"Walls Work, Walls Save Lives"

coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, you're a great American. Again, The Buck Sexton Show begins. Sexton, No, last year, Quarez had one thousand, two hundred murders. El Paso, right next door a few feet away, had twenty three murders. Walls work, Actually, there's nothing like them for what we're talking about. We want to stop drugs, we want to stop traffickers, we

want to stop criminals from coming in. Walls save lives. The amount of money that is here, it would take twenty years to complete the wall. So are we going to wait for twenty years to stop drug traffickers. Are we going to wait for twenty years to stop human trafficking? Are we gonna wait twenty years to allow cartels to control our southern border? I hope not. We can do better than that. We should do better than that. Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show Live from New York City today,

the Freedom Hunt packed going back to its roots here NYC. So, which is it, folks? Walls work, but not enough money for the wall? Wise that? So I want to explain that one or try to. We have now gathered all the information as a country, had had this debate in public, and we know that walls work. But Democrats still don't want to sufficiently fund a wall just a little tiny bit, A little tiny bit, I mean more than say Nancy Pelosi was going to offer up not long ago when

she was saying, oh, she would give how much? Was it is in a situation which you would accept even a dollar of wall funding for this president in order to reopen the government a dollar? Hahaha? Nancy? What looks like they're giving about a billion times and change that. But it's still not enough money. It is not enough money, will not build a wall fast enough. The crisis is getting works. The system is getting increasingly overloaded. I mentioned

the very top here. We're gonna have the chief of border patrol from the Obama years to join us, and then don't don't change that dial. Don't be like, hey, well Buck, we don't. We don't need to hear any of that. None of this guy's he's a professional. He's a practitioner, somebody who did who did the work at the border and knows what was going on there. And he's gonna come on. I've I've talked to him before.

I talked him this morning actually on Rising and he's like, look, the Democrats are just wrong on this, just they're just not telling the truth or they don't know. We need a wall. There is a crisis. This is Obama's border patrol chief, Okay, under the Obama years. And I'm gonna ask him about that in depth. That'll come up the next hour. You should definitely stick around for that. There

there is no more there's no expert group. And I heard this so much from the Democrats and from the left and the media and all their lackeys on MS and CNN and the rest. There is no experts say walls don't work. That's a lie. It's alive. I've heard so many times, but you know we have to counter it repeatedly. If I just tell you, if I come on the show and tell you once, well you know you're gonna hear it from other people a hundred times.

At walls don't work. If you watch some of the left wing, which I hope you don't do, but if you do, that's fine. You know some of the left wing cable news channels out there and some of you, we're gonna aren't gonna hear me that day on that show. You know, we have to fight back. I mean, this is a messaging war, so we have to repeatedly shoot down their lies because they are lying it is. They

are mendacious on this issue. Keep doing it. I do think, however, the White House is overselling what a win this is. It's just it's not enough money. And the options I suppose are shut down, which happened, would happen this weekend shut down and declare national emergency shut down and try to ride it out again, which I don't think the

administration has a stomach for. And we're just signed this thing, and then declare some kind of national emergency and keep in mind that there are federal statutes in place already that would allow the President of the United States, as the commander in chief, to use d D funding to construct barriers that would prevent the importation of dangerous and illegal substances drugs in the United States. Trump has the legal authority to just build a wall, they'd have to

shift some money around. I kind of like what Ted Cruz was saying about having El Chapo pay for it, assuming we could seize those assets in Mexico. Wouldn't try to challenge that, you know, I don't know, But if Mexico try to challenge that, then I would just say, hey, Mexico, guess about the twenty billion a year in untaxed remittances

that you get for your economy. This that cold, hard cash it's being sent back to your country from America from predominantly not entirely, but from a lot of illegal aliens as well as legal ones. That money. We're gonna start taxing that. So we we have leverage. We have levers that we can use with Mexico on this. But I still think that the wall absolutely needs to get built. But I wanted to also just take a moment here

to enjoy. Another phenomenon that is occurring right now, and that is Democrats are increasingly triggered by the words of the leaders of their own party. Democrats become upset when you do really nasty, unfair things to them, like print their policy documents, read their quotes, play videos of them saying what they believe. This has now become mean. It's mean to Ocasio Cortez to talk about what's really in

the Green New Deal. It's mean to Representative Omar to point out what she says and what she thinks on foreign policy. I mean, just go down the list. You know, these are things that you would think the Democrats would be excited. Why aren't they excited to say, take a

vote on the Green New Deal? I mean. Mitch McConnell, known to some of us as Cocaine Mitch, which is a joke that I'm sure many of you familiar with, has to do a crazy ad that I think ran in West Virginia about Mitch McConnell some I'm candidate, and it just caught on became a meme. I have it on good authority that Mitch McConnell finds that funny. By the way that he finds the Cocaine Mitch stuff funny. So it's okay. He laughs about it too. But people I'll call him Cocaine Mitch, and they do a lot

of memes like he's Tony Montana from from Scarface. They'll they'll photo shop Mitch McConnell's face on a Tony Montana, you know. And Mitch McConnell had had this idea that I think is great, which is, let's have Democrats senators that are especially because there's a lot of Democrats centors that are gonna be running for the presidency, let's have them. It was Don Blankenship that ran the ad. Nice. Yeah, remember that ad Cocaine Mitch. You know, he started just

mumbling about something about cocaine. Everyone's like what. That was one of the craziest ads for any political race that anyone's ever seen. That was nuts anyway, So Mitch McConnell has this idea, we'll hold on a second, let's just have people who say, therefore, the Green New Deal as it stands right now. And then the media has been running all kinds of interference for just how stupid the Green New Deal really is. I mean, first of just this the grandiose language. This is gonna be a new deal,

it's all. It's never gonna happen. I mean, I certainly hope not. It would destroy the economy, but it's unlikely this thing will ever even become a law. But this is a get the base fired up tactic from the left right. This is the base trying to be all or. This is the Democrats rather trying to get their base all excited about just how progressive and radical and all these new ideas that they have. And Mitch McConnell had

this crazy idea. His idea was, let's just have these senators, the Democrats sentators, vote on this, because if you get them on the record voting in favor of this massive transformation of the American economy, that makes it harder for them later on to say, yeah, you know, I wasn't really I wasn't really so down with that whole Green New Deal thing. You know, Nancy Pelosi, somebody who talks, who talks a big game about climate change because she

knows that the base likes it. But when you'll notice, when the Green New Deal came out, she was like, yeah, that's cute. I mean, she wasn't taking it seriously. Tells you about how unserious the whole thing was. But I like that Mitch now takes the approach of let's just let the Democrats be Democrats. Let's show the American people what the Democratic Party is really about, which is socialism and fanticide, open borders, higher taxes, less economic growth, less

personal freedom. Let's just let people see this for what it is. Because they don't have a Hillary candidate now. They don't have some some establishment figure that has been propped up and a narrative has been crafted around that person of being a centrist, a competent technocrat, all just mythology around Hillary. They don't really have that person. Now you have a Democrat primary that's looking like it's going

to be a total free for all. There's really no front runner at all at this point, and sometimes this takes so I understand sometimes it takes a while to consolidate. You look at you know when John Kerry consolidated his lead. It happened after the first few states. So we're early in this. I understand that I don't want to get too far ahead of us. But Democrats in my lifetime have never started out with as radical and left wing

a platform is what you're seeing right now. And I think Mitch is right to try to get them on the record, you know. I think Mitch is right to see that the Democrats shouldn't have to Actually, they should have to drink the medicine that they're trying to foist on the rest of the American people, and they should have to they should have to be users of their

own products, so to speak. Yeah, you like this Green New Deal stuff, go on the record and talk and go on the record so that way later on you have to defend this, and you can't just pretend that this was some passing media fad that had nothing to do with anything. Green New Deal is basically crazy. So meanwhile, Kirsten Gillibrand, who doesn't seem to know much about anything, from what I can gather, she's a big fan of this. We want to see a green economy in the next decade,

not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Part of the Green New Deal there's some really important components like clean air and clean water as a right, cleaning up all these super fun sites and all these brown fields, making sure we invest in green technologies and teach young people how to build solar panels and do wind turbines and geothermal and hydropower and biofuels, like that's important and exciting. There's so much opportunity in this bill for economic growth

and really fixing things that are broken. She just has no idea what she's talking about. Doesn't understand how business works, doesn't understand how these technologies work. It's just blather. It's just nonsense. You're going to teach young people about solar panels? What or how did I think? Did you say how to make solar panels? That's what it sounded like the meaning. But I was like, that will be here. That sounds

like a fun class. Welcome to solar panel making one oh one, where you will be able to make exactly one solar panel over the course of the semester. That's not a fun class. I don't want to be in that class. So these are the Democrats. We are seeing who they are, We're seeing what their agenda is for the country, and it's you can tell. I think there's an exhalation of relief from a lot of people in

Trump world. It's like, oh, that's right, Look, it's not the Trump administration hasn't been perfect, wall hasn't been built. There's things that still has to get done. We got to hold their feet to the fire, no doubt. But at least they're not the Democrats. That's what you've really had our last month or so. Is this point in time when we all get to remember, Oh, our side is at least trying to grapple with reality as it is trying to come up with ways to make this

country better and stronger and all that stuff. Democrats are like, let's just pretend that we're in some kind of a fantasy land and just make it up as we go along. Clean energy, green energy, the jobs. I also I hate when politicians say invest in. What that means is take money from you, the taxpayer, and direct it to cronies

and pet projects and things that they just like. Because if there's an idea out there, let me tell you, I know a lot of people that spend a lot of time searching for good investments, and they're actually hard to find. You know why that is because when you have a really obvious investment out there, would you have

an obvious investment opportunity? People take it. The reason there's not more money flooding into green energy, and there's not more independent, free market capitalism based funding for these green energy projects. It's because they don't make financial sense. That's why the reason you need all these government guarantees, things like the Cylindra boondoggle of the Obama era. You will call hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer guarantees for

those loans. The reason you need that is because the market will not bear what the Democrats say it will when it comes to these technologies. They are not cost efficient enough, they are not competitive enough. When they are, they'll be more of it. They're getting closer, but they're not there yet. The biggest problem the Democrats have is that they're Democrats. At the end of the day, that's the good news for us. We much more coming up.

Teams stay right there. The President wants to see what the final package looks like and he'll make a decision. At that point, they're still tinkering and making edits to that legislation, and once we see what the final piece looks like, the President can make that decision. But you can rest assured. The President promised he was going to build the wall, and he's going to deliver and this has made some progress. Nancy Pelosi said she wasn't going

to give a dollar for the wall. This has roughly one point four billion dollars that'll go towards the wall. The whole country knows that we need and knows that the president is going to make happen. In total, it gives about twenty three billion dollars in border security, which is desperately needed. It expands ice versus abolish his ice, like we've heard some Democrats talk about in the past.

So there are some positives in this bill. There are some positives, but it's not great, okay, And look, Sarah Sanders is there to speak for the White House, and she's obviously going to look for the positive in this situation, as she should. But it's not great or not. I'm not here to tell you, oh, yeah, that's amazing. No, it's less money than he would have gotten initially for the wall, and or less money we've out in for

porter security overall. It turns out there is some new fencing that is being built the southern border I had to do with an earlier appropriation, I think, but it is going to get done this year and it is going to go up in the It is already going up in the Rio Grand sector, but I think it's like five miles, so that's not it helps, hey, producer, Mike. Every little bit helps, you know what I mean, Every

little bit helps. But on the other side of this equation you have the Democrats, who increasingly now people are realizing two very important parts of the immigration debate. One is that Wall's work and to say otherwise is stupid and a lie. The other part, though, is that Democrats are the partner of open borders. They want open borders, they believe in this. They love of illegal aliens more than they love Americans, based on the sound of what

they say. Blake clip two. We are fighting for the landstanding principle and the landstanding progressive principle, like the people who build this country. Standing in this country there where black fighting for the people whose hands have built this country to be honored and respecting in the United States of America. We are here to make sure that all the fans recipients become permanent members of United States. Yep, that's right. Illegal aliens are the ones building America, you see,

They're the ones that are building America. We owe them legal steps. We owe them citizenship because because they've done so much for all of us. See, they take this whole dynamic and they flip it around. You would think that shouldn't people that are in the country illegally, who've been living here in America and benefiting from our services in this economy and the safety and security of this country,

shouldn't they be thankful? No, no, no no, no no. The left, the Democrat view on this is that we owe them this, that we should be thankful to them, to the illegal alien that has been in this country, the millions and millions of them for many years. See, it all gets completely turned around. This is how the Democratic Party views it. Though Okazio Cortez there, as crazy as she sounds, she

is not an outlier. She is now for Democrats in the mainstream, which is there should be a mass amnesty and anyone who wants to come to this country legally otherwise should be allowed to stay as long as they vote Democrat, which we know is very likely that they are going to. He's holding the line for America. Buck sexty is back. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States, undetected, undocumented unchecked and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who entered

the US legally. We must control our borders, must protect our borders. We know that dolls do not save lives, willskins, lives. There is no bargain in which we can sacrifice some of our humanity to gain a little more security. It's just like I just forgot it, like really emotional. And to the thirty people who are at my rally, like all of you, I just want you to watch my Instagram live stream that I'm gonna do later of like me making avocado toasts because I'm like really hip millennials

like me. My name is Beto. Notice how we started out there with a bunch of Democrats saying stuff that today would be considered super racist, producer Mike super racist. Can't treat illegal aliens the way they treat the rest of people because we have laws about that stuff. That's terrible, mean thing. Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer should have to apologize for all of this. Of course he won't because it wasn't It's actually not racist, right, Democrats knew that then.

But what has changed since then? What's changed is that we've learned more about the immigration issue, because we now have an administration that speaks about it without all of the propaganda and the talking points just stacked on top of itself so that you can't get to any truth. You can't get to any honest in the discussion. It's all just America is a nation of immigrants. Walls don't work. Immigrants, illegal or otherwise are better than Americans, Like, can we

stop with that? This has been conventional wisdom from the left and from the mainstream media for a very long time, and now it is finally starting to crumble out. I think there's a bit of panic in the media because they will eventually have to reckon with the fact that the American people do not want continued waves of illegal aliens coming into the country, which is why they're going to push very hard as soon as possible for a

mass amnesty. Now. They want a mass amnesty now. They want this to be an issue that doesn't have to be dealt with really anymore, because it is finished. As I've told you many times, once you give permanent status, once somebody has a green card or citizenship or whatever it is that had been an illegal alien, you're never going to be able to turn that around. You're never going to be able to make that make that not

the case. So I do think that there's a point in time here where we're either going to cross crossover and become a country that all of a sudden take sovereignty seriously, a country that believes that it has a right to enforce its borders and its immigration laws, or else where we are going to just slowly but surely have borders that are effectively non existent. They will dissolve, they'll become checkpoints, but not borders, meaning you have to stop and check in. You have to say, hey, I

want to come to America. But that's all that it takes. I mean, just think of it this way. I still have people that will go on TV. I see people going on TV and those say it's not illegal to claim asylum. This is a really disingenuous talking point, because yes, of course it's not illegal to claim asylum. The problem is that people are breaking laws in the asylum process. Right.

Let's say that you had people that were walking into a bank and they were when the teller wasn't looking, stealing money out of the teller tray, which obviously this wouldn't be a very secure bank. But just stay with me for this. If you had people that kept going on TV saying it's not illegal to walk into a bank, you'd say, well, yeah, but that's not the point. The point is what happens when they're in the bank. In our asylum process, Yeah, it's not illegal to claim asylum.

It's illegal to lie to try to get asylum, and then it's illegal to not show up for your hearing where you find out whether or not you qualify for asylum. So what they do is that they just repeat these things that make it sound like there's no problem, but of course there's a problem, and the reason they don't want to deal with it is it's really it's a

combination of they have been told. I mean, the reason the Democrat Party has moved so far left on immigration is yes, it is first and foremost about power, and they understand that this is votes for their party and this is going to create a one party supermajority in this country for the rest of our lifetimes and probably our children and children's lifetimes. If they manage to get a mass amnesty for twenty million people, think about what

that does the electorate. If you have twenty million people who demographically vote seventy percent or higher for the Democratic Party, say goodbye to ever having another Republican president in your lifetime. That's what we're talking about. That is what's really at stake, which is also why state and federal agencies don't want to tell us what the number of illegal aliens are. I mean, shouldn't it bother more people that we are

told that it is. I think now they'll say twelve million because it's gotten a little too hard to cling to that eleven million. Shouldn't it bother more people that the federal government has not only no idea, but has clearly an interest in lying about how many illegal aliens in the country. No serious. We have the Obama administration's head of border patrol joining us in just a few minutes. You're gonna, I think, find his conversation with me fascinating.

I mean, I've talked to him this morning on the Hill, and I wanted him come on tonight so you could hear from him. Because there's what the people that have expertise say about this issue, and then there's what the blathering, chattering, you know, claptrap class of the pundits and the media and the rest of its say about this, and they are not the same thing. They are not the same thing. But you know, if we're going to fix this, we have to at least start from the premise of, you know, how,

how are we how big is the problem? And they don't want to assess how big the problem is because I think they know that there would be outrage one about the fact that we've been lied to and the government has been so wrong for so long about this, that the media has no curiosity about this whatsoever, And that a bunch of math whizzes at Yale looked at all the available data numbers and came back and said, you know what, it's twenty million just based on based

on the data that we already have, it's got to be at least twenty million. And if you think about this too, it's it was fifty thousand last month. None of them are going back to Honduras. None, I'm going back to Mexico or else Salvador or Nicaragua. It's fifty thousand a month, twelve months in a year, half a million people a year, and that's been for the last few years. You're gonna tell me that the number is just, oh,

it's eleven millie. I mean this, you know. I don't mean to harp on this, to plow the same field too many times on the issue of the number, but it's just indicative of how this whole conversation needs to change. I think Trump is trying to change it. There's so much dishonest you wrapped into this. There's so much unwillingness to confront the truth. And a lot of it comes from Republicans too. A lot of it comes from the GOP establishment that is completely in the pocket of the

donor class. That is a real thing. A lot of Democrats will criticize that it is true. There are a lot of GOOP reps out there. There's a lot of Republican politicians who are sellouts to the ideals of their party and sellouts even to what they say they stand for. I aim to stand for small government, claim to care about, you know, people in the working class and those with small businesses who are affected by this issue of a

legal immigration and among many other issues. So we will see if this is going to be the moment the Trump administration finally gets a win on this. I think we've been it's been a little paltry. I'm disappointed in what we've had so far. I like the fight, but I need to see an administration that is going to use the power that it has and make a declaration make a declaration right up front, right now of not

just a declaration of emergency. That's one way to go, but the president should just say these are the sectors where we've been told by the experts the wall should be built. I have statutory authority to do it. I'm just gonna start doing it. I'm just gonna start building the wall. Let the courts try to shut him down. Let's have the American people see how lawfare is the response of the Democratic party to democratic elections that don't go their way. I got to talk about Ilhan Omar

coming up. Then we have Obama's border patrol chief joining us in a little bit. You'll want to hear that. Stick around now to the President, he's calling for Omar to get out, and that is interesting because he seemed to say something very similar to what Omar said when addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition in twenty fifteen. You're not going to support me because I don't want your money. You want to control your own politician. That's fine. Now

why is it difference? Is it because Omar's Muslim? And where's it his job? Representative Omar's tweets for a disgrace. Anti Semitism has no place in the United States Congress or anywhere in our country or the free world. Unless Representative Omar resigns from Congress a minimum, Democrat leaders should remove her from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Isn't that just a classic a classic moment there from pro Quoma.

Way is the same? Different or the same? You've got Cuomo over at CNN who is trying to say, oh is it what is Yeah? Trump is an anti Semite? Is that really he's really gonna go with that one? Or Trump said the same thing. Everybody understands that there are different interest groups, and there are different public policy foundations and packs and think tanks, and that there's money

involved in these things. They're pushing different ideas. But when you are a person who has already been saying things about how you think that Israel has hypnotized the world as Omar has, and then you say it's all about the Benjamin's and you know there's a context. I think it's so fascinating. Liberals are the ones who believe that people, based on who they are, can't even say certain words,

not allowed to say certain words. Liberals are the ones who believe that every time a person makes any comment, who they are ethnically religiously has to be taken into account. And the ones who get to judge all of this are, of course liberals right the left. They get to determine are you allowed to oh, are you allowed to say that? No? As buck a buck is a white male, what is he allowed to say? Basically nothing except sorry, sorry for my privilege. Sorry, that's all I'm really allowed to say.

But ilhan omar, somebody who comes from the Muslim world is a Muslim. Based on the liberal approach to these things, when you have somebody who is a Muslim who is particularly anti Israel and talks about the money that the Jews have that hypnotizes the world, these comments that they make one after another, you would say this person has

a history of and a mindset of anti Semitism. That it's it's not as simple as just well, anyone who says that any groups use money in politics, everyone's being anti Semitic right now, but they erase all contexts rectly. To talk to Michael Malice later on about this, because this is a very important point that when when liberalsy and opening they go, they become hyper literalist. You know, every word means exactly what the word means. It doesn't matter.

There's no jokes or there's no subtlety, there's no nuance, there's no context. If that means that they can bash the other side, that's what they do, and on their side, the words don't even mean what the words say. On their side, how Casio Cortez's office didn't put out some insanity about cow farts and no airplane travel and the Green New Deal. Frequently asked questions, oh no, wait she did.

They did what we can try to find all these ways to well, but it was but no, no, they did, and they should have to deal with the consequences of that decision making and showing us what they really believe, and really just how ignorant they are. It's not even about how radical they are, it's how stupid they are. That's the problem that Green New Deal. Remember that people saying, oh, it's because they're so because radical people say it almost

sounds like it's revolutionary, like they're being brave. No, they're being idiots, are being idiots. Producer Mike, did you know that Corey Booker among Yeah, that's right, Spartacus. Among all of his flaws, you know, he's a vegan. Yeah, that's the biggest offensive all I was gonna say. I mean America. You know, America is a very very diverse, very welcoming place for all kinds of folks. But this country is

not ready for a vegan president. No way. Could you imagine in that debate with Trump and Booker over meat, like Trump will come out on the stage with like five thousand big Max. And also, I mean, nobody likes that guy or gal. That's like, do you realize that you're wearing the skin of animals on your feet? Do you realize that it's only because of honey beef servitude that you can put that honey in your tea? It's like, no one likes that person. That cows are Cows are

being you know, shackled, and their utters are overflowing. I'm like, yeah, milk is delicious. Like well, it's I didn't know. I didn't know till they that that Booker is a vegan, and he's saying that our meat consumption is unsustainable by the way he's done, no way. There's a lot of things Americans can't agree on right now, but a solid majority of us still loves meat. Thank heavens for that. This campaign is unsustainable. His campaign is unsustainable. It's not

it's not going anywhere. I think it's uh. I think it's bad, bad shape. But oh wait, Representative Omar though, back to this, back to this whole issue is getting a lot of attention this week. She is surprised by all this she says, which I think is interesting. I've stated all of it in my statement apologize today, But what have you learned from her comments and the reaction from it. I've stated all of it in my statement. Be sure that was stated in my statement. Pretty surprised

by criticism always, are you worried about losing committee assignment? Look, she's going with the real defensive pr strategy there, it's in my statement. It's in my statement. This is somebody who likes to wax philosophical on a whole range of topics. But I think she decided that it was time to trying to batten down the hatches A little bit. It was not it was not going well here. Um, look, we all know that ilhan Omar we we we see that.

Do we have that exchange that she had with with Elliott Elliot Abrams that happened, that was interesting, that happened today too. And we all know that she's she's very left wing and her politics have very left wing, and she is a Muslim and is very concerned with the state of Israel. And you know, a lot of this

stuff lines up. We we know enough about people to know, you know, the same way that if you are somebody who goes to church on Sunday, believes in the right to bear arms, believes in in being pro life, you know you're going to have other other ideas well, likely attached to that. Somebody who hates Israel thinks that APAC controls US foreign policy with its money. Uh, and it thinks that America was doing terrible things. And you know, well, rather the outcome in Al Salvador is a terrible thing,

and America's in Central America. All the stuff we've done is bad. You know, this is left This is left wing stuff. So it's not really surprising that you have ilhan Omar saying any of this. What is interesting though, is the Left they're gonna always try to create a different standard for her. She's a minority's female, she's Muslim, so that that ticks off three boxes for them, so they'll always be more protective of her, give her more leeway than they will, say, you know, a white male.

But she can't even stay within the boundaries of that artificial intersectionality based protection. She still manages to go too far. And look, she's been condemned by both parties. It's not really much here, but you know, this is what happens when you have the Democratic Party embracing identity politics so much. They just have different standards for different people based on where they're from and how they look. Is how Democrats do things, which it wasn't the case, but this is

this is who the Democratic Party has become. We have much more common team. I'll be right back, all right. So you're ready to bring on somebody new to your business. You're all excited, the resume looks good, everything's ready to go. Right. Before you can give that person their keycard and give them their credentials and make them a part of your business,

you got to have background checks done. Whatever business you're in, large or small, background checks are essential, and that's why I tell you to go to the people I trust. Global Verification Network. Blobal Verification Network is the only dual certified veteran owned background investigation and vetting company. They got headquarters in Chicago, but their risk mitigation experts can handle

cases all across the country. So if you have a need for background checks, or if you already have somebody doing them, but you don't think it's really working out for you, you really should check out my friends at Global Verification Network. Just give them a call, tell them what you need, and let them walk you through what they can do for you. Eight seven seven six nine five one one seven nine. That's eight seven seven six nine five A nine, Or go to my GVN dot com.

The numbers are almost twenty three billion dollars, which you will report too often. It's about an eight percent increase over last year. So if you look at the total funding it's over, it's almost up to twenty three billion dollars. It's about eight percent higher. The border area is happening, it's going to happen at a really rapid pace. We're giving out contracts right now, and we're going to have a great wall. It's going to be a great, powerful wall.

People will not be able to get through that wall very easily. And I think you see that. I think you see it happening. It's very important. It'll also have technology, it'll have drones, it'll have everything else we have. If you look at the other elements, ICE funding will be complete. We have other things happening which people aren't talking about, but we've got a lot of funds for a lot

of other things. There your President Trump updating all of us on where the border wall funding fight currently stands. I'm going to bring in a voice that I think you all need to hear from. This is Mark Morgan. He is the former Border Patrol Chief of the Obama administration. Okay, so let's just keep in mind this is somebody who served under the Obama administration as Border Patrol chief. March one, thanks so much for calling in. Thanks Buck, you bet

all right. Let's start with some of the basics, and I want to drill down to the specifics about the situation at our southern border, the fence, the wall. But stay staying right in the center of your wheelhouse. Here, people say the wall doesn't work or fences don't work. And U, as somebody who knows the issue inside and out, what do you say. I'd say that's completely false, Buck, that is a false narrative. And a couple of things

that think are really important. And I encourage American citizens, all your listeners to research this. Two thousand and six I bipartisan bill, the Secure Fence Act, both sides of the side of the aisle voted for it. It led to six hundred and fifty four miles of barrier being built. Yeah,

let's let's look at the facts. Let's go to Tucson, Let's go to um El Paso, San Diego, human Arizona, for example, in two thousand and six, when the when the barrier started being built, twenty three miles and barrier you're threw in some technology and personnel. The illegal immigration went from about one hundred and forty one hundred and fifty thousand to less than fifteen thousand. Overall crime in that area went way down. And I could give you

a fact after fact after fact. Walls work. And here's here's one more important thing is that when when I say that, is that it's got to be part of a multi layer strategy of infrastructure, the wall, technology and personnel. When you put all those in strategical location, absolutely works. Data facts say it works. What does it make you?

What does it make you think? When when you hear the way that I mean, look, let's just be honest, ding The Democrats have taken a tone about border patrol in recent years and about immigrations and customs enforcement, or even more recently as we saw this past summer, where they say things like ice should be abolished. They indicate that the problem that we really have is the men and women who are trying to enforce immigration laws. Just how do you feel about that? And also when did

this change happen? I mean, did you can you tell me when all of a sudden one of the major political parties decided that they were no longer in favor of securing the border. Because to be honest, man, I don't see how people can make the argument that the Polo season the schumers of the world do want to secure the border right now? So Buck, I agree, And first of all, thank you so much for asking that.

So I feel okay speaking on behalf of the men and women who are risking their lives every single day to answer on their behalf. And when somebody says the vile things that they say about ICE and about the Border Patrol, I am disgusted. It is reckless and is irresponsible. Today, one hundred and twenty eight Border Patrol agents have lost their lives defending the front lines of this country, trying

to protect everybody. In the last two years, ICE have arrested two hundred and sixty six thousand criminal aliens, one hundred thousand assault, thirty thousand sexual crimes, four thousand kidnap, these four thousand homicides, remove six thousand gang or non suspective gang members, and I could keep going on and on. Yet they want to call ICE bile disgusting thing while they're out there risking our lives, saving people's lives and

getting bad people off the streets. It's disgusting, it's reckless, and it's got to stop, and we need to call them on it. What does Border Patrol need right now? I mean, based on the numbers of people that are coming to the border now, both coming in through the massive asylum loophole that still is there and that Congress has to address as well. As all the illegal drug smuggling and other other activities, other illicit activities that are

going on in adding around the border region. What does border patrol need right now to get the job done. And in terms of the funding we're talking about here one point two five billion, is that going to cut it? No, So so let's let's take the latter first. So again from from a law enforcement border security aspect only, right, no politics, I'm not a politician that the one point three that the current proposal, as we've heard about, it's a failure. It does not get the folks the resources

they need. Border patrols CDP as a whole, including office field operations that makes up a CDP. They've been very clear what they need and it's it's been and they've been very clear for a long time. As part of what they need to shut down the avenue in between the ports of entry and secure the ports of entry, they need a multilayered strategy of the infrastructure, of technology,

and personnel. The five point seven which they said they need, they prioritize the highest areas and they said, it's very clear what we need two hundred and thirty additional miles of barrier plus additional technology and additional personnel. That's what we need to start making a dent and shutting down the cartels. This proposal, to me, all it did was continue to make the cartels rich and put our country at risk. To Mark Morgan, he was the chief of

Border Patrol under the Obama administration. Folks, So, well, you're hearing people say, oh, it's just it's just Trump's border patrol that says that offense would be helpful. No, No, it's just practitioners, professionals, people that are supposed to and as their mission, secure the border. They're the ones that are saying that a fence that barriers more barriers than

we already have would be helpful. But Mark, if I could ask you a bit about the ICE, the immigrations and customs enforcement side of this equation, because really, and a border patrol in San Diego told me that they wished that there was more of a synergy, a bureaucratic synergy between ICE and border patrol, and that would just make things easier. So that's one point that I thought was interesting that they repeatedly made to me. But also it's clear that ICE is an important piece of this

whole immigration equation. And when I see that the Democrats want to fund fewer beds for people entertainment, what's that all about? Why? Why would Democrats who claim to want to secure the border right now along with Republicans, why would they want fewer ice attention beds? So, look, this is another a great question, and I'm doing my best

to stay a political book. But but it's impossible for me because when you talk about reducing the ice beds, there is no conclusion except they want to do two things, right, they want to abolish ice via checkbook. By doing that, Look, you don't have to be a mathematician. Look if you if you reduce the bedspace for ice to detain people, and by the way, immigration right, illegal immigration is increasing, Right, you don't have to be a mathematician. That is what

I'm referring to is catching release two point zero. We already have catching release one point zero from family units uncompanied children because of our asylum laws and floor's decisions that once they set one foot on American soil, they're allowed into the United States, no questions asked. That's catch released one point zero. By reducing the beds, you're forcing ice you're gonna force ICE to release people. Right now,

ICE has forty nine thousand people in detention. Eighty seven percent of them have been committed of a crime or charged with the crime, and or suspective gang members. That is unconsortable. By reducing events, they're going to have to they will be forced to let criminals back in the streets.

So these aren't just and this is I know that you're hitting this point home, but just to reiterate for everybody, when we're talking about ICE detention beds, there's overwhelmingly these are people that are being held for crimes in addition to their illegal status, including sixteen hundred murderers, which I think is a number that people need to keep in mind.

I mean, Mark, what was I mean? I just think it's interesting to understand the progression here, how we got to this point about about the crisis of the border, about what's going on at the border. Do you remember from an executive prioritization perspective when you were the head of Border Patrol and the Obama administration, what decisions were made from the top down that you think now, whether at the time or in retrospect, we're mistake. Look I

My goal is not to talk ill. But the fact is in twenty sixteen and people, hey, don't listen to me. Now go back to my congressional testimony. In twenty and sixteen, we were having the humanitarian crisis back to Bend as well as well as the nastal security crisis. This isn't a new crisis. We've been saying this for a very very long time. My perspective is is that we called this a national security crisis, we called it humanitarian crisis

back then, and we have been for a while. In my position to answer your question about I feel it was ignored. I feel just a general ignoring of the issue and not bring it to life. The one thing that you can say about this president, and you can talk about the style all you want, but he has brought greater national tension to this very very critical issue for our country than ever before when I was chief,

I believe it was ignored. And just before we let you go, Mark, there's a debate about whether walls work or not, which I think is farcical. But and I'm glad that you've weighed in as an expert and as a practitioner of border security. UM that walls obviously do work, but also there's there's an off there's a repeated talking point off for pe to talking point among Democrats that

the crisis is manufactured. There is no crisis. Gavin Newsom, the governor California, just said, I think it was yesterday, there is no crisis. This is all nonsense. You've used the word crisis a lot. What do you say to people say there is no crisis? So I think that's I was just talking about another call of you about that. I mean, what do you say to somebody when when you give statistics out about the incredible hundreds and hundreds, you know, pounds of narcotic that come in through the

southwest border. Ninety percent of the heron that leads to sixty thousand overdose in the country come from Southwest border. People are being human traffic, young women and children are being sexually expoited for their live. We have semis thirteen porn through our border. Are permitting those cities in our country, and we could go on and on and on with the staffs. What that tells me is is identity politics.

They were refusing, refusing to acknowledge the facts, and they'd rather they would rather stick to their political party and protect their political party more than protect this country. That's what that says to me. From a law enforcement border security perspective that I know, that's what that tells me. Mark, Thanks so much for joining us, man. We really really do appreciate it. Obama's former chief of Border patrol. Folks, you heard it from him. Thanks so much, my friend,

They've been investigating this Russia hoax for two years, think of it. They've interviewed over two hundred people, They've studied hundreds of thousands of documents and pages, and Richard just announced that they

found no collusion between Donald Trump and Russia. I've had the CNN monitor on the in the Freedom Hunt here for quite a while now a couple of hours I put the SoundOff, obviously a Fox on too, so that I don't feel like all hope is lost in the world. I have not seen a single story pretty so much. Have you seen a single story about how the Senate Intel Committee has finished their report no collusion. I just

haven't seen that story. Somehow, on the Chiron, we're looking at the verb a girl across the screen here because I've got what a closed captioning there you go, I haven't seen it. No, it's non existent. Today I am seeing that the judge's decision is they're waiting on whether Maniford lied to the Mother team in violation of his plea Deal's well, let me ask everybody this, what's a bigger story. Maybe maybe Manaford, who is already going to prison for a long time, lied in violation of his

plea deal. Or the fact that the Senate Intel Committee, which has access to classified which has the ability to subpoena documents, to invest, to investigate, and to interrogate or question people that it wants to as witnesses and all this that it came out with the report that says, yeah, there's no there's no collusion. Sorry, we're not able to find it. I think we all know the answer to that. But you know, meanwhile, the Washington Post, the maybe this

thing happened analysis is what they're falling back on. Now. This is the Post and an analysis piece, which is just a fancy way of saying an editorial that we want to try to give more credibility to if there was collusion with Russia. Here's where it might have occurred. You know, if I were, you know, seven feet tall and could jump forty inches, I might be an NBA basketball player. But I am neither of those things. So why is that something that anyone needs to hear? If

there was collusion. Here's what might have happened. Well, I think about how where this stops. It doesn't not anywhere. If Hillary Clinton was essentially running a money laundering operation through the Clinton Foundation for herself and her husband and selling it. Oh no, that's that actually happened. But we don't.

We don't have to get too far with the hypotheticals there. This, though, is where you're going to see a media that gets really nasty and you're going to see them feel really insecure. Media's full of a lot of very insecure people to begin with, but they know that this is they're running out of time. They are running out of time with the Russia collusion delusion, and that's why you're starting to

see this. Well, it's my favorite, really, of all of these ridiculous positions they take, is well, maybe we already proved Russia collusion. Have you seeing that all we need to know about is the Trump Tower meeting. I'm like, oh, okay, stop the presses. Somebody called Mueller. He already found it a long long time ago. I don't think so, folks,

I don't think so. But there are there are major news organizations that are going to have to hide from their their peers in the media, people like me, because I will not forget what they have done for the last two years, which is light their credibility on fire in an effort to pander to the sensibilities of Trump, draining an audience that has overcome with Trump's arrangement syndrome. That is the reality of what has been going on here.

I see that the Senate voted today to put Bill Barr through further on in the process, so he's closer. He's closer now to being a the new attorney general. And I think, look, I think he's going to be a very effective attorney general. I think that he'll do

a good job in the role. But everyone has been saying that once there's a new attorney well, these sources people have been telling me, once there's a new attorney general, that's when you might have the Muller report finally given to because it has to go to the Attorney general. People have forgotten all along that these are executive branch employees. Muller is an executive branch employee. His boss is a subordinate of the presidents. So you know, when people keep saying, oh, well,

did Whittaker, has he been briefed on this? He's supposed to be briefed on this. There has been a false conception, and it's intentionally created by the media where the Mueller probe is this island unto itself that has no accountability and no oversight. The possible exception of Rod Rosenstein, who is a from what everything I'm told, a bad guy and is very anti Trump and very opposed to you know, Trump twenty twenty and all that. I mean, he is not on forget about being on team Trump. He's just

not on the straight and narrow here. I mean, he's been a partisan actor in this behind the scenes the whole time. But they know that when Bill Barr comes along, here's a guy who was attorney general, who has a very strong record, and they're not gonna be able to

say that he is. You know, They're not gonna be able to come up with some reason to explain how he's not qualified, so he's going to become the ag and then this whole collusion probe may come to an end, and the Democrats are just going to be like kids in a grocery store at the at the counter when they want to buy bubblegum and mom says no. They're just gonna say, you know, I'm gonna hold my breath.

I'm gonna hold my breath. They're not going to be able to engage in any kind of real debate with anyone who knows anything about the Mulla probe because or about Russia collusion and the Trump administration, because it's all over man. I mean, they don't have the goods we've known. They haven't had the goods, and people should be held to account for this. I mean people in the media who were just smug liars and clowns this whole time because they hate Trump so much they would say anything. Well,

now we should say why are you so dumb? We should ask a lot of very prominent people in the media that question. One thing that I noticed with sexual violence is that there are many people who would like to glance away from this. But what and who we glance away from says so much about what our priorities as a society, and it says so much about our health and our emotional well being. Don't be afraid to see survivors for who they are. That was doctor Vanessa

Tyson last night. She is one of two women now who have come out and on the record, with corroborated details and with agreement from all parties involved that there was a sexual encounter. She has come out and accused the Lieutenant Governor, Justin Fairfax of Virginia of sexual assault, of a forcible rape. And do you hear her talking

about this? And I'm sure a lot of thoughts come to mind, but one that comes to mind for me is where is the press that made the Me Too movement the single biggest story in the country, you know, about a year or so ago. Where is the press that was trying to use every tool of propaganda and character assassination at their disposal to bring down Brett Cavanaugh on allegations that were nowhere near the credibility level of what has been leveled against Fairfax. See, this is why

we don't trust the press. This is why you have to understand who is presenting you with news, their what their background and biases are, and don't believe them when they say, oh, the press, we're just the guardians of democracy. And Trump is so me when he calls us fake news. A lot of them are engaging in fake news. A lot of them are propagandists. They are activists for the left. They are not journalists. It's a lie. CNN is not a journalistic enterprise. It is a wing of the Democratic Party.

To say otherwise is a lie. It is the propaganda arm of the left, as is MSNBC to say otherwise is a lie. New York Times, Washington Post, same thing. That doesn't mean they don't present facts that are true. It doesn't mean they don't do actual reporting. It just means the mission is not to inform the public. The mission is to influence the public. They don't want you to have the information to come to your own conclusions.

They provide you with information specifically picked and curated and presented in such a way that you will come to certain conclusions. And one of the ways you know, oh this is you see how they cover issues that aren't favorable to their ideology. Fairfax is credibly accused twice over of in recent memory. You know, sexual assaults against women who do have nothing to gain because they won't be

They're not gonna. I'll tell you this right now. You will not see doctor Vanessa Tyson on the cover of Time magazine. Ever. Ever, why did you see Christine blasi Ford on the cover of Time magazine? Who? By the way, what happened to doctor Vanessa Tyson is a felony and far worse than what was even alleged to have happened with Christine blasi Ford and Brett Kavanaugh, which was essentially she claimed to have been have been groped and then and ran away, groped by a drunk guy, and then

she ran away. She all she imputed into this make believing counter that at least didn't happen with Brett Kavanaugh, might have happened with another guy. I've always I've always held that that was possible, that maybe she had in her mind or for the purposes of telling the story, she had replaced whoever did this to her with Brett Kavanaugh. And if that happened to her, that's that's a very bad thing. It's it's very unsettling, it's scary. But it

wasn't Brett Kavanaugh. But even if an incident had happened to her, what happened with what Fairfax is accused to have done. He's accused to have also sexually assaulted another woman in college and said to her that nobody will believe you because you were sexually assaulted by somebody else in college and he knew about it. This stuff is true. He's a bad guy. I mean, he's a predator, and a predator as an adult, not a teenager who allegedly got too drunk and was grabbing somebody one night. This

isn't a whole other stratosphere of seriousness. Where are the meat to Where are the meat? Two protesters? Where are the marchers where? You know? This is why you can't take the left seriously. They don't have principles. They pursue power. It's not the same thing. Why do anti war protesters disappear when there's a Democrat waging war, say Obama and Afghanistan, But when there's a Republican waging war, it's, oh my gosh.

We should all have to see photos of people in caskets into you know, everything possible to emotionalize the issue, and it's terrible and a warmonger because they seize on specific policies as a means of attacking the political opposition and me too. And I was worried about this in the beginning. I wouldn't even say I was worried. I knew from the beginning it would be weaponized for political purposes, and it was, and it was all building toward that

one shot. They had to stop Brett Kavanaugh from being on the Supreme Court for the next thirty or forty years, and they overreached. They overreached. I still believe with Kavanaugh's incredible defense if he had not had Accuser number two who had to ask other people, I don't know if this thing happened. I think maybe it happened. Do you remember it happening? And everybody said, no, we don't remember

it happening. That's that's quite an allegation to level. And then accuser number three, who was the might as well have said that Brett Cavanaugh and you know seven Green Space aliens abducted her and abused her, along with you know,

the Queen of England and Abraham Lincoln. I mean accuser number three, sweat Nick was just just a lunatic that was exploited by the slimiest lawyer in America, with the possible exception of Michael Cohen Abanati, who, let's not forget Democrats were talking about how he should run for president at one point. That was a thing that was being talked about by all of the analysts at sea in any other places that Abanati do. Do you remember that

presidential material? Oh yeah, Politico had him on the cover. That's right, total total scum, disgusting. But just remember this Vanessa Tyson. There's nothing about her story that doesn't add up. There is nothing about the other accuser that has been flagged as as you know, the other accusers aren't saying I don't know where it happened. I don't know when it happened. I don't know how it happened. I just know it's this guy that the whole country on the

left wants to destroy. That was Blasi Ford. This time around, it's well, you know, let's just not talk about it. And that's but that's how real bias works. They can't present you necessarily with completely fake stuff. So what they do because that would be self defeating. It's not because they're above it, although sometimes they do fake stuff. A

BuzzFeed story. I mean sometimes they'll run with it. So what they do is they make very clear choices about how much focused to give something, whether to talk about an issue or not, whether to put it on TV or not, And that is how they try to shape the conversation toward the the laft and towards you know, the progressive status ideology that the media is overwhelmingly supportive of. But you will not. Oh, by the way, why won't they Why won't there be any resignations? Oh, they told

us why there won't be any resignations? Play clip one. You know, Attorney General Herring, who you just brought up, also admitted to having Warren blackface at one point. If he resigns, the next in line is a Republican senex will look at this and say, the calculus to not be as harsh on the Attorney General is influenced by that. Yeah, but I don't think that's actually true. There are senex to say this is about the next election, but I think it's more about values. We would know from it.

That was cute, though. No, he shouldn't resign because Democrats want power, and that is the only reason that they're not calling for his resignation because he's a Democrat. We'll be right back. Is Trump a racist because he put the word trail in all caps? Ex guests, friend of mine, very witty, very talented fellow, mister Michael Malice tackles this issue. In fact, he got right in the middle of this issue.

He was in the center of the barroom brawl over trail and Warren and Trump and oh my, he joins us now. He is the host of Nightshade and you're welcome. Also author of Dear Reader, the unauthorized biography of Kim jung Ill. Thank you so much, my friend. Good to have you back. Oh, it's great to be here. Buck.

All right, so tell folks what happened. Well. President Trump, as I'm sure most people heard, had a pretty funny tweet directed Elizabeth Warren making fun of her, and he ended the tweet by saying, I look forward to seeing you on the trail. Trail was all in caps, and many people took this, and I think unambiguously as a reference to the Trail of Tears, which is when many Native Americans were forced to walk a long distance with many people who died along the way, and this was

poking fun at her lies about her Native American heritage. Now, as soon as he tweeted that this is this is what's kind of funny A long time. I don't know about your Twitter strategy. I would quote someone as a reply. I thought to myself last seek, what will happen if I just reply to someone immediately and it's a big account. Well what ended up happening is Donald Trump Junior screencapped that whole exchange me and Trump put it on his Instagram and just wrote I love my president savage with

three exclamations. Wait, but what what what? What did you write though? Oh, I'm sorry, I wrote the Native American genocide continues with another murder from our president. He screencapped that he wrote savage. Now, people took that savage to be racist as well. That's a very common internet terms I'm sure you've used as well, just like saying awesome. You know, awesome has a religious meeting, if you want to be literal about it. When people say awesome, they're

not saying divine or something all inspiring. They just mean cool, all heck brook loose, you know, people, Because as soon as Trump does something that's outside the bounds of what has been defined as decent that gives so many people an excuse and a reason to lose their minds. And the response was exactly the response to what one would think would be a far more serious issue, which was the supposed separation of children from their parents at the

border not that long ago. And some folks out there CNN, a particularly sanctimonious CNN host, said that the joke was racist, right, blatant racism. Jake Jake Tapper took a took a junior screencap with my name and my picture and my little blue verified checkmark which I like so much, and wrote, look what happened here? Trump's has a racist tweet, Someone tweets and degrees, and then Junior adds more racism. And the point is, I don't expect Jake Tapper to know

who I am. I don't expect anyway with me who I am. But if you're a reporter and you're quoting someone and you're saying that they're being blatantly racist, maybe a little background and explanation to the audience is called for, because that's your job. Because for all intents and purposes, I could be a Native American, or I could have been quoting somebody else or infinite things. So it's amazing.

And the thing is, if I were just an average citizen and he's like, Okay, this person doesn't matter, which is fair, then he should have blurred out my name in the face, right because otherwise he's saying this random person is a blatant racist, that's calling for dog pile. Well, as you know, CNN actually likes to docks or threatened to docks, just folks that get on the wrong side of them eye if they're not public figures, so that that's kind of the way they do business over there.

I mean, it's it's a trash bag organization now. Unfortunately, but I thought, you know, you made a really you wrote a piece in The Federalist on federalist dot com that called my attention. I thought you made a really important point, which is that quote previously the rules. The rules are, if it's your team, provide context and nuance and assume best intentions. If it's their team, take everything at face value in such a way as to make

them seem to be the acme of awfulness. The fact that I was tweeting alongside Trump must mean that I'm on their team. Yeah, which is interesting because in fact I find your analysis and your wit to be interesting. But you are an anarchist. You're not actually conservatives. My upcoming book trash as conservatives every chance I get, because I think, and I'll give you a reason why that you agree with you and Molly hemingware to the best

conservatisms issue. I think too many conservatives are completely blind to just how malevolent the press is. Conservatives, by their nature, and this is an essential element of conservatism, tend to believe that that what we have can be fixed. If it's been around for a long time, there must be something to it. It It can be fixed for a reason. And it's getting to the point where many conservatives view Molly some others. I think the Kavanaugh stuff you started

to put you guys to the top. I realized these aren't mistakes that the press is making. This is far deeper than they like the Democrats. If you're talking to someone who just likes Democrats, who cares they have their point Bee that's valid. This is far more malevolent and pernicious than that. And I don't think that they are redeemable. This system well, I absolutely agree it and your analysis

as a stute, because I did see what happened to Kavanaugh. That, in terms of what the media did to Kavanaugh and what they were attempting to do to Kavanaugh, was in my view, not just a declaration of war on our whole system of presumption of innocence and due process, but a declaration of war on decency itself. And the press was giddy over it, and I thought it was the most It was really the most disgusting thing I've seen

in a very very long time. I mean, I could say probably even my whole life in some ways, in terms of terms of press actions, I think the press are worse on capital anything I've ever seen. But I just think you know your point about go ahead. If they if they believed what they were saying, why have they stopped saying it? If all these things are true, we have this horrible person in the Supreme Court, why

would you stop talking about it. They haven't stopped talking about Trump and his supposed mystique from four years ago. They dropped it like a hot potato because clearly it was a mean sinand for them, and once they lost, they were moving on something else. It was never sincere. By the way, since you got since you waited on the Elizabeth Warren thing, where do you think this goes

for her? I get the sense of Elizabeth Warren just can't stop digging, and people are going to make Native American jokes and puns and everything for the entirety of her effort to run for the presidency. And they're right too. And I'll give you some more points that as I said this in the article, if Trump had literally killed her, that wouldn't be part of the Native American genocide. If he had literally killed her and she was actually Native American,

it wouldn't be the Native American genocide. If I, as a Jewish person, were shot today at Auschwitz, that wouldn't be make me a Holocaust survivor right, So to tie in someone who has no Native American blood, who And here's the other thing they will tell you you read articles. She never leveraged this to further her career. She never ever, ever, ever leveraged this. Right, They say this her current job,

her current job as senator. In twenty twelve, on the campaign trail, she was talking about she would be the first person with Native American heritage in the Senate from Massachusetts. She was positioning herself as an affirmative action higher, a diversity higher, and even to this day the job she has now she was exploiting this. So it's not about Okay, maybe it was an innocent mistake. Let's pretend that that's the case. The point is she did exploit that, at

best innocent mistake to further her career. Michael Malice, everybody check out his show, which you can see on How Do people Go Find It? Michael? Where do they go to find You're Welcome?

Anti Semitism has no place in the United States Congress and Congressman Omar is terrible what she said, and I think she should either resign from Congress or she should certainly resign from the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Representative Ilhan Omar not yet out of hot water here for her comments about how APAC has a particularly strong hand in our foreign policy because it's all about the Benjamin's she has. She

has apologized, but only sort of apologized. People on the left are saying, well, hold on, there's a legitimate foreign policy discussion we had here. A lot of other people are saying, oh, this is actually just anti semitism and it's getting a real foothold in the left. I want to talk about this and also Iran and North Korea some other hot topics with our next guest, Fred Flights. Fred was a CI analyst like yours, truly, he was there for nineteen years. He was NSC chief of staff.

Recently in the Trump administration. Now he was the president and CEO of the Center for Security Policy. Fred. Great to have you on, sir. Good to be here, sir. So let's just start with Omar first, and do you think that she should resign? And do you think that she's an outlier or is she indicative of a trend toward anti Israel and really more pointedly anti Jewish thinking along the foreign policy left. I think it is anti Jewish and anti Israel thinking on the fig policy left

shouldn't be on the foreign Affairs Committee. This isn't just anti Semitism, this is a real hatred of Israel. This is a new effort to delegitimize Israel, to call for its destruction, to flood it with Palestinians. This is like the latest fake attack by the Palestines and the left to ruin American support for Israel and to de legitimizes on the national stage. That's why this is so dangerous.

And sometimes I do interviews on left wing television shows and you know, I have a name sounds like it's yours. You would believe the anti Semitic attacks against me whatever I defend Israel. There's something going on in the left and it's very dangerous and that's ugly. So she should definitely be taking off the House Point Affairs Committee. You would agree with that. I mean, what was Nancy Pelosi thinking,

you know what? I think she thought she was going to stick at the President Trump because of his you know, basically Trump has said things about Muslims that that Democrats find offensive. So Pelosi put this woman on there. But frankly, she was playing with fire because this woman is just not ready for prime time and has said repeated things that are just really ugly in pretty clearly anti semitic.

Now let's move on to North Korea. We have this upcoming summit, a second summit between President Trump and North Korean leadership Kim Jong Un. People on both sides obviously view this very differently. For the most part, the sum are saying that this is all this is a lot of a lot of nothing. Others are saying, well, we've had real progress. Just I know that you think that the President's made real progress. You were at the NSC when he was engaged in some of these North Korea talks.

Just tell us how, I mean, how should we assess this? How should we see this? Because clearly you know we're not in a great spot with North Korea. But are we in a better spot? Well, we've at least paused the North Korean nuclear missile progress. There haven't been any test since late twenty seventeen. That's significant. There were eighty missile tests during the administration. There were four nuclear tests twenty missile tests during the first year of the Trump administration.

This is significant, but look, it could be just a blip in history unless there's more. The North Koreans have been dragging in their feat. The purpose in the negotiations, the purpose of the summit is to get the North Koreans to get Leader Kim to agree to basically concrete deliverables on how are they going to start implementing what Kim agreed to with the last summit in Singapore. So how do we do that? I mean, what's what's then the way forward? Well, just a meeting between the two

leaders as a concession, it legitimizes the regime. And we're just hoping that this rapport that the President has with Kim, and we know he's been bututtering him up lately in with various tweets that the President can use as negotiation skills to get Kim to agree to at least some preliminary preliminary investigation letting inspectors into a military missile site and a nuclear test site. Hopefully that will expand into

greater inspections. We also need to get a full and thorough accounting of the Milk Queen w d A missile programs. That's going to take more work, but they have to start working on that too. Now, tell me about where we should where we should be viewing how we should view the Iran deal which I know a lot of people that were part of the Obama administration get very upset about this because they think that it's tearing apart Obama's foreign policy legacy. Obviously, you and I don't think

there's much of a legacy to tear apart. But you know that you hear things like they're Iran's violating the deal. No, they're not violing the deal, or you know the deal is too soft, and that's the problems. What has President Trump done in the Iran deal? And or about the Iran deal? I know we're out of it, but what does that mean and what comes next? Well? I wrote a peace in National View recently that's said that eight months later, the presidents with twelve from the Iran Deal

has been a tremendous policy success. We now know that the deal was a thought and run was continuing weapons related activities. Albadu was an effect by rich and uranium, and Iran cheated. We know the Iranians cheated based on documents that the Israeli sold from the Runnings early last year that showed a secret nuclear site that Iran refused to declare, a warehouse ful of nuclear equipment and phizzile material that Iran started to empty out once the once

they found out that these really stole their documents. It was a fraud through and through. It was basically a legacy agreement, so the abodministration could say they had an agreement with Iran. The trumph And administration throw this out.

Iran is increasingly isolated. We need to do now is to focus on denying Iran transfers of nuclear missile technology and get all of our allies, especially regional allies who were excluded from the Iran du Let's get them lined up on the United policy to deal with all of the threats posed by Iran. Now, on the Mid East side of all this, I guess Mid East and South Asia, where do you come down on the discussions recently about one US troop presence in Syria and then also a

draw down, a plan draw down. I believe now in Afghanistan a possible peace dealing with the Taliban. Let's start with Syria first. How's that going well? The announcement of the President made in December was adjusted to pull our troops out slower. He listened to his advice as he listened to leaders in the region who said that you can't pull our troops out that quickly. But I think on issues like Syria and Afghanistan, the President is conflicted.

There are security interests, but he also does not believe that US troops should be deployed to these areas indefinitely. There's a lot of Americans who agree with that book. They think that we've been in Afghanistan too long. The New York Times recently ran a major editorial agreeing with Trump. Who would have thought that it is time for US

to get out of Afghanistan. There is some indication there are some indications that there's been progress and talks with the Talibman that would allow us to start drawing down. I'm not going to hold my breath on that, but I think there's some truth to that. So basically, it's it's a trade off. The President wants to withdraw. He doesn't think we should be in these areas indefinitely, Bud. He knows his security concerns, So it's a struggle I think within his own mind and with his advisors, who

have a variety of different perspectives. Now you and I both come from the intelligence community, Fred, and there's obviously been some very high level folks. I mean, I've I've interviewed I've interviewed Clapper since he's been out, I've interviewed Hayden, and I gotta tell you, Hayden in particular, I find his conduct and his commentary about about the President, about the administration to be beyond disappointing. One. I just wonder

what do you think the long term? What do you think is there any long term damage from former Intel chiefs coming out and just being partisan actors like they're all auditioning for an MSNBC show all the time. And then also do you think that there's still a lot of that going on at the top levels inside the community and that's and that it's hurting the presidents still? Well, if you think Hayden is disappointing, what do you think

of John Brennan? Oh, I mean, he's I don't even I mean, John Brennan probably should should be brought up on charge. He's in a whole other category of awful. But you're right, But you know, I'm friends with Mike Hayden. I think he has gotten no ret line. Sometimes so friendly Brennan is so bad. I don't even notice some of the things that Hayden is saying. But you know,

you're right. Intelligence officials FORMACI directors used to be senior statesman and ambassadors for the profession, and they stayed out of politics. They were like you know, the gray beards who would advise academia and presidents. A CURRENCYI director would invite in all his predecessors and consult with them. They'd come in quarterly for meetings. Of course, John Brennan doesn't come into those meetings anymore because the President took his

clearance away, which I thought was a great move. That we have to get back to the time where FORMERCI directors they stay out of politics, they stay off MSNBC, and you know they try to serve this country and not being political hacks. And what are your Just just one more thing for you here, fred As. We only got about a minute. But as the Russian investigation scene has been coming to a close, is it really going to come to a close? It They're gonna drag on forever.

The Democrats will never coming to it will never come to close to the Democrats. The Democrats in the House. I think they're going to start this all over again, even though I think the President is about to be exonerated by the moloprobe. It's just it's always in politics.

There's no evidence of collusion. I didn't think it was from the beginning, and I just think that this is just going to go off forever and years from now, the presidents out of office is starring into Democrats will still keep claiming this collusion, even though they're never going to find evidence a team. Fred is right because Fred and I agree, So Fred, Fred is right on these things because we see this the same way. Fred flights everybody presidents CEO of Center for Security Policy, also a

former CI analysts like myself, my brother from Langley. Fred, thank you so much, good to be your Thanks. All right, team, Well, I want to talk a little. We didn't get to China. There, China. Do we have a come on, you gotta come on, you gotta have that one ready, China. There we go, China, China. Okay, let's not hey, let's not overdo it. Let's not overdo it. That's coming up next, team. There's not much that I need to get my day started right, pants, T shirt, shoes,

good start. But you know what's right up there with it? Black rifle coffee because it tastes delicious, so it gives me something to look forward to.

The economy is doing incredibly well. Numbers are really high, really good. We have a big team of people, very talented people over in China right now negotiating on the China deal. It's going along very well. We'll see what happens, but I think it's going along very well. They're showing us tremendous respect and something which a lot of countries didn't use to show the United States to showing us respect now, big difference from the old days. I will

tell you that. So the deal with China is going very well. The deal with China presence says going well. But we might be in for a bit of a delay here. There might be a pushback the March second deadline that has been reported on a lot to reach a trade deal with China might might get the old Kavo. I might decide to push that aside for a little while. The US is not supposed to put higher tariffs on Chinese goods if the talks with Beijing are going well,

so we will have to see. It could increase tariffs on two hundred billion dollars with Chinese goods to twenty five percent from ten percent. And one thing that's really been really interesting to see this all play out. I just remember, because it wasn't long ago, I remember hearing about how what Trump was doing was dangerous, what Trump was doing was going to destroy the economy. All this stuff, and here we are. Last year, the economy was good,

it wasn't. The stock market had a rough end of year, for sure, but unemployments still very, very low. And the only argument that I can hear people make right now about What's happened as a result of Trump's overtures to China has to do with it would have been even better, but it hasn't been bad. And I would note that the critics of Trump on trade and it has been really bipartisan criticism. And I've tried to bring on experts here and reflect expert opinion on trade that you're not

getting from the mainstream media. You're not getting from people that like to just pair at the consensus that there has been real headway made here on doing things on trade that needed to be done, but that everybody seemed to think we're crazy when Trump started to do them. You know, now you have this, the US Mexico Canada

Trade Agreement, and people said, oh, you can't. NAFTA has been the cornerstone of blah blah people get all excited and all angry because it turns out NAFTA was signed before the Internet era, so there was a lot of a lot of stuff that needed to be updated and changed, and there hasn't been some huge disruption in our trade with Mexico or Canada and now on China. China had a rough year last year, and it's always interesting to see how people assess the Chinese market because it's a

bit opaque. There's a certain degree of not trusting the numbers from the Chinese national government that a lot of China watchers I know bring to bring to the situation. But you know, their economy was getting hammered last year and our economy was doing well. It's because Trump is the first president in memory for me who comes along and says, we're in a stronger position than China, and China's pulling some nonsense. So we're going to get them

to stop doing the stuff that they've been doing. Intellectual property theft, the predatory trade practices visa vi us companies that try to base out of China for a while, these cooperative corporate agreements that turn into just a siphoning of US intellectual property into Chinese companies, all that stuff. Trump is like, can't do this anymore. Got to figure something out to stop it. And I'm not saying that he is there yet. I'm not saying that it has

been perfect. But to be sure, President Trump has I think, defied the critics so far, and on balance looks like he knows some stuff that they certainly did not know. He's aware of things that they were not aware of, or at least he was able to see the situation more clearly than they were because people were saying, oh, so many of the more learned conservatives that I know in the media, oh, free trade, and you say, well, hold on a second, free trade is a great idea.

But this is like saying the answer to everything in healthcare is just to say we need a free market in healthcare. Okay, that's nice. Fifty percent of the healthcare market has already government spending. So to say that the answer is just a free market is to say, okay, we're so far from a free market right now, and in terms of our deal with and to pretend that we're in a free market. If we change anything, we're losing the free market. That is the root fallacy. Right.

It's one thing if I say, hey, we need to make this change on healthcare and then people say, no, no, buck, we can't because we need a free market based healthcare system. I'd say, well, well, half the healthcare system is not free market, and there's a tremendous amount of regulation. There are reasons why drug prices are so high and government interventions.

So we don't have a free market in healthcare. We can try to make it more free and I understand that as a principle, but it's not an answer to everything. Well just make it free market, okay, Well, how and under what auspice is and how do we implement that idea? Same thing with free trade. People said, oh, buck, no, we need free trade with China. Okay, we don't have free trade with China. China has tariffs, and China is stealing intellectual property during all kinds of stuff. It's really bad.

So that's a part of this that I think Trump has brought to the forefront, and he doesn't get a lot of credit for it. I hope we do get some kind of an agreement with China. I think that could really be a boost the economy. Keep in mind, also despite it, Mike, did you see that story yesterday about how people are getting less in their tax refunds And initially Democrats to borrow their word, they pounced on this, yes, because they've kept more of their money, right, it was

comical they kept more money. But this is the year that they will be keeping more money and people will have more money to spend as a result of the change in the withholding, And so I think we could see some good stuff happening, some good stuff happening on that front. I saw this story today. People always ask me what there is to say about somebody who would betray their country and spy for another country. And this is a former US intel specialists has been charged with

spying for Iran. I haven't gotten too deep into the details of it, but look, this is the insider threat. People are exploited by our enemies and they betray the greatest country ever known to man. Assuming this is true, these are just allegations at this point. Whether this this woman who I think she was worked for the Air Force as an intelligence analyst, right, yeah, and she's now at large. They don't even I think they're probably hiding somewhere.

Is she supposed to be in Iranda? We know, I don't know where she is, but they're trying to track her down. Monica Wit, Monica Wit, and they say that she gave away some very sensitive stuff. All I can just say is, you know, every society has traders, folks. It's going to happen, unfortunately, and hopefully we can limit the damage they do on ours. Why anybody would try

to help the Iranians any American? Remember this is an American who has essentially defected and double crossed us to help iran You know, betraying America is always a terrible thing, but traying America for the Iranians is just even even just goes beyond usual treasonto wow treason, and this is nuts. But I don't have much on other than that, just because I don't know what the programs are, the information is, so I can't speak to any of that. But we'll

be right back. Beaten with a noose around his neck and hospitalized. Empire star Jesse Smollett was the victim of a vicious racist and homophobic attack, and his attackers hurled racial and homophobic slurs. Two people yelled racists and homophobic slurs. At only homophobia, We're talking about racism, We're talking about hate with steroids. They are looking for two suspects who

are apparently wearing Make America Great Again hats. The offenders uttered this is mega country, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tweeting the racist, homophobic attack on Jesse Smollette is an affront where humanity. And Senator Qurey Booker said the vicious attack when actor Jesse was an attempted modern day lynching. Kamala Harris calling the attack and attempted modern day lynching, and I'm so shaken by the story. This is horrible to report. This is a horrible story, and this is

America in twenty nineteen. Man, those media folks are really you know, they really believe this. Apparently they believe it. Mike, I want to know. I want to know just why somebody can't come out and tell me, just tell me how it's possible that a guy who says he had a racist hate crime happened to him won't turn over his phone. And I had people reach out to me, by the way, from the media because some of them heard the show. They said, Buck, what if he has

below the belt picks on there? Like they came up with these really creative theories for why he wouldn't just just to prove people say, why does it matter when you tell the police things? They just check off the facts because they want that. That's what they do. They're doing their investigation, their due diligence on the story, right.

So okay, he wouldn't give them the phone initially. Now he gave them incomplete phone records, redacted phone records, which means that clearly he's hiding something from his phone records, which is utterly bizarre. Mike, I just want to know, is there any reasonable explanation for this that you've heard whatsoever? Because I have not, and yet the media still believe this guy none whatsoever. I mean, this is completely shady activity. I mean the idea also that these two like rednecks

and maga hats walking around Chicago. By the way, I feel like other people would have noticed these guys too. Do you say this, I mean in Chicago when they went around and ask, Hey, anyone see anything? This is Maga Country, not Chicago. I know a lot first of all, not Chicago, unless there's another Chicago down south that I'm not aware of. I know a lot of Trump supporters, Okay, I have never heard a single person say this is Maga Country. No, that is so I'm just gonna say it.

That is something that a person would make up about Trump supporters. That is not something a Trump supporter would say. You know, people that are really into Trump are not gonna say this is maga country. And like you always say, like it's something like this when something happens to you, like this, it's this, you know, supposedly the terrific. You're like really adamant about it. You know, you really come

out strong, like who knows. But the fact that he is not coming out like now that people are doubting him, like there's you know, it's been in the media last week, people are dying him. He's going radio silent. Like if this happened to me and people start doubting me, I'd be all up in their face like, oh yeah, no, this this happened, this is the way it went down, this is where it was, like you just you don't you present the facts and you get I would be

upset of somebody down in my story. I just think it's so interesting to the media that the interest in this with every passing day, now that now that people are people are asking should the police subpoena his phone records, which is very easy to do. I mean for phone records. I've done phone records subpoenas myself. All it has to do is essentially be tied to an investigation. I mean, to pull phone records is not a high bar at all. And now there are people say no, no no, no, they

shouldn't do that. Why shouldn't they subpoenas phone records? He said he was all on the phone with his manager when he got attacked. I think there are people who realize this is this is going to turn into. There are only two options here that I see. He got into a scuffle with somebody that had nothing to do with Trump or Mago or any of this stuff, and and kind of cooked up this story because he saw

an opportunity. That's one. But I think the much more likely thing is he just this is a national attention grip. I don't see what I mean. The third option is that this bizarre story happened to this guy and that he wants to make the police's job really hard. I don't get that. I actually get with option A. I think, yeah, I think the first thing he said, I think he got in. I think something happened, and I think he jaguard the whole thing and that that allows him to

It's like he's a method actor. He's an actor right now. It's like he's in the he got in the mindset of what it could be like to be in a racial attack when maybe some guy, you know, maybe if I had to take a guess, I would say that something happened and he was in the wrong and he probably wound up losing in a fight or something and then got into a scuffle somebody and then made it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think. I think because also, by the way, the

I mean two guys attack you have the ability. I know, not that I ever try this out. Do you guys attack me on the street and they managed to get a noose around my neck, I would be in really bad physical shape. I wouldn't have like a tiny shiner on my under my left eye, like i'd have like a broken nose or joban, you know, because you're gonna they could kill you with a noose, right, I mean, a noose is not something just like oh wait, hold on, I'm I'm attacking you. I want to put this rope

around your neck that I could strangle you with. Right, But I think people leave this out. And he left the noose around his neck. Not credible, Not credible. No, no, no, see we speak the truth of your team without fear or favor. Oh yeah, grab back. Ain't no party like a Team Buck party, because a Team Buck party don't stop. Yeah, we got Buck turned up to eleven. It's time for roll Call, an NYC version of roll Call. That's right up in New York City, the Big Apple for Valentine's Day.

I didn't realize the mustache part of it. You can't mess up on like that, like on the neckline and stuff. You can make a little bit of a little bit of a booboo and it's all right. But if you miss the mustache up, like if you, you know, clipper, just the center part of your mustache off,

you're done. You're done. You can't be the guy that's miss in the middle of your mustache, right, No, you got to do a duover. Yeah, you got it, so I'm at duover. I'm a duover face. But that did do. The beard is gonna get I'm gonna be like Tom Hanks castaway Wilson. Wilson Wilson. You know he's a great actor, because did you get a little sad when Wilson's floating away?

By the way, I'm a fan of yours as well. She wanted me to tell you to start listening to a country group called Old dominion. It's her favorite one as a recent convert to country music herself. Thanks for all you do, lonely conservatives here in California. Well, Chris Man, great to meet you,

or at least be in touch with you. And that was awesome to meet your mom out in Rancho Santa Fe, which I will tell you Rancho Santa Fe is it's a nice place. Highly highly recommend if you can get a little time out there. I was like, ooh, I could, I could get used to this. You're you're within sight of the ocean, You're you have the weather of San Diego,

and it's it's very nice. You know, you only need like six or seven million dollars gets you a pretty nice house in Rancho Santa Fe from what I understand though, So you know, I'm about six or seven million short, but I'm working on it, Lou writes, Good evening, Buck.

Bobby Newport thinks that this is a job you can just get by marrying a billionaire. Some of you who are Parks and Rex super fans will catch this.

I know you're catching this right now, Bobby Newport. If you don't watch Parks and Rec, you think that I'm having some kind of a breakdown in here. But that's okay. You were in and everyone says this. I don't look that much like Adam Scott. This is a lie. This is a lie that people tell themselves. Adam Scott is like five to three and one hundred and ten pounds. I'm working on one hundred and ten pounds part, but you know he's halfway there. But yeah, man, good good things,

good things, Bobby Newport. Keith writes, hasn't anyone, oh my oh, hasn't anyone noticed the physical, as well as clownish behavior of Adam Schiff visa the Andy Kaufman. I think Shift could do a decent rendition of the theme song from Mighty Mouse. Here I come to save the day. You know, sometimes our listeners are so creative that i'm I must say, I don't know what they're talking about. So that one went Did any of you catch that one went beyond my be on my knowledge? Another Chris got a lot

of Chris is running in today buck. As I was sitting in my favorite chair pondering excessive methane emissions, as I'm known to do, I finally came up with the planet saving idea. Pilot lights on all farm animals north and south, kind of like you see on oil dereks and trash dumps. I can already taste the Nobel Prize ps avoid the animals coming and going creative, I guess. I okay, So there's that Richard rides bug. What up? You notice all the barriers keeping one hundred people at

the Beato rally from the stage. Yeah, it's like it's really hard because it's like I just wanted to just like like shake everybody's hand at the Beato rally because I'm Bett o' rourke. But like there was a fence that was in the way and I couldn't even skateboard around it, and I really wanted to ruster, Mike, will you please come to my rally and be my friend?

Thank you? That thing was so awkward, so awkward. They were like they're like like like fifty people that were there, but they just love Betos so much that it like is amazing. You know, they had a Trump. They had like a monitor in the background with the Trump that you could see on it. That did not really go well. Yeah, Richard's making fun of the Beato rally too, which you know, this guy, people think that he has some kind of No,

it's all immediate creation. He hasn't actually shown us any ability to do anything yet, but people like this stuff. Conrad Right's California's bullet train. I think Conrad's a cool name. By the way, California's bullet train was being built by Diane Feinstein's hubby. I don't know, producer, Mike, do we know? But I don't know about that. Is that right? It sounds right? No, the bullet train is being built by

the taxpayer dollars of America. That's well, that's there. We go fact check true but I think what he might be referring to is that I think Feinstein's hubby owns a bunch of land that he just happened to purchase that happens to be right near some of the important termini or the terminus of the railroad station. That's quite a quite a good real estate move to make, if you know what's going on. So, but yes, you're right,

it is the tax bad. They were not. There was no private way to spend what was a seventy seven billion dollars, yeah, right around there. Eighty billion, Yes, it was a billion, not million billion, Yeah it was. It was a train wreck. It was indeed a train wreck. It's a mobile dumpster fire in a train. Uh, Jordan. Right, it's just listening tonight. And since you're trying to get customer country music, you should listen to the oldies, nineties and earlier, the twangs where it's at. If you listen

to middle and fourteen Gears, it has that twang. That's real country music. Yes, I grew up on country music and I'm from Grand Junction, Colorado. Well Shields. How to you, Jordan? Thank you? I am. I am keeping a running list here from my Spotify. I've got a country music Spotify playlist now, and you know that's that's it's getting bigger and bigger. I'm listening to more. But I've got a punk rock Spotify playlist now. Because I realized Nick Gillespie

from Reason was on Twitter. You don't one of the libertarians. Libertarians have some interesting stuff to say. He was on Twitter and he was talking about punk rock, and I said, you know, man, I just gotta be honest with you, I really don't know punk rock. Like I know who the Ramons are. I don't know. I didn't grow up in a cave somewhere, but I didn't really understand. I hadn't really been exposed too much of the music. And

I've got the playlist. Punk rock is great, really good stuff. Actually, you know, the New York Dolls and the Ramones and the sex Pistols and the very very good song and who does the Who does the Passenger? That is that iggy pop the song the Passenger? You guys, and I'm talking about you're you're the culture music aficionadist. I'm the
