Trump Destruction

members of our military. What is happening? How can we stop it? That and more coming up. This is the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag No mistake, American, You're great, American Again the Buck Sexton Show begins. No, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show, DC. Freedom Hunt in effect down here in the swamp. But you see, the Freedom Hunt is now an island of sanity and and

truth in the midst of the swamp. Right, So this is with all the things going on here, this is Freedom's safe haven in the midst of the swamp. The Freedom Hunt is alive and well down here, my friends.

I've got a lot to talk to you about today, as I always do, but I was just flabbergasted kind of a fun word to say by the reactions to the Rudy Giuliani interview last night on on Shawn's Show, The way that the media now seems to think that they're just counting down the hours until Trump gets in diet. It's it's just not It's not going to happen. Unless Trump gets really bad legal advice and they can jam him up with a process crime of some kind. It's

not gonna happen. But there is a mass delusion that has taken hold in Democrat precincts across the country, and certainly in the newsrooms of most of the mainstream media outlets. But before we get to that Juliana Juliani interview, because I know it was last night, a lot have you heard about it. I have a different take on much of it. Part of it is that, like I'm a board and raised New Yorker, Giuliani was there on nine eleven and did things that he will be forever remembered

and honored for. I don't know if he's the best guy to be running Trump's legal team right now, but I also don't know who else would step forward and do it. One of the important lessons that anyone watching all of this, this circuit surround Trump would have to take from it is that they want to take down even those who are just trying to make sure that the President of the United States has his rights respected and and in defending his constitutional prerogatives. They'll take down

that person. You don't have to be a part of the Trump campaign for them to want to come after you. You You don't have to be one of his political appointees. If you're just a lawyer willing to stand up and say, hold on a second, what kind of completely crazy stazzi like police state tactics are the Democrats engaged in here. I saw the report today about how you know, maybe maybe Cohen's phone call uh to the White House was

picked up under surveillance. This is serious stuff. An active wire tap on it on the president's lawyer, my friends, and this are oh, there are crimes, crimes. Oh, I'm sorry they're now authorizing wired because they think maybe there was a campaign finance violation. You know, your mind, because you're you and I are ethical people, your mind wants to go to a place of they can't they can't be serious. Oh no, no, they're entirely serious because they

don't care that it is unfair. They don't care that it's hurting the entire country. And then it's completely dishonest and disproportionate to what kinds of powers and authorities should be used against the sitting president for given what we're talking about here campaign finance? Are you kidding me? Hillary Clinton was running a freaking global scam under the auspices of a charity. Oh, we couldn't, couldn't really dig into

that one. Do do any do any of the of the intrepid journalists over at CNN or MSNBC want to have a sit down and explain to me why the Clinton Foundations money has been drying up like a ittie pool in the middle of the Sahara. Anyone want to explain that to me? Now? What a shock? But oh yeah, campaign finance, Now it's a good thing we've got, you know Elliott ness of today on the case with well

it was Comey and now it's Mueller. Just crazy, just crazy. Um. But what really caught my attention today was something that I know a bit about because it's really a it's borrowed from the world of intelligence and espionage. And that is what we found out about what I would call

Kobe's Jim Comey's agent of influence. Daniel Rickman was hired as a special government employee, and according to Fox here Um, between of July and February, Rickman gave multiple interviews defending Comy's handling of the Clinton email case, including the controversial decision to reopen the probe shortly before the presidential election. He was typically identified as a law professor and sometimes as a policy advisor to Coomy. Let me, let me

just get into this a little bit more. And by the way, an agent of influence, you can pretty much tell what it is based on the based on the name itself. But this is somebody whose role is to mold perception, to push certain agendas. An agent of influences someone who's really working on your behalf as a propagandist. Right. It's somebody who is in a position that allows them to push on levers to bring about a certain outcome.

Uh here, I mean. The Wikipedia definition is one who's uses his his or her stature to influence public opinion or decision making to produce results beneficial to the country, whose intelligence service operates the agent, right. So you know, if if you let's say, this is the perfect example the Soviets, if the Soviets as they did. By the way, they don't teach the stuff in school, but I read a lot of old books that are out of print,

and you can see a lot of this stuff. The Soviets were running money to publications all over the world. The Soviets were paying journalists to push communist propaganda and by the way, in some cases at very high levels. So someone who runs a newspaper, let's say in the US or anywhere else, who's receiving money from the Soviets and who's pushing a pro Soviet line, that's an agent of influence. Comey was using this guy, Daniel Rickman, as his own personal agent of influence under the auspices of

being a special government employee for the FBI. So comy, it's to have kind of in the side pocket or in the back pocket side pockets and pool reference. My bad. Uh. He gets to have this individual who has media relationships and can go out there and spread the commist line whenever he wants. You know, the FBI is not supposed to do that. It's not how it's supposed to work. FBI has a Office of Public Affairs. They have people

or whatever they call it. They have people who openly interact with the media, but it's usually very, you know, very restrictive as to what they can and cannot talk about. And it's kind of all in the straight and narrow. You don't get to run your own little little side guy to the media and go do your bidding as FBI director. You've gotta be kidding me. How could anybody do this and think that this is ethical or okay?

Being paid by the taxpayer, I would note, So we're seeing more as time goes on, more of what we know happened. But now we're getting greater, greater, uh greater amount of proof, and that is that some of these very senior deep state bureaucrats were clearly abusing their power and authority in in i'll be honest, somewhat creative ways in order to push a certain message to the media

and to the general public with it. They weren't just running operations trying to get different journalists to think certain things and to run with certain stories, although that was certainly that was definitely a part of it. You saw that with McCabe. For example, McCabe, who's leaking stuff. Okay, the FBI, the FBI director. You start to run down a list of this stuff and it stinks to high heaven.

The FBI acting director, we'll leak something and then have the the hoot spa to call the New York field office of the FBI and yell at them for the leak that he did. Comey's running this agent of influence guy Daniel Rickman, who's talking to the media and defending Comy's handling of the FBI while he's an FBI employee. Can't do that. Comey decides to take notes pass them to Rickman. Rickman's the guy who then takes them to New York Times. So Rickman was the cutout that we've

been talking about. But now I say he's the agent of influence, but he was serving. He was serving an organization of one really, which was James Comey. This is the guy that we I would note, or are suffering as a nation through this nightmare of the Mueller investigation because Comey got fired because of this dirt ball. You gotta be kidding me here. We are media thinks this

is great. They think they're hot on the trail. They think that it's just a matter of just a matter of of weeks, maybe months, but weeks before they finally kick at the load bearing walls of this administration and with it, the country and bring it all tumbling down. That's what they think is gonna happen. In fact, they've bet that it's going to happen. They can't go back in their minds. They've put all their chips on the table, and the Trump is gonna collapse, and they're doing everything

they can to make it collapse. This is straight up politically. This is a I was saying, it's a street fight. It's true, a bar fight. True, it's a political war that we are in the midst of right now. The establishment has not decided to engage in any introspection. They're not trying to fix what they did wrong. They're not like, well, Hillary was just a crap, lousy candidate. No. No, they want payback. They want an end of this. They want

their power back. It's true of the mainstream media networks. It's true the Democrat Party, It's through of the progressive elitist establishment across the board. They view Trump as a threat to their sense of self, to their power, to their money, all of it, and they're all in against him. And this is why, as much as I would like to sit here and you know, have kind of a Sunday school session and talk about how well, you know, did Trump do some naughty things, I do not care

because I understand the stakes. That's not to say that I'll defend everything Trump does. I'm actually gonna we're gonna talk later on about immigration because this is the story that I can't know. It's not getting nearly enough attention, maybe because the administrations undersiege right now, but it's not getting nearly enough attention because we're not getting what was promised on that. But in the grand scheme of things,

I'm still in the bunker. I'm in the trench next to Trump and all of his people because I know what the other side is trying to do. I know how they're going about it, and I know what they want if they win, and what it means for you and for me and of the country that you've got Comey going around as really the de facto general of the hashtag resistance given all of the completely unethical, slimy, self serving, self dealing stuff, that he did as FBI director. I mean, it's a big job with a lot of

authority and power. That all that happened and here we are and we can't seem to get out of this. Is is a kind of awaking nightmare at this point. I mean, it really is threatening so much of what I think could be accomplished by this administration when should be good for so much of the American people. But we are facing an implacable enemy. The enemy is the progressive left with all of its redistribution and state ism and authoritarianism and as we see now, petty police state

stuff too. So I'll get into some of the more some of the specifics on this when we come back. And and I the fact that Comey's lawyer is Patrick Fitzgerald is just perfect, really the most the most relentless, unethical, slimy headhunter prosecutor of the last twenty years, of all the lawyers in the country. That's who Comey wants to have his back. I wonder why some of us, by the way, have known who Fitzgerald was since even before Scooter Libby. Go back and read about the Conrad Black case.

Eight four four to five lines are open Team love to hear from you. What do you think about that Giuliani interview last night? I need to I know you might have already talked to your friends about it, you know, on the way to work, or at the cooler or picking up the kids whatever. I want to know what you think, though, team, because we need to make sure that we are following this thing closely, because the stakes are being raised right now. They are They're all in

on Trump's destruction. We'll be right back. I think they want to destroy the president. They want to destroy his family, they want to destroy his businesses, they want to destroy his friends, so that no billionaire and let's say fifteen years wakes up and tells his wife, you know what, the country's broken and only I can fix it. His wife will say, are you crazy? Did you see what happened to Donald Trump and everybody around him? Marcat Puto is one I'm sorry, Mike, and Puto is one hundred

percent correct. That is exactly what's going on. You have to remember, it's it's a trauma. The left has been triggered here. It's not enough for them to even just get Trump removed from office, maybe even prosecuted after moved from office. That's not enough. They have to stop another Trump like figure from ever emerging in their lifetimes because they have really been thrown for a loop here. They've been traumatized, they've been triggered by Trump, and they want

to use this, uh, this upstart. You know, they want to change the narrative so that he's a cautionary tale for anyone else who would ever think of challenging this establishment. You want to talk about a deep state, A deep state's gonna be like twenty tho leagues deep if they actually get their way here. Think about the think about

what the president is. You know, we don't forget things, right, just like we didn't forget that they the media lied and covered up for Bill Clinton, and he lied under oath, and the law wasn't really the law then, and there's all these other examples that we can talk about since then too. If Bill Clinton is in my lifetime, certainly one that we will never forget, well, we're also not

gonna forget. No one's gonna forget any time soon that the FBI and some other as yet identified members of the senior hours of the intelligence community, and we've identified some of them right because they're coming forward talking, but they were engaged in a campaign to stop and then undo the Trump presidency. And if they're sick, and if they're successful after the fact, think about the message that that sends. People will talk about the institutions and our

Trump is so dangerous to institutions. What does it say when our institutions want to subvert the will of the American people throw the election upside down all of a sudden, it doesn't matter. You don't get to really choose. That's a scary country, folks. And at that point do I even tell people, Yeah, go out and vote. Sure, American democracy. I know we're a public. Don't send me the emails. American democracy is the best us. Well maybe it was, but you want to talk about what we are losing now,

all the hysteria over Russia's interference in our election. Meanwhile, people that are supposed to be public servants of our government and the media that are supposed to be serving the purpose of informing the public there overturning an election. That is what we are seeing happening here. This is

why they have all these pathetic justifications for all. Look, it might be campaign finance, or it might be Russia collusion, or it might be doesn't mean the crime that Trump, theoretically, with no evidence, may have committed to justify all these changes every week. I mean, it's like Trump doesn't even have time to eat at cheeseburger because I guess he's just committing crimes all the time. They're crazy. He's holding

the line for America, Buck Sexton his back. I'm never gonna work on a Republican campaign again unless somebody legally indemnifies me clearly these lawsuits after the fact, or the new democratic strategy, when you lose, you still win. I don't think anybody should work on a Republican campaign again unless they're legally indemnified. I think if you do, you're crazy. Michael Capputo really hitting some very important notes here on

TV in the last twenty four hours or so. How many stories do you see about people that the Mueller probe is basically bankrupting? Michael Michael Capputo is a former aide to Donald From's presidential campaign. I mean, he understands, you know, there's a real cost to all of this to a bunch of journalists out there, and I'm surrounded by them here in d c They're all over the place.

See them walking on the streets. Swamp creatures are plenty. Uh. I feel like I'm doing some kind of a you know, wild Kingdom tour here, or I'm like, oh there, I'll say, saying end journalists, MSN bas creeping through the toll grass.

But truth is, they don't care. I don't know. I don't know how much of its ignorance, but I know for sure they don't care that people like Michael Flynn are losing their life savings and their lives and their livelihood, their freedom for what it's a destroy Trump operation anyone

near him. Now, I gotta be honest. I was thinking about this the other day, at this point in time, I mean, are there many people that I think would be a more adept on his or her feet brawler with the media on behalf of Trump than me have given the opportunity. No, I think that I think I can hold my own with literally anybody that said would there be a part of me? And it's like, well, you don't want to get married, so you don't want

to start a family, and I don't. I don't. I don't know if I I don't know if I jump into the breach right now. I'm just being honest with you. I mean, there's a part of the love to tell you. Oh yeah, you know, m hmm, what so I so I could drown in legal bills. You you joined Trump and so you must haven't you must have information? No, I have it. I'm just trying to serve my country right, trying to do my thing. So yeah, it's it's really disquiet ng. It's a polite way of saying, messed up.

What's going on right now? It really is people are being treated terribly, very shabbily by those who are supposed to be the the if not the guaranteurs, at least supporting our civil liberties and individual rights, you know, the the fourth of state. It's really a fifth column, and it's it's a disgrace. And Computa is totally right. By the way, this is part of a of a larger theme that you see where somehow we're not actually having political debates anymore. It's just how do I get how

do I ruin your reputation? If if you're a Democrat, will you wake up saying yourself, your Democrat, who's playing this game of power politics? You're not making the case for how terrible Trump is doing in the economy. Economy is good. Good luck with that, right. Just imagine if we had had somebody with Trump's approach to say capitalism and free enterprise instead of Obama after the financial crisis, which was not of the Republican parties, making, by the way,

one of the great myths that the media perpetrated. Yeah, there was a symbiotic relationship. Just a little little trip down memory lane if you don't mind with me for a second. Here there was a symbiotic relationship between government policy and Wall Street shark like behavior with the whole mortgage meltdown without the loosening of lending standards based on who wants to guess? Why did we have decades of

looser and looser lending standards in this country? Sure you know the ownership society in the else how did it start? Community Reinvestment Act stretches back to the late sixties early seventies. I believe the cr A. What was the big problem with the c r A or what was the c r A trying to address? Oh, the disparities and lending among um different ethnic groups in this country. Who was getting loans and who wasn't became a social justice issue,

became a racial justice issue. Gotta get rid of the you know, using of Phyco scores and all the rest of it. Gotta gotta change the system. It's not the system wasn't fair. The system based on numbers and and background of payment and all that wasn't fair. And then they kept going and going, and then Wall Street saw an opportunity. And look, people work on Wall Street to make money, right, They're not actually trying to here cancer

or save the world. And that's how we got that monster, uh that almost took down the whole economy, global economy, but it was there was a huge social justice and government intervention component to the meltdown. Without it, it it was not possible. And this is a story that is not told. There's no mention of this in the movie The Big Short.

There's no mention of this, and most of the major you know, major pop culture, uh, nonfiction treatments of this that under Clinton, they were suing banks that were like, well, we're not gonna make this long because we think it's a bad loan. Sorry, you gotta make more loans. It's to social justice issue. Gotta make more loans. And people you don't think, you don't think I gotta pay them back? Okay, well, how could that go bad? And then we found out.

But imagine if we had Trump instead of Obama at that point in time. I think we would have recovered much more rapidly. We wouldn't have spent a trillion dollars on Democrat giveaways. There's all kinds of stuff. We could look back on it and say, wow, that would have been great. Um. But see, they don't. They don't attack Trump on the economy because as much as they want to get us all scared about China and trade wars

and everything, it's just not happened. And we can see we are aware of the benefits, the economic benefits of having a Trump presidency so far, but we don't. It's not even part of the discussion. Really, I don't even hear it. If somebody asked me right now, and then this look, this goes into all the different strategies the Democrats using. And ask yourself this question too, because I'm gonna pose it from the I'll speak from the eye

perspective here. That's what you're supposed to do in business meetings, right, If you're gonna try to be helpful. I'm talking from the eye perspective that wants to say something like, you are not good at this. You say I would like to help you with this. Um if someone said, buck, I'll give you, I'll give you a lot of money if you can really you know, I'll give you a

lot of money. Is a hundred dollars, I'll give you a hundred dollars if you can articulate what the Democrat message for the upcoming mid terms is like, I'll give you a bag of cash, I would say, in all honesty, I don't know other than impeach Trump, throw all of his family members in prison, because that's really what they want to do, including and Trump of course, right, impeach Trump, throw the whole White House in prison. Now that's not

it's never gonna happen. But that's what they're That's how they're getting their base energize. That's what they're pushing. I don't hear any other message. What's the other message? What else do they want? What are they for or against? Even? Oh, illegal immigration, yeah sure, okay, we know that, but they won't run on that. Though. The Democrat Party is for illegal immigration. But they won't tell you that. They'll just

do it because it's all about votes, power politics. I love who was it, uh producer Mike if if you, um, I forget what wasn't it uh? Last week or so somebody was all upset like, oh my gosh, Trump is saying illegal immigration is all about votes. Yeah, my man, that that is what That is why the Democrat Party cares so much about legal immigration. It is all about votes. This, I mean, we're gonna sit around here to tell where a bunch of clowns don't know anything. This is the

fight though, this is where it is now. It's for someone who makes makes his living now such as it is um talking, thinking, writing, speaking about these issues, which I think I find really important. I mean I I do ultimately like to think that other than just trying to have fun, entertain you, entertain myself as we entertain each other, really that we're promoting ideas that are good for good for America, good for humanity. Right, We're promoting

what is true, what is good, what is right. That's actually if I could come up with you know, it's not a tagline. It's gonna sell a lot of soda, But that's what I try to do here in the Freedom Hunt Uh also known as the Buck Section Show. But I wish we could spend more time time on the substance of policy. The problem is right now the administration is so encumbered by all these different opposition efforts that there's not even much of a policy. There's not

even much of a counter agenda to discuss. The agenda is get Trump, take him down, destroy him and this White House, bring in a you know, a huge Democrat counter revolution of sorts. That's it. There's there's no other strategy to speak of that that I've heard anything about, and I'm wondering if at some point they plan to change that. In the meantime, so Caputo is saying, I

think it's absolutely right. They're trying to They're trying to use Trump as an example for anyone else and make him so toxic that even people who believe thoroughly in Trump is m are concerned for their own well being. Right. You don't want to be you want to be the guy who goes and then the media look at look what they did. You want to get Ronnie Jackson? Do you want to get Ronnie Jackson? Because we saw what

that was guys. Uh, you know what a rear admiral or vice admiral p PhD, m D served honorably for years and years numerous presidents. They just just smeared him, just slimed him. Do you think any of the journalists that ran their stories, by the way, lose a night's sleep? And no, they think that points on the board another another person tied to Trump that Trump likes gone. Everyone

now becomes a target. Any journalist. I see this from my own vantage point, anyone that speaks out forcefully against Trump. You don't you don't need me to name the names. You know who they are. They're doing everything they can. Oh, I've heard a rumor that person has investments. Good heavens, he's a capitalist. Somebody hold the own. Stop the presses. They're just they'll but they'll anything that they can try to do, any narrative they can spend to take people down.

And this is true even I forget about just what the media. It's it's true within the government itself. And I don't even mean just the Mueller probe and all that. Look what the Senates doing, The Senate Democrats just sitting on nominees for senior posts. In the government that they's usually they can't get enough government employees going now, oh no, we can't. I can't allow that delay, delay, delay. That's there. That's their whole program here, you know, and and it's

all done in bad faith. Fifteen months into his presidency, this is in the daily signal fifteen months into his presidency of Trump's nominees await any Senate action. At the end of April, in his second year in office, up had a hundred and nineteen fewer executive branch nominees confirmed by the Senate, then the lowest score of the past four presidents, going back to President George H. W. Bush

in n talking about thirty years. Here, folks, the the the slowest Senate confirmation rate for senior government appointees in thirty years. That's not an accident. We know this, right, we know. You know at some point you could take this. It's a very a Lynsky eight approach to the government. You know, if it's not enough for you to this is a classic Lynskey thing. Okay, Well, if you if you don't have enough people to do a sit in at a restaurant or or you know, at some public facility,

just sit in their bathrooms, all of them. Don't let anyone else to use them. That'll get everyone's attention, right come up the works. Engage in whatever bad faith sabotage you can right now. The Democrats Humor, Pelosi, Muller, all of it. They're doing a bad faith sabotage of the White House and of the presidency because they can't win on the merits. They tried, right with Hillary. They tried,

but they couldn't. Even the security clearance process, we're being told now security clearance process, according to a piece in the Washington Times, is being used as a as a tool against Trump. Keep in mind that a lot there's a lot of discretion, a lot of I know people who have done investigations for the government, a lot of well does this person get a clearance? Is that person

get a clearance? Judgment call somehow, All the judgment calls in the federal government from the FBI, director of the Attorney General on down always seemed to go against Trump. It's not an accident and it's not a coincidence. Eight four four nine, eight two five. Will take some calls after this break, Stay with me. Coming up next hour. I'm gonna address the possibility of a prisoner release by North Korea because of Trump. Not much of a media

and much media attention on that, huh uh. And also I might have some more on Charlie Rose, the crusty Paul uh interesting news about CBS, all these networks that were all about me too, Not so much. But let's take some calls here, Jesse and Louisiana. Hey, Jesse, everybody, what's going on? I'm good man, thank you for your call. I gotta ask you this in all serious seriousness. Now you talk to me a bunch of times, and you always seem to be pretty serious with me, But this

is a serious question. I need a serious answer. What what do you think they've got on Jeff Sessions. It's got him sitting on his hands like this. I mean, we own the House, we own the Senate, we own the White House, Yet they control the narrative. They're the ones running with the ball no matter what direction the ball goes. I just think that Sessions. I think that Sessions is uh. I think he's kind of a boy scout.

I don't think that he understands or I don't. I think if he could go back, maybe he would take a different approach to this whole special counsel thing. But I think he figured, well, you know, this is the process and I should procuse myself and you know, so I think he made a mistake, but I don't think it's out of bad intentions. So I don't think they've got anything on him, because why sit and be in the position he's in. Right, He's kinda he's in a

rough spot. Well, yeah, I agree he's in a rough spot. But I mean, I hate to say it this way, but you know, I'm a political idiot. I just really started tuning into this whole presidency when Trump ran. Before that, I could care less. I voted Republican. But Jeff's been doing this for years and years and years, and he knows the ram knows the ramifications of what's going on, and he proclaims himself to be US trunk supporter. Now, I know he should have been prepared. He he knows

he should have been prepared for the fight. I just think he made a mistake. But Jesse Shields high. Thanks for calling Louisiana Jason in Phoenix. Good to have you serve. We got about a minute. Hey she'll die, But um, my question is Um, what under the treason laws couldn't Trump set here and use the Marines to go against all enemies foreign and domestic. These people are like completely going there undermining the constitution. This isn't freedom of speech,

it's just propaganda. And well they're using there, but they're weaponizing. You're kind of asking how he can use the system to fight back in this case, in that case the military, but they're weaponizing the the legal system and the bureaucracy against the administration. So um, but Jason Shield time and thank you for your call. Sorry it was quick, but I want to get you in before we move for

the next hour here. Uh, team, we have much more coming up, including the possibility of a prisoner release with North Korea. I'll get to that. And also, if I can, we have time one of the stranger political linds I've seen in a while. What's that? Well, hang out and you'll see, man, it's hot and swampy down here in the swamp d C. It is not just a heat, but it is the opposite of a dry heat here.

As you know, our founding fathers decided to situate our capital on what is in fact literally a swamp, and so when I'm trying to cool off and chill out at the end of a long day in the office or just kicking back and relaxing over the weekend, I reach for G four Tequila.

minutes ago about the timeline for Mayor Julie. When the President so often says things that turn out not to be true, when the President of White House show what appears to be a blatant disregard for the truth, how for the American people to trust or believe what is set here, what is set by the president. We give the very best information that we have at the time. I do that every single day and will continue to

do that every day under this position. You know, maybe if the media was a little less obsessed with Jason down the specifics of the Stormy Daniels story, which is, you know, they're they're they're all in a tizzy. I think a good way to describe them right now, because ru Giuliani last night said that Trump paid back the dollars Trump paid a hundred thirty thousand dollars to Michael

Cohen who paid hush money. Now, guys were all adults here, right, Although if you have young ones listening, and I guess they're not technically adults, but we're all adults here. Do you by on her thirty thars for hush money if if nothing happened? I think we only know the answer for that, right, But then also, do I care who the President's left with ten years ago? No? No, does that mean that I change my view of what conduct is is ethical and gentlemanly in the world and and

moral now? But it just means that we're dealing with an imperfect political world, my friends, and we are in the midst of a storm, and we have sides to pick. That's just the way it is. But if they spent a little less time focused on a little less time focused on the stormy Daniel story, maybe they wouldn't have some of the problems they do, Like the fake news that they reported on earlier today, which it was, by the way, fake news about Michael Cohen Poles. Who's puls

your pulse? Who's Poles? That guy? Remember him? Lawyer that had his office rated by Mueller something that you usually expect or Okay, I'm sorry, it wasn't Muller Southern District of New York. It was outsourced by Mueller's special Council to the Southern District. The Southern District did the dirty work for Mueller. But usually you think they would raid the offices of a lawyer who was, you know, working for like a drug cartel and connecting the cartel with

Hitman or something. Not someone who's known Trump a long time and and has to deal with and has dell with some of the uh specific in particular pitfalls of being a prominent person who has a colorful, a colorful social life. I guess we could say, um, but they said today they were poor at NBC News, big story, and I think, yeah, I've mentioned it, Cohen wire tapped, and this would have gone under the police state tactics that I've been talking about. Cohen wire tapped. Um, Well,

it turns out that was false. It turns out that the the the intrepid journalists over to NBC have had to issue a correction on that one. They don't know if it is a phone was wire tapped. But what I think is so interesting about that story is that they had there was not a hint of outrage. There

was glee. It was the opposite of outrage. There was glee from the media over the idea that Trump, or rather that Trump's lawyer Cohen, may have had his phone call or phone calls to the White House actively monitored under reveillance, just the same way that when Cohen's a client privilege was essentially I don't care. People are gonna say, oh, Buck, they have a separate they have a clean team, and all that. That's crap. It was the attorney client privilege

was annihilated, and that was the purpose of it. Trust me, you can't the clean team. This is like, it's like self grading a math test. Okay. You know, I remember being in a class where the teacher was like, okay, we're all gonna grade each other's tests, and you just made sure your buddy had either your test or you had your own test when they shuffled them around and you get to self grade, all of a sudden, my math skills were probably a lot better. Right, Let's be real.

That's what the FBI is doing here. They're they're self grading their tests. Um, that's ah, that's what I see happening here. But we we we do have to talk a little bit about so any the Cohen story was false, was not real. But you see the media once again, they have no that they don't care about civil liberties, they don't care about individual rights, that don't care and none of that that that's all out the window if it hurts Trump. And the Cohen story is another instance

of that. I've never seen people so excited about the prospect of ruining a lawyer's life because of a what is at best and arguable it's not even clear cut an arguable campaign contribution. But it goes to my This goes into my thesis of just like campuses, just like media, just like newsrooms. Uh, the left has infiltrated the virus of progressivism has spread so far and so deep in many American institutions that we got big problems, including the

prosecutor's offices. Now because conservative prosecutors and I have friends who are prosecutors, are conservative. They're like the laws, the law, this is about justice. Progressive prosecutors are like, oh man, will this make Rachel Maddow happy? I should press charges against this guy? Is this gonna get me a high five? For Manniston, Cooper, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi? Sweet, let's really make an example of whoever this is. That's how that's

how this works. That's how they're that's how they play the game, and it's uh, it's troubling to see it play out time and again. They're going after they are excited at the prospect of getting someone for a campaign finance. Look what they did with Thenesta SUSA. Similar cases, similar cases, way more lenient. But you know, he's a conservative critic of Obama made a lot of money making some very

impactful people. Get mad when when we know people say it's not really a word or to use wrong whatever, powerful? How about that some powerful movies article of Obama? And then when it when it came time to see if he got the benefit of the doubt from the Oh that's right, the southern district of New York. What a surprise. The answer was no, No, he did not get the

benefit of the doubt. But this then brings me to the the the takeaways from I know you may have heard some of the Giuliana stuff and all day, and I make a point on this show of talking about things that you don't hear elsewhere, right, But sometimes you know, when there's a news story that's so big, even if you might have spent a little time or elsewhere, I'm gonna I'm gonna talk to you about it, but keep in mind, I do a different this is the this

is Buck style, so that's always gonna be a little a little bit of a uh spicy spinoff of whatever else you've heard. Maybe I'll get time. No, no, I was about to go down a completely separate rabbit hole, but I'm gonna hold off on that. I'm gonna hold

off on that. I got a bunch of them. I've got like ten stories in my head that I want to talk to you about in this hour, and I feel like I'm only gonna get to two or three of them, which is why we're gonna start doing an additional weekly like what else I needed to talk to you about? Podcast, by the way, one of my fun things to announce to you. Yeah, and I got an even bigger announcement coming next week. Those of you who missed the Buck from the Real News days on the

Blaze TV, guess what something's coming. That's That's as much of a of a hint as I can give you right now. But Giuliani, Uh, I know America's mayor lots of good stuff about the guy, but also I think you know he's he's been in uh private practice, making a lot of money as a consultant for a long time, and and political candidate himself. I know he's close with Trump. I think he's got a lot. It brings a lot of attributes to the table that are good for the president.

I think he's got the President's back on a number of things. But I'm gonna walk you through some of his statements last night as to what it means now for where the anti Trump resistance is gonna go, how they're gonna use this, and what let's try to war game out what the Trump haters are planning not yesterday, but next week and next month, because I think we I think we have some sense of that based on the reactions to the Giuliana interview on on our our

dear friend Shawn Hannity's show last night. So we will get into that and much more. And then if there's this political ad that it's for a guy who's not gonna win, but it's like the craziest political ad I've seen quite a while, five time will do that, and uh, what do I think about that? What do the things the chances are of a North Korea releasing a few Americans held in custody. Are rich parents using doctors to

cheat on standardized tests? Answers? Yes, Uh, these are all things I want to talk to you about this hour. So we've gotta we've gotta packed next couple of segments here, stay right there, welcome back. I'll tell you about our sponsor this half hour. Every business has to hire people,

But how do you know who you're getting? How can you know if you can trust the people that are showing up and presenting themselves with a certain background, skill set and of course a completely clean record, no bankruptcies, no issues that they're hiding from you. Well, guess what, you can't know unless you have the right people looking into it. That is where Global Verification Network comes in. Global Verifications the only dual certified, veteran owned background investigation

and vetting company. Now they work with startups all the way up to fortune. So whether you're small business or a huge business, these are the guys and gals you want looking in to any background investigations you have to have done. They're all headquartered here in the States, and they don't offshore your data ever, It's all kept here. Go to my GVN dot com. Um, that's my g VN dot com or call eight seven seven six nine five nine Global Verification Network. So I mentioned the the

Julianna of you last night. I think some of the most interesting stuff. Well, first off, I mean he went full on after Comey, and I've been I've been saying that Trump needs to go on offenses. People need to go on offense. They cannot let the other side dominate the narrative because we are in a the Mueller probe is really a narrative battle. Uh so uh play clip play two and three. I know James Comey, I know the President. Sorry, Jim, You're a liar, a disgraceful liar.

Every FBI agent in America has his head down because he called me should be prosecuted for leaking uh confidential FBI information when he leaked his report intended to develop a special prosecutor for the President of the United States. I have never ever turned over a doctor. You know me, Sean you know me wants a charity. Uh A lot of allegations to my mom. Never leaked a damn thing. I would have considered resigning if I ever did that. I worked for the CIA, I worked for the NYPD

in talence division. As you know, not only have I never leaked any documents, I never even considered leaking documents, including documents that we're not necessarily uh legally protected, but that were you know, administrative use, or that were you know, an internal right. You know, I wouldn't have done that. It just would have never occurred to me to do that.

I would have found it unethical, would have thought it was wrong to do that, and to use access to the President of the United States when you are the FBI director, to further a personal vendetta, as I've been. I think this is one thing that gets skipped over so much. Of course media doesn't want to touch this.

But if the President can't have a conversation with the FBI director that he doesn't think is literally going to be leaked to the New York Times, how can he have any faith in the in his conversations with the FBI. How can he have any faith that any member of the senior member of the administration is on the up and up. These people talking about defending our institutions. So the Republic is under assault because of trump fascisms coming to America. No, it's not. But you want to talk

about institutions and the damage being done. Uh, they're doing thermonuclear level damage to the trust that the president can put in those around them. And he really, like I said, this is not about the Agriculture Department, Okay, is not the Department of the Interior. The president needs people to talk. The FBI director talk, the CIA director talked to Director of National Intelligence, you know, people like Comey Brennan Clapper.

He needs to be able to speak to those kinds of folks and not feel like, uh, is this gonna end up on MSNBC later? Does anyone think that that would be interrational thought for a president to have at this point? I think no, we all know why that concern is is very real. But here's what got everybody all, Oh my gosh. I was actually last night. I was trying to have a kind of have a quiet night down here in d C. I don't kick back and relax a little bit, you know, turn off my jets,

go back to neutral. And this is what got everyone all crazy. Place seven having something to do with paying some Stormy Daniels woman a hundred and thirties thousand, I mean, which is going to turn out to be perfectly legal. That money was not campaign money. Sorry, I'm giving you a fact now that you don't know. It's not campaign money. No MH campaign finance violation. So they funneled it through the law firm, funnel through law firm, and the president

repaid it. So do you do you think that we're going to hear more? Um? Do you think that we're gonna hear more about this after it it has found that it's not actually illegal. Why are they even making the claim that it's illegal. Let's understand this because they have to think about this. If the payment to storemy Daniels is not illegal, what justification can there be for violating the president's well, the president's relationship and the attorney

client privilege that attaches for for Trump and Cohen. So that's why they have to use this flimsy pretext. It is a pretext. Giuliani knows this. Look, Rudy Giuliani. I will say this for the guy. He knows. He knows how this game has played. He he was a brass knuckle wearing prosecutor back in the day. You know, he came from the you know, the the Scottish Alleyway brawl school of how to get things done as a prosecutor, and now he was going after the mob. So it

was great, right, take all those guys down. But he hasn't played in games. He understands how to use leverage, and he knows how the other side is going to do that now too. So you know that that was an important, important part of us. But then also the left is gonna call this what about is hum but

I would just say it's it's being rational. I mean, he was saying that all of what we're seeing now, all these legal processes that are being used, that are being weaponized against the president United States, we're not just turned off when it comes to Hillary Clinton. They went in the opposite direction. It's not that they didn't they didn't aggressively prosecutor. They aggressively work to not prosecutor. But they actually rewrote the law. They're not prosecutor. That's what

Comby did. And Juliani understands this, and he and he got into this a little bit play eight and then nine thirteen crimes she committed. And when we got up to about eighteen, I'm sorry, Hillary, I know you're very disappointed to win that you're a criminal. Equal justice would mean you should go to jail. Uh the I do not know why the Justice Department is not investigating you.

I'm not gonna have my client, my president, my friend, and a president has achieved more in a year and a half, against all odds, than anyone had a right to expect. I'm not gonna let him he treated worse than Bill Clinton, who definitely was a liar under oath. I'm not gonna let him. He's being treated much worse and Hillary Clinton, who had no right to any of that stuff. So I'm not gonna let him be treated

worse than Hillary Clinton. I think Jay and I will insist that they're gonna have to treat him the same way as Clinton. Two and a half hours we end, we walk out. Now, I hope that they don't actually I I they should force a subpoena or they're rather they should force testimony by the president. He should not willingly submit to an interrogation by Mueller, because it it really in a sense, Look, this is just my understand that a lot of this comes out of interpretation. We're

an uncharted territory here. People say it is this or it is that. It's their opinion of this or that, because who knows how some of this is gonna shake out, But do they do they have grounds to issue a subpoena of the President short I think it's it's the fair or right thing for them to, of course not, and I think Trump needs to fight them every step the way that at least my approach on this eight four to five team will be back in just a few He's back with you now, because when it comes

to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. I'd like to tell you good news when I can, and I I don't. I don't have much more detail on this because I haven't seen the show yet, but I am seeing here reporting that indicates that Last Man Standing with Tim Allen is in fact gonna make a comeback. They're gonna They're gonna have new seasons of it. So many of you who have been sending me your thoughts about shows that I should watch, I appreciate that, by the way, uh, but I have not yet gotten the

Last Man Standing. But looks like not only can I go watch the old episodes, but I'll watched the new ones. Gosh, you mean maybe a a comedian and a comedy show that isn't jamming the progressive agenda on everyone's throats and takes a point of view that people who don't live in deep blue parts of the country can appreciate that might be a successful business model. Oh my gosh, it just seems crazy. I gotta think it's the weather. I'm gonna uh this weekend. I'm heading back up in New York.

I'm gonna have some time on the train, so I'll give myself a a little bit of time to watch something i'd like to I'd like to think. I don't know. I don't know if I can watch The Terror because maybe you can't download it yet. I'm not I'm not done with The Terror, but yeah, I feel like I kind of know what's going on. It's oh AMC on demand, John, I can do that, Okay, So yeah, maybe I will be able to do that if you look. It's a lot of like Bill Captain, it's so cold out there.

I can't go out because there's polar bears and it's like really cold. Son, It's all right, it's for it's for mothering, and just go and we will discover a great thing. But I'm a lot so cold, I can't do it, and there's polar bears and they'll eat my face and I can't, you know, and my teeth the chattering, and my knees a Shai kings. Those of you have

haven't seen the Terror, I have no idea. It's it's a show about trying to find the Northwest Passage through the northern Islands of Canada, the Arctic basically, and uh, it's cold up there, but it's just a lot. It's a lot of like snow. It's a lot of a lot of pasty British dudes who were cold all the time because it's snowing, and uh, they're there so far, I've just haven't seen a lot beyond that. I thought there was actually gonna be like a sci fi component

of it. Maybe they should bring that in. I mean, I'm I'm getting to the point where if they made some aliens land somewhere, I'd be like, well, I'll give it a few more episodes because otherwise, like I said, it's but I just want a sport tea before I go out onto the tundra. It's so cold. Oh, look at ice bag. It's like a block of ice, but it's really large. Daniel in Missouri, save me from this nonsense. What's going on, sir? I'm good man, thank you for

the call. I got away that that Trump can hand all this. You can tell me it was right or not. And national health. He needs to go on national television and do sort of a disstressed that address them down country. Two less of mains, one miss More and his team, and one with everyone with fo charged or not charged

with something that's been investigated. Pardon every one of them on one list, including himself, and all of this becaution fire the other people get car intreates back to the people that have been bankrupt, and then get at the point all of this Dominees said, they're just sitting on their hands, thought, well, I can say that my understanding, uh is that the president probably couldn't pardon himself. But keep in mind, these are opinions, right, These are not

These are not hardened festivals. No one's ever tried. But you're right about pardoning everybody else. And keep in mind that Clinton pardoned Mark Rich, who wasn't somebody who had been convicted. Mark Rich was a fugitive from justice who, by the way, was pardoned by Clinton because Hillary and the d n C wanted money from Rich's wife, who was a big donor to the Democrat party. Side note, but he was a fugitive from justice and they pardoned him, so you could also have a a preemptive pardon to

be sure. Uh and and so yeah, he could pardon these people. I do believe he should pardon General Flynn. I say, go for it. I think it's I think it's a complete garbage case. I think it's nonsense. You know, I don't know if you I mean man of for Manna for it might have been like hiding a lot of money from the I R S for all I know. I wouldn't be surprised. Who else you know, that guy Alex von Schmergeenbergen, whatever the guy's name is, from the UK. I think he got like thirty days, so I don't

think a pardon really is necessary for him. Um and then but yeah, I mean you're talking about the other White House of well Cohen obviously, But keep in mind, if they try to get Cohing on some state charges, a presidential pardon would not undo that, so they'll they'll still try to get Cohen one way or the other. Thank you for calling in Daniel. By the way, I

do appreciate it. Uh, I'm all in favor of I think the president needs to flex some muscles here and and get after it in a whole bunch of ways. I want declassification of all this stuff around the dossier. I want to know more about the fies A warrants. I want to I want a lot of it out there, booces and methods. I know a lot about sources and methods. I actually had to deal with him from for a living, okay, and a lot of times when you're looking at it,

they air the side of caution. They could redact names as necessary, but they redacted way too much information from what has already been released. In my by the way I saw this, Mike and John important, I am h. O means what the acronym? Mike? You first, what does it mean? I am h oh? What is it? What? What does it mean? The acronym when people write capital I A H or it doesn't have the capital just I am h. I would love to tell you, but but John just blurted it out. So no, no, no,

because there's there's two. There's two, there's two acceptable answers, John, what do you think it is? In my humble opinion. Do you agree with him, Mike, do you agree this is a real question? Do you agree that I am h O means in my humble opinion. I don't know why I can't get an answer from Mike. Is this is not a trick question? Okay, No, I agree, I totally agree. Yeah, he's, he's, he's he's laughing up there.

I know what's going I know you two. You two are having a party up in New York when I'm down here in the swamp. I know what's happening. That G four is only for after the show, gentlemen, but no, seriously, the the there's an online poll right now that is saying that I think half of people BuzzFeed put this out there. I think it's in my honest opinion. Now are these people savages? I don't know. I leave that to you, but I've always I'm with you, guys in

my humble opinion, I am HO. But people are out there saying that it's in my honest opinion, and I just think that, yeah, this is not nom there are rules, right, like that's crazy, but but this is what people are saying. You guys can all go see it yourself. It's on BuzzFeed. They're they're just trying to change the English language as we know it. And uh, and I will I will not stand for it. I will not abide. The dude does not abide. I'll give you that. So Okay, back

to pardons and U and all the rest died here. Um. I think that they should pardon Flynn. I think that they should, um make sure that as much information as possible as out there because this this is as much a narrative fight as it is anything else. Which one other thing, and this is kind of a mulligan from the last hour. I meant to get to what we think of as the as the parameters of the Mueller investigation. Actually turns out it was just a fraction of the

Mueller investigation. Um, they've redacted a lot more of what it is. But in Rosenstein's in Rosenstein's um memo last August, that outlined the scope of this whole thing. Uh, the there was and there was a public consumption version, and then there was a real version. And we don't get to see the real version. So think about that for a moment. Right, we think we know what rose in Stein authorized mother to look at, but this is reporting

from Byron York over the Washington Examiner. Now we don't know, actually we don't know. It's redacted, So who knows where that's gonna stop. At the start? Oh, I I would really I would really like to see the president. Look, I think he needs to throw his weight around on some of these issues, and he understands what kind of what kind of fight he's in, He understands what's going on. I will say, though, Giuliani last night, the comment about

how Jared is disposable was was just weird. I do think that was weird, the senior putting aside that he's the President's son in law, senior White House advisor. We don't need to hear that, anyone says. I think Julian was being a little tongue in cheek, I get it, But the media jumped on that right away. I do think it's true though as well. If if they I think that there's a red line, not because the media

is ethical or anything like that, because they're not. But I think they know that really going after Ivanka the way they've gone after other members of the administration. Um, I I they're not They're not there yet. They can't do it. Yet they don't. They don't have enough, whereas with other people, they manufacture the pretext to try to go after them. Right, the media will come up with some reason why. Prue It is the worst person ever, Ronnie Jackson is the worst person ever, Michael Cohen is

the worst person ever. I mean, you can go to the whole list, right, you know the game they play. I think they try that with Ivanka and it would backfire on them. So I agree with Giuliani in his assessment of that. Um, because Ivanka has in this administration, even among a lot of Democrats and l sale, she's you know, she's considered a voice of reason and obviously she's highly presentable and very articulate. Um, there would be a there would be uh, there'd be an outcry there,

I think. But it's just weird. Yeah, you know, Jarry's disposable. I was like, whoa, Julianni, slow your role. I think I'll get to the North Korea. Oh oh my gosh, this this political campaign out of West Virginia. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm not paying that I wasn't paying. I will have to start paying closer attention now that I'm a swamp dweller who's covering a lot more in the way of politics. Uh, you know, up close and personal.

There's this race in West Virginia. I think it's uh there at least three candidates and the guy who's in third. I'll give you some details on we come back. The guy's in third has an ad out there that I just it's it's wow, it's wow. If you want details, you have to stay with me and I'll be right back. What the heck is going on in the West Virginia primary, folks, Um? I wow? So this guy, uh, I mean Don Blankenship. Uh. He is a he was convicted for criminal negligence in

a coal mining explosion that killed people. Good god. Uh. He's running for office for Senate no less in the state of West Virginia. And he put out this ad that is why a woe play it. I'm Don blank Ship, candidate for US Senate, and I approved this message. Swamp Captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs for China people. While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich. In fact, his China family has given him tens of millions of dollars.

Mitch's swamp people are now running false negative ads against me. They are also childishly calling me despicable, mentally ill. The ward to drain the swamp and create jobs for West Virginia people has begun that will beat Joe mentioned and ditch cocaine Mitch for the sake of the kids. What was that? Uh m hmm. First of all, is he saying and I have to quote him here, is he saying China people like intentionally to to kind of troll China? Or does he is that what he really thinks that

we call people who are from China? Because he says it twice right, and he and he refers to Mitch McConnell's China family, which is also just I mean, this guy is this is a train wreck. Um. But then also at the end, what's with is? Do you guys know by the way, Mike John, what's with cop? What do you say? Cocaine Mitch or something? What was that? I Mike, you got anything on that? I'm I'm sitting here like what does that even? No, it's I think

he came out of towards a reason for it. I can't recall, but he came out of like basically left field with it. Huh. Whoa. That was of of all the political ads I've seen it in a while, that was in the class by itself. Now this guy is he's third in that primary. I believe so, but but I don't think he's What if you guys might if you see me pulling on that real quick, give it to me, because I'm from what I understand, it's not a race. That's it's it's not like he's getting one

percent of the vote or something. I think he's actually got some people voting for uh now swamp captain. I mean, there there were some things he said, but I'm like, oh, that's gonna resonate, but the whole the China people anyway. And I also think it's a strange thing to to choose to vote for or someone who is a convicted of criminal negligence in a major workplace disaster that claimed a lot of lives. So but then again, I have a cocaine Mitch explanation for you if you want, Yeah,

what's the cocaine Mitch explanation? I couldn't. I didn't even I want to be in on this, not a joke, but whatever it is, I want to understand what's he trying to say, as you mentioned, Mitch McConnell's family has ties to China. His father in law founded and owns a large Chinese shipping company, and the company was implicated recently in smuggling a cocaine smuggling from Columbia to Europe. So um, a little bit of a reach, but I

think that's his explanation. Wow wow, okay, uh calling him cocaine Mitch, that is that was like of all of all the guys that I think in the in the Senate, maybe back in the eighties, because I'm sure there were a bunch, right if you've seen Charlie Wilson's War, uh you know, but of all the guys, Mitch McConnell will be very low on the list of guy that I could see getting a little too disco, if you know what I mean. I don't think that was mm hmm. Or I'm a I'm a beloover and having a party

of were for dramas. Have a nice warm glass of milk and actually I party like Minch McConnell, I like putting on my pj's early a nice glass of milk, some chocolate. It would be it would be a cookie but now it's hard to find good gluten free cookies these days, so that was one of the crazier things. Um. I don't have much time on this one. I just want to get it in before we get to immigration,

big topic next hour. And also the some of these planes that have gone down, military planes that have gone down in recent recent years, killed a lot of over a hundred service members, and there's a there's an explanation that I want you all to hear. We've got an expert aviation expert joining military aviation expert talk to us about that specifically. So that's all coming up in the next hour. Um. But but this, uh, I'll probably dig

in it a little more tomorrow. It turns out that a whole bunch of folks at CBS where Charlie Rose worked, the Krusty Paul himself, they knew, they didn't care, they didn't do anything about it. True of all these big networks, by the way, that have these huge stars that are just grabbing it ladies and assaulting them left and right, everyone knows, but they are a bunch of greedy hacks and hypocrites, and they didn't do anything about it. So perhaps more time on that one up tomorrow. What's going

on with immigration? The border is getting worse, folks, we gotta talk about it. Stay with me.

Buck Sexton mission decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American,

You're a great American Again. This is the buck Sexton Show. Analysts No, Welcome to our three of the buck Sexton Show. My friends, great to have you with the honor, privileging, pleasure of always. And I have been telling you, and gosh, I just I just hit my knees so hard on my desk here in the DC Freedom Hunt. And it was kind of the funny bone. But you know, it's weird about the funny Bone team. It's not funny. There's

nothing funny about it. You hit that bone and all of a sudden you're like, oh and so, but the show must go on. So I'm just gonna be I'm gonna man up here. I think I just committed a microaggression. I'm going too, I'm going to have a stiff upper lip. That sounds so British, that doesn't it. I'm going to have a stiff upper lip. Hello, my lip is stiff and it is upper uh. And now I've killed enough. I've given myself enough time that I've recovered from my

self inflicted wound here. I've been telling you immigration is going to react to the stories and the administration's posture. Right. You remember, there's always a wedge effect with illegal immigration. You get the first folks that get up to the border that are to claim a sign them if they get into the country, as we see with this caravan. Guess what others are going to follow behind them. That's why the size of the caravan was not that important.

It was the media coverage, the fact that there was a focus on it, and the fact that the Trump administration had said, don't worry, we are not gonna let this happen, and it kind of happened. I know there's going to be some who are processed that are not allowed into the country, but they're going to be a whole lot of folks who are in fact going to stay under their asylum claims. And I think that the whole notion of asylum has been abused now right, We're

being we're being taken advantage of. That's really one of the underlying truths of our entire migration system. And it and it affects you. It doesn't matter those of you are listening in Montana, by the way, here beautiful this time of year, great fly fishing. Uh. Wherever you are in the country, even if you have a very small all illegal immigrant population, the federal government is providing services

and assistance. And because you know the Department Education, your local schools, e r s, hospitals, they're getting funding from the federal government. There's all kinds of ways that your tax dollars are propping up this system. You're subsidizing this illegality. So it affects you wherever you are. Right, just we see what's going on in California. We go to California is being so silly they can't they can't continue at

this pace. Yeah, you know what's gonna happen. Eventually they're gonna want just more federal money and they're big enough and have enough political sway because of the enormous population of that state that the left wingers who run the state might actually get their way and more and more federal subsidies. That affects you wherever you are. But the thin wedge of the caravan has already gotten into country.

You're gonna see more happening. But I see this in the Washington Times, and I just think to myself, I knew it, this is gonna happen. Here's the piece just from today. Illegal immigration across the Southwest border rose again in April, continuing a surge that has entirely erased President Trump's early gains and left officials in Washington struggling over answers.

Nearly thirty nine thousand illegal immigrants were nabbed by the border patrol last month, according to preliminary numbers, and that's a staggering two hundred and thirty three increase over the same month a year ago. That is the biggest year over year increase in records dating back to the beginning of a decade. And quote, folks, the proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the proof is at

the border. We east. We can't pretend these numbers aren't what they are, or these are coming right from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and border patrol and the rhetoric of the Trump administration on this issue. You remember the first year, what happened, big drop in crossings. Why because Trump had promised there would be enforcement, there was gonna be a wall, and there was a new sheriff in town, so to speak.

That was what Trump said was going to happen, and that had an effect on how many people tried to come into the country illegally. But wait a second, what what have we seen the last six months or so? And I know, you know it. It would be easier to sit here and just say maga and Trump's got everything under control, but we have not seen the follow through an immigration that is necessary for there to be any credible claim that Trump is actually getting this thing done. Okay,

it hasn't happened yet, folks. You know what, and I know it. I don't think any of you do. I think I probably actually most of you are like yeah, I mean, you know, give Trump a break. They're trying to literally engage in a soft coup with the media and Muller and everything. And I get that. But I think a lot of your nodding your heads, like yeah, Buck, this is not what we were told we're gonna get. It's just not I can't sit you're in good conscience and you know, b s you for Buck Sexton. See

what I did there. I can't do that. The administration has been talking about legalization for DOCCA, about expanding DOCCA, and to be fair, the Democrats have used the courts to completely expand even the executive decisions, the executive orders made by President Obama on behalf of illegals. So there's the the Democrats are playing a role in this surge,

to make no mistake about it. But this is, you know, the way people look at the stock market as a barometer of confidence the economy, you know, and you can argue with that or not a lot of it's inflated asset prices, record low interest rates and artificially artificial interest rates. That's a whole other conversation. You can see. I get excited about these things. I'm a student to finance, uh these days. But we see the numbers at the border,

and the numbers don't lie. You know. The illegal immigration is a scoreboard issue. What's the scoreboard say? You know, we can talk about how the refs, the refs weren't fair, the refs were paid off. What does the scoreboard say? And right now it says illegal immigration is surging under this president, with this administration. And this is a very very big deal because what it tells us is that the word among those among the coyote networks that are

bringing people into the country illegally, among the cartels. You know, I don't think this doesn't also affect opioids, because remember, you have people who work in the distribution of those opio aids who are crossing the border and going into illegal immigrant communities. You also have the drugs themselves crossing the border with those workers to go into illegal immigrant communities to them be distributed to the rest of U

to the rest of the country. So if they don't think that this wall is getting built, if they don't think the enforcement's gonna happen, guess what, the numbers go up. And that's where we are. I'm not saying that Trump has failed on this. I'm just saying he hasn't accomplished it yet, and the trend is in the wrong direction, and that's troubling. Okay, I'm I'm about results with Trump. Why do I not care about Stormy Daniels? Why do I not get all bogged down? And you know, oh,

Trump said that it was this. Trump said potato. It's actually potato, because I believe in the agenda and I want the results and I can't Immigration was what separated him from everybody else. We cannot lose sight of this. What what's the difference between Trump and the other fifteen candidates or sixteen whatever it was that ran for the Republican nomination. Trump was willing to not just take on the issue of illegal immigration, to single handedly reframe the

national discussion of immigration as a topic. That is what he accomplished. That's what he did. That's why he's president. Let's be honest. Okay, he's he's not president because, uh, you know, he's the best, most precise orator in the history of the world. Although he's incredibly entertaining, and I give him a lot of props for being amazing in live events, I'm I'm not trying to take anything away from the man in that regard, but you know, he said that he was going to get some things done.

Immigration is the centerpiece of the agenda, and it needs redoubled attention right now in advance of the mid terms. I also want to talk to you about the increase in military air accidents that have fatality is over a hundred killed just in the last few years. There's a reason for this that ties right into the budget and what the Democrats in Obama did. I'll tell you about it when we come back. There are a few constants in my day to day. My friends, it's a crazy

world we live in. I'm sure it's true for you too. I'm in the media business. Things get nuts. But you know what, I rely on coffee. I drink it a few times throughout the course of the day, and I only have one coffee brand, Black Rifle Coffee.

Welcome back to the show team. The Pentagon just earlier today identified nine pilots and crew killed earlier this week when an Air National Guard plane crashed near Savannah, Georgia. Now it seems there's been a slew of these deadly crashes involving our military, and I don't understand aviation. I'm not a guy with any expertise in it, but I want to look into this some more. So we brought somebody on here who can address these questions and tell

us exactly what's going on here. We have Lieutenant Colonel Buzz Patterson on the line. Uh. Buzz is a retired military combat pilot, distinguished White House Military Aid and New York Times bestselling author of Dereliction of Duty and Reckless Disregard. Uh, Buzz, thank you so much for joining. Appreciate having you on. Yeah,

my pleasure, Buck, thanks so much. So. I'm seeing here that military crashes have increased by byt There's been a six month investigation Military time saying that this is really, uh an urgent issue. Can you tell me what's going on here? Because for a lot of us in the civilian world, we're like, wait, how is it that the military could be having such an increase in these crashes and we're losing uh service members here a hundred and thirty three killed from seventeen in in accidents alone. What's

going on? Yeah, actually more that were killed more than twice. Has many killed buck in accidents, training accidents back here in the States, and we're killed in combat in a rock and and uh, Afghanistan and Syria. So here's my take. It's a systemic problem when you have a democratic presidency or administration like you have a Barack Obama, like I had under President Bill Clinton. They used their eight years to uh move money's allocate moneys out of the DoD budget,

and that really impacts two things that are critical. It impacts training, training time, training hours, and it impacts maintenance or military readiness. Is what if someone commonly called the Pentagon. So when Barack Obama remove moneys are out reallocated them out of the do O D budget during those eight years, we lost a lot of training time and a lot of ability to replace fare parts and aircraft. So now that we're President Trump is inherited is a military that

has been hollowed out and it takes years. Buck. It's a logistical tale. We call it takes years now to to restart the engine, to re get the training, the training time back up to speed, to re get parts back into the system for the aircraft. And I think, you know, we've had seven crashes this year alone involving military peacetime accidents since the two thousand and eighteen began. And I think it's a think problem that goes back

to the previous administration. And it's the point, I think, which is a crisis, and it's gonna take us three or four years probably yet the minimum to get out of it. Is there any one particular airframe and any one aerial platform that is particularly at risk for this or is it pretty spread across uh different different aviation units. I mean, is there anything to that? I mean you're mentioning maintenance. Are there some vehicles, some some planes that

are are worse off in this situation than others? You know, a rotary aircraft worse than fixed wing Well it appears so far, but just this year alone, we've had a little bit of everything. We've had. We've had helicopter crashes, we've had fighter jet crashes, we've had we've got to see one three crash yesterday, transport plane so I think it's pretty much a broad brushed thing that we're watching here. So you know, I want yesterday's crashed in the Savannah,

Georgia to um a training issue. I think it might have been a maintenance issue. We can get into that a little bit later less you want to. But I think we're looking right now. It's just a specific problem across all weapons systems. We call them all aircraft types, all services. So it's not it's not just an air Force problem or a Navy problem, or a Marine Corps problem, or are we problem. It's a d D wide problem.

It strikes me that this is a particularly insidious kind of of funding shortfall, because you know, if they try to cut military pay, I think we I think we'd hear about that, and and folks would at least be able to complain to their elected representatives. But things like training time, things like maintenance on on vehicles, particularly things that are things that are up in the sky flying,

that doesn't necessarily get the same degree of attention. I could see how if someone was trying to trim the budget right at the federal government, if the White House, as you mentioned, under the Obama administration, was looking for cutbacks.

Those cutbacks you don't see right away, but it seems from what you're telling me and what we're seeing based on these news reports, that you see them later on with losing men and women who were serving their country because they don't have the gear and they don't have the flight time that they That's exactly what it is, because what happens in particular, just just take one particular unit, to take a C one thirty unit or an F

sixteen unit. What happens is you have a certain number of aircraft, and you have to maintain a certain number of fliable aircraft. So when you have other aircraft they're not flable, you cannibalize, You take parts out of those airplanes and boot them to the airplanes that are still capable of flying. Well, that is that that it trips pretty quickly. That that that you can never get that back. It's like you know, spinning your own credit card never

paying back the balance. So uh, and that catches up with you over a certain amount of time. And we've been also, correspondingly, Buck, we have been deploying our assets that record numbers. You know, our guys and girls have been going overseas a record numbers. So you combine the actible deployment equation with the fact that they're getting less and less and less fair parts for what they're operating, and that's just doomed to fail. And we're seeing we're

seeing that failure. One of the big pushes that the President had for the last omnibus bill that was signed had to do with and I think this is the one part of it that a lot of conservatives, a lot of the the GOP base, we're saying, Okay, well, at least we're getting that was more funding for the military. Now, some people see this and they say, well, you know, there's always more funding for the military, right, And there was a little bit of a cynicism that crept into

the conversation. From what you're telling me, though, Buzz, it sounds like there was a shortfall and that the increase in the budget that the Republican Congress passed and that Trump signed here, although it's really a an omnibus bill, not really a budget, but that that actually was necessary

to address these problems. So it wasn't just more spending for the military industrial complex, because that's what goes on that there was actually a need here is that fair to say, or is there some specifics I need to throw into this. Yeah, well that's just the beginning of the need. I think what he's doing right now is is trying to to uh to get back to where we should have been several years ago. So this is

this is the first step in that. And I'll helly the exact year buck this started happening was under Obama when he took a significant cut to what we call O and M operations and maintenance so readiness, training and maintenance parts and took a significant cut. And again the lead time for that stuff. You can't replace all that in a year or two years or three years. That's got it. That's that's the time consuming four or five

or six year out kind of thing. When you're when you're buying new weapons systems or your modifying weapons systems, or you're procuring new aircraft like the F thirty five, those take because of our system, our political process, those take almost a decade to get you know, um fielded in the air. So we're looking at the fact that Trump inherited this. His first bill was the ominous Bill.

Were probably gonna take us three or four more years now to get to where we should have been when Bush left office, and buzz when Trump says that the military has been hollowed out and he's been this has been a refrain. Is it really is this the area? Is this really where it is the training, the readiness, the maintenance, or there are other big shortfalls, other big gaps that have been kind of hidden from the public at least perception of what's going on in the military

that we should be aware of. Now these are these are the two. I think the are the most important, but because easy two, they're the easiest to hide in the d D budget process. You can hide training hours. You can you can decrease training hours and nobody pays attention. You can decrease the number of of spare parts for aircraft, nobody pays attention. If you go after hospitals or the v A or pay raises, people will pay attention to that.

So what they've done is very very intelligent on their under beaffs are very damaging the very it's very insightful because what they're doing is they're going after things that nobody else will see that take years and years and years to catch up with. So it did take to this point this year. It took that long for the military to realize the effects of what happened five six

set years ago. Lieutenant Colonel Boz Patterson's retired military combat isiot, author of the New York Times bestseller Dereliction of Duty and Reckless Disregard. Well, it's great to have you on. Please come back on the show soon and thank you for your service. Thank you very much. Anytime, Dame Roland to do a quick one here we come back. I'm gonna tell you about bicyclists and why I have a beef with them, as well as some other things. And then we got roll calls. Stay with me. He's holding

the line for America buck sext in his back. Now. I don't want to be a hater, Okay, I'm just I'm just sharing with you some things that I think about. But what is it with people that ride bicycles in major American cities just being crazy? I'm sorry. I know there's a huge generalization, Like I've got family members that ride bikes in the city. I get it, right, But but when I say that, a lot of you are like, yeah, man, I don't know. I have lived in major cities my

whole life. And I have never come close to meeting my creator because of knock on wood, but because of a vehicle. But I have. I have been inches away from annihilation because of some guy who's like common through common through on a bicycle or you know, people on bicycles act like total maniacs. It's like, I'm sorry, I didn't know that I was one ft into your bike lane.

But you also shouldn't be going forty miles an hour through midtown Manhattan, or in the case of today, in downtown d C. There's people everywhere, right just because you're on a little thing that you're peddling fast, it doesn't mean that you're going thirty five and no one minds and no one cares. It's just madness makes me very makes me very frustrated. It really really does. Um. I find that there's just something about that. There's like an attitude that goes with it too. There's a there's an

attitude about riding on bikes. It's like all of you chumps who are on foot don't deserve my respect. And everyone who's in a car, you're like joying the world man with your green gas. You're greenhouse gas. You're the gases are so bad they're green whatever. Man, you know, there's a lot of that going on. Uh So I'm just I don't know what it is. Just today I almost got completely wiped out by a bicycle on my way to the office, and I was like, dude, you

know you know what I'm saying, Like, you don't. I don't think they're I don't think you're putting out a fire on the other side of town. You know, you could go like fifteen miles an hour like a normal person, because when you're growing twenty five on a bike and I know, I'm probably my speeds are probably I'm gonna get emails. Book, he wasn't going twenty five. First of all, some of those guys actually do go twenty miles an hour.

And you know, you get these guys who are messengers, and for whatever reason, the guys would take out food. It's different because they can't spoil the food, right, so they can't go super fast and have you know, pizza or lomain or whatever like flying all over the place. But the messengers, it's like they think that they're terminators with two wheels and anyone who gets in the way must be crushed. They need, they need to relax a little bit. So I I'm just saying random story I

wanted to share with you. This uh this, this just came up today. A man was arrested in Scotland over the weekend because he was carrying a potato peeler in a public place without a reasonable excuse, according to Breitbart. And now, I mean, this is how crazy the the anti sharp things mindset has become. Because there's been a big surge in stabbings and murders in the UK. So now they're looking to do something about it. What are they gonna do? Banned things? Because that's somehow gonna work.

But can you imagine being this guy? It's like, what are you doing that far? You're taking the potato pure? Are you nuts? And the answer is yes, you know you're you're taking away You're taking away guy's potato peeler on top of that, taking away his freedom. Maybe if if you can get robbed by somebody who's carrying a potato peeler, I'm not sure that there's much that can be done to save you. I'm not sure that that we're gonna be able to um pass laws that save you.

Becauld you just imagine, like, what am I gonna do that potato peeler. I'm gonna shave her ready with it a lot. It doesn't make any sense right when you start to think about this. But then again, for a long time, the t s A was taking toneenail clippers. Could you could you imagine that one? Like everybody freeze, I have a toe nail clipper, take two steps in the wrong direction and the cuticle gets it um by. You know you're gonna see more of this in the UK.

It's crazy. You're gonna see more of this where they start taking people's knives and try see it's deterrens. It's always deterrens prosecution. And give it some time. Here's my prediction, which right now I know is not a consensus thing. But give it some time and we you will see that there will be people, um, there will be people in this country who are saying, look what they did in the UK. They're banning knives and it's working so well.

And he'll be like, no, it doesn't work, dude. Why do you say these great Why are you calling me dude, sir? Because I just call people dude. Well, I object now it sounds like I'm having a breakdown on radio. But you get what I'm saying. I think that you're gonna see this expand in the UK, and in just a matter of time it will in fact be here. Still there'll be a sentiment state side. It's already there's a little like little bits of it in Um, there's little

bits of it in New York and Boston. Whereas I've told you, I worked for the n y p D and I had a I had a bunch of buddies who were sergeants with fifteen plus years on the job. Great guys know the rules backwards and forwards right their sergeants. They're managers of other of other officers. And I was like, so to explain gravity knife, I mean, they're like gravity knife. I don't know, buddy. I mean basically, if we want

to arrestue, you gotta gravity knife. We're gonna rescue and uh, you know you're not gonna go to prison, but like we're gonna arrescue. And I was like, uh, that doesn't really seem like a law. They're like, I know it's crazy, but you know, welcome to New York. Roll calls up next, Stay with me, Team Buck rallies together. Now Liberty, Truth and great Hair. Feel those funky beats. It's time for roll call. The flute never sounded quite so cool, did it. So there you go, let's get into a roll call.

My friends. Thank you so much for sending me your thoughts. Producer Mike while I'm on the air, reminds me please do for me all the emails for official Team Buck at gmail dot com. And I'm also going to just start having those forwarded to another email address so I never missed them. But the easiest way, as you all know, is Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton and that's where we're going right now for all of these. Uh we have Mike who writes Buck. My wife and I have

been listening to you since your Saturday show. Well, thank you, Mike. And by the way, that will be five years ago. The well I forget when the first day of the radio show was uh Stoates and some of the Oss Squad. They'll always remind me on Twitter. I think it was February of twelve. I think that's when I first got on the air. Anyway, So yeah, thank you, I'm saying original Team Buck squad, John who was running our board

in NYC. Was with me on Saturday, seeing me all grumpy, occasionally slightly hungover, just kidding, never but a little tired. And John was there with me to make sure that we gotta go. And so John, that sounds about right, Yeah, alrighty, So it's been about Oh no, that means it's been six years. Six years, dude, that's crazy. I've been in this game a long time. This is nuts. Anyway, Thank

you so much, Mike for being along with me. Mike continues on here quote, I'm retired military, serve for thirty years, and currently work for the federal government. In my current position, I spent two hundred days a year traveling, and I subscribe to your podcast, which is my go to while driving and or flying. Love the impressions and accents. Hillary never gets old. Thank you, but from me, your best

one is your Governor Cuomo. Your April nineteenth podcast was so funny that I was laughing out loud on the airplane and the guy next me probably thought I was a lunatic, while the Bruce Dickinson a k a. Christopher Walking may have needed more cowbell. I need more Cuomo shields, high, Mike, I hope you enjoyed the podcast. Wherever you listen around the world, just remember if you speak in a monotone with a vague New York regional as and people will

thank you all powerful. There you go, buddy, thank you so much for being with me original Saturday Squad, and also for having a cute family dog that is clearly your avatar. Can never go wrong with the labrador, can that. You know, Labrador is just it's like ordering the ordering the hamburger the restaurant. No one's over look Oh, shouldn't have the hamburger, please right, the safe bet always the hamburger.

By the way, if they can't make a hamburger, you should get out of the place, right, Same thing with the labor or no one's over looker shouldn't have gotten a lab They're just so loving and loyal and perfect. You know, labs are always a good move. You know. Look, if you want to go with a sheet Sue, that's cool, but just understand that you're living You're living life on the edge. You're kind of a wild man with your sheets suit or a lady. Uh next up? Dan? Oh wow,

whoa whoa Okay, Dan, I appreciate it. Um Buck was. This is a long message. I'm not gonnable to get to all but Dan, I will read all this, but I can't read it all on air because it'll be the whole segment. I was listening to yesterday's podcast and wanted to give another side of the Boy Scouts becoming

Scouts and co ed. Um. It's just mine, but as scout master that runs one of the longest running troops in Massachusetts, an Eagle Scout, and a pretty conservative guy, I'm gonna try to claim the normal guy ground here. I really don't think this is part of a liberal push to take gender out of everything, or the b s A saying there's no difference in boys and girls. It's about increasing membership and there for money. That's probably a big part. Um. Okay, look, I I'm not an

expert on the Boy Scouts, to be sure, right. I mean that's I told you. I was a Cub Scout for like a year and then I think it was too sad when it's like, hey, let's go see some animals. So there's some pigeons and some squirrels in Central Park. Let's go. Let's go look at the squirrels and the pigeons squirrel. So maybe it is about membership and money. And if that's the case, then that's the case. But I I do think there's and this is why I

try to tie it into some other things. I think there's a larger issue at work here about how boys are not allowed separate spaces, and there's I do think there's a push to make it really hard to have any single sex activities for for young people now. So there's that. But hey, if Dan, maybe a correct here about the the overall the you know, the the overall reason for this follow the money is is almost you know, it's almost always the correct plan if you want to

find out what's going on. So thank you very much Dan for your note. And hey, if I if if someone's got me on something, if they if I'm not getting it getting it completely correct, well then let me know. Um I want to I want to do it right here in the Hut always Amy next up, Hey, Buck quick question. As per the Caputo conversation on Tucker Carlson's show last night, Caputo is saying that the process is the punishment. The progressive establishment is going after anyone they

can destroy. Um. I think this is why Trump has advisors constantly jumping ship. Is this also why Jeff Sessions refuses to do his job because he wants to destroy any outsiders? Amy? You know, I like, I like a g Jeff Um. We've had him here on the show a few times. I think he's a good man who's

who's doing the best he can. I do so. I do also think, however, that in the case of the Russia collusion debacle and and the whole Special Counsel catastrophe, that he used the guy in the in the bar who I like the bar fight analogy because I really do think we're in the midst of a political bar fight. I know I'm be laboring the analogy, but I think that's a pretty good way to describe this. Uh, that the Sessions is the guy who is like, hey, like everybody,

let's let's calm down. And he walks outside, He's like, why don't we all get some fresh air? And inside like his buddies are getting chairs thrown out their heads. You know what I mean. It's not that he's on the other side. He's just I think a little too gentlemanly. Dare I say a little too much of a boy scout for our current moment where it is an all hands on deck brawl, right, it is a street fight, it is trench warfare. All those analogies I think are

really useful to describe this political moment. So and as to yeah, the process of the punishment, you know, I

say it all the time. And my one of the things that I bring to the show that I think is somewhat unique is I understand bureaucracies because I worked in a massive bureaucracy in the past, the federal bureaucracy, and and I you just get a sense of those of the politics and how rules and laws are enforced within them, and it really gives me an idea of one and how the deep state functions, but also how the political entities use these and and weaponize these structures

against their political opponents. So I've seen that up close and personal and in ways that I think hopefully influence my analysis here in a good way. Sarah, next up here, Hey Buck, I wanted to respond to the Kanye discussion from Wednesday's show. The way I took his comments about the choosing slavery thing is that a lot of folks still feel very angry about slavery and choose to live in that frame of mind like they're still feeling wronged

personally for something they were not a part of. That's what I took out of that statement. Yes it happened and it was horrible, but can we mourn the past without staying trapped in it? Does that make ends, well, Sarah, It certainly is makes sense from the perspective of I understand I think what you're saying, but I don't think I could say that. I think I know what Kanye was saying. I know this is I'm getting a little

wrapped around the axle here. I'm not really clear. And I've heard people say, oh, I know what Kanye was saying, and then they start to say it and I say, no, you know, you may be brilliant on other things, but your Kanye analysis, I think is a little bit of a stretch. So and I'm also I find this Kanye

thing interesting to talk about. But I've I I do put out the caution here that you know, he's gonna be like, socialized medicine is the greatest thing ever, and everyone's gonna be like, uh, you know, he's not a conservative, so don't don't forget that one. Um, Jeremy writes a buck laughing out loud at your fourth grade friend Andrew's

description of the birds and the bees. Thank you. I can actually tell you the guys here in the office heard me telling that, heard me on air, um telling that one I left, I left the door open, and sell them came by and they particularly like that. Yeah, it's one of the one of the guys just takes his private just smashes them into a woman a baby comes out. His name was Andrew. He was a year older than me, and that was the first time and

I was I was in the third grade. He was in the fourth grade, and and we were walking to our sports, you know, we had afternoon sports and we're walking to sports and he said that. Remember going like, oh gosh, is that really how babies are made? And I'm just like trying to you know, I didn't really understand the whole, you know, lock and key aspect of it. I just heard, you know, smashes his privates like that

doesn't sound fun. But anyway, I learned some things. Jeremy also writes there's a great organization like the Boy Scouts that is specifically for girls. The Girl Scouts. Jeremy takes the other side of this, called me, called me old fashioned, But even as a gen y millennial, I would not want my daughter joining the boy Scouts and being out on camping trips with boys during her grade school years. Shields, Jeremy, Oh, Jeremy,

thank you. And see, we've got different different folks on the team here, different members of Team Buck who view the boy Scout thing differently. I like that. I like uh, multifaceted, robust discussion of all these issues, you know. I like people who want to throw down here with their ideas. That's what this really should be. I want this show to be a vessel for your ideas, my ideas, all coming together so we can bring out the best in each other. Um. That's a perfect place to close for tomorrow.

Uh please do uh share the show with a friend and until our Freestyle Friday, Shields. I I'm really fortunate to have so many phenomenal sponsors here on The Buck Sexton Show.
