Trump Hammers Iran

the buck Sexton Show begins. No people know my views on the Randy. It was a terrible deal. Should have never ever been made. We could have made a good deal or a reasonable deal, and the Randall was a terrible deal. We paid a hundred and fifty billion dollars. We gave one point eight billion in cash. That's actual cash, barrels of cash. It's insane, it's ridiculous. It should have never been made. But we will be talking about it. Welcome to the buck sex and Show. Everyone, Thank you

so much for being here. Honor, privilege and pleasure as always. Uh so you have the big visit today. A lot of pomp and circumstance. I mean there was there was fife playing. I think there were fives. Perhaps they were piccolos. They look like fifes to me though the guy who knows his woodwinds uh and they or not as the case maybe uh. You know. The French were here a lot of people talking about the debt of on Earth to a General Lafayette, which is a real thing, Marquis

de Lafayette. So the French are our buddies. Sometimes we have a little disagreements with them, but for the most part they were really our first major ally, so there's that gave us the Statue of Liberty, which was nice of them, and a whole bunch of other stuff. French fries among my favorite things, among my favorite things on planet Earth. I never called them freedom fries, you know. I didn't turn my back on France even during that period. Like the French fries. Guys, we all need to get

a grip. So he had some important policy discussions going on today with Trump and Macron or should we should we do we americanize it? Do we go Macron? You know what I mean? You know, because there's also different ways you can americanize it, right, you can do Southern like you know, Macron or you could do more like Midwestern like mccron, you know, or New Yorker McCrone, Hey McCrone, Hey McCrone, or that's New Yorker Philly A. Mccron. What are you talking about? The the Iran nuke deal? Nuke

nuke for who? For what? Uh? So, there there's a lot of stuff going on here. You got the Trump administration going to de certify or not on the Iran nuke deal. Let's start with Iran and then I'll get to North Korea. Both of these today, a lot of headlines, a lot of talk, and I sometimes feel like we get drawn into these conversations about foreign policy, and I'm I feel like anyone who refers themselves as a such and such nerd is really engaged in a humble brag.

But so I won't say I'm a foreign policy nerd. I'll just say I like foreign policy, I worked in it, and I find it very interesting that all said, unless we're talking about a war or a major trade issue, most foreign policy is an intellectual exercise. And the people you're listening to see, I'm just telling you the truth here because I am bucket. I cannot I cannot tell a lie. Most foreign policy analysis is interesting. Maybe you learn some stuff, but does it end up being correct

or not? People don't really pay attention. A lot of people go on TV that have been wrong on foreign policy, wrong, wrong, all along, that's really their calling card. There are some folks that even have had the ear of previous administrations on foreign policy, and I I'm just like, you don't want to listen to that guy or gal always wrong. I think you can put John Kerry in that category.

But it's actually useful though, because once you established someone so consistently wrong on foreign policy, you're like, well, I just know that whatever he's saying is what I don't want to do. And on your on Iran and North Korea, we're gonna get into some of this. So it is interesting. It does affect us if we had a take military action. It's North Korea that's obviously very scary and could have big ramifications beyond that could spook the markets a whole lot.

Who knows. I don't think we're heading in that direction right now, that's possible. The Iran deal is well when you look at it beyond just the nuclear issue with Iran and see it as trying to constrain Iranian aggression. Now we're talking about an expansionism and really the revival of a or you could say, the creation of a

Shia crescent of power. One of the things that's happening right now in the Middle East is you have a Sunni Shia civil war that's playing out in a whole bunch of different countries, and it's not thought of in that way because usually it's within the context of a national of a national struggle. Right, So in Syria we think of the Syrian Civil War. In Yemen we think of the you know, Yumani civil war or whatever we're

calling some of these struggles. Now, you know, in Iraq we've got the insurgency, and but when you really peel back the layers and look at what's going on, guess what one of the primary dividing lines is between Assad and his side and the insurgents and jihadists and all the rest on the other side. Sad is Shia is Shia alla white, but and the rest of the country

that is opposed to him are Sunni Muslims. When you look at what's going on in Iraq Sunni Shia civil wars, there's one of the very scary things that we're trying to prevent from happening. But the Al qaeda Ji hottest or the iss Gi hottests are are Sunnies, and the militias that fight against them are Shia. So that's always bubbling beneath the surface, same thing. And yeah, you're getting my point right, you're catching my drift. Plus there's a

Sunni Shia problem in Saudi Arabia. And then on top of all that you have the Major Saudi States which is really South I'm sorry, Major Sunni States, which is Saudi Arabia, and it's UH and its Gulf allies against Iran. That's now the great Mideast power struggle that's going on, and we have interests in this primarily for security reasons. Twenty or thirty years ago, we would have been like, whoa, we we gotta worry about this because of the Straits

of Horror moves something like UH. I think even ten years ago you might have had or thirty pc of the world's oil supply moving through the Straits of Horror moves. One of the concerns was that the Iranians, with pretty straight with with easy UH missile capacity, they just start shutting it down and blowing up oil tankers. These these are the theories and the threats that people have had

for a long time. Well thanks to domestic American energy production, the shale oil revolution, which has been probably the single greatest foreign policy windfall that we've had in this country. In the post nine eleven era, we're a whole lot less on edge about what goes on in the Middle East from an energy perspective, because we're like, you know what, We're actually an energy superpower, so we're trending in the right direction on that. One's price of gas is very low.

It also means those countries like Iran have a whole lot less cash to throw around for fancy planes and very big missiles that go boom. Uh. So these are all the problems that we have to look at right now in the Mid East. But it's the it's a lens that is shifting over time. It's not quite what it was in the early days, say of the first Bush are the second president Bush, but its first administration. Trump's looking at the Iran deal, and he's looking at

in that context. He sees this as a series of interrelated problems going on in the Middle East. It just seems that no matter where you go, especially in the Middle East, Iran is behind it. The Iran Deal is a disaster. They're testing missiles and what is that all about? You look at the ballistic missiles that they're going and testing. What kind of a deal is it where you're allowed

to test missiles all over the place. What kind of a deal is it when you don't talk about Yemen and you don't talk about all of the other problems that we have with respect to Irana, especially look at what they're doing in Iraq. And I know John Kerry made the statement that he didn't want to discuss other things while he was making the deal, to spite all of the money that we gave them, he didn't want

to discuss it because it was too complicated. That's not the way to do it, because it was too complicated. So we made this terrible deal, but we'll be discussing it. Big problems that not just Trump but all those of us who have been, including myself, opposed to the Iran deal are It doesn't touch conventional missiles, which are quite

a big problem. If their missile program gets to a very advanced level, it means that were they to get breakout nuclear capability, they can marry those two programs together and all of a sudden, now you got big issues. Plus the Iranians can export they're increasingly advanced conventional missile technology to a whole bunch of bad actors, including it's proxies that could come after us in Iraq, but also it's proxies that have currently encircled the state of Israel.

Right If you look at a map right now in the Middle East, if you look at Israel, you have Hezbollah in a Ani in proxy to the north of Israel and Lebanon with missiles pointed at Israel. Assad a client regime of the Iranians with I don't know if they're pointing their missiles at Israel right now, if they know what's good for them, but you know they are obviously a hostile towards the Israeli state. And then in Gaza Hamas, which despite being a Sunni Muslim entity, is

also a client. Although there's been some bad blood. I mean, you know they're fighting about the Shia Iranians and the Sunni members of Hamas in Gaza. They've got some problems, but the one thing that unites them, and I don't say this in in a glib fashion, it's really true. Is their hatred of Jews and Israel, right, That's what keeps Hamas and Iran, the state of Iran, willing to work together because they hate his Room more than anything else.

So that's why we have to worry about their conventional nuclear I'm sorry, conventional missile technologies. There's also a lack of inspection into some of their military facilities, which the iranience have said that's a no go. But guess what if they have military facilities that we can't see, well, how do we know what they're doing? It's pretty straightforward. And then finally the sun setting of this at the end of the current deal framework, Iran can basically say, okay,

we're out. You know now we can do what we want and they will be richer and better place and have an economy that is much more enmeshed with the regional and global economy at that point, which means that there are more ways they can hurt us, and also hurting them will have greater ramifications if there was a need, let's say, to go in there and strike, which is still something that we could see happening at some point still something that could be going on. I'm I'm hoping

that it doesn't. I don't want there to be. I think it would be a mistake unless we were in an absolutely last resort, extreme situation. I think a regime change in Iran is a nightmare in the making if that became US policy. But I can't say it's not possible. We know it is so. But those are the big problems that they have with the deal. And Trump obviously also has a certain hostility to the Iranian regime, which

is is understandable. We've really had some substantive talks on Iran, maybe more than anything else, and we're looking forward to doing something. But it has to be done, and it has to be done strongly, and they've very much been butchers and we can't allow that to happen. And I think our meeting are our one on one went very very well. I hope you feel the same way. He's

speaking of m Krans there mentioned him the beginning. I feel like we should give the the President of France a little bit more attention here in this open a segment. He is the reason for this fancy state visit, that is going on with all the pomp and circumstance, and he he had some interesting comments actually on the Middle East. You know, he's it's interesting the way it's talked about is is mccron is respected by Trump macrons. He's got a business packer. I think he was an eye banker,

investment banker. Whereas Merkele is like, Donald, why don't you return my phone calls? I thought we had something special. I thought we'd be allies since he you know the things that we're working on, and he's like Angela, sorry, they haven't got no time for you. He's not a fan of Merkel. We all know this, and she's supposed to be the one really leading the EU block of nations.

Whereas mccron he speaks Trump's language a little bit more, not French, but he speaks he speaks in a way that Trump I think and can can get behind some of it. And and here's what he said about the middies, because I want to get his perspective on this too. And Randall is an important Huma will discuss about that. But we have to take it as a part of the broader picture, which is security in the over origin. And we have a certain situation. We have upcoming lasition

in in Iraq. We have the stability to preserve for our allies since the origin and what we want to do is to contain the Iranian resident since the origin and dac Pure is part of this broader picture, part of a broader picture. They want to negotiate. If we don't negotiate through this, if we don't get some kind of an agreement with our allies, notably France and Germany, on how to deal with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

That's what the j c p o A is, which is the fancy foreign policy speak for the Iran deal, and it uh doesn't go forward. The Iranians are talking a lot of trash and what they're gonna do if we don't keep the deal as is in its totality, Well, what does that mean? I got a hint from Trump on that come back. And then also North Korea, Trump said that Kim Jong had been honorable, and I know the we're all they're all over that in the media,

but let's put that in context. Let's look at what he actually said and what he meant him, what the purpose of the statement was. We will do all that and more coming right up start their nuclear program. We'll find out. You'll find out about that. It won't be so easy for them to restart. They're not gonna be restarting anything they restarted. They can have big problems, bigger than they've ever had before. And you can mark it down.

They restart their nuclear program, they will have bigger problems than they have ever had before, Thank you very much. Trump not messing around there saying, look, if the Iranians decided to get cute and try to play games with the nuclear program, there's gonna be uh, it's gonna be hell to pay. It's gonna be a big, as you're saying, a big problem. And he's trying to be as clear as he can on that. Um. I I wonder here how this is gonna go because I think that there's

enough of it. There's an understanding among those of us who see what Trump's options are here that he's going to get a ton of heat from the left if he actually does anything to this deal. And it's not it's not really about Iran. That's what's so frustrating about it. Why you won't know the answer to this, Why will the left screen, bloody murder if Trump and the Democrats and the media and all the rest of the Trump does anything that throws the as they called the j

c p o A, the Iran Deal. Of course, oh, I know, you know the answer, because it was Obama's only foreign policy legacy item. Not only is it Obama's only legacy item, he mortgaged the best of our Mid East policy in order to get the deal. In fact, there's a lot of evidence and reason to suggest that the Obama administration took a particularly delicate approach in Syria because and this is crazy, but get ready for it, they didn't want to upset our Iranian counterparts in the

nuclear deal negotiations. Think about that. I mean, this is the Iranian state that for many of you listening I know who served in Iraq, you know exactly where I'm gonna go with This is the Iranian government that has the i r g C and the Coodes Force of the I r g C and Kasam Solomani running it and making sure that there are e f p s flown across Iran into Iraq to blow up our armored vehicles and kill our guys in Iraq as they're trying

to stabilize that country. And this is an Iranian regime that has blood of American soldiers on its hands in recent years, and Obama didn't want to upset them because he wanted to get a nuclear deal. Didn't want to upset them in Syria as Syrias has got five hundres thousand people that die and then over the course of that conflict, most of them while Obama was president here and they just didn't want to touch it. So that's you have to remember that. A lot of the opposition, Sure,

it's out of blind hatred of Trump. Right, anything Trump does is terrible. Right, Trump could find Trump could show up tomorrow will be like, hey, my secret program to cure cancer is work. That's the ah, look at him, waste money. He's terrible. But on the Iran deal, they're going to see this. The left, the Democrat media will see this as erasing Obama's foreign policy legacy. He's holding the line for America, buck sex in his back. We're having very good discussions con Gun on was He really

has been very open and I think very honorable. From everything we're seeing now, a lot of promises have been made by North Korea over the years, but they've never been in this position. We have been very very tough for maximum pressure, which we have been very tough on uh as you know, trade, We've been very very tough at the border. Sanctions have been the toughest we've ever imposed on any country. It's not going to be fair and reasonable and good. I will unlike past administrations, I

will leave the table. But I think we have a chance of doing something very special with respect to North Korea. You know what the media took from all that I saw it today. There there was a lot of attention to this. Trump says, Kim Jong un is honorable? How could he how could he be so thoughtless, so cruel,

so one feeling looked? No one things. I mean, I mean literally, no one in this country thinks that Kim Jong un is an honorable guy in terms of the totality of what he's doing and done as the leader

of North Korea. Yeah, it's it's gonna be tough to make the case someone's honorable when they have their half brother assassinated in an airport in Malaysia using v X. Yes, that's gonna be a tough one, right, Or if you're gonna have rivals at the upper reaches of the North Korean military executed by tying them to anti aircraft guns.

That that's also you know, people are aware of these things. Yes, North Korea is a massive concentration camp where some are treated slightly better than others, but everyone's everyone's in the camp in one way or another. Trump wasn't saying Kim jong n is a great guy. Okay, he's not pulling a Dennis Rodman here. I remember when that happened. What he's saying is, so far Kim jong un has kept

to what he said he would do. The big news here, after all this was that the North Koreans have agreed in at least in theory to de nuclearization or Trump spoke about this on North Korea. You said you believe in complete denuclearization. What does that mean exactly? It means they get rid of their nukes. Very simple. They get rid of their nukes, and nobody else would say it would be very easy for me to make a simple deal in claim victory. I don't want to do that.

I want them to get rid of their nukes pretty straightforward. They get rid of their nukes, right, That's that's what d nuclearized means they got to give up the program. I don't think North Korea is ever going to do that. Well, we gotta try, because we have set up a to track future for ourselves here, whereby you have either impending military action at some point the future from the U. S. Maybe some ally is against North Korea to destroy their program.

Who knows where that's gonna go, or this an aggressive diplomatic approach, which is what's going on here. On the point about Trump saying he's been honorable, and I think that it didn't last longer. They pushed this, Oh my gosh, Trump said he's honorable, so terrible. I saw it. It It was I was somewhere today. I'm like, I'll just come I'll just come clean and tell you. I was getting my hair cut and they had MSNBC on, so I was seeing this. Oh my gosh, Trump said, the dictator

of North Korea's being honorable. Go to heavens. Yeah, he didn't mean like he's a good guy. What he's saying is so far he's keeping his word in this whole thing. It reminds me also of how the media responds whatever Trump meets with Putin or there's anything relating to Russia.

They're like, why didn't he tell Putin what an big, ugly meme bully he is, because he's the head of state with a lot of nuclear weapons and it's an important country, and we don't get to just pretend like Russia is not there and doesn't matter at all, and spitting in the face of a Russian premier is just first of all, it's not what an American presidents to do. And also it's it's not helpful, and first and foremost,

the president is trying to get good outcomes. See, that's where there's a big disconnect with a lot of what the media thinks about all this stuff. You and I sit here and we're like, look, what's Trump accomplishing? What's he doing? Yeah, there's a part of this is narrative, the narrative fight, but also he accomplishes a lot there. He accomplishes a lot within the the the narrative struggle with the media. But I mean, on the policy side of things, what's he given us, what is he doing?

What's he what has he done for us lately? And so I evaluate this, So his tone about Putin or his words about Kim Jong un is way less important to me than the outcome of these negotiations, which is what he's trying to do. This why it is his honorable Keep in mind, the same meat you folks today we were like, oh my gosh, you call them honorable? Were the ones who were saying nuclear war is gonna come? When Trump said this little rocket man, I love that man,

Little rocket There we go, little rocket man. Remember that. You can go back and see it. That's why one of the reasons I love Twitter is for journalists, it gets them on the record with there, Oh my gosh, I'm hysterical. I'm so freaked out, and then later on when they switch sides, you're like, wait a second. So when Trump was saying mean things about Kim Jong Owen, which was just a few months ago, with with with

little rocket man and all the rest of it. And Trump is so good with the nicknames, by the way, he really is. I think that I'm pretty good with nicknames, Like I've given a fair amount of my friends nicknames that have stuck. I've even given a family member to nicknames that have now just become the way that we were for Like, I'm pretty good with the nicknames. Uh, But Trump is better. I'm like, you know, he he is straight up master of the Shallon Temple. And I'm like,

I'm like a mid level you know. I mean, I can do some cool stuff, but he can do like the one inch punch in the death touch and all that stuff. Yeah, exactly, thank you, John. I didn't plan that. That was perfect. That's right. Sweep the leg. Frum knows. He knows what's up. So uh where where was that North Korea? Um? I think that he's doing. He's already gotten further with this. Just getting the North Korean leader to say that they'll didn't de nuclearize at this point

is further along. And I think a lot of Trump's attractors would have said he would get And there is a panic. It's a quiet panic right now among the media elites, among the swampy types, the deep staters who still remain within the federal government, and certainly over it CNN, you know, over at seeing an MSNBC, at places they

don't talk about at cocktail parties. They're feeling a little, you know, a little uneasy because what happens, I mean, just as a as a little fun thought experiment, folks, what happens if Trump succeeds and we get to the point where there are opening, verifiable steps to North Korea. You know what happens if if North Korea says, you know what, no more testing and we'll let you inspect our facilities and will continue. I mean, even just getting

to that level. The media, they won't know what to do with themselves because we've been told all along, We have been told all along that Trump is on foreign policy more than any other issue out of his element. Doesn't get it, doesn't understand he's not, even though it's just funny, he's not some fancy type. The media always tells us he's not some you know, educated Harvard man. Well he went to Wharton, which is actually arguably the best business school in the world, and he's a billionaire

and he's from New York City. But somehow, you know, they just always it's like we it's like we took someone who was a crossing guard before no offense to crossing guards necessary, you gotta keep the kids safe. But and elevated that person to being the president. They're like, oh, no experience whatsoever, can do anything at all. Well, it seems to me like he's getting further along this process than anybody would have thought at this point in time.

But look, he he understands that. So I just wanted to put that out there for you. Just think about their reaction. I mean, I promise you on the day that if the day comes and I think it's a less than fifty fifty shot, I'm I'm not getting ahead of myself here. Look, Trump says, we gotta keep maximum pressure on. We're grateful for France's key partnership in our

campaign of maximum pressure on the North Korean regime. As you know, I will soon be meeting with Kim Jong un as we seek a future of peace, harmony, and security for the whole Korean peninsula and in fact for the whole world. However, in pursuit of peace, we will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations. The campaign of maximum pressure will continue. And I just want to very clear here. He understands that this is still a long shot.

He understands that there's plenty of ways that Kim Jong un may cheat, may break his word, this whole thing could fall by the wayside. That all said, I think there's also recognition that if he manages to do this, the media will be beside themselves. They are. And there's another way of saying, they're rooting against the end to the greatest nuclear threat the world faces right now. Don't

forget that. A lot of these big name journalists, a lot of these TV platform, big j journalist guys are out there or or the print ones, the Washington Post, New York Times, and they're hoping that Trump fails in d nuclear rising the single most ferocious totalitarianism on the planet, that is the most aggressive military state in the world. They're rooting against him. They won't say it, but I'm

telling you they are. And if the day comes when Trump is successful and the first steps are taking in this in this program, and he gets further along than any previous administration has ever in the era of a nuclear North Korea, even if he gets there, you know what they're gonna run on CNN all day, Stormy Daniels. Doesn't matter if there's no new news, you'll see a lot of Stormy Daniels photos over there. That's they already have it. They could run it like it's b roll,

like it's in the background. They're just gonna be Yeah. Trump, Trump signed that historic agreement to d nuclearized North Korea. Let's put some stormy dannueals up there. They are utterly and completely feckless, feckless. I just just want to get that on the record now so when it happens, we can go back and play with roll tape, Buck roll tape, you know, we go back and play it. I see it coming, I know, I know how they operate on

the other side. Ronnie Jackson. I don't know much about Ronnie Jackson, I'll be honest with you, but it looks like he's in some rough waters right now. I want to get into I want to get into this a little bit coming up here, and then I have some follow up for you on the Toronto attack yesterday. It looks like it wasn't terrorism, which a lot of us initially thought I thought it was. I thought it was

likely terrorism. I said, likely the Islamic State. But remember how I went into that whole discussion about the guy's name and background, that there were some clues, there were some hints. So I want to deconstruct our now, our initial analysis and reactions here in the freedom hunt to the attack which killed ten people, the worst mass killing of its kind in Canada in a long time. If

agein how many years. I'll break down some we'll do some analysis of that um in the next hour, and then I've just got a lot more show than we're gonna fit in today. Oh and uh, something that I know you're gonna want to hear two, but we'll probably say this for the third hour. The case of Alfie Evans, this three month old baby boy in the UK and the just atrocious actions of a hospital there and a

judge in the UK National Health Service bureaucracy. They're saying, sorry, he's just the kids gotta the kid's gonna die when not only will we not help him, no one else, including the Pope, I kid you not the Pope himself not allowed to do anything to help this twenty three month old boys happening right now in the UK. It is a vision of what is coming to this country if the you know, if the Obama It's and the and the Sandernista's get their way. So remember, we'll get

to that in the third hour. You will definitely want to hear that. So stay with me. So are you saying, Mr President, that you will stand behind him? So I would definitely stand behind him. He's a fine man. I'll always stand behind him. I'd let it be his choice. But he's a man who has just been an extraordinary person his family, extraordinary success, great doctor, great everything, and he has to listen to the abuse that he has to.

I wouldn't if I were him. Actually, in many ways, I'd love to be him, But the fact is I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. What does he need it for to be abused by a bunch of politicians that aren't thinking nicely about our country. I really don't think personally he should do it, but it's totally

his I would stand behind him, totally his decision. So Ronnie Jackson's Trump's nominee for Veterans Secretary Veterans Affair Secretary at the A. And there's been some reports out there that and I think at this point, right producer Mike unverified, it's we don't know, right which allegations, Well, we don't, it's just out there. It's being reported by news sources that what is he's a rear? Is he rear admiral?

I think is his ranking rear Admiral Jackson his Navy man, also obviously an m D and has been a physician to numerous presidents and was very well respected in that role. But now he's going to be associate with the Trump administrations. So all of a sudden, now the long knives come out, so to speak. Right now they want to tear this guy down. The press is going after him and they're saying that Ronnie Jackson is Ah, you know, he's given a whole number of um, he's given a whole number

of elicit prescriptions out of something improper dispensing. I forget what the specific charges basically given our prescription drugs is not supposed to, which I mean, he's a doctor, so I'm assuming who knows what that even really? What they even mean by that drinking on the job, I mean we all know what that means. I don't know if he did it or not, but that's what the l And then hostile work environment stuff, which whenever someone and

that's that's flimsy. I can tell you this having bid through some of these discussions and actually been around some internal investigations about hostile work stuff. Whatever, someone says that

someone's created a hostile work environment. Uh, if if it's legit, there's usually a story attached to it, right, So there's hostile work environment where you just you're, oh, this guy created a hostile work environment, and then it will come out that you know, he makes like occasionally inappropriate knock knock jokes or something, and you're like, oh, I don't think that that should derail this person's career if it's

a real hostile work environment. Though you'll you'll hear it's a hostile work environment occasionally this person gets angry and like throws reasonably heavy objects at members of the staff, and you're like, oh, hostile work environment, right, So usually the story is attached to it right away if it's bad.

I'm not saying always, I'm just saying that in my experience, it's you don't have to guess whether or not it's it's hostile if it really is, because people know and they want to They want it to be talked about, and they wanted to be known. So we'll have to see. But you know, I I withhold judgment on this too, because I agree with what Trump said. I would never people.

Sometimes some of you are way too kind. You you will write me occasionally a few of you have a lot of you are like buck, please, we know you're not gonna do that would you ever run for office? And there's no no interest, never want to do it. Uh, it doesn't matter what position I were in it. I just don't want to do it. I have no interest in ever doing it, won't do it. And and I feel badly saying that though, because it's just in response

to I don't want to ruin my life. I like my life and I don't need people trying to, including lying about me and everything else to try to tear me down. And it's tough to know what's just the media doing a hit job on somebody with whether it's Ronnie Jackson or Scott Pruett another person who is right in the sights of the media right now, and when someone's actually you know, Harriet Myers in the making some but who's really not the right choice, not up to

the task. I don't know. With Ronnie Jackson, I don't know what they said about him is true, But I do know the media is a bunch of smear merchants and they destroy people. So I gotta keep that in mind. Or talking about the Toronto attacking, update to that coming up buck Sexton mission decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistakes, American, You're a great

American Again. This is the Bucks Sexton Show. Analysts. No, we have all watched in horror in the aftermath of attacks on innocent cities in other cities around the world. It is something for which our police and our city staff and all the other first line responders here in Toronto have prepared. But it's not a moment that you ever believe will happen in the city that we all

call home. Yesterday, as we now know, ten were killed and fifteen injured in a horrific and deliberate attack near Young and Finch in the north part of our city. Welcome back to the Buck sex And Show. That was John Tory, the mayor of Toronto. Uh and um and uh we we know a little bit more about this attacker now. It was not It doesn't seem to be geohot is um because from what we know, the guy's not even a Muslim, which one would have to be as a precondition for being a jee Hottest. As you know,

vast majority Muslims are je Hottest. But to be a geh Hottest, you have to be a Muslim. As I mentioned yesterday, his name is Armenian, so and Armenia is a ninety Christian country, so very you'd be very unusual if you have an Army Armenian name. I mean maybe you know his mom could have been There's all these different ways you could look at it at Also, you could have had someone and this is important for future reference. Whenever you see one of these terrorist attacks, there's people

do this whole thing. Oh are you assuming because somebody's um Muslim and they're involved in an act like this, and this guy doesn't seem me Muslim, but you assume that they're now it's Jihaddi is um. Well, actually, even if they're not from a are part of the world that you think of as Islamic, if they're not Middle Eastern, there have been Hispanic gee Hottest, there are Caucasian gee hottest.

There there are people from all different arts that you know there are, there are Thai gee Hottest, there are Filipino gee hottest. So it's not an ethnicity based thing. So you always have to remember that. It's just a question of looking at the percentages in the early stages. But so the guy's name is as they said, it's our Armenian and so doesn't it would be unlikely unless he had radicalized, unlikely that he was doing this on

behalf of the Islamic State or something like that. Turns out that inclination that I had seems to be correct. H He killed ten because one of those wounded UH died in the hospital, four injured, fourteen And from what we understand of of him so far, based on the initial run throughs of his social media profile and of his well, just what we know about this Alec Menascian, he was a psychopathic loser who was a psychopathic loser. UM had some affinity for that guy. I'm actually Elliott Roger,

who was the Santa Barbara shooter. Who was this guy who thought he was you remember this guy? He made these videos back in that's a few years ago. He made these videos about how he, you know, he basically couldn't get a girl and he was so awesome and all these Cretans would get all the beautiful girls that were meant for him, and he had essentially become this deluded, uh,

you know, sexually incompetent lunatic. And he went around on this murder spree, the shooting spree, and he tried he gunned down six people at the University of California Santa Barbara before he killed himself. I believe he was the one. Mike wasn't the one who tried to get into a sorority but like the door was locked or something. But he wanted to go in a killing spree in a sorority you see, Santa Barbara, because he was angry that

women don't like him. So this is another another type, another archetype, if you will, of the psychopath here, of the sexually frustrated, malignant, narcissist psychopath. Right, somebody who's just and it is deluded and feels like everything is so unfair and just becomes consumed with rage and and becomes becomes evil. Seems. That's what um, that's what Manascian says. He in one post on social media, according to Daily Mail,

here he referred to the rebellion of in cells. Never heard of this before, a term used to refer to men who have been made involuntarily celibate because women will not have sex with them. So this guy couldn't, you know, couldn't get any women to sleep with him, and so he went out on this murder spreed. It seems that guy, I know, it's it seems that's what we've got here. I don't know what greater complexity we could add to it.

I don't know what else there is to to say about it at this point other than how appalling and evil and disgusting can a human being? Can a human being be? Um? You know, he clearly has deep um on deep psychological deficiencies. I mean, he's mentally obviously mentally ill in a profound way. But this is something that we've seen now a couple of at least a couple of times. I also think that it manifests itself in

societies is a little bit of a different discussion. But extreme violence, uh does become a a particular problem in society where there's a tremendous amount of sexual repression. Places where there is a lot of sexual repression are always deeply unhappy, and and you tend to have extremes of extremes of violence. It's obviously true and parts of the world ruled by his long fundamentalism, but not just there are other places too, So this is one of those

cases where and by the way, it's important. This is why we don't say, oh, it's clearly isis. This is why I said yesterday isis hasn't said it is. We we look at this as as a as a function of percentages that is likely but can't confirm. But it looks like And the reason we don't confirm the reason I tell you we gotta see, we gotta get more facts. And I was on Shannon Breamshell last night in Fox.

I said, look, we just don't have the data right now as a function of probabilities that looks like it's isis inspired. But that's the difference in saying it is and it looks like or it is and and this is the early stage. And also note though you see when you when you put it in those terms, and we because you always get in this political fight over all, do we you know, are you jumping to conclusions about whether it's terrorism or jumping to conclusions about whether it's

Islamic terrorism. I think we work with what we know when we know it. I don't think we pretend to know less than we do just because we don't want feelings to be heard. And if we get if we get ahead of where or if we get it wrong on in an analytic sense, as long as we're basically on the fact. Well, then you adjust the analysis. It's not that hard, right, it's not that crazy as to how we should cover these events, how we should think

about them. Um, and here we have this twenty five year old guy who just saw it, clearly is aware of how I has inspired attacks using vehicles have gone on, and this is a big threat. What what do you do? A very frustrating question. Understandable question, but a frustrating question that I get one who's worked in counter terrorism in the past. People will say, well, you know, and I've been in these discussions. I've sat there in conference rooms in CTC of the c I of the counter Terrorism Center,

and you know, how do we prevent this? How do we stop that? How do we work against this? And with vehicle attacks, you gotta you gotta stop that. You gotta stop the attack before it's an attack. That's the only way. That is the only method there is for finding out, finding out a an attacker, or stopping it before it actually happens. So I don't have much more for you on the Toronto attack at this point other

than disguise. Seems like a psycho who couldn't get a girlfriend, right, and just it just was full of hatred and and overcome with envy and rage. And you know, if you want to kill a bunch of people, a car is every bit is effective as any firearm that you'll find, if you know, if you're playing this out and you know the area. And yeah, so Terril Day for Canada, feel badly for our Canadian brothers and sisters up north,

and uh thoughts and prayers. But I don't have any analysis for how we can stop it, because honestly, no one does. If you see people going on, oh, we know how to stop this, no they don't. Okay, there's no way to stop this other than find the person as they're radicalizing and whatever their ideology is, and take them off the street, prevent them from being able to get behind the wheel of a car before they try to do it. Once they're in that car, you're in

casualty mitigation instead of casualty elimination. So that's what I have for you on the Toronto attack. If there's more, I'll certainly go to it. But guys an evil loser. I think that's as close to the accurate description of them as we can have. You know, here's a story courtesy of our friends over at the Daily Wire that no surprise, mainstream media didn't didn't want to spend much time on um. But you know there's a Parkland survivor

that they also generally don't want to spend much time on. Uh, Kyle Cashev, who is pro Second Amendment but also wants to I believe he has an app He's come up with some very proactive steps to try and help stop a school shooting. And Kyle's gotten some attention, but not nearly the same degree of platform, on the same level of platform. That's a uh. Some of the David Hogg and some of the others have been given by the media, why, of course, because he's not saying what they want him

to say. But this was this was just astonishing, It really was. This just happened on Friday, so a few days ago. Kyle, on his Twitter account wrote the following, It was great learning about our inaliable right of a Second Amendment and how to properly use a gun. This was my first time ever touching a gun, and it made me appreciate the Constitution even more. My instructor was very informative. I learned a lot the second Amendment is

important and we need to preserve it. So he's at a shooting range, obviously everything is completely legal, getting instruction from a from a trained personnel, and he's learning about firearms. You know this guy, Kyle kash Of, this young man who was at the park at the Parkland, UH school shooting and his dad's there with him, and a lot of you were like, yeah, buck there with a family member at a gun range. I call this Saturday. But if you are Kyle cash Of, Uh, it's a problem.

All of a sudden, here's what the Daily Wire rights. Cash Of was quickly called out. We're visiting the gun range and posting about it by bunch of students at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School. But that wasn't the end of the story. When Kyle went to school on Monday, his principle informed him that other students had been upset by his posts, but that he hadn't done anything wrong. According to Kyle, in the minting the middle of the morning,

events took a different turn. Quote near the end of this is from Kyle Cashimo is what he wrote on I guess on Facebook. Near the end of third period, my teacher got a call from the office saying I need to go down and see Mr Greenleaf. I didn't know Mr Greenleaf, but it turned out he was an armed school resource officer. I went down and found him. He escorted me to his office. Then a second security officer walked in and sat behind me. Both began questioning

me intensely. First, they began berating my tweet, although neither of them had read it. Then they began aggressively asking questions about who I went to the range, whose gun we use, and about my father. They were incredibly condescending and rude. Then a third officer from the Broward County Sheriff's office walked in and began asking me the same questions again. At that point, I asked whether I could

record the interview. They said no. I asked if I had done anything wrong again they answered no. I asked why I was there. One said, don't get snappy with me. Do you not remember what happened a few months ago? They continued to question me aggressively, though they could cite nothing I had done wrong, They kept calling me the pro Second Amendment kid. I was shocked and honestly scared. It definitely felt like they were trying to intimidate me.

I was treated like a criminal for no reason other than having gone to the gun range and posted about it on social media. So that's the way they want the conversation to go. Now, that's the way they want the narrative to be. You know, if they want to ostracize gun owners, they want to treat people who are law abiding, lawful gun owners who go to a duly you know, uh, ensured and prepared range and you know,

are shooting there that is now suspect. Remember, there's always different ways that they try to go about truncating your Second Amendment rights. They can't get it through the legislature, but they think they are winning the cultural fight against the Second Amendment more now than they have in a

long time. They think that they can make guns not just uncool, but they also can bring people who use firearms under suspicion, make their lives more annoying, make their lives more difficult, And that has its own implications for what's possible via the legislature later on. You know, if they can make it that, you should be concerned as a parent taking your kid to the range, because your kid, as Kyle Cash of was Mike get pulled the side and said, what do you mean you're doing with the range?

I mean, I think about I should probably post it on Facebook. I mean there are photos of me with my brothers and my dad. I think I'm twelve years old, maybe I'm ten, and you know we're out there, what are we holding up targets from the range? I mean I'm ten or eleven years old? You know. Yeah, my dad helped me hold that, you know, helped me hold the gun everything. It was like a bolt action twenty two.

But you know, started at a young age. You learned firearms safety and nice uh you know, nice memories with pops and my brothers. I can't imagine what I would have thought if I as a young guy, especially well, I mean Cash it was like seventeen, I think, so he's a senior. But imagine if you were in uh in grade school, and all of a sudden, because you went shooting with your dad over the weekend, which exactly

what Kyle Cash I did. You got brought in but to the principles office and there were dudes with guns there who are asking you all kinds of questions and so and from the police department. The sheriff's departments, and they're asking you questions too, would you would you maybe now? And a lot of your like, yeah, buck, bring it the police. You know, I'll be at that PTA meeting and you'll hear some stuff. I know. But I'm just saying, this is what they want. They want you to have

to think about it. They want you to feel weird about it. And people who just don't want to deal with the hassle will be like, oh, you know, maybe you know, maybe I'll wait the kids a little older before I take them the range, or maybe I won't. Yeah. You see these stories about schools that discipline kids for using their fingers as a gun to go bang bang for cowboys and Indians and stuff. I mean, this is all It's all happening more and more, you know it.

It infects the culture. This an anti gun animus comes at us from all these different ways. And and the reason they're so obsessed with it's nothing to do with gun violence, as I keep saying, And people get so angry at me for this, and that's why I know him right, it's not about gun violence. Because you can look at all the different studies and we can get our buddy John lott On, he can tell you the different statistics. It's about guns as a cultural marker for

everything else. Right, if you support the Second Amendment, there's a very good chance it's you know, it's over seventy five probably that you also are you know, pro family, pro life, Christian. You know, you got on the whole thing right, you go to church on Sunday. You know you're not a vegan. You know there's a whole bunch of things, good things. And if you are anti gunn you know, then you look, there's a whole other bunch

of things you can kind of assume from that. Right, So it's become a central marker in the culture war, and that's why they're trying to come in from only different perspectives. But could you imagine if one of the Parkland kids, some of them have been saying outrageous stuff about how the n r A is. I don't even play it. There was a chance yesterday, producer, Mike, you see this. They were chanting. I guess it's down in San Francisco. You know, n r A, how many kids

have you killed today? The answer is zero? But I don't know. Maybe they need to spend a little more time in math class or something, because they seem to keep repeating this chant at the behest of adults, and it's just you know, there their their usefulness is kind of passing as a as a political prop for the anti gun effort. But they're still gonna kind of put it out there. But Kyle Cashev doesn't get any invulnerability in the in the press, and in his own school.

He can get harassed and brought in because he went for the crime which it's not a crime, of going to the range with his dad the fire and they are and learn about the Second Amendment. Just remember that's that's the way that the country is going in a whole lot of places right now. So we've gotta be vigilant about that. Um can they been Christian books in California? Not an idle question. We'll tackle that coming up, all right,

welcome back. You may have seen this story about how Google has banned ads from a Christian publishing house due to its faith based content. Now we're trying to track this down. I want to look into this a little bit more, but it wouldn't surprise me that you have this kind of censorship going on in the past, it's been well what qualifies as hate speech. Now it's faith based content under scrutiny from the massive social media platforms and the titans of Silicon Valley. But it's not just

private enterprise that's engaged in this kind of censorship. There's the very real threat of similar viewpoint discrimination from some state governments, one in particular California. We've got David French with us now. He is a senior writer a National Review. He's also an attorney and a veteran of the war in Iraq. David, great to have you. Thank you so much for joining us. Tell me about this premise that you've been out there trying to raise the alarm. I

know people have been pushing back. You push right back. But what's going on with California possibly banning Christian books? Yeah? It well, so it's really a crazy story. So what California has is a consumer fraud statute, like you know virtually every other UH state and union does. And these are not controversial because fraud isn't protected speech on the First Amendment. Consumer fraud isn't protected speech under the First Amendment.

So consumer fraud statutes are all well good and normal, and California is like most bands, the sale of goods and services um through various fraudulent means, which again that's all normal, but they've decided to try to amend the statute to change to add a new category that bans the sale of goods, which are good is anything that you can basically carry. It's like everything from a hunk of cheese to a book and services that are engaged

in what they call sexual orientation chain effort. So this is very strange because it's a directly viewpoint related application of a consumer fraud statute. And then when you look at the definition of sexual orientation change efforts, it includes any effort to change behavior, sexual behavior, or gender identity.

And so, in other words, if you've got a book and so or somebody is selling a book and its specifically arguing, say, for example, that if you have a nine year old is exhibiting signs of gender dysphoria, that you should not call a her by he or change her or his name or um have them, you know, change their desire to dress and clothing of the opposite gender.

That that's consumer fraud, or that if you have somebody who's trying to leave a you know, a maybe a sexually active lifestyle and UM bringing their behavior in line with Christian teaching. That trying to assist them in that endeavor is consumer fraud. It's incredibly broad, and because it applies to goods, it would apply even to books that are used in that effort. And so it's it's one of the more alarming First Amendment UM threats I've seen

in some time. We can can you explain to with David what does the California state legislature and so you're talking about what it could do? What do they intend to do with this? Are they trying to ban uh, like you know what programs that might be sold I don't know, d DVD s or online programs or something that can convince people that transgenderism is not real or something.

What are they what's the intent of this California law. Well, if you listen to the authors of it, and they've written a very broad and badly written bill, they say that what they intend to do is ban reparative therapy for money. In other words, that nobody can charge money

for what they call reparative therapy. And traditionally, reparative therapy is an idea that you can change someone's sexual orientation in the word in other words, they're they're romantic or sexual desire for a person of the same sex has been the traditional definition of of reparative therapy. But they've gone way beyond that traditional definition, even to arguments about

behavior or to arguments about gender identity. And so what they did is they took this bill, which would be unconstitutional anyway, because you couldn't ban reparative therapy when you're dealing with, you know, adults who are who are seeking that kind of uh, that kind of counseling, um, knowing full well what it is and what you know and

what the risks are, if any. And so they've taken something that they advertise as quite limited to this reparative therapy for profit or for money, and they've actually applied it to a sweeping category of speech that includes just standard argument it's about Christian sexual morality. Speaking of David Franch, she's a senior writer for National Review. Check out his latest on National review dot com. He's also a veteran,

a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Uh, David, have they left this lawso open ended in your estimation and you're also an attorney in California, with the idea that they will narrow it or do you think that they kind of like leaving it out there for interpretation and maybe

they'll expand the scope of their authority a little bit. Well, I think they're leaving it out there intentionally because they have been warned about this amply in testimony in front of the California Assembly that people have been sounding the alarm, So they know the sweeping scope at this But what's so alarming is they're deceiving the public when they try to explain it. But every now and then, some of

these guys are actually saying what they mean. For example, there was in a California legislature on the Assembly floor in the debate over the bill who said that Christian beliefs need to evolve with the times. Well, he's certainly free as a citizen to argue that Christian beliefs should quote evolve with the times. But the state of California does not have the constitutional authority to force Christian beliefs to evolve with the times. But again, this is a state.

Let's let's not forget that just was in the Supreme Court last month. With oral arguments over their previous effort to force crisis pregnancy centers pro life crisis pregnancy centers to advertise for free and low cost abortion. So this is not a state that necessarily respects First Amendment rights

when it conflicts with the sexual revolution. I want to ask you also about this piece from earlier this morning I sought up on Fox is making the rounds about the possibility of some conservative justices getting put on the Ninth Circuit or some of your friends in mine on TV or fur to it the Ninth Circus. Uh, do do you think that's you think that's gonna it's gonna

happen and will not have a major impact. Well, it's gonna happen if if the president appoints in the Senate Um continues its prior practice of confirming all of his all of his qualified appointees. I mean, you know, one of the problems you have in the Ninth Circuit is you have some of these states with democratic senators, and there's been traditionally a deference to the senators in these states.

But that traditional deference to senators has been predicated on good faith and a lot of the decisions to withhold senatorial approval of Republican nominees of late have not necessarily been in good faith, and so I think it's important for the Trump administration um to push through as many highly qualified judicial appointees as possible and as possible pick up the pace on it because we don't know what's

going to happen in the mid term election. David coming up in just a few minutes, I'm gonna be addressing the Alphie Evans case. We've only got about a minute here, but I want to just get your take on on what you think about this case in the UK where twenty three month old boys being denied care and told his parents are being told no one's allowed to give

him care. You know, it's it's vile. I mean, I've been having trouble following the story, not not because of inattention, but because it's so it's so dreadful, it's so heartbreaking. You just don't even want to read about it. It's so heartbreaking, and it just strikes you as malicious. It's just a raw exercise of state authority over a family. When here you have the Nation of Italy willing to provide care and so far the nation of Great Britain

denying that opportunity. Why why it's not a loss of resources to Great Britain to allow Italy to care for this kid. It just seems like the raw exercise of power. And I promise you if if this country starts to go down the route of government controlled health care, um, we're not far behind. If that's what I want to her to know, We're not far behind this uh And and I agree with you, David. It's spiteful and I'm gonna get into the details. It's spiteful by the UK government.

But everyone should read David's peace and this California bill take a look at it. They will ban Christian books that they can. David French, everybody Nashal reviewed. David, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. Dam we're gonna talk about this Alfie Evans case in just a few minutes, So stay right there, are you? Thank you very much. Stupid question, so anybody else, stupid question. We should have that as a drop by

the way, stupid question. We should have it ready just in case, you know, someone calls in there getting a little sassy's dropped the keep John can we cut the just that part out for stupid question. I like that. So that was that was Trump today in response to, uh, what was that Jonathan carl of A. Usually, I see, I would have thought it was a Costa. I feel like a Costa is really carved out a good brand for being the most egregious and annoying anti Trump grand

standard of the White House Press corps. So now you know, he's kind of the he's kind the first in class when it comes to being the most annoying guy in the West wing. You know, so I get a little surprised about somebody else. But before I get into the broader discussion, here about how much oh wait, that was a wait, that was a Trump slap. We should come up with a special noise for it. But let's use the buckslab for now, because it absolutely there you go,

Trump slap. But think about how stupid that question is for a moment. This is a White House Press conference, okay, and you're there, You're getting paid real money. You're supposed to be a professionally supposed to know what the heck you're talking about, and yet here we are with a very uh he used to be didn't he used to be with Fox, Jonathan Carl Am I crazy? He's the ABC right now? Was he ever with Fox? I might? Maybe I'm confused now that's Carl Cameron. That's Carl Cameron

is who that is? I'm getting him confused. Pardon me with that anyway. This guy is a you know, he's a he's a big j journalist. He's asking about consideration of a pardon for someone who has not even been charged with a crime. Now, now that's about as dumb a question as I think. I mean, Trump is right, it was a very, very dumb question. It's about as bad as it's gonna get. But just look at it as a perfect way to understand how they play the game.

No reasonable person would ever come to the conclusion that you should ask the President United States if he's going to pardon someone use the presidential power of the pardon who has not even been charged with a crime. You know, this is even going beyond you know, it's it's instead of saying to somebody, when did you stop beating your wife, it's like, what did you do now that you have

stopped beating your wife? Going forward? Right, It's just it takes it even deeper down the rabbit hole of of stupidity. So I'm glad that Trump gave him a slapdown. But it all goes in with this whole storyline that Variety, which is a magazine that I thought covered Hollywood right, doesn't. Isn't it mostly about Hollywood stuff movies? But Variety put out a piece inside the intense. I guess it's like

Playboy there. You know, you come, you come for the the actors, and and you know you you you stay for the political analysis. You know, Playboy you they're they're actually some pretty good essayists that have been published in Playboy. So I am told, okay, not place. Come on. I grew up in the nineties, nobody was Playboy was like an artifact that people would we we'd hear stories about how like our dad's had this magazine and you know, didn't really exist, Um, although it did, you stay, they

used to sell it. Look at how much America has changed. They used to sell Playboy magazine and Penthouse in the subway news stands. So there I'd be a little young buck, you know, twelve years old, and there's naked Booby staring at me. You know what I mean? What kind of world were we living in John and Mike you it was crazy, you know. I'm just trying to go to my little Catholic school and there's you know, Jenny McCarthy up there. Yeah, I remember that Jenny McCarthy up there

on the news stand. I'm trying to find the Wall Street Journal, obviously, and my eyes are being misled to the cover of some magazine of of ill repute. Anyway, So the Variety has this piece inside the intense, combative world of covering the Trump White House, and I just have to laugh. I mean, there's all this stuff about how how hard it is for these correspondents in the White House, and how uh how how there's the it's

basically a big pity party in this article. You've got a costa in the article, obviously, April Ryan Um, who's saying, quote, I actively get death threats just for asking a question. I have law enforcement on speed dial. Uh. You know, death threats are terrible and they're illegal. I can't think of a prominent conservative journalists I know who hasn't gotten death threats, and I know conservatives who have gotten attacked just for like actually physically attacked just for being conservative.

But you see this highlighted on the left, not on the right. The whole notion though, that the White House Press Corps is in this state of siege, it's just complete nonsense. They are leveraging this for their brands. They are literally making money off of this. Uh. They're increasingly in a position where their social media accounts are getting more and more attention and they have greater leverage visa the other employers and more offers. And this is branded hansing.

They want to be at the pinnacle of the hashtag resistance as journalists, but they also want to be victims at the same time. They wanted They wanted both ways. They want the public go, oh, it's so hard from Jim Acosta or to be up there asking tequurtion projative, but they also uh want yeah, that's right, Acosta, get in there, take it to him, show him who's boss against the President United States. Uh. There is nothing about Trump's media fights that at this point I'm I'm not

kind of in favor. I think he's fighting with the media is one of the best things that he does. It is not just highly entertaining, and it absolutely is. I don't pretend that it's not it's incredibly entertaining. But on top of that, it for many of us who for eight years had to sit there mouth's wide open, eyes bleary with this belief as the press was gonna Obama. Yeah, you're shredding the constitution and you're doing all kinds of things that you know, like pulling the phone records of

journalists and throwing them in prison. But you're so wonderful and you're such a genius, and we just want to thank you for being such an amazing, wonderful genius. After eight years of that, to be in a position where that same press corps is now getting flying elbows from the top buckle, so to speak. Never never Back in the old days, I used to I watched a lot of w w F growing up. Now it's w w E remind I gotta watch The Honder of the Giant documentary.

People say it's really good, total side note, non sequitor. But the press corps a bunch of whiny babies right now. If they think that what's going on with Trump is such a big deal, such a bad thing for them, we all know it's a good thing for them. It is career enhancing. If I were the rep which is uh insider you know, west coast speak or East coast speak too, sorry, coastal speak for being somebody's agent. If I were the REPS, I would be like, this is

great for you. Keep it going because you're already not a journalist. You're a pundit pretending to be a journalist. Not the same thing. So I have I'm shedding no tears for them. Uh, no tears at all. Buck Sexton to coding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. You're a great American. Again is the buck Sexton show? Thomas Cia analysts. No, just talks

of asylum hopefully being prepared. I can't guarantee anything, but he said that was right when I said that no one has the right to take any children away, or any anyone in general away from their loved ones, apart from God. The Pope realized, and I'm open the way they're realized. Just because you have a pole brain, it's kind of doesn't mean you have to die on the doctors say, so, we all die in our own way,

and we'll all die naturally. And that's always one for my son, and that's always Kate vicious for you from to die in his own way, enough to be made at on to be suffocated by a hospital can't diagnose him and have failed him. That was Thomas Evans, the father of a twenty three month old baby boy, Alfhie Evans, who has a degenerative neurological disorder that has now brought him to a point where he perhaps has hours to live.

He's been taken off of life support and we are at any moment now likely to hear that young Alphie has passed away. This is over the objections of his parents, however, who want to take him for emergency medical help at the Vatican's own pediatric hospital. The Vatican and the Pope have taken an interest in trying to help Alphie Evans, and the UK authorities British judges have decided that Alfhie Evans as parents, don't get the right to seek a

cure or any help whatsoever for their son. According the UK earlier today decided that Alphie Evans has one right at this point, and one right only, and that is

to die. It's a deeply troubling case and goes to many of the core objections that we as conservatives have about an all too powerful federal or national level government in the UK, the government will step in in cases like this and decide that it acts in the best interests of the child, not the parents who love the child and who are desperate to do anything in their power to give it hope, to give the child, perhaps a cure, or even just a few more months, a

few more weeks of life on this earth. But I want to be very clear, and this is reminiscent of the Charlie Guard case. And while ago Charlie Guard was a young boy who was in a similar situation in the UK, and he has since passed away. But this isn't that the UK government is saying we won't pay

for some experimental treatment. It's not that the UK government is saying just that there's nothing more they can do for the boy, although they have said that, and the alder Hey Hospital where he's being held has thrown off their hands and is essentially just waiting for uh, the

young boy Alphie to die. But the courts and the government in the United Kingdom, where you do have a national health service, everyone you have nationalized health care, they've decided that no one else is allowed to try and help Alfie Evans. That even the intercession of the Pope, which has occurred here, the Pope himself has weighed in and wants to help provide assistance to Alphie Evans, that

does not move the authorities in the UK. They are telling outsiders here that no one is allowed to try and save Alphie at this point, who clearly has nothing to lose and his life to gain in the process. The UK has said, you aren't allowed to help this boy. He is only young. Alphie Evans is only allowed to die. They've taken him off life support. He is slowly being starved and quite honestly going through a process that could only be described as a slow physician assisted suicide courtesy

of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. And as his dad Thomas Evans said at the at the start of the segment, the authorities have already failed Alphie Evans. They can't diagnose him at the alder Hey hospital where he's held, they have no treatment options available for him.

They've been able to do nothing for him. And yet they claim the absolute certainty of knowing that a boy that is days, perhaps hours from dying is better off just being allowed to I then getting the possible treatment offered to him in Italy, the Vatican, the Italian government, They've sent a plane. A plane is sitting on standby right now. They have emergency medical personnel in place, ready

to do everything they can for Alphie Evans. And the UK government says no. They say no. Alphie was breathing on his own earlier today, had been given some oxygen, but his life support has been turned off. This is deeply troubling. There's also a lot of security around this. The proceedings in court were treated like there was some kind of a terrorist who was appearing before the judge. They were searching people. I mean, the UK is really trying to make some kind of bizarre point here about

who's really in charge. And the answer my ends and most of the world when it comes to who's in charge you or the government is the government. This is an important reminder for all of us here in the United States, where we have the strongest tradition of any major country of individual rights and individual liberty, that this is a constant battle that we have to wage. When you have parents who are told that the state has a better sense of the interests of a child that

the state has already failed and already abandoned. Mind you, you know that state is m and authoritarianism are all too reel. Even in a developed westernized country, our own,

uh grandfather country, if you will, the United Kingdom. You also have the hubrists of the medical profession here where I could sit and talk to you at length about the history of conventional wisdom not just within the scientific community that was blatantly wrong, but the history of conventional wisdom within the medical community that really, until the twentieth century was responsible for a lot more harm than good.

One of the great ironies of the Hippocratic corpus, the text from which we get the Hippocratic Oath, is at a hippocratic approach to medicine overall. Forget about just the do no harm, but the multifaceted, it's all connected approach for a long time in history was actually counterproductive. I wonder how many of these doctors who can't even say what is afflicting Alfhie Evans in the UK. I wonder how many of them know the history of their own

city of London when it came to cholera. Do you know that until the mid nineteenth century, the entire medical profession in London at that point, the most advanced city in the world, was convinced that cholera, which essentially comes from human feces in the water supply, was the result of bad smells in the air, myasthma's they called it, and well into the middle of the nineteenth century, in the eighteen fifties eighteen sixties, it was believed in London

that the cholera outbreaks that would happen near and around the Thames River where the result of those bad smells. Occasionally a doctor would come along who said, hold on a second, if you look at how this disease spreads, it's clear that it's the water supply. It's not stinky air, you idiots, that is causing outbreaks that would kill thousands and thousands of people. But they would shut him down.

The science was settled. You see. Until we had an understanding of microbiology, the medical profession was under the very mistaken belief that cholera and other waterborne pathogens were the result of bad air myasthma's. As I said, and there's

still plenty of that. Doctors don't know. It's hard not to come away from this Alphi Evans case, and feel like there's something of an arrogance that has overtaken the medical profession involved with this in the UK, that alder Hey, as alder Hey's staff and the various physicians assigned to this case. I don't want to be shown up and shown that they are wrong, and I don't want to hear about how it prevents the suffering of this child. After travel, they have a jet waiting for him and

highly trained medical personnel. The Italian government has offered him citizenship. We are talking about a twenty three month old baby that needs amnesty to go to Italy, to leave the UK and escape the grips of the national health service there. That has decided the only thing that anyone is allowed to do for twenty three month old Alphie Evans is

watch him slowly die. Make no mistake about it. This can happen just across the Atlantic in a country that is quite close to us in its history and also its culture and its law. Our own common law comes from England. It's not far off from being a reality here too. So remember this today. It's very little coverage of it will happen in the media. Alphi Evans is being denied a right to fight for his life. His parents are being denied the right to fight for his life.

The Pope and the Italian government are being denied the ability to try and help this child because government bureaucrats say so. I've spoken about Kanye West um so much early on in my career here, I've said that he is the only person that is in hip hop or that has a public stage, that is willing to think independently. I do not subscribe to group think. I think independently.

I'm a free thinker, and I don't believe that because I have a certain in skin tone that I absolutely have to subscribe to all these ideas which on paper do not make any sense whatsoever. You've been following Kanye West's career, Kanye West has always been an outlier in terms of having his own mind and thinking his own thoughts. They told Kanye that he couldn't be in fashion, so he created an entire brand. They told Kanye that he couldn't like him, so he married her. Okay, so this

is no surprise whatsoever. This is who Kanye West is. Fundamentally a free thinker. Now that was that was kanadas Oh and talking about she's getting a lot of a lot of play in the media right now because Kanye West said he likes the way she thinks. We had Candice on the show, as I mentioned to you about about a year ago. Oh and now she's getting all kinds of attention for speaking your mind. And that's all great. I do feel though, like there's a part of me

that wants to just take a step back. Though we as conservatives, and this is nothing new with Candice. She's great. This totally sevord. This is about Kanye. We need to not get quite so excited whenever somebody who happens to be a celebrity says something even a little bit conservative. I'm not saying it's you can't point out and say, oh I like what Kanye said. Of course I'm doing that here on the show. But now there's like this whole movement that Look, I'm joking when I say that

Kanye is the great philosopher of our time. Alright, Emmanuel Kant, he is not. But the guy's got some some cool, catchy songs, you know, I like. I like some of his funky beats. He's got some good tunes. I do have some of them on my I was gonna say, some of my iPod I really such a child of the early two thousand's here now you know, I've got it on my shuffle. You remember the shuffle that when that thing came out, I was like life change or bro. It was so small and you just click and listen

to the different songs. It could hold like a hundred songs. Uh, it was amazing, you know. Actually the original iPod, because it's basically a hard drive just for music. They I don't know if it's still true, but they went they went through a period where you could actually a lot for them online on eBay. They became collector's items because you can have your whole music library on the whereas now for a lot of people, unless you're using a cloud service, it takes up too much on your on

your hard drive. So people kind of like the original iPods. It could store like thirty thousand songs or something crazy like that, and that's all it does. Right. It's like me on radio. It's a lean, mean machine devoted to one purpose and one purpose only. It cannot be reasoned with and it will never stop. Uh anyway, So we shouldn't get so excited about this because inevitably the celebrity in question is gonna then say something that that all

of a sudden, we're like, whoop, whoop. I don't really like that, you know, so just give it some time, and Kanye is gonna be like, you know, yeah, I like I like socialized medicine. And everyone's gonna say, well, you know, he was good on the whole free speech stuff. But look, it's fine. I'm just telling you don't go too far the pathway of thinking that or or embracing a celebrity for a limited range of commentary too much. Right. So there's that because I didn't even get to mention

it on the show yesterday. I meant to, but I had so much else going on in my mind here. But you know, singer Shania Twain has had she has made well, really only one mistake, although she's had two missteps for her public persona. I'm just gonna say, by the way, do we think Shania Twain is a particularly you know man? I feel like a woman very uh, very commercially successful. I've seen it on a lot of commercials, but I've also never been at a party where somebody

was like, you know, what we really need right now. Bro, you know what we we don't get this place lit Shania Twain. Is she that you're still the one I love? I'm not gonna say because everyone's gonna turn off to the radio, but she's You're still the one I love? But that, yeah, I remember when I was younger. I mean she was quite lovely. There was that when in the MTV days when when that sort of thing you would see it all over the place. But she had

the the temerity. Now she's a Canadian, so there's that. She the temerity to come out and say, uh, that she would have voted for Trump because quote, even even though he was offensive, he seemed honest. Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn't be able to have both. If I were voting, I don't want b s. I would have voted for a feeling that it was

transparent and politics has a reputation of not being that right. Oh, she said that, and then over the weekend she had to come out and say that, quote, I would like to apologize to anybody I have offended. In a recent interview with The Guardian relating to the American President, the question caught me off guard. As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context. All let me say this. You never apologize, folks to

the outrage mob. This is you only apologize if you, as a human being, truly believed that you have aired. You have to now stand your ground because the left has adopted the King Jeoffrey approach to the public apology. Those you don't know in Game of Thrones huge spoiler here, So la la la, you know your muff yourself right now if you haven't seen Game of Thrones. But the guy admits to his trees and to get mercy and then he gets his head cut off. Right, that's the

way the left does it. Now. You no longer go out there John that I just ruined Game of Thrones for you. I'm sorry, but you don't go out there and apologize because then you get you get the disdain and all the downside. Right now, they just think you're weak. It's also so crazy who gets mad at a country music singer for saying she would have voted for Trump? I mean, this is this is like you know my friend Tony the plumber from New Jersey, who's like I

would have voted for Trump. I'm like, exactly, You're a catalyst, a hard working American. This is no surprise to me. Why is surprising a country of music? You know, it's not like a a PhD in Women's and gender studies from the University of the Northwest or something. Is that even a place I just made that up. Uh sounds like a university though, right. It sounds like a place where they'd have one of those crazy protests that we

would make fun of. You're on the show. But it's not like someone like that came out or some you know, big left wing Hollywood celebrity. I mean, if country music stars Canadian or not I can't come out and say they'd vote for Trump, who can? So just I wanted to give you a little bit note of caution here before we all get too excited about one celebrity. Oh my gosh, I'm actually you've actually on the five earlier today they had Trump and Kanye side by side. This

is really catchy. Go on, look, I celebrate Kanye, not his whole catalog, because some of his songs. If you saw the thing with him and Kim Kardashian on a motorcycle on YouTube, by the way, not for the kids, but yeah, haunting in a bad way. And you know what I'm talking about. I mean, man has had some big misses. He's had some monumental not good stuff that's that he's put out there. But he's put out some good stuff. I like some of his interesting quips on Twitter,

some of his philosophy. But just everyone, I'm just saying, pumped the brakes a little bit on the celebrity love when it comes to their political beliefs, because they're gonna break your heart if you get too attached. We gotta roll into a quick breaker. When we come back, I have amazing news for you, courtesy of France. But it's a program we should implement here in the States. We'll be right back Vive la France, my friends. Yes, Emmanuel Macron, he is in Washington, d C. Here, is hanging with

the president. Now he's in the Rose Garden, no doubt smoking. The girl was staring at your wives, staring at any of the ladies and being very French. But Frances in the news for another reason right now, and let's give him a little props. Play for me, John now in the fence. It will no longer be acceptable. Fall zy, Oh no, the more mure. Why do you cut off so quickly? We're not gonna it's the it's mercy buccoo. Monsieur.

There is a study now that France will ban the use of meat like towns in the packaging for vegetarian food. Laraisy stance against the vegetarian is winning, Monsieur fantastique. No, this is for real, everybody. You will all right now, we thank you John d J. John's having some fun in there. Uh, you will no longer and we should follow in their footsteps here. I'm not gonna lie to

you once or twice. I've decided that I, you know, I've picked something out of the frozen section, and I thought it looked like it was a delicious you know, barbecue something or other or burger or burrito of some kind. And I did notice the funky spelling of chicken. You know, they'll do H y K N, And I'm like, maybe, you know, everyone makes typos, everyone makes mistakes, and then you bite into it and you're like, what is this sponge like tasteless glue blob that i've and and why

are they calling it chicken with a Y? Or uh, you know, calling it a The whole notion of a veggie burger, by the way, is like a pacifist action movie. It cannot exist, it cannot be. There's no such thing as a veggie burger, and therefore there's no such thing as or there's no such thing as a lot of these others in France. I'm giving them props here because they deserve it. May I see Blue Gloomy, see a sexton.

You are a fantastique vegetarian, and vegan foods will be banned from using terms such as vegetarian sausage, vegetarian bacon, vegan bacon. That's right, it's not bacon. You may call it vegan bacon. But what you're really saying is I like to lie about this vegetarian thing you're eating. You're not fooling anybody. Yeah, Producer Mike is looking at me. There's nothing. If you could make something that was made of veggies on this on God's great Earth, that wasn't

made of bacon, you'd be You'd be a billionaire. You'd be smacking Jeff Bezos with rolls of thousand dollar bills. You'd be walking around making it rain hondo's just for the fun of it all day long. But it's impossible. It is scientifically impossible. It cannot be done, and I'm just excited. I give a high five to a member of Parliament, Jean Baptiste. Morow it doesn't he sound like a guy that wears a top hat and carries a

cane everywhere? Man, Jean Baptiste. It's a French. But he said that soya and tofu products cannot be cannot be marketed as any kind of milk or butter. This is a huge victory people, no more soy milk. The Europeans are ahead of us on this one. I'm just gonna say it. I'm just gonna come out and let you know what's real here. Soy milk is not a thing. Milk is delicious, as you know from Ron Swanson. Skim milk is water that's lining about being milk. But soy

milk is really soy drink. If you want that stuff, that's fine. I mean, I can't stop you from pouring out the basin above your toilet and using that as drinking water. I think it's a bad idea. Technically it's separate from the bowl, but I can't stop you. Right, if you want to drink soy drink, that's up to you. But don't defame milk in the process. So that the French are are really up to something here, that they're right. Uh, they say that no one's ever really fooled by Think

about who are they trying to fool? Vegetarians are all I mean and don't ean and he started on vegans. Vegan is like millennial for communists. Now, I mean, vegans are radical and you know they they know that what they're eating is not like to fur key, is not really a thing. So is it just to make them feel more socially acceptable around others? Like if I were vegetarian, heaven forbid, I'd be like, that's right, I'm rocking out

with some beats and some celery sticks. If I feel really wild, maybe I'll have some porcini mushroom soun like you gotta own it, you gotta lean into it. Don't be like my porcini mushroom taste just like a cheeseburger. False for pinocchios. Your porcini mushrooms to do not taste anything like a cheeseburger, Don't you know, buck, don't play that don't try that nonsense. So I think we really need to start something here. We need to get rid of all this. No more of these uh these mess ups.

What I'm trying to buy stuff in the frozen aisle and I see something and look, don't even make it look good. I mean, it's just false advertising. Across the board. There should be a section that has meat, a section that is for vegetarians, and another section for people that are super into not having fun in life for the vegans, and that's it. That's that. You know, it should be clearly marked, and you should call it whatever it is. You know, you call it your veggie patty, but don't

call it a veggie burger. The French are right, we pay them homage messieur. So there you have it. Oh no, it's time for road call now, so you cannot go anywhere because this is like everyone's favorite part of the show. Stay with me. The show ain't over yet, folks. Here's where you take over, keeping it real, Team Buck. It's time for roll call. Remember if you want to be a part of roll call my friends Facebook dot com, slash Buck sexon or official Team Buck at gmail dot com.

First up here, we have Peter who writes a buck Sorry I got behind on the podcast. Work spoils my buck fix. I know what that's like, Peter. Next time you plan on San Diego, please reach out. I'll get you a behind the scenes, up close and personal tour of the zoo. It's amazing to see shields high well, Peter, that actually sounds awesome, and I want to take you up on that be great. If I could bring Miss Molly,

I'd get all kinds of brownie points. I mean, short of getting her like backstage passes to see t Swift somewhere. I think Miss Molly would be uh super excited or almost as excited about like hanging with some baby pandas. Maybe I don't know what they have at the San Diego Zoo, but I'm sure there's some very cool, very cute animals. I love animals. When I was a little kid, I used to go around telling people that I wanted to be an animal conservationist. I was so young I

couldn't spell. I literally couldn't spell conservationist, but I just knew that I liked animals a lot, and uh, later on I found out that conservation is still make a lot of money. So I decided that as much as maybe living in the wilds of the Himalayas looking for snow leopards looked cool on TV, uh, it's it's a tough, tough go so I didn't want to go that route. Next up here we have Julian Rats. Hey, Buck, I'm

a podcast listener. I'm a little behind, but I heard your take on Kelly and Conway talking to Donna Bash. Isn't it funny how the left says Hillary lost the election because women listened to their husbands and sons about who to vote for. Yet the minute Kelly Ann's opinion is different from her husband's, CNN jumps all over it. I thought they were all for women being independent and thinking for themselves. Just my two cents from over here

in rural New Jersey. Well, Julian, I obviously think there's a big double standard at work. That's just how CNN does things. It's a shame. I think it used to, actually really do. I think it used to make a good faith effort at being down the middle as much as possible, not perfectly so, always a little bit left skewing. But now it's just might as well rebrand itself as a Hillary pack with a media wing. Brandon next up

here Rights. I'm not in Helman Province, but I am under Centcom right now and have yet to miss a podcast, even if delayed a few days. I missed the History Deep Dives. Your history podcasts were on par with Mike Duncan's History of Rome. I want to listen when I'm peteeing or doing busy work. Semper fi from Brandon. Oh. Also, Brandon adds in to monetize the History podcast, think of doing a fundraiser story every few months. We'll keep you

in business. I recommend the History on Byzantium or British History podcast models. Not a bad idea at all. First of all, thank you for your service and thanks for the note. I really wanted the history podcast, but I just have. I got so many projects I'm working on right now, and I gotta pay the bills here in the Freedom Hut too. You know, we got got a staff, we got we got air time here, we got stuff we gotta do. But it is a labor of love. I will get back to it. It just might have

to be piecemeal. We're thinking about it. I'm also going to be launching a different podcast that we're talking about this week. That will be a once weekly and it's just be kind of a behind the scenes like if we were all hanging out on Buck's tiny terraces here in New York City drinking say some G four tequila, as I am known to do, what would the discussion

be like. Although it's just been me kind of talking to all of you, and we got a name for We're gonna launch it soon, but it will be a little bit of a of a Buck unfiltered Buck behind the scenes and that'll be a once weekly. Um. And if we can get that up and running and get enough folks subscribing to a downloading it, that will also help with returning to Shields High, which I was a one man band on it. I tell people that in this business and thank you. They're like, you gotta be

kidding me. How do you all the research? And I'm like my old dusty books obviously, So there is that. Uh. Seth is next up here and he writes, love the podcast, Buck, you weren't lying when you said Miss Molly was quite a looker. Nice job, bro. Anyway, God bless and Shields High from Seth. Will Seth thank you, And I'm gonna pass that along to miss Molly, who is quite lovely and a very very sweet person, very sweet young lady, and she's always asking how is how is the team doing? Buck,

and I said, all the team is good. They send their love. Um. Next up we get Monica here, who writes voting present Obama did it over a hundred and thirty times as a state senator. Shields high. Well, Monica, you are correct. You get zero pinocchios on that one. Obama did vote present many many times. Uh, and then came president for eight years. Uh. William writes quote, I'm gonna make him work to kill me. Best real life quote since less let's roll James Shaw Jr. A real man.

This guy is a ninja. William. I totally agree that guy. Uh. He stepped up and he did what was necessary to survive and was a hero in the process. And so it's a reminder to all of us. And I agree with you. By the way, I'm gonna make him work to kill me. That should be a mantra that they teach people in any of these extreme situation survival courses, self defense courses, because that has to be your attitude you can never you know, to borrow from Churchill. You know, never, never, never,

never give in. Right, you cannot give in. And there are some situations where you will be told, even by experts. For example, one of them is you never get in the trunk of a car if someone's trying to kidnap you, or if someone's trying to take you to another location. Nope, you fight, because once you're in the trunk of the car, they have complete control of the situation and you're probably not getting out of there alive. So you fight. You never ever get in the trunk. That's just a rule.

You can put that on the rule of of Buck Wisdom. Gardner writes next here, I love your show. Nice die Hard reference thrown in tonight as well, cost Get Together. It's always fun to work in a die Hard reference whenever you can. It is, in fact the greatest Christmas

movie of all time. Uh John Rightes, Hey, Buck, I was just listening to your breakdown of the relaunch of Roseanne, and I couldn't help but notice the description of the theoretical show which you wished was around to depict a healthy conservative family perfectly described the show Last Man Standing with Tim Allen. You should check it out sometime. Another right leaning show is The Ranch with Aston Kutcher and

Sam Elliott. Um I will check it out. John. A few other folks have given me the recommendation of Last Man Standing. Tim Allen's a very talented guy, interesting life story too. I haven't seen The Ranch with Ashton Ashton Kutcher, but I will also. You know what I'm actually instead of just saying this, I have a list of TV shows that I want to get to and I am I'm adding it on air right now, The Ranch and Last Man Standing. For those you're wondering what else is

on my list? Here, Legion, Uh, The Americans, which I've seen a couple of episodes of, and I'm trying to get through more Battlestar Galactica, which I know people make fun of for being a little nerdy, but I have super brilliant nerd friends who say that it's an incredible show,

so I would like to check it out. One thing is I watched the pilot and it seemed like the pilot of Battlestar Galactica relied on like a mini series that came before it, and I couldn't find the mini series can one of you Battlestar Galactica super nerds out there, and I say that with love send me a note on s book and tell me if I need to watch a prequel or something. Because when I tried to download off of iTunes Battlestar Galactica it there was stuff

that had already happened. I'm like, wait, what this is episode one? Why am I missing something? Uh? Legion, Outlander, The Americans, Battlestar Galactica, The Ranch, Last Man Standing, Longmire, I'm already watching, but that's on here up and getting through some of that. That's my Oh and The Terror on AMC. Those are my shows that I am either just starting to watch or hoping to watch soon. So

you can give me more wrecks on that if you like. Uh, we have next uppere Donna, who writes buck I love your show, but I'm really missing being able to listen live. I was able to hear your online station a couple of times last week on I Heart, but today it's not working. Uh, it's just not consistent like it used to be. Hopefully this will be remedied soon. Missing you Live, Donna Original Saturday Squad odd Well, Donna, I obviously want

to get this fixed. We'll we'll take a look and see if there's an issue with the stream of the show. And remember wherever you are, guys, if you're out of radio range or if you just can't, if you just can't actually you know, get to your radio station. You can always listen if you have cell service or uh internet access, and you can go to Buck Sexton dot com and just click there. We have a live stream of it there, or if you want, you can listen

on the I Heart radio app. So there and there's always the podcast on iTunes as another another thing to throw in there. So there you have it. Um that's what I've got going on. What else do we have?
