(01:34):
It's not just that spy that we need to worry about.
There's a whole lot more coming up on The Buck
Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show where the
mission or mission is to decode what really matters with
actionable intelligence. Make no mistake American Ready, you're a great
American Again. The Buck Sexton Show begins analys No. Welcome

(02:03):
to the Buck section Show. Everybody. Great to have you
here with me Scaturday. I'd be able to address you
as always from the Swamp is swamp tastic here. It's
that kind of swampy noess where you walk outside and
you feel like you're swimming, and then you realize you're
just swimming in yourself because it's so sweaty and so gross,
and you'd like to think that maybe you're gliding through

(02:23):
the air, but no, you're actually just a glistening, greasy
mess walking around the streets of swampy DC, surrounded by
lobbyists and creatures of the government's terrifying thing. At least
I get to come in here. This this is, uh,
this is my happy place. I think we can't call
it a safe space because that would be snowflake like.

(02:44):
No producer Mike has given thumbs down. This is my
happy place. The Freedom Hunt, my friends. So let's uh,
let's discuss what we're gonna be hitting today on the show. Well, actually,
I'll just get right into it. Immigration is a topic
that you'll notice Democrats don't really have a specific policy

(03:04):
that they want to push. It's much more a question
of posturing, right. It's it's a way of achieving cheap
virtue of virtue signaling without having any uh challenges to
to overcome with that any without any skin in the game,
without making any tough choices. You just get to say,

(03:25):
you know, America is a nation of immigrants. Look at
the poem on the bottom of the Statue of Liberty
and you're like, well, that's not that's not enough, and
you might start to say things like have you ever
considered random pajama boy liberal that a lot of other
countries have immigration policies that you would inherently consider to

(03:49):
be perhaps racist, was inophobic because they meaning other countries
pretty much every other country on the planet, at least
every other country that anybody wants to go to. They
take the approach of what can we do that is
of greatest benefit, what can we do that is of
greatest benefit for our people, not what can we do

(04:11):
that would make us seem the most charitable. The posturing
of Democrats on immigration is largely premise upon is largely
built upon America as a soup kitchen for the world's
needy and a job's program for those who are going
to need additional assistance. That's how Democrats approach this. Right,

(04:35):
we we are a place where anyone can seek shelter
from the storm of the rest of the world, which
sounds really nice, but when you're twenty trillion dollars in
debt and now running close to a trillion dollars a
year even under Republican president, and when you have a
political culture as well as just a culture, culture to
maintain an uphold when assimilation is supposed to be the

(04:59):
bed of your immigration policy, not a a series of
Balkanized mini states within the United States. That's when you
really need to stop and think, hold on what is
going on here? And when you hear what the left
is saying right now, it should be troubling to every American.

(05:20):
I mean, going into this mid term, understand that they
will be pushing for amnesty. They will be pushing for
that and nothing else on immigration. They do not want
to secure border. In fact, what the Obama administration accomplished
through really deceit in the second term. In obama second

(05:43):
term at the border was to appear to be acting
within some semblance of the law, but really to create
a massive, intentional open door policy for people who arrived
with children and then leave that problem for the Trump
administration to clean up and get yelled at and oh
my gosh, all the talking points come flying out about

(06:05):
how they're so you know, so mean, so cruel, so hartless.
There you're separating children. Oh but Obama separated children too,
Did you know that, No he didn't, Well, yes he did.
How many of the children that are showing up at
the border in fact, unaccompanying the first place. Where are
those parents? By the way, dude, you know, do we

(06:26):
ever get to address that component here? You're gonna send
your kid or allow your kid to travel through Mexico unaccompanied,
perhaps enlist the services of a coyote, a human trafficker
to get them into the country, putting children. I mean,
this is child and danger mint folks. You don't hear
people saying that, do you. They're endangering children by allowing

(06:48):
them to do this at the border, and the United
States in our very I think undervalued in this moment.
Benevolence at the border is taking people in, feeding them,
clothing them, housing them, may king sure that they are
they have medical care. And we're now to be called
Nazis for this, and and I don't mean that that

(07:09):
I'm not exaggerating their exaggeration. They are saying this. As
I've told you before, my own boss, former boss at
the CIA, Mike Hayden, someone I knew to be a
pretty smart and squared away guy at the time, has
just lost it. He is suffering from Trump derangement syndrome,
tweeting out photos of concentration camps and saying that's what's

(07:31):
going on the border. But you see the problem with
the Democrats taking these positions and posing in this way
as some kind of moral champion without having to make
any difficult choices on immigration, is that they keep upping
the anti for each other as well. They will say
more and more inflammatory, inflammatory and untrue things about what's

(07:52):
really happening at the border. They will ramp up the
rhetoric about how Trump is a racist and a xenophobe,
and his policies are all out you know, keeping America
or making America white. And you know, this is what
they'll say, This is what the rhetoric turns into, and
nothing really sounds too crazy for them. Um. You know,

(08:12):
I didn't get a chance to mention this to you,
but there was a a play performed out in Los
Angeles last week where they had the It was the
Diary of Ann Frank, something I'm sure you're all familiar with,
right and Frank in Amsterdam. She was a Jewish teenager
who with her family was hiding from the Nazis and
wrote a diary and then I mean it does not

(08:35):
does not have a happy ending. Um. They did that
play in Los Angeles, but instead of Nazis, it was
ICE agents. How many of you have seen major news
coverage of what's going on in Portland last week. I've
talked to you about the encampment and the feces, and
the assaults on officers, the dock sing of ICE officers.

(08:57):
These are a tax on federal agents. Folks. You know,
we're all supposed to be worried about Jim Acosta as
he stares into the mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall.
Who is the handsomest Acosta of all? Oh? Man, I'm
just a journalist. Man, I'm just doing my job, trying
to speak truth to power. Sure, y'all, buddy, that's cute.
It's a clever, little little pose you've taken. We're supposed

(09:20):
to be worried about the civility towards Acosta. Meanwhile, you've
got ICE officers being threatened and menaced and harassed for
doing their jobs in Portland, Oregon, very little media coverage
of this. You have journalists being assaulted for covering the
insanity of the anti ICE protests because they don't want

(09:40):
people to really know the truth. They just want to
share it on their own little anarchist live streams, and
we will get into some more of the rhetoric that
we're hearing from people, um the Morning Joe Show, which
I just I would be wondering at some point other
than uh, you know, hair products and pastel sweaters, Like

(10:05):
what does Joe Scarborough stand for right now? I don't know.
I couldn't tell you what the answer is, other than
it feels like he stands for Joe Scarborough. I don't
know the man. I just know his work. Never met him,
never talked to him, don't care to. But you know
he doesn't care to talk to me. Who cares? Uh?
But his work is embarrassing these days on television. I

(10:27):
see what's going on there, and you know, others call him,
have have cute names for him, which I can't repeat
because it's their name for him, not mine. But he
had on his show a professor who has who is
making here? It sounds like to me some kind of
comparison between slavery, the issue of slavery, and Ice putting

(10:49):
this on the same moral plane. You've got to hear
this play clip three. I want to ask a question
about the moral crisis that Ice has put the nation
at particularly eighteen fifty there was the Fugitive Slave Law.
And because the Fugitive Slave Law did what it did,
suddenly the issue of slavery was nationalized. It wasn't just
in the South. Now, it was a moral question that
even Emerson had to confront in Massachusetts. So now we

(11:12):
have Ice, the crisis of Ice. We have people trying
to protect their family members from being snatched from them,
this fear that you talked about. How has ice, this
two increase of jail transfers, the increase in the rest,
How has this created a kind of moral crisis that
is nationalized now, a nationalized moral crisis on the same plane,

(11:35):
or at least spoken of in the same paragraph as slavery.
That's what you're hearing now on cable news shows with
supposed experts and political analysts. I've got an idea. If
you don't want to be separated from your family at
the border, don't illegally cross into the United States at
the border. You know, this is what they What they

(11:58):
don't tell you is that a a majority of the
people who are being first of all, the majority of
the youths in detention by immigrations and Customs enforcement are
arriving unaccompanied. You don't hear that many places, do you
not exactly great parenting going on in some of these situations,
is there, but you know, not allowed to say that.
And then when you add to it that they're crossing

(12:19):
illegally in the country. It's illegal for anyone to cross
outside of a port of entry. They're trying, folks to
sneak in, getting caught and then saying, yeah, I want asylum,
Give me asylum, because I've been told that if you say, oh,
my country is too violent, I might get asylum here.
Why don't we even have an immigration pology to show
up save it from Central America and say that you

(12:40):
want asylum? You don't. How many do you have any
papers and documents? Not I don't have any because you
know MS thir team stole them from me. Oh, I
guess we have to let you into the country and
hopefully we'll see you in five years for your court date.
That is the reality of immigration at the southern border
right now. You might say to yourself, a buck that
doesn't see and like much of a policy at all.

(13:02):
And also, are we allowed to have There's some fundamental
philosophical questions that democrats do not get pushed on, and
I keep saying that this is the conversation we should
really have. I want to ask democrats who can't squirm
out of answering it, who should who who shouldn't be
allowed to stay in this country. I want to know

(13:22):
what what person that's arrived in the United States in
the last year and and is illegal in this country
they would be okay with us sending home? Is it
just rapists and murderers that are they're allowed to be
expelled from the country because if that is how they feel,
then they are officially for open borders. How many of

(13:43):
you even saw the headline from DHS that you had
six hundred thousand visa overstays last year alone. Now a
good portion of those are students, but a lot of
them aren't. And by the way those students, maybe some
of them decide they just want to stay as well.
But for those who aren't students, those who come here

(14:06):
and decide to just blend into the rest of the
country and forget about the fact that they're not allowed
to be here as permanent residents. Think of how easy
this is if six hundred thousand visa overstays came to
the country last year, and you start adding this up,
let's say only a fraction of them planning to stay forever. Well,
that's at least maybe let's call it a hundred two

(14:28):
hundred thousand a year that are just and they're not
coming through the southern border. They're just flying in staying,
which is also why I'm sorry, I do not believe
the number eleven million. They've kept it the same for
as long as they have because they realize that the
American people knew the full extent of what has happened
in this country with illegal immigration, they would freak out,

(14:49):
and rightly so it's more like fifteen to twenty million.
And I've argued with some immigration hawks on this, but
it just doesn't make sense. I'm sorry. People are not
going back to Mexico by the million ends. It's not happening.
And when you look at the numbers, you've got hundreds
and hundreds of thousands of illegal crossings year in and
year out. They're not illegal crossing because they, you know,

(15:09):
want to make a quick trip to Costco. Democrats do
not have answers. They have moral postures. They are unwilling
to be pushed on these issues to to give real answers,
because if they were sharing their real answers with the
American people there, we would there be a political revolt
against them. Well, you're just I've even gotten We've got

(15:33):
so much more here from what they've been saying about Ice,
and there's just craziness, folks. So we're really gonna dive
in immigration this hour. By the way, my friend Ben
Weinarten will be joining us later on the show. He's
done some great work on Feinstein and her ties to China.
So and we've also got David Harsan you joining and
we'll talk to him about d platforming and these First

(15:53):
Amendment battles. So I might talk to him and then
come back to some of this immigration stuff. Yeah, I
got a lot. Here's I like it when I get
to just determine what matters instead of, oh, here's a
blaring headline. We in the hut, my friends, we'd like
to roll up the sleeves and take Okam's razor like
a chainsawt of the nonsense. We'll be right back as sent.

(16:18):
You wary city, Yeah, assent, you wary city. Yeah, assent
you wary city. Yeah, that's the mayor of Philadelphia. We
played there for a couple of times. You could really
hear it. Jim Kenny, who is who is who is
literally dancing in that clip and you could hear him
singing excited, how excited he is that Philadelphia is a

(16:41):
sanctuary city. And you know, as as people like like
this guy, who are supposed to be government officials who
first and foremost will protect their constituents, keep in mind
that this is what this is what the other side
of a sanctuary city is. Here is DHS Secretary of

(17:02):
Kyrsten Nielsen on what happened in Philadelphia recently, playlip five.
It could have been prevented, and it should have been prevented.
We owe the American people better. I mean, this is
a perfect example of when jurisdictions decide not to cooperate
with federal law enforcement, we put our communities at risk.
I mean, what that required was that the men and

(17:23):
women of DHS go back into community at their own
risk and the risk of the community where the criminal
is to try to reinterdict and detain that person. Yeah,
that's right. So what she's referring to is a is
a child rapist there, a child rapist who because Philadelphia

(17:44):
is a sanctuary city, was able to slip through the cracks.
Here's the story on Fox News, the Justice Department highlighted
the case of child rapist wand Ramon Vasquez, who just
pleaded guilty to illegal re entry. The illegal immigrant from
Honduras previously was in Philadelphia custody on local charges back
but when those charges were dropped a year later, city

(18:04):
officials ignored an ice detainer. Vasquez was later arrested and
convicted for raping a child and unlawful sexual contact with
a minor. He's been serving between eight and twenty years
in prison. So Philadelphia decided to be a sanctuary city.
And Philadelphia on top of that, now I should have

(18:27):
on its conscience, the mayor Kennedy should have on their
conscience that they released as a matter of policy, is
one Ramone Vasquez instead of honoring a federal law enforcement
request to hey, hold on that guy, We're coming to
get him. Is no, no, no, Let's let him go
folks because they are a sanctuary city, right you heard
that guy. They're so excited about it. It's such a

(18:48):
great thing. And that criminal raped a little girl afterwards,
something that will want her for the rest of her
life and her family and those who love her and
those around her. But you know, we're a nation of immigrants,
right like we we shouldn't actually obey federal law. This

(19:12):
is what we were up against. Liberals who are un
serious about what immigration policy really is. They're un serious
about rule of law, and they do not care about
the negative side effects of their open arms, open door,
open borders policy because it makes them feel good, you see,
because they're not the ones that stuffer the consequences, and

(19:34):
they get to act like they just care so much.
And if you don't agree with them, well that's because,
my friends, because you're not nice like they are. He's

(19:55):
holding the line for America, Buck Sexton his back team.
I want to take a quick break from talking about
immigration and switched to the fight for the First Amendment,
which is underway right now in ways that I think
people are just beginning to grasp. We've got somebody's been
very thoughtful on this issue. And uh, I didn't even
say on the front lines of the fight for First

(20:16):
Amendment freedom. It's a lot of literation. Though. David Harsani
is with us. He is a senior senior writer at
the federalist and also the author of First Freedom Arrived
through America's enduring history with the gun. David, great to
have you. Thanks for having me. Always a pleasure. So
you've got this piece. I caught my attention right today.
Social media giants shouldn't be arbiters of appropriate speech. Um,

(20:40):
you know, I I would love to think that this
is gonna catch on, David, but I'm really worried that
liberals have now awoken to the power they have, that
the wokenus is going to be something that is now
pushing the social media platforms to just start playing favorites
and you and I know that conservatives are gonna lose
this one, right, I mean, and that's why it's complicated.

(21:03):
I mean, if you believe in a lot of people
in my Twitter feed and elsewhere, I hear you know,
arguing that we should you know that Twitter and Google
and uh, you know, Facebook or like utilities and they
need to be fair. And it reminds me of sort
of the fairness doctrine or something like that. I think
it's a bad idea because in the end, liberals always
use the power of the state better than conservatives, and
you're gonna end up losing that. That's besides the whole

(21:25):
idea of having the state involved in speech in the
first place. Um. On the other hand, we already see
the sort of thing going on where liberals, for instance,
go after the n r A. You know, if you
start calling people terrorists and then you ask Apple to
take them off their platform, then it's it's really what
you're doing, Alex Jones and so forth. I'm not comparing
Alex Jones to the n r A. I'm saying that
liberals compare them to each other. And that's the problem.

(21:47):
They they conflate those two sorts of things because in
the end they really want to go after mainstream conservatives
and and this whole notion of conversational health. By the way,
No Dorsey, who's the CEO of Twitter. He's been kind
later to this one than some of the others, but
he's the the quote conversational health guy. Either. That's if
that catches on, that's a terrifying phrase. Yeah, I mean,

(22:10):
you know, it's you know, there's this thing where where,
for instance, let's just say anti semitism, so I'm Jewish,
I get some of that on Twitter, and you know,
we start treating words as if it's the same thing
as someone not giving me a job because I'm Jewish. Here,
I'm saying, we treat you, know, so you can hear
something bad and you can push the mute button or
the block button. Um, I don't, you know. I just

(22:32):
don't understand why we start when, or when we started
treating speech as if it was some kind of assault
or terrorism. I'm sorry, I get offended quite often. I
just turn it off or muted or or or just
deal with it. We've become this nation where we can't
hear anything we don't like. I don't. I've never clicked
on an info war Zounds Jones link in my life,
I don't think. And my life was going on fine.

(22:52):
I don't really care about him or that channel, but
I do care that that we're going to have billionaire
CEOs deciding what speech is acceptable for people to hear.
I mean, they can do it, but I don't. I
just don't think it's the right thing because then now
they put themselves into a position where they have to
sort of be adjudicate every kind of word and speech
and in sight and and it just seems like a

(23:14):
slippery slope. Even though I know that's sort of cliche. Well,
I I keep saying, or keep seeing rather these notifications
that fellow conservatives get for essentially a complaint being lodged
against them, and they'll show the tweet and they'll show
the message from Twitter, and to me, I mean, this
is just it's a it's intimidation. I mean, it's it's
obviously just meant to to put people on notice that

(23:37):
you know, we're gonna try, We're gonna keep taking shots
at your ability to be on these platforms if you're
a conservative, even if they're frivolous, until we hit one
and knock you off. And that's going to be in
the back of your mind every time you want to
share a thought on something right. And you know, and
in some sense, your livelihood or many people's livelihood, is
tied to their social media presence. And then if you

(23:57):
can threaten that, you can sort of cow the mento
not saying things that they might believe. Um, And it's
just a bad you know, it's just a bad future.
And I think at least Conning, you know, we also
hear so much about David about how Russian interference in
the election, and you know, I think you've been very
sober minded about this. You know, some people have just
completely lost their minds, including some conservatives that I that

(24:19):
I like as people, but just think they something's really happened,
like they've had a break with reality. But when you
look at at how how minimal that was in terms
of the actual that the amount of Facebook accounts that
we're really getting viewed and the amount of dollars spent
on Facebook ads and stuff, and then you compare it
to you've got a bunch of yeah, they're they're they're companies.
These are the private sector, at the public sector, but

(24:39):
you've got a bunch of companies run by essentially evangelist progressives,
I mean really on social issues, hardcore progressives who are
not only able to influence the conversation, they can do
it in ways that we don't even get to know about.
It can all be based on algorithms and kind of
obscure terms of service. You know what happened if you

(25:00):
lose that debate with Twitter when they take away your
entire account. The answer is you've got nothing right and
it's it is scary, and you know, going back to
the to the whole Russian thing. I you know, I'm
of two minds. I care very much that Russia tries
to meddle in our election. I also don't care very
much that they're doing it because it doesn't affect my
life at all. I vote anyway. I want hearing something

(25:23):
or seeing something. They're a mind control raised and the
idea that we should be you know, so you know
that that they're stealing an election because they have you know,
spent and adds to Facebook. I mean, it's just laughable,
and they know it's laughable. In my opinion, I think
some people have lost their minds. I think a lot
of these people are just cynical and know what they're doing.
As far as Twitter, again, I mean, it's it's a

(25:44):
dangerous thing here. I I believe in let's say, free
markets and capitalism. I believe that they'll be if if
you push people out, there'll be on a marketplace and
someone else will uh create something for them. But Twitter
has become such a sort of wide ranging uh platform,
especially for people in in in the political world, that
it is kind of scary. So hopefully, because there are

(26:06):
many conservatives in the world, Twitter won't scare them away.
But I think that that's why I worry that just
even taking a step towards you know, this Alex Jones
thing and deep platforming him is on YouTube for instance,
this problem because um, not because Alex Jones is a conservative,
but because these people call everyone white supremacist liberals. So
to them, that was my next that was my next

(26:29):
point to you, David. And it's it's like you're it's
like you're, you know, living rent free in my head already. Yeah, man,
you're you're already on the inside here. I just gotta
tell you. I can't help but notice that this whole
movement of deep platforming speech equals violence, which will also
hear a lot, especially in the campus speech debates. But
speech is tantamount to or equals violence. Deep platforming is

(26:51):
a legitimate form of uh, you know of essentially, you know,
disapproving of somebody's words or thoughts. And also the expansion
of the term white supremacist to essentially include anything that
would upset people in the comments section of Daily Co's
or the Huffington Post. I mean, white supremacy has been

(27:11):
expanded beyond recognition now as a term. I don't think
that's an accident. It's not an accident. They've been doing
this for years. I mean, they've been conflating on purpose
mainstream conservative views, which are are are liberal, small l
and mostly um you know about the Constitution, about smaller government,
what have you with, you know, fascism, nazi whatever, racism,

(27:32):
white supremacy, and so of course if if they're getting
rid of hate speech, that that would be next. I mean,
I've you have writers in Slate or The New Yorker
who accused every Trump voter of being a white supremacist
or motivated by race. Um. But it's funny to me
in a sense, or is ironic at least, that anyone
who says that speech is violence is basically peddling an

(27:55):
authoritarian idea because one speech is violence. You can limit
speech because violence is something that's illegal and hurts others.
Or you can use violence, as anti FUA does in
response to speech you don't like, because they've already started
the violence. Right. So it's a dangerous and it's actually
a very stupid idea, But mostly it's an authoritarian idea,
and that leads leads to two people being able to

(28:17):
to ban speech and and and create you know, hate
speech laws and all kinds of ridiculous things that not
only undermine free expression, but but but are used to
just silence people that you don't like. And that's exactly
what they're doing. Now. Another thing they do that people
don't talk about so often is that by calling everyone
a white supremacist, they're actually giving cover to real white supremacists,

(28:37):
which I think are a small, very small fringe group.
But still you're giving them cover. And meanwhile, you're not
even talking about the other side, which has plenty of
its own, you know, radicals and extremists. Yeah, I think
that this is This is also one moment where I say,
there there are all these I know about them. They're
all these they were going to do these kind of
retrospect is. And people are talking a bit about the

(28:58):
one year anniversary of Charlottesville, and I think there's just
a permit given for this another you know, white nationalist
rally or whatever the case, whatever they're calling it. And
these are losers. Nobody likes them, they can't get jobs anywhere,
they're reviled. Their safety is under real threat whenever they
appear in public. But we're supposed to think that this
is a threat to the American body politics. I mean

(29:19):
It's just it's just exaggerated nonsense. I mean, yeah, there's
what every listen. They can't get a few hundred people
nationally together one one time in Portland lately everyone was
I have fifty people showed up. It is so ridiculous.
You know, they the media or the mainstream media gives
them so much attention that it blows you know, they

(29:42):
they're scaremongering with the attention that they give this small group. Meanwhile,
they ignore that there you know, are far con lovers
leading the Women's March movement. That doesn't matter. But these
few no knicks in Charlottesville wherever they're gonna be next,
are going to be given so much attention that it's
it's it's preposterous. Why because they want to make it
seem like you know, Trump has has sort of you know,

(30:04):
given cover to this movement and allows them to exist
because he said something stupid once. It's just it's really
demented and skewed, and it really you know, I'm sure
there are people walking around and you know in in
liberal city, you know, a liberal city somewhere who actually
believe that out in in America there are a bunch
of Nazis walking around all the time. This is a
little a little bit of a of a switch up, David.
Before we let you go, and everyone, by the way,

(30:26):
check out David's book, you know, an Amazon first freedom
Ride through America's enduring history with the gun. Uh, David,
are you a little surprised at the at the Acosta
ing of the media meeting that you've got all these
journalists now, who are just you know, Oh, I'm just
so under threat, you know, I'm hearing people just say like,
oh my gosh, I received a death threat recently, which

(30:47):
is bad. But like every conservative I know has received
death threats. I've received threats from people like this is
not some like what is this all of a sudden? Yeah,
first amount is very important, except people can't jure a
reporter in the First Amendment becomes a threat to their safety.
Of course, I don't want anything to happen to any reporters,
but I think they seem to forget that a Bernie
fan tried to take out the entire Republican leadership in

(31:07):
a baseball field in Alexandria not long ago. And treating
political violence or the threat of it as if as
if lest the journalists see themselves as soldiers is a movement,
and uh, they're so sanctimonious about it that people are
sick of it. So they in Acosta, for instance, who
acts like, you know, I don't know, like like he's
the story all the time. He can't be surprised when

(31:29):
people making the story, you know. So yeah, I mean
you know why, because the incentive for journalists now is
not to be a good journalist whose name isn't doesn't appear.
The incentive is and then you listen, I'm a pundant,
so I get it. But the incentive is to have
an opinion, and they do more and more openly because
that makes them stars. And they're in our little universe here.
And do you think do you think that the that

(31:51):
the It's not just CNN, but that's the one that
comes to mind the most. I think, actually they're they're
the Washington Post in New York Times. Also in this
category of of we are a nonpartisan, objective news organization,
that model instead of just saying, look like we're a
liberal paper or we're a liberal network or whatever. Do
you think that that's finally going away? I see the
first real cracks in this. Yeah, I mean, I hope.

(32:14):
So for a long time I've advocated that people should
just be open about their political uh positions or where
they stand ideologically, because we can just read their stuff.
It doesn't make it untrue, it doesn't make it wrong.
It might even make it right. Or in the sense
that I know where you're coming from, I know who
you're after, and there's nothing wrong with that. And this way,
we can have reporters on staff if you want that

(32:35):
even that out, or we can have newspapers that you
want that even that out. For instance, you know, the
Koch brothers or whoever. All these big donors get tons
of money to politicians and two movements into think tanks.
They should be buying media outlets and newspapers and evening
out the media bias, and we should just be open
about it. When I was growing up, we bought newspapers.
We knew what every newspaper was really about, right and uh, well,

(32:57):
I mean I had I had Raheemed Kassama last week.
Who's Who's British and he's just like in the UK,
you know, the newspapers are affiliated with specific political parties.
I mean, it's it's not it wasn't it that way
in at the found and you know in the right
America was that way as well. I mean, but it
was much worse than it is today. Even so, Yeah,
it's crazy anyway, it's I don't know if it's healthier,
but I think that this is not working this way

(33:18):
because it is not good for the Republic. It's not
good for our democratic institutions to have a media that's
not trusted by most people. I agree, David Harsani. Everybody
check out as late ast the Federalist. David, thanks for
stopping by the Freedom Hunt. Thanks for having me same.
We have a much more common went a little along there.
I do want to finish up our discussion about immigration.
We've also got some updates on the situation with the

(33:38):
Mullard probe, and we'll talk a little Maniford. Although you know,
I keep saying the manaphort things not as interesting as
people want to pretend it is. Got a phenomenal deep
dive coming up with Ben Weingarten about China spy ties
to Diane fine Stein. You are going to want to
stick around for that. I'm telling you won't hear it
anywhere else, and it's really important stuff. We'll be right back.

(34:11):
It's time to hear from one of the dumbest governors
in America, perhaps in the history of America, which is
a place that has a history. Governor Cuomo on Ice,
play clip fall, please, I will do nothing cooperatively with ICE.
I have sent sent them letters asking for an investigation.

(34:33):
I have said if they do any criminal acts which
a police force can do, we will take criminal action
against ICE because I believe they are politically motivated. I mean,
this guy's is not just a moral but he's scary.
He is This is the governor, folks, who is the
top law enforcement official of one of the biggest, most

(34:54):
important states in the country, at least economically speaking. Um,
who is its actually threatening federal law enforcement officers just
saying you know, I got my eyes on you. What
do you ever say this about the FBI? Mean FBI
guys would be like, really, Cuomo, you want to you
want us to look at some of your associates, You
want to look at some of your dealings. Go look
at the Moreland Commission, folks. There's a whole corruption commission

(35:16):
set up in New York State that just kind of
got shut down. What happened? Oh? It was getting a
little too close to home. Didn't wasn't allowed to finish.
It wasn't allowed to finish. But but Cuomo is so
shameless that he is not just willing to throw Ice
under the bus here, He's willing to go beyond that
and threaten them, like he will have state troopers. First

(35:40):
of all, I mean, I know law enforcement, It's the
last thing in the world they want to do. Is
you know, he'd have a mutiny on his hands. Okay,
there's no way, but he makes it sound like he's
gonna have state troopers going and kick down the door
of an ICE office. And you know, really cause a
problem here, folks, because what they're doing is politically motivated.
They are carrying out the law. You imbecile. How is

(36:03):
it politically motivated? What what does that even mean? And
you know, when you have somebody of Cuomo's stature taking
this kind of tone, the downstream effects. I mean, anybody
listening would have to think, Wow, this guy, this guy
is is is Look, he's what he's saying is dangerous.

(36:25):
Why would other people, Why would constituents in his home
state of New York I think that Ice is to
be trusted or to be taken seriously. You know this,
this demonization of of immigration enforcement in this country is
is really it's really disgraceful, and it reminds me so

(36:45):
much of what was going on with the Black Lives
Matter movement? Wherefore reasons of political convenience Democrats and the media.
But I repeat myself, we're running with this just false
and destructive narrative that American police officer is black, white,
any color you could think of our racists who murder
black men for sport. That was the narrative. They can

(37:06):
tell you that it was about reforming police. But I
was there, man, I heard what was going on. That's
not true. And now it's a immigrations and customs enforcement
are you know Nazis hunting down people. It's just appalling.
The FBI says that home title FAFT is one of
the fastest growing crimes out there. And look, you've got
to brace yourself because if you've ever had your credit

(37:27):
card stolen, it is nothing compared to the hell you're
in floor once an identity thief takes control of your
home's title. You know, everything is stored online these days,
including your home's title, and that means the bad guys
can get to you and get to it just through
cyber means, all right, Domestic and international bad guys they
hunt down American homeowners because they know we've got a
lot of equity in our homes. I saw a an

(37:49):
example of this where they walked me through how easy
it would be for the bad guys to steal my
family homes title and take loans against it. Folks, it
is chilling how quickly it is of they can be
done for just pennies a day. Home title Lock protects

I wanted to take some calls in the last hour,
but I got a little carried away talking to David Harsani.
I've always really liked Harsani he's a good guy. You know.

(38:57):
He worked at The Blaze for a short while. Actually,
I remember for that, and he kind of did a
little early mentoring in my editorial writing career. He's he's
just a good dude, very very smart guy and very
humble about it. Um. But I went along with him
and we had some calls up, so I wanted to
get to them because the lines lit up because I know,
you guys, we care about immigration, right, you don't care
that much about manifests ostrich coat although it was really ugly,

(39:22):
you don't producing Marke I gotta tell you about. And
I'm gonna feel a little wimpy telling you this a
little story for you guys. So as you know, I
love milk, Okay, I think of myself as something of
a milk kind of store. Um. I have told you
some truisms like soy milk is something that you should
not even clean your bathtub with. And in the words

(39:43):
of Ron Swanson, skim milk is water that is lying
about being milk. Go whole, whole or nothing, baby, you know.
And if your lactose intolerant, okay, I'll make some exceptions.
Almond or coconut are acceptable. But those are juices, not milks.
If we're gonna be although actually I think coconut, maybe
I throw a flag on that. We'll see. But there's
a guy in my office can name names. Somebody I

(40:06):
know in the in the office building will say it's
broadening out a little bit, and he drinks raw milk.
And I'm thinking to myself, this has got to be
like the dom peri yon of milk, that the good stuff,
you know, the the top tier. This is the top
shelf of milk because it is unpasteurized and unhomogenized, and

(40:29):
you know, straight from the cow baby, straight from the utter.
And I'm a city as you know, I'm a city slicker.
I'm a city boy, and I think I figure, you
know what I've got, I've got years and years of
whole milk drinking under my belt. I'll even you know what,
I'm not gonna lie to you folks. Sometimes I even
but a little bit of half and half in a
cup and have a little bit of that. You know
what I mean? You only live once. Maybe I'm not
gonna live that long because of cholesterol and fat, but

(40:51):
nonetheless you only live once. So I this guy would
say for us you want to you want to try it,
And I also don't want to make to see him like,
you know, it's not like he's holding out his holding
out his trench coat and saying, you know, I got
the good stuff, you know, the raw milk. You know
what do you need? I got what you need, the
raw milk. So I said, all right, I'm not gonna

(41:12):
be a whimp about this, and I drink and dude,
I had I had some raw milk. I'm gonna tell
you something. It was delicious. It was incredible. It was
kind of almost like drinking yogurt, but it tasted like milk,
and it was so good. And now my stomach has
been making noises and cramping and things all day. I mean,

(41:32):
it's not it's not Montezuma's revenge. It's like Amish Gunderson's revenge. Man,
I am proof. It's rough. Yeah, I learned my lesson. Dude,
I learned my lesson. Buck buck needs pasteurized, and him iaginized,
I can't. I can't handle the real stuff. Man. I'm
a little disappointed to myself. So that was my one
and only experiment with drinking drinking raw milk straight from

(41:55):
the utter. I mean, I was thinking that after this
I would be like, yeah, heading out to the farm myself,
learned how to do it my own two hands. Nope, nope,
give me the give me the mass produced stuff right
out of you know, right out of cost car or whatever.
That's how I wanted. All right. That was That was
my little adventure with raw milk for the day. Folks.
I don't know if if any of you have had
it differently. Good for you. I'm gonna get all these
I'm gonna get all these faceic messages. By the way,

(42:16):
you're such a whimp city boy, and you know what,
maybe that's true. But I gave it a shot, folks.
I gave it a shot. All right. We got Lonnie
in West Virginia on the line. What's up, Lonnie? OHI botch,
How you doing, brother? I'm good man. Good to hear
from you. Hey. Um, you know, if I if I
knowingly harvard a fugitive for somebody that was run up

(42:39):
from the law, I'll be arrested. What I not? I
believe so harboring a fugitive is in factor. So Governor
Cuomo and all these mayors of these cities do knowingly
let fugitives go or people that I said I have
to be request Why can't they be arrested? Why can't
we send somebody in there. Uh now it's gonna stick.

(43:02):
But put the cups on him, take him out and
show him. You can't do that. You're under the list,
you knowingly. But the fugitives or somebody who broke the law, well,
you know, there have been some enforcement actions. I forget him,
what states, but ICE has gone into a few places
in the last twenty four hours to go after employers,

(43:26):
and uh, you know I I I think that that's
a step in the right direction, because you gotta go
after employers too. But I mean to your point about
sanctuary city jurisdictions, Lonnie, there are you are you heard
the government new York. He's threatening just put to sick
his law enforcement, you know, his essentially use his police
powers in the state of New York against federal law enforcement.

(43:49):
This is crazy. I can't do that. Who's got the
upper hands state? You know? I mean, I don't agains.
It depends on the circumstances here. I mean in terms
of who's got the upper in terms of the law,
it's obviously the federal that you know, the FEDS do here.
Immigration is the province of the federal government. I mean,
that's just well understood. There's really no question about that, um.

(44:09):
But to try and impede, I mean, you're right, this
does start to feel, Lonnie. You're getting to a very
important point here. It starts to feel more than just
disrespect for the rule of law and lawlessness to actually
being criminal obstruction of the law. You know, and what
we hear about, oh Trump tweeted this or Trump free that.
At what point is a federal law or a state uh,

(44:30):
you know, state politician threatening to use law enforce and
power or threaten or for example, tipping off illegals that
there's a raid coming. At what point is that actually criminal?
At what point is that obstruction? If you start to
want to ask these questions at least so, I think
you raise a very interesting one. I don't have a
clear answer for you, but I appreciate you calling in
my friend, and you're fired up about it. I am too.

(44:51):
Thank you. Lonnie West Virginia dex In texts also known
as San Antonio, Texas dex what's up, hey, when you
come down here to Texas, why don't you get yourself
a pair of those Ostrich boots. You can buy them
there in Austin when you get there. I like that idea. Anyway,
That's about what I called. UM. I called to let
you know that back in the seventies, Uh, the New

(45:15):
York State tried to disarm US park police, which are
different than park rangers, are actually seederal law enforcement officers,
and they were using the Sullivan Act as their justification,
which has been around since plot Nan King eleven or so.
And UH. They failed. They failed miserably because the US
law enforcement officers had premises over state and local or

(45:36):
primacy however you want to call it. Uh. And so
they failed miserably in court. But it did go to court.
I didn't. That's a very interesting back story. I do
know a bit about the Sulivan Act, because it's the
reason why if you're called with an ilegal firem in
New York you're facing mandatory prison time, which sucks. But yeah,
I I don't know that backstory. That's really interesting. I

(45:57):
believe it. By the way, I mean, New York is
is final aratically. New York City is fanatically anti gun.
New York City is so anti gun decks that and
I feel badly for people I know in the NYPD
who have had to do this, because you know, they're
carrying out orders, but they should never be given this order.
New York has um has arrested people who were transiting

(46:17):
via flight through New York City if they're connecting, flight
was canceled and they had to un check and then
re check a handgun. All of us have been illegally
by the way, they have arrested people for a legal
handgun position possession of New York City because they did
not have a New York City permit while they were
transitting through the airport. They've actually done that. I mean,

(46:38):
that's how bad they are on this issue. So I
can believe that they would go after you know, everybody
and anybody including I want to look up the backstory here.
Why why were they trying to disarm part police? By
the way, what was the rationale? Well, okay, the rationale
was mostly New York City, was well right, that's where
that's where all the bad because in the rest of
New York State, by the way, you know, you can
have a shotgun, you could have a rifle. It's really

(46:58):
New York City where they're just gun free zone wannabees, right.
What they what they had was the park police were
transiting back and forth from UH Liberty Island where the
Statue of Liberty is in the harbor. But that's the
only part there that is actually U S Park, UH
Service Land, and so they were arguing that you could

(47:18):
not have your weapon when you were off the park.
But because they are federal law enforcement officers, their jurisdiction
extends to all fifty states and the territories of the
United States, So it doesn't matter where they are, they
still have jurisdiction and their four authority. And so it
ultimately it ended up I think going to federal court,
even to the Apollo Court. I don't think New York

(47:40):
took it to the Supreme Court. But they lost, they
lost miserably. And uh so the Sullivan Act was for
that aspect of it. They could not enforce it on
UH federal law enforcement. But think if they've been successful there,
then they could have said the same thing about U. S. Marshals, right, yeah,
or or you know, FBI if they weren't on federal premises,

(48:00):
if they weren't on federal land and you know, in
some capacity or in a federal office. Then then they
could force them to be disarmed too. It's crazy, but
by the you know, decks, that was actually what now
I think about it. D C v Heller was about
a guy who was licensed, I believe as a security
guard to carry a firearm in d C but wasn't
allowed to bring it to his home. So that's how

(48:21):
crazy some of these That's how crazy some of these
situations got Dex shields. Ye, always a great call man,
Thanks for calling in, very very very eloquent, very good
radio voice too. I feel like Dex must in a
former life, or maybe in a future life, that would
be a radio host for Scott. Scott guy's got pipes,
as we say in the business, des got game. Uh.
Julie in Clarksville, Tennessee. Hello, Julie, hey buck she'll hie hey,

(48:49):
I hear you had some tummy troubles. Raw milk just
not sit with me the way I thought I would.
You know, tough stuff. It was cow milk right? Oh yeah, yeah,
it was from mook. I gotta care for you. What
goat milk? Raw? Goat milk? Really is it? Why is that?
Just like less? Well? But why is the goat milk better.

(49:12):
I mean, I actually like the taste of goat milk
a lot. Well, we raised dairy goats and that's all
we drink, and it's got a smaller milk molecule and
it's great for people who are lactose intolerant. We swear
by it. That's really yeah, give it. I will tell you.
My grandparents had a place in in in the Hudson Valley,

(49:34):
New York, and right down from them was a goat farm.
And when I was a kid, I get so excited
in the springtime to go down and try to try
to hang out with the baby baby goats are awesome.
Like I always wanted a baby goat as a pet,
but I didn't really wanted to grow up. And apparently
you can't just have them when their babies. They grow up.
They do grow up, but they have quite a personality.
And if you grew up, if they grew up with

(49:55):
you around them, they're still they're like they're like dogs,
they're rate and yeah, and it really you won't you
won't be like um, being difficult to be around, because
I'm sure you're your full pleasantries today. Yeah I'm not great.
I'm trying to I'm trying to keep it all together here.
But Julie, thank you for calling it, thanks for the advice,

(50:17):
and as we said, shield Tie, I gotta talk to
you more about so. I know we ran the we
ran some calls in there. I know there's more coming in,
but let me um. I want to get to actually
my my old colleague, uh well, an old colleague of mine.
It's something very interesting. I've been talking about these uh
anti ice protests out in Portland. Someone's covering them. Finally

(50:38):
we'll get to that, and then perhaps a bit on
the you. I'm trying to stay away from the Mulla
probe stuff because I feel like it's I feel like
it's so overplayed and overdone. There's some little updates we
might get to, but you know, I'm not just running
off into that if i can avoid it. And the
stuff I've got for you with Ben Weingarten on China
and fine Stein's ties to China. I you know, there's

(50:58):
some days where I can tell you I just don't
think you're gonna hear this anywhere else, and then it's
really important, really interesting, uh really interesting stuff. So that'll
be right at the top of the third hour. So
with that eight four four to eight to five eight
four four nine hundred buck, don't forget freedom on podcast.
We're planning to release one tomorrow. It would be very exciting.

(51:19):

(52:46):
from The Blaze, Tommy Laren, was out in Portland's and
she was asking questions, you know, about this Occupy ICE protests.
Remember they they've they've dusted off the old Occupy political
mob ballization effort. Remember Occupy Wall Street and then Occupy
this and Occupy that and occupy all this different stuff.

(53:07):
And you know, Tommy Laren was out there asking what
to the residents of Portland's think about what Occupy ICE
has been doing. Which remember this is the one that
has you know, feces and needles and all this stuff.
And they're camping out outside of an Immigrations and Customs
Enforcement Office. There's been violence, there's been anti fuss stuff

(53:29):
going on here. It's a mess, a mess, journalists attack,
very little news coverage of this. Here's what the Here
the answers that Tommy was able to get play nineteen.
I don't know if you've seen the last couple of weeks,
but your city has been kind of home to some protesting,
some controversy, a lot of surrounding. Your mayor and you
occupy ICE movement. Familiar with any of that? What do
you think about it? I think that they should be

(53:52):
able to protest. Do you think that Portland's got more
militants in the last year two years? I'll just say crazy, crazy.
We have a real from with immigration. There's no simple
answers here. Do you think that abolishing ICE is a
step in the right direction. I think we have to
look at our entire immigration policy. Our policy has failed.
Do you think that the protesting on either side has

(54:14):
gotten out of hand for sure? What do you think
it's about. Do you think it's about really standing up
for rights or is it about getting attention? What do
you think the goal? I don't know. I think people
have like a lot of personal events. We want to
be like personal warriors or something and social justice warriors
maybe for sure on both sides though Fox News, Yeah
you're eater two but I'm nice. Doesn't matter your honey,

(54:36):
I don't care. You just don't like Fox News. No,
but this Fox News is nothing but a budget capitalist sides.
There you go Portland. I mean, I know they've got
out of town or the Unfortunately, the only views that
are being projected out your extremist views, and so you
get extremist reactions, and that's why you get extreme behavior

(54:56):
of people coming up to you and clipping you off.
Do you think a lot of the people in Portland
are miss informed us to what Ice actually does. They
just think about the kids coming over with the law
or whatever. They don't think about the corruption that's coming
in the drug dealers. Go to any of the occupied
ICE protests, depending on what my work there, you go.

(55:18):
So look, not a lot of not a lot of
insightful answers there from the residents of Bortland. But I'm
just amazed that anybody who's asked, do you think that
I should be abolished doesn't immediately jump out and say,
uh no, that's that's moronic, right. People will you know,
immigration possis failed, and uh, you know, I got to

(55:38):
sit down with the the head of Border Patrol and
the interview was going to air tomorrow and she has
just been named today. She was acting head. Now she's
the head of Border Patrol and is the first ever
female to hold that hold that position. And it's a
really good interview. I mean, go check it out at
hill dot TV, Slash Rising. It'll be on tomorrow morning.

(56:01):
But I was able to ask her, um. I was
able to ask her about a lot of things that
you're gonna want to hear the details of. But one
that really sticks out is I said, will you've been
in border patrol? And she says, she's worked under four
different presidents, right, so some presidents last eight years, so
you know a long time. It's been decades in border patrol.

(56:22):
And this woman is all about law enforcement. I mean
you'll see she is straight up l e top to bottom.
And I said, you you know, you hear about the
wall and people keep saying that a wall will not work.
What do you say, You've been on the border doing
border patrol work for twenty some odd years and without

(56:44):
missing a beach. She goes, you know, it will very much,
very much. Uh, the wall will will help. I mean,
no question, a wall will help. So how is it
that all these journal types can run and saying, Oh,
we're all so dumb. It's not gonna help anything. Let's
not gonna holp Anything's like all the experts say, all
the experts say, a wall, it's not gonna help. Okay, Well,

(57:06):
here is a pretty high level expert who has spent
her whole career on this issue, and she didn't say,
like a wall, I'm not sure and then not really
clear to me. It depends on how you do it.
Is it a barrier, Bobby blah? No, she says a
wall will help, So what's the delay all about that? Right?

(57:26):
And and then why you know this is where I
get to what is really fake news? Then, folks? How
comes so many media outlets are able to get away
with peddling this narrative that everyone basically agrees except Trump
and the crazy Trump supporters that a wall won't do anything.
The head of Border Patrol on TV on My show,
looking at me with no uncertainty whatsoever, says a wall

(57:47):
will help a lot. So why haven't we built a
wall yet? Why won't Congress fund this. They have nowhere
answers for you. You know, Congress is about his articulate
on immigration. For the most part of some of those
people in Portland's we're just like gal like whatever depends
on what work is, Like Occupy Ice. It's such insanity.

(58:08):
We've got much more team. Stay with me. He's back
with you now, because when it comes to the fight
for truth, the fuck never stops. Let's a call from
John in Atlanta. Hey, John, Hey, what's up buddy? Yes, sir,

(58:34):
podcast Minion checking in. All right, good to hear from you.
Thank you, Good to talk to you. So. Um, I
was gonna talk about the press being the enemy of
the people, but we were just talking about with ice
and border crossings and everything. It made me. It reminded
me of a point that I always wanted to make
to you, which is this. This might sound hyperbolic, but
the people are advocating for the open borders and not

(58:57):
separating you know, children from a parents. You can make
good taste that they're basically advocating child rape, right. And
I know that sounds hyperbolic, but here's why. If you
you know how stats work with the FBI, Like when
you look at a murder rate, it's whatever, it's five
point five per hundred thousand in the United States. Yeah, okay,

(59:19):
so the rape rate in a place like Condors is
probably forty per hundred thousands or maybe, I mean, I
have no idea, but okay, okay, So where are we
going somewhere around it? Well, the children, the girls that
get transported by these coyotes, the rape rate is somewhere around.

(59:42):
It's very high. There's a lot of sexual abuse by
the coyotes against part against female miners. That's true. Yeah, right, right,
So it's that is not even the highest rates in Honduras.
Don't approach that. So by offering the incentive for them
to get across the border and maybe get in and
not have any kind of a wa all, you're basically
putting them at a rate of potential rape that's probably

(01:00:04):
a thousand times higher than what it would be in
a place like I mean, I've got I I'm kind
of following you here, but I also want to I don't.
I mean, you're you're just pulling numbers, and I have
no idea if those sounds high to me, But I
don't know, and I wish I had had a chance
to ask the Border Patrol chief about this one. Uh,
And I think it's important that we advocate. There's a
difference between putting somebody in position where they're at a

(01:00:28):
higher risk for something and and also advocating specifically for
that thing to happen to them. So I do think
we need to separate those two things. But so you're
saying that by by creating this look, But Obama and
his team thought they were doing the the you know,
the warmhearted thing and also the politically very expedient thing,

(01:00:50):
which I think is much bigger than the warmhearted part
of it, by allowing anybody with a child to come
to the U. S. Border and basically say let me in.
I got a kid and we're fleeing something. And that
has led to a whole lot more both kids, unaccompanied
and accompanied miners coming to the border, and some of
those unaccompanied kids in particular have been subjected to sexual abuse,

(01:01:13):
which that's been documented too. So yeah, there are those
are the unintended but very nasty and terrible consequences of
the lawlessness really that the Obama administration was pushing for.
So is that I mean, am I touching on all
the areas of this that you're trying to hit her.
Am I missing something? No? I think you are. The

(01:01:33):
number I got a seventies. I believe that came from
an amnesty in the National Report, So I'm not pulling
it out of the thin air. It's somewhere in that
range and you can look it up. But the other
thing is this. Do you know the woman with the
daughter that was photoshopped on the Time magazine next to
Trump as if she was separated. Yeah, of course, yeah
she was. She wasn't separated. No, No, she spent about

(01:01:57):
five thousand dollars, right, yeah, uh, okay, you pay a
county five thousand dollars. Now, let's do the currency conversion
of what a person in the United States makes in
a given a year versus what someone in Honduras makes.
So when of that five thousand dollars translates to like
maybe thirty five or forty thousand for an American citizens. Now,
if if there's a wall and a much stronger presence

(01:02:19):
on the border, you are now disincentivized from spending that
kind of money. That's right. And the money, the money
is only worth it if you have a very The
money is only worth it if you have a very
high expectation that you will successfully get in the United States,
which is why the money, which is why these guys
are getting paid. By the way, I would also like
to add into this, John, that this has led to

(01:02:40):
hundreds of millions of dollars, by any calculation, going directly
into the hands of vicious Mexican drug cartels that are
involved in human smuggling, child sexual predation, UH smuggling heroin
and fentinel into American communities that are killing thousands and
thousands of people. So that's another unintended or set and
dairy consequence of this whole pipeline of illegals essentially coming

(01:03:05):
into the country. But John, I gotta leave it there
for now. I do appreciate you calling in. Um, let's
get to uh, you know, I spent much time this. Yeah,
I'm actually thinking we're gonna go Mueller free today. I
don't really think there's much well almost Mueller free. Maybe
I I overpromised with that one, but I think that
there's not much need to get into Muller's Mueller case today.

(01:03:26):
I think it's just so overdone. You know that. MSNBC
last night, Matt out I saw some commentary and this,
and I want to check it out for myself. I look,
I don't get I don't get the whole MSNBC stick
in general, but matt Ow in particular likes to do
this thing where it's, yeah, I have this thing, it's
this amazing thing. And Stephen Colbert actually made fun of

(01:03:47):
her for it last night, although he you know, when
liberals make fun of liberals, it's always like, but he's
making fun of each other with love. But she does this,
She does have this whole like I have in my hand,
the most amazing document. It's the most amazing thing. Once
you see it, it will change your world. And then
you know, she does that for like twenty minutes and
then you're like, this is an interesting you know, this
document sucks. She did that with Trump's tax returns. That

(01:04:08):
was the really famous time. But she also had this
whole thing last night with Devin you know, Devin Newness,
when he's at a private fundraiser, well actually say things
that are critical of Donald Trump. Yeah, so so what
who cares? Devin Newness, you know, said that he thinks
Trump's tweets sometimes there aren't so great. Uh. They try

(01:04:31):
to make this see him like it's a scandal. Folks,
the things that Newness was saying at this fundraiser, Well,
of course you're not progressive surreptitiously tape people, you know,
because they're scummy and underhanded, and that's what they do.
And look, but it's fine. Any congressman who's got three
brain cells to rub together knows that if you're in
any kind of a public four, we gotta assume you're
being taped. Right, what you're saying, you have to assume
somebody may be taping it. You're not saying crazy. But

(01:04:54):
they were trying to make it seem like it was
such a big deal. That's because they hate Newness. They
have there's a little bit of of a second you know,
there's Trump de arrangement center, but then there's also the
secondary order effects secondary effects of that where people in
Trump's orbit also that there's a derangement that people have
towards them, and you know, there's kind of a little

(01:05:14):
a B Team Newness derangement syndrome, you know, a JV
level derangement syndrome, and that's on display because here's what
was said at this event where you know, and this
is madow. Oh my gosh, when you hear Newness criticizing Trump,
it's going to rock your world. It's like, no, it's
not here, play at play clips sixteen. So there, so

(01:05:37):
it's like your class catch Trump to situation where Ready
puts us in such a tough president, which is really
the days that's five by the way, I mean, we

(01:05:57):
have to keep all we have the he's saying, we
gotta keep the majority. I know you can hear that
the plates clanking with the silver, which is always I've
given speeches at luncheon's. That's always the problem. You gotta
clink clink, clink, clink clink, and especially with the audio,
it's drives you mad if you want to ever listen

(01:06:17):
to it afterwards. But so Noonas is saying, yeah, we
we gotta we gotta protect, we gotta protect the majority
in the House because the only way they're ever gonna
get any answers about what really has going on with
the Muller probe. And also that the first we know
there's the Democrat there're been a little quiet about it
now that they're being a little coy, a little sly
because they know that if Trump doesn't have a House

(01:06:41):
a Republican majority, they're gonna impeach them, but they're being
quiet about it right now because they'd rather run these
kind of stealth Democrat candidates and the Connor Lamb model. Yeah,
you know, I I served in the military and and
personally pro life, and but I'm gonna vote Nancy Pelosi

(01:07:01):
nine percent of the time and I'm a pro union, leftist,
redistributionist Democrat. You know that's what you get going on. Oh,
you know, I care more about the middle class and healthcare.
And but I really I asked, you think that Bernie
Sanders has got some great ideas. That's the kind of
Democrat candidate they want to run, and they don't want
the Republican base. Two really have it at front of

(01:07:23):
their minds that impeachment is what's gonna follow here if
Trump does not have a majority in the House to
protect him. So, but I just I listened to I
thought there must have been oh my gosh, Nudas must
have said something bad. Matter has secret audio from a
progressive activist that is gone to blow your mind. No

(01:07:44):
it doesn't, it's not import at all. It didn't matter
one bit. Uh And all right, I said, no, mother's stuff.
But there's one thing. There's one thing I wanted to
throw in here, which is that I like the Rudy's
out there making the case. I don't know if he's
the best lawyer to handle this, but he's probably the
best spokesman to handle this in many ways. Here's Rudy
said about the Mueller inventor. I know a little Muller

(01:08:05):
stuff for real quick place seven. What do we need
to know? That this is a totally illegitimate investigation based
on a report, a dossier that was paid for by
Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. Probably the biggest illegality so far,
the biggest collusions so far, completely made up, completely made up,

(01:08:30):
uh led to nothing except several fraudulent fighter wires. I've
never been involved in in an investigation on either side
that's more illegitimate than this one. Where's a sense of
justice on the part of Mueller, on the part of
the Justice Department. And at some point you got to

(01:08:50):
say the irregularities, the double standard, the way in which
people who hate Trump will put into primary positions of
our yep, I let Rudy have the last word on
that for today. We'll be right back. They can play
politics all they want. What we know is it was
a bad deal. We wanted to get out of the deal,
and we did that. And now they're paying the price

(01:09:13):
by one having all of the business that they were
getting with all of the countries in the European Union
and otherwise to drop, but they're also getting the sanctions,
which is going to suffocate them. The goal of the
Trump administration is to pull out of a lousy deal
with a single purpose in mind is to create a
much better deal. And that's what this is all about.
So we're imposing sanctions on the Iranians in a way

(01:09:35):
that we had once before when we had the initial
deal in place before the nuclear deal. Tough sanctions. Here's
what I think is going to happen. Listen, these sanctions
will really take its toll on the Iranians. The du
was trying to keep their countries in this thing. They
used intimidation and coercion. But at the end of the day,

(01:09:57):
I mean, seriously, Iran's economy is four billion dollars U
s economy is has just tapped twenty trillion. Are these
countries really gonna continue to ron and lose that trading
with the United States? Which the Trump administration is fully
prepared to do. Look, Iran has a choice to make,

(01:10:17):
and this is what the Trump administration is forcing on them.
And the choices not get all the goodies and keep
your nuclear program. The choice is verifiable end to all
nuclear program and related material and activity, and a change
in aggressive belligerent behavior. I mean, folks, the Iranians have

(01:10:37):
us blood on their hands. They have the blood of
our service members on their hands. They just to show
chaos and just be destructive, just be sadists. We're sending
e f p s, exposedly formed penetrators across the border
from Iran into Iraq and puncturing the holes of our
armored vehicles and maiming and killing our soldiers in Iraq.

(01:10:58):
We're trying to stabilize that hell hole. Alright, So the
I mean, the Iranian regime isn't just sponsoring terror in
some vague sense. They have the blood of American service
members on their hands. And enough is enough with these
enough is enough with this tyranny in this country, Okay,
in in in the Iranian state, we need to finally

(01:11:20):
demand that they change course or we're just gonna bring
their economy to its knees. We were doing that by
the way, Obama threw them a lifeline. Obama decided that
it was better to work with the Iranians than to
force the Iranians to stop doing the bad things they

(01:11:40):
were doing, you know, I mean with with Obama, it
was always you know, he's got he's got the best
hand in the world in the sense that he sits
down at the poker table with the American military at
his back. He sits down as the commander in chief
of the most fearsome and awesome military machine on the planet,
the biggest economy in the history of the world, and
he's like, Oh, what can I do to make you?
Guy is happy? No, that is not how he should

(01:12:02):
have been negotiating. I also want to talk to you
about what's going on in Iran, I mean in Yemen.
So Yemen is the biggest humanitarian crisis in the world
right now. I've talked to you a bit about it
here in the show. It doesn't get much attention. I know,
Yemen is far off and not a place that you
necessarily think is going to be hind the list of
US national security concerns, but it does have a very

(01:12:25):
active al kind of franchise, one that has tried to
target US aviation of the past, one that has I've
been very active in what we call external external terrorist plotting,
which means coming after us and our allies anywhere and
everywhere around the world. Um and and now Yemen is
finally in the headlines because of a terrible tragedy. Here's
the reporting on it from New York Times. An air

(01:12:46):
strike from the Saudi led coalition struck a school bus
in northern Yemen on Thursday and killed dozens of people,
many of them children, according to local medical officials. Uh
the attack sent a flood of victims to overwhelm the
hospital struggling to cope, and what the United Nations can
ssiders one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The coalitionstead
it had hit missile launchers and called the attack a
legitimate military operation, but the attack and the justification for

(01:13:09):
it were condemned and drew new attention to the tremendous
human toll of the war in Yemen. Yeah, this war
is grinding on. It's it's terrible. We are backing the
saudiast here and the Saudias are engaged in this air
campaign and they're they're essentially the air force for the
recognized National Government of Yemen. But it's a complete mess.

(01:13:30):
And and this is where I have to say, you know,
with all the sanctimony you hear from journalists, I would
want to say, especially from the you know, the MSNBC,
CNN network News corridor, I want to know, why are
we not hearing more about Yemen? Why haven't they been
leading news broadcast with this story. If they really do

(01:13:51):
care about U. S Foreign policy, which based on what
we saw at Helsinki and Trump, oh my gosh, if
they really care about humanitarian goals and to stop up
suffering or at least limits suffering, and to bring public
attention to crises, you might have millions of people starving
to death in eighteen folks. I mean, this is right now,
this is real, and you they still are just gonna

(01:14:14):
run all these stories about Stormy Daniels and Avanati and
all this other crap. So much sanctimony from these journals,
And I guess they would say, if you really push them, well, buck,
you know, we have to cover stories that get ratings. Well,
if you're covering stories because it's about ratings and not
about your mission, not about telling us what what is

(01:14:35):
really important in the world. You don't get to then
hold yourselves up as the guardians of truth. You don't
get to talk about the necessary role you play in
informing the public based on what is necessary for them.
You're just an entertainment outlet. You're an entertainment outlet that's
posing as something else. And I think that the Yemen

(01:14:57):
stories yet another time when we could stop and say
to ourselves, you know what, they can be posers as
much as they want, but we don't have to go
along with the pretense that their objective journals anymore, because
they'd much rather tell us about Stormy and Avanati than
about the massive humanitarian crisis that has continuing to unfold
in Yemen. Our three coming up here, we've got to

(01:15:19):
talk about China and the connections to Finstein and the
spy that was near her. We've got that and uh
much more, Teams, so stay with me. It's all about
China infiltrating the office of a very powerful democrat in
Diane Feinstein. It turns out her longtime staff for Russell Lowe,
who was a driver then also liaison to the Asian

(01:15:39):
American community in California visited relatives overseas several years ago
and became acquainted on the trip with someone who was
connected to the People's Republic of China's Ministry of State Security.
Five years ago, FBI it Didn't showed up at Finstein's
office in d C and revealed her staffer was under
investigation for possibly spying for China. So why haven't you

(01:16:02):
heard a lot more about this? I know that was
a little Fox News audio right that was at Henry
over at Fox talking about Diane fine Stein's Chinese spy
who was driving around for twenty years or so. You're
not hearing much about this. Well, we've got somebody who
wants to dive into this with us and uh talk
a bit about what's really going on here. We have

(01:16:23):
Ben wine Garden with us. He is the host of
The Big Ideas podcast with Ben Weinegarten, also a senior
contributor at the Federalists's got a piece up there right now,
Senator Diane fine Steins ties to China go way deeper
than an alleged office spy. Mr Weingarten, good to have you, sir,
fuck It's always a pleasure, and thanks so much for
having me. Ben and I were colleagues the Blaze. By

(01:16:44):
the way, he was one of the very smart people there.
So I'm glad that he's still willing to be my
friend later on because it makes me feel like I
must have been one of the smart people there too. Ben,
let's get into my friend. What what's going on here
with fine stunt? Yeah, So this story about the alleged
Chinese spy Russell Lowe really caught my eye because we
talk all the time. The narrative is all about Russian meadowing,

(01:17:07):
and there's no doubt that Russian intelligence is devious and
they do all sorts of things to try to subvert us,
try to influence people, etcetera. But China's security apparatus and
their intelligence apparatus also poses a massive threat. One of
the things that's not really talked about during the Obama
years the fact that there was a hack of the
Office of Personnel Management, the US government documentation on over

(01:17:30):
twenty million federal employees and applicants for federal jobs. And
basically what China did was they stole all of the
most sensitive information that people put in their applications so
that the government can actually vet their backgrounds and see
if they could potentially be compromised by a foreign power.
This is something that you know well based upon your
experience and intelligence. China also destroyed America's spying network essentially

(01:17:56):
on their soil during the two thousand tens. So we're
great disadvantage intelligence wise with China. And here you have
the attempt, and it seems like an actual Chinese buy in.
Diane fine Stein employee employee as of five years ago.
She had worked with him for twenty years. Most recently
it appears he was listed as an office director. So

(01:18:18):
it's not just not just some driver. But oh, by
the way, even if it was just a driver, he
could do a hell of a lot of damage because
Diane Finstein was the chairman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee,
which means she had access and she was dealing daily
for several years with the most sensitive, classified, top secret
kind of information which poses a massive threat to US.

(01:18:39):
So when I heard this story, what I wanted to
do was look at what further ties does fine Stein
have to China? And what I found was just staggering. Now,
there there's some there's some stuff here that I think
also people need to need to hear for for background.
I mean, you start off your piece on the federals
here with quote I sometimes say that in my last life,

(01:19:01):
maybe I was Chinese and quote that's from Senator Diane
fin Stein. She's got some deep ties and advocacy when
it comes to Communist China. Yeah, absolutely unbelievable. So when
I started digging into fine Stein's Chinese background to see
if this was just one isolated attempt, what I found
were three major things. One, Diane Finstein and her husband

(01:19:23):
have been tied very closely to the most senior ranks
of the Chinese Communist Party for the last forty years,
basically since we opened diplomatic relations with China. Number Two,
fine Stein, in terms of her political positions, has taken
a very pro China policy in terms of expanding trade
and allowing them to enter all of the different commercial

(01:19:45):
bodies that have allowed China and enabled China to become
a dominant economic power. At the same time, she's taken
a very devish position when it comes to military relations
to China, and she's apologized in the most sickening of
ways for China as human rights violations, trying to whitewash
things like Tienamen Square for example, just horrific. But then

(01:20:05):
the last piece to all of this, which really ties
it together, is the fact that Einstein's husband, who is
a very very successful investor, perhaps not coincidentally, has seen
his investments in China swell, and that's swelling, that appreciation
and the profits associated with those investments have occurred alongside
his wife taking a very pro Chinese position. And oh,

(01:20:28):
by the way, he's had access to the very senior
members of the Chinese Communist Party that she has had,
because he's taken many trips with her over the years
to meet with dignitaries on the Chinese side. So you
have the potentially a spy, you have very pro Chinese policy,
and then you have a massive business conflict of interest.
So this could potentially be a real collusion story. And

(01:20:49):
I don't want to politicize it in that way, but
it's a broader problem than any one administration or any
one senator. Then you write in his piece, very good piece,
and the Federalist that I would recommend to anybody who's
got time to read up on this. For the last
forty years, no politician in America has arguably maintained a deeper,
more longstanding, and friendlier relationship with China at the highest

(01:21:11):
levels of its ruling Communist Party than fine Stein. It
dates back to the opening of US Chinese diplomatic relations
in ninety nine. And I feel like nobody knows this.
I mean, you know you're writing this, and I'm glad
you're getting the word out here, but this is not
a part of the coverage. It's like, oh, some Chinese
guy that was kind of near fin Stein, you know,
nb D. That's really what the media vibe is on this.

(01:21:32):
It is really amazing. And that relationship started when San
Francisco entered into what's called a sister city relationship with Shanghai,
so basically they opened up diplomatic relations, started to open
up some commercial relations, and fine Stein was the one
who spearheaded that because she was the mayor of San
Francisco in the way seventies or rather early eighties, the

(01:21:53):
mayor of Shanghai at that time, so her counterpart is
an official is less. His name is jangs Amen. He
ended up rising from Mayor of Shanghai to ultimately Premier
General Secretary of the Communist Party, so essentially the equivalent
of Jijinping. He held three of the top leadership positions

(01:22:14):
you could have in the Communist Party, so he was,
for all intense purposes, the leader of China subsequently in
his career, and Diane Feinstein maintained very close relationships to
him throughout that rise. She served as an intermediary between
the Bill Clinton White House and the Chinese when Jang's
Amen was leading as a Premier of China. So she

(01:22:35):
has been tied to the most senior levels for a
long time. And what's staggering when you start to look
at the history is that she talks seemingly in glowing
terms about how she was invited to China, she and
her husband and was one of the first people to
die in the room that Mao z A Dong died
in and lived in, as if that's some great accomplishment. Oh,
by the way, these are an enemy power. Essentially, mauz

(01:22:57):
Dong was a mass murderer, so what you know, the
fact that she didn't potentially see that they were sort
of buttering her up and working her over these years
apparently is kind of an amazing thing. And there's also
writing about how, you know, she invited Jang's aim In
when he was mayored to San Francisco, had him over
for Thanksgiving, apparently was dancing with him. And this is

(01:23:18):
really reminiscent of something that the Soviet Union did. The
Soviet Union allegedly had ted Kennedy to a Soviet wedding
that was staged and took pictures of him dancing and
celebrating with Soviet counterparts. It's a very similar thing, a
parallel between the Russians and the Chinese. And it's all
right out there. I mean, this is open source. I

(01:23:40):
saite articles from the l A Times from nine nine seven,
two thousand. The list goes on and on in terms
of these connections, and it's just a very troubling, more
than troubling, disturbing thing when you see a U. S.
Senator so close to people in the highest ranks of
an adversarial Chinese Communist party and need. One part of

(01:24:00):
this ben that I want to highlight for folks is
that if you're a U. S. Senator, and you're a U. S.
Senator who sits on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence,
which means that you have oversight of the intelligence community,
so you essentially have access to anything that you want
in the intel community. I mean, you know you cannot.
I know this from what I was in the c
I A. You can lie to a senator if they

(01:24:20):
ask you, you can say we can't talk about this here.
But if you're behind closed doors they ask you, you
gotta tell them, right, I mean, if you if you're
in in a classified setting and there is no background
investigation of senators people, I don't think people know this.
The President and senators get clearance by virtue of the
votes given them by the American people. There is no

(01:24:41):
background check on a senator. There is no uh inherent
counter intelligence check on a sitting US senator. They are
considered to have clearance by virtue of the office. So
think about that firm. It's it's not just like she's
a senior government official who's had a five year reoccurring
background investigation and access to sified. She's somebody who nobody

(01:25:02):
was allowed to look into all this time, and given
her very powerful position on the Democratic Party. I'm willing
to bet bend that. You know, when you see the
way that they used any opportunity with Carter Page to
get a counterintelligence investigation going against Trump associates, including Trump
himself really by virtue of his connections, and then what's
going on here with Diane Feinstein. I'm sorry, this stinks. Look,

(01:25:27):
I mean if you read the order calling for the
convening of the Special Council, and you read the language
and it talks about looking for any links and orchies
coordination between in that case, the Trump team and the Russians, Well,
have you applied the same language to all the links
ties coordination between Diane Feinstein, her staffers, and the Chinese government.

(01:25:51):
Then that Special Council would run for ten years. I mean,
it would be never ending, because you're talking about someone
who's had relationships with these senior dignitaries on the Chinese
side for forty years. I mean, it's it's amazing how
deep it runs. And there's even a Clinton tie into
this Bill Clinton tie in, which is, as your listeners
surely know, in n there was there was an investigation

(01:26:15):
into illegal Chinese financing of democratic campaigns in an attempt
to influence the campaigns. This has been written up, i
think in the Wall Street Journal pretty recently as uh
kind of Bill Clinton's Russia. So there was illegal financing
from Chinese individuals linked to senior members of the Communist
Party and an attempt to influence Bill Clinton and the

(01:26:37):
DNC more broadly. And what do you know, one of
those people who was convicted, one of the biggest bundwers,
raised three million dollars for the d n C and
they gave half of it back because they weren't comfortable
with the source that it ultimately came from. And this
individual was convicted on raising these funds for felony campaign
final finance violations. He was actually one of the people

(01:26:58):
who attended a fundraiser at the House in n of
none other than Diane Feinstein. It was Feinstein, Bill Clinton
and one of the people associated with that, And the
FBI had warned Diane Feinstein that the Chinese might try
to make campaign contributions to influence her. This is back
in nine she was told this by the FBI. So

(01:27:19):
there's a long story here, a lot of details that
I lay out and try to do so in a
systematic fashion in this article. And I think this is
just the tip of the iceberg, because this is just
reporting on open source information that's out there that anyone
would want to investigate. If there was a Chinese spy
potentially close to someone as senior as Diane Feinstein, or

(01:27:40):
anyone in the federal government for that matter. Ben, really
first class deep dive that you've pulled together here with
this piece. Everyone should check it out. We'll share it
also on Facebook, the Federalist dot com where you go
for its Senator Diane Feinstein's ties to China go way
deeper than alleged office spy. Uh. Then, really appreciate you

(01:29:30):
do you want to spend a lot of my tax
money on these proposals that you and Bernie have? Medicare
for all, college, maybe even housing? How do you pay?
How do you sell it? So, first of all, the
thing that we need to realize is people talk about
the sticker shock of Medicare for all. They do not
talk about the sticker shock of our of the cost
of our existing system. Medicare for All is actually much more,

(01:29:52):
is actually much cheaper than the current system that we
pay right now. And let's not forget that. The reason
that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act is
because they ruled that each of these monthly payments that
everyday Americans make is a tax. And so while it
may not seem like we pay that tax on April
fifte we pay it every single month, or we do

(01:30:13):
pay a tax season if we don't buy, uh, you know,
these plans off of the exchange. So we're paying for
this system. We Americans have the sticker shock of healthcare
as it is. And we're also not talking about is
why aren't we incorporating the cost of all the funeral
expenses of those who die because they can't afford access
to healthcare? That is part of the cost of our system. Yeah, like,

(01:30:35):
why are you not talking about like the cost of funerals,
because like those flyer bouquets are like super expensive and
oh my gosh, So I was drinking a non fat
story latte watching Chris Hayes on MSNBC, and I was
just like that funeral expense that my friends friends great
grandmother had was like so expensive, and it's like an

(01:30:56):
expense that we should think about with healthcare because like
you know, like the big like the thing where you
put the person when they're dead is like really expensive. Folks. Folks,
you know, I'm actually starting to feel I've actually started
to feel a little bad for me that the Democrats
have put forward this Occasio Cortez lady as the hope

(01:31:19):
of their party. This is this is what they've got
for us going forward. Here, this is who they offer
up to to change one five of the U. S economy.
Everything that she said essentially makes no sense. Her whole
thing about Obamacare and the tax, Yeah, you pay that
if you're in the individual market and you choose not

(01:31:40):
to buy insurance. And oh, by the way, Republicans have
wiped this away, right, so you know what when she
says you're you're paying it every month, it's not clear
what she's talking about. And everybody who's done any study
of not just medicare or healthcare, but basic market forces
will tell you that when people have access to whatever

(01:32:02):
they want, if something, they will over use it and
they will over tax the system, in this case, the
health care system, by just saying yeah, you know, I'll
use more of this. I'll go see the specialist right away.
I'll have this, you know, I'll choose to have this, uh,
this surgery sooner, or I'll you know, all these different
things that come on people go to Look. I told

(01:32:24):
you that's true. And I was in the er trying
to get my eye fixed and people were in there
getting eyeglasses in the r What are you What are
you doing in here? Oh? Okay, it's a first line
of care. I see what's going on. So I was.
I am amazed that she goes on air and says
the things that she says, But maybe I shouldn't be
by the way. She was also asked about whether Pelosi

(01:32:46):
is the is the true leader of the Democratic Party.
Here is Here's what she said, sev you are to
be successful in the general. We don't want to get
ahead of ourselves. But if you win and you go
to Congress, there will be a leader of your caucus.
Her name is Nancy Pelosi. Do you recognize her as
the leader for the House Democrat? I think absolutely? Right now?

(01:33:10):
You know she she is, She is the leader of No, no,
she I mean um um speaker or rather leader Pelosi
hopefully um. You know, we'll see. She's a she's the
current leader of the party, and I think that the
party absolutely does have its leadership in the House. We
have our leadership in in the Senate as well. Would
you back Pelosi the leader and are in the House. Well,

(01:33:34):
I think again, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves.
As you mentioned, I gotta win my race first, but
we got to take a look at what's going on. Yeah,
like she's like the leader of the leadership and the
leadering of like the leader ishness of the House, and
like like leadering is like really hard for her, and
so like yeah, like I think that she's going to
like leaderize things like really, well, who folks not good?

(01:34:01):
Not good from the Democrats. I think Producer Mike secretly
has a soft spot for Acasio Cortez. No no thumbs down, please, dude.
I feel like I feel like you get her phone now. Yeah,
I feel like Producer Mike, we get her phone number
in the bar or not think twice about it. I'm
just putting that out there. I don't know Producer Mike's
got game ladies. All right, we are. We've got a

(01:34:21):
whole lot more to talk about, including Space Force, Space Force,
Party Tom excellent Space Force coming up. The essence of
the American character is to explore new horizons and to
tame new frontiers. But our destiny beyond the Earth is

(01:34:42):
not only a matter of national identity, but a matter
of national security. Is so important for our military, and
today we renew the President's call on the Congress of
the United States to invest in additional eight billion dollars
in our space security systems over the next five years.
The men and women in this department have also taken

(01:35:03):
historic steps to secure American leadership in space. At the
direction of Secretary Matters, the Department of Defense is fielding
a new generation of jam resistant GPS and communication satellites
and new missile warning satellites that are smaller, tougher, and
more maneuverable than ever before. You're only a beginning of
meeting the rising security threats our nation faces in space

(01:35:26):
today and in the future. As President Trump has said
in his words, it is not enough to merely have
an American presence in space. We must have American dominance
in space. And so we will Space Force. Yeah, US
Space Force. Man, it's gonna be amazing. Just when you

(01:35:49):
thought the Trump presidents he couldn't be any more awesome,
He's coming to you with Space Force also known as
the United States Space Command the Pentagon and veiled this,
unveiled the support And originally they said that the Space
Force should be under the purview of the Air Force.
But people say that the Air Force doesn't pay enough

(01:36:11):
attention to outer space because there's no golf courses and
out of space. Oh sorry, Air Force, just kidding, just kidding.
I know you're only allowed to make jokes if you're
actually in the service, uh, but I do hear even
when I was in I will tell you this, even
intelligence analysts make jokes about the Air Force. Sometimes we
don't make jokes about maybe Army or or Marines, but

(01:36:32):
occasionally make Air Force base jokes because the basis like, wow,
you guys have even nicer basis than us intel nerds, dude,
and we we've looked for where they put the cappuccino
machine right away. But I digress. So, look, the space
situation is is important. And I know I'm being a
little tongue in cheek about the whole thing. But this
is not this is not something that we can turn

(01:36:54):
a blind eye too. This isn't something that isn't gonna
become a much bigger she going for. We've we've we
got a lot of communications technology in space. We're using
satellites for all kinds of comp technology. We've been using
it for for surveillance purposes. We have the National Geospatial
Intelligence uh Center. Um, and you know there's there's some

(01:37:20):
very clear or the national did I say National Geospatial
National Ground Intelligence Center that's part of the h Army
Intelligence Security Command. Am I Am I wrong about the
geos whoops? National Ground Intelligence Center? All right? Whatever in JIC, Um,

(01:37:40):
maybe I got my I got my stuff wrong. Um. Anyway,
it's gonna get more. It's gonna become a bigger issue.
It's gonna become something that we're gonna have to be
looking at going forward. And I like the Trump is
on it. I like that is, you know, National Geospatial

(01:38:03):
Intelligence Agency. Yeah, all right, I thought I was sorry.
I stopp was like, my gosh, buck, have you been
out of the intel community that long? You can't even
can't even remember the names of these different places. The
truth is right now. Have you offered me if you
ever be a lot of money to come up with
all seventeen intel agencies. Off the top of my head,
I could do it, but I can't guarantee you I

(01:38:25):
could do it. I could probably do it, but I'm
not sure I could guarantee I could do it. And
there's some stuff like I n R at State Intelligence
and research like come on, you're not an intel agency,
get out of here. Subject matter experts at the State
Department doesn't count anyway. So this is what this is
what we got going forward. We've got the UM, We've

(01:38:45):
got the Space Force. Space Force, I gotta say, is
something that I'm excited about. We don't really know where
it's going. We just know that they're gonna be using
this for a whole bunch of very important plans go
for and eventually there will be war fighting that takes
place in space. I think that much is clear, and

(01:39:08):
I believe it. I c B M right goes up
into the upper atmosphere and satellites. Can you know, puop
you and shoot the I C B. I don't know.
I'm not a Once you start getting out of the
realm of counter terrorism, and counterinsurgency. I just read Ton
Clancy novels like everybody else. I don't really have a
particular expertise. I think that's come across the way I'm
talking to this. I'm just like Space Force. I just

(01:39:31):
want to be your force in space. I could do
this theme song, right, producer, Mike. I could do the
theme song myself like a one I'm a one man
band here, not just in terms of the radio show,
but it terms out everything space face. So yeah, man,
that's what I've That's what I've got going on. Um,
looking forward to hearing more about the Space Force, looking

(01:39:52):
forward to uh, understanding more of what the plan is
for for Trump and all the rest of them. Space
Force all the way. That's what Trump put that on Twitter.
All right, So I'm not just I'm not the only
one who's excited about this. It's gonna be fantastic. Okay, Yeah,
you know it has to go through Congress, wom wom.
I get it. Um, but you got Pentagon officials saying

(01:40:16):
that they will make this thing happen. So now this
will also lead us to have a bunch of big
nerd fights over what the best of the of the
Space epic series, whether it's Battlestar Galactica, UM, the various
Star Trek iterations, the various Star Wars movies, which is

(01:40:37):
the greatest of all time. I've had friends tell me
Battlestar Galactica is the greatest show ever, so I I
gotta watch it. I gotta embrace my inner nerd and
check out Battlestar Galactica because Space Force. That's right. It's
Roll called time. Everybody very exciting to get a chance
to chat with you about your thoughts, your things, all

(01:40:59):
of the above. And uh, don't forget to check out
last week's Freedom Hunt podcast. It was with Raheim Kassam.
We had a great discussion about lots and lots of stuff.
Um and yeah, Facebook dot com, slash buck sexon if
you want to be a part of Roll Call. First
up we have Roberto who writes Shield Time Buckman, which

(01:41:20):
is technically my name. I agree with the guy that
requested getting the Rising program as a podcast. Not everybody
has time to stare at that secure, smug looking face.
That's secure smugg loo can face. Roberto. We are working
on it, so thank you very much for that. We
are on it. Next up here is Jason, uh, Ghostbusters

(01:41:45):
was clearly the quote. Granted I've seen that movie a
hundred times, Phillis already got it. Indeed, Phillis beat you
to the punch, Jason, But thank you for writing in
none the less. Adam writes, bad producer Mike August eight
is missing an eye. Our producer, Mike, you're getting called out.
And let me now say before producer Mike throws something
at me, which would take a lot of elbow grease

(01:42:07):
because he's in New York and I'm in d c
Uh it was. It's just a tech glitch, has nothing
to do with Mike or the team here. The I
Heart platform for some reason didn't upload. Our podcasts should
be up now if it's from yesterday. If it is not,
let us know. And also it's why you always can
have the backup of Stitcher or SoundCloud. J J writes,

(01:42:28):
great show, can't call on lives. I have to listen
to podcast. But talking about the collusion, is there any
way you can dive into how much money the Mueller
Probe has spent on this investigation? Well, j J. The
Mueller Probe spent in the millions, probably over ten millions
at this point, although I don't know. I I understand
that it's frustrating for people because it's a waste of

(01:42:48):
taxpayer dollars. But I also would note in all in
all honesty, that complaining about the cost of the Muller
probe is probably in or even just pointing out the
cost of Muller probe is not effective as a means
of combating its excesses. This is a politically driven situation,
a politically driven investigation, and we should attack it on

(01:43:11):
the merits more than on the cost. I think so.
But if a fair question you ask, I just don't
know how effective it is. And if it's just a
curiosity question, then sure. If it's say, hey, this costs
a lot, We're gonna have a trillion dollar deficit next year, folks,
I don't think six million dollars is gonna matter all
that or ten million dollars gonna matter all that much
to it erin right, Oh my god, buck so easy.

(01:43:36):
Now stay close, stay close. That's right, it is Ghostbusters.
I know exactly what to do. That's stay close, stay close,
so exactly as I say, You're ready, ready, get never

(01:44:00):
gets old. Ghostbusters a truly truly timeless classic of American cinema. Okay, now,
who do we have here? Wayne? Wayne is also letting
you know the the August eighth show did not post
to I Heart Radio. But I'm er Wayne, I'm sorry
about that. I don't know what's going on with I Heart.

(01:44:21):
I don't know why it does not upload our podcast,
and we will fix it. But always remember you can
go on iTunes, or you can go on um stitcher
dot com and the show posts there as well. Bruce, right,
your show has rapidly become among my favorites. When you

(01:44:41):
start to tell liberals that call in to shut the
hell up, then you will have caught up to my favorite. Okay, Bruce,
A little bit different style for me, but thank you
very much for our writing in. Nonetheless, I do appreciate it.
Gentry whoa gentry? Oh here we go? Um? But enjoining
the new show, not so sure about your co host,

(01:45:02):
but she seems pleasant enough. I thought I would just
ask a quick question. I don't think i've heard you
addressed yet. Why are the Democrats losing their minds about
the Trump Tower meeting when the entire Russian collusion delusion
hinges upon information obtained from a foreign national if getting
info from a foreign national is this huge problem. Do
they not realize what the dossier is or do they

(01:45:24):
think that we're just also stupid that we forgot they
paid a brit to get supposed Russian intel on the
president Shields High Gentry, Uh, Gentry, you're you're correct? Where's it?
Gentry Gentry? You are correct, sir. And that's why they
were going to have to back off this narrative, you see,
that ran with it until we came up with the truth,
which was the only effective counter narrative that was needed here.

(01:45:46):
You can't think that getting information from foreign source is
okay for one candidate but not okay for the other.
It does not work that way. Um and uh mr
ms to gentry Gentry, thank you so much. William is
next here. Uh, your Navy seal guy Brandon is absolutely correct.

(01:46:08):
In combat, I always felt the fear afterwards. I guess
the adrenaline took over during the action. I did have
good friends that frozen fear during a firefight. I think
playing football, martial arts, wrestling, and swimming in the ocean
as a kid helped me, and Daddy taught me to
always throw the first punch. I'm afraid of heights, yet
I'm airborne. I'm afraid of spiders and all flying, stinging

(01:46:30):
insects and snakes, but I crawl under my house to
fix things. Conquering fear, You conquered fear, you have a show.
My biggest fear is public speaking, and and now I
do it every day. Fear is the greatest enemy. Facing
fear is what makes you an adult. It makes you
a great dad or mom, it makes you a great
business person. Well, William, that's a that's a really inspired

(01:46:50):
and powerful note from you, So thank you so much
for sending that into us here in the Hut. And yeah,
I look, I've told you many times before that I'm
out a nationally syndicated radio host who has who has been,
at different times given the biggest radio platforms in the
country for three hours at a time. Rush and Hannity

(01:47:12):
and Sean I'm sorry, and Glenn, Shan and Hanny are
the same person. Uh, but I'm somebody who had a
speech impediment growing up. So overcoming your fears is a
greatly empowering thing. Overcoming fear is something that will put
you in good stead for well, once you start doing it,

(01:47:33):
I think you want to do it more. And William
thank you for your service and thank you very much
for writing in Monica. Right, Hey Buck, great show. Gun
violence in Chicago. The left says the violence there is
due to adjacent cities and counties not having enough gun laws.
Of course, it is because of not enough control. Shields High, Yes, Monica,

(01:47:54):
I know. So you know in a city where guns
are banned, they say it's because of lacks gun laws
in surrounding counties. But in places like in entire states
like Vermont, for example, that have very lax gun laws,
there's almost no crime. Why is that? Why is Vermont
such an outlier? It's not just Vermont. There are some

(01:48:15):
other states you could point to as well. But if
it really is about the guns on gun control, why
are there states that have retive, relatively speaking, lacks gun
restrictions and very very few acts of violence. The left
does not have answers for this, my friends. They don't

(01:48:35):
even pretend to have answers for it. Kyle, next up here,
Hey Bucks, Shields High. I don't recall you hitting on
this specific angle, but do you suppose that the current
push by the left for free college is more of
an effort of massive indoctrination than just their usual half
baked wouldn't it be nice, if impractical policy. Think about it,

(01:48:56):
if you were offered free college, would you ever turn
that down? In of a trade school or on the
job training. It seems to me they have a specific
strategy in brainwashing countless more future collegiates. Is there any
merit in this observation? Thanks from Kyle near Seattle. Kyle,
I think you're onto something. I think that you're actually
making a various jew point here. Um, I don't think

(01:49:19):
it's a primary reason. I do think that they're just
the free stuff crowd really does just want free stuff.
But I also believe that if you were to um
ask them, would they prefer to have a lot of
people in four year, very expensive undergraduate programs funded by
the state. The answers, of course yes, because college campuses

(01:49:41):
are in fact largely indoctrination centers for left wing ideology
in this country, the same way that public schools have
been for a long time, although not as much because
of the local control of some public schools. But the
Department of Education has been pushing leftist lines for a very,
very a long time. So I think you're making a

(01:50:02):
very good point, and without my friends, I'm gonna close
up the Freedom Hut for this episode. Please do share
it with a friend. The more you guys can do
to spread this show by word of mouth, the more
successful and the more we will continue to to grow.
So that the biggest compliment you can give is to say, hey,
you should check out this podcast by this guy Buck Sexton.
I think you'd really enjoy it. So those of you

(01:50:24):
who have a chance to do that, I do appreciate it.
Thank you so much. Tomorrow we're gonna have a freestyle Friday.
Going to be a fantastic show and uh, I'm looking
forward to it already, teams, So until then, She'll tie.
When you're hiring somebody for your business or leasing out
of property that you own, you've got to make sure
that the people that are coming into your world have

(01:50:44):
clean criminal background history, have a clean employment history, and
also are going to bring all the skills and all
the things to you that they say that they will. Right,
you need somebody that can check up on all that,
