Trump Feuds With The 9th 'Circus'

is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again, The Buck Sexton Show begins hut on, Well, you go to the Ninth Circuit and it's a disgrace. And I'm going to put in a major complaint because you cannot win if you're us a case in the Ninth Circuit. And I think it's a disgrace when people file every case gets filed in the Ninth Circuit because they know that's not law,

that's not what this country stands for. Every case that gets filed in the Ninth Circuit, we get beaten and then we end up having to go to the Supreme Court. Like the travel ban, and we won. This was an Obama judge. And I'll tell you what, It's not gonna happen like this anymore. Everybody that wants to sue the United States, they file their case in almost they file their case in the Ninth Circuit. And it means in automatic laws, no matter what you do, no matter how

good your case is. And the Ninth Circuit is really something we have to take a look at. Welcome the Buck Sexton show. Trump criticizing the Judiciary Public League. Oh my, all the all clutching now from across the media spectrum, how could he? Oh no, nothing, judges too. You're going to hear a lot of how he's undermining our institutions.

This from people who, as we'll talk about later in the program, are still acting like there were stolen elections where Republicans won, and they have no evidence they were stolen, but they're still gonna say they're stolen because that doesn't undermine our elections. Someone needs to explain that one to me.

This from people who claim that Marco Rubio and others who were merely pointing out that in Florida there were election irregularities, there were failures of the people in charge of the elections in Broward County, in Palm Beach County. That just doesn't that doesn't count. In fact, to bring it up was to be doing Putin's work, according to media, because they didn't. They didn't want too much light to be shown on the situation. There. Maybe find some Democrats

doing some shady stuff. Wouldn't be the first time, certainly not give the last either. But this is a very important debate. Actually at the national level. There's a lot that we need to look at here, a lot to unpack, and it's been elevated a little bit because Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Roberts has gone after the president a little bit. As a result of this. He released a state Marie. He said, quote, we do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges, or Clinton judges.

What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them. That independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for. I think Justice Roberts is wrong. I think it's obvious that he's wrong. I think that he probably knows that he's wrong, but he believes that this is one of those lies that for the for the good of society, we all have to tell each other.

Are there left wing judges? This is a very straightforward question. Are there left wing judges that have an entirely different interpretation of what the Constitution says and also just an entire different approach to how one interprets the Constitution? The answers yes, and anyone who says otherwise would have to explain. How is it that I always know how Ruth Bader Ginsburg is going to rule on a major issue. I

always know. I always know how Sonya Soda my oer is going to rule on a major Keep in mind, by the time it's gotten up to the Supreme Court, there's been back and forth in courts, often different judges, different opinions. But I always know how the Libs on the Court are going to vote. I always know how they're going to come down with. You know, exceptions on certain issues that are not as hot button for Libs. But you know, if it's affirmative action, I know, Sodomer

is going to go to the mat for that. You know, if it's abortion, I know, and Ginsburg is going to do everything she can to continue to prop up that fake constitutional right. So this is just I wish we could speak to each other like adults. Why did we the left wing completely lose their mind over Kavanaugh over the summer engage in the worst, most disgraceful character assassination on national TV I have ever seen in my life. Because there's no such things as Obama judges or Trump judges.

There's just judges. Please don't speak to us like we're idiots, Roberts. This is also why I've been saying all along, the court is not nearly as conservative as many people pretend that it is. Roberts isn't isn't really a conservative. He's an institutionalist, So that means that some of his some of his inclinations will line up with conservatism. I think personally,

ideologically he may be somewhat conservative. He does seem conservative, but in terms of his view of the judiciary, he is very much He's kind of like a journalist at this point who believes that journalists don't have a bias. That's a nice ideal, that's a nice position to espouse and to It's a nice hope. It's not rooted in reality, though. What Trump is saying is rooted in the reality, and we the American people, we need to understand this that

judges are now in politicized roles. I wish it weren't the case. The Left has done this. They're the ones that have the living Constitution, and they're the ones that have this open ended view of jurisprudence that means that social justice overrides the will of the founders, judicial precedent, and the plain language meaning of written law. Words aren't words, words are whatever the Left says they are. They've been

doing this for decades. It's how they've gotten some of the biggest victories handed to them by the Supreme Court. And that's why when Trump responded to Chief Justice Roberts, I entirely agree with Trump's sentiment. Here he says, sorry, Chief Justice Roberts, but you do indeed have Obama judges, and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country. It would be great if the Ninth Circuit. This was

all on Twitter from our president. It would be great if the Ninth Circuit was indeed an independent judiciary. But if it is, why are there's so many opposing views on border and safety cases filed there, and why are a vast number of those cases overturned. Please study the numbers. They are shocking. We need protection and security. These rulings make our country unsafe, very dangerous, and unwise. Exclamation point. Trump is right, Trump is right here. John Roberts is wrong.

I don't think we need to beat around the bush. I think we can just say it. Trump has apparently a more if not sophisticated, more realistic understanding of what the judiciary and the judic branch overall has become. It's now a political battleground on political issues. I mean on issues of interpretation, things about you know, you know processes, you know, criminal procedure and things. Yeah, I mean you can get into some more specific stuff where there's not

really an ideological inflection point. It's not dictated by people's overall political ideological framework. And you know, the points of law that are arcade and you know, we need a bunch of legal scholars to figure out, well, what's fine on the big issues. On the important issues, the court is politicized. And one of the problems we run up against is that a conservative jurisprudence does mean that people

get a fair hearing before the judge. A conservative jurisprudence in the contemporary context is the law is the law, and I'm going to try to apply the law without favoritism, without idea logical proclivity entering into this. And you know, essentially conservative judges do what Robert says all judges do. Liberal judges look at the law and they go, Okay, well, what do I think the what do I think the outcome here needs to be? And then they reverse engineer

from that the decision they come up with. That's that tells you really what the difference is. And that's why there's this frustration on the right with well, our you know, our side, our judges, so to speak. You know. And by the way, just because you're appointed by it, let me Bush appointed, uh what was it? I think suitor was a Bush appointed? I mean, George H. W. Bush

had some terrible judges that he appointed. Reagan might have even I mean, I mean it was either George H. W. Reagan Reagan appointed a you know some I got to look back at the list of Supreme Court appointees. Make sure I'm not community any I mean, I'm right, I'm just I might be on this specific picks off the top of my head. Republican here, here's what I can tell you for sure, there have been Republican presidents who have appointed very bad, very left wing judges to the

Supreme Court. That has happened, and it never happens. On the other side. You find me a Scalia or a Thomas that was appointed by Barack Obama, by Jimmy Carter, by Bill Clinton, and doesn't happen. They always get They always get what they're going for, which is somebody who's going to pursue liberal policies for them. And this is going to be a big issue going forward because the Democrats, there's no legislation that's going to happen for the next

two years. Really, you're just going to have political fights in Congress and the executive branch battling with the courts, and courts may have to weigh in here pretty soon on some aspects of the Muller probe. They may have to weigh in on some of these congressional hearings. And you know what if the Democrats force a constant they keep talking about a constitutional crisis, well, a real constitutional crisis is going to be what if Democrats just think

that they're gonna subpoena the Trump administration into submission. You know what if Democrats in the House decide that they're just going to start calling senior members of the Trump administration before them for all their crazy fever swamp inspired conspiracy theories, do they get to just weaponize that process without any with without any pushback from the executive branch. I mean, that's where we're heading. That's what I think

you're you're going to see. So, I mean, I agree with Trump, and I think that Roberts, you know, is fighting a losing battle here to try to make us all believe that the judiciary is still this you know organization that or you know this really this brotherhood and sisterhood that has that acts apart from political considerations. It's just false. It's not the case. And I and I know that. People say, oh my gosh, Trump, you know, he's undermining the judiciary by doing this, and he's undermining

our democratic norms. And they say all this it's the same talking points all the time. It's all boring. It's annoyance what they do when I come at this and I say, can't we can't we start from position of honesty about the judicial system that we have and the way that it is trending and how judges are often acting. Can't we do that? Do we have to speak to each other like we're like we're frightened children and can't handle the truth. I know I had to go there.

But that's what we're doing right now. That's what's happening here. I mean, I think Trump is doing us all a service by at least forcing this conversation out into the light of day and get a better discussion going over this. But there's also the issue that came out of the New York Times at a piece some others about what what Trump may or may not have said with regard to Hillary and the emails and all that. So, oh,

we've got some of that coming your way. Mueller Probe updates the caravan crisis at our border, the crisis they said wasn't going to happen. Oh, it looks like it's happening. We also got Sean Parnell joining to talk about how does Howard's Trump dohm with the military, at least on in terms of perception and optics and some of the stuff recently, you know, he hasn't visited the military in the war zone. You're here in this this constant criticism

of the president on that issue. You know, to folks, the military care as sean about that and some other stuff. So we've got a fantastic text Thanksgiving Eve show planned for your enjoyment and entertainment, So stay with us. This is what happens in authoritarian countries. The president orders the president, the leader orders the investigation and prosecution of his political enemies.

I think it's prima facia evidence of abusive power. This is absolutely Donald Trump is basically running his office like he's ahead of a banana republic. I think this is a scandal at a fifteen on a one to ten level. He was essentially trying to use the apparatus of the state to punish his political enemies. So this is another another story out of the he did even true files.

But they're saying the big, big New York Times, A big New York Times piece yesterday from Maggie Habermann and Schmidt over the New York Times is that President Trump told the White House Council last spring that he wanted the Justice Department to prosecute Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey, according to two people who are familiar with the conversation. Now this then starts all the usual stuff. Oh he's authoritarian, Oh he's he's a despot, he's a dictator.

Notice how this stuff never happens. We always we always get the Trump wanted to do this authoritarian thing, where Trump wanted to do this monarchical thing, but he never does it. When I ask what is the what is the dictatorial thing that Trump has done? They go, he pulled the cost Us press pass. That's not that doesn't count. That's not enough. Sorry. Instead they say, oh, well Trump said this thing one time to someone that won't be named. That sounded like he wanted to be a dictator, but

he's really not going to do it. A lot of those stories, well, I would note that to be a dictator you have to actually do stuff that's bad. You don't. You can't just be saying things behind closed doors that make some people uncomfortable and take no actions based on them. I mean, I mean to actually be in the dictator club. Right, it's a little more involved than just you know, hears say about conversations happened a long time ago. But let's take a look for a second at the Hillary Clinton

side of this for a moment. And this this also is an important time to have this discussion, because we're being told, oh, the judiciary is not political, and James Comey, who we were being told until very recently not political. We were lied to about that Comy is an anti Trump hack. He has been all along. He's also a comyus. So he was willing to suck up to the President when he thought he could keep his FBI job. But he's an anti Trump hack and he bailed Hillary Clinton out.

He bailed the Democrats out and engaged in improper behavior to do it. So you know, I'm not somebody who thinks that the truth should be hidden from the public about judges or about the senior reaches, the senior most echelon of the FBI. And they essentially saved Hillary Clinton's

chances for the presidency at least. And now we're being told that the real problem is that Trump has a problem with that, that Trump thinks it's unacceptable that they, for obviously political purposes, bailed Hillary out for obviously political reasons, they decided that the law didn't really apply when it comes to Hillary Clinton. You know the journalists just that they have curiosity about things that support their narrative, they

have no interest in things that don't. And then they turn around and look at you and me and say, you know, why don't you trust us more? Maybe because they're not trustworthy? Has that ever occurred to them? Has that thought ever been there? Perhaps that we are just paying attention. And that's why we like when Trump refers them as fake news. And that's why I say that they are the enemy of truth, which they most certainly are. Did Trump want to prosecute Hillary? I don't know. Should

Hillary have been prosecuted? Abs so frigging lutely, How about the media focus on that for about five seconds. That would be a bit of balance, don't you think the arrogance, the incredible arrogance, as with a little measuristidity. It's possible that Jesus considered a princess and totally separate from the rest of the rules that the American government and the

president's cabinet and advisers would go by. When the new Congress get sworn in the House Oversight Committee, they need to seek nothing less of Ivanka Trump and her lawyers and the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She really are in my family. They basically took what they were doing in the business, the Trump Organization, and brought it to the White House and didn't care at all with what the rules were and what they can

and cannot do. This is the Ivanka email scandal that wasn't my friends, you've you've been hearing it from me. I'm going to be very consistent on this issue. Trust me. This is a giant nothingburger a vec fromage. This is just a total waste of everyone's time. But they they are giving the left wing base what they want, uh and and it also gives them an opportunity to really go after Ivanka, which which they want to do, which they really that's the plan. I mean, I see piece here,

a piece here, Ivanka. Um. You know, Ivanka Trump ignores rules because she doesn't treat the White House as a real job. You know that's They're gonna just pile on now and go after Ivanka. And I think so funny is Ivanka is from what most people would tell you, a liberal folks. Okay, so they have a very senior advisor in the White House who is sympathetic to their aims and sympathetic to their ideology. But they're just gonna trash her anyway because she's Trump's daughter and because she's

tied to Trump. Now I cannot defend and I will not defend the nepotism that has involved here. And for those of you who are gonna say to me, oh but buck, you know whatever you'd say, let me just tell you this. Just wait until there's a Democrat who makes his or her son or daughter like the you know, chief of staff of the White House, and conservatives and the right we're gonna sit there and say nothing. We're gonna say nothing. Well, let's let's understand we have principles

the other side doesn't. And it's now been established. You can take your kids and make them senior advisors in the White House, give them big government jobs with a lot of power and a lot of authority. We're gonna have to live with the consequences of that. There's there's just no way around it. I let's just be honest

about that. So that all said, I think it's interesting that Ivanka is a target for so much hatred and the left, considering that she's really just working on issues that are generally in the bipartisan realm of jobs and women and women in employment, women CEOs, entreprene nerves, trying to push trying to push for criminal justice reform along

with Jared. I mean, Jared's also not particularly conservative, right, So you've got two liberals that are very senior advisor not maybe not liberals, but at least center left that are senior advisors in this White House, and the left and the left still hates them, just hates them, cannot stand them. And it's because they're tied to Trump. But they on the email, I mean, this is just there's nothing here, folks. The emails all exist, they've all been

recorded or lawyers already talked about this. This has been out there for a little while. They known about this. You know, this was a it's a rookie mistake. It's a rookie mistake, but it wasn't. The difference between you know, classified email and just using email that is personal is night and day, call me use some personal email for his professional business of the FBI. I mean, lots of people did this. Lots of people have done this. It

just happens. I have a phone right now in my hand where I've got multiple email accounts, and you know, if I'm responding quickly, I might not pay attention to which email account I'm responding from. That's just that's a normal, everyday mistake. This is all just about record keeping too. There's there's no undue influence, there's no corruption. The records were kept. It's not that big a deal. But they're

trying to make it a huge deal. And and you know, I appreciate there was some other conservatives people were a little weak on this. Yesterday, I thought I was a little surprised. Look around, people say, oh, she made such a mistake. Like, no, it's not such a mistake. It's minor. It's just that they've blown this completely out of proportion because it involves somebody in Trump's family. And the ultimate goal here, now I really believe this. The left is

they realized that going after Trump. Trump's such a fighter. They realized that by going after him, you know, he's just going to roll up his sleeves, crack his knuckles and say bring it. But if they can, if they can really damage his kids, that's I think the plan they want to. They want to ruin his family, you know, they want to put his and especially his kids, because they look the First Lady, there's still she has a little bit of protection because we at least culturally. I mean,

I'm not saying there's nicetories. They were to Michelle. Obama's so amazing, right, please don't. I'm gonna throw up. But the First Lady is is on a little bit of a separate, separate area because that's not as a government position of real power. Yes, influence, but you don't have power as first Lady that's designated to you, but to be senior White House advisors that people either in the

chain of command have to answer to. You know that for me is that's the opening that they need in order to really try to take They want their top targets going into the twenty twenty election, and I mean targets for prosecution if they can, even if they know that Trump would eventually part them, doesn't matter. The prosecution would be humiliating. Think about that, you're a senior White House advita. Their dream scenario is to get Jared on

money laundering or tax fraud. Their dream scenario is to get Donald Trump junior on lying under oath in the Russian investigation or you know, or to get Ivanka on trademark infringement, you know, whatever it is, and to humiliate one of Trump's children or a family member of his, because it's deeply personal for the left. And that's why when this email thing comes out, they abandon all objectivity

right away. I mean, no serious person can tell me that Ivanka's email situation is even the same stratosphere as what He'll Clinton did and just lay out the facts, destroying the destroying the different hard drives with hammers, using bleach bit erasing thirty thousand emails, only using that email. By the way, this wasn't oh sometimes I used the wrong email because I was going between different accounts. Only Hillary only used that email because she wanted to control

over her entire record. Why oh, As I've told you along, the Clinton Foundation was why which Now, by the way, the Congress says they're going to look into this more. There's gonna be some investigation here at the Clinton Foundation. There's got some stuff. But the Clinton Foundation was the real vulnerability, because all it took was one shady email to come into Hillary Clinton about somebody saying, hey, this donor wants a meeting with you and wants this policy.

When you're president or whatever it may be. And that gets foyed because once it's in her inbox as a government official, it's in her inbox. So she wanted to control that. The Clinton Foundation was always the vulnerability for her when she was running, but she set up a separate email server and only use that. And she was secretary of State. The Secretary of State gets the PDB. The Secretary of State has access to the most classified stuff in the United States government. If Anka was like

in the transition, I don't even know. I don't even know if she was had an interim clearance at this time. The idea that she was, you know, seeing all this really sensitive. She's seeing classified information about our employment numbers. I mean, give me a break. It just doesn't add up. But that's where I have to remind myself. It's it's not going to add up because it's not about being accurate, it's not about being fair. It's just part of the

destroyed Trump effort. And I've the same way that I'll I'll talk to you a little bit later on the show. We'll have some Thanksgiving cheer. You know, I've got a couple of buddies joining later. We got a couple of veterans. We're going to talk to us about well the news, but also about some Thanksgiving thoughts, So that'll be fun. Sean Parnell my buddy Shampar, I was gonna do with us later on the show. It's always good to hear

from Sean. But the same way that I've just grown, I know so many of you have as well, tired of this Russia collusion blah, it's just all crap. We're gonna get so tired of the attacks on Trump because they're gonna be hyperbolic, dishonest, exaggerated, false. I mean, just throw throw in your your prediction here, because you know it's going to happen. And what's so disgraceful about is

that they won't care about any of that. They will not say, oh, you know what, maybe we shouldn't, maybe we shouldn't have such an oppositional attitude of the presi United States that doesn't take facts into account. Now they're gonna say, it's great, let's destroy let's destroy Trump whatever we have to do to destroy I mean, and that's why the Ivanka email thing, they're saying, that's gonna be what is Trey Goudy doing. By the way, what are

some of these Republicans doing? Oh, we have to investigate this, now, why what do they have to investigate. They're gonna they're gonna hold the hearings over over Ivanka's emails. And also, does anyone think that if the shoe were on the other foot, if the very fancy high heeled shoe with

a classic Italian leather. No, But I mean, if we're on the other foot, would would Democrats be calling for an investigation of, you know, a member of the Obama family Again, if the Obama family member was actually in a senior government position. But the answers no. We all know that Republicans love to play, you know, who can out boy scout the other one at exactly the wrong moment.

And you know, you do enough of that you end up in Jeff Flake situation where it's like, Oh, you're not a boy scout, You're actually just you're actually just a turncoat that no one can trust. I worry about, But the email, like I said, it's going nowhere except they're gonna make something out of it. Sometimes the story catches my eye. Team that's not in the usual realm of what we discuss said, this is definitely one of them.

But I've just got I've got some questions. So a tourist and he's actually a really a I guess, a self styled traveling missionary was killed on this island called North Sentinel Island, which is on the Andaman Islands, deep deep in the Indian Ocean. And this, this is this whole story just it's it's worth reading about. It's pretty it's pretty bizarre, but some interesting stuff going on in

the background of it. So you have the the Ediman Islands, this American tourist who was killed by arrows by the local tribesmen as soon as he set foot on shore. And that's because the Sentinel Lees, which is what they call the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island, are one of the very few tribes in the world who are completely cut off from the outside world. They have no contact with the outside world whatsoever. They have no electricity. They

became famous a few years ago. Some of you may have seen this where a helicopter flew over the island and the Sentinels were firing arrows at the helicopter. You know, I mean wooden bow and arrows like stone Age weapons stuff at the at the helicopter. But as you know stone Age, you get hit with a stone Age arrow, you're still hit with an arrow obviously, and that's what happened with this guy got killed. They also apparently wrapped a rope around around his neck. John Chow twenty seven

years old. He was an American and he was killed. And you have this tribe that's completely cut off from the rest of the world. In fact, the Indian Navy isn't even allowed to spend any time on the island, not allowed to approach the inhabitants. There's only one hundred and fifty of them. So it's it's this small tribe of people and they're they're known to be very hostile

to anyone. I mean, they essentially attack anyone who comes on the island, which you know, I would note that we have this idea of of the you know, of indigenous peoples around the world, as you know, in the pre colonial, pre Western expansion era, of living at some level of peace and harmony with nature and with each other.

And actually there was a lot of constant warfare. There's a lot of fighting over land and hunting grounds, and people have been killing people, uh, killing each other for as long as they've been able to lift rocks and throw stones. Okay, so we have this very very out of out of touch with reality view often especially from the Academy and from the media, of how, you know, well before before the European explorers shut up, it's like, well,

the Aztecs actually were eating each other. So I wouldn't go so far as to say that they were that advanced as a society by our modern standards, which is what we're judging so much by these days. Right. You know, we can't even watch sitcoms from the nineties because they're so offensive, So we're constantly changing our standards. But back to this North Centinel lease, I mean, I just wish that I had some sense of what this guy's what

this guy's thinking was. Who you know, it's tragic he was killed and what a waste and he lands twenty seven years old. He got a ride with some local fishermen. They've arrested the fisherman as responsible for his murder. They're not actually going to arrest any of the Centinel lease. I don't know how you know Indian law applies here, but this is essentially a situation where if you land on this island and they kill you, like, too bad

you landed on their island. You know, if you were shipwrecked here and you got full of spears, you're bad luck that you landed on North Centinel Island. But then there's this this other part of me that just wants to know whose idea is it to this one hundred and fifty people will live this way, almost like it's some kind of an exhibit at a you know, at a museum or something. You know, who thinks that there should be people that are cut off from the world.

You know, they're definitely living in much greater poverty and a much greater difficulty than they would with the modern conveniences we have for medicine and other things. I just think this is so strange. What what is the thinking here? You create this, this tiny enclave, this island where you know, there's no contact, no one's allowed to land there, not even the military's allowed to land there, and you've preserved this,

this ancient way of life. You know, one day someone's gonna do like a vice special or something from North Central Island, and you know, all of a sudden, they'll be walking around wearing I don't know, you know, T shirts from the twenty twenty twenty two you know, world series or something, and we'll be like, oh, okay, so you know, another one, another one that is part of the rest of the world of commercialism and everything else we've got going on. But this is just a fascinating

little story. The fact that there's even a place in the world where there's an island where people who are one hundred fifty people live and they have no contact. I mean, they've never they've never seen an iPhone, they've never seen a television, they've never used a phone, They've in in the year twenty eighteen soon to be twenty nineteen. I just think that's pretty remarkable. They're still hunting with not compact mean some of you are like buck Ey

bow hunt. No, no no, not composite compound bows with you know, one hundred and twenty pound poll pressure at all. No, no no, no, no, no, they're using an old school It's just it's just a really interesting story. So if you haven't seen it, check it out. And it's sad. Obviously this guy's family. I guess he thought he was gonna convert all one hundred and fifty members of this island and was a true believer and all that, but it's not a good plan.

I'm here to t tell you today that the reality is that there are currently over six thousand, two hundred individuals camped out south of the US border in Tijuana. Today, as I stand here in Mexicali, there are more than three thousand caravan members. The crisis is real and it is just on the other side of this wall. We're the most welcoming country in this world. We welcome more refugees in the United States and every other country in

the world combined. So enough, and you can't want to be a part of the greatest country on earth to not respect our laws. Seeking the better life doesn't qualify for asylum, so they're committing fraud. So that's just a stone cold fact this president needs to do, which hasn't happened in the pass is once they if they get to the United States and enter, they need to be

detained until they see a judge. Because the Central American population is run around eighty nine to ninety one will lose their case because they don't qualify for asylum, but they have to be in customy when they lose the case so they can be removed, which sends a strong message to the rest of the world that we are a nation of laws. We'll give you a due process, but you got to live by the judge's decision. Also,

gotta stop this catch and release process. By the way, notice how there's what six thousand now at the border. Two weeks ago we were being mocked for even talking about the caravan by the left wing media. Oh, there's not going to be a caravan at the border. It's all gonna break up. There's not gonna be there. They're never gonna get there. They can't walk there. These people

were idiots. Okay, it was obvious what was going to happen once the caravan informed they were going to get assistance and help, which they did to take transport to the border, you know, of the US and Mexico instead of the USA, I mean the in Mexico Guatemala border. That's exactly what happened. I said, that's what was gonna happen here. I've been asking about all this. So, yeah, they're probably gonna hop on a bus, which is what

they're trains, which what they did. But you know, the people that were mocking, mocking the notion of the caravan crisis a week or two ago. Now they're experts on

asylum law. See, they've just switched their expertise from caravan and travel routes to asylum because ultimately, this is one of these issues where if you're willing to just separate yourself from the reality, if you're willing to just forget about what we all know is obviously going to be the case, which is that these people are not going to be they're not going to be kicked out of

the country. Once they're letting into the country, there won't be the Interior enforcement to actually follow through on the law. You get to just be the person. It's like, I just want to welcome everybody. I just want to welcome everybody to America. I'm so welcoming. Yeah, that's a more

you know, self indulgent position, to be sure. I mean, it'd be nice to just say, you know, but I also feel like I wish that the uh, you know, I wish that the government would just pay for everyone's housing and everyone's food and everyone's medical care and everything's fun and I wish all that were the case. But you know what, it's not the case. It's not a good idea either. The government would it wouldn't work that way. You know. This is it's just like what Thomas Soul

said socialism. The best reason for it is it sounds good. The biggest reason against it doesn't work. And open borders and the destruction of sovereignty may make some people feel good, but over the long term, and in fact, depending on where you live in the country, over the short term,

it's really destructive and it is lawless. The biggest difference between our country and our society and our southern neighbors Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, The biggest difference we have other than our language is rule of law. Laws here count. Laws here are enforced not perfectly, but overall and in general, with the exception of a lot of immigration law. That's where the that's where the big hole is. That's where you got you know,

twenty million people in the country illegally. Yeah, those laws don't count. And then you've got the dish run around. Sometimes I think the dish is great on stuff. At times Durst lets me down a little bit. Dursh is, you know, run around and he's saying that this is different than the travel ban play clip nine. It's not like the travel ban. The travel ban, the president was explicitly authorized by statute to decide which countries to prohibit

immigration from on asylum. The president doesn't have that authority statutorially, but he has the broad constitutional authority to control our borders. That's right, That's what I've been saying the president. The president is correct here. He can say hey, he can't come into the country. Sorry. He has that constitutional authority to defend this country. See this is this is where the real disconnect is with the left, with the Democrats.

Borders are an issue of security, of national security. Who's coming into this country and who doesn't. The commander in chief has a say in that that can override specifics of some of these congressional statutes. You know. This is this would be like, you know, if Congress passed a law that said the president can't repel an invasion, the President turn around and say, oh, sorry, Constitutionally, I can act to repell and invasion without you know, your say so.

I have an absolute right as the commander in chief to defend this country and its immediate national security interests. Now, I know people say, oh, buck that would have to be litigated and argued. Well, yeah, but but there is there is a very well established jurisprudence around that. And that's why this Ninth Circuit, this Ninth Circuit judge, it's just the same thing you always get. It's the hashtag

resistance judiciary. It's the last line of Obama is to defense against Trump's executive authority, and they'll abuse it as much as they can. They don't care that they're wrong, just like they don't care that the Russia probe is going nowhere. At the end of the day, the point is to do it. The point is to abuse your authority. The point is to go for it when you can. So you know, I think the Trump is gonna win

at the Supreme Court level on this issue. But also you look at the Congress and you know, look, this should have been dealt with. This should have been dealt with by the Republican majority. I'm sorry, but they're not getting a good grade from me on immigration here. All right. They had a majority in the House and the Senate, and you know, damn it, if there needed to be a shutdown of the government, oh yeah, the one that's there's not going to be a shutdown coming up. Please now,

I don't think so. But they needed to have this fight, they needed to change some of the immigration laws, and they didn't do it. They weren't willing to do it. And now we're going to suffer the consequences. We're going to be right back to where we were before Trump got elected, where it's going to be a question of is America over or not in the next election, because if amnesty happens, America is never the same. It's never the same. You might have heard me talk about snippy

dot com. Well, it's a new social media site that doesn't have any of the left wing bias you see with many of those other platforms you already know about.

Snippy dot com is your new alternative social media. I think it is winding down. The President's answering of these questions doesn't happen in a vacuum. The other things we see off. For example, Special Counsel Maler is evidently going to allow General Flynn to be sentenced. It looks like Manaford is

heading towards sentencing. I can tell you, as an experienced former or prosecutor, that if you're intending to bring another big case and you think you have these witnesses who would be cooperating witnesses in that case, you don't let them get sentenced. You have them testify first, and then they get sentenced down the road. Just the fact that we have indictments that abroad, he's letting the witnesses or the potential witnesses get sentenced. That's sure signals like things

are winding down. I certainly hope our friend Andy McCarthy is right. I know he's not the only one who's sang it. But you know what Andy says that it adds a little oomph, you know, it adds a little there's a little more gravitas behind it. This analysis says that the Mueller probe is winding down. What a what a just a circus. The whole thing has been, I mean, what a waste of resources, a waste of time. Our elections are not any safer. We haven't any change in

US Russia posture. Russia still is gonna meddle when it wants to meddle and do weird things on the internet. And you know it's up to us to try to offset that with whatever defensive and countermeasures we have. Right, but the whole thing, I mean, this was in my first year on syndicated radio, which was twenty seventeen. This was the story that you just you couldn't escape, right, it was all the time, and day after day, Oh,

this Russia theory, that Russia theory. This person. I remember when the Don Trump Junior Kushner Trump Tower meeting came out. Oh my gosh, it was the end of the Trump prey. It was the end of the Trump presidency. Over and over again. Of course, all that was just hyperbolic crap. It was nonsense. It was not actually what we were at least if you believe the media led to believe. It was just them playing out this fantasy in real time about how Trump didn't really win the election, how

there was this Russian hand behind it all. And I have become exhausted with this story because there's so little

new information they ever add to it. Either oh you know, they're now and the information we want they're either redacting or we haven't gotten yet, you know, the information we really want to get, things like, oh, did General Flynn actually lie to the FBI or did they just decide to claim a scalp early on here to make this whole thing seem more legitimate and and make a very shady judgment call that, Yeah, he kind of lied, so let's act like he lied. They're gonna be sentencing him soon.

But oh, I think Flynn should be pardoned. I'm just gonna come out and say it. I think Flynn should be pardoned. I don't think they'd lied about anything that was material or right. People say, oh, he love, he love. Yeah, Well guess what. There are actually some distinctions in what the lie. There's some distinctions in the law about what lie is prosecutable and what lies not. And and if they said, you know, did you discuss sanctions with Sergey Kisliak on the phone, he goes, no, I don't. I

don't think. I don't think we talked about that, or you know, that could be a misremembering, that could be And it all depends on the context. Right, is it a willful and you know, knowingly and willfully lying about a material fact. That's what he would have to That's the threshold that the prosecutors would have to cross to get him. I just I don't believe, based on what we know, they crossed that threshold. I think that they just they wanted to get Flint. That's what I think,

quite obviously has been the case here. And you know, he's been really good on this and just barely held on to his congressional seat. If one I understand is Devin Newness who has been talking about this for a long time, and you know he's been a warrior on this issue. You gotta get the guy credit. He's taken so much heat from the left wing media. He's been willing to stand up and say, I mean, this is just this is just nonsense. And here's here's Devin Nunez

with the latest on this play clip ten. I mean, there was never any collusion between the Trump campaign in Russia. Sadly, you have like half of the Democrats in this country that believe that somehow the Russians change votes in the last election, and the people who have been spreading this poison out to be a shamed of themselves. So I'm glad that that maybe this is coming to an end. But I will I will stress I still don't believe it.

I won't believe it until I see it. I think there's some reluctance in the White House to actually to actually go out and release all the documents, the four buckets now as we call them, of the the Carter Page, FISA, the third Renewal, we have the Bruce or three O two's, we have the exculpatory evidence, and now we also have a fourth bucket of emails that the FBI was sending around that shows that clearly they knew what they were doing before they went to the FISA court. I wonder

why there is that reluctance. I mean, first of all, every everything that Newness is saying here, I essentially sign off on agree with. You know, I think people should be ashamed, but they're not because this was always about partisan payback and they've achieved that. If Muller, if the Muller Final Report comes out next week and it and it entirely clears Trump of any personal wrongdoing, which maybe

it will, maybe it won't. It'll probably say something about, you know, interference with government something or something, not obstruction, but close to obstruction. That's what the Muller Report will probably say about Trump. And then they'll leave it up to the impeachment process, which is what they want to, you know, be the only mechanism of justice that can be applied. So it won't be a criminal issue. It'll

be a political judgment issue. But even if that happened, you gotta stand, the left has gotten their way here. They have really hampered, they've really slowed down, they've weighed down the administration, and they've I mean, when I spoke to Trump about this a couple of months ago, he was fuming, and he should be. He's like, these people are nuts. I colluded with Russia to win the election.

The guy was doing three, you know, rallies, four rallies, five rallies a day, sometimes tens of thousands of people. He's a political phenomenon. And the secret sauce is some Facebook ad buys with Vladimir Putin given a wink and a nod. The secret sauce is somebody releasing some John Podesti emails that showed that they you know, didn't really the DNC wasn't fair to burning which by the way, they weren't. It was the truth. It's not even like

it was a disinformation campaign. The Podesta emails, the DNC hack. All that we found out from that was stuff that was actually true. So, you know, what are we even really talking about with that? But Democrats got their way here. The process is the punishment. The whole purpose of this investigation was to conduct the investigation, to squeeze people, to put them under duress, to isolate the president, to scare away his allies. That was the motivation behind this from

the start. Yeah, maybe in their in their dreams, they thought we could, you know, Trump will make some misstep, you know, I know a lot of them were hoping that Mueller would have this one on one showdown with Trump under oath, and Mueller would finally get him with a perjury trappe. Think about how that would have imagined.

For a moment they'd actually gotten their wish and Trump got a little trumpy and was a little bit fast and loose with an unimportant thing, you know, with but something that Muller might be able to make stick as a as lying under oath. Think of how divided the

country would have been over that. I mean, think of the ramifications of we're going to bring criminal charges against the president for this, you know, under perjury, underlying under oath, because we had him sit down for this bogus bullcrap Russia collusion investigation. I mean, think about the way that people would react to that. Who were Trump, think might be me and you, I mean, how would we feel about that? This is really what they pull. This is

the nonsense that's going on. You know, there's so much rewriting of the Bill Clinton saga to make it seem like there was this javert like ken Starr who was going after him and Monsieur Valjean Da Da da da those you whore lay miss fans. You caught that weird reference I just made. But the rest of your life is Buck having some kind of a breakdown. But the truth is that the Clinton stuff was all self inflicted. The Clinton stuff was corrupt beyond anybody's you know, beyond

anyone's imagining. And you know, I think that that's that's often as part of the retelling of things now, we're always led to believe that, oh, there's something so you know, it was so unfair what they did to the Clintons. No, it's unfair what what they did to themselves. Unfair. They didn't selves, by the way, the the Clinton Foundation report is out, and I you know, this is one of these things where I've been saying for a very long time that that you will see how corrupt the Clintons

are and it will be very apparent. And I was at c a end doing on air analysis in the election. I'm saying, the Clinton Foundation, the fact that no one's looking into this is appalling, the fact that nobody is really digging into what is clearly a pay to play scheme,

and they're there, they're full. You know, donations and everything for twenty seventeen have now been have now been put out there, and you know, they went from getting basically one hundred and twenty million dollars plus and donations to twenty million dollars plus. Yeah, that's right, all of a sudden, no one cares about charity. All of a sudden, no one cares about these causes that oh, oh, you mean they weren't donating to the Clintons because they wanted to

help the world. You mean they were buying access and influence. You mean the Clintons created a charity that was really affront for buying a seat at the table with the Clintons when she was going to be president, which is what everybody thought. It is disgusting. And there were so many people and I could even I could even name some names, so many people who were just a part of the Clinton lies, the Clinton lies around this issue and said, oh, yeah, that's right, it's all just about

charity work. That's why when she's not going to be president anymore, all of a sudden, the donations almost just just evaporate. The whole thing was a corrupse game. I'm glad that Congress says that they're going to look into this. I like this announcement for Mark Meadows. We broke it on the hill that there's going to be more because we should look deeper at the Clinton Foundation. There's there's

not just smoke there, there's fire. Fundamentally, we have returned to a nation that has decided it should be very difficult for people of color to vote. It was racially driven. I'm going to say if she'd had a fair election, she already would have won. Brian Camp, the man who basically pickpocketed Jim Crow and turned this election into a voter suppression election. He has been blocking African Americans from

voting for some time now. I think that Stacy Abrams election is being stolen from her using what I think are insidious measures to disenfranchise certain groups of another party is the law and order party, but clearly Republicans always tried to posture and position themselves that way, but they used the law when it benefits them. They cheat to win elections, they disenfranchise voters. If Stacy Abrams doesn't win

in Georgia, they stole it. It's clear. It's clear how the branch stole Christmas aka the elections down in judge all lies. By the way, I want to just remind you that yes, in the end, Kemp defeated Abrams, and that's the way it's going to be. But the same media that always tells you they're just there to just speak the facts, man, just tell you the truth. They're there to just make sure that we all know exactly

what's gone on and what happened and everything else. That same media is not at all feeling chastened or in any way like they should change their attitudes about anything after running with these wild accusations about the Georgia election based in no actual information, nothing, nothing, what's up they have? There's no evidence that kempt in any of these things. None. And all you have to do is look at Georgia

election law and no, this is all mythology. It was spread by the media in an echo chamber fashion without the most basic fact checking. I was astonished. Look, I have to research state by state how elections, who's in charge of Ward and what's going on. I mean, you know there's a lot of states. You know. Obama says

fifty seven. I say fifty. There's a lot of states out there, and when you look into what the truth is about Georgia, you find out that Kemp had nothing to do with the move you know, the moving polling places which have been moved since twenty twelve. Kemp had nothing to do with these different voter suppression measures which were all approved at the county level by different elected boards of you know, election people. There's nothing to do with him. And this would be like blaming me for

the crappy prime time lineup at CNN. I agree that CNN Prime time lineup is full of clowns and jokers, but it's not my fault. I didn't do that, right, don't yell at me. They're blaming Kemp and they're telling all these stories of voter suppression. Meanwhile, they had record turnout, So if there was a voter suppression effort, it was the worst voter suppression effort ever because it would have backfired.

You had a higher turnout then you usually would have in Georgia for governor's election, much higher turnout in fact, depending on the year you compare it to. And just the recklessness of these media allegations and they don't. They don't go back and correct anything. I mean, that's why, in the immortal words of the one and only mister Rush Limbaugh, the drive buys. Yeah, they just leave wreckage in their way, through wreckage and destruction and misery, and

they just keep on driving. Just they just destroy, destroy, and then they go on to the next thing. They don't go back and correct. They were spreading lies about this Georgia election. You know who was at the very forefront of spreading those lines. The Democrat candidate herself, Stacy Abrams play cliped four. It was not a free and fair election. It was not fair to the thousands who were forced to wait in long lines. It was not fair to the thousands that were put on hold with

their registration. Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia? He is the person who won an adequate number of votes. But you're not using the word legitimate. Is he the legitimate governor elect of Georgia? He is the legal governor of Georgia. Won't say legitimate. Won't say legitimate because she doesn't think he is, or she at least is telling people he's not. That's disgusting, that's disgusting. I remember when the big knock on on Trump was that he wasn't

going to accept the twenty sixteen election results. Remember that. And now we've gone through as a nation, been dragged through two years of left wing delusion where they've been refusing to accept election results, and we see that they've learned nothing as a result of all of this. I mean, nothing has changed with them. They still very clearly have a sore loser attitude anytime there's an important election that

doesn't go their way. And yet I'm quite sure the next time around they'll say, well, if Trump doesn't win re election, he may refuse to accept the results. You know, this is just something that they say, This is something that they will push out there, and the rest of us are supposed to just accept this for some for some reason, we're supposed to accept that this is you know that there's this. I mean, Jonah Goldberg actually wrote

about it this week for National Review. Hes like, there's just a huge double standard of the media coverage this. Of course there is. Yeah, there's a huge double standard, you know, And as I've said in the last few days, for Democrats, it's you know, heads we win, tales you lose.

That's the way elections go. You either you either didn't win legitimately you know, you cheated, or we're gonna still bash you for not accepting the election results even if you accept them, right, because we're gonna say that you

weren't going to accept them ahead of time. I mean, it's and they're gonna say it the next time too, even even when the Conservatives, even when Republicans go, okay, lost that, when they go, oh well, you know, maybe they will, they're gonna try to suppress the next one. They're gonna try to cheat in the next one. You know, there's no good faith that they offer on this ever. I you'll notice this is a recurring theme. A left doesn't doesn't approach our side with good faith on much,

on much of anything these days. So and it's troubling, it's troubly. But this whole Oh by the way, Mia Love actually ended up losing out in Utah, which was a surprise to some folks. So I guess Trump was right when he said maybe she should have been a little nicer to Trump. It looked like maybe Mia was gonna get the last laugh. But nope, that is not

that is not, in fact, what happened. It turned out that she probably would have been better off being a little more pro Trump and a little less off on her own there. Um, speaking of the speaking of the way that these elections have have shaken out, I've just got to say, you know, there there's also, um this this sentiment that that continues to get this attentional left that there's no such thing as voter fraud. You know, they always say, they always say this, they'll say, there's

no voter fraud. To speak, voter fraud is not a problem, folks, right, there's there's no why would anyone do it? They say? And this reminds me of when they talk about how women don't lie about sexual assault. Well, there are actually are very important, prominent cases where women have lied. Doesn't mean all women do, mean some women do. Very few people engage in voter fraud as a percentage, but people

do engage in voter fraud. And you know, this is a story that's going to get just the most superficial treatment, most superficial coverage. And it's out of California, no less. Here's the story from from NBC. Nine people were charged in connection with a voter fraud scheme in which homeless people in Los Angeles' skid Row neighborhood were given cash and cigarettes in exchange for fraudulent signatures on ballot initiatives,

petitions and voter registration forms. Prosecutors Tuesday. The Los Angeles County distric Attorney's office wouldn't identify a motive or details of the alleged scheme, but in May, two news organizations discovered that initial allegations connected to three of the nine suspects involving gathering signatures four ballot initiatives. This is voter fraud, which we talk about and we know it exists, but

it isn't exactly something that patrol officers deal with. LAPD Detective Megan Aguilar said on said back in May, so you know, this is a felony complaint about people circulating petitions with false names, voter fraud, registering a fictitious person, registering non existent persons. And you could say, Buck, why would anyone take this risk? Why would anyone be so dumb as to risk their own freedom and you know,

their own future. They try to get some extra signatures for a ballot initiative, and I say to you, I don't know you know, some people will rob a convenience with a gun for twenty dollars and go to jail for twenty years. I mean, people do things. But in the elections that we just saw, the margin of victory was so narrow in some of these cases that you wouldn't need a big scheme of fraud at all to

throw the election to one side or the other. I mean, when you're talking about a separation of just the thousands or even hundreds of votes, that's not hard to do. That's not hard to rig. So I highlight the story just because you will continue to hear the left never budgetes on this. They start off with there's no such thing as voter fraud, and they hope that people just believe that, and then when they're called out on that lie, they say, well, voter fraud is not a big problem.

It's not a real problem. No, it's a problem. It happens, people cheat in elections. Don't forget because they what they want to do is make it seem like any voter integrity measures are about racism and voter suppression. That's their preferred storyline here, that's what they say it is. Meanwhile, oh no, it's actually about fraud and preventing it. Don't bring in the prospecting. I say, we trust until we don't. We got ourselves. Indeed, brother, you're in this Getting Out.

That's from Mayans MC, a new show on FX just had its first season out this year. We have one of the actors from Mayans joining us now, Vincent Vargas. He's an Army vet and also the author of a new book, Light the Fuse, that is out now. Vincent, thank you so much for forgiving us some time. Thank you. I'm just honored to be out on hire. First of all, tell us how did you transition from being in the s VIS to being on a show that's a spinoff of Sons of Anarchy? How that happened? It was crazy.

I started out doing YouTube about six years ago. YouTube videos and if they're kind of progressed, you know, me and my friends producer own movie, and if they're kind of continue to progress and trying to grow in the space. So I didn't want to be a YouTube guy in my whole life. I want to try and step into the mainstream media. And I went to one audition. They needed a big Mexican with tattoos, and luckily I fit department. Wait did you did you get? Did you really get

your first audition? It went your way? That's and I feel like in Hollywood that's like impossible. It never happened. Yeah, it's unheard of me. I've done so much work on my own from filming my own stuff, producing my own stuff. They had enough content to find to see what I was able to do in my capacity of acting and so um, you know, for the character it worked perfectly. So I was just very fortunate. And what do you do when you were in the army? Who was the

second of the twenty fifth Range of Regiment. I did that for four years, deployed three times with them, and then I got out and I'm still currently in the reserves right now. I'm an Army drill sergeant. Wow, okay, man, Well, tell me tell me a bit about this book that just you just have it out now, Light the fuse. Yeah,

you know. Um, throughout the years of being being on social media and becoming you know, someone that people follow, you know, and being out there to influence, I decided I wanted to bring a lot of my life experiences and put them on paper for others to follow. I've been doing a lot of public speaking about transitioning out of the military and and some of the toxic mindset I've had myself. And what I wanted to do is put that on paper, you know. I wanted to give

people the honest answer. Here's what happened to me. Here's the things that I went through. Here's the negatives and the positives. What went well, what didn't go so well? You know, And I felt that, you know, since I am in the limelight right now, if I can provide some kind of value to two other veterans getting out and having trouble transition, then so be it. Well, what were some of your challenges? I mean to talk us

through some of this? Oh man? You know, being Special Operation for so long, I was so dedicated to the job. I committed to it more than I did my family. Um, and it cost me that, you know, I went through I've been through two divorces now because of my addiction to being good at my job, choosing work over family. And now at my age, I've missed so many years of my kids' lives, from birthdays to recitals, to to to to births, that I refused to do that anymore.

And I choose to say yet the family more often. And this is something I talk about in the book and balance. I try and balance my life. Uh, and it was never so balanced before, and so that's why I was. You know, one of my struggles was, you know, I became a single parent for kids, and now I

had to balance my life. And so when that happened, it really changed my mindset of all the decisions i've i've I've made throughout the years of my career, and in that in that career transition, Vincent, when when you finally decided you were going to get into the content creation business, how do you make that jump? It was tough. You know, my friend is one of my friends, Matt Best. We were arranged the town together. Oh your friends of Matt. I love Matt from Black Rifle. I don't realize your

matter of friends. That's great. I'm the big Mexican guy in all his videos. I didn't realize that something fun at it. You know, we were connected through Nick Irving the Reaper. I didn't realize you and Matt Best are friends. Now now you're like family. But continue on. You were saying yeah with me and Matt, we were in a second right of the town he started Article fifteen clothing. I lived in El Passo at the time. We started doing videos together because he said they need can help it.

From there, it grown, it grew, you know, and I learned office by watching Matt and JT, the two guys who started article fifteen with the other guys, and so as I continue to watch their progress and how they did it, you know, I was learning. I was just like a private on a job. I was sitting there

and learning from them, learning what they do. And as they got to the point where I wanted to branch off and focus on what I felt more passionate about was my family and helping veterans in my aspect and where I believed that was more powerful, and I decided to go my own route, you know. And you know we still owned less fingers with you together. You know,

we still work on several ventures together. But you know, I had to focus on what I was more passionate about, and it was it was trying to speak on the transition side of things for veterans. If you could go back and tell younger you, we're speaking of Vincent Vargas, author of A light Diffuse Vincent do you go back and tell younger you, right when you were making that initial at that initial period, when you're transitioning out of special operations, what would that one piece of advice be,

And it would be not to slow down. I felt that once I got stagnity, man, I started pointing fingers, you know what I mean. And when I started pointing fingers, you know, I let drinking uh slow me down and then and then it was just this downward spiral of crap because, you know, because I was, oh, the fear of missing out. I felt like I was missing out of what the guys are doing overseas. I was so

worried about what they're doing. I stopped thinking about what I was doing, and as they're continuing their lives I was, I was detweeting. I was not. I was not improving, and that killed me because it set me back several years, I believe, you know, it's set me back a while and for me to finally figure it out, I've actually gotten into the border control and that started my path, but it really that was still just another I was still just doing the same job it was doing the

military and NAT border control, you know. But I would definitely tell myself. Just keep going towards the mission. Keep keep moving, because once I got stagnant is when I really started feeling more depressed and having a lot of issues with that. I hear you. I always tell myself, and it's been a mantra that I've adopted for last ten years. Just take action. Take action much better than the alternative. First of all, Vincent, thank you for your service.

Good luck to you with the show Mayans, and also with the book Light Diffuse. You can get it on Amazon. It's Vincent's stories, some advice and Vincent really appreciate you joining and happy Thanksgiving to you and yours my friend. Come back anytime for sure. Thank you very much. I appreciate it all right, team, We'll be back in just

a few moments here with the Sean Parnell. So. Trump has gotten a lot of attention recently from people that want to criticize him over what he says about people with military some people with military service, what he's done with regard to the troops and all of that. And there's even this poll that they Hill where I work put out that says that eighty eight percent of people want or believe the president should visit troops in war zones. So I figured, let's actually bring somebody on. He's got

combat service in the military. Also a bestselling author, decorated war hero, all around kick ass guy, a great American. Sean Parnell is with us now, everybody. He is the author of Outlaw Platoon, which is a nonfiction about his time in Afghanistan. Great book. I've read it cover to cover. Also the author of the new novel Man of War, which is very highly regarded and doing very well. Mister Sean Parnell, great to have you back. Hey, it is great to be here. You're excited to be with you.

Thank you, my friend. So let's just start with some of this, okay, because I feel like, on the one hand, you know, you hear all this stuff about Trump all the time, about how you're hearing from the media. Of course they're saying, well, Trump hasn't visited our troops in the war zones. He hasn't been overseas to visit them.

And I always want to say, Okay, the poll about whether Americans think that president should do that matters less to me than if we could get a poll of do the troops want him to visit do they really care about him visiting them in the war zones? Per se? I just want to pose this to you, man, what do you think I mean? Is this? Is this a miss Is this a misstep by the president? You know what I do? It does bother me a little bit that he hasn't visited the troops in either Iraq, Afghanistan

or somewhere else. Um. You know, his title was commander in chief, and so I think that the president, whether it's a Republican or Democrat, buck, I don't care, but I think that the president has a duty and obligation

to our troops before anything else. He's their commander. And you know, it would be kind of a pain when you're when you're in combat, you know, a VIP comes, it's always kind of a pain to sort of seize combat operations and get out of your get out of your rhythm a little bit to accommodate those types of visitors. Everybody hates the dog and pony show, but I do think that deep down inside the troops, like when you're in those types of situations, it does matter that it

does matter to them, man. I mean, it's really important to know that the president your commander in chief has your back when you're in the field and you're putting I mean, you're putting your life on the line every single day when you're over there. I mean, you know, in many cases, I mean, you you convince yourself that you're living on borrowed time, and you want to know that the mission worth it. And I think I think the President communicates that the mission is worth it by

simply showing up, you know. And so you know. On the other hand, that the president's only been in office, I mean, what two years now, so he has some time, but I would like him to make it a priority because I do think it's important. Why do you think he hasn't gone. I mean, I feel like the two groups that this president deep down does have a lot of respect for at his core and is pretty unwavering on in terms of the way he feels about them

in general, our military and law enforcement. I agree, I agree, And it's it's difficult to know. I think, you know, I read an article today about Maddis telling him that he should be hesitant about visiting war zones, and I'm not entirely sure why, uh SECTF Mattis gave him that advice. But if I if I were advising the president, I would I would tell him, Look, you know, the Secret Service is gonna is gonna have your back when you're over there. They're gonna make sure that you're safe while

you're in these war zones. But you gotta go. We gotta make time for it on the schedule. Uh, just to sho Like I said before, like so much of being a leader, whether you're a combat leader or some sort of political leader in Washington, it's just you just gotta show up. You gotta show up and show that you care. And it's inconvenient, you know, it takes time. On there's a lot of things that the president needs

to be focused on here domestically. In fact, his agenda putting it putting America First is a major part of his agenda. But there are troops serving in harm's way, and I do think he needs to make the time to go talk to them and meet them because it is important. Do you think that he's also is he starting to develop a problem with you know, he went after McRaven a little bit, and mcgraven goes after him, right, and mcgraven's a Democrat, just you know, he's a Democrat

and served his country only. But the guy's a Democrat and he got into the political realm, right. I mean this is you know, we can try to we can walk and cho gum, we can separate these things as as adults do. But that said, I mean, you know, now people always saying, you know, he went after McCain's service, he made that crack about you know, getting bin laden faster,

and you know there's some of this stuff. Do you think he is he creating a problem for himself with this where even even some of his Look, I mean I'm sitting here, I'm I'm a pretty strong Trump defender, and I'm like, I kind of wish he would just not do that thing. Sometimes I agree. I mean, look, I didn't like when he went after McCain. I thought that was tasteless and unnecessary, and I called him out

on it. Then. Um, you know, but I think that the mcgraven comment, you know, I mean, people don't like Trump's style. I get that, but everybody wanted to catch Bin Lauden sooner, and I think, what Trump? You know, He later Clarifier's remarks to say, like, look, we had ample opportunity from Clinton to president Bush or well, mostly under Clinton's presidency, we had ample opportunity to go after

and catch Bin Lauden before nine to eleven happened. And while I think his comments could have been phrased better and made into less of an attack on McRaven, I mean I think everybody. I think everybody would have liked to catch Bin Ladden sooner and faster than that. I just think that one that was more of a of a the way Trump speaks thing instead of it. I don't think Trump is trying to be disrespectful to anybody in uh yeah. But but I also I'm always torn

with this say I don't have a problem. I don't have a problem with Trump. I don't have a problem with with the president. You're exercising his First Amendment right to criticize who he wants to criticize, like this, this idea that you know, oh well, it's it's not presidential, And I guess I just I find myself scratching my head at well, who gets to define what's presidential? You know? To me, I part of what I like about Trump, and I think part of what his appeal is to

the masses. And believe me, I'm surrounded by blue dog Democrats out here that are gonna vote for him again in twenty twenty. There's no question about it. Part of his appeal is that he doesn't always say the things that you like, but at least you know he means what he's saying, you know, And there's a certain appeal to that. And whether whether or not it's it's you know, people just think that he's authentic Buck, and I think

that that is the appeal. Whether you like what he says or not, people people feel that he is being honest with them. Yeah, well that's for sure. Definitely definitely lets it fly. So you know, there's some interesting, interesting shades here to the conversation with the president. But I want to switch gears because obviously, Sean, we're all going

to be stuff in our faces here pretty soon. It is the one day of the year, I guess, other than your birthday with birthday cake, when it's just expected that you're going to loosen up the belt and go for it big time. What are some of the either culinary secrets or wonderful Thanksgiving traditions of the the Parnell

Crew stretching back for generations. Well, we all I mean, we always do turkey, and we always do gravy, we always have ham, and on occasion we'll we'll have pasta, right because I come from you know, half of my family as Italian, so we do spaghetti with meatballs as well. Um, it's you know, and I think, I think for us, the most important thing about Thanksgiving is you know, getting

together with your family and celebrating family. You know, all too often in our culture today, I mean it's like, I mean, we I feel like in many cases, we don't focus on the things that matter to us enough and just like take a deep breath and look around

and appreciate the things that we have. And part of what I try to do with with with my family and my kids, especially as teach them to appreciate the food on the table, because I mean, you know, having been deployed to Afghanistan and was in Korea and really been all over the world during my time in the army, the other countries don't have the same things that we do.

And while it's while you do appreciate other cultures and the time spent in those countries, for the most part, it's always nice to come home and just be able to, like go to the grocery store and get every type of food you can possibly imagine and spread it all over the table and eat and then eat again, and then eat again right before you go to bed. I mean, it's just something that other countries don't have, and it's something that I think that our kids, especially the next generation,

need to learn to appreciate real quick. Sean, before to let you go to the top of mind, what are you thankful for right now? The two sentence version. I'm just thankful for my family. You know. Every year, I just consider myself so blessed that that I had a family that always supported me no matter what, you know, and and also friends, you know, So I'm appreciative and thankful for those things. All right, man, I'm with you

on that Sean part. Now, everybody check out Man of War is new novel if you can get on Amazon. It's a great read. And also if you haven't not already read his memoir of the front lines Afghanistan Outlaw Platoon. Sean, thankful for you, buddy, thanks for coming on the show. As always, We'll talk to you soon. Thanks Buck, Happy thanksgiving everybody you two man. All right, Timmy, I'm more on the way stay with us. Background checks can be

a sensitive situation. Usually you go through with them, they're fine, right, But what about those murkier cases. What about where there's a red flag that comes up. You don't want your HR department to make any mistakes. You want them to have the information they need. That's why you need Global Verification Network. Global Verification Network is the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. They are federally

certified as a veteran owned small business. I know the CEO personally, Mark Buckman. He is a great guy and his whole team will make sure that you get the best service and the most efficient possible answers to your cases when it comes to background investigation and vetting. This is who you want, no matter how big or small your company is, to be doing your background checks. And if you're gonna have a company, you gotta have background

checks for employees. Go to MYGVN dot com. That's MYGVN dot com or call eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine Global Verification Network. Leave no stone unturned this case. We have students that are not prepared or not doing Also, we say perhaps we can solve the problem by capital or not capital letters. And it's kind of like it's a depressing moment the entire life in academian. We used to think that British intellectual life was the hallmark of the Western world and that whatever

mistakes we made, we could look toward Britain. This was TS Eliott and C. S. Lewis and the Regions professor of Greek at Oxford. And to think that they've fallen into the same sad political correctness that we have is really depressing. Maybe too many people are going to college, you know, you think that we're losing this generation in the West that is worried about capital letters. They're not having children, they're not getting married, they're not buying homes,

they're prolonging their adolescence. And maybe it's they shouldn't be in university and they could be much better and noble professions like plumbing, electricity, that we really need trade schools. But something's gone wrong with the university and it's not just pernicious to the student, but it's starting to affect the entire society at aren't Victor Davis Hansen make making a lot of sense? There? I would not Major Davis Hansen saying a lot of things that well, we've been

noticing for a while here in the Freedom Hut. But I gotta tell you this was a new one for me, the banning of capital letters. I had never come across this as a thing before. It turns out that at Leeds Trinity University, which I guess is in the UK, they've been told in the journalism department to avoid capital letters, and I just I don't that's usually ago, Okay, I know why they think this is offensive or that is offensive, but they think in the journalism department, remember, journalism is

supposed to be about getting to truth. Journalism is supposed to be about the exchange and dissemination of ideas, and in that department they think that that capital letters could quote scare them into failure and instead suggesting using a friendly tone and avoid the use of negative language in general.

I gotta say, if you're going to be a journalist who's worth reading, you're going to have to use a very very negative toad on a lot of issues, and certainly on the modern academy's view of creating a completely cloistered life of the mind, I mean creating this life of the mind that doesn't have to deal with the trials and tribulations of being an adult who is engaging with the world around him. This is the snowflake syndrome. And we know all about this, but this was a

new one for me. I've never heard of banning capital banning capital letters before, and I just had to note that. Victor Davis Headson is like, what is going on? It's not just here in America. I don't know if we take comfort in that or if it should make us even more scared. But it's not only in America that we have this. It's it's in broader Western society now, and and it just makes me think about how there are these other countries where they don't they don't have

this problem. You know, they're they're very sure of themselves. Maybe those countries and those cultures shouldn't be, but they're not constantly being taught and teaching their next generation to undermine them, undermine themselves, you know, to think less of their abilities in the world, think less of their role in the world. I found this New York Times piece speaking of all this really interesting on China and how China is influencing our culture American culture in one of

the most powerful ways that it can. Think about this for a moment. How many movies have you seen the last ten years where China are only near peer economic and military competitor. How many movies have you seen where China isn't even necessarily the bad guy but is depicted in an unflattering light. How many times have you seen a major Hollywood picture recently where China was, you know, in any way being undermined, or you know, you talked

about Chinese human rights issues things like that. Oh, there's a reason for that, and it's that the Chinese market is so large and so powerful that now they're making demands about how the American market depicts them. That's right, China is dictating to Hollywood how Hollywood will show Chinese issues in movies. And I don't mean Chinese language movies. I don't mean movies specifically about China. I mean blockbusters

like Mission Impossible series, movies, stuff like that. You'll start to look at the list here, or if you go to this New York Times article and go, wow, China's involved in some very very big movies, and you know, the most the most clear example of this is that in Red Dawn Wolverines in Red Dawn, which is about the Soviet and Cuban invasion of the United States. It's kind of a cult film. I mean a lot of you like book. It's amazing. I mean it's okay, it

has its moments. They made they did a remake of it in twenty twelve, and Red Dawn remade was supposed to have the Chinese invading an American town. But guess what. MGM spent a million dollars digitally erasing evidence of the Chinese army in every single frame and substituted North Korea for China. That's originally it was an invasion by China, and then they changed it's that it was an invasion

by North Korea. And this was at the request of the Chinese government slash Chinese market, meaning their box office. They even got rid of a character called the Ancient One from Marvel Comics, who was an elderly Tibetan man, and replaced him in the Doctor Strange movie in twenty sixteen, with the actress Tilda Swinton playing a Celtic version of

the Ancient One. So they turned a Tibetan into an Irishman, which probably was a surprise to fans of the comics, and the movie Seven Years in Tibet, for example, really upset Hollywood so much so that Brad Pitt isn't welcome, I'm sorry, upset China so much so that Brad Pitt isn't welcome in China now because he starred in that movie. So they're involved in co financing more and more of

our own films. Now. Part of this is obviously an economic incentive, but politics is downstream of culture and our perception of ourselves visa each China in the world are affected by the mass media depictions that we see. Oh it also explains why the movie Great Wall was made. I told you that Matt Damon Great Wall movie was so bad that I couldn't get through ten minutes of it. That was Chinese financed one hundred and fifty million dollar

China Hollywood coproduction, and it was a complete flop. I mean, it was a true it was an unintentional disaster movie as in the movie itself was a disaster. But you see these indicators, these early indicators right now, and there's only one way this is going, and that is that there's going to be a cultural and perception struggle that

we have with China. And I just note that while we're being told don't use capital letters because it could scare us, and you know, we need to deal with our history of colonialism and racism, China is being told your rightful place in the world is number one. All their kids, all their generations coming up, that's going to have an effect. So Thanksgiving as a holiday, but is it non controversial? Is the notion of coming together with friends and family to show our thanks for the blessings

and the good things in our lives? Is that something that we can all get behind? Or are there social justice warriors a little bit upset at the prospect of this thing called Thanksgiving? Is there some basis upon which, or for which through which whatever the proper preposition is that they can express their outrage about Thanksgiving? And now was there something? Oh, that's right? There is a sense out there amongst some on the left that Thanksgiving is, in fact not just a day when we all eat

too much. I think the average Thanksgiving feast comes in at something like thirty two hundred calories. There's something just very gluttonous. Don't worry I'll top that. But is that? Oh no, that's right. There's more than that, because Thanksgiving, according to some folks on the social justice left, is racist. The hosting event called thanks but no Thanksgiving. It's about decolonizing all of it, about finding the racial problems and

the cultural problems with it. What do you think about that? That's great? I mean, but like doesn't help natives, does it. Yeah, there's definitely a racial history or a racist history to Thanksgiving, Okay, and that should probably definitely be addressed more um in education. The whole concept of like taking land and assigning of value to it through costs, just like it was different through European cultures. Oh, I mean, yeah, sure there are

racist aspects of its history that What would you find racist? Um, the fact that we're celebrating taking away land from natives? Okay, Okay, it's pretty racist. Well, it's just about like honestly, like, I'm not super ucated on the topic, but I just know that it has to do with the way that the settlers kind of treated the the native the natives

who lived here. Now that audio comes to us from Campus Reform, and they do this, right, they go around on college campuses and they ask people questions to illustrate prevailing attitudes among college kids, usually about political issues, but on this one Thanksgiving, and it goes on and on, and to be fair, there are some young people they ask who go, well, you know, I really think it's more about giving thanks and coming together as families, really

not about racism or colonialism. But I also want to point out that, you know, for a lot of these young folks, and myself and my peer group and really anyone included in this, sometimes it's it's I think too easy, and we can be too quick to point at them and be like, oh, they're so ignorant, Look at them. They don't know anything about this, and so just saying it's racist because they're so dumb, I mean, sometimes that's

really warranted. But there's a component here that I can't help but notice, and that is like, how many of us really know a detailed history of Thanksgiving off the top of our head. Very few, very few? In fact, you know, we kind of know something about, you know, the Pilgrims and Squanto and the natives, and there's some food exchange and there was maybe a tough harvest that you know, we don't really get too into the details.

And I think that instead of viewing this all the time as oh, look at these look at these kids who have been brainwashed, I also think it's look at on a college campus, for example, look at the kind of totalitarian left wing echo chamber that they all live in, such that it's not strange and it's not even beyond our comprehension why they would take this position. You know, if they have any doubt, say it's ray. And I don't mean that because they think it's racist. I mean

as a form of self preservation. That's where the culture is these days. You see what I mean. It's really about how if they don't immediately say well, you know, you could always say oh, it's not racist, okay, and walk away from that. But if something is considered on the left to be racist or full of oppression and colonialism and white privilege and all these these terms and ideas that the left doesn't just embrace but enforces them,

I mean that's the really key distinction. So as a as a safe bet, if you're on a college campus and you're being asked about something and you know there's some generally vaguely racial aspect to it, you might as well err on that side, right. So I have some sympathy for these college kids who don't know the history of Look, they should know, maybe a little more of the history of Thanksgiving they do. And some of them are obviously ideologues who are oh my gosh, it's so racist.

But you've also got to leave open the possibility that there are some who just don't want to be accused of being racist themselves, and so when they when something comes up and it triggers that part of their mind that goes, oh, I think that there's I'm being asked if this thing is racist. Maybe I should just be safe and go, yeah, this is kind of racist. Yeah. On the one hand, it's funny and it's worth pointing out,

and that's why we're doing it. But there's also a part of me that wants everyone to understand at least that that's not really a silly position for them to take under the circumstances. Better to be the person who goes along on a college campus and says, oh, yeah, that's racist, right than be the person who goes, no, that's not racist and have everyone started yelling at you. So I try to take different things from some of these encounters that we see on the on the college campuses,

and that would be one of them. And yes, Thanksgivings about being thankful. So it's a pretty for holiday. A lot of people I know say it's their favorite holiday, which is interesting. I also maybe another time we'll talk about how the Christian roots of Thanksgiving seem to often get lost in our contemporary culture. For another time, Roll calls up. The show ain't over yet, folks. It's time for Roll Call, our last roll call before Thanksgiving. Team Man,

how the time does fly? I'm looking forward to it. I'm heading up to New York City to be with the fam, be with my family up there. I have two brothers who have birthdays this week, So Mason Man if you're listening, also known as Mason, my older brother, happy Happy Birthday in advance because I won't be on air for your birthday or the greatest big brother guy I could ever ask for. And I'm gonna be celebrating with both my brothers, Mason and Keats this weekend in

New York. Mom is going to be cooking a fantastic turkey. She's incredible with her her turkey cooking skills. So I'm really looking forward to that. And you know, my only thing is I feel like sometimes I want to mix the sweet potatoes and the mashed potatoes. And the thing about that is they're good on their own. I don't know if they're really good mixed together. They get a little accidentally mixed up. But do I want to intentionally

mix sweet potatoes and mashed potatoes? These are the questions that keep me up at night. The good news is there's no arguing about politics in my family because everyone in my family is a sane, well read, and thoughtful patriot. So we don't have to worry about that. That's nice, isn't it. At least everyone of my immediate family falls into those those categories. So we have Oh, I put up a poll on Facebook, by the way, the best Thanksgiving side dish, sweet potatoes or stuffing? I have? I

don't know, a thousand votes so far. We'll see what ends up. We'll see what the total total is when it when it comes in. Now, I said, roll call, So let's do the roll call. Hold on, where where did it go? Here we go? We have If Marie writes, if dressing had been an option, I would have chosen that I do not like stuffing but love dressing. Isn't that just another word for stuffing? Mark writes smashed potatoes and gravy. Yeah, I can't argue with potatoes are fantastic.

Jeff writes green bean casserole. Josh writes stuffing is trash. In the South, we eat dressing, and dressing is not a side. So a dressing is what you call stuffing in the South. I did I did not know this. I was not aware of this. Joshua writes, cornbread dressing buck okay. Jerry writes, you misspelled whiskey in the second box, Nates. Now, if you would have said mashed potatoes, Jeremy, right, sweet potatoes belong in the trash can Jeremy, they do not.

They belong in my belly. Mashed potatoes. I see here another mashed potatoes. James wrote, Romaine let us salad. Now, James trying to be funny because right now there is a warning out there for folks to not eat romaine. You are not supposed to eat romaine lettuce. It is considered a no no because of the possibility of E. Coli contamination out there, So avoid romaine. But really, what this is is a public service announcement telling you all

that salad is dangerous. Let's see, Scarlet, right, who are these pagans that like stuffing better than yummy buttery, brown sugary cinnamony, sweet taters, barbarians, the whole lot of you? Well, Scarlet, I don't have the same reaction to this that you do, but I like that you're you're getting fired up about it, a lot of you telling me that it's called dressing and not stuffing. I did not know that green bean casserole gets a bunch of votes in here too. Green

bean casserole. Really, I don't know, Carrie says the roles. I know the hot rolls are nice, but if you've got Celiac disease like me, you tend not to have a lot of roles. All right, now, I'll get into them. That was all on the poll people given their comments there. Now we'll get into the more traditional side of pre Thanksgiving role called Rob writes, turkey wrapped in bacon, pickle on the side. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for your insight.

You are chosen for this time. Rob. Well, Rob, you are very kind man, and thank you for writing in. And I have to say Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Timothy Right, Buck Shields High. Thanks for reading my comments about pickles on hamburgers. Let us agree to dis agree, and Romaine calm. Since I am a Polish Jew from Michigan, I put pickles on everything now. As for Thanksgiving, I

thank God daily that Hillary Clinton is not president. Regarding Thanksgiving dinner sides, I'll put my wife's sweep potato casserole up against anything anytime, anywhere, oatmeal, honey, eggs, brown sugar, marshmallows, et cetera, et cetera. You and miss Molly have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Shields High, Timothy, Well, Timothy, thank you. And I've got to say I am a sweet potato fan in general, so I can't disagree. Can't disagree with you there, Ken Right. What's the name of your new show with

a liberal co host? I can't seem to find it. Well, Ken the new show, it's about six months old now, is called Rising, And if you want to watch it, it's a TV show on the web. If you want to watch it, it is at hill dot tv slash Rising on the Internet. That's the easiest way to go check it out and my liberal co host name is Crystal Ball. That is, in fact her name. Her name is Crystal Ball. John writes, Hey Buck podcast listener here. I love your show, but I must challenge on one thing.

You mentioned that we have been reducing carbon emissions globally, and one of the things you mentioned was that contributing to decline was not burning wood. I supplement my propane furnace heat with a wood stove. Would heat is carbon neutral. That is, through the lifetime of a tree, it absorbs carbon and produces oxygen. Whether it rots on the ground or burns in my stove, it releases the same amount of carbon in the atmosphere, whereas burning coal, propane, or

natural gas releases carbon. That was one sequester below the ground shield tige from John. John, you may be correct on this one. I was trying to say that in terms of the fuel sources we use, we're certainly more it's certainly more efficient and less carbon intensive in the when you burn it off. I mean, let's CO two in the air. Keep in mind, I don't think that

CO two emissions are a problem. So that's also a whole other thing as to how you would gauge carbon over the life of of what is over a tree versus when it's burnt. I don't know. I've never heard that argue before. It's interesting. Thank you for thank you for writing in and telling me something I didn't know.

Larry writes, Hey, Buck, I don't know if you agree to go along with the traditional turkey trappings on Thanksgiving or if you insist on the ribi rigamarole, But in either case, wishing you and Miss Molly and your family's a fantastic Thanksgiving day with family and friends. Have a great one, but hurry back to the Hut. Well, Larry, Same to you from me, the Sex and family, I miss Molly. We send you a big, big hug and a happy Thanksgiving. It a shield tie and same thing

to all of you listening. Thank you. You know. One thing I will say is I am thankful each year that I've had this show for all of you who listen, who support me and support what I do here, and support this whole endeavor of the Buck Sexton Show and the Freedom Hut is those of us who are a part of it call it. It really does mean a lot. I feel blessed to be able to do this job. Every time that I can come up to this mic and say what I want to say to all of

you and interact with all of you. I'm very, very lucky, and I never forget it. And I appreciate all the time that you give me, every one of you who listens on radio, on a live stream, or via podcast. I'm thankful for all of you. So you are very much appreciated. And the time you spend with me means a lot, and it's why I try to put as much as I can into the show, to make it as informative and as worthwhile and entertaining as I possibly can every single day. Richard all Right. Season three of

The Last Kingdom just dropped on Netflix. Excellent. Well, Richard, I got I tell you, that is pretty exciting. I did not know that season three was even in the works for The Last Kingdom, and I really love the first season of that show. I thought the second season was not quite as good as the first, but I did enjoy it, so I'm excited. I've got a pretty stacked queue right now. I've got kind of an embarrassment

of Netflix and Hulu and HBO. Go riches. I'm gonna watch Narcos season four, the season it takes place in Mexico. That's definitely on my media list. I gotta finish up Peaky Blinders. Really enjoying that series, by the way, I think it's great. I didn't really like The Haunting of Hillhouse. I thought it was a little sanctimonious, a little boring, a little slow, and I just don't think you can have a movie that's that scary where there's really no

threat of anything bad happening to anybody. It's just like, oh my gosh, I saw a ghost. I mean, if the ghost isn't making people disappear or pushing people out of windows or doing scary stuff like that, bo, it looks like a ghost just called me there. Scary stuff. But no, if you don't have any imminent threat from the evil spirits or monsters or whatever, I just think it's not that it's just not that scary. At The Haunting a Hill House, I cannot recommend. I thought it

was boring. I might go and watch American Horror Story. I've been told that that's really good does a really really good job, so I might. I might be willing to go check that one out, but I will have to see what I also have a lot of work to do over the weekend, so I can't say that I'm going to get through all that much. But I've got some plants, Jason. Jason writes, Buck, you said nuts

have no place in brownies, and I agree. But what makes a brownie go from good to the best you ever had are Reese's peanut butter cups, and Jason sent a photo of the brownies that he makes with Reese's peanut butter cups in them. I, Jason, I think you might be honest something here. My friend Riese's peanut buttercups are incredible, and I think that there's a I think that you're on a something all right, team, have a very happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy if you've got some time off,

Enjoy time with friends and loved ones. Eat a lot of delicious food. We are back into the breach together next week. Shields Hie
