the Buck Sexton Show team. Welcome to the Freedom Hut. Thursday, December,
first edition of the program. We have a lawyer who

(00:35):
was fired from her massive law firm, very influential one,
because she publicly agreed that the Supreme Court decision on
Dabbs was right and spoke about her views of the
Dabbs decision. So they fired her and have basically destroyed
a forty year legal career. The wokeness has infected law schools.

(00:56):
It has also infected law firms. We will discuss. We
will get into that FTX crypto in continued meltdown. But
is it fascinating to The New York Times had him
speak at their big important conference and they even clapped
firhim at the end because wow, it's so brave. After
he's stolen it seems allegedly billions of dollars from people.

(01:18):
It's kind of a big deal. I think it's kind
of a big deal. And then the Biden administration hypocrisy
on Apple versus Twitter, which one is a concern to
this White house. Oh you will want to hear that,

Wall Street Journal is no descent on abortion allowed at
Hogan levels. I don't know if I'm saying that right,

(02:45):
but whatever global law firm that fired this author fired
this woman who wrote the op ed. His name is Keller,
Robin Keller, because she agreed with the decision in the DOBS.
So just so we understand where we are as a

(03:06):
country right now. So I think it's very important. They've
gotten rid of the l SAT as a requirement now
for law schools, so they'll just take wherever they want
to take. Merit, actual ability, intellectual excellence. These things not
going to matter as much in the legal profession, which

(03:27):
is troubling to a lot of people, especially if you
really need a lawyer like to defend you, or if
you're being frivolously sued. You know, there's some real problems
that come from the law, and people need smart lawyers.
So now you're going to have lawyers that are increasingly
coming from the top law schools, and they're not that smart.

(03:48):
But this is all necessary for diversity and inclusion and
equity and all these other things we always hear about.
You say, hmm, that's an issue. It's also an issue
that the top law firms themselves are very woke. They
very much are dominated by even if it's only a
handful of people who are really, you know, pushing this stuff,

(04:13):
they're dominated by the whiniest of the woke, who cannot
even begin to accept that there are people that have
different points of view. So let me take you into
what happened here in this with this woman, Keller, Robin Keller.
She said that she was on I want to read
some of this to you. After Supreme Court issued its

(04:33):
Dabbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade in June, global law
firm Hogan Levels organized an online conference call for female employees.
She writes, this is the Wall Street Journal. As a
retired equity partners still actively serving clients, I was invited
to participate in what was built as a safe space
for women at the firm to discuss the decision. It

(04:54):
might have been a safe space for some, but it
wasn't safe for me. Everyone who spoke on the call
was unanimous in their anger and outrage about Dabbs. I
spoke up to offer a different view. I noted that
many jurists and commentators believe Rowe had been wrongly decided
by the way just stopping the quote for a second.
Of course, Roe was garbage law, indefensibly bullcrap law. Whether

(05:17):
you believe abortion should be a thing in this country
or in a state or not, Roe was garbage. Yeah,
we're just gonna make it up. We're gonna say it's
there and it's not there. This undermines the very basis
of law of language. If something can be there that's
not there, then what's the point of having anything there
in the first place? You get where I'm going. That's

(05:38):
what Roe was just fabricated, a fabricated right. We all
know it. Oh, but they wanted so much, so important
to be able to apport babies. People are psychos. Here
you go, as a retired equity partners, still actively serving clients, YadA, YadA.
Everyone else spoke up said it. I said the court
was right to remand the issue to the states. I
added that I thought abortion rights advocates had brought much

(06:00):
of the pushback against Roe on themselves by pushing extreme policies.
Now let me just stop there for a second. Yeah,
they pushed insane policies. They will argue that abortion. Abortion
advocates will argue that it's necessary for all nine months
of a pregnancy, there can be no limitations on abortion whatsoever,

(06:21):
and that a baby is not a baby in the
ninth month, a baby that is even ready to enter
the world and leave the mother's womb is not actually
a baby. These people are this is crazy. I mean,
this is child sacrifice stuff, and they'll argue it opening.
Some of them will even there were whole shout your
abortion hashtag movements and other things. So they've gone from

(06:45):
safe legland rare too. This is a great thing that
should be celebrated, and it's heinous and it's wrong and
it's immoral. So abortion extremism comes from the pro abortion side.
That much has been the case for a long time. Anyway.
She goes on to say, I refer to numerous reports
of disproportionately high rates of abortion in the black community,
which some have called a form of genocide. I said,

(07:08):
I thought this was tragic. The outrage was immediate. The
next speaker called me a racist and demand that I
leave the meeting. Other participants said they lost their ability
to breathe that's a quote on hearing my comments. After
more of the same, I hung up. Someone made a
formal complaint to the firm. Later that day, Hogan Levels

(07:28):
suspended my contracts, cut off my contact with clients, removed
me from email and document systems, and emailed all US
personnel saying that a forum participant had made anti black
comments and was suspended pending an investigation. The firm also
released a statement to the legal website above the law
bemoaning the devastating impact my views had on participants in

(07:51):
the forum, most of whom are lawyers. Participating in a
call convene expressly for the purposes of discussing a controversial
legal and political topic. Someone leaked my name to the press.
I filed my own complaint with the firms General Council Office,
alleging the firm and those who had attacked me on
the call had violated the but He's anti harassment policy.

(08:12):
Hogan Levels hired another firm to connected outside investigation. Three
weeks later, I received a letter stating the firm had
concluded that my reference to comments labeling black abortion rates
genocide was a violation of the anti harassment policy. So
she was her complaint was dismissed. She was termed, she's fired.
They fired. Yeah, that's how this all went down. And

(08:37):
I can tell you that I know of another law
firm where someone raised the issue in the hiring process
of well, why am I I'm not able to grade
certain minorities in the hiring process when they do the
evaluations the same way I would other applicants. Why is

(08:59):
that our policy? That person was fired, That didn't make
the news, but I knew of that happening. So this
is the environment that we're operating in, friends, Because the
argument that she made there about how there's a disproportionately
high rate of abortion that occurs within the black community
is one statistically, absolutely a fact. It's just a fact

(09:22):
of numbers, reality, truth, and that this is deeply unsettling, immoral,
and really a point of despair for many people who
look at this as the murder of now millions of
preborn black children that has occurred through the abortion industry.

(09:44):
This is an argument that has been made for a
long time, and it is rooted in fact, in numbers,
and I can assure you that at least some of
the people who are outraged on the call are white
female liberals who are the most devoted partisans of abortion
you will ever find. They're the ones that are the
true They're the true believers. They're the high priests of
the abortion church. And as demonic as it may be.

(10:10):
And the fact that you can't even agree with a
Supreme Court decision though as a lawyer, think about that.
I think the Supreme Court decision was right. You're fired.
Shut up. This is a major law firm. It's a
big time law firm that people in New York and
DC come across on a regular ba. I think they're
mostly in DC based, but they're a big deal law firm,

(10:30):
and you can't have an adult conversation about the law
there without getting ruined and destroyed. After forty years serving
as a partner at this firm, think about that because
people are so because look, I think it's likely that
there are people on that phone call who either themselves
or have spouses or family members who have had abortions
and they just don't want to hear that it's anything

(10:51):
other than something to be celebrated, and that's really tragic
and really really sad, and there's a rage, there's an
anger that comes from that. They don't want to be
exposed to any truth about this. They want to believe
what they believe. But when all of our institutions of
power and influence and wealth are effectively controlled by this
Bolshevik style minority of far left wingers, we're heading for

(11:18):
a deeply dysfunctional society. This is also why they get
so upset about Elon Moss taking one of their favorite
propaganda tools away from them, which I certainly want to
talk to you about, as well as the FTX crypto situation.
We will get into that, my friends, in a second.
But what happens when cyber criminals gets your information from

(11:38):
the dark web. Well, the way it goes down actually
is there's a big data breach. Sometimes millions and millions
of customer personal identifiable information gets leaked. And then when
that data breach happens, they find this stuff. They put
this stuff on the dark web, they'll sell it huge
traunches of your personal identifiable information, and then that's how

(11:59):
they get your credit card. That's how they get your
name and your infhoto, takeout loans and credit cards in
your name, and you've got a big problem. When this happens,
it's important to understand how identity the after effecting all

free to actually, let's go to Sam Bankman Free for
a second. This guy spoke at the big New York
Times conference, their annual conference they have with the fancy

(13:06):
the fancy libs. I think actually Mike Penn spoke at
this year. So there's that, But there generally it's it's
a Zelenski. People like that. And Sam bank Ben Freed
is a fascinating case study because the media has no
hostility to him whatsoever. I mean, this guy may have
been running and may end up going to prison for

(13:27):
a long time because of it. A massive Ponzi scheme
that effectively would have, if this is what happened, taken
billions of dollars of people's money and just made it
disappear spending on things, invested in things, or went to zero.
Money's gone. Money's gone. And usually you think there'd be

(13:50):
a lot of outrage about this. Think about the amount
of outrage, for example, that the media conjures up on
somebody who spent five minutes and I mean five minutes
inside of the Capitol Building on January six, didn't hurt anyone,
didn't attack him didn't do anything, but they were. They're
they're part of that mob. The media will hunt that

(14:12):
person down to the ends of the earth, and they'll
literally hunt them down, and so far as they'll help
track them down if they can, they'll they'll help the FBI. Right,
they think that that's really fair and that that person
should spend time in prison. Same Bankman Freed has taken
billions of dollars of wealth and destroyed it, money that

(14:33):
people gave him. It's yeah, a lot of those are
going to be people who have who are wealthy, but
not all of them, and some of its pension money.
And this is really destructive and they are not angry
at all. In fact, at the end of the New
York Times conference, they actually clapped for this guy, like yay,
thank you Sam for showing up. Can we play the

(14:55):
this is at this New York Times, you know, big
Ideas conference or whatever they call it. Play it on
behalf of everybody here and on behalf of the public.
I want to thank you for engaging in it at
a time in truth when I know you've been advised
not to. So thank you so very very much. Thank you,
Sam Bankman Freed. Everybody Sam Bankman freed everybody doing a

(15:17):
great job. The deal Book Summit. They call this thing,
by the way, it's ridiculous. He's basically just going to
tell everybody. He's telling everybody that he is so dumb
that he remember this guy went to MT he was
a genies It's gonna be the world's first trillion And
I was like, I'm just really stupid. I was just
like a little cocky, he says. Play clip sixteen. Here

(15:42):
thirty two billion dollars he was worth. Now they say
he's worth he says, he claims he's worth a hundred
thousand dollars. I'm sure he's stashed money all over the place.
But play sixteen. He said, one of your great talents
in a podcast was managing risk. That's right, and sadly
see wrong. Well, I think that there's something maybe even
deeper wrong there, which was I wasn't even trying, like
I wasn't spending any time or effort trying to manage

(16:05):
risk on f jacks and not obviously it's a sunning edition.
That's a pretty stunning admission. Yeah, I mean I don't
know what to say, Like what happened happened, and like
if I had been spending an hour a day thinking
about risk management on FTX, I don't think that would
have happened. I think I stopped working. It's hard for
a bit, you know. Honestly, if I look back on myself,

(16:25):
I think I got a little cocky. I've made more
than a little bit. I think I got a little khaki.
And I think that big a polyaborus vegan with billions
of dollars at his disposal litigue in a like a
sex party commute in the Bajabas with a bunch of
other judges and dragons nerds. I think that maybe that
was a bad idea. But you know, overall, I just

(16:47):
got a little khacky. Wow. Media is not angry at
this guy, though they're giving him the chance. Remember he's
able to run all this pr all this talking do
sit down with Georgetephanopolis. He's like, I don't remember the
guy's name, but the New York Times guy from the
you know, from the deal book summit. And this is

(17:07):
what they're doing. They're they're letting this guy tell this
story and effectively it's yeah, man just made a couple
of mistakes. I didn't I didn't really do anything wrong.
I didn't know it. Oh by the way, now he's
saying that he wasn't donating to one party to beat
the other party in the general elections. He was the
Democrat's second biggest donor in this last mid term play
clip eleven. This is important, I think because you know,

(17:32):
you know, my donations were mostly for pandemic prevention, and
they were looking at primary elections where there were candidates
who are outspoken in favor of doing things now to
prevent the next pandemic. That was the primary thing that
I was supporting with those contributions. And you know, it
was on both sides of the aisle, primarily operating in

(17:54):
both primaries, because it wasn't. I wasn't viewing it as
a partisan exercise. There was not. You know, mostis was
not looking at donating to one party to beat the
other one in the general elections. Here, you know it
is not only was it on both sides, but even
within each was between two kendidates and the same party.
And just look in pandemic policy. So, okay, a few

(18:15):
things here because there are because they're now saying, oh,
originally this thing, it's not even a story that he
was the second biggest Democrat donor another thing. See it's
a story because he donated Republicans too well, which is
it to the donations matter or not matter? That's start
with that, but even beyond that, all right, So was
he doing donations to Republicans in the primary so that

(18:36):
bad Republicans could win, which did happen by the way,
in those primaries unfortunately? Was he part of that plan?
Just wondering, I don't know. I'd have to look at
who we gave money to and where. But also what's
clearly the case is that he was paying off these
politicians with donations as a form of insurance in case
this happened, which really is inevitable you think about it,

(18:58):
given the way this guy was running the company that
he had. So, yeah, it's effectively legalized bribery. That's what
this guy was doing. Yeah, and then there's the Apple
elon throw it down with looks like it's not going
to happen now they figured out the app stores not
going to take Twitter down. I think that Tim Cook
realized it wasn't a fight he wanted to pick right now.

(19:19):
But this is fascinating. Here is Martha McCallum speaking to Kirby,
who's a spokesman for the Biden administration, And here she
is saying, why does this White House have such a
problem with Twitter? But then Apple shuts down air drop
for the Chinese protesters, and the White House is very
kind of, you know, mean, not such a big deal

(19:41):
about it. Listen to Martha take him a task. Why
not say something to Apple because we were just told
the other day that the White House is keeping an
eye on Elon Musk and Twitter, So why would you
say that from the podium. You didn't say it, but
Queen Jean Pierre said it, and not call Apple out
for helping the Chinese government to suppress their own people's
ability to communicate. Again, I think we've been very clear

(20:01):
and consistent on this, certainly publicly, we've been very open
about our desires to be able to see citizens communicate.
And you know, Apple, if this is a decision that
they're making, then they should have to speak to that,
but we can't. And we aren't in the business of
telling private companies how to execute their an issue. But
Twitter to private company too, So why is Twitter getting
one treatment Apple's getting another? Is my question? Well, these
are completely two different circumstances. You're talking about the potential, well,

(20:24):
you're talking about the potential for perhaps foreign investment and
involvement in the management of Twitter. That's a different issue
than what we're talking about here, which is a business
decision by Apple. Blather, total blather. But what else are
they going to say? Our power is threatened here at

(20:44):
home by Twitter, and we don't really care what the
Chinese do abroad, because that's the truth. That's how the
Democrats really think. Thanks for rolling here at a team.
