WALL... NOW!

But it sounds cool when Bernie Sanders and others bring it up right. We'll get into that and so 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. Magnormous day, American, You're a great American Again the buck Sexton Show begins.

My administration is working hard to pass border security legislation, improve vetting, and establish a merit based immigration system, which the United States needs very very importantly, very badly as far as the border is concerned, and personally, if we don't get border security after many many years of talk within the United States, I would have no problem doing a shutdown. It's time we had proper border security with a laughing stock of the world. We have the worst

immigration laws anywhere in the world. Welcome to the box Acts and show everybody here there the president there making clear what the fight is going to be going forward. He is saying that a shutdown is not something that Republicans should shy away from. That a shutdown so that we can finally get border funding and a change to border security and laws around immigration is necessary. I gotta tell you. If not now, when we always hear, we

always hear about the shutdown is gonna come the next time. No, oh, now is not the time. We got an election now, this is this is the McConnell, this is the establishment refrain. It just gets repeated over and over again. No, no no, let's not do the shutdown now. Republicans always get blamed for a shutdown. You know what I think that is, that's a story that we hear from the media that we should we should at least question, if not discard.

I don't buy it. I don't buy it. I don't think that it is in act the case that Republicans would get blamed the media is gonna say we get blamed for shutdown. The media also said that Helsinki that Trump's meeting with Putin was such a disaster that his presidency would never recover. And you know, does don't even remember Helsinki, did any anyone even have you know, any any part of that that they look at now and they say, oh my gosh, how could Trump have been

such a such a savage. I think it all went fine, actually, and it wasn't great. The optics of it weren't amazing, but nothing really happened, and we've all moved on from it, and maybe the policies he discussed with Putin were constructive and helpful in their own way. No, we we just we just don't really know yet. But they said that was, oh my gosh, that was the worst thing that had ever that had ever happened. I mean, that was some

that was some next level of of terrible. And looking now at what they're saying about a shutdown, I just have to I just want to put it out there, folks, are we're really gonna take advice from the other side. You know, what happens if the Democrats take the House starting in all we you know, we'll have all this stuff on impeachment and that'll suck up all the auction in the room. If you want very little to get

accomplished between now and President Trump's reelection effort. At least from a congressional point of view, Trump can still do what he does. But from a congressional point of view, then yeah, let's wait till after the midterms. McConnell always wants to wait until after the mid terms. I don't I don't see how that's going to be a I don't think that's a good idea. In fact, our our our friend here, ms Ann Coulter, who you know, people

don't give Ann of enough credit on this issue. Trump's whole argument on immigration, and there was a time when he would talk about this publicly. But Trump's argument on immigration was largely borrowed from an older's book, Audios America. This isn't just a theory. I mean, I know, this

was what was going on at the time. Trump read that book and borrowed the arguments from it and defeated you know, sixteen other GOP candidates and is the one who went on the Bill Maher show when there were all seventeen golp opals and said, you know who's the most likely to win, Donald Trump, and was booed and heckled and a ha ha unlike that room for I mean the bill maher audience is the true hyena arena.

I mean, they are as bad as it gets. But you know, I and went in there and she said that, and of course she was prophetic, not just correct, but prophetic. And here's what she says about this wall situation played for with these endless on flaws with oh, it was the unaccompanied children, and and and now with oh, they might they can't be separated from their parents, you know, the coyotes and drug dealers. Um. We can't keep fighting the entire msm um, the entire donor class, the Democrats,

the Republicans. That's why we wanted a wall. We need a rat. If he build the wall, the media will book go crazy, it will distract over everything, and his poll numbers will go through the roof. I think she's right. I think she's right. And I also think that uh, that n is somebody who doesn't get enough credit for seeing which seeing which way things gonna go with Trump. You know, I do not like this. I do not

like this notion that Trump shouldn't fight here. And and the Republicans are already they're already brought in for the exits. That's not the way that it should be. New whatever that's worth, new degrees with me, Play five. He's gotta be firm if if, if this is the fight he wants, he's got to go to the country. He's got to explain it. He's got to tie it to illegal criminals

and to people who we know for fast facts. I mean, you go around the country, you find these incidents, uh, people who have been killed, people who have been tortured, people who have been raped. Uh. And did you look at the total volume of fentanyl and of opioids that come in across the border. And I think the President can make a very strong case. We have over sixty thousand Americans a year dying of drug overdoses, a large percentage of that tied directly to illegal drugs crossing the border.

And you're gonna tell me that there's not there's not a political will or or enough of a political movement to do something about it. I refuse to believe that. I I certainly hope that's not the case. I do not believe that is the case. But Trump has to fight Democrats are willing to. They're willing to, uh let America dissolve through open borders, through a dissolution of American culture, through a you know, one thing that I thought was

really interesting. I'll I'll take a moment from this. This is not really a monologue mode here. I'm just this is just Buck talking to you. For a minute. I thought this was so interesting. I was speaking to a former US ambassa sor to Mexico. And this is a guy who's very favorably disposed, disposed towards the Mexican people, obviously a fluent, fluent Spanish speaker, and uh, you know, is lived there for many, many, many years, and on

top of being ambassador. And I just said, why do we have thirty thousand plus murders a year in Mexico? Another statistic you don't hear much about murder murder rate

in Mexico higher than it's ever been. You look at the murder rate for uh, the worst murder rates in the world in terms of cities that are not in a state of war, right, just that are cities that have have criminal homicidnes a lot of them are in Latin America, and a lot of them are happening to be at the very top of the in Mexico specifically. But I asked, I said, so, why does Mexico with a neighbor to its north that's the wealthiest, most powerful

country in the world, that is a benevolent neighbor. I know people, Oh no, yeah, we are benevolent neighbor. And you know, Mexico doesn't really have any real national security concerns. I don't have to worry about being invaded. It doesn't you know, why is it so the government so dysfunctional? And I just asked, I just want to know, because I'm not a lot in America. Guy, I don't speak Spanish. I'm not a lot of America specialists. I know more

about the Middle East than I do about Mexico. And he said, well, you can start with the fact that a very small percentage of um Mexican murders are solved and prosecuted and then extrapolate that down. I think he said it was three percent, By the way, I mean, it was a shockingly known low number. It's so low that I feel like I must have misheard him and maybe I did, but I think he said three percent.

Maybe it was thirty, but I think he said to repersent, which think about that murders a year in that country and three percent of them are solved prosecuted. Um. And then he said it's really a rule of law issue and that culturally the rule of law is viewed differently. And I said, well, what does that mean exactly? And then the microphones came out and it was time to sit into the interview, and we didn't really get to get into it, but I thought that was very insightful.

The rule of law is viewed differently. Mm hmm. I think people that's want to have to chew on a bit more. But why is Mexico so dysfunctional? Because people have a belief that they don't have to obey the rules and they won't be punished if they don't, and that there's this is kind of the cultural sense of you know, do you do you stop at a stop sign just because there's a stop sign, or do you always check and see if they're ops are gonna catch you.

If your first impulse is to always see if there are cops around to enforce it, that's that means something. But you know, we're we're fighting this that's just an a cyber we we're fighting this battle over over the wall and over dealing with immigration in our southern border, and we don't have time, we don't have the ability to delay this um that the Democrats are willing to not just amnesty the eleven million people that are in this country illegally, just wholesale amnesty them, but also to

encourage more entrance all the time. I mean the stuff that when you when you think about how you have people that are putting their children and themselves in jeopardy and breaking the law to come to our southern border and use children as props to get into the country in some cases, right, they're willing to uh to use children as the wedge that will launch them into into America,

into the in a ear. And you think of what the Democrats are thing to say about immigrations and customs enforcement agents and the Trump administration their Nazis, this is the Ghoulag, this is prison for babies. All this stuff not taking into account that a lot of immigration and customs enforcement are actually former military, so they're really just spitting on veterans who are working in immigrations and customs enforcement.

Now they don't think twice about that at all. I think the Democrats are lost on this issue, meaning that I think that they think will never turn back and become a party of rule of law at the border. They have given up. They have decided that, or not given up. They've embraced. They've embraced this notion of importing new voters to replace the ones of this country that won't go along with them. And we all understand this, and the Democrats they won't like this, they won't want

to hear about it. But uh, people that come to the country from the third World not speaking English are going to need And I really lose my patience with these people. Oh no, every they contribute ordered to g d P. Yeah, that's just like saying they do things. Everyone does something. Everyone has to be involved in some kind of activity. Yeah, they buy things, they eat things, they do things. Sure they can they contribute to GDP

in some way. But if you're looking at in the aggregate, are we better off by bringing in people who won Their first act on us soil is to violate the rule of law that is there, that is buying definition, Their first act is to disregard our laws and then are told that they are owed something once they get to this country because we're not doing a good enough job giving them stuff as a country. Right, that's the

Democrat line. Now, Oh, they're not you know, we need to give them Obamacare, and we need to give them free school, we need to give them free college. We need and we think that this is going to be better for a country that's already twenty trillion dollars in debt. How I returned to a central theme of the show these days, the Democrats are un serious but dangerous and and I think that the shutdown. I think the shutdown needs to happen before before the election. If we will

not fight now, when will we fight. If we're not going to make a stand, I don't know if there's ever gonna be a chance after this, folks. I'm really I'm not gonna sit here and do the whole Oh, it is the most important election of our lifetime. Everyone says about every election. It's the biggest cliche in politics. I get that on the issue of a wall, you either make a stand now or it's never going to happen. I can't guarantee you I'm right on this one, but man,

I would put serious money down on it. What do you think the wall is gonna happen the Democrats take the House. Please if it doesn't happen now, it's never gonna happen. If it never happens, the country is sliding deeper and deeper into an open border status where it will cease to be America. That we know, just the just the reality, folks, eight four four n eight to five. You want to chat? Eight four? Fuck? Do you agree with me? Should Trump push for the shutdown? Or am

I being too aggressive? Am I being a little too buck wild? Here? Let me know and we will be right back. But that's stuff that President Trump just came back to say we need to put this to rest. He's been saying this all the time. And if anybody who has any to do with President Trump is watching this, please send him this message. There's two point six percent economic growth. It is for one quarter. You can spike

growth for a quarter all sorts of times. In fact, do you know how many times during President Obama's eight years growth was two point six percent or higher? Four quarters, four quarters, teen times during President Obama's administration, growth was two point six percent or higher. Eight times it was three percent or higher. So Donald Trump just has to get off of this GDP kick. It's just nonsensical and

it's it's it's disingenuous. I don't know. He needs to get off of it to save himself, if he himself, if he puts himself in a situation, if we budget the US, if McK milvaney puts a budget in place, assuming that we're gonna face three percent GDP, We're not going to That is a goal, not a baseline. And if you want to disappoint the American people, tell them they're going to get that, because guess what, that's not real.

Like I've been worried for some time, we may be seeing a kind of sugar high, and that sugar highs tend to be followed by much less happy periods. Certainly, if you use the standard of what the administration has held out, the hope for three to four percent growth, there is nothing in any data suggesting that we're moving towards that three to four percent growth standards. So they haven't folks. That's pretty much Carvers. Before you got MSNBC with a couple of like UH markets experts there, uh

saying that, well, producer, Mike, when was that from? That was obviously early on this year, right back when the budgets were coming out. I can't hear you, buddy, but fair enough. Um, so yeah, that was that was a while back. And then so so originally it was we're never gonna get there, and now it's we're not gonna

stay there. It's almost like Trump can't win right when it was when it was advantageous for the anti Trump media to say we're never gonna hit the projection of four percent that he said we're gonna hit months ago, that was the refrain. Now that we've hit four percent, Oh, we're not gonna stay with four percent. That's not gonna because here's the real problem. They can't beat Trump on the economy right now. They have no real argument to make. And we all still remember the hostility of the Obama

era to private enterprise, private property, small business. There was a real hostility to those things, particularly in the form of government intervention via regulation. And so we see this now as people who have lived through what it means to have the government way to involve in in our business, like literally up in our biz. So just just note that all these people that are saying this stuff, they're telling you what they want to believe, not what is reality.

But I'm here to give you reality. We've got some interesting numbers on what medicare for all would be, like we'll get their team stay with me. He's holding the line for America. Buck Sexton his back and he said not by cash interruption coin sais no, no, but and then Trump says check immediately it's cut off. Click. Next thing you hear is Don Jr. He must be talking to Don Jr. But that's erased also, so seeah, he

raised him and the expert. The expert is going through and trying to figure out a few things that can be very hard to figure out, like it is just a recording of a recording. Did he cut it off at the time or did he go back into his little laboratory or whatever the hell he had and cut it off. It's wild and crazy and they're out of their minds. He did. He did not participate in any

meeting about the Russians transaction. The other people at the meeting that he claims he had without the president about it say he was never there. Uh, and there are at least four separate witnesses who say that against a guy has been kind of proven to be one of the biggest layers in America. You tell me a lawyer is taping his client, the guy is unethical, He's a scumbag, He's a horrible person. I've never heard of a lawyer

taping his client without the client's consent. I never heard of person like Cohen doing what he did to Chris Como, coming into his office in this building, taking out his phone, putting it away and saying I'm not recording it, and then recording it for two hours. Cohen is shady, folks, no question about it. Uh, going is shady there. You had Rudy Giuliani out there making the case about this, and uh, you know that there's there's such a media

fascination with this one. I don't think it's really go anywhere because I don't believe that Cohen has anything on Trump to give, which means that at the end of all this, Cohen will have not just burn he will have have nuked Abridge, so to speak. He will have completely obliterated any relationship that he has with the most powerful man in the country right now, Uh, and we'll have put the country through a real barrage of just sordid the whole thing. I gotta agree with Giuliani. A

lawyer who records his clients. That's terrifying. I mean this is up there with like a you know, a doctor who sets up a camera in the examination room for kicks. I mean, this is really bad. And you know, I I see this now as as a point of media fascination because they're saying and this was the big storyline that I don't think we actually even have this sound

by But it doesn't matter. I'll tell you what it was that whenever Juliani says collusion is not a crime, they're pushing him on this and they're saying, well, uh, there's now that they're preparing to tell us that collusion happened. That's just not true. Um. And you have former Bush

administration spokesperson Nicole Wallace. There's one of these people who has now found a home at MSNBC by being a complete and an absolute Trump basher, which I don't think is I don't think she would disagree with that as a description. I mean she she clearly bashes the president all the time, and she may say critiques or criticizes, but um, here you have this whole fight that's coming up over over over collusion, whether collusion happened, and they're

already moving the goalposts on this one. I want you to be very clear on what's gonna happen here. They're gonna say that even if no crime was committed here, that there was, that it was unethical to take the meeting, and so that alone is going to turn into a call for impeachment if they take the house, by the way, forget about all that stuff. Remember Rod Roden seeing the d J a week ago. Oh my gosh, you didn't commit a crime. You can't sell him all. You can't.

You can't take him out of office. No crime, no crime. Impeachment for Rosenstein because they like him, needs to be a criminal offense or else there's nothing there. Impeachment for Trump is going to be a political offense. And I actually think that impeachment power has always had a political component to it. Yeah, you know, if you are if you kill a bunch of people in a drunken rage, you should be able to be impeached and then prosecutor

if your president. But also if you're just engaged in unseemly and corrupt behavior Senate, with the with the House, they mean they should be able to impeach and then remove you. That that is something that that is very real. And as I as I read to you people in the federal bench, federal government officials have been impeached in the past for non criminal behavior. So they are trying to make the case right now, they're trying to lay the groundwork for collusion, which isn't a crime, it is

a concept. It's a narrative. They're going to make the case that the collusion narrative is enough on its own to warrant impeachment if Democrats take the majority in the House. That's where this is all heading um at. And they're also saying, remember we we've learned almost nothing new about this Trump Tower meeting. All we have that's new, that's gotten this injected into the new cycle is that is

that Cohen says. And now a guy who's a proven liar, who has a lot of incentive, not just he's not just a liar, has a lot of incentive to lie right now, the dirsh Dursch waited on this one play three. Of course, he'd much prefer to remain loyal to President Trump, but prosecutors have him in a squeeze. Uh. They may have information about his taxi medallions, about other kinds of issues,

and that's what they're doing with Manaford too. Manafort apparently made a lot of money doing this consulting stuff for Russia. I gotta say I didn't realize it was that it was that kind of lucrative. Um Bloomberg says. Manaford here made more than sixty million dollars as a political consultant in Ukraine. Producer Mike, we are in the wrong business, did you know this? We should apparently be in the shady political consultant business. We'd be great, dude, We'd be great.

You know. You'd be the muscle. I'd be the I'd be the bagman. I'd be go collecting the contributions, and you'd come in with two guys named Uri and Oleg and they'll do anything. You say. Sixty million, dude, we could retire on that. Yeah, but we're too honest for that. Buck. I know we're good guys. We could never a you're kidding me, dude. He he'd he'd bring out, he'd bring out cash and and Cash would just start just start being all all cute and cuddly to the bad guys

and it just wouldn't work. And stick my cockapool on you. Sick my cockapool on you. That's the first time I've ever heard that. Um yeah, I forgot you. I forgot you have a cockapoo. That is quite a dog name. So, oh, by the way, for this is a total aside, folks, if you have not seen this, and this is one of my frustrations on radio. This is why, by the way, we're gonna start streaming some of the show. That's another

fun thing that's coming up soon. Um so that we're gonna have more video components to this radio show for those of you that are into that kind of thing. Um So, I can actually show you photos of the cockapoo for example. But there was a a video that went completely via over the weekend of a dog and I didn't get much details on it doesn't matter. A dog that's in someone's yard that took a go pro and is holding it in its mouth, so it has the GoPro camera and is running with it in its mouth.

You can see the dog's face, its eyes and then see behind it, and you see the human beings that are trying to chase after it. It's just I can't do a justice except to say that you've got to watch it. It's like a minute of your life that is well spent. Watching this dog run around with a GoPro in its mouth is really funny. So see, there's there's happy things in life too, folks. That's why people come to this show. I give them the heavy, but

I also give them the happy. You know, some shows it's always you know, the country is going to the crapper. It's terrible what's happening here? Oh my gosh, the Problicans have sold Some days I feel like that too, And some days that's even how I sound. But I don't know how people can sound like that all the time. Oh let's take Colors, the phone company selling us out. They're destroying us peace. It seems a little seems a

little excessive to me. All back to Cohen and Manifort and oh my, so you know, Cohen's gonna say whatever he has to say right now because he's just trying to butter up the prosecutors because they've definitely got him on something. There's no question in my mind, because when you're a if you're a lawyer who is stooping to recording your own clients, they got you. They got you on something. I don't know what they've got you on,

but they got you. Uh. And so that's why anything that he says can't really be taking all that seriously. He says Trump knew about the Trump tar meeting. I still I take the the same line that Andy McCarthy has. In fact, when Andy was first dealing with this issue, he was on this show. Um, he was on this show, and you know, I agree with him and that collusion

is not a crime. And it may seem ikey to meet with a foreign government that's offering, but remember she wasn't really a She wasn't a member of the Russian government. This Natalia vezl Nitskaya was an intermediary the Russian person that hasn't for nation. And I just feel like if we took the Russian thing out of this, if if the Hillary Clinton campaign heard that a French national had information on Donald Trump's financial dealings in the court as is many feet was a crab and as a man,

I need a vacation. But you know, if some French guy, call him Jean Philippe, because I want to get into character here. If Jean Philippe had information about Trump's financial dealings that could that could throw the election of Hillary, you're gonna tell me Hillary, Hello, she's not gonna actually try to get that information. That her campaign's gonna say, no, sorry,

your foreigner. Come on. Not only do we know that's not true in the hypothetical, in reality, we know that the Trump administration, I'm sorry that the Clinton campaign paid a foreigner to use foreign so horses to not just turn the press against Trump, but to weaponize the FBI against him via the dossier. So all this holier than Now collusion stuff is really hard for me to take. It's I just don't need to hear it. I think it's all a bunch of a bunch of claptrap, a

bunch of malarkey. You find some other like Scottish Irish phrases? Is it is malarkey? Scottish or Irish? Producer Mike his last name, We call him Quinn too because of his last name. Hey, Quinn, Malarkey's Irish, right, It's not Scottish. What's the Scottish equivalent? Of malarkey. That's a good question. It probably has it probably has an F bomb in it. But like you know, we should find out what the Scottish version of malarkey is because it would be a

fun thing to say on air. Um. Yeah, I feel like Clint Eastwood in in the Line of Fire when he just says I liked I like the term cacamamie. We should bring it back. It's kacammie. He just decides that that's something a word they should bring back. That's how I feel about malarkey. And I also I'm trying to spread an incompoopery, which is a great word too, which is fun to say. Um eight four four two five.

I said, I would say we had a whole bunch of lines live if we still have some lines, because sometimes when I talk, people like, okay, buck, you're not gonna shut up, so I'm gonna drop. But if we can will take if people were patient, when they will take some calls after the break, and then I've got a lot more to talk to you about, folks, because we've got the uh, the cost of medicare for all, the cost of medicare for all, who wants to take a guess is it a lot? Is it too much

to want? Too cold? Just right? We will we will handle that anymore, coming right up. We are doing a phenomenal job. We're setting records, but we have laws that don't work, so we're working around those laws. And it's unfortunate. I have to take my head off to the border patrols for the enforcement to Ice, which really has been

maligned by the Democrats. The job they do. They go into these MS thirteen nests, the nests of bad, bad people, killers in many cases, and they go in there fearless and they do an incredible job and they get them out. They go to jail, or they get out of the country. So I want to just take my hat off to Ice and the brave people that have really been maligned by the Democrats. I don't even know. The President said

that earlier today, and I totally agree with them. And I've been saying all along there are maligning immigrations and customs and forcing the Democrats. It's it's they are shameless and it is shameful what they are doing. We got double Wayne on the line right now. We've got a Wayne or Wayne. Let's start with the Wayne in Charleston. What's up, Wayne? Are you in Charleston, South Carolina? Yes, Sheields hither sields high. You're you're in Charleston, South Carolina.

It's one of my favorite cities in the whole country. Man, it is mine too. I was first stationed down here in the eighties and and I just moved back about a year ago. It's lovely, great, great food, beautiful town, beautiful ladies. I'm a big Charleston fam what's on your mind? Wayne? Uh? Hey, I this one to agree with you on this. Man. We need to take a stand now on this shutdown. You know, every every season it comes up and it's crazy with the Of course we're gonna get blamed. It

doesn't matter who's the blame. We're gonna get blamed. Well, we're not gonna do in vindictive stuff like shutdown national parks and not let vets go into the World War two Memorial. Uh, it doesn't matter. Everyone is a government ploy gets their check eventually. Yeah, this is what I think. This is just a median erator that we need to break down the way Trump has broken down other ones that the government continues on. A shutdown is not some

scary the government basically shuts down every week. It's called Saturday and Sunday. Like it's fine, right, you don't the Russians are not about to invade because the government has shut down on Saturday and Sunday. The military still gets paid, They're still in place. I mean this is when I was c I A. I mean, like, you know, we weren't about to be like, oh if there's a shutdown more c I A. Like that's not how it works. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well they make they make a lot of the people

think that, but in essence, no, nothing happens. Exactly. We need to make a stand now if there's no time, you know, and it's it's getting to the point of no return. Wayne, have you, by the way, did you listen to the Jesse did Jesse Kelly and Sean Parnell podcast last week? I feel like it would be up your alley. You should. You should check it out. And you know what, and sometimes I want to reiterate that it was either you said it or it was on your show. It was several weeks ago and I caught it.

And it's like the thing that these people have against him, and that's the Republican uh, you know establishment and the Democrats is they're realizing a regular Joe can come and do this that you guys think, whoa, whoa, whoa, we gotta drop Hey, wait, I appreciate what we can't. You gotta John, you dropped that one. Wait, and I appreciate you going man. We can't. We gotta keep the language clean. Thank you for going in. Wow. Uh sorry about that, folks.

I believe we dropped it. Whoa cars spicy today spicy? But he is correct and that a normal guy can come in and do the crap that the government we are alleged to believe only the experts can do. But Wayne, you know what, I still like Wayne, Wayne, thank you for calling in. Appreciate a brother Shields High Wayne in moss Point, Mississippi. Wayne, How you doing Buck? Hello? How are you? I'm good man? Thank you for you called. We got double Wayne tonight on the show. It's exciting.

All right. Well, I want to tell you that I wish everybody could see the interview Donald Trump. They would Bara Walters and around the year two thousand when he was telling her what he thought about immigration, and he said the problem is that if a Mexican comes into the US and the bass of dirt and own it. The problem is if the green gold go south of the border, he can't buy property and own it. He

can only lease it for a hundred years. But if the local mayor governor lakes that, they can take it from him. And so that kind of stops progress. And so he said he thinks the average Mexican is a wonderful person, hard worker, christian, loves their family and wants prosperity. But they're surrounded by a corrupt government in cartels and they're just in a world of hurt down there. He said, what I would do is that say in Mexico, congratulations

here the citty first state. And if the you know right now, if they gave the Mexicans a chance to vote they want to be a city first state. I think they jumped on it. And if they did, what do you think Venezuela or Taiwan or Crimea would do if they had opportunity, It becomes you know, a U. S state. So Trump to go around the world and change stuff, and uh, that would put all these other

countries on notice. I think it would be fantastic if people see what Trump said back then, all right, well Wayne, I appreciate you thinking outside the box, my friend. Thank you for calling in from Mississippi. Mac in Texas real quick. We only got about thirty seconds. Oh we don't time. I wanted to get Mac. Okay, fine, fine, fine, fine, I know on guy, We've got so many calls. I'd like to take our calls that weekend. Um, we gotta talk about Hey, guys, guess what free healthcare Isn't free

at all. In fact, it's crazy expensive. Going into new analysis about what medicare for all would be, here's a short version. It would more or less bankrupt the country. That's coming up. I talked about simply Safe home security a lot on the show. It's an incredible security system, fantastic protection, very easy to use. Well, I've got exciting news.

they were just five guys working together. Okay, this is a company that was founded because one guy wanted to help his friends who were burglarized. Now as worth a billion dollars. Here's what makes simply safe so great. It is comprehensive protection for your home. Okay, it is round the clock monitoring and police dispatch, and you get protection against intruders, fires, leaks, and burst Height seven monitoring is only fourteen ninety nine a month. Or do your simply

safe system now. My listeners get free shipping and free returns.

Buck Sexton Remission, decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American. Let Frank, You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, No, we need

to make public colleges and universities tuition free. We are the only major country on Earth that doesn't guarantee healthcare to all of our people. While depending on your income, your taxes may go up to pay for this publicly funded program, that expense will be more than offset by the money you are saving by the elimination of private

insurance costs. It's an enormous honor to stand with each of you to say never again in America does anyone go bankrupt just because they got sick free health care for everybody. Baby. That's the promise of the Democrats these days. Medicare, Medicare for all, as Bernie says, medicare for all. Well, problem with that, of course, as you know, it's not free. And this is something that that sounds good, and it is increasingly a rallying cry of the Bernie Warren Elkasio

Cortes wing of the Democrat Party. But you know what's amazing about this, folks, none of them know what it would cost. In fact, Bernie Sanders, via spokesperson, has admitted, I don't know what it would cost. They don't know how much money it would really take to do medicare

for all. M They just they do not know. Well, now we have some idea thanks to the Merctis Center, a libertarian think tank at George Mason University, which is I believe paid for by in part at least receives money from the Coke Foundation and the Coke and Coke also sponsors my show Rising, So full disclosure there. It's fun to do full disclosure stuff. Now It's like, I feel so corporate, you know. But they've done this cost

analysis and here's what they find. Out for who wants to take a guess, what would it cost for medicare for all thirty two point six trillion dollars that's right, trillion with a T. That would be the cost of it to pay for this. Remember that then that's supposed to be the ten year costs from twenty two to twenty thirty one after an initial phase in, and the increases in federal spending over ten years range from twenty four point seven trillion to thirty four point seven trillion.

So let's call it a roughly thirty trillion dollars is what it would cost to do that? What it would cost in an overall spending the economy. How would you do this given what our current budget is and given what the the the stresses already are of having such

a large debt. We are over twenty twillion dollars in debt, and you'd basically be looking at a doubling of the income and corporate text that then that's just to try to make the numbers work, and you're looking at having Sweden level taxation, and as I've been saying, Sweden and Denmark and these countries at the Bernie centers of the world's point to as, oh, look at how well it

works there. They're moving away from their model, which they have not had for very long by the way of these massive welfare states, because they view it as unsustainable. They recognize mathematically sensustainable. In the case of Norway, they have so much in a sovereign wealth fond that it offsets a lot of their welfare spending. But these aren't truly socialist countries. As I've noted. They're not socialists in the sense that the government is in control of the

means of production. The government has nationalized industries. They are high tax social welfare states. High tax, though, is where they start to run into some real problems for folks. And this is where the Democrats, this is where all of a sudden they have to deal with the unpopular aspects of this, or at least they should have to deal with it, because it's not enough to tax the rich.

You will not get thirty trillion dollars of additional revenue, which is a word I hate, because what they mean by that is money that we are taking from you under threat of force. That's what taxation is. You don't pay it, they're gonna come and take you and take away your freedom and take away your stuff. Uh. You're not gonna gett t dollars by raising the marginal tax rate on the one percent. No, no, no, no, no.

Everybody listening to this. If you were going to have a Medicare for all system, everybody listening to this would be looking at an increase in their in their income tax increase probably in their state taxes as well. Just taxes across the board would would go up. Uh. And if you were making you know, to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, you would have to pay substantially more in taxes. So that's gonna cover a lot of us. Right, We're all gonna sit there and think

it's gonna hurt. Uh. And then you get into what would that also mean? What does that mean for the

broader health care system? You know, one of the problems that I see with the way that the left approaches health care is is that one of the one of the central let me even step back further from that, a central false promise of the Democrat Party today, and it's really a fallacy of collectivism as embodied by the Democrat Party, but a central fallacies that they can protect you, that it is their job to protect you from bad choices, that they can make bad choices something that will not

really affect you, and that that is their role. Uh. And also they can protect you from the realities of other people's choices. And you see this with the way the health care market would work if everyone's bills, if your healthcare bills were being paid by somebody else wholes always in their entirety, you would have lower incentives. I would have lower incentives to try and stay healthy. I would have no financial incentive to make lifestyle choices that

are more more conducive to good health. Uh. You know, and this is where you start to run a problem with people don't like the personal responsibility aspect of health care and healthcare spending. Look, I'm all in favor of health insurance, meaning that when somebody has a you know, we should basically all have insurance. We should we should all have a health care marketplace where you know you're

you're you. Just like you do with a car, you pay a certain amount and above a certain threshold, you know, the insurance kicks in. But you know, our first cost after you know, housing probably or maybe it's our first cost even before housing, should be preparation for some level of you know, medical coverage for ourselves. You know, that should be baked into our expenses. I mean, there's notion of going and paying twenty dollars or fifteen dollars or

whatever it is. You pay as a copay all the time, and that's your only that's the only dollars and cents that you feel exchanging hands over your health care. That's a bad the bad habit where all and look I'm in it too, that's a bad habit we're in. Though. The truth is that we are generally sheltered from the realities of our healthcare costs in ways that distort what's really going on. And that's not good. That's not good.

We should all be covered above five thousand or ten thousand dollars of legitimate healthcare expenditure, and below that we should all be paying for it. Like you would with a car. You don't. You don't send a note into your insure when you need new gas. You don't send a note into your insure. If you're you know you you need to replace your stereo system or something. I mean,

you know that's on you. But if you if your car you know, hits a tree going forty miles an hour, Like yeah, then you said, you know, then you hit the insurance. We all need that coverage. And I agree with that. I mean, that's a smart thing to do, and that should be made. But it would be made more available and costs would go down if we allowed the free market to work for everything below that catastrophic threshold. But people have gotten used to this notion of somebody

else is gonna pay for your healthcare. Somebody else is gonna pay for your health care. And I'm gonna make myself really unpopular right now. But Medicare is part of the problem. Yes, I'm gonna say it, and I get I get angry. People that know that I love them and they love me. Listen to show they get mad at me when I said this. But I'm telling you

the truth. Medicare is part of the problem because the average Medicare recipient will take out twice in benefits what they paid in over their entire life cycle of Medicare taxes, So you're getting double average. Now that's not true for everybody, but that's the average Medicare recipient is taken out twice and a huge chunk of that is very very latent life end of life care, huge chunk of that piece.

So somebody else is actually and that somebody else is us, meaning generations that will not us as some of you are getting Medicare right now and now, by the way, is the government's forced us all into this situation and this is this is government planning. So this isn't I feel like sometimes I talk about entitlements and Medicare and healthcare, people feel like I'm calling out into I'm calling an individual. Look, I'm gonna want Medicare too, right, I'm paying my taxes now,

I'm gonna want it. This is the promise they've made, you know, same thing with Social Security. I'm gonna want it. Probably won't be there by the time I retire, but I'm gonna want those things. I'm gonna feel I'm going to feel entitled to those things because the government's made me a promise and they have to keep up there under the bargain. And I know with a lot of you who are on or getting Medicare right now, you feel like government made me a promise, took money out

of my paycheck for you know, forty years. Damn it. It's time. I get it. But I'm just saying from a long term sustainability aspect of it, Medicare relies on future generations picking up a big piece of that tab. That's just the truth. So everyone like somebody else to pay for their healthcare. Everyone wants, you know, and I look, I feel the same way, right I. I have had that experience of going into a doctor's office and pay in twenty bucks and getting really good care and being like, wow,

I've got great. That's actually when I work for the federal government, my insurance was great. That's one of the things I miss about the federal government, actually insurance. It's just fantastic. Uh changes again the private sector. When I was at the NYPD, my insurance was like not insurance, it was. It was Obamacare before there was Obamacare. It's stunk anyway. So I've also had that experience of, yeah, this visit is not covered, even though obviously it's medically necessary.

Can you give us eight hundred dollars thanks? I'm like, I guess I have a credit card I could put it on. I've had that experience too. But but the cost of this has to matter, because the cost always matters. It's just a question of who. Somebody always pays, just a question of who. And Bernie Sanders for all the promises about how it's just gonna be the rich, that is a lie. And think of all the waste and

fraud and abuse right now. Medicare, because it's a government administered program, has roughly six to eighty billion dollars a year in fraud, including the close friend of New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez governor I mean Dr Meligan, who was an ophthalmologist in Florida who did an eighty million dollar scam on Medicare. But somehow they were just friends. Menendez had a hung Why do you pointed that action? By the way, I got that correction. I said he was acquitted.

He was not acquitted. It was a hung It was a hung jury. So thank you for the correction. Uh, Menendez had a hung jury that chose not to retriumph um. But this program would have a tremendous amount of waste, fraud and abuse in it. I think healthcare standards would go down dramatically. And I just put it this way. You know right now, I mean, haven't forbid. You're sitting there, you know you find out that you have a life

threatening illness. Would you rather be sitting wherever you are in the United States, You'd rather be sitting in the United Kingdom and hoping the National Health Service has got you covered. I think a lot of you know, I think I think the answer is pretty clear. And Bernie Sanders, they're offering a mirage, just like the mirage of land redistribution in a place like Venezuela, or it's happening so many countries right We're gonna give more of the land

to the people, to the poor people. They'll farm it better, they'll do a better job with it. No, this leads to disaster. Um, we are still in the early stages some of these European social welfare state experiments that we've seen going on. We're we're in the early innings of how that's really going to turn out. I think that they're all that they have all been turning away from it. They have realized that they can't continue on with what

they have. And then I would also point out, and maybe this feels a little secondary to all this, but Sweden coming up with a lot of great new, great new pharmaceuticals these days, Sweden doing a lot to cure cancer. You think that an HIV vaccine is going to come from Norway or the United States more likely? You think that incredible breakthroughs in medical technology that will give people back their lives, are they more likely to come from

US or from some tiny socialist countries in Europe. See I just did it, democratic social socialist countries in Europe. I think we all know the answer to that too. But thirty trillion dollars everybody would have to pay. Everyone's paycheck would get just gobbled up by the government so that you would have access to healthcare. And by the way, by the time the generations who are young and who

are and they're earning in their peak earning years. When I say young, I mean peak earning years, by the time they might be eligible for Sanders Medicare for all, we'd realized this is crazy, this is a catastrophe, and they'll have given away their their best earning years, they're their most productive years in their careers to the government. In large part, you want to work for Uncle Sam for six months of the year. That's what Bernie Sanders

is offering for You. Show up, do your job every day, work hard, deal with annoying bosses, deal with the possibility of being fired, and all the other things that we all know come from work. Do all that for six months of the year, and then on the first day after that six month period, the second then you get to actually start putting money in your bank account to feed your family, to pay your rent. Is that the country you want to live in? Do you think that

will be a better or more prosperous country. That is the country that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and Okazy Cortez and all the rest of them are offering to you. Paying about half of your income in taxes no matter what you're earning, doesn't sound like fun to me. Doesn't sound free at all. It actually sounds like the antithesis of free or freedom. We'll be right back. The FBI calls home title theft one of the fastest growing crimes.

You have a whole bunch of Democrats who are either college professors or lawyers who don't have a clue, who have never created a job, who have a theory that they call socialism, which is basically big government bureaucrats running your life. Uh. They openly despised business and attacked business all the time, and then they are surprised that that doesn't encourage people to create jobs. Then you get a brand new president who is a businessman himself, an entrepreneur,

a job creator. He gets the process. He believes in you keeping the money you create, so you are actually have an interest in going out. Small businesses spring up all over the country. Uh. We're just started visiting my mother in law and Wisconsin. Every small town you go through has signs of help wanted. Uh. And I think that this is such a huge change from the Obama years where there was no economic growth. You know, the Obama team did great job if you love food stamps,

and a terrible job if you love jobs. Uh. And the truth is the Trump team is the opposite. Look at new Land and ripped there. I let you I really gave new a lot of air thunders. I thought that was particularly of the nude rants. That was a particularly strong one. Mac. In Texas, you've been very patiently waiting for I meant to get you in before. What have you got for us? Mac, Well, I have been

patiently waiting, Buck, And let me just say this. I think I feel as if we have a kinship you and I because we're both Irish, were both Catholic, and you're probably somebody I would like to go play darts with sometimes. But your bumper music has got to improve. The bumper music, Okay, we can we can improve. We're actually trying to do an overhaul the music, so I'll take I'll take that under advisement. I'll send you a link.

But that's not why I called. I was on hold so long I just had to say that I'm sorry, but I wanted to let you know. Malarkey is actually an Irish surname. The clan still with the scene not a k in case the social justice warriors are listening. The clan is in southwestern uh Ireland and they are known as the Malarkey's and you can look up their coat of arms and everything. How it got to be a pejorative for the equivalent of vold dash or whatever.

Uh not to use the words that Wayne used earlier. Uh. The the the reality is, I think that came from the Boston police at the same time they developed the term patty wagon, which is also pejorative term a police wagon full of of Irish people named Patty. There you go on a Saturday night, all right, I just thought i'd passed that along. No, it's I didn't know that. I didn't know that, so thank you very much for that. I'll stick it next to my Sholey. Thanks for calling

in Mac. What what are we going to hit next? Mike? I had um, what's coming up here? Oh college admission stuff. I'm gonna I'm gonna skewer Harvard. That's gonna be fun. And then the media has a martyrdom complex that's coming up. Recently, I've been receiving all of my style tips from the clothing experts at Peter Millar.

He's back with you now because when it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. So I wrote this piece in on the Hill. You can go

read it on the Hill dot com. And it's in response to this meeting with Saulsburger, the publisher of The New York Times, that the title my pieces in the Age of Trump, the press just can't stop playing the victim. And it's true, folks, it really is the case that that the media loves too uh talker and people are about Europa. The media not really folks. You know, I'm I don't The White House Corresponds Association's not beaten down my door, and I will not go to their dinner.

I would not participate in it, and I said that before The Hill. My organization I work for now has said publicly if they won't participate in it, I think it's I think it's uh, it's gross, it's unseemly, it's kind of pathetic. H So anyway. But I'm not a part of that media, and I'm also not a part of you or I'm just bringing you the facts, so I don't have any opinions or thoughts. I'm just the facts. You know, that's a legacy media trick. It's not true.

It's a fraud. It's a fraud. I saw last week Mark Levin called out Jake Tapper on Twitter said he's a fraud. I five bark Levin. So here we go the the fake news and all the freak outs about this. First, it was the term fake news that the news media said what felt was a threat to our democracy. Now it's Trump's references to the enemy of the people that has of in the press corps into paroxysms of exaggerated fear.

That's from the piece here. You know, they've got this guy Sulzberger meeting with Trump, and the whole purpose of the meeting, we're told, is to tell Trump that they need to tone things down a little bit because, uh, journalists are under threat. Essentially, journalists are are scared right now, there's gonna be violence. And I sit here, I think,

hold on our journalists doing a dangerous job. You probably get the sense from the media, and well from them, of course, but also from depictions of them and movie and TV. You know, journalists such a dangerous job. Journalists have one of the least dangerous jobs I can think of in the country. Taxi drivers are under far greater

threat in their professions than journalists are. There have been since eleven journalists killed in America who were doing their jobs or in some in some way targeted or or killed during their job. Eleven, folks. Since, as a journalist, you are more likely to be eaten by a shark than be attacked by a fellow American and killed by fellow American. Okay, it's just the numbers are staggeringly low,

and you'll they go, oh my gosh. You have this guy from The Times, A G. Salzburger, who claimed that he told the President he was quote putting lives at risk, undermining the democratic ideals of our nation, and that it was eroding one of our country's greatest exports, a commitment to free speech. It was not just divisive, but increasingly dangerous. He says, Oh, wow, dangerous like putting people under threat? How is it dangerous? Is it dangerous to their relevancy?

Is the dangerous to their careers or dangerous to their safeties. Either. They like to pretend that it's dangerous to their safety. And that's just a bunch of pearl clutching, pathetic nonsense, all right. D C journals and the political class, uh that they cover and well and that they consider themselves really a part of They can strut around ec or anywhere in the country with the same self satisfaction they've

always had. All Right, just because of occasional Trump supporters calls them the fake news, doesn't mean that they're under threat. You know. For people who claim to care so much about the First Amendment, journalists in the era of Trump seem particularly shocked that their fellow Americans have First Amendment rights too. But you know, journalists like they like to have this martyrdom complex and and that's why they're they're taking all these positions now about oh, it's gonna lead

to violence. You know. I just want to note that when I would say that Obama's rhetoric about and his administration's approach to police was going to lead to violence, and it did, they went from saying, oh, that will never happen to oh, we we we had no we in the media by propagating these themes of exact durrated racism and law enforcement. We had no role in and

pushing these storylines that then turned into some members. There are people who said, yeah, because of Black Lives Matter, I'm gonna go out and the assassinated police officers that happened. That's not just a theory or that's not just you know, maybe that one day that did happen. But in that case, the media says, oh, no, we had no part in creating that climate. Now with Trump, he just calls them fake news. He's criticizing their work. Folks, when he says

he's the they're the enemy of the people. He's not saying they're the military enemy of the people. He's just saying that they're the enemy of truth, which is what well, at least that's what I call see an end these days. But no one really thinks this is going to lead to violence, and it hasn't led to violence. Meanwhile, Trump supporters are being attacked for wearing MAGA hats and they're being spit on, and you know, Trump administration officials are

being harassed and kicked out of establishments. On all that is happening. But we're supposed to worry about the press. The press is a very for hunt bunch. And I consider myself in that capacity too, because all of you listen to me. I get to do a job I love every day, so thank you. I am very fortunate. I don't walk around though, like these other guys do. There's so much threat. Yeah, I get death threats and people say terrible things to me. Who cares? Part of

the job. What do you deal with? People are savages? You deal with it right this journalist though, Really you gotta bust out the world's smallest violin for them. Give me a break. New York Times saying, oh, they're under threat. They're not. They're under threat of irrelevance. That's the only threat. We'll be right back. Some of you may think that the whole Affirmtive Action college kerfuffle right now isn't something that really concerns you, or it's not that VEGA deal,

or who really cares? Well, I want to tell you this does really matter because these university have become bloated with power and influence and money, and also they are pushing a lot of national level policy. And if the left loses on this admissions affirmative action battle, it'll affect a whole bunch of other social policy that they've been pushing that is essentially bias that they like, bias that they think is a good thing. Let me give you

the latest on this one. Harvard has had to share some insider details about its admissions process, and first of all, you learn some of the jargon out there, lopping tips and the Z list. For example, this was the New

York Times bias lawsuit explores Harvard's admission secrets. And what you see from this whole process is that there's a lot of of horse trading and shenanigans going on behind closed doors because there are far more highly qualified applicants for all these slots then there are slots to give to people. Here just some statistics. Forty thousand students apply each year to Harvard University, right the most famous university in the world. Two thousand are admitted for six hundred

seats in the freshman class. The chances of admission are under five thirty five hundred students had perfect sa T math scores, twenty undred had perfect SAT verbal scores, and more than eight thousand had straight a's. Well, that just goes to show you, by the way, the need for standardized testing, because you know, if everybody's getting straight a's, too many people are getting straight a's, if you know what I mean. But the reason this is such a

big fight is because the social justice left. And this is true at the highest level of the most elite levels of government and act ademia and professional life too. You know, I remember here, here's here's a quick aside. I had a friend who told me that he at a major company. This was this was years and years ago.

He um said at a at a diversity event. He said it a diversity event to a student or to a recent hire brought in through a Remember they called it a diversity hiring event, and he said, oh, I'm just I'm I'm so glad that we're really we're really upping the diversity here. And the person who had been hired through the diversity event, that's what it was called,

filed a complaint. Felt that by somebody saying that somebody was hired at the diversity event and therefore they were increasing their diversity, felt that was a slight mm hmm. Now I know that sounds like maybe something of a of just a random aside, but that really goes to the heart of what's going on with this whole form of action policy. You have people who are being given an advantage or a disadvantage because of their skin color.

And yet, if you were to ever say to somebody, hey, were you given an advantage because of your skin color? That's racist. Meanwhile, the policy that Harvard engages in is and increasingly we see explicitly, yes, sometimes your skin color is going to be used to give you an advantage over other people. And the correllarory to that is your skin color will be a disadvantage in some cases if you are white or if you are Asia, Harvard can play all the games that it wants. And you could

see they're trying. So oh, they're saying, there's are trade secrets. That's right, folks, Harvard and Harvard's admissions process is now considered a trade secret. Why there shouldn't it be the easiest thing in the world. We take the most impressive, highest achievers we can. Shouldn't that be the all? But let's basically that's not the policy. Harvard is engaged in this massive social engineering effort because they have too many

students with perfect grades. They have too many students with perfect board scores, s A T scores, applying, they do all this other stuff, and that's where you get into lopping, tips and the Z list, as this New York Times piece says it. And these are the insider terms. And they have this at other schools too. They have different depends on what the school is and how they do it.

But you know, lopping is when you have people that are on the bubble and you chopped them down, meaning that they're close to getting in, and you'd say we've got to just whittle this list down even more, they get lopped. A tip is somebody who gets a little

extra advantage because of something. And the Z list is the essentially the front, you know, the the the the money the money list, somebody who knows somebody in what they call the advancement office, you know, which is if you're come from a really rich family or a really rich family wan you in, you might you might get on the Z list. So look, it's not just race that and I get that right, They built athletes get a preference, but again athletics is at least based on merit, uh.

But athletes get preferences of people that have particular skills. Um, you can argue, and I'm open to it, that it's not part of a meritocracy to take the children of alumni called legacy admissions, or to take people who are just really rich. But I would say, yeah, but they're also they're they're running in effect that they say it's a nonprofit, but it really is a business, and they

want money. And these professors paid themselves. These professors get paid very nice salaries or places like Harvard with really cushy benefits, So you know that they want money. And I'm not saying that's I'm not saying that's fair or right, but I do understand it. Um, then you have the whole racial angle and people up until now, and this is where this whole case really turns, because it's gonna go out the Supreme Court. Folks, this is a big deal.

It's gonna affect national level policies effect if you have kids. The outcome of this challenge right now from students for admissions fairness, UH, could change the game of how these elite schools take people and and what their criteria are for admission. So as I continue to look at this I just want to note that, you know, Harvard says, well, we have this really complicated process with all this different stuff happening. Okay, that's all true, that's all fine, but uh,

on the issue of race. They do pick some races as more appealing to their admissions process based on the numbers of you know, where they're applying for everything than others, and Asians get the the unfair deal as a result of this one. Asians in particularly and unfair and there's just no way around it. And when you look into some of the rhetoric that they use, they say, oh,

this Asian seems and this was really. This is I think why this got so got so much attention today because it's it's in the personality metric that there that the admissions committed at Harvard is knocking Asians down, which starts to get into some stereotypes. Right. They'll talk about how an Asian was quote busy and bright but looks like many others, very busy but doesn't go the extra

mile and looks like many others. These are all quotes from the admissions notes that have come out in this lawsuit. Now yet another was bright and busy, but it was a bit difficult to see what would hold him in during a lot, which means that when they do kind of a coloring of the admissions a lot, just a lot of trying to find reasons that are very flimsy to not take Asian kids with perfect grades and perfect

SAT scores. A lot of twisting and knots. And then for other students of other ethnic backgrounds, you see, well, you know, the grades aren't great, but you know, the the children of immigrants, that's a big one. By the way, Oh that's right, the children of immigrants even better, children of illegal immigrants, that's right. That helps you get into Harvard. Now, so if your parents broke the law, you get a little extra. And remember I'm using Harvard as a standard.

This is true of all these schools. Now, this is true across That was true it Yale, it's true at Stanford, it's true everywhere. This is what they're doing. This is now commonplace. Harvard is the industry leader. Trust me, this is happening elsewhere. But yeah, that's right. If your parents broke the law, you are more desirable then, you know, say somebody who comes from like a fourth generation family

of military service in the Midwest. You know, you're not as desirable as somebody applying to Harvard as somebody who you know their parents broke the law and came here and are on public assistance. They're more desirable from Harvard's point of view. I think that's a tough thing for the American people to swallow. There's a reason Harvard has been fighting tooth and nail to avoid the disclosure of this information because they know it doesn't look it's not

about trade secrets, it doesn't look good. And it's because you have these these defeat liberal snobs essentially of all backgrounds and races at these and these admissions committees that are instituting their own form of social engineering. And you know, some of you said, oh, bucket sounds. Why are you so hard on these schools. I've gotten some of these emails. For one, I mean, I went to Amhersts, so I know that I know the drill. I Amherst is just

like all these other places. And too, I think that this is wrong, folks. This isn't a oh why didn't I uh, you know, I think there's often this effort to try and make it sound like this isn't a big deal. Somehow. This determines the course of a lot of people's lives. This determines in some part you're earning potential for the rest of your life. I mean, these

schools are gatekeepers for the rest of society. Now, if you want a certain kind of job, a sort kind of plays, you need a fancy resident, You need a fancy degree at least to start out with on your on your CV. So they have tremendous power and authority in our society, and I think they're misusing, and I think they're acting in a way that is that is unethical. I'll never forget when the Supreme Court, when I was in college, looked at one of these decisions and just

narrowly upheld race conscious admissions. The college president and emer said, well, even if this Supreme Court rules against us, we'll find a way around its breath. He said that in a whole big room full of people. I thought, Okay, so here we go. Liberals. When they win at the Supreme Court, it's gospel. When they lose the Supreme Court, it doesn't count. You'll see that a lot more coming up in the

future of my friends, and we've got much more. So stay with Buck Sexton mission, decoding the news and disseminating information. Who is actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American, You're a great American. Again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. Analysts, remember the animal Sexton Sexton. Look at this, Look at they's a good girl. You're a good little girl like you, Sophie.

Look what does this say? Sweet dreams? Sweet dreams? Sofie out now you may be thinking it sounds like a pretty normal session of of somebody who is, you know, introducing a young child on the BBC. That's what that audio is from on the BBC to two toys. You know, Sophie, do you want to play with a little offender? Do you want to play with the little the selfie? Is that what you want? Uh? She didn't really sound quite like that, but close enough. Here's what they're not telling you.

But I can see because I'm looking at the video and all the subtext or all the actual text. So if he's a boy, Sophie as a boy. The BBC put out this video over the weekend with the headline, well here it is. Are you sure you don't gender stereo type your children? We did an experiment to see what people really think of little boys and girls hashtag no more boys and girls, folks, we're already at the point where the progressive left. It's true in the UK,

it's true in this country as well. In some ways, I think we're even further along on the transgender on the transgender social justice spectrum than Brittans. But I've been saying for a while that really the the end goal of much of what we see here is the eradication of gender differences through policy, ignoring the realities of gender differences that exist as a function of biology. And this

is a perfect example of the mean. Now, now you've got this experiment where they've got a a boy and a girl, and they dress them differently, and they call them different names, and they have them playing with girl toys or boy toys, you know, if they're they basically mix and match, right, So the girl is being told to play with all the boy toys and all the you know, the dragons and the cars, and they're saying, oh, well, this is And by the way, they're not gonna like

where this if they really push this, the the leftists aren't gonna like where this all goes because they're saying, oh, well, because of the toys that boys play with as babies that is responsible. Essentially, this is making a nature versus nurture argument, and they're saying that nurture here, which is based in gender stereotype being, is the reason for the differential between male and female achievement in math and science

and other spatial you know, spatial stuff. And well why men are more likely to be race car drivers, for example, or more likely to not just drive faster, but also more aggressively. Oh and by the way, there's another as another point. I did get to about that in just a moment. Uh. Anyway, this is this is what's going on at the BBC now hashtag no more boys and Girls. One of the problems with this is that it's just

not true. If they're gonna try to use science to make this case, if they're going to try to pretend that there really is no difference between uh, male and female that is biologically determined, they're going to find that they have to falsify the results. We see this all around that you already know this, right Some of you listening to this are scientists, most of you aren't. You already know this. You know that men and women are different You don't have to be told that men and

women are are different. You're you're fully aware of that reality. And yet here we are where we are being told, oh, not only are men and men and women not not different biologically in any meaningful way, but if we just dress them differently and treat them as though they're the other gender, that's not going to result in any problems

or that that's not a strange thing to do. This is now, you know, the the cutting edge of of social social theorizing right now is we just dress a little boys a little girl, call him a girl's name, make him play with my little pony, and you'll see that boys and girls are no different. And that's just that's again this is but when I say this is biologically determined, it is biochemically determined. Testosterone results in different

thought processes. And then when I see testoster, I know men and women the taster and they have estrogen, but higher levels of testosterone result in attitudinal differences. We all know this. You already know this. Why are scientists and really sociologists and social scientists. Well, I've always said I don't like this notion of a social scientists, right, you're just a You're just somebody who reads stuff and thinks about things. There's not really a lot of science and

social sciences for the most part. Why are they trying to forget what we already know and have known for a long time. If they were testing and retesting hypotheses, I'd be fine with it. But what you'll see with this is that they will ignore the data they don't like. They will try to either come up with conclusions that aren't there, or if the conclusions are unavoidable and they don't like them, they'll just pretend they never reached them. There is some mission in place. There's a and it

comes from this mindset of radical equality. There's a mission in place to eradicate the differences between male and female as a means of making society equal. And this will lead only to misery and dysfunction because men and women are different. We are different. I this is something that you say out loud, as I just did, and it feels it feels almost stupid to say it, but it needs it bears repeating. These days, there's really clearly an effort out there to convince people that men women are

not different. And I just sit here and say to myself. I mean, this is lunacy, This is doomed, doomed to failure. There is no way that this is going to result in happy outcomes. And you know this has also at some really crazy stuff. I mean, you know, the Swedes, for example, decided that they were going to here. Here here's from a piece A Galia, a new state sponsored preschool in Stockholm. This was from a piece by Christina

hoff Summers in the Atlantic. A new state sponsored preschool in Stockholm is dedicated to the total obliteration of the male and female distinction. There are no boys and girls at a Galia, just friends and buddies. Classic fairy tales like Cinderella and snow White have been replaced by tales of two male giraffes who parent abandoned crocodile eggs. The Swedish Green Party would like a gallia to be the norm. It has suggested placing gender watchdogs in all the nations preschools.

The gailia gives children quote a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be, says one excited teacher. It is probably necessary to add this is not an Orwellian satire or right wing fantasy. This school actually exists. The problem with the gailly and gender neutral toy catalogs is that boys and girls on average do not have identical interest, propensities, or needs. And this is this is fantastic, by the way, folks, this is this is really this is from this piece

in the Atlantic. Christ You know hops has does some really good stuff. Quote. Twenty years ago, has Bro, a major American toy manufacturing company, tested a playhouse it hoped to market to both boys and girls. It soon emerged that girls and boys did not interact with the structure in the same way. The girls dressed the dolls, kissed them, and played house. The boys catapulted the toy baby carriage from the roof. Hasbro manager came up with a novel explanation.

Quote boys and girls are different. End quote yes we are. You all know that, especially those of you who have kids. When it comes to the way boys and girls interact with each other at a young age and the way they interact with the world around them, it is different. Biology is incredibly powerful, and these efforts to subdue biology in favor of this uh, this obsession with an absolute equality and one it will not work of long term it will to borrow from Ian Malcolm Life finds Away. No,

but it really will not. It's not something they can do. I also find it fascinating you come up, you come up against this argument. The same people that are the little social engineers of these projects where they're treating boys like girls and girls like boys and just seeing what happens. They'll say, well, you know, a pacemaker isn't biology, and we don't resign to that. Well, yeah, so is is being a boy now a condition? Is it a disease? Oh?

That's right. They have a phrase for this toxic masculinity. They really believe that we are all better off if we eradicate masculinity from society. You know, you gotta think that some other cultures around the world they're looking at us and thinking, these guys don't have These guys don't have long in the in the top seat. They really don't. It's not gonna last that they're they don't understand the

very basic realities of what goes on in nature. For example, in a state of nature, there's always inequality even among a pack, even among the closest natural allies. Right, whether you're talking about a wolf pack, lions pride. There there's always an alpha, there's a primary female, there's you know, different relations between people don't have the same and I'm talking about in now a state of nature. Nature the same access to food, the same access to mating, the

same you know, the same stature and standing. Competition is reality, and competition results in inequality. And male and female compete in different ways and compete with each other more than they compete against each other in many ways in a state of nature. This is stuff that has been known

for a very long time. Why is it that you have people that are running these experiments and and clapping for themselves in the process, and and thinking that they're doing something that's really worthwhile, you know, to my point before about uh about the biochemistry. Here here, here's another piece from this is from the Christina Hoff Summers piece. Quote.

David Geary, a developmental psychologist at the University of Missouri, told me in an email this week one of the largest and most persistent differences between the sexes are children's play preferences, the female preference for nurturing play and the male propensity for a rough and tumble hold. Cross culturally and even cross species among our close relatives, such as vervet and Reesis monkeys. Researchers have found that females play with dolls far more than their brothers, who prefer balls

and toy cars. It seems unlikely that the monkeys were indoctrinated by stereo types in a top toy catalog. Something else is going on. Biology appears to play a role. Several animal studies have shown that hormonal manipulation can reverse sex type behavior. Folks end quote, it's biochemistry, it's nature, it's biology, that's what's happening here. And the regressive left thinks that it can, through social policy, re engineer all

this stuff. They're wrong, and a better question to ask right now is why do they think this is even a worthwhile pursuit? And why don't they understand the cost associated with this? How can they not see that promoting transgenderism among very young children will result in all kinds of psychological difficulties and confusion later on life. It's also humiliation for the children, I think, and quite honestly a former child abuse. But this is what's this is the

cutting edge of the progressive left these days. Folks treat you a little boy like a little girl, see what happens. Call your baby a baby's insanity. You know, the the job market is so crazy right now that there are folks who are saying, look, I don't even really care that much about your experience. I just want to bring

in and higher. You will, guess what, no matter what someone's experiences, you need to know who you're bringing into your company, who you're bringing into your workplace, or who's gonna be renting your property from you. For all my business owners out there, for all the folks listening to own property they rent out to somebody, you want to make sure you have somebody checking up on that possible higher or tenant in a way that is quick, efficient

and all about the details. Global Verification Network can do that for you. They're the only duel certified, veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. They're also federally certified as a veteran owned small business. Folks. They are headquartered here in Chicago. They never offshore your data. They do all of the work here in the States. I know the CEO personally. He's a great guy who's running a great company. You should really check the out. Go to my g

VN dot com. That's my g VN dot com or called eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine. So this uh story called my eye over the weekend, and I don't have much time to get into it today. I'm wondering how many of you have you even seen it? But a former Missoo basketball guard named Terence Phillips, and I don't pay attention to college basketball. Apparently he was, uh, I don't know, kind of a big deal in basketball world.

I don't know, um, But he released on Twitter a long statement explaining that the Title nine investigation at the University of Missouri held on him about allegations of rape, stalking, and inappropriate sexual conduct was finished. Three of the four allegations were found to have insufficient evidence he I had. Here's what he said today, I can finally speak today the Time nine investigation I've been undergoing for the last

six months is finally over. Today I can finally said I was found not responsible the allegations against me of sexual misconduct, rape exploitation, and stalking. I had four complaints filed and investigated, and one unanimously three of them, he said, So, uh, the investigation is over. And the investigation included a fifth complainant, who said that his behavior in class made her uncomfortable on the university said, well, that doesn't warrant an investigation.

When you look into this, based on what I was able to find, I feel like there's a clear um. Well, this is another one of these instances where someone has no rights of no rights along the process. He lost his basketball scholarship. Okay, he lost the ability to play basketball. And he wasn't able to even have any due process rights. He wasn't able to have any any counsel to confront

his accusers, none of that. And this was all done based upon I believe still well anonymous at least publicly complainant a and complainant be and all that allegations against him. He was found guilty of pushing his ex girlfriend some years ago by the panel, and and he said he admitted to pushing her and he was responci found responsible

for intimate partner violence. But the same girl had said she made it her mission to ruin me because she feels as though I cheated on her during our relationship. And when when I read into this one, and this is another one of these cases where it seems like there are some women who really didn't like this guy, and you had some of this stuff where um, you know that there were there were clear signs of some vendetta against him from some of the women involved, not

all of them, but some of them. And this guy loses his scholarship and has his life and his repute, his reputation ruined, his life, you know, altered, to be sure, and we're to think that this is justice somehow, we're told to believe that this is just the way that

it's supposed to be. I keep wanting to, uh, you know, raise the fact that false accusations, when you have no right of confront of your accuser, when you have no right of really anything other than just to sit there and let the process play out of false accusations are deeply damaging, very very troubling. And I can't help but think that there's no consequences people that level false accusations

in these cases. And this is something that happens. This is something that when when you look into what goes on here, Uh, there are these cases where women to get even with a guy or too uh in some way make a point, will level a false accusation, and it's just there's no consequences. I don't know. I thought that this case was particularly um, particularly horrifying. I mean this guy. You know, people are saying that one of the women just straight up uh, straight up light um,

and here's what this guy said. For the first first few weeks of this investigation, I cried myself to sleep every night. I woke up every morning with emotions and frustrations that I've never felt before. Some of you have seen me doing photography and think I'm concerned with the situation, unconcerned with the situation, But you couldn't be more wrong. I've been doing it recently because I have all the free time in the world now and it's a way to keep my mind fresh and busy while I cooperated

with the investigative process. To say I am hurt by what was said about me uh is an understatement. I've lost people who are once called friends I see now they never were. I've lost fans, and you know, it's bits just the whole case, just it's sad, and this guy's life is rumor and by a Title nine investigation with no due process, not a criminal complaint. Folks, University doing this not something they're equipped to do. The Obama

administration pushed them to do this kind of stuff. Anyway, I'm gonna follow up on this one later in the week. Stay with me. He's holding the line for America Buck sext in his back. Well, it was only a matter of time, folks, before we started looking at state and city names for getting a name change because of a history or or connections historically to slavery or two other politically well, either either morally reprehensible or politically incorrect, depending

on the subject matter topics. But in the case of Austin, Texas, now the case of Austin, Texas, we do, in fact have a a case being made by some that the city of Austin is gonna have to change its name. Folksy, this is perfect because you know, I'm I'm gonna come down to Austin this year. I'm looking forward to what I'm looking forward to seeing all the folks that kale k lb J Austin and and we're gonna pick a

great barbecue joint role. It's gonna hang out, have a little have a little Team Buck party down in Austin, t X TJAS. But this is just too much. I mean, so here here's the thing. I'm not gonna site here and ever say that there's no case we made, because anytime somebody has any connection to slavery, you can say, well, you know, they that's a that's a true, truly reprehensible and moral failing. And even its historical context, people knew that it was There were people who knew that it

was right. There people who knew that it was wrong. But Stephen F. Austin, who is considered the father of Texas, was opposed to banning slavery when Texas was a part of Mexico, which I'm sure the Texans listened to this, Remember a lot of other people don't. Texas a part

of Mexico two hundred years ago. Mexican government needed money, so they let American settlers come into the Texas territory and then the Texans fought, the Mexicans won their independence, were the Republic of Texas for a while, and then they're like, yeah, let's join this whole union thing that got going on in America that became part of America. Uh So this is now something that may, in fact, ah may in fact get a bit more attraction. We'll

see if they changed the name of Austin, Texas. But I just want to point out which I oh, it's like the liberal enclave of Texas now too. But I want to point out that if you change Austin, Texas, what do you do about Washington, d C. Where I am right now, George Washington own slaves. If if slavery is going to be a historical disqualifier, or rather a disqualifier in the present because of its historical wrong, why well, what are the outer limits of that? And I really

asked that question in all seriousness. We're gonna change Washington, what then becomes our shared heritage is the only heritage that we can celebrate in this country. Uh you know, in terms of the founding fathers, who who do we get to say? Is okay? Still? I guess John Adams, Now there'll be a few, isn't interesting? Adams is just way less a part of our consciousness when it comes to the American founding than say, Jefferson is you know,

people think of Adams. Look, Washington is numerous, you know, but then it's really Washington then Jefferson. You know, Adams is even though that he was the second president, is not thought of as quite as Uh well, I guess we could debate that another topic quite as important to figure as some of these others. I even think people put Ben Franklin ahead of Adams was I really do um. But Austin is thinking about changing its name. I don't think that that's going to happen, but it's definitely gonna

be a topic of discussion. As I've said to the Boston has to change its name. You've got Washington, DC would have to change its name. Think of all the Jefferson County and Jefferson Parish and Jefferson all the things named Jefferson across the country that I'm assuming or tied to or named for Thomas Jefferson. Uh and and once you start expanding this out, think of all the cost

and the difficulty here associated with this. That the the name change is not just gonna be something that people are able to do with, you know, this would be a thing you don't have to change all the signs you have to you know, And and at some point we have to say, okay, well when is when is the the actual cost too much of this, you know, monument changing, slash, city name changing, slash, you know, college

name changing. I'm still waiting for you. I'm telling you, Yale is never gonna change its name because people go to Yale because it's called Yale, and Yale University, as liberal and elite as it is, doesn't care that Allie who Yale was a slave trader. They're gonna they're gonna hold onto that name and come hell or high water,

they're not gonna change the thing. So we'll see if if the uh, well, the Austin City Council is already renamed streets that were named after Roberty Lee and Jefferson Davis. So the Confederacy you got, you know, people that are tied to the Confederacy. Austin has already gotten rid of them. They're already raising them from public landmarks and other places. But are they gonna change the name of the city. We'll see, folks, my Austin peeps, you can weigh in

Facebook dot com, slash buck sexton. But by the way, way before we go, actually, I've got here that the the Cities of Austin, their equity office, is involved in this, and they're saying, to be fair, they're saying that the city's name requires more analysis. They have two lists. One that's like, you gotta change this right away, immediate action like Dixie Drive, Confederate Avenue and Plantation Road. Dixie Drive

our Dixie Cups now unacceptable. I just I want to know where the rules are here that does Dixie Cup have to change its name? Is? Is Dixie now the name Dixie racist? I'm I actually don't know. Confederate Avenue, Plantation Road, those all have to go. But Austin, according to the Equity Office, which was created in to evaluate issues of racial equity, says that the name of the entire city itself that needs more study. Okay, so so there's some additional detail. We'll be right back with the

roll call. Team Buck, it's time for roll call. Well, it's a rainy day down here in d C. This swamp is swampy and wet and muggy and uh, lots of humidity in the air. But I am inspired once again because a roll call, because of all of you, gives me a little boost energy. At the end of the show, if you want your roll call to make make it, uh, go to Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton.

And also, if you want this show to continue to be a success, I need you to tell your friends and family about the Bucks Exton show, show them how to download it, send them a link, tell them about the Freedom of podcast last week we did with a Jesse and Sean and we're working on the audio quality. I know, guys, I know is a first time out with that stuff. We have a lot of fun with that. I can tell you that my gear is now in New York and and darning. I'm committing. I'm committing to it.

In the month of August, there will be the next episode of shield Hie. Uh. We don't do enough of them for us to you know, make any money on them or anything yet, so I just do it because I love it. But darn it, Shields High in August, we're gonna have some weeks where there's not a ton of news anyway, so I feel like, let's get into it. That's I'm committing right now to doing a Shields tie in August and we'll put it out and there you have it. But please do check out the Freedom Hut

podcast from last week. And uh, I'm I'm actually taking I'm taking suggestions for who you think would be a fun guest for this week. Now, with all that, let's get into it. Uh, no, uh, this is again in roll call Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. Noah Rights, Hey, Facebook, Uh might not be the best way to contact you about this, but I couldn't seem to find it better way. On one of your shows you mentioned would be funny

to get some interns for the Buck Sexton Show. I just want to throw my hat in the ring early and express my interest. If an internship opportunity ever does come to Fruition, I would love to know where I can find out more information about that. Thank you, Shields High. Well, no, you're very kind, my man, and I can't tell you right now you are top of the intern list, but we don't take interns yet because I don't even know

how he would do that. I don't know if they have to come to the swamp here in d C. Or if they have to go to New York. But Noah, we will file this away. And I really appreciate your interest and support what we're doing here. And just make sure if you're gonna be an intern somewhere, they actually give you real stuff to do. I did some internships that were worthwhile and some that were complete, complete crap

lousy fests. I mean it was not not worth anyone's time, including the people around me who were supposed to be making it worth my time. Wasted everybody's time. But I wouldn't have that. I would have interns doing cool stuff for me. Next up here is Charles. Uh. Seriously, if this was Omama doing just half stuff, Uh, you would be screaming for his head. I know you are a partisan liar if you don't admit it which you want.

I'm actually reading this as he wrote it. Guys, I know you are you too spelled t o or a partisan liar if you don't admit it which you want? Conservative ha ha ha where not in fiscal responsibility period, not in truth or justice period? Give me a break period. Um oh yeah, I'm one of those independents you don't care about that will never vote for the GOP. From Charles Charles, um m m, fair enough. I thought we just go with that, all right, Charles had to say

on the show. There you go, buddy, It's actually not true. I don't care of independence, and I really get excited when I hear from liberals who listened to the show, and um, I'm and look, I present it all as I see it and I'm honest about what I think and how I view things, and I tell you when I'm not sure. I'll tell you when I think I

might be wrong about something. And I hope that independence recognized that, unlike a lot of the TV news anchors that they get information from, I actually know stuff and learn stuff and have things to say. Uh So, yeah, that was just kind of a swipe at CNN in case you didn't know. But yeah, well, Charles, thanks for reaching out, buddy. And I do get I do give a crap, Charles, I do so on that. I gotta tell you you're wrong, all right. Uh here we get

back into some some nice team buck Aaron Rights. Love your show. I especially enjoyed your Freedom Hunt episode last week. It was hilarious. I didn't realize that Sean Parnell lives in western Pennsylvania. I live about ten miles south of him. Be honored to take him out for a beer too. Please pass along. Also, I believe you're still trying to figure out the buck gear that you sell on your site.

Can I ask you to consider partnering with the Operation Hat Trick program twelve of every brand that item that you buy to sell on your side goes to wounded veterans. Our company helps start this program. Procis me six years ago. We've raised a million dollars. Doesn't cost you any participate you just you just buy a product from specific companies. The company wouldn't even make any money off this. Thank you for all you do, Aaron. That sounds like a

great idea. So please uh in the Facebook here is give me an email where I can best contact you. I'm actually writing right now just in shorthand. Please give me an email to contact um. See this is this is in real time, folks. So I got a type it on on a nationally snick a radio show because that sounds really interesting. Actually, Sandy right, someone I don't know responded to my post was interested in Muslim history. I shared some along with linked to Shields High and

your show also shared in public. I love it and you from Sandy Well, Sandy, you are very very kind. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Aaron writes, Hey, Buck, the top headline today is for Bernie Sanders Medicare for All Bill. I'm in the military and I have tri care which covers almost everything at no cost to me. Can you explain why the entire us couldn't have something similar to tri care, which sounds similar to what they are proposing. What would have cost every person in tax

increases to make something like that work? Could a flat tox not cover everyone? Thanks Man Shields high Lar, thank you for your service, and and there your question about tri care is the short version, and the short answer is it would be too expensive that you couldn't cover everybody because it would be too expensive um meaning that you or I should say that you would have to have such massive tax increases that it would be somewhat catastrophic to the greater economy and to the private sector

and private industry in order to pay for it. Try care is pricey. I don't know how price you got the top of my head, but I do know also that there there's the problem of incentives, which I've been discussing with you here about health care. If you don't pay for it, you will overuse it. Not you, but one will overuse it. Also take less personal care of

one's health. A vast majority of health spending right now goes to elderly care, which covered my Medicare, but then also diseases that are lifestyle related, and people generally do not like to hear about this, but there are diseases that are affected by choices that we are all making, notably heart disease, diabetes ease are not always, but at least in part, reflections of what we are doing to ourselves, the choices we are making about activity level, what we're eating,

just general health and lifestyle choices. And if you are not incentivized for medical reasons, for reasons of cost, to change some of those behaviors, that in the aggregate across the American economy is gonna have a problem. Gonna be a problem because you're gonna be paying for other people's stuff and they're gonna paying for your stuff, and that's not the way it's is to be. Um. But Aaron, I don't know enough about try cure to get the

specifics of it. But I just I know that if if the government's going to cover all of your health care bills, you are going to go, uh, the country is gonna have to have taxes at least double So whatever you're paying now in taxes, imagine twice that much. And even then I'm not sure it would be enough. Michael writes the definition of a cluster the Buxter Parnell and Jesse Kelly trying to do a podcast over Skype. You know, Michael, we're just you know, Michael always is.

He's always there to make sure I don't get too big for my bridges and then to make fun of me for being in Manhattan. I who says things like bridges. But you know where we're We're trying to experiment a little bit here. The Freedom Hunt is my my area to That's where a little baby buck gets to sore, gets to just jump out of the nest and just spread his wings and sore. I don't know why I

got all theatrical there, but that's what ends up happening. Uh, Seth road in, Hey Buck, It's all in the reflexes. Thank you, Seth, very kind of you, much much appreciated. Um william writes, hold on a second. One of these days, I'll change your mind about tae kwondo. We have show kicks, then we have counter aggression skills. Never do a spin jump, high kick in a street fight, knees, elbows wrestling and

punches in a real fight. Fancy show kicks are only for tournaments, but in UFC, I've seen plenty of folks knocked out by a high kick, a rear naked choke. WHOA, what's that? I never heard a rear naked choke before, and several hundred left jabs. Taekwondo is just another tool in the toolbox, now, William. I look, I know that's true. And remember most of my not my knowledge of martial arts comes primarily from watching martial arts movies as a kid.

So I am not a practitioner. I'm not. I've had dilettent level exposure to a number of different martial arts, but nothing, nothing sobstantial. But I read a lot about things and analyze them, and I also just like to talk about martial arts movies. So that's that's how we got to this point in things. Uh So, Yeah, like I said, if you have any thoughts for what we should do for the Freedom Hut podcast, let's uh let buck know. I don't know why I just went third

person there. It's being a little weird today. I'm gonna lie it being a little weird. But also please do check out our sponsors folks. Where we be heading into the the end of the end of the year. Here we want to finish out. I guess it's a little early to say that, but it's almost August. We want to finish out real strong, So please do checkout sponsors you've heard about throughout the show. Spread the podcast to a friend of your is a very very helpful thing

for you to do. And uh yeah, let us know your thoughts. Facebook dot com, slash buck Sexton. The buck Sexton dot com website relaunch is imminent, not quite not quite there yet, but soon we'll be very soon. So that's exciting stuff. Until tomorrow.
