President Trump lays a SmackDown on globalists at the United Nations and make sure that everybody knows that he does plan to put America's interest first and he doesn't care what those assembled leaders think of it. Also, the allegations against

Kavanaugh seemed to be falling apart under further scrutiny. Will a third allegation emerge just in time to delay the hearing. We've got that and the latest on Rod Rosenstein and the possible Amendment removal soft coup coming up on the buck Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American. Again,

the Buck sex To Show begins. No, I honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs, and traditions. The United States will not tell you how to live, or work or worship. We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return. That's right, folks, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. President Trump at the U n and just saying, look, we we believe in our own sovereignty. We believe that this nation we the American people, believe that this nation is first and foremost

four Americans, and it is our primary concern. Our own polity, our own political family, matters more than any consortium of leaders and bureaucrats around the world. Sorry, United Nations, by whether you went should be in like some in the Pacific somewhere, you know, let them all just to send there instead of blocking traffic in New York City, in my hometown, we just don't need it in the right Brandon blocks the traffic. It's not cool. We don't we

don't need that. But you know, it was interesting to see the way that some of the assembled presidents and prime ministers and despots and all the rest of the the the assorted big players on the world stage responded. I mean, I mean, here, here's a clip that got a lot of attention today when the remember the U n you and general assemblies happened this week, so you know, all the different member nations show up and lots of meetings, great chance for journalists to speak to the Prime minister

of you know, Derka, Derkistan. And here is what Trump said at one point, and they laughed. But I have a feeling that you my friends and the rest of the American people who actually care about this country, not laughing play thirty best than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country. America's so true. I didn't expect that reaction, But that's okay. America's economy is booming like never before.

Since my election. We've added ten trillion dollars in wealth. The stock market is at an all time high in history, and jobless claims are at a fifty year low. President Trump in in his sweet spot there he he says something that is he's right in line with his thinking, which is that he is administration's accomplished a lot. I would note that a lot of what he has accomplished is undoing the add decision making of the previous administration

on Iran, on regulations, on the economy, on taxes. That's progress, folks. Undoing obama Ism is progress, and liberals and the left hate him for it, but it is definitely a good thing, something to be celebrated. Now, you'll note that the rest of the world, maybe a lot of these foreign countries, who, by the way, look at the United States with no shortage of envy and feel quite a bit, you know, depending on the country, feel quite a bit. You know,

why are they so successful, prosperous, free and happy? And you know our country, our country stinks. That's right. There are crappy countries in the world. The president will actually say it sometimes it's true. That doesn't mean the people from that country are crappy, but there are crappy governments. What is North Korea not a crappy country? Is that the game we play? Now? No, there's a whole you know.

You you start at the very top, there's you know, America and Western European countries, in Japan and Australia and you know countries, but things are great, and then you work your way all the way down. You end up in the crappy countries and they get to show up at the u N too, and you know, they have their reasons and rationalizations for why they're not doing as well as other countries. But when the presidents referring to accomplishing a lot, he doesn't mean the Paris Climate Treaty,

which was nonsense. He doesn't mean the kind of things that are gonna get him a standing ovation at the u N. He doesn't mean getting a Nobel Peace Prize just for being Trump. Oh you remember that with Obama. Thank you for being Obama. It's amazing. Here's your Nobel Peace Prize. Even Obama was embarrassed I think by that a little bit, not totally, but a little bit because

it was embarrassing. They should have been embarrassed. Joke. But the president speaking about all that's been accomplished for the American people in this country where he is actually president. You always got the sense that Obama aspired to be president of the world. Trump just wants to be president of America for eight years, do his best, and then go back to doing whatever the heck he wants, playing a lot of golf, do whatever he feels like. That's

that's Trump's gool. And remaking American politics in the process and reshaping the political landscape in ways that has taken a wrecking ball to the establishment in many ways, not as much as I would like, but in many ways um and has finally put us on an even footing when it comes to the fights with the propagandistic left wing media. Trump had some other good stuff to say as well. We withdrew from the Human Rights Council and

we will not return until real reform is enacted. For similar reasons, the United States will provide no support and recognition to the International Criminal Court as far as America is concerned. The i c C has no jurisdiction, no legitimacy, and no authority. The i c C claims near universal jurisdiction over the citizens of every country, violating all principles of justice, fairness, and due process. We will never surrender

America's sovereignty to an unelected, unaccountable global bureaucracy. America is governed by Americans. We reject the ideology of globalism, and we embraced the doctrine of patriotism. America is governed by Americans. We embrace patriotism. Those are things that you would assume

any president saying them, all Americans would unite behind. But of course for Trump to say that at the United Nations, the left and the so called intelligentsia and the international international community bureaucrats, they feel like that's a slap in the face. There is this mentality, this ideology of a one world government. People call it cosmopolitanism sometimes, and it has become commonplace among progressives, especially the international relations scholar

set right. The people that are work at the State Department are working international media outlets, places like CNN and an NBC that have a more global footprint, and you know, they really think of them as more citizens of the world. We're citizens of the world. No, no, that's not true. We're not citizens of the world. We are citizens of this country. I care about what's going on in this country.

I mean as a human being. Obviously you care about progress and suffering and all those things the rest of the world. But you can only worry about the politics going on here first and foremost. Everything else is a distant, distant second. This is almost revolutionary thinking to come from a president. It feels like right now, but that's really just a commentary on what was going on with the previous presidency. It should in no way feel revolutionary to us,

but it does. Why is that? Oh, that's right, because we've been through eight years of Obama, who went to the United Nations and said things like the future will not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. One of the most bizarre and unsettling things a commander in chief of this country has ever said. First of all, he's not a theologian. He shouldn't be picking sides about any religion or any religious dispute. It was. It was

just outrageous. But they all clapped. They all clapped because Obama, you know, they have to clap for him. I think the President has done a very good job so far at the United Nations by being who he is and speaking his mind. And maybe, and this is my hope for other countries. You see, I want good things to happen for all people. As a conservative, the the basic entity that we are concerned with our individual human beings,

their rights, their dignity. I want all human beings to live in freedom and prosperity and have uh you know, rule of law, and I want everybody to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I can't ensure it for everybody, though, I can only work here in short, in this country. But what we can do as Americans is promote through our own country such a and obviously beneficial and and positive model for the rest of the world to follow on their own accord. Because that's the

only way it will really work. That we have an effect, and we already are having this effect all the time. I mean, I wanted to write a book and I actually talked to a publisher about it a year or two ago, and uh, they they, I'll be totally frankly, they bailed on the idea, which was amazing to me because it would have been a great book. But then I got caught up in other things. But it's really just on how awesome is how awesome America is for

the rest of the world. And after all the bowing to foreign leaders and the criticizing of a America and the confronting the you know, the bad parts of our history that we had for eight years, to have a president who's like, you know, the world really benefits from us in so many ways that sure we want to hear their opinion. Sure we have allies and great countries that are really like like family members to us when it comes to the nations of the world, right, I mean,

there are countries that feel like family. But America's our first,

is our first and greatest concern. And a president who is willing to come forward and say that not only is America the priority for the people living here, but also the rest of the world wouldn't be It wouldn't be too much to ask for a hey, you guys are pretty great once in a while, instead of complaining about our foreign policy and complaining about you know, our our either cultural appropriation or cultural imperialism, and I think

American American and cultural cultural imperialism most parts of the good thing. The more of our stuff that other countries can can take, the better, especially in terms of the way we approach rule of law and um which is why this debate over Cavana, which by the way, we're going to dive deep into that today. The latest on it, I mean, the whole thing is a con it's a smear. These people are lying or they're delusional, and I've been saying this all along, and it's it's more clear than ever.

But I'll get into those details. Don't think we're not gonna spend time on that today. We certainly will. But I wanted to give a moment to the president today at the United Nations UM and and also note that this is a presidency that does not have a an almost unhealthy focus on foreign policy and foreign conflicts. The president, who you'll notice is not getting us entangled in in wars that we don't have to be in, is not constantly meddling in the foreign affairs of other countries in

ways that don't affect us interests directly. And we're really having conversations about about America first, if you will, as a country, and that's that's a good thing. You know. I don't really need to sit here and get into fierce debates with people about whether we're training the free Syrian Army properly in Syria or not, as we did on the obamaministration. The answer was no, we were not.

But you know, there are other things for us to be focused on, and Trump is doing that and he's you know, they laugh, they laugh when he says he's doing great things. And the great thing about Trump is he laughs right back. He's like, yeah, you guys, remember when Obama made fun of me at that comedy dinner and then I came back, took his job, and uh, basically pulled apart his legacy. Right. I don't think the UN members should just be, you know, yucking it up

at Trump's expense. Not that he's gonna do anything bad to them, but I think that some of them who who are laughing not with him but at him, they will they will have to look back on this and say, wow, we really underestimated this commander in chief, this leader of the free world. That's what I thing's gonna happen. We

believe survivors. Let my wife's throw We believe survivor. He's forgotten Ted Cruise and Frid Cabins having off for caving off for women's rights, for right of every marginalized community kids.

Tell Carna very in a minute, that was at a restaurant here in TC, blocks from where I'm currently doing this show, where Ted Cruz was trying to have dinner with his wife like a normal person trying to have dinner with his wife, and this group smashed racism d C tracks him down, mobs him in the restaurant, gets up in his face, and causes a confrontation. My friends,

one day this is going to turn into violence. And I can tell you this, if any of these punks ever showed up around me or some of the people that I know in this business and we were with a significant other they started yelling in my face, I would take that as a threat, and if I feel threatened, I would respond, and all of a sudden this would get out of control very quickly. What they did to the center is a disgrace. But these people are disgusting.

And what you see is that liberalism now really is very close to leftists. True progressive believers have something on the on the line of of a mental health issue, I mean, a real disorder, and they view progressive ideology as some kind of outlet for their rage because it's just not normal. Normal, healthy, socialized people do not show up at restaurants and scream it's strangers for no reason, okay,

and there's no reason to scream at Ted Cruise. They have nothing, and they said, really, we didn't play all it because it's no need to. But they said really nasty stuff they comment on his appearance, and it reminds me the CNN audience. I used to go on CNN, and a lot of people watching CNN are you know, nice, normal people. They don't realize how bias CN is because

they don't pay that much attention. But there's a good core of CNN watchers who are just a bunch of savages, a bunch of left wing you know, if they're dudes, they're beta male, basement dwelling maniacs. And there's a lot of that out there. And the people that did this the Ted cruise. It just makes me so angry. This does not happen both ways. This is not a two way street, whether it's Antifa or these uh, these leftist smash racism. I mean they're chasing a Latino out of

a restaurant with his wife to smash racism. That's the group is called smash racism. I mean they probably should be called you know, smash i q s because they're all morons. But this is what they do. And you'll notice, do think they're gonna cover this much on on the on CNN, these other networks, on MSNBC. No, No, they're not gonna spend any time on this. They should be

embarrassed by this, but they're not. They view this as, you know, they're vanguard, their frontline ideological troops, making a play to get some attention. That's all I see this as I don't ever want to hear the left whine about Trump is phil mean, he's look what he says to journalists. Remember a couple of months ago, when the biggest problem in the country for a couple of days, Trump is still mean to journalists. He's eroding the First Amendment.

A bunch of cry babies. I told you so at the time, and I was right, And you know I was right a bunch of cry babies. Oh it's so hard for using people are making some of the millions of dollars to do a job that any third rate male model could do. Oh you know, here I am outside of the Trump is mean to me and so sad. Journalism. Also, the thing about journalism is journalism is basically just a conversation. Now, it's just a it's just a form of communication where

we can all anybody can be a journalist. You got access to the internet, you can publish stuff. If people read it, hey you're a journalist. It doesn't really matter. And journalism as a concept doesn't hold water the way it used to. And and certainly journalism as nonpartisan, unbiased, I mean, that's a complete joke. But and back to this, I I just it keeps happening. It happens here in d C. And it's one of the reasons why I get to speak to all of you. I'm behind enemy

lines here, folks. You are my lifeline to sanity. You every night, all of you listening to this show. Because the crazies that I deal with, you know, on the streets here. They're chasing after Ted Cruz. They're everywhere in this city, and a lot of them work for different government agencies and bureaucracies, which is pretty scary. All right, everybody, let's play a game. What is the dumbest thing that

has been said on CNN all week? Not pop up up, don't just jump in and start throwing out I know and I can do that too. They've probably been a lot of very very stupid things said on CNN recently, but I have to that I think are the incredible Hulk and the Thing, if you will, I mean, this is a this is Batman versus Superman. This is a clash of titanic stupidity on CNN for the the dumbest

comments that I've heard recently. That there's a lot of others that could certain Like, I mean, we could always throw in some gurgling with Gurgan bird nuction for Reagan, impeachment nuction Reagan. There's a lot of that we could throw in there. But I want to get to to a couple that just blew my mind. I'm gonna put this one in the number two slot. I'm gonna get this the runner up dumbest thing I've heard on CNN. Uh, and it's from Simone Sanders. Was this on the on

the Tapper panel. Tapper loves to have lots of really very unimpressive analysts on his panel for a guy who takes himself quite seriously. But here here's what was said on the panel. I don't even know who this analyst is. PLAIP twelve the senim a joining leader calling this a smear campaign is uh? Is a is a small dog whistle to the base of the Republican Party, maybe even Trump's base, talking about the suggesting that he doesn't believe

these women. No, No, it's it's not a a dog whistle. Um. A dog whistle is something that you're hoping only some people here. When you call this a smear campaign, CNN political analyst, you are flatly saying this is not to be believed. This, this is not credible. The people making the allegations are doing so for political reasons. They are lying. That's not a dog whistle. You know, if I go to the store and I say, hey, I would like to buy some hamburger meat, that's not a dog whistle

that I would like to actually buy some hot dog. No, it's a request to buy hamburger meat. I just I don't think she understands what a a dog whistle is um. Or maybe she's so used to talking about dog whistles on TV and having everybody think that that's that's great that she throws in them. But I just want to help her out. It's not a dog whistle when he calls it a smear campaign, it is straight up a whistle, meaning everybody can hear it. I mean, he's saying this

is crap. He is blowing the whistle on this, and I am glad. Wow. She served as national press secretary for Bernie Sanders Man. It was not a not an intelligent comment. I don't know this person is um. But then you had and this wasn't from a political person. This was one of these segments where I saw people commenting on her on social media just in reference to it, and I thought, come on, it can't really be what people are saying it was. It can't actually be that

that stupid. There's no way that somebody would go on TV and do this. It turns out no, no, it was that bad. You had a legal analyst going on CNN on Brooke Baldwin Show, who I like Brooks. She's a very nice lady. I know her a little bit socially that I haven't seen her in a couple of years, and and I think that she generally tries to do a pretty a pretty even handed job on this stuff.

But she um had this person on who is supposed to be a legal expert of some kind, and here is what was said, play clip twenty nine, please and I And it's it's disturbing to me because during the break, I'm scrolling through Twitter, and I'm looking at people actually saying and applauding the judge in the sentence and then

in the same breath wanting to defend Kavanaugh. And and it's it's disturbing to me because again, like Riva said, this is a monumental, defining moment this week when you have someone like Coffee going to prison and then in the same breath, having Kavanaugh possibly going to the highest court in the land. And so anyone that's defending Kavanaugh could not in the same breath now applaud this um jury for or this uh, this verdict that the judge is handed down in the same breath. That just doesn't

make any sense. Yeah, this is somebody who is a former prosecutor, folks, who apparently doesn't understand the very basic idea in our legal system of the presumption of innocence, innocidential proven guilty, or even just you know, having some due process or basic logic and reasoning. All of that seems to be abandoned here. All of that is pushed pushed aside in favor of scoring some cheap political points for an audience. I mean, the CNN audience, I can

assure you, is a bunch of rabid Kavanaugh haters. And that was one of the reasons why I stopped doing CNN. I realized at some point, and I really mean this, I didn't respect the audience and I didn't like that. I don't like doing something like that on a regular basis. Is when I was a contributor there, I was paid to be a political commentator at CNN national security analyst, but I didn't like it because I knew that when

I was talking, I didn't respect the audience. You know, I come onto this show every night and one of the things that motivates me is I think I have the best and then I remember says, oh, I think I have the best audience, but I really do. I mean, I am inspired by the people listen to this show. Uh, They've supported me for years. They've shown tremendous humor and kindness and humility and have taught me so much over the years that I've been doing the Bucks Exton Show,

and I come to this show every night. I gotta I gotta give this audience is or the best I can give them every single night. When I was at CNN, quite honestly, I kind of wanted to end every segment by flipping them the double bird to the audience. Hey are you sitting at home? Double bird? There you go take that one, Brandon. Isn't that what it's called? You flip the bird? Right? I'm not Yeah, that's what it's called,

all right. Or a bronx is a bronx salute the one finger, No, that one finger salutes the middle finger. The bronx salute is like when you make a like a noise. Right, do we know you guys are in New York? What do you got for me? Yeah? I haven't heard of the bronx. I think bronx cheer bronx. That's what I was thinking of. But when you google Bronx salute, actually the picture comes up of a New York Yankee given the middle finger. Well, there you go.

You're onto something there, so I'm not. I'm not as crazy as I thought I was onto something. But this, let's just let's just pull this apart for a second. That Cosby who has had I mean, producer, Mike, what's the number? Fifty sixty women? I mean it's you know, it's a it's like a full you know, uh, you know, it's a full football roster. Is worth the people. It's like fifty or sixty people have accused this guy of

sexual assault of some kind. I mean eight of dozens and dozens of women, and they all have basically the same story. He slipped something in my drink, or he gave me some drugs and then he took advantage of me. There's a sixty actually has a complete list of the sixty. Cosby astonishing Bill Clinton, I mean Bill whoops, that was freudy. And Bill Clinton is a serial rapist, That's what I was about to say. But no, he's just a one

off rapist and a sexual abuser and sexual assaulter. But but Cosby is a serial sexual predator who has had all this evidence presented against him, a lot of it from and remember and he was an adult and these were adults, and this was you know, stretching back in some cases, you know, a couple of decades, but the specifics were never in question. He did know these women,

he was at these places with them. There's mountains of evidence against this guy, and he was just afforded the right to a trial by jury and he was found guilty. To compare that activity that he engaged in and that process that he was given in any way to what Kavanaugh has been put through right now and what's going on with the Kavana situation is a monumental idiocy. It is aggressively stupid, and there's a lot of aggressively stupid

out there right now. I think that the biggest thing that I was getting attacked for because I've been very vocal on social media, on Twitter and specifically in defensive Kavanaugh from the beginning that I've been and you know, producer Mike knows, because I've been setting up it's you know, people are gonna come at me, but they and they have, but I have been all in on this is BS Derek this is a hit. And I know you know this,

but not everybody. Now people have woken up a little bit on the more woke, you could say, on the on the conservative side. But I from the beginning I smelled the rat. I smelled the rat. No way, this was legit. And what I keep seeing in my my mens as they say, I mean the responses to me, and I mean from from Blue Check. Oh, I'm so big and serious journalists a lot of them, and people with followings, you know, Soli Dad O'Brien and people like that. You know, do you remember who she is, Mike? You

remember her? She had the worst morning show I think ever put on TV. Absolutely I do. I mean her Her morning show was. Her morning show was like the the jar jar Binks of morning shows. And my old friend Will Caine, who, by the way, God bless him, is doing great, really well at ESPN building out a radio show there. I'm so happy for all the success put I used to feel bad he had to sit on this panel with Sola Dad and you know, just

kind of deal with her every day. And she was the host, so it wasn't like he was a co host. And man, that was rough anyway, she's terrible. She and others have come after me, and they keep refew referring to Kavanaugh as a rapist. And I see here, and I go, do I have to be the one who points out that nobody says he's raped anybody, nobody that that has never even been alleged. Rape is a specific physical act of illegal uh, physical penetration. Okay, that is

what rape is. Rape is not, you know, I I, uh, you know, pulled my pants down for a second at a fraternity party. You know that's not rape. It may be indecent exposure. I'm not saying it's okay, maybe criminal, but it's not rape. And you'll you'll notice that there's such a uh, such a frenzy, a frenzy on this to just try and paint Kavanaugh in some way as a rapist, I mean to try and create the association in people's minds that Kavanaugh is talked about in the

same category as Bill Cosby. I mean to talk about Kavanaugh in the same category as Bill Cosby, to speak about them in the same sentence, in the way that this woman on National TV, given airtime on on CNN that she did is really ethically and morally. No different from referring to somebody who allegedly, um, you know, allegedly punched somebody in the face, to somebody who's a a you know, mass murderer. You know, so assault, I mean, right,

punching somebody would be assault. And I'm talking about the allegation from his college years. We expose themselves, right, but I mean assault. Okay, that's not okay, that's a crime. It's an allegation. But there's a lot of difference between an allegation of assault and being a mass murderer. Bill Cosby is a serial rapist. In the dozens and dozens and dozens to speak about him in the same sentence as if if everything that has been alleged about Kavanaugh

so far it's true and it is not. These women are lying. I will say it to you in plain English, because that's the kind of relationship we have. They are lying, or there's another possibility they believe what they are saying, but they are delusional, or their their memories have faded into a near delusion where they think something happened and it did not. You know, I actually I want to spend a little more time on that notion. Uh in just a moment. Let let me let me hit a

quick pause here, team. I want to tell you more about this, uh memory and what we know about memory as it affects people's ability to identify accusers, and how it plays out in the criminal justice system, because I think there's some very interesting stuff on this and it's not getting no surprise, not getting nearly enough attention from the media, and it's very relevant to our conversations about what's really going on here with Kavanaugh. So I've got

that coming up. Stay with me, you know, I was just in the break. I'm talking to producer Mike here, and I'm not gonna say that I am an honorary member of Dirsh's legal advisory squad or something, but for some reason, the DIRSH and I are always kind of on the same wavelength. I I I'm about to start telling you about the Innocence Project Act and what liberals usually say about memory, and producer Mike is like, but you know, you know that I can get you audio

of DIRSH talking about this. Alan Dershowitz for those who don't know, we call him the DIRSH, just like you know, I try to call Joe Concho my buddy, my my hill colleague, the conch. I don't think he likes it. I don't know. I don't he hasn't really taken to it. And if somebody doesn't like their nickname, I have a rule. Even if they kind of make an offhand remark about you know, I don't really like you, gotta stop. But here's here's what the dirsh the durst likes it. I've

said it to him before. Here's what he thinks about memory. When it comes to criminal cases, play it. It depends on how tough the lawyer is in his cross examination of the accuser. And he must be or she must be tough. She can't just be allowed to say, well, I thought about it, then I didn't remember it, and then it took me six days to reconstruct my memory.

A good cross examining lawyer has to be gender free, has to raise the same kinds of tough questions about repressed memory and how to reconstruct memory, and exactly what she was told by whom she was told it, who made suggestions to her? How did her memory improve over time? We know that biologically memories don't improve over time. They received over time. How did her memory get so much

better over six days of briefing with her lawyer. That is a subject of appropriate cross examination, and any woman or man who was afraid to be tough in cross examining her or cross examining him should not have that job. Hey, the Dirsh is wrong on some stuff. He's a big lib. He hates the Second Amendment. There's some things where he's way off. But man, if I ever got into a scrap,

I'd want the Dirsh to be my counsel. I gotta tell you of all the of all the TV lawyers, a producer, Mike, let me, let me ask, who's your friend? You can get any TV lawyer to be your guy. You're you're you're caught in Alabama for a murder you did not commit when you were robbing a store and it turns out they checked the tire treads because you're your cousin. And you know how the story ends. Um, who's your Who's your TV lawyer? Though, man, real life,

real life TV lawyer. Yeah, it has to be the DRS. You go the Dirsh. Yeah, I think so too. It's definitely not Avanati. You'd end up in like a Turkish prison. You get said something, you get sent to you can send a git Mo Avanati were your lawyer, you would not want that. But but here's here's what I wanted to get into with you. And and I'm actually I don't even have as much time as as I wanted

on this one. UM, And so you know what, maybe maybe I'll I'll extend this a little bit into the I'll extend this a little bit into the next the next hour. Let's let's plan on doing that. But he here's the very short version. Memory does get worse over time.

All of these different UH structural defenses that you have in a normal proceeding, the right to UH cross examine, the right to confront the accuser, the right to you know, to outside council UH, the ability to question memory, the ability to question those are all being swept aside because they're saying it's not a criminal proceeding, but it's about a criminal action. So they want a political consequence for a criminal action that they allege without any ability to

defend it through normal criminal defense procedure. That's what the capital hearing is supposed to turn into. And on the question of memory specifically, UH, there are some ways in which you can look at this and maybe the women think they're telling the truth, but they're not. That's not unprecedented at all. In fact, it happens with some frequency. I will tell you more about that in just a moment. I start my day the same way every day, with a cup of delicious Black Rifle coffee. Black Rifle is

incredibly high quality stuff. I mean, Black Rifle is delicious. Okay. It is small batch, roach to order coffee. It also is a company run by veterans. In fact, the founders of Black Rifle Coffee are friends of mine, and they are veterans of the Special Operations communities. These guys love patriotism, freedom,

America and really delicious coffee. Why buy coffee from a bunch of comedies who don't support your values, don't care about this country the way that you do, and honestly, very unlikely their coffee tastes as good I've even got. Don't tell anybody some of the progressives I work with in d C drinking Black Rifle, not even because they support the message, but because the coffee is so good. Try for yourself. It'll be your coffee. Black Rifle Coffee

dot com slash buck. You get fifteen percent off your first order again Black Rifle Coffee dot Com slash Buck Team, go check it out. You have met her. We did not travel on the same social circles. She was not a friend, not someone I knew. You don't remember every being at parties with her? Ever, I do not. And this is an allegation about a party in the summer of two at a house near Connecticut Avenue in East West Highway with five people present. I was never at

any such party. The other people who are alleged to be present have said they do not remember any such party. A woman who was present, another woman who was present, who is Dr Ford's lifelong friend, has said she doesn't know me and never remembers being at a party with me at any time in her life. I never did any such thing. Never did any such thing. The other people alleged to be there, I don't recall any such thing. If such a thing had happened, it would have been

the talk of campus. The women I knew in college and the men I knew in college says, it's inconceivable that I could have done such a thing. And then New York Times is reported that just last week, the person making the accusation was calling other classmates saying she was not sure that I had done this again again, just asking for a fair process where I can be heard and I can defend my integrity. People generally in

high school. I think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school and regret or cringe a bit. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about allegation of sexual assault. I've never sexually assaulted anyone. I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter. And the girls from the schools I went to, and I, uh, we're saying that all through all these

years that are in question, you were a virgin. That's correct. Never has sexual intercourse with anyone in high school? Correct? And through what years in college? Since we're proving into your personal years many years after I'll leave it at that, many years after. That was a pretty good rundown of what you got from that exclusive interview that Martha McCallum had last night with Judge Kavanaugh. Notice how people keep preferring him as Brett Kavanaugh on the media and Dr

Ford that's that's not an accident. Folks, Kavanaugh's credentials if we're gonna go there. I know this is a little point, but but just keep it in mind when you're hearing all this coverage Kavanaughs. Kavanaughs credentials and academic background far exceed hers, but he is always referred to by certain people of media's Brett Kavanaugh, Brett Kavanaugh. And she's always doctor or Ford. I mean, she's professor Ford. He just

like psychology, sociology at some California school. Okay, fine, but you know, I I noticed all these little things in the reportage of this, and and we should we should call it out. You should be aware of it because they're they're trying to get you to make certain distinctions about all this. But bottom line, folks, this is all a con. This is all a hit. In fact, President

Trump called it a combra. Do we have that, producer, Mike, He finally came out and said, it's a straight up Cohn, which I was very We'll get it, all right, We'll we'll grab that. Oh we got it. Here here's here's the president hit it. I think he's just a wonderful human being. I mean, I think it's horrible. What the Democrats have done. It's an they're really kind of honest, just they're trying to convince. You know, they don't they don't believe it themselves. Okay, they know he's a high

quality president. They don't believe him. It's just resist and obstruct, resist and obstruct a hundred percent correct. The President is spot on here. Okay. I think the President is doing a phenomenal job of and has shown a tremendous amount of restraint on this issue given everything else that's going on. I think the President has been really um impressive thus far. And now he's reacted under the circumstances to because he could have just gone off the handle and crazy tweets

and everything else. No, No, he understands the stakes here. He knows he knows that a lot of conservatives and and I mean traditional you know, evangelical and and uh you know conservative socially Christians voted for Trump understanding the stakes here, and the Supreme Court was at the center of that. So he knows, he gets it, and he knows the Cavanal is a good man, and most importantly, he knows this is all bull. It is all complete bull.

It is just complete bull. Crap, and we need to understand that and and not allow them to bully us into doubting ourselves on this Kavanaugh. And so that's why I love. It's a con. It is a con, the whole thing. I am. I was certain day one. I'm I'm nine and certain. Now. I mean, you know, theoretically aliens could land and tell me that they had a time machine, and you know, maybe this, I mean, that's why it's you know, because to borrow from zero dark thirty,

you know, certainty freaks people out. But I'm sure this is a god and Trump came out and said it, and God bless him for it. All right, He's completely correct here, But a few important things from Kavanaughs. Kavanaughs denial, and but he noticed on his denial, it's not a Keith Allison denial. It's not a Rosenstein denying that he was going to use the amendment to take this president out of office. To know, I mean, it's a it is a straight up no way, no, how absolute no.

But he put out some markers. He's very very smart, all right. I mean Kavanaugh to become a d C. Circuit judge, to be his level in the legal profession, and he's not getting it because you know, he's you know, his mommy or daddy wrote a big check. He's not getting it because he's the right ethnicity for the job. Right,

He's getting because you're wicked smart. He understands that he is setting up very specific allegations, or rather very specific markers, not allegations, of that the person making these allegations has to be careful that she doesn't trip on. For example, what he says that he was a virgin all throughout

high school. Now he is asking for people to believe that this guy, with an impeccable record his entire life, not only all of a sudden, decided to hold the girl down, rip off her bathing suit, raper and and just I mean completely throw away his life in the process, right, I mean, yeah, he would have been you know, scum, deserve to go to prison had he done that. He did not. But let's also remember, but that is a thing that you just forgotta you know, hold the woman down.

I mean, he is his life is over that he would just do that and be a virgin. Now I'm not saying that's impossible. I don't want to, you know, yell at me and say, oh, but but Buck, you know this is I've heard of this story where no, no, it's highly highly unlikely. Though, Okay, a an aggressive, violent sexual predator who has never had sex before and is a teenage boy who is otherwise well adjusted and happy and loving family would be quite a stretch. And it

also goes to show you how he's willing. He's willing to talk about anything in order to get to the truth here. I mean, he's willing to stand and fight, but he also is going to expose himself. Pardon the turn of phrase there, but he's going to be willing to show a side of himself in this process. Um that is embarrassing. He will go even further. By the way, I don't mean that it's embarrassing that he's a virgin.

It's not at all. It's embarrassing that he has to talk about his teenage sex life on national TV as a soon to be hopefully Supreme Court judge. Don't even get me started. I mean, there's a whole I would advocate for. And I know it's easy to say that now, but you know, my my basic advice would be, you know, wait as long as you can, and you know, wait till college if you can, you know, if anybody was

asking me, But that's a whole other discussion. And wait till marriage if you can, but at least at least until you're a fully functioning adult, you know, or close to it in college. Um, so that's an aside. But Kavanaugh then also I had to discussed drinking and partying.

And you know, see this is part of the of the trial of so called rape culture on campus or the frat bro rape culture on campus, frat bro for a fraternity brother, and he had to speak about this because this this was another that came up play for Was there ever a time that you drank so much that you couldn't remember what happened the night before that never happened. You never said to anyone, I don't remember

anything about last night that did not happen. Did you ever have any sense that any kind of the description of the behavior that I just described with these, you know, women being taken into rooms and raped or having sex with a number of men, consensual or otherwise, that that was going on at the parties that you were at.

I never saw any such thing, any such thing. I certainly never participate in any such thing, but I never saw or heard of any such thing, and we we were I was focused on trying to be number one in my class and being captain to the varsity basketball team, in doing my service projects, going to church. The vast majority of time I spent in high school was studying or focused on sports and being a good friend to the boys and the girls that I was friends with.

We have these great lifelong friendships. Everything about this guy comes across as a good guy. And you know what you really got a sense of from that interview last night. I think the left hates him even more because deep down they know he's a good guy. It isn't just about Row, though. It's primarily about the threat that he poses as a good guy by the way to Row versus Wade, and it's really a threat to planned parenthood v. Casey.

But that's a whole another time. We can get into that. Um, it's much more likely that abortion rights would be truncated than entirely overturned to begin with, I'm sorry that I used a term abortion rights abortion, but they always call

it abortion rights. Uh. But you know, you also really get the sense that they hate this guy because he does actually treat women so well because he is a constitutional conservative who has advanced women throughout their careers, because he's a good guy, and he is everything that the beta males at Vox and think progress in these places who are all, oh a huff Post and CNN, a lot of these beta males. And I gotta tell you something, and you know, I'm just gonna say it, and I

don't really care about the fact that this is. This would really you know, tick some people off. Um, when I was in college and some guys, you know, we're getting a little a little grabby with a girl or you know, or things are out of line. It was, in my experience, the alpha male conservatives who were the ones that actually would step in and say, hey, you know,

show some respect, or hey, back off. It was the the the you know, the random Republican from the lacrosse team who would say, hey, take your hand off or whatever. Remember just this is totally anecdotal, but I mean, I can tell you this, if somebody was actually getting hands e with a a woman at a fraternity party, you would have much rather had buck sex did in the room. Then as reclined in the room to defend her honor.

That much. I can promise you, you you know Klein and his ILK, if they would, they would absolutely they would file a report with the Dean. I'd actually step in and do something about it. And I actually have a I mean, I can tell you stories. I have a background of having to step in and occasionally do something about it. You know, the buck can be surprisingly fierce when challenged, kind of like a honey badger. But I just I wanted to share that with you. For a

brief moment, I got more on these allegations. Why are they reporting on rumors as though they're really Oh, in the memory, I didn't even get into the memory. You know what, we'll do memory when we come back the truth about memory when it comes to witnesses. I know, I lost track of that for a moment, and then well, isn't that doesn't that tell you something? I lost track

of my memory segment? And then we'll discuss these allegations that are really rumors being reported as as news stories and questions of or issues of fact when they are not. That's coming up and the face of multiple allegations against Judge kavan Or, the FBI should reopen the background check investigation, and we should conduct a hearing where the appropriate witnesses are called in respect given both to the accuser and the accused. Anything less will be reviewed will be viewed

by the American people. And I believe judged by history as a stain on Republicans in the Senate and a stain on the integrity of the Majesty of the Supreme Court. Well, I think Chuck Schumer's a stain. So there's that. Uh. But this notion the FBI should reopen the investigation. You know, we we have heard liberals talk about many times about how eyewitness testimony is unreliable. Usually this is when they are using DNA evidence via the Innocence Project to get

people off for various crimes. Uh. And and sometimes to get people off like in the case of the Central Park jog is where I think it's I think the exoneration is incredibly dubious. But we know that memory fades over time. And one of the recurring themes that you can see from from different cases where someone has been has been wrongly convicted, which does happen and is terrible. It's one of the worst things in a society that

prides itself on justice and law and order. One of the worst things that can happen is the state locking you up, taking away your freedom, ruining your life with no cause. So that's why you know better that this notion we have of better a number of guilty go free than one innocent man goes to prison. I think that's very important for us. But this this this idea that memory will improve, or that that that the second accuser here, Ramirez, spent six days talking to her lawyers,

and that that kind of jobs. Remember her lawyers weren't there. They don't know anything. So her lawyers are helping her reconstruct the memory or the lawyers trying to understand what her risk of defamation is, meaning could she be legally liable or could she get caught perjuring herself based on these memories that she's saying. Also very noteworthy of the

New York Time. Well, I'll get into the reporting on this in a moment after the break, But it is a it is a constant in the files of the Innocence Project and these other groups that try to overturn sentences that people get sent away for life, sometimes put on death row based on eyewitness testimony. That is wrong and it's not that the eyewitness was lying, that the eyewitness misremembered. In fact, there are cases. There was a case that was written about recently where a young girl

was grabbed by two guys. So you know, here we'll talk about a very horrific, very real sexual assault. Grabbed by two guys. They took her driving. She had been at a party. She was I think sixteen or seventeen. They were roughly her age, and they sexually assaulted her, and she she went to the police right away. She said that one of the two guys was the wrong guy. She identified somebody who was at the party with a hundred other people while she was out driving with the

two other guys. But she was traumatized. And so that can happen right away, you're gonna tell me that thirty years later. This woman who says she's not sure, I'm talking now about the exposure one. Never mind, I think it's also possible for blass Ford. But the one who says she's not even sure if it was Kavanaugh, and we're supposed to take this is some kind of a real allegation. We're supposed to take this is something that is merits FBI investigation. No, when it comes to innocence.

On the left, they will challenge eyewitness testimony in so many ways, and and in many cases rightfully so. But now they'll pretend that eyewitness testimony that's not even eyewitness testimony is sacrosanct. Right, you cannot challenge that this is all there needs to be. They the women in question here, the two women accusers with very shaky stories, and they're referring to additional people as witnesses who heard a rumor that maybe kind of sounded like this. That's not witnessing anything.

That's a rumor, and rumors are, as we all know, from being normal human beings, often false and based on nothing. But this is all part of the strategy, It is all part of the con It is is a smear tactic, as we know, uh moral mission and the way that they've constructed these allegations in just a moment, actually has this been uh for the girls? For your family? What what have you guys? Give us whatever window you feel comfortable of saying about what this has been like for

you as a family. This it's very difficult, it's very difficult to have these conversations with their children, which we've had to have um, some broader terms for our youngest, but they know it's bread and they know the truth, and we told them at the very beginning of this process this will be not fun. Sometimes you're going to hear things that people feel strongly, and you need to know that. And just remember, you know your dad. She's

receiving death threats. That is the wife of Judge Kavanaugh. She is receiving death threats, as are her children. We often hear about the accusers death threats, meaning the death threats against the accusers. We do not hear nearly as much about the death threats against Kavanaugh's family, including his

his young kids. It goes without saying anyone who would make a death threat to to to anybody that they do not know and do not have, you know, yeah, what I would I make a death threat to somebody if they were you know, an imminent harmed or imminent threat to someone in my family. Sure, but that's what a normal person would do. And anyone it makes a death threat against a public figure over politics is a ycopath.

Anybody who does it. It's I'm amazed at how much now because the Internet age we live in, people do this all the time. And it's disgusting. But then again, there are Blue Check journalist running around calling Kavanaugh rapist, which he's not even accused of doing. Why don't they just say Kavanaugh is also a spy for the Russians.

I mean, they're just making stuff up. But if we're going to look at, you know, the the collateral damage here of the left's maniacal anti Kavanaugh strategy, we should at least be willing to talk about what it's doing to his family as well. And I've been so pleased to see. I mean a lot of a lot of conservatives, including some who are not typically big defenders of the Trump administration, but they've just been They've just been warriors on this issue. I mean, you know, the Shields High

Club on Kavanaugh. You know, Matt Walsh, uh and Culter obviously, Ben Shapiro, you know, David Harsani at the Federals, Molly Hemingway at the Federalists has been lightening it up. Shawn Davis also, I mean, the whole bunch of folks, the Federalist I mean, just you know, the people have been really my buddy Betty John's Benny Johnson over at the Daily Caller that they've been spitting fire on this, and I'm so because you're you're you're putting put yourself out there,

my friends. The the opposition, as we know from what's been going on recently, will play so dirty and they're looking to take out anybody who stands in their way. But there are there is real harm that is being done by the people that are pushing these on these lines, and they're they're ruining people's peace of mind, They're ruining their lives. And the only way to prevent that is if Kavanaugh prevails here, meaning that the that the only way that we're not gonna have lives ruin is of

Kavanaugh receives justice. And I was I was very pleased to see him say that. You know, he's he's absolutely going anywhere place six. I'm not gonna let false accusations try us out of this process, and um, you know, we're looking for a fair process where I could be heard and defend the my integrity, my lifelong record, my lifelong record of promoting dignity and equality for women, starting with the women who knew me when I was fourteen

years old. I'm not going anywhere. That's what I like to hear he's been put through hell, but he's got his shield and it's up high on this. Uh. By the way, this story that was the second one to break, which I can never think of Ronan Pharaoh's reporting the same way because now he's he's he's a leftist, I mean, he's also willing to be. That doesn't mean that he doesn't report true things, folks. I'm not saying all the other reports weren't great. And you know that there are Look,

there are plenty of very left wing reporters. I had one on On Rising recently who did interesting work on on private prisons, and I agree with him. I mean, and he did really good work on it. I mean, just because your ideology is one thing or another doesn't mean that you're never telling the truth and never right. But you know, I I gotta say that some of the stuff that we've seen here from the from the New York Times, the Washington Post, even for them, it's disgusting.

I mean, even for my expectations of how they would approach this. You know, the New York Times, for example, gave this a kind of auxiliary report, this addendum to the Roman Pharaoh reporting. And Pharaoh has been very defensive about it. But the at the end of the day, he was not able to corroborate key details that you would need. Two And he rushed out the report because he knows that the time and timing is everything. So he turned himself into an oppo researcher. That's what he did.

I mean, people can argue about it, but they're wrong. That's what he did. On the New York Times though, and and on Ramirez, I thought this was really interesting. Um, I thought this was something that you know, how did they get around this one? Uh, the witness that's supposed to be the corroboration here is not really a witness. Play place thirteen place Jane, the corroborating witness, which he says has all the details, including Kavanaugh's name, Where did

that winn has come from? And where did that witness get the information about this from? If if that person doesn't know Ramirez, Uh, he remembers it from from He was in the same dorm, same same little building on Yale's old campus, and he remembers it clearly. I asked him, you know, because he's gonna be very careful. No, as I've said, he heard it from someone who was there. That's hold hold on, hold positive positive. That's called a rumor. He heard it from someone who was there, That is

called a rumor. Was it one of the incredibly drunk people who was at this little gathering. That's not reporting, folks, that's rumormongering. It's just not so. Not only, I mean this is key. Not only are they willing to say that the that the preponderance of the evidence has to be in Kavanaugh's favor um, not all are they willing to say that the uh, that it's on him to prove his innocence, which is the opposite of what it's

supposed to be. They're also willing to change basic journalistic standards. I mean, this is folks. Everything is out the window. Everything gets pushed aside because that's how important this is the left. There are no rules right now. But you can say, well, Buck, why you know they're they could storm, You know that they could like mobs the Senate, and and that they could. Why why aren't they engaging just an out right violence, although with Ted Cruz came coming

pretty close. Uh, And I would say, well, that's because it would be politically counter their interest to do that, right, They still have to maintain some facade of agreeing with the institutions in the process. Here they're not willing to go the still day quite yet. Here, you know, they're not willing to storm government buildings or anything, because that would work against them. They don't want to tear the

government down. They want to control the government, and they want to use propaganda, lies, and smear tactics to do so.

They're not going to assault the government. And obviously, although I'm concerned and I have been truly concerned about Judge kavanaugh safety in this whole process, I think that they recognize that anybody on the left who was such a zealot that they would even consider something so horrific as to his to attempt violence against the Supreme Court nominee would destroy any good faith that center people in the center and on the right could ever have towards the

left when it comes to the Supreme Court for for centuries, I mean, it would be gone. So that's the only thing that I believe, So the only outer limits of what the progressives are willing to do here. It's not there's no level of dishonor they won't stoop too. There's no level of lies. They won't stoop too, They just won't necessarily engage in in violence or in an acts of of destruction, you know, physical destruction because it would

hurt their interests. Um, but they'll they'll light reporting standards on fire like it's a pire. I didn't really mean for that to rhyme, but it did. But you know that they'll just to make a bonfire of journalistic standers. There we go. That's way better, way better. That's the kind of stuff that they're willing to engage in here because it's so important to them. They think so much rides on this. Sorry, and then we had Roman Ronan pharaoh as well. I can continue that clip. We had more.

Why did she come forward? She came forward because Senate Democrats again looking at this claim. She came forward because Senate Democrats were looking at this claim. So did Senate Democrats contact her? Senate Democrats oppo research jogged her memory all of a sudden. Nobody believes this is credible. Nobody

thinks that. I want to say nobody. I mean that anyone with a rational functioning mind on this issue, who would approach it without all the heated politics of Oh my gosh, he's gonna overturn Roe v. Wade would say, this is if this isn't a lightweight allegation in terms of the evidence, what is someone did something to me? Can you tell us where, when, how, who? Any you know this person did this thing. I can't tell you when exactly had happened. I didn't tell any of the time.

There's no evidence that I kept it quiet for a very very long time. Now I understand this is where a lot of people would come out and say, oh, but Buck, this is um you know. The this is when we'll hear about people that won't talk about there. They're they're terrible, uh you know, they're repressed memory and and how it's you know, after a serioussault. You know, we have to separate these two things out for a moment.

I I have a hard time believing that a college aged woman who was drunk and had a man exposed himself for a moment, was so traumatized by that mere sight, which is what we are saying, that she wouldn't tell anyone about it. She wouldn't tell campus administrators about it, She wouldn't anything in the universe of that kind of conduct.

And everybody that works on a college campus even the eighties would have come right to her side and you know, and there would have been severe punishment I think for the individual involved. And you know, but I don't believe that she was. I'm just telling you what I believe. I don't believe she's so traumatized by that. Well, think about what we're talking about here, the sight of the of a of you know, the male organ. Uh, my

understanding is he didn't actually touch her. That would be a slightly different allegation, but my understanding is that he kind of showed her. Whoever this individual was, it was not Brett Kavanaugh. I do not believe that. Uh. And by the way, people say back, well, how can you say you don't believe because I've actually looked at the evidence and there's a lot of evidence that this is bull. If the evidence changes, then I won't believe it's bull.

The other side says, there's an accusation with no evidence and they believe it. So, you know, we're supposed to sit around and say, well, let's wait for all the evidence to come in before we come to a judgment. No, there's lots of evidence. The evidence says these women are either lying or they believe something that's not true. So that's that's where we are on this um oh and Ronan Pharaoh's thing. I just want to note, you know that the timing of this. I'm gonna tell you this

right now. I almost tweeted this out today and then I didn't because I figured maybe'n getting ahead of myself, because I think Avanati has there's some stuff being said about Avanati's third claim, right he's representing somebody's making the third claim that makes me think that we're not that

that might not be it. But I would not be surprised if some very very vague because it's so flimsy allegation emerges Thursday in the morning, or maybe Wednesday night, but Wednesday night or Thursday morning, just in time to uh deep six the hearing to just you know, to

push off this hearing on Thursday. And you know what else, I wouldn't be surprised by if the Democrats and their media lackeys, or do I have it backwards, the media and their Democrat lackeys claim that this is just well, it's just you know, the good detective work that everyone's doing on this. Now they're gonna act like This isn't orchestrated that it's all a coincidence and we're all just a bunch of huge morons who can't figure out what's really going on here. You know, folks, this is this

is what we were up against. This is how the other side plays the game. Is something you've got it, It's something you gotta um. They have embraced evil with this. They may not recognize it as such, but that's what has happened, and so we are fighting back against evil. I'm not aware of any cabinet members that are even talking about that. It is completely and totally absurd. No discussion with me about the amendment anywhere either. So you can now report that there are two senior leaders that

have said that your statement, your question was ludicrous. If it's so ludicrous, why did the Deputy Attorney General have discussions about it behind the scenes. I find I find the question ludicrous. I've been involved. I've been at the center of this administration along with lots of other folks for uh, from virtually day one, I think it was

actually day three or four. I've never heard anyone talk about a whisper about it, joke about it in any way I've been in a lot of meetings with a lot of senior officials from this government, juice slapping down this nonsense about the twenty at the moment, I mean, I gotta say, who has been telling you all along? The Pompeios A rock star producer, Mike, I've been pro I've been the pro Pompeo camp since before it was cool. Yes, thank you, sir, thank you. I mean, this guy is legit.

He's the real deal. Nicky Haley also good. But you know, I know people are saying buck Nicky Haley. Four. I hear that. I hear that. Look, if if she if she does well with this administration, if she's if she plays ball with Trump on policy and doesn't get caught up in you know, all the all the media love that she's getting at least too caught up too soon, then yeah, I could see that as well. But first of all, anytime anybody calls an Accosta question ludicrous, they've

got my vote. So you start with that. I love that that he's just like, your question is ludicrous, man, you know, And that's the way we need to start referring to these imbeciles, you know, instead of saying, oh, my gosh, like you really believe what the president is lamentarian candidate for the Kremlin and for Russia's be like, how do you are? You such a fool? You're such a clown. This is when I was talking talking to the President about this in the Oval office. That's his attitude.

He's like, these people are out of their minds. They are out of their minds. The ones who think that I had some plot with Putin, do Facebook puppets and and do some online I mean, really think of the level of risk and also the level of sophistication of the communication plan just to get that going that it

would have required. It's just it's complete nonsense. By the way, Papadopolis you heard it here first, folks, Papadopopolis is coming out saying he wants stuff declassified because when you when you see what they knew about Papadopolis, I'm telling you and producer Mike, we should cut this as a segment to hold for later because I'm this is gonna be

and I told you so. When you see what the federal government knew about Papadopolis, I mean, what the FBI and d through through their surveillance of the Trump campaign that they even pretended for a moment, you know, many many months later, that he was a legitimate national security in Trace said, oh yeah, Papadopoulos was the reason to get this investigation started. They should be embarrassed and ashamed.

What I've been told is that, and this is all very you know, it's still very sensitive, not yet not yet out there. But they had information on Popadopolis that was exculpatory in terms of Russia collusion, meaning he had he had no interest in Russia collusion at all, and they held it. That is a cardinal sin. For a federal prosecutor or, for any federal agency to withhold exculpatory evidence against the U. S. Citizen in any kind of

an investigative or criminal proceeding. That's as dirty and gross as it gets. I think that happened. I think Rod Rosenstein knows, and they're desperate to keep this stuff out of the public eye. But the twenty five Amendment, you know, this is how you gotta deal with these anti Trumper's, my friends. You gotta just you gotta just start to say,

you know what, man, you're you're just nuts. I can't even really engage too deep in this conversation because you're not making any sense, you're not living in the real world, and you're just pursuing a political agenda at the expense of your own credibility and and and any anything that anybody could ever construe as being reasonable. But we have more Rosenstein. Let's talk about the latest on Rosenstein that's coming up. Google engages in political censorship, Facebook engages in

political censorship, Twitter ditto. Okay, how many of these platforms have to be out it as places where there's left wing politics at work before we all realize that we should start building our own we should start going somewhere else. I've talked to you about it before on the show, and guess what now, I've partnered up with a company that really is doing it, snippy dot com. Snippy dot com is a new social media platform where there is

no censorship, there's no conversational health monitoring. You get to post, you get to engage with people, post photos, write your own stuff, follow writers you like, whatever it is that you wanted you to share your thoughts because you should be heard and you shouldn't have to worry about shadow banning or being pulled off of somebody's list, or any of the other stuff that's going on snippy dot com.

Totally free to join, free to post all free stuff snippy dot com check it out team legally Ron Rosen Rod Rosenstein was at the center, he of firing Comy with his letter, and yet Mueller is investigating the firing Comy, which is indirectly investigating himself. He signed a fist, a warrant that's going to come up under somebody's investigation. He was the adjudicator of information that was released by the d o J to the House Intelligence Committee and other committees.

He was involved in Uranium one and he saw no collusion. Yet he's basically entrusting Mueller to look for collusion where it wasn't. He was in the Hilly email scandal, and yet he said that there was no violation of confidentiality or classified information. Yet he helped get an indictment against General Cartwright for that for leaking. So he's got a lot of conflict of interest. And I think that Donald Trump should just say, you know, Rod, you're doing a

great job. There's thousands of things you can do at the Justice Department, but you're not going to get yourself into a situation where you have these conflict of interests. If you want to resign and go write a book where Michael Wolfe and Alma Rossa left off, go ahead, but we like you just do something else, but you're not going to be involved in the state anymore. And

that would be a lot better than firing him. We're pushing very hard to make sure that he comes in under oath to Congress and UH and let the American people judge for themselves. I can tell you that if he does not UH, there are a number of us that are standing by really with impeachment documents and said we cannot have this kind of activity continue at d J. Rosenstein.

Rod Rosenstein a a case in point of why you cannot allow Democrat hacked lawyers who are appointed to positions of power by Obama to stay behind in very prominent positions of authority in the Department of Justice with a Republican president period, but more than any other president this one, it simply cannot be allowed to happen again. Um, there has to be a full political house cleaning with these

kinds of sensitive positions. You know, if you want to leave behind some some Bernie Sanders supporting priest drivers in the Department of Commerce. That's your call. But Rosenstein and uh and some of these others that we've seen in the so called hashtag resistance are a reminder of how important it is to have the right people in the

right places for a new administration. Rosenstein should be fired in terms of his performance, but he should not be fired because we don't want to turn him into a martyr. You know, this is what we've been discussing this week, and that's definitely the case. Anie McCarthy over at National Review has some really and look, Andy, we wanted to have Andy on it. He's been very busy lately, but we always reach out whenever I talked about one of

his articles. Uh, you know, I think Andy's as good as it gets in the game of of analyzing this stuff. Obviously other people realize that too, not just National Review with Fox News. I mean, he's doing a great job and really helping the country. I mean we have a greater understanding of these things because of a lot of Andy's research and writing. And he just crushes Rosenstein in a piece day. I mean, he absolutely it's actually from

two days ago, absolutely crushes him. Rod Rosenstein's resistance is the piece weasel words, weasel moves from an emotionally overwrought deputy Attorney general eager to ingratiate himself with Democrats. And he writes Rod Rosenstein and is even a weasel when repudiating his weasel moves. Here is the Deputy Attorney General's non denial denial of a New York Times report Friday

that he brainstormed about ousting President Trump in May. Of The New York Times story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. He says, I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the Department on advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this, based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the amendment.

And then Andy goes into parts this little bit and this is really interesting, and he writes the Time story is inaccurate and factually incorrect. Rosenstein won't say exactly what is wrong in the report. He is careful not to say the gist of the report is wrong. He just hopes that if he sounds indignant enough, you will hear it. That way, the Times may have gotten a few details wrong, but you can bet the stories essentially true. You can't

trust anonymous sources. This from the guy who, in approving a Fizer warrant application to spy on an American political campaign, relied on anonymous sources, some of them Russian operatives, who were channeling information through a foreign spy from whom the Justice Department continued to take information even after telling a federal court that the spy had been cut out of the investigation for leaking to the media. And my favorite, Rosenstein knows there is no basis to invoke the twenty

fifth Amendment against President Trump. Of course, that does not respond to what the Times report actually says, which is that back in May of seventeen, he was an emotional wreck because Democrats were being mean to him. Rosenstein urged that there might at that time be a basis to remove the president under the twenty fifth Amendment if he could get enough top officials to agree that Trump was unfit to discharge his duties. Um, and then, I mean Andy goes on into some length here, but he here.

Here are the highlights about why Rosenstein is basically somebody who never should have had this job, and his and his and as a resistance figure. Uh, you know, it comes to grousing about Trump's unfitness. Why are tapping the president, invoking the twenty five Amendment, appeasing democratic demands for a special counsel um an investigation supported by the Steel dossier.

I mean, you look at all of these things, and what you find is that Rosenstein is at the center of all the ills that have been deviled the Trump administration regarding Russia collusion, that that Rosenstein himself is much to blame here for a lot of what has gone on, a lot of what we have seen when it comes

to the the the Russia collusion fantasy. And yet he cannot be fired because of the way he has bureaucratic the manu for to this position where if he is fired, people will say that Trump is obstructing the Department of Justice. What a waste for the country. Uh and what a real what real damage he has done here all because of what what is so terrible about Trump? Again, they talk about his his gruffness, his lack of decorum, his vulgarity, his comments that really bothers them so much that they

think that they should weaponize the Department of Justice. That they should create a I mean, we are, we are entering an American now, my friends, were the only institution of government power that has not been thoroughly politicized is the military, everything else, FBI, d O J. Supreme Court. I mean, you know, go down. I'm talking about the

non elected. Obviously, the politicians that we elect, they're going to be politicians, right, But I mean the the institutions that are supposed to be above politics, the institutions that are supposed to be about more than just short term political gain when you look at them, when you look

at what has happened since Trump became president. One of the legacies of the Obama administration is too so deeply radicalize people that were in the government bureaucracy into this activist, progressivist, my progressive mindset that they couldn't help themselves but use whatever power they had in government to try and oppose policies and oppose a politician they didn't like. It is

such a disgrace and it's so destructive. And really the great irony of the Trump administration so far is that people who have been complaining about how Trump is undermining institutions, which is you'll hear this all the time. This is a talking point that you'll constantly here. Those same people are doing more to undermine institut tuitions than Trump could have ever dreamed of. Any politically charged investigation that goes before the FBI now is suspect, and it should be.

And that's not a legacy of Trump, that's a legacy of Obama and the progressive left. Background investigations can be tricky business. You need the right answers, obviously, and you need them pretty quickly. And if you have any questions about a difficult case of somebody that you're gonna hire, is this person really uh credential the way they say, Do they have any problems with the law that they're not telling us about any any lawsuits in their background?

You need to be able to get somebody on the phone who will talk to you right away about the issue and resolve that. That's Global Verification Network, my friends. Global Verification is run by a veteran CEO who is a friend of mine, and he is the best in the business. You should go check out for yourself the kinds of cases the Global Verification handles. They do not outsource anything. They don't say and anything overseas. They don't say any of information overseas. This for any of your

background investigations or vetting, is what you want. Go to my GVN dot com or call eight seven seven six five eleven seventy nine. That's eight seven seven six nine five s nine. Are millennials saving marriage. Some of you may be chuckling right now, but I've got data to back this up. Don't start. Don't start your laughter. Gen X and gen Y and baby boomers listening to this show, don't you start your chuck laying. Okay, I've got I've got the numbers here. Peace On Bloomberg gets into this

in some detail. Millennials have caused the divorce rate to drop by almost twenty between two thousand and eight and twenty sixteen. In a sense, I'm talking about a subject that I have zero expertise in and many of you

know much more about than I do. Is I am not yet and never have been married, But I do have some thoughts on this, especially as I see what's happened among my own my own peer group, and you know, there's different rates of marriage across across the country by region or different age ranges for marriage and people marry later.

For example, in New York City, I think for guys, the average is close to thirty one or thirty two now in New York City, whereas if you go into you know, Oklahoma, I think it's closer to you know, twenty three or twenty four. I'm just guessing about that second number. I don't know for sure, but Bloomberg has crunched the numbers here. And here's what I see going on. Um, you have people who have seen what's going on their

parents generation. For one, the Boomer generation had a tremendous amount of divorce, as we know, and in fact, it almost became a uh, it almost became kind of normal for people to get married two three times now. Putting aside, I'm not getting into any of the religious or or ethical considerations, you know, I'm not here to judge and on that stuff. And as I said, I've never married, I don't know, but I do know this marriage, based on everything that I've been told, including from talking to

divorce lawyers about this is very expensive when it ends. Uh. And as a means of destroying wealth short of a gambling addiction or having a life threatening disease. Uh, divorces right up there. So it's a very bad financial decision to get married and then get divorced, especially once you started doing this a few times. I mean, I always thinking about somebody like Larry King, who still thinks, by the way, that either he should be brought back out

of retirement. You know, hey, I'm the only guy that can ask answer the question or asked the questions. He doesn't answer them, he asked them. Uh, he still thinks that he should make some kind of an appearance on the scene. You know, we we just won't. We just won't be able to get the answers we need without Larry King. I mean, these guys that that whole generation I'll say, I mean the explosion of mass media for and the timing of it for folks like Dan rather

than Larry King. Some of you might disagree that these guys are all really mediocritis who just were in the right place at the right time. I know that would be considered, uh within the media business, you know, sacrilege, but it's really not. They aren't particularly impressive. They just happen to be the guys, and they were really in the right place at the right time. And there are many others. I mean, I'm not just picking on those two.

There there are a whole lot of them where you could say people would call them pioneers, and I would just want to say, well, you know, there's there's pioneers, and then there's people that just happen to get lucky. You know, some people strike gold just when they think they're going to, you know, dig the hole for the outhouse, you know what I mean. So with divorce, when we see Larry King had seven marriages, why I brought him up? And I'm always always thought that must have been really

rough to make those uh alimony payments. Although I don't know, maybe he signed a lot of what Brandon, what do you call them? Pre nups? Thank you? Um, he might have signed a lot of pre nups. I think once you get to wife number six, you're probably like, you know what, I might have my lawyers take a look at this. But this is a big social chance, this drop in in the divorce rate, and and it it all it's it's there's some very good stuff about this

and very not so good stuff about this. On the good stuff side, I would say, obviously this means there are fewer people that are having the wealth wealth destruction of divorce, and then also yes, the pain of divorce for the people involved, and of course when they are children and the families, and you know, I saw this, I didn't realize how damaging it was some of my

friends growing up I had. I had a good number of friends whose parents got divorced in in our grammar school years, you know, in early in high school, and it was ugly. But I didn't realize the impact that it had on some of their psyches until later on. I mean, I have friends that are now in there, they're mid thirties, and I can tell they're still kind of haunted by some of the stuff that happened in

those divorces. Uh. But but we saw this stuff happen, and I think that now there's a much greater recognition of how long lasting those those ill effects can be from a very nat from a very nasty divorce. So that's for one. Also, you have all these celebrities who are married Larry King, there are many others married three, four or five times. You know, once you get to three and up start to wonder like, maybe maybe don't go the whole marriage out. I don't know, I don't know.

Maybe I shouldn't judge, but it feels like three is a lot. It feels like three is probably, you know, maybe maybe maybe a time to just date for a while and see how things go. I don't know, But then I've never been married, so you know, I don't I don't speak of what I know here. Uh Boomers. By the way, I don't want to. I don't want to bash any boomers because we have a lot of boomers. To listen to this show. My parents are boomers, so

the people I love most in the whole world are boomers. Um. But uh, Gray divorce is a phenomenon of the boomer generation as well, where people fifty five to sixty four get divorced, and that doubled from the generation above them and the baby boomer generation. So not only do you have a lot of divorce among the boomers, you had a lot of you know, divorce in basically pre retirement age among boomers, which is kind of interesting. But then you get to what I'm seeing going on with my

peer group, and that is marriage as almost a luxury. Good. Now, let me explain, marriage for a lot of people is getting it's later on, and it's after education is finished. It's after people have really gotten established in their careers. This is where you get into your early thirties and urban areas. Getting married in your early thirties for guys is now standard. For for ladies, it's a little more like in the late twenties still, but for guys mid

thirties all the way up into the late thirties. So, believe it or not, yours truly not as much of an odd duck. Buck is not as much of an odd duck as you might think, well, at least on this issue. But it's also now the case that younger, less educated, poorer people who are having children are less and less likely to be married. An older, more stable financially and more established people are the ones who are

getting married and staying married. So you know, there there's definitely the clear upside here, like we don't people getting you know, you don't want people getting divorced. I think that marriage has gone through a I think that the Boomers basically took marriage to the brink of extinction in some ways. I mean they're not extinction, okay, fine, but they they made it something that people didn't take quite

as seriously as any generation before that. Uh, and now it seems to be rebounding a bit with the millennials. But we've gone through a period here where no one really takes that till death to us part seriously the way they used to. You know, on the left, for sure, conservatives tend to be married and tend to stay married a little different for us, but liberals view marriage as

almost like leasing an apartment. It's really Ah, yes, there's some financial obligations, but it's a somewhat temporary state of affairs. And I just wonder what the long term implications are here. And the fact that people are getting married later, staying married longer, and in higher percentages is good, but that you have poorer and you know that the less affluent, less educated folks aren't getting married at all. Ever, Uh, that is a big destabilizing factor. And I think that's

going to happen, very long term negative implications. So again it's somebody with no marriage expertise. Those are my thoughts on marriage. Be sure to light me up in the Facebook comments Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. Some of you may recall that I have a particular hatred for mosquitoes. I just I think mosquitoes should not exist. They have killed more people than any other animal in the history

of our species. We are really fighting a constant war against mosquitoes, both in terms of the spread of disease right malaria and dengey and zekea and you know, West Nile virus, all this different stuff you get from mosquitoes. Malaria still kills huge numbers of people around the world

every year. And and also just because they're annoying. I will never forget in New York City, in my tiny studio apartment getting eaten alive when I was trying to go to sleep by a mosquito, and it uh kept me up all night because when I try to fall sleep and it would land on me right when I was, you know, about to sleep and would start eating me and make my hands itch. And I managed to use my reading light like a flashlight and smack it against

the wall and kill this thing. And it was one of the happiest moments that I could remember in recent memory at that time. It was really because it took me about three hours to get this guy. Anyway, I hate mosquitoes. And you're saying, Buck, why are you telling me this story? It's a dumb story. I know it's late in the show. I know you're probably, you know, a little run down because you work like a maniac.

Your show Rising is incredible given that you have to deal with progressive and left wing stuff all the time. How do you do it? Anyway? I'm telling you about it because there's a news story here. And I've discussed with you in the past that if I had my way, we would, in fact, uh find a way to eliminate mosquito from the face of the earth. That turns out that there is a way to genetically modify mosquitoes. Good news,

my friends. Courtesy of NPR. Here there is a gene editing tool known as Crisper that can engineer mosquitoes with a gene drive which transmits a sterilizing mutation. And once they release these mosquitoes with this mutation into cages filled with unmodified mosquitoes, all the insects were wiped out. That all the insects um this could be a way to use mosquitoes to kill all the other mosquitoes. And I think this is awesome. And I know people are gonna say, oh,

birds eat them and whatever. You know what, there's a lot of species out there. I am anti mosquito. I think we should eradicate all of them, and now science hashtag science may make it possible. With all this, we've got roll call coming up. Rock and roll, fellow atriots. We made ours go up to eleven. It's time for roll call, all right. You know what it is. It's roll call. That's because we got the cool intro to

make it all happen. Facebook dot com, slash buck sex and if you want to be a part of this party, Ray, First up in our session, Buck, do you recall when all the damn's left d C for recess, which allowed many judges et cetera to be appointed. Now, I'm curious who showed up at their get togethers plotting this Kavanaugh Tobacco was the accuser. They're great shows. Well, Ray, I

like that you're thinking outside the box. And I can't say that I I know um much about what you're talking about, but thank you for writing in and nice to hear from you. All right, Amy, Right, here's the deal, Buck, I believe something happened to Blasi Ford, and she has likely convinced herself that some good can come from that awful experience. If she can take out a conservative Supreme Court justice nominee. She knows it wasn't Kavanaugh, and she

has no intention of testifying under oath. Her testimony was carefully crafted to be indefensible by the accused. This is why they omitted time place, et cetera. Blasi Ford is at least intelligent enough to know that testifying under oath would be a very bad idea for her because something she would need to say would cause her to perjure herself. Her testimony obviously cannot stand up to any scrutiny, or she would be doing the stormy Daniel's routine. And let's

be honest about things. The d n C, after witnessing the success of the Me too movement, decided that the political climate was right for these types of accusations. They are grooming potential accusers. Uh, and there we have it. Amy, thank you for writing in um. Yes, it's me too. Was destined to be weaponized. In fact, I was thinking yesterday a bit about how if somebody was to go back into the archives of this show they would find that I was worried about when this would go too

far or be used for political purposes. Very early on, I mean right around the time that the Weinstein allegations came out, I guess a year ago, because it was inevitable once you have a political movement like this that has so much attention, and that also drives corporate and therefore financial decision making. Remember, people are getting fired. Stock share price has gone down because people like Les Moonvest

have gotten ousted or under investigation. So there have been real consequences for this movement beyond just either just just for the victims and well justice for the accused in some of these cases like Weinstein, where justice means he gets sent to prison. But yes, I knew that they would eventually reach a point where they weaponized it, and I think we are there. Um all right, now we have uh Peter who writes, Hey, Buck, I appreciate your

strong stand on the issue of abortion. Kavanaugh. I've seen it suggested online that in addition to being a professor, Blasi Ford also works or work for the abortion drug maker UH Concept Therapeutics or Corcept Therapeutics. I saw a picture of a biography page that had a listed probably from a conference. Also, Debbie Ramirez, the other accuser, worked for a liberal nonprofit safe house Progressive Alliance for Nonviolence pretty logical. The politics unlikely, Abortion is a strong motivating

factor in these accounts. PS. Here is a picture of our awesome shelter dog, Sheba in you pug mix, a perfect apartment dog. Your dog is very cute. It kind of looks like a German shepherd and a beagle had a baby. Uh And as to your yeah, what you're saying, Peter, obviously, I agree that politics are very heavy motivation here. Anyone who denies that is being disingenuous. It's too obvious, it's too clear. So there you haven't. Uh No, let's by

the way, a shelter dog, very very cute. I'm pretty committed in my mind to getting an English bulldog, but I gotta wait a little bit until I figure out some things, some life things. Conversation for another time. Team Michael rides High Box. Judge Kavana needs a good PR person. Do you think he could get Hillary to help him with the bimbo eruptions. She has extensive experience in that field and might help him get a speedy confirmation. Shields

High from Connecticut. Well, Michael, you know the the parallels here to what was Well, I shouldn't say parallels, but the comparison between the way Democrats are talking now about Kavanaugh on the flimsiest of possible allegations versus the way that they referred to the very credible, named on the record and serial allegations against Bill Clinton tells you all you really need to know. I mean, they are not, in fact honest brokers here and never have been. In fact,

they have embraced the dark side. And I mean that. I don't mean that in a in a funny Jedi sense. I mean that, in a uh they the The underlying reason for all of this is that they would have to wrestle, at least some of the millions of people in this country who really believe that planned parenthood is

some kind of force for good. They would have to wrestle with the absence of a federal decree from the government, the most powerful government in the world, that tells them that is a constitutional right to have an abortion um And they would then have to think, well, as this now the closest thing in this country's history to a legal regime where immorality was in fact enshrined in law, similar to the dreads Gont decision, that's what they don't

want to deal with. And that's what because the abortion would stay legal in states, but those states that had abortion would be on very different ground trying to defend their practices. And if it's no longer a constitutional right, it would then be subject to whatever the state legislature designs at any given time, and those winds could shift rather rapidly. Whereas a constitutional decree, as long as you can hold, as long as you can hold the Supreme Court, um,

you can keep that indefinitely. So that's why they're also very upset about this, because they don't want the reckoning with their own consciences. Mark writes book, has anyone been able to get Keith Ellison on record giving the party line that the accusers should be believed and that Kavanaugh should step down or not be confirmed due to these allegations.

I think that as a candidate for state attorney general and someone who could have direct interaction with Supreme Court, his view is directly relevant and would be quite telling. Shields High. Um. Yeah, they're not gonna get Keith Allison on the record for that, Mark, because they don't want to talk about Keith Ellison. Because Keith Ellison is a credibly accused domestic abuser, recent domestic abuser, and he's also black, which means that they view him as a very important

asset to the Democratic Party. Uh, they view him as somebody who is you know, as a minority constituency that he speaks to, and and they won't I mean, there, they'll be very slow to throw him under the bus, so to speak. So there we have it, uh, Jeff writes, I just wanted to mention that with all these crazy tweets that have been floating around, I'm actually very concerned that the left has become violently unhinged. It's like they've

been changed at the molecular level. They cannot comprehend common sense or common decency, just venting. I'm at a loss. Well, Jeff, you're not alone, my friend. I feel the same way. In fact, whenever I see one of these incidents like we were just subjected to, where you have somebody, uh, you know, along the lines of what just happened with Ted Cruz who's trying to have dinner with his wife.

I mean, there needs to be some basic human understanding that, you know, we should all be allowed to have a quiet dinner with with our significant other without people screaming in our face about politics who don't even know us um and and the fact that that is not universally condemned.

It just goes to show you what the other side it has become, and what having a a stranglehold on pop culture and most of the news media and academia, it's allowed these people to create these existences where they just frankly can't confront and they can't deal with ideas that challenge their own ideas. They don't view it as an opportunity to learn. They view it as an attack on their very sense of self. And that's something that's quite different between the left and the right these days.

I'm fascinated by progressives who are really well informed or really thoughtful on on any issue. I almost always think they're unbelievably wrong, but I'm at least very interested in speaking to them. Progressives, however, are in general and it's really a part of the ideology. It's not true of all of them, but it's true of most of them. It is. It is the exception to come across the progressive who does not feel this way. Progressives just want

what they believe to be reflected back to them. They don't want anyone who challenges them, and they react anger, with anger, and with emotion to even rather gentle intellectual challenges of whatever it is that they hold dear. So I think that's an important part of this too. To keep in mind. Um, here we go one second here, uh, Aries rights Buck, you were talking about how you could feel Trump's patriotism after we interviewed him. I will suggest

his early supporters saw it early on. I will also suggest other conservatives who were so alarmed by Trump's patriotism they saw it as fascism and had to oppose him to the point of risking Hillary getting elected aren't patriots at all. I'm not surprised by what the left is doing, and I think they're capable of much much more. As you alluded to, uh suggesting Brett Kavanaugh should need more security, I think everything from the deep state spying on Trump

to the attempted destruction of Kavanaugh is a conspiracy. I find it way too convenient that Chuck Schumer, that's editor that seemed to organize the protests of Kavanaugh, didn't have anything to do with the conspiracy to take down Trump. As he's the one who brought it up, saying Trump

shouldn't mess with the intel agencies. So called leaders the conservative movement like Ben Shapiro, who couldn't recognize Trump for the patriot he was because they couldn't recognize how evil our future enemy China is with their crackdown on Christianity and the burning of crosses and churches, and also their pockets don't feel a little lighter. Are not true American patriots, um, and are poor excuses to be leaders in our movements. They are aiding and abetting agents of evil. UM. Well,

a lot a lot in there. Let me take the notion of um the deep state and conservative conservatives who won't at this point see, well, they're the conservative that still don't see the benefits of Trump and the conservatives who are early on were adamantly opposed to Trump, right. Uh And and I think that what you see are that there there are folks now who are so desperate to not be wrong because they think that they live in the life of the mind, and it would be

it would really undermine their sense of self. I mean this. You know that there are conservatives who suffer from similar maladies to the progressives, and one of them is this notion that the that Trump can't be good or Trump can't be better than they thought, because that would mean that some conservatives were really, really wrong. I will say this though, if you are a conservative who is currently um who is currently out there, And by the way,

I do not he mentioned Ben Shapiro on there. I like in respect Ben, I've got nothing critical to say about him on on this matter. I think he's very fair minded when it comes to Trump. Um. But as to you know what what goes on now, I mean anyone who's out there, and there are people, there are some prominent conservatives advocating for voting for Democrats in the midterms. UM. So that to me is being a Democrat. That to me is is taking your concerns with Trump way too far. UM.

So you know that. And you see this with Bill Crystal, by the way, with Evan McMullen, who was a stealth Democrat run on a on an ostensibly Republican ticket. He's a Democrat, he's not a Republican. Because he's now talking about the greatness of Beto O'Rourke. If you think Beto O'Rourke is great, Robert O'Rourke. If you think he's great, you're a Democrat. I mean, that's you're allowed to think that,

but don't lie about what you are. And Bill Crystal tried to put that guy forward and I had him on this show, and I to this day regret not well diving deeper. I guess, but I couldn't tell the future. So he sounded conservative. He's very anti Trump, but it turns out it was all really a dodge. I mean, it was all a ruse, a hustle. So that's something that that really bothers me. I hate, I hate dishonesty about what people are and what they stand for. To you,
