You are entering the freedom hunt with a brilliantense spirited defense. Kavanaugh fought back so that now he's still in supreme tension with an assist from Senator Lindsey Graham. But the GOP has dealt itself a bit of an unwarranted blow, my friends, a week long delay for an FBI investigation into the Kavanaugh situation. We will dive into this together coming up. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is to decode what really matters with
actionable intelligence, no mistake American. Let grant you're a great American again. The Buck Sexton Show begins an not saying that. Let me say again, I'm not making I can't make that commitment for the leadership. I can only say that I would be only comfortable moving forward on the floor. I'll move it out of committee, but I will only be comfortable moving on the floor until the FBI has done more investigation than they have already. UM, it may
not take them a week. I understand that some of these witnesses may not want to discuss anything further, but I think we're we owe them due diligence. I'm gonna rely on uh All of the people, including Senator grass Lee, who's doing a very good job. That'll be a decision that they're going to make, and they suspect they'll be making some decision soon, whether to take a vote or to do whatever else they want to do. I will be totally reliant on what Senator Grassley and the group
decides to do. Welcome to the Buck Saxton Show. We got flaked. We got flaked. I knew it would happen, um, because I've been saying it for weeks and he said this morning, you know he was gonna vote for Kavanaugh. And I knew it was too good to be true, too too much courage. And the guy is a sniveling little coward. You can't get him out of the Senate
fast enough. So after all that, folks, after all the hearings, dozens of hours of hearings and questions and interviews and background checks and all this stuff, all the flood the zone media coverage, now Republicans have to go through another week of this nonsense. Now here's the here's the basic premise that the problem is that you've got you know, Murkowski and Collins and and Flake and you know who
are there's something. There's one or two others that are saying that they want you know that they wouldn't have voted for him. So they said, basically, they didn't have the votes unless this FBI investigation happens, which is no one's even clear really what this investigation is. You know what, you know what I do. If I'm Mark Judge two, try and get through this as quickly as possible. I would probably just read to the FBI the sworn statement
that I've already signed and sent to the Senate. So the FBI shows up and say we want to ask you questions, I'd be like, here is my statement. I will read it to you. That is my cooperation. Now please leave. People either don't understand or more likely with these Senate Democrats and this, this has all been planned. This is all part of the game. Um is that you know, is that they will act like they're being they're they're trying for just something reasonable here. I promise
you they're going to change. I promise you they will not honor their end of this. And this has been the purpose of this all along, as we know, has been delayed, and it's enraging eight. It makes me furious and I would say that the g O. P is uh you know, is to blame and blame in his spinless But it was just a couple of them, just like with the repeal of Obamacare, just a couple of them. This one, I think the stakes are actually much higher. This is about national honor. This is about what kind
of country we live in. Do we want to live in a country where accusation with massive political motivation, timed in such a way to do the most damage possible with no corroboration, and in fact all the facts pointing against the claim is enough to ruin somebody's life and destroy them and derail their career. That is what that is really what is at stake here. There is not a shred of evidence, not one piece of evidence to tie Brett Kavanaugh to the Professor Ford allegations. There's nothing.
And yet we had a few Republicans who because they were cornered and we'll talk about how Flake got cornered an elevator and just you know, skewed and yelled at by women who were who were truly hysteric call I mean they were crying and yelling and screaming at him. Um. But they they caved on this one. The Democrats are radicals. Democrats are really progressive fundamentalists. That's what you see here. They are all in on power. That is what matters
to them. There is really no justification for this delay, and I am telling you right now it is very likely that we will look back on this and say to ourselves, how could they have been so foolish? How could they have been so stupid? The good news is that Brett Kavanaugh, to anybody who who is being reasonable about any of this, has more than defended himself successfully. I mean, to me, Brett Kavanaugh has has cleared his name. I don't believe the allegations against him. I haven't believed
them before I heard all the testimony. I don't believe it. And they've been calling for this delay, delayed to lay. Now it matters quite a bit more, doesn't it That Professor Ford or her lawyers on her behalf lied about her fear of flying, lied about it for one purpose and one purpose only, delay so they could roll out other accusations, turn up the heat here. And now we're told, oh no, we just want the FBI investigation. Let me
tell you this, and I am certain of it. As we go through next week, there will be a campaign of sliming and innuendo and personal destruction that just makes us all sick to our stomachs. Be prepared for it's going to get even worse. How I can't even really come in then, And I'll talk to you later about what I think some of the possible avenues are. They may go, but it's going to get even worse and
uglier and more depraved and evil. That's coming up. That's now with this one week, this one week, and I just gives them more room to do what they've already done. And the other part of this that I am as lutely confident in and like people say that it's not up to the president, but yeah, the President's opening the
FBI investigation. They didn't have the votes. They had a couple of Republicans and a couple of Democrats who are on the fence, and they until this FBI thing happens, they don't feel like they have the cover to go forward and and do this. I would know this would never be a problem for the Democrats, meaning the Democrats. When something went a major point of ideologies at stake, the Democrats go in lock step. They vote like the board, like some kind of machine entity. They do not have
any defections. When something that's important to the left is at stake, they will do anything, all of them. They will lie down in traffic like a bunch of loons. And I'm talking about senators. They'll do whatever they have to do. Our side, as you see, not so much. But I I want you to hear me on this because I'm trying to prepare you and myself for this. I want you to hear me on this. I think it's essential that we're all ready for it. I have
zero doubts. I mean, I can't see the future, and who knows, but I have zero doubt that by Wednesday of next week, maybe even as soon as Tuesday, you will hear a a concerted across the board rallying cry from the left of how dare they think they can complete a gang rape investigation in five days? How dare they think they're taking these allegations seriously in five days? Now? What we've heard for the the week or so leading up to this is, oh, the Anita Hill England lasted
three days. They're being so unreasonable, they're being so unfair. Why not just take the time to do the investigation. This was the talking point. This was the main talking point about process, other than calling Kavanaugh a rapist, which is idiotic in a disgrace to say. But they were doing that too. It wasn't even accused of rape. But I digress. But they will switch from Oh, Anita Hill only took three days. Why are they being so unfair to how they they can't do this in a week?
This is an outrage. Just one more week, Just one more week, they'll say, And then we'll go forward, and they'll have women showing up and shrieking in the faces of Mansion and Flake and Murkowski, and they'll have protests and flood their own media coverage and all this stuff because some people in the GOP can't learn their lesson. Because Jeff Flake is a disgusting, sniveling coward, and we all know it, and I've known it all along, and
he is a disgrace. And I do believe that one day, when he's near the end, he will look back on this and for a moment he will realize that this was a street fight, and he left behind people on his own side. He decided, he decided to run and and and look for help while people were bleeding out on the street fighting for what he said was his side. You don't want Jeff Lake to have your back in a bar fight that much, I can tell you. The guy is an absolute coward. But that's what we're heading for.
We're heading for a two pronged assault next week and the whole week. This is what is going to happen because of this stupid week long delay. There's nothing we'll talk about, how there's nothing even to investigate. In a moment, They're going to come at Kavanaugh with all the fury of the most frenzied, pink hat wearing, Antifa loving psychopaths, all of it. The media is going to amplify it and every way they can. They are they have picked sides here, we know it. It couldn't be any more clear.
And they are going to say that the time is not enough. They begged and begged and begged and pleaded and and and cajoled and yelled and threatened and demanded that there was just just a little more, just do the FBI investigation. When the FBI comes back and says this is not enough, this is or rather this is the end there's nothing else for us to do. The left is going to say, there's more to investigate. How dare you think this is over look at Republicans. They
don't take this seriously. What's the rush. You've already reopened the background investigation. What's the rush? That's going to be the talking point? They'll forget that. The talking point had been, Oh, this will be over quickly, why don't you just do it? Just like a few days ago, they were saying, look at all the old white men that will be questioning forward, and then when they brought in a woman to question forward, it was, oh my gosh, these old white men brought
in a woman to question for it. They don't care, my friends. The problem when you're fighting against an enemy that has no principles, decency, or honor is that they have a tremendous amount of options. They'll say any thing. They'll pretend to be honest, they'll pretend to be nice, they'll pretend to play ball, they'll do anything to get what they want. And when power like this is at stake, you see the very worst, the very worst of the
Democrat Party. I can only hope and this is the the most that I can offer in terms of something to feel good about with all this, because this is a I'm telling you, this is a trap. This week. Delay is a disaster. It is a bad idea, and it's unfair. It's unfair to the Kavanaugh family, it's unfair to the judge, it's unfair to our system. The whole thing. This is a disaster. But you know what's going on.
I know what's going on. The word is out. I have not seen conservatives, so I mean conservatives now, and I mean across the board. If you are not on team Kavanaugh, by the way, you are not a conservative at this point. If you're somebody that thinks that this should still be going on like this, you cannot call yourself a conservative. You are a Democrat or a leftist. You are not a conservative. But I have never seen
conservatives so united and fired up. Some of the fractures that we've seen, even with the never trumpers have gone away. They realize there's more at stake here than just intra
party disputes. This is about the character and nature of our country and the very system that it relies on, so that there is justice and there is decency here in America and the roar of the people in this country who still believe in that decency on honor and justice, I hope will be deafening in the mid terms and will drown out the hysterical, shrieking nonsense of the left in the best way possible, which is to strip them of the power that they are tessed with obtaining. We'll
get into more of this in just a moment. Stay with me. She was totally and completely incompetent in terms of asking cross examination question because she has little experience. For example, the main issue now is whether or not she recognized Kavanaugh correctly. She was never asked whether how well she knew him, how many times she encountered him before this, how close was their relationship. There was nothing that could raise questions about whether, even if she believes
she's telling the truth, she may have misidentified. So she just did a terrible job, and I think the Republicans realized that, and they candor right in the middle. But it was a very bad choice. Totally agree with the dirsh It was a bust. I mean that they could have called it. I know, I know, I know female lawyers. I mean I wish I would have put my sister
in there. She wouldn't know a way better job. I know female lawyers that would have done an infinitely better job then what we saw occurring with Mitchell's career proscot. It was like she was taking a victim's statement. Her whole approach was what you should do when you were taking the statement of somebody who's making allegation in the district attorney's office or in a in a police station. But that's not what her role was supposed to be.
Her role was supposed to be. Okay, I'm gonna ask you questions to see are you one telling the truth? And to do you have enough facts to offer if you are telling the truth that we can know that this happened. It was. It was terrible. I was shocked at how bad it was. And and it was by the way, it was one of the reasons why I think the perception was that Ford was doing so well in this whole thing. She was a total cream puff interview. There was nothing she She's never asked the question, no
really explained to us. Why so everybody that you name says that they don't remember this. Why do you you remember this? They don't remember this? What are we what are we to make of that? Oh, you know, I don't really know, and someone was sick or something, She said, Why do you not remember the person who took you home? Someone had to drive you home. Were you normal in the car ride with that person? You wouldn't be. You
think this terrible thing just happening. Why would you leave behind your best friend, who is a fifteen year old girl just like you after you think you've almost been attacked by two predators who planned this out? Obviously based on the way she talked about it. How is it that nobody downstairs heard her when she screamed? She said, because the music was so loud. That must have been
quite a speaker system. She's screaming. No one downstairs. A small house, there's four maybe five people, She's not sure, by the way, who are there. No one hears anything. She runs out after she locks herself in the bathroom. No one notices anything strange. None of the other people they are, including her best friend, who is a girl, realizes that she's gone. Suddenly not credible. This story is not credible. But I just did a better job cross
examining her. In two minutes and fifty seconds, Then that woman did with you know, however many five minute blocks she had. That's why it looks so bad for Cavanaugh. There was no opposition, there was nobody else to to say a hold on a second. There was just a lot of like, you're so brave, You're so brave for coming out here. You know, we gotta watch that. You're so brave. Stuff is to what was to want a
brawley so brave? Was she so brave? I just want to know should she have been said and told that she was brave by you know, every center in the country. Media treated that story very seriously. Somebody lost their life because of By the way, what they did to Cavanaugh is the kind of thing that drives a person to take their own life. By the way, that level of public humiliation and intentional sadism and character assassination that could
leave somebody take his own life. That's how I wanted to curse there messed up what happened to Kavanaugh was and that Mitchell sat there like this, you know, meek uh secretary just writing down all the answers that she was getting was appalling. They said it sent it Gill Pete, they you know, call me man. I thought they had staffs at least knew what's going on. A moronic decision to have that woman yesterday. I'm glad that Durst called
it out. But we gotta talk more about the FBI investigation that's coming up, that's next, claim opportunities to get to the truth. This has never been about the truth. This has been about delay and destruction. And if we reward this, it is the end of good people wanting to be judges. It is the end of any concept of the rule of law. It's the beginning of a
process that will tear this country apart. And if I am chairman next year, if we keep the majority and Senator Draft Lee moves over, and I hope he doesn't, because as I think he's done a great job, I'm gonna remember this. There's the process before Kavanaugh, in the process after Kavanaugh. If you want to bet the nominee, you can. If you want to delay things for the next election, you will not. If you try to destroy somebody,
you will not get away with it. I've never heard a more compelling defense of one's honor and integrity than I did from Brett Kavanaugh. He looked me in the eye, everybody in the eye, and he was mad, and he should have been mad. Brett Kavanaugh and women, if you're a gang rapist when you're a sophomore and a junior in high school, you don't let it go. Every woman who actually knows Brett Kavanaugh has come forward to say
he is not that kind of guy. He has been at the highest level of public service under tremendous scrutiny, six FBI investigations, and we missed the sophomore junior gang rapist. We didn't miss it. It's much garbage. As a prosecutor, you couldn't get out of the batter's box because in America, before you can shoot, accuse somebody but crime, you have to tell them when it happened and where it happened, and you have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt it
did happen. The reason this case will never be brought in Maryland or anywhere else, you just can't get there. Thank you. I know. I'm a single white male from South Carolina, and I've told I should shut up, but I will not shut up if that's okay, because I
got here the same way everybody else did. The people in South Carolina voted for me and Senator Scott to be their voice men and women, and I'm gonna try to be their voice today and uh, maybe not just for South Carolina, but a little bit about what I think is going on here. Team Lindsay, sign me up for Team Lindsay. Man, you know, I don't know. What I want to know is how is it that not every Republican on the Judiciary Committee has that same fire in the belly that he does over this? I think
Grassley in his own way. I mean he's trying to sort of keep it, but Grassly, you know, he throws some gruffness around when he has to, but nobody. Ben Sass, by the way, what a little quizzling punk. Where is he on this? Ben Sass? Mr? Principles, Mr Mr, I'm the real conservative, but maybe I'm gonna leave the Republican Party. Mike, did you see him do anything up there? I mean I can't even remember a single Ben Sas moment where I go, oh, he's actually showing something. He hasn't completely
sold out, forgettable, totally forgettable. It's like, oh, I don't want to be the person that people think. It's like me and the people who are suffering a trauma that's all he's got. It's just it's so funny to see when it counts. Man. This is just it's such an important life lesson to you really know who's who and what's what when things get tough and you look around
and who's there. That's what I say with with Lindsey Graham, and we're really easy to sit back and just be like, well, I think she might be believed, and you know, just not do much instead, Lindsay. Lindsay made the speech from Braveheart before They Take the Field that the Battle of sterling Bridge in the movies in the field in reality was right out right next to a bridge. The whole other thing. Talk with that an other time that did
some history shows. Again, the Lindsay was, he's just been great on this one and and it's uh and I think it's so funny too that I saw some left wing push back and oh they hate Lindsay Graham now they like him, Yeah, because what he did was amazing, right. I mean, I think Senator heron No is a moron, not like I don't. I don't like her. I think that she's actually stupid. But if she cured cancer next week, I would think she's a genius and I would really
appreciate her. I don't think she's going to do that. But with new things comes new judgments. And Lindsey Graham, for me, went from a guy who spent a little too much time talking about which countries we should bomb without really thinking through all the time what was going on, to a guy who saw that a man's honor was being just just in slow motion like they were. It's like they were pulling out his fingernails on TV. It was such a disgrace. And he jumped in there and
he's like, who wants a piece? You know, I'm not you know, he said, he's not going to forget. I don't think any of us should forget. In terms of the Republicans who showed up, who was real. They were so scared of looking like they were. They were being mean to that mean to that woman. They were so scared of being mean to that woman. They almost let a flimsy allegation derail the Supreme Court nomination destroy Kavanaugh's life.
And what what if Trump had come out and said, you know what, we're gonna replace him before his testimony. Now you're saying that wouldn't have happened. It could have happened. We don't even need to hear from it were and replace him. Let's let's end this for the country's sake. That could have happened. That's how bad the Republicans were in that initial hearing with Ford, and thank heavens, Lindsey Graham was there, Thank heavens, he was able to make
the case. Now, dirsh is one of those people that says that we should have this background check here. I gotta you know the dirst is wrong sometimes, Well, let me let me hear what he says before I I get too deep into this with him. Play clip five. Please. Well, when I watched her, I really thought she was extremely credible, and I had grave doubts as to whether he could win the credibility contests. But then he made this remarkable comeback,
and he really testified in a completely compelling manner. So I think in the end there is a tie when it comes to personal credibility. So how do you break the tie? I think one way is to for corroboration, and he has much more corroboration on his side. Now, the best way to make sure that corroboration is accurate is for the committee to call the other witnesses and let the FBI continue its background check. And I think in the end it will do him more good than harm.
I think I think the dirsh is he's thinking about this like a lawyer and not a brawler, and this is a brawl. They're they're not going to play by the rules. Man. They're not going to just want to bring witnesses forward. They're gonna by the way, there's going to be intimidation of people who come forward. There's going to be enormous pressure. And when it comes forward to
say maybe just a little something, you know, Mike. One thing I've been thinking about is if if she had had just one person willing to say the following, yeah, I remember that night. I don't remember the details, but I remember something. I remember something like that happened, which, by the way, completely unfalsifiable statement talking about thirty something on years ago. If one of the people that they had already asked about this had said, yeah, I think
something like that happened, he'd be done. Done. All it takes is one. Instead, every person they've talked to you has been like, I just do not remember anything like that, and I would know about this. Um, so keep that in mind. I mean, I think that the way we're looking at this, it's, oh, we haven't you know, if we just keep looking around, we keep digging the fact that they haven't already found somebody who's been willing to say, yeah,
this thing kind of happened. The fact that they don't have a person driving her home who can who can corroborate this. They don't have her telling her parents right afterwards, or her friends or anybody within you know, thirty years of the event. They don't have any of the things that you think would be there that would be just all she needs is one one corroborating data point and he would have been done. She doesn't have one because this didn't happen. But that's you know, people can, and
I trust me. I've been getting yelled at this, all yelled at for this all week. Um, Can I tell them what you told me about CNN? By the way, I thought that was great, But remember when you called, we talked today about CNN. Can I tell the audience about this so pruser might calls. We were just chatting, catching up and talking before we do the show. He's just like, man, I think you said about CNN. He's like, well, and I gave him some of the details about who
it was, what happened. He's like, that's when you know you're over the target. Brother. I was like, that's right. When cnn' is like, maybe you should be a little more careful with your reputation before taking these strong stands, I'm like, Oh, I'm getting to you punks over there. Huh seeing this in your timeline a little too much? People are people are magnifying some of the points I'm making to the degree that it's getting up on your radar and you don't like it, And that's why you
know it's time to hit it harder. When se Ann says, stop, you're hurting me, that's when you got a swing harder. Oh, I don't like it. CNN doesn't like it. Ah, the worst they are the worst. Um. I just wanted to give a few more points or about the the FBI probe. Um, they're already. Well, you get Chris Coons, who's just a grandstanding, grandstanding slimeball in this one. Here's what he said about it.
What I'm encouraged by is that in a anti room back hall conversation, first with Senator Flake, and then with Senator Feinstein, and then with many other senators of both parties. Um, there was a broad agreement UM that that this committee
has been two divided into two partisan in this process. UM, and a hope that by having the FBI look into these allegations for just a few more days, limited in scope and time, that we can both show respect for victims who have come forward with allegations and give Judge Kavanaugh some prospect of his name being cleared in some ways before a final vote, and give the members of the committee and of the Senate some reason to have
more confidence before proceeding to a final vote. Deeply grateful, Senator. If you're playing Super Mario Brothers, what is that weird noise? Um? Mario, I gotta tell you remember what he said there just a few days in scope. He is a cold stone liar. There is no way, There is no way that next week he'll say, Okay, the FBI says they've done their thing. That's enough, that's enough. No way. Now we're rewarding bad behavior. We are rewarding the Democrat Party as a hostage taker here.
We're bringing them food and giving them bags of cash and saying you're not gonna take hostages again. Right, You're not gonna do it. You're promising us you're not gonna do it. Total total disgrace. Coons has already trying to tip his hand a little bit. There is understandable concern on the part of many senators and the other caucus that they expressed in our Judiciary Committee meeting um that there will simply be additional allegation is coming forward. If
there are, I think they should be investigated. But what Senator Flake has proffered and what I support, is the idea that it should be no more than a one week delay before a final vote, and that frankly, the current allegations um should be sufficient for the FBI to give some further input to the members of the committee about whether there are or are not reasons for there to be some cloud hanging over Judge Kavanaugh's domination. They're
they're they're open. The door is open, just a little bit. It only has to be opened, just just a tiny, tiny bit. This is what is going to happen. By the way, what do we think of Sheila Jackson Lee giving the attorney in envelope. You've seen that video remember the house giving giving forwards attorney and like slipping it to him kinda, there's so much Mike, you know it, Brandon, you know, there's so much dirty going on behind the scenes.
I'm not saying illegal. I'm just saying there's so much dirty tricks and foul play, and if we knew, if we were ever able, maybe we will get some sense of it, to find out how orchestrated all this was behind the scenes and what's been happening here. It would
make your head spin. I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and be like, was Sauros he was behind it though, But I mean maybe I know people say that saying it's Soros is like is like when the Left blames the Koch brothers, except Soros actually does a lot of shapy stuff. Like you know, just because you say it's Soros doesn't mean it's not true. It doesn't mean you're crazy. What I think I could just picture Shield jaccidentally go and this is from Georgie Baby for you, for you
something something very sketchy going on there. So anyway, I'm just I'm not I'm noticing that that there are people that are starting to think, oh, it's gonna you know, it's we're going to the weekend. It's our natural inclination to are to take the approach of it's gonna calm down. Nope, everybody, get ready for what you have seen, unfortunately is just an appetizer of awful. But the evil entree is going
to get served up and it's gonna be rough. This whole two week effort has been a calculated and orchestrated political hit, fueled with apparent pent up anger about President Trump and the two thousand and sixteen election, fear that has been unfairly stoked about my judicial record, revenge on behalf of the Clintons, and millions of dollars in money from outside left wing opposition groups. This is a circus. The consequences will extend long past my nomination. The consequences
will be with us for decades. This grotesque and coordinated character assassination will dissuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from serving our country. And, as we all know, in the United States political system of the early two thousand's, what goes around comes around. Remember those words of Kavanaugh, don't forget about it, and I don't want you to
just spread the word by sharing this show. That would be very helpful too, Quite honestly, because I've been on the front lines of the Kavanaugh fight in public from the very beginning. I'm in contact with the team that's trying to push kavanaf through. So I've been very much involved in this process. But if you want to get involved, Producer, Mike, what can you tell us? I have the Washington d C Office phone numbers of some of our senators who
are on the fence here. So if our awesome listeners would like to give him a call, I like it. Voice their display sure of what's been going on here? You go, get a pen, get some paper. Here we are Senator Jeff Lake his numbers two zero two to two four four five to one. Senator Joe Manson phone number two zero two to two, four three nine five four, Heidi high Camp two zero two to two, four to zero four three, Susan Collins to zero two to two, four to five to three, and Lisa Murkowski two zero
two to two four six six six five. I would say, team, maybe maybe let up the board a little bit, Maybe give him a ring, Let them know what you think, let them know that this is about so much more than just a Supreme Court seat. This is about what kind of country we are living in. What is the character of this nation, How do we treat people? What do we allow our government to do? Do individual rights? Does individual dignity matter? Does honor matter at all in
public life? Anymore? Let them know and team, I don't have to tell you what to say, because I know all of you listening you know exactly what to say. Please do feel free to light up those lines. So I'll give you the number. And if you missed those numbers, well download the podcast and you can play it back and you'll get all those numbers as much as you want.

I know you're supporting veterans and patriots. Black Rifle Coffee is what you want. Again, Black Rifle Coffee dot com slash Buck. We hear from the witnesses, but the FBI isn't interviewing them and isn't giving us any facts. So all we have you're interviewing me.
You're interviewing me. You're you're doing it, senator. I'm sorry to interrupt, but you're doing it. That's that there's no conclusions reached. And what you're saying, if if I understand it, is that the allegations by Dr Ford, Mr. Ramirez and Miss Fett sweat nick Um are are wrong. That that is emphatically what I'm saying emphatically, the sweat Nick thing is a joke, that is a farce. Would you like
to say more about it? No good for him? Feinstein trash, just total trash, not just in the hearing all of it. Oh yeah, sure, she didn't leak anything. It just sort
of came out. I noticed that she was willing to even push forward under the bus with saying well, maybe it was her friends, maybe it was her beach friends that that leaked the information that producer Mike, I'm I'm telling you right now, we're gonna find out at some point that the beach friends thing, because really what that was all about, and that's why this prosecutor lady yesterday Mitchell was going down that path is this was orchestrated.
I mean, there were people that were there. The story that we've been told is that she came forward because of all the trauma and it was her civic duty. The reality is there were big, heavy hitter, deep pocket Democrat donors, fixers and politicos who were all over this thing, all over it and if it was a criminal investigation, by the way, we might actually be able to do things like subpoena emails and communications. But they know it's not. It's a background check, so we're never gonna see who
she talked to. We're never gonna see what the phone calls are. People say, oh buck, she wouldn't, Line wrote, Okay, I'm sure that they were smart at her legal team, as you saw from them sitting there. We're smart enough to make sure that they we're running all the ops for her and keeping her just in the dark enough that she could keep this whole sort of Oh, I don't know what's going on, this kind of naive. I'm just doing my civic duty routine. Dude. They that's what
the beach friends bull crap. There's no way, there's no way that that is actually that that's just how this all came together here. Oh yeah, they just paid for her polygraph. Let me tell you something about lawyers. Okay, lawyers don't just show up and start paying for things for you just because not not not to be mean to any lawyers. I got a family member who's one, But I've never heard of a lawyer who's like, not only am I doing this pro bono. I'm going to
cover your expenses. They're covering her expenses. That's why the whole polygraph thing, you know, she's like, I don't know who paid for the polygraph. That's significant. Mike. Do you think that if you were, if you were testifying before Congress, they would pay for your stuff? No, I don't think so.
I don't think that would happen. And I mentioned to you yesterday about her beach friends um from Santa Cruz Is where they're talking about, which is one of the most leftist, progressive radical cities possibly in the United States. I mean, she's obviously a progressive radical by by the way, I actually know the stats on this in the medical profession, and she's not an m D. So I do this whole calling her doctor thing all the time gets a
little old. She's a professor, she has a PhD. But getting a PhD in psychology is you know, it's it's a thing. Okay, But I mean, I'm just I'll leave it there. But she but but psychology in particular, of all of the academic medical disciplines is by far the most left wing. It's like in the pent range is basically what you get with college professors that psychiatrists and
psychologists are overwhelmingly left wing. Surgeons, interestingly enough, are actually generally uh they skew a little conservative because they fixed stuff and there's no like, oh, like the guy's heart stopped pumping. But you know, I tried, you know what I mean, Like there's real cause and effect and consequence, and there's a kind of swagger to it, whereas you know people that are it's like why they dominate the social sciences too. There there there's no science in the
social sciences anyway. So here's why I bring up though this the sweat nick allegations as as a part of all is I mean, the reason I wanted to spend a little bit of time on that with you is if you think that's bad and and here's another prediction. And as folks know, and I'm trying to scale back them, I wasn't I right? Wasn't I right? All right? I take these things to heart, but I am write a lot uh next week, Mike, this stuff that they're gonna come out with about that, it's going to be there
because they don't care. Right at this point, they've already thrown up. The media is thrown away all credibility. They're not objective about all this stuff. They'll they'll run a story about how Kavanaugh used to torture animals when he was eight. Can you prove he didn't torture Fluffy the poodle down the block? No, why don't you want an investigation by the A s p c A if you're torturing of Fluffy? They'll say, the craziest stuff on the planet.
People don't understand this because this isn't getting reported. There have already been straight up massive fabrications about him, submitted by people named people to the Senate saying, oh, he he raped some woman in Rhode Island on a boat. And they're like, oh my god, this is gonna fall apart because they gave a location and a time and names of people he didn't know. So there's no level of crazy now that they won't sink to. And what they realize is they have to just come up with
allegations that you can't disprove, and they'll pile on. They'll have more and more people saying, oh, I know, I know he got black out drunk. He's a liar. He got black cow drunk. They're gonna say that over over. How do you prove you never got block out drunk? I have a text here from my brother last night. Oh, let's go. Because so when do people start writing in that Cavanaugh abuse their pets? Oh my gosh, he's right on the same way. Absolutely, Yeah, this is where it goes.
And you know what's gonna be amazing about this. People are going to say crazy stuff next week and CNN we'll do this kind of pseudo skepticism reporting of it where they'll say, like, we cannot confirm yet, but was Kavanaugh torturing Fluffy the poodle when he was ten? We we have sources on named sources right now. We want to protect her. They didn't want to come forward, Mike, Fluffy the poodle is at stake here. I mean, don't make stuff up. Then Pete can get involved. And you know,
I'm so here's the thing. I'm not making light of the first allegation. The third one I am because it's crap. I mean, it's a lie, right, the first allegation, I'm a little I think the woman is is delusional. I feel sad for her. Uh and obviously any actual salt is really serious. But what I'm saying is now that they've already broken the barrier of just completely false stuff. Right, they started with their strongest punch, and then they tried another one to add on, and then they tried for
a haymaker with the third, but they overreached. But now that they've done that, the next level is gonna be a whole other it's you know, now it's the floodgates are open. Now it's he you know, look, they said that mid Romney like basically abused a dog, but but he had the dog on the roof of a car. Think about the stuff that they've that was mid Romney. They made him look like some kind of a dog abuser.
I feel like mid Romney has probably donated more money to, you know, make sure that people have homes for Fluffy the poodle and any other human being on the planet. I mean, it's but that's what we're gonna it's gonna get it's gonna go into straight up crazy town now, and they're gonna report on it. Like we can't verify this, but maybe maybe Kavanaugh is actually into S and M. I mean, I can't tell you if we have you know, there's no evidence of this yet, but you know, if
he is, there's an abusive streak here. People are saying there were Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post among the dumbest pundits period, and the fact that they keep referring to ads a conservative because she's meant to be. She's the I'm just gonna say it, She's the pudgy, unathletic kid that you get stuck with in the tug of war. Remember on field day and nobody wanted. The kid is gonna like, oh, I don't wanted, and they're like uh,
and they put him there. Now, you might say that for tug of war, actually the pudgy kid is good. But no, no, because he loses his balance that he falls down and then everybody else falls down. Jennifer Ubins like that for conservatives. They want her on our team because she messes us up. But she's not on our team.
She's not a conservative. Do you had people last night they were saying that Kavanaugh was showing us what he's like when he's a belligerent drunk, when he was defending himself for charges essentially of gang rape, which doesn't get enough that doesn't get enough focus or attention here. He wasn't just charged with that first instance. He's been charged. I mean they read into the record these other things. And that's why when fine Stein brought it up with him.
The whole thing is any any red blooded American male would have gone to the Kavanaugh level and then some I might have flipped over a table. I mean I might have gone al Pacino incentive a woman threatening to take a flamethrow to this place. Although you know, if you actually said that in the Senate, I'm sure you'd get into a lot of trouble. But you know what I mean, you know, yeah, it's crazy. Um, it's uh,
it's a pretty remarkable situation. It's like you've said before with in regards to Reuben, you said many times how the Republican never trumpers or even worse than the Democrats who hate him. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing. They really they really do hate him, though I hate him more than anything else. So I just I want to prepare everybody. I want to prepare everybody and just let them know that, uh, next week is gonna be I know that because there's this there's this sense that we all have of it
has to get less crazy. Like, I can't keep being this. They can't keep you know, Michael avanat. Avanati's straight up saying that it's gonna get He's just gonna come out with all this other stuff and he'll say anything, right, He's just an attention hore. But you're gonna see stuff next week that's gonna I don't know where we go from here. I'm not enough of a psychopath to get ahead of where the Democrats are going or where their allies and the media are gonna go with this. But
it's funny. Your brother and I we're we're of like mind. They're gonna come up with something else that is discrediting and you know, dishonorable sounding, and there's nothing that anybody could ever do to prove that they're lying. I actually have a question for you. Do you think Democrats have already overplayed their hand, like they've already done it and whatever they do is even gonna get worse for them in the maternal Yes, but but they're they're like crazy
people that they're hysterical. They're not, so they have no ability to self correct based upon the overage. Yeah, absolutely, I think they have overreach. But that's why I think They're gonna go with something even more bonkers, And I mean, how much more bonkers can you get than gang rape parties where Kavanaugh was waiting in line outside of them.
You know, there are some things that I could There are things that I can believe about certain people in certain situations looking into the darkest moment in their soul, that is not one of them with this guy. Given all the other circumstances around it, too, nobody knew about this.
I mean, I had a congresswoman on on Rising and I said, I said, Congresswoman, honestly, she's a Democrat, of course, is that Are you you really think that this kind of stuff I mean that happens are the gang rape parties that that women keep going to where they know this is going to happen. She said, yeah, she's heard of things like that, and I wasn't able to push her into more specifics because we had to end the interview. But I was like, come on, really, I've I grew
up in New York City. That was the other thing. Two people I was getting some people like, well, what do you know about prep DC schools in the eighties. I'm like, actually, kind of know a lot about what that's like. Uh, kind of kind of my wheelhouse. Uh. And I've never heard of and a thing anything that even vaguely resembled the third the Sweatneck allegations. That was space aliens landing from Mars level crazy. So where do you go from there? I don't really know. All Right,
I'm gonna come back. We're gonna talk to a guy about campus craziness to this hour, So stick around for that and much more. I told the story of my sexual assault. I told it because I recognize and her story that she's telling that truth. What you're doing is allowing someone who actually violated a woman to sit in a Supreme court don't matter. They should just keep it to themselves because if they have told the truth, you're
just gonna help that man to power. Anyway, Guys, what you're telling all of these women, guys who you're telling me right now? Look, tell mean, when I'm talking to you, you're telling me that myself doesn't matter, what happened to me doesn't matter, and that you're gonna let me people look and do these things into the power. So clearly people are and women in this case who are confronting Jeff flake in that audio sound, but in in the elevator, uh,
at Capitol Hill, I mean in the Senate building. Um, they are hysterical about this, and you see there, and I feel very badly for for anyone who this this
dredges up the incredibly painful memories of an assault. But we we also have to draw a hard line here, and the line is that just because a person was assaulted by somebody does not mean that we should act like Kavanaugh is guilty, act like there is evidence against Kavanaugh to support that charge, and throw him to the wolves, because somehow it will send a message to people who have actually been sexually assaulted that we take this seriously.
Our system is premised upon individual rights, freedom and justice. There is no provisoh, there's no carve out for collective punishment based on no no, no no, No matter how sad something makes someone, no matter how terrible an ordeal they've gone through, collective punishment is in fact anti justice, or rather, punishment for an individual because of the whims or the needs or desires of the collective is inherently unjust. Every
case has to be judged on its merits. This is not a hard case on the merits if an allegation, no matter how credible, without any supporting witnesses, corroboration, or evidence, and with massive holes in the story and in the timeline of the story, as well as decades of eroding memory, because that is what happens over the course of decades from an incident. If just the allegation is enough to create guilt and the consequences of guilt, we are living
in a different country. And I blame the media a lot for creating this dynamic where women really do seem to believe not all women, but obviously some women like the ones at Capitol Hill, who are not just protesting, but who are engaged in civil disobedience and who are getting arrested, and who are so upset about what's gone on here to the point where they're irrational about it.
One individuals assault. I mean, if I if I had, let's say, I had a close friend who was, you know, killed in an act of violence, and then I were to wait outside the trial of somebody else who was found not guilty of an act of violence, that doesn't mean that the people in that trial that that jury
doesn't take violence seriously. It means they think that person didn't do it, and we keep skipping past this, We keep skipping past that if what Dr Ford says is true, there should be other things that would support her account, and that the timing of this is all incredibly convenient, and the way that her story comes together, where it's just enough emotional detail to be damaging, but not nearly enough detail that it can be disproven, that I think
is more than just a little bit suspect. But I know people really want to believe this because it also makes them feel like they are standing for the side of righteousness, when in fact they're standing with evil. I don't just mean because of the implications for Row versus Wade.
I mean because what was televised here with Kavanaugh's hearing was a ritualistic humiliation and torture of a good man for the amusement and the gratification and the satisfaction of the most extreme feminists and left wing demagogues in the country. And it was and utter disgrace. And that these people then go and chase down senators and scream in their faces about this, as if that's going to change anyone's mind, just goes to show you that they are having emotional issues.
I mean there are people who feel very deeply invested in the outcome of whether the Senate goes forward this or not. And I mean personally and psychologically invested in this to a degree that is unhealthy. And that's where I start to feel as though this is going to take an even uglier turn. It was not long ago that a leftist ideologue in this country tried a mass assassination of conservative members of Congress at a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia. The media covered it a bit and
then moved on from it. They try not to bring it back up again. When people feel like their fundamental rights, in this case the right to abort babies, but also they're right to decide who is guilty based upon who sounds the most convincing with a a story of sadness and emotion. When they feel that right has been taken away from them, will they turn to violence? I hope not, But none of us know. Dr Ford did not spend her entire life preparing for this moment. She did not
come here with a political agenda. She did not testify with a job promotion on the line. She did not evade our questions, and she did not demean our motives of either Republicans or Democrats. She instead, plainly, with grace times emotionally recounted the trauma that she experienced as a fifteen year old girl. Trauma has been hunting her for the thirty six years since she had nothing to gain, everything to lose, are coming for Listen closely to both her and Judge Kavana, and I believe her as I
believed Anita Hill. As he's wrong, wrong about both. I gotta say that this the Democrats. I go back and forth between wanting to scream with with rage at them and then also wanting to kind of just mock and laugh at them. I mean that this thing with Lahy, it was a huge mistake that Republicans made. It almost cost them. It almost cost them a Kavanaugh thing outright by having that prosecutor Mitchell. You know that that was
a huge mistake. I've I got to do it today with with a defense attorney a little bit that I know about this where it's like, look, man, we both know we he's a he's a big Democrat. If you had had Ford try to present that story and it, first of all, it would never go to a courtroom because they would never charge anybody based on the facts of this case as we know them. Never, not in
a million years. It would never be investigated because there's nothing that they could use to investigate that other than the statements of people that were there, which they already have. So there's nothing that they would be able to investigate further. And quite honestly, it wouldn't be taken particularly seriously by any law enforcement agency because it wouldn't. People keep saying there's no statute limitations. Yeah, that would be if he
actually raped somebody. I mean, there's when you look at the actual crime here, she says it's attempted rape. But there's there's no way to prove that. There's no way to prove there's attempted rape. I mean, there's no actual physical penetration. I mean, if she went into a and you're not gonna hear some anybody else, I just want to tell it to you, because we've gotta be honest here in the Hut. If she went into a court him with this story, her story would have been shredded.
I don't remember where it was, I don't remember who was there, I don't remember anything about what happened. After her. I don't know who took me home. I don't know what house I you know, I don't know what year, I don't this is, but but they act like what she did was so was was this incredible act of bravery. I mean, she has a half a million dollar go fund Me account that's already been set up for her.
Where you know what's gonna happen with that. I'm sure they're gonna say she's gonna donate that money to a victim's fund or something. Anybody wanna want to place a bet right now as to whether or not she gets a seven figure book deal within the next eighteen months seven figure book deal, you know, and any and any any snide little democrat punk who would want to argue with me on that, I'd say, let's let's put some money on it. That's how confident I am that they're
gonna do. They're gonna shower her with cash. She's going to hit the the nationwide speaking circuit now as a hero, kind of like Anita Hill, who, by the way, followed Clarence Thomas around Oh so bad. He said such nasty things. He was so aggressive and wanted to go on a date with me. The fact that people even talk about this in the same sentence Clarence Thomas is accused of like saying some inappropriate stuff and what a bunch of of you know, namby pamby nonsense people are there's the
whole thing to disgrace in layers or courage. No political agenda. No, the political agenda is to ruin a man's life and save a Supreme Court seat for the Democrats. They can keep on having the industrialized mass slaughter taxpayer subsidized by the way of babies. That's actually what this is all about. Everything else is noise. Patrick lahy Man, what what these
people are disgusting? They are disgusting. There is no amount of money, there's no job you could have, There's nothing you could do that would ever make me treat anybody the way they redd cavan all yesterday. Never it's because I have some honor and they don't. As we know, folks, college campuses are pretty crazy these days. A lot of liberal indoctrination over a long period of time has led them to be well, just borderline and saying on a lot of stuff. But where does all of this come from?
And how bad has it gotten? We have somebody with us now who is a true expert in this and oh so much more. We're joined by Greg lukyan Off. He's the author of the new book The Coddling of the American Mind, How good intentions and bad ideas are setting up a generation for failure. Also, he is the president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Education. Greg, great to have you on the show, my friend. Okay,
so things have always been crazy on college campuses. I've told many a story here about, for example, being threatened by a whole bunch of student groups with a picketing if we threw a Sanco de Mayo party because of cultural appropriation. And that was over a decade ago. But things have gotten crazier and now people are really taking this to new levels. How has it gotten worse? Let's first start with that. Well, yeah, I mean for most of my career I started. I'm a first amentent lawyer.
I started right after I got out of law school in two thousand one, um, and I've been defending free speech on campus for long before this was as much of the public conscious as it is now. But for almost all that time, up until about uh, the people you were likely to get in trouble with were campus bureaucrats. They were administrators who wanted to create little free speech zones or to create speech codes. The students themselves, when asked at least UM, attended to be pretty good on
free speech. But sometimes around seemingly overnight, you suddenly have the request for you know, micro aggression policies, from mandatory trigger warning policies UM, for speech codes coming from students, and for disinvitations for speakers that they that they didn't like,
not not to pick at them. We're I'm a hundred percent fine with people picketing people for things they don't like, but when they're when they're on a campus and you're demanding this person can't speak here because I don't like them, that that doesn't work. Yeah, and these are these are concepts that are our new constructs. You know. For example, if folks listening would go back and watch the movie PCU, which Greg, I'm sure you've seen. You must have seen PCU, right, Uh, yeah,
of course. I mean to be in your line of work, I feel like it's required. And you see what the what the politically correct campus was like in that movie from I guess the mid nineties. You know, yeah, there's a lot of stuff about vegans and the affirmative actions talk and all this stuff, and of course the prep you white guys are the bad guys, um, But there's
nothing about trigger warnings. Speech equals violence. I mean, I think of all the pernicious ideas that have caught on on college campuses, speech equals violence has got to be among the world. It's probably the worst. Yeah. No, it's a really dangerous idea. My co author for the book and I also wrote an article for The Atlantic um called why it's a terrible idea to tell students that speech is the same thing as violence. It's just a bad idea on every level. But the thing that I
point out is it's not actually a new idea. It's an ancient idea, um. For long before we we had sort of the Enlightenment, you know, the idea that kind of like you should be killed if you if you say something with blasphemous that's that that that's most of human history. But it's also most of human barbarism. Um. So we come up with this with this amazing invention of saying, you know what, people are gonna are entitled to their opinions, and we're going to really try to
stick with this. And this is kind of a whole idea of the First Amendment that we're no longer going to kill each other over if you if I think you have the wrong opinions on stuff. So it's as if a generation is rediscovering this ancient, terrible idea, like it's a new and good idea. We're speaking of Greg lukian Off, the who is the author of the Coddling of the American Mind. How good intentions and bad ideas
are setting up a generation for failure. So where does so now we we've talked about some of these new things trigger warning, deep platforming, right, which means oh no, you can't even come speak. It's not just that will stand outside and make a rockets. We we will actually actively shut down. I mean, I remember, I think it was a Jordan Peterson speech that I watched recently on YouTube and there was some weird It's I thought it
was a faulty quality for the recording. No, it was people banging on doors and banging on whatever they could find outside the auditorium to try to drown him out. They really believe this d platforming idea. Greg when did this stuff come about? And where do these new and honestly more destructive ideas to free speech come from? Well, you know, d platforming was an idea that goes back
to Britain in the nineteen seventies. And originally it was like the full title was no platform for fascists, UM on it and and uh and unfortunately it wasn't that you know, it wasn't really an export over to the US. UM. But it really started to tick up sometime around two thousand nine and then particularly around and that was the year where people really noticed, um, that's happening because it
was no longer UM directed just at clearer conservatives. So I mean, I think the media had gotten kind of used to people demanding that conservatives b D platforms on campus. But it ended up being you know, Christine Lagarde, who's the head of the International Monetary Fund, Robert Bersion now UM but a lefty UM chancellor of of UC Berkeley, and suddenly started to realize that the purity test that people had to pass on campus with just getting tougher
and tougher. Now who also decides what the you know I've seen. I think it was just this week USC has put out some statement that Ben Shapiro, who is somebody that that whose work I really like in respect, is a quote advocating for the extermination of whole races. Why obviously that's not true. But to they're clearly trying to make Ben outside. And by the way, it's the best press. I mean, I wish people thought that when I was coming to campus, I was saying crazy things.
It is the best press you could possibly get. But who makes these decisions? How do they come to the decision about whether you're outside the mainstream you would prefernd can remember his name, the guy who wrote the Bell Curve. He was up Murray, Yeah, Charles Murray. But Middleburg he got physically attacked. Ben Shapiro is getting deep platform. Who makes these decisions? Now? Uh well, you know definitely what you're talking about there is just the escalation of the rhetoric.
And one thing that we've heard a lot of the kind of a fashionable term is saying that you're just by your speech and by your beliefs, you're denying someone they're right to exist. And this is this, this is totally a victim of concept creep too, because you know, first people were saying it about Milo and now people are saying that or you know, Richard Spencer, who you know is a genuine you know, the white supremacist. But now they're going you know, they're going down to people
like Ben Shapiro. And it's this ongoing effort to to to make to keep on shrinking the area of allowable discourse. Now. Also, the the Academy has taken steps now and there's I know, I think you deal with this in the book from our from our discussion before where peer reviewed articles, it's not enough to have an addendum, orbition, apology. It's now retraction.
If if if you offend the politically correct sensibilities of the left, you can't just apologize, and you can't just say here's the additional point of view or here's how it could have done this differently. They want Soviet style racing of the you know, of the item in question. Yeah, and that's actually that that that's kind of new because
uproar over articles frot matter. Actually uproar articles is kind of novel anyway, because you know, like who reads them in the first place, And usually the way you you know, fight back is just write another article or write and a bead or or or you know, UM put something on tweet about it for goodness sake. But in the past couple of years it's been uh demands for retractions
that magazines have actually been following. There was this other example that we talked about in the book involving a professor Gilly, who almost like on a dare, decided to write an article in defense of colonialism. But it was very much an intellectual experiment, and they retracted it after Gilly himself and the editor of the magazine started getting
death threats. And I've just never heard of anything like this in my career where an academic article which was clearly a thought experiment, um, you know, some devil's advocacy in it, um starts getting they had to retract a paper in the face of death threats. Like that's something something was very much changing. And I can tell you something I know there's a little off the off, just the campus topic. We're speaking to Greg bukian Off, author of The Coddling of the American Mind. You can get
on Amazon right now. I've got a copy. You should definitely check it out. But but Craig, I I have a friend I won't name him who because he told me this kind of you know, just just mano a mano uh and uh he said, actually that's not the right phrase for that. Whatever man and man. He said this to me once that of all the things he's written, UM, the single one that got him in the most trouble in terms of death threats was about transgenderism. Not abortion,
not affirmative action, not war, none of that. Transgenderism. And that's and that's one of the examples we use in
the book. UM. Two is Rebecca too Vel and she wrote an article after Rachel dolls All became popular Rachel Dolazol as the white woman who later in life identified as a black female, and it was I was revealed that she actually was in fact white, and Um, Rebecca too Vell wrote an article saying, you know, are we have we decided that she um, your your gender identity and your racial identity can both be fluid in the
same way. And the answer from her peers was not just a resounding no, but it's basically blasphemous for you to even talk about this. And she was treated, you know, we talked, we liken it to a witch hunt in the book because people were signing these ritual denunciations of her well at the same time, which makes it even worse writing or in private saying you know, I'm really sorry,
what's happening to you here? Until the journal called Hypatia retracted the retracted the article, but even then still still going after as if she was a genuine blasphemer. And I also feel like you've seen much more of the left eating its own than ever before because these rules and really these these these emotional slash intellectual fashions on the left keep changing and changed so rapidly and really haphazardly that people get caught up in and don't even
realize that they've they themselves have transgressed. And it's like, no, this is like the you know, a Soviet committee where you never know what it's going to be your turn
to get taken out behind the building. Yeah, and that and that has been interesting, you know, Like I always describe myself as an old school a CLU guy, and there are a lot of you know, older you know, people calling sulf liberals who are very pro free speech, they believe the free speech movement, and a lot of them are really horrified to see the environment that you
currently have on campus. So, you know, people going after Laura Kipness, you know, UM, who was a professor who wrote an article saying that the way we enforced Title nine has gone too far. And for writing that article in the Chronicle Higher Education, she was brought up for investigation under Title nine at the university Northwestern University UM. The university dropped the charges after she took her investigation public.
She wrote a book about her experience after that, and that was again investigated by the Title line committee at Northwestern. So it isn't being this really surreal and it and and it ends up being all these like secret hearings. It ends up being the you know, cop gask is actually appropriate in the circumstance. Now, one more thing before I let you go, Greg, anyway, this is going to get better? Um, I think it. I think it's going to get better because it has to. Not necessarily, it
could get worse before it gets better. But you just can't keep going this. This is such a m This is not a good situation for the production of ideas. It's not an environment where people are gonna want to pay seventy thousand dollars a year for the privilege of going to a place where they have to be so terrified about opening their mouths. So it just can't keep going like this forever. Alright, Gregor Guiana off the colleague of the American Mind. Check out the book, Greg, thanks
so much and good luck. Yeah, thanks for having me. Alright, team, got much more coming. I'll be back in just a moment. Women across this nation should be outraged what these white man senators are doing. Quite to this woman, this is all gross strategizing from eleven old white men. It's a white man strategy that is politically dumb in my opinion, These people in Congress right now, in the very committee, these white men, white men by the way, protecting women.
Why is Joy Behar allowed to call people old? Why is Joy Behar allowed to play the age car? That's not nice? Joy? All right, check yourself before you wreck yourself. Keep going. Oh that's it? Oh Joy by ha sounds like Hillary to me at least, it's all the same man, old white man. What is it with hating old white men. I'd rather I'm rather fond of lots of old white men.
I don't understand what the problem is here. This is now, This is now something that the left is repeating all the time, and they don't understand how normal people view it. They don't seem to pick up on the fact that if old white men are going to be hearing about how they're you know, how they're talked about by the Democrat Party and the media in general going to the mid terms, they may take some degree of offense to it. You know why your old white men talking about it.
It's like, because there's a lot of older white men in the country. I don't understand what what why do is that that all of a sudden destroys your ability to be an objective view a viewpoint on something, to to have any analytic sense of what's going on in the world or in the country. It's just crazy. But these are these are really cultural memes on the left.
I mean, these are things that you expect to These are things you expect to see and to hear from people on the on the left with increasingly because once some of them start to say then they all parrot it. Then they all will say it and it just slips into their their discourse. So now when someone goes on TV and they're not particularly interesting or smart, they know they need to be like, well, I just get so upset about the old white men out there and goes, yeah,
like what are you even say? We're talking about tax policy? Like what is this? That's great? So this is happening now. Old white men are bad, apparently, according to Democrat parties. A lot of old producer, Mike, if you crunch the numbers, a lot of old white dudes who vote in America.
I'm just saying, I hope that they. I hope that the the the more aged and wise gentlemen listening to this show, We'll make sure that they pay attention to fact that the Democratic Party kind of hates them and maybe they shouldn't vote Democrat because maybe Democrats are kind of pushing for evil these days. Anyway. And then you've got the others out of this too, which is the cultural push for um for men to be very solicitous of.
You know, we need to make sure we have female voices here, We need to make sure that, you know, I just want intelligent voices on whatever the topic is. But but Jim Acosta had a real we had to get a do we have the buck slap noise handy? We should because he deserves one. Come on. I'm I'm I'm putting them on the spot. It's not as fierce as it should be, but it gets the job done. But you got yeah, yeah, what do you got? Now? We we can't hear you in here, man, No, no,
producer Mike, I can't hear you. You can't hear me now, I can't Okay, Yeah, you just use the words intelligent voices in Jim Accosta in the same sentence. It's terrible. I should code red myself ten push ups in the corner. I would say twenty. But let's be real, I worked too much these days, having been to a gym and forever. Uh So, yeah, a Costa's out there and and he this was this was it was too much serious stuff to talk about earlier in the week. So this slip
through the cracks, and producer Mike reminded me. So a Costas at a press conference with Trump, the press conference where Trump was, I mean, dude, he was, he was Trump, he was Trump the Destroyer. It was amazing. He was one of his best press conferences ever. And and accosted this whole thing. Where As if the grand sending that he pulls himself is not enough, he likes to try to use other people at CNN for the purpose of his own grandstanding. Please play the clip you don't mind
after I'm finished. If we jer or Halle or or Vivian or one of our female colleagues could go after me, that would be great. Um, this president just to follow up on these allegations against What does he mean by that? Explain what? What does what does that meant? A female? What does it mean? What does it mean if a female reporter would ask you a question about this issue? So if you don't mind, I wouldn't mind it at all. I wouldn't mind it at all. Right, Well, let me
if I wouldn't make any difference to me. You have three women here who are all making allegations, who are all asking that their stories be heard. And you know, if you look at the case of Roy Moore, if you look at the case of one of your staffers, you seem to time and again side with the accused and not the accuser. Is that because of the many, many allegations that you've had uh made against you over the years. I mean, Acosta is such a clown that there's a part of me that is happy that he's
out there. He's a constant reminder to America of this is the un n Yeah, that's right. Jim Acosta is CNN. Jim Acosta is the guy that they're putting front and center at the White House on all these issues, and his all thing, you know, I've got I've got the use of these women behind me. Can they answer the question? First of all, it's like, why don't Jim, why don't you just give your a question to one of them? Don't know, See, Jim is a little little little piggy
when it comes to the questions. He wants to be doling out questions to others and getting his first question in, Uh, can't be greedy, Jim. The president gets to make that call. But I just love I just love how the President came out and just just let him have it. Let him have it. I mean he he's like, what are you even talking about? Dude? Basicallyist what he says to him, and he answers. Acosta saw this as an opportunity to
show how he's such a champion for women. You know who's really doing this a lot these days, as well as his tuban, their chief legal analyst, who is a terrible legal analyst. I don't know if you guys ever see this guy on CNN. He's like Jeffrey Tubit, did it look like a lawyer? So? And this guy according to Sean Davis if you look on Sean Davis is our friend from the Federalists Twitter account. Uh, this dude tubans history when it comes to women is highly a
highly checkered past. But he's on TV. It's like, oh, yeah, as if they did that, women are to be believed, that all this stuff. These people are all posers. They're just fakers. I guess that makes sense because they work at at fake news. But the talking points you here this week about how old white men are bad and how you know, women are to be believed and we need more women voices and all these different things. Normal
people don't think this way. Normal people just think, you know, who's the best person for this job, who's the smartest on this issue. We can have a rational discussion about what do process looks like and what rule of all looks like, even in this kind of weird world of the Senate, which is really the deliberative body here, as everyone keeps saying it's a political process, but the affirmative action, diversity at all costs mentality that you see among Democrats.
It affects their thinking now with everything. I mean, I had to sit there today. You know, I did a show with my co host, Jamal who by the way, he's a Democrat, great guy that really like them all. Uh, he's my co host when Crystals out. But he was really concerned that that we didn't have so we actually skiped into Crystal in Las Vegas because he felt like, look, we really need to have a women a woman rather having this conversation. We had two women on our panel. Um,
but I'm sitting here, Well, I don't understand. Why do I mean, I'm talking mostly about Kavanaugh? So am I only let to talk about Kavanaugh and not for because I'm a man? I mean, this is and look, he's very reasonable about it, but I could tell he was. He was concerned that we in effect didn't have the full right to have the conversation without having a a woman as a part of the conversation. I just don't I don't view the world that way. Maybe I'm guilty
of bucks plaining. Bucks Plaine, that's right, Well, I do talk on radio for it three hours at a time. So there's that, Um, there's plenty of bucks planning that ends up happening. And also I gotta say, Lindsay, you know what's funny. I was. I saw Lindsey Graham do his thing yesterday and we gave him a lot of props on the show. It was the right move because
he deserved it. But I've been saying for weeks that Jeff Flake was gonna flake out, and I sent out a tweet today earlier where I'm like, maybe, I mean, I hope I'm wrong, Maybe I was wrong about this guy. And as soon as I sent it, as soon as I this is the problem with Twitter, as soon as I put it out there, I go, come on, Jeff Flake, the guys they got such a tool. He's gonna screw us over. And I didn't want to delete it because you know, I put it out there sure enough that
my maybe Jeff Flake is not terrible tweet. The the half life of that was was like a couple of hours. I mean before just all of a sudden, I was like, oh, this is looking looking pretty bad. And I was very very disappointed. And I no, I wasn't disappointed because I had been predicting this for weeks flake would flake out.
I even had hashtag flake out ready to go. I think I put it out there before anybody else, not that it wasn't particularly obvious by the way, Bruceter, Mike, you want to make a prediction for how this goes down, I think it ends up going at the end. But it's gonna be next week is going to be hellish.
There will be more story, there will be insane stories, and they will run specials on the most like horrific domestic abuse and sexual violence cases and all these different networks, and it's gonna we're just gonna be inundated with all this stuff next week. No doubt, it's gonna be it. It's gonna be a total mess. It's gonna be a total mess. As we've been describing. I don't know, Republicans just can't they can't seem to learn, they can't seem
to learn their lesson. And as I just mentioned to you before, you know, as we were talking, like do you really think next week when the week's up, that they're going to be like if they come back, and the first thing I tweeter that they're gonna this is this is what we've been talking about today on the show. They're they're gonna say, how dare you do? How dare you do a gang rape investigation in five days? And it's like, well, it's not a real criminal investigation, folks.
This is They can't if they show up people and say when when they sent the CIA to roam around into a background check, it wasn't actually I a that whatever. But when they had the federal government do the background check at Amherst for me and they walked around. They can't lock people in the little room and be like, well, you better tell us everything you know about buck Sexton. They say, hey, what can tell us about buck Sexton?
That's it. If you say I don't want to talk to you weird federal agent in a like ill fitting suit, guess what you don't have to You were not you're not being subpoena. You're under no obligation to talk to them. That's how a background investigation works. So how the hell are they gonna get if someone hasn't coming that someone hasn't come forward. Now you're gonna get the it's the whole dude, the whole thing, you and I. The whole thing is a joke. You know, even handed Brandon knows
it's a joke. He's like, yeah, this is this is ridiculous. Yeah he should, he knows. We all know. All right, we got more. We're gonna get some roll call in a few minutes and uh much much more. So stay with me. There's only one coffee that everybody listening to this show should be drinking. Black Rifle Coffee. Black Rifle Coffee is absolutely delicious. I mean, this is small batch, roast to order coffee. You can get it in all
kinds of different blends. They've got take ups, they've got ground, they've got whole being, and they deliver right to your door. You don't have to worry about getting it at the store. And he more, you'll have it sent right to you. You can even join the coffee club and have it delivered to you every month. But make sure on your first order you got a Black Rifle Coffee dot com slash buck again, that's Black Rifle Coffee dot com slash buck. You will get fiftent off. It's a nice little savings.
It's also a high five of the guys at Black Rifle. Let them know your team Buck, and you heard about them here on the show. I'm sure most of you, maybe almost all of you, drink coffee like I do every day. But if you want to avoid those COMI corporate brands, drink the good stuff. I know you're supporting veterans and patriots. Black Rifle Coffee is what you want again, Black Rifle Coffee dot com slash buck. The show ain't over yet, folks keeping it real. It's time for roll call, Freedom,
Hut and y C in effect. That's right. I'm up in New York tonight, team my hometown NYC. I got a friend, friend's birthday. Man, I love this town so much, Brandon, as I was telling you before I got off the I got off the not the subway, but the Amtrak, and I walked out and I almost got clipped by a guy. He was delivering meals to people. I believe it was an Asian fusion cuisine. Almost took me out. You know what, was like, my friend, Welcome New York,
Welcome home. That's right. I got a few cab drivers, very gruffly telling me that even though their light was on for being on duty, they were not in fact on duty and almost ran me over. You know, NYC. All those smells. I'm like, what is that smell? It's funky and probably probably foul, but yet still alluring because it's New York City, So that was good to be here. Man, the hustle and bust all other people coming to the city,
especially that part of town in Midtown. There's so many people on the street and it's so chaotic and hectic, and to me it's like, I'm It's like I'm on a beach with no people and I've got a corona in my hand. Just home. Especially this week with the U N in town. Oh yeah, that's right. It is really crazy this week. You know, things are things are nuts. Um. By the way, you know that the friend I'm going to see has been a friend of mine since I was in the fifth grade. I don't even know how old.
I think twelve, is that right, maybe eleven or twelve? Then my friends since we're twelve, so going on almost friends for twenty five years. And she was the first girl who I ever asked for her phone number. We never dated or anything, but you know, when you're like seventh grade, eighth grade, you know you want to like hang out with it. We used to go to a It was kind of like the Max from Saved by the Bell. There was a there was like a French
fries in shakes place. And we were in junior high and you know, you had to have the girl's phone number. But when you had the girl's phone number, you had to speak to your parents. Right. It wasn't until we got into high school that some of us started to get our own phone lines, which was a whole other thing. But if you wanted to speak to uh, you know, the your your lady or young lady friend, you had to speak to like, you know, hello, mister so and so.
You know, it was right, but that was this was a more civilized time brand than is what I'm saying. You know, you had to go. You weren't texting each other and you know, sending videos and all the stuff. You had to speak to the parents. The parents knew the boy you were talking and to know the boy. There were no girls that I hung out with the junior higher high school on on any kind of regular basis whose parents did not know me in a like first name handshake. I mean, obviously I called the Mr
and mrs. But they knew who I was, and they knew who my family was. Simpler, simpler, better times my friends. Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna see her tonight. Uh And and also I meet up with Miss Molly who gets back from Paris tonight, but she's coming into New York City first. So I'm in a good mood, Brandon, despite the fact that our country is tearing itself apart right now, Well you look good despite everything, thank you. Uh And by the way, any any fun branded plans for the weekend.
You're gonna like dj it up somewhere. Why are you gonna give us some of your like Axl Rose podcast stuff on the show? You know, tell us about what do you do? Again? You never asked I've asked me. I've asked you just when I just came up with that you do like Axel Rose, Redes the eighties or sothern What is it for sure? That sounds sex here? But now I have a Guns and Roses esque podcast on the I heeart app appetite for distortion. He has checked that out. We just look, we just gave your
podcast to plug on the show. I appreciate it for distortion. You talk about music, I talk up to the person I do profiles. I could be a perfect example. My last guest, Roy Orbison Jr. Of course you know his his dad pretty woman, and you would think what connection does he have to Guns and Roses? Well, Roy Orberson was recording during the week and on the weekends an unknown band. Uh. He would later find out who's gene R with destroy and use the same studios on the weekends.
So when he was fifteen, he'd come in and see the kitchen with the sinks, the filters missing, and he put together. It was until years later he realized that G and R, you know Slash actle, they would take the filters to create smoking devices back in the day. And he learned that when he was fifteen, because you know he's Obson's kid and they do a profile on him as a person. Guns and Roses actually had an appetite for destruction. They did, they did. So it's just
things like that. I've interviewed a friend of Slash who's a quadriplegic who does painting with his wheelchair wheels. But it has that six degrees of G and R Bacon that's my hook. So has like you talked about everything, you know, your movie quotes and uh, just you know, you'll talk to Minke and me just not politics all the time. But your basis is politics me. So I'm just not another rock podcast. I figured gen R is a good place, like a good band that has a
lot of connects. I think you can make a and then I have to get to roll calls. People gonna yell at me. But I think you can make an honest case that Sweet Child of My might be the greatest single rock song of the eighties. I think you can make that case. Sure, And it was great because Roy Overson Jr. Said and he broke it down by guitar chord how that was based off Pretty Woman. I mean it's above my knowledge because I don't play guitar, but just things like that. So it's not just hey,
it's my favorite song. It's kind of you know, interviewing people. What do you say to people listening to this right now, Brandon, who say that Buck is crazy? Sweet Child of Mine is not an all time greater song, whatever you take that to mean. Then living on a prayer, what do
you say to that I don't like bon Jovi. If you say no bon Jovi for you know, it's just I was never into the Uh No, it's just it was like it was bon Jovi's like the Olive Garden of music, Like it's an institution that gets it done. It's fine, you're not gonna go home hungry, but like you're also it's not gonna rock your socks. I think I go back to uh summer of mine that I
worked at at a summer campus. Kid played it for two months straight and that summer made me hate Bonjo And I think working classic rock radio where you play it twenty times a day, so I think I'm just burnt out on the Jovi GENA R is the exception. Well, we ended up actually doing a segment on your podcast, which is fine, So why don't we actually hit a pause here? We'll come back and I will, I promise
I'll do. You can weigh in on some of the roll call, but we do have to do roll call because whenever, by the way, whenever I skip it, which rarely ever happens, but if I short change it, I get notes from people who are like, I know it's your show, but we're a part of this too, why aren't you doing more roll calls? So let me do that and we will come right back. Rock and roll fellow, patriots. We made ours go up to eleven. It's time for
roll call. No more Philip bustering, Philip, Philip bucker ing. That's a thing we could make up. Maybe I'll get I'll get right to the action of the role. Call Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton if you want to be in on this piece, we have. Keith first s up. He says, you're almost always right. But Lindsey Graham retires from the UH Air Force Reserves or it's from the Air Force Reserves, not the Navy. Oh wow, I thought he was a wait, hold on a second. No, no, no, no, no,
I think Lindsey Graham. I'm gonna check this one in real time because I feel like I'm am I wrong on this one. Lindsey Graham military service. Well, we'll get producer Mike to fact check it if I can't get there soon enough. I'm trying to real time. Fact checks are always a bad idea because how are you really gonna know? Oh no, I'm wrong. I'm getting school today. Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard. Well, I still want to go to North care linea now and
vote for him. I think he did a he's done a fantastic job all along. I mean, he's just the voice of sanity. You know, I'll never I'm gonna tell it. No, I won't tell us. I'm not gonna Well, okay, I'm
gonna tell a story. I remember when there was this panel at CNN after a after a big terror attack, and they're all these different people, former CI a former general and like an academic and me, and they all went around and said that this terror attack in Europe was was more or less the fault of the Europeans for being bad at assimilation. And I came up and I just said, this is crazy. Okay, this is a terrorist.
He's blowing up men, women and children are running them over the car in this case, this is not about bad assimilation practices. And I'll never forget. A couple of weeks later, a guy saw me and I just couldn't. I can usually assume he was a liberal. I mean it was New York City and I could tell. And he came off and he was just like, thank you for speaking sense that day. Sometimes being the voice of reason, Brandon is all you need. You just need to be
the voice. You don't have to be brilliant, you don't have to be special. You just have to be the guy that's like a normal person would it this way? And Lindsay Graham was the normal person but he got fired up. Martha, next up, Rights, they need to take Jeff Flake to the wood shed. Well, Martha, you know what Jeff Flake has done, though, is that he was the first one, so he gets all the credit for
negotiating this compromise situation. And he's then going to or he's already gotten the others to go along with him, so it's not like he's the only one. He Look, he's slimy, but he's not not dumb. You know, he's slimy, but it very very well. Maybe the case that you know he is he comes out of this getting everything he wants out of the bargain, which is a shame,
but I do think that's a real possibility. Jim right Buck, My son was gluten free for half his life, and that's how I found Brazilian cheese with Brazilian cheese waffles made with tapioca flower Are you want these in your life? And do not pass a syrup because these bad boys convey them meat. Yeah, that's right, here's the link. You're welcome. Wow, Tappy Oka waffles with meat on them. That no, no, no, Brandon,
don't give me that face, dude. These look really good. Actually, anytime you can come up with a delicious and decadent carbohydrate to package all of your meat in, I think it's a good thing. I think everybody wins. Not exactly Keto friendly, though, do you know Keto. I've been Keto diet. I think it's very similar to the Atkins diet, and maybe there's some I won't speak beyond that because I don't really know. Um, I don't really know Jen. Scotty
doesn't know. Scotty doesn't know. Jen writes, what the hell The FBI already said they don't want or need to be involved in this freak show, Jen, I know. I agree. It is crazy town, carazsy town, and yeah, here we are. It's a bad idea, folks. We don't learn our lesson. The GOP don't learn. Don't learn the lesson. You give these people time, you give them the ability to to try to throw a wrench into things, They're gonna do it.
You gotta remember it's not that the Democrats don't play by the rules of the game, meaning this isn't taking that last time out before the kicker to ice the kicker. That's not what democrats do. Democrats unplugged the scoreboard and take the ball and run home outside the stadium with it like they just they'll shut it down. They will shut it down. So I think that's important for everyone to recognize here. They will not play fair. There's no
way they will play fair. Raphael writes, Hello from Houston. Been trying to find the social media site you talk about, what's it? What's it call? Then? How's it spelled? Well, it's our one of our oh shield tie I fail, it's one of our sponsors. It's called Snippy. In fact, I have snippy dot com open right now, so it's an oh sorry s n I p p y dot com, Snippy dot com. Maybe they could have me do the like little you know what I mean? That was kind
of like Expedia spedia dot com. That's close enough, right, don't quit your day job. Yeah you know what. I've never jobs. Yeah, there's only four of them. Uh, you know, I've never gotten any voiceover work. Makes me very sad. That's the greatest of all the gigs you can get where you're just chilling, and people are like the new forward integral you know, that would be amazing where my friends got out Wendy's and Nokia. Well, who's your friend? I want to meet him. I can learn his ways.
This radio thing, I gotta do three hours of real content every night. I'd sit there and just be like, Hey, come down to Bob's waterhouse warehouse or waterbed warehouse. You need to get the Yeah, you need to get the actual copy right though, from what I understand, you can and just you can't make mistakes on it. Dave right, so long ago I called it and said how glad I was for your voice in today's world. I am really glad for it. Now keep preaching, Dave Shields high
and thank you, sir. I'm really glad you listened to the show. And this is my shameless pitch to all of YouTube. Please please consider telling someone about the show for the weekend. Don't just tell them, share with them, you know, send somebody an email that you send a conservative in your life an email with a link to the Apple podcast of the Buck Sexton Show, Free to do free, for it's all free. Just send it to somebody and see if they'll they'll join the Freedom houd.
I actually got somebody today. It's maybe a slightly embarrassing story, but you know what, Brandon, I'm I'm feeling like I'm in a sharing mood right now. I was on my way home before I was going to get on the train in the swamp in d C. And I might have been writing an electric rideshare scooter and somebody flagged me down. And I can tell he looked like a jovial all of ma Rikan fellow. He's a member of Team Buck, lives in the Maryland area, and he stops me,
and I just I was so happy. It's always nice when I see somebody listen to the show and he's, oh, you know, I listen to your show, And I said, oh, thank you so much. And I wanted to be like, yeah, but can you not tell anybody about this electric scooter situation here? I know it's so Brandon, it is so nerdy, and I accept that there's no way around the nerdiness of it. And my man card Is is getting smaller and smaller all the time. Uh, but it's so fun and so convenient. I get home, It's a mile and
change for me to walk home. I can get home in five minutes and it cost me a dollar fifty. It's pretty dope. That's what the kids used to and I don't think anyone says dope anymore. We have Jen, who rights Buck. Who is the woman sitting direct fine Stein with buzz cut. I don't know who we're talking about, Jen, but if I figure it out, I'll let you know. Kyle.
On the topic of the border and drugs, any military pilot who has done some envy G low level training flights along the border will tell you that when you go on the goggles and low light conditions, it's very common to see blacked out drug trailers think breaking bad and pick up trucks with no headlights driving through the middle of the desert. The naked eye can't see it, but those n v G s and infrared sure do.
They aren't sightseeing enjoy riding their hauling drugs. Kyle, I know a bit about how all of this works, how all this goes, because when I was in the c i A. I spent some time in briefings, not ever working directly with but sometimes in briefings with my d e A colleagues, and the ingenuity of the drug cartels and drug traffickers is a pretty impressive thing. Obviously, it's pernicious because the poison they bring the country kills a lot of people, but it is incredible what they'll do.
And when you understand the economics of drugs, you understand at seizing them in a percentage that's you know, less than se or whatever. And by the way, it's probably less than in reality, but seizing them doesn't do anything other than affect the street price and call street price price fluctuations. So yes, it's true, And I have the d E A chief uh interview on Monday. The acting Chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration will join me on Monday on Rising, which you can check out on Hill
dot tv. But most importantly share the Apple podcast The Buck Sex and show. Let's not let's not dilute the message. I'll be right back with more uh, well, almost delute the message with a more roll call. Hey teen buck, it's time for roll call. Very appropriate role all music, because I may, in fact, I may, in fact the going to a nightclubs to night New York City for a little bit, which I rarely ever do, one of these hip places where you have to be on a list.
It's for the birthday I have to go to. But I'm never on the list unless there's somebody else who's cool, who I just happened to know, who will add me to said list. But I'm never like somebody who's on one of these lists. You know what also happens I the music is always too loud for me. I'm the old man who was like, I don't like this place. It's dark and the music is killing my ear drums. Uh, all right, back to roll Call Chuck my buddy, because
my name is Buck, Chuck writes. During Ford's testimony, the interviewer asked if she had seen Kavanaugh at parties after the incident. She said yes, and nothing more was said. That was an amazing fact that was totally missed by everyone. If she was so broken up over Kavanaugh, why did she attend parties where he was present? Why did she not flee? Why did she not talk Chuck? I find
her whole story very strange. Um. Not just the fact that there are these massive holes in it, um, but I find it's strange that she didn't tell anybody when she not just after the party. She didn't tell her best friend, the girl Leland, who she says was at the party. Leland says she doesn't remember this at all, but she didn't tell her friend that she had just been almost according to her story, uh, double person. I mean, I guess it's a gang raped, gang raped upstairs. She
didn't tell her friend, she just left. It doesn't she ran as she locked herself in a bathroom. They didn't come and pound on the door and tell her to come out or anything. They just let her stay in the back. It doesn't make sense when you when you run through her testimony and try to visualize this. Why would a guy just jump on top of another guy who's trying to hold her down. I mean what that doesn't sound like two guys who are trying to attempt
a gang rape. In fact, the second guy, in effect, Mark Judge, according to her allegation, uh stopped the assault from happening inadvertently, which given that there was the loud music and this all seems so coordinated, are we really to believe that the second guy was that clumsy in this criminal effort. I mean, it's just I don't I think she's I think she has a false memory. I
really do. I think she has a false memory. I think she might be a slightly disturbed person, and I think she has a false memory, which doesn't make her a bad person. It makes her person who needs help. The people around her, though, who have used her and weaponized her and all that they are bad people. That is where the real evil comes in. Assuming my theory is correct. She also just could be lying, in which case she is the heart of evil in this process.
But that's that's a that's a tougher one. I think it's harder for me to get to that place based on all this, uh, Brian writes, listening to the hearings in your analysis, is I keep going back to Ray Donovan's quote, which office do I go to get my reputation back? Totally true, Brian, And the answer is there's nowhere to go to get your reputation back. The answer is that what we learned from that whole fiasco is
that character assassination is a tool of the wicked. It is the ultimate cheap shot because once it's done, even if one's character has been proven to be unfairly be smirched, there's still that sense that you know it's uh, you're damaged, you're tainted by it all, um, Mike writes, this is hatcher from Indiana. That's what my friends called me. You are my friend now, just a hard working biker type no one cares about. Your voice actually got my attention,
made me listen and educated me. Literally turned me, literally turned me around. I'm a I'm a truck driver, just in their hard work in American when you opened my eyes. The Democratic Party BS only have literally one friend left in this world, and he's all about the Democratic Party BS. Even though it means I'm totally alone. I'll keep my shield high. Mike. Please do love you man, You're the best. Even with that big head. We'd be lost without you. Well, Mike,
thank you, sir. And the big head. Think of it as like a giant, wobbly beacon of freedom a team buck can follow. That's what a giant cranium is for. It is huge. People say that I say this on radio, and people see me and I can always tell. Sometimes they're like, Brandon, this actually happens. Let go while your head is really big. Yes, I've totally it's it's a noggin you've but you've got a pretty sizeable cranium too for your you know what I mean for your frame. Yeah,
there's that's You've got a dome. Dude, You've got a d o M. E legit. It's beautiful. It is a beautiful thing. Rick right shields high Buck. The other day you mentioned that you thought noise ordinances should be more strict. I think it's a slippery slope and goes right along with clothing police. Soon enough, they'll limit something that adversely affects you in a matter you find unnecessary. Also, I don't want to eat my food while smelling smoke from
someone's cigarette. And nanny state is in the answer. Let business practices dictate their own policies, and the free market will decide what is acceptable. I I will say, um that I admit that I am deviating from principal here,
and at least I'm honest about it. You know, when it comes to noise, when it comes to people, I sometimes I'm trying to sleep in night in d C. And all here is from the street from people's base in the car, and they'll sit there on the street, you know, for like an hour, it seems like, with the base blasting up through all the apartments and houses nearby, and I just yeah, I um, I don't like it. So even though even though I know it's not a
conservative position, I admit that I don't like it. This is where my inner, my inner progressive, comes out when it only comes to smoking bends. And dude, I have lots of you know, lots lots of smokers, lots of friends of my life with smoke. You know, I respect their right to do it, and that's fine. I just the moment that that smell interferes with my flag ras tasting, you know what I mean. I'm just kidding my barbecue tasting. I would never eat flag Gras sounds so silly and fancy.
Nathan writes zero evidence for ms Ford. She is the Rachel Dolazol of sexual assault. Well, Nathan, she doesn't have any evidence that is true. But that's not gonna stop the nastiness. Next week it's going to be wild Teams. Team. I'll be I'll be with you next week. I'll be traveling a bit, but i'll be uh popping up on the radar with the show as often as I can. And better strap in because next week is a wild one. Get some rest this weekend, recoup. I'm ready to come back.
