Trump Has Shattered The Liberal Mind

to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. Bring You're a great American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No year ago, I was waiting interesting in a taco shop in downtown Manhattan. I just got health insurance for the first time a month ago. This is not an elitist issue. Tell that to the families in Flint whose kids have their blood is ascending in lead levels, their brains are damaged for

the rest of their lives. Called them elitist. You're telling them that those kids are trying to get on a plane to Davos. People are dying. They are dying. And the response across the other side of the aisle is to introduce an amendment five minutes before a hearing in a markup. This is serious. This should not be a partisan issue. Welcome to the buck, Sex and show everybody there you had the day factor. A leader of the Democrat Party, twenty eight year old Alexandria Ocasio Cortez or

is she twenty seven? I can't remember lecturing us on how people are dying. That's what's at stake with her Green New Deal nonsense, that people are dying. She says, well, first of all, of course, people are dying all of the world. That's that happens. But I think what she means is if we don't take action as laid out in this Green New Deal, this massive template of environ Oh she's twenty nine, thanks producer Michael was a year

off environmental socialism. Right. If we don't jump down that rabbit hole, if we don't decide that that's the way we're gonna go, then then we are responsible. Then we have the blood of people on our hands, because as she says, people are dying. That is the claim that she makes. That is what we are supposed to be acting on. But if that were the case, what I would present to you is, shouldn't Democrats and take every

opportunity right away to take action on this issue. Shouldn't the Democrats move as quickly as they can to push as far as they can on the issue of the Green New Deal. Oh but that's right. When Mitch McConnell holds a vote, keep in mind that there's not going to be any real legislation that goes forward between now in the election, because no major policy legislation at least, I don't think infrastructure is going to happen because you've got a divided a divided Congress. Right, so we all

know this. We're all big boys and girls, we understand this. But Mitch McConnell says, Okay, you guys love your Green New Deals so much. I've got an idea. Let's vote on your Green New Deal. And so they had this vote and Republicans all voted one way and the Democrats voted in the Senate voted present. Now why is this so telling? Why is this important? And give give Cocaine

Mitch some credit. He knows And if you don't know why we call him Cocaine Mitch's because one of his competitors in a Senate race ransom crazy commercial about how some company he owned somewhere, somehow someone found cocaine somewhere. It's it's insane, but it's kind of become an insider a nickname for him in DC. And it's funny because he's he's the least cocaine like guy I think you

could ever find. But but Mitch McConnell knows. The Democrats love the Green New Deal to appeal to their base, so that billionaire mega donors, guys like Tom Steyer and others who are all into this Green New Deal lunacy because it's it's I'm here to tell you, the same people that believe that Russia Trump collusion was real and we're sure of it, are sure about the Green New Deal. And I was right on that, and you were right on that. We're gonna be right on this one too.

We are right on this one too. They have lost it. They do not understand the reality of the world around them, and they have replaced it with this existential threat of we must embrace tis twenty nine year old o'casio Cortez's vision of the economy and government, or else we're all going to die. If you look at some of the specifics in the Green New Deal, you realize that they're

foolish beyond belief. I mean even Congressman Sean Duffy, who actually had I had a drink with I was gonna say a beer, but you all know I can't drink beer. I had a drink with him a few weeks back, and we televise it, so I'm not like I'm speaking out of school. And he pointed out that you know, this Green New Deal, you better be a fancy Palo Alto type if you're really going to do this, because

it's gonna be very expensive. Play twelve. The Green New Deal is one that if you're a rich liberal from maybe in New York or California, it sounds great because you can afford to retrofit your home or build a new home that has a zero emissions that's energy efficient, affordable and safe. Yeah for you, it's great for you.

It's a producer. Mike ask a great question. Do we think do we think that Okazia Cortez knows what country Davos is in that because she's heard people be like, oh, Davo, it's like all the fancy people and there are private jets go to Davaos. Does she know where Davos is, I would mike. If I get the chance, I'll ask her. Yeah, I get that. If she thinks it's in Connecticut or something. Oh yeah, Davos, Connecticut's lovely this time of year. Yeah, I think. I think. I think you raised a good one.

So you know this is this is though, if you're well, why does this matter? It matters because of this, because the Green New Deal is really just about the left wing base getting fire hired up, getting those donations, rolling the demagoguery of the left on all these different issues brought under this false existential threat of climate change, and it gives them an ability to pretend to have serious and transformational ideas when they really don't. What do the

Libs really want? Medicare for all and the Green New Deal, Well, Medicare for all is just expanding an already existing but unsustainable and far too expensive government program and in the process eliminating the private health insurance market, which is a disastrous idea and people don't want. And the Green New Deal is kind of whatever they say it is, but they don't want to be held to it. They don't

want to be asked questions about it. They just want to talk about it when they want to, whether it's Warren or Corey Booker or Kamala Harris or you name it. They just want to be able to say the Green New Deal is so important, so they get applause from the far left. But they don't want to be asked questions like okay, what trade offs will you make for the Green New Deal? How serious are you really about this Green New Deal? They don't want to answer questions.

They don't want to have to be pushed on matters of policy. They just want the credit for standing tall and saving the world and all this other complete nonsense. I mean, it is just transparent garbage from them. But this is what liberals get used to. They get used to a talking point that they can run around with and feel like they're so brave and tall and wonderful. And the moment that you say, well, hold on a second, what do you really what do you really mean by that?

They go, oh my gosh, why are you so terrible? Why do you want to help all the oil and gas companies while people are dying out there? AOC stupid but powerful and dangerous to this country? Don't forget it. Just because he has not been criminally indicted for collusion doesn't mean he has conducted colluding types of behavior with the Russians. I agree with Bob Mueller. I accept his

report that the President did not commit criminal collusion. But if the best day of his presidency is that he's not been indicted for criminal collusion, we still have problems. Let's see the full report as soon as possible with the president immediately. I love it. Man. Representative Swalwell there, who is one of these guys who's look, he got very well known on this issue. He's become famous because of collusion. He's one of the collusion conspiracy theorists out there.

But Representative Swalwell is you know, he's out there and he's sticking to his guns on this. Man. Oh my gosh. Just because just because there was a criminal collusion, it doesn't mean that there wasn't you know collusion. First of all, collusion is not even a crime, it's criminal conspiracy. And yes, if Bob Muller, after all this stuff that he went through, after all the stuff that he put the Trump administration through, if he did not find a criminal conspiracy, any normal

person needs to admit, no, there wasn't one. This would not be a hard thing to figure out. This would not be difficult, by the way, And anyone who takes a step back and says, if we're talking about a button buttoned up or buttoned down on whichever one makes more sense there. But if we're talking about somebody who is going to run a very well oiled machine and a ship with no leaks, trust me that the Trump

campaign is not that thing. The Trump campaign colluding with Russia and not leaving a giant Neon pink sign as a trail is not possible, all right. You know, I talked to Carter Page today for quite a while. He was on set with us for about twenty minutes, and you know, I really like, you know, he's a very nice guy. He's quirky, for sure, He's kind of a weird dude, but I mean that in a nice way,

like he's just an unusual guy. And the fact that he I remember when those stories broke about Carter Page a possible Russian asset that anyone at the FBI, and they knew Carter Page he had helped him on a previous on previous issue, previous case anyone who thought that carter Page was, you know, a Russian asset should be removed from a position of authority right away. I mean, this guy, there is no chance, I was a no chance, No normal rational person could ever think for a second

that Carter Page was in fact a Russian spy. Like you talked to this guy for a minute, and it is so transparently ridiculous. But you know, they still they were clinging to it. They were still, you know, trying to trying to make a go of it somehow. And he was the justification for the FISA warring. He was the guy that was supposed to be the one that was going to bring this all together. And he's suing now,

he's suing the DNC for defamation. I hope he has other court fights ahead, and I hope he wins them, because he should. People were calling this guy a traitor. What a horrible thing to be said about somebody who did nothing wrong, nothing wrong. I mean, nobody believes Carter Page did anything wrong. You know, nobody thinks that he committed any kind of crime. There's not even an allegation of a crime. But they used the most powerful surveillance

tools in the United States government's arsenal on him. The Obama administration certainly got aggressive. And as we were discussing yesterday, these were Obama officials, Obama appointees. Does anybody really think that Obama did not know about this? Did anybody really think that this did not make its way all the way up to that? Look, Trump said it yesterday. They had to know. They had to know. It's just not feasible.

It's not credible that they would not have known about this, right, and that means that there was an opening for people at the very top of a national security hierarchy. There was an opening for them to engage in dirty politics. And I think what we see is they took it. They went with that opening. They decided that, yeah, you know what, that's probably probably the thing to do here. That's what they did. And will there be accountability for I don't. I don't think so. I wish I could

say otherwise, but I don't think so. That said, I also believe very strongly that we should look because if there's not at least a fear of future accountability, the next round of Democrats will do this again. Look at how successful they were this time around. I mean if things had gone a little differently, maybe they would have

stopped President Trump. You know, maybe they would have been able to throw the election or create some political pressure that was just so powerful that Trump doesn't matter that he is personally up for staying in the fight. It would have forced him out of office. And even at this point you have Swallowell, it'll not backing down on collusion. Just because there's not an indictment doesn't mean there wasn't collusion, sure, buddy,

So why was their collusion? Exactly? Give me now that we know see they used to say, oh, just wait for the Maula report, that's where the evidence is going to be. Now that we have the Malla report and there's no evidence, I'm just wondering, when do we get to find out what this evidence is? Right? The evidence is it in the Muller report, but it's somewhere else. There's there's some other evidence of collusion somewhere. Who who

believes this stuff? And speaking of holding the other side accountable? You know Rudy whom I also got to hang out this week, got a great photo of it. I saw him in the Greenham last night at Fox. I saw him a few days ago on rising. You know, Rudy and I were hanging out. Um, Rudy takes a different approach to Muller than everybody else as well. Play clip eleven. Not that he acted honorably, I would have to disagree with. I thought their treatment of Mantafort was way over the top.

I think that shouldn't be allowed. We have been fed this whole story for so long that Mueller is amazing, and Mueller is the guy that you know, you know you can you know you can count on, and that he acts so honorably all the time, and he's such a wonderful human being and all this stuff. We've been

fed this whole thing, But why is that true? Has had they an't even ever stopped to think maybe that, you know, Mueller hates Trump the same way that now I. Just because he didn't have the evidence to indict him doesn't mean he doesn't hate him. M Mueller might have disliked Trump the same way that Peter Struck or James Comey or you know, these guys, these very these very uptight FBI guys at the top of the bureau. They're

not gonna like a guy like Trump. You know, they don't like guys that break the rules and live life their own way and all that. They don't like that rogue behavior. Trust me, I don't like that stuff at the CIA either. The line that he threw in there about maybe you know, we're not going to exonerate him we're not gonna not exonerate him on on the issue of obstruction that was that was there was a bitterness in that. That was meant to be a kind of

poison pill left behind in that report. So and the way they've treated mana Ford who's rudy told me he's in solitary confinement. That's crazy. Keeping this old man in solitary confinement. What purpose does that serve? Because they think

that he might have done some window stampering. He needs to be commuted right now, commuted sentence to time served, you know, and let out a prison, let him back with his family, and and let me be very clear about this general, Michael Flynn should be out of all legal jeopardy forthwith. He should be pardoned. They ambushed him, They abused the professional courtesy that he extended to the FBI under the false pretenses of an investigation. A logan

act to take down a decorated American warrior. No, not on my watch. General Flynn should be pardoned. I'll do everything I can to get that word out and far. I'm going to get the word President Trump. I know he's hearing it from other people, but I want to get it to him myself, because General Flynn needs to be pardoned. We'll have more for you coming up. He's a person, He's a person that brought this forward. Now I remind you all. He goes back to also a letter.

The evidence came forward, a grand jury saw the evidence, realized this was a host a hoes on the city, a hoe on hate, friends, a host of people of good values. That's right, is without a doubt, a whitewasher justice and sends a clear message that if you're in a position of influence and power, you'll get treated one way. Other people will be treated another way. Mister Smollett is still saying that he is innocent, still running down the Chicago Police Department. How dare him? How dare him? This

is an unbelievable not just whitewasher justice. This is a person now who's been let off scott free, with no sense of accountability of the moral and ethical raw of his actions. Not only that Jesse Smollett Folks is thinking about suing the city of Chicago. I saw today. This is appalling, but this is what happens when you get somebody who's a very connected, protected special treatment democrat in the Chicago machine politics machinery. It kind of lost my

you know what I meant. This is from Fox News today. Chicago police came out swinging Wednesday, released the full sixty one page investigative report and he alleged Jesse Smollett hate crime hoax, one day after charges against the Empire Star were dramatically dropped. About an hour after the department released a file, Chicago police portly became subject of a court order from that barred them from releasing further files, even though they were widely available online. Yeah. The dismissal of

charges against Smollett over the allegitactor with swift backlash. The police file, some of which were redacted to remove witness names and personal information, laid out steps taken by detectives to get to the bottom of what happened on the night of January twenty ninth. The report revealed new details about the police obtaining a search warrant for Smolett's iCloud

account and then sharing the data with the FBI. The report also provided fresh details about the thirty five hundred dollar check that Smolette wrote able Osandi ro and Ola Bingo Osandero. The brothers claimed they were paid to carry out the attack on Smolette, those Smolets, that the money was just personal training. This is I mean, I knew this was going to happen, and that's it should happen. They should get I mean, somebody obviously needs they need

to disleak all this stuff. This needs to just be aired out entirely, that this smug, sanctimonious, self righteous little punk Jesse Smolette is now doing the whole I was always truthful and I'm going to fight for justice. And you know, liberals get better heroes. Really, yeah, I just just stop putting people forward for all the rest of us to think are so great into worship and everything who are just awful. You know, just get better heroes.

That's really one of the takeaways I have from all this. The st the Smallette situation is just such a classic case. And you know, we know what else annoys me too about this is that of all these people that this happens are so well, you know other people. You know, this happens all the day, all the time, except it happens to people with white privilege. No, it doesn't. This does not happen all the time. You do not get people who say that don't know what the heck you

are talking? What the heck they're talking about? Right? That is just not true. That is not true. You do not have a grand jury bring down an initial indictment of seventeen felony counts and then without anybody being involved, they're talking about anything, all of a sudden, the prosecutor drops all charges, does not inform the investigative agency, and has the court seal the proceedings right away, so no one gets to see anything, and no anything. I mean this,

It could not be a more obvious hit. What happened here? And yes there's Look, there's a connection into the Obama power structure in Chicago, and you and Michelle Obama's chief of staff, who there are now calls for a federal investigation of her weighing in here. And this is the Chicago way. You know that this guy is a smolette, is connected and he's done events with the Obama's and you know, he is very much part of the Chicago

power structure. So it's just a it's just amazing. It's it's amazing that this person holds any kind of public trust. Is also just mind boggling that this this prosecutor Fox is her last name fo x x, and this is utterly mind boggling that this that this happened the way that it did, that that Jesse Smollett is able to walk away, and that he's so dumb as to claim

that this is vindication for him. M Yeah, the files this morning were the last ones that we're gonna get from the cops because yesterday's ordered to seal the docs initially was believed to not apply to the city of Chicago, but now there's an updated order. So they made sure that this is a shutdown a shutdown can be. They don't want anyone to know because this guy's a Hoaxter.

We're not idiots, We're not idiots. Chicago authorities also I see here, according to a Townhall dot com or shocked because the case file has from their records database like it never existed. They made this thing. Nobody has this kind of power in the justice system. They have made this thing actually disappear. They didn't make it just kind of go away or not that big of a thing.

They made this disappear. It's like it never happened. Apparently the Assistant States Attorney's office in Chicago is asking employees for other examples like this. They sent this out this according to my friend Emily Zanati, he has been covering this very closely over the Daily Wire. We are looking for examples of cases felony preferable where, in exercising our discretion, we've entered into verbal agreements with defense attorneys to dismiss

charges if conditions were met. Please ask your assays that they have examples of these type of dispositions, and when work with them to figure out what case it was done on. Nobody's in trouble. We're looking for further examples of how we as prosecutors. Yeah, that's right. They're desperate to try to find some way to make it seem like this wasn't the most special kind of justice imaginable for Jesse Smollett. That's what they were doing here, That's

what this is really all about. And I just I just have to say you know what, what a what a horrendous example. This is for really everybody about what really goes on in our justice system and how the way that you can abuse it if you happen to be connected and if you happen to be powerful. I mean, there should be so much shame here, But obviously there's there's no shame from Jesse Smollett. He is out there lecturing, lecturing all the rest of us about this and acting

like he's done nothing wrong. Look, I'm just glad team. We were right. We were right all along. You know, we were right about this one. We were right when we were saying that he's a liar and this was a hoax. And here we are here, we are now finally able to say that the justice system looks terrible and it isn't. It is not, in fact just quote rich white guys who get away with murder. And it's not just O. J. Simpson. There are people that get

away with all kinds of shenanigas. Now did Justse Smallett? Is what he did the worst thing ever now I know, should he be punished. Absolutely? He denigrated hate crimes in this process. He lied and lied and lied, and we were told many times during the Russia collusion investigation that lying is a very serious crime, and what he's done overall, I think we could just say, is a terrible abuse of police resources and also hurts the public's faith in

the Chicago Police Department. I mean, all of these things are real problems. All of these things are unacceptable. So I just think that it's time that somebody try to hold just so small at too account for some of this stuff. That would be quite excellent. I talked to him just a few minutes ago, the president, and he said, let it out. There'll be some things in there I think will be interesting in terms of conversations. But the bottom line here is at Muller has looked at this

for two and a half years. He's concluded that no one on the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians and that the facts regarding obstruction were insufficient for him to make a decision. Therefore, there is no way you could prosecute a case if the prosecutor is unsure. No way you could prosecute a case the prosecutors unsure. Okay, that's true.

This report though, this report needs to come out, my friends, This report needs to come out because we need to stop hearing the libs whine about how, oh, well the report was out there, we'd see the real truth of the Yeah, we get it all right enough enough, we know we know the game they're playing, and we don't like it, which is going to be, oh, we can't say anything now. Let's just let's avoid the reckoning that

should occur. Let's avoid the reckoning that should happen, because we're going to say that we need to see this report, and the American people are going to be told that they need to wait. Just you need to wait on this thing. You know, it's just just give it some time and then we'll really be able to dig into it. No, no, we already you know the bar They were lying about this as soon as the initial judgment came out, saying, well, Barr couldn't have read this thing. Actually Barr had three

weeks to read it. But that was cute that they had that initial, that initial reaction to it, that initial attempt at trying to justify why it was unacceptable that bar oh oh, or they do this. This is the latest from Nancy Pelosi that Bill Barr himself can't be trusted on an interpretation by Attorney general who is appointed for a particular job to make sure the president is above the law. We need to see the report. So that's my message to our members. I mean, just what

a slander? What a slander? You know that that's why this guy was appointed to make sure the presidents above bah. So it was Rod Rosenstein in on it too, because he signed off on this. And are we supposed to believe let's really dig into this for a moment. Are we really supposed to believe that Bob Muller, with the team of highly trained and motivated prosecutors that he has, We're really supposed to believe that Bob Muller is going to sit back while the report is mischaracterized by Rosenstein

and bomb Barr. I mean, does anyone really believe that? And I mean does anyone, like does Nancy Pelosi believe that? I don't think so. I don't think they're Democrats who are that dumb. They may be that dishonest, but I don't think they're that dumb. I do believe that there are some limitations to what they can convince themselves to believe. But you know, we'll have to see, We'll have to see, they are, to be sure, scrambling, scrambling to try and

avoid this becoming an ongoing political liability for them. I mean, and they got a little free advice from from Lindsey Graham on this from play clip nine, my Democratic friends to do let this go. There is no grand conspiracy here. Mister Barr is a great man. He served this country for decades. He's very honorable. He's just telling you what Muller found after two and a half years. Now. I'll

say this. If they don't accept this and they keep wanting an outcome in spite of the evidence, they're going to get President Trump reelected on this issue alone. I wish that were true, meaning that I wish what Lindsey Graham was saying there was I can't tell you that. I think it is true, though, And here's why libs are crazy. Maybe that that should I should probably put that the top of the show. Welcome the Buck Sexton Show. Lives are crazy. But no, the liberal mind has really

been broken by Trump. The collective collectivists liberal mind has been been fractured into a million little pieces. And wasn't that a book, by the way, Brandon, Remember that was it wasn't that the book that went on Oprah and then the guy wasn't really about him or something? You know I'm talking about anyway? Yeah? Right? Is it wasn't it called a million a million Little Pieces? I think so. I'm thinking of the Park version though, a million little

fibers with a tally. But that's me. I don't even know what that is, dude. But you know, you know, you know things that I Yeah, a Million Little Pieces a book by James Frey sold as a memoir, later sold as semi fictional. Okay, yes, I was right. I was right. Anyway, the liberal mind has been shattered by

by Trump, and so they're not going to care. The savvy, the savvy ones among the Libs are not going to care that the Muller probe did not work as advertised, because the whole point of it was to slow down people and to make life difficult for Trump, and and in that regard it has worked. So the Muller probe unfortunately in a sense here that the bad guys have won. I mean, the Muller probe is um, you know, it was was victorious in that it was very annoying for

the Trump administration. But the ones that are true believers that really thought all the prudent Kremlin axis of the internetal conspiracy and people really believed all that stuff. They're not gonna all of a sudden become Trump voters. So then what are we talking We're talking about, Okay, the swing voters in those oh so important swing states and those you're listening to this show in Pennsylvania, what's saw Pennsylvania out in Harrisburg area, Pennsylvania and Ohio and you

know Florida. You know, you know that, Oh you are just oh so desirable to those politicians. They can't sweet talk you enough in those states. But are are the swing voters in those places really gonna care about the Russia collusion overreach? I don't think so. I think that's unlikely. So it's going to come down to these other issues, which I'm gonna talk to you about in the next hour.

It's going to come down to the economy. Huge, huge question no one's really looking at right now is what does the economy look like going into the next action. Is there a cyclical downturn in the American economy? If that happens, we're twenty two trillion in debt. Folks, we got over a trillion dollars in student loans. The subprime auto loan bubble out there right now is I think also over trillion dollars a huge There's huge amounts of bad debt, lots and lots of bad debt in the system.

That stuff comes due and it gets ugly. It gets ugly when it does. So, keeping all that in mind, what happens if the economy gets bad? Oh, No, one's really paying too much attention to that one. I think the Democrats and the even the Democrats socialists, or at least the Democrats socialist programs like Medicare for all that sounds a lot more appealing. But healthcare in general is going to be a big issue, a big determining issue. You know this. I mean, this is meet and potato stuff.

This is very straightforward. I think the immigration debate is going to be another one that really really matters in the twenty twenty election. Do I think Russia collision is going to matter in twenty twenty as much as we won and our week has been a big victory lap folks, I don't think it's going to determine the outcome of the next election. I really don't. You're probably familiar with the AARP, right, but you know AARP is actually pretty left wing, and they fought tooth and nail for a

government run healthcare system. So if you're a senior out there you're listening to this, I got an idea. Try the conservative alternative to the AARP. That's AMAC. All right. AMAC was founded by an Air Force veteran, Dan Webber over a decade ago to represent not only conservative views, but policy that's good for America. AMAC advocates for border protection, fixing social security, fiscal responsibility, and oh, by the way, when you join AMAC, you get discounts on car insurance, hotels,

roadside assistants, dental plans, even sell service options. So put your money where your heart is on this one. Stand with AMAC as they fight the good fight by becoming a member today. Join right now at AMAC dot us slash buck that's am ACTUS slash book. Just type that into your browser. AMAC dot us slash book. AMAK is better, better for you, Better for America. I'm very disappointed and vehemently opposed to the administration seeking to invalidate the entire

Affordable Care Act. Clearly, there are provisions of the law that you need to be fixed. The answer is for the adfenistration to work with Congress and present a plan to replace and fits the law. So Obamacare is a disaster. It's too expensive by far, people can't afford it, and the deductible is horrible. So the premium scose too much, the deductible is horrible. The only difference between now and the other administration is that we're administering Obamacare very well.

So we've made it better. But it's still horrible, no good, It's something that we can't live within this country. We're going to be the party of great healthcare. And the Democrats have let you down. They really let you down. Obamacare doesn't work, it's too expensive, it's a disaster for our people. We're not going to allow it to go

the party of healthcare. Trump says, I certainly hope so, because healthcare is always in the top three issues, usually right behind the economy and jobs in all polling based on likely voters across the country. So healthcare is obviously really really important to people, and we should not lose sight of that. People really care about their healthcare. And now there's this court challenge to Obamacare, and look do I think that on the merits, this court challenge is

likely to strike down the rest of Obamacare. Log No, I think that's unlikely. However, do I think that Obamacare should have been struck down by the Supreme Court back in what was the twenty twelve twenty thirteen I can't remember now, Yes, Yes, I do. I think that Obamacare very much should have lost at the Supreme Court the

first time around. I do not think the federal government has a right to regulate the purchasing of a private product, to mandate an end to your inactivity on an issue, and I think that they got it wrong on that.

But as to Obamacare itself, it's very clear that it does not work as advertised, that it was rammed through without, of course, any bipartisan votes whatsoever, that we were lied to, and Obama explicitly lied to us about this, gonna keep your doctor, it's gonna be a great healthcare, it's gonna be cheaper, They're gonna keep it. No, you will, You do not keep you if you like your doctor. You

did not get to keep your doctor. But even beyond that, Obamacare was eventually supposed to be phased in, you know, much more broadly through the rest of the healthcare market, but they kept just by FIAT. When Kathleen Sibelius and you know, whoever else was implementing it under the Obama administration, they would say, well, you know, that's going to be really unpopular, so we're not going to do that part

of it. All right, we can't do that. You know, we're gonna have to draw a line on that issue. And they were just changing the law as they went along. You know, they gave themselves all this discretion, which just meant rerunning the law in real time. And that discretion, as we have seen, hasn't made the law all that much better. It just meant that people weren't dealing with the full effects of it. You know, Obamacare got sold to us as more healthcare for essentially healthcare for everyone.

That'll be great and cheap, and what you have is healthcare for actually a pretty small segment of the population overall. That really is just an expansion of Medicaid, right the healthcare welfare system. That's what Obama Care mostly did was said, okay, now you qualify for Medicaid two in different states, and then in these individual markets, created a subsidy system whereby young and healthy people pay more into the individual market

to subsidize older and sicker people. That's what really has happened in the Obamacare market, the parts of the law that did not work as intended, or bringing down costs, that's just a joke. And giving people quality healthcare. I mean, I can tell you, you know, it's hard enough when you have pretty decent private health insurance. It's hard enough to have healthcare that you can like and you think

is good. Trust me when I tell you that, going into most most doctors offices in New York or Washington, DC and saying you and you have an ACA plan, you know, an Obamacare plan, You're probably not going to get seen. They're probably or at least you're going to pay out a pocket and the deductible for out of pockets seven thousand dollars. For most people, that's way more or than they're going to spend on healthcare in any

given year. You know, for most Americans, a seven thousand dollars deductible is really just what you have is expensive catastrophic insurance. So instead of you know, if it were free market based, and this is an enormous and complicated edition we're gonna keep talking about healthcare, so I'm not

I can't solve this right now. But you know, if you were trying to buy a health insurance plan for yourself, if you say, you know what, I'm gonna pay all my own health expenses out of pocket, but beyond ten thousand dollars a year, meaning if I get really sick and I have legitimate health expenses and I want a plan that's not going to say, oh, you know, this

type of cancer isn't covered only this. You know, you got a plan that's really going to say if you are sick, if there is medical need, beyond ten thousand dollars, your insurance kicks in and picks up, you know, in ninety percent of it or whatever it may be. You could probably get that plan for if you're reasonably young and healthy, you know, one hundred bucks a month maybe, I mean, you know, in a free market I'm just essing, but in a free market system, that's probably what would

you be able to do. But for one hundred bucks a month, I mean, the premiums that people are paying under Obamacare plans for a family of four outrageous, outrageous, and then they have to pay the deducible on top of that. So it's not good insurance, it's not to get an insurance. And they'll they'll put people forward with these stories either of prexisting conditions or that had Obamacare and they had a catastrophe, and so then oh, Obamacare is so great, but there are better ways that this

could be done. And this then brings me all so to how I am frustrated Republicans have not executed on this one. They have not done what they needed to do with repeal and replace. We were promised repeal and replace. That is not what we were given. We were told, right, We were told that if we were able to get a Republican in the White House and get a majority in the House and the Senate, that they would and they didn't do it. And there's no way around that.

And I know we could talk about how you know, John McCain and the you know, the backstabbing and all this, but it didn't happen. And one of my problems for that the twenty twenty election is going to be that there were opportunities, especially in those first you know, six to nine months when Trump was just ma maga all up in this place. There were opportunities for the Republican Party, for the Republican Congress to take real action on this stuff,

and they just didn't get it done. They just didn't get it done. Now we have to live with that and deal with that. Now. I think that if they have a plan, well, we really need let's be honest,

we need trump Care. I mean, we need a holistic replacement plan that people understand and that is sold to people, because all the Democrats did originally with Obamacare was, oh, it's pre existing conditions, and you can stay in your parents' health insurance to your twenty six And that was how they sold it to people, especially to younger people who get the worst part of the Obamacare deal. Young people have the worst because they're just subsidizing older, sicker people.

And that's the plan is specifically set up that way. But that it was a compelling sales pitch, and that's all they needed, a compelling sales pitch. So we need a compelling sales pitch on the right. I if Trump wants the Republican Party to be the party of healthcare, what does that mean for us? What are we selling to our fellow Americans? And how will we make healthcare better. Yeah, prescription drug prices, they've been doing that stuff. That's good.

What else is there? Though? Trump needs to drill down into the details. Morning coffee is an American institution. That's why when it comes to starting my day, I reach for the most American coffee on the market, Black Rifle Coffee. This is how I get every day started, It's how I get my energy going. And it just tastes so delicious. Black Rifle Coffee should replace whatever other coffee you're drinking out there. If you're not already on the Black Rifle

Coffee Club, I'm telling you you need to join. It makes it so easy. They'll ship the coffee right your door, and they'll ship it month after month, and you'll be supporting a company that is founded by special operations veterans that is really into delicious, high quality coffee, and you're just going to love everything they do, the branding, the

T shirts, everything. While liberals threatened to further tax your hard earned money with their socialism, Black Rifle Coffee is fueling the fight for freedom by upping their offer to twenty percent off your first purchase. Take advantage by visiting Black Riflecoffee Dot com slash buck and receive twenty percent off your order. Again, that's Black Riflecoffee dot com slash buck for twenty percent off Black Riflecoffee dot com slash buck. On Monday and Tuesday, CBP started the day with over

twelve thousand migrants in our custody. As of this morning, that number was thirteen thousand, four hundred. A high number for US is four thousand, A crisis level is six thousand. On Monday, we saw the highest total of apprehensions and encounters in over a decade, with four thousand migrants either apprehended or encountered at ports of entry in a single day. Yesterday we broke the record again with forty one hundred and seventeen forty one hundred people yesterday brought into CBP customs.

Does anyone want to take the position that this isn't a crisis? Does anyone really want to have that debate, have that argument with me? I mean, I'm just curious. I'd like to know who thinks who thinks that that is reasonable at this point? Who thinks that the oh yeah, the way that we should talk about what's going with the southern border is to just continue to downplay it. The border is effectively open. This is on President Trump's watch.

I don't know who or what I have to do here to get more attention from the people that can do something about it. And I am reaching out to the White House. I am actually trying to get some focus on this issue, because this is it's going to be worse. Why don't I tell you last month it's going to get worse, all right. I do not pretend to be no Stradamis. I just understand the reality of what's happening there and the trajectory and the politics surrounding

all of it. And you know, there's a part of me that says, well, maybe going into twenty twenty, you're going to have at least some understanding from people of the fact that if we don't get a handle on this thing soon, it's going to overwhelm the system, and we are going to have to deal with this as as a true crisis in this country for our for the overwhelmed public school system. We're going to have in some places, for the hospital visits, I mean the bills.

We're talking about hundreds of thousands now going up to a million, people who who are not going to be fully legally in the country, but are going to be acting like you know, are going to be showing up and demanding services, and they're going to need things their human beings, they're going to need help. Million peoples. What we're on track for this year six thousand migrants in custody, he says, is a crisis. They've got over double that as of as of today. It's my friends, this this

is out of control. This is a true crisis. This needs there needs to be a change here. Congress has to act, They have to do something to address what's going on here. You know, El Paso Border Patrol waiter and they they said, look, this is you know, this is what's going on there. They're just coming right across now and we're we're overwhelmed. Play too. The moment they've crossed the center, that real grand they have violated our

law and they've entered the country illegally. We have an obligation to interdict anybody or anything that crosses outside of the port of entry. Yeah, that's the law. You know. There are all these people that during the course of the investigation into Russia collusion that would fall on or their fall back position was the laws. The law. You know, if you lied, even if you lied about something very unimportant that nobody cares about, the law is the law, sir.

And we cannot make you know, we cannot make exceptions for people. We cannot allow them to get away with breaking the law. Okay, well, what happened to that? When it comes to this issue of immigration, if our laws on immigration, and this is really the challenge that I

think should be posed to Democrats. If the immigration laws we have are unfair and unjust, If they are, if they're just inherently wrong, then Congress and at least the Democrats in Congress who take that position, they have an obligation, an absolute obligation, to repeal the immigration and laws that we currently have and just say we are going to be an open border society and then pass laws about how you got to you know, check in really quickly so people know that you're coming in or you know,

and we'll tax. They're gonna want to tax things, They're gonna you know, that's the thing that the open borders left doesn't want people to just they don't just want the free flow of people and goods, because they want to be able to tax and they want to control, They want to count the individuals coming in. They want the ability to sort and assess the people that are

coming into this country. So don't don't think that it's going to be just a total free for all, although I'm sure there's something the left who believe that would be fine too. Oh, there's no worries about terrorism or national security. Don't just let anybody in the country wants to come into the country, no problem, there's no There's not a single person who has been able to explain to me how this situation is going to be dealt with and how this is going to get any better.

And a wall is not fix this. A wall helps maybe a little bit, and it would help with the broader problem of illegal crossings into this country. But the people that are showing up right now in al Paso, where I'm going tonight, the people who are showing up there are the migrants, these illegal aliens. They are seeking out US authorities to turn themselves in. They are not hiding in the shadows here, They're not trying to avoid detection.

They're showing up and saying here I am, I want my hot meal, and please process me and let me free. In the United States and oh, I have a credible fear of violence in my home country because of all

the gangs. Well, if you can have a credible fear of gang violence in Honduras, and that means you can stay in the United States, the entire country of Honduras, because how do you prove that, how do you prove that there's a gang on your block that threatens you and that we could have two or three million Hondurans showing up here saying that why do we even have a legal immigration system? If we're going to continue with this farce as it is at our southern border, what's

the point? Why have any of these laws? Why not? Why not just say okay, you know what, whoever gets here gets here. I mean, this is out of control. And then Democrats seem to have no they have no problem with this whatsoever. I mean you never I never

hear Democrats say wow, you got one hundred thousand. And it keeps saying people who are allowed to claim asylum, okay, but you know what else, people are allowed to be deported when they don't get asylum and to be prosecuted for lying to federal authorities, which every person who is lying to border patrol and lying to Immigration Customs enforcement. They're violating that law, same federal law that is used to prosecute Papadopolis and Manaford. You know, cannot lie to

federal officers in the midst of their duties. And you know, on a material issue that's never became the u A USA is along the southern border. Would tell you if illegal aliens are prosecuted for lying to authorities, that's the only case that they'd have time to prosecute because they're lying all the time, lying about all kinds of stuff, lying about who's in their family, why they're coming into

the country. So this is a crisis of lawlessness. And you know, while while we're shifting focus right now, I mean that the Trump administration it wants to talk about about healthcare. And look, I think healthcare is very important, and that's why I spend time on this show discuss again. I also think it's where Democrats believe. They think Medicare for All is going to deliver them to the Promised

Land on the twenty twenty election. That's their plan. They think that Medicare for All is going to is the ace up to sleeve that lets them win, the win the whole thing. I really believe that. So we need to get our act together on the right with well, not only is Obamacare bad, what are we going to do? What are we going to replace it with? What do we do that's better than Obamacare? What is our response that going to be? It can't be some oh, you know,

maybe this and maybe then. You know, it has to be something real. It has to be something substantial. But it won't even matter what we do on Obamacare. If we don't get the border under control, if we do not secure our southern border, our country is going to slip away from us, the country that we know. Because you change, if you change the demographics of a country fast enough, if you change the respect for the rule of law in that country fast enough, and the traditions

and beliefs, and you know, all of that changes. With the migration of people, this place will start to feel very, very different, and politically it will definitely be different. Right. I mean, if you have a few a few million a year coming to this country who are all coming from one part of the world and are going to tend to be invested in a large state apparatus for state government support the Republican Party is done. And that's the plan here, That is the plan. We'll be right back.

Facebook now has vowed to block white nationalism and separatism on its site. Previously a social media giant, According to the Wall Street Journal, here was only blocking support for white supremacy. This is one of these. At first glance, Okay, I think that white nationalism, white separatism are stupid and odious ideology. So how could anybody really have a problem with this? Right, that's the way that you're usually gonna

get a first reaction to this or that. That's I think for most people going to be there, their their immediate takeaway. All Right, So Facebook is we don't want them to have you know, cheehattest propaganda online. We don't want them to have uh, you know, this kind of stuff either. Um. But but here's the here's the problem. The problem is that Facebook is going to go well beyond the boundaries of just explicit white supremacy. This. All you have to do is look at how these social

media platforms have enacted in the past. They're different bands and their different restrictions on things, and and I can assure you that Facebook is very much going to uh use this and whether you know, I can't tell you if it's intentional or not that they're going to abuse

this this privilege. I can't tell you if that's something that they necessarily are are going to uh to do you know that they're going to use their editory, their editorial ability purposefully to try and go after non white supremacist speech or But but what ends up happening here inevitably is that the really really bad stuff they say

they're going to get starts creeping into other stuff too. Like, for example, if you're a group that is opposed to the mass immigration that is happening at our southern border, if you're a group that falls into that category, all it takes is for someone like the Southern Poverty Law Center for example, which we'll talk about later on the show. I've got an update for you on what was really going on over there, another massive overfunded left wing scam exposed.

But the Southern Poverty Law Center for example, can put that you as a immigrant or an immigration opponent, that you are somebody who is dabbling in white nationalism or or whatever it may be. A white nationalism is probably the main one that they'd go for. And awlvis on your band from Facebook? But are you told that your band or are you going to be shadow band? Are you going is your account going to be eliminated if you're just somebody who for whatever reason is singled down

this way? Or are you going to just have your stuff not appear in the feed? Do you have a right to even know that? Facebook's a private company. They can decide what feed goes where and who sees what right. They have a tremendous amount of power. And this comes at a time when the politics are particularly hot right now around this issue. Here's what this piece, The Walla

Street Journal says. Facebook has been under fire globally for failing to take sufficient action against hate speech and misinformation on its site. Pressure on Facebook is mounting following a live stream of the New Zealand mosque massacre, which prompted the country's Prime minister to call for overhauling New Zealand's social media laws. Social media giant previously only restricted users

from supporting white supremacy. The company said now it will take after talks with academics and civil groups, it as a termined white nationalism and separatism can't be separated from white supremacy and other hate groups. So white nationalism is now going to be banned officially from Facebook's platform. But again, I think white nationalism is a stupid and odious ideology. But what is going to qualify for the left as white nationalism? Look at the way the left uses the

term white supremacy. Now they will talk about our criminal justice system as institutionalized white supremacy. White supremacy has been deployed as a term to describe far more than what most of us think of, which is, you know guys who are aryan neo Nazis with tattoos on their faces, and people think of white supremacy and they think of something very different than that they tend to think of.

Or rather, people talk about white supremacy now on the left and they think of institutional oppression that's now white supremacy. They think of organizations that don't explicitly violate the law and don't in their charter or in their actions endorse anything that is white supremacist. But if the outcome, again going back to our immigration restriction discussion, if the outcome is that a disproportionate effect falls upon non white individuals,

they call that white supremacy. So the way that they expand definitions and the way that they play with these words, there's in my mind no doubt whatsoever that you will see accusations of white supremacy on Facebook for things that are clearly not about white supremacy. And if you think that I'm getting too far ahead of this, all you have to do is think back to things like learn to code. Learn to code would get you banned from Twitter for a while if you said learn to code.

Why Because the people who work at Twitter are friends with a lot of journo types, and those journo types don't like it when people make fun of them when they lose their jobs. Meanwhile, journalists love to write these kind of yeah, you know, this industry is dying, but you know, they should learn to code in another industry, they should learn how to be computer programmers. That was why the whole learned to code thing came about. But that could get you banned from Twitter. Dead naming somebody

can get you banned from Twitter. Mis Gendering somebody, So if someone is actually someone's actually male, and you refer to that person as a he instead of a she, that can get sanctions against you on Twitter, I think on face Book as well, so that's now a form of hate speech. Let's be very clear. I mean, this whole white supremacy conversation is an extension in the context of the social media platforms. It's really an extension of the hate speech conversation, which is just they call hate

speech whatever they don't like. The things that they don't like our hate speech. That is the approach that the left takes on all of this. They keep changing the boundaries, changing the definition so that there's not any good faith. Okay, this does cross the line. It's oh no, no, can we can the left make the case that something crosses the line just in order to silence somebody, to get a boycott going to you know, That's that's where this all goes. I mean, that's what ends up happening here.

They're just going to They're going to weaponize this against the other side, which is why the left is obsessed with speech restriction, because they want to maintain the power that they have in society, and they don't want ideas out there that they don't like. So they look at the very very worst idea say well, we need authority to regulate that, and they take it for themselves, whether

it's private company or in the government side. Now with hate speech laws, and then they start expanding, well, okay, it's not just the worst stuff. It's the bad stuff, and then it's also stuff that we think is really mean. Wait, really mean? Isn't hate speech right? There's a difference, there, isn't it. Isn't there supposed to be some call to violence and some inherent dehumanization And isn't that what hate speech is all about? That's explicitly racial in tone and context.

And oh no, it's just things that left doesn't like. This is where this is all heading, and this has enormous implications for our national political conversations. Censorship on social media platforms is the free speech fight of the future. So wait a second, are you telling me that Rachel Maddow's ratings bonanza is all over over at ms NBC, That Rachel Manou, who perpetuated this fraud of a story about Russia collusion, she's having a little bit of a

tough time. Now. Oh no, we're supposed to feel sorry for the situation. Give me a break. This is not even close to the kind of consequences that should happened. I mean professional consequences that should happen to people who were part of this, of this hoax. I mean they should lose they should lose credibility. If you can't lose credibility if you're a Rachel Maddow over at MSNBC, if you can't lose credibility for doing a show night in and night out based upon a false premise that you

were a very large part of perpetuating. If you won't lose credibility over that, you don't lose credibility over anything. There's nothing you're going to lose credibility over, right, You're just you have a built in audience of like trained seals that don't care what you say. They just want

to hear you say something. For those of you who are wondering how big of a fall down we're talking about here, Mattoo has had either the number one or number two rated cable news program for really the last certainly the last year or so, and on Monday it was down five hundred thousand total viewers. Now, a lot of especially the primetime cable views cable news viewing audience, they tend to be repeat viewers. They tend be people who come back and who you know you can kind

of count on. And she lost about a half a million of them on Monday. Now will a lot of them come back? I'm pretty sure that they will. Right, But is MSNBC going to be what it was? I mean, there were a lot of people who built careers on this lie. I mean they advanced themselves. I had some guy that who wrote a book called Proof of Collusion, some professor from a you know, like a fifth tier school up in New Hampshire somewhere, and I offered I reached out to him on Twitter. I said, you know,

why don't we debate this issue publicly? Dave Rubin will put us on his show and we can do it there. And this guy's like, I would never even talk to you. The fact that you even think that this is not real. This was a few weeks ago. He got all huffy. I'm a best selling author on the issue of collusion and a proof of collusion. I mean, this guy is an idiot. Yeah, proof of collusion. Good job with that, buddy. How exactly is there proof of collusion? Now? You know

there has to be some consequence for being wrong. You know, I don't want this to be like the Wall Street bailout situation where banks all of a sudden courtesy of the taxpayer and the very politically connected banks, that is, all of a sudden, it doesn't matter that they were wrong. You know, it needs to matter. It needs to matter that they were wrong. I know that Trump has got a he's got a rally coming up in one of it in Michigan. Is that is that today? Oh? No,

tomorrow night. Yeah, He's got a rally in Michigan tomorrow night. That will be interesting, to be sure. I mean, I'm gonna want to see that, right, I mean, Trump unleashed up in Michigan, just letting it rip on this week. And there's some rumors now that he may in fact attend the White House Correspondence dinner, which I have already said. I will not go to the White House Correspondence dinner. I'm not attending. I have no interest. It's not something that I'm in any way. I do not want any

part of that. I think the White House Correspondence dinner is all about a lot of self congratulation and media naval gazing, and I don't like the people in general who are there. Yeah, I know, that's right. I work in media, but I'm not particularly fond of people in the media. I like my fellow conservatives in media, and I like some Libs, but a lot of libs I don't.

But Trump may go there, and that would be really Interesting'll be real interesting to see Trump get up there on stage and just rip into a press corps that. I mean, we know Rachel Maddow as a fraud. I mean, we need to we need to say this, and she's

a fraud. She did what she had to do, she thought or she did what she wanted to do in order to promote the biggest possible ratings, and she ran with this scandal and you know, night in and night out, you know, just tapping a little pencil on the table, and you know, we're getting closer and closer to Russian collusion. I mean, they put people like Malcolm Nance on TV. Malcolm Nance does not know what the heck he's talking about.

I've seen this guy on TV many times. He inflates both what he did and his importance in the community that I come from the Intel community, and he's just full of it and kind of holds himself up as this really pompous super smart guy in this issue and does not know what the heck he's talking about. Obviously we know now the former CI director. People say, Buck, you were never CIA director. Yeah, but I'm smarter than John Brennan, folks, I can I can assure you of that. Right.

You can trust mind judgment a lot more than you can trust and trust John Brennan's. You know, he was like the provost of the university and I was a straight a student. You know, it does just because he's the provost doesn't mean he knows anything. But all these different people there needs to be I mean, the public, if the public wants to take itself and its taste seriously on the left. I mean, I know that you don't need to hear this, right, I mean, how many

of you watch watch MADO show. I'm guessing not very many. But there does need to be a public accounting for what's gone on here, and people do need to be held to account because it was an appalling disgrace and people were completely out of line. There were real consequences to this, and there are also a lot of people who were, you know, benefiting from this substantially. I mean, there are people who were very clearly able to use this to their professional advantage. And that's not okay, that's

not okay. Mataw down a half a million viewers. I want to see what the ratings are now for the rest of the month on MSNBC. How could you watch MSNBC. Let me tell you this. If some of the biggest names on the right, who were big defenders of this, if it turned out that what the left said was true and that Trump had ordered a criminal conspiracy with the Russians, I wouldn't be okay. I would be calling

for people to be off the air. I'd be saying, that's saying that person cannot be trusted anymore, and that's just reality. Oh you know me myself, I would have to make some some pennants if I had been wrong. But I was right. I was right all along, as were you. So the other side should not be allowed to just escape without without any consequences on this. And I just think that the I saw this on the on the Drudge Report, that the media gold rush for

the far left is now over. Well, thank heavens for that. Right, immedia gold rush is over. It should be over, and I think it's for the best for all of us that they're no longer able to do what they have been doing, which is just throw gasoline on this fire of Russia collusion in the most reckless fashion. We've played all these compilations and montages and clips for you this week,

and you know, you know it's real. You know that these individuals, these people who are you know, mega stars at these different networks, were just exploiting this whole thing, absolutely exploiting again. Mattos at the top of the list. She should be considered a joke. But MSNBC is gonna keep her because she's their biggest earner. It's all that at the end of the day. That's all that really matters to them. Who brings into cash. It's not about

journalistic integrity. That's a joke. I don't care about journalistic integrity. Let's not be silly. It's about who brings in the cash. Mattaw brings in the cash for them, maybe not as much now as before, But these people are frauds, my friends. Don't forget it. Don't you just love it when you find one hundred dollars bill inside a jacket you haven't

used for ages. It's a great feeling, right Well, imagine finding one hundreds of dollars in the papers that are sitting in your filing cabin or in those boxes in your attic, you know, from that old four h one k paperwork from the job before last, the one you forgot about. While that money's just sitting there gathering dust, it could be working much harder for you in a precious metals IRA. My friends at Noble Goold can see if you qualify, and they'll do all the heavy lifting

eleven five eleven. Individual results may vary invest wisely, standard text rates may apply. I think we need different values. I believe in the values of this party, that's who it is. But I do believe we could adjust the way we talk about it just a little bit. And it's one of the reasons why you always hear the word freedom on my lift. We've allowed our conservative friends to give a monopoly on the idea of freedom. Now they care about freedom, but they care about the very

sittment kind of freedom, freedom from freedom from regulation. Yea, as though government we're the only thing that can make us un freed, all right, But that's not true, isn't he. We know that your neighbor can make you un freed. Your cable company can make if they're telelengenes. We are.

May your County Clark can make you unfriend. Mayor Pete Buddha Gedge, and those of you who live in Indiana the Fort Wayne who wo audience out there, you're probably gonna have to correct my pronunciation of this one, so you can let me know. But Mayor Pete Bodage is somebody who is finally starting to get a little bit of traction in this Democrat primary, which is interesting to me.

He is often being compared to Beto O'Rourke because they're both young, telegenic, charismatic guys, so there's there's some superficial similarities. But I would say that boodag Edge is actually based on his background. Many of you in the Indiana area, because he's a South Ben mayor, are going to know more about what he's like on policy, and I'm gonna

have to dig into that a bit more. But on a resume only, in a resume only way, Buddha Edge is much more impressive than Peto Rourke and that makes me think that maybe if he takes Beto's lane here. You know, it has been thought for a while that the big the big three so to speak, in this whole process are going to be veto Biden and Bernie.

Those are the three bees. Maybe it's going to be Biden, Bernie and Bootage Edge, buddhag Edge or mayor Pete as it maybe is easier to say as a Rhodes scholar, which I'm gonna tell you this and people are gonna say, bok, come on. It's true though, being a rood scholar is a very political process, and it depends on where you are in the country. It's harder to be a RhoD scholar, more heditive to be Road scholar from some places than others. It's just the truth and the whole Road's process is

fraught with with political decision making. I mean, there's no real way to determine whether somebody is that much better a student or more deserving of the roads program than than many other people. So trust me, there's all kinds of favoritism and horse trading and nonsense that goes on. I have a few friends who have been road scholars, so I'm just telling you the truth. But he's a road scholar, which people get very impressed by. Keep in mind,

so was Ronan Pharaoh. He Rodan Farah that sounds like Brad stelt except Brad Stelter looks like me, but after some steroids. And so if you think Ronan Faraoh is super impressive on television and media, that's that's up to you. But he's also a former Buddha Jedge is a former army officer. I believe he served in Afghanistan, So props in respect to him for that. You know, that's something that is not about politics. It's just about the experience

and the service to his country. And that makes him, to me, somebody who is more formidable in many ways than Betto. Betto is just all flash, no substance. Mayor pete from a Democrat perspective has got some substance, and I'm starting to see people say that he's got a little bit flash too. This is going to sound really silly and fine, but I just got to tell you I do think it's an issue for him that his name is so hard to pronounce. People don't really like

really difficult to pronounce names and politics. But we'll see I've been told it's boot edge. Edge is the way to say boodh Jedge. So he's making this run. Why am I focusing on him right now? Though? One is because he might take the betto Lane, So he might be a guy that we see a lot more of. And I give credit to my WO WO land listeners out in Fort Wayne, Indiana, because some of you told me last year that this is a guy he's going

to run for president. He's very progressive. He's obviously got a lot of credibility on the left for a bunch of reasons. He brings the diversity of being part of the LGBTQ community to the table. So there's a lot about him that you know, you were already telling me. You add this together, and you've got somebody who's gonna run. I was like, come on, so a mayor from a pretty small city. That seems like a long shot. Well,

here we are, Here we are. He may be less of a long shot than many of us outside of Indiana had anticipated. But his opening sound bite there, which I know now is probably getting a little you've probably forgotten some of it, or he's talking about how we need to redefine freedom. I thought that was very interesting because it was a real window into a few ways

that progressives play the game. I mean, there were some things that he said and did there that are illuminating when it comes to what is it that progressives really do and how do they think of themselves. For one, the focus on definitional change as a means of getting advantage in an argument is essential. This is how we've gone from illegal alien to illegal immigrant, to undocumented immigrant

to now just undocumented person. They change the language because it is very important, not just in the course of winning debates, but also when people use certain words to describe certain things, they are inclined to think about them in a specific way. They're inclined to take certain conclusions from that. And that's something the left does very very well. They control the language. They control the way we discuss

these matters in these issues. And so that's why saying that they want to take freedom, they've taken the word liberal and completely flipped it upside down. And now now we have to refer to the left in American political discourses liberals when they are anti liberal. We conservatives are the classical liberals believe in individual human liberty and the

state's obligation to preserve and defend that. They believe in a collective liberty of sorts, which is what he started to get into here with this freedom from right when he says that, of course he goes right for regulation. But why shouldn't we want freedom from undue regulation? Why shouldn't we want the government less involved? History shows us that the government is not a very efficient manager of

the day to day tasks of human beings. The government does not excel at running economies, and it certainly doesn't excel at running your life. And that there are basic guidelines that we agree on in society doesn't mean that there should be endless guidelines. But he also said that you aren't free. For example, if a county clerk, well, in that case, it sounds to me like he's saying, yeah, the government can be it can infringe upon your freedom.

So he you know, he moved into the territory of I think, refuting really his own point that the government is the threat to your freedom. And that is the case. The government is the greatest threat to your freedom. It is very unlikely that any foreign country is going to show up and try to conquer and enslave you in

your lifetime listening to this, that's very, very unlikely. What is not entirely unlikely is that our government will increasingly overstep its bounds and become the leviathan that we've all been warned about for so long, stretching all the way back to the founding, and that it will be too late. That is a much more realistic scenario than all of a sudden you have to start learning Korean because North Korea invades and takes us over, or China or you

name it. But freedom from is something the left also really leaves in because they think that there should be freedom from frustration, freedom from failure, freedom from harm, and those are all very broad concepts. You might think yourself, well,

how's that supposed to work. Oh, well, the government's going to protect you from all that stuff, don't you see the government's going to be the one that steps in and make sure that you don't have to deal with these these difficult problems, these these issues that present themselves to you as just a function of you know, day to day life. So that's a big lie. It's one I think we all to be very aware of, is that you know, the government is not You've heard me

say before, the government is not your friend. Government's not there to give you hugs, and it's not there to make you free from sadness and difficulty and challenge. The government's supposed to allow you to embrace your own sadness, difficulty and challenges on your own and not get in your way. That is, when we're talking about politics, what freedom is all about. And for Mayor Pete Boutagage to start the conversation about changing how we think of freedom

to fit the status progressive Left's approach. We're not gonna let them get away with that team, not anytime soon. We'll be right back. There's only one dual certified, veteran owned background investigation and vetting company out there, and it is Global Verification Network. For those of you who either work in the HR department of a company or have

your own company. I'm telling you background checks are essential, and you want to work with the best company that will get them done efficiently and will tailor their program and how they do it to your need. So whatever size company you are, from a startup all the way up to a fortune one hundred, Global Verification Network can come up with all of your solutions and whatever business intelligence and vetting you need. They can work with you on that too. They are absolute pros. I know the CEO.

I try him. You can trust him to go to MYGVN dot com again, that's my GVN dot com or called Global Verification Network at eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine eight seven seven six nine

five one one seven nine team. I just wanted to follow up on a story that I mentioned here on the show a few weeks back about the Southern Poverty Law Center and how the founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, Morris D's, was summarily dismissed on March fourteenth, and just based on the way that they wrote about how he was sent packing, I had a feeling you will recall. You can always go back and check me

on these things. I had a feeling that mister D's may have had something along the lines of a me two problem. Maybe mister D's was a little bit too friendly, and he was an older an older man, he was too friendly with some of the younger female staff who went to work for him. And sure enough that now has been reported as the case that it was widely known that D's was very aggressive in his hitting on

young female staff. Mister D's didn't stop to think, maybe that these women should not be hit on, and that it's inappropriate for a man of his age to be

making overtures toward women in their in their twenties. How this was when remember when he when this guy got fired, the statement that they released said the following quote, when one of our own fails to meet those standards, no matter his or her role in the organization, we take it seriously and must take appropriate action, And they immediately scrubbed him mister D's from the SPLC website. Now, now this is interesting for a number of reasons. One is, yeah,

I could I was right. I mean I had intonated on the show, or I had guessed on the show that it was a me too situation. That got this guy canned, although apparently there were other things too. He the Southern Poverty Law Center, for all of its talk about fighting white nationalists and fighting for justice for oppressed minorities, it wasn't very good on diversity in its own ranks.

And this piece in The New Yorker, the Reckoning of Morris D's and the Southern Poverty Law Center, that I read was quite interesting because it goes into how, really the Southern Poverty Law Center is yet another one of these institutions that maybe it started out as one thing, but over the course of time, because it is a it is a left wing organization, it became a kind of Khan. It became a massively were funded, I mean

hundreds of millions of dollars. It has an enormous I've never seen it or been to it, but I was. I've read the descriptions of an enormous glass and steel structure down in Alabama that people said looks like the Southern Poverty Death Star or something like that. So they have all of this money and they're very prolific at fundraising. And what this really became was media matters with a better, better story, with a kind of better institutional pedigree behind it.

That's all the Southern Poverty Law Center had become. It was a group that would be used to weaponize the legacy of fighting for civil rights against in some cases mainstream conservatives or Muslims like Modged Nois. I mean they they had to pay out millions of dollars in settlements to Modged Nois for example. So yeah, they do they sue actual white nationalists and go after Area Nation people and all that shore. They they do some of that too.

I'm not saying that's the only thing that they did, but the organization had clearly become a cash cow for a lot of people who were involved in it. And it's just yet again one of these places that for years I've been saying, So the Property Law Center, you know, you just read their publications, you see some of the stuff they put out there, and it's very obviously left wing.

It's not about combating hate so much as it is about advancing the cause of the left, which sometimes includes combating hate, but sometimes it includes writing articles and putting people on lists who don't belong on them because they're

your political enemies. And that's what the Southern Property Law Center had turned into and some of its stuff that would it would publish about, you know, right wing extremism and the rise of right wing nationalism was just was hyperbolic, poorly sourced, ifurst at all, and was meant to create this perception because it's good for business of America as this very racist country and there's so much racism in America.

And you know, people also were writing articles like that, and I didn't get to them here on the show, but after the terrible shooting in New Zealand in the mosque with that shooter who killed fifty people, and there were people saying that, well, you know America, because a lot of lefties in America like to use any opportunity to bash this country. They're saying in America exports its racism to the rest of the world. This is something that you will hear that the white nationalist ideology of

America has now infected other places. Becomes America is so racist. This has become a more widespread belief on the left. And anyone who spent time outside of America knows that racism in different forms is all over the place. There's lots of non white racism in the world, which is a shock to so many liberals. I know, what do you mean, there's the only but but you know, I have a chart and it shows that, you know, white

males are the bad people and then everybody else is oppressed. No, it's not the case in a lot of countries, where there is racism based upon the the within that ethnic subgroup, the darkness of one's skin, the racism against different ethnicities within a country. I can tell you that the Middle East, for example, is notorious for anti African racism, and within the Islamic world, there's a tremendous amount of anti black

racism that exists. And you know, you go to countries in East Asia and there's racism against people from anywhere that's not that country in East Asia, particularly a country like Japan. So there's racism all over the world. But it's good for business for some people in this country to try and convince as many people as possible that America is uniquely and disgustingly racist and it's just not true. And the Southern Poverty Law Center had become one of

those organizations. I can't speak to what it was decades ago. I only know what it's been for the last ten years that I've been paying attention, and I know that it's publications are not to be taken at face value all the time. There's a lot of politics behind what they do, and there's also internally a weird kind of cult of the two top guys who are both white males, you know, both the top of the oppression pyramid and

the left. Just you see this time and again. There are all these people who are supposed to be warriors for social justice, warriors for equality and for diversity, but in their own lives they want to be able to you know, grab it women without any without any issues coming up for them, and they want to be super rich and not have to live by the rules that

the rest of us do. This is the hypocrisy that is one of the most appealing components of being a democrat, being a leftist is that if you subscribe to their ideology, you get the equivalent of indulgences in the old Catholic Church, right, you can get away with stuff. Apparently Morris D's couldn't get away with all this stuff, and that's why they

booted him. We will talk a little bit here about just a press conference that happened today at the border to set up my border trip starting tomorrow and then we'll do role call, so I'll be right back. Customs and Border Patrol had a press conference today. I didn't get nearly the attention that it should have. I'm hoping to be a part of shifting the focus here nationally if I can, to what's going on at the border. But everything that I had assumed was going to be

the case. All of my expectations. As I am sitting here with my bags packed to get down to El Paso and see what's going on for myself and spend time with Border Patrol, all of my expectations have come true and they are overwhelmed. The situation at the border is dire. They will have over a hundred thousand illegal and inadmissible crossings for the month of March. That puts us in the same territory as we were in the early two thousands, which was an absolute peak for crossings.

The only time where there may have been more crossings was the nineteen nineties. But in the nineteen nineties, a lot of the people who were crossing because the border was so open in some places, we're going back and forth, and there were far more immediate detentions and removals because

almost all of the illegal traffic was Mexican nationals. Now there are substantial changes to this population that's at the southern border compared to that group of Mexican those groups of Mexican nationals in the nineties, in the early two thousands. These are mostly Central American migrants, and they understand what the rules are. They are showing up. They've been told by the coyotes and the smugglers that they don't have to try to get around border patrol the family units.

They just need to be taken to border patrol. They surrender themselves. They claim that they have credible fear, and now border patrol is just letting them go, essentially letting them into the interior of the United States. Immigrations and Customs enforcement can barely process them. You had Customs and Border patrol today say that they're taking people off of other missions on the border, like drug interdiction, stopping cartel smuggling,

including at ports of entry. By the way, to deal with the health and the immediate health and physical safety risks of some of these migrants who are showing up, there's a twenty five hundred person caravan that is making its way up from Mexico, a huge group that is going to show up and likely surrender itself. My friends,

this is not going to get better. We are in the middle of what is a mass migration from Central America into the United States and we do not have the political will or the legal framework right now to stop it. We are importing hundreds of thousands of people that are not being brought into this country for family reunification, and they're certainly not being brought into this country for their skills and what they will contribute to the economy.

This is a massive exploitation of the system. Democrats are all in favor of this. They will not speak honestly about it, but the truth is that if the Democrats get their way, they just want this to continue. They view this as a step to enlarging the welfare state. They think that will be near open border status, and especially if the next president comes along and as a Democrat, which we always have to take that possibility seriously, they will push for amnesty. And that amnesty push is going

to result in the death of the Republican Party. If it is successful, you will not have a party devoted to limited government and conservatism and rule of law in this country. If Amnesty goes through, you will have America go the way of Europe with a social welfare state that is the single unifying characteristic of this country. And also culturally linguistically in terms of our traditions, that's going to put a lot of strain on this country as well.

But I'm going to tell you everything I can as soon as I get down there and spend the day with border patrol, and we're really going to try to get a lot of frontline information out to you. So I'll be talking to you from El Paso, Texas tomorrow and Team we'll hit roll call in just a moment. Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, Because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned

up to eleven. It's time for roll call. That's right, roll call before I head on down to the border, everybody, last roll call from DC. For a few days, I'll be doing the show from El Paso, where the migrant crisis is at a a fever pitch right now. I'll be doing the show from down there, bringing you some insights. And then Friday, I believe we have the Godfather Michael Pelka in for me as I make my way back into swamp Central. That is the plan, So let's see

if we can stick to it and keep it. Kragilac and Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton, if you want to send me your thoughts, your feelings, your witty, whimsical observations on life, all that good stuff. Chris. First up, wouldn't it be awesome if Trump sued Jessie Smollette for using his copyright MAGA to ruin him? Chris? I appreciate the creativity in what you're saying. I do not understand exactly what you are trying to say, though, so thank you for writing it. I guess that would be awesome.

I don't think that the Trump could do that, though, but thank you, Dwayne. We know the Earth isn't flat. If it were, the Democrats would have fallen off the left edge by now. Booom boom Yeah, Dwayne, you go, Dwayne. You don't let anybody tell you your jokes aren't fierce. Jokes are fierce. I enjoyed that one. Kimberly Buck, I've not heard anyone in this fake Russia mess discussed John Roberts if he is overfis a court judges. Is it

possible he is in on this two? Which is like your thoughts, is my guts telling me he's compromised all the way back to the Obamacare mess. Just a thought keeps running through my head. Kimberly, the FISA courts are a different or in a different process, and John Roberts is not overseeing the FISA court per se. And I don't even know how I'd have to look into how oversight of FISI courts is supposed to work. Quite honestly, I think there's very little real oversight, if any. So

you raise an interesting question. Remember it's a secret court, so expectations are that there's not going to be a lot that goes on there that people get to find out about. Alice hey Buck. I'm waiting for someone to make the connection that Jesse Smollett's attorney was Mark Geragos, who has been named as a a co conspirator in the Avanadi Nike extortion case. Connections. Maybe we'll be old news by the time you get this, but I think it's odd that no one has mentioned it yet. By

the way, I listen to your podcast every morning. You are my ride along in my pocket while I feed my horses and do my chores. I value your perspective and opinions and love your laugh when you find something completely absurd. Thanks for all you do every day, Alice. Well, Alice, thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words. And as for mark Eric Goes, Yeah, I meant to mention that yesterday I think he's been he has been dropped.

He was a CNN contributor on the legal side, and they have said, oh, I think we're going to drop this guy because he is now toxic because of what has gone on here. So there is that David Shields high buck KLBJ Austin listener here, all right, David, give them a shout out to all the folks in KLBJ Austen.

To be honest, small Lett getting away with a hate hime is not all that surprising given how Democrats we're looking after the Trump exoneration, liberals needed something to knock the Mulla report off the headlines, even if it's letting a man walk free after framing an entire group of people. Don't let them win. Keep talking about Trump's vindication and seeking justice for the collusion hoax. Well, David. I really appreciate that, because, yeah, I do want to make sure

that we don't take the pressure off. You know, the victory lap is not over and the retribution that should be attended to victory laugh. It's just getting started, my friend. We are we are just beginning to get that victory laugh going on here. So I think it's important we

keep an eye on that going forward. And I'm going to continue to dig into the Russia collusion fiasco from the perspective of who tried to make this coup happen, and who has been held accountable, and what can we do to prevent this from ever happening again, all very very important things. Grace Rights, Hey, this is it's actually Garrett from East Tennessee. Thank you for your continued coverage

of the immigration crisis. I know you're possessive of your time with the team, but please do have Tom Holman on the show. I'd love to hear the two of you do a Freedom Hunt special for a whole hour segment about the issues surrounding our border. Something you have alluded to in your coverage is the incredible cost to society that's such a large population of legal immigrants presents, But I have never heard anyone paint the picture in

the context of US state populations. If we have a population of twenty to twenty two million illegal immigrants, as the mathematicians at Yale tell us, we have a population higher than forty seven individual states. Imagine adding the infrastructure of the entire state of Florida population about twenty one

million across the country. And that is what we're going to do to accommodate the population increase and maintain the operation and function of our society, paying for Florida's roads, freeways, utilities, emergency personnel, hospitals, doctors, schools, etc. What number the left claims for the whatever number the left claims for the legal population, look up the US populations and put it

in context. Garrett, Well, Garrett, I think you've done a very good job of just that for all of us, by telling us exactly what's going on here and what we need to be aware of when it comes to just how much illegal immigration affects this country and what the real costs of it may be. So I think you're I think you're doing a good job. I think you're all over it, my friend. So thank you so much.

For that, And yeah, it's true, especially if the number is twenty two million, as I really do believe it is, or I shouldn't say twenty two million. It's over twenty was the number of those Yale mathematicians came up with. I have no faith whatsoever that the federal government knows the real number. And I also know the federal government does not want to know the real number. They want there to be an before they have to do a full count, because once the amnesty comes, then it doesn't

matter what the count is, because you've already decided. We will have decided, as the American people, via our representatives, that it's time for amnesty. So if it's eleven million or twenty million, we're just welcoming more people into our American family. And no one is going to feel like there's anything there's any particular jeopardy for their careers or for their credibility or anything else. And the Democratic Party is not going to view it as a liability. Quite

quite the opposite. They will think that it is a massive benefit for them. So there you have it, Gene right, Gillibrand carrying on about climate change sounds like a five year old crying on the playground at recess. Please, for the love of all that's Holly, stop sound bites like that shields Hie. Well, you know, Gene, I understand that there's there's a balance here between listening to the crazy leftists too much and listening to them so that you

understand what they say and what they really believe. And I think we strike a pretty good balance. But you know, Jilla Brand really does remind me of a kind of young Hillary Clinton. You know, I think that she's somebody who will just say anything and do anything to get ahead in her political career. She has no ethical core to speak of. She's just somebody who really really wants to be in power and really wants to be calling the shots. And that's why now she says that she's wrong.

I don't know if you saw this, but Jilla Brand, who used to be pretty pro gun because she was a congress congresswoman from a part of New York State that being pro gun was a smart thing to be, now she's miss you know, March for Our Lives, Stop the Gun Violence. NRA is bad. You know, whatever she has to say, So she is a person I don't think we have to worry about as a real presidential contender, but she will continue to be an irritation in American

politics for the foreseeable future. Gene writes, just my opinion, but that beard makes you look like Taliban Jean, Come on, Taliban man. That's harsh. Not a lot of red bearded Taliban guys running around. Look the beard. I don't know how long the beard is going to stay. I go back and forth on it. So right now though, it's finally grown in, so it's not patchy. So I'm enjoying that part of it, and I'm definitely gonna keep it

for a little bit longer. But in these hot DC months, I think clean shaven is going to beat out bearded. Just I think it's really hard to really hard to get excited about having a lot of fur on your face when it's in ninety five degrees here with one hundred percent humidity. Dotty right, just already talking about Hillary Jr. I mean, Kirstency Dottie thinks the same thing I do. If she wants to talk about climb it and loss

of life to fire, what about peshtigo? Oh wait, eighteen seventy one was just about the end of the little ice age, so I guess that doesn't count shaking my head, Dotty. I don't know what peshtigo is, so I'm gonna have to leave that one up to you. But thanks so much for writing in Oh, Harley writes Buck, I gotta disagree with this stretchy pants talk. I for one, can't stand them. Maybe it's because I'm a barber and their short hair clippings get stuck in the elastic and never

come back out. I wouldn't mind so much if I could find some normal pants, but later that I can't seem to find any non stretched jeans anywhere. The only jeens I can find without elastic are either shapeless masses of fabric or jeans that cost two hundred dollars online. I hate it. Well, Harley, far be it for me to tell you where you should get a good pair of jeese, because I honestly don't really I'm not really a jeans expert. And as for stretchy pants, I don't

really know what the best move is there. I think you just gotta go with go with the flow, my friends, Go with the flow? All right? We got time for another one in here, don right, Good evening, Buck shields higher. Nice to see the left tucking their tail and running on the road of President Trump's reelection test. Studo, brother Don down in Louisiana. Oh wait, lower Alabama? Not Callie, Wait what I'm confused here, Don, But I get what you're saying. Lower Lower Alabama is la oh la lower Alabama.

Come on, Buck, get sorry, guys, I'm already thinking about I got a couple of flights down to El Paso, and my mind started to wander a little bit. I'm like, what flights am I going to be on? Exactly? Will this be like back in the day in the Indiana Jones movies, or you get on a flight and there's a bunch of chickens flying around and all that stuff. Because I'm flying a budget airline, so I don't know which budget airline I'm gonna be on. That's right, Buckflies, coach.

It's how we roll, folks, It's how we roll, stylin. That's gonna be it for the show today, my friends. I'll be talking to you tomorrow from and down on the border in ol Paso, Texas. If you have any Ol Passo recommendations, by the way, hit me up on Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. I'll be out and about and no pass on tomorrow night. Maybe I'll see some of you at a bar.
