's a terrible thing that that idiot democrat did by pulling this out and making a big deal out of it, because it hurts the sausage making that needs to go on and keeps people from being afraid to say something because it's gonna get repeated and reported and all that

kind of stuff, and that hurts the system. But Trump's just hiring people, and he's looking for countries to have an education system that are training their people that can bring something to the table and help this country be greater. And the Democrats are looking for countries they have no system, and whenever they come over here, they're gonna need the

government's help. If they need the government's health, they're gonna vote Democrats to me it it They detrimental to this country for the for US to bring people over here. They're all they're gonna do is lead money off the

top of the of the welfare system. Yeah. I've had on before different experts who crunch the numbers and market Corey into the Center of Immigration Studies for example RB and he just says, look, you got about double double the welfare and benefits usage of of immigrants into the country. And I mean immigrants, not even legal immigrants that you

do for native born Americans. I mean, that's these are statistics when when you're a country that's twenty trillion in debt and you're worried about what your economic future is gonna be. You gotta take this stuff seriously. And it also goes to the heart of whether or not we even have something that can be called the country. If

you don't control your borders, who comes and goes. If citizenship is not something to be valued, but something that has given away freely to benefit a a ruling elite class, that then America it will cease to be. It is just a matter of how quickly they're they're just wanting to be politically correct about who we bring over. Trump just cares about making America great, and I see that in that conversation. I think, and most of Americans do.

Only the political elite see this as an opportunity to be jerks about this, but the rest of us makes it makes perfect sense to all of us common people out here in the field. Why would we want people to come over here that can bring nothing to the table. Yeah, it's it's a straight I like your HR. I like your HR office analogy, because that's the way we should run it. That Canada's immigration system is like a giant national HR office. That's how they do it, and the

Canadians are very nice and nice people, not racist at all. RB. Thank you for your thoughtful and kind call my friend, shield Tie, and have a great weekend. Uh. Let's see, we got here, a lot of calls, a lot of calls. Uh, Dave in Sacramento. We got a Sacramento calling. All right, what's up? Dave? Hey, Buck Shields, Hi, how are you field time? My friend? I'm good, good, Hey, I'm calling to um. Uh. Well, first of all, let me ask a personal question. You had you had a Porterhouse at

some point. When did you do that? I've had it. What do you mean, I've had a Porterhouse steak before. I'm just look, I'm a ribby guy, all right, you know I like what I like. I know, I know. So my my point I wanted to bring up today is to kind of step back from this craphole whatever you want to call it, different countries, uh, thing that's going on right here, and take the larger perspective, which is this is just a war right now between left

and right. And sorry, President happens to be on the right, just like Bush before him. He's catching it every time in the media. I remember back when Bush was president and NPR would just hammer him daily. They would put up the troop numbers of folks that got killed in an action over in Iraq and Afghanistan and him every single day. And the same thing when he started to promote the idea or promote the surge, Yeah, exactly, and they called it the so called surge is how they

phrase it. Every single time. I said, this isn't a search and so just the insidious attack daily. And it's the same with Trump. He's just kidding it every time they have an opportunity to do this, except now it's completely magnified, you know, with every single news media outlet other than Fox hammering on him. Yeah, it's an amazing I mean you look at you look at the hysteria, Daves. I mean, the country is doing actually really well by

all these different measures and metrics. You can look at businesses, great economies, great employments, great, I mean all this, and they're acting like we're at the end of days right now. Though they don't believe in that biblical stuff on the left, but you know what I mean, I mean they're acting like we are, you know, just just days away from

some kind of Trump apocalypse. And I'm looking around. I'm like, you know, things are going pretty well, man, I mean, you know, what what what world are they living in? But Dave, thank you for the call from Sacramento Goo to talk to you. My friend, She'll tie you know, I was just one one little side here, and that is that the experience of being in what you could call a crappy country is something that very much, very very much affects your sense of how great America is.

I mean, you know, it's not enough to be there for like an hour and you know then then fly

out or something. I mean, you know, to really spend some time, spend a few weeks, maybe a few months, in a country where there's uh really no expectation of a government that functions without graft and theft and corruption, Where you can't trust the police, where the police don't come even if you call them, where if they do come, they're just as likely to shake you down or maybe even do you harm as any bad guys that are

in your home. Where there's raw sewage in the streets, where there aren't street lights, where you don't really have much in the way of cell phone signal and very little in the way of of WiFi, Where kids walk around, sometimes up to their ankles in raw sewage and runoff, where indoor plumbing is a rarity, where electricity is a luxury. There are where where people die of diseases that we're essentially eradicated in the developed world, have been cured for

over a century. There are places I've been in places like that. There are places like that in this world, and it is ah very perspective changing and perspective shaping to spend some time in it, because when you come back to this country that we are in, I don't care if you are in the roughest inner city or the poorest parts of the rust belt or whatever. This place is incredible. I the the cleanliness, this technology, the services, the legal system, the food, the medicine. I mean, America

is amazing. And you really, I'm just putting it out there. And I know many of you have spent time in places like this, But if you ever do find yourself in when you'll see what I mean, if you're in a truly impoverished third world country and in the parts of it where no tourists would ever go, changes the way you view this country forever. So that's something to think about here we'll be back with more calls and more to talk about, just a few other shows. Just

talk at you in the Freedom Hunt. We have a mission. We fight for the truth in a team effort and buck us back with our next play time. Do you think the coverage of Donald Trump has overcorrected? That is, do you think yes, and we're over our skis and it's gonna hurt us. Yes, we've overstepped. We're over our skis. We are to not we the entire mainstream media. We are reflexively anti trump um on all things. Look at Joe Scarborough there on the Katie Kirk podcast, because yeah,

I want to hear Katie Kurrik's opinions. They're gonna Katiekirk very lucky person to have had the job she did when she did, because I've never heard her say anything interesting in my life. But I gotta say, Scarborough, at least it is correct on this right. Let's call it what it is, saying that the media is reflexively and almost psychotically anti Trump. I think Morning Joe's as a show not as bad as some others, but it's also pretty reflexively and insanely anti Trump. But it's not gonna

get any better after this. I should note though I have not I will say that I have not seen or heard from and I talked to a lot of a lot of people listen to the show or in constant contact with me via Facebook or email. I got a lot of friends in the media, you know, writers, journalist, reporters, all that no one who's pro Trump has seen this whole exchange, over the crap, whole countries, and it's like,

this is it for me. I'm done, which is pretty amazing when you think about I mean, I'm just it's anecdotal. I understand. I'm not giving you a scientific study here, but I haven't heard from anyone yet that they're like, you know what, this is too much, He's gone too far. I'm done with Trump over this. Meanwhile, if you're anti Trump, this is now what we're we're in. It's like Dante's Inferno and this is the ninth circle of Hell. I mean, this is the worst of the worst of the worst.

Greg in Oklahoma City, It's ranger, Greg, isn't it. Buck. How's it going today? I'm good, brother, Thank you for calling,

and always good to talk to you. Absolutely, man um, I just wanted to talk about this little spat between Brett Stevens of New York Times and are a steamed friend Tommy A. Vitter Um, who was a formal National Security Council spokesman for the Obama administration, and this theory that Obama administration people had tipped off the Israeli or excuse me, the Iranians, that the Israelis we're going to

kill or assassinated, if you will, general solemnity. And I find it interesting that many of the players in this um have no experience in foreign policy at all. I mean, vitter Is it was just in college and had a b A. And it was just like a van driver, I guess for UM, Obama for America, and then all of a sudden, in a few short years later, is a natural security spokesman with no actual experience in national security. Oh yeah, oh no, he's first of all, he's the

guy who's like, dude, Benghazi was like two three years ago. Bra, that was Tommy vitor Uh. If you remember that that exchange from that was on national television, I'll never forget. There's like it was like two years ago. Hang ten. Uh. So here's here's the exchange. Let me let me get into it a bit. I've I've been reading about this. I had a feeling this is what would happen with it. So you had Brett Stevens, who is a former Wall

Street journal never Trump, current New York Times editorialist. He leans right, but he's never He's he's never Trump like Trump. If Trump wears a blue suit, Brett Stevens wants to wear a gray one. Right, It's it's like he is never Trump in a way that's a a sickness. But he's now the New York Times, and he raised an r he he tweeted out an article from how Arts, which is an Israeli left newspaper, and in Hearts they cited I believe it was a Kuwaiti sourced claim. So

take that for whatever it's worth. That the Obama administration had given heads up somehow to Custom Solimani, who's the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, the i r g C, which everybody listening is the is the kind of the crazy revolutionary henchman of the Iranian regime. Think of it that way. You know, if if there were like, uh, it's like the the equivalent if they could create you know,

spec ops jihadis. That's what the I r g C is and the head of it, Custom Solimani, has been involved in all kinds of bad stuff, including with the I r g c S ties to what was going on with the Shia militias in Iraq. Greg, I know you served in Iraq. You were a sniper, uh some years ago. They were the guys that were helping get all the e f P s, the explosively formed penetrate.

There's these cylindrical explosive devices that create a it's almost like a shooting a stream of molten magma in a sense through the hulls of armored vehicles that maimed and killed a lot of U S servicemen. So Consum solomany Is is human refuse and the world would be a

better place if we took him out. That the Obama administration allegedly may have given him a heads up would just be another data point that the Obama and his people were so desperate to get a deal with Iran that they would even possibly betray an intelligence source or betray a method of getting information to give Cosum Solomania heads up that some other country was going to try to take him out. Well, that obviously got people's attention.

Now as to Greg, your question about whether it's true or not, Vtour and Uh and Stevens went back and forth. Ben Rhodes also was pulled into this because Stevens is like, do you guys want to comment on this? And v Tour and Ben Rhodes, who is Obama's national security propagandist, UH mocked Stevens for even raising it, and they had something of a back and forth there, and effectively they're

saying it's not true that it never happened. I don't know, Greg, I mean, I wasn't in government at the time, and you know, so I don't know if it's true or not. A Kuwaiti source Israeli Daily newspaper article. I mean, you know, maybe maybe not, who knows, But I would say that I would find it at least theoretically believable that the

Obama administration would do that. And what was even more interesting was that these two senior Obama administration officials thought it was completely beyond the pale that taking out the leader of the Kods Force, which is a terrorist organization, they think that's just insane, and they that was what was interesting in the exchange. So you know, they're like, you know, yeah, killing an Iranian leader, like we would

ever do that? Um. First of all, you know, if we could have taken Saddam out in the early days and one of those palaces with a big bomb, I'm sure, I'm sure we would have been perfectly happy to do that. And second of all, he's a I mean, the IRG season designated terrorist organization, and Consum Solimani has American blood on his hands. You know, if I had the choice to drop a jade m on on Cossum Solimani, I know which, I know which answer i'd give Greg. Yeah,

I think that. I think it was interesting too that they both have defended, uh, the idea that Israel shouldn't do that. Yeah, sorry, Israel was the country that was that was, you know, according to this article, going to take out Costam Solomany. And you know, I would look at this and I'd say, well, if Israel is going to take out, you know, a senior Hamass operative, why wouldn't they want to take out a senior ir GC

operative exactly? And I think Ben Rhodes's tweet in that whole exchange was kind of telling he he just said it was outrage Is that you would even suggest it? Not that No, they didn't do it. UM. I think if somebody would accuse me of something that crazy, I would be like, no, I absolutely did not do that. Not no, that not rageous claim. How could you ever

think of propagating that? Um. It is an interesting play of words that those you know, the Ben Rhodes and Tommy of your type of people have a habit of doing UM, using words very selectively and carefully in choosing, you know, how they what sort of message they want to display. UM. And Tommy's defense of general somomy solomony is absolutely crazy and insane because, like you said, he

does have the blood of thousands of Americans. We know of at least five hundred that were killed with those e f P s UM and I know personally a couple of friends that are missing limbs, in arms and legs because of these things. I mean, UM. For people that don't know, an e FP, like you said, is molten steel and whatnot, and copper usually is shot at twenty two per second, so it's going through these things. It's a shape charge specifically meant to puncture US armored

vehicles and kill our guys. And the Iranians were handing those two Shia militia's to kill our guys, and we should have been taken out as many of them as we could. And I know some people that were involved in dealing with those e FP networks. God bless them for doing it. But it's something that we should not we should not forget any time soon. And you know, look, I wish, I wish. Now we're getting into the rock stuff, Greg, you're not gonna have a beer and talk about this sometime.

All the mom would have to be gluten free. But you know, Muktada should have taken out that evil, that evil tub of vileness. Any chance that we should have, we should have helped we could. If it's an interesting theory that we could have, they would have pushed. It. Doesn't surprise me if it did happen, because again the obamists administration just rolled over at any cost to get that Iranian deal deal done. So I mean it's something

to think about. Yeah, Costum, Silmani, Matad all Sodder, these are people that you know, if we could take off the battlefield, we should, Greg, thank you for service. Thank you for your call. Brother. Always always always good to hear from you. We're gonna roll in a quick break here, team when we come back, talk about some some other things. One note, I I just saw this right before I went in to break. There was a commerce or there was a story up about hazing death I think in Pennsylvania.

And we're gonna be talking about college later on the show, whether people should go to college. But I'm just for those who are listening, who are Look, if you had a great time in your fraternity or sorority, God bless and I'm glad you had a great time, But I would advise anybody don't don't join those things. And and it's it's just not it's not a good idea, you know, at this stage, it's just so much binge drinking, you know.

I know I sound like a grumpy old man here, but I had a All my friends did that stuff in college, and they asked me to do the various fraternities and even I even was asked to join a secret society. And I didn't do any of that stuff. Yeah. No, No one is like smearing rotten eggs on Buck's face after making him drink, you know, out of a keg until he vomits on himself or something that's never happening.

And that stuff happens in a lot of fraternities just and I don't even want to get into the sorority stuff, so I just don't do it. That's that's advice for all the young team puck out there. You're you're too cool, too worthwhile, and too interesting and individual to get sucked into some constrained social environment that's really just revolves around a lot of of binge drinking. That's my opinion. People can say I'm wrong, but if it were up to me,

I would. I would all on campus fraternities and sororities across the country. I'd probably say ah later, all right, that was just out of nowhere. But I saw that, and that just it's just so upsetting. This nineteen year old kid died at a fraternity. You know, what do you? What do you? What are you idiots around him doing? First? First priority? Always we're with people. First party is gonna be everyone's okay, you're supposed to be socializing. No one's

supposed to die. Good God, And I'm very anti Greek. I'm very anti Greek life. I'll just put it out there, so all right, we'll be right back. Fake news better running high because the buck Sexton Show is back. Rebecca in New Hampshire. What's going on, Rebecca do Hey? So I've spent quite a bit of time in Haiti and I just wanted to talk about um, the president choice of words. If those were the the actual words that he used. Um, I think he could have used a

better choice of words. However, I can understand why he said what he said. Tell us why if that makes any sense. Well. One of the things I've learned after spending a tremendous amount of time in Haiti working to help people start small businesses a way of a hand up instead of a hand out, is that their education system, though it's all run by nonprofits, is decent for what

they're used to. When friends of mine from Haiti, even ones that have worked for the u n as translators, come to the United States on a green car and they basically feel as though they have to start all the way back in elementary school all over again, because even with a degree from a university in Haiti, they can't get a job in the United States, so they inevitably end up with a very low paying job and

have to receive government assistance. And this is one of the reasons why I encourage my Haitian friends to not come to the United States, to stay in their own country, get the best education they can, and to help make their own country better rather than coming here and working

a minimum wage job and living off of the federal government. Yeah. Well, brain drain from countries into the US, particularly poor countries that could really use as much of their own Uh, you know, indigenous entrepreneurship as possible is a real issue, absolutely, And if you look at I know, one of the things being discussed lately is um TPR and folks having

to go back. And it was a couple of months ago that the the Haitians on t p I they were gonna say, are going to have to start returning back. And I have Haitian friends here in the United States, and and they were interviewing a lot of Haitians on the radio who had been here since they were children, had gone out and gotten degrees, are working very very good jobs, and they have to go back, and they're saying it's not there. Our country doesn't have jobs for

us there, and our country. We can't make a living. And my response to that is go back and improve the economy. You now have the skills to do that. Is there are a that you can country out of poverty? Is there a way that you could just I mean, we you know, we've got to We're gonna be at the top of the hour here a second, so I need to move. But just real quick, um, if people want to understand how poor I think people think of poverty. They think of like a rundown part of town. You know,

a lot of people particularly haven't left the country. Hey, is is poor? Actually in a in a global sense? Meaning I believe Haiti is one of the ten poorest in fact, maybe one of the five poorest countries in the world per capita. What is that? How does that manifest itself? What's it like when you're there? Well, when I am there, I actually live out in the provinces. I don't live in Port of Prince. I live out

in the countryside uh In. Sometimes I've been there in a tent through hurricanes, but generally it is in a center block or um stick built with mud structure. Um Sometimes families as large as ten people will live in two very small rooms. Uh no, running water. Electricity is through a solar panel. Um, your bathroom is a you know, a long drop out back. You are bathing out of a bucket of water with a cup, and that is

how you're surviving. And even inside porter prints where I have day now and then you might have electricity turned on three hours a day and that is it. So we're talking bare bones. Refrigeration is highly unusual out in the countryside. Um. Everything is cooked over charcoal. Um that is made in the country, which is stripping the landscape, which leads to the mud flides and so on. But you know, unless you're in very small pockets in the country,

you've never even been inside a regular store. It's all outside marketplaces. So we're talking the poor of the poor people who are in the United States. Unless you're in very specific areas in the United States, will never understand what it's like to be in Haiti. Rebecca, very enlightening. Thank you very much for your call, and thank you for sharing all that with us, and welcome. Thank you have a great weekend in Shield. Hie H Richard, Mississippi. Richard,

See, I'm so glad people are you know, people are getting around with the shieldside. It's so nice, such a nice call from Richard. Really really appreciate that. All Right, we gotta I'm gonna talk to you. Are

we got the worst flu season in many years. I'm gonna wind about the flu. But also there's a policy tie in that I'm gonna make and I promised I want to talk about vaccines because some of you are like, don't do it, because I never people get really upset about that. Matt Wills's gonna join talk about college, and then I'm gonna talk to you about first dates because we're going to a weekend, so why not there right there? Welcome back to our three of the Buck Sexton Show.

It's our last hour together. This week in the Freedom Hunt brings a tear to my eye. The only thing that makes me happy is that we'll be together next week here in the Freedom Hunt, of course. And I'm spending my weekend working on the Shield High History podcast, which hopefully everyone listening to this will at least try to download one time see if you like it, and then even if you don't, please keep downloading it. That

would be great. But hopefully you'll love it, because I've gotten some pretty positive feedback so far on it, and it is a labor of love. But I don't want to sound like a hypochondriac, somebody who is always worried about being sick. Well maybe I kind of am. It's

also called being a New Yorker. I think we tend to have high anxiety about catching colds and flues because we're in the subway and these huge office buildings that were surrounded by people in the street all the time, and you just you can see how the virality of a virus is a very real thing. And sure enough, I mentioned to you earlier on in the week that I got a flu shot, only to find out that the flu shot for this year is something like effective

against the actual flu. And now we're already seeing reports that this is the worst flu in years, where the health officials this is this was linked up on Drudge. I think it's an ap piece. The entire continental United States is experiencing wide spread flu right now, the first time in the thirteen years of the current tracking system that has happened. According to the Centers for Disease Control, officials said that this flu season is shaping up to

be one of the worst. The rate of flu hospitalizations, the number of people hospitalized with flu per hundred thousand nearly doubled last week compared with the previous week. So last week it was twenty two point seven per hundred thousand. This week the rate was thirteen I'm sorry. The week before the rate was thirteen point seven Uh, this is not the kind of thing that I right, well, I know no one wants to see anything like this. This

is this is bad news. The influenza influenza A virus H three and two has caused the lion's share of the illness in most parts of the country this year. Now, why am I bring this up? One Because I'm sharing my anxiety over getting the flu again this year after having gotten nailed with it last year. As I told you, and there's nothing really that teaches humility. I always say this to people. You know, you don't know, nothing teaches you humility as fast as either having the flu or

food poisoning. Because all, no matter how big and tough or cool and smooth or you know, pretty and amazing whatever you think you are, when that flu comes on and you're shaking under the covers and then sweating and shaking and sweating, and your fevers like a hundred who are a hundred and three? Yeah, you realize we're all We're all fragile little butterflies in this world. We're all we are snowflakes, and that it is easy to melt us. Uh,

it's it's a reminder of our fragility. As as human beings. But it also is for me a reminder that of all the things that I would like government to be better at or to to do, maybe a little more of curing pandemic disease should be a lot higher on the list. Every time I see some big ticket fundraiser about climate change and they're like, white could die in

a hundred years because the water is gonna rise. And you know, if you don't have like a canoe or a kayak or something, you know, it's just gonna get higher and higher than water. I want to yell and say, I've got an idea. Why don't you guys deal you guys being the federal government centers for disease control, why don't you deal with the possibility of pandemic influenza and try to get ahead of that problem, because it is

just a matter of time. When I mentioned before the Spanish influenza, which they believe was started in the Midwestern United States in UH nineteen eighteen ors or so nighteen, I forget right around there, and it killed tens of millions of people around the world. People die every year from the flu. Usually they're either very young or on the older side, but that in the nineteen teens, you could have the rapid spread and progression of if IRUs

like that that would kill so many people. Now add on to it, not instantaneous, but twenty four hour global travel. Instantaneous would be like Star Trek where the guy just appears somewhere else. That would be cool, though, but global travel is now the norm, and so one person and also just the concentration of human beings in particularly large cities. Look, this is the stuff, you know. We all have our

things that get us get us worried. For some people, it's that we're gonna into a credit crisis because of the debt and our money. Our money is gonna be worthless and we're gonna be in a mad Max dystopian future. For other people, it's an e MP attack. Right, We've all got our stuff. Okay, North Korea puts an MP up in the sky. It fries everything all of a sudden. At least your problem is going to be the fact that you can't access your four oh one case statements online.

You're not gonna or your medical records, the doctor's office, power stations will be off all that stuff, etcetera, etcetera. So e MP freaks on people out. For me, I think the big the big threat that doesn't get nearly enough attention is pandemic disease, and it's one of those areas where the private sector. Yeah, private sector obviously huge

role to play in curing diseases. As I found out recently that Celiac disease, which is something that I'm very hopeful will be cured in the near future, that some of the cures they're looking at right now aren't really cures. They're just treatments you take while you also maintain a gluten free die it. And I just want to be like, if I can't eat my fried coconut shrimp, well, what's the point, right, Why why am I even taking this

pill that's for celiac disease. But if you had, say, a a way to combat pandemic influenza that was truly effective, the humanitarian the humanitarian side of the debate would win out, meaning you're not gonna be able to make a huge profit off of it, because if it's really needed, they're

gonna make it mass produce for everybody to save lives. Morally, it's correct, but there's a reason why the private sector doesn't get too excited about that, because the reason why the private sector spends a lot more money, for example, trying to cure things like baldness or yeah, dysfunction of certain male areas, a lot of money spending those, uh, those parts of the problem of then on things like how to beat the fluor or even the common cold.

So I know, hypochondriact. But coming out here for a second, but just everybody wash your hands. And if you get sick, stay home, don't go to work. And if you're near somebody who's sick, don't worry. I give you a past. Don't worry about being rude. Be like, I'm sorry, I gotta here, I gotta create some distance. Here a sneeze can go twenty feet, my friends, twenty feet those little particles of saliva with those little viral things in it. So be safe out there. Important safety tips from Buck.

All right, I'll be right back with Matt Walsh, gonna talk to us about college. Should you go? Should you go? We'll be right back with that, al right, everybody, before we can start to think about what's happening this weekend, We've got Matt Walsh with us on the line right now. He is a writer at The Daily Wire, also the author of the Matt Walsh Blog, and his book The Unholy Trinity is out in bookstores all over the place. Great to have you back, Matt. So talk to me

about this piece you wrote on on college. Because I'm a I'm somebody who went to a four year liberal arts school. Felt like it was at least two years too long. It was way too expensive, I'd say, of my peers didn't really do anything that would truthfully be called studying, uh and at any length of time. And I thought about going to grad school afterwards, and I was like, well, that's just crazy, because that's now two dollars in addition to it. What was your piece about?

Tell me about it? Now. Let's you know, I've been a I wouldn't call it. Some people call me anti college. I don't know if I call myself an anti college, but I've I'm anti the current system by which we we funnel. We just sort of automatically funnel every eighteen year old through the college education, you know, through the through your university system, without even thinking about it, as

if as if it's an absolute requirement for everybody. So I'm anti that, and I was thinking about it, uh this week, especially Beau that it dawned on me or I was informed really that, um, we were about to reach the landmark in in in our marriage where we're gonna finish paying off my wife's college loans, which I didn't go to college, but and she, you know, stay at home mom, so she's not quote using the degree. Um. But we've been paying it off our whole marriage and

we're almost done. So. But the fact that we have been paying off a degree that isn't being in any sort of actively used, is that just puts us in the same category. It's not a unique situation at all. Of course, this is the same situation that the majority of college graduates are in, where they are paying off

degrees that they haven't exactly used. And the number that I saw when I was researching the piece was, I think it's only about of college graduates are right now in a job related to their major, which is just a It was just just such a small as it's a crazy there's an incredible number, incredibly small. Um. So I just really think maybe it's time for us to

read to re reevaluate how we approach higher education. And so that's what the piece was about, Yeah, I have to say that the student loan debt and some people on in a bubble is at a trillion dollars right now. That's a lot of money by any account. That there's a trillion dollars of loans outstanding for people to have

gone to undergraduate and graduate programs in this country. And if you look at the expense of going to a college program today, with the exception of community college a little different, but any state or private college university today versus what it what it was thirty years ago. Matt. I mean, I don't know if you've had this experience.

My dad who was on scholarship all through high school, scholarship through college, but he would tell stories about helping at a at a boatyard over the summer to make money and he would actually be able to pay off like a semester or two by working over the summer. You would have to work for about thirty years at a summer job right now to put a dent in

a private four year college university. The costs are crazy, yeah, and then you and then you, so you look at how cost of skyrocketing and then in many of these schools which you alluded to, the quality of the education is declining, So there's just as the the gap right now between quality and cost is like it's like there's light years between them and a lot of these schools.

And when I say quality of the education, I think, um, that's not always about the institution itself, although often it is, but I think it it can also be about just the fact that you as as you talked about, it's possible to go to one of these schools and get a degree and leave without without ever having really learned

anything or done much studying. So the quality of education isn't always there, certainly not to justify the price and the increase in price, which is why for me it's And of course there are some people that need to go to a college, that legitimately need to go to a four year institution or even beyond that because I want to get in the medical field or a legal field, or they want to be an engineer and architect whatever.

So we all understand, of course you gotta go to college for that and for some other fields as well. But my point is that this is what if you're eighteen years old, you're getting out of high school and you're thinking about who I want to go to college or not, you should be able to complete this sentence. The sentence is I want to go to a four year institution so that I can blank and you should

have something there. And if if it's so that I can become a doctor, then great, But if it's if you if you don't really know what the what the what the blankets supposed to be, then I think the smartest thing is to don't go to a college right now. Maybe down the line you're going to one, but if you have no idea why you're going, then don't go.

And I think the craziest thing, this is what almost everyone does, and this is what they tell you to do, and this is what I was told to do when I was a nice school with my guy in sculpils. They'll say, well, if you don't know what you want to do, that's fine, just go to college anyway and then figure it out. You'll figure out when you're there.

So now you're talking about paying. You're telling these eight and year old kids with no money, no assets, no job, no resume, nothing to their name, you're telling them the post to to accept a lifetime of crushing debt on the theory on the hope that while that that this thing that they're purchasing down the line will come in andy and then while they after they're they're supposed to purchase it, and then after they just figure out what

they're gonna do with it. In what other scenario would we ever recommend that someone makes such a financial commitment like that. I think it's I think it's crazy and there's no reason to do it. If you, if you leave high school, get a job somewhere, go experience life, do some things, and then you decide that, hey, I want to be a doctor, Well you can go to school then, and so you're two years behind what your what your what your peers in high school are doing.

Who cares, it doesn't matter um At least, then you've cut out the risk of going and making this financial commitment which in the end will not do anything for you. And that's so it's a pretty good risk. Now we're speaking to Matt Walsh or the Matt Walsh Blog. He's a writer at The Daily or at Daily wire dot com, and his piece up there on this subject is, don't believe the lie. Kids. You don't need to go to

college and you probably shouldn't, you know, Matt. If I'm being honest about myself, I and I try to advise other people about this. If I had spent a year or two either working, we're serving, whether that's uh, serving your country in the military, serving as a missionary abroad, I mean, you know, or just a job where you have to show up, you get paid an amount of money, and then you start to see what that's like. I

would have approached college a little differently. It took me about two years before I decided, wait a second, this is a finite and I have the opportunity to learn a lot and do a lot here, and I was honestly taking it more seriously than a vast majority of my peers. I think that that's good advice for people.

And I remember there was a story about a guy a couple of years below me who was one of these kids who just showed up and just all he was doing was drinking, Matt, right, which is not unusual. There are a lot of people that go to these colleges and it's just drinking and party, and that's what they think college is. He actually failed out and his dad made him work as a toll collector. Completely honorable job, but you know, not necessarily the most stimulating of professions.

As a told both collector in New Jersey for a year before he would let him go back to school and help him pay for it. And apparently the kid came back a changed human being when it came to school work. Yeah, I think that's a girl. I wish that every if only every you know, eight nine general had had a parent like that, a dad like that.

But I think that, uh, you know, we talked about the college experience, and that's one of the arguments I hear in favor of just sending the kids in college no matter what is Well, it's for the it's for the experience. It's a great experience. I think the college experience is one of the worst things about college right now for in most cases, um and it's and I think for a lot of kids that's not going to be a formative experience that that teaches them about life

and helps them grow. And I think for something ken, but I think they're in the minority. More likely is yeah, someone goes and they're told collector, or they work a low wage job, or they do whatever, you know, as long as they're working and paying and taking care of themselves. In a big advocate for that, Um, when you're eighteen years old, just get out there in the world and

learn to take care of yourself a little bit. That's that's how you grow and learn about yourself and learn what your talents are, your skills are, your passions are, what your vocation is. Because the vast majority of eighteen your kids that come out of high school and they

have no idea about that. I didn't know about it either when I when I graduated at school, I didn't know what I was good at, what I was supposed to be doing, because unfortunately, the public school education system doesn't really the most kids, doesn't really help you sort that out, and they don't help you discover who you are because it's all about just just shuffling kids along this conveyor belt like system. So I think they need to get out there in the world and and and

and figure it out. And then the great thing is that if they decided I need to go to college, they're gonna go in as a not only as a more mature person, but they'll have a little bit of experience under the belt to have a little bit of a resume already, and they'll have a little bit of money too that they can go into college with, so

they're not going in broke. I just think this is obviously the best way to approach it, and I think I think what happens is that you have some parents who do not want their kids to do that, because I know it's not the case for all of them, but there are some parents who, even though this is clearly the best approach, there's some parents who don't want that because they're definitely afraid that their kid will go out into the world and then discovered they don't want

to go to college at all, and now the parent is going to be embarrassed that they have a kid that didn't go to college. And so for some parents it's kind of a vanity thing where they want their kids in college, not so much for the kid, but for themselves. I think that's a very profound insight, by the way, because Matt Matt, there's a lot of social pressure on parents to make sure and you'll even hear the stories, right, the first in my family to go

to college. That's a great that's all well and good, but it's something that that the parents feel very good about and you know, maybe it's a good idea. Maybe it's not to go to college. Yeah. Yeah, And and look, we all have desires and things for our kids, and we all want our kids to be educated, and a lot of parents really want that formal education something really important to them. And I'm not downplaying that at all.

I think it's a it's a fine goal for your kid, but um, at the end of the day, they're eighteen years older, an adult, and this has to be what's best for them and what they want to do it to some extent, and so there is that. There's you know, the social pressure that the kids feel in high school, except that I experienced where it's like they don't treat at least high school I went to it. I think this is pretty common. They basically tell you you're going

to college. Second option is the military. That that's okay. Maybe outside of that, it's like there's no other option. Yeah, you're like a space alien, like the guidance counselor doesn't even want to see you. Yeah, that same thing in my school. Matt Walsh, everybody check out his latest at daily wire dot com. He's also got a piece we didn't have time to get here today. But it's the folks who were vagina hats and call us tea baggers

are offended by Trump's vulgarity. Uh, excellent stuff there, go check it out a Daily wire dot com. Matt, have a great weekend, sir, Thank you, Thanks for sure. Then we're gonna roll into a quick break and we come back. I'm gonna talk to you about keeping one's dignity on a date, a little bit of free freedom hunt advice on a Friday, based on a story out of Dallas that I saw. We will talk about that. Uh, any last minute calls, let me no. Eight four four to

five eight four four nine buck. I'll be back with you in just a few minutes. You know, it's funny. I was talking to a colleague of mine today and we were discussing how sometimes a a business negotiation, you know, or a first business meeting. He was telling me a story and I said, you know, it kind of sounds

like a first date. You know, you want to be clear about what you want but not too eager, and you want to be interested but not too interested, And you know, you want to allow the other person to meet you halfway, and you know, there's sort of a similarity between the rhythm of being on a first date and the rhythm of a business negotiation, where you're not sure the deal is going to get done or not, or you're not sure you're gonna get what you want, and reminded me of how as somebody here in New

York City, we we get married a lot later than folks in the rest of the country. Uh, I know, I'm working on it. Everybody, don't worry, it's it's happening. But we get married I think an average, and on average, like twenty eight or twenty nine here is pretty standard for New York City. And so that means that most folks have gone on a lot of a lot of

first dates. And I've maybe one day I'll sit around on a Friday evening with some of you and tell you my funniest or perhaps most embarrassing or well, I guess it would be both first date stories. Mine are not amazing. I mean, I do remember once, many years ago, being on a date with a woman who told me on the first date that she writes a blog about all of the dates that she goes on, and that

was the only and I was respectful about it. And I wasn't brusk or or rude or anything, but that was the only date that I did not see through to the end. I was like, I'm this is not gonna work for me. This whole this, everything I say to you may end up on a blog. I'm not I'm not signing on for that. So we were just having coffee and I finished my coffee and went on my way. But you also have that that circumstance of you know, if it doesn't go your way, things don't

turn out the way you like. You always have to remember that dignity is the one thing that nobody can take from you but yourself. You know, it doesn't matter what happens. Someone else can be mean, they can be demeaning, they can be rude, they can be you know, crazy, whatever, But if you you choose whether or not on a date to maintain your dignity, which is also one of the reasons why as much as and I'm going to admit now that I watch used to watch a Bravo

show called The Millionaire Matchmaker. I know, I know, make fun of I deserve it. I deserve it. Laid on. You can send me the Facebook messages right now, you're like, bluck, your man card has been revoked. But you know, sometimes it was entertaining. But there was this woman on it, Patty, who was the host, and she would always say, only two drinks aloud, okay, and and that was the limit. For women who were at this mixer with were vice

versa for men to to drinks. That's it. It is a very good rule for a first date because the one time when you might find yourself not acting with the or the likeliest time for you to not act with the most dignity. I don't know, probably a pretty small percentage of those listening to this show right now are single, but I don't know, maybe it's about twenty

of you. And but the one thing is, if you get really drunk, dignity becomes a little tougher to hold onto if things don't go your way, meaning you know, you feel like this has been a bad date, and you know you're you're you wanna you wish it had gone better, and then you have to make that decision about Okay, I'm just gonna go home and shake hands and be very respectful and dignified and not you know, throw a tantrum, not you know, say anything snide on you know, not just try to you know, to take

a few pot shots on your way out, you know from the date. You know, that's that's you have a few drinks. It's more like it happened. Well, we have quite a good example of what allegedly can happen if you have too much to drink and you don't decide

to hang on to uh, dignity for very long. A woman back in December was on a date in Dallas and she she was apparently allegedly very intoxicated, and the guy she was on the date with brought her home and she quote shattered to twenty thou dollar sculptures and poured wine on paintings, including two Andy Warhol works, each valued at five hundred thousand dollars. She she allegedly did three hundred thousand dollars of damage to this guy's artwork

on a first date because she was drunk. And now she faces really you know, this actually gets serious, because she faces really serious criminal charges because of it. And it's just a reminder, you know, dignity is one of those things where you are the only person who can safeguard it. But the great thing is no one can take it from you. You have to let it go. And if a date's going badly and you're a little too lit up, that's when you know. That's what all of a sudden, as a guy, you say, you know,

you know it's wanna start talking about my exes. You know my ex girlfriend left me because no, no, no, hold onto your dignity. This day didn't go well, don't you You know, I'm just wondering, you know, why don't why don't you why don't you like me more? I mean, you know, I don't think you want to go out again? You know, no, no, no, no, hold on to that dignity.

And for the ladies out there, you don't want to be in a position where you've had like seven glasses of Chardon and you're like, oh that then Andy Warhol painting whoop thing drug a little bit white on it? Too bad? Stinks for you, ifter not fun on the date. Man, you don't want that either. That's bad, ladies, that's bad. So you don't want to be the guy who's why don't you like me more? And you don't want to be the girl who is falling over inner heels. I

have to say I've seen that. Like, I'm sure it's hard to work in those walk in those heels. I've never tried before. Um, But you know, dignity very important, very important for all, um. And I just this woman who allegedly did three hundred thousand dollars of damage to artwork on a first date is a is a reminder to drinks max if you want to drink anything at all, by the way, which is a whole separate discussion, and uh yeah, try to We've all got to keep it together.

We've all been there. We want to just tell somebody what we really think about them after that first date or whatever. But you know what, our mothers and fathers are, our grand pappies and grand mammies are, our families raised gentlemen and gentle ladies. And so we don't do that. I gotta gotta keep that dignity. All right. We're gonna get into some team buck roll call here in just a sex stay with me team. Our freestyle Friday is going to be coming to a close here in just

Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton if you want to send a message, Buck, you may want to include some punctuation in that description

of the Shields High podcast on I Heart Radio. There is currently nothing separating the subtitle from the first sentence of the description, so it reads like this quote the battles that saved Western Civilization from nationally syndicated radio host Buck Sexton. Uh, yeah, they had to save Western civilization from me A good point. At first they did a double take, and then I just laughed and wonder why you lost. Yeah, I should have won that fight. Way to keep it a D and not see Shields High.

Lieutenant Doug. Well, thank you very much, Lieutenant Doug, and we will get that addressed right away. We got Taylor here right and then I've officially run out of close friends and family to talk about the Buck Sexton show and Shields High. I'm now that weird guy walking up to strangers. Hey, check out this Buck sex and fella. I feel I need to make a more official handout, but my paper tear outs work for now. Do Taylor.

You're the man I am. I am humbled and honored and thank you for being a Team Bucks superstar and trying to spread the word It's the reason why the show is growing. It's the reason why people are like, Wow, this history podcast. It's it's really working. People want to hear this stuff. They want they want storytelling of our history. It's it's working. So please keep keep going, keep listening,

keep spreading the word. All right, we have next one Pablo, who writes in Hey, this is a few weeks after the Bucks Speaks question from Mike about a jacket for Korea coming from someone in Korea. A leather jacket isn't going to get it done. It is absolutely freezing right now and the only thing getting me through is a heavy down jacket I got from Pearl Harbor because I couldn't find one in Korea. Has the sharp aligned hood

has been a lifesaver. If only that global warming would start kicking in shields high well shield side of you, Pablo, and thank you for the update on uh cold weather coupture courtesy of Korea. Now. I got a note from Mary. I listened to your show every night. Last night I heard you talk about French women being against the women of America, bringing dirt against men. I don't understand how they can bring up things from thirty years ago, I'm angry that women climb over men this way. Well, Mary,

you know I've been worried all along about false accusations. Look, guilty party should be punished. Sexual harassments illegal, and sexual assault is a crime. But innocent until proven guilty isn't just a legal standard. It should also be something of a guiding concept for UH society at large. Right, it shouldn't just be an accusation, you know, verdict first, trial later.

That's not the way it's supposed to be, all right, And now we got one from Paul representing Team buck here with the following, Any chance you could do a debate with a liberal on your show, border Wall, Russia, collusion, or any other topic that would entertain us would be nice to hear how you compose yourself and separate from how stupid they sound and are. Thanks for your book list that you answered on air. Bought them all. Wishing

you and your team a great start to your year. Paul, Well, Paul, you know I would be happy to have a liberal on to discuss on this show any topic that would be of interest to this audience. I just have a hesitation because radio the moment that radio becomes too contentious. It's just a shouting match with nothing else. It's not even like on TV, where what they call cross talk is frustrating, but at least you can see something. On radio,

it just turns into a garbled mess. And really the host always has the the upper hand, which is why some of these radio shows really love it when someone calls in so they can go, yeah, it should up and they hang up on the guy or whatever, because you get to control the pace and the duration of the exchange, which is also why, for example, at CNN or some of the left wing media, left wing news outlets,

I would say, conservatives already a huge disadvantage. The deck is literally, well not literally, but the deck is actually stacked against them. So I would love too, but it would need to be a very particular kind of liberal, and I would need to trust that the liberal would want to exchange ideas and not get snide or nasty, because I really make a point on this show to avoid being to avoid being a jerk. I'm always disappointed there are some other hosts out there who are not nice,

and they're they're unkind to callers without reason. Not many, I'm just there are a few that come to mind, or they're just particularly nasty. They like to make fun of people's appearances a lot, things like that. I just never understand that. I think that's really that's not what this should be about, and you know, calling people stupid and things like that. I try to avoid that. I'm not perfect, but I try to avoid all that unnecessary negativity as much as possible. So debates, I'm open to it,

but it's it's tough on radio. I'll be honest with you, and I will just tell you that I'm somebody who has come up against this already in my career. They won't have me on the Bill mar Show because I'm uh to adept a debater, and there are concerns about how the rest of the panel will be able to handle me. And that's been true in other places too. That never had me on Anderson Cooper Show on CNN, would never have me on Jake Tapper Show on CNN.

They could only let me do Don Lemon Show, which just turns into a food fight and yelling and nastiness and as a joke, as you've seen the last couple of days. Because they don't want to put a prize fighter in the ring with little old me and have that prize fighter get knocked out. So that's always been a limitation for me, because I'll debate anybody. I mean, the last time they have me on MSNBC was six years ago, maybe yes, six years ago, very early in

my career. And it's because while I was still getting used to media on the merits, I smoked the person that I was supposed to debate, who was one of their prized on air pundits. So it's it's it's never as easy and straightforward as it seems to to get people to have a real robust conversation, all right, And now, as you can see, I have a lot of thoughts on that. Uh it's it's a frustration of mine in two ways. I'd like to have more debates with honest

and and uh reasonable intellectuals of the left. And also I think it's very indicative of how the left places they game that. I mean, I know for a fact that I've been barred from some invitations in media or banned, if you will, from some shows just because I'm I don't know what else to say, I'm too smart for the panel or the host. That's just the truth. I know. The producers that work on these different shows, and in a debate setting, they are worried about me, and they

should be because they would get Buck slapped. All right, now we have Susan writing in, Hey Buck, I'm not oss original Saturday Squad, but I've been listening to you for over a year, and thanks to you, I watched less and less TV. I listened to you instead. I also happened to be Hungarian, and last night I was very glad to hear one of your callers mentioned the

battle of nandor fa Harvar. I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea how to pronounce that, though he said the name of the Hungarian city sikest hair Var that I'm sorry, Guys, I'm much better with at least bumbling through German or even Arab names that I am with with Hungary, and this is way beyond me. That is also a very important city in our history. It used to be the capital of the Hungarian Kingdom in the

early centuries. I send you some info on this battle and also recommend the story of the Siege of Agair. Thank you for your hard work. Have a great weekend, Shields high well, Susan it's a great honor that you listen to this show over watching TV. I thank you very much for that, and also thank you for sending me this information. I am familiar, at least in broad strokes, with the fact that the Eastern European states were the ones during the period of the High Ottoman Empire, the

most powerful caliphate in history. They were on the front lines. They were the ones that were holding the line for Western civilization, Christianity, and Christendom against the conquest of Jihad. And that's going to be a major feature of the Shields High series when I get to it. We're gonna work through the Crusades first, because or at least the First Crusade, and then perhaps do a little bit more

beyond that because there's so much there. But I can't skip from the eighth century to the or fifteenth century without putting some context in the middle there, and you can't skip the Crusades if you're talking about cross versus Crescent conflict. But we will get into some of those major Eastern European battles, and I will look into the Siege of Aga on some of these other ones that you have brought to my attention. All right with that, I am gonna close up shop here in the hut.
