Speaker 1

You are entering the freedom hunt. Get ready for MAGA twenty twenty. My friends, President Trump is officially launching his reelection campaign down in Orlando, Florida. Tonight, huge rally plan going to be a ton of energy, enthusiasm, and Trumpiness on display. Also, the President claiming that he will start the deportation of millions of illegals next week has Democrats on edge. Could this be the turning point in the immigration fight? We got that more coming up on the

buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Mag Noo, mistake American, You're a great American? Again the buck Sexton Show begins. Remember the animated meeting. No, welcome to the Buck Sexon Show. Everybody like so much

for being a man. It's gonna be a big night in Orlando, which is exciting for certainly all the folks in orlandon I'll be I'll be watching tonight as as I can, maybe not live, but I'll be watching the entirety of the rallies. I can bring you all the latest and greatest on it tomorrow. Man, this is Trump in his element. You know the Trump is not going to be able to he can he cannot be denied, he cannot be contained, cannot be stopped. He is gonna

be on fire, my friends. And this is going to be a reminder or two so many who have seen a president who's focused on doing the job, who is still trying to gain background that was was lost and deal with with all the damaging nonsense of the Muller probe, you know, I mean, he's trying to trying to get a a momentum going here again. But man, tonight, I think it's gonna be fantastic. And you've got so many

people who were already gathered. I saw all this footage of folks who were in a they were I think they were intense or they had certainly had a lot of umbrellasock just pouring rain and they were waiting a day in advanced Mike, did you see some of this? I mean, people really want to they really want to see this Trump rally. That's pretty amazing stuff. So I

wish I was. I wish I was there as as a journalist, and as I'm not a journalist, you know what I mean, whatever, as a media person, whatever, whatever, My people ask me this, what's your job? Said, Well, I'm I'm a radio host, but it's I do a lot of things. I don't really think journalists weren't on them, but I do wish that I was. I was able to be there live and just sort of see how this goes. But I've got responsibilities up here in the swamp.

I gotta try to keep the country from collapsing, you know, And I've just got some things I gotta do as one does. But we'll see what the Trump has in store for us tonight and as we go on the here, I know there's a lot of a lot of excitement in the air about the prospect of Trump finally getting out there and making his case the American people. Remember, it wasn't Trump's ground game or the RNC apparatus around him. It wasn't that there was some campaign staff that was

writing great speeches or whatever. I mean. Trump managed to pull off something that must be described as a political miracle, and he carried most of the load on his own shoulders. And it was his own political skill, his own energy, his own messaging that managed to beat a Hillary campaign that was all but as short of victory at least that's what we were told. So I am very much looking forward to the Trump moments to night. I might even go over to the Trump Hotel for a little bit.

That's right, the emoluments clause. Oh no, well, I'm not a foreigners. It's okay. I can spend money at the Trump Hotel. I don't think that I can tell the president what to do because I go over there and have a scotch. Actually, I'm not gonna have a scotch. I'll tell you, I'm gonna have some mescal. It's my favorite. It's really what I'm into these days. Maybe sometimes to

kill up at mescal. I've been drinking gin and Tonics lately too, which I can tell you sometimes it makes me feel like a like a very established lady, like, oh git a tonics? I feel. I always think the gin and tonics are what would ladies who'd lunch in Joe Joe would be drinking. But maybe maybe am I think of a mint Julip. I'm probably confusing with him in Julip. But gin and tonics are good, you know,

G and T. Why not? But the big issue that looms behind all this, you're like, okay, bucks, So there's gonna be a rally tonight. That'll be fun. What do we really have to look for here? One the President is going to be saying, stay the course on China, to stay the course on teris Mother. We're gonna have Michael Pillsbury, the author of the Hundred Year Marathon, the book that I've read and told you all that is

worth reading. He's gonna join us later on to give us a sense where where he thinks us China strategy is well. A nice fulsome robust conversation with Michael Pillsbury. I'm looking forward to that, and that's certainly going to be part of what Trump talks about. And he's gonna take some bows on the economy, as he should. The economy is really good. I was. I was on Tucker's show, not to pardon me. I'll be on Tucker's show, I think tonight. So if you get a chance, you can

tune in around the eight eastern hour. Should be on Tucker's show for a little bit. I live five minutes from the Fox News studios. I can pop in and out. Believe it or not, it's pretty pretty easy. But I should be on Tucker Show tonight. Ale though, it's rolling coverage, and they're gonna have you know they got Unfortunately, if they're about to put me on air, and then the leader of the free world, the President United States, takes the stage, I will get bumped. So that may happen.

It's one of the one of the pitfall of the media business that I'm in here is that you know, when the President United States is speaking, nobody cares what you have to say. Bucks, So you got to just step aside and be quiet. But no, I think I should be on Tucker Show. I was on Shannon Show last night and some guy Democrat strategist person was trying to make the case the economy is not good. I just kind of had to laugh. Are we we're really

doing this? We're really going to do this? Well? The polling shows that people feel a day that there that their bills are higher and their in cub is lower. And I'm like, Okay, well, there's what people maybe kind of think in some places according to some poll. And then there's the cold hard facts. And here's what the cold hard facts tell us. The economy is doing very well.

Unemployment is incredibly low. Black and Hispanic unemployment at historic lows, the stock market is strong, which is they was going, Oh it's the fatcats the billionaire. Stock marking on the stock market is an indicator of company profits and companies higher people. Stock markets indicator of how pension plans are doing and whether they'll be able to meet the obligations, and whether, you know, the snock markets a lot more

than just you know where I've got. You know, my ship has come in and I've got the market beat. But your pants are too tight in the seats. Remember that guy from Caddy Shacks? Some mean you know what I'm talking about? I know, Yeah, Judge, what was Judge? What's his name? Judge? I know his real name in real life? I can't. It's t Night Judge, Yeah, Ted Knight, was it? Judge smiles. I think, yeah, I think that's it. Judge smiles. Okuy bush Wood, sir, you will never join

bush Woods. Not while I remember here he's he was great Caddy Shack really holds up. Good movie. Uh so Trump has to deal with the economy. But anyway, so there's this Democrats status guy sit next me on a Shannon Show and he's all, you know, yeah, this is that. Look, he's got a tough job. I'm not gonna lie try to say. My favorite though, is where they go, yes, the aspects of the economy that are strong thanks to Obama,

but the bad things or thanks to trouble. I'm like, oh, okay, So now we're gonna try to parse three years after Obama leaves off, is what parts of the economy that are good, that are Obama? You know, Obama's taking credit for versus we all know if the economy did what they all said it was gonna do when Trump took office, it would all be the Sorry, I just whacked the microphone by accident. I got so excited. I hate when I do that. It would all be the Trump economy.

They would they would hang it all around Trump's neck if it was. But because it's going into well, they go, let's seacondomy. No it's not. It's ridiculous. But the big issue and the one we're gonna dive into here for a few minutes, and then we'll talk about just the general atmospherics going into night and Biden and I thought about having a bunch of people from the you know, the RNC or the campaign or something. I don't know. I'd rather talk to you. I've got thoughts. This is

the freedom hunt. I reigned supreme in here. I'm not really I don't feel the need to have some spokesperson from such and such Republican whatever come on, because they're just gonna tell you stuff that you already know. But the big issue is immigration right now, because Trump said starting next week, there could be well he said there

will be even so there could be deportations starting. And he said the millions of people who are here illegally, they're finally gonna be held to account for breaking the law. And these deportations and the whole situation could, let's just say, create a frenzy, a complete freak out among Democrats. This is going to call their bluff on caring about border security. Well, let's take a moment here. Get ready for the fact that Trump tonight is you know, everyone, kickback, relax, let

the good times role. Trump's gonna be given his speech tonight in Orlando. It's gonna be fantastic. Let's now look more at what he meant by immigration will be enforced. There will be the deport of millions of illegals that

are in this country starting next week. Here's why, here's what I'll tell you whether that can actually happen and whether this is going to have the intended effect, I will tell you all of that, though in just a moment US foreign assistance to the Northern Triangle countries of Elsavador, Guatemala, and Honduras. We will not provide new funds for programs in those countries until we are satisfied the Northern Triangle governments are taking concrete actions to reduce the number of

illegal migrants coming to the US border. Working with Congress, we will reprogram those funds to other priorities as appropriate. This is consistent with the Presidence direction and with the recognition that it is critical that there be sufficient political will in these countries to address the problem at its source. As Secretary Pompeio has said, these nations have the responsibility to take care of the immigration problems in their home country.

Why is it such a shock to the Libs that the United States government now is going to pull back funds from countries that are not doing their part in helping US deal with the immigration crisis. You know, they say, oh, this is gonna make it worse for those countries. Well, no, this is what you do when someone does not uphold

their under the bargain. You know, the way the Libs structure this debate or structure this this argument, it's it'll be like if I said, okay, well, I'm I'm going to the bakery and I'm gonna go buy a loaf for bread, and the baker says to me, oh, I'm sorry, I'm actually not going to sell you a loaf for bread because I don't want to. And then I say, okay, well,

I'm not going to give you money anymore. And then all of a sudden, you see all these news stories, Oh my gosh, the bakery is gonna have to close and it's gonna be terrible, and you know all this stuff, and well, yeah, but they also could just do what they're supposed to do and then and then the money's on again. But it's not supposed to be just you know, open ended, and we're supposed to give these places a

blank check. We're giving them foreign aid. When we ask them to help us out on something that's reasonable, which they totally can do, then they should do it. But you see, this is this is the the I don't know, the common sense based brilliance of the Trump approach to things, which is, what would a normal person do if face with this problem. Let's do that thing in government circles and when you're especially when you start talking about libs.

But never mind that even just in federal bureaucracies and the oh my gosh, the State Department. What do you mean you're going to take a common sense approach to this. There's nuances, there's equities, there's things you have to take into account here. Okay, fine, we're the United States. We're giving them money. We don't we're giving them taxpayer dollars. We don't have to do this, you know, not every country just gives other country free money because they feel

like being good people. We do this, and then, of course where we're told that we're the bad guys, right, libs and by people in different countries that are taking the money. But we're gonna have some of this be contingent on a little more cooperation. It does seem like now there's a greater attention pay to this than it was before, and Trump should get credit for that. The Trump administration has gotten really serious about dealing this problem,

which brings me now to the deportations question. This, my friends, I've been calling it from the beginning, and you know that if you've been listening to this show, when their Libs are really going to freak out is when you have aggressive efforts to track down those who are in the country illegally, but specifically, and I think there should be a prioritization on tracking down anyone who does not show for their immigration hearing, who has claimed asylum, people

who are scamming the system. Anyone who who is in that category should be told that they are no longer allowed to stay in the country. You're gone because they've abused the system. They're the country illegally. The whole agreement we have with them being here is when you're asked to show up to court to have your asylum claim adjudicated,

you have to go. If you're going to break that agreement, if you're going to break that promise that you're making the United States government when you're signing those documents and saying you're gonna show up, you have to go. Libs are going to lose their minds over this, and they'll show us. We will see that the Libs do not in fact want immigration law to be enforced. They do not believe that the laws mean what they say. They think there's some other way we're supposed to interpret all this.

They think that the lawlessness of systematic, systematic fraud at southern border should not be confronted. But Trump is right, make this a priority. Make those who have violated immigration laws and come to this country. You don't make them understand that if you try to defraud our system and take advantage. And that's really what one of the things that bothers me so much about this, because people are taking advantage of the good will of the American people.

To pretend to be an asylum seeker when you're really just an economic migrant is like someone pretending to have, you know, a cup in their hand on the street because they say they're starving to death and they need food, but really they're going to use that money to pay down their credit card bill. I'm not saying that that you know that that I can't understand or sympathize with

the need to pay down their credit card bill. But if you're telling me it's for food or else they're going to starve, that's a different that's a different level of severity, and that's playing on my concern for my fellow human beings. Asylum is about that. It's about if you are in a country that has turned on you or the government attorney for whatever reason, we will give you safe harbor here. It's not I don't like my

country because it's poor and dysfunctional. If that were the case, we'd have to take hundreds of millions of people into this country, no questions asked, completely change what America is and who are Americans overnight really, I mean, over a very short period of time. If it was just if you're poor, you don't want to be in your country. You want to come here and go for it. And

that's what has happened. For countries in walking distance of America that are not Mexico, not really walking distance, but where you can get here via ground transport, they're abusing our system. And Trump is saying enough is enough. I have been saying all along that as soon you know, because they were playing games six months ago, all these libs they're not illegal, they're seeking asylum. They're jitimate asylum seekers. Like we're all idiots, right, we know they're not legitimate

asylum seekers. We know they have no intention of showing up, but until they didn't show up. We had to play okay, well maybe some of them will, and we got to you know, get their due process, even though it's all taxpayer funded, and this is not what the system is supposed to be doing. Now we're gonna see the Libs just do what they always do, which is a band in the principles that they pretended to have. The storyline a few months ago, even was they deserve their due process.

They're gonna show up. You can't. You can't tell us with certainty that they won't show up. And this was a way of taking some of the heat out of the moment when the American people were finally focused on the massive and systematic fraud that was occurring at our border. They said, oh no, they're gonna show up. They're not committing fraud. Well, they are breaking the love by being here, but they're not committing fraud. Beyond that, yes they are.

Ninety percent of them are not showing up. Ninety percent of them. This was the am all along. And Trump is going to hold them to account. And you're going to see democrats, and I think most importantly, you're going to see a lot of the American people seeing democrats unwilling to enforce our laws after they assured us that when it comes to rule of law and immigration they're on the same page. They just want to do it humanely. But they're on the same page. Bull, They're not on

the same page. Their plan is to continue this lawlessness and that eventually get through a massive amnesty that transforms America into a one party Democrat controlled state. More on all this, friends, coming up in a moment. WHOA, we're rocking in the hut. I'll be right back during joy. I know you're one of the winds to think of snaive, just think we have to work together. The fact of the matter is that we can't get a consensus. Nothing happens except the abuse of power by the executive zero

number one, number two. There are certain things where it just takes a brass knuckle fight. There's no way to do it. And so folks, look, if you start off with the notion there's nothing you can do, well, might y'all go home, then, man or let's start a real physical revolution if you're talking about it, because we have to be able to change what we're doing within our system. Biden there with a Biden is m let's start a real physical revolution. If you're talking about it, what does

what does that mean? I'm not going to pretend that I think Biden is calling for an overthrow of the government. But what is a physical revolution? Is that spinning around in place real fast? It's physical and you're revolving. What is a physical revolution? That's what he said. Look, I'm just going based on what the bidenator is putting out there. I'm just trying to tell you that Biden is a guy who the Democrats are going to find out the

hard way that he's not there man. Eventually, it's not going to work if they think that Biden's going to pull them through, but pull through for them, it's just not going to happen. I think that I'd even go as far as to say that Buddha Judge is a better candidate for the left than Biden. You know, here's we have Mayor Pete's husband, Chasen. Buddha Judge was talking about how he receives all this hateful stuff. Play clip eight.

I wish I could stand here and tell you that all of the responses to my husband running for president have either been positive or that the criticisms have simply been about his policy decisions. I wish I could tell you that every voicemail, email, social media message and text I receive isn't hateful, bigoted, or homophobic. I wish I could tell you that the world has unequivocally accepted Peter and I and our marriage. But I can't, and that's

why we launch. You know, look, I think anybody that writes mayor Pete's husband nasty, you know, bigoted stuff is a more on so and people shouldn't do that. They shouldn't do that to anybody. But I also just wouldn't know that the media, I'm seeing more and more of this of how oh the people who get attacked on then left, these democrats being attacked by biggot ways and hateful ways. Man, this is just there are complete lunatics

run around on social media all over the place. Doesn't matter who you are, if you're making a public case, they're saying horrible things to you. Horrible. You should see what they say to some of my friends who are Second Amendment advocates of people like Daniel lash who I used to work with. They hate the people threatened to go after her children and just the most horror I can't even say something. Most horrific stuff imaginable set them

all the time. But because if you're a Republican and people are threatening your family and they're saying they're gonna kill you and they're sailors, terrible stuff, the media just has no interest in it. But if you're in a protected class and you're a Democrat, then we're all supposed to say, oh my gosh, look at how course and terrible the country has become. There are a lot of course bad people out there. Doesn't excuse any of it.

And you know, if I had my way, and anybody that goes after may or Pete or or his husband for their for their sexual you know, their sexuality, for their marriage or anything else, should should be told that they're you know, terrible. It's a terrible thing to do, and they're jerks and um. But there's always this double standard. It reminds me of how we remember used to hear all the time about all the threats against Obama when he was president. You always here, ah, there's this huge

surgeon threats against Obama. That there's threats against Trump all the time. You never you'd never hear about any of them. You never hear about this at all, you know, they just skip right. Or the threats against people that are that support Trump. This is it's just another instance of the double standard and the way that rules are applied any in an unequal fashion by the press, and the rules about you know, decorum and decency in public discourse,

they should be universally true. I mean, people shouldn't act like total savages is toward anybody in politics, toward anybody for their sexual orientation or their skin color, anything else, or forge you they're idiots all over the place. But you really are only told you have to be sympathetic when the target of some idiot is a Democrat. You know, when the target of somebodia is a Democrat. So get

ready for a lot more of that. There'll be no sympathy from the media for anybody in Trump world who is the target of death threats or horrible things, or you know, their family has yelled at or someone spits on them. But any Democrat in this election that you hear bad things about, or that you hear bad things have been said to threatened all this and it's gonna be a national news story. So even though the left

is where most of the crazy resides. They're gonna make it seem like the right is where all the hate resides. And to find your nominee winning Georgia and North Carolina, South Carolina, believe it or not. And I believe we can win Texas in Florida. If you look at the polling data now, doesn't mean it's a marathon. It's a

long way off. Joe Biden, everybody having his big moment here before even launched his campaign, all that one in tonight, Biden gets to say whatever he wants, promote, whatever nonsense he wants to promote about how he's going to be a great fighter, and you know all that, and you know, Biden is a week candidate, folks, always has been, always will be. Biden is a week candidate. And the Democrats are in a secret panic. I don't care what the

polls say right now. The polls mean nothing. You go back, you know Mondale was Mondale was up in his poll, and you know there's all these different all these different people that are you go back in history who lost the election, been huge numbers. But at this point, eighteen months out from from actual voting, we're ahead it means nothing.

So people are Oh, but Bidens are in the polls. Yeah, it's because the media runs around saying, you know that this is necessary for the salvation of our democracy, and people hear that enough and there's no real counter narrative that they're exposed to, and maybe some of them start to believe it. So that's understandable. But Biden's a one percent guy. And once Trump opens up at Canna, you know what on this guy, I think I can say whoop ass on radio? Right, isn't that hell? Yeah? Yeah,

I can say whoop ass right. It's a fun thing to say. Once Biden opens up. I'm sorry, Trump opens up on this guy, You're gonna see that he's just he just doesn't have it. You know, this stuff I've seen from Biden so far, he really looks like a guy who's just way past his prime. Age is not

the same for everybody I've been saying this. There are some people who are seventy who could kick my butt outrun me, and you know, do inverted pushups while they're making fun of me for being lazy and spending too much time prepping for radio and not in the gym. There are other seventy year olds who you know, look like mobility is a real problem, and it's not clear you know how how many healthy year they have left.

I mean there's a huge gap. You know, seventy isn't just seventy or you know, I know they're both right around that age. Biden looks old to me, sounds I don't mean it looks as just appearance wise, well that's a part of it, but I mean he lacks energy, low energy. Biden's gonna be a thing you hear from from Trump, because it's true. The more people see Biden like he's out there now and he's saying he's gonna

he's gonna win Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina. I was just waiting from the du the Howard Dean, remember that producer Mike, Do you remember that when he made that noise and then that was the he sounded insane. He managed to audio self immolate in one in one moment, it just happened. Every everyone saw all that, and they're gonna, there's Bays and that Blays and there's Bud. You know, he made this bizarre noise and everyone's like, good god, man,

where do they find this person? Yeah, you know what if you if you have this, could you find this real quick? If you could. I want to find a screech for us, because that's a fun just just a little trip down memory lane for everybody. Joe Biden's not gonna win Texas. Oh you mean that they can spend millions and millions and millions of dollars and celebrity endorsements and throw all the media coverage they can at Texas and lose. Again, Great, that's what they'll do, and they'll lose.

Although if amnesty happens, maybe they will. But that's if Ambassy happens, the country as we know it is over. It becomes a different country. So that's part of why it's so important that we have the immigration discussion that we are having right now. But look, Biden's out there, he's trying to be the front runner, and you know, Bernie's right behind him. I would much rather, I'm just gonna tell you this, I'd much rather see a Bernie Trump race. I think that's a more interesting just as

a political event. I think that's a more interesting race. I think that the discussions I want them to be out in the open eye. I don't like that Democrats are able to get away with this, Oh we're not really the Democratic Socialist Party or all. You know, No, sorry, you are. And I want them to have to own it. And Bernie for all of his flaws and all of the ways that I think that he's dangerous and bad

for the country. At least Bernie does own that, you know, he doesn't run away from that like a little coward. He says that he is a Democratic Socialist. And then you have all these Democrats who are clinging on to Bernie policies. They agree with him on everything. They want to be like Bernie. They want to be more like Bernie. I don't know if I want to be like Mike. I want to you guys remember that commercial Michael Jordan back.

Yeah that was awesome. Oh yeah you remember, all right? Yeah, yeah, they want to be like I really, man, I've I've had some nineties nostalgia going on lately. The nineties were the best. Nineties were a great time. So there we have it. Uh. Biden was talking about Obamacare a little bit here and and trying to give his pitch the American people about what might have been or what could have been different on that one here here's what but I remember these are you're just getting snippets of who

is Joe Biden. He went through eight years of being the guy that was Obama's wingman. That was really all we were. I guess tactically Eric Holder thought he was Obama's wing man. But you get what I'm saying, eight years of Biden getting to play the VP role. Here's what Biden really thinks, and here's who he is. You're getting it. You're getting a sense of it now too. This is what they're doing a healthcare this is what

they're doing too. You have to go out and beat these folks if you don't, if they don't agree with you, by making your case, and that's what presidents are supposed to do, persuade the public. Last point I'll make remember with the Affordable Care Act, because everything landed on President Obama's desk, but locust at the time, he had no time to explain the Affordable Care Act. Once it got started taken away, all of a sudden, we have what we call in southern delawaed an older call from all

those boys. I'm older call saying, oh my god, I'm for healthcare. I don't want to take away pre exist conditions, I don't, I want to make sure, etc. And so you go out and you beat them. Obama had no time to explain healthcare. I mean, Obama was out talking about healthcare for months and months and months and months. The bill was thousands of pages long, folks, How is he going to explain thousands of pages? It was never

gonna happen. It was thousands of pages on purpose, just like the tax code is seventy thousand pages, so that nobody knowns was in it. Nancy Pelosi told us that they needed to pass it to know what's in it. They weren't even sure what the law would look like. Once it became the law, it was rammed through without a single Republican vote. And now they're rerunning the history

of how we got to Obamacare. Now that the pre existing conditions that's I mean, Republicans, you know how you allow Democrats to seize the high ground on the preexisting conditions thing, which and and don't go out there telling everybody that true prexisting conditions is less than one percent of the healthcare market. People with true not the way that the healthcare system is actually you know, people, I

know the stories. I had a friend who you know, they wouldn't take as tonsils out because they thought it was from an infection that happened ten years before with a different healthcare company. I mean, I know the insurers play games and nonsense, but if we're talking true predisting condition, that would put somebody outside the normal healthcare, normal health insurance market, because you're not somebody that they're assessing healthcare risk for anymore. You are a health care ris because

you're gonna need a lot of healthcare dollars spent. It's different. It's less than one percent of the market. So why not just if they if the Republicans have gone to American people said, look, insurance is for catastrophe, and if you have a true predising condition, you've already been hit essentially by a health catastrophe of some kind or at

least a major health challenge. And we should have a set aside where if you get pushed out of the healthcare market entirely for a legitimate presising condition, there should be funds in place to help that person. Because we are a passion and good people and we want to take care of each other. You know that that would have been not that hard to do, but Republicans didn't do it. Didn't do it. Look, folks, we're probably can parties, got a lot of problems, a lot of big pharmer

dollars swishing around. Pharmaceutical companies do get away. I was gonna say, get away with murder, but that's that's hits a little too close to home in the era of the opioid epidemic. But you know, they get away with all kinds of stuff, and you know, they abuse patent laws to their advantage. And there's a lot, there's a lot that needs to be cleaned up. On the medical side, though, it didn't get me started on the amount of unnecessary

surgery that happens in this country. I was talking to a friend recently, a very skilled, top, top tier cardiothoracic surgeon, and she said that the amount of unnecessary surgery that's done in this country, when you really read the studies, will blow people's minds. But it's big business, huge, huge industry, you know. I mean, here's just one example. You know that appendicity. We always have our pendics taken out in

this country. If you have a really bad appendicitis your you know, the word, your pendics is going to burst. In Europe, they just treat it with an intravenous antibiotics and the outcomes are just as good, if not better. We got a lot of people though, they up up. It's an easy surgery, take out your appendix, and that's a little tiny one. Once you start looking at surgeries for uh, you know, dealing with different vein conditions and

different blood, different issues of the cardiovascular system. Oh man, there's a lot of that. But you know, this is if we wanted to have a real conversation about healthcare, that will be one thing. But Biden just wants to boil this all down to, oh, it's about preexisting conditions. Obamacare was a whole heck of a lot more than that, my friends. It was a lot of taxes, there was a lot of redistribution of wealth, a lot of government overreach.

But if it just turns into the regius, I mean, it just turns into a prexisting conditions, it's very popular for people. Will they will they want prexisting conditions covered. You know, this is not an area where the American people want to turn their back on each other. So yeah, he's able to he's able to get away with it, folks, he's gonna you know, if Trump says we're gonna have a healthcare plan the next few months. Can I be a little critical here, my friends? Why why don't they

already have a healthcare plan? Why haven't the Republicans had eight years of sang Obama's plans terrible, We couldn't repeal in a place, and now we got away three months for a healthcare plan? I mean, can we try to hold our side a little bit more accountable sometimes? I mean, yeah, the Democrats are a bunch of crazy, baby killing commies, I get it. But can we do something to get our side to be a little more effective? I think that would be nice. I think that would be helpful.

You know. Otherwise, you know, maybe Joe Biden can win some of these southern states. I hope it's I will say this though on a on a good note, I do hope that it's Biden, because Biden Biden is not gonna really get it done. Biden won't be able to be Trump. I'm very confident in that. Bernie, as crazy as it sounds, worries me more than Trump does. I'm sorry, then Biden does Bernie worries me more because you could see people believing that Bernie is an agent of change.

I'm not saying this is true. I'm just saying that perception could be there an agent of change, not beholden to special interests, not personally odious the way Hillary Clinton was, and has ideas that he pushes for people that seem on their you know, on first glance, like they're going to be popular their good idea. So I do have my concerns about about the burn. I still think Trump wins, but with Biden. I mean, I would put money on

Trump beating Biden. I have no worries about that the United States is running concentration camps on our southern border, and that is exactly what they are. The fact that concentration camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free is extraordinarily disturbing. Ocasio Cortez saying that

concentration camps are operating on our southern border. She also referred to never again in a I believe in a tweet about this, and this caused some problems for the left wing Democrat Darling because it's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard, and she should know better, but

she doesn't, and that's troubling on many levels. By way of review, the concentration camps she was referring to, or the Nazi concentration camps, the Nazi concentration camps involved the wholesale slaughter and attempted mass extermination of six million Jews eleven million human beings, including I believe two million Polls, a million Gypsies, eleven million in those death camps, six million Jews of that number gassed, executed, starved, scientifically experimented on.

I mean, just the most horrific stuff imaginable, a crime for which humanity will never fully pay a penance. I mean, it's just it's it can never be made right what happened. And she's comparing that to what is happening right now in this country. And she said, that's exactly what they are. She didn't say, I'm making an exaggerated point, or I'm trying to draw attention to one aspect of this she referred to. With concentration camps referred to. Never forget, we

all know what she was talking about. This isn't a dog whistle, This is just a whistle. It's obvious and art. Del Queto pointed out that of boarder Patrol said that this is just a terror horrible Why a horrible thing to say? Play seven. It's disgusting to compare concentration camps to what the men and women are doing here protecting our country. I mean, in my eyes, honestly, you lose credibility.

I've had it, you know, up to here with all these individuals constantly trying to compare concentration cramps to what we're doing. I was just at one of the detention facilities. The kids were outside their cell because we have so many of them. They were out on the floor, playing puzzles, they were watching movies, eating cookies and what have you. And it is definitely a slap in the face to a lot of these individuals that have family members that

actually went through concentration camps. I've said it many times, some of these people need to crack open a history book before they make some comments. They do need to

crack open a history book. On the left, although I think that there's no shortage of people of left, it's here who just they don't care about the false the falsehood that they spread as long as it is politically useful to them as long as this is something that they can use as a short term cudgel against their peers or against their political opposition, I should say that's

what they're trying to do. And you know, I've got to tell you the blue checks who were rushing to defend this today, we're just an embarrassment, including Chris Hayes of MSNBC, Julia Yaffi is some left wing journals and there they're a whole bunch of them who should just be ashamed of what is a completely bizarre and dishonest attempt to try and make this sound like it was something other than what it was. That AOC wasn't really

referring to, wasn't really referring to Nazi concentration camps. Concentration camps existed before the Nazis. Does anyone think that Okazi Cortez was referring to the concentration camps in the Boer War in South Africa? No one really believes that, right? Oh? No, some do you had a lot? You had? Is some guy? Dave Weigel. Dave Weigel from a Washington Post, Chris Hayes, Julie Yaffi, Yaffi wrote, hi, actual Jew here who lost

dozens relatives in the Holocaust. Concentration camps predated the Holocaust, for example, the Soviets had them before the Nazis. And then she goes down and attacks some of the people that are attacking AOC that these people they just can't help the fact that they get so upset they make stupid. I mean, this is laughable. This is not a serious defense, right,

they don't really believe this despite everything else. I mean, you know, Chris Hayes, who is you know, he looks like the left wing Brooklyn liberal version of what an inner intellectual supposed to look like. But you know what he's done here is make himself look like a jackass to try to defend AOC, try to defend AOC and say that this is somehow not the dumbest things in a long time. But it's a joke. I mean, he's ridiculous in doing so by trying to make this anything

other than what it is, which is AOC. Comparing this to Nazis, you're just being intellectually dishonest to try and cover for her, And that is what is going on. That's what's happening here. You know, you've got people saying that, you know, concentration camps is an accurate term to use here. Those people are morons. The kids that are being held in these detention facilities of the border, because I've been there and I've seen them too, are held for two

days max. In a vast majority of cases now their help, for two days. They are fed, they receive medical attention, they play with toys, they watch movies, and then they're sent on their way into the interior the United States. By the way, what an astonishing and just stunning series of lies that these people will embrace. I mean, it's just amazing, all to defend their precious AOC who's just an idiot. Yeah, I know she won a political election

that everyone's oh my gosh, it's amazing. I'm sorry, she's just not very smart. They can do whatever they want. They can yell at me and tell me that that's terrible and mama, let's say that. No, she's just not impressive. She's just a classic left wing talking points machine. Doesn't really know how the world works, is not thoughtful, can engage with the other side, and just believes idiocy about how society really functions, about how governance is done. All

of this. This, This is a woman who would be is deeply unimpressive before she runs for office and is still deeply unimpressive. I don't care how famous she has or everything else, but there's a sensitivity here because because she's young and Latino and female and super left wing, the left will do everything to defend her. There is nothing she can say that is too stupid, that is beyond their defense, including a clear reference to concentration camps.

By the way, Mike Hayden referred to a concentration camps for former CIA director, So I'm not AOC is not the only one to be an idiot on this, But not everybody on the left was rushing to Hayden's defense. In fact, most people were saying that that was over the line. But this gives you a real sense also of what the what the left really thinks of our

border patrol and immigrations enforcement. If if they're going to defend that these are concentration camps, so then our border patrol agents working at our southern border are they not? Are they concentrate camp guards? Is that a fair thing to say? Would they say that to a border patrol agent's face. I don't think so, especially you know, the Chris Hazes of the world. What is it with these the prototype of the left wing media mail is always

this kind of you know beta. You know, there's always these guys, you know, there's wearing skinny ties and walking around and talking about how they're male feminists and all this stuff. You know, what is that all about? That's maybe a conversation for another day. AOC sends something really really offensive and dumb, and that's not surprising. But what is amazing is just watching how many people on the left with big platforms will act like morons. The defender

freedom freedom, What does it mean to be free? Am I free if I graduate college with massive debt? Am I free? If I have cancer and cannot afford a three hundred thousand dollars life saving drug? Really free? If I'm seventy years old and forced to work because I don't have the money to retire. Am I free? If I'm denied food at school because I have lunched debt? This this isn't freedom. This isn't freedom. We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual

freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. Freedom is healthcare for all, college for all, jobs for all, white, black, brown, Asian, Indigenous, Latin X women, non binary, gay, street ritual or you and me demanding justice, economic justice, racial justice, environmental justice. Notice how that was put out. That was a commercial put up by the Bernie Sanders campaign that forwards the

root fallacy of democratic socialism for all to hear. And it is very open about it, very upfront about it, that it is the obligation of the state to provide for all of you or needs as determined by the state, and that is inclusive of taking from you and from me at the state's whim to provide for people under this obligation. This is the this is the fundamental problem, the root fallacy of what you could, I guess call Sandersism, which is now in the democratic socialism that is increasingly

embraced by the left, by the Democratic Party. Are you free if you don't have a job, a home, a you know, the doctors that you want to see? If you have to work eighty hours a week to buy all these is are you free if you have to do all those things? Well, what does freedom mean to the left if freedom is only possible with a state providing for you. Then that means that the state is able to give you freedom, and absent the state, there is no freedom. That's a I think that's a that's

a troubling concept. But also they never figure into all of this. And this is why, you know, people are saying that they like Medicare for all, and I've seen the statistics on this, and this is not This is not surprising people like Medicare for all because Medicare is free stuff that you're told you paid for, but it's not true. Most people take out twice what they put it.

Medicare is the magic piggy bank that you put a hundred dollars in and then you take out two hundred dollars and just say, oh, well I paid for that. No you didn't, you just didn't. I mean, this is the truth. Overwhelmingly, people end up taking out more Medicaid than they put they put into it. So it's a nice idea. People like Medicare for obvious reasons. And you know, Medicaid just pays that a fraction of what Medicare, you know, reimbursement rates are and that's why a lot of doctors

won't take Medicaid and we get it. Everyone wants someone else to pay for their healthcare. This is really the problem. And even those of us with private health insurance, we like this, this this idea that you can pay twenty dollars as a copan and see any doctor you want. You know, I haven't had that in a long time. I mean I end up just writing checks to doctors now all the time. I have health insurance, and it's

it doesn't feel like insurance. I don't know. Maybe if something catastrophic happened, heaven forbid, But in terms of the day to day expense, you got to pay for a lot of things. But people like Medicare because well one, it's accepted by a lot of doctors. But they also don't realize that Medicare for all, for all ages and all people, even if that were just an option, would mean that you would have changes to your healthcare plan. They don't understand. It's not just someone else is going

to pay for stuff. You wouldn't be able to keep your private health insurance. If Medicare for All becomes the norm, every business would say no, no no, I'm not going to provide healthcare for you. Go go get your Medicare for all, go go hook go hook yourself up with that. I mean, how many of you listening to this show right now, who have your own private health insurance, how many of you would willingly switch to an Obamacare plan. I think the answer is probably zero, unless you happen to have

a really bad private health insurance. But I don't even know how it could be worse than whatever the Obamacare plan is, because you know, you know, there's these basic truths keep coming back. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Bernie Sanders is promising you a free lunch. In fact, in this video he's saying, or rather his campaign is promoted, the idea that you deserve to have a free actual lunch. You should not have to pay for lunch at school. You should not have to worry

about your home expenses and paying your bills. And look, economic anxieties real for everybody. I have economic anxiety. You have economic anxiety. But I have no faith whatsoever that the state is ever going to be in a position to make my economic anxiety go away. In fact, I think the state makes it a whole lot worse by taking a lot of my money and taxes and promising to give me services that never materialize and services that

I would never want to rely on. But freedom. And you know, we discuss often here in the Hut the way the left tries to control language, and how it's so necessary for their political program to change the way we use, the way we define different words, the way we use different words. And to say that freedom is the state's obligation to provide you with material goods is a perversion of freedom. That's not true. The state does not have this obligation. It's not up to the state

to give you the home that you find acceptable. And what is even an acceptable home? When when has my freedom been achieved? Do I have to work to achieve this freedom? Or does the state just give me whatever? It's whatever I think it needs to give me. These are all very real questions that I think the Sandernistas they never wrestle with it. They never deal with the reality of what their ideology would do to this country.

And that economic freedom is inextricably linked to social justice, and social justice means racial and gender justice as well, and the state then determining what people can get paid, how much they should get paid, who they should hire on what basis they should make hiring decisions. This is how you get closer and closer to a truly socialist system, all in the name of providing you with freedom. That's what is so disturbing about this is that they are

there telling you. Bernie Sanders campaign is promising you that you will be made more free if you just allow the state to take away your freedom's I know that that it is self contradictory, that's the point. It is self contradictory, but that is their platform. Give up your freedom and we will make you free. This is what the Soviets promised. I'm saying that we're the Soviet Union, but just this is what the Soviet constitution promised. You're going to have a house to live in, a job

to do, food to eat. You know, no problem, We're two weeks vacation and all kinds of good stuff. And the Soviet Constitution never happened. Why did it happen Because they had a bad economic system with central planning, with corruption, with bureaucrats making economic decisions who had no idea what they were doing. That's why it didn't happen. It was never gonna happen, not the way they said it was but there were a lot of promises made, There were a lot of overtures about how there would be a

worker's paradise. Bernie's campaign here is telling you that if you just had Bernie Sanders in charge, this is a form of utopianism. They're going to provide for all your needs. You're not going to work eighty hours to buy food. You're not gonna have trouble paying for your insulin for you to survive. You're not gonna They can't. He couldn't do this even if he was president. That's what you have to remember. It's not even just a function of

whether this is a good idea to try. It's that the government couldn't execute on this if it wanted to, it just wouldn't happen. So this is all ultimately a lie. But it's a lie that we never seem to be able to get past. We never seem to learn the lesson, at least the left never learns the lesson in this

country that socialism is not a good idea. It's been our mission since the beginning of this administration to convince the Iranian regime not to move forward with their nuclear program and not to continue to engage in development of their missiles and all the other activities, the malign activities that they've been engaged in around the world. That's why we put in place the pressure campaign that's now been

ongoing for a year and a couple of months. It's been very effective, and now we need to make sure that we continue to do that so that we ultimately get the opportunity to convince Iran that it's not in their best interests to behave in this way. We all have to remember this isn't just two and a half years or five years. This is forty years of a reigning activity that has led us to this point, this moment right here, communicating to Iran that we are there

to deter aggression. President Trump does not want war, and we will continue to communicate that message wall doing the things that are necessary to protect American interests in the region.

Secretary of State Pompeo gave a press conference today. I watched it live and you heard a little snippet of it there on Iran, and I think he brought a very important context, a very important perspective to a lot of people right now that are one concerned, and those are the people that are taking a fair mind that

approached so this I can understand concern. But there are also those who see this and this is certainly trivil out of the media and the Democrats as the moment to start screaming about how Trump is a war monger, he wants war with Iran, and Pompeo said, definitively Trump

does not want war with Iran. And I can tell you that everyone that I know who either fought or assisted the war fighter in Iraq or Afghanistan, everyone that I've talked to, thinks that there is absolutely no way we should go to war in Iran, and that if we do take military action, it should be punitive and defensive in nature, which should not be an offensive regime

change effort at all. And that means no. Can you know, because now usure begetting well, well, what does a regime change if it looked like you know, you look at what happened in Iraq. It didn't start off with it, It It didn't start off necessarily. This is the second time we went in wasn't about an invasion. It was about a no fly zone, and it was about protecting and battled minorities and oil sanctions and all these different things, but we had military and we had military force in

place so that that framework would hold. I don't want us to go beyond where we already are in terms of military posturing or military positioning. I think that we have what we need to have, and the administration is trying to make it clear to Iran that unlike Trump's predecessor, when Trump says right, forget about Obama because everyone knew

it wasn't true. And that's why the Red That's why Obama's failure on the Red Line with Syria with the Asad dictatorship was so important because once Obama, in front of the whole world, had said, if Asad does anything, I will take action, you know, if he does anything with regard to chemical weapons, and then he did nothing. You know, that's you want talk about cozying up to dictators.

It certainly makes dictators feel a lot more cozy and at home, certainly helps them quite a bit, makes them feel like things are going to be more to their liking. And once that happened, then to say that all options were on the table was just clearly not the case with Trump. It's true. I've said before that Trump on foreign policy is a little bit like Doc holiday on

the shotgun in the movie Tombstone. Would they say that, you know, they want Doc to be on the street Howitzer essentially because he's just crazy enough that he might pull and use it pretty fast. And with Trump, that's that his foreign policy has had an off balancing effect for the bad guys. They're not used to somebody who will just call out their leadership and say that, you know, military action will follow any provocation. They're not used that.

They're used to a lot of boiler plate foreign policies speak and stuff that they the Irani regime can largely ignore. But what we see with Iran as they've been ignoring that for forty years. As Pompeo was pointing out, I mean this stretches back in nineteen seventy nine and the Islamic Revolution in Iran and the way that since then the relationship has just been one long series of deteriorations really,

and that it doesn't have to be this way. You know, we don't have to live in a world where there's an Iran that says that they're gonna enrich uranium so that it's very easy for them to go nuclear. We don't have to accept that. Here's what the News spoke spokesmen for a spokeswoman for the State Department, Morgan Ortega, says about how Iran could just choose to be a

normal country at play five. I think what we're seeing here is really a challenge not only in the JCPO way, but really a challenge to the international norms, a challenge to the international norms on freedom of navigation and freedom of disease. And so we would say to the international community that we should not yield to nuclear extortion by the Iranian regime. Look, we need to take a realistic view of these things. We can't just militarily tell China

or tell Russia, you know, do this or else. That's a very risky business. There are some countries that we have to do business with, some countries that sanctions won't work on at all. Iran is not one of them. Iran is not a very wealthy country, does not have a very large military. We don't have to accept an Iran that is constantly threatening and blackmailing the international community

with the claim that it will get nukes soon. We do not have to say that that is okay, or we don't have to accept that that is the status quo, and this administration, unlike previous presidencies, takes the position that that's not going to fly anymore. That doesn't mean that we go to war, doesn't mean that there's a regime change. It does mean that, you know, if the Iranians try to shut down the straight of war moves which would affect it's not just America, would affect oil for all

of East Asia. I mean, it's thirty percent of the world's twenty to thirty percent of the world's oil reserves are going through that one waterway every day. A lot of countries care about this, and if the Iranians step out of line, there should be massive consequences for them. But that's the way we should deal with the Iranians, not the Obama administration approach of let's just find a way to placate them, Let's make them want to be

our friends. They don't want to be our friends. The Mullahs, the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Guardian Council and all the real power in Iran, they don't want to be our friends. And we have to view them as people to be defeated. And that's what Trump does. We're talking about what we are doing now, and we are honoring our oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Congress has the right

to a seek information to honor its oversight responsibilities. We will not let him stand in the way of our honoring with the bodice. Nancy Pelosi still sticking to the whole. Oh, we're just doing oversight, man, This isn't We're not beat a bunch of political hacks or anything here. We're just just doing a little bit of oversight. You know. It's how it's how we get down, it's how we roll. We all know that this is highly, highly political, and it's really all about politics. It has nothing to do

with up holding constitution. There, We've already we already had a special counsel, We've already been through a two year long investigation that was unobstructed, that's right, that had so much at its disposal in terms of resources, and was led by anti Trump partisans. So what more could a sane person ask for? Well, perhaps I go too far. Perhaps I'm assuming that we are dealing with saying individuals,

and we quite obviously are not. But I think that the Democrats, and one of the reasons that they've been so so slow on all of this, on the impeachment train, even though I think I saw Polter that said that fifty percent of American voters, you know, think that Trump

should be impeached or something like that. But I think that Democrats maybe have started to realize is that going through this process again is, if nothing else, going to be a distraction from the messaging that the Democratic Party's trying to do on why they should why the American voters should go to a Democrat instead of Trump for reelection. And there's the concern of the blowback. The people that are saying things like Trump should be impeached, they don't.

They're not ones who necessarily understand that there'll be more investigations, more process, ask more of this, more of that. It's just going to be this endless saga of nonsense from Pelosi and the rest of her crew, and it's not going to end with anything with ending happening. I bet if you ask the people that are four impeachment of Trump, a big chunk of them, I couldn't tell you how many, but a big chunk of them think that impeachment means

he's no longer the president. A big group think that there's a real chance that if he's impeached, he could be removed from office by the Senate. That would be a fun man on the street thing, just to find people who want Trump impeach and then ask them, Okay, how does he get removed from office? Do you know

the process? I think you'd find that ninety percent of those who want Trump impeach probably couldn't tell you that it requires a two thirds vote in the Senate for him to be removed from office, and then their file off can be how many do you think Hillo will be president if he gets removed? How many do you think? What? How many of you think Hillary will be the named president if he's removed. I guarantee there's a whole bunch of think that, Oh for sure, Yeah, yeah, I think

that's very possible as well. They'll just they assume that this makes it all all right all over again. Remember this isn't a strange number at all. Fifty percent of voters. That's not the same as fifty percent of all Americans, fifty percent of voters, because in the last election, fifty percent of voters really was. I guess fifty one percent voted for Hillary Clinton. So yeah, if you voted for Hillary, you want Trump in peach because you're angry because you

didn't get your way. So this doesn't really mean anything. I think the Democrats, and you know, tonight is going to be the night when you see Trump being Trump again and starting to make the case. But I think that the Democrats are in for a route awakening. They've

had a pretty easy go of it for a while here. Yeah, Trump tweets at them and will tell them that they're you know, they're lazy or dumb or whatever, and he's right, but there hasn't been a concerted effort by Trump to tell the American people why they should vote for him again. That changes as of tonight, and Trump is a beast on the campaign trail. I mean, this guy gets people so fired up and does and has such amazing energy. I mean, for a guy his age too, to do

the things that he does is astounding. And that's why I think you know that the media, this is gonna be something you should you should keep an eye on. They are going to be caught flatfooted again because they've lived in this echo chamber of Trump is evil. Trump is bad. You know, he's not somebody that you can not somebody that anybody should listen to or trust, because he's worse than Hitler and all the stuff that the

media tells themselves. And then you have to also remember that they don't the media doesn't really understand what most people think. That's how you have Chris Matthews, Chris Magic. I say, it's just like, who is this guy and why is he on t V? Still? Who thinks that he's insightful or worth listening to on anything? Yeah, kids, Math, Yeah, you guys, young, young, bad man. It's just a it's horrible. I guess he's friends with the executives over at MSNBC

or something and they just gonna keep him there. And I mean, that's that's why TV is full of such it's such a nasty business and full of somebody generally very nasty, insecure people, because you can really put anybody at some of these places and someone will watch them. Yeah, kids, Math, it's good man. It's just just blather. It's just nonsense that comes out of Chris Matthew's mouth all the time.

But he was at a town hall and he was really taken aback by people saying, you know what, I actually kind of like how Trump does things, play ten getting Trump looks out for you. Absolutely he cares about you. Yeah, I think he's honest. I think I don't say anybody else want to agree or just sorry, you want to say what you think? I look at him, I go by faces by kind of docus. I think absolutely the President United States cares about all of us because he

provides opportunities. Look, there's three hundreds of million people in America. He doesn't make a relationship with every single one of us, but what he does do is create opportunities so then we can use our god given talents to go out and make a living in this country. And that's where we are today. Yeah. OK, that's actually a pretty I think it's a pretty astute observation from that random audience member that that is really what a lot of Trump

voters want. They just want a president who is not trying to mess with their life, is not trying to get in their way, tell them what to do all the time. Be a busybody. This is something that is unique to democrats, unique to leftists. They are busybodies. They are hall monitors. They want to be up in your stuff,

all of it, all the time. Do this, do that, do it this way, not that way, with whatever it may be, With what you can eat, with, what kind of light bulbs you can use, with how many toilet flushes you can get you can get away with with, you know, you name it. They are busybodies, and that's not good for business, and it's not good for the general mental well being of the American people. We'd like to be left alone. We like we left our own

devices as much as possible. We can't harm each other, and we have to honor our contracts, and we have to obey the law. That's pretty much it. Other than that, it should be a real light touch from the government, not absent entirely, not non existent. You know, we're not going for some libertarian paradise here, because it's never gonna happen. But it should be very, very gentle presence in the background. Instead, what we have now is a government standing behind you

all the time telling you do this or else. That's not good. That's not good at all. But I'm telling you now, the Democrat media apparatus, also known as the mainstream media. They have learned nothing. They have learned nothing since the last election about connecting with the American people. Will understand the American voter. They will be forwarding their own perceptions of how this will all work as much as they want, as long as they want, they're not

going to change at all. They're gonna say that, you know this, this is, oh what's really going to motivate people? As you know Trump's ethics and all the lies and Russia collusion. Meanwhile, those who are voting in Ohio and Pennsylvania, they don't care. They don't care. Why would they care about that. They know the media is hyperventilating, hyperventilating about all the time. They know that it doesn't it doesn't ever lead to anything where it's told, oh my gosh,

look what Trump has done. It's so awful. But it's really not as awful as they say it is. They're constantly exaggerating. There they cry wolf. We know that that is what happens. They cry wolf. So I think that Trump is obviously going to have a strong night. Genet, when are many of you here that you'll already have had a speech. I'm gonna be getting over to watch it as soon as I possibly can, but the Trumpster is bad action, folks, and the Democrats just don't have

anybody who can line up against them. They don't have anyone who brings the same, the same gusto, the same X factor. It just the ability that this president has to mobilize people around an idea and to make it fun and to make it compelling, and to keep the energy up. He is a political phenomenon. There's nobody else like him, and I was not somebody that right away saw it, and I've been seeing it now for a

long time in action. So that'll be a nice reminder for everyone too, those who voted for Trump and those who are thinking about voting for him again, who maybe you're on the fence for one reason or another, When they see this president doing his thing, I think that any doubts they have will be quickly wiped away. At least that's what I'm expecting. You are now entering the Freedom Operation Center all the program Smusky Caps strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared and ready for the

Buck Brief. United States wants to continue the conversations about structural changes regarding intellectual property theft and force technology transfers and market openings and tariffs. We're looking for an enforceable agreement as we always have. That's absolutely vital, So all of those general topics will be on the table. I think the market is saying better that they are talking than not talking. No results were guaranteed. I think people know that, but I think there's a certain joy that

they're text big stuff coming. When the administration sits down with the China at the G twenty President Trump meeting with Shiji and Ping. There's a lot of issues and people are starting to get a little bit of economic anxiety over just where all this trade war stuff is going. We've got somebody who can answer this and more tell us what's going on here. We have Michael Pillsbury with us,

Doctor Michael Pillsbury. He's the director of the Center for Chinese Strategy at the Hudson Institute and the author of the one hundred Year Marathon, which all of you know of because I've talked about it here on the show. I recommend it to you. We have the author with us now, doctor Pillsbury. Great to have you, sir, Hi there. Thanks Buck. All right, let's start with what should happen at the G twenty. I mean, what's critical going into this for the administration to you know, what should they

try to get it? What can they realistically get out of she if anything? Well, the talks broke down and the President was quite angry, and then both the comments to the press and also when tweets, he explained that

they just can't accept their reneaking. At the last minute, they had one hundred and fifty page draft President said, and it looked like he thought he was going to be able to get a deal and for some unfort reasons that are quite opaque and the topic I wanted to debate here in Washington, and the Chinese backed out. So the pessimists thought, this is the end of it. The Chinese are just not going to make a deal, and they already are behaving quite arrogantly, and though there

the dominant power in the world. So the president's effort over the last two weeks has been to get things back on track without himself making any concessions. So it looks like this phone call that he's talking about this morning in his tweet has really saved the day. The

talks are back in existence. At the minimum, the two teams will go back to work discussing the last ten percentages it sometimes referred to, which is a lot of it's the enforcement and the black in other ways is not just words to some kind of enforcement mechanism with the review process and possibly additional tariffs. So if the Osaka G twenty is like the Buenos Aires G twenty meeting December, first, there'll be a dinner or some kind

of a metal for two or three hours. The two presidents with their staff president will talk back and forth on outstabbing issue and then try to improve the area of agreement and get toward the final version. Let's see, that's an optimistic outlook now, because it looks like the Hawks in China have really asserted themselves and the president she isn't as fully in charge as we all sort of thought that the Hawks in China don't really want

an agreement. One of them came on the radio in Beijing just about a month ago saying he does not want any agreement with the Americans at all. So we're dealing with factions apparently in Beijing, in which one group, the so called reformers, actually want this kind of agreement because it will increase the power of the free market in China will reduce some of the subsidies, will probably

increase their growth rate. The other side, the kind of maoists, if you will, that's what they often call themselves, that they love cheer and bao. They want a much more state controlled economy. They love what they call the National Champions, these huge companies that are some of the largest companies in the world now, and the Communist Party basically being in all enterprises, so that even a foreign company in China has to have a Chinese Communist Party member to

observe everything. This is what the debatement going on in China for many, many decades. The whole thing the Chinese created the President Trump is dealing with was created back in the early nineteen eighties, this kind of predatory mercantilist system where these huge state of enterprises the Chinese called the National Champions, they would have not only subsidies, cheap loans, but also espionage collected trade secrets given to them to help them succeed. So this huge beast, if you wills,

what President Trump's been taking on. Previous presidents wouldn't do it. They were either defeatist or they didn't understand the problem. So Osaka in some sense could be a showdown that they talks restart, there's some momentum to them and the Chinese agree on enforcement mechanisms. How much How much pain are the Chinese? How much pain of the Chinese has been been taking to their economy because of the Trump

policy and the tariffs so far? And do you think that Trump has both the mindset and also sufficient leverage with his team to at least get a have a realistic shot of bringing the Chinese to some kind of deal. It's a great question. The Chinese perception of how much pain they're going through is that they say at zero. They say all the pain is going to be on the American side. They had a piece yesterday in China Daily saying only America will suffer from the trade war

on our side. We tend to look at objective indicators. For example, auto sales have really plummeted since the trade talks began, since the terrofts began to be applied. So we see these objective indicators that tell us China should be feeling pain, but they're claiming that they don't. That's part of the problem the president, I think wants to go and I support this. He wants to go for the full five hundred billion dollars range of Chinese exports to our country and put twenty five percent on all

of it. And even that may not be enough, because we're dealing with this machine created in the early eighties that, as the President likes to say, the past presidents let this happen, even says Obama let them get away with murder. So the amount of leverage it will take to get China to do major changes in its economic system, I think it's going to be pretty high. And we've obviously

got their attention. They're willing to talk, but the fact that they could reneg and essentially stop the talks, that shows me that they're still fairly arrogant, floroughly confident that they don't have to do what we request. Do you think they're just trying to wait things out until they figure whether they're going to be dealing with Trump or some Democrat going forward? How much dock you put in

that analysis? I agree with President Trumps that they think if they wait him out, will get Joe Biden, who was already sort of scoffed at the idea that China would ever surpass America. President Trump likes to say that they want to surpass us, but it will not happen on my watch. And the implication of that is it's another president, a weak president, let's say Hillary Clinton or

Joe Biden, that the Chinese would surpass America. That's the vision the President Trump's holding out for what's to stake in these talks. I agree with him as a matter of fact, but the level of leverage will take to make up for these weak presidents the past, and how much China has gained on us. I mean even by if you look up the CIA factbook, they use purchase power parody. They're indicating that China has surpassed on the American economy as of about three or four years ago.

If you lose what if you use what they call the currency exchange rate figure, then we are about nineteen trillion and they are close to fourteen trillion, so something like two thirds of ours size. But they grow twice as fast as US. They used to grow four times as fast when they were at ten percent a year. Now at six or seven percent, there's still double our

growth rate. So it's a matter of time unless we can get them to play fair and give a level playing field, as the President likes to say to our farmers and our workers. But that's been happening so far. We're speaking to doctor Michael Hillsbury, who is at the Hudson Institute and the author of One hundred Year Marathon, which I have read cover to cover. I recommend to all of you listening, if you want to about what's

going on with China, you do the same. Also want to ask you, Michael, what do we need to know about these protests in Hong Kong. People are saying a couple of million turned out, maybe the largest protests in the twenty first century anywhere in the world so far, at least that's what I've seen some of the estimates. Say, why does this matter so much? And what does it tell us about the direction not just of Hong Kong,

but of China. What it tells us about the direction of China is that Chinese who live in Hong Kong, who have their own identity in some ways, and they have British law, British institutions that are guaranteed to them until twenty forty seven, they are saying in large numbers that we don't trust the rule of law, the legal system, the system of trials up in China. So this new proposal that China can come in and sort of arrest whoever it wants in Hong Kong and they must be

extradited immediately to China. By the way, it includes visitors. There's foreign visitors by the millions. Also there's eighty five thousand Americans who live in Hong Kong. So this new law that's demonstrating against we give China a free hand to bring anybody back to China. And their claim, of course, as you'll get a fair trial. So apparently a two million people don't believe they'll get the fair trial if they're expedited back to China. That's the issue, and it's

a vote of no confidence. It's highly embarrassing worldwide to Shijin paying and the Chinese leadership. They obviously thought they could get away with this, and now it's very amusing to me because my book Hunter Dr Marathon, as you know, Buck, it's all about deception and the Chinese use of deception. Their story had been we have the rule of law in China. Hong Kong should welcome this and we support it to pull up. Bureau members publicly endorsed it the

extradition law. Now the Chinese ambassador in London, who used to be here in their embassy, he has publicly said, no, we never asked for this. You know, this is Carrie Lamb's own idea. So they're throwing her under the bus because it's so politically unpopular. But I think it's extremely significant that Chinese, as close to China as Hong Kong Chinese do not believe that the rule of law exists.

But we'll China get its way eventually on this. I mean, how long can Hong Kong resist the second largest economy in the world and increasingly one of the largest military powers in the world as well. A lot depends on this concept of faith and this desire by the Chinese Communist Party up in Beijing to portray itself as virtuous, friendly, honest. They're trying to sell a deception story. I think that's what I argue Jameratha, that there's going to be a

new Chinese led world order. And under this Chinese led world order, yes, they'll have the largest economy by far, they'll end up with the largest military forces. But everyone's going to be happy. Everyone's going to be attracted to the virtue of this new Chinese led world order. It will be so much better, they say, than the American led world order, which was so unfair and brutal and

involved invasions not approved by the UN Security Council. So this is what they've been pushing now for more than ten years, that this new will we're headed to our toward is much better than the old American land order. When these two million people turned out, it's the kind of stab in the back from the Chinese Communist Party's point of view. And I think as long as the

rest of the world pays attention. There was enormous media attention to the demonstrations, it means Hong Kong has not been abandoned, and the rest of the world still thinks that China should agree to its agreement it made with the British back in nineteen ninety seven that Hong Kong system of government on think called the highest degree of

autonomy will remain until twenty forty seven. That it's a long way to go, but we're gonna have to keep watching the situation there thinking probably warning the trainee is not to be too heavy handed. Doctor Michael Pillsbury, author of The One Hundred Year Marathon, and over at the Hudson Institute, where he works on China strategy. Michael, great to have you on, sir, appreciate it. We'll have you back. Maybe we can discuss the military balance next time. That's

what I'm merely read about. Bucka. We'll count on it, my friend. We'll get into the military balance for sure, everybody. We'll be back in just a moment. I'm not been out of shape. I'm fine. I'm been out of shape for them. These are the first heroes and veterans and victims of the great trillions of dollars War on Terror, and they're currently still suffering and dying and in terrible need. You know, you would think that would be enough to

get Congress's attention, but apparently it's not. We've spent a year compiling bipartisan cosponsors and advocates for this bill, all in the hopes that when it finally gets to the Great Mitch McConnell's desk, you won't jack us around like you've done in the past. So, if you want to know why the nine eleven community has been out of shape, over these past let's call it eighteen years. Meet with them tomorrow as soon as possible, and don't make them beg for it. You could pass this thing as a

standalone bill tomorrow. Meet with them. So John Stewart is really pushing this moment here, and I was initially very supportive of it because nine to eleven, you know, nine eleven first responders, we haven't we have a debt to them as Americans, not just as New Yorkers, as Americans, and obviously also first responders that were at the Pentagon

as well. But John Stewart is now going beyond just the Congress of the problem to naming specific members of Congress and blaming people for things and calling them out

by name. And I would note that there's not a I haven't heard him criticize a Democrat yet, which I just this is a thing that happens where someone who maybe is on the right track overall, but then it starts to get partisan in a way where I think it's fair to ask questions Mitch McConnell, who, by the way, they've been funded, I mean that the funding is happening, And I think I told you on the show though I can't remember that. John Stewart's part of his big

monologue that he gave that got so much attention. He said, this room is empty, and it's a disgrace. It's everybody in Congress who was supposed to be at that hearing was there. It was just it was a bigger room than some of their different size congressional hearing rooms. This is I read this from somebody who worked in Congress for years and years, and so everybody was supposed to

be there was apparently there from what I understand. So John Stewart was just that was a grandstanding moment that he was But look, I'm gonna give him some leeway if he's gonna grandstand on behalf of people who were at nine to eleven doing what they at the world trace they're doing what they could. But here's Mitch McConnell responding to what's starting to feel like a pretty political

or I should say, partisan criticism Play fourteen. We've never left the nine to eleven victims behind, and we won't again. Uncomfortable about the way you have been rois front of this debate over nine eleven, offers responders, and doest I don't know how many times. I can say we've never left the nine to eleven victims behind, and we won't again. It's something we always say, Carol, any other subject. Mitch

McConnell is saying that this always gets done. It has never not gotten done in whatever, So I do get Curry at some point, John Stewart, is he upset that they that this isn't automatically in the budget every year? Um? Is that is? That? Is this supposed to be a part of automatic expanding? And I asked that question, not rhetorically or in a smarmy way. I ask it honestly. I don't really understand what his The room wasn't poorly

attended when he gave his speech. You have co sponsors for the bill like Dan Crenshaw, who's a wounded Navy seal and veteran the war in Afghanistan. I mean, you've got people that are very much attending to this issue. You've got major coast maybe major responsors for the bill. No good things that's not gonna pass. The bill is gonna pass. They're gonna be funding. So why is he calling out Mitch McConnell acting like he doesn't care. There's

something else going on here, folks. I mean there's something, there's some other considerations that are being that are latching onto what should be a pure duty and obligation moment, which is that we should be helping the first responders. But it shouldn't be we helped the first responders. But let's also just just bash Mitch McConnell because he's the bad guy here. The funding is going through it, it always has, so I'd like to know what John Stewart

is getting so angry at certain individuals about. This was a troubling article that I came across today from someone who is a PhD I believe a psychologist and or psychiatrist. I'm not sure which about the bigotry. This is not what it's called, but this is what the article is about. It's really the bigotry of trans or rather of cisgender heterosexual people against transgender individuals. Now you might be saying, well,

what is that? But I don't understand, and that's fine because it doesn't really make a whole lot of sense until you dig into the details. The purpose of this article are trans people excluded from the world of dating?

And it goes into some detail about how for a transgender person sexual attraction does not line up with what they might want it to be, as in a man who decides to be a trans gender woman, which as we know, is still not biologically A woman may wish to have heterosexual male partners, but heterosexual males speaking as one,

are overwhelmingly not attracted at all to transgender females. Now, the dating world is interesting because it's one of the few parts of life where there's an acceptance of You get to kind of pick and choose what you want. You can pick by religion, you can pick by It's a very personalized decision making process that the social justice

warriors have not yet been able to override. You know, as much as they may want people to date a non binary, non cisgender, you know, eight hundred pound eskimo, you know, as much as they may want people to view that as what is sexually attractive and what we should all aspire to. People tend to be attracted to what whoere And by the way, there is somebody out there, I'm sure who this mythological person I've just created, And I'm sure there are people who that is their cup

of tea, and that's great. But we tend to like what we like. We tend to be attracted to what we're attracted to as people. But what's interesting to me is that now within the medical profession there's already this early because you know, the most left wing doctors are psychiatrists and I'm not making that up, that's that's true. There have been studies the most left wing doctors are psychiatrists.

And what we're finding is that now there's a pressure on doctors to try to come up with explanations of why transgender women are not attractive to heterosexual men. And the answer is because they're not women. It's very straightforward. They have different I'm not going to try to beat around the you know, be cutesy about this. I'm just they have different genitalia. I mean, they are different down below, and there's a very basic biological impulse of attraction that

heterosexual men have. And that we don't find women who are trans or sorry, transgender women. Rather, we don't find transgender women attractive is exactly what the medical profession should expect because they're not women. And that I know you say that of oh no, you can't say that they are no, no, no, they're not you can say they're transgender women, but they are not, in fact just women. That's not that's not accurate, that's not true, that's not reality.

But in this article they get into some really interesting social analysis of how this is a problem to be over that must be overcome, that there's really a bigotry, a sense of um exclusionary feeling toward people who are who want to be attractive to heterosexuals, but who themselves do not line up in a gender sense with what

a heterosexual would be attracted to. This should not be complicated, doctors should not be befuddled by this, but sure enough they are in this piece in psychology today, are trans people excluded from the dating world. No, they're not excluded at all. But we all live in reality, folks, and gender is still real, even if some people want to pretend it's not. Hey, Team Buck, it's time for roll call. Letting it air out a little bit to nice good times with the roll call, the roll call, per let

it speak for itself. Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton. Also you can check in at buck Sexton dot com. There is in fact a website with my name or that is based on my name, and you can go there, you can find your local station. You can download the podcast. All kinds of wonderful things happening in the buck Sexton store, dude, or buck Sexton website, stores, coming stores coming. Sorry, I got too fast, I got ahead of myself. My fault,

my fault. So good times. Yeah, and by you can always just go to Buxxon dot com and you and play the podcast from there. So it's very very easy those of you who like to listen on demand. And that's where I'm at. So see, I'm taking a moment to let the whole thing boot up, because sometimes when you're doing a live radio show, as you know, it's a wild and crazy thing and occasionally it won't exactly happen at this be there we go radio time, all right.

I always appreciate you all writing in. Please, by the way, if you have not written in, it's summertime and the living's easy. So why don't you write into the buck Sexton Show on Facebook and tell me something good? Damn something good? You know, you know how it goes. I know I'm gonna mood to that, folks, I'm gonna mood. It's amazing what it's like when you've been overtired and underslept for about twelve Actually, you know, a lot of you are saying, yeah, Buck, it's called being a parent,

and it lasts longer than a year. I know, I don't know how you parents do it. I see people that have a dog that's over ten pounds, and I'm like, I don't understand how anybody could take on so much responsibility. But here we are. I was like, all right, maybe I'll get a pet, salamander or something like that. You know, something that you can have developed some kind of attachment to, but you know, if you forget to feed it for

a few days, and little little Kermit. I don't know why the Salaman name Kermit, but little Kermit passes away. No one's gonna no one's gonna think less of you, you know, or actually some of you probably would. I bet there's some there's some terror pin or there's some terrarium fans out there. Mark, you've probably had a terrarium. I have not. What kind of pets have you had. I've had a dog. So basically, you're saying you're normal and more responsible than me, and maybe I should check

myself before I wreck myself. Okay, Yeah, I think any respectable humans should be able to take care of a dog. That's probably That's probably fair and probably true. All right, let's move on, shall we? Adam Rights? On Friday, you mentioned Flash Gordon was from Planet and Mango and General Zod came from the Phantom Zone prison for Superman. Oh, General zadd came from the Phantom Zone prison. Okay, yeah, I can't keep all my sci fi references straight. Not

really much of a sci fi guy. Chris and Rights just her yesterday's podcast, You're really single? I'm so sorry. I really thought miss Molly was the one. Well Christen sad or I, but things happen and I wish are all the best, and it has been a while, so I had to let this sting of things pass a little bit. Yes, indeed, so if you ever hear me talking about being out and about I am I'm a man who was on his own, We'll see the next

one has to be. I mean, it's time for time for Buck to get married and have some kids, because oooh man, people are looking at me like, what's up with you? You seem nice and normal ish? Where where's the kids? Where's the ring? You know? Where's all that? Stuff, and I don't have a particularly good answer for them. I say, I'm busy spreading freedom, saving the country. Richard writes, Buck Happy, who's your hellos? From the third Shift? This

racial jerrymandering case is crazy crazy. Dems can draw maps based on race all the time any day. I live in North Carolina where for one hundred and forty years the Dems held everything. Look up the old thirteenth distor maps. Sometime it's snaked from Charlotte to Durham. How is that local representation? Republicans got in and drew their own maps, and everyone says it's racist and bemoan that they drew them.

So Dems will lose, of course they did. If the Dems want to win, come up with ideas and win in the arena of those ideas, not impose your will from activist courts. Somehow Republicans lose. I don't get it. Chill time, well, Richard, there are a lot of people

out there who make bad decisions. So you know there are people, for example, who will tell you with a straight face that putting chopped up olives and sun dried tomato on a pizza or in some kind of aposta sauce is a good idea, and I'm just here to tell you that that's almost never the case. But there are a lot of people who think that's true, just like there are still folks out there of the belief and I don't know what to say. Oh then just

to speak the truth about it. There are still people in this world who think that Ghostbusters two is a good movie. I don't know what to tell them. I don't know. I can't. I can't fix that level of of wrong. You know, people can just they're allowed to be wrong on it, and so they are. That's where we are. Let's see, uh, Michael rights Uh. Hold on a second. The Chronicle Telegram did a good a pretty good job of covering the story from the start. Gibson,

you have to be more careful with facts. Gibson's unlikely to get forty four million dollars. I think I said that, Michael, that they got awarded this. That doesn't mean they're going to get it. But you don't know. This stuff goes into court for a long time, and well, what will actually happen, because I have some familiarity with the way these settlements tend to work, is they'll end up paying a much smaller but immediate fee just to make the

whole thing go away. But even even if Gibson's got a couple of million dollars, that would probably I don't know what their legal bills are, but if they got a million or two above their legal bills, that would be life changing. I think John writes, hey Buck, great hair, great show, Don, You're a great American. I apologize for coming off as of tuse in the past, trying to cramp too much info. That said, on nomenclature, you're very

good about still calling immigrants illegal aliens. But calling the Iran deal a deal isn't appropriate. In my opinion. There are no deals with other countries. They are treaties which require the approval of Congress. Another example of Obama flouting our laws. Interesting, don let me let me chew on that one a little bit. I think I understand what you're talking about, But yeah, I might have to think about that a little bit. But yes, illegal alien is the proper legal term, and so I think that is

the term that we should use. Max hey Buck. Last Wednesday in Boston, the last hour the Freedom Hut was obliterated. To buy a looney podcast a man, and I don't know want to tell you, man, sometimes that just happens in places. You know. They're just they're giving her to go to see how it does, and they're gathering data on the podcast they're putting out on different stations. It's above my paygrade. Gina writes, Hello again, Buck, listen to you talking about the OJ and Bronco chase. I actually

lived in Orange County at the time. We're in our high rise off Jamboree in California, in Irvine, California, at the intersection of a couple of freeways. We're listening to your radios and had the lunch from TV on. All of a sudden we realize this is only a couple of minutes south of us. We all ran over the window looking back, probably lamthing to do, but watched as it all rolled past. There were already people lining the route,

so at least we're not alone in our lameness. We then listened to the car on our way home, flipped on ABC until its conclusion. Crazy. It's been twenty five years and we all know he did it shields high. Buck Well, Well, Gina, Yeah, I think that's fine that you went out to go see the OJ White Bronco motorcade as it as it passed. I probably would have done the same thing the OJ trial. I really enjoyed

the People Versus OJ Simpson FX show. If you haven't seen that, I do highly recommend it, even if you know the OJ story. They do a good job of really showing you a lot of the different dynamics. And that was I remember that period in time. It was really when you started to have more of court TV was more of a thing. This reality TV was more you know, cable news was really getting going in a big way, and it was on non stop. I mean everywhere you look. The OJ trial was on all the time.

It was a fascinating, fascinating period. That's that's for sure. Jeremy Rights. President Trump should appoint Cannis Owens. Yes, no, I know, I agree President Trump should appointed Candis Owens as Press secretary. But en Shell c Richard right, storry to hear about you would Miss Molly hope you're doing well, Richard, Thank you so much. From what I understand, Miss Molly's doing just fine, and I'm all right, and we are hopefully both going to be leading productive and happy lives

going forward. And I wish her all the best. She's a great girl. Scott, all right, Buck, How feasible would it be if Iran continues their attacks for the US to launch massive air strikes and take out every non Iran military site in a single night, thus making them unable to wage war on anyone? Shields High, Scott, You know, I wouldn't be that feasible unless you start thinking about nuclear and we're obviously not thinking about that. That's crazy. I don't think that you'd be able to do it.

I think that you would run out of munitions pretty quickly if you tried to do it. I mean you could. We could obviously destroy their air force, and we could hit them hard enough that they wouldn't really be able to wage any kind of offensive war, you know, I guess it depends on what the parameters are when you say unable to wage war on anyone.
