(01:10):
you are entering the freedom hunt. Donald Trump enters a
NATO summit with a mic drop moment, decides to let
some of our European allies no no more free rides
Montfrere no more. Deciding that somebody else is going to
pay the bills for your defense. Time to step up. Plus,

(01:31):
the anti Kavanaugh resistance is increasingly unhinged. Will hit that
and much more coming up on the buck Sexton Show.
This is the buck Sexton Show where the mission or
mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Make no mistake American, You're a great American Again The

(01:52):
buck Sexton Show begins. No. Two roll wars on their
full ward vocal stuff. The real storment together not a
part um. But how can you be together? What in
country is getting its energy from the person you want
protection against or rumber teams that you wanted to say

(02:13):
that you understand that when we stand together. Also in
dealing with Russia, we are stronger. I think, well, we
have seen it's not you're just making Russia richer. Well,
they're dealing with Russia making the rest of richer. So
we're supposed to protect Germany, but they're getting their energy
from Russia. Explained that Germany is totally controlled by Russia.

(02:34):
Because they will be getting from sixty to seventy percent
of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline. And
you tell me if that's appropriate, because I think it's not.
And I think it's a very bad thing for NATA
and I don't think it should have happened. And I
think we have to talk to Germany about it. On
top of that, Germany is just paying a little bit
over one, whereas the United States and actual numbers is

(02:57):
paying four point two percent. Welcome to the buck, sex
and show everybody. Donald Trump coming out swinging at this
uh NATO summit, And I gotta tell you, I think
it's about time. Why not have a heart to heart,

(03:17):
Why not have an honest, no frills conversation with their
European allies. They can handle it, right. These are developed countries.
They've got serious militaries, they've got serious econoties. Remember d
EU in its totality, has a bigger county than the
United States. So why do they look to us for

(03:37):
their collective defense? Right? Why is this a just an
article of faith in the international relations? Smart set? Well?
Trump is asking these questions, and I gotta tell you
it is. It is one of these days where you
see some people are willing to ask why. Other people
just want to sound smart. They just want to say

(03:58):
what they're told to say, just want to be with
the cool kids in the cafeteria. And with with NATO,
we we have a situation wherever it agrees, the Europeans
are in defense terms being something of freeloaders. And if
nothing else, why do we have NATO? I asked that
question in all seriousness. The Soviet Union no longer exists,

(04:20):
the Warsaw pack is not our concerned. NATO's the reason
for NATO's existence no longer exists unless somebody really and
truly believes that Russia is going to invade a sovereign

(04:40):
European nation anytime soon. Uh, there's no real explanation for
what NATO is going to do. We can still have
multilateral and bilateral defense treaties with any countries you want.
And when you really get down to it, I'm trying
to be a little contrained, a little provocative because Trump's
out there, and so that means that you get the

(05:03):
hysterical reaction from liberals there. Oh he's gonna destroy that,
He's gonna destroy nd On, what's gonna happen here, Oh,
here we go. Christian arman Pool thinks it's unprecedented, blatant.
It is unprecedented. It violates every norm of an alliance
norm specifically, I'm talking about the captive and controlled by

(05:26):
when he refers to Germany and Angela Merkel being controlled
by Vladimir Putin and Russia. It is unprecedented language. It
is a real threat to the alliance. Is it threats
to the alliance? Why? Why is it a threat to
the How is it a threat to the alliance? No
one saying alliance is going anywhere? But can't we think

(05:46):
about this? Can we have a discussion about what the
future of US European military cooperation should be. People keep
saying this, They say, oh, you know he's doing He's
doing Putin's bidding. And I say, hold on a second.
Not only is that unfair and skipping way down the
line and act No one's saying we're abandoning your European College.

(06:07):
The one thing we're breaking alliances with with these countries.
We don't want to work with them anymore. We have
deep bonds with our European partners, particularly the UK, but
other countries too, The French, are Okay, A bunch of
those European countries are nice, nice places to visit. But
I also have to ask, you don't really think about this.
Would you want if if trying, if there was an

(06:30):
incident involving Russian masca rof car, which is you know,
warfare via concealment, right, trying to do some kind of
they would create some disturbance, and then Russian paramilitaries are
all of a sudden, you know, in a country like Latvia.
I'm not saying we would abandoned. I'm not saying we
wouldn't put sanctions on Russia, we wouldn't do things, But

(06:51):
would you really would you want your son or daughter
to you know, get get para dropped. I know we
don't really do that anymore, but you know I'll get
get dropped off by see one thirty next door. And
now we're we're gonna be fighting these Russian paramilitaries in
lat Villa on on behalf of the Latvians. Um. I'm
not saying no, I'm just saying, can we think about

(07:13):
this a little bit? We think beyond just the the
screeds in the hysteria, because what you see is anything
that trumps involved in People don't want to have a
rational conversation. They don't want to have a reasonable discussion.
NATO somehow becomes oh, it's terrible. Uh, look this is

(07:33):
at the end of the day. And I'll be honest
with you. Not a lot of people will. I'll be
honest with you. The NATO conversation. It's just nothing's gonna change.
It's just not really that interesting. What's interesting is the
reaction to Trump being there and and Trump being Trump.
But in terms of the policy shifts, what's really going
to come from this? You know, they just they're so dishonest.

(07:54):
You know, they skip over this all the time. Putin
for example, they say, is so close with Trump, and
I know there's this meeting coming up, and everyone's like, oh,
what are they gonna say to each other? The Trump
administration has been willing to arm Ukrainian military with lethal weapons.

(08:15):
The Obama administration refused those weapons, including UH sniper rifles
that we've been giving and an anti tank missiles, javal
and anti tank missiles to the Ukrainian National Army to
fight against Russian backed and Russian UH irregular separatists in Ukraine.

(08:36):
Obama's team wouldn't do that. They backed off of that.
You have sanctions in place on Russia. Still, you have
the administration very clear that Russian aggression and bellicost behavior
is unacceptable. But there is this still, this, this this
mass hysteria over Prutin and Trump. Putin and Trump they're

(08:57):
they're best friends. I mean, does anybody really think for
a second that Trump wouldn't turn on Putin on let's
even assume they were friends. Trump wouldn't turn on Putin
on a dime if he felt the least bit disrespected
by him. You think Trump plays second fiddle the Putin
at all in his mind, or would even would even
consider such a thing. No. I think what you had

(09:20):
before with the Obama administration was eight years of a
president who looked, acted, and sounded weak on foreign policy matters,
and who Putin thought he could take to the cleaners
and on foreign policy did just that right that he
could just you know, just school them, Just school the

(09:41):
Obama administration, take what they want, get away with a
lot of stuff. You'll notice that the sanctions they put
on Obama didn't come until really, I mean the latest
round of sanctions to say it was for election interference,
but didn't happen the very late in the administration, and
the stuff that they it about Georgia and about Crimea

(10:05):
didn't have any effect on Russian foreign policy what the
Russians accomplished in Syria because Obama was too busy appeasing
the Iranians, you know, I mean, that's not discussed nearly enough.
I'm actually reading almost finished with a book right now
which I will very I very much recommend all of you.
It's called red Notice. Now, red notice is what they

(10:27):
call an international arrest warrant an interpoll. So when a
red notice is out on you, it means that INTERPOL,
the international police agency, has been notified that you are
to be arrested and you are to be uh. You
are to be transferred right extradited to a specific country. UH. Browder,

(10:47):
who wrote the book Red Notice, talks about what it's
like doing business in Russia and then leads you through
the story of the Magnitsky Act for Sarah Gai Magnitsky,
who was a mild man nerds patriotic Russian. By the way,
I really believed in the Russian state, believe in the
Russian law, a model man of tax attorney who got

(11:08):
on the wrong side of the Kremlin and some of
the oligarchs because of a massive fraud that Browder helped
expose through his business dealings. And then Magnitsky was held
in the worst and most sort of inhumane Russian prison conditions.
He had all kinds of infections and was losing weight,

(11:29):
and they would they they intentionally denied him medical treatment.
He was in horrific suffering. And then when they finally transferred,
I mean, this is the Russian way of doing this.
I have no illusions about Russian Right. The Russian government
is bad and does bad things. They're thugs, but they're
thugs with a lot of nukes. We can't just you know,
kick them around and treat them like they are a
bunch of punks. You know. We gotta let them know that,

(11:51):
yeah we've got you know, we we can hit back too,
but we can't just get injured with them every time
we see them. Right. But I have no illusions about
the Russian state. Neither's Trump. Now that's Pao. Back to
mcnittskey for a moment here, and this was about a
decade or so ago, actually, no less than that. Now, um, well,

(12:11):
I think it was two thousand and it was during
the Obama administration. I'm forgetting this specific year. But so Magnitsky,
this lawyer, is in Russian custody. They deny him medical treatment,
and then finally, wh they're gonna give him medical treatment,
and all the while you've got these press stories, the
journalists are saying that Magnitsky is being held he's being held,
uh in illegal detention. They in Russia, by the they

(12:33):
can hold you for a year without charging. You. Think
about that next time you think that the U S
system is not that great, just remember it's it's the
best of very bad systems. Ah. But then they finally
gonna give him medical treatment. Instead, they sent a bunch
of riot police into his UH cell and beat him
to death with the tons after he had been writhing

(12:54):
in pain for months because of untreated he had kidney stones.
I mean, just terrible stuff. Uh. And the Russians are
trying this is what the Russians do. They try to
make examples of people. It's why they put you know,
polonium and people sushi or whatever and whatever that radio
radio active isotope was that they poisoned lit Vanenka was
so and and and now Nova Chuck right, the the

(13:15):
nerve agent that is has greatly sickened a number of people,
including a an enemy of the Russian state. So I
have no illusions about how bad the Russians are. Also,
for my time in the CIA, trust me, I am
very aware. A lot of the top people in the agency,
because of the Cold War, because the main adversary was
the Soviet Union, had very colorful thoughts about the Russians,

(13:40):
about the KGB, then the FSB uh and and yeah,
there's a lot of there's a lot of viciousness and
a lot of thuggery that is part of the enterprise
of the state in Russia. But there's one part of
all that. And you know, as you said, you're talking
about NATO, one part of the in this book that
comes out. I think it's so interesting. It doesn't get

(14:02):
nearly enough attention that Obama didn't want to push the
Magnetski Act. John Kerry didn't want to push the Magnetski Act.
They didn't want to ruffle feathers. Obama wanted the Russian reset.
Obama wanted to play kate the Russians. Obama was caught
on the hot mic saying you know, you know, I

(14:23):
will I'll have more flexibility at the next election. And
then you know, uh Medvedev was like, remember all that.
I mean, we you've had nothing with Trump that's in
the same universe of appeasement like that. You know, once
I basically what Obama said was, once I fool the

(14:44):
American people one more time into thinking that, you know,
I'll do something that I won't do with you guys,
then then you know we can actually really talk Hillary
Clinton with a stupid reset button. Obama then carry they
didn't even want to push the Magnetski Act after Sarage
Madnisky rotted and then was murdered in a prison cell.
International news story. A lot of people knew about it,

(15:07):
they didn't really care because they thought they had more important,
better things to focus on and to do. John Kerry
tried to stop the Magnetski Act. Barack Obama his administration
tried to stop the Magnetski Act. They were soft on
Russia because they were soft on everybody because their foreign
policy was weak. So and I don't need all the

(15:30):
former Obama types, all the former you know Obama officials.
Two lecture us on foreign policy. And I also don't
need the Bush people, thanks for the wars that you
know never end. Push folks, I don't really need them either,
to be telling all the rest of us how this
needs to go. I'm gonna get more in this specifics
and NATO here in just a moment, and you'll probably
hear you talk more about Red Notice another time. Excellent
book though highly highly recommend and I think you'll all

(15:53):
be very glad if you pick up a copy and
check it out for yourself. Eight four four n eight
to five eight four four we'll talk more about this
whole NATO Kerfoffel coming up. There's no question that he
was beating up on on the end Stoltenberg in a

(16:16):
deliberate way. He was playing to the camera and he
knew what he was doing. And I can only think
that he was setting on a trajectory that we're going
to see throughout this meeting in Brussels, and it's only
going to, you know, further sour his welcome in the
UK for the next leg of his trip. So I
think he is determined to blow up an alliance that
has America created, as you have pointed out there at

(16:40):
the creation Uh, we are now witnessing what could be
the destruction just the coolest spade to spade. The President
says it's unfair to the US and to the taxpayers.
But NATO's budget is determined on the size of each
individual economy. That's why the US spends more. The US
wants to spend more of domestic g EP on its

(17:00):
own military. Europe thought that Europe was safe after the
collapse of the Soviet Union. It was after Russia changed
the rules of the game that they realized they had
to spend more. And yes, Saltenburg told President Trump that
that's exactly what I've been doing. So not that it matters,
I guess to CNN, but I'm a poor is wrong there.

(17:21):
The the the budget is is by percentage of of
g d P, so each state there has to is
supposed to meet two of their gross domestic product. Uh.
And the NATO estimate is that about fifteen members a
little over half of the twenty nine total members. Remember
we got Montenegro in there. Oh uh, we'll actually meet that.

(17:45):
But it's more than just the money. Of the money
is important, it's about the mentality. The mentality being that
these Russian I mean, these European states have this idea
that they get to spend all this stuff on their
social welfare programs, and then they get to kind of
thumb their noses that America knowing that we are the big,
benevolent brother across the ocean that will come save their

(18:08):
butts when need be, because we've done it before a
couple of times. Actually, And by the way, Andrea Mitchell's
comment about blowing up the alliance, does anybody want to
place a bet about whether there'll be any significant change
to the NATO alliance because of what Trump is doing
right now? I would. I would place a large bet

(18:29):
if I could. The only change is that we've already
gotten a change, which is that NATO has pledged because
of the tough talk from Trump, NATO has pledged to
boost their spending. Well, gee whiz, isn't that something of
a of a massive surprise, right? I Mean, Trump is

(18:51):
over there, he's saying enough is enough. But you see,
here's one of the reasons why Trump has the freedom
of action here to actually do something. Most presidents, really,
all presidents in the post Soviet era, have advisors around
them and have a media complex that is on the
same sheet of music when it comes to NATO. NATO

(19:12):
has established the greatest period of global security and it
is amazing. Trump shows up and he he doesn't care
what people think about the consensus, the conventional wisdom. He
wants to know what are we doing and what are
we getting out of this? Is this worthwhile? Is this
something we should do? It's oddly enough for so many people,

(19:34):
an intellectually more honest way to approach an issue like this,
what's really going on with NATO. But the other part
of this, too is that the left, they don't really
care about NATO. He's holding the line for America. Buck

(20:03):
Sexton his back. Germany is a rich country. They talked
about they can increase it is tig e bien by well,
they could increase it immediately tomorrow and have no problem.

(20:23):
I don't think it's fair to the United States. So
we're gonna have to do something because we're not gonna
put up with it. We can't put up with it,
and it's inappropriate. I think it's very unfair to our country.
It's very unfair to our taxpayer, and I think that
these countries have to step it up. Not over a
ten year period have to step it up immediately. Let's
a very small amount of money relative to what they

(20:43):
owe and to what they should be paying, and it's
an unfair burden of the United States. So we're here
to talk about that, and I'm sure it will be resolved.
We all agree that you have to do more. Law
scale was the biggest thing to in defense spending inclse
youfin on the in the generation? Why was that last year?
It's also your leadership to be close to a message

(21:06):
on on hey Wall, right that I've sent it to
fort This has gotten in decades, by the way, this
has gotten from many presidents, but no other president brought
it up like I bring it up. Trade, NATO, ally, spending, immigration.
These are issues where we have been told one thing

(21:26):
for decades, and that thing we've been told is at
least partially untrue, in some cases largely untrue. All Right,
That that that we can't just have a more honest
discussion about all of this is to our detriment until
Trump came along, and now we can finally talk about it.
You know, you see a lot of people go, oh

(21:48):
my gosh, he's he's being so mean. He's saying this
stuff about how Germany gets. Yeah, Germany gets about thirty
of its natural gas, primarily used for heating. It gets
its natural gas from Russia from Russian pipelines, and the Russians,
by the way, are not unwilling to shut down those
pipelines occasionally to kind of show people whose boss. And

(22:11):
from what I understand, it's very cold and Dusseldorf in
like January. So yeah, there is a real connection there.
There's Russian influence. Russia is going to have influence, particularly
in former Soviet states that is difficult for us to
counter on a cultural level. I'm not saying it's I
possible to saying that there there's gonna have there's gonna

(22:33):
be influence. I mean there are countries like Latvia where
there are Russian, large numbers of Russian speakers, and you know,
I think what you're seeing happening here is the the
final recognition from a lot of people who have been
criticizing Trump about NATO along that he's right. Stoldenberg said it.

(22:55):
He's like, yeah, we're spending more Monday because of you. Like, yeah,
that's right, you guys need to spend more money. It's
it's also a question of put your money where your
mouth is, have more skin in the game. The European
states spending more on their own defense makes them think
differently about their foreign policy, makes them think differently about

(23:16):
there uh, their expenditures across the board. And there is
no reason why we should be in a position to
think that if something were to go really bad in
Europe with the Russia visa, be the Russians, that it
would fall on us to really counter the Germany is
an industrial powerhouse, huge population, very wealthy. I know some

(23:40):
people get a little nervous about the Germans, you know,
building up their military for obvious reasons, right, history and
all that. But you know this, this is the kind
of conversation that can actually move the needle. Senator Barosso,
by the way, spoke about this issue of German energy.
He's totally correct. Place seven. The President is unique and

(24:01):
unconventional in his approach, but he is absolutely right in
what he is saying. You know, Germany decided to get
rid of all its nuclear power plants and as a
result became more dependent on Russia for energy, and energy
is called the master resource for a reason. It powers
economies at powers countries. It is a forced multiplier. It
is an instrument of power, and when Germany is more

(24:23):
dependent on Russia for energy, that gives Russia that much
more power over Germany and over the European Union as well.
It is absolutely true so the German decision making. And
for those who are wondering, black block the tactic that
you will see, this is a little fun. This is
why you listened to this show because I know all
kinds of random fun stuff. Black block is actually schwartzer block.

(24:47):
It comes from Germany. Remember this is where you have
these guys, the anarchists, dressed in black from head to toe,
and they run around and they act like street protest paramilitaries. Uh.
You know, and Antifa uses black block as a tactic.
Now an antiphon black block almost feel indistinguishable. Where's my
Antifa call out, John, You've got nothing for me? Uh.

(25:10):
It started though in Germany as a protest against nuclear
energy back and I think the eighties. So they have
the left in Germany get rid of nuclear power plants
and as a result, there's a much greater reliance on
the fossil fuels coming in from Russia, which means that

(25:31):
Russian and German economic interests are more intertwined, which means,
by the way, the Russians have a lot more leverage
to apply to the the industrial and economic powerhouse of
the EU, which is Germany. So you know, while everyone's
running around lecturing, lecturing Trump about lecturing the NATO alliance,

(25:53):
the truth is, you know, Europe needs to get its
act together a little bit here on geopolitics and the
strategy that it has to counter Russia's moves here. Not
something that you know, you just don't hear the from
other people. By the way, Barroso also had some good
comments on Putin. Not people don't sit around saying, oh,
Putin's our good friend, he's our buddy. Everything's gonna be fine. No,

(26:15):
we understand what we are up against here with Putin.
The thing Putin's a thug. Pud's a thug. Yeah, we
know that. What do we do about it? What do
all the people chest? Something? I saw him? Was it
Donna bash? Don't call her Dana Donna Bash? Asking Vice
President Pence earlier in the week. You know, is Russia

(26:35):
a foe? Can you? Will you call them a foe?
It's like, no, lady, He's not gonna call Russia a foe.
The Vice President Nited States is not gonna basically say yeah,
Russia is an enemy before the president is about to
sit down with their president and have a conversation about
US Russia relations. He's not gonna do that, all right.

(26:56):
So as as cute as that as that game is,
by the way, she doesn't do it for Clara for
cation purposes. The reason CNN asks the VP of that
question is so when they won't call Russia and enemy,
everyone goes, oh my gosh, he's in Putin's pocket. Look
at this, Look at that. It's so bad. Look what
he's doing. It's just all a game to them. They're
not even serious about NATO. Are the same the same

(27:20):
leftists who completely recoil at the use of any US
military power that's actually in our interests. That they love it,
that they love to put our guys in some third
world hellhole where we have no national security interests. But
you know, people over there there's some kind of tribal
warfare going on or something. You know, the left loves that,

(27:40):
but they don't actually like the projection of US military
power as a general idea. And with NATO, they're just
pretending to care about this, right now because it's another
opportunity to get hysterical and freak out about Trump. Barossa
though on pute I mentioned this, I learned is this
the sentator Borrossa a brassa rather up rosso barosso on

(28:01):
Putin pliclibate. And it seems like it's more than half
of German energy is coming from Russia. NATO was established
for the right reasons in nineteen nine as a deterrence
against then the Soviet Union, with the same applies today
with Russia and Vladimir Putin is cunning, he's aggressive, who's
he's opportunistic. He will use everything he can to gain

(28:23):
an advantage, and when he has an opportunity to use
energy as a geopolitical weapon to gain an advantage, he
will do so. That's why I believe President Trump is
absolutely right to bring the fight as he is. I agree.
And by the way, this also goes to how you
can thank conservatives and their capitalist approach for the single

(28:47):
greatest weapon deployed in the last twenty years against authoritarian
states from Russia to Saudi Arabia to Venezuela to Iran.
Oh By that's right, fracking and the shale oil revolution.
In this country, which the environmentalist nut job left and

(29:09):
the the Democrat progressive media apparatus opposed tooth and nail
everything they had putin, would be in a much stronger,
much more aggressive place right now if we were not
the hydrocarbon superpower that we've become, and if the price
of oil per barrel had not dropped so precipitously because

(29:29):
of the glut in supply thanks to a bunch of
American oil companies and engineers and and oil workers who
are using the economics of the energy industry as one
of our single most important foreign policy tools. It is

(29:50):
is absolutely essential. Uh. And you don't hear nearly by
the Obama was opposing that he you know, not only
the Russian reset. Do you ever hear them talk about
that anymore? By the way, the Russian reset, Yeah, we
know Obama was bowing to everybody. But do you ever
hear about the Russian recent No, the answer is no,
not only here about that, but the Obama administration was
opposing shale, was opposing the very kinds of oil technologies

(30:12):
and the exploration that allowed by it that has put
us in this position right now. Not only are you
paying less at the pump because of it, but also
foreign dictators have less cash to throw around to fund paramilitaries,
to fund nuclear and missile technology research. Our economic advantage,
our technological advantages is everything right, it's it's it's essential

(30:36):
to our role in the world, and the Left is
everything they can to try and stifle that. One more
thing I just have to note here, and it goes
back to this Donna Bosh interview with Pence. Vice President Pence,
think about what we really want in Russia. It's enormous country.

(30:58):
It spans what seven time zones, population over a hundred
million people. It's got thousands of nuclear weapons. It is
from a land and resources, uh perspective, still something of
a superpower, right from a resources perspective, not as an economy.
It's its economy is pretty pretty weak. What do we
really want? We want modernization, liberalization and rule of law there.

(31:22):
We want a real political opposition, and we want people
to stop supporting Vladimir Putin. Putin has been very lucky.
You don't hear about this from other analysts because they
don't know crap. But Putin, for all of his flaws,
has presided over the creation of a Russian Middle class,
something that did not exist before. The Russians in the
nineties after the collapse of the Soviet Union, were utterly humiliated. Humiliated. Okay,

(31:48):
you had guys with pH ds that were trying to
sell t shirts on the street and driving cabs literally,
that's what was going on. And with Putin and then
the privatization, which was there was massive theft and that's
how the oligarchs became billionaires. But with privatization you had
Russians who finally had cash in their pockets. And then

(32:09):
over time, overall there was more wealth in Russian society.
And now you'll see Russians out, you know, and if
you go to any global vacation spot, you'll see Russians
wearing fancy track shoots, track suits with you know, very
very expensive watches. And that's just you know how some
of them roll, right, the rich Russians. But we want

(32:30):
a situation where the Russian people say, hey, you know
Putin and his guys, they're actually a bunch of corrupt jerks.
That's not gonna happen. We don't help the Russian opposition
having the press in this country pretend that Russia is
a boogeyman, that hides under every bed that the Russians
are our enemies now and forever, that Russia is an

(32:51):
enemy state. They want to talk I mean, you know,
clowns like Joe Scarborough saying that Trump is doing Putin's
work here. They want to talk about doing Putin's work
convincing the American people that Russia is not an opportunity
for us, that the Russian people are never going to
be friends and allies of ours. The way that European
states are is doing more to help Putent than anything

(33:13):
Trump has ever imagined. And that's the truth. Like I said,
you won't to hear that because they just you know,
I I'm really amazed I see this. There are so
many multi millionaire journalists out there who I just get
the feeling haven't read a book in about ten years.
It's just the truth, paid all this money, have these platforms,
don't know a damn thing. But you know, I don't

(33:38):
know they're they're friends with Jeff Zucker or something. I
don't know what to say. It's just it's astonishing what
goes on out there. Uh. And the ignorance that is
on display from our press corps on these issues, and
and the games they play too. They pretend to care
about NATO and US national security. Meanwhile they're doing so
much to actually undermine it. It's just just incredibly frustrating.

(34:00):
Eight four to eight to five, eight four four, nine
hundred buck team. I've got much more, including the the
fight against Kavanaugh. We're gonna get into that in the
second hour. So stay right there, ol man. You know,

(34:29):
we we have launched this uh this network hill dot TV,
and it is wild down here my friends. Just want
to take a moment to tell you all, I really
really appreciate all the support you've been give me. Launching
a a digital TV network is is quite an undertaking.
Let me let me tell you this is uh uh,
you know, it requires a lot of long nights. I
actually have my first time where I had to bust out.

(34:51):
I've got a a camping pillow and a pad that
you blow up, you know, one of those things you
put on the ground when you're out camping. I had
to take a nap in the office because I put
it requires here. It's an all hands on deck scenario.
But you know we had LANDI Davis on earlier this
week for a great interview, got picked up by all
these different outlets across the country that we're talking about it. Um.

(35:11):
Obviously we kicked it off with the Jeff Sessions interview,
and I think we're really in a groove. And for
those of you who are OSS who have been listening
to the Buck Sexton Show for a while, uh, and
if you go back to the Saturday show and when
I was still doing The Blaze, something fun that's going on.
We've got a panel now that we're doing daily where
I'm trying to get in as many of my old

(35:34):
Blaze buddies as possible. You know, I'm really pushing and
doing everything that I can, uh, in order to get
to a place where we're having all those old Blaze
names you know and love. Right. We've had Lawrence Jones on,
Tara set Mayor, We've been having on you know, so
many people that I used to get to work with

(35:56):
the Blaze, and I'm telling you we are having some
of the very best political discussions, best political panels. Uh.
It's so much fun. And I really think you should
check it out. It's great. By the way, no subscription
or anything, it's just hill dot tv, slash rising to
check out the show. If you can't watch it live,
don't worry. It's meant to be watched in segments whenever

(36:16):
you want throughout the day. So thank you all, by
the way for the the support and and the the
emails and the Facebook messages about it. It really means
a lot. And we know we have our launch party
tonight later on in d C, which would be fun.
I've never had a launch party. Before launch party, I
feel like I should be wearing a top hat and
a monocle. But it's gonna be a lot of fun.

(36:37):
All right. I'm gonna get back into the substance here
of what's going on in the country. You have this
Kavanaugh opposition that is completely unhinged. It's completely out of control,
and and I want to I want to take this
and give you there's some important um conclusions that we
need to draw from this. There are some important things

(36:58):
that I want you to keep in mind as we
think about just why they're so anti Kavanaugh. Why are
they so completely and utterly divorced from reality, from any
sense of morality. Uh, They're just they're attacking this guy
with everything they've gotten. And I really do want to
get into what I see as the meetings, the meeting

(37:20):
behind this and also where all that's gonna go, So
that is coming up in the second hour. Team stay
right there, listen. Do you have animals digging under your fence,
pets escaping, or predators and pests coming in? Are you
tired of trying bricks, wood or concrete. Let me tell
you about dig Defense. It's genius. It extends the protection

(37:41):
of your fence underground. Just installed at the base of
any fence to protect your pet and your property. A
hammer and gloves are all that is needed to install
dig Defense and stop that digging. No more chasing Fido
as he runs around the backyard. Chase him around the
backyard enclosed and safe. That's what you want to do.
It stop the dig now with dig Defense available online

(38:04):
at Loews, Tractor Supply Menards Wayfair and stop the dig
dot com. And now for the month of July, is
it Stop the dig dot com and use the promo
code buck for ten percent off that stop the dig
dot Com and use promo code b U c K.
That's promo code Buckets. Stop the dig dot com for
ten percent off your entire order. Buck Sexton Permission decoding

(38:29):
the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Mag no mistake, American,
You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show, analysts,
no judge Kavanaugh, if he has abjuctive would be the

(38:57):
swing boat in deciding whether he can pardon himself get
out of jail free path. Amazingly, he said the court
should consider a constitutional challenge to the health care law,
the Affordable Care Act, and openly criticized the Supreme Court
decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act. This is about

(39:22):
replacing the authority of government, putting the government's authority ahead
of the authority of a woman to make a decision
about her own body and her future. They don't have
a single line of attack against Kavanaugh. They really don't.
They don't know what they're gonna do. The don't know
what they're gonna say other than just oh my gosh,

(39:43):
she's hitler. They got nothing. And I've realized something I've
been telling you for some time that I believe that
liberalism has entered a phase where it is a mass delusion.
That we've entered her a realm where liberals are engaged

(40:03):
in a a true disassociation from reality, a hysteria. And
what I'm realizing now is also they have a compulsion.
Notice how you're hearing a lot of stuff about how
Kavanaugh is bad, but he's really bad because of Trump.

(40:26):
And not only is Kavanaugh bad because of Trump, he's
bad because Trump may need Kavanaugh because of the Russia
collusion investigation, to save him from criminal jeopardy. Everything somehow
on the political left turns into a a screed about

(40:49):
Donald Trump. Everything on the political left is somehow tied
to the notion that Donald Trump is the worst human
being ever. He's coming, He's oken so many They really
take the position that Trump has broken so many laws
that they can't even name one because they're overwhelmed by
all the laws. It's really the most intellectually dishonest framing

(41:10):
of an issue I've I've ever seen, I could I
could ever imagine. But this is where we are now. Uh,
this is in fact what we see from them. Here's
a guy named uh varad Met. How he writes what
Capital's edition to the Supreme Court would mean for environmental
law is that all the fantasy climate change suits the

(41:32):
environl loons are pushing, like the Children's Entrustment suit will
die if they ever make it discotis. Yeah, that's right.
You see, Liberals were able to get away with a
lot of their fantasy land nonsense for a long time.
And now they realize that, you know, the gravy train

(41:55):
is coming to an end. You might actually have to
get the American people to agree with you, um and
and you might have to get things passed through the legislature.
And then oh, by the way, they can be changed
when things go back. See. One of the things that
that I think often gets overlooked here, very very important

(42:18):
is that for liberals, Supreme Court judgments that go their
way are better than laws. They're better than laws because
laws can be repealed, loss can be easily overturned. Right
there there. They have not yet made the argument, well
not openly at least, But the left is not yet

(42:40):
made the argument that, well, what one Congress does, another
congress cannot undo. But they do make the argument that
what the Supreme Court gives the left once can never
be taken away. So they view this like whenever they
get a a by judicial fiat from a Supreme court,
whenever the progressives, the Democra that party has some you know,

(43:02):
major win, they can they can count on that that's
in the bank for them forever. That moves the political
and cultural trajectory of the United States in their direction irrevocably.
So it's not only and this this really came to
me last night. It's not only that they can't get

(43:24):
some of these things that they wouldn't be able to
get nationwide abortion, nationwide same sex marriage, nationally. A lot
of this stuff has been or you know, pretending affirmative
action is constitution, all these things that are that are
national level, top down policy from the Supreme Court. It's
not just that they don't have to go through the legislature,

(43:45):
which they are very happy about. It's that, on top
of that, they feel like it is always and forever
going to be that way. Clearly that's the case with
Roe v. Wade. I mean, the way that the American
left speaks about Row the Wade right now is with

(44:06):
a great deal more reverence than they speak about the
actual constitution of the United States, because you're seeing a
lot of ah, gosh, should we really have lifetime appointments
for Supreme Court justices? Is oh gosh, you know, did
people really know stuff in seventeen seventy six that that
should affect us today. You know, they they will question

(44:27):
and I am you know, I'm not exaggerating this is
this is true. Liberals will question the importance and the
wisdom of the Supreme Courts, I mean of the Constitution.
But Roe v. Wade is sacred. Roe v. Wade is
the closest thing the Left has to a sacred text,

(44:52):
and the fact that it has led to a demonic
outcome that has killed millions and millions and millions of
tiny babies is a truth that I don't think that
the progressive left can ever allow itself to face up to.
Another part of this as well. It's not just that

(45:14):
they think that their Supreme Court handed down victories are forever.
There's also that part in the back of liberals minds
that tells them whether they benefited from a from action
and they know it, or they chose to have an

(45:35):
abortion and they know it, or any number of things
that are that could in fact be that could in
fact be reversed by a court with Kavanaugh on it.
I think it's hard for some liberals to think of
a future in which they don't have the ability to
point at the Supreme Court and say they told me

(45:58):
it's okay. They told me it's just They tell me
still to this day, that I have a right to
do it. I have a right to do what I
did without that cover, without that veneer of you know,
nine really five most of the time. Although in the
case of Row seven, judges wearing robes pretending that what

(46:22):
millions of Americans have done or have benefited from is
right and ethical and moral, I think many people are
going to have some, let's just say self doubt going forward.
There is a massive psychological component. Two, the Supreme courtinates

(46:43):
decisions for the liberal left. I have a code that
I live by. You don't you do as well. I
don't really care what the Supreme Court says except as
an effects policy. But for a lot of the left,
and particularly on the issue of abortion, they look to
the Supreme Court as the ultimate sanction or their behavior.

(47:07):
And if that were to go away, not only would
it affect future behavior, I think it would affect the
way people look at their own actions in the past,
and that would be a very difficult thing or millions
of our fellow Americans to handle. We've gottahit a quick
break here. I got more on this Kavanaugh opposition, which
is insane. So stay with me. I'm a coffee drinker.

(47:28):
It's honestly something I need to get through my day.
But I don't want you to ever have the feeling
that you need to spit out some weak sauce comie blend.
You should be drinking the good stuff. Have the taste

Black Rifle Coffee dot Com slash buck for percent off
your whole order. There are many messages, and it will

(48:46):
and Kavanaugh was danger will resonate with many groups. Women's freedom,
health freedom, and healthcare would resonate. And because Kavanaugh is
so extreme on the issue of presidential power to the
time when we have a president who has overreached more
than any president in history, the third one resonates too.

(49:09):
I wonder if Chuck Schumer ever gets tired of lying.
I don't mean that he would ever stop lying, but
I mean if he actually gets fatigued by the mental
process of telling so many lies, of making so much
stuff up. First of all, how is Trump just with
that last part of what he said? Someone tell me
how Trump has overreached more than any presidents in history? Uh?

(49:34):
Is Trump putting people in internment camps the way that
FDR did? No, didn't happen? Is he locking up his
political opponents, including journalists, the way that Woodrow Wilson did? No, No, No,
I mean, we we don't even have to go earlier
than the twenty century to find presidents who were overreaching

(49:56):
in ways that are just not even the same stratosphere,
not not even in the same supercluster as what Trump
is doing. Because Trump isn't doing anything wrong. What is
the overreach? The Supreme Court just came out and said, yeah,
his travel ban totally fine. So how is it overreach?
Where is the overreach? Isn't it quite a an incredible

(50:21):
twisting of logic, reality and the law. When enforcing immigration law,
for example, is considered to be overreached, when enforcing immigration
law is radical. I thought the law was something that
we were all bound by, and it had meaning, and
it was something that we were supposed to support. I

(50:41):
thought that the law was actually a necessary component of
a free society. But they're so desperate with this Kavanaugh situation,
they really are, that they're embarrassing themselves. And and this
is not like anything else that we've seen on the
on the legal front, for sure, this is not like

(51:04):
anything else that I can point to and and say
that there have been similarities here before. Um, you know
this is Oh, this is great, by the way, So
Emily Peck, this is a perfect example. I mean, the
self ownage that you're getting from journalists to borrow term
from the left here when they when they own themselves
so to speak, uh is unparalleled with anything else I

(51:29):
can think of. Emily Peck who is a journalist for
I think Slate, but I don't know who cares, but
she's somebody who wrote she she has one headline here
from playing up Brett Kavanaugh as a good dad to
girls is shameless subheading. Trump Supreme Court pick will likely

(51:50):
play a key role in gutting reproductive rights, no matter
how many girls basketball games he coaches. And then with
Obama a year and change ago, the same author rights
men really do get less sexist when they have daughters.
A new study offers the most compelling evidence yet of

(52:12):
the daughter effect. And who is the big photo of
with his daughter? Barack? Who's sane? Obama? Now? Do we
think that Emily Peck I've I've never heard of before
and it's clearly a hack. Do we think that she
doesn't care that we can google this? Does she think

(52:34):
that it? Does it not matter that she has no uh,
you know, absolutely no honesty in her writing and her
thinking and her reporting. I just want to know. I'm
just wondering. But we're seeing so much of this. I
don't know. Do do we have that Colbert SoundBite if

(52:56):
you guys could grab it, I mean, you know what,
it's not even worth It's not even more grabbing forget it.
Colbert on his show said, I don't know much about Kavanaugh,
but his first name sounds more like a waiter at
Ruby Tuesday. Is that is that the best they can do?
Is that supposed to be a joke. His name is Brett,

(53:17):
and Colbert is making fun of the name Brett. I mean,
if his name was Bark, I could understand. His name
is Brett? Is the name Stephen Funny? I know you're
probably sitting there scratching your head, like, are they Are
they such complete idiots? Are they really incapable of understanding
how foolish they sound? Um? I don't I don't have it.

(53:43):
I don't really have all the answers here anymore. That
this is we are in un unexplored and inexplicable territory.
Uh and And I just think that the the opposition
to Kavanaugh is a level of hysteria and lunacy that

(54:04):
is is troubling no matter what happens here, because they're
not even trying to make good faith arguments. They're not
they're not even trying to convince us that they have
anything to say about this that's worthwhile. They're just completely
off the rails, and I just wonder, you know what

(54:25):
it is gonna take for them to understand that they're
we will remember this, we will remember this. Um ah man,
I don't know. We're in a We're in kind of
a crazy place right now, we really are. This is this,
this opposition to Kavanaugh that's coming from people because there's

(54:47):
nothing they can sink their teeth into. You know, I
was a Barrett person. Originally I was somebody who is like,
you know what, Barrett is a great pick, and I
really like it. But now I'm thinking it's actually better
that it's Kavanaugh because he's so squeaky clean, he's so
smart and so perfect for the court. And they will
do they will say anything about him anyway, And what

(55:11):
is this. In an unusual move, Rosenstein asks federal prosecutors
to review Kavanaugh documents. I just saw this break and saying.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has asked prosecutors to help
the Department of Justice review Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's
government documents. According to report in The New York Times

(55:34):
that notes the request is an unusual injection of politics
in the law enforcement duties of the Department Rosenstein made
the request in an email sent to the nation's U
S attorneys. In it, Rosenstein asks each office to provide
up to three federal prosecutors who can make this important
project a priority for the next several weeks. Huh. Asking

(55:58):
U S attorneys to do this is indeed seen as unusual. Um, guys,
I don't trust Rosenstein at all. I think there's I
think there's a big problem here, and I thought that
for quite a while. But this this stuff, you're seeing

(56:20):
the unhinged nature of the opposition to Kavanaugh. I mean,
they're they're upset because somebody wrote a piece about how
Kavanaugh is a nice car pool dad and a nice guy.
And you know, we we can see they do this
all the time. They do this all the time for
different but when when it's for a liberal justice, it's fine. Uh.

(56:44):
CBS News writing here, Friends like former law clerk Alison
Barkoff say that Soda Mayor has a big, engaging New
York personality. Yeah, she's fun, she works hard and plays hard,
Barkoff said. Melissa Murray clerk for two federal judges, including
sodomai Or, and when both judges came to Melissa's wedding,
So do major challenge the other judges to a dance off?

(57:06):
Ha ha ha. Look, I'm fine with these pieces to
talk about the human being that's gonna be sitting on
the Supreme Court. I get it, right, That's that's okay.
But I'm not fine with people freaking out because Kavanaugh
is being treated like a human being too. We have
we have a problem. We have a a country where

(57:28):
a good twenty five or so, about a quarter of
this nation has completely lost its mind. And they watch
MSNBC and they think CNN is honest news, and they
believe that their standards aren't constantly shifting with the wind somehow.
I I don't know what else to say. The opposite
of the Kavan although is truly and utterly insane. It is.

(57:51):
It is insane. And it's just if we're not even
in the in the hearings phase yet, right, Uh, they're
not even the hearing s phase. This is just gonna
get nuttier and nuttier as we go forward. So we'll see.
And yeah, the truth is, at the end of the day,
they just they got nowhere to go with this Kavanaugh hate.
He's too good, he's too good for the left. But

(58:13):
they'll be lucky enough to live in a country where
he sits on the Supreme Court. He's back with you now,
because when it comes to the fight for truth, the
fuck never stops. I've been telling you all for a

(58:39):
while that elite universities in this country are overrated, wildly overrated,
that they don't represent what they pretend to, that they're
churning out a lot of self entitled babies, weren't nearly
as smart as they think they are. And look, I mean,
for those of you I've gotten a few of you
said emails local book what Amorus is considered the umber

(59:00):
one or number two best liberal arts college in the country.
It's where I went. And everything that I'm saying about
these other schools is applicable to AMers as well. Okay,
so I'm not like picking on other This isn't a
rivalry thing, although with Cornell and Brown I do have
special ire. But in general and the U S News
and Rules Reports study, I said that that's about college
is not universities, right, So generally in the u S

(59:21):
News and Ruled Report, the number one university is Harvard,
Number two is you know m I T. Three is Yale,
or something like that. And then with colleges it's usually Amerst.
Williams Haverford. I'm here to tell you all those rankings.
And and this this obsession with academic elitism is reallyant
turning into a joke. These schools are turning out, are
are churning out a lot of people who are not

(59:43):
very smart, not very impressive, haven't learned very much. What
they have is some means of via the system getting
into these places which are overwhelmingly not hard to stay
in and are not training people for the real world.
And this is a problem, and they're the indoctrination that
goes on. To me, the ideological polarization that's occurring and

(01:00:06):
on the most elite campuses in the country is is
bad news, folks, because because all these little social justice
warriors that are you know, coming out of Stanford and
Duke and Harvard and Yale and all these places. Now
they are going to use that credential to try and
be in a position in a matter of you know, decades,
maybe just a matter of years were they're telling you

(01:00:27):
what to do with your life and trying to tell
the rest of us they know better. Because Lily went
to whatever right, although you don't you want to know
why people get into schools these days, They get into
school because of legacy admission. That's true. That's a real thing.
Although if you look at and this is what no
one ever likes to talk about, I know, the admission
thing backwards and forward, so people rarely like to debate
it with me. But if they ever want to give

(01:00:47):
it a shot, legacy admissions are generally within the round,
with within the realm of of all or within the
average of all admitted students, meaning that you generally not
you don't have people to get in a legacy who
have much lower sets, are much lower grades. They're in
the same range, and the legacy thing is what puts

(01:01:09):
them above. That is not true of two other categories,
diversity and athletics. Uh. With diversity, I mean with the
athletics thing. Depending on the school, you can get people
that are way below the academic average who are especially
for the big sports, so football, basketball, uh, some schools

(01:01:30):
ice hockey, you know, but way below the academic average.
They get in because of their an athletic admit and
infects some places that aren't even d one schools have
spots set aside and the coach basically gets to pick
people and just bring them in as long as they
have bare minimum requirements. And then with diversity, where when
you look at and this is why Harvard so up

(01:01:51):
in arms right now, and they don't want to share
their internal information because what you'll see is that preferred
minorities are way below the average on s a t
S and AIDS for the rest of their class. And
the preferred minorities are basically everybody who is not white
or Asian or kind of Eastern European or Middle Eastern

(01:02:11):
or or South Asian, you know, so East Asian, South
Asian not preferred. Um, it's if you are Native American, Hispanic,
African American, you know, Latino Pacific islander, or just an
international student. You although it's different from the national students
with the s a t S, but those are the
those are the special admits, and so people are getting

(01:02:33):
in for reasons that have nothing to do with being
so hard working, being so smart. There's just all this
different stuff that goes into it. Okay, I'm telling you
all of this because I think it's necessary to background
to understand how Yale Law School could have an open
letter from tons of It's Ye Law School is very

(01:02:54):
very small. It's it's in the it's it's like a
couple of hundred, a few hundred of class. So this
isn't isn't even just underground. This is Yale Law School,
which is where Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court nominee, went
to school, and it is considered the most elite law
school in the country. And here we have Yale Law

(01:03:14):
School students who have written an open letter regarding Brett Kavanaugh.
I want to read this to you so that you
understand just what we're up against, because all these kids
and these alumni from Yale are gonna say, look at me,

(01:03:35):
I went to Ye Law School. I'm so smart. I'm
so smart. A lot of them are not nearly as
antellection as impressive as they think they are. Many of
them aren't impressive at all, and they have a serious
case of Trump's arrangement syndrome going on. Here. Well, I'm
gonna read you this is not in I'm not gonna
read the whole thing because it will take the entire
segment of the entire hour practically, but I'll read you

(01:03:56):
some very important segments from this just to show you
that apparently they don't teach the law at Yale Law really,
or they don't teach critical reasoning and sound thinking, that's
for sure. Here's what they write two Dean Gherkin and
the Yale Law School leadership. We write today blah blah
blah about Judge Kavanaugh's intellect, influence and mentorship of students. Uh.

(01:04:19):
Judge Kavanaugh's nomination presents an emergency for democratic life, for
our safety and freedom, for the future of our country.
His nomination is not an interesting intellectual exercise to be
debated among classmates and scholars in seminar. Support for Kavanaugh
is not a political It is a political choice about

(01:04:41):
the meaning of the Constitution and our vision of democracy,
a choice with real consequences for real people. Without a doubt,
Judge Kavanaugh is a threat to the most vulnerable. He
is a threat to many of us, despite the privilege
bestowed by our education, simply because of who we all are.
We just stopped for a second there. Kavanaugh is a

(01:05:03):
threat to them. Are these people children? These are law
students there at least in their mid to late twenties,
right the most elite law school in the country. He's
a threat to them. This is what they write. These
are the people, by the way that you know during
the next Democrat administration. And it's like World Show and
so went to Yale Law School and you're supposed to say,

(01:05:25):
oh wow, it must be really smart. There's not. They're
just not. Let me go with a little bit more here,
Judge Kavanaugh would act as a rubber stamp for President
Trump's fraud and abuse. Despite working with Independent Council Ken
Start to prosecute Bill Clinton, Kavanaugh has called upon Congress
to exempt sitting presidents from civil suits. He has also

(01:05:46):
noted a serious constitutional question exists with regarding whether a
president can be criminally indicted. This reversal does not reflect
high mining consideration, but rather naked partisanship at a time
when the president and his associates are under investigation for
various crimes. Blah blah. This is all the same thing, folks.
These these kids are a bunch of These kids are

(01:06:07):
a bunch of clowns. And these this alumni. And this
is what I've been telling you though, it's very important
what you see at the undergrad level on these campuses,
whether they're all you know, whose streets are streets Atifa,
you know, all that stuff. What you see happening on
these college campuses has now extended into the law schools too.

(01:06:28):
The law schools have become little laboratories of progressivism as well.
And if you want to get good grades, if you
want to get uh, certain kinds of jobs, you know,
elite positions, you need to be in good standing with
that law school community, which means you need to talk
to talk about diversity and about social justice and all
this stuff. These are these are all really increasingly becoming

(01:06:49):
code words for power in the hands of the left,
the eradication of actual merits and excellence and its replacement
with rule by the mob up oh, colocracy, rule by
you know, the rabble on the street, whoever happens to
have power at any given moment. They closed this this letter,

(01:07:12):
which is full of just sheer idiocy. Kavanaugh is the
gold standard, folks. This is what this is why it's
so important to look at this. There there's no high
minded arguments to be made here. There's nothing that they
can say that will change this. Kavanaughs the gold standard
of what you can get as as a Supreme Court justice.
And anything to the contrary, anything else that they're saying
is complete and utter nonsense. Okay, Kavanaugh was actually hired

(01:07:36):
by Justice Kagan, who sits on the Supreme Court. Okay,
This is a quote from the Boston Globe. When Elana
Kagan was dean of Harvard Law School, she was in
search of rising conservative legal stars. They're traditionally liberal campus
could use a little ideological diversity, she thought, with more
robust debate and the challenge of different viewpoints. Among Kagan's

(01:07:57):
hires as a visiting professor was a newly appointed Federal
Appeals Court judge from Washington named Brett Kavanaugh. Not only
did Kavana go to Yale undergrad annual law school, not
only did he clerk for Justice Kennedy, whom he is replacing,
but a sitting leftist Supreme Court Justice. Elana Kagan hired

(01:08:19):
him specifically because of his intellect, his pedigree, his honesty.
This is a slam dunk. This is a slam dunk.
And all you see are liberals saying there's no there's
no hoop, there's no net. Oh no, I just saw
him dunk. Gres. Nope, there's no hoop, there's no net.
They are denying the obvious reality. It is pathetic, but

(01:08:41):
it's also scary because what you see in this Yale
Law open letter about how Kavanaugh is a threat to them,
that that is their verbians, that their word a threat
to them. What you see is the truth of the
modern progressive position, which is not that conservatism and constitutionalism

(01:09:06):
are an alternative viewpoint or even just a different way
of thinking. It is increasingly clear, and I really want
you to listen to this, and I want you to
remember it because it is critical. It's critical for the
future of this country. It's critical for your own debates
with people on this issue, and it's critical also to
keep you safe on the streets these days, depending on
what parts of the country you are in. Progressivism has

(01:09:31):
seeped into this other realm where they no longer oppose
you on the battlefield of ideas, but they seek to
make your ideas unacceptable entirely in the public square. And
the way they do that is by saying that you
are in fact a threat, that your ideas are tantamount

(01:09:53):
to violence. And you know how I break this down
and how I reason through this. What is a legitimate
response to something that people believe is effectively the same
thing as violence. You know the answer. It is violence.
That's where we are heading. If they don't stop, if

(01:10:18):
someone does not wake them up, if they do not
get a dose of reality, calm down, stop lying, stop
the hyperbole, stop the psychosis about TROMP and fascism and
all of this. We are heading for a very dangerous place.
That the most elite law school in the country could

(01:10:39):
have so many students produce such a buffoonish, childish and
stupid letter is a very disconcerting sign of where we
are heading. And I think we would be remiss if
we did not pay some did not pay much closer
attention to what's going on with us. I mean this, folks,
this could be a very big problem. I'm telling you

(01:10:59):
I have never been going on radio before saying this,
but this is going to get ugly. This is going
to spiral out of control. They cannot be reasoned with anymore.
They don't want to convince you, they don't even just
want to mock you. They are trying to seize the
moral high ground by telling each other, by brainwashing each

(01:11:21):
other into thinking your ideas are a threat to them.
What do people do in response to a threat? Generally
not write a strongly worded letter or tweet. We've got
a lot more stay with me. It does appear that

(01:11:50):
Lisa Page apparently has something to hide. Uh. She has
been in complete defiance of cooperation with the House Judiciary
Committee and the Oversight and Government of Committee for seven
months now. There have been two subsequent letters and two
subpoenas issued for her appearance, and she has defied all
of that. This subpoena is still in effect. I think

(01:12:14):
it's very important for her to understand that, and she
should comply with it, and she should comply with it
now before she's held in contempt of Congress, which could
happen as soon as Friday. You know, you'd think a
former FBI agent or current I'm sorry, current FBI agent,
you think that maybe she would understand that that a
subpoena is not a suggestion A A subpoena is not

(01:12:40):
something that you get to just say, you know what,
I don't feel like doing that today. And yet we
see once again this double set of laws here where
on the one side, if you were to not go
along with a subpoena, if you were to skip and

(01:13:01):
just decide that you know, you didn't really care about
something like this, you would probably have a warn out
for your arrest. But here you go with anti Trump
FBI lawyer Lisa Page deciding she can defy a congressional
subpoena because you know, she hasn't had the time to
review the documents. How hard is this? She's an FBI lawyer, folks, Well,
what does she think they're gonna ask her? She's stalling,

(01:13:24):
She is trying to find a way out of this.
And yeah, you know, I don't like when people play
the game about you know, oh well they're pleading the
fifth they might have they have something to hide. Okay,
in this case, it does sort of feel like she
has something to hide because she's not even if why
can't you show up and plead the fifth She won't
do that, probably because she knows how bad that would look.

(01:13:46):
But so instead of doing that, she's claiming that she
needs more time to uh look over these documents. She
she refused to attend the House judiciaryan Oversight committee UH
hearing today, and she's got into a Friday or she'll
be held in contempt. Look, they the FBI has tried

(01:14:07):
so hard to cover for We've been seeing this time
and again. They tried to cover for Page and Struck,
and I just have to keep throwing in there. Struck
was an FBI counterintelligence senior officer, that he would be
writing the stuff that he wrote on his work device.
I was an NYPD Intelligence Division specialist. It was essentially

(01:14:29):
a civilian contractor working counter chairs and I never would
have been writing the kind of stuff this guy was writing.
All my work device. Everything is every it's part of discovery.
I'm working for law enforcement organization. It's searchable. And people
would say, well, oh, but you know, he can't be
that this page and Page is a lawyer. All she

(01:14:51):
does is look through this stuff. They can't be that
stupid buck Well, I see you. It's not stupidity, it's hubris.
It's hubris. Just like Hillary with the email. It's not
that they forgot that they could get caught. It's that
they assumed they would never get caught, and if they did,
it wouldn't matter because they have a different set of rules.
That is at the heart of so much of what

(01:15:13):
we've seen with d o J, with FBI, with this
whole uh effort, this deep state, police state effort to
stop the Trump presidency, to undermine the Trump presidency once
it was actually happening. And I think people have realized
that this is just far too much and we want answers.

(01:15:34):
And if they hold her in contempt, I think they
can send the sergeant sergeant at arms of the Congress.
I think there is a process where they can arrest her.
I say, arrest her now, teach her a lesson. She's
had plenty of people arrested for a lot less I
can promise you that it's time. DJ has to play
by the rules too. And the FBI buckets decoding the

(01:15:54):
news and disseminating information, who is actionable intelligence, make no mistakes,
are great American Again, this is the buck Sexton Show.
No welcome back everybody. As you know, I work for

(01:16:19):
the Hill and do this show called Rising, which you
can see at Hill dot tv slash Rising. We had
a great paneled, a lot of fun, but we also
have access to some fantastic reporters, some great commentary people,
and a media reporter in particular comes to mind, the
one and only Joe Kanscho. Folks. Not only is he
joining us here on the buck Sexton Show, he is

(01:16:41):
in studio in the d C Freedom Hunt Swamp Studio,
which is exciting, Joe, welcome. Is that what this place
is called the Freedom Hunt Swamp Studio pretty much to
to differentiate it from the New York Studio, which I
tell people the politics and New York are bad, but
at least everybody if there is kind of a capitalist,
whereas here they're all just leeches off of the taxpair.

(01:17:02):
Well let's let's let's talk about capitalism just for a moment,
just just in the side. Guys, I come in today
and I'm dead tired. I came from New York. I
come down to Washington and I said, Buck, we'res some
good coffee around here, and you offered up the Black
Rifle Coffee Company, and it is incredible. I'm gonna be
awake for days now. I tell you, guys this. I
didn't tell him to say this. I did give him

(01:17:22):
the Black Rifle and now he's a Now he's a devotee,
if you will, so much better than that comic coffee
that they keep up as strongest clubber Lang man, this
is some good stuff. That's what I'm talking about. So so, Joe,
I want you to by the way, club er Lang,
this also was not planning folks, you will think it
is is the name of producer Mike the EP of
this radio show in New York. His dog is named

(01:17:44):
clubber Lang named four clever movie Ted right, then the
bear want to name himself Ted Clever Lang something right? Yeah,
if he worked it in there. But Joe actually knows
more pop culture than I do. He's also ageless, folks,
so I don't know he could tell me he's twenty
five to sixty five. I have no idea how old
Joe Consche is, so his pop culture references can come
from anywhere. I don't know what I'm dealing with. Here

(01:18:04):
is Rocky three, by the way, there you go. That's
my talent. You can ask me any movie. They'll tell
you the year, as long as the movies after. Let's
just do that once for your audience and the well,
we'll go. Just give me a movie, give you a movie.
Oh gosh, I love this game, all right? Um Predator.
Predator was obviously Schwarzenegger, and Apollo Creed was in that
as well, And Predator was nineteen eighty six. Yes, you,

(01:18:30):
you son of a gun. I cannot believe you pulled
that off on the fly. I would probably think I
was good. No, I'm odd. Guys. I'm here in studio
watching him and he had no Google in the hand. Wow,
I'm impressed. Actually, thank you. It's scary because you know,
we do action movie quote Friday on this show where
people call in and just quote an action movie to
me and I just name it on the fly. Really yeah,
I mean, I mean, I'm a twelfth degree black belt
in action movie quotes. Can we play that once? Just

(01:18:51):
give me a quote and I'll see if I can
name it. You want to do that right now? Right now? Um,
we're totally off on a tangent. So okay, hold on
a second, Uh, come out to the coast, have a
few left. It's obviously John McClain is the first time. Okay, okay, guys,
we got another player in the mix here. This is
gonna be a recurring thing here. I'm gonna bring savor

(01:19:12):
the flavor because next time it's gonna get a little tougher. Buddy.
But I do need you because you are Joe Concha
of the The Hill and you and you do the
media stuff. I'm a big Shannon Breen fan. I'm open
about this. I think Shannon is one of the nicest
people period and also one of the best broadcasters period,
and not just because she has me on her show.
Sometimes I thought that even before I had ever even

(01:19:32):
ever even been on her show. But she was down
at the Supreme Court. Yeah, it's one of these things
not controversial because everybody who knows anything says it. She
was down at the Supreme Court. Said she felt like
it was unsafe for her voluble mood, and she felt threatened.
She said, I've I've never felt threatened in the field
like this before. And this isn't like a Jim Acosta
who likes to draw attention to herself like oh, I'm

(01:19:54):
the victim, you know, or or she she rarely makes
herself the story. She does a very good job at
a show called buck Hole the Fox News at night.
I've been on it. It's at eleven o'clock. Uh, and
she she acts like an anchor and doesn't inject her
opinions into everything, which is refreshing. That's how things used
to be. She asked questions her guests give answers, and
audiences can decide what what they feel about those answers,
and that it's it's almost an antiquated model compared to

(01:20:16):
everything we see in broadcasting these days, and uh, she
was actually mocked. I don't know if it was mocked.
I don't know how. I quite a how i'd put it.
But after she said she felt threatened front of Supreme Court,
Terry Moran of ABC News, a veteran has been around
for a while, said, you know, I didn't feel threatened everything.
Oh yeah, there are some protesters there, but I don't
think that's really the way things were. It's like, wait

(01:20:38):
a minute, man, Ay, she wouldn't have left unless she
felt unless she felt threatened, and b you don't say
those things publicly. I don't think and see when you're
the ABC News reporter. This is the biggest point I
think by the way it's I was building up to it.
You're the benign kind of unknown guy. I know it's broadcast,
but things are different now. It's not like Fox. Fox

(01:21:00):
to liberals is like what CNN is the conservatives. It's
it's a polarizing network to a certain part of the population.
And of course the Fox person, regardless of who it is,
is gonna get a lot of the grief, while the
ABC guy is gonna be ignored because it's ABC. Yeah,
well you've seen this before. I I think Haraldo, who
probably goes out with Neon, signs wearing Fox on him

(01:21:22):
because he likes it when the crowd. Yeah, he likes
it when the crowds agree with Fox News. He's like,
you want a piece for all those A boxer back
that did it, by the way, I bet that's you
can handle himself. He fought Frank stallone on the Howard
Stern Show. Ones. Yeah, you cand YouTube that sometime. It's
it's bizarre. But yeah, he's always in shape. When I
see him at Fox. He actually bikes to work, which
is kind of cool because I think he lives in Jersey,
so that's pretty impressive. And he's sixty eight Heraldo, and

(01:21:43):
he's he's out in you know, riot riot situations and basically, yeah,
he likes the comforence. He's like Bolton, he gets special
powers from the mustache. Is that true? Bolton definitely does.
You should grow a mustache. He he Bolton rubs that
mustache and all of a sudden, foreign policy just changes.
He's rally fingers that that's kind of funny. There you go. Oh,
but since we're talking media world and and giving some

(01:22:05):
much needed sanity injecting so much needed sanity and the
discussion Jeffrey Tuban I said yesterday on the show, just
to to put the proper context out there, that it
feels like Jeffrey tubans brand is to say things that
are obviously incorrect with so much confidence that people who
don't know any better think he knows what he's talking about.

(01:22:26):
I think he's completely lost his marbles on the Supreme
Court thing. Oh God, like, the things that he has
written recently have been something something short of remarkable for
a senior legal analyst for a major international network like CNN.
He actually went on the air in said, and I'm
trying to find the quote here. Of course my phone
is frozen, so I'll just have to paraphrase this unfortunately,

(01:22:47):
but he said that gays will be barred from restaurants,
African Americans will be thrown out of elite schools, that
gun control will be banned in fifty states, regulatory state gone.
He makes these arguments based on the Supreme Court nomination
of Brett Kavanaugh. And you're then to be so stupid

(01:23:08):
to think that the other four conservative judges on there,
not the Kavanaugh, would ever vote for any of these things,
but that Gorsch and Alito and Roberts that they would
vote also to do all these things, banned gaze from restaurants,
and no one, no one checks him on that network.
That's what kills me. He says it, and they just
shake their heads like you're at Babla head Knight at
Nationals Park. Where's the nasty Jake Tapper tweet? Mr facts

(01:23:30):
first all the time? Where's the Jake Tapper tweet on
this one? Folks? It's just all about that that going
down the line. I'm just asking questions. I'm just asking
He's a journalist and he should be fact checking his
own people. You would you would think big ja journalists
who oh gosh, must be hard. I would note the
tube and also made the argument, which I mocked and
enjoy doing so yesterday, that the founders thought everybody was

(01:23:53):
gonna die in their fifties. And you look at the
founders Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, that's pretty much into their eighties,
lived to ninety, which is impressive. I mean we're talking
like an average of about eighties something. That Yeah, I
got the quote. He said when the Constitution was written
in the late eighteenth century people were expected to die
in their fifties. The Framers, because he can get into

(01:24:13):
the Framer's heads. The Framers never contemplated that these terms
would regularly go thirty plus years as they do now,
and that lord's and lifetime terms, which to have been
made that exact argument when President Obama had to Supreme
Court and now, oh, that's right, he didn't make that argument.
And that's what people see. Its selective outrage and suddenly
coming up with excuses as to why Supreme Court justices
shouldn't have lifetime lifetime terms because of the guy who's

(01:24:37):
appointing them, not because he's actually concerned about them being
there for thirty years, which back way back when they
could have been mainstream media hysteria. Now Joe is worse then,
or not as bad as the height of the Russia
collusion hysteria. It's worse. You think it worse now, Yeah,
because there's no accountability for when you say reckless things,

(01:24:58):
irresponsible things, pushed conspiracy theories, all those things. No one
gets fact checked because everybody's loving the ratings too much.
Even though I don't know I see how you make
that case with CNN, because they are down from May
have two thousand seventeen and may have two thousand total
viewers one and four gone. And it hasn't exactly been
a slow news cycle, right, how do you sewers in

(01:25:20):
this news cycle? It's impossible unless people are saying this
is nuts. This is not the CNN that I grew
up with. Seeing then the reason why I got into
journalism there. Their coverage of the first goal for it
was incredible. People ask me why I would go work
for CNN. I also had the perception as somebody who
really was a Fox and MS watcher. I thought of
MS is kind of the opposition and Fox's home team.
I was like, well, CNN, before I worked there, it's

(01:25:40):
it's you know, it's it's the down the middle. And
then having been there and now seeing no, it is
not that is a That is a complete falsehood. It's
just MSNBC with less honesty. It's now A and n
By the way, have an audi news network. There you go.
You gotta have him on. By the way, I've heard
some interesting things. Uh, you are a worthy adversary in
the action movie quotes, You're we're going to have you
back some time, and we're gonna set this up so

(01:26:02):
that callers can come into both of us and will
be like Jeopardy style, who can get the action movie
quote on the flow? And people don't insult my intelligence
with like get to the chapa and everything right that?
All right, give me something challenging concha. If you're already
you follow him on Twitter, you should. What's what's the handle? Joke?
Think about it? Joke? Gunch a TV? Joke guncha TV.
Give me real followers, check it out. Everybody, Thanks so much.

Energy is fuel for the fight. How does the administration

(01:27:27):
fight the optics on this? Because policy wise and practice wise,
they're back to catch and release. But do pictures like
Rosa just showed us of this little boy being reunited
with his father after forty three days, Well, those haunt
this administration. Well, I think the the pictures of the
cruelty of this administration are a very deliberate part of this.

(01:27:48):
They're they're a feature, not a bug, of the of
the Trump administration's policy. And so I think that we're
in a situation where where no one inside the administration
is unhappy about these things because they're only talking to
their base. They're only talking to their core supporters and
their core supporters. You know, want anybody who's darker than
a latte deported, come on you know, it's just it's

(01:28:14):
just not helpful, right, It's not true, it's not helpful.
It's the Slanders against Trump supporters. It gets so uh,
it's just so frustrating at this point. And you know
they put somebody like that on CNN. I mean, he's
calling sixty plus million people racists racist. That's you know,

(01:28:37):
that's Rick Wilson. I I worked with Rick on different
TV shows years ago, and you know he was a guest.
I mean we weren't. I've never met him in person.
I don't know him, but you know I've done. He
used to be a pretty standard issue GLP guy, well spoken,
had some had some inscifled things to say. And now

(01:28:57):
he goes on TV and threatens to you know, he's
gonna gut a Trump supporter like a fish on air.
I mean you know he meant that metaphorically, but you
know he's talking about how anybody darker than a latte
they I mean, just first of all, these are lines
that he's right. I can tell you this, and and
a lot of the the CNN Conserve, the CNN Republican

(01:29:18):
Trump bashers, they're writing out these lines before they go
on TV. They know they're gonna get picked up by media,
and I guess they know people like me are gonna
sit here and say, well, you know, so and so
said this thing, but they can't be serious about thinking
that this is helpful to anything or anyone other than themselves.
I really am at a point now where I think

(01:29:39):
that people in the media who just refer to Trump
supporters as racist in in some way, whether very racist
or little racist, they're either just very selfish or very dumb.
I think for some of the more clever ones it's
a selfishness issue. They realized that this is a way

(01:29:59):
to get on TV there, and for the other ones,
it's just stupid because without counties that went for Obama,
without states that went for Obama twice, Trump doesn't win
the election. So can someone explain to me how how
racism is the prime factor in Trump's election when the
way that Trump beats Hillary Clinton is to have former

(01:30:22):
Obama voters that are, like, you know what, the Democrats
just don't do a good job. Isn't that possible, folks?
You know, isn't it fair to take a step back
and say, where do the Democrats just run everything? I mean,
where do the Democrats have complete and total sway. Okay,
let's look at some cities, shall we. Baltimore disaster, Detroit disaster,

(01:30:45):
increasingly the state of California disaster. Right, you start to
look at places that are unipolar, Democrat controlled deep blue
areas of the country, whether it's a city or a state,
and you just have bad governance. You know, people say, oh, buck,
but what about us. You know, there's like a state
like Massachusetts. No, there's enough, there's enough Republicans in Massachusetts

(01:31:08):
that you actually still have, you know, some hope of
the Democrats having to behave themselves, right, you have there's
enough there to push back. When you look at a true,
pure Democrat political machine in this country, you find yourself
looking at a place that is generally very poorly run

(01:31:29):
and poorly governed. Isn't it just possible that after eight
years of the Obama administration, the American people, or at
least a large portion of the American people, felt like
these folks meeting the Democrats and their allies and the
and the media that we're telling us, I mean, the
media was telling us everything was so great when Obama
was in office. Obama's economic quote recovery was the slowest

(01:31:54):
and most mnemic recovery since the Great Depression. The economy
ragged along for years. People lost years of productivity, years
of advancement in their careers because Obama's idea was, let's
spend a whole lot of money on things that Democrats like,
and let's also put a ton of regulations and a

(01:32:16):
lot of state burdens on people and on businesses that
are trying to be productive. Because that's fair. And fair is,
in the context of the Democrat Party, just a way
of saying, whatever my whims maybe at the moment, whatever
my emotions tell me, that's what's fair. Right. Fair is
a feeling. Fair isn't an argument. There's an important difference there,

(01:32:39):
and that's when you get into you know, all this
talk about pay your fair share. You can remember all this,
you can you can remember what it was like with
the Obama years. Remember they were trying to tell us
folks that very slow to know GDP and economic growth
was the was the only it was gonna be for

(01:33:00):
the future. You know, we were we were told to
get used to lackluster results for the American economy as
an excuse for eight years of Obama. And instead of
dealing with that reality and looking at what's going on
with Trump, who is pro business, pro commerce, pro the
American worker in a way that's not just rhetorical, right,

(01:33:22):
it's not just oh, I'm pro unions or I'm pro
teachers unions, right. Pro the guy or gal who shows
up to do a job is doing things the way
they're supposed to be done, wants to elevate himself, herself
or their family and doesn't want to feel like the
thumb of government is constantly pushing down on them. And
they also don't want to be award of the state.

(01:33:44):
They don't you know, they don't want Obama phones, they
don't want uh handouts from the government, right, they don't
want any of that. They just don't want the government
in the way. It's an important philosophical difference, and we're
seeing what it means with Trump. We're seeing how that
actually can play out for the American people. But instead

(01:34:05):
you get, you know, jokes about how you know that
all the Trump supporters are just so racist, just a
bunch of racist, toothless hillbillies who don't know anything playing
banjo with their toes ha ha ha. You know, it's
just terrible folks, it really is. And you know, some
of these people, I understand. Look, everyone's you know, everyone's
got to pay the rent of the mortgage. People gotta eat.

(01:34:27):
And I know that a lot of this stuff you
see on the various non Fox cable networks is just
performance art, right, It's just theater for people that are
formerly all about limited government and formerly all about uh,
you know, doing what is best for the American economy

(01:34:48):
and getting government away. Now now all they're about is
trashing Trump and it's tiresome. It's unhelpful, and I mean,
I just think it's it's stupid, lazy and selfish, and
I'm just getting sick of it. You know, at least
come up with some ideas or go the Max Boot route,
who was still chirons by media as a conservative who's like,

(01:35:09):
I'm going to vote for a Democrat. I want the
Democrats to win. Well, that's quite a conservative they like
to put on TV. Over at CNN, we got much
more team. I gotta tell you about this this movie
that's coming out that I might have to I actually
might have to boycott. I'll tell you why I stayed
with me. Years ago. I would have told you that
I thought that Borack, the character played by Sasha Baron

(01:35:34):
Cohen was was a pretty pretty funny thing, you know.
And and and you had frat boys across America. We're
all going m strong on plow and all that stuff, right,
we all. And And in fact, it became such a
cultural phenomenon for a short period of time that to
do Borat accents was past a I'm one of the

(01:35:56):
few people's ever noticed by the way that Borat as
a Kazakh from Kazakhstan, clearly had to be Muslim. But
that was somehow never mentioned and never brought up, and
it just flew under the radar because I'm sure otherwise
people would have made fun of the incredible amounts of
misogyny by the character ignorance anti Jewish stuff going on.

(01:36:18):
Right But but because he was just from Kazakhstan, a
Muslim country, but people didn't really make that connection, he
was able to get away with all this stuff, which
is pretty amazing in retrospect. I don't know if he'd
be able to do quite the same thing today, but
he's trying to. Uh, we we have this this news story.

(01:36:39):
It's all over the place. Now, it's Hollywood reporter I
think is the New York Post. It's it's getting a
lot of a lot of play where you have Sasha
Baron Cohen, who's the guy who plays Bored. He also
does Ali g and a few other characters. I used
to watch the HBO show way back in the day
where he did all these different characters. And he is

(01:37:00):
doing the same thing that he's on before with Borad.
He's doing these kind of ambush interviews. And the movie
is called Who Is America? But here's the problem. And
and I am not overly sensitive. I'm not somebody who goes,
oh my gosh. You know, I don't pull the snowflake stuff.
But there are limits, you know, you you there are

(01:37:20):
certain places you just don't go. You don't make Holocaust jokes,
you don't ever in any way put down or mock
or drive somebody with with down syndrome. I mean, there
are red lines, and they're red lines for me, the
red lines for any decent person. And I think a
red line for all of us is not only do
not mess with veterans, you do not mess with disabled veterans,

(01:37:44):
or you are in for a world of hurt. And
I don't know if that's just metaphorical. And this is
the report. Now, I don't you know, this hasn't been
all fully confirmed, but the report says that Sasha Baron
co or Sasha Cohen, what's you call him that now,
met with are A Palen and she flew across the
country to meet with him. He posed as a disabled

(01:38:05):
veteran in a wheelchair, and he got her to sign something.
I think he's also gotten. He got Dick Cheney to
sign a quote waterboarding kit. But he posed a disabled
veteran to Sarah Palin and Sarah Palin uh is furious
about this now, and she has written the following out
of respect for what I was led to believe would

(01:38:26):
be a thoughtful discussion with someone who would serve in uniform.
I sat through a long interview full of hotty Hollywood
is ms, disrespecting sarcasm, but finally had enough and literally
physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen's chagrin.
The disrespect of our US military and middle class Americans
via Cohen's foreign commentaries under the guise who interview questions

(01:38:48):
was perverse. If he really posed as a veteran, I
gotta tell you this this I'm hoping this is going
to be the end of this guy doing this kind
of stuff. If he posed as a disabled vet in
a wheelchair for the purposes of this interview, I just
think that that's I do think that's crossing a red line.
And and you know, it's a shame on so many levels.

(01:39:08):
First of all, the biggest problem is the disrespect, but
also comedy is such a an avenue for relief and
actually for bringing people together. And I really mean this.
Comedians in this country have abandoned their posts. They've become
political hacks, they become nasty, and they become unfunny, and
it's a real loss to our culture. It looks like

(01:39:30):
Sashakhn is a part of that problem. I know he's
a brick, but same idea. Anyway, I'll keep an eye
on this story. And we have roll call coming up.
The show ain't over yet, folks. Here's where you take over,

(01:39:51):
keeping it real, Team Buck, It's time for roll call.
It's that time for the funky roll call action. My friends.
You know how we do it here in the Hut.

(01:40:12):
Let's get into it. Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton.
I'm just realizing today it has been Hawhile since I
have managed to get into the official team look at
gmail dot com inbox, so I will make sure the
next time around we will get to that which is
gonna be fun. First, up here we have Eric, who

(01:40:39):
writes hey Buck paraphrasing Rush Limbaugh on his show today.
The left hysteria about Kavanaugh has nothing to do with Kavanaugh.
It has to do with the fact that he will
abide by the Constitution. They don't want the Supreme Court
to be bound by the U. S. Constitution. They want
judges who will ignore the Constitution and make decisions that
enable the left to post there will on us. Isn't

(01:41:03):
that horrifying? The very thing that we love the U. S.
Constitution for that it protects us from bad people forcing
bad policies on us. Is what the Democrats hate about
the Constitution. PS love the Soroce impression. Eric Shields high
let Edic, thank you very much for a din Sous
would like to send you a large crate of gold bars,

(01:41:27):
unmarked of course, so you can put it whatever you want.
You can hide it from your government, for when the
end comes, we bring it all come crashing down, Adam.
Next up here, personally. When it comes to Democrats, the
momentum has shifted so far to the right that they
may see no alternative. The old adage applies here. There

(01:41:48):
is no worse enemy than one who has nothing left
to lose. I don't know where the line is exactly,
but I fear we are marching toward it shields high,
you know, Adam, I agree, man, I this is gonna
get the Democrats lose this midterm election, meaning that they
don't take control of the House with the Senate. Right
if if they don't pick up control of any government,

(01:42:11):
what do they tell themselves? How is it possible that
their fellow Americans could not just elect Trump and let
him lead the Republican Party, but then there could be
an affirmation of that vote at the ballot box. After
two years of Trump at the head of the GOP,
It's almost like Trump's doing a good job and the

(01:42:32):
GOP is better at governing than the Democrats are. Oh
my gosh crazy, Who knew? Right? Who knew? Matthew up
here rights? Great movie quote. Ever, notice how you come
across somebody once a while, you shouldn't have messed with
That's me um, Matthew. I don't know what that movie is.

(01:42:53):
I don't know what that is, So somebody else is
going to have to tell me what that one is.
We will have to do a quick look upon that one.
Brian writes, enjoy the show, buck great Brexit segment. Please
explain why liberals think Rob Wade is settled law, but
the Second Amendment, which is specifically spelled out, is not.
You know, Brian, I it's a completely valid question, it's

(01:43:17):
intelligent question. But there's a part of me that almost
grows too tired. I grow weary of dealing with all
the liberal hypocrisy when it comes to the Constitution and
constitutional rights and the the Bill of Rights and the
various amendments. It's just they make it up as they
go along. It's a different argument every day. There's no consistency. No,

(01:43:40):
it's it's like you're wrestling with jello all the time
when you're talking about left wing jurisprudence. Wrestling with the
jello sounds like fun. No, really, it's something that I
think is uh, it's tedious. It's becoming tedious, you know.
On the one on the one hand, you've got I mean,
I couldn't even believe this today this was amazing. You

(01:44:01):
have an NBC reporter named Katie tur who who said,
uh an MSNBC owned by NBC. Quote, based on where
Americans stand on the issues, Americans have really moved in
a much more progressive direction over the years. Do you
think it's appropriate to continue to take such a strict

(01:44:22):
originalist view of the Constitution given its eighteen and not
seventeen seventies six and quote because I and every sentence
with a little bit of raising my voice because that
like sounds really like I know what I'm talking about. Um, Yes, Katie,
we do think that the plain English language of the

(01:44:42):
Constitution from seventeen seventy six, that was just a compilation
of ideas that led to the greatest, most prosperous nation
not just on the planet, but on the in the
history of the planet. I think that that Constitution is
still valid. I think that universe stal truths are still
universal truths. I think that universe universal uh natural law

(01:45:08):
is still applicable today. I don't think we have like
gotten beyond that because like just because like but I mean,
the founders didn't have like Twitter and stuff, so like
how could they know what ammdents to right? Yeah, I don't.
I don't know. I don't know, Katie, I don't know.
I'm sorry, I got I got ahead of myself there
for a second. Okay, here we go back to roll call,

(01:45:31):
back to roll call, Sexton. Ah, here we go, Josh, right, hey, Buck,
longtime listener, all the way back to just the Saturday Show. Oh, Josh,
we have a name for that. It is called O
s S for Original Saturday Squad. I'm not sure if
you've covered it or not, but why can't Trump just

(01:45:52):
apply the travel band to countries south of the border?
Any thoughts, Josh, Well, Josh, there would be massive eckl
nomic ramifications of I don't know if you're including Mexico
on that or not. He could do it with Central America,
Central American countries, and given the rapidly deteriorating situation in
Nicaragua right now, there's a case to be made that

(01:46:16):
maybe that's not a terrible idea. But uh, if he
banned Mexico under national security, under his National security authority,
I mean, the Democrats would completely lose their minds. You'd
have massive protests in the streets, you pay a huge
political costs, and also the economic costs would be very real. Look,
we do a lot of trade with Mexico. Okay, there

(01:46:36):
there's a lot of good things. I mean, I think
this gets lost in this. There's so much good that
happens as a result of cross border activity of all kinds.
There's bad as well, but there's a lot of good too, right,
And you know, I want entrepreneurial Mexicans who can come
into America and are gonna work hard. I'm gonna do,
But I also want entrepreneurial Canadians. I want entrepreneurial bots Swannin's.

(01:47:01):
I want entrepreneurial Turks. You know, I just want the
best of the best from everywhere. I don't want them
to become legally, but even in a day to day
since in terms of the economic activity across the border,
there's a lot of you know, we're we're selling stuff
to Mexico, Mexico selling stuff to us, so we we
couldn't just do that. But I understand you're trying to
think outside the box, and I appreciate it. Aries just

(01:47:22):
writes office Space, because yes, Aries, you're correct, that was
the movie reference that I made yesterday. Aries just he
Arias just goes for the mic drop Facebook message just
like Boom office Space. I'm money. I'm not even gonna
I'm gonna at you, just office space. Dawn. Right, Hello,

(01:47:43):
my husband listens to your show. He tells you that
tells us that he's OSS and was telling me how
much you love dogs. Our dog, Daisy was hit by
a car a few weeks ago, and the vet bills
have gone beyond what we have what we could afford.
We set up a go fund me paid to raise
money and hope you may be able to share it
on your Facebook page. I understand that it's something you

(01:48:04):
can't do, but any kind of explosion we can get
would be helpful. You know what, Dawn, we will put
this up in the Freedom Hunt because there's a Team
Bucks Freedom Hunt page with a lot of OSS folks,
and and we will will see if we can get
some get some help for Daisy. It looks like you're adorable,
black lab. It is also the name of my brilliant

(01:48:25):
and beautiful and wonderful recently married little sister, so I'm
particularly partial to the name Daisy. But Dawn, you know,
if I can ever help, I will, and don't ever
hesitate to reach out and ask for help here in
the freedom hunt. William right buck, been listening to you
for a few months. I'm also a former I see member.

(01:48:46):
I saw the headline your reference. I see intelligence community folks.
I saw the headline your reference earlier. Was the FBI
bamboozled on Fox News only moments before? And I noticed
something instantly. If this notion is being promoted by the
FBI itself, is clearly their attempt at an out from
the treachery they committed and are being exposed for. To
believe that the FBI was bamboozled by bad information is

(01:49:09):
to completely disregard common sense and reality. Even a rank
amateur would have recognized the lack of veracity in such
intel reporting as the dossier. No one in the FBI
is that gullible. And I say that as no fan
of the FBI whatsoever, William, I will say this. I'm
probably getting in trouble for this. But FBI agents, the

(01:49:31):
guys carrying the guns to do good work. God bless
most of the FBI analysts that I dealt with. We're
not the best in the intel community. I'll I'll be
I will be charitable, second tier, maybe third tier within
that community. Just I call it like it is. Not this.

(01:49:51):
I'm not talking about the special agents, talking about the analysts.
I was an analyst too, so I'm you know, analysts
are allowed to make fun of other analysts, right, so
FBI analysts were not blowing my blowing my socks off? Uh,
where were we here? They may not have they may
have many faults, but being that incompetent in intelligence vetting
is just not one of their faults. And they're trying
to sell this line of crap that they were bamboozled.

(01:50:13):
It's a cheap attempt to wash their dirty hands at
the intentional subversion of a legitimate election. Kindness regards, will
keep fighting the good fight, will shields high, and thank you,
and I agree with you. And good to have an
i C brother writing in one of my favorite things
about this show. I get emails and messages from people
downrange military special operations community. I get people from from

(01:50:35):
within the i C. Let's say former, let's just say
always former for our purposes within the i C reach
out to me and yeah, it's it's just good to
have that connectivity. And I take a special pride in
knowing that practitioners, people who know what it is to
be involved in counter terrorism, be doing real national security

(01:50:56):
work and law enforcement. Although I'm really a national security analyst, guys,
I I I kind of dabbled in law enforcement for
a little while, but I'm really a national security analyst. Um.
But that they listen to the show and respect this
show means a tremendous amount to me. Dale. Uh, Mike
Lee would have been a bad choice for scotus. You
lose a Senate vote on that, right do I don't

(01:51:16):
think Mike Lee would be a bad choice for Senate. Look,
Utah is pretty safe red. At least we don't have
to worry about things going blue in Utah. That's nice.
But Mike Lee would have been a very good choice.
I think that that actually would make sense. But thanks
for Sharon gen great show and loving the live streams.
What the left is doing is really getting scary. People

(01:51:39):
attacking others in restaurants, people telling politicians they know where
they live. Most of these people don't even know or
care to learn what it is they are yelling about.
Someone is going to get seriously hurt and we will
get blamed for it by the left sad times, but
I have hope it will get better with Trump, you,
Rush and others leading the way. I have faith we
will make it out of the end and still have America. Well, Jen,

(01:52:03):
I hope, I hope that faith is correct. I have
it too, and I think we're all gonna be all right.
I'm I'm positive, you know, I deal with problems here
in the Hut, but I'm positive in the long run,
and I'm bullish on America, that's for sure. Please do
uh subscribe to the podcast of the show. Folks. Also
get ready for a Freedom Hut podcast this week. It
will be out. We will have a special guest that'll
be out Thursday night. I have to go rush off
