This is the buck Sexton Show or the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Magnoma stake America. You're a great American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins. I am asking you to choose greatness. No matter the trials we face, no matter the challenges to come, we must go forward together. We must keep

We must keep freedom alive in our souls, and we must always keep faith in America's destiny that one nation under God must be the hope and the promise and the light and the glory among all the nations of the world. Thank you, God, Bless you, and God bless America. Thank you God. Welcome to the Bucks extent show. The President absolutely nailed it last night. He nailed it, and we will do a bit more in depth analysis later on in the show

of some of what he said. I was there at the Trump Hotel with a lot of friends, really a social visit, did a little bit of live tweeting, which was always fun. President a great job last night. We'll talk about some of the policy specifics. Of course, the

media unhinged media reaction, that's all coming up. I want to put that on a pause though, for a moment, because I know that a lot of you, first of all, probably don't even instead of the Union address interesting to you, but only in small doses, and also you've probably had a chance to read and hear about it throughout the

course of the day. So we will get to it, but I want to I want to just put a hold on that for a moment and focus on a different story, really series of stories that is causing huge problems for the Democrats. Now you will recall it over the weekend, because there's there's new developments on all three of these today. You will recall it over the weekend. There was this news story about Ralph Northam in Virginia.

The governor of Virginia who had this photo on his yearbook page from when he was a medical student at Eastern Virginia Universe Virginia Medical School of him in blackface and standing next to a clientsman. So just really grotesquely racist stuff. I mean, true racism, right, I would truly beyond the pale stuff, not that maybe kind of sort of racism the Democrats often talk about. I mean, this is the real deal racism, right, this is real deal racism. And he had this bizarre Oh I'm it was me.

I'm so sorry. Oh no, I don't think it was me. I'm not going to resign. All these democrats said he should resign, and I would be willing to if it were up to me, perhaps for give, although I do think democrats should be forced to live under the draconian and often unfair rules they make the rest of us live by. I would perhaps be able to move beyond if he said he was sorry. It was thirty some odd years ago. It was a photo, and you know he's lived a very different life since then, and that's

not what he thinks now. I would be willing, but I'm not willing to move beyond. That's not me and the photo, because we're not all morons and we should not be spoken to by a senior government official from a very important state like we're all a bunch of idiots. I'm just not okay with that. Okay, that's where the Northam controversy still stands. Okay, he he is an unethical liar. Notice how much, how rarely that term has be used. They always tell us Trump lies. Oh Trump said that,

you know, he's the best negotiator. He's a liar. That's an opinion. It's not a lie. We'll get into the fake fact checking of the fake news later. But oh Trump said that, you know he does he does the best. Trump says that he's got the best hair. Fact check false. Yours truly has something to say about this? No, but really Trump says things and they claim that it's a lie. It's false. Okay. Where are the people that are jumping on Northam for not just the racist photo, but for

lying about what is clearly a photo of him? I mean,

this is this is like it reminds me. I think it was a long time ago, an SNL sketch, and this just kept running through my mind where they did this whole bit where OJ Simpson was in the courtroom and they asked somebody on the witness stand to identify OJ, and when the person tried to point at OJ, he hid under the desk, and his defense attorney, Johnny Cockers was saying, you know, let the record show that he pointed at somebody in the back of the room, not

at my client. You know, this is that by hiding from the person pointing in the courtroom, that he was avoiding being identified as a double murderer, which is as we know what OJ Simpson was and got away with it. That's kind of what Northam's at that level. It's like, oh, it's not me, I just can't remember, all right. But Northam is only one one piece of this Democrat terribleness tripod. This triumvirate of terrible that the Democrats have assembled for

us in Virginia is crumbling. You have Northam, you also have fair facts. Fair facts is the lieutenant governor. And I want you to keep in mind as we work through this, that the way the state of Virginia, and I'm sure this is true in most states, the way the government works is top as the governor. Lieutenant governor would take over if the governor had to step down or leave or whatever. And then the state attorney general

is below the lieutenant governor. Oh, we're gonna get We're gonna get to the state attorney general from Virginia because he's now a part of this too. Then you have Fairfax, and he's the one that I think is probably in the great the most dire jeopardy because the allegation against him is a criminal allegation, not just a bad judgment

racism allegation. It's a criminal allegation that about fifteen years ago, he sexually assaulted a woman, essentially forced a woman who he met while out on the campaign, out of a campaign event of some kind, to perform a sex act on him. That she forced, that he forced her to do this against her will, and she was crying. And she is now out there. She is named Vanessa Tyson is the individual here. She has come forward, she has hired attorneys. She this is an encounter that both parties

agree happened. They know each other, they had a sexual interaction. You know, this is something that there's it's certainly plausible, and you know, I can't say if it's probable, but I can tell you that's plausible, meaning that there's no reason why this sexual assault clearly did not happen, and it very well may have happened. I can't adjudicate this properly. No one can adjudicate this properly without additional facts. But

this is to be taken seriously. This is a real allegation of a sexual assault, of a man using force against a woman to make her do something, to perform a sex act that she did not want to. And you know she has come forward. She released a statement today that he assaulted her in two thousand and four, and NBC News reported earlier today that Fairfax said, of his accuser, blank, that be word. So that gives you

a sense of where this guy's mindset is. You know, that's you know, this is not somebody who I think many of us. Let's just put it this way. Imagine if it had ever come out, because Cavanaugh is the standard here. They created this world. They've made this world. Now they should have to live in it. The Cavanaugh allegation, the first one was not even credible. It was not plausible.

It was unbelievable to think that this woman knew these specifics about an incident that you couldn't remember anything else about, and the seasoned and the media of course dropped this. The seasoned sex crimes prosecutor who sat down and interviewed her very straightforward, not aggressive fashion, said yeah, this would not have even this would not have even led to an arrest. They had nothing on Kavanaugh. The second woman couldn't even remember it herself, so I don't even know

how that's an allegation. The third woman was a straight up psycho fabricator, liar, But the media said that she, any of them, had a right to be believed, that blasi For was some kind of a hero to women everywhere. The media said she had a right to be believed and that she was not to be questioned and that

her word was good enough. I need to understand where the media is now that you have a man who is a politician in the state of Virginia, a senior politician, second in command of the state, and he has a credible allegation of sexual assault against him from when he was an adult fifteen years ago. By the way, I don't know what the statue of limitations is in Virginia for this, but they are treating this like, well, we

don't know yet. Now all of a sudden, the journalistic even handedness and skepticism and other things, now they all kick in because a Democrat has been accused. This is disgusting hypocrisy. And this is why people like me during the whole cabinall debacle, when they were destroying due process, just just destroying justice. I mean, they were slowly torturing

justice in front of all of us. That's what the Democrats, including Democrats like Corey Booker and Kamala Harris who think that they should be the next president, That's what they did on TV in front of the whole country. Someone needs to explain to me how Fairfax should not get the cabinal treatment from the media. And the answer is they have. They cannot explain it other than to say, well, it's our guy. Now. This exposes what disgusting, rotten cowards

most of the mainstream media are. This is who they are. They pretend to care about women, they pretend to care about sexual assault, they pretend to care about justice, and they just use all of those things for their own purposes and abandon them the moment that it's inconvenient. But wait, there's more. Turns out that there's more than one senior official in the state of Virginia who has a problem

with showing up at parties in blackface. Mark Harring is the attorney the state attorney for Virginia, Virginia, sorry, Virginia Attorney General. You make sure I get the title correct. He has now come out. The Washington Post report on this says that guess what, when he was in college,

he wore black face. Now you might say to me, hold on a second, by you know, let's let's not just start start throwing everybody on the bonfire here because of what they did a long time ago, and those okay, well, and some of you are probably like, no, buck, that's unacceptable. Let me say this. Herring was one of the people calling for Northam to resign over his black face photo.

You can't make this stuff up. So now you have the number three official for the state of Virginia, who had just days ago said the number one state official for Virginia should resign because of a black face photo. Number three had to admit that he wore black face and one of the most just obvious and disgraceful things

to the media. You know what they were calling this today, They were referring to it initially as Attorney General Virginia Attorney General at Mark Harring claims that he wore quote, dark makeup to party in college. Oh so when a Democrat wears blackface, it's dark makeup. They've since updated it because they were getting hammered. I mean, I mean the New York Times and some of these major organizations. Dark makeup or brown colored makeup was what some I couldn't.

I said, you guys, this is why people hate the media. These are activists. They have infiltrated the apparatus of news gathering and dissemination. They've overtaken journalism the same way they've overtaken Hollywood. They are dishonest, they are scummy, and we need to fight back this Virginia situation. This could result in theoretically a Republican becoming the governor of Virginia. I don't think that will happen because the Democrats have no scruples.

But talk about a bad week for the Democratic Party in the state of Virginia. When Terry mccauliffe is the most or let's just say the least distasteful when it comes to ethics politician in your state. Wow, you've got problems. We have so much more showcoming. As I said, we'll get into dive into some of the state of the Union, and I have other things to add into the mix as well. So team, it's going to be a great show.

Stay with me. Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth. These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get the chance to share their love and their dreams with the world. And then we had the case of the governor of Virginia where he stated he would execute a may be after birth to defend the dignity of every person.

I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late term abortion of children who can feel pain in the mother's room. That's your President, everybody giving a speech last night that I think anyone, any one of us, should be proud of. And on an issue where the separation, the immoral separation between the two political sides in this country could not be more apparent or more of an imperative.

It is not lost on me that the reason that we know at this point, all this stuff, it seems at least that it's come out about northumb and Fairfax and now this Herring Attorney General for Virginia. The reason we know it is because of Northam's comments about that Virginia legislature bill that would have said that would have made it legal to kill a baby all the way

up to the moment of birth. You know, woman's having contractions, you know, water breaks still, and people who say that would never happen, let me just shoot that down one. We cannot have laws that allow murder, whether the murder is likely to happen or not. We cannot have laws that legalize murder because then we have codified immorality at

on the most important of issues into our society. And if you're going to allow for that in this instance, there's opportunity to expand it into other instances as well. Other areas of life will offer if life is not protected at all points. For all, those who claim to be conservative, claim to be such stalwart and principled Republicans. I hear the president's speech last night, I think about what he has done, what he has signed, who he has appointed, what he is pushing and using his bully

pulpit to try and accomplish. And I think where is the conservative rage against this coming from? And I think that, unfortunately increasingly, it comes from people who have made common cause with the very same Democrats who want to murder babies in New York and Virginia and anywhere else for that matter, and cover for people like Fairfax and Northam and Warren. He's holding the line for America bucket his back. I believe that the governor's team is spreading misinformation about you.

You know, I don't know precisely where this is coming from, and you know, we've heard different things. But but here's the thing. Does anybody think it's any coincidence that on the eve of potentially my being elevated, that that's when this uncorroborated smear comes out. Does anybody believe that's a coincidence. I don't. I don't think anybody believes that's a coincidence. It goes away for a year and then crops back up right at this moment. You don't have to be cynical.

You don't have to understand politics how to understand when someone's trying to manipulate a process to to harm someone's character without any basis whatsoever. That's Fairfax. Again, that's the lieutenant governor of Virginia. And remember he was after the Northam controversy broke out. He was somebody that was already being talked about as a very you know, fit and

excellent replacement for Northam. So the Democrats thought, oh, you know, if we got to lose Northam, you know who's kind of a guy who's not exactly that in the world on fire, kind of you know, or disordered. There's guys here and he dances to be all nice. Turns out he actually fights really dirty. But you know, they want

to get rid of Northam, they want Fairfax. And well, now it turns out Fairfax got a big problem because the whole me Too movement, which we know is already and I said this from the earliest days of it, that it was going to be weaponized against Republicans, and

it was weaponized against Kavanaugh. But not only do we see that it was to us to be used for that political purpose explicitly part as in political purpose, there's this additional layer now that we have to take into account, which is that it is a standard the any accusation from a woman should be met with consequences to the individual, even if they're not necessarily legal consequences, although they can be. There should be professional and reputational consequences from the accusation alone.

That is the standard that Democrats set up during Kavanaugh, and they are abandoning that standard now. Now that standard is all of a sudden not fair. Well never was fair, but when it was useful for them, they pretended that it was. Now, what happens with all of this, that's the question that a lot of people are asking. And I got to this a little bit before the break. If you had these three Democrats all resign, you would have a Republican governor of Virginia with the twenty twenty

election looming. Virginia is a battleground state. There's just there's no way the Democrats are going to allow that. But then what you have is who is to be sacrificed. They've already had the Democrats, senior Democrats, calling for Northam to step down. He hasn't stepped down. You had Warren. I'm sorry, no, not not Warren. I keep I keep

getting this guy's herring. Pardon me. We're gonna have a Warren in a minute Mark Herring say that Northam should step down, when now we find out that Herring was guilty of the exact same conduct around the same time. So how can he keep his joe? If Northam goes, doesn't Herring have to go? And forget whether or not you agree with that standard. That is the standard that the left has in place. If you have a racist incident in your past like this and you're a Republican,

you should go. So you know that means that anybody who has this sort of incident we should say, all right, I guess you got to go. So if Northham goes, doesn't Herring have to go? And if neither Northham nor Harring go, what does that say about the Democrats willingness

to police racist behavior from people's backgrounds? You know what, are we still going to listen to them say oh, what about what Trump said this time or that time on a racial issue and act like and we're supposed to take them seriously as though they really care about underlying racially insensitive language or racially insensitive conduct when they're willing to justify this stuff or say that there should be no consequences for this. But if one or both

of them leave. You're gonna have Fairfax, who's been accused by a woman on the record, she's named something happened. I mean that they had a sexual encounter. This isn't like some person who's just fabricating a crazy tale, which is what happened to Kavanaugh. How does this play out at Producer, Mike, I know you would run on DC. What do you think happens here? Man? What's your take on this one? I don't know, man, it was It's one of the crazier stories I've seen in a long time. One, two, three.

What are the chances? Yeah? I think three, you know. I mean, this is the equivalent for the state of Virginia if you had the president, of the the vice president, the speak of the House all about to resign. Yeah, at the federal level, that's what's happening right now in Virginia. I think that they all stick it out. I think none of them resign, and that the Democrats just rely on the media apparatus that's in their pocket and just the just the complete lack of ethics the Democratic Party

thrives on. I think they just they just stick with it. What do you think, man, I think that they're all gonna stay. I agree, it's going to be interesting to see who they rally behind, because now that it's you know, all three are in hot water. Um, they can't let this go Republican. They can't. So somebody's gonna have Todd is Cash is Cash hanging out? Cash knows that you're on the radio, and if he's trying to get is he putting his demo tape out there for the program directors?

Actually he's putting Actually he's putting his pall in the race for governor of Virginia. So he's like, he's like, at those guys are such idiots. I can do it if they if they if they all get to stay. Cash Cash has got an interesting point that he makes there. But anyway, you gotta get him at a little chewy bone or something so he can he can hang out. Obviously, Mike's up in New York right now. I'm down here

in the swamp in DC. I think that I think that this thing is gonna this thing is gonna be a real problem for the Democrats because they're not gonna at least when a resignation occurs, there's some sense that there's finality or maybe not justice, but there's been action taken. They're not. They can't take any action here because if one of them goes, all of them goes. Pretty much. The only one that I guess you could say, you know, shouldn't under Democrats standard be forced to step down is

fair facts. But keep in mind that, and I'm pro fair facts being able to make his case publicly, and I believe in due process, and I want to be very clear about that. I'm just applying the left standard of these three cases. I'm applying the Democrats standard to these three individuals. These are not my standards necessarily, but I also so no longer think that we can we can let this stuff go where there's a different standard for Republicans and there's for Democrats. I just think that

people have had enough. And the only way this stuff stops is if we forced the other side to live under the rules that they make us live under. If our politics of our expectations for politicians are the same across the board, then maybe we can have a discussion about you know, forgiveness and mercy and repentance. These are important concepts, not just as Christians and as good human beings, but in public life. That's okay, we don't need to

expect now. I'm not talking about the sexual assault here, but I'm talking about these other guys that have these these you know, racist incidents from their past. I mean it was thirty years ago. I was a baby when this stuff was happening. You know, this goes back quite a long ways. And if people are gonna say, well, buck, they did something racist when they were eight or nineteen years old thirty years ago, does that mean they can they never hold the job, Are they never allowed to

to are they not allowed to have lives afterwards? I mean, how far? How extreme is the public punishment and shaming of racist conduct from a long time ago? Whatever? You know? And there's also a sense of scale that we should take into account here. Right, what I'm saying racist conduct. We're not talking about cross burnings on front someone's law with a threat of violence and or actual violence. You know,

there's this there's a scale here. This isn't like they attacked somebody and beat them to death because of their you know, that's a that's a heinous crime that you know, you need to pay your debt to society for that. That that never goes away. We're talking about essentially really stupid and an insensitive racist college pranks. Okay, so we need to keep this in and keep this in the context. But I think they're all gonna stay and they're gonna rely on And this is why, you know, fair acts.

When he said that he thought that Northam maybe he indicated that he thought maybe Northam or maybe Herring leaked disinformation about him. They all realized that, you know, it's kind of like, you know, when you owe the bank a million dollars, the bank owns you. When you owe the bank a billion dollars, you own the bank. The Democrat Party can't afford to lose all three of these guys, so they kind of all point the finger at each other and say, hey, you know, if you're gonna get

rid of someone, get rid of that guy. And as a result, no guy I think is going to step down and leave. What a disaster though Democrats. I haven't even talked about socialism. I haven't even talked about some of that stuff from from last night, which I also want to spend a bit of time on. And with that in mind, actually, why don't we just take a moment because this is I think going to the State

of the Union here. This was one of those those moments where you saw the real separation between what Trump and the Republicans stand for and what the Democratic Party is more obviously standing for now than ever before. This fight over socialism is a fight over the trajectory over the future of this country, a very important one. Here's what Trump said last night in the State of the Union play five. Here in the United States, we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country.

America was founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion, domination, and control. We are born free and we will stay free. Tonight we renew our resolve that America will never be a socialist country. Ten years ago, that statement, at least publicly, would have I think, received universal support publicly from both parties last night. Democrats wouldn't stand wouldn't support it. Democrat Party in this country is the socialist party. They don't

call themselves that, but they're a socialist party. Look at European socialists and what they advocate for, and look at what Democrats advocate for here. Democratic Party is the party of socialism. People are figuring this out and there's more honesty about this, even from the Democrats themselves, because they think that this perhaps is their moment. I think that they're waiting for some kind of an economic not collapse, but at least reversal in the Trump era, and then

they'll strike. Then they'll say, see this whole free market, this this idea of American prosperity, that, unshackled by the government, will just continue to bring us all up and make us wealthier and freer and happier than ever before. That's all a mirage. Give the government more power, Let the government make these decisions for you, and let the government take from those who owe you something because the Left and the Democrats say they do. That's a very scary

place for this country to go. And I think that is where we are heading. If the Democrats managed to take back power, and Trump made that case eloquently, forcefully and brilliantly last night, we'll be right back about tribal citizenship and tribal sovereignty and for harm cost, I am also sorry for not being more mindful of this. Decades tribes and only tribes to determine tribal citizenship. I had

a good conversation with Chief Baker. He was very gracious and we continued to talk about issues and continue to work on issues that Madam deeply to Indian Hunt Green. So that's Elizabeth Warren update here, folks, pokahonas pokehonas herself. She has another little problem to handle. It's not just her DNA tests that we all know show that she is one one twenty fourth Native American. I believe less Native American than me based on my brother's DNA results

that he told me about recently. So, Producer, Mike, any any Native American DNA in your background? Not that I know, but I gotta. If I do, it's probably more than Elizabeth Warren. I think that's probably true. Brandon, you got some Native American DNA, I don't think so. We did our family tree in fourth grade with your beard, Dude, you almost got like a Viking level beer. So that's that's legit. No, But here's the thing. Elizabeth Warren wrote on her Texas State bar application that she was This

was handwritten in it. It's in her handwriting that she was an American Indian. My friends, they've tried to cover for her so much. They've tried so hard to make it seem like, oh, it was just a little nothing. It was just a little nothing, you know. It was just like the equivalent of a server in the basement with a hundred plus classified emails on it, you know nothing. It was a little nothing that she put she was Native American when she was at Harvard. It wasn't nothing.

Her career is built on racial fraud. There are bright neon flashing signs here. We're all aware of it. Who goes through life for no apparent reason in their professional life harping on this fact? I mean, really promoting the fact that they're a quote American Indian when they're not even a little bit American Indian. Who does that? Who

does that? You know this? If I had gone around for the last twenty years of my life and at every moment of my political or of my professional life, made sure that everybody knew that I was in fact a you know, Samoan, and there were clearly incentives for me to be Samoan for diversity programs and other things, and then people found out that I was not, in fact, in any way, shape or form Samoan. I think not to pick on Samoa, lovely place, but you know, I

think that this would be a problem for me. I don't think people would just skip past this looks she and I don't. Rutgers is a fine institution. I do not. I hate school elitism. I think that it's built on crapp and garbage. But just to be detectives here and be honest. Elizabeth Warren j D from Rutgers. As I

understand it, I believe she's JD from Rutgers. I think she's probably the only she would have been the only theme I mean, the only Caucasian professor at Harvard Law School who went to Rutgers, which is a state university for New Jersey. She gained the system. Folks, She's a fraud. She's a fraud, and she you want to talk about it. If there is such a thing as cultural appropriation, which as I've said, there isn't, but let's just say there.

If there is such a thing as cultural appropriation, it is pretending to be from another race and culture for the purposes of professional gain. Warren's got no shot. I don't even know if she's gonna make it to the primary. I don't even think. I think she might have to just bow out. It's just too hard to defend her, and look at Democrats, They're already stretched thin with all of the double standards and the hypocrisy and the unethical behavior that they have to try to prop up and

pretend is not a problem. I think Elizabeth Warren's in trouble here. I think she may be on the way out of this race for twenty twenty. I also think that we need to talk more about the state of the Union address and get into some specifics about the media reaction to at the polling, how it went, and much much more coming up. Team. So the show is just getting started. Stay with me Global Verification Network, my friends. It is the only dual certified and veteran owned background

investigation and vetting company out there. And you know this is a really important part of leasing out a property that you have, or hiring anybody, anybody that you're going to work with, or anybody you're gonna be doing business with, you need to have background checks done. And why not go with a veteran owned, operated and founded small business that understands how to do this for a business of any size, because they are the risk mitigation experts that

I trust the most. Know none of your data or client information is ever offshored, and all employees are located here in the States. A lot of those other background check companies will send your stuff overseas for some other foreign company to deal with. Call eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine. That's eight seven seven six nine five one seven nine. Or go to my GVN dot com again, that's my GVN dot com. He mistates the situation on Iran mistakes what the reality is

about the I n F tread in Russia. The phrase theater of the absurd is running through my head. A psychotically incoherent speech with cookies and dog poop. How can anyone see this as a good speech? How can anyone see this at unifying when he is spewing out lies to the American people? The speech was just packed for the lies. Doal Trump raised to a new level. The demagoguery, the hyperbole, the chauvinism. We already know this guy, no matter how much kumbayah. It was so grandials and over

the top. It was brown scary. Not mentioned climate change in even a sentence is just frankly a disgrace. Someone with absolutely no attachment to anything. He says Trump talking about unity is like Jack the Ripper talking about banning knives. The media is crazy. I mean, I know for some of you, you're probably like bucks, stop stop playing these clips of these media loot. But you gotta know, folks, you gotta be exposed to how insane? What speech were

they watching? What State of the Union address were they referring to? Because no intelligent human being could have watched that speech last night and come away saying what did Van Jones say? Like it was psychotic and cookies and rainbows or so, I mean, what Van Jones said some nonsense about it. I was surprised Rick Santorum, who is allegedly a conservative and a Republican, said that it was the worst speech Trump has ever given. Now, I know CNN can do bad things to a person, but yeah,

what is Rick Santorum thinking? I mean, the public came away from it overwhelmingly understanding that it was a It was a great speech. It was as good as a State of the Union address could have been. Should have been needed to be checked all the boxes I see. I don't think the State of the Union address is some kind of a game changer. I don't think anybody

who pays close attention to politics does. But to watch that speech and to think that there was anything about it that was off, offbeat, off tone somehow, you know, not enough, insufficient, or what those people were saying that the whole media montage you played for you, which is, oh, how negative they were and how you know they They just don't get it. This Trump hatred has just infected

their minds. And it's so weird because there are things that I could under stand them criticizing the president on, opposing the president on, but to say that speech was terrible and all this nastiness around it, they just sound petty. They sound petty and small. I mean, if you if you want to know, you know where I think, if you want to know where I think. The biggest issue I have with the speech was the length. I'm I'm

kind of a stickler for this stuff. I have a theory, and the theory is that wetting toasts and really toasts in general, but wedding toasts sixty seconds or less. State of the Union address sixty minutes or less. I do not want to have to sit there for more than an hour while you know so much of it. It's just applause. And people clapping, and oh and all this stuff. No no, no, no no, no, no, no, not necessary. You

can get it done in sixty minutes or less. Think about what how much more effective I would say the messaging is if it were condensed thirty or forty minutes, you'd really be able to remember a lot more of it, you know, with the sinning and the standing and oh who was standing and who was sitting. I kind of wanted Trump to make a shout out to Karl Marx just to see if he could get Alexandria Occasio Cortez

to stand for something. She was very unhappy all these women and they're white for you know, suffrage women, suffrage movement and all that stuff. Oh, you know, I would, I would have to say, I'd be more inclined to celebrate the female contingent of the of the Congress, that is, that has just been seated if they weren't a bunch of looney radical maniacs that are in favor of unrestricted abortion for nine months of a pregnancy and socialism, and I mean all kinds of stuff, bad news, bad news.

But the polling on this is all very clear. Anyone who's watching this honestly would have to come away and say that it was a very very effective speech for the president. It got the job done. Do I think that it changes much. No, Well, they hate him, let's no, of course not. But you know, it also reminds me, and there are a few things that are just kind of a personal feeling, all this stuff about how Obama

was so brilliant and Obama was so amazing. I used to always say, the moment you got Obama off prompt, it was really a lot of uh oh this, uh this another look all, you know, really not compelling, not not particularly charismatic off the cuff, not insightful. People say, oh, he gives such a good you know some people that they would say that he had this you know, incredible. You know. Yeah, he was good at giving a speech that was written for him, but he was not good

at just letting it rip. Not good, not really that good on the stump. I mean, I was always pretty unimpressed. And I just think it's funny because you know, no one ever says wow when Trump's on prompt or he's so amazing. He's just as effective as Obama was for his own side, right, I mean, Obama was very effective for Democrats. I heard what you're saying, and on the content side, I'm like, this is just blather. But Trump is every bit the showman. And then some that Obama

was giving a scripted speech. But you know, the media net they never give him credit for anything. They never gave him credit for anything. You know, they they are so invested in trying to tear him down. And that's why their analysis of this was just delusional. I mean, there was nothing nasty, there's nothing mean, nothing that was, you know, meant to tear other people down in some vicious way. Wow. Interesting State of the Union numbers here.

Fox News eleven million people watched, NBC seven million, CBS six million, ABC five, and then MSNBC three point eight million, CNN three point four million. Interesting. I was last last night. I was at the Trump Hotel, which is a gathering place for a lot of a lot of people who are favorable to MAGA, who are pro MAGA, they will hang out of the Trump Hotel. It's a nice place

to go spend some time. Very expensive. I would not recommend going to get lunch in there, but it's a nice place to spend some time because you will often in DC in the swamp end up seeing people that are are our people. How else do I put it? They are conservatives, they believe in in the and that's the only place I can think of. You're more likely to find people who are conservatives in the Trump Hotel lobby than you are walking around on Capitol Hill, I

can tell you. I can tell you that. And it was just it was nice last night to see a bunch of what people from the Blaze media were there and lots of different journalists that I know, servative journalist that I know were there, And I could tell you it was funny because whenever they have this, it's a huge space, and I know a lotty probably haven't had a chance to go. If you ever come to DC, it's it's worth it. Maybe one day we can do a Team Buck meet up in the Trump Hotel lobby.

But there's this enormous soaring lobby lounge area. Then the ceilings must be a hundred feet high or something. I mean, they're way up there. And they have these massive screens in this bar at one side with these big screens, and there's a restaurant one end in the bar with the big screens at the other, and they turned on Trump, giving the stay of the union of the screens, and then the whole sound system for the entire hotel was

turned to the Trump speech. You must have had five hundred to a thousand people in this lobby just watching the speeches that happened. But it was just funny because every time the camera would pan to Pelosi or to Okazia Cortez, boom boom, I mean, the booze would break out. It was a music. I mean, it was just it

was an entertaining situation. Um. It was something that I think, you know, as we look at politics and have all these serious moments and have to get get into some very intense topics, it was it was funny last night to see people a little bit of the atmosphere of a sporting event. Hey, it was better viewing than the

super Bowl. I'm just saying. It was better viewing than the super Bowl, more entertaining than that super Bowl, which was may have been the most boring football game I've ever seen, and that includes you know, d three AMers

college football. I mean it was it was really weak action. Anyway, enough enough about the super Bowl, but it was it was a good night for the president and the media people who are running around saying that he had a bad night, It's just it just erodes their credibility for anybody who has any interest in honesty and for part of their brand, whatever that means for them to be that.

They'll tell it like it is. If you came away from that speech last night as a journalist, as a Democrat, whomever, and you said that it was really ineffective and that Trump, you know, it was terrible or whatever, you're just making yourself look bad. It was a fantastic speech. I give it an A and maybe even you go a plus, although I like to reserve those for special occasions. There is a conservative alternative to all those far left, progressive

Following the President State of the Union, seventy six percent of speechwashers said they approved of what they heard. Seventy two percent said they approved of the President's ideas for immigration.

That seems pretty darn positive, doesn't it. Here's a CNN poll play clip eleven. But looking with this a very positive reaction from those who watch the speech tonight, fifty nine percent very positive, seventeen percent somewhat positive, of twenty three percent negative. So you know the numbers don't lie here right Well, While we had that that media montage fory before, but people, oh, Trump, who was terrible? Who's so bad? Bull? It's a fantastic speech. It was an excellent,

excellent speech, and they light him on immigration. And this is really important. You know, I know that we look at this shutdown situation and we're supposed to take away from an Oh, you know, Pelosi's the master negotiator, the master legislator, all this stuff. Truth is, the more people know, and there's a lot of unwinding of the falsehoods, right. The more people know about what's happening with illegal immigration,

the more they agree with Trump. The more people know about what's going on at our southern border and the illegals and the cartels and the human smuggling and the drugs, the more they agree with Trump. It's becoming irrefutable. Even for the d Trump media. I mean, they may not say this out loud, but they know that Trump is winning on immigration. Trump is right on immigration, and the

American people are picking up on this. This could have big implications for twenty twenty because whoever Trump runs against, he is just going to be able to wipe the floor with them. Any Democrat on immigration absolutely wipe the floor. Only maybe exceptions. Actually Bernie Sanders, because Bernie put aside like socialism, honey won't help, you know, the people with the millionaires and the billionaires, and the tax isn't yet right.

Bernie takes a more pro labor position in this country and therefore understands that supply and demand applies to the labor market and dumping a lot of low wage workers on the country through illegal immigration does not have you know, it does not go without cost. It does not go without cost. One other thing that came up last night that's just fascinating to me. The media likes to hold

themselves up as the firefighters of democracy, right. They're just there to make sure that you know, everything is going to be okay. They're on the front lines of the truth. When as I've been saying, and other people started to say enemy of truth. It was on this show first where I said, don't call them the enemy of the people, because then they all whine and say, oh, it sounds so so we call them the enemies of truth because

the mainstream media is the enemy of truth. But they say that CNN had their whole Apples Versus Bananas campaign, and there's this focus on how Trump we're always sharing the media about how Trump is wrong when it comes to facts, and what we see from the fact checkers is an embarrassment. These fact checkers, so called fact check

fact checkers in the media cannot help themselves. They will find a way even when Trump is saying something that is true, even when he's right, they will find a way to make it seem like what he said isn't true, even if it is accurate. You know, you go through this and time and again. Here, let me give you a few. There's actually, ah, what is it? This is it? Yeah? John Nulty over at Breitbart pulled up a few of these, and you look at them, and they keep doing things

like they'll say, here we go. Here's here's the fact check. President Trump said that the United States was making it clear to China that can no longer steal jobs in intellectual property from American companies. This is true, mister Trump has placed punishing tariffs or whatever, and then the fact check says President Trump, Sorry, President Trump. Is a claim that a border barrier in San Diego almost completely ended

illegal crossings. New York Times says this is misleading. Border apprehensions decreased by YadA YadA, but According to the Congressional Research Service, the primary fens by itself did not have a discernible impact on the influx of unauthorized aliens come across the border. This is idiocy. How do you prove I mean, they build a fence, crossings decreased, and they're saying, whoa, but we can't prove the fence of the reason the crossings decreased. Well, gee, or we're just going to separate

cause and effect. Here, here's another fact check for New York Times. President Trump claimed the American troops have been fighting the Middle East for almost nineteen years. This is false. It has been almost eighteen years. Okay, I mean, you know, thanks for fact checking that. But you know, I obviously that's a that's an honest and honest error. I think that they could they could ease it up a little bit. Um.

There are so many of these. My one of my when I say my favorites, one of the most egregious ones. I'm just trying to find this. When I was I was talking all these fact checks where they they're just dishonest, and it's so clear, it's so clear that they do not care that they're obviously part of here we go. Trump claimed that Holocaust survivors this was a real thing. From Washington Post. Trump claimed that Holocaust survivors viewed the

American soldiers liberating Dachau as angels. They gave him four pinocchios. You know why the liberating forces consisted entirely of human beings. They are fact checking rhetorical flourish. They are fact checking figures of speech. And even when they fact check something and it turns out that it is factually accurate, they will add this other layer to it of well, yes that's true. But yes that's true. But that's not fact checking.

That's editorializing. That's a very different thing. Right. It is not the same thing to do a fact check as it is to say, well, yeah, but I don't like here's that. One of the pieces this is from David Harsanyi, the state of American fact checking is completely useless. With a veneer of impartiality, fact checkers engage in a uniquely dishonest style of partisanship. And yeah, that this is what they do it. He goes through how they do this

partisan talking point masquerading as a fact check. That's one thing they do fact checking subjective political assertions you know, I'm the best, I'm the best pizzeria in the world is not a fact checkable thing. If I own a pizzeria, I'm allowed to say that, you know, that's my opinion. Man. They do this all the time, though, They act like morons, just so they can have some opening to quote fact check Trump when really what they mean is opinion check Trump.

They don't like what he says, they don't like how he says it, and so with this this falsehood of actual inaccuracy, they will try to undermine him and go after him. It's it's disgusting, it's disgusting. But yeah, the fact checkers are ridiculous. PolitiFact all these Washington posts, oh the fact they're They're just yet another politicized partisan instrument, and they were making fools of themselves last night. I give the fact checkers a million pinocchios. How about that.

We do have to have control of our borders. You've got to say to the undocumented workers, you have to say, look, you've broken the law. You didn't come here the way you were supposed to. So this is not going to be a free ride. It's not gonna be some instant amnesty what's gonna happen is you are going to pay a significant fine, you are going to learn English, you are going to you are going to go to the back of the line so that you don't get ahead

of somebody who was in Mexico City applying illegally. All of that is a lie. That was Obama back in two thousand and nine talking about illegal immigration. And isn't it fascinating how he says, look, we need to control our borders and illegal immigrants did something wrong because he knows that that's what the American people think. We're not okay with illegal immigration. We don't think that this is

just something that people should be able to do. But the pretense that we're united on that falls apart when you listen to these other things that he says about you're gonna pay a fine, you're gonna go to the back of the line, you're gonna none of that is true. They're not going to be any fines. In fact, a lot of people believe that if you if you legalize illegals, they will they will try to get retroactive tax benefits

or the work that they've done here. I mean, there's gonna be so many ways they're going to get on Obamacare. I mean, there's so many ways that they will they will immediately benefit. And the things that he says about the enforcement mechanisms, about what they'll do to prevent these things from happening again, right, we'll prevent this kind of illegal immigration from occurring. None of that is going to come through. None of that is a reality. None of

that is serious. Right. So you know, here we have a circumstance where Obama back in two thousand, ten years ago, ten years ago, is saying undocumented workers have broken the law, you know, illegal aliens, They've broken the law. It's a problem. We can't be okay with this, we don't like this, etc. Et cetera. Okay, fine, And then beyond that, beyond that, you go to today and you hear what Trump is

saying about it. And why is it that Trump's position on this is considered moral, racist, evil, and terrible when the only real difference between Trump and Obama on immigration is that Trump means what he says and says what he means. Obama says things, doesn't mean them, and some of the things he says aren't true. Here's what Trump said on the border in illegal immigration last night, play seven.

This is a moral issue. Klawless state of our southern border is a threat to the safety, security, and financial well being of all America. Tonight, I am asking you to defend our very dangerous southern border out of love and devotion to our fellow citizens and to our country. Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living their lives behind walls and gates and guards. Working class Americans are left to pay the price for mass illegal immigration.

Tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate. It is actually very cruel. What about what Trump says is wrong there? It's true the Pelosi's of the world, the wealthy, disconnected, elitist politicians and media personalities and Hollywood types, and you know, they all say that they want open borders, but they don't live in neighborhoods where people who are illegal are

going to live. They might have illegals as as cooks or maids or gardeners, as many of them I'm sure have and probably still do, but they're not going to be affected. Their day to day life won't be affected negatively because of the drain on schools and hospitals. I mean just just go to it. Go to a city emergency room. I told you, and I had to go to an eye hospital for an eye emergency. All these people there that are in line. This is a New York City and there yeah, a lot of some of

them are there and they're on Medicaid. But I can tell from talking to them and hearing them because you're behind them in line and you can hear the discussions going on that you know they don't have status and they're there to get pretty basic medical care for you know,

eye stuff, whatever, whatever, maybe whatever. Maybe the reason they're they're getting essentially prescription glasses in some cases, Well, if you're sitting there and you you know, want someone to pull a pencil out of your eyeball, you don't really want to have to sit behind a hundred people who are there because they want to see if they need reading glasses. But that's what happens in rs standard medical care in urban parts of the country, in major cities.

A lot of it is with people that are illegal aliens because they're not going to quality for health insurance, so where do they go? And they're not going to qualify for Medicaid, so they go to the er this is what happens. And I just wish there was greater honesty when we're talking about the immigration issue, with one what the Democrats have been saying for a long time their positions are, and also what the realities of illegal

immigration across the country really are like for people. You know, Obama was saying illegal immigration was bad, but then he said, oh, you know, and people need to be punished were here illegally, but none of the punishments were real. And they just wanted amnesty because the only certainty, as we know from what happened with Reagan back in nineteen eighty six, the only certainty is the amnesty. Everything else is up for discussion, debate, lawsuits.

They were still having court cases as of twenty eleven relating to the Reagan amnesty from nineteen eighty six. Okay, think about that. You're gonna tell me that DACA and DAPPA and this other stuff that they're proposing deferred action for the child for childhood arrivals, right for the dreamers. Do you think it's just going to stop at the dreamers? That's laughable. But the Democrats used to lie about how

they want a secure border, and they wanted punishment. Now, they they just are so close to open borders that it's hard from even keep a straight face when they talk about this. I mean, the question that I always want to post the Democrats is why do you why do you disapprove of illegal immigration? You think illegal immigrants are better than Americans? All they do is health the economy, less crime than than Americans. You think illegal immigrants are

better than Americans. So why shouldn't we just want and there's no downside? Why shouldn't we want an endless flow of illegal immigrants into this country and illegal aliens? I want to know what Nancy Pelosi's answer to that is. You know, they'd stammer, heh, yeah, we have a process. They always fall back on there's a process and we want an orderly system. But that's just a talking point.

They don't care what the process is. They just fall back on that because they can't actually get They don't want to go on record and say that illegal immigration does result in crime, does result in problems, human smuggling, enriching the cartels, you know, all kinds of misery and suffering that comes from this process. They don't want to

talk about any of that. So what Obama used to be able to say, though, is now racist for any Republicans to say anyone who makes the claim that illegal immigration should end and that we should take action to completely shut it down, they are now open to charges of racism. Because the Democrats no longer feel the need to even say that stuff. They just won't talk about it.

I am concerned here that the Republican Party is going to get its way once again, because there will be a lot of talk about, Oh, if Trump declares an emergency and it goes in the courts, they'll say, oh, we tried really hard. It's not over. It's not over. The President should do everything in his power up to and including not just a declaration of emergency, but just

say build the wall. Just do it. And if you see you know and coulter Man, she is feisty, she is a fight and she's a smart she's a smart cookie, and she is feisty, and she's run around saying why doesn't Trump just tell them to do it? And I

think that's a good question. I also I talk to the governor of Puerto Rico today and the governor we interviewed on my show, and the government the governor said, you know that he essentially he's worried that Trump is going to raid funds earmark for Puerto Rican recovery for the wall. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't think that's gonna happen. But people are already aware that there might be some ways that the president could, under

existing appropriations try to get additional fence built. I mean, I think that would be a great thing. I'm all for it if he could, But it does not. It's not enough to just throw in the talent say all right, you know it's not on the courts, we'll leave it there. Uh. Trump needs to do everything that he can here because this issue is also a reminder of what can government solve anything? Can government keep its faith and keep covenant with its own citizens? Why do we go through all

of this? Why do we care about politics? Why do we vote for these people? Why do we have this system of participation in place? You know? So that's I think all very very important. That's important to look at. Now. If Trump can't do this, what can he do? What is he able to do? Investigation? Did you say Adam Schiff? Oh never heard of him, So that wouldn't make partisan parties are not only transactions to us. I don't know what basis would he do that. He has no basis

to do that. He's just a political hack who's trying to build a name for himself. And I think that's fine because that's what they do. But there would be no reason to do that. No other politician has to go through that. It's called presidential harassment, and it's unfortunate and it really does hurt our country. It is presidential harassment.

One of the most damaging legacies of this era in American politics, one that's going to stay with us, I think for a long time, is the obvious, naked utilization of law enforcement powers and authority for political purposes at the very highest level, both going after your political enemies at the highest level, in this case Trump, the president, and people at the highest levels of law enforcement FBI and the DOJ pushing this through and allowing this to happen.

You know, Jeff Sessions, as much as I like Jeff, should have seen what was happening here and stepped in. There was never a need for a special counsel in the first place. This was an obvious political hit from the beginning, and this is what you know, this is a recurring theme. This is what Democrats do. They turn to us and they say, oh, but aren't you aren't you going to be the people who abide by the rules. Don't you want to be the honorable people, the good people.

They use our honor and integrity against us all the time. They say, oh, don't you respect the need for answers of Russian intervention in the election. Russian intervention The election was a joke. If it wasn't a joke, the Obama administration wouldn't have let it go without a peep until Hillary lost. It was only what Hillary lost that all of a sudden, we're supposed to care so much about Russian intervention, Russian memes on Facebook, and I don't even

like this Russian interference in the election. That overstates the problem. You know, what we're really talking about here is some Russian fake news on websites. That's the huge threat to our democracy. Some Russian fake news to websites and hacking of DNC emails that all they really had to do with was Bernie Sanders getting completely you know, blanked over by Hillary Clinton's people and the Democrat apparatus. But that wasn't some big game change, right, and we all knew

that was the case. I mean, the Podesta email, There's nothing in there that was that important. All it showed is that they were completely in the tank, that the Democrats and the arbiters of the Democrat primary, we're in the tank for Hillary. But this whole notion of oh, we need a full accounting of Russian interference in the election,

here's the full accounting. The Russians messed around, did some hacking here and there of personal email accounts or corporate email accounts, and put some stuff on Facebook that supported different political candidates to try to sew further divisions in an already very divided country. I mean, it's just this is it's all complete crap. It's complete crap, and it now is in a phase. And I have I have

something to tell you about. I'll hold it till the top of the next hour, but I've gotten some information recently about this that thinks very interesting, some information you probably won't hear anywhere else, or at least, well, you'll have to wait and see. But the shift maneuver here and what the Democrats are going to do is they're all going to try to make a name for themselves

by being the ones who are the most ruthless. With the law enforcement and investigatory investigative powers that they have, they're going to go after Trump in every way that they can't. They're just going to try to bury him in legal nonsense. They're just going to try to take all of his people. And this is lawfare, this is lawfair. This is what democrats do because these people have no scruples, they have no principles, they don't care what they're doing

to the system. And a major legacy of what they're doing to Trump is that people now know that those in power on the left will abuse the law itself. They will abuse law enforcement and the discretion of prosecutors to go after their political enemies. This is third world banana republic stuff. This is not what you would expect to be happening in the United States of America. And we should be greatly troubled that this is going on

in such an obvious, obvious fashion. Mueller's going to have nothing. They've got more for your on that. A second, the investigations aren't going to end. The investigations as far as the liberals are concerned or just beginning. They're going to go after this on Trump and that on Trump, and you know what's amazing is they're never going to get anything that ends his presidency. And all they're really doing is radicalizing their left wing base even further with hatred

against this president and venom against this president. That's that's what they're doing. And they they've then pretend to be the ones that want, you know, a return to normalization and politics. They pretend to be the ones who want things to be you know, won't want this country to be more united, They don't want a united country. They are doing everything they can to tear down Trump and everybody who voted for him, everybody who believes in what

he's doing. You Know, someone told me today somebody that I really I really like and respect, and as it was in and off the record, so I'm not going to say who it was, but let's you know, Trump is an imperfect vessel, but he's an imperfect vessel for a righteous cause. I mean, I want to make a bumper sticker of that and just just hand it out

to people. That's exactly right, and no vessel is going to be perfect, and that's what I think people that support Trump have understood for a long time the politicians that present themselves is beyond reproach and just interested in being public servants. That I've never made any mistakes, It's all, It's all a facade, It's a fraud. Everybody is flawed. Yes, not everyone's as flawed as everybody else, I mean their degrees. But so Trump is not not a perfect person, and

nobody's a perfect person. What is he trying to do in office? And how is that benefiting the American people? As I've told you, the more successful he is, the more the Democrats hate him for. It got to start every day the best way, with some black Rifle coffee. How could you at this point not want to taste black rifle coffee. I've been telling you about it for how many months? How many years? Now? This is my coffee of choice. It's delicious, and I'm a little bit

of a coffee snob. I'm not gonna lie. I don't like the gross swill that you get in some places. I like good coffee, and I like a company owned and operated by veterans who love this country, are patriots and are building a great American brand. Also, black Rifle gives a portion of their sales to veteran and first responder causes. So these guys are getting it done at every level. Wake Up with America's Coffee, Black Rifle Coffee. Visit Black Riflecoffee dot com, slash buck and receive fifteen

percent off your order. That's Black Riflecoffee dot com, slash buck for fifteen percent off Again, wake Up with America's Coffee, Black Rifle Coffee. Go to Black Riflecoffee dot com, slash bucke You'll get fifteen percent off your order. These are the guys you should be drinking coffee from every day. Well, I think it's a matter of perspective, and that's the

president's perspective. If you opened up a newspaper or turned on a television set every day for two straight years and saw accusations that you are an agent of the Russian government or colluding with Russia or obstructing justice despite the absence of any evidence or charges to that, you might call it a ridiculous investigation too. So do I think it's fair for him to refer to it that way from his perspective? Absolutely, of course, the Muller investigation

is ridiculous. I'm not going to be satisfied when it stops either. I've got some things to tell you team, some things to tell you for your ears only, you across the country and around the world. I have it on good authority. I can't tell you obviously, it can't tell you the source. But I have it on very good authority that the Muller probe, and you've never heard me say this before, the Muller Probe is rapidly coming to a close. As in, if everything goes according to now,

that could change. And everybody. The thing is, they always tell you this. Oh, but you know when you talk to people that are that are in the know on this, they will say, well, if they open another in, open another file or another pull another thread or whatever. As of right now, the Muller probe is going to be over this month, and I have that from people who

know the Mueller Probe will be over this month. I also think that you can expect that there will be some and on this one, I still need to do a little bit of additional sourcing and get in this a little bit further. But when we know the full scope of how out of control some elements in the FBI. It was really the FBI, by the way. I mean, DJ was involved, but there were at Komey's FBI there was rot. I mean, there was really bad stuff going on,

political targeted, bad bad stuff. And I know I'm speaking slightly in vague terms here, but i don't want to tell you things that are not rock solid yet. And I've been telling you for a long time, and you've heard it from others as well, that that Komey's a Comey's a dirt bag. The stuff he's been doing is you know, the stuff he did rather and then even when he left left his position, he's shown us exactly

who he is. He's a partisan hack who's only out for himself, and he did tremendous damage to public confidence in the FBI. There's worse stuff. There's one story in particular that I I'm still trying to track down. I'm still trying to make sure that I source it out before I might break it on the Hill and then be able to tell you about it here on the show, or rather I'll break it here on the show and I'll have it posted on the Hill. But the FBI

was running some rogue political operations. Really and needs to be held to account for it if what I'm told is true, and you know I don't. I don't push things that are are weak or that are innuendo or conspiracy or any of that stuff. It's really bad. It's really bad what was going on the FBI, and there needs to be instituten See here's the thing. There needs

to be institutional accountability for it. There needs to be an understanding that at the top level of the FBI, there were decisions made among multiple senior FBI officials that cast a lot of doubt on the FBI's ability to operate as a nonpartisan law enforcement investigation our premiere law enforcement law enforcement agency rather in this country, our premiere one. I think that when people know the full scope and scale of what's going on, they will be utterly appalled.

I mean, they will just be in shock. So that's coming, and it's coming relatively soon, and this Mueller probe will end, and when it ends, we will see that the Democrats, just as they've been exposed for being complete phonies, hypocrites, hacks, with this political catastrophe that's been unfolding in Virginia, where they might I mean, by all rights they should have three senior that the three most senior senior officeholders in the state of Virginia should be resigning, all three of

them by liberal rules. I'm not even saying that I agree with those rules necessarily put by liberal rules, all three of them should be resigning and a Republicans should be taking their place. It's not going to happen. In fact, I think none of them are going to resign. That's the new which just shows us. This is why, this is why you can't allow Democrats to play this. Oh don't you have scruples and morals? Republicans? Why don't you get more angry about when Trump FIBs about this or that?

Why don't you turn on the president when he tells a little a little lie about this or that. Don't you have principles? Yeah, we do have principles. We also know what you're trying to do across the other side of the aisle, Democrats, and we know how you play the game rules for us, not for you, and we're not going to let that happen anymore. With Trump though, which you'll see is that the Mullar probe was always was always, always, always nothing but an excuse in a

pretext to go after Trump. Because even when the probe does not bring any charges against Trump or any of his top people, when there's nothing to see for collusion, there was no collusion. It was a lie, a lie, a lie. Even with all of that, they will continue. The Democrats will will act like there was Russia collusion. They'll say there need to be house investigations. They need the Southern District of New York, which is full of libs, by the way, full of libs, the Southern District of

New York. They need that to continue investigating the president, continue investigating his deals. They will not stop. We are entering a period of trench warfare against the Trump administration. They don't care what the truth is. So just grab your helmet and get ready. Get in the trench with me. It's gonna get crazy out there. And even after the Muller probends, AARPS very well known, right, it's senior organization,

get some discounts and stuff. But the park that's not as well known about AARPS, that it's a liberal organization. You know, think of this like you think of so many other institutions where they actually have progressive politics. Even if they don't say. So that's why I recommend that you stick with an organization that gives you all the

upside and also conservative policy. AMAC. Why AMAC Well, AMAC has over one point five million Americans who have joined, and they realize that their membership in AMAC pushes forward the same kinds of policies, whether it's fixing the border or advocating for seniors that they want. And I think that AMAC is good for you too. You should check it out. Join AMAC today as they fight the good fight.

You can join at AMAC dot us slash buck. That's AMAC dot us slash buck because forget AARP, AMAC is better. It's better for you, it's better for America. To those people who are criticizing the president, how well did you do with rocket Man? So yeah, I'm very hopeful that when meeting this new meeting will lead to a breakthrough process. A meeting with Trump and he didn't meet with anybody else. Interesting, maybe he believes that he's serious. Anyway, I think he's scared.

If you want to get this guy's attention, He's not like Iron. Iron's on a religious mission. You know, if they ever get NUSO use them. This guy is trying to have an insurance policy to keep the mafia state going. But if Trump gives him an alternative between life without nuclear weapons that is safe and secure, he'll take it. If the other alternative is to lose your life. So here's where foreign policy needs a bit more attention. On

the right. We need to stop accepting that what people have done in the past, including on our side, so to speak, the GOP Republicans, previous Republican presidents, that just because something was the way that it was done, it does not mean it should always continue to be done that way. For example, North Korea, there's a lot of criticism right now of President Trump from Democrats and some Republicans on his outreach to Kim Jong on a North

Korea for talks. Now, before I even get into where I think this is going and how well it's going to go or not well it's going to go, let's understand that stretching back to Kim Jong Ill in the nineteen nineties and the earliest days of the North Korean nuclear program, successive administrations have been lound on this issue.

They have all looked foolish. Madeline Albright gave like the sign basketball to Kim Jong Ill and there was you know, the Clinton administration, and then the Bush administration tried to tighten the screws a little bit, and then the Obama administration really did nothing. I mean, the Obama administration talked about a pivot to Asia, but it's a pivot that

never really occurred. And as I look at this now, I see that there's a pushback, a pushback from I think some of the previous foreign policy gurus, such as they are, the foreign policy consensus makers out there that Trump takes this non traditional approach. Well, you have to remember that the approaches of the past, which would have

been the traditional approaches to North Korea have failed. The North Korean nuclear and missile program has advanced without any meaningful cessation for the last going on thirty years, just keeps going up and up and up. Their missiles are being shot further and further, their nuclear capability is increasing, and their ability to put a miniaturized nuclear warhead on a missile that they could then fire at the continental

United States or Hawaii or Guam for that matter. You know, they think of well, or Japan or South South Korea already they could hit with They don't need to use nukes to destroy South Korea. But this is where you have to separate yourself from what the so called consensus is because the consensus has failed. There's no question that consensus has failed. People who say that North Korea has

been contained don't know what they're talking about. Yes, North Korea hasn't been able to seize territory outside of its borders.

But North Korean aggression has continued, its nuclear program has advanced, and until Trump came along, there was really no hope of anything happening to stop this other than an actual war with North Korea, an actual fight with the North Koreans, which is not something that we would want for a whole myriad of reasons, at least of which is the massive losses of human life on the North Korean side of the border or South Korean side of the border.

We could lose troops who knows where else they fire missiles, chemical weapons, biological weapons. I mean, the North Korean state is effectively a state built for the purpose of warfare to unite the Korean peninsula. That is the reason for the existence of the North Korean state. I mean, that is why the North Korean regime believes that it has a right to stay in power. So who knows what they have stockpiled and what they'd be willing to do, what they'd be willing to use in any kind of

a conflict. Trump has tried to take us off that pathway, and he may fail, he may not. But the important point is that you see that somebody like Trump to come along and look at this problem with fresh eyes without being concerned about Hey, do the people at the think tanks and the different international journalists do they think that this is smart? Do they agree with what I'm doing? He comes to this from a very different perspective. He says, Nope,

that's not the way to look at this. Doesn't matter what those people think. It doesn't matter how they view the problem set because they've been wrong for a very long time. He comes at it and says, how do you disrupt this? How do you change it? He looks at this the way a businessman would look at a failing restaurant or a failing development project. You don't just show up and say, well, the people that are supposed to know stuff. They say that this is how I

have to do it. Well, if the people are supposed to know stuff are getting it wrong? Why are you listening to them? And this is something that is particularly powerful about the way Trump approaches a lot of different problems. So Lindsey Graham is right when he says that these people that the criticism of Trump on this issue comes from people who don't really have a leg to stand on,

all right, And so that that's part one. And another part of this is you see the outrage at at Tulsi Gabbard, who is running for president of the Democrats side, and you know, I kind of like Tulsi Gabbert. You know, she serves. There's some stuff about Tulsie that I'm I'm kind of a fan of. It has been pointed out that she looks a little bit like Miss Molly. People have said this to me. I agree, I mean, Miss Molly is lovelier in my in my opinion, of course,

but there's some there's some similarity between the two. So there's that. But she also is on the left a little bit of a rogue when it comes to foreign policy. She had this meeting with a sad years ago. The left has never let her forget it, and they're very very clear on how they don't want Tulsie Gabbard to really even be a part of the Democrat you know, she's one of the few candidates who's come out on

the Democrat side of things. And they're not saying, oh, she's adding to the No, no, no, no no. They don't want her to be a part of this at all. They don't want her name to be in this race. They clearly are not in favor of having Tulsie Gabbard's viewpoint representative. And here let's play a very short SoundBite for you of something that got them really upset. And I think she's actually speaking a truth that very few

people are willing to speak these days. And it crosses over into a somewhat trump Trumpian view of our foreign policy goal of play fourteen. Assad is not the enemy of the United States because the United Syria does not pose a direct threat to the United States. She got hammered for that. I mean, they are absolute lee all

over her for this. And you know, on Morning Joe, there's this whole back and forth with with you know, with with Mika and Joe, and she says, you know, he's saying, well, do we, you know, do we call him an adversary or an enemy or what word would you use? They're they're trying to sound bite foreign policy, which is not usually a good thing to do. It's the complexities of foreign policy usually make sound bite approaches insufficient.

But Assad is not, in fact. Assad is not in fact an enemy of the United States in the sense that we should be making war on him. Assad is not e there And people oh about Asad is so horrible, Yeah, Sad's horrible. A lot of people are horrible. Are we Are we going to go to war with everybody who's terrible out there? Are we about to go to war with? You know? Would we have gone to war with Zimbabwe? Terrible country? In terms of the regime? Are we going to go to war with Cuba? Are we going to

go to war with? You know, when you say the term enemy, you could talk about an opponent or or an adversary, but that doesn't really matter. When you start saying enemy, now you're talking about someone that we have to take action against because they are a threat to us. Right your enemy is a threat to you. Is the Assad regime a threat to the United States right now? I think the answer is no. Is the Assad regime a problem for us? Is it a vile detestable regime

that we wish was gone. Yes. Yes, So that I think is where Tulsi Gabbard is trying to draw some kind of a you know, some kind of a line the sand, if you will. Because Tulsi Gabbert is saying, look, Assad, it's not us foreign policy for Assad to be overthrown by force. We're not involved in that, and we don't even want that to happen. Here's the truth. And she gets at this, and this goes right in the face of a lot of the foreign policy media consensus out there.

We don't want the Assad regime to collapse if it means a resurgence of Islamist factions and forces which are the dominant the second you get out of Kurdish areas and the people in the media they don't understand this, and they don't know and they don't care. The second you leave Kurdish areas, you cannot have a Kurdish force in charge for long. You cannot have the Kurds overseeing

Sunni Arabs in Syria. What that means is that if the Assad regime were to, let's say completely collapse, it's not like we could count on our Kurdish allies that fought against Isis to go all the way to the Mediterranean, plus the Turks would completely lose their minds over this. Assad is the government of Syria, he has won the Syrian Civil War. Do we have to have diplomatic relations with them? Do we have to be cozy with them?

Of course not. But is there something that we need to accept here as we are making peace with the Taliban? The Trump administration is trying to do that right now. We should also understand that, you know, we have to work within the realities of the world that we live in and not the world that we wish we live in. And I think Tulsi Gabbard brings an interesting voice into this foreign policy discussion. It's so easy to say Assad is terrible. Yeah, we all know that Assad is terrible.

Now what Trump I think realizes this, which is why he says, We're not staying there. This is not our fight. We're not going to continue to be propping up these not just you know, the different governments, but keeping these countries from completely imploding. Not our fight. Our men and women shouldn't be doing this. It's not their mission set anymore. So a little bit of foreign policy heresy out there can be a good thing. We'll be right back. I got some very tragic news today I have to share

with all of you. Some of you probably already know, especially those of you who know me from my days at the Blaze. Doc Thompson. Doc Thompson, who is a veteran of many radio stations and somebody that I worked with a lot back at the Blaze. He was He was killed. He was killed earlier today. It was a shock when I saw this. I've had I've had people from the Blaze reaching out all day to day and they're just reeling. As you can imagine, Doc was. It

was a terrible accident. It's a terrible tragedy. Doc was out jogging and from what I was told, he was jogging with his headphones in and did not hear he crossed some train tracks and did not know. I did and hear that the train was coming. So Michael Doc Thompson, forty nine years old, has passed away. He was he was killed. Glennbeck wrote, there are no words. Doc will be greatly missed. Our prayers go out to his family. And he was a one in a million, one in

a million talents. Doc and I knew each other pretty well. We had worked together for years at the Blaze. In fact, we even at one point had talked about doing a show together at the Blaze that we were going to call the Blaze After Dark, which we were going to be having beers for me tequila and sit around and talk about news the day with a few of our fellow Blaze Saltier Blaze folks, and we even gave it

a shot. One day we did a sit down radio room with Doc Thompson, Skip Lacombe, myself, Jay Everin, and Glenn Beck coming in and out when he could during an event out out in Salt Lake City. This is one of those shocks that when it happens, you have a hard time believing that it's happened. I was stunned today. You know, Doc was a good man, he was a colleague and we were we were friends for years, and

I just can't imagine. You know, he's got a wife, and he's got a wife and family that he leaves behind, so very very tough. U. There is a go FUNDI page that's up. I know that the family is in a is in a difficult spot right now, not just emotionally and you know that with the tragedy they're dealing with, but also financially, I've been told that, you know, this

is going to be a real burden. So anything you can do, I know a lot of you are Doc Thompson listeners, and a lot of you are people that have enjoyed what he did for for so many years. Anything you can do to help, I'm sure would be greatly greatly appreciate. And obviously just even you, your prayers for his family would be very much appreciated. You know, it's been a tough couple of months in this corner of conservative media that I operate in. We lost Bree

Peyton to the flu. And Bree was a frequent contributor to my show on Hill TV, and with somebody that I was looking forward to working with Moore, and you know, she was young and just a total sweetheart, absolutely beautiful. Diet of the flu, rising conservative media star and now Doc Thompson, another conservative media personality that I've worked with for and known for many years, and he got killed out for a jog hit by a train. You just don't know, folks. I don't have any insights. I don't

have any particular wisdom to shed here. You just know every day is precious, and every moment you can spend with the people that matter in your life is something that you should try to cherish as much as possible because stuff like this happens. I feel terrible for his family, but i just know he's in a better place, and I'm sorry that I'll never get a chance again to do another radio segment with my whole friend Doc Thompson.

So we'll be back at a moment, Team Buck. It's time for roll call, another day, another role call, my friends. You know how I love to hear from all of you across the country and in some cases around the world. I feel like we haven't had a call in from Team Buck South Korea or Team Buck Afghanistan in a little while. So if you're out there listening, you know, let's let's get little shout out Team Buck Austria yah kutintag,

Team Buck Germany also yah kutintag. What else we have we've had obviously Team Buck Canada, a and some other places. It basically, if you live in an English speaking country, you're in a military base or Israel, then you pretty much might listen to the show. So that's that's the good news. We got that going for us, which is nice. Let's get to it, my friends. First, up here, Philip rights Buck. I'm a bit younger than you. We were

in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time. I've loved your show and have since the Saturday broadcasts since I started listening. Rather on your final Saturday broadcast. Oh okay, cool like you. I'm a dog lover. We got Pepper shortly after my last employment to Afghanistan, and she's helped me immensely with the demons that came back with me from overseas. This past Tuesday, February fifth, Pepper lost the use of her hind legs out of nowhere and she

needs surgery. I was wondering if you would share my go fund meat with the team. My wife and I have our first baby on the way, so this is an unexpected expense that is not optional for me. I hate to ask the team for help, but I know it's hard to get help without asking. I appreciate anything you can do best, Phil, Phil As we speak, I am sending this to producer Mike and we are going to put it up on our social platform so we can try to get the word out so you can

see if you can get some help here. Thank you for your service, my friend, and thank you very much for reaching out and also for listening to the show. I do appreciate it, and it is indeed posted on Facebook, and folks, I appreciate whenever you ask me for help with causes or to raise money. We do what we can, but there's there are limitations to how much I'm able

to help. Look, I wish I had some of the big time radio host money where I could just send any of you that really needed a check, But unfortunately, I'm gonna need some of you to send me a check at the rate we're going here. Alrighty, just kidding, the show's kicking butt. I know, I know, self deprecating isn't always the way to go. Let's get back into our roll call here for a moment. Sorry, I had I posted that while we were on air, so it is up on Facebook dot com. Slash buck sexton and

writes two things. First, I want to know who's backing AOC who arranged for her to run for Congress. I don't believe a twenty eight year old bartender just a side of one day to jump into the political big leagues. I'm sure it's a follow the money situation, but I haven't heard anyone ponder or dig into who is the power behind this woman. Second, regarding the New York abortion bill, all I can see in my mind's eyes Governor Cromla's face and the Carl character and ghost being dragged into

the depths of hell by shadowy demons. Well, and that's pretty it's a pretty intense scene. And I think I know what you're going forward that As to aoc I don't know if there's anything really be if there was anything behind her other than that she has really harnessed this no nothing socialist millennialism that is popular because they control the different outlets of our culture. Unfortunately, the Left has seized the telegraph office when it comes to it's

an old expression from the Russian Revolution. They've seized the telegraph office when it comes to all of the cultural programming that is mainstream. And that means that people like Ocasio Cortez can honestly get away with not knowing very much, not being particularly well read, and having some very damaging ideas for the country. But it's appealing to people who don't know any better. Sharon writes, this is the greatest State of the Union since Reagan. And Sharon also, it's

my favorite State of the Union moments. It seemed like every time Nancy Pelosi stood up to clap, she checked the paper copy of the speech and was late sitting back down. Yeah, Pelosi was checking the paper copy obviously as a little way of I think undermining the president, like, oh, when is this going to end? But there's a fair amount of that going on. So there you have it. We have Buck. Oh that's me, Don writes Buck. Checkout

US Law Title ten, section eight two four. It allows the military to build fences in drug corridors at the request at the request of any government agency, no emergency required. I will check this out. It's on the Cornell dot Edy Support for counterdrug activities and activities counter transnational crime.

This is currently the law. The Secretary Defense may provide support for the counter drug activities or activities to counter transnational organized crime of any State department, of any other department or agency of the federal government, or any state, local, tribal, or foreign law enforcement agency, for any of the purposes set forth in the subsection, and then it goes into describe transnational organized crime, and yeah, yeah, look it's you're right.

I've heard this before, and you're giving me the specific statute. It is the law. The president can order them to build a fence. The president should order them to build defence, order the federal government to do so. But keep in mind that whether it's through a national emergency or the invocation of existing statute, they're still going to claim that this is illegal, and they're still going to challenge it right away. So that's what I wanted to just get

out there as a response to what you're saying. Hold on a second. Here we have Lance, who writes buck what up, pham, keep up the good work your political analysis and sense if humor. Crack me up. You make my commute home much easier. By the way, if you want to get in phenomenal shape, start training with jiu jitsu. You'll be hulked out by summer. Thank you, Lance, Lance.

Jiu jitsu seems cool to me. I'm hoping that I can switch my schedule around here pretty soon where I don't lack knowledge about how to train, and I don't lack the will, I do lack the time and the sleep and I have for the last nine months or so, which has been a frustration for me. But I think that's going to change soon. It's not going to change, has nothing to do with this show, but we'll see what the future holds. Eric right hey Buck. Speaking of

Super Bowl commercials, people say the Verizon commercial was good. Yes, it was nice to recognize emergency services, but it was more of them kissing up the emergency services for when they got called out for throttling their service during the California wildfires.

I don't know, I don't I don't know who you're talking about, but let me know. Thank you for the heads up, Mike Rites. I've found this in an Irish pub in Wisconsin. Sexton Single malt Irish Whiskey. Indeed, Sexton Single malt Irish Whiskey. I'm gonna tell you something.

I do not love the Sexton single malt Irish Whiskey logo because it is a little macabre. And I think it's because a sexton technically technically a sexton is a grave digger for a church. So and then whenever I say that, I think of a friend of mine who told me that he went to a monster Truck rally once and thought it was just amazing how many adorable little ten year olds were yelling grave dagger, Grave dagger with like the monster truck. Grave digger is apparently a thing.

But the sexton also collects the alms at a church or the offerings, not the olmst pardon me, the offerings at a church and cleans up the church. He's kind of like the church janitor. So you are listening to the syndicated church janitor radio show here the Bucks Exton show. There you go. A sextant is a device that uses astronomy essentially to tell you where you are on the sea. It's a nautical a nautical early geolocation device, if you will,
