(00:42):

is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence mag
noorma stake American Rank, You're a great American again. The
Buck Sexton Show begins Sectivated Analysts, Luck sext no welcome,

(01:03):
Welcome team Buck. Great to be here with you. The
Buck Sexton Show is a live from n y C.
I missed you all on Friday. I missed getting a
chance to chat with you here in the Freedom Hunt.
As is our custom. I had a great trip though
out on the West Coast, talking a little more about
my thoughts on on how it all. Uh went a
lot of a lot of sweeten nothings to say about

(01:25):
San Diego. You know l l A is cool too.
You just gotta get used to some traffic. But la
is very nice place. Great restaurants, had some really good
food out there. So anyway, it was a really good
trip and handle some important business for all things all
things HUT related here. Um, we've got some some big
stuff you get to today and we might even have
some more updates for you on what happened in what

(01:50):
happened in Toronto, because that was just a few hours
before we came on the air. I wanted to start
though with the waffle house shooting that happened over over
the weekend because there there's a lot a lot going
on here. I mean, look, the you gotta start with
the bad, right He had four people killed here. So

(02:10):
it's a mass shooting in a waffle house restaurant in
Tennessee over the weekend. Travis Ryan King twenty nine in
custody in custody right now, and uh, they're looking at
what could have been done to stop this. Now, this

(02:32):
guy went in with an a R fifteen and started
shooting in a waffle house. He was also, I believe,
just wearing a coat and was naked under other than that, right,
So this guy walks in basically naked in a trench
coat and start shooting up a place. So he's completely
he's nuts, He's he's a crazy person, right, He's he
is mentally ill and in that very very very small

(02:52):
percentage of people with wntal mental illness right at that point,
zero one percent of people that have a mental illness
that are actually dangerous on up of it. Now we
all know this. Should we have known before? Though? Should
the authorities have known? When we look at this more closely,
there is a certainly reason for us to think that something,

(03:14):
something was missed here. So he walks into the waffle house.
He let me just walk you through some of what
we know about what happened here, walks the wafflon and
start shooting, kills four people. And then the heroism of
an every day, you know, everyday American, James Shaw Jr.
The heroism of an unarmed American African. He's African American. Uh,

(03:38):
in his twenties. I don't know how all these like
twenty something, but this is some stuff, folks. This is
some guts. Imagine this guy comes in naked except for
a trench coat or some kind of a jacket, start
shooting up the place. He's got an a R fifteen
kills four people, so he this is a mass shooting progress.
He's just trying to kill as many people as possible.

(03:58):
And James Shaw, who is just a patron at the
waffle house, has the frame of you know, frame of mine,
has the the ability two bare handed sees the weapon
from this guy when he's I believe he was reloading.
I think he was reloading. It could have jam, but
my guess would be more likely he was reloading and

(04:22):
takes the a R out of his hands, throws it
away from him, and then the guy, the crazy guy here,
Ryan King, escapes. I also note that the fact that
he was able to get away. Look, law enforcement had
him what was it, within twenty four hours or so,
but uh, you know, it took them until two pm

(04:44):
today to actually get this guy. He was found in
a wooded area less than a mile from his apartment.
But I want to focus on on James Shaw for
a moment here, because he and this I want to
let him tell his part of the story here. He
gave interviews after it. By the this guy is great,
I mean, not only to save his own life and
a bunch of other lives, the process and showed real

(05:06):
bravery in as dangerous a situation as anyone could be in,
right mass shooter or a R fifteen. You're bare handed
and you're in a restaurant, you're in the kill zone,
and he has the frame of mind to um grabbed
this weapon out of his hands and end that shooting,
undoubtedly saving lives the process. And then he, from what

(05:28):
I read, went home afterwards, cleaned himself off and went
to church, went to church with his family. So we
love this guy. I don't I don't know him, but
we love him and he and he actually is a
is a real hero in the truth sense of the world.
Though I know he was saying he doesn't think he's
a hero, because that's usually what hero say, right, I'm
out of hero. Well, actually you know you. We're here
to tell you are, James Shaw Jr. You are a hero.

(05:50):
Here's what he did in his own words. So when
we have first heard what I know now as the gunshot,
we thought it was plates crashing because we have pretty
much made that up in our minds, that it was
the place were gonna fall. Then the second one happened,
in a third one happened. I think that's when the
glass busted and broke through, and then I saw the

(06:10):
WAF house employees scattered. He shot through that door, I'm
pretty sure, and I'm pretty sure he grazed my arm.
And it was at that time and I kind of
made up my mind because there's nowhere to lock that door,
um that if it was gonna come down to it,
he was gonna have to work to work to kill me.

(06:31):
So at the time that he was either reloading or
the gun jammed or whatever happened, is when I ran
through the Swilver door and I hit him with the
Swilver door and then the gun. The gun was kind
of jammed up and it was pushed down, so we
were scuffling, and uh, I managed to get him with

(06:52):
one hand on the gun, and then I grabbed it
from him and I threw it over the countertop. And
then then after that, I was trying to get out
the door, and I think he was pretty much in
the entrance voice so I just took him out with me,
out of the entrance, and all the way outside bare
hand had stopped a mass shooting folks confront of the shooter,

(07:13):
and I want to highlight this, I did see a
lot of really and you can expect this given the
politicization around guns and a lot of really stupid commentary
of the weekend about how see good guys with a
You don't need a good guy with a gun, you
just need a good guy. In this case, yes, I
think it would have been better if he had a gun, though,
just putting that out there. James Shaw didn't need one,

(07:35):
but I'm sure if you had offered him one under
the circumstances, he would have been very happy to have
been a concealed carry guy under circumstances. Like I said,
didn't need one, but it doesn't mean it wouldn't have
been helpful. And it's a really bizarre way to look
at the circumstance. This was getting a lot of social
media traction. I think maybe one of the students involved
at the park Land thing was saying I think that's
what I saw. I could be wrong on that, but saying, see,

(07:56):
you don't you know, you don't need uh somebody who's
arm to interview. Maybe it was a journalist who said it.
I can't remember now, I've read a lot of stuff
for the weekend. You don't need some of his armed interview?
Well true, but all right. Part of this that I
take away is that after these mass shootings, you'll often
have people who have real tactical expertise and a former military,

(08:18):
former law enforcement, or folks that work on the security
side and one we are another or just you know,
citizens who have you know, their concealed carry permit and
maybe spent some time at some ranges and our n
r A members, right, just people that understand firms thet'll say. Look,
being a vigilant and concerned citizen, Being a civilian who

(08:39):
pays attention and understands that your safety is ultimately in
your hands is a part of this. And if you
are entirely and we're gonna get into the government side
of this in a moment here, if you're entirely relying
on police to save you, guess what in this case,
if James Shaw doesn't step up, you might have had
four or five, who knows ten more people murdered, never

(09:01):
gonna see their families again in that restaurant and police arriving,
you know, tenor as fast as they can, but you know, ten, fifteen,
maybe maybe twenty minutes after the shooting stops. So you
can't just rely on law enforce and they can't be everywhere.
It's not a knock on law enforcement. It's just a
statement of reality. But people put this idea down right,
They'll say, oh, this notion that either people who are

(09:22):
concealed carry or just even citizens maintaining a level of
vigilance in their own surroundings taking their security in their
own hands. That's foolish. You can't do anything. A lot
a lot of liberals say this, a lot of Democrats
will say this. And you notice what James Shaw said there,
and this is I think what was the turning point,
because I'm sure this went through his head. He said quote,

(09:42):
I was gonna make him work to kill me. That
was it. That was the key decision in that life
or death circumstance. James Shaw could have just said I
just tried to hi, I put my my hands over
my head and tried to duck down and just ho No,
he said, I'm gonna make him work to kill me.

(10:03):
And guess what, Shaw walked away. I don't even think
he got I mean, maybe scuffle, but not even wounded
and save lives in the process because he made that decision.
You know, I know a lot of you will know
that one of the big things you train in military
side or longword, you know, you gotta get off the
X right when you're in a dangerous situation. Paralysis is

(10:24):
always the worst thing when your life is the threatening,
your life is in danger. Just freezing it means that
you're giving into the bad guys and you're gonna lose,
and you're not coming out likely not coming out of
the situation alive. And understanding that it is in your
hands ultimately, whether you at least take action or not

(10:45):
in a circumstance like this is an important step in
the process. It's not just lip services. Isn't just something
that people say after shooting or you know, pay attention
where the exits are security and safety. I'm not suggesting
it even be paranoid. I don't want you to be
in a state of heightened vigilance. Right you're not. You're
listening to this show, and some of you are probably
in Helman Province, but for the most part, you're you know,
in the in the continental United States, uh, Hawaiian Alaska,

(11:09):
some Canadians too, and some military bases around the world.
But I don't want you to be thinking that there's
an I E. D around every corner, because there's not
that said. Just a basic level of awareness is a
good thing. And preparing yourself psychologically to defend yourself if
need be, in whatever the circumstances, and defend your family

(11:29):
is important because if you wait until it acts, something
actually happens. And by the way, there, I don't even
tell you. You You know, I live in New York City.
People you get crazy, people come up to you and
you know, yelling in your face that they're gonna stab you.
And so I mean this stuff happens all the time, right,
I mean not all the time, but it's happened to me.
You gotta be ready to deal with things as they

(11:50):
come your way. James Shaw was and people lived because
of it. He lived because of it. Now I want
to I want to shift our focus. But that was
an important point here, right, work to kill me. That's
what he said, and that should always be your attitude
in a life or that situation. You're not gonna give in.
You're not gonna give up. You're gonna fight. Now. Law
enforcement side of this, law enforcement, peace policy side, how

(12:11):
do we stop this? I want to get into that
after break. I also am gonna talk to you about
what's happened, what we believe has happened so far, A
lot of reports still coming in in what is likely
to be a jee hottest terror attack in Canada. Nine
people killed vehicle attacks straight out of the al Qaeda playbook.
Not confirmed that it's al Qaida, not even confirmed, gee

(12:31):
hotties and yet, But we know what the numbers are here,
we know what the probability is. Will analyze that together.
And I think I'll actually have a friend who's at
has been at the scene all day up in Toronto
seeing of this mass murder, this terrorist attack. We'll have
her joining us in just a little bit here, assume
we can get on the line. She's been running around
doing a lot of reporting from there. But I want
to give you a ground truth perspective on what's happening

(12:54):
up in Canada, in Toronto. And we've got a lot
of show coming up, so stay right there. So this

(13:15):
waffle house smash shooter, he's in custom and now turn
himself in when we'll not turn himself in. But he
surrendered without much of a fight when they found him. Ah,
he is, he's somebody who's got serious uh mental mental illness. Um,
he believes that Taylor Swift is stalking him and had

(13:38):
some other I'm not even clear on all the different
delusions that he was having, but there were a bunch
of them. I mean, he's I'm not pretending to be
a psychiatrist here, but you know, he's a paranoid schizophrenic
or he's a there's something. He's got a very serious,
very serious mental illness obviously, and now he's a got
four homicides, four homicides that he's a facing charge just

(14:00):
for uh. He had his guns taken away, but his
dad apparently gave them back. That's what the report was.
Um that the Taswell County Sheriff's office in Illinois gave
the weapons that Ryan King owned to his father. So

(14:25):
we'd like to know how that how how does that happen?
So you take the guns or so that this is
the sheriff in Illinois where this guy Ryan King lived.
He moved to Nashville last fall, but he before I
lived in Illinois. The sheriff um gave the weapon you know,
took took the weapons away from Rhyan King and then

(14:47):
gave him to his dad. And the dad gave this
guy back his weapons. Now, Ryan King believe that Taylor
Schiff was stalking of hacking his phone and his Netflix account.
Any person without even a smidgeon of security training or

(15:10):
psychiatric evaluation ability should know that's a really bad idea.
And the father may now face some kind of charges
based on it, although I don't know, it depends on
what the process was that you know, did was there
a voluntary surrender of the firearms, and if so, did
the sheriff's office kind of sheriff's apartment give them back
to the dad and kind of a good faith agreement

(15:33):
here of hey, just don't give him and then he
gave him the kid. I mean, I don't know. You
gotta see what the specifics laws are are in Illinois.
So that's one part of this is they knew he
was a problem. There are red flags that guys obviously deranged,
and the dad gives him back his guns. I think
he also had a pistol onto the time he was
fan so he had an Air fifteen an epistol, I believe, uh.

(15:55):
And then you have another part of this that's troubling,
which is that he stole a BMW a few days ago.
You saw that, right, stolen BMW and managed to evade
law enforcement. Now I get it right. At a certain
speed and in certain situations, law enforcement will back off
because they don't want pedestrians or other drivers to get

(16:18):
killed in a high speed chase. So I know that
there are limitations here, but I also know that law
enforcement can call in usually depends on where they are
air assets for a high speed chase. Most I don't
know what the model is the BMW here, but most
model newer models of cars have GPS tracking on them
that it's not hard to find when someone is stolen

(16:40):
a car. I think I've even talked about on the
show how car theft has essentially disappeared as a crime
because they can find the car so quickly if it's stolen,
because they all have GPS tracking on them. Now something
you don't even think. Whatever. I still remember being a
little kid, and uh, my my friend's dad was like
driving us for ice cream or something, which was car
and the window had been shattered and all of it

(17:01):
and the whole thing. And that happened here New York
City on the East Side. You know just what happened.
You're like, oh, someone broke into my car. You know,
people still don't break in, but usually they break in,
Well they used to break and try to steal the radio,
but also they break in and try and steal the car.
So how did that happen? How do you get away?
And what was the timing of the law enforce in

(17:23):
response to the mass shooting? Those are all things that
we want more answers to have to come up with
a policy. Here is what should have been done differently
other than I think at some point, you know, you've
got to look and see law enforcement if they have
cause to make an arrest on an individual like this,
it might start to be better policy to say we
should actually get somebody in the system, because I think

(17:44):
with this guy, it looked to me like there are
some red flags and we're still finding out a lot
more about about his background, right, We're still finding out
a lot more about Travis Ryan King and the waffle
house shooter. But in the mean time, it does feel
like this guy was obviously a problem, obviously deranged, and

(18:05):
there afore people who are dead now they could have
been prevented. Does it feels that way? At least doesn't
seem to me like that this wasn't a guy that
seemed normal and quiet and got guns and no one
knew about it, and you know, how can you stop it?
So we'll keep an eye on this one. Speaking of
how can you stop it? Vehicle attack in Toronto, nine
people dead, scene of carnage and chaos on one of

(18:27):
the busiest streets of Toronto. What can we uh make
of that at this point in terms of terror attack?
Motivations follow on investigation and I think we'll actually have
a friend of mine joining us here from the streets
of Toronto. He's a reporter up there to give us
what the latest ground truth is, so stay with me
for that. He's holding the line for a Erica buck

(19:01):
Sexton is back. Good afternoon. My name is Acting Chief
Peter Ewen, come here to relate some information to you
as to what happened today on Young Street Approximate one
thirty this afternoon, Toronto Police received a number of calls
from citizens indicating a vehicle is driving was driving on

(19:21):
Young Street and striking a number of pedestrians between Finch
Avenue and Shephard Avenue. This is this time. What is
known to us is we have located that vehicle, the
drivers in custody right now. And he's been investigated to
the events so that took place this afternoon. I also

(19:42):
want to offer my condolences to the families and the
victims of this tragic event that took place. We can
confirm for you tonight right now, who have nine people
that are dead, six team that are injured. Trial Police
Service has bobilize all available resources and I can assure
the public all available resources have been brought in to

(20:05):
address this tragic situation. That was Toronto acting Police chief
talking about a an apparent terror attack earlier today in
that Canadian city just across the border. And here's what
we as he said, nine people killed. That's a mass

(20:27):
casualty incident. White van involved, beautiful day in uh downtown
Toronto and a lot of folks out on the streets
trying to enjoy themselves, trying to go about their business
and just a complete scene of chaos and carnage. Um,
so we think it's terrorism, although we don't know. ICES

(20:49):
hasn't claimed responsibility. I don't know if they have named,
uh named the suspect quite yet. There's a video. One
thing to note in the video that purports to show
the the driver of the van killed all these people
that he makes emotion with his hand in the video

(21:10):
like he's holding a gun and he points at a
police a few times and doesn't get shot. From what
I can see, he was threatening with something. So uh,
um with his faith with us right now. We got
Faith Gold in the line. She's a journalist up in Canada,
also a YouTuber. Faith. Great to have you. Thank you
for joining us today. UM, tell us what's been going on?
I mean, you're there on the scene in Toronto. I

(21:31):
know you've been reporting in live streaming from there. That's right,
Thanks so much for having me on buck Um. I
was just thinking to a friend of mine today, while
it's the sunny day in Toronto, there is definitely a
dark cloud over this city. Um. It was just after
the lunch hour today, probably the first beautiful day that
Toronto has had basically since the New year. So you

(21:53):
can imagine how many people were out on the streets.
This one strip probably about a half mile along um,
which is kind of like the northern downtown if you will,
if Toronto. It's kind of its own independent skyline up there.
UM full of residences, businesses, et cetera. So a totally
jam packed area full of many people when UM reports

(22:18):
came in of a man in a white rental vehicle
who was indiscriminately mowing people down, mounting the curb several times,
crashing into bus stops, running over fire hydrants, UM you know,
bike racks, what have you. And so as soon as
this news came in, I was at home. I rushed

(22:38):
to the scene and what I found buck was, I mean,
beyond anything I have ever witnessed in my own hometown.
When I say bodies everywhere, that's quite literally the scene.
And as I understand, they still remain on the scene
because of course it is a very active UM you know,
crime scene right now. So nine dead, sixteen injured. From

(22:59):
what we are told from the most recent press conference
which I attended, they're not giving us any details right
now with respect to the suspect. I did ask, while
there were no questions allowed at this press conference, I
did ask whether or not we knew that this man
was a UM Canadian citizen, or whether or not he
was frankly from the Middle East. Because whatever this turns

(23:21):
out to be, let's be honest, there's a bit of
a pattern and a schema that we've seen play out
across the Western world in Metropolis is of the new assault,
you know, weapon of choice, which is the car and
and the van so um no answer to either of that,
but I do see that CBS is now reporting that
it's a twenty five year old man, Alec Monassian, who

(23:41):
is known to police. That is of course still unconfirmed
by police or the mayor, who, by the way, buck
told us to remain unified and inclusive as a city
as we go. If we actually we have some some
audio from the mayor. I watched this press conference live
as it happened, and I was taken aback by just
how bland they were, how little they were saying. I mean,

(24:04):
it was like they were The tone from the mayor
to me sounded like he was telling us that there
had been like a temporary power outage or something. It
was not what you would expect after a mass casualty
terror attack. Play the audio, John. I also want to
say that this is a time when this community should
come to get it. These are not the kinds of
things that we expect to happen in this city. We
hope they don't happen anywhere in the world that we

(24:25):
especially don't expect them to happen in Toronto. But things
are as they are, and beyond supporting our first responders
as they continue to do their work and you go
hear more about the task adbise in front of them
investigating this terrible tragedy. I hope that we will as
a city remind ourselves of the fact that we are
admired around the world for being inclusive and for him
for being accepting and understanding and considerate. Uh, and that

(24:48):
we are united in standing in a solidarity, especially with
those who have fallen victim to this terrible tragedy today.
I mean, face in my eye, but stick a fork
in my I will say, maritory, God bless him. It's
not the most colorful character you know in the box,
so to speak. Not the kind of family expect to

(25:10):
happen though, Faith. I mean, that's yeah, it's a mass
casualty terror attack on your streets, dude, Like, no one
expects this to happen. Yeah, the things are as they
are line was his equivalent to the Sadiq con This
is just part and parcel of living in a big city.
You know. My sister who's a mother and pregnant was
another one on the way She called me mortified today,

(25:30):
and she's kind of my gage of what the average
Canadian things. She's not politically involved, and she said, Faith,
this is not the city that our grandparents, you know,
raised our parents, and that raised us in. She said,
this is not the same city. She said, I can't believe.
I understand, of course it's either still sort of early.
We're still learning a lot of the victims here excepter,
but I understand one of the victims was a young
mother with a child in a schooler like, this is

(25:52):
not this is this. We We had two recent terrorist
attacks in our country. Both of them were against uniformed
military area men. Right, But this is as indiscriminate as
it gets, no matter who this guy. This is the
definition of a terror attack. A non state actor waging
his jihad for the lack of a better word, on

(26:13):
streets against you know, civilians. This is a terror attack
no matter which way you cut it up. And I
will tell you, Buck, I'm not jumping the conclusions, but
I'll tell you I don't know how many times we
have to see truck attacks we have to see this
to reach the same conclusion. I will say this if
it is found out that this man who is now
in police custody was an implements with any sort of

(26:34):
isis except for affiliations, was migrant fifty illegals which we
received last year, was even an immigrant from one of
the or or illegal refugee. Our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau,
with his reckless obliteration of what was once an immigration
system that was the envy of the world, will have
blood on his hands. And I quite seriously mean and

(26:57):
I do believe that this, depending on you know where
is the it flit Land, will be a giant red
pilling experience, if you will, for many folks who are
sleep at the wheel in a country right now that
that that that is frankly just has a governmental just
they're the ones who are waging has So so wait, Faith,
I need to I need to jump because I need

(27:18):
to know this because you're up there in Canada and
you know what's going on with all the political changes
that are happening there. Um the mayor said in my
admired for being admired by the world for being inclusive.
And what I'm getting from this is you're telling me
there's been some change to connect because Canada used to
have this point system and conservatives in this country would
point to Canada and say, well, hold on, look, they

(27:39):
actually do the point thing. But Trudeau, who is a
left winger. For anyone who doesn't know, has there been
some shift recently, what's happened? Yes, massivevely, it's it's almost
weekly there is a new headline out about what's happened.
So in case you all didn't know, and I mean
this is good news for you, but bad news for us.
Our entire southern border has been all but erased. Our
primary service auted tweet up to the world, Welcome to Canada.

(28:03):
Refugees welcome, and we have a migrant crisis right now.
So it's coming up to Upstate New York and the
like to Canada this this year long. Six thousand people,
fifty thousand illegals coming up um last year. So um,
this is all stuff that's been done without a democratic mandate,
and it's it's about times. Frankly, people you know realize

(28:26):
and I'm thinking of it. Tan gentile here, I will say,
because of the fact that we don't know where this
guy is is coming from, where he's healed from, he
could be a Canadian citizen for all we know, but
but there there has been a tremendous amount of changes.
And this as a side note here because you'll enjoy this.
Our immigration system that was once the envy of the world.
It was just announced last week that in socialized healthcare Canada,

(28:48):
we're no longer going to have any prohibitions on people
who have disabilities or grievous remidiable health issues. So, in
other words, if you're a cripple of diabetes and some
sort of learning disorder, God bless you, but you're welcoming
to our socialized healthcare system. No questions asked. Huh, I've
gone way off to no. No, no, Look, it's it's

(29:09):
interesting to hear about the changes the immigration system, just
for for folks like you to talk about these issues.
And this is Faith Goldie. She's a journalist. She's up
in Canada. She also, Uh, your YouTube channel is people
just go to Faith Faith Goldie on YouTube. That's right. Um,
But before I let you go, Faith, what is the
status assuming this is an Islamist involved in which it

(29:29):
may not be. But as you talk about this, we
down you know, your your Southern brothers and sisters down
here in America. We look at at what's going on
in Canada. And there's been some changes in your laws
in recent years about what you can talk about and
how you can talk about certain things. Where is the
whole criminalizing criticism of Islam things stand under Canadian law

(29:50):
right now? Oh, there has been a federal and provincial
motion in my province UM that has basically, um, it's
it's demand did a quote whole of government approach to
eliminating Islamophobia. So the whole of government means your federal,
your provincial, our state, broadcast or the CBC, the police

(30:11):
to eliminating Islamophobia where that they do not damn it
to define. And in my province it's actually worse. It's
even having um improper thoughts, it's literal thought crimes against
people of of you know, the Muslim predilection and and affiliation.
So it's it's become an Orwellian nightmare in my country.

(30:31):
It's become so backwards. I've had very prominent members of
Canadian society called for me to be charged with hate speech.
I mean, these are these are crazy times when you
can't just say, hey, look at the fact, by the way,
don't you think your ifs a bit of a canary
in the coal mine. Maybe we should slower down because
you know what's great about being North American, bug, is
that we got big beautiful oceans on either side of us,

(30:54):
and and and part of our immigration policy, et cetera,
is that we get to be inherently discribed Tory. Who
we bring in, I need that the old fashioned since
the work. We get to be choosy. So when I
see that isis is raging war across the UK and Germany,
I think, heck, maybe we should discriminate a little bit more.
And and which I mean, be a little bit choosier,
but who we bring in because there might be Yeah,

(31:16):
we we want the all star team. We want the
all star team here of immigrant from around the world,
and and and well you know, and Canada were used
to think of. Well, at least the Canadians are are
being picky. But it sounds like you guys are changing
things up. Everyone should check out Faith on a YouTube
and also follow her on Twitter. Faith Goldie. Great to
have you on Faith and come back soon. Thanks very
much for covering this important story. Buck. Thank you. Faith.

(31:37):
Uh team phone calls are now open if you would
like to make a ring to us. I'm having trouble
with the English language, right. No, I don't know why.
I guess if the Faith has got the she's she's
very Canadian. It's a great lady, very Canadian, which I like.
And if you're gonna get ground truth from up north,
you you want somebody who's uh it was legit. So
eight four or four to five eight four four nine buck.

(32:00):
If you want to chat about anything we've talked about today, Uh,
coming up next hour. Oh gosh, I got some stuff
for you. Uh. The Russia collusion investigation is a sham.
We'll talk about that. It's been a sham all along.
We've got more about it now. The deep state is
very real. Um, McCabe's lies and Comy's leaks. We'll get

(32:22):
to all that, So stay with me. I wanted to
bring you some breaking news on the apparent terror attack
in Toronto killed nine, injured six. Team. We're just talking

(32:43):
to Faith Goldie about her. She was there. She was
live streaming video from the scene and it was pretty horrifying.
The bodies were still in the streets as she was there. UM.
The individual identified as a suspect who was in custody,
who looking at him now. And there's video out there
as well that is purportedly of him facing off against

(33:04):
the police officer and then he turned kind of he raises.
If you see the video, see what I mean, it's
like he's trying to commit suicide by copy. Right. That's
Mike saw too, producer Mike saw it. He raised his
hand like he wants to get shot a few times,
which I mean, if you've got a gun and you
raise it at a cop, you're gonna fire, right, You're
not gonna do. He does it a few times, so
I think it's clear he was trying to get suice

(33:25):
suicide by cop to happen, but didn't happen. They got
him in custody. His name is Alec Menasian Menacian and
just my my initial reaction to this just I'm just
putting this out there. I can't corroborate in this right now. Interesting, Uh,
names that end in I A N are almost entirely

(33:47):
Armenian and some Iranian as well. You'll get some or Persian, right,
so you'll get but most names you see that end
and I A N. I've been very close with some
our meetings in my life, so I know this it's
a little trick. By the way, if you ever meet
someone whose name is you know, Da Da da Ian,
it's our Armenian. What's sorry, Mike? What oh I thought?
Producer Mike is like, um, what's up? Yeah? Um, just

(34:10):
making sure Mike, Mike makes sure that I'm not running
off the rails here. So you know, Armenia is for
it's best known now as being the Kardashians. By the way,
o Armenian, they're probably the best known card Armenian Americans.
I don't know if this guy is of our Median descent.
I'm just saying it's likely based on his name, he's

(34:30):
either Iranian or Armenian. From from looking at the guy's name, Uh,
maybe maybe he could be Circassian, which is a group
of people from from history. They were kind of a
nomadic norn as horsemen predominantly, and they spread to other

(34:52):
parts of the Middle East because they had problems with Russia.
But they're from the Caucasus region, the Circassians. Um, so
he's from that part of world, probably at least in
terms of his background. That would be my guess, or
that's what I can make of it from his name.
Armenia is a predominantly Christian country, though like over Christian
it's an outlier in the region in that regard. It's

(35:12):
obviously our media's history with Turkey is very difficult because
the Turks committed a genocide against the Armenians. But so
that's now. He could be Iranian, and then he'd be Islamic, right,
he'd be Muslim, or he could be a convert. Never
forget that. I've, like you know, I've I've looked at
their terrorist attacks with guys that have you know, names
that are obviously kind of what do you think of

(35:33):
his all American names, Hispanic names? I mean, there's all
kinds of anybody can be a g hottist. Always remember
that it's not about ethnicity. It's not about a skin
color or background anything else. It's an ideology. So alec
Menazzi in could be an Armenian who converted to Islam,
he could be an Iranian who radicalized, or I could

(35:54):
just be wrong about his name entirely. And but I
don't think so. I think either our meaning or money
and from what I see here or maybe Circasian for
those of you who know what that is. Uh, it's
kind of as a little bit inside baseball. Um, that's
my thought. Those are my thoughts on that one. So
we'll keep watching this as closely as we can see
we get any more information about this guy. Nothing on
the ISIS channels yet claiming the attack, by the way,

(36:16):
so we got a lot more coming up in an
hour two about Comey and McCabe buck Sexton Mission, decoding
the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, American,
You're a great American again. This is the buck Sexton Show. Analysts, No,

(36:41):
I understood this could be my recollection recorded of my
conversation with the president as a private citizen. I felt
free to share that thought it very important to get
it out. This is clearly FBI material covered by FBI regulations.
You're not allowed just to take them and leaked them
to the media. They were addressed to high ranking FBI officials.
They were part of an investigation done on FBI computer

(37:05):
by the head of that investigation. So I don't think
there's any question now. There shouldn't have been before, but
there's no question now that this was FBI material and
properly removed and then leaked by Comey. It's sort of
a concernative effort by many to ignore the unprofessional conduct
of Comey in this regard. You can disagree with the president,

(37:27):
you can disagree with the firing of Comey, but what
Comey did in this instance is very troubling and it's wrong.
Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. That was a
professor Jonathan Turley, who is telling you what I've been
telling you along. I would also know that I had
a bunch of people jumped down my throat via the Twitter,
which is where journalists go to fight with each other basically,

(37:49):
or pundits go to fight with each other, as the
case maybe when I said, you know, if Coeny leaked
some of these memos and the memos are classified, Comy
committed a felony. A buck it all mad at me.
You know you don't know what you're talking about. Well,
I kind of do. Actually I don't know. I don't
know what other hosts there are out there that do, uh,

(38:10):
at least a syndicated radio show that I've ever had
a top secret clearance because because I did. Um. But
one thing you learn, especially when you're low down on
the organ chart, did you learn what the classification rules are?
Because The sanctions for those of us who are not
we're not connected politically, are severe or even pretty minor

(38:33):
infractions of the classification standards. You can go to prison
for it, but even short of that, you can have
your career ruined and be fired and leave in disgrace.
Well with no ill intent. Mind you, I'm not talking
about leaking stuff. I'm just talking about mishandling. You know,
like what Hollar Rate did didn't really come out that time.
I kind of tough. The Hillary voice requires a sort

(38:55):
you need even a certain mindset to really like you
gotta start with out I'm back there you go. You know,
you gotta really lean into it and be like, what
is the most annoying, unattractive voice I can possibly come
up with? And go for that, and you'll be in
the vicinity of Hilaria Hillary Clinton. Um, but back to

(39:18):
comy here. So he shared these memos with The New
York Times, which I would note he clearly thinks that
he's really slicking above the law. I mean, the whole
thing I've been I was gonna say I've been pretty
hard on comy. I haven't hard enough, because it's not
really possible to be this guy's a clown. He's doing
so much damage to the reputation the FBI, which is

(39:39):
supposed to be a nonpartisan, gold standard federal law enforcement agency.
How could anyone still think that at the top reach
of the FBI there's not corruption? All right, don't let
the Democrats force you into some other thing. Don't play
the game of like, oh, are you saying the FBI?
It know, the FBI people listening to show you know,
we're not talking about you. You know, thank you for

(40:02):
taking uh, you know, Russian mobsters off the street. By
the way, Russian mobsters A little fun fact because I
actually used to work with a guy who's built his
career on Russian mob Um. There's actually a lot less
Russian mob than people think there are and some of
these big cities, but they are reported as being Russian
mobsters because it sounds scary, and journalists will refer to

(40:25):
any former Soviet state usually as Russian mobsters. They like
won't get into specifics, but yeah, like Russian mob connections.
By Russian they often mean Bulgarian, bellar Belarussian Um. Armenian
actually gets counted, which is like for Armenians, they horrified
by this. But that they'll be reported on it, and

(40:45):
the mobsters like the association generally like yeah, I don't know,
like those Russian guys do it like they're okay with it.
So it's often misreported. So a lot of what you
hear is there's there. Obviously is also Russian organized crime
in this country, but it's a very very big difference
with the way organized crime happens in Russia. Here, they
like to do a lot of like white not white

(41:06):
collar stuff, more fraud schemes. You know, Russian monsters in
this country like to do things that make them a
lot of money and have minimum risks to them. Right. Uh.
In Russia, they disappear people and are incredibly violent, and
you know, they're doing hits and everything else, and they
enforce their codes against people here back in Russia. So

(41:27):
like if you have a family back in Russia and
you upset the Russian mob here and that's where a
lot of the violence comes in. But here they actually
take a pretty different you know, they like to do
like medicare frauds and things like that. They like to do.
They actually got involved in stock market schemes back in
the nineties. Yeah, I spent a lot of time in
a in an unmarked car with this guy who worked
Russian mob So like, I heard all his stories over there. Yeah,

(41:48):
I heard all his stories over the years. You also
used to tell me about how when they would have
somebody that was involved in a really reasonably reasonably big
drug deal, the look on the face of the of
the of the accused when instead of like the local prosecutor,
the federal prosecutor walks in and it's like it's federal day,
which they would they would do that, They would just
it would be federal day and they would just have

(42:08):
the federal prosecutors come because Federis can usually take most
drug cases if they want to. That was a bad day,
no parole. Oh yeah, oh yeah, rough stuff. So anyway,
back to the FBI, that the FBI guys and gals
listened to this show or just in general they know that, uh,
we're not talking about them. I'm talking about the leadership
cadre in these organizations who do think that they operate

(42:30):
under a different set of rules. They played the political
game in d C. They tend to be political animals.
They tend to be people to think very much about
how to advance themselves. In the bureaucracy. Like, I'm just
gonna say the people that I knew in the Intel
community who were the most impressive, like the people who
were as close as you'd get to actual like you know,

(42:50):
agent Ninja stuff. They don't. They don't run these places.
I was in a laugh. People like, oh, like, you know,
the former director, he must know a hundred ways to
kill somebody. The former director of the CIA knows a
hundred ways to rewrite sentences that go on the top
of a memo that the president reads. That's what the
former directors for CI directors to know any karate chops.

(43:11):
I know, I'm ruining homeland and stuff for people, right,
they think because they've seen the Jack Ryan movies with
you know, Clear and Present Agent all that, where he's
like deputy director of the CIA and he goes you know,
he goes rogue and he's out there like, you know,
screwing on the suppressor and he's ready to rock. No. No,
you would not want you would not want to have

(43:31):
to rely on Brennan in a dark alley in a
third world country. You know, the former CI director to
have your back. Okay, I know he's an older guy too,
but I know some older dudes who they'd get it done.
They're in their sixties, they're in their seventies, they've been
retired from federal service. But like you're still you'd be
very you'd be in very good hands if things got
ugly and dirka Drkistan and they had to catch your back.

(43:54):
The directors, what I'm trying to say, are not in
that category, right, So they and I know you know this,
but it's kind of funny innither with the media. You know,
oh so and so here's the spy master. It's like, actually,
the CIA director is like politician slash manager. It's really
what he does kind of those two roles. And that's
where you see all the politicization going on with the

(44:18):
FBI and d o J and everything. I was at
the top level, So we're talking about that, that leadership
cadre and we I've mentioned it before. I actually said
it was a cabal on Fox someone and that kind
of caught on. I'm not saying I was the first
to say it on Fox, but I was among the first,
if not the first, probably the first. I said it's
as a cabal is comy yates. You know, I'm a

(44:38):
you're gonna hear the Yates nay more. She's kind of somehow. Yeah,
she had that whole grandstandy thing in the first month
of the Trump her first couple of months of Trump presidency,
where she said that she wouldn't enforce a travel band.
So we know of her, but I'm telling you she
she's she's dirty too. She's like McCabe, dirty in her
in her political machinations behind the scenes. I'm saying she

(45:00):
lied under oath, which McCabe did, which we're gonna get
to that. But just remember, I'm telling you Yates from
d o J. Oh No, No, she she was involved
in the bad stuff too. I don't know if it's criminal,
but I know that it's unethical. Certainly, what she did
as FBI acting to our d o J acting Attorney
General was unethical. You're just not gonna enforce federal policy

(45:22):
because you don't like it, and you're just gonna say
you're not gonna do it. One thing. She didn't resign,
she just said not gonna do it, disobeying the order.
M hmm. It's quite a position for someone who's over
the law to take. Uh So. But back back to Comy,
I know, I've I've gone in all kinds of directions here.
Comy gets me fired up, as you can tell. So

(45:45):
Comey released these memos and now he's it's coming out there.
On some of these memos, um he wrote, you know,
he was writing handwriting on them unclassified, which strikes me
as It strikes me as strange because other memos that
seem to be of similar and you can go and

(46:06):
read them, that seemed to be with similar stuff, were
at least at one point classified. And you're gonna get
into this, You're gonna see this fight play out. Where
is it really in Comy's Can can Comey decide that
a conversation with the President United States on his own?
People say he's the originator of the information I understand,
and there's all these different regulations that come into play.

(46:27):
But there is some art as well as science in
the whole classification process. That doesn't mean you can just
completely make it up as you go along. Though, a
conversation between the FBI Director and the President of the
United States about any matter affecting US policy is in
a vast majority of cases going to at least be
at the confidential level, the lowest level of classification, which

(46:47):
is still a legally protected category that if you violate
it is criminal sanctions. So how Comy thinks he's gotten
around this just because yeah, I decided it was unclassified.
I also want to know if you just it was
unclassified well after the fact when he realized he was
going to release all this stuff. But the presidents just
come out and said that Comy is a leaker and

(47:08):
should be prosecutor. Right, so we know that the President
United States has already said Comy should be charged. Well,
we have to ask the question, how how can anyone
expect that or how can anyone feel that the law
is enforced in an impartial fashion in this country around
these political issues? Right, we're not. We all know, even
Democrats want acts murders to go to prison, usually unless

(47:31):
there's like a really good social justice reason for their
acts acts murders. Right, but even democrats want you know,
we we all want murders, molesters, rapists, we want them
in prison. But when whenever you get into this realm
of political targets or something that has a really powerful
political debate at the center of it, it seems like

(47:53):
we always lose. The Democrats always play hardball and use
the law of their advantage, including in criminal stuff. They
are criminalizing political differences and have been doing it for
a long time. And because conservatives tend to take a
much more boy scout attitude of like we're just gonna
be the good guys, we end up getting curb stomp
on some of this. That's what ends up happening. I

(48:14):
think people are sick of it. They feel like Trump
is somebody who doesn't allow that to happen. Right, But
you see the way this Comy stuff has come out,
and how vindictive he is and how he's made this
all personal, and you read through those memos, and I
really recommend you do. Uh, you see one all the
stuff we've said before. Comy is petty, he's vain, he's
really sanctimonious. I mean, he thinks he is in love

(48:37):
with his own virtue in a way that is vomit inducing.
He's for the rest of us. But beyond that, how
could any FBI director think it is ethical, at at
a minimum, not an abuse of office, putting aside whether
it's criminal or not. How could any former FBI director
think that taking FBI information and releasing it unilaterally after

(49:01):
separating from the agency to the press is okay? Think
about what that does to future presidents trusts in an
FBI director appointed by their predecessor. You know, we know,
call me, his wife, his kids. They're very pro Hillary,
big leftists. We get that, right, So now do you
have to think about that whenever you're the new president

(49:22):
with the FBI director. FBI director is involved in not
just prosecuting bad guys who are violing the law here,
but involved in the highest level of sensitivity counterintelligence investigations,
involved in breaking up spy rings here, involved in you know,
the cases where you're trying to prevent theft of our
most serious and sacred military technologies. Right, FBI directors all

(49:45):
some high level stuff. You gotta be able to trust
the FBI director. Do we trust the FBI director more
or less? After James Coby? What do we think about
the office of the FBI director now because of what
this lanky weirdo has done. I think the answer is
quite clear. And Trump is sick of it and he's
letting it fly on Twitter, and I understand why. Big

(50:07):
question that I still have is is he gonna maybe
face charges? I think the answer is no, because they're
gonna say, well, he's the originator of the information and
he you know, I think they're going to give him
a pass, you know who. I don't know how he
gets a pass, though, McCabe, you read well, I want
to talk to you this. You read that Inspector General
report and you are jaw on the ground. Yeah. So

(50:30):
we'll talk about that coming up. As you all saw,
we now have three Democrats senators who have announced they
will vote to confirm Mike Pompeio, President Trump's highly qualified
nominee for Secretary of State. However, a majority of Democrats

(50:54):
continue their pointless obstruction to score cheap political points with
their base as a willful attempt to un your mind
American diplomacy. Regardless, the President is looking forward to Mike
Pompeo's confirmation so he can continue doing an incredible job
on behalf of the American people. That was Sarah Huckaby
Sanders earlier today. I've got an update for it was
breaking news. Just in the last hour or so. Pompeo

(51:18):
made it out of committee, voted through, So it looks
like it's gonna happen. Send it panel narrowly, as the
Washington Post reports here endorsed Mike Pompeio for Secretary of State.
Ram Paul my favorite California surfer courtesy of Kentucky. Uh,
he switched on this one. I knew, I knew he

(51:39):
would sometimes. Brand just wants a little tension. You know.
He was like, he's like, hey, everybody the constitution and
still counts. We talked about it for a minute. Okay, fine,
I'm not going to let the Democrats get a win here.
I mean that's kind of what he ends up doing.
I get it. You know, there's no shame in that game. Rand,
But Pompeo looks like he is gonna, well, they gotta
get to the floor vote. But now that he then

(52:00):
he made it through committee vote hopefully. Uh you had
eleven and favor nine opposed one voting present. I gotta
who voted present? What kind of milk toast nonsense? Is that?
Nincompooper e? Do we think that's a word? I say,

(52:20):
we make that a word if that's not. If a
word sounds cool enough now and people know what it is,
it eventually I feel like if it gets enough usage,
becomes a word. So nincompoopery is one I want to
throw out there for you. But I doubt anyone's gonna
be able to switch their vote when it goes to
the floor. Um, who else switched here? Coons switched Chris

(52:41):
Coon's Democrat from Delaware. Oh no, I'm sorry, he voted present. Hi,
I'm in Delaware. That's what he just did. He just
Wayne's worlded for Delaware on the floor of the Senate.
That's or on in the set of Committee, same same idea.
Those of you who are true movie experts know exactly

(53:05):
what that quote was all about. There, Hi, I'm in Delaware, Um,
which is actually unfair. There are states that are much more.
You know, Delaware actually is beautiful beaches. I'm gonna stand
up for Delaware gets a rough gets kind of a
rough rap in the Wayne's World. The Delaware beach is credible.
It's like the Hamptons without all the garbe without all
the nonsense. Not the Hampton's garbage like on the beach,

(53:25):
but has a lot of garbage people because they're very snooty.
They're very snooty. They don't allow riff raff like me
in the Hamptons. But Delaware is like, come on, come
out of the coast, have a few laughs, So Rampaul
voted in favor of Pompeo and who else was on
I'm trying to see what else is this. I mean
that the fact this is even a discussion is crazy,

(53:47):
and you know what, doesn't get much coverage because it
feels a little Washington insidery and people don't really care
that much about that as a result, you know, you know,
it doesn't really get that much coverage though, is that
the Democrats are just extending out that they are just
delaying the process of putting Trump appointees through at every
single term they're making, They're just and they're just sitting

(54:08):
on things as long as they can. They're making go
as slow as possible. So on the one hand, you
saw these stories about how like oh my gosh, Trump
isn't putting enough people around the State Department and blah
bityh blah, and then on the other it's like, oh,
you mean Chuck Schumer is holding all this stuff up.
The answers, yes, he is. Answer is they are so

(54:31):
hypocritical on this one. I remember during the Obama years,
like all the obstruction, they called Republicans obstructionists for not
completely abandoning every principle that they had and just doing
whatever Obama wanted. Democrats, meanwhile, are actively this isn't like
a policy issue. They're just preventing Trump from being able
to staff government positions, using arcane procedural nonsense in order

(54:55):
to accomplish that. And these are the people, the same
senators in many cases who are obstruction Oh my gosh,
they're obstructing Obama. They are the obstructors in chief on
the Democrats side. He's back with you now, because when

(55:21):
it comes to the fight for truth, the fuck never stops. McCabe,
who was the acting FBI director and for a while
under Komy number two at the FBI. Remember we're not
talking about we're not talking about Rando's here, right, We're
talking with people that are just happened to be working

(55:43):
at the FBI. These are important figures in the FBI.
And what you take from reading the Inspector General report
from within the FBI is that there was a protect
Hillery operation under way that extended beyond even just the

(56:05):
email investigation into also the Clinton Foundation investigation. That McCabe
was a part of the Protect Hillary effort. This in
the very top of the FBI that he figured he
would be lauded for this effort when Hillary one, and
then he would be building his bonafidez the whole time
by stacking the deck for Hillary. And in the process

(56:31):
of trying to cover his tracks, he lied a bunch
of times, including lying under oath. Now this is where
we start to get into the problem of of lawlessness, folks,
because it is not okay, it is not right. It
is not moral for the federal government to exempt some
people from criminal prosecution that they will under the same

(56:58):
circumstances for the same violations of law. Uh procecute others
for right. You can't exempt someone go after others. True
tyranny is not the draconian application of law. Tyranny is
the capricious, applicate application of law. It is the haphazard

(57:20):
the you know, people that are connected get away with
the people that aren't get the rough stuff. And that's
what you have with the Justice Department. When Hillary Clinton
is running for president. You have a two tier or
two track justice system. Those who are powerful and important
Democrats and those who are not. And I think you

(57:41):
could even argue have a three track system if you
want not to overcomplicate. I'm belaboring my analogy, but with
with some purpose here you could say that there were
people that know that have no power influence and they
just get crushed because the federal government wants to take
you down. You're You're done. That's also what so many
of these journalist are so disingenuous about. If Trump has

(58:02):
nothing to hide with the problem, if this person is
where they hide, was the problem? Really? When was the
last time any of those punk journalists have been under
oath in front of trained prosecutors who all they do
day in and day out is catch people in lies
and crush them. That's what they do. That is that
is their job. That is what they are trained to do.

(58:22):
The same way that I knew guys who have been
on the job at the NYPD for decades. You know,
you tell them, yeah, you know, why was your lunch
break a little long? Ah? You know I was at
a doctor's office, Not now you weren't. Just tell me
why you gotta see your girlfriend before she hads out
of town? Just tell me. And they're amazing. Some of
them were like savants when it came to knowing. Even
not even I'm not talking about lie lies, right, but

(58:43):
even little things. You know, what do you have for lunch?
I had, you know, I had a kale salad. But
come on, you had pistrom me with extra Swiss. You're right, sergeant,
You're right. You know. They're really good at that. Why
because people lie to them all the time. They're used
to picking out truth from wise, so they some of
them get very very very good at it. Prosecutors same thing,

(59:05):
except they are armed with a whole array of information
before they sit down with you, and so it's all
tilted against you. But with with McCabe, forget about called
me for a second. With called me, the problem is leaking, McCabe.
The problem is leaking and lying about leaking. I mean,

(59:25):
I'm telling you if you go when you read this,
this report that the Inspector General put out, and what
you find is that McCabe was not only violent the
FBI protocol but also violating the law. And on top
of that, clearly, uh, there was a whole effort to

(59:47):
get Hillary out of any jeopardy. Um here here's by
the way. Anie McCarthy wrote a phenomenal piece on this
in National View over the weekend. He wrote, for example,
of falling this is all about the Inspector General and
the McCabe situation. Quote the Obama Justice Department guidance about
the Clinton foundation probe reminds us of their approach to

(01:00:10):
the Clinton emails caper. Call it a matter not investigation.
Do not use the jury or use the grand jury
instead of subpoenas. Try saying pretty pleased to obtain evidence.
Do not ask the co conspirators hard questions because their lawyers,
so that might infringe attorney client privilege. Let the witnesses
sit in on each other's interviews, Let the suspects represent
each other as lawyers. If someone lies ignored, if someone

(01:00:32):
who criminates himself, give him immunity. That's what happened. Not
just think about this. Hilary was the presumed next president
the United States by the media. She wasn't. There wasn't
one very legitimate criminal investigation going on. There were two.
There was the email probe, which found criminal activity that

(01:00:55):
they just chose not to prosecute. And understand this technically
speaking for prosecutors could choose not to prosecute anything, So
they are if they are unethical, right, if if you
had a mass movement of prosecutors like we're just not
gonna we're just not gonna bring charges against the system.
Comes to a hall, right, that's it. There's no one else,
there's no other you know. It's just that's we're not

(01:01:17):
bringing charges. If it's their jurisdiction, they're not bringing charges.
They can nullify the laws very easily if they want to,
and that's what they did on the statutes about classification
with Hillary. They nullified the Espionage Act to protect Hillary.
But there was the Hillary Clinton email invent, I mean
the foundation investigation as well. Here's another part from Andy's Peace,

(01:01:41):
the tense conversation McCabe had in August teams with the
Justice Department official the i G. The Inspector General report
identifies only as the principal Assistant Deputy Attorney General. That
post was then held by Matthew axel Rod top aide
to get ready for it, Sally Yates, Obama's deputy a G,

(01:02:04):
eventually fired by Trump for insubordination. Lisa Page told The
Wall Street Journal that the Principal Assistant Deputy Attorney General
was very ticked off because the Justice Department had learned
the FBI's New York office was openly pursuing the Clinton Foundation. Probe.

(01:02:26):
Why someone explained this to me? Why would anyone within
the d o jare the FBI be angry that they
were investigating a completely legitimate in you know, a criminal
inquiry here by looking at the Clinton Foundation, which was
just a massive slush fund for the selling of influence,

(01:02:47):
and you know, speaking about two tiers of justice and hypocrisy.
Never mind that Ted Stevens thing where the prosecutors just
lied kind of like what they did the Scooter Libby.
Oh wait, are they both Republicans that got Oh that's right,
both Republicans that got nailed by federal prosecutors, high profile
political prosecutions. What a shock. Where where's the attendant? You know,

(01:03:08):
where's the the similar conduct against democrats? Fueller Fueler? But
McCabe and these other FBI folks around him are clearly
agitated at the prospect um, at the prospect of this

(01:03:32):
going public. They were clearly annoyed that there was a
chance that people would find out about the investigation into
the Clinton Foundation as well as the emails. I mean,
how corrupt can the Democrats preferred candidate be? One more

(01:03:53):
thing from Andy's PC he really did a great job.
Our friend Andy McCarthy pulling apart the Inspector General Port
and this was on National Review dot com. Axel Rod,
Remember axel Rod is Sally Yates is number like right
hand man. Not. This isn't David axel Rod. It's a
different axel Rod. Um, although they both probably love Obama

(01:04:14):
in the same amount. Axel Rod at the dj calculated
that if he huffed and puffed enough, the FBI would
get the message. To his credit, McCabe wouldn't let him
get away with that. If Obama's Justice Department wanted the
case closed, axel Rod would have to give him a
direct order. McCabe put it to axel Rod, quote, are

(01:04:35):
you telling me that I need to shut down a
validly predicated investigation. There was then a pause during which
axel Rod doubtless thought about how that would look, of
course not. He finally said, sure, sure. Uh you see what, folks,

(01:04:56):
We have the record. They were playing games behind the
scenes of dj N FBI. They were protecting Hillary. We're
not imagining it. We have proof now. It's just taken
a little while for the proof to come out. But
when you want to talk about collusion, no Russia collusion
thing is just this is now a farce. This is
this is a storyline for for you know, Democrat maniacs

(01:05:18):
who can't can't accept that Hillary lost the election. Stall
and this is just fantasy land stuff. They've got nothing,
They've got Nothing's Trump like to say, no collusion. It
is true, there's no collusion, But there absolutely was collusion
between very senior members of FBI and d o J
who were quite aware of the optics of investigating not one,

(01:05:42):
but two avenues of possible criminal conduct directly tied to
Hillary Clinton during the election. This is why we don't
want to hear all the moralizing from Democrats about this
or that. I mean, they basically put up an unindicted
master criminal with Hillary Clinton to be the next president
United States, and they want to tell us, you know, yeah, Trump,

(01:06:06):
we don't like his coarse language. We don't care what
they think. I was gonna mention this too, and I
got a little diverted. I want to talk about coruption.
So the FBI wasn't The New York Office was looking
at the Clinton Foundation, which is so corrupt that it's
almost comical. The whole notion, the whole thing, right, Hillary
speech fees in the toilet. Now the amount of money

(01:06:28):
that the Clinton Foundations raising dropped off a cliff. What happened?
People don't care about charity anymore. We are we are,
we all supposed to what the media things were all idiots.
We don't understand what that all was. The Clinton Foundation
raises over a billion dollars and all of a sudden,
now it's not a charity anybody really cares a lot
much about. Oh gee, I wonder why they were just

(01:06:49):
lying about him and over at CNN and MSNBC in
these places. Oh, I know, Hillary, the charity, they're doing
great things for people. It's people just liars. They're not
that dumb. I hope, I hope. Um. But you know,
they had federal prosecutors go after Bob McDonald. And I
was early on this one, as I am on many things,
So my fellow conservatives gave me a lot of very

(01:07:11):
hard time on this one. Bob McDonald's the governor of Virginia,
never did a single official act on behalf of this
Virginia businessman. I think he was like a sports drink
owner guy or something, but it doesn't matter. A Virginia businessman.
The Virginia businessman gave the wife gifts. Member, this is
the elected officials wife, she's elected to nothing and and

(01:07:34):
gave them, i think alone, maybe to pay for the wedding.
And the only quid pro quo, there was no real
quid prob The only quid pro quo was that the
the the businessman was able to hang out with the
governor and the like hang out at the mansion sometime,
and the Governor's mentioned that's it. Not a single official act.
They tried to send him away for eleven years, folks.

(01:07:57):
At one point, a guy who's being talked about as
a presidential contender, federal prosecutors, no surprise in the DC area,
try to put him away from that, and they prosecuted
his wife criminally. Not only did she not commit an
official act, there was no official act for her to
commit because she was not in fact an official so
and the Supreme Court had to slap this down. So

(01:08:19):
I'm not like sitting here to Louid. They were like,
what are you doing. You're gonna prosecute people because they're
hanging out with somebody. If he wants to give somebody gifts,
it looks bad. Sure, maybe shouldn't accept them. But the
State of Virginia was like, Hey, we're not going to
prosecute this guy. Didn't He didn't actually break any laws here.
So the FED swooping with some corruption nonsense, essentially at
a an expansion on honest services fraud, which is Democrat

(01:08:42):
federal prosecutors speak for. We get to nail Republicans however
we want, whenever we want. That's what honest services fraud
has meant. You know who, by the way, loves honest
services fraud. Patrick Fitzgerald. Go back and look at the
Conrad Black case. Patrick Fitzgerald was the one who prosecuted
Scooter Libby. Who's Patrick Fitzgerald's best for and and godfather
was child. Oh, let's write comy. You're starting to see

(01:09:03):
some patterns here. Write some similarity, some connective tissue between
all this injustice deep State is Reel McKay. By the way,
if he doesn't get prosecuted, there's no such thing as perjury.
He lied, inspector generally the FBI city lied multiple times.
Not only did he lie, he had the I know, John,

(01:09:23):
I'm fired up. I'm fired have you I'm doing it live,
I'm fired up. Not only did he lie, but he
had the hut SPA, I will say, because I know
it's a family show to call the FBI in New
York and yell at FBI New York for a leak
that he himself conducted to the media that he then

(01:09:46):
lied about later under oath. That's McCabe, everybody, your paragon
of virtue at one point, the top law enforcement official
in the country under the attorney general. It's crazy. Alright,
alright quick quick, uh, I've got so much more to
stay with me. Yeah, despite all the challenges we face,

(01:10:13):
I remain convinced that, yes, the future is Buck Sexton. Wow.
An endorsement from Hillary herself. That's a that's quite a thing, gentleman.
I didn't even know we had that in the tank.
I am flabbergasted right now. I like that. I like that.

(01:10:38):
Um switching gears here for a moment. I just saw this.
You know, George, George h. W. Bush. He's he's in
the hospital now. I haven't spoken much about h W.
Just I didn't know him. And he's actually close friends
with a deer his family and close friends with a
dear friend of mine. Um, but I've always heard very

(01:11:00):
things about him. I don't really know him. But this
just kind of this kind of hits home. You know.
H W is in the hospital right now. He's in
intensive care. He's contracted and infection and he got very,
very sick the the day after his wife's funeral. And
it just reminds me of these stories that you'll see

(01:11:20):
sometimes which are very very true and actually reminds me
of my own maternal grandmother, grandfather rather who you know,
he lost his wife, my grandmother, and it's never really
was the same form afterwards, and you know, he was
just biding his time until he could be with her again.
And uh, you see this with h W right now.

(01:11:42):
It's not a coincidence that he's in the Yeah, he
you know, there's the love of his life and it
was his partner, and the fact that he's now on
his own. I'm a big believer in psychology and immunity
being tied together. That psychological stress and the way you
feel about things, and you know, whether you feel uh

(01:12:03):
loved and and feel like you have purpose affects your
health actually, And I think he's just look, I know
he's a he's an older man, and but I think
he's he he misses Mrs Barbara and obviously, but I
think also he's just reached the point where he's had it.
He's had enough. And I understand I've seen it before

(01:12:23):
and and it's something that does happen. So it's uh,
our minder, those of you out there, cherish your loved ones,
especially the mystery of the missus in your life. It's
never the same when you guys aren't together whenever that
is hopefully not for many, many, many decades to come.
All right, we got our three where did you go here?
In just a few so stare right there. Buck Sexton mission,

(01:12:46):
decoding the news and disseminating information. We have actionable intelligence.
Make no mistake, American, you're a great American. Again. This
is the Buck Sexton Show on CIA Analysts Sects. So
two things I'll say to you. Number one, that again

(01:13:07):
that woman who lost the election his name I never
say a TV anymore, is wrong that women. I think
she said white women have to listen to their the
men in their life to form their own political opinions.
Wrong again, lady number two. It's fascinating to me that
CNN would go there, But it's very good for the
whole world to have just witnessed that it is now
excuse me, that it's now fair game how people's spouses

(01:13:30):
and significant others may differ with them. I'm really surprised,
but very in some ways relieved and gratified to see that.
There you have Kelly Ane Conway and welcome to our
three of the buck Section show. Who is just taking
CNN to the woodshed. It's worth watching the whole clip.
If you haven't already, it will be worth checking it

(01:13:51):
out because you know Kelly and like, she's a veteran
of this stuff. She's been through a lot with the
media coming after her, and I think at some level too,
she's just sick of it. She's got to be sick
of it. They're so dishonest. I mean, CNN still thinks
this is crazy. I know, but I have I have

(01:14:12):
plenty of associates and friends that are over there, that
worked there. CNN thinks that it is a nonpartisan outfit
for journalism. That's CNN is journalism. It is not anti Trump,
it is not pro Democrat, it's not even it's not leftist,
which I would argue it is at CNN is a mainstream,

(01:14:33):
down the middle political entity. Right, That's it. They're crazy
I mean they are every bit as left wing as MSNBC.
They just don't embrace it. They don't at least with
m S. Say what you will, right, I know that
there are a bunch of hipster commies, like there's no surprise,

(01:14:55):
that's the vibe over there, and say what you will
about hipster comm He's at least it's an ideology. At
least they are clear at what they are seeing that
isn't And so Kelly and Conway, I didn't even give
you the the original context of that question she's asked
about her. I just want to get right into it
because and we got more for you from it. But

(01:15:15):
she's asked, well, and this is by Donna Bash, which
I just gonna put this out there. Everyone calls her
Dana because her name is spelled Dana, but you're supposed
to know that her name is Donna. Now you might
be saying, buck, if her name is d O n
n A. Of course no, No, it's d A n A.

(01:15:35):
But if you say to her Dana, you will get corrected,
and not in the most friendly tone I will have
you know. Uh. It's also a friend of mine once
told me that he had the temerity to call Christian.
I'm a poor uh Christie Anne. So he was like,

(01:15:56):
hey Christianne. She went, oh, no, no, no, no, no,
it's Christian. He said, just like that, Just like that.
By the way, she's like she went to the university
to Rhode Island or something. She needs to tone down
and like, you know, you're not a professor from Oxford, Honey, like,
settled down a little bit. You know, it's Christian. I've

(01:16:17):
built an entire journalistic empire off of sounding like this
all the time. John knows. This is what she sounds
like on television. She has one speed, she has one
tone of voice. It's like she's narrating the Lord of
the Rings for very annoying and pompous people. Uh so

(01:16:40):
that's a Christian. I'm a port sounds you have to
call her by Christian and with Donna Bash, don't call
her Dana. What skill set does she bring to the
table particularly, I don't know they like her at CNN.
I'm sure they pay a whole bunch of money to
be interchangeable with every other TV journalist I've ever seen.
But she's been around for a while. Uh. But she

(01:17:01):
asked Kelly and Conway about her husband's tweets about the president.
So Kelly and com We're sitting in an interview on
CNN's Sunday Show, which I don't know who outside of
the Acela Corridor, which is for the Ascella train that
we take from DC to New York or New York
to DC and Boston. What's up Boston? Uh, I don't

(01:17:23):
know who watches these shows really outside of that and
maybe some people out on the coast. But she's asking
about Kelly and Conway's husband's tweets, and Kelly and Conaways
just she's just had enough of it. She just thinks
it's garbage. I would ask you that if you were
a man, and it's not about it's about it's about

(01:17:43):
questioning publicly, questioning what you were doing for a living
and with regard to your boss. And it has nothing
to do with my spouse, and that's right, just asking
oh no, no, no, you just brought him into this.
So this ought to be fun. Moving where we're Donna, Okay,
now I'm going to talk about people's spouses and significant
others just because they either work in the White House

(01:18:06):
or at CNN. Are we going to do that? Because
you didn't know. You just went there. I love it.
Call him out for it. Do you think they do
that too, prominent female Democrats who go on that network?
You just said, well, you know her husband's a conservative.
You're here in an interview in your official capacity as
a senior advisor to the White House of the United States.

(01:18:28):
But what about that thing your husband said a while ago?
Not on message? You wanna do? You want to criticize
or bicker with your husband on national TV now on
a matter of politics that has nothing to do. You
know that you're not here to talk about that, but
you want to do that is garbage. But it's exactly
what CNN does. It's exactly what all these so called

(01:18:49):
down the middle journalists do on a regular basis. What
kind of questions do the Republican guests get asked? What
kind of segments are pro Trump people put in? This
is all done with intent and for effect. None of
none of this is an accident, my friends. I know

(01:19:09):
you're not fooled, but don't allow yourself even for a moment,
to be fooled. They make these choices, specifically two let
their audience feel like their political beliefs are being constantly
echoed and also told that they're correct. That's what CNN does.

(01:19:30):
It presents itself as we're the down the middle, down
the line, rational journalistic enterprise. But if you're a Democrat,
you're going to think that you're always right, and so
what does that do for people? Oh well, having Democrat
positions is not an ideological position. It's just being right
and being good and being smart. That's what it's supposed

(01:19:52):
to provide. But in the era of the Internet and
different news sources and outlets and the ability to fact
check these clowns in real time, it's all a facade, right,
It's all crumbling. If CNN wasn't an international brand, by
the way, it would be in big trouble. The reason
they don't care that on any given night they have
like under a million people, which for a primetime news
broadcast is really low. Under a million people watching Anderson Cooper,

(01:20:17):
I think like five thousand watching Jake Tapper. The reason
that they don't care about that is that they are
the channel that's in airports all over the place, and
they're considered still around the world the American gold standard
of journalism. The rest of the world hasn't caught onto
this yet. But it's also why they're very comfortable. It's

(01:20:37):
CNN taking what is pretty obviously, if not an anti
American perspective, a a non favorable to American perspective. That's
what they do. They try to take a global position
of what's going on here in America, so that people
in you know, the UK, and people that watch CNN International,

(01:20:59):
which is a big channel for them, and that a
lot of people around the world get their news from,
uh feel like, you know, their prejudices about America are
getting a little bit of getting a little bit of play,
you know. That's why they take the positions that they do.
But this, this point that Donna bash is trying to
make here, it just seems to me to be so
patently and obviously false. And this notion that this is

(01:21:23):
the question that everyone's asking. No one's asking this so
her husband doesn't like Trump, She's supposed to answer for
that on TV. No, I don't think that that's a
fair standard. And also more importantly, it's not when they
would ever enforce against the Democrat. It's not when you
would ever see on the other side. This is only

(01:21:44):
done two Republicans, and it's meant to you know, we
we if we played the full interview to hear more
of this. She's just like, look, you're meanted. This is
meanted to mean, it's meant to embarrass, it's meant to
put down and make me uncomfortable, meaning Kylie and Colway
make her uncomfortable, and it is meant to do all
of those things. It absolutely is. So why wouldn't we

(01:22:07):
see this and think to ourselves, there's clearly an agenda
at work on this network. They're pushing a narrative, They're
pushing ideological positions. That's just taking in what they're putting
out there. It's not even hard to come to that decision.
You have to be willfully ignoring. You have to be
obtuse not to think that they're pushing an agenda and
and taking certain positions. So anyway, I just it's very frustrating.

(01:22:31):
Having been over there for a couple of years and
been through all this, I know the Kelly and Conway routine, right,
meaning what they did to her. I know how it goes.
And then afterwards they all want to smile at you
and act like they're, oh, you know, where is that?
We're all friends, just asking questions you know, we're trying
to humiliate your national TV some way, but you know,
we're all just friends here just asking questions. It's fine. Nope,
she was having none of it. I thought it was great.

(01:22:55):
Never mind the fact you can make a whole case
about is it sexism? On its face? To force a
woman to answer for her husband's tweets kind of a
It's kind of strange thing for se Ann to do,
isn't it. What do you think that's a bit weird?
I certainly think so. Anyway, we are Kanye. That's right,
we're switching to Kanye. Now. You'll notice that last week

(01:23:19):
I did a segment on the show. Some of you
are probably surprised by. You're thinking yourself, why the heck,
Why the heck would would Buck be talking about Kanye
on his on his show? Uh? And the answer is
that he was tweeting out some very interesting philosophical points

(01:23:39):
and I like insight wherever I can get it, and
he is breaking with the conventional leftist wisdom on some things.
And I did that segment, I guess on Thursday with
you all here on this show, and over the weekend,
Kanye was in the headlines why he upset the left

(01:24:00):
by showing some support for someone who is on the right,
not just someone's on the right, someone who's a a
black female conservative, in fact, one that we've had on
this show. I'll have you know. I mean, I'm not
saying that we're like trend setters here in the Freedom Hunt,
but you'll notice we kind of have all the coolest
people on the show, Like they come through here and

(01:24:20):
then they get really big, and you know, then they
all just because it's radio. People just want to do
TV all the time. I get it. I know, I
know everyone just wants to be on TV all the time.
I understand. I love radio. Remember being in a in
a job interview not long ago with a very prominent
person in television who was like, well, you do radio, TV,
which one do you like more? I said radio. The

(01:24:41):
correct answer in that situation was television, but I said
radio because it's true. So uh, Kanye though, and philosophy
of Kanye, which I suppose is a thing now, and
also the young woman that he was given some props to.
We will get into that and much more here. Come
up just a few minutes eight four four, eight to five.

(01:25:02):
If you want to call in eight four four nine,
Buck and stay with me. Kanye gave some love to
Candice Owens, who is better known as a red Pill
Black or that's her YouTube channel. Kanye tweeted out over
the weekend that he likes the way that she thinks,

(01:25:27):
So you know, it's it's one of these moments where
all of a sudden, you have the progressive left which
is so used to complete control over the pop culture narrative,
and no one is really allowed to veer off. I
mean there are a few, you know, you got like
uh Gary Sinise, Sadam Baldwin, You've got some of those

(01:25:47):
folks who are outspoken conservatives who are in Hollywood, and
you've got some country music. It's okay to be a
country music star and be conservative, but from within like
most of Hollywood, and in within a hip I don't know.
I don't know of a hip hop person who is conservative.
I can't think of any. Eminem is like freaking out

(01:26:08):
because Trump won't won't give him any respect or or
hate right, he won't even pay him any attention. Uh.
I was gonna maybe do an Eminem impression here, but
it's gonna sound really bad, so I couldn't do it
um plus I can't make myself five three pounds. Oh snap,
so oh snap for real? So what happened here with Kanye?

(01:26:31):
I told you about some of his philosophical points over
the weekend, but or last week. But over the weekend
he wrote, I love the way Candice Owens thinks and
people completely freaked out over this. Cannon's Owens, uh, young
woman in her twenties, African American female, very uh, very

(01:26:54):
outspoken about being a conservative, about being pro Trump. We
had her on the show, I would guess almost exactly
a year ago maybe, So Like I said, I mean, really,
if if somebody appears on the show and you haven't
heard of them before, a good chance they're gonna be
a big deal someday. I'm not saying we make people
into big deals here, but we kind of help. And
also we we know who's we know who's got skills.

(01:27:16):
So Candice Owens, you can see her YouTube channel, red
Pill Black, and she's very pro Trump and she oh gosh,
she joined YouTube according to Washington Post here nine months
ago and has a couple hundred thousand subscribers. And we
basically had her on at the very beginning. I'm just
saying we basically had her other Okay, I'm gonna stop

(01:27:36):
patting us on the back for this, but we had
her on like right when she was getting getting her start,
uh and and looks she she does very uh, very
strong commentary on a whole bunch of different things. And
the fact that you have Kanye who has I follow,
actually follow him on Twitter and he has sixteen million

(01:27:57):
Twitter followers. I think you see, there's there's big followings
in the news and talk space and social media, and
then there's actually like celebrity following and people can think
they're a big deal. Like if you're a if you're
an anchor at at ABC News, you might have a
million people who follow you on Twitter, right something like that.

(01:28:18):
If you're a pretty famous actor, you have like fifteen
million people that follow you, thirty million people that follow you. Um,
I think the biggest all time following right now is
I want to say, it's t Swift, is it? Yeah?
I know what's up. But Trump is at like sixty
million Swifts that I don't even know what She's got
a lot of She's got a lot of followers. Still

(01:28:39):
hasn't still hasn't at me yet. You know hasn't said, Hey, Buck,
love your show. A little disappointed about that T Swift. Anyway,
Kanye writes his stuff, and he's he's got some thoughtful commentary.
Obviously some weird stuff too, And I'm very aware that
speaking of T Swift, he has a history of acting
in a way that is somewhat uh uh, you could

(01:29:01):
say self indulgent, little little childish. But lately he's been
writing some very interesting stuff on Twitter. And he wrote,
for example, just five hours ago, new ideas will no
longer be condemned by the masses. We are on the
frontier of massive change, starting from breaking out of our
mental prisons. Sure, oh, I can go with that. I'm

(01:29:25):
not totally clear on exactly what he's saying there, um,
but it was interesting. Nonetheless. Uh. He's also written, let
me see, I really love my Tesla. I'm in the future.
Thank you, Ellen. That's a first world problem there, I
love my Tesla. Thanks for being on the future. What
else do we have here? No more barring people for
having different ideas? Mm hmm okay, I think he wrote

(01:29:49):
bearing there uh self, victimization is a disease. What else
do we have anyway? That the red pill black. Uh. Well,
the comment about the girl who has the red pill
black channel Candis Owens, was what got everyone is so
upset on the left. And it's just because this they know,
The left knows. This is really a big takeaway from
it all that if we start to break through, if

(01:30:11):
conservatives are not ostracized from pop culture, it's all over
for progressivism. They have to keep us out. They have
to make sure that the doors are barred to us,
that entryway entryways are closed to us, because once people
see that, conservatives are actually much more willing to engage

(01:30:31):
in ideas, are much more thoughtful about their beliefs. I'm
talking in general here, but it's true are able to
articulate themselves and also come from a place of humility
because we always know that we have to we're swimming upstream.
We are fighting against the the dominant paradigm and media
all the time, so we just come at this with
a different kind of happy warrior attitude. The left is

(01:30:53):
toast man. So that's why they get so upset at
Kanye And you know what, he won't come on the show.
A producer, Mike, I'm gonna put it out there. Let's
reach out to Kanye, I want him on the show.
Do Connie and I would be buddies, would get along
super well. He'd be like, Buck, I like your style,
and he'd say it just like that too. We're gonna
get into some roll call. I'm doing an extra roll

(01:31:13):
call tonight, so we're gonna do a lot of your
thoughts and everything else coming up. So stay with me
team the show, keeping it real. It's time for roll call,
you know, John, It's like some of these things. You

(01:31:35):
hear this music, you hear the and and there are
people I know that will listen to that kind of
jazz elevator music all day, you know, No, there are
people that I get into a car sometimes it's just
like baby op boo boo, Bobby bop, bop bop, you
know a lot of like not that someone's actually doing bebop,
but that you know, the music is very and I

(01:31:56):
just always think to myself, like, is there someplace where
where you show off and everyone's like, oh my gosh,
you're the easy listening station elevator. He's a guy like
is he cool somewhere? Does somebody want to don't you
want to get his autograph? Is he like? Yeah? Like
you play all the all that smooth, easy listening jazz.

(01:32:16):
You know what I mean, that kind of jazz, you know,
like Michael Bolton style, that kind of I mean. I
probably haven't an aliens to people, but you know what,
I just I'm just curious. I just want to know. Hey, look,
I already admitted. I already copped to having Creed on
my workout playlist. So by the way, see people can
forgive that because because my audience is magnanimous that way.

(01:32:40):
But they also some people like write me secrets, are like, dude,
you're part of the tribe now, And I'm like, I know, see,
because we are both Creed listeners, we can be bff
as the kids say. And it is a G which
also means all good. Um, so let's get into it now,

(01:33:02):
shall we. Um, where do I have? Oh? This is
this is classic. Of course, whenever I go on air
and I want to access Facebook, there is some problem
with either my internet connection. It's the problem with doing
these things live on on radio. There's a problem with
my internet connection. Or Facebook is like, do you'll have
the permissions and properly blood all that stuff? Uh? And yeah, um,

(01:33:30):
that's what I've got going on? So, uh, where was I?
I've got some messages coming up by Facebook dot com
slash buck Sexton if you want to be a part
of the awesomeness that is roll call what it was?
Really my favorite parts of the show. It really is.
I kind of look forward. I see, I save it
for last because I look forward to it every day
and it gets longer and longer because I like to

(01:33:52):
read with you guys. All right, all right, here we go. Uh,
Jennifer writes, where is Friday's podcast? How they him to
close out my week? Well, Jennifer Friday, I was out
because I had to travel back to the East Coast
and we couldn't make the timing work for me to
get onto the show live. So my buddy the Godfather
Michael Pelco by the way, I'm the only person that
calls him the Godfather, and it's because at the Blaze

(01:34:14):
he was the gen Wait, which which is like, if
you're in your well, I don't wanna I don't want
to age out Mike right now. But if you're in
your like for gen X, he's gen X, right yeah,
John is saying no, Mike said, I think he's gen
X anyway, The Blaze when I joined was full of
twenty somethings and I was kind of a graybeard millennial

(01:34:35):
at like nine when I joined the Blaze, and and
Mike was maybe forty something, so he was our gen
forty something whatever it's called gen X, not a boomer.
My parents are boomers, right, So Mike's like gen X.
But he was like the cool gen X guy that
all of the millennials really liked. So I called him

(01:34:56):
the godfather because he was like Mitch from the movie
Old School, which is phenomenal. It's given us such things
as I'll do one and we're going streaking, and you know,
you know, all those Old schools are great. Old School
really holds up in my opinion, you know, yeah, taken,
And this is controversial, and you can add me on
this one, folks. Taken as a whole, I think that

(01:35:18):
Old School is a more consistent movie for what it
tries to deliver than Wedding Crashers. Don't get me wrong.
First hour Wedding Crasher is amazing. Second hour of Wedding
Crasher is not funny, kind of depressing and weird. Right,
Old School is great, and then it realizes, like, Okay,
we just gotta end this thing, and it just kind
of ends real quick. You know. It doesn't like draw
it out, it doesn't try to, you know, do some

(01:35:39):
cheesy like, oh, we've all grown as people. It's like, no,
this is gonna end with people acting like clowns and
that's the end of it. So old school is great
and we're going Oh. But he was like Mitch who's
called the Godfather, because Opelca was like the coolest older
guy in our fraternity of young people at the Blaze.
So that's why I called him the Godfather. As you
can tell, I'm very fond Mike, and he was one

(01:36:02):
of the first people to both encourage me to go
on radio and also to join in whenever I needed
a little a little assist on Saturdays because here's a
little fun story and maybe on my upcoming Luxexton podcasts
which are going to be launched soon, which get excited
for that, folks that oh Prucer Mark, we gotta talk.
I'll tell more of these kinds of stories. But to

(01:36:23):
launch my radio career, I started doing it on Saturdays,
but I was working Monday through Friday full time at
the Blaze TV and writing and doing hits at Fox
News or on contract at CNN and I for eighteen
months and John, who is currently our board op was
with me. He remembers I would show up at noon
on Saturday, office completely empty and it was just me

(01:36:44):
and John hanging out for three hours. It was radio.
It was radio awesomeness though it really was. But Opelco
was one of our friends back then. So by the way, Mike,
going forward, are we allowed to when the guest host.
I'm cool with the guest host being on the podcast.
We should just do that. I feel like it's just
um because I'm not on, we don't do the podcast,
and I think that's it's not a rule, but that's
the way people usually do it. But we should. Yeah,

(01:37:06):
we should put them on. We should do that rules there. Man,
there's no real we we This is not oh no,
this is like nom in that there are no rules.
In fact, it's not that. This is now I'm there,
you know what I'm saying. Big Lebowski another movie that
really gets better the more you watch it. The first
time I watched it, I was like, this is weird,
and I don't do drugs, so I don't understand what's
going on here, But by the tenth time I've watched it,

(01:37:29):
I thought it was actually pretty good. All Right, I'm
rambling and not getting to your role calls here, So
that's that's what I would like to do. And uh,
let's get into it. We have, Amanda, any recommendations for
a good book about Putin, his history and the KGB.
I highly recommend Nothing to Envy Ordinary Lives in North

(01:37:50):
Korea by Barbara Demmick. It really demonstrates the all consuming
nature of the state and just how poor the average
people are, and it's a real page turner. Amanda, you
have excellent taste. I actually have and have read Nothing
Nothing to Envy. It was one of the first books
on North Korea that I that I can remember reading
at least and in terms. So yes, you're correct on

(01:38:10):
that one. I just finished. Oh well, we'll get into
that more later. More on books later. But you asked
about a KGB book in Putin. I love this book
called The New Nobility is written by a Russian female.
Russian journalist. I'm forgetting her name right now. It's very

(01:38:31):
like the name is very Russian, you know, it's like
twenty letters along. Um, it's really good. It's the New
no Abilities, essentially the KGB ification of Russia and how
the intelligence apparatus of the Soviet state really turned into
the center of power of the Russian state and that
is with us to this day. For example, Putin's a

(01:38:51):
former KGB guy, but there are many, many others. And
if you want to understand Russia today, I not the
prop again channel RT, but if you want to understand
what Russia is like right now, UM, I would recommend
The New Nobility. I really enjoyed that book. I ripped
through it. I read it very in rapid fashion. Um.

(01:39:12):
So there is that uh next up here, Hubert rights,
Hey Buck, next time you're in San Diego, here's some
suggestions to check out. Raised by Wolves in La Joya
is a speakeasy type bar, noble experiment and prohibition in
downtown San Diego. I hope you enjoyed my neck of
the woods where most conservatives live in California. Have a

(01:39:33):
good day. I can't wait for Monday's show. Well, Hubert,
thank you for making me feel at home in uh well,
after the fact, but with my visit to California, I
gotta tell you and and producer Mike and John you
guys should listen to this one. San Diego is the
Promised Land, dude. All of the benefits of l A. Really,
I mean not as much industry and stuff, but in

(01:39:53):
terms of weather and food and and far fewer drawbacks.
There's way less like enormous camps of belligerent homeless people,
for example. That's something I dealt with in l A.
Uh Right, You're all of a sudden, you're walking. You're like, oh,
it's a campsite, but a block from Hollywood Boulevard. Who knew?

(01:40:14):
And yeah, and these are all by the way, these
are all able bodied people walking around. This is not
like you gotta see it to believe it what's going
on now in l A. But San Diego was a gem.
I was only there for twenty four hours, but I
really made a point of I got to Lahoya Gas
Gas Lamp District, which is kind of the main downtown
drag of bars obviously, and Coronado, and I drove through

(01:40:37):
Pacific Beach, which I didn't get to hang out in,
but I saw it. If I went back, I think
I'd hang out. I'd probably I might. I mean, I
like to be a little bougie, so I might stay
in Coronado. But I'm just admitting that because I'm honest
with you guys. If I wanted to be cool, though,
so barking mark that in your calendar, I would stay
in Pacific Beach. Have you ever been out there, Producer,

(01:40:59):
Mike or John? I think, oh, it's amazing. Right. San
Diego is like l A is like the like the
be you know, l A is like the fancy you
know that, It's like the Kim Kardashian. San Diego is
like the younger, prettier one, whatever her name is. Welliam
Lloya might be my favorite city. And in the United States,
Looid is incredible, dude. I was walking around like, this
is like the most gorgeous little area. I mean, people,

(01:41:21):
it's very expensive, but it's it's amazing. Did George's No.
I went to a place for brunch. I'm forgetting what
the cottage. I think it was called very good, very
very solid, very solid food. Um and uh Mitt Romney
lives there right seeing Mitt knows what's up. If I
had two d and fifty mills sitting in my retirement account, Lloyd,
here I come, baby. So anyway, if if for some

(01:41:42):
reason I can get out of the New York DC
corridor in my professional life. If I could just pick
right now site unseen, Austin would be high on my list.
Just face. My older brother lived there for a while.
He absolutely loves it. So Austin very high on the list,
even though I've never been there. This is like somebody
who buys an apartment they been seen, right, Like Austin
would be on the list, But I I also think

(01:42:05):
that San Diego would be high. You know what, John,
I'm gonna go. You know what, I'm gonna go to
a break here. See, I want to do a little
more time with our roll call, so I'm gonna go
and break. I'm gonna finish it out either side. See. Look,
we started it early. Let's let's finish it with a
little more time on roll call. So we'll hit a
break and we'll be right back. So I knew that
I missed you Walks. I wasn't on Friday, so I

(01:42:26):
was gonna want to do a little more roll call today,
So we broke it out into two segments. Also official
team Bucket, Gmail dot com. If that's how you want
to say Hi, well we love hearing from you there
as well say I was talking to you guys about
San Diegos and Diego's great. It really is. Oh wait,
oh no, I was gonna go into a whole other
thing about l A, but maybe I'll have to Maybe

(01:42:48):
I'll have to hold off on that one. Let's just
say a Hollywood not a place you really want to
hang out. You know, it sounds fancy because like al
ray for Holly would, but when you actually around Hollywood Boulevard, No, yeah, shady,
it was shady. Uh. Miss Molly was out there visiting
me too, and she sent me text She's like, ah,

(01:43:09):
there's like weird guys following me around. I was like, yeah,
the penhandling is very aggressive, and I mean they're they're
able bodied twenty somethings that are following around like hey man,
give give me money, and they'll keep walking like they'll
follow you. It's not like they stand there and say please,
can you help someone out? And you're like you you
have like a cell phone, Well, why you're you're wandering

(01:43:31):
around with an iPhone in your hand asking me for money?
And you you you know, you look at you could
probably bench about two pounds, Like what's the problem anyway? Uh,
let's get back into this roll call. As I said, Steve,
remember the huge protests in d C immediately following inauguration.
Remember the windows being knocked out at Starbucks? Yes, Steve,

(01:43:51):
I do remember both of those things. And the left
is crazy. So there you go, Roberto, next up here,
Shields High. Buck. I enjoy your show and I'm encouraging
my co workers to listen to you. Thank you, Roberto,
you are an exceptional fellow with fantastic taste. I play
your podcast while I'm working out in the garage. Keep

(01:44:12):
fighting the good fight, and continue spreading your knowledge and analysis.
All right, my friend, Well, thank you very much, and
then I'm glad I can keep you a company while
you work out. Speaking which the fight against the Dad Bod.
That should be That should actually be a whole podcast.
They do the fight against the Dad Bod. It is
a constant, the struggle is real. Um what else we

(01:44:35):
have here? Uh? Johnny writes Buck, the the Cuomo monotone
speech bit was freaking great. Had to pull over the
truck due to laughing fits. Shields High, and keep up
the excellent work. Thank you Johnny for liking the Cuomo impersonation.
His politics are terrible, but he is a font of

(01:44:58):
comedic activity. John. Remember when Koma did the speech nobody
needs a hundred John was with me, nobody needs a
hundred rounds to kill a deer. He was straight up
yelling he thought he had a shot at the prey.
Maybe he said ten rounds, but I don't know, maybe
that maybe the deer is kind of you know, maybe
it's Bob and weaving. Maybe it's a frisky deer. You

(01:45:19):
don't know. Ten rounds sounds like a fair amount to me.
But anyway, Uh, Danny is next up here. Hi Buck,
thanks for including my comments on the air. My wife
and I missed Friday show. We are big fans of
Michael Pelca. Would your team be willing to post that
show as a podcast? I think we missed the boat
on this one because it goes in the feed. But
why don't we plan next time we have Mike fill in.

(01:45:39):
I think he'd be happy. I'm assuming Mike could be
happy to come back. He's like family. Next time Mike
is in for me, will make sure that we run
the podcast because now it's kind of missed the Because
we're gonna put out tonight's podcast, right, so we don't
want to spam people. UM, but I'm glad you all
got to hang with the Godfather. He's he's really he's
you know, he's one of these guys in this business
who he's a good friend and a good mentor and

(01:46:01):
actually tries to help people and go out of his
way to do so when there's nothing in it for him.
Not a lot of people like that in the world,
particularly the media business. The worst people generally are in
the media business. So Opelka is a good man. We
have Larry up next year. North Korea. Building a nuclear
momb is one thing. Building an intercontinental ballistic missile is another.

(01:46:24):
Putting a nuclear weapon on top of a missile and
delivering it to where you wanted to go and first
having a debtonate as a whole other kettle of fish.
I think they maybe we will need to talk because
they have discovered this. So Larry, I guess, is saying
that he thinks that North Korea UM may or may
not be able to actually get where it's trying to
go with the weapons. UM. We'll see, they've been moving

(01:46:48):
pretty fast, Larry, despite all the efforts to slow them down.
Thank you, though, sir, for your note. We have Jennifer
who writes in remember this is Facebook dot com slash
buck sex, and I hope all of you at least
following that page. And uh, we try to only put
good content up there, and it's the way you can
talk to your fellow team buck folks. But he are
che Pardon me, that was Larry, she writes. Jennifer writes

(01:47:11):
um neon line new nine line shirt. I love it.
My Black Rifle Coffee weekly shipment should be here tomorrow.
Only three people in my house drink coffee, and I
go through forty k cups and two bags of coffee
every other week. Shields High. Well, Jennifer, you know I
really do appreciate this. Whenever someone listening actually goes along
with one of our callouts here and checks out one

(01:47:33):
of our fantastic sponsors, they're really partners with the show.
Anyone you hear advertising on this show believes in what
I'm doing, knows who I am, wants to work with me.
And so if you like this show, going to check
out the sponsors. And with Black Rifle nine line, for example,
you're getting great product, right, These are the delicious coffee.
My parents only drink black rifle coffee. Now, okay, it's

(01:47:53):
my parents. I only drink black rifle coffee, no surprise there.
But Nine Line Apparel also great gear and great guys
running that company. I mean those I were nine nine
Line T shirts. Now I have three of them that
I kind of switch out. I wear them all the time.
In fact, I should probably post some stuff. I'm just
not that into selfies because I always feel like, who
wants to see a selfie of meat? But anyway, I'm

(01:48:13):
in the media business. Uh So we'll close it up
there in the freedom mund for tonight. Thank you was
always team for joining. We got every day together this
week without fail. So until next time, She'll tie
