Donald Trump enters a NATO summit with a mic drop moment, decides to let some of our European allies no no more free rides Montfrere no more. Deciding that somebody else is going to
pay the bills for your defense. Time to step up. Plus, the anti Kavanaugh resistance is increasingly unhinged. Will hit that and much more coming up on the buck Sexton Show. This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again The buck Sexton Show begins. No. Two roll wars on their full ward vocal stuff. The real storment together not a
part um. But how can you be together? What in country is getting its energy from the person you want protection against or rumber teams that you wanted to say that you understand that when we stand together. Also in dealing with Russia, we are stronger. I think, well, we have seen it's not you're just making Russia richer. Well, they're dealing with Russia making the rest of richer. So we're supposed to protect Germany, but they're getting their energy
from Russia. Explained that Germany is totally controlled by Russia. Because they will be getting from sixty to seventy percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline. And you tell me if that's appropriate, because I think it's not. And I think it's a very bad thing for NATA and I don't think it should have happened. And I think we have to talk to Germany about it. On top of that, Germany is just paying a little bit over one, whereas the United States and actual numbers is
paying four point two percent. Welcome to the buck, sex and show everybody. Donald Trump coming out swinging at this uh NATO summit, And I gotta tell you, I think it's about time. Why not have a heart to heart, Why not have an honest, no frills conversation with their European allies. They can handle it, right. These are developed countries. They've got serious militaries, they've got serious econoties. Remember d EU in its totality, has a bigger county than the
United States. So why do they look to us for their collective defense? Right? Why is this a just an article of faith in the international relations? Smart set? Well? Trump is asking these questions, and I gotta tell you it is. It is one of these days where you see some people are willing to ask why. Other people just want to sound smart. They just want to say what they're told to say, just want to be with
the cool kids in the cafeteria. And with with NATO, we we have a situation wherever it agrees, the Europeans are in defense terms being something of freeloaders. And if nothing else, why do we have NATO? I asked that question in all seriousness. The Soviet Union no longer exists, the Warsaw pack is not our concerned. NATO's the reason for NATO's existence no longer exists unless somebody really and truly believes that Russia is going to invade a sovereign
European nation anytime soon. Uh, there's no real explanation for what NATO is going to do. We can still have multilateral and bilateral defense treaties with any countries you want. And when you really get down to it, I'm trying to be a little contrained, a little provocative because Trump's out there, and so that means that you get the hysterical reaction from liberals there. Oh he's gonna destroy that, He's gonna destroy nd On, what's gonna happen here, Oh,
here we go. Christian arman Pool thinks it's unprecedented, blatant. It is unprecedented. It violates every norm of an alliance norm specifically, I'm talking about the captive and controlled by when he refers to Germany and Angela Merkel being controlled by Vladimir Putin and Russia. It is unprecedented language. It is a real threat to the alliance. Is it threats to the alliance? Why? Why is it a threat to the How is it a threat to the alliance? No
one saying alliance is going anywhere? But can't we think about this? Can we have a discussion about what the future of US European military cooperation should be. People keep saying this, They say, oh, you know he's doing He's doing Putin's bidding. And I say, hold on a second. Not only is that unfair and skipping way down the line and act No one's saying we're abandoning your European College. The one thing we're breaking alliances with with these countries.
We don't want to work with them anymore. We have deep bonds with our European partners, particularly the UK, but other countries too, The French, are Okay, A bunch of those European countries are nice, nice places to visit. But I also have to ask, you don't really think about this.
Would you want if if trying, if there was an incident involving Russian masca rof car, which is you know, warfare via concealment, right, trying to do some kind of they would create some disturbance, and then Russian paramilitaries are all of a sudden, you know, in a country like Latvia. I'm not saying we would abandoned. I'm not saying we wouldn't put sanctions on Russia, we wouldn't do things, But would you really would you want your son or daughter
to you know, get get para dropped. I know we don't really do that anymore, but you know I'll get get dropped off by see one thirty next door. And now we're we're gonna be fighting these Russian paramilitaries in lat Villa on on behalf of the Latvians. Um. I'm not saying no, I'm just saying, can we think about this a little bit? We think beyond just the the screeds in the hysteria, because what you see is anything that trumps involved in People don't want to have a
rational conversation. They don't want to have a reasonable discussion. NATO somehow becomes oh, it's terrible. Uh, look this is at the end of the day. And I'll be honest with you. Not a lot of people will. I'll be honest with you. The NATO conversation. It's just nothing's gonna change. It's just not really that interesting. What's interesting is the reaction to Trump being there and and Trump being Trump. But in terms of the policy shifts, what's really going
to come from this? You know, they just they're so dishonest. You know, they skip over this all the time. Putin for example, they say, is so close with Trump, and I know there's this meeting coming up, and everyone's like, oh, what are they gonna say to each other? The Trump administration has been willing to arm Ukrainian military with lethal weapons.
The Obama administration refused those weapons, including UH sniper rifles that we've been giving and an anti tank missiles, javal and anti tank missiles to the Ukrainian National Army to fight against Russian backed and Russian UH irregular separatists in Ukraine. Obama's team wouldn't do that. They backed off of that. You have sanctions in place on Russia. Still, you have the administration very clear that Russian aggression and bellicost behavior
is unacceptable. But there is this still, this, this this mass hysteria over Prutin and Trump. Putin and Trump they're they're best friends. I mean, does anybody really think for a second that Trump wouldn't turn on Putin on let's even assume they were friends. Trump wouldn't turn on Putin on a dime if he felt the least bit disrespected by him. You think Trump plays second fiddle the Putin at all in his mind, or would even would even
consider such a thing. No. I think what you had before with the Obama administration was eight years of a president who looked, acted, and sounded weak on foreign policy matters, and who Putin thought he could take to the cleaners and on foreign policy did just that right that he could just you know, just school them, Just school the Obama administration, take what they want, get away with a
lot of stuff. You'll notice that the sanctions they put on Obama didn't come until really, I mean the latest round of sanctions to say it was for election interference, but didn't happen the very late in the administration, and the stuff that they it about Georgia and about Crimea didn't have any effect on Russian foreign policy what the Russians accomplished in Syria because Obama was too busy appeasing the Iranians, you know, I mean, that's not discussed nearly enough.
I'm actually reading almost finished with a book right now which I will very I very much recommend all of you. It's called red Notice. Now, red notice is what they call an international arrest warrant an interpoll. So when a red notice is out on you, it means that INTERPOL, the international police agency, has been notified that you are to be arrested and you are to be uh. You
are to be transferred right extradited to a specific country. UH. Browder, who wrote the book Red Notice, talks about what it's like doing business in Russia and then leads you through the story of the Magnitsky Act for Sarah Gai Magnitsky,
who was a mild man nerds patriotic Russian. By the way, I really believed in the Russian state, believe in the Russian law, a model man of tax attorney who got on the wrong side of the Kremlin and some of the oligarchs because of a massive fraud that Browder helped expose through his business dealings. And then Magnitsky was held in the worst and most sort of inhumane Russian prison conditions.
He had all kinds of infections and was losing weight, and they would they they intentionally denied him medical treatment. He was in horrific suffering. And then when they finally transferred, I mean, this is the Russian way of doing this. I have no illusions about Russian Right. The Russian government is bad and does bad things. They're thugs, but they're thugs with a lot of nukes. We can't just you know, kick them around and treat them like they are a
bunch of punks. You know. We gotta let them know that, yeah we've got you know, we we can hit back too, but we can't just get injured with them every time we see them. Right. But I have no illusions about the Russian state. Neither's Trump. Now that's Pao. Back to mcnittskey for a moment here, and this was about a decade or so ago, actually, no less than that. Now, um, well, I think it was two thousand and it was during
the Obama administration. I'm forgetting this specific year. But so Magnitsky, this lawyer, is in Russian custody. They deny him medical treatment, and then finally, wh they're gonna give him medical treatment, and all the while you've got these press stories, the journalists are saying that Magnitsky is being held he's being held, uh in illegal detention. They in Russia, by the they
can hold you for a year without charging. You. Think about that next time you think that the U S system is not that great, just remember it's it's the best of very bad systems. Ah. But then they finally gonna give him medical treatment. Instead, they sent a bunch of riot police into his UH cell and beat him to death with the tons after he had been writhing in pain for months because of untreated he had kidney stones. I mean, just terrible stuff. Uh. And the Russians are
trying this is what the Russians do. They try to make examples of people. It's why they put you know, polonium and people sushi or whatever and whatever that radio radio active isotope was that they poisoned lit Vanenka was so and and and now Nova Chuck right, the the nerve agent that is has greatly sickened a number of people, including a an enemy of the Russian state. So I have no illusions about how bad the Russians are. Also, for my time in the CIA, trust me, I am
very aware. A lot of the top people in the agency, because of the Cold War, because the main adversary was the Soviet Union, had very colorful thoughts about the Russians, about the KGB, then the FSB uh and and yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of viciousness and a lot of thuggery that is part of the enterprise of the state in Russia. But there's one part of all that. And you know, as you said, you're talking about NATO, one part of the in this book that
comes out. I think it's so interesting. It doesn't get nearly enough attention that Obama didn't want to push the Magnetski Act. John Kerry didn't want to push the Magnetski Act. They didn't want to ruffle feathers. Obama wanted the Russian reset. Obama wanted to play kate the Russians. Obama was caught on the hot mic saying you know, you know, I will I'll have more flexibility at the next election. And then you know, uh Medvedev was like, remember all that.
I mean, we you've had nothing with Trump that's in the same universe of appeasement like that. You know, once I basically what Obama said was, once I fool the American people one more time into thinking that, you know, I'll do something that I won't do with you guys, then then you know we can actually really talk Hillary Clinton with a stupid reset button. Obama then carry they didn't even want to push the Magnetski Act after Sarage Madnisky rotted and then was murdered in a prison cell.
International news story. A lot of people knew about it, they didn't really care because they thought they had more important, better things to focus on and to do. John Kerry tried to stop the Magnetski Act. Barack Obama his administration tried to stop the Magnetski Act. They were soft on Russia because they were soft on everybody because their foreign policy was weak. So and I don't need all the former Obama types, all the former you know Obama officials.
Two lecture us on foreign policy. And I also don't need the Bush people, thanks for the wars that you know never end. Push folks, I don't really need them either, to be telling all the rest of us how this needs to go. I'm gonna get more in this specifics and NATO here in just a moment, and you'll probably hear you talk more about Red Notice another time. Excellent book though highly highly recommend and I think you'll all be very glad if you pick up a copy and
check it out for yourself. Eight four four n eight to five eight four four we'll talk more about this whole NATO Kerfoffel coming up. There's no question that he was beating up on on the end Stoltenberg in a deliberate way. He was playing to the camera and he knew what he was doing. And I can only think that he was setting on a trajectory that we're going to see throughout this meeting in Brussels, and it's only going to, you know, further sour his welcome in the
UK for the next leg of his trip. So I think he is determined to blow up an alliance that has America created, as you have pointed out there at the creation Uh, we are now witnessing what could be the destruction just the coolest spade to spade. The President says it's unfair to the US and to the taxpayers. But NATO's budget is determined on the size of each individual economy. That's why the US spends more. The US wants to spend more of domestic g EP on its
own military. Europe thought that Europe was safe after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It was after Russia changed the rules of the game that they realized they had to spend more. And yes, Saltenburg told President Trump that that's exactly what I've been doing. So not that it matters, I guess to CNN, but I'm a poor is wrong there. The the the budget is is by percentage of of g d P, so each state there has to is
supposed to meet two of their gross domestic product. Uh. And the NATO estimate is that about fifteen members a little over half of the twenty nine total members. Remember we got Montenegro in there. Oh uh, we'll actually meet that. But it's more than just the money. Of the money
is important, it's about the mentality. The mentality being that these Russian I mean, these European states have this idea that they get to spend all this stuff on their social welfare programs, and then they get to kind of thumb their noses that America knowing that we are the big, benevolent brother across the ocean that will come save their butts when need be, because we've done it before a
couple of times. Actually, And by the way, Andrea Mitchell's comment about blowing up the alliance, does anybody want to place a bet about whether there'll be any significant change to the NATO alliance because of what Trump is doing right now? I would. I would place a large bet if I could. The only change is that we've already gotten a change, which is that NATO has pledged because of the tough talk from Trump, NATO has pledged to boost their spending. Well, gee whiz, isn't that something of
a of a massive surprise, right? I Mean, Trump is over there, he's saying enough is enough. But you see, here's one of the reasons why Trump has the freedom of action here to actually do something. Most presidents, really, all presidents in the post Soviet era, have advisors around them and have a media complex that is on the same sheet of music when it comes to NATO. NATO has established the greatest period of global security and it is amazing. Trump shows up and he he doesn't care
what people think about the consensus, the conventional wisdom. He wants to know what are we doing and what are we getting out of this? Is this worthwhile? Is this something we should do? It's oddly enough for so many people, an intellectually more honest way to approach an issue like this, what's really going on with NATO. But the other part of this, too is that the left, they don't really care about NATO. He's holding the line for America. Buck
Sexton his back. Germany is a rich country. They talked about they can increase it is tig e bien by well, they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem. I don't think it's fair to the United States. So we're gonna have to do something because we're not gonna put up with it. We can't put up with it, and it's inappropriate. I think it's very unfair to our country. It's very unfair to our taxpayer, and I think that these countries have to step it up. Not over a
ten year period have to step it up immediately. Let's a very small amount of money relative to what they owe and to what they should be paying, and it's an unfair burden of the United States. So we're here to talk about that, and I'm sure it will be resolved. We all agree that you have to do more. Law scale was the biggest thing to in defense spending inclse youfin on the in the generation? Why was that last year?
It's also your leadership to be close to a message on on hey Wall, right that I've sent it to fort This has gotten in decades, by the way, this has gotten from many presidents, but no other president brought it up like I bring it up. Trade, NATO, ally, spending, immigration. These are issues where we have been told one thing for decades, and that thing we've been told is at
least partially untrue, in some cases largely untrue. All Right, That that that we can't just have a more honest discussion about all of this is to our detriment until Trump came along, and now we can finally talk about it. You know, you see a lot of people go, oh my gosh, he's he's being so mean. He's saying this stuff about how Germany gets. Yeah, Germany gets about thirty
of its natural gas, primarily used for heating. It gets its natural gas from Russia from Russian pipelines, and the Russians, by the way, are not unwilling to shut down those pipelines occasionally to kind of show people whose boss. And from what I understand, it's very cold and Dusseldorf in like January. So yeah, there is a real connection there. There's Russian influence. Russia is going to have influence, particularly in former Soviet states that is difficult for us to
counter on a cultural level. I'm not saying it's I possible to saying that there there's gonna have there's gonna be influence. I mean there are countries like Latvia where there are Russian, large numbers of Russian speakers, and you know, I think what you're seeing happening here is the the final recognition from a lot of people who have been criticizing Trump about NATO along that he's right. Stoldenberg said it. He's like, yeah, we're spending more Monday because of you. Like, yeah,
that's right, you guys need to spend more money. It's it's also a question of put your money where your mouth is, have more skin in the game. The European states spending more on their own defense makes them think differently about their foreign policy, makes them think differently about
there uh, their expenditures across the board. And there is no reason why we should be in a position to think that if something were to go really bad in Europe with the Russia visa, be the Russians, that it would fall on us to really counter the Germany is an industrial powerhouse, huge population, very wealthy. I know some people get a little nervous about the Germans, you know, building up their military for obvious reasons, right, history and all that. But you know this, this is the kind
of conversation that can actually move the needle. Senator Barosso, by the way, spoke about this issue of German energy. He's totally correct. Place seven. The President is unique and unconventional in his approach, but he is absolutely right in what he is saying. You know, Germany decided to get rid of all its nuclear power plants and as a result became more dependent on Russia for energy, and energy is called the master resource for a reason. It powers
economies at powers countries. It is a forced multiplier. It is an instrument of power, and when Germany is more dependent on Russia for energy, that gives Russia that much more power over Germany and over the European Union as well. It is absolutely true so the German decision making. And for those who are wondering, black block the tactic that you will see, this is a little fun. This is why you listened to this show because I know all
kinds of random fun stuff. Black block is actually schwartzer block. It comes from Germany. Remember this is where you have these guys, the anarchists, dressed in black from head to toe, and they run around and they act like street protest paramilitaries. Uh. You know, and Antifa uses black block as a tactic. Now an antiphon black block almost feel indistinguishable. Where's my Antifa call out, John, You've got nothing for me? Uh. It started though in Germany as a protest against nuclear
energy back and I think the eighties. So they have the left in Germany get rid of nuclear power plants and as a result, there's a much greater reliance on the fossil fuels coming in from Russia, which means that Russian and German economic interests are more intertwined, which means, by the way, the Russians have a lot more leverage to apply to the the industrial and economic powerhouse of
the EU, which is Germany. So you know, while everyone's running around lecturing, lecturing Trump about lecturing the NATO alliance, the truth is, you know, Europe needs to get its act together a little bit here on geopolitics and the strategy that it has to counter Russia's moves here. Not something that you know, you just don't hear the from other people. By the way, Barroso also had some good comments on Putin. Not people don't sit around saying, oh,
Putin's our good friend, he's our buddy. Everything's gonna be fine. No, we understand what we are up against here with Putin. The thing Putin's a thug. Pud's a thug. Yeah, we know that. What do we do about it? What do all the people chest? Something? I saw him? Was it Donna bash? Don't call her Dana Donna Bash? Asking Vice President Pence earlier in the week. You know, is Russia a foe? Can you? Will you call them a foe? It's like, no, lady, He's not gonna call Russia a foe.
The Vice President Nited States is not gonna basically say yeah, Russia is an enemy before the president is about to sit down with their president and have a conversation about US Russia relations. He's not gonna do that, all right. So as as cute as that as that game is, by the way, she doesn't do it for Clara for cation purposes. The reason CNN asks the VP of that question is so when they won't call Russia and enemy, everyone goes, oh my gosh, he's in Putin's pocket. Look
at this, Look at that. It's so bad. Look what he's doing. It's just all a game to them. They're not even serious about NATO. Are the same the same leftists who completely recoil at the use of any US military power that's actually in our interests. That they love it, that they love to put our guys in some third world hellhole where we have no national security interests. But you know, people over there there's some kind of tribal
warfare going on or something. You know, the left loves that, but they don't actually like the projection of US military power as a general idea. And with NATO, they're just pretending to care about this, right now because it's another opportunity to get hysterical and freak out about Trump. Barossa though on pute I mentioned this, I learned is this the sentator Borrossa a brassa rather up rosso barosso on Putin pliclibate. And it seems like it's more than half
of German energy is coming from Russia. NATO was established for the right reasons in nineteen nine as a deterrence against then the Soviet Union, with the same applies today with Russia and Vladimir Putin is cunning, he's aggressive, who's he's opportunistic. He will use everything he can to gain an advantage, and when he has an opportunity to use energy as a geopolitical weapon to gain an advantage, he will do so. That's why I believe President Trump is
absolutely right to bring the fight as he is. I agree. And by the way, this also goes to how you can thank conservatives and their capitalist approach for the single greatest weapon deployed in the last twenty years against authoritarian states from Russia to Saudi Arabia to Venezuela to Iran. Oh By that's right, fracking and the shale oil revolution.
In this country, which the environmentalist nut job left and the the Democrat progressive media apparatus opposed tooth and nail everything they had putin, would be in a much stronger, much more aggressive place right now if we were not the hydrocarbon superpower that we've become, and if the price of oil per barrel had not dropped so precipitously because of the glut in supply thanks to a bunch of American oil companies and engineers and and oil workers who
are using the economics of the energy industry as one of our single most important foreign policy tools. It is is absolutely essential. Uh. And you don't hear nearly by the Obama was opposing that he you know, not only the Russian reset. Do you ever hear them talk about that anymore? By the way, the Russian reset, Yeah, we
know Obama was bowing to everybody. But do you ever hear about the Russian recent No, the answer is no, not only here about that, but the Obama administration was opposing shale, was opposing the very kinds of oil technologies and the exploration that allowed by it that has put us in this position right now. Not only are you paying less at the pump because of it, but also foreign dictators have less cash to throw around to fund paramilitaries,
to fund nuclear and missile technology research. Our economic advantage, our technological advantages is everything right, it's it's it's essential to our role in the world, and the Left is everything they can to try and stifle that. One more thing I just have to note here, and it goes back to this Donna Bosh interview with Pence. Vice President Pence, think about what we really want in Russia. It's enormous country. It spans what seven time zones, population over a hundred
million people. It's got thousands of nuclear weapons. It is from a land and resources, uh perspective, still something of a superpower, right from a resources perspective, not as an economy. It's its economy is pretty pretty weak. What do we really want? We want modernization, liberalization and rule of law there. We want a real political opposition, and we want people to stop supporting Vladimir Putin. Putin has been very lucky. You don't hear about this from other analysts because they
don't know crap. But Putin, for all of his flaws, has presided over the creation of a Russian Middle class, something that did not exist before. The Russians in the nineties after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were utterly humiliated. Humiliated. Okay, you had guys with pH ds that were trying to sell t shirts on the street and driving cabs literally, that's what was going on. And with Putin and then the privatization, which was there was massive theft and that's
how the oligarchs became billionaires. But with privatization you had Russians who finally had cash in their pockets. And then over time, overall there was more wealth in Russian society. And now you'll see Russians out, you know, and if you go to any global vacation spot, you'll see Russians wearing fancy track shoots, track suits with you know, very very expensive watches. And that's just you know how some
of them roll, right, the rich Russians. But we want a situation where the Russian people say, hey, you know Putin and his guys, they're actually a bunch of corrupt jerks. That's not gonna happen. We don't help the Russian opposition having the press in this country pretend that Russia is a boogeyman, that hides under every bed that the Russians are our enemies now and forever, that Russia is an
enemy state. They want to talk I mean, you know, clowns like Joe Scarborough saying that Trump is doing Putin's work here. They want to talk about doing Putin's work convincing the American people that Russia is not an opportunity for us, that the Russian people are never going to be friends and allies of ours. The way that European states are is doing more to help Putent than anything Trump has ever imagined. And that's the truth. Like I said, you won't to hear that because they just you know,
I I'm really amazed I see this. There are so many multi millionaire journalists out there who I just get the feeling haven't read a book in about ten years. It's just the truth, paid all this money, have these platforms, don't know a damn thing. But you know, I don't know they're they're friends with Jeff Zucker or something. I don't know what to say. It's just it's astonishing what goes on out there. Uh. And the ignorance that is on display from our press corps on these issues, and
and the games they play too. They pretend to care about NATO and US national security. Meanwhile they're doing so much to actually undermine it. It's just just incredibly frustrating. Eight four to eight to five, eight four four, nine hundred buck team. I've got much more, including the the fight against Kavanaugh. We're gonna get into that in the second hour. So stay right there, ol man. You know, we we have launched this uh this network hill dot TV,
and it is wild down here my friends. Just want to take a moment to tell you all, I really really appreciate all the support you've been give me. Launching a a digital TV network is is quite an undertaking. Let me let me tell you this is uh uh, you know, it requires a lot of long nights. I actually have my first time where I had to bust out. I've got a a camping pillow and a pad that you blow up, you know, one of those things you
put on the ground when you're out camping. I had to take a nap in the office because I put it requires here. It's an all hands on deck scenario. But you know we had LANDI Davis on earlier this week for a great interview, got picked up by all these different outlets across the country that we're talking about it. Um. Obviously we kicked it off with the Jeff Sessions interview,
and I think we're really in a groove. And for those of you who are OSS who have been listening to the Buck Sexton Show for a while, uh, and if you go back to the Saturday show and when I was still doing The Blaze, something fun that's going on. We've got a panel now that we're doing daily where I'm trying to get in as many of my old Blaze buddies as possible. You know, I'm really pushing and doing everything that I can, uh, in order to get to a place where we're having all those old Blaze
names you know and love. Right. We've had Lawrence Jones on, Tara set Mayor, We've been having on you know, so many people that I used to get to work with the Blaze, and I'm telling you we are having some of the very best political discussions, best political panels. Uh. It's so much fun. And I really think you should check it out. It's great. By the way, no subscription or anything, it's just hill dot tv, slash rising to check out the show. If you can't watch it live,
don't worry. It's meant to be watched in segments whenever you want throughout the day. So thank you all, by the way for the the support and and the the emails and the Facebook messages about it. It really means a lot. And we know we have our launch party tonight later on in d C, which would be fun. I've never had a launch party. Before launch party, I feel like I should be wearing a top hat and a monocle. But it's gonna be a lot of fun. All right. I'm gonna get back into the substance here
of what's going on in the country. You have this Kavanaugh opposition that is completely unhinged. It's completely out of control, and and I want to I want to take this and give you there's some important um conclusions that we need to draw from this. There are some important things that I want you to keep in mind as we think about just why they're so anti Kavanaugh. Why are they so completely and utterly divorced from reality, from any
sense of morality. Uh, They're just they're attacking this guy with everything they've gotten. And I really do want to get into what I see as the meetings, the meeting behind this and also where all that's gonna go, So that is coming up in the second hour. Team stay right there, listen.

You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show, analysts, no judge Kavanaugh, if he has abjuctive would be the swing boat in deciding whether he can pardon himself get out of jail free path. Amazingly, he said the court should consider a constitutional challenge to the health care law, the Affordable Care Act, and openly criticized the Supreme Court
decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act. This is about replacing the authority of government, putting the government's authority ahead of the authority of a woman to make a decision about her own body and her future. They don't have a single line of attack against Kavanaugh. They really don't. They don't know what they're gonna do. The don't know what they're gonna say other than just oh my gosh,
she's hitler. They got nothing. And I've realized something I've been telling you for some time that I believe that liberalism has entered a phase where it is a mass delusion. That we've entered her a realm where liberals are engaged in a a true disassociation from reality, a hysteria. And what I'm realizing now is also they have a compulsion. Notice how you're hearing a lot of stuff about how Kavanaugh is bad, but he's really bad because of Trump.
And not only is Kavanaugh bad because of Trump, he's bad because Trump may need Kavanaugh because of the Russia collusion investigation, to save him from criminal jeopardy. Everything somehow on the political left turns into a a screed about Donald Trump. Everything on the political left is somehow tied to the notion that Donald Trump is the worst human
being ever. He's coming, He's oken so many They really take the position that Trump has broken so many laws that they can't even name one because they're overwhelmed by all the laws. It's really the most intellectually dishonest framing of an issue I've I've ever seen, I could I could ever imagine. But this is where we are now. Uh, this is in fact what we see from them. Here's
a guy named uh varad Met. How he writes what Capital's edition to the Supreme Court would mean for environmental law is that all the fantasy climate change suits the environl loons are pushing, like the Children's Entrustment suit will die if they ever make it discotis. Yeah, that's right. You see, Liberals were able to get away with a lot of their fantasy land nonsense for a long time. And now they realize that, you know, the gravy train
is coming to an end. You might actually have to get the American people to agree with you, um and and you might have to get things passed through the legislature. And then oh, by the way, they can be changed when things go back. See. One of the things that that I think often gets overlooked here, very very important is that for liberals, Supreme Court judgments that go their way are better than laws. They're better than laws because laws can be repealed, loss can be easily overturned. Right
there there. They have not yet made the argument, well not openly at least, But the left is not yet made the argument that, well, what one Congress does, another congress cannot undo. But they do make the argument that what the Supreme Court gives the left once can never be taken away. So they view this like whenever they get a a by judicial fiat from a Supreme court, whenever the progressives, the Democra that party has some you know, major win, they can they can count on that that's
in the bank for them forever. That moves the political and cultural trajectory of the United States in their direction irrevocably. So it's not only and this this really came to me last night. It's not only that they can't get some of these things that they wouldn't be able to get nationwide abortion, nationwide same sex marriage, nationally. A lot of this stuff has been or you know, pretending affirmative action is constitution, all these things that are that are
national level, top down policy from the Supreme Court. It's not just that they don't have to go through the legislature, which they are very happy about. It's that, on top of that, they feel like it is always and forever going to be that way. Clearly that's the case with
Roe v. Wade. I mean, the way that the American left speaks about Row the Wade right now is with a great deal more reverence than they speak about the actual constitution of the United States, because you're seeing a lot of ah, gosh, should we really have lifetime appointments for Supreme Court justices? Is oh gosh, you know, did people really know stuff in seventeen seventy six that that should affect us today. You know, they they will question and I am you know, I'm not exaggerating this is
this is true. Liberals will question the importance and the wisdom of the Supreme Courts, I mean of the Constitution. But Roe v. Wade is sacred. Roe v. Wade is the closest thing the Left has to a sacred text, and the fact that it has led to a demonic outcome that has killed millions and millions and millions of tiny babies is a truth that I don't think that the progressive left can ever allow itself to face up to.
Another part of this as well. It's not just that they think that their Supreme Court handed down victories are forever. There's also that part in the back of liberals minds that tells them whether they benefited from a from action and they know it, or they chose to have an abortion and they know it, or any number of things that are that could in fact be that could in fact be reversed by a court with Kavanaugh on it.
I think it's hard for some liberals to think of a future in which they don't have the ability to point at the Supreme Court and say they told me it's okay. They told me it's just They tell me still to this day, that I have a right to do it. I have a right to do what I did without that cover, without that veneer of you know,
nine really five most of the time. Although in the case of Row seven, judges wearing robes pretending that what millions of Americans have done or have benefited from is right and ethical and moral, I think many people are going to have some, let's just say self doubt going forward. There is a massive psychological component. Two, the Supreme courtinates decisions for the liberal left. I have a code that
I live by. You don't you do as well. I don't really care what the Supreme Court says except as an effects policy. But for a lot of the left, and particularly on the issue of abortion, they look to the Supreme Court as the ultimate sanction or their behavior. And if that were to go away, not only would it affect future behavior, I think it would affect the way people look at their own actions in the past, and that would be a very difficult thing or millions
of our fellow Americans to handle. We've gottahit a quick break here. I got more on this Kavanaugh opposition, which is insane. So stay with me. I'm a coffee drinker. It's honestly something I need to get through my day. But I don't want you to ever have the feeling that you need to spit out some weak sauce comie blend. You should be drinking the good stuff.

health freedom, and healthcare would resonate. And because Kavanaugh is so extreme on the issue of presidential power to the time when we have a president who has overreached more than any president in history, the third one resonates too. I wonder if Chuck Schumer ever gets tired of lying. I don't mean that he would ever stop lying, but I mean if he actually gets fatigued by the mental process of telling so many lies, of making so much stuff up. First of all, how is Trump just with
that last part of what he said? Someone tell me how Trump has overreached more than any presidents in history? Uh? Is Trump putting people in internment camps the way that FDR did? No, didn't happen? Is he locking up his
political opponents, including journalists, the way that Woodrow Wilson did? No, No, No, I mean, we we don't even have to go earlier than the twenty century to find presidents who were overreaching in ways that are just not even the same stratosphere, not not even in the same supercluster as what Trump is doing. Because Trump isn't doing anything wrong. What is the overreach? The Supreme Court just came out and said, yeah, his travel ban totally fine. So how is it overreach?
Where is the overreach? Isn't it quite a an incredible twisting of logic, reality and the law. When enforcing immigration law, for example, is considered to be overreached, when enforcing immigration law is radical. I thought the law was something that we were all bound by, and it had meaning, and it was something that we were supposed to support. I thought that the law was actually a necessary component of a free society. But they're so desperate with this Kavanaugh situation,
they really are, that they're embarrassing themselves. And and this is not like anything else that we've seen on the on the legal front, for sure, this is not like anything else that I can point to and and say that there have been similarities here before. Um, you know this is Oh, this is great, by the way, So
Emily Peck, this is a perfect example. I mean, the self ownage that you're getting from journalists to borrow term from the left here when they when they own themselves so to speak, uh is unparalleled with anything else I can think of. Emily Peck who is a journalist for I think Slate, but I don't know who cares, but she's somebody who wrote she she has one headline here from playing up Brett Kavanaugh as a good dad to
girls is shameless subheading. Trump Supreme Court pick will likely play a key role in gutting reproductive rights, no matter how many girls basketball games he coaches. And then with Obama a year and change ago, the same author rights men really do get less sexist when they have daughters. A new study offers the most compelling evidence yet of the daughter effect. And who is the big photo of
with his daughter? Barack? Who's sane? Obama? Now? Do we think that Emily Peck I've I've never heard of before and it's clearly a hack. Do we think that she doesn't care that we can google this? Does she think that it? Does it not matter that she has no uh, you know, absolutely no honesty in her writing and her thinking and her reporting. I just want to know. I'm just wondering. But we're seeing so much of this. I
don't know. Do do we have that Colbert SoundBite if you guys could grab it, I mean, you know what, it's not even worth It's not even more grabbing forget it. Colbert on his show said, I don't know much about Kavanaugh, but his first name sounds more like a waiter at Ruby Tuesday. Is that is that the best they can do? Is that supposed to be a joke. His name is Brett, and Colbert is making fun of the name Brett. I mean, if his name was Bark, I could understand. His name
is Brett? Is the name Stephen Funny? I know you're probably sitting there scratching your head, like, are they Are they such complete idiots? Are they really incapable of understanding how foolish they sound? Um? I don't I don't have it. I don't really have all the answers here anymore. That this is we are in un unexplored and inexplicable territory.
Uh and And I just think that the the opposition to Kavanaugh is a level of hysteria and lunacy that is is troubling no matter what happens here, because they're not even trying to make good faith arguments. They're not they're not even trying to convince us that they have anything to say about this that's worthwhile. They're just completely off the rails, and I just wonder, you know what it is gonna take for them to understand that they're we will remember this, we will remember this. Um ah man,
I don't know. We're in a We're in kind of a crazy place right now, we really are. This is this, this opposition to Kavanaugh that's coming from people because there's nothing they can sink their teeth into. You know, I was a Barrett person. Originally I was somebody who is like, you know what, Barrett is a great pick, and I really like it. But now I'm thinking it's actually better that it's Kavanaugh because he's so squeaky clean, he's so
smart and so perfect for the court. And they will do they will say anything about him anyway, And what is this. In an unusual move, Rosenstein asks federal prosecutors to review Kavanaugh documents. I just saw this break and saying. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has asked prosecutors to help the Department of Justice review Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's
government documents. According to report in The New York Times that notes the request is an unusual injection of politics in the law enforcement duties of the Department Rosenstein made the request in an email sent to the nation's U S attorneys. In it, Rosenstein asks each office to provide up to three federal prosecutors who can make this important project a priority for the next several weeks. Huh. Asking U S attorneys to do this is indeed seen as unusual. Um, guys,
I don't trust Rosenstein at all. I think there's I think there's a big problem here, and I thought that for quite a while. But this this stuff, you're seeing the unhinged nature of the opposition to Kavanaugh. I mean, they're they're upset because somebody wrote a piece about how Kavanaugh is a nice car pool dad and a nice guy. And you know, we we can see they do this all the time. They do this all the time for
different but when when it's for a liberal justice, it's fine. Uh. CBS News writing here, Friends like former law clerk Alison Barkoff say that Soda Mayor has a big, engaging New York personality. Yeah, she's fun, she works hard and plays hard, Barkoff said. Melissa Murray clerk for two federal judges, including sodomai Or, and when both judges came to Melissa's wedding, So do major challenge the other judges to a dance off?
Ha ha ha. Look, I'm fine with these pieces to talk about the human being that's gonna be sitting on the Supreme Court. I get it, right, That's that's okay. But I'm not fine with people freaking out because Kavanaugh is being treated like a human being too. We have we have a problem. We have a a country where a good twenty five or so, about a quarter of
this nation has completely lost its mind. And they watch MSNBC and they think CNN is honest news, and they believe that their standards aren't constantly shifting with the wind somehow. I I don't know what else to say. The opposite of the Kavan although is truly and utterly insane. It is. It is insane. And it's just if we're not even in the in the hearings phase yet, right, Uh, they're not even the hearing s phase. This is just gonna get nuttier and nuttier as we go forward. So we'll see.
And yeah, the truth is, at the end of the day, they just they got nowhere to go with this Kavanaugh hate. He's too good, he's too good for the left. But they'll be lucky enough to live in a country where he sits on the Supreme Court. He's back with you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth, the
fuck never stops. I've been telling you all for a while that elite universities in this country are overrated, wildly overrated, that they don't represent what they pretend to, that they're churning out a lot of self entitled babies, weren't nearly as smart as they think they are. And look, I mean, for those of you I've gotten a few of you said emails local book what Amorus is considered the umber one or number two best liberal arts college in the country.
It's where I went. And everything that I'm saying about these other schools is applicable to AMers as well. Okay, so I'm not like picking on other This isn't a rivalry thing, although with Cornell and Brown I do have special ire. But in general and the U S News and Rules Reports study, I said that that's about college is not universities, right, So generally in the u S News and Ruled Report, the number one university is Harvard, Number two is you know m I T. Three is Yale,
or something like that. And then with colleges it's usually Amerst. Williams Haverford. I'm here to tell you all those rankings. And and this this obsession with academic elitism is reallyant turning into a joke. These schools are turning out, are are churning out a lot of people who are not
very smart, not very impressive, haven't learned very much. What they have is some means of via the system getting into these places which are overwhelmingly not hard to stay in and are not training people for the real world. And this is a problem, and they're the indoctrination that
goes on. To me, the ideological polarization that's occurring and on the most elite campuses in the country is is bad news, folks, because because all these little social justice warriors that are you know, coming out of Stanford and Duke and Harvard and Yale and all these places. Now they are going to use that credential to try and be in a position in a matter of you know, decades, maybe just a matter of years were they're telling you what to do with your life and trying to tell
the rest of us they know better. Because Lily went to whatever right, although you don't you want to know why people get into schools these days, They get into school because of legacy admission. That's true. That's a real thing. Although if you look at and this is what no one ever likes to talk about, I know, the admission thing backwards and forward, so people rarely like to debate
it with me. But if they ever want to give it a shot, legacy admissions are generally within the round, with within the realm of of all or within the average of all admitted students, meaning that you generally not you don't have people to get in a legacy who have much lower sets, are much lower grades. They're in the same range, and the legacy thing is what puts them above. That is not true of two other categories, diversity and athletics. Uh. With diversity, I mean with the
athletics thing. Depending on the school, you can get people that are way below the academic average who are especially for the big sports, so football, basketball, uh, some schools ice hockey, you know, but way below the academic average. They get in because of their an athletic admit and infects some places that aren't even d one schools have spots set aside and the coach basically gets to pick people and just bring them in as long as they
have bare minimum requirements. And then with diversity, where when you look at and this is why Harvard so up in arms right now, and they don't want to share their internal information because what you'll see is that preferred minorities are way below the average on s a t S and AIDS for the rest of their class. And the preferred minorities are basically everybody who is not white or Asian or kind of Eastern European or Middle Eastern or or South Asian, you know, so East Asian, South
Asian not preferred. Um, it's if you are Native American, Hispanic, African American, you know, Latino Pacific islander, or just an international student. You although it's different from the national students with the s a t S, but those are the those are the special admits, and so people are getting in for reasons that have nothing to do with being so hard working, being so smart. There's just all this
different stuff that goes into it. Okay, I'm telling you all of this because I think it's necessary to background to understand how Yale Law School could have an open letter from tons of It's Ye Law School is very very small. It's it's in the it's it's like a couple of hundred, a few hundred of class. So this isn't isn't even just underground. This is Yale Law School, which is where Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee, went to school, and it is considered the most elite law
school in the country. And here we have Yale Law School students who have written an open letter regarding Brett Kavanaugh. I want to read this to you so that you understand just what we're up against, because all these kids and these alumni from Yale are gonna say, look at me, I went to Ye Law School. I'm so smart. I'm so smart. A lot of them are not nearly as antellection as impressive as they think they are. Many of them aren't impressive at all, and they have a serious
case of Trump's arrangement syndrome going on. Here. Well, I'm gonna read you this is not in I'm not gonna read the whole thing because it will take the entire segment of the entire hour practically, but I'll read you some very important segments from this just to show you that apparently they don't teach the law at Yale Law really, or they don't teach critical reasoning and sound thinking, that's for sure. Here's what they write two Dean Gherkin and
the Yale Law School leadership. We write today blah blah blah about Judge Kavanaugh's intellect, influence and mentorship of students. Uh. Judge Kavanaugh's nomination presents an emergency for democratic life, for our safety and freedom, for the future of our country. His nomination is not an interesting intellectual exercise to be
debated among classmates and scholars in seminar. Support for Kavanaugh is not a political It is a political choice about the meaning of the Constitution and our vision of democracy, a choice with real consequences for real people. Without a doubt, Judge Kavanaugh is a threat to the most vulnerable. He is a threat to many of us, despite the privilege bestowed by our education, simply because of who we all are. We just stopped for a second there. Kavanaugh is a
threat to them. Are these people children? These are law students there at least in their mid to late twenties, right the most elite law school in the country. He's a threat to them. This is what they write. These are the people, by the way that you know during the next Democrat administration. And it's like World Show and so went to Yale Law School and you're supposed to say, oh wow, it must be really smart. There's not. They're
just not. Let me go with a little bit more here, Judge Kavanaugh would act as a rubber stamp for President Trump's fraud and abuse. Despite working with Independent Council Ken Start to prosecute Bill Clinton, Kavanaugh has called upon Congress to exempt sitting presidents from civil suits. He has also noted a serious constitutional question exists with regarding whether a
president can be criminally indicted. This reversal does not reflect high mining consideration, but rather naked partisanship at a time when the president and his associates are under investigation for various crimes. Blah blah. This is all the same thing, folks. These these kids are a bunch of These kids are
a bunch of clowns. And these this alumni. And this is what I've been telling you though, it's very important what you see at the undergrad level on these campuses, whether they're all you know, whose streets are streets Atifa, you know, all that stuff. What you see happening on these college campuses has now extended into the law schools too. The law schools have become little laboratories of progressivism as well.
And if you want to get good grades, if you want to get uh, certain kinds of jobs, you know, elite positions, you need to be in good standing with that law school community, which means you need to talk to talk about diversity and about social justice and all
this stuff. These are these are all really increasingly becoming code words for power in the hands of the left, the eradication of actual merits and excellence and its replacement with rule by the mob up oh, colocracy, rule by you know, the rabble on the street, whoever happens to have power at any given moment. They closed this this letter, which is full of just sheer idiocy. Kavanaugh is the gold standard, folks. This is what this is why it's so important to look at this. There there's no high
minded arguments to be made here. There's nothing that they can say that will change this. Kavanaughs the gold standard of what you can get as as a Supreme Court justice. And anything to the contrary, anything else that they're saying is complete and utter nonsense. Okay, Kavanaugh was actually hired by Justice Kagan, who sits on the Supreme Court. Okay, This is a quote from the Boston Globe. When Elana Kagan was dean of Harvard Law School, she was in
search of rising conservative legal stars. They're traditionally liberal campus could use a little ideological diversity, she thought, with more robust debate and the challenge of different viewpoints. Among Kagan's hires as a visiting professor was a newly appointed Federal Appeals Court judge from Washington named Brett Kavanaugh. Not only did Kavana go to Yale undergrad annual law school, not only did he clerk for Justice Kennedy, whom he is replacing,
but a sitting leftist Supreme Court Justice. Elana Kagan hired him specifically because of his intellect, his pedigree, his honesty. This is a slam dunk. This is a slam dunk. And all you see are liberals saying there's no there's no hoop, there's no net. Oh no, I just saw him dunk. Gres. Nope, there's no hoop, there's no net.
They are denying the obvious reality. It is pathetic, but it's also scary because what you see in this Yale Law open letter about how Kavanaugh is a threat to them, that that is their verbians, that their word a threat to them. What you see is the truth of the modern progressive position, which is not that conservatism and constitutionalism are an alternative viewpoint or even just a different way of thinking. It is increasingly clear, and I really want you to listen to this, and I want you to
remember it because it is critical. It's critical for the future of this country. It's critical for your own debates with people on this issue, and it's critical also to keep you safe on the streets these days, depending on what parts of the country you are in. Progressivism has seeped into this other realm where they no longer oppose you on the battlefield of ideas, but they seek to
make your ideas unacceptable entirely in the public square. And the way they do that is by saying that you are in fact a threat, that your ideas are tantamount to violence. And you know how I break this down and how I reason through this. What is a legitimate response to something that people believe is effectively the same thing as violence. You know the answer. It is violence.
That's where we are heading. If they don't stop, if someone does not wake them up, if they do not get a dose of reality, calm down, stop lying, stop the hyperbole, stop the psychosis about TROMP and fascism and all of this. We are heading for a very dangerous place. That the most elite law school in the country could have so many students produce such a buffoonish, childish and stupid letter is a very disconcerting sign of where we
are heading. And I think we would be remiss if we did not pay some did not pay much closer attention to what's going on with us. I mean this, folks, this could be a very big problem. I'm telling you I have never been going on radio before saying this, but this is going to get ugly. This is going to spiral out of control. They cannot be reasoned with anymore. They don't want to convince you, they don't even just
want to mock you. They are trying to seize the moral high ground by telling each other, by brainwashing each other into thinking your ideas are a threat to them. What do people do in response to a threat? Generally not write a strongly worded letter or tweet. We've got a lot more stay with me. It does appear that
Lisa Page apparently has something to hide. Uh. She has been in complete defiance of cooperation with the House Judiciary Committee and the Oversight and Government of Committee for seven months now. There have been two subsequent letters and two subpoenas issued for her appearance, and she has defied all
of that. This subpoena is still in effect. I think it's very important for her to understand that, and she should comply with it, and she should comply with it now before she's held in contempt of Congress, which could happen as soon as Friday. You know, you'd think a former FBI agent or current I'm sorry, current FBI agent, you think that maybe she would understand that that a subpoena is not a suggestion A A subpoena is not something that you get to just say, you know what,
I don't feel like doing that today. And yet we see once again this double set of laws here where on the one side, if you were to not go along with a subpoena, if you were to skip and just decide that you know, you didn't really care about something like this, you would probably have a warn out for your arrest. But here you go with anti Trump FBI lawyer Lisa Page deciding she can defy a congressional subpoena because you know, she hasn't had the time to
review the documents. How hard is this? She's an FBI lawyer, folks, Well, what does she think they're gonna ask her? She's stalling, She is trying to find a way out of this. And yeah, you know, I don't like when people play the game about you know, oh well they're pleading the
fifth they might have they have something to hide. Okay, in this case, it does sort of feel like she has something to hide because she's not even if why can't you show up and plead the fifth She won't do that, probably because she knows how bad that would look. But so instead of doing that, she's claiming that she needs more time to uh look over these documents. She she refused to attend the House judiciaryan Oversight committee UH hearing today, and she's got into a Friday or she'll
be held in contempt. Look, they the FBI has tried so hard to cover for We've been seeing this time and again. They tried to cover for Page and Struck, and I just have to keep throwing in there. Struck was an FBI counterintelligence senior officer, that he would be writing the stuff that he wrote on his work device.
I was an NYPD Intelligence Division specialist. It was essentially a civilian contractor working counter chairs and I never would have been writing the kind of stuff this guy was writing. All my work device. Everything is every it's part of discovery. I'm working for law enforcement organization. It's searchable. And people would say, well, oh, but you know, he can't be that this page and Page is a lawyer. All she does is look through this stuff. They can't be that
stupid buck Well, I see you. It's not stupidity, it's hubris. It's hubris. Just like Hillary with the email. It's not that they forgot that they could get caught. It's that they assumed they would never get caught, and if they did, it wouldn't matter because they have a different set of rules. That is at the heart of so much of what we've seen with d o J, with FBI, with this whole uh effort, this deep state, police state effort to stop the Trump presidency, to undermine the Trump presidency once
it was actually happening. And I think people have realized that this is just far too much and we want answers. And if they hold her in contempt, I think they can send the sergeant sergeant at arms of the Congress. I think there is a process where they can arrest her. I say, arrest her now, teach her a lesson. She's had plenty of people arrested for a lot less I can promise you that it's time. DJ has to play
by the rules too. And the FBI buckets decoding the news and disseminating information, who is actionable intelligence, make no mistakes, are great American Again, this is the buck Sexton Show. No welcome back everybody. As you know, I work for the Hill and do this show called Rising, which you
can see at Hill dot tv slash Rising. We had a great paneled, a lot of fun, but we also have access to some fantastic reporters, some great commentary people, and a media reporter in particular comes to mind, the one and only Joe Kanscho. Folks. Not only is he joining us here on the buck Sexton Show, he is in studio in the d C Freedom Hunt Swamp Studio,
which is exciting, Joe, welcome. Is that what this place is called the Freedom Hunt Swamp Studio pretty much to to differentiate it from the New York Studio, which I tell people the politics and New York are bad, but at least everybody if there is kind of a capitalist, whereas here they're all just leeches off of the taxpair. Well let's let's let's talk about capitalism just for a moment, just just in the side. Guys, I come in today
and I'm dead tired. I came from New York. I come down to Washington and I said, Buck, we'res some good coffee around here, and you offered up the Black Rifle Coffee Company, and it is incredible. I'm gonna be awake for days now. I tell you, guys this. I didn't tell him to say this. I did give him the Black Rifle and now he's a Now he's a devotee, if you will, so much better than that comic coffee that they keep up as strongest clubber Lang man, this
is some good stuff. That's what I'm talking about. So so, Joe, I want you to by the way, club er Lang, this also was not planning folks, you will think it is is the name of producer Mike the EP of this radio show in New York. His dog is named clubber Lang named four clever movie Ted right, then the bear want to name himself Ted Clever Lang something right? Yeah, if he worked it in there. But Joe actually knows
more pop culture than I do. He's also ageless, folks, so I don't know he could tell me he's twenty five to sixty five. I have no idea how old Joe Consche is, so his pop culture references can come from anywhere. I don't know what I'm dealing with. Here is Rocky three, by the way, there you go. That's my talent. You can ask me any movie. They'll tell you the year, as long as the movies after. Let's just do that once for your audience and the well, we'll go. Just give me a movie, give you a movie.
Oh gosh, I love this game, all right? Um Predator. Predator was obviously Schwarzenegger, and Apollo Creed was in that as well, And Predator was nineteen eighty six. Yes, you, you son of a gun. I cannot believe you pulled that off on the fly. I would probably think I was good. No, I'm odd. Guys. I'm here in studio watching him and he had no Google in the hand. Wow,
I'm impressed. Actually, thank you. It's scary because you know, we do action movie quote Friday on this show where people call in and just quote an action movie to me and I just name it on the fly. Really yeah, I mean, I mean, I'm a twelfth degree black belt in action movie quotes. Can we play that once? Just give me a quote and I'll see if I can name it. You want to do that right now? Right now? Um, we're totally off on a tangent. So okay, hold on a second, Uh, come out to the coast, have a
few left. It's obviously John McClain is the first time. Okay, okay, guys, we got another player in the mix here. This is gonna be a recurring thing here. I'm gonna bring savor the flavor because next time it's gonna get a little tougher. Buddy. But I do need you because you are Joe Concha of the The Hill and you and you do the media stuff. I'm a big Shannon Breen fan. I'm open
about this. I think Shannon is one of the nicest people period and also one of the best broadcasters period, and not just because she has me on her show. Sometimes I thought that even before I had ever even ever even been on her show. But she was down at the Supreme Court. Yeah, it's one of these things not controversial because everybody who knows anything says it. She was down at the Supreme Court. Said she felt like it was unsafe for her voluble mood, and she felt threatened.
She said, I've I've never felt threatened in the field like this before. And this isn't like a Jim Acosta who likes to draw attention to herself like oh, I'm the victim, you know, or or she she rarely makes herself the story. She does a very good job at a show called buck Hole the Fox News at night. I've been on it. It's at eleven o'clock. Uh, and she she acts like an anchor and doesn't inject her opinions into everything, which is refreshing. That's how things used
to be. She asked questions her guests give answers, and audiences can decide what what they feel about those answers, and that it's it's almost an antiquated model compared to everything we see in broadcasting these days, and uh, she was actually mocked. I don't know if it was mocked. I don't know how. I quite a how i'd put it.
But after she said she felt threatened front of Supreme Court, Terry Moran of ABC News, a veteran has been around for a while, said, you know, I didn't feel threatened everything. Oh yeah, there are some protesters there, but I don't think that's really the way things were. It's like, wait a minute, man, Ay, she wouldn't have left unless she felt unless she felt threatened, and b you don't say those things publicly. I don't think and see when you're
the ABC News reporter. This is the biggest point I think by the way it's I was building up to it. You're the benign kind of unknown guy. I know it's broadcast, but things are different now. It's not like Fox. Fox to liberals is like what CNN is the conservatives. It's it's a polarizing network to a certain part of the population. And of course the Fox person, regardless of who it is, is gonna get a lot of the grief, while the ABC guy is gonna be ignored because it's ABC. Yeah,
well you've seen this before. I I think Haraldo, who probably goes out with Neon, signs wearing Fox on him because he likes it when the crowd. Yeah, he likes it when the crowds agree with Fox News. He's like, you want a piece for all those A boxer back that did it, by the way, I bet that's you can handle himself. He fought Frank stallone on the Howard Stern Show. Ones. Yeah, you cand YouTube that sometime. It's it's bizarre. But yeah, he's always in shape. When I
see him at Fox. He actually bikes to work, which is kind of cool because I think he lives in Jersey, so that's pretty impressive. And he's sixty eight Heraldo, and he's he's out in you know, riot riot situations and basically, yeah, he likes the comforence. He's like Bolton, he gets special powers from the mustache. Is that true? Bolton definitely does. You should grow a mustache. He he Bolton rubs that mustache and all of a sudden, foreign policy just changes.
He's rally fingers that that's kind of funny. There you go. Oh, but since we're talking media world and and giving some much needed sanity injecting so much needed sanity and the discussion Jeffrey Tuban I said yesterday on the show, just to to put the proper context out there, that it feels like Jeffrey tubans brand is to say things that are obviously incorrect with so much confidence that people who don't know any better think he knows what he's talking about.
I think he's completely lost his marbles on the Supreme Court thing. Oh God, like, the things that he has written recently have been something something short of remarkable for a senior legal analyst for a major international network like CNN. He actually went on the air in said, and I'm
trying to find the quote here. Of course my phone is frozen, so I'll just have to paraphrase this unfortunately, but he said that gays will be barred from restaurants, African Americans will be thrown out of elite schools, that gun control will be banned in fifty states, regulatory state gone. He makes these arguments based on the Supreme Court nomination
of Brett Kavanaugh. And you're then to be so stupid to think that the other four conservative judges on there, not the Kavanaugh, would ever vote for any of these things, but that Gorsch and Alito and Roberts that they would vote also to do all these things, banned gaze from restaurants, and no one, no one checks him on that network. That's what kills me. He says it, and they just shake their heads like you're at Babla head Knight at Nationals Park. Where's the nasty Jake Tapper tweet? Mr facts
first all the time? Where's the Jake Tapper tweet on this one? Folks? It's just all about that that going down the line. I'm just asking questions. I'm just asking He's a journalist and he should be fact checking his own people. You would you would think big ja journalists who oh gosh, must be hard. I would note the tube and also made the argument, which I mocked and enjoy doing so yesterday, that the founders thought everybody was
gonna die in their fifties. And you look at the founders Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, that's pretty much into their eighties, lived to ninety, which is impressive. I mean we're talking like an average of about eighties something. That Yeah, I got the quote. He said when the Constitution was written in the late eighteenth century people were expected to die in their fifties. The Framers, because he can get into
the Framer's heads. The Framers never contemplated that these terms would regularly go thirty plus years as they do now, and that lord's and lifetime terms, which to have been made that exact argument when President Obama had to Supreme Court and now, oh, that's right, he didn't make that argument.
And that's what people see. Its selective outrage and suddenly coming up with excuses as to why Supreme Court justices shouldn't have lifetime lifetime terms because of the guy who's appointing them, not because he's actually concerned about them being there for thirty years, which back way back when they could have been mainstream media hysteria. Now Joe is worse then, or not as bad as the height of the Russia
collusion hysteria. It's worse. You think it worse now, Yeah, because there's no accountability for when you say reckless things, irresponsible things, pushed conspiracy theories, all those things. No one gets fact checked because everybody's loving the ratings too much. Even though I don't know I see how you make that case with CNN, because they are down from May have two thousand seventeen and may have two thousand total
viewers one and four gone. And it hasn't exactly been a slow news cycle, right, how do you sewers in this news cycle? It's impossible unless people are saying this is nuts. This is not the CNN that I grew up with. Seeing then the reason why I got into journalism there. Their coverage of the first goal for it was incredible. People ask me why I would go work for CNN. I also had the perception as somebody who
really was a Fox and MS watcher. I thought of MS is kind of the opposition and Fox's home team. I was like, well, CNN, before I worked there, it's it's you know, it's it's the down the middle. And then having been there and now seeing no, it is not that is a That is a complete falsehood. It's just MSNBC with less honesty. It's now A and n By the way, have an audi news network. There you go. You gotta have him on. By the way, I've heard
some interesting things. Uh, you are a worthy adversary in the action movie quotes, You're we're going to have you back some time, and we're gonna set this up so that callers can come into both of us and will be like Jeopardy style, who can get the action movie quote on the flow?

they're back to catch and release. But do pictures like Rosa just showed us of this little boy being reunited with his father after forty three days, Well, those haunt this administration. Well, I think the the pictures of the cruelty of this administration are a very deliberate part of this. They're they're a feature, not a bug, of the of
the Trump administration's policy. And so I think that we're in a situation where where no one inside the administration is unhappy about these things because they're only talking to their base. They're only talking to their core supporters and their core supporters. You know, want anybody who's darker than a latte deported, come on you know, it's just it's just not helpful, right, It's not true, it's not helpful. It's the Slanders against Trump supporters. It gets so uh,
it's just so frustrating at this point. And you know they put somebody like that on CNN. I mean, he's calling sixty plus million people racists racist. That's you know, that's Rick Wilson. I I worked with Rick on different TV shows years ago, and you know he was a guest. I mean we weren't. I've never met him in person. I don't know him, but you know I've done. He used to be a pretty standard issue GLP guy, well spoken,
had some had some inscifled things to say. And now he goes on TV and threatens to you know, he's gonna gut a Trump supporter like a fish on air. I mean you know he meant that metaphorically, but you know he's talking about how anybody darker than a latte they I mean, just first of all, these are lines that he's right. I can tell you this, and and a lot of the the CNN Conserve, the CNN Republican Trump bashers, they're writing out these lines before they go
on TV. They know they're gonna get picked up by media, and I guess they know people like me are gonna sit here and say, well, you know, so and so said this thing, but they can't be serious about thinking that this is helpful to anything or anyone other than themselves. I really am at a point now where I think that people in the media who just refer to Trump supporters as racist in in some way, whether very racist or little racist, they're either just very selfish or very dumb.
I think for some of the more clever ones it's a selfishness issue. They realized that this is a way to get on TV there, and for the other ones, it's just stupid because without counties that went for Obama, without states that went for Obama twice, Trump doesn't win the election. So can someone explain to me how how racism is the prime factor in Trump's election when the way that Trump beats Hillary Clinton is to have former Obama voters that are, like, you know what, the Democrats
just don't do a good job. Isn't that possible, folks? You know, isn't it fair to take a step back and say, where do the Democrats just run everything? I mean, where do the Democrats have complete and total sway. Okay, let's look at some cities, shall we. Baltimore disaster, Detroit disaster, increasingly the state of California disaster. Right, you start to look at places that are unipolar, Democrat controlled deep blue areas of the country, whether it's a city or a state,
and you just have bad governance. You know, people say, oh, buck, but what about us. You know, there's like a state like Massachusetts. No, there's enough, there's enough Republicans in Massachusetts that you actually still have, you know, some hope of the Democrats having to behave themselves, right, you have there's enough there to push back. When you look at a true, pure Democrat political machine in this country, you find yourself looking at a place that is generally very poorly run
and poorly governed. Isn't it just possible that after eight years of the Obama administration, the American people, or at least a large portion of the American people, felt like these folks meeting the Democrats and their allies and the and the media that we're telling us, I mean, the media was telling us everything was so great when Obama was in office. Obama's economic quote recovery was the slowest and most mnemic recovery since the Great Depression. The economy
ragged along for years. People lost years of productivity, years of advancement in their careers because Obama's idea was, let's spend a whole lot of money on things that Democrats like, and let's also put a ton of regulations and a lot of state burdens on people and on businesses that are trying to be productive. Because that's fair. And fair is, in the context of the Democrat Party, just a way of saying, whatever my whims maybe at the moment, whatever
my emotions tell me, that's what's fair. Right. Fair is a feeling. Fair isn't an argument. There's an important difference there, and that's when you get into you know, all this talk about pay your fair share. You can remember all this, you can you can remember what it was like with the Obama years. Remember they were trying to tell us folks that very slow to know GDP and economic growth was the was the only it was gonna be for
the future. You know, we were we were told to get used to lackluster results for the American economy as an excuse for eight years of Obama. And instead of dealing with that reality and looking at what's going on with Trump, who is pro business, pro commerce, pro the American worker in a way that's not just rhetorical, right, it's not just oh, I'm pro unions or I'm pro
teachers unions, right. Pro the guy or gal who shows up to do a job is doing things the way they're supposed to be done, wants to elevate himself, herself or their family and doesn't want to feel like the thumb of government is constantly pushing down on them. And they also don't want to be award of the state. They don't you know, they don't want Obama phones, they don't want uh handouts from the government, right, they don't want any of that. They just don't want the government
in the way. It's an important philosophical difference, and we're seeing what it means with Trump. We're seeing how that actually can play out for the American people. But instead you get, you know, jokes about how you know that all the Trump supporters are just so racist, just a bunch of racist, toothless hillbillies who don't know anything playing banjo with their toes ha ha ha. You know, it's just terrible folks, it really is. And you know, some
of these people, I understand. Look, everyone's you know, everyone's got to pay the rent of the mortgage. People gotta eat. And I know that a lot of this stuff you see on the various non Fox cable networks is just performance art, right, It's just theater for people that are formerly all about limited government and formerly all about uh, you know, doing what is best for the American economy and getting government away. Now now all they're about is
trashing Trump and it's tiresome. It's unhelpful, and I mean, I just think it's it's stupid, lazy and selfish, and I'm just getting sick of it. You know, at least come up with some ideas or go the Max Boot route, who was still chirons by media as a conservative who's like, I'm going to vote for a Democrat. I want the Democrats to win. Well, that's quite a conservative they like to put on TV. Over at CNN, we got much
more team. I gotta tell you about this this movie that's coming out that I might have to I actually might have to boycott. I'll tell you why I stayed with me. Years ago. I would have told you that I thought that Borack, the character played by Sasha Baron Cohen was was a pretty pretty funny thing, you know. And and and you had frat boys across America. We're all going m strong on plow and all that stuff, right,
we all. And And in fact, it became such a cultural phenomenon for a short period of time that to do Borat accents was past a I'm one of the few people's ever noticed by the way that Borat as a Kazakh from Kazakhstan, clearly had to be Muslim. But that was somehow never mentioned and never brought up, and it just flew under the radar because I'm sure otherwise people would have made fun of the incredible amounts of misogyny by the character ignorance anti Jewish stuff going on.
Right But but because he was just from Kazakhstan, a Muslim country, but people didn't really make that connection, he was able to get away with all this stuff, which is pretty amazing in retrospect. I don't know if he'd be able to do quite the same thing today, but he's trying to. Uh, we we have this this news story. It's all over the place. Now, it's Hollywood reporter I think is the New York Post. It's it's getting a lot of a lot of play where you have Sasha
Baron Cohen, who's the guy who plays Bored. He also does Ali g and a few other characters. I used to watch the HBO show way back in the day where he did all these different characters. And he is doing the same thing that he's on before with Borad. He's doing these kind of ambush interviews. And the movie is called Who Is America? But here's the problem. And and I am not overly sensitive. I'm not somebody who goes, oh my gosh. You know, I don't pull the snowflake stuff.
But there are limits, you know, you you there are certain places you just don't go. You don't make Holocaust jokes, you don't ever in any way put down or mock or drive somebody with with down syndrome. I mean, there are red lines, and they're red lines for me, the red lines for any decent person. And I think a red line for all of us is not only do not mess with veterans, you do not mess with disabled veterans, or you are in for a world of hurt. And
I don't know if that's just metaphorical. And this is the report. Now, I don't you know, this hasn't been all fully confirmed, but the report says that Sasha Baron co or Sasha Cohen, what's you call him that now, met with are A Palen and she flew across the country to meet with him. He posed as a disabled veteran in a wheelchair, and he got her to sign something. I think he's also gotten. He got Dick Cheney to
sign a quote waterboarding kit. But he posed a disabled veteran to Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin uh is furious about this now, and she has written the following out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who would serve in uniform. I sat through a long interview full of hotty Hollywood is ms, disrespecting sarcasm, but finally had enough and literally physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen's chagrin.
The disrespect of our US military and middle class Americans via Cohen's foreign commentaries under the guise who interview questions was perverse. If he really posed as a veteran, I gotta tell you this this I'm hoping this is going to be the end of this guy doing this kind of stuff. If he posed as a disabled vet in a wheelchair for the purposes of this interview, I just think that that's I do think that's crossing a red line. And and you know, it's a shame on so many levels.
First of all, the biggest problem is the disrespect, but also comedy is such a an avenue for relief and actually for bringing people together. And I really mean this. Comedians in this country have abandoned their posts. They've become political hacks, they become nasty, and they become unfunny, and it's a real loss to our culture. It looks like Sashakhn is a part of that problem. I know he's a brick, but same idea. Anyway, I'll keep an eye on this story. And we have roll call coming up.
The show ain't over yet, folks. Here's where you take over, keeping it real, Team Buck, It's time for roll call. It's that time for the funky roll call action. My friends. You know how we do it here in the Hut. Let's get into it. Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton. I'm just realizing today it has been Hawhile since I have managed to get into the official team look at gmail dot com inbox, so I will make sure the next time around we will get to that which is
gonna be fun. First, up here we have Eric, who writes hey Buck paraphrasing Rush Limbaugh on his show today. The left hysteria about Kavanaugh has nothing to do with Kavanaugh. It has to do with the fact that he will abide by the Constitution. They don't want the Supreme Court to be bound by the U. S. Constitution. They want judges who will ignore the Constitution and make decisions that enable the left to post there will on us. Isn't
that horrifying? The very thing that we love the U. S. Constitution for that it protects us from bad people forcing bad policies on us. Is what the Democrats hate about the Constitution. PS love the Soroce impression. Eric Shields high let Edic, thank you very much for a din Sous would like to send you a large crate of gold bars, unmarked of course, so you can put it whatever you want. You can hide it from your government, for when the end comes, we bring it all come crashing down, Adam.
Next up here, personally. When it comes to Democrats, the momentum has shifted so far to the right that they may see no alternative. The old adage applies here. There is no worse enemy than one who has nothing left to lose. I don't know where the line is exactly, but I fear we are marching toward it shields high, you know, Adam, I agree, man, I this is gonna get the Democrats lose this midterm election, meaning that they
don't take control of the House with the Senate. Right if if they don't pick up control of any government, what do they tell themselves? How is it possible that their fellow Americans could not just elect Trump and let him lead the Republican Party, but then there could be an affirmation of that vote at the ballot box. After two years of Trump at the head of the GOP, It's almost like Trump's doing a good job and the GOP is better at governing than the Democrats are. Oh
my gosh crazy, Who knew? Right? Who knew? Matthew up here rights? Great movie quote. Ever, notice how you come across somebody once a while, you shouldn't have messed with That's me um, Matthew. I don't know what that movie is. I don't know what that is, So somebody else is going to have to tell me what that one is. We will have to do a quick look upon that one.
Brian writes, enjoy the show, buck great Brexit segment. Please explain why liberals think Rob Wade is settled law, but the Second Amendment, which is specifically spelled out, is not. You know, Brian, I it's a completely valid question, it's intelligent question. But there's a part of me that almost grows too tired. I grow weary of dealing with all the liberal hypocrisy when it comes to the Constitution and constitutional rights and the the Bill of Rights and the
various amendments. It's just they make it up as they go along. It's a different argument every day. There's no consistency. No, it's it's like you're wrestling with jello all the time when you're talking about left wing jurisprudence. Wrestling with the jello sounds like fun. No, really, it's something that I think is uh, it's tedious. It's becoming tedious, you know. On the one on the one hand, you've got I mean,
I couldn't even believe this today this was amazing. You have an NBC reporter named Katie tur who who said, uh an MSNBC owned by NBC. Quote, based on where Americans stand on the issues, Americans have really moved in
a much more progressive direction over the years. Do you think it's appropriate to continue to take such a strict originalist view of the Constitution given its eighteen and not seventeen seventies six and quote because I and every sentence with a little bit of raising my voice because that
like sounds really like I know what I'm talking about. Um, Yes, Katie, we do think that the plain English language of the Constitution from seventeen seventy six, that was just a compilation of ideas that led to the greatest, most prosperous nation not just on the planet, but on the in the history of the planet. I think that that Constitution is still valid. I think that universe stal truths are still universal truths. I think that universe universal uh natural law
is still applicable today. I don't think we have like gotten beyond that because like just because like but I mean, the founders didn't have like Twitter and stuff, so like how could they know what ammdents to right? Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I don't know, Katie, I don't know. I'm sorry, I got I got ahead of myself there for a second. Okay, here we go back to roll call, back to roll call, Sexton. Ah, here we go, Josh, right, hey, Buck,
longtime listener, all the way back to just the Saturday Show. Oh, Josh, we have a name for that. It is called O s S for Original Saturday Squad. I'm not sure if you've covered it or not, but why can't Trump just apply the travel band to countries south of the border? Any thoughts, Josh, Well, Josh, there would be massive eckl nomic ramifications of I don't know if you're including Mexico
on that or not. He could do it with Central America, Central American countries, and given the rapidly deteriorating situation in Nicaragua right now, there's a case to be made that maybe that's not a terrible idea. But uh, if he banned Mexico under national security, under his National security authority, I mean, the Democrats would completely lose their minds. You'd have massive protests in the streets, you pay a huge political costs, and also the economic costs would be very real. Look,
we do a lot of trade with Mexico. Okay, there there's a lot of good things. I mean, I think this gets lost in this. There's so much good that happens as a result of cross border activity of all kinds. There's bad as well, but there's a lot of good too, right, And you know, I want entrepreneurial Mexicans who can come into America and are gonna work hard. I'm gonna do, But I also want entrepreneurial Canadians. I want entrepreneurial bots Swannin's.
I want entrepreneurial Turks. You know, I just want the best of the best from everywhere. I don't want them to become legally, but even in a day to day since in terms of the economic activity across the border, there's a lot of you know, we're we're selling stuff to Mexico, Mexico selling stuff to us, so we we couldn't just do that. But I understand you're trying to think outside the box, and I appreciate it. Aries just writes office Space, because yes, Aries, you're correct, that was
the movie reference that I made yesterday. Aries just he Arias just goes for the mic drop Facebook message just like Boom office Space. I'm money. I'm not even gonna I'm gonna at you, just office space. Dawn. Right, Hello, my husband listens to your show. He tells you that tells us that he's OSS and was telling me how much you love dogs. Our dog, Daisy was hit by a car a few weeks ago, and the vet bills have gone beyond what we have what we could afford.
We set up a go fund me paid to raise money and hope you may be able to share it on your Facebook page. I understand that it's something you can't do, but any kind of explosion we can get would be helpful. You know what, Dawn, we will put this up in the Freedom Hunt because there's a Team Bucks Freedom Hunt page with a lot of OSS folks, and and we will will see if we can get some get some help for Daisy. It looks like you're adorable,
black lab. It is also the name of my brilliant and beautiful and wonderful recently married little sister, so I'm particularly partial to the name Daisy. But Dawn, you know, if I can ever help, I will, and don't ever hesitate to reach out and ask for help here in the freedom hunt. William right buck, been listening to you for a few months. I'm also a former I see member. I saw the headline your reference. I see intelligence community folks. I saw the headline your reference earlier. Was the FBI
bamboozled on Fox News only moments before? And I noticed something instantly. If this notion is being promoted by the FBI itself, is clearly their attempt at an out from the treachery they committed and are being exposed for. To believe that the FBI was bamboozled by bad information is to completely disregard common sense and reality. Even a rank amateur would have recognized the lack of veracity in such intel reporting as the dossier. No one in the FBI
is that gullible. And I say that as no fan of the FBI whatsoever, William, I will say this. I'm probably getting in trouble for this. But FBI agents, the guys carrying the guns to do good work. God bless most of the FBI analysts that I dealt with. We're not the best in the intel community. I'll I'll be I will be charitable, second tier, maybe third tier within that community. Just I call it like it is. Not this. I'm not talking about the special agents, talking about the analysts.
I was an analyst too, so I'm you know, analysts are allowed to make fun of other analysts, right, so FBI analysts were not blowing my blowing my socks off? Uh, where were we here? They may not have they may have many faults, but being that incompetent in intelligence vetting is just not one of their faults. And they're trying to sell this line of crap that they were bamboozled. It's a cheap attempt to wash their dirty hands at
the intentional subversion of a legitimate election. Kindness regards, will keep fighting the good fight, will shields high, and thank you, and I agree with you. And good to have an i C brother writing in one of my favorite things about this show. I get emails and messages from people
downrange military special operations community. I get people from from within the i C. Let's say former, let's just say always former for our purposes within the i C reach out to me and yeah, it's it's just good to have that connectivity. And I take a special pride in knowing that practitioners, people who know what it is to be involved in counter terrorism, be doing real national security
work and law enforcement. Although I'm really a national security analyst, guys, I I I kind of dabbled in law enforcement for a little while, but I'm really a national security analyst. Um. But that they listen to the show and respect this show means a tremendous amount to me. Dale. Uh, Mike Lee would have been a bad choice for scotus. You lose a Senate vote on that, right do I don't think Mike Lee would be a bad choice for Senate. Look, Utah is pretty safe red. At least we don't have
to worry about things going blue in Utah. That's nice. But Mike Lee would have been a very good choice. I think that that actually would make sense. But thanks for Sharon gen great show and loving the live streams. What the left is doing is really getting scary. People attacking others in restaurants, people telling politicians they know where they live. Most of these people don't even know or care to learn what it is they are yelling about.
Someone is going to get seriously hurt and we will get blamed for it by the left sad times, but I have hope it will get better with Trump, you, Rush and others leading the way. I have faith we will make it out of the end and still have America. Well, Jen, I hope, I hope that faith is correct. I have it too, and I think we're all gonna be all right. I'm I'm positive, you know, I deal with problems here in the Hut, but I'm positive in the long run,
and I'm bullish on America, that's for sure. Please do uh subscribe to the podcast of the show. Folks. Also get ready for a Freedom Hut podcast this week. It will be out.
