Speaker 1 (00:00):
M you are entering the freedom hunt. Are the Kobe
memos his interactions with Trump going to be shared publicly?
And what could that mean for sank to Komey himself.

(00:23):
Plus Muller has abused prosecutorial discretion so many times in
the past. What should that mean about how we judge
McKay the FBI's number two, and the charges that he
may in fact face. Also, the Starbucks arrestes have spoken out.
We've got more on that and update on the North
Korea talks. Stay with me. This is the buck Sexton Show,

(00:47):
where the mission or mission is to decode what really
matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American, You're a
great American Again the buck Sexton Show be end. No,
there has been no collusion. They won't find any collusion.

(01:09):
It doesn't exist. As far as the two gentlemen you
told me about, uh, they've been saying I'm going to
get rid of them for the last three months, four months,
five months, and uh, they're still here. So we want
to get the investigation over with, done with, put it
behind us. Welcome to the Bucks Actions Show, everybody. Great

(01:32):
to have you. I'm coming to you live from San Diego. California,
which I would say is sunny San Diego, but somehow
I brought the cold in the rain with me. Womp.
Trump is right. Trump is right. They are continuing this charade,
or charade if you want to sound really fancy of

(01:55):
caring about what the truth of the investigation into Russia
collusion is. What, as we know, it is just to
get Trump never Trump anti Trump operation in disguise. That's
what this is all about. They keep talking about whether
they should pass legislation to protect Rosenstein and Mueller, and

(02:15):
as Trump has putted out himself, they run this story
whenever it feels like there's a hole in their news cycle, right, CNN,
MSNBC and others. Oh yeah, let's just let's pretend that
the the firing of Rosenstein is imminent. That will get
people to tune in. Let's get everyone all riled up
that it's just, uh, any moment now, Mueller is gonna

(02:36):
get tossed. As I've said to you, I'm much more
open to the idea than a lot of other conservatives are.
I figure, you know, rip the band aid off and
don't think twice about it. But you know, there's some
word that the Senate may go around Mitch McConnell and
take action on this. And as I've said to you,
I think this causes problems just from a constitutional separation
of powers perspective. The Senate can't be passing laws that

(02:59):
says what the executive branch can do within the executive
branch about appointees and decisions. That that's that's a no
go as far as I can see. Uh. But more
to the point about the complaints around the imminent firing
of Rosenstein and Mueller, you'll notice that the media are
not very good at predicting things. They weren't good at

(03:22):
predicting the the onset of fascism in this country. That's
what they said was they said that was gonna happen.
There's gonna be fascism in America because of Trump. Nope,
that didn't happen at all. In fact, countries doing quite
well by all the ways we can measure it. Still
a lot of work to be done, no question, But

(03:43):
they're they're not good at predicting what's gonna happen. They
have been predicting Donald Trump's regimes demise, administrations demised for
quite some time. I don't think it's gonna happen. In fact,
that we're reports today that Rosenstein has told Trump that
he is not a part of any criminal investigation. Now,

(04:06):
unlike the other side, we can't make too much of that,
because it is true that you can go from being
not a part to a part of an investigation the
blink of an eye. And when you have a headhunter
out there like Mueller who is trying to just take
people and ruin them, right, who who is on a
quest for deep state vengeance against Trump and his team,

(04:28):
you can't take anything for granted. But it feels like
I'm actually not so bad at predictions. Those of you
who are listening to the show yesterday, remember that a
big theme what I started with was, you know, we
need to fight back, and the good people in this
country need to push those in positions of power, whether
appointed officials are elected officials who see things from the

(04:52):
same perspective as us, meaning that we believe in individual
rights and liberty and a free society and not some
kind of Democrat, single party state soft authoritarianism. Right. People
who don't they don't want that for the country need
to actually throw some punches. Not I don't mean literally

(05:15):
punch anyone, but they need to be fighting back, fight
fire with fire. And today sure as night follows day,
or is it as sure as day follows night, whichever
one of those things is the one you're supposed to say.
We have two instances of very deep swamp state dwellers

(05:38):
or wait, deep states. Actually, I kind of like the
way that came about deep state swamp dwellers or deep
state swamps deep swamp state dwellers, whichever one you prefer. Um,
they are on the hot seat. Now McCabe and Comy
may in fact get a little bit of justice that

(06:02):
they are going to be very unhappy with. Let's let's
take these, Uh, let's take these piece by piece. First
and foremost, you have the criminal referral within the Office
of the Inspector General of Remember of the McCabe situation. Now,
Andy McCabe was that guy who got fired. And I

(06:24):
remember when his firing happened. I was on TV. I
was talking about it over Fox and elsewhere, or I
guess just a Fox. They didn't want to hear what
I had to say about it at see ann no surprise,
not that I would go on anyway. Um, but when
he was fired, there was all these people in the
left saying, oh, it's terrible, how would they do this?
How would you fire McCabe? And then the Inspector General's

(06:46):
report came out and it's pretty clear, Yeah, you can
fire him because he was lying and leaking and those
are problems. Those are things that you're not supposed to
do when you are, uh, the number two at the FBI.
That's not the way it's supposed to work. So there
are real reasons for it. There are real reasons for
McCabe to get tossed. But then people start to ask

(07:07):
the other question here, which is, will hold on a second,
why is it if we are going to live in
a country where people like James Comey will be thank
to Comey so haughty about how people can't lie, you know,
in the process of investigations or to to federal government officials,

(07:32):
you can't lie. Well, shouldn't that apply even more so
to those empowered by the federal government than it does
to the average citizen. If the people that are given
the authority to show up at your home with guns
and you are not allowed to defend yourself, you are
required to just go with them when they say go,

(07:53):
and they can put you in a cell, and they
can do all of that because they claim that you
have had something untrue, even if you've committed no other crime.
If those people lie, shouldn't we have an even higher
expectation that they will be punished. Shouldn't we demand that
they have to live by the same regime, the same

(08:15):
rules that they enforced against all of us. And oh, yes,
that's right, Trump and Manafort and Flynn and the whole crew.
That guy Spurgan Skimmergan from the Netherlands who got like
thirty days in jail, Smurgan, I forget his name. Uh

(08:36):
he's Dutch. So I think that's normal that we would
expect that. In fact, I think it's more than just
okay for us to think that way. We have to
think that way. And why I was saying yesterday we
have to fight fire with fire, And I really came
in the show and I was just I was pumped
up about this because I go back. I keep doing
this in my head. I cycle through all the cases

(08:57):
the big political corruption case is and the cases where
there was a huge political outcome that turned on prosecutorial discretion,
And what do you see immediately when you just I'm
telling you. As an exercise, do this yourself. Think about
a major political corruption case where the Democrats wanted one
outcome and the Republicans wanted another, whatever it may be,

(09:20):
and somehow every time it goes against the Republicans, and
there's nothing equivalent on the Democrats side that I can
think of, And I can think of a whole bunch
of ones at the top of my head of the
Republicans Scooter Livery case, Republican got completely post completely ted

(09:40):
Stevens case, Republican hosed investigations never just even prosecutions, investigations
of big political figures. How many times do you know
of where a Democrat was investigated based on flimsy to
no evidence and either hounded out of office or forced
to lose an election because of a criminal investigation that

(10:02):
went nowhere. Because I could think of a whole bunch
of times has happened to Republicans. Right, Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin,
they were trying to get him. You had a rogue
prosecutor up there in the state of Wisconsin, a state
prosecutor who was going after the governor. Locked a woman
up in prison because she made a phone call. And

(10:22):
I remember I covered the case. This was years ago
where everyone forgets about what happened Wisconsin now, but the
Left was they were going all in, throwing the dirtiest
stuff they could at Walker and his people. They locked
a woman up because she took a phone call in
a government building when she was supposed to be outside
of government building. It was a disgrace, and it was
a complete, complete backing all of prosecutorial misconduct, and it

(10:48):
was just grotesque, and yed Rick Perry faced their criminal
investigation with the threat of a criminal investigation when he
was a governor. Chris Christie any charges there Bridge Gate, though,
which I remember Rachel matt Out, who thinks of herself
as a very erudite person on the I think it
was a Bill Marshall saying was the most delicious political

(11:09):
scandal of her lifetime. So she's either really wildly disingenuous
or just not nearly in the universe of as smart
as she thinks she is in her audience thing she is.
It's one or the other. Because that was a boring
political story and Chris Kristy didn't do anything wrong, and
that not that I'm some big Christie fan. I don't
like the thing where he showed up on the beach
when it was closed. Everybody else, I'm just gonna say
that he forget about it. But oh, Governor Bob McDonald

(11:33):
another one. Supreme Court had to slap down those federal
prosecutors and this, folks, I don't even have notes in
front of me for this. I'm just rattling this off
the top of my head. And then you look at
the other side, Hillary Clinton, anything there, Oh, no no charges,
no charges. Absolutely violated criminal statutes in the handling classified
information and the destruction of evidence, by the way, and

(11:56):
I'm sure if they had tried to actually write down
what they were saying or cord them, they would have
gotten Huma and Cheryl Mills and Hillary lying and lying
and lying. I don't recall the answer to that one.
Something is really rotten and wrong. And yes, there is
a cabal. There is a Mulley, mull Mueller, Comy McCabe cabal.

(12:22):
There is there are these people that are involved in
these very high profile investigations that have come down on
on this issue in a way that is obviously partisan
time and again, and we need to put a stop
to this. And I used to think that maybe we
could convince them to stop abusing their power if we
just spoke up about it. But now I'm convinced. And

(12:43):
this is where I get back to yesterday and today,
fight fire with fire. McCabe bled The o i G.
Makes it clear, The Inspector General, the FBI makes it
plain and simple. McCabe's a liar lie to federal investigators
about matters that affect the United States government, affect the presidency.
He's gotta face, he's got to pay the piper. He's
got to face the full weight of the law the

(13:03):
same way time and again in his career. He has
done that to others. He has jammed up people for
far less. And if he has a problem with this,
if he thinks that he's allowed to lie, whereas the
rest of us can't. Just take a look back at
what Comey says in his book about how proud he
is of the Martha Stewart prosecution. Again, I'm not some
big Martha Stewart fan, but come on, she does make

(13:27):
the best pheasants scented cinnamon sticks, which she matches to
all of the drapes in the house. But really, it's
time that we hold these people accountable. And the only
way we can do that is to make sure that
they suffer the same consequences that they would enforce, but
all the rest of us. So when the i G

(13:47):
has now, as the i G has now turned over
McCabe to the U S Attorney for possible criminal charges,
they better have a darn good reason why they don't
charge him, and it better not be we're just exercising
our discretion in his behalf. Enough of that. We know
that discretion is a one way street these days when
it comes to high profile federal cases and the Conservatives

(14:09):
get hosed, that's enough. No more of that. And Democrats
get to get out of jail free card speaking to
get out of jail free cards, and Democrats and all
the rest of it. It's not just McKay who's in
some hot water today. Call me, well, he's on his
book tour. He's talking a lot, you know, call me
forgot something very important. It's probably forgotten a lot of

(14:29):
things that are very important, like don't be a huge weirdo.
But when you are even possibly going to be under
suspicion for anything, don't talk a lot. As I always
tell you. And this is free legal advice. For me
to you, if you ever, ever ever are arrested, say nothing,
not officer, I'm sure I'm innocent. Not Hey, can I

(14:50):
get a donut? Hey? Do you want a donut? They
won't like that you say nothing. Comey has been saying
a lot Comy. He has made it very easy for
someone us to say, hold on a second, based on
some of your public statements, show you've got some You've
got some explaining to do, and we're gonna find out
some stuff now that could lead to a criminal referral

(15:12):
about James Comey as well? Oh what am I talking about?
What is this delicious teas that I have thrown out there?
Stay with me, We'll be right back. Not everybody loves Comy,

(15:37):
despite what he seems to think, the entirety of America
has not round like, Oh, come me is the man
we've been waiting for. That is not the case. Call
me got heckled actually at a book signing, and you
did not look. Anyone can get heckled. But am I
going to enjoy the audio we have of Comy getting

(15:58):
heckled in particular? Yes? I am, because why not? It's
my freedom hunt and I'll do with it what I
want how is it ethical to brief the president of
the United States on an unverifiable and salacious dossier, And
how is it ethical leadership to not tell him that
his political opposition, Hillary Clinton, paid for that. You are
not an ethical leader. You're gonna get prosecuted, Comy, You're

(16:22):
gonna get locked up. Now, you might think that that
that lady sounds a little bit like she could use
a nap or something, that she's a little little little tense.
But maybe she's right about Coby. Maybe uh, maybe com me'
is in some trouble. Before I get to that, though,

(16:43):
I'm gonna I'm gonna keep you on the cliffhanger with
this one before I get to that. Her allegation about
how you know, he briefed a in unverified dossie. I
gotta tell you if I had ever tried that, I
can just tell you this. If when I was a
little CI analyst, you know, way way down the ORG chart,
and I had said, Hey, you know what we should do.

(17:04):
We should tell the president about this piece of total
garbage oppo research, just so he knows it's out there.
People would have been like, we're going to escort you
out now, and you're not allowed back. But calmly thought
this was a good idea. Comby doesn't have any good
answers as to why he thought it was a good idea.
But play a teen. In January two seventeen, when you

(17:25):
met with President Trump and you did that oral presentation
of what's in the two page memo summarizing the Steel Dossier,
we know from the book that you talked about these
unverified allegations involving him in prostitutes. Um, did you did
you brief him about any any of the other things
in the Steel Dossier claims that his associates Michael Colin
or Paul Manafort were potentially working with the Russians? Or

(17:48):
was it only about the prostitute? Was only about the
salacious part of it? Why? Why only about that? Because
that was the part that the leaders of the intelligence
community agreed he needed to be told about because we
knew it and thought it was about to become public,
and if it was true, we didn't whether it was true.
It would be important to let him know this as

(18:08):
part of a defensive briefing. No, no, no, By the way,
the leaders of the intel community, you mean, like Clapper
and Brennan who are rapidly anti Trump, I mean hate Trump.
They wanted him to know. I think they were trolling him.
I think they were extending a particular finger in Trump's direction.

(18:31):
I do not think they were trying to do the
president United States of solid and I do not think
that they were respecting the power of the offices. They
held that to the topic intel positions, and also I
think they wanted to get it into the official record.
But let's talk about Comy's official record coming up. He's

(18:57):
holding the line for America. But Sexton is back. The
Justice Department is also expected today to begin the process
of letting Congress see your memos detailing your interactions with
President Trump. Is that the right decision to let Congress
see them? I don't know, because I don't know what
considerations the Department has taken into account. It's fine by

(19:18):
me if you don't care. I don't care. I don't
have any I don't have any views on it. I'm
totally fine with transparency. I've tried to be transparent throughout this,
and I think what folks will see if they get
to see the memos is I've been consistent since the
very beginning, right after my encounters with President Trump, and
I'm consistent in the book and try to be transparent
in the book as well. Now, Comy's memos might be

(19:44):
gonna be shared with Congress, but they also, um, they
also may make their way beyond just that. Comy's memos,
if they get seen by the public, would be quite interesting.
I think here's what's going on. We've heard from at
least I think it was Chuck Grassley that there was

(20:07):
classified information there, and now reporting from seeing that and
others is that the memos are going to be made public.
Here's meaning. So it's one thing for Congress to see them,
but then they may be made public beyond that, And
this is how it's gonna go down. Um, they can't

(20:27):
redact what is in the memos for classified reasons, because
then there's absolutely no question Comey would have lead classified
information to the media right after leaving the FBI, and
he's gonna be facing charges unless he gets the full
Hillary treatment, and all of a sudden, the law is

(20:48):
and the law anymore. But I don't know if Comy
can count on someone else to pull a Comy for
him the way he did for Hillary. I don't know.
He might be in some trouble so they can't redact
the information when I think it's more likely, you know,
so that you're not gonna get memos released with black outlines,
because that's gonna be us. You're saying, call me release classified.

(21:09):
That's not gonna happen. If they released them publicly, though, um,
then it would be a question of, well, is this
information that could be even considered at the lowest level
of classification. For example, is a meeting with the president,
between the FBI director or with the FBI director just

(21:30):
that discusses anything of substance considered classified information? The answer
is yes. So if the FBI director Comey sat down
with Trump and all they talked about was uh, you know, hey,
like you know, if it was Hilary yoga and whangs.
But you know, if they all that, he was talking

(21:52):
about stuff that no one really cares about. Okay, fun,
you know, if it's hey, you know, Jim, just want
to know that you're on board with the new administration
and be come over to the residents and have you know,
dinner with me and Milania. Okay, yeah, that's not classified, right,
I'm not trying to be dishonest about this. And I'm
not trying to be sancta comus. You like that, right,

(22:12):
I'm having fun with it now. But if there's any
substantive information in there, a conversation that deals with even
policy issues in a with any specificity between the FBI
director and the President could very well be In fact,
I would think in most cases would be considered classified

(22:33):
information at least at the level of confidential, right, lowest
level of classification. Uh So what would that mean, folks?
If they release information that's borderline could be classified, but
they're gonna say it's not classified. A lot of us
are gonna say, so the fixes it once again, right
because they know that they can't. They can't release stuff

(22:55):
that is redacted. And I think that there's a very
a good chance that we'll see this causes this causes
some issues one way or another. Um, if the Comy
memos are made public, then we will see first of all,
what Comy was trying to construct as a narrative. Keep on,
this is just his handwritten, so you're not gonna find

(23:15):
anything bad about Comey in this. This is a one
sided record. One of the reasons I would note, and
this is an important aside, This is your free It's
not really legal advice because I'm not a lawyer, so
I don't don't I'm not actually giving legal advice, but
you know your your free bit of legal wisdom. Uh do?
You never want to sit down and allow and people
will argue with me on this, and that's fine. You

(23:35):
want an actual recording of a conversation that you would
have and by what, by the way, how am I
wrong here? Already? Don't talk to the FBI. You don't
have a lawyer, don't talk to the FBI. That's it.
There's there's not a like a maybe a sort of
a kind of don't talk to the FBI because I
know all the people listen to this show. If you
ever had to talk to the FBI and er bad circumstances,

(23:57):
it would be you know, for like a minor thing,
you know what I mean. If you're if if they're
if there's like the lone ax murder who's listening to
this show somewhere, you should talk to the FBI, sir.
You you talk to them a lot. But for the
rest of you, I don't want you getting jammed up
on something small or even like getting Scooter libbied. Now,
granted he had lawyers and everything else, but they were
going after him, so you could be a h And

(24:18):
that's why I'm telling you don't talk to the FBI.
But also if you are going to talk to them,
don't allow for it to just be a record based
on their recollections written down, because they will use that
in court and that will be the only record. You want,
an actual recording of the conversation, so there can be
no doubt about not just the specific words, but tone intention.

(24:40):
You know, look at all the process crimes, Look at
the way they go after people and what they go
after them for mine or stuff. When was the last
time you spoke to so and so. Oh you said
it was September, It was actually August. Guilty go to prison.
So with Comy, the memos are going to be a
one sided commy ist dar I even say, revision of

(25:03):
whatever the conversation was. So keep that in mind, um,
and I'm sure you'll see. You know, Comey reminds me
one of these guys who I think it's Dwight Shrewd
in office Space, who like writes himself in as the
hero in his own you know, his own novels or
books am I right, John, Oh, I'm sorry. The office.

(25:24):
That's what I meant. Yeah, Dwight shrud in the office.
I know, I got office space in the mind in
the office. You know, he's the hero of his own
his own screenplays or novels or whatever. You know, other
people have done that. Uh, that's what Comey is. He's
like the the one great honest man in America who's
just trying to bring truth and justice for all uh
and making a lot of money by going around trashing

(25:45):
and sitting president doing it and playing dirty. There's no question.
And what he did was really unethical to use his
position as FBI director to wage a partisan war, to
engage in his own little petty vendetta and use a
cutout in the process and get the New York Times.

(26:06):
And I'm not the only one the things that's gross. Well,
there's obviously the DIRSH. We'll get to the DIRSH in
a second. It's up Dirsh. But there's also Jonathan Turley,
the constitutional law professor. He talked about this play clip seven.
I think that many career people at the at the
Justice Department must really find this quite repulsive that the

(26:27):
very notion of an former FBI director writing a tell
all book, uh is a virtual contradiction in terms. You know,
FBI directors have valued their circumspection. You know, they need
to have presidents trust them, and Comey has just has
really destroyed that. The fact that he rushed this book

(26:49):
out is inexcusable. He was the head of this investigation
and is now one of the cooperating witnesses. Nobody would
suggest that this book is benefiting the investigation. To the contrary,
he's undermining his role as a witness. And so the
question is why is he doing it? And the answers
where they're obvious. He's gonna make a lot of money,

(27:10):
but in the process he's gonna do untold harm to
the institution he once headed. You'll remember, of course, we've
been told all along that Trump is the one doing
damage to institutions. Meanwhile, how could after this Donald Trump
unless he had a you know, I think he trust Pompey, right,

(27:31):
there are other people, but how could he trust anybody
who was a holdover from the Obama administration at a
senior level. He'd be foolish too. And how could any
incoming president think that the FBI director that he or
she inherited would be not possibly a political liability. This
does absolutely undermine the confidence And by the way, on

(27:54):
my point about the discussions had between a president and
a and a cabinet level official or were with the
FBI director. One of the reasons that information, Yeah, it's
tough that you don't want your enemies to know about,
so you have to classify it, so it's protected. But
it all seems to be classified because it's protected within
the government. If the president can have a candid discussion

(28:18):
with the attorney general or the heavy FBI, it impairs
his ability to function as effectively as he could otherwise.
So commies doing real damage here. Oh yeah, and he's
also weighing in on an ongoing investigation with a book
and countless interviews after leaking information. You know, there are

(28:42):
all these people who were so and I had a
few ye I don't know if we call them conservatives anymore,
but I had a few right of center friends. We're saying, Buck,
you know, I've I've heard you say deep state before.
You you can't use that term. And then I have
to smack them around a little bit gently because they're
you know, people that I'm I'm friendly with say, look,
first of all, I actually to know the derivation of
deep state and can tell you the history of it.
If you want to talk about all the coups in

(29:03):
Turkey in the twentieth century, I can do that. You know,
let's let's let's put that aside for a moment. Unlike
the other people running around. Actually, it can get into
this at a level that I don't think. I don't
think you want to go there. But also, what are
we to call this when you have a cabal, when
you have a group of politically energized and dedicated opponents

(29:26):
of the current administration using high office to try to
bring down a president? What is that if not some
form of deep state. I'm not saying the deep state
is the entire federal government. Was saying there is a
deep state within the federal government. I think that's fair.
And we see more and more evidence of it all
the time. You know, when you start to look at

(29:46):
this and line it all up, Uh yeah, let's understand
that they're really destroying these institutions that they are pretending
Donald Trump is destroying. Saw this, uh this tweet. I
think it's from Chuck Ross over the Daily Caller. Worth
a reminder. McCabe, who was fired over a lack of

(30:09):
candor and is now referred for investigation, sent Peter Struck,
who was demoted from Muller's team, to interview Michael Flynn,
who was charged with lyne to the FBI. I mean,
this stuff is a mess and it's just gonna get messier.
And the more truth we find out, the more we realize, Yeah,

(30:29):
no collusion, that's been true along. Trump is right, but
the other side they have gone into the darkness because
of their anti trump mania and McCabe and Comey, one
of them, as we say in the NYPD, one one's
gonna get jammed up. It's gonna get jammed up. It's
gonna happen. I'm not sure which one, maybe both, maybe

(30:50):
get a TUFA, but someone's getting jammed eight four four
night to five. If you want to chat my friends
eight four four nine Buck, you're back in just a second.

(31:16):
Lines are lits team, So let's get into it. We've
got Jake in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Hey, Jake, I don't
hear Jake. Yes, I'm right here there you are, sir,
what's up? Well? I heard you speaking about the reasons

(31:37):
for uh, Tolly talking about the jossier with Trump, and
I kind of think of it this way. I think
because of everything that was going on that he was
involved with that Tomy was involved with that, he was
very unstable and insecure about it himself and his position.

(31:58):
And I think in the meeting that he had before
this with Trump, Trump kind of dim was dismissing with him,
and so uh he even said in the interview that
he had this Panopolis that uh when he did this,
and Stephanopolis asked him why he did it, and he
said something about, well, I wanted to show him that

(32:20):
he needed to have those daily briefs. And I think
the reason he wanted Trump to have those daily briefings
is because he needed to have time with Trump so
he could kiss up to him, so he could ensure
that he would stay as FBR director. Well, you know, Jake,
I think you've hit on something that's that's important, and
that is that Comey would have been perfectly happy to

(32:43):
work with Trump, work for Trump as FBI director if
he could stay FBI director. Right, He's kind of Comy
is is a scorned man. He's not a a guy
who uh you know, he poses as a martyr, but
he's really like a scorned individual who feels like he
was done wrong by the presidents and now he wants

(33:03):
his revenge. And that's where I that's where I think, Uh, well,
you know a lot of people, by the way, I've
noticed the really the the childishness and the nastiness of
some of Comy's commentary about Trump. But I do think
you're right, uh, that he wanted face time with him.
He want to face some of the president. I can
tell you, and thank you for calling in, Jake. I
can tell you from my own time and government that uh,

(33:25):
and and I had some FaceTime with with a previous
president during briefings that man, when you're in the federal bureaucracy,
time with Potus FRESI United States, there's uh, there's nothing
else that gets most folks as excited as that. Professionally speaking,
they really want to get in front of the the
guy who's the guy, or one day maybe the gal

(33:46):
who's calling the shots. Butch in Winston Sale, North Carolina, Hey, Butch,
how are you, Buck? I'm good, Thank you for your call,
thank you for what you do and trying to get
the truth out there. My community. Is that a lot
of these people. There's only two words used in our
constitution against people who are trying to overthrow and take

(34:11):
over our government. And one of those words is treason,
which everybody knows, but very few people understand the meaning
of the word sedition. And I recommend they looked that
word up and look at the definition. That fits a
lot of people, uh, trying to go against our government,
against our president, uh, in a lot of cases, including

(34:33):
somebody like George Soros. You know. So I think if
they're not guilty of treason, they could easily be brought
to bear for sedition. But you rarely hear that word
used anymore, but it is sedition is encouraging others to
basically turn against state authority. Right, So that's Uh. There's

(34:53):
the Alien and Sedition Acts of I think eighteen o two,
which we could talk about another time, but they were
quite unconstitutional at the time. We actually have a long
history in this country of truncating free speech when it
annoys the federal government. Enough, we think we're the free
speech country, but we barely are. Um. But thank you
very much for calling in. Butch I do appreciate it,
and uh, you know, That's where you do run into, Uh,

(35:16):
you do run into the realities of people being in
very senior government roles who are advocating for a really
disruption of the government. You know, they want impeachment, removal
of the present, all the rest of it. Uh. Carl
in Lafayette, West Lafayette, Indiana. Hey Carl, Hey buck Uh.
I sent your message on Facebook. I don't know if

(35:37):
you got it about the the Swiss lab that it's
confirming that it was not actually Nova Chok used in
the assassination at Chimp, and that was it was a toxin.
It's called something BZ toxins. And the whole point is
if that wasn't Nova Chok, and we got a whole
different situation on our hands. Well, I gotta look at

(35:59):
this up. But I haven't said. I will go through
more of the Facebook obviously the end of the show
during roll call and also tonight when I when I
get home. Um, but I'll take a look at this piece.
I can't speak to it because I haven't read it,
and I would want to see. I mean, my first
impulse is who's the source on this one? You know,
who's in charge of putting that forward? But we will.
I'll keep an eye out and I appreciate you raising
it to my attention. Thank you very much, sir. He's

(36:34):
back with you now, because when it comes to the
fight for truth, the fuck never stops. Welcome back to
the Buck Sexton Show. Our two is here. We've been
discussing a lot about Kobe and McCabe and how they
could be in some hot water and it might be
might be justice in fact that they are going to

(36:56):
be subject to. But I wanted to follow up on
our start books story. In fact, earlier today, I was
in a Starbucks because I'm on the road and I
was thinking about it. The second most populists or not
a popular, most numerous there you go. I think it's
the second most numerous franchise in the country. Now eight thousand.

(37:19):
I might be making up that. I know it's eight
thousand stores. Don't quote me on the second most populous.
That's probably wrong, although there are Starbucks everywhere. But this
story is continuing on as I knew it would. The
social justice warriors have leaned into it all the way
and MSNBC has gone into full uh racial teaching mode. Right.

(37:40):
They want to they want to have a teaching moment,
a teachable moment for the country based on this, and
in order to do that, it has to be about
not just this incident, not just Starbucks, but you guessed it,
systemic racism in general, or as it's called now, unconscious bias.
I think it's interesting they used the term unconscio is biased,

(38:00):
I think because it's less offensive to some people who have,
you know, who are of goodwill on this or well intentioned.
If you tell someone that you need unconscious bias training,
they may say, yeah, okay, I think I need that.
If you tell someone that you need to learn to
not be a racist, they hopefully will say, I'm not
a racist, though, so what are you doing right? So

(38:22):
there's reasons why they call these things what they call them.
But you had Dante Robinson and Rashawn Nelson who have
spoken out. Now they are the two individuals from the
Philadelphia Starbucks incident. They have spoken out. We have a
clip from them. I want to make sure that this

(38:44):
situation doesn't happen again. So what I want is for
a young man or young men to not be traumatized
by this and instead motivated, inspired, And what do you
want Rashan so you know, take this opportunity as as
a stepping stone, you know, to really stand up and

(39:07):
you know, show your greatness and that you are not
judged by the color of skin as our ancestors where
or anyone else. Just really taking those actions and putting
them in a place and you know, help people understand
that it's not just a black people thing. This is
a people thing and that's exactly what we want to
see out of this and that's true change. So put

(39:27):
action into place and stop using your words. Now it's
your gentlemen, not are you know, saying very sensible things?
And uh, you know, I can't I can't fault the
messaging now. Um, I think that you know that they're
speaking out and they feel very passionate about the subject,
and that's all fine. I just would like some answers

(39:48):
to some some questions, though, if not from them, from
some others about exactly what happened here. For example, why
is it now that the Philadelphia Police commission nor has
completely reversed himself and is backing backing off of supporting
the cops in this incident. And the chain of events

(40:12):
here was you have two black eyes in a Starbucks
they're there for a meeting, they won't buy anything. They're
asked to buy something, they say they're not going to
buy anything. And then the police are called within a
couple of minutes of them being there, and we I
think we haven't heard anything from the end producer, Mike,
let me know if this this is off base. I

(40:33):
don't think we've heard anything from the store manager. Still,
the police arrived, and I did see reports that these two,
these two gentlemen, uh, these two uh black men who
were at the Starbucks, refused to leave when they were
told to leave by the cops, and then the cops
put the cups on them. And as far as I

(40:53):
can tell, that's completely legitimate behavior from the police's perspective. Right,
if you if you're in, if you're on private property,
you won't leave, you get arrested, you know. Otherwise the
whole notion of private property kind of starts to fade
away real fast. But initially the police. You can't tell
me that the commissioner didn't know the facts of the case.

(41:13):
Come on, right, big national story and didn't happen, right,
He was backing them up until yesterday. Why switch? Why
the the change? Um? You have the commissioner. I'm trying
to grab his name here is I'm going and just
say that that as Starbucks store manager, they said it's
no longer with the company. But you're right, Yeah, we
haven't heard from him at all. Yeah, So so we

(41:34):
know that the manager's gone, but we don't get to
here from the manager. Do we know anything about the manager?
As far as I understand, nothing? Uh? And I also,
like I said, I would want to know why the
police commissioner, many days after the incident, is saying I
backed my office is and then is completely changing his
tune and saying that he quote made the situation worse.

(41:58):
The police commissioner is African American by the way, I'm
trying to find his name here, but made the situation worse, um,
by backing the cops. So I would like to know.
And by the way, Mike, why don't we grab that
if we have the audio of the commissioner speaking, I'd
like to just just play that on an air for
the for the record. Um, what did he find out

(42:20):
that was new? What did he get going that was
or what what did he come upon that was different
from what he knew yesterday? Is it possible that the
commissioner feels a bit of political pressure here to change
what he said. And what does that mean for those
those officers who made the arrest. Are they gonna be
sacrificed in this whole effort to be on the right

(42:42):
side of this politically charged issue. I don't want to
know some stuff. Also would like to know. This is Starbucks,
I'm assuming and Mike told me Richard Ross is the
name of the police commissioner in Philadelphia. And also producer
Mark said it was almost fourteen thousand Starbucks stores in
the US. I thought it was eight thousand Samson night,

(43:02):
I was way off. Um, So I would like to
know is there a video this is Remember it's been
a few days here and then they look no. Also,
let's keep in mind, it's not the police are overwhelmed. Okay,
they're they're not. You know, they're not combing through the
wreckage after an explosion. You know, a couple of guys
were asked to leave. It seems like people have very

(43:25):
real concerns that there was some racial bias involved, and
we'd like to just know what happened. But I would
like additional information, and I think, uh, one of the
things we want to know is isn't there a video camera?
Do we do? We get the so so we don't
get to hear the cop side of the story. The
police commissioner changes his side of the story, we don't

(43:45):
hear from the store manager in question, and we don't
seem to be shown. We only were only showing the
the social media video which the people that were claiming
there was racism. We're the ones who posted I would
like to know what the store video shows. Is everything
exactly as described by those who are claiming a bias here?

(44:05):
Uh so this is this is not gonna Like I said,
it's not gonna go anytime soon. By It's gonna cost
Starbucks a lot of money. It's not gonna be cheap
to shut down all of their many thousands of stores
for a day to do unconscious bias training. Um. And
I'm telling you it's just a matter. This now sets
a precedent that when there's a company that is not

(44:26):
as woke friendly as Starbucks, that has even the mere
allegation of any kind of racial bias or impropriety, the
entire social justice machinery and activists and everything else will
just they will make the place crumble. I mean they
will go after it with everything they've got. Um and uh,

(44:48):
one more thing before I switch out the topics here. Oh,
and I can't switch up. Yesterday we had the guy
whose video is going kind of viral who went into
the stores. I've got to follow up for you on that.
But one other thing I can't help but notice and
now I'm really tying together our conversation from the last hour.
What we're talking about now, isn't it funny to you?

(45:09):
And I don't mean funny like ha ha, I mean
funny like that when the press reports on local law enforcement,
they don't get the benefit of the doubt. Right, Cops,
constables on patrol do not get the benefit of the doubt.
They are uh often covered by the press in any

(45:34):
incident that's newsworthy. Police in general are going to be
treated as uh systemically, if not racist, at least racially insensitive.
And the the you know part of the school the
prison pipeline problem, and there there's just a lot of
and when there's a cop said versus purp said, as
that's what the cops would call it, per per perpetrator.

(45:55):
When there's a cops said purp said situation. We know
that the mainstream media always sides with the purp right
or or this, because the the the would be perp
would be what you could say if you don't believe
the person is even a perpetrator, but or the alleged
purp um. When it comes to the FBI, there can

(46:16):
be no criticism. The FBI is beyond approach, especially FBI
senior leadership, which has to be praised constantly and defended vociferously.
It seems weird, right because actually federal law enforcement is
much more likely to be politically abusive. Federal law enforcement
has all kinds of authorities and and resources that local

(46:40):
law enforcement do not, so you would think that they'd
be even more on the watch for the abuse. And
I'm not saying that federalaw enforcement is good or bad
in this area. I'm just saying their watchdogs, the meteor
watchdogs against local cops, state police, they're they're always on
the lookout for what they're doing. But the FBI all
of a sudden, all of a sudden, the FBI is uh,

(47:03):
they hollowed institution that is beyond suspicion or approach. I
think that's what you I think that's a little convenient.
I think there's some clues here they'll make us think
that perhaps there's a there's an agenda behind that and
the wagon circling around McCabe at Comy and and then
also outside of that, in the I C. Brennan and
uh Clapper and Yates and Strock and all these people

(47:28):
interesting that they're willing to put aside all their concerns
about abuse of federal government power and police power and
the disparities between class and race and culture as to
how the federal government deals with them. And that's all gone.
FBI good, local cops not so good. That's the way
that that's where the media treats it. I'm always like, hmm,
I think we should give that a little more attention,

(47:50):
because it's not because they love the FBI so much. Folks,
Uh eight four or four to five lines open, stay
with me. Discus the unfortunate incident that has been in

(48:13):
the news about this great city, um an incident that
I fully acknowledge that I played a significant role in
making them worse. For starters, I should have said the
officers acted within the scope of the law, and not
they did did they didn't do anything wrong. Words are
very important. While it is no excuse, my lack of

(48:37):
awareness of the Starbucks business model played a role in
my message. So what I'm confused here? That's the police
commissioner in Philadelphia was backing up his officers in the
Starbucks incident. Now he's saying they acted within the scope
of the law, but it was still a problem. Um,
I mean over active within the scope of their duties.

(48:59):
So okay, what what's the issue then, and why isn't
he explaining what they did wrong or how they were
wrong if they acted within the scope of the law.
Also note that he's taking personal responsibility for making it worse.
I think this is just you know, look, the the
woke activists out there have become very powerful and they

(49:22):
but they woke is now that you've heard me saying
in a lot Just in case you're wondering, it's the
It's the term for being socially conscious as a social
justice warrior. Basically. I think that's a good working definition
of it. But I look, I can tell you this,
I wouldn't want to be those two officers. You got
your commissioner saying that, yeah, what they did was technically okay,
but it was really bad. No, that's not how this

(49:44):
is supposed to work. Uh. By the way, I mentioned
yesterday where we actually played the audio for you of
this guy demanding free coffee. Just in case you forgot
play Levin, I heard you guys don't like black people,
so I wanted to get my Starbucks operations I give
to you. Yeah, I saw that on my Twitter last night.

(50:06):
I was like, yeah, I need I need a free cloth.
That's what I'm talking about. This is justice. I'm like,
we couldn't authenticate this, and it seemed, uh, you know,
it looked like he might just be doing and it
turned out it was a stunt. It is a stunt.
So I don't want to just let this, let this lie.
I wanted to actually come back to it. This guy

(50:27):
was intentionally trolling Starbucks, if you will, And he explained
his name is Brian Sharp. Um, here's what he had. Now,
He's upright. He was doing it for effect, right, It wasn't.
It's not that he thought that this was really a campaign,
that he was demanding reparations for coffee or anything like that.
He was just trying to show how people can use
these situations for their own benefit. But I'll let him

(50:49):
speak for himself. Play clip twelve. I am sick and
tired of liberals using black people and making us look
like victims, making us look off with their liberal dogma.
It is disgusting. The other thing I hate about the
liberals is if you're a black man, as I am

(51:10):
in America, they will not hand you a microphone unless
you follow the liberal narrative. And I said, you know what,
I bet if I go into Starbucks and I follow
a liberal narrative, I'll make the news. And while I
here I am Indeed, he made the news and he's

(51:31):
here on the show. Um, that's what calls I want
to take here David and Allentown, Pennsylvania. Hey David, how's
it going. It's good, Thanks for your call. I had
a speculation that the reason why you haven't heard anything
about the manager at the Starbucks is maybe the manager

(51:53):
as the of the same national origin of the two gentlemen.
That's positive, certainly, that's what. By the way, I don't
expect that somebody in this situation would like come out
and address the press or something. But we, as far
as I understand it, we know very little. I haven't
really seen any reporting on even who the manager was
or or anything about him. I don't even know are

(52:14):
we assuming? Do we know if he's male producer Mike,
I can't remember. I know the other one was female,
she's in the video. But so as you're saying, David,
that that would affect it because you know, because it's
people aren't racist against their own race, I'll just tell
you that they they'll say, because this comes up with
police racism. They'll say that even for example, a black

(52:36):
or Latino police officer who engages with minorities as an
officer in certain ways can be imposing unconscious bias because
they're in a position of authority and a structure that
is created to oppress non white minorities, right, I mean
this is I obviously do a lot of reading about
how the or I'm very familiar with how the the

(52:57):
left frames these these issues used. But so that wouldn't
necessarily be a game changer for the narrative. But I
do have my questions about why is that we don't
know more about this, and there's certainly more information that
could be brought to bear. I appreciate you calling in, David,
Thank you very much for that, Um, and uh yeah,
I I this is uh. I have a feeling we're

(53:19):
not going to get complete answers here anytime soon. And
Starbucks is using us as a as a teachable moment
and it's going to be literally teaching its own employees.
I guess how to deal with these situations. I would
also note that it was fun to read some of
these pieces that were out there about how uh you know,
and people were saying it to on social media. Well,

(53:40):
you know, it's not really clear that you have to,
you know, because of restaurants for customers only. It's not
a real thing. Um, well, it is a real thing.
It's a real thing, and we all know it is, right.
So why am I reading think pieces? Not that there's
much thinking going on in them in USA today or
other places. I think I saw him in USA today.

(54:01):
I've seen a few of these articles were like, as
does Starbucks really require a purchase to sit there? And
I mean, I can tell you this my you know,
unless I get some other permission. My assumption is that
if I'm gonna be using the facilities for a public
accommodation like a restaurant or a cafe or whatever, I
always acting on the assumption that, yeah, that's right. They're
running a business, and you know, if you can't pay

(54:26):
for some reason, let's say I lost my wallet or
how many money on me or something, you know, maybe
i'd ask management. But if management said no, I wouldn't
have some big problem with it, because I understand right
they they're running a business, and yeah, I don't even
have to sit down and talk about it this way.
But you know they're buying paper, towel and toilet paper,
and you know that there's there's stuff that goes into it. Right,

(54:46):
So the Starbucks thing is something we're gonna have to
keep falling because it's gonna gonna be staying around for
a bit. Uh. We've got some updates on the case
into the musician Princes overdose from opioids, and I wanted
to talk to you a bit about that case. I
was reading up on it today. So what happened to
Prince we will discuss. He's holding the line for America,

(55:22):
Buck Sexton his back. Prince the musician died of a
drug overdose in today. We have the final decision of
the authorities not to file any criminal charges against anyone,

(55:43):
despite all the speculation and the fact that you know,
they know what the drug was that he had, and
everything else that was going on around it. A doctor,
Michael Schulenberg, who had been treating Prince right before his death,
has agreed to a thirty thousand dollar federal civil violation
for an illegal prescription, but he admits no liability as

(56:07):
part of the settlement and will not um and he
has said along that he never gave someone prescription drugs
with the idea that they would be rerouted to Prince.
I'm just realizing that I actually don't know Princes. I
would call him by his legal name, but anyway, I
was gonna call him Prince. So here's what we found

(56:27):
out about the case. Though I didn't know this, and
it was interesting to me. Prince thought he was taking
vicating And this is going to tie into our discussions
about um opioids and the opiate epidemic. Obviously Prince thought
he was taking vicating, but they found a lot of
pills that he had that were illegal that had fentanyl.

(56:50):
Now fentanyl can be actually know someone who's UH had
a family member who was on Fenton Al I was
talking to about it recently because he was battling cancer.
So fentanyl can be used legally, and it's in patch
form when you use it legally, but it's coming into
the US in large quantities illegally because it's a simple

(57:11):
process to make. Fentanyl is not hard to make. I
don't know how to make it, but I think it's
a either three or four step chemical process to make it.
And it is a hundred times more powerful than or
can be a hundred times more powerful than the over
the counter opioids that people have become familiar with, percocet, percocet,

(57:32):
vic it in, OxyContin. And what happened here with Prince
was that he thought he was taking vicating but because
he got the pills on the black market, what he
was taking, we're actually illegal fentanyl pills that they were
being that they were selling as vica into people. So

(57:55):
this is just a reminder of how dangerous it is
and one of the reasons why I understand why the
regulations in place on drugs that are I guess scheduled
to write Schedule one is just illegal stuff scheduled to
under the Controlled Substances Act is prescriptions that are prescription
drugs that have a use but are still very tightly

(58:16):
controlled their controlled substances, and they need to regulate this
stuff because it's one very dangerous It can be very
dangerous even if you're trying to not engage in the
illegal market. But the moment you step out of the
regulator markets, you don't know what you're getting, the moment
you're buying something that's been put in some bottle or
I don't even I don't know how people get these

(58:38):
illegal pills in the black market these days. Uh, because
if you take fent atyl one time and it's the
wrong dose, you can die very easily. Um. Fentanyl's potency
is so strong that people have to show up and
has matt suits. E. M. S Has to come in
and has matt suits for fear of coming into skin
contact with fentanyl at an overdose site. So the Prince

(59:01):
is one of the more visible, one of the more visible,
one of the most visible, I think in the last
decade or so of those who are either celebrities and
have overdosed on something that's either heroin or an opioid
or opiate and what Philip symour Hoffman as well and
ends up happening with these guys. They get into it

(59:22):
via the pills. Prince apparently had chronic pain in his
hip and he started taking the pills and they helped.
But then you develop a tolerance for you start taking more,
start taking more, and then you find out that it's easier.
Uh two, especially if you become addicted. It's easier to
get it illegally in many ways, and it is to
have to go through a legitimate doctor, because the doctor

(59:43):
may say, well, hold on, we gotta slow you down,
we gotta figure this out. And if you are addicted
to any opiate or any opioid, you you do not
want to hear from anyone that you can't have it.
The more I've read, and this is some of my
thoughts on this come from being almost done with the book.
Dre Land actually tweeted at Sam Canonas to tell him
how much I'm enjoying his book. He's an l A

(01:00:04):
Times reporter, or was an l A. Times report. I
don't know what he does these days. He might still
be there. I just don't know. But his book Dreamland
Is is phenomenal and really all of you should read it,
and those of you it's one of those books that
I've mentioned on ERE a few times just because I
think it's so important to have for us to have
an understanding of what's going on in the country right
now with the opioid epidemic. Um those who have actually

(01:00:26):
taken me up on it and started to read it
have been writing me to say, you know, that's a
really it's a really good book, and it's a it's
a story that we all should know how this happened,
how we got to this point where if you are
you know aged, uh, you know, it's what I think
it's fifty five now or eighteen to fifty five, and
you're you're suffering an untimely demise this country. It's not

(01:00:49):
it's more likely to be opiates then from a car accident.
So that's really that's just a profound statement and of itself.
But there's so much danger in taking these substances and
there they flooded into the country. They're all over the place.
There's a lot of them on the on the black market,
just from people that are reselling their prescriptions. Uh, there

(01:01:12):
are a lot of people that are bringing them into country.
I mean, look, I'm if I had more time, I'd
actually try to go down to the border. Right now,
I'm only about thirty minute drive from Tijuana, maybe thirty
five minute drive. And I would like to go see
what's going on in the San Diego border sector. But
I gotta get back to the east coast. But that's
something on my list for another time. I'm really curious

(01:01:33):
see how things are going down there, and i'd like
to set up some discussions and interviews with whoever could
speak to me from border patrol. I know that's gonna
be very, uh as politically sensitive. Right now, you've got
the governor, Governor Brown, who won't allow basically anything to
be done to help border patrol by the national Guard. Right.

(01:01:55):
National Guard is not to be used in any way,
shape or form that take takes the load off of
a border patrol. Which is just another way of the
governor California saying he is he has pro illegal immigration.
He's not trying to limit it. He's not sympathetic to
illegal immigrants. He is pro illegal immigration full stop. That's
a big change from even where the Democrat Party was

(01:02:18):
ten or fifteen years ago. I like how Trump is
responding by saying that we're not gonna order that. That's
you know, he's not gonna pay for it now. You know,
I like it. Trump needs to hit back on this stuff.
The country needs to see what some of these elected
officials really believe and how they're spending tax dollars. But
you know, if I were in my in my earlier days,

(01:02:39):
I guess I'm still you know, I'm not married, don't
have kids, so maybe I could justify my head to
do it. I still want to get down into the
southern tip of Baha and the Baha Peninsula and just
talk to some of the authorities, journalist whoever I could
about what's going on now in the Cabo, the area
of the of Cabo San Lucas and and the cities
around it, which is now more violent than at any

(01:03:02):
time any time in history, I believe so. And the
drug cartels are all tied into this. Drug cartels are
making so much money now via the heroin trade, and
it's all coming in through Mexico. Even the illegal fentonel
that China is making in big vats come into Mexico
and then are trans shipped in the United States via
the same smuggling pipelines to get illegal aliens in the country,

(01:03:25):
and then the dealers hide in the illegal immigrant population
and the illegal alien population of major cities and in
smaller cities where there's been so much illegal immigration in
the last twenty or thirty years that places you wouldn't
necessarily think of. And I know a lot of your
listening like, oh buck, trust me my time. We got
a lot of legal immigrants. And you know, we're a
city of fifty or a hundred thousand and not not

(01:03:45):
a big city. But the dealers hide among the rest
of the population, and they switched them out too. It's
a very very important part of the strategy. The dealers
come and go, so they go back to Mexico, and
that means that it's a lot harder to bring cases
against them, and you gotta get them while they're here.
And uh, and people are losing their life. Prince, philipsymor Hoffman,

(01:04:09):
philipsy More Hoffman, and just last year alone, sixty four
thousand other Americans who had futures that they never were
able to see because of what's going on with illegal
illegal drugs, primarily now uh, fentanyl top of the list,
and also heroin. So interesting that they couldn't figure out
who gave Prince the pill was really what it came

(01:04:31):
down to, who gave him this fentanyl that he thought
was Viking, and they have information to to prove that
he didn't think he was taking fentanyl. He I don't
know if he would have known how dangerous that was
or but they couldn't prove it. So no one's gonna
be charged with anything even though someone gave him illegal
drugs that were miss mislabeled. And now we you know,

(01:04:52):
we lost a great a great musician. Um. Well, we
lose Americans every day to this, whether someone's a musician
or not. We really shouldn't, you know. You think about
this in terms of what gets attention, but each each
American life that's lost this epidemic as a tragedy and
it requires a much more robust not just government response.

(01:05:13):
Right we think the government's going to solve this. We
need to know more about this and how it happens
and where it's happening, and how to combat it, and
why we are in the midst of this as a country.
And this is this is an all hands on deck situation.
This is a a true crisis. So I I was
thinking about this today as I was reading the update
from the case UM dealing with Prince Um. And we've

(01:05:36):
got we've got more common team. I will be discussing
the latest with North Korea, a big concession coming from
the North Korean side of the upcoming summit between Trump
and Kim Jong And that makes me think, Okay, this
is actually moving in a direction where we could see
some stuff happen and it's not just gonna be uh,

(01:05:57):
you know, they show up, shake hands or high five
or whatever, and then Trump and Kim Jong un go
their separate ways. Um. And then the second hour of
also our third hour that I've got to talk to
you about the wisdom of Kanye, the life philosophy of
Kanye West. He's putting it all over Twitter, some interesting
stuff you want. I think you will want to hear that.

(01:06:17):
And the Governor New York is acting like a Bozoh,
that's nothing new. We'll have some fun with that, so
I stay right there. I think the judge is setting
up a sensible system where there will be a review

(01:06:39):
of these documents to see whether any are covered by
the attorney client privilege, and those will be excluded, and
that's proper, But most of these documents will not be
You'll recall that I made that suggestion on this show
and Jeffrey said it was a terrible idea. It was
a terrible idea and unnecessary. It's a good idea. Well,
I think I still think it's a good idea. Look,

(01:06:59):
you're gonna have judge or somebody assigned by the judge
to look through the papers, and I hope he's right.
If there's nothing that's lawyer client privilege here, let the
prosecutors see it all. Let them prosecute. But if they
find communications between a lawyer and a client that all legitimate,
no FBI agents should get to see that and leak it.

(01:07:20):
The dirsh laying it down versus CNN's uh shockingly inept
in my opinion, legal analyst Jeffrey Tuban. But nonetheless, uh
Durst was given a bit of a buck slab. Perhaps
we could say it theirst slap um, But that was
what was happening there. Uh. Now they might have this
other person, they might have some set up where they

(01:07:41):
don't allow they don't allow those who are prone to leak,
for example, to get their hands on the information the
first place. And that's very important here, especially when you're
talking about such a high profile I mean, it doesn't
get more high profile than this does it. And he
might have folks that think that, okay, it's attorney client

(01:08:02):
privilege information, but they want to even the score a
little bit against Trump. We've seen We're not paranoid. They
are out to get us. We've seen plenty of this
against Trump. One more thing on this, Uh, I just
saw the breaking news. Rudy Giuliani best known by me
for being the guy who cleaned up New York City

(01:08:23):
when I was there, when I was a kid there
and it was a really dangerous place for a large
US city, A lot of bad stuff going on in
the early nineties in New York rough time. Juliani cleaned
it up. He has now joined the legal team that
Trump has put together. So Juliani is, in fact, Uh,

(01:08:45):
Giuliani is in fact the guy who is getting added
onto the roster. Now Giuliani knows Muller, so that'll be interesting.
And the reporting at least from CNNY year is that
Giuliani may ask for essentially a list of compliance material
that they would need to bring the investigation to a
close and try to speed this thing up. How effective

(01:09:07):
can Rudy be in this whole thing. I'm affective with
Giuliani be and trying to want to help Trump and
protect his flank on all this and also to speed
things long. I don't know, you know, Rudy has been
I don't think he's been. I know he's been a
security consultant, does a lot of TV stuff. I don't
think he's been practicing much in the way a law
at a long time. But I could I could be
wrong on that. Uh So we shall see. But yeah,

(01:09:29):
Giuliani has joined the Trump defense team. Left the breaking
breaking news. Giuliani joins Trump defense team. So there is
that Patrick in Wabash, Indiana? Did I say that right? Patrick? Yeah? Whoa, Hey, Yeah,

(01:09:51):
we're here, man. We can all hear you. Wabash or
Wabash Wabash. I was close. I want to ask a
question that's I have been asked by anybody, and I
don't know. I thought, but it's it's true, Hillary Obama
and it all call me and such. Why shouldn't they

(01:10:11):
be prosecuted for conspiracy to overturn the United States? Because
if that's what they can do with their lives and
successfully get Trump out of office, they could do it
to anybody. Well, Patrick, I I appreciate where your heart
is in this one. But if we couldn't get if
we couldn't get charges against Hillary for over a hundred

(01:10:32):
instances of classified on her home Brew server, and all
the lies and all the destruction of evidence that followed it, Um,
we're not I don't think we're gonna get on a
complicated overturning the government charge never mind. I'm not sure
that's something that could even be proven under any circumstances.
But I do appreciate your calling in from Indiana. I
had one more thing I wanted to get here to

(01:10:52):
the dirt because it is important. Um playlip nine. Please.
You never can have a crime with the intent is
the whole thing. You have to have an illegal act,
and you can't have an illegal act when the president
acts within his constitutional authority. You can't have an act
that is both constitutionally authorized under Article one under Article two,

(01:11:15):
and at the same time is criminal. And you must
have an act. As Grays, you must have any illegal act,
and it would undercut the power of the president to
start questioning why he pardoned, why he fired. Once he
did it and it's within his authority, you can't question,
just like you can't question a senator for his vote
on the Senate floor, and you can't question a judge

(01:11:35):
for their vote in the Supreme Court. You know, It's
kind of like, uh, you know, in the NFL, there's
some things that that cannot be reviewed. And even if
you think, oh man, that guy's food was out of bound,
you're like, well, I can't be reviewed, right, we all
know the rules. This is not non There are rules
we all know. And Ther's just saying here and he's

(01:11:56):
going up against Tube and there as well that you
can't There is not any scenario where the president's decision
to fire, because the president can fire for any reason.
So if the president can fire, call me for any reason,
how can the president's firing of Comey be a prosecutable act?
The answers that can't be. So what the heck are
they even talking about? The answer that is, they don't

(01:12:18):
you know, the Democrats don't even know. They just want
to take Trump down. Uh, We've got some interesting news
on North Korea that makes me think that this may
actually get further down, further down field. To borrow from
our NFL analogy, here, further downfield and people would have anticipated.
So I've got some stories for you on that, plus
the wisdom of Kanye and the stupidity of Cuomo. That's

(01:12:40):
coming up. You're gonna wanna stay around for it. He's
back with you now, because when it comes to the
fight for truth, the fuck never stops. M You are

(01:13:03):
now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All programs must
be kept strictly. Need to know Team Bucket is cleared
and ready for the buck Brief. We hope to see
the day when the whole Korean peninsula can live together
in safety, prosperity, and peace. This is the destiny of

(01:13:24):
the Korean people who deserve and have gone through so
much over the years. We hope it all works out.
We'll be trying very hard. I want to thank the
Prime Minister for his inside and support over the past
year as we have pursued the dream of a peaceful,

(01:13:46):
nuclear free Korea. Shinzo, you have worked very hard along
with us and all of our people, and we thank
you very much, and we're with you, and you're a
lot closer than we are, but we're working on this together.
We are weeks away from what is anticipated to be

(01:14:06):
one of the biggest foreign policy and diplomacy gambles of
the last twenty years um, and that's just I'm just
taking a wild guest there. I mean, you could take
this back probably the Berlin Wall. In terms of the
geopolitical ramifications. North Korea is the single most authoritarian, most

(01:14:29):
totalitarian state on the planet. It is the most disturbing
rogue state when it comes to its weapons programs, the
most isolated from the international community, and the most militaristic
even more so than Iran or others in its rhetoric.
And the President of the United States right now, despite
all of the naysayers and the people that have aligned

(01:14:52):
against whatever foreign policy movie makes, has decided that he
is going to approach this with fresh eye days and
engage in what could honestly be And I'm not trying to,
you know, take a line from what you might have
heard on The Apprentice here, but this would be the
most high stakes negotiation of Donald Trump's life. I think

(01:15:13):
that that's pretty clear. If he sits down with Kim
Jong on face to face and they have a discussion
about the future of that country. Doesn't get any bigger
than that, because the possibility if this fails, and we
need to put this into the proper context so we
understand why these discussions have so much writing on them.
If this fails, the prospect of a war with North

(01:15:36):
Korea at some point in the not distant future UH
gets larger with each passing day, becomes much more serious
and much more likely. So the President United States has
decided to embark on this path, and it would be
an amazing thing, wouldn't it. After I mean, we could
go back on Google and we could look at the

(01:15:57):
tweets and see journalists who were saying Trump's Twitter accounts
gonna start a nuclear war with North Korea, you know,
calling him a little rocketman. Remember that one, a little
rocket man that's going to get aust into hot water
with North Korea, And there's going to be huge ramifications
from it. What if Trump is the one that manages

(01:16:18):
to put the Korean Peninsula on a path to stability
where you don't have the North constantly threatening not just
retaliation against the US for any active aggression that it sees,
but UH trying to enforce its will upon South Korea
at the point of a sword. It would be a

(01:16:39):
game changer. And we have more information now about just
what we can expect from UH these talks. But first
I want to I want to note that this is
not just the result of a gamble that Trump took
by setting up these direct talks. It's also a policy
response that he's had in place. You have tougher sanctions

(01:16:59):
now on North Korea that at any point previously, more
sanctions that target those who try to help them evade sanctions,
and going after vessels that are used to do transhipment
of North Korean goods. And this is all very smart policy,
and it is also bearing it is also bearing out

(01:17:20):
its effects here. And remember this is what the president
that we're told doesn't know anything. He's an agramus on
foreign policy. Meanwhile, his sanctions regime against North Korea is
better than anything that we have seen previously. And you'd
probably like to think why is that. Well, maybe the
Obama administration, for example, didn't want things to get two
tends with North Korea because they didn't ever want to

(01:17:41):
have to actually use the stick, just the carrot, right,
they didn't want to have to come down on North
Korea if there was some kind of a reciprocal action
taken by Kim Jong un meant to you know, rattle us,
you know, we put sanctions on him. He decides to
come back at us with some things. So the sanctions
are critical. Play clip two. We have come a long

(01:18:04):
way with North Korea. We were, as you know, and
when I say we, for many years, they've been talking
to North Korea and nothing's happened. They should have been
taken care of by past administrations when they were not
nearly so far along. But we put unbelievably powerful sanctions
on and many other things. He's right about the previous administrations,

(01:18:28):
and that includes Republican administrations, bipartisan failure in the issue
of North Korea. You know what the safe move was
was a North Korea keep keep more or less the
policy or predecessor, whether it was Obama with Bush or
Bush with Clinton, or keep whatever was there before, and
don't rock the boat too much, stay within with the
foreign policy the so called foreign policy smart set says

(01:18:52):
you should do. You know, don't do anything that puts
you in a position where you could be held accountable
for a man ager disruption of the status quo and
the fallout from it. And start talking to fall out.
You can think nuclear fallout too. Um Trump is like
enough is enough, No more kicking the can down the
road on North Korea. Let's let's take this head on.

(01:19:14):
You know, you've had Comy sank to Comy out there
on his media tour and he's talking about political courage.
You know what political courage is. It's when you don't
have to tackle something as an elected official. You can
leave it for the next guy and protect your poll numbers,
but you would rather protect an ally global stability and

(01:19:35):
thirty thousand plus American troops in South Korea and whoever
else we'd have to get involved with. Things really hit
the fan in dealing with Pyeong yang. That's what political
courage actually is. It's not writing a book when you're
gonna get a lot of money for it and a
lot of press and attention, and you're going to be

(01:19:55):
messing up a current administration for your own personal gain.
That's not courage. Saying despite all the so called foreign
policy conventional wisdom which has been arrayed against Trump in
on almost every issue where he's decided to go his
own way, right, it's not like he can say, well,
some agreed with the some don't. Whenever Trump steps away

(01:20:18):
from the consensus opinion, whether it's on trade, is the
is the big one and now we're seeing in North
Korea as well. There's a bipartisan backlash against him, but
he believes that it's necessary and he's gonna lead. You know,
Leadership implies being out front, being first in the line,
and for Trump that means sitting across from Kim Jong

(01:20:42):
un and perhaps striking a deal. I mentioned there was
a news update on it, and and I wanted to actually
give you what that was. North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un,
according to the New York Times and other well, I
was gonna say reputable sites, but however reputable you think
they are, has decided that there will no longer be
the upfront demand the prerequisite of a removal of all

(01:21:06):
U S troops from the Korean peninsula from I mean
from South Korea. Right, we don't have troops in North Korea,
so from South Korea. So Kim Jong un is now
officially and this has com do us through UH intermediaries
in the well, through the press, I believe I said that. Yeah,
South Korea's President Moon j In has told us this

(01:21:28):
that there is not the precondition of all U S
troops have to leave South Korea, which had been the case.
And this so this is a change. This shows a
serious willingness to negotiate. Right. That was a nonstarter. That
was a deal breaker. There was the possibility, and I
had thought that it might come into play here. I

(01:21:49):
couldn't rule it out that Kim Jong un was going
to say, hold on a second, before we really get
to anything, we need you to agree to take all
U S troops off the Korean penins because then it
becomes this game of well, how do we verify whether
they really whether they're cheating on their nuclear regime or not,
you know, whether they've actually gotten rid of everything they've

(01:22:09):
said they've gotten rid of. And if we don't have
troops in the Korean peninsula, we have way less leverage,
especially if things got really ugly, really fast between North
and South Korea. So that was a nonstarter. That's not
on the that's not a problem anymore. That's off the table.
So this is another positive sign. I'm not trying to
get ahead of things. I know this is gonna be
very tough, but it is the biggest negotiation of this

(01:22:33):
president's life, no question about it, and the benefits could
be huge. It could really affect our relationship with China
in positive ways, which could affect our economy in positive ways,
or that you've got to think of the second order
effects that could come from this, And I think in
this instance you'll see it's very very important. Um, the
Governor New York is trying to show everyone he's woke,

(01:22:54):
and we are going to discuss in just a few
minutes here how unwoke he is. He's very very into
big a social jot. You'll see. You'll see just a
few stay with me, whether you're drinking it's straight up
on the rocks or mixing it into your favorite margarita.

(01:23:15):
G four tequila is simply the best you can get
out there on the market right now. G four is
the pinnacle of master distiller for Leape Camarina's passion for
crafting truly great tequila. What I think you're gonna remember
about G four is that it's it has this incredible
process where it uses fifty harvested rainwater and fifty fifty

(01:23:35):
spring water. The rainwater is harvested from the advanced rain
collection system that was built into the roof at L.
Pandio Distillery, and the spring water comes from a spring
right on the ranch. This brings a distinctive, clear crisp
smell and flavor to G four, it sets it apart
from all the rest. Try for yourself and see I
love drinking it. I think you really enjoy it. To

Craft your own luxury. You want to talk about undocumented

(01:24:28):
and the way they torture the docta children. I'm an
Italian American. I came from poor Italian Americans who came here.
You know what they called Italian Americans back in the day,
They called them wops. You know what whops stood for
without papers. I'm undocumented. You want to deport an undocumented person,

(01:24:51):
start with me, because I'm an undocumented person. The governor
of New York is apparently a more on. He gives
speeches that he thinks sound good until the words leave
his mouth and then he realizes he is a buffoon
of the highest order. That's Cuomo, the governor of one

(01:25:15):
of our biggest and most important states, at least by
population and wealth. I'm not I'm not trying to hate
on your Rhode Island, but not exactly carrying the same
weight as New York. And this is now, this is
now a thing that we're all undocumented. You're going to
see more and more of this, right because it used
to be we're all immigrants, and then we realized that's
not really true. It's not really an accurate state. Now

(01:25:38):
you're seeing, Oh, people like the governor of New York
are saying that he's undocumented and deport him. I know
that he's trying to make a point here, but it's
a point that's so or rather, he's doing it in
so stupid a fashion that I think we gave him
far too much credit to think that there's even a

(01:25:58):
point to be made. Nobody needs a hundred rounds to
kill a dear Remember that was him after he decided
to push for gun control legislation in New York State,
and he was talking about hunting all the time, And
anyone who knows anything about the Second Amendment knows that
hunting has literally nothing to do with it. Would it

(01:26:20):
be unconstitutional to tell people they were only allowed to
use a bow and arrow, or or perhaps a Roman
Empire style peelum, which is like a weaited javelin spear.
I just wanted to throw that in there because you know,
fun fact of the day. Um. Yeah, actually you could
require people the only hunt with whatever implements you want. Technically,

(01:26:42):
at at a state level, it probably passed a federal
lass as part of commerce. But but guns are not
about hunting. But he doesn't care because he wants still
bad fire arms. And if you'll notice, every time the
Governor of New York give the speech, it's up in
the same register. It's like he doesn't think that the

(01:27:06):
words will come out until they do, and then the
words are out of his mouth that he said from
or else stop. So so he says he's undocumented. That's
clearly not true. He's the governor of New York State. Um.
And then he also took this even further with the

(01:27:28):
I am you know this is uh. You see this
hashtag sometimes if you know, I am whatever um and
and Cuomo is trying to get in on some of that.
He's trying to be he's trying to be woke Cuomo.
He's trying to be woke Cuomo here. And this is
what he says about all the different identities that he
identifies with twenty two. As a New Yorker, I am

(01:27:53):
a Muslim as a New Yorker, I am Jewish as
a New Yorker, I am black, I am I am disabled.
I am a woman seeking to control her health and
her choices because as a New Yorker, we are one community.
I have a question for you. First of all, do

(01:28:16):
you own a mirror? Second of all, why are you
saying something so dull? Uh? Notice how he's not a
he's not just a woman in this. I understand he's
taking some uh some poetic license here with us, But
notice how he's only a woman who's pro choice. That's
what he's saying. He and he didn't say pro choice

(01:28:37):
because it's preferential for people who are pro choice to
believe it. They're really all about health, that it's a
health choice. You know, some people like to have oh
brand the morning. Other people like to make the terrible
choice of terminating a pregnancy. It's just about health. No,
it's not. No, it's not. But that's the formulation and

(01:29:00):
that he uses. Um, that's the formulation that he uses
because he is a uh really a grotesque panderer. And
don't ever forget that he's the same governor who there
was something called the Moreland Commission. And remember, Democrats played
dirty and Republicans are boy scouts who sometimes don't understand
the street fight that they're in and therefore they lose.

(01:29:22):
As a recurring theme, I've been hitting that with you
here on the show. But Cuomo set up the Moreland Commission,
or the Moreland Commission got started and it was getting
a little too close for comfort. So guess what he
did with his corruption Commission. He shot it down because
they were looking for corruption and c stands for Cuomo

(01:29:46):
as well as corruption. So he's a guy that I
think you've looked at him more, you'd find out, Oh yeah,
he's dirty. He's a bad guy too. I've heard from
people in New York politics that not not a nice
fellow at all. But oh we one more quote from
him before I move on from this. It is just
this is what you're seeing, folks. Big states, very democrats states.

(01:30:07):
Now it's not enough to even be a Democrat. You
have to be wearing your wokeness on your sleeve. Plate.
As New Yorkers, we are especially aware of issues of diversity.
We're aware of issues of intolerance because we are eighteen
million people from countries all across the globe. We are
probably the most diverse state on the globe. Uh And

(01:30:31):
it is the essence of who we are. And we
have no tolerance for intolerance, period. And now it's going
to stand up and set This gets much more interesting
when you look at what he means by intolerance though.
Is is it intolerant, if a for for a Christian

(01:30:52):
to have traditional beliefs about marriage? Oh? Yeah, that's intolerance.
Is it intolerant for someone to think that abortion is
evil and should be illegal? Oh that's intolerance. So what
they mean by intolerance is actually just anything that opposes
the political orthodoxy of the left. They'll find a way

(01:31:15):
to shoehorn that into the intolerance category because they're they're
in a constant propaganda war. They're really not in a
war for ideas as such. It's not about competing goods
and principles, and we're squaring off against them battlefield of ideas. Now,
this is the Left presenting itself as the moral choice.

(01:31:37):
It's already been decided. They're the good guys. If you're
not with them, you're the bad guy. And they're just
gonna keep yelling about it. They are not looking for converts.
They are hunting heretics. And that is what you see
from the governor of New York State. Uh and everything
that he does. But I just I couldn't help. But
I am an unbocumented person. I also do not and

(01:32:00):
to say things that are very smart. My speech writer
does sometimes right gobbledegook on the page because I will
there is place, go up, dog cat move, Hey, not funny,
I'm the governor. Wait a quick break, team back with

(01:32:20):
uh some thoughts from the one and only philosopher of
our age? Who is it? Who is it? You'll have
to stay and I'll let you know. I looked for

(01:32:46):
wisdom wherever I can find it. I like to spend
as much of my time as I can acquiring more
knowledge but inside about life and being able to leverage
the life philosophy of others is something that I think
we should all seek to seek to gain right. We
should look for those who have insights on on just

(01:33:09):
the day to day. I'm not talking about the deep
philosophy like the meaning of life or religion. I just
mean how you approach your job, how you approach waking
up in the morning. And I just thought it was
kind of funny because I spend time looking for these
things online, looking for people that have real insights, and
sure enough, there's an unexpected source of what I guess

(01:33:31):
you could call daily philosophy out there, Mr Kanye West.
I've been reading some of Kanye recently because his Twitter account,
which has a mere sixteen million followers, so a lot
of folks get to see what Kanye is thinking. Uh,
they can see what the what the Kanye is cooking

(01:33:52):
if you will. I guess the Rock is going to
be upset about this, but he said some interesting stuff
on Twitter really kind of got my attention. But he
also says really weird stuff, and so it's kind of
fun because you can separate out the wisdom of Kanye
from the weirdness of Kanye. And that's kind of what
they spent a few minutes on this before we get

(01:34:14):
into a roll call, which will obviously be just all wisdom,
no weirdness, because it's coming from all of you. Like
Kanye wrote, and this is just in the last couple
of days, things like today will be the greatest day
so far. Life keeps getting better and better. Now, you
you could dismiss that as tried to be sure, But
you know, isn't it better wake up and think that

(01:34:37):
maybe if it's not even true, it's a worthwhile way
to approach your day, I would think. He also writes,
if you want to see the true character of a person,
watch the way they treat someone who can't do anything
for them. Now, this is quite true. This got retweeted
a hundred and sixty one thousand times. I would note,
but uh, this is also well known and it is obvious.

(01:35:00):
And I will tell you that whenever I have seen
someone who has acted badly towards someone that I knew
wouldn't be able to stand up for themselves or retaliate
in any way, I'm never able to. I've never able
to let that go entirely about that person's character. You
know that that, to me is very very telling. And

(01:35:22):
people say this like, oh, pay attention to how someone
treats those who serve them or weight on them, and uh,
and those who work for them. I'm very proud of
the fact, although may be proud is too strong a word,
because it's also just what I would expect for myself.
But I've never of all the people that I have, uh,
that I've had work for me in some capacity in
my ears and media. I've never mistreated any of them.

(01:35:45):
So that's something that I take pride in. How about that? Um?
Other things that Kanye. They're going back to the philosophy
of Kanye West, he wrote, be Les, this is just
the last couple of days he's been like an online
philosophy tear. I'm just trying to share it with you.
You know, Kanye is a Some of you will say
he's a megalomaniac and overrated and all that, and whether

(01:36:07):
or not that's true, He's an interesting fellow. He's an
interesting fellow. Um, he wrote, Let's be less concerned with
ownership of ideas. It is important that ideas see the
light of day, even if you don't get the credit
for them. Let's be let's let's be less concerned with
credit awards and external validation. Um. This little zen, little

(01:36:28):
zen for Kanye. I think here is somebody who makes
a living in the creative space and who relies on
intellectual property law to allow him to be so wealthy.
I'm not sure this idea of just put your ideas
out there and let anyone have them, just put them
out in the universe. Man I don't think that's good advice.

(01:36:48):
I'm just gonna say, uh, where, there's some other ones
here that were really oh here, Oh wait, where did
it go? Where did my Where did Kanye go? It
disappeared for a second off my screen. But I've got more.
I'm up here. Uh. It's not where you take things from,
it's where you take them to. Okay, that's a fortune cookie.
That that's a fortune cookie. We don't have to spend
much time on that one. Uh. And then there's one

(01:37:11):
in particular that in life. Oh, here we go. In life,
we are all trained actors. When we're born, we're ourselves.
And then one of the first things were thought is
how to act if you see a kid screaming at
a restaurant because he feels something and can't express himself
in a conventional manner, where the kids just a just
a baby. Um. Then Kanye writes, I can't argue this one.

(01:37:35):
Stop lying about stuff, just stop lying. And oh here's
here's a particularly uh interesting one. You will be a
drop of water with the ocean as your army. If
you move out of fear, then you move on your own.
Then it's just you and the money and the countless
people you have lied to and manipulate to build a
man made path that will never leave the true happiness.

(01:37:58):
Uh what does that mean? I don't really know, but
I just me. I just know that Kanye is something
of a Twitter philosopher now. And uh, I've been enjoying
some of the insights and the really really random stuff
courtesy of Mr Kanye West. Like I said, I look
for insight everywhere, folks, and with that your insights coming

(01:38:18):
up in Roll Call. It's been quite a week out
here on the West Coast, the Left Coast, my first

(01:38:39):
time ever in San Diego, hoping that I can at
least go take a quick peek at the beach in
La Joya, which sounds like a lovely place before I
have to head back on an airplane and get back
into the fight in New York City. Man, traveling is tiring.
I gotta say, you know, the whole traveling salesman thing.
Those guys were gals earn their money though it's a lot,

(01:39:02):
and airline travels also just it's just a bummer. It
just is. You know. Maybe one day, well I'll have
buck Force one and I'd like to think it's like
a g seven or something, but it will probably be
a a prop plane. Um, then I'll have to learn
to fly it myself. But Buck Force one is a
goal of the future. It'd probably be more likely a

(01:39:24):
hang glider even you know, not even motorized. But I
need some set of of wheels for the sky, if
you will. And now with that completely nonsensical interlude, let's
get into your much more sensible commentary, your thoughts, your questions,
analysis of all things. It's time for some roll call. Hey,

(01:39:50):
Team Buck, it's time for roll call. See some of
you love the dub step, so I gotta put the
dub step in. If some of you are such big fan,
I know others of you are not. Scrill X was
the most famous dub step DJ that I knew of
at least, and he I don't see as much of
him anymore. All right, now let's get into it. If

(01:40:11):
you want to write to me, by the way, if
you want to be a part of this final segment
of the show. Uh it is Facebook dot com, slash
Buck Sexton or official Team Buck at g mail dot com. Uh.
Let's go. Let's go into uh Seth who writes Buck.
I'm a couple of days behind you on the podcast.

(01:40:32):
But I heard you are in San Diego. Are you
having any meet and Greek opportunities for fans? Shields high uh, seth.
Nothing planned, but I will be wandering around downtown, popping
into random bars and and hanging out tonight, and I'm
sure i'll be tweeting out or instagramming. And if you
don't follow me on Instagram, it's just Buck Sexton on Instagram.

(01:40:53):
So it's mostly photos of me doing work and then
photos of Ms Molly because she's way prettier than I am. Uh,
And that's pretty much my Instagram. And and dogs dogs,
me doing media stuff Miss Molly that is a pretty
compret Oh and food occasionally, but not my only food
that I cook, not food that someone else cooks for me, right,

(01:41:13):
because I'm not a savage. If I make a perfectly
seared ribbi using my cast iron at home, if I
have the the appropriate amount of coated seasoning around it,
ample salt and pepper, if I really get that caramelization
of the meat on the yeah, then I'll share that
on Instagram. But I'm not gonna sit there and be like, oh,
look at this, I've got a kale beat salad with

(01:41:33):
goot cheese and extra virgin olive oil. That's someone else put. No, no,
that's just for me to eat in, you know, in
front of me eating my ribbi, or rather ahead of
me eating my ribbi. Uh So, anyway, seth. Hopefully I'll
maybe we'll we'll bump into each other tonight at some
point with some of the rest of the team. But
I'm gonna be one around downtown San Diego. If you

(01:41:55):
see a guy looks like a lost tourist wearing a hoodie,
because I'm trying to fit out here in Cali Fornia,
Mark Zuckerberg style. I'm rocking a a hipster hoodie today. Um,
that will be me. So please come over and say hi.
Next up, we've got Adam. All right, Hey Buck, I
just want to say you've inspired me to start speaking
my mind about current events, history, philosophy, and how all

(01:42:18):
these things relate back to promoting freedom. Started on Facebook, page, Twitter, etcetera, etcetera.
Thanks so much for continue to inspire others. Well, Adam,
that's a really high compliment, my friend, And I'm so
glad that you feel in any way what I do
here on this show. My My My Day, to day
passion my life's work. Uh. If it inspires you to

(01:42:39):
do your own version of the Freedom hudd or if
you feel like now you're empowered to just share your
thoughts more family and friends and or um put a
platform out there where you're doing your own analysis. That's
great and it's very very high praise indeed, and uh
keep at it and shields high, Uh, Daniel, next up,

(01:43:00):
I enjoy your show. Hopefully sank to comis sank to
comy and all its grammatical forms become part of our language.
You're a clear voice among the babble. Well, Daniel, you
are a man who understands clarity when he hears it.
So thank you so much for your time, message and
your support. You know, on days like today, where I'll
be honest with you, I've been driving around, running around

(01:43:20):
just lots and lots of meetings, and I can't give
you any previews really of what the meetings are gonna are,
what they're about. But I can tell you that we've
just got a lot of projects in mind for the
Freedom hut here also knowne as the Buck Sexton Show,
that will be coming your fruition soon, and there's gonna
be more audio additions to what we do here, and

(01:43:43):
more video additions to what we do here. It is
all in the mix. It is it is getting done.
And by the way, also, all of you who have
decided to check out some of our sponsors on the show,
I've been getting feedback about that. It just it helps
so much. And there's no bigger vote of confidence you
can give for what I'm doing day in and day

(01:44:03):
out than when I read off uh some ideas or
some some copy points give you a U r L
to go to for one of our sponsors. Check them out, please,
because that's the way. Look, that's the way we fund
all the projects we're doing, including the future expansions of
the Hut, And it really means a lot. And those
of you who have been doing it, and there are
a lot of you really appreciate, and those of you

(01:44:24):
haven't yet, please give it some thought and with that
we will go to Sarah here. Roll call is always fun,
but even more so when I hear my own stuff. Sarah,
She's in the roll call feed now. Fun to feel
connected somehow, as I listened to the last ninth show
and realized I wasn't the only one who caught it.
I thought perhaps you might feel glad we all listen

(01:44:44):
so carefully. Yes, Sarah, there was a bit of a
preview that was unintended of perhaps Buck spending more time
in our nation's capital starting very soon. So, like I said,
neither confirmed nor deny. But those of you who mistic
can go back and listen on the podcast and you
can make up your own minds about it. Uh, let's
see we have. I I gotta say, I don't know

(01:45:09):
how to how to pronounce this. Let me know when
you get to San Diego, big fan here, Well, I
uh thank you, and I'm here, So there you go.
And I'm gonna be downtown tonight in San Diego. Wandered
around probably whatever the best seafood restaurant in San Diego is,
that is probably where I will be tonight. So whatever

(01:45:31):
that is. I'm an oyster guy. I'm a seafood guy.
And Ms Molly hates all that stuff. Loves tuna. I
mean there's some seafood she likes, but it does not
like any of the raw shellfish. So when I'm when
we're separated, she had to go back to New York.
When we're separated, I tend to really indulge my inner

(01:45:52):
post sidon so poetic bucks so poetic. Uh. Dr Lee, Hey,
Dr Lee, have heard from you in a while. That's
really nice. Dr Lee is one of my OSS squad
here and she's got more degrees than I have, uh
fingers on my hands, she writes in as always love
the show. Shout out to my fellow OSS peeps from

(01:46:14):
Dr Lee today. I was especially moved by the story
you shared about the young man who realized how self
involved he was and ultimately changed his attitude. Thankfully, I
work at a university allows me to even encourage me
uh to share my faith with students. Thus, every morning
at the beginning of class, I have spiritual reflections where
I share inspirational stories. Today I use this story as

(01:46:38):
our time to reflect on compassion for others. Since today's
topic was on energy balance and obesity. Because of this story,
I think they will look at Obesi with a different
set of eyes shields. I can't wait to see all
in Austin. Well, Dr Lee, I'll certainly give you a
heads up when I'm gonna be down in the Austin
area working on that trip uh, and I'm hopefully gonna

(01:46:58):
be bringing it to fruition. Maybe not this summer because
it's like a little hot in Austin over the summer,
but the fall, like October, maybe November be like a
great time for me to go check out what's going
on in Austin, I think, um, but might be sooner
than that too. And yeah, I thought that story that
guy told was really moving. And you know I I

(01:47:20):
still um, yeah, there's there's a couple of stories that
it reminded me of that I might share with you
later on later on, Well it wouldn't be this week,
but next week. Um. And I will tell you that
one thing that I've I've really never been able to shake.
It's just me sharing some truth, sharing some of my
truth with you here, which I try to do all

(01:47:40):
the time. But this is on a personal side. Is
whenever I have mistreated somebody who has been good to me,
and even a small way, I have a really hard
time with that, meaning that I remember it for for
years and I always want to make amends. And fortunately,
I will say I think the incidents are few and

(01:48:02):
far between, but I mean even kind of more minor ones,
you know, or before I got into media, if anyone
when I was in the agency or before that, you know,
kind of looked up to me and I didn't. Yeah,
I didn't live up to the expectation of one where
or another or not even the expectation. Just live up
to my own standards. So it's important always always keep

(01:48:25):
in mind those around you who are trying to show
you kindness in respect, and they may not be doing
it in the way that you necessarily would assume they would, right,
and they may not be. They may not be the
smoothest or the coolest and how they do it. But
you know, never forget the person that does a little
a little nice thing here or there for you. Um
and and always try to be thankful for it. Uh

(01:48:47):
we have, Eric, He writes, hope you're enjoying the Left Coast.
I was trying to think of something to challenge you
with for movie quote Friday, and I was wondering, did
you ever catch Boondocks Saints? I guarantee you'll be entertained
or your money back. I will literally reimburse you for
the cost of the rental. Also, the Hillary impressions get
me every time I'm breaking laws. I love it. That's

(01:49:10):
what Hillary says. So and he wrote in the quote
that's gonna be it for the Freedom Hunt. For today,
my phone, my folks, my friends, my fellow patriots, all
of the above, thank you so much for being here
with me. Excited to get back to home based freedom
Hunt and tomorrow my friend Mike O. Pelca. Those of
you who are original Saturday Squad, no that Mike was

(01:49:30):
one of my earliest guests on radio. He was a
guy who before it was even clear there was gonna
be much of a freedom hut, he was my buddy.
So you should uh definitely give him a listen, give
him a chance tomorrow and he will be uh in
for me. So we call him the Godfather, and if

(01:49:52):
you want, you can call it and ask him why
that is. But Michael Pelica intomorrow, So I'll be back
with you all Monday. I means please do catch up
on any podcast. You best share it with a friend
if you can, have a great weekend. See you Monday.
