The Left is expanding its definitions of ‘Nazi’ and ‘Fascist’ to include every person in the Republican party, and now Liberals are even condoning violence against them.

healthcare already, then you can keep your plan. If you
are satisfied with is not President of the United States,

great again. You'll never sharend. It's what you've been waiting
for all day. Buck Sexton with America Now joined the

(00:42):
conversation called Buck toll free at eight four four nine
hundred Buck. That's eight four four nine hundred to eight
to five, sharp mind, strong voice, Buck Sexton. Buck Sexton
here with you now. Team, Thank you so much for
hanging out. Hope you're having a good Friday. If you
happen to be in the path of what seems to

(01:07):
be a major storm, a major disaster, this Hurricane Harvey. UH,
please be safe, stay safe and uh you know, thoughts
and prayers, God bless hope everything is okay. UM. I
will be checking in throughout the show to see what
the updates are. But from what I'm seeing here, it

(01:27):
is a it is a major storm. Winds upup to
five miles per hour, overt of rain expected in some
parts of Texas. So uh, And there will be a
inevitably we know this, there will be a politicization of this.
People will be saying that it's uh, this is caused
by climate change. There'll be an an urgency, a renewed urgency,

(01:51):
and the climate change movement to say that because we've
had a big storm, now we have to take major
action to prevent the next big storm. And then some
folks will go on Google, or they'll go to their
local library or whatever it is that they do their research,
and sure enough, they will find that there have been
tremendous storms for as long as there has been an atmosphere,

(02:15):
an ecosystem for us to live in, and a weather system.
Storms are nothing new. Storms can be tragic, storms can
be incredibly powerful, they can be brutal. Mother Nature can
be unforgiving. But it's not new. And that there will
be so many people who are out there saying it
is um. We know, well, we can expect that it's

(02:39):
already started to happen. Is there a why to this?
Why there is so much water associated with this storm?
What is this? Thing we've heard from scientists over the
last ten years is that climate change does impact the
intensity of many of the storms that we see. I'm
not I'm probably wouldn't attribute what we're looking at here.

(03:02):
This is not an uncommon occurrence, uh, to see storms
grow and intensify rapidly in the western Gulf of Mexico.
That is as long as we've been tracking that has occurred.
The why for the big rain as the stationarity, the
fact that the storm was going to come in land
and not move. CNN hosts it's like, Hey, could this

(03:23):
be because the climate change and whomever that expert guess
was they held I was like, actually, no, not really,
I was I was kind of surprised, to be honest
with you other Oh look at this that they're not
all not all I believe that was the science is
not all of them are gonna jump on the Yeah,
the former director of the National Hurricane Center. They're not
all just gonna jump on the climate change bandwagon and
decide that you know, this is this is now when

(03:46):
we have to push for action. You know, we are
the climate change change we have been waiting for or
whatever um. And there are some other ways that this
will be politicized too, that a major storm making landfall
in the United States, which is not new and uh.
Of course, Hurricane Katrina was considered one of the real
failings of the Bush administration. I think after the Iraq War,

(04:10):
the left was more upset and more full of anger
at the Bush administration over Hurricane Katrina than anything else. Now,
the response to it is a discussion that certainly should
be had, should have been faster, should have been better.
But I mean Bush didn't Bush didn't cause the hurricane,
just like Trump isn't causing the hurricane. But there are

(04:32):
people out there that will be unable to help themselves.
They'll be unable to step away from politics long and
I can just say, look, we hope our fellow Americans,
everyone who's in the path of this hurricane is safe
and is okay, and that any recovery efforts that are
needed are quick and efficacious. But then again, there's CNN's

(04:55):
Jim Acosta, who's really making a name for himself as
hashtag resistance leader these days. Um, he had some words
about not just the hurricane but Trump. He's comparing or
or or rather compiling the two issues. So I won't
be tweeting about fake news as much as many Americans
will be relying on the news in order to stay

(05:16):
safe during the storm. This is all part of the
complete politicization of everything in our life now that which
and I will say, it is new and it's been
getting worse. It wasn't even the case to the same
extent ten years ago. There's no escape from from the
political expectations that the left has it. And I should

(05:39):
know that this is for for a state is mindset
for people who truly believe that the state and therefore government,
he's the answer to all things, should be in control
of all things and has an influence and a say
in all things. Really, the state is in place of God.
The state is the state is a replace entity for

(06:00):
a deity here, right, So the government becomes God. That's
that is a mentality. It's in fact what you see
happening in truly totalitarian regimes throughout history and still to
this day. People in a sense are forced to worship
the government. And there's one of the there's a reason
why there's this tension that has been playing out for

(06:21):
many centuries. Bigger issues than I have time to address
in specifics here between government and religion and between religious
authority and government state authority. Right, So, people that believe
that the government is the answer to everything, or should
be involved in everything. Don't understand this mindset of well,
maybe something should be outside the reach of government. Maybe

(06:44):
we can talk about sports and not have it be
something that is automatically broken down into left and right, Democrat, republican, conservative, progressive.
Now maybe we can just all enjoy sports. Maybe we
can look at a storm coming to the United States
and instead of instantly going from going to one side

(07:08):
of the issue or another on climate change, on the environment,
on government spending to to deal with with these things.
I mean, just the focus you would think could be
on the immediate issue of helping people and the not
just sympathy, which is important, but the sympathetic efforts of
people who are close enough to are in a position

(07:29):
to help, whether by sending donations, are actually showing up
and providing aid. That will still happen, but that won't
be quite the same focus of the narrative. There will
be efforts to make this about climate change. There will
be people who say outrageous things with regard to the
Trump administration's responsibility in some way for this um. There

(07:54):
will be people that just see this as an opportunity
to grandstandard and they'll be doing it. They'll be doing
it without any without any sense of shame. And ultimately
this is I think just another example of what's been happening,
which is that with media is now everywhere, meaning that
you carry media in your pocket, you carry uh news

(08:17):
with you everywhere you go. Your even your social connections now,
in a way that was not possible ten or twenty
years ago, are largely um touched by, or even molded by,
deeply influenced by politics. Right whether you're on Facebook or
any of these other platforms or anywhere else that you're

(08:39):
interacting online, there is a push from one side or
the other to portray events in a certain way. Your
friends are writing about what they think about Trump, your
friends are writing about what they think about climate change.
You know, there's no escape from this now, and we
would have to make a conscious decision as a country,
as a society to say, you know what, why don't

(09:00):
we why don't we declare dare I say some actual
safe spaces where it's not that you can't be exposed
to bad idea? And I know that there's no there's
really no such thing as safe space, but it would
be nice if we could come up with some some
parts of culture or society where it was more about
people being able to escape and relax and chill instead

(09:22):
of just having to be in the middle of the
political scrum. Maybe I'm just dreaming. Maybe maybe that's what
the freedom hud is for me. Right, that's even though
you do a lot of politics here, at least it's
a place where I can escape to for a while
and not be influenced by all the other that's out there.
Um and here we are major the biggest news story.
It's late late August and it's a huge hurricane in

(09:45):
the United States, and people are trying to make this
about Democrat or Republican. Uh. There are stories from the
week about sports and how they've been politicized, about words
and how they've been politicized. Now there's I can find
political angles for for food, for restaurants. I mean, this
is now. Everything is getting filtered through this lens. It's exhausting,

(10:05):
it's exhausting. But if you abandon too, if you abandon
your side, if if if we abandoned small government, limited
government conservatism and liberal true liberalism in the sense of
classical liberalism, and just say, you know what, we won't
engage in the fight for culture, of the fight over
culture anymore. That just means you're conceding it to the

(10:26):
other side. And now that people that want to dictate
everything are in charge of what gets dictated, right, So
it's not even just this is now an area for
political dispute, it's they get to make the decisions for
you in those areas now, whether it's climate, sports, words, media,
everything everything, it does feel a bit uh like a
bit much. And speaking of escape, it's Friday, which means

(10:49):
that we can throw in some action movie quotes if
we would like to action we can kill it movies
and get together have a few quote free your mine
Fridays Fridays eight four four eight four four eight to

(11:10):
fives give you a sense of what's coming your way
this the show. Other than action movie quotes, if you
feel like calling in talk about that or anything else.
We will discuss the latest uh leftist violence and destruction
of monuments. That'll be a big topic for this issue
because there's more of this. An article in the Huffington
Post that you will have to hear too. Well. Actually,

(11:31):
I'm sure you can believe it because just just wait,
you'll see what they're saying now about military service over
the Huffington Post or at least one one editorial writer,
but they published it. Uh. And then we've got a
lot more, including the Republicans. They're they're already they're getting
ready to tell you. Remember what I said yesterday about
how I know where this is all going. They're gonna cave.

(11:54):
They're not gonna build a wall, and they're gonna tell
you that the next fight is when the real fight's
gonna happen. They're they're preparing for the already in the Congress.
I can already see they're like, well, I mean, it's
not we're gonna get a little tax reform, and it's
not gonna be tax reform for you. You're not gonna
get to keep more of your money. There's gonna be
some corporate tax reform, and no one who doesn't have
an army of lawyers for their corporation probably is going

(12:15):
to even know what the heck is going on. But
there'll be some corporate tax reform, and Democrats won't really
care because they like big business too and they need donations,
and but nothing, nothing to get too excited about. I'm hoping,
I'm wrong. I'm I'm betting against the home team here,
and I don't like to be a pessimist, and I
certainly don't like to show up here and just be
angry radio man. There's so many angry radio man out there,

(12:37):
and women most a lot of dudes though, just just
being angry on the radio all day. I'm not trying
to be angry, but I'm not angry. I'm just seeing
what's coming and want to prepare us all for it,
because I'm telling you, I've I've been to this dance before,
I'm I have tasted the food at this barbecue I have. Yeah,
you get what I'm saying. This is gonna be exactly

(13:01):
what we can expect it to be, which is Republicans
raise the debt limit, do not get funding for a wall,
say they will next time, and the next time they're
just gonna say, well, we can't do it now because
you know mid terms, and you're gonna say, wait a second,
how am I so now it's the mid terms? When
do we ever get to fight? When do we ever
get to stand up and expect Republicans to go to

(13:22):
the matter and issue under the current rules of I
don't know rules of expectation, rules of political discourse in
this country. The answer is never, It's never gonna happen.
Um or maybe I'm wrong. Do you think I'm wrong?
By the way, I have very curious enough if you
if you think that there are they gonna remember, this

(13:42):
is not a Trump thing. This is a Congress thing, right,
this is not Do I think Trump is gonna sell it.
I believe a Trump would sign a bill up to
the wall tomorrow if he could. Trump would I I
believe that he's He's trying to get the wall done
much more. Corrolls, Mitch McConnell not gonna let it happen

(14:02):
because there's other things, other priorities. The people that write
checks for re election campaigns of senators, the packs and
such that are out there. Their policies matter to the
people in charge in d C. But all the populism
that they talk about, or the popular forget populism, the
popular issues that are out there, they don't care. I

(14:24):
don't care because they're so good at conning people. They're
so good at convincing their own district or their own well,
you know whatever, their own hometown, their own home state. Oh,
I'm one of the good guys. It's those other people,
other Republicans that refuse to actually stand on principle, so

(14:44):
they just so that means everyone gets away all the time.
There's always going to be a Murkowski or a Collins
or you know, you name it out there who gives
Republicans the excuse for why they can't get it done.
And Murkowski and the Collins that they're always gonna point at,
you know, the Ted doesn't say, well, that's the reason
we can't get any time. I mean, this is just
just a big merry go round, we get it right,

(15:04):
We're just going in circles here. Doesn't mean it's not
interesting to talk about from a policy perspective, certainly, But
I want to get into the leftist violence, the destruction
of monuments and the fight over words. That's what's really
gummy fired up today. Still, there's more of it that
the city is headed for a disaster of biblical purportion.
What do you mean biblical? What do he means this

(15:25):
Old Testament? They're real wrath of God type stuff, fire
and brimstone coming down from the skies. So that's a
Ghostbusters quote that he put on for action movie quote Friday,
Um but I see a lot of lines are let
up lit up here for action movie quote Friday and
for other things. These Ghostbusters an action movie. That's an

(15:46):
interesting uh, an interesting question. I think it's really more
sci fi. But it's all right, fair enough. Uh, let's
go with Dendall in Hawaii. Dendall, great to have you, sir. Ay,
Look it's de dendos d e n d oh but
that's right, oh dendo, Thank you sir. Sorry, And I

(16:06):
had to look this movie up and I kind of
picked one out just because it kind of popped in
my mind. And you may not know it because I
think I'm a little bit older than you. But here
goes ready, Yeah, sure, all right, it's professional assassination is
the highest form of public service. Wow, I've never heard

(16:28):
of that in my life. What movie is that from
Lemo Williams? What is that? I haven't even heard of
that movie? I don't know. This is an action movie,
absolutely up. It's pretty good anyway. It's kind of a
old one. It's like in the eighties, all right, and
what else? So so you got me there, I've never

(16:49):
even heard of it. What else on your mind? Anyway?
Obviously you know, obviously that the thing that happened in
Charlotte feel like thinking is upsetting everybody, but I and
I guess more so because of howle inflammatory, you know,
the rhetoric has become. And you hear, you know, honestly,

(17:10):
like how they talk about what is that white privilege
and stuff, and it's like and all of a sudden,
you can't say anything. And to those people, I mean
I never maybe had those experiences, so I don't understand.
But I would just have three questions for him, you know,
And there three questions would be, well, what is it

(17:31):
that you're trying to get, you know, out of pushing
that type of agenda? Do you mean the white the
white nationalists and Charlott's what you're talking about. No, I'm
talking about a black person that would be a spouse
and you know, white privilege and oh white from sorry
that okay, I'm just confused here. So you're saying, why
would some because what does that have to do with
Charlotte's felt because it just it just continues to um uh,

(17:57):
you know, continue the narrative, you know, because then on
top of that, I heard this one girl that was
complaining about a statue that was on her college campus
and how the black master is looking down on her
and so to speak. And it was just like my
point is is that I don't know, You're gonna have
to get to a point here, dundo, and then we

(18:17):
gotta go to the next call. Go ahead, Yeah, is
this three questions? No, just to have a one question
because three is already I don't know what we're talking
about here. One question? What's your what's your question? Well, no,
my questions would be to those people that have those sentiments,
you know, the African American community that have those sentiments
about white privilege. Yeah, because that but that's not just

(18:41):
the African American community that feels that way. That's all.
That's the Democratic Party in the left. I mean, this
is much bigger than just the African American community and
only some parts of it. But that that feels that way,
I guess it's the African community, African American community that's
being motivated by that type of rhetoric. I mean, no,
I'm trying want to say it's well, it's way beyond

(19:01):
just the African American community, though, I'm trying to trying
to give you a broader perspective on this it's not
white privileges. You'll you'll get lectures on white privilege from uh,
you know, white PhD students who live in Brooklyn. Has
nothing to do with necessarily being being black or a
black all right, addendel, I didn't have time for the
full three questions here, but I don't know. I kind

(19:23):
of lost where the gentleman there from Hawaii was trying
to get out. But I tried. But as the day
when the world declared in one voice, we will not
go quietly into the night. We will not fish without
a fight. We're going to live on. We're going to survive.
Bill Pullman Independence Day when he's playing the president given

(19:45):
a speech. That's right, hit the hit the hit the bell.
That's right. That they're trying to fool me here in
the Freedom Hunt. You got to trust me that I
swear they will give this to me beforehand. Um, but
ties Tie and Amy can they can probably up the
level of difficulty. Like I said, this is like the
taxi cab version Jeopardy. I want the real I want
the real Jeopardy, you know, the taxi version of Jeopardy.

(20:07):
Every It's like, I'm so smart, I could lead Jeopardy.
It's like, no, this is like Jeopardy for the masses.
This is action movie quotes the masses. I need you
to get you know, I needed to get into some
I want like B level Dolf Longdren movies thrown in here.
You know, I think, yeah, yeah, I want quotes from
like Showdown in Little Tokyo, stuff like that in here.

(20:27):
I don't want this stuff that everyone's gonna automatic something.
You're like, what is that movie? Not not worth your time?
I can tell you that not. No, No, I think
there's a I think it's Dolf Longer. I Come in,
I Come in Peace, which was like an alien movie.
You don't. Yeah, terrible, terrible movie. Um, that's the only thing.
There's a lot of really bad because it was like

(20:48):
a horror movies in the eighties too. There was the
Friday at thirteen franchise and uh uh what is it
to Nightmare on Elm Street and these very well known ones,
but there were so many knockoffs and rip off and
terrible ones out there. That's true of action movies too.
I mean, all you need in an action movie is
a guy with a fondness for h anabolic steroids and

(21:09):
carrying around fake a fake M sixteen and like shooting
it from the hip and being I will cool all
the bad guys and you can make a bad eighties
action movie. So there's that. Um all right, every line
is lit and I know I'm talking about here and
it's Friday, so I want to take your calls. But
before I get two calls, important announcement. I don't know
how important is. I think it's kind of cool. If

(21:30):
you go to Buck Sex and dot Com slash store,
mugs are now available, my friends mugs, uh Team Buck mugs.
You can get yours at Buck Sex and dot Com
slash store. It is in black and yellow. It is.
It is very uh fashionable. You can drink all you

Buck mug. Now, what's up? That's the way to do it,

(21:52):
all right, Mark in Florida, Buck Sex and dot Com
slash store to check out to get a mug, Mark
in Florida on wfl up. What's going on? Sir? Hey Buck,
good afternoon. How are you? Aloha? Aloha? All right now? Uh?
Just I was just listening to your last color um Dado.
I believe his name was from the beautiful island the water.

(22:14):
Jealous he's calling in from Hawaii? Yeah, but yeah, yeah, yeah,
could you please surmise your discussion in like five seconds
for refresh my memory? Not really, No, I was part
of the problem. I don't know. I got confused about
who was He was talking about African Americans and white privilege,
and I kept saying to him, but white privilege is
really a construct of leftist Democrats to leverage the black

(22:39):
experience in America for progressive power on the Democratic Party.
The white privileged phrase is not like, oh, the black
community feels this way about white people. The white privilege
phrase is a construct of the progressive left that leverages
the black experience for political power. Very cool, yes, thank you,

(23:00):
but why I'm calling? And I lost that feed as
soon as I called in. I couldn't hear your thing.
But I lived in I was privileged to live in
a whah who for a while. And those uh native
Hawaiians are most beautiful, uh, most beautiful people I've ever met.
Aloha is a is a is a huge, is a

(23:21):
huge and Uh. Ever, when he called in day though,
I think, is my amaage? Why are we talking about this? Still?
Mark I need to know what you want to talk about,
because I think he was right and you completely misread
what he was saying. How can you? How can you
think he was right when you need me to recount
the conversation because you missed it? Because well, I'm just

(23:45):
am I wrong? I don't know? You think I'm wrong,
but you don't. How could you be right if you
don't know if you're wrong? Well, from what I heard
before I called in, and you were completely, in my opinion,
you were completely misreading it. Okay, but you have to
tell me how to mark. You have to tell me
how he's misreading it. Work with me here, buddy, How
do how is I misreading it? Yes, sir as any

(24:06):
population has ever experienced racism, the Hawaiian people have suffered
the worst of it in our in our country, in
our United States. Wait, the Hawaiian people have suffered the worst. Yes,
sir um, you think Hawaiians have Hawaiians weren't. I mean,
this is kind of a strange. I wasn't expecting this direction.

(24:28):
I mean, you have the you have the Native Americans
who were exterminated, and you have blacks who are enslaved.
You tell me Hawaiians had it the worst. Look, I'm
not an expert in the history of Hawaii first one
to put that out there, but I'm not aware of
what's so bad about what happened in Hawaii. Well, and
he alsoso about reading books, and I read your books
that you recommended me. At least, gone, this is great?

(24:52):
What what is it? What is happening here? Are you guys?
He and he drops he, he drops the ball of
we're not uh. He drops the bomb of like Hawaii
people and Whai are the most depressed. And then I'm like,
we'll explain how that with Native Americans and African Americans,
Black America. And he just goes, all right, Um, let's

(25:18):
get Alan Missouri on the action. Here he's calling in,
let's go what's up. I'm all right, what's going on?
I'm a pipeliner and I travel all over the United
States and Trump has helped us so much. But what
I want to talk about is the Pakistanian that had

(25:39):
all the blackberries and the computers, the Pakistani I t guy,
you mean, yes, sir, yes, sir? What if that was
all Hillary's crap? Uh? Well, I mean you say what if?
I mean that would certainly be interesting, but I don't see.
I haven't seen any information so far that that's true,
so it would be an interesting theory. But you know,

(26:01):
this is this seems to be of Debbie Wasserman Schultz
being incompetent from what I've seen so far, and possibly
exposing congressional information and congressional servers to some very unethical
people with interesting, if not troubling, foreign connections. But I

(26:22):
don't know there's more we can say about it than that, right,
I mean, it seems to me that you have this
this family, it's a family affair, right, You've got this
family of people from Pakistan. I'm not sure if they
are I think they are Pakistani citizens. I may I
may be off on that one, um. But they they're
running i T for Debbie Wasserman Schultz up on the hill,

(26:43):
so they've access to all of her stuff. And as
everyone knows, like, you need to always keep the i
T people on your good side because they've got it.
They've got everything, and they've got access to everything. Um.
But you know, I haven't seen much other than looks
like they defrauded the government, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz was
kind of asleep at the wee along what was going on? Right?
I mean, what's the what's the worst what's the worst

(27:04):
case scenario that's based in facts we've already seen. Now.
I asked that question because I really don't know other
than what I've said, he might have all that information
if it was Hillary stuff, because there was blackberries and everything.
There no slim cards, they were all sman. I mean
Karen trying to carry that back. What does his wife
take back over with her. I think they were just

(27:27):
they were just bilking the government. I think they were
just uh, you know, running scams with no show jobs
and getting paid all this money. And I don't see
I mean, I you think there might have been an
espionage angle to it? Is that what you're saying that
there were some like state secrets had so much information
if they got Yeah, but I mean this is this

(27:49):
is all on on you know, not these are all
on open not open. But these are on just normal
emails email servers. From what I understand, right, I don't
think there's any I don't think these are on secure, sir.
I don't know. Look, I don't know the how the
House I T system. I don't know either, I mean,
I've been listening to you, but how do we really
know the truth. I don't know, man. I get people

(28:11):
these days to write me email as they're like, why
do you believe that story? You weren't there, And I'm like, well,
if that's the new standard for whether I can believe
a story or not, I guess I can't really believe
much of anything, So no I believe. Hey man, well
you're you're coming to a good place because I at
least at least trying to shoot straight here and be
honest with you. And I actually do all my own research,

(28:31):
so shields high. I'll appreciate you calling it. I promise
I'll stay on that Debbie Wasson Schultz situation. Um, we
have Bob and Mississippi on w BUV. Hey Bob, hey Buck,
great show, Thank you sir. You know, we've been staring
at this in the face for years and years, called

(28:52):
socialism stupid or socialist stupidity. They there's a term for
it too. You. But what do you do you mean?
Useful idiots people that like that, that that do the
work of communism and socialism without intending to Oh no, no, no,
they know what they're doing. Oh. The point is is
that they're willing to look stupid or act stupid just

(29:15):
to keep from acknowledging that the right point of view
is not theirs. They would just say oh really, oh no,
or just ignore it completely, and everybody does that, but
they do it to an art form. So you're just
saying that this is people wanna they want to believe

(29:37):
what they want to believe. Well, they can see a
riot before their eyes and call it. Um, Yeah, they
call it protests. I know that the term rioter is
so rarely used by the media. It's interesting, isn't it.
It is. You know, usually when there's tear gas and
stuff getting broken and cops getting attacked. You know, the
the the r word riot tends to get I think

(29:59):
it's applicable at least, but they don't apply it, they
don't use it. So fighting riot is a is a
law on the books that should be enforced and obviously, yeah,
no they don't. They don't enforce that one. I want
to get into some of the leftist violence that's been
going on. Actually, so that's a good transition. Bob Shields
time and thank you for calling in, and they run
into me summers that Mr Ahman folly easy here Axel

(30:20):
follow a well, excellent fall. Easier to see her is
all the Clans. That is Bronson Pincho in Beverly Hills
cop One one of the greatest movies of the eighties,
and and he was a standout star. They had him
come back to just reprise that role in that and

(30:41):
the secondent of ThReD One and Mr Pincho I think
later on was like kind of a had a rough
time on some reality TV stuff, but he was belky
from perfect strangers. I know. To please man, I was
all about the t G Thank You, Thank You, t
G I F that show, like those four shows, four comedies.

(31:03):
Every Friday, Man, I'd sit there, my parents would let
me order in pizza. I would play sid Meier's Civilization
on my computer and watch t G I. It was
like the greatest period of my life, really was you know,
when my brother wasn't around to like beat me up.
I would just just sit there and eat and eat
like take out food and watch t G I F
and play civil Civilization. You can kind of play and

(31:23):
watch TV and play and watch TV at the same time.
Greatest video game of all time by the way. Uh
So with that said, now I want to talk to
you about uh, this discussion will go into some detail
here Nazi punching. This is getting normalized by the left
that you can go out there and punch Nazis. Here,

(31:44):
here's the problem with it. There, there's a there's a
few problems with it, but the two biggest problems because
I know you hear this and you start to think, yeah,
I mean, there's a whole movie about, uh, just just
doing violence to Nazis as kind of a revenge fantasy.
What's the Quentin Tarantino movie. I can't remember what is
Inglorious Bastards? Thank you. I haven't seen I've seen scenes

(32:06):
from it, but I've never seen the whole thing. But
there's a whole movie about you know, yeah not and
the Nazis are the bad guys who are the basis well,
first of all, the basis in the Indiana Jones movies.
They're the basis for the Empire in Star Wars. I mean,
Nazis are the worst bad guys in all of history.
That's that's pretty much the the consensus, I think, even
though Stalin and the Communist Party under Stalin and you know,

(32:29):
there's there's an interesting discussion we had there about you know,
how close second place is the first place with the
worst ever. But and then some people are probably screaming
about Paul pot and there's there's there's no shortage of vile,
evil people in history, to be sure, or violent evil movements.
But I wanted to talk a bit about Nazi punching
because the problems with it are one and this is

(32:52):
what is the most immediate one is who's a Nazi?
Who counts as there is? I mean, they're they're really
there isn't in the way there wasn't in Germany, at
least there's not an open Nazi party in this country.
So when someone saying they're gonna punch someone because they're
a Nazi, what is who's the Nazi? And you might say, well, buck,
white nationalists, white supremacists, their Nazis, Okay, Well, people are

(33:17):
saying that Thomas Jefferson statues have to come down because
it's a symbol of white supremacy. Someone just decapitated earlier
today a statue of a colonel from the Revolutionary War,
Colonel William Crawford in Ohio decapitated this statue thousands and
thousands dollars of damage to a revel, to somebody from

(33:40):
the revel and not even the civil war Revolutionary War,
a blatant act of vandalism that the Talent band would
be proud of. It's one of the one of the
parts of history in Afghanistan. I know I'm jumping around here,
but I hope you listen to show, because we talked

(34:00):
about interesting things and I try to give you as
much interesting information as I can. Uh, if you have
a moment, go look up the the the Buddhas of
Bummy On bommy On province in central Afghanistan, Aghanistan. There
were Buddhas there that were thousands of years old, enormous
stone buddhas carved in the side of a cliff. And
the Taliban just cause decided to blow them up. Destroy

(34:25):
just destroy them, to destroy them. They've been there pre
Islamic by a whole lot, doesn't matter. Destroy them, and
they did. And it was It was actually one of
the few moments before nine eleven where the world was
pretty universally outrage at least the people that read the
international section of newspapers about the Taliban, because it was
just such an egregious and worthless and and dumb destruction

(34:53):
of a tremendous historical artifact. Right, that's just history. And
thousands of years thousand, multi thousand year old Buddhas getting
destroyed is not something that any person of any sanity
whatsoever would want to see. But the Buddhas of Bombayan
were destroyed by the Taliban. And uh, this destruction of

(35:20):
the statue of this revolutionary Uh, I'm sorry, I said
thousands there there hundred years old. Okay, sorry, I said
thousands one and a half thousand, Um, but that's old,
right to to destroy, to destroy these Buddhas, and they're

(35:40):
incredible of when you look at the photos of them.
Um was just an act of an act of malice
against the world by the Taliban. And I think that
that's what you're seeing now with this Antifa movement and
this pull it all down mentality in this country. Destroy
all the because it's it's Columbus, it's evolutionary heroes, it's

(36:01):
the Founding Fathers. It's that's all now also going under
the banner on the left of white supremacy. These are
all monuments Columbus, the revolutionary war heroes, the Founding fathers,
Thomas Jefferson, it's all white supremacy. Remember we played that
clip for your yesterday. You had that activists saying that
that this is all about destroying white supremacy. Well, if

(36:24):
white supremacy is the defining characteristic also of what we
would consider to be neo Nazis, and if the left
is saying that you can punch neo Nazis or Nazis,
can't you see how quickly, all of a sudden, anyone
that the Left doesn't like is now a Nazi worthy
of being punched because they're part of this white supremacy culture. Right.

(36:48):
I know it's crazy, but you have to follow their
reasoning and their arguments to understand where they're going. You're
not dealing with reasonable irrationally here, You're dealing with the
progressive left. Progressive idea apologies have been destroying countries and
civilizations for a couple of hundred years now, at least

(37:08):
in the modern context. So this is very serious stuff.
We'll talk more about left his violence and Nazi punching
and destroying statues in the next hour, So stay with me.
A black Trump supporter is punch right in the face
on video in Laguna Beach earlier this week, a man

(37:34):
in Colorado. He's stabbed in a parking lot outside of
a Steak in Shake in Colorado because his haircut got
him mistaken by his attacker for being a Nazi. A
woman in California punches a an alt right protester in

(37:59):
the face and before a judge says that it's not
a crime. And a member of Antifa thinks that somebody
at another protest is not with them and punches a
fellow Antifa person in the face really hard. These are
all things that have just happened in like the last
week or so. This is all violence on the left.

(38:22):
I should also note that at Charlottesville you had Antifa
punching journalists. This is verified, this happened. You didn't hear
much about that, did you. The only people to attack
journalists in Charlottesville were Antifa protesters. That's it. Rioters, Antifa, No,
none of the Nazis, none of the National socialists. You know,

(38:43):
white power guys attack journalists. Doesn't mean that they're not
disgraceful scum. But they didn't attack the journalist. The left
attack the journalists there. But did you even hear about that?
Did you hear about the guy who was stabbed because
it was haircut in Colorado because he was quote a
nuts see probably not. Did you hear about the black
Trump supporter who was just punched right in the face.

(39:06):
I mean really could have done serious damage people die
from if you get punched in the face and you're
not you don't see it coming, and you fall down
and hit your head on the on the pavement the side,
you can die. Just punched him right in the face.
Why Trump supporter? Uh? And then the Anti five We
actually have audio of the antip punching antipho here play it,

(39:30):
kneel Nazi, do not do that? What are you hearing
for today? I'm not exactly right now. The guy's whole
cheek was was split open. I mean, just punched him
right in the face. These are a political events, everybody.

(39:51):
These are supposed to be protesters. Why why are you'll
notice how many anti people are getting attacked by by
the right at at different protests. I'm I'm not seeing.
I'm doing a dive into all the news stories from
this week on this and nothing but I can pull
up plenty of these of these other incidents. I mean,

(40:11):
this is what happened in in in Colorado earlier this week,
Um Joshua Wit twenty six escaped his doom with a
defensive slice to the hand in three stitches. Quote. Apparently
my haircut is considered a neo Nazi statement. He was
opening his car door when he heard are you one

(40:32):
of them neo Nazis? As this dude is swing a
knife up over my car door at me? Do it? Um? So,
this guy gets stabbed because he has a haircut that's
long on top, short on the sides. I should note
that that's very common and popular these days. Actually, this
is a haircut. I mean Nacklemore, the musical group, had

(40:56):
it for guys and that I don't know who they
are really, but I'm so I'm told you know they
had it for a while, and plenty of Brad Pitt
had it for a little while. I mean, this is
a hairstyle that some people have. I'm what I see
very commonly now is very Uh. I went to a
wedding where, like every this is a couple of months ago,
pretty much every guy there had very close cropped beard

(41:21):
and shaved sides of the head and kind of long hair,
longer hair on top that is combed back and to
the side, and kind of a side part. And they
weren't neo Nazis. They're just dudes that are trying to
be fashionable. That's that's a fashion saving these people. That's
a But this guy for whatever, you know, because there
are some and it's mostly because they've created this, uh,

(41:45):
this kind of celebrity of evil with this Richard Spencer guy,
and because he has a haircut that's kind of like that.
Now that's considered, it's like you're walking around with it
with like, you know, a sign that says neo Nazi
on them. But you know, it's not a Hitler mustache. Okay,
it's it's not some big statement, in fact, a common
way of wearing your hair. And if you don't if
you don't think that I'm or if you think that

(42:05):
I'm exaggerating the problem or that this could happen, never mind,
this guy's getting stabbed and remember he's getting stabbed, the
guy saying are you one of those Nazis because of
his hair? Uh. Samantha b who is one of these
unfunny female comedians who was just foisted on us by
the by the Democrat liberal media complex. She's up there
with Amy Schumer. Samantha B. I mean, these they're just

(42:27):
not funny. They're just not funny. They're not good at
what they do. I wish they were because I love laughing.
They're not funny, Kathy Griffin. These are people who are
not funny, trying really hard, uh, and they get a
lot of play, you know, a lot of attention to
the media. But Samantha B did this whole thing about

(42:51):
I forget. I think it was actually at Sea Pack.
Was it at Sea Pack or it was at some
concern it was at something. It wasn't Sea Pack. It
was some conservative student event, and she said she referred
to somebody there as having a young man in college
age as having Nazi hair. And this was on TV
and they didn't They just showed the an image of
the guy and said he has Nazi hair. Actually he

(43:14):
has brain cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy and had a
shave because that's part of having to deal with the
procedures and the processes of chemo. But Samantha Be thought
it was funny. Now she says, oh, well, we didn't know. Yeah,
but why are you going around calling people because she
thought here's what she thought, conservative has his haircut, he's

(43:34):
a not let's call him a Nazi. And she wasn't
all that apologetic either. I should know. It was kind
of like, yeah, well we didn't know. Sorry. Um. You
can imagine how this would go and if there were
some different factors at play. Um. But this is why
I want to talk to you about Nazi punching, because
they're creating this conception of standing up against fascism by

(44:00):
any means necessary. In fact, that's the name of a
group that a woman belonged to in California when she
punched someone in the face at a protest. Will get
to her in a second, and her defense of her conduct.
But this whole movement right now, the the progressive left,
is uniting around this concept of standing up to fascism.

(44:21):
Here's what you need to keep in mind. Here's what
you need to know. In their view, fascism is not
the Nazi party. They're not just standing up to fascists
or Nazis at all. In their view, Trump is a fascist.
In their view, the Republican Party that supports him and
that he now leads is a party of fascism. Again,

(44:45):
it's crazy, but that's what they think. They're wrong, but
it doesn't matter. Because that's what they're that's how they're acting.
They are acting as though that is correct. So we
should be very aware of this that when they say
Nazi punching, they mean punching anybody with whom we disagree
strongly enough. Because there aren't enough Nazis for anyone to

(45:07):
really care about Nazis getting punched. There just aren't. And
that's how you have these incidents. Now, why why would
someone get stabbed because of their haircut with a guy
thinking he's a Nazi? Because they've created a hysteria there
are Nazis all over the country now. So going back
to the original premise, it's who are Nazis In the

(45:28):
conception that the left has here, it just means the
Nazi is becoming a stand in for conservative and they
were doing this with alt right as well, but that
didn't have that and I saw this coming right around
the election. You know, alts right is now is now
all of conservatism, It's now all of the Republican Party
and the alt right and national social But the alt
right doesn't sound scary enough, so they just went with fascism.

(45:51):
And that's why they have this group Anti Fuss standing
up against fascism. Where does the fascism come from? Why
is there a surge and fascism now? Is it just
a coincidence that Donald Trump is the president and there
are anti fascist groups popping up? Of course not. They're
saying the president is a fascist and the people who
support them or fascists, their Nazis. They are the moral
equivalent of Nazis. And if you really believe that, if

(46:14):
a person really believes that, what are they unwilling to do?
Where do they draw the lines? Let me ask you this,
you're rational, reasonable, moral person. If you really thought that
there was an actual Nazi party that was ascended in
this country, would you consider drastic action? Now? The difference

(46:36):
is that I'm talking about actual Nazis. They're talking about
people that believe in like lower taxation and limited government
and constitutionalism, i e. Conservatives. They think they're Nazis. Never
mind the fact that the left is the party of
industrial industrialized abortion on demand. And I mean we could
talk about the similarities between with with you know, in fantaside, genocide,

(47:01):
Nazi Party, all that, But the point here is that
they really believe that they're standing up against the Nazi menace.
You can hear it in the way they talk about this.
You have a woman out in California. I have the
audio of it. Her name is uh Yvette Fillarca's forty

(47:21):
seven years old, and she was involved in an anti
fascist demonstration in California back in June. An anti fascist.
Who are the fascist she thinks she's demonstrating against in
June of everybody? Hmm, indra all of a sudden, there

(47:41):
what was also happening that? Oh yeah, so she's an
anti she's an anti fascist in June, and she reportedly,
allegedly it's charged. Oh no, actually, I'm sorry, she's charged
with felony assaults. I don't know. I don't think she
was convicted yet, charge of felony assault for punching somebody

(48:02):
in the in the face. Um, she punched a member
of the Traditionalist Worker Party, which is described here in
the Huffington Post. I should know it as a white
nationalist group, are I. I have to now keep on
looking at whether because you have to be very careful
of this. The people in Boston were not white nationalists everybody,
but they were kind of reported as being all right white.

(48:23):
They were not. They were just free speech kids. Let's
have a free speech rally, a free speech but because
it came after Charlottesville, it seemed like, oh, there was
some connection, would be very The media, as you know,
is dishonest, very dishonest media. They are dishonest. Though they're
gonna be sneaky with this. You can't let them get
away with just pinning the label of white nationalists on

(48:45):
every group that's you know, wants secure borders, or wants
a tougher line on Islamic extremism, or because they'll do it,
they'll do it. So I don't know anything about this group,
and maybe they are maybe the Sationals Worker Party, and
this one probably is a bunch of white nationalist jerks.
But I'm just saying, be careful with this, because Boston

(49:06):
was not white nationalists. There was a free speech rally
and forty thousand anti fascists showed up. What fascism were
they protesting? Back to California. On this woman, So she's
at this rally and she she allegedly um punches somebody
in the face and she so she said, and she

(49:28):
said that she was attacking a neo Nazi. And and
here's what she said publicly about Remember she's charged with
felony assault. Here's her defense. These charges are false against me.
They should be dropped on. Standing up against fascism and
the rise of Nazism and fascism in this country is
not a crime. We have a right to defend ourselves.
We have a right to defend herself. Standing up against

(49:49):
fascism is not a crime. So this woman is accused
of of attacking someone and she's calling it standing up
against fascism. But the huffing In Post tweeted this out,
as you know, woman claims that woman, you know, accused
of assault claims standing up to fascism isn't a crime. Actually,
the headline is, quote teacher accused of punching neo Nazi

(50:11):
says standing up to fascism isn't a crime. And all
the love that she was getting and the retweets at
this god and people are like, yeah, yeah, here's the
other part about Nazi punching. Forget about not not Nazis
getting punched, which is already happening. They're getting stabbed, they're
getting punched, they're getting attacked in any number of ways.

(50:32):
Non Nazis, right, just people that the left doesn't like.
And then they'll say they were Nazis, or they'll say
they were you know, friendly to Nazis or whatever. But
here's the even more difficult part for them punching somebody
because what they say is not okay even if they
are a Nazi. This is what the left does not
get right now. This is what they're abandoning because free

(50:53):
speech right now doesn't suit their suit their political purposes.
So they're just they're just throwing free speech out entirely.
If somebody stands on a street corner and says that
they think that, you know, national socialism is the wave
of the future and it would be great, and they
want to start a National Socialist Party in America, or
if they just spew a bunch of vile invective about

(51:15):
different races and racest being inferior and everything, you know,
you have the right to stand in the other street
corner or you know, stand across with them and say,
this person is more on, this person is an idiot.
But you don't have the right to walk up with
a baseball bat and just open their skull up on
the street right there. You don't, but you'll notice that
the left kind of thinks you do this is very dangerous.

(51:37):
You have the expansion of the definition of a Nazi
to include anyone the left or fascism as well. It
really it's more fascism, but Nazi too. A Nazi is
anyone now that the left really really really doesn't like,
and violence against Nazis is okay. This is an incredibly
dangerous series of political trend positions that are happening right

(52:01):
now for all the reasons that I'm explaining to you.
And like I said, I'm not worried about Nazis because
there really aren't any Nazis, very few. I'm worried about
the Nazis the way I'm worried about the Westboro Baptist
Church in this country, disgusting idiots. But not about not
about to run the country, you know what I mean,
not not a not a problem within the culture in
a meaningful sense. Um, alright, eight four four buck, I

(52:25):
won't take your calls on this and whatever else you've
got in mind. We'll get to that and much more.
King Kong ain't got on me. Uh. That is Denzel
Washington in training day for which he got an oscar,
and uh, I say, I thought it was well there,
I think I think he's phenomenal. He carries that entire
movie on his shoulders. A Training Day really good movie,

(52:47):
really moves very quickly, very tight screenplay. I thought Training
Day was was excellent. Um, and I like Ethan Hawking
it two and usually I think Ethan hawks kind of
you know me, but he was pretty solid. Uh, let's
get to the lines, because lines are lit. Uh, Jonathan
in Nebraska, what's up, my friend? Oh? Not much, just

(53:09):
ready to get the weekend going. I hear you. So
I wanted to call and ask you a history question.
A history question. Okay, we'll see if I get I mean,
you know, I am fallible on history. Unfortunately, this is
more of an opinion question. My dad threw this one
at me, so I was curious to get your take. Well,

(53:30):
who would you say is the one person has had
the biggest impact on the world in the twenties and
twenty first century? Uh, I don't know. It's a it's
a it's a tough question. Impact so not necessarily good. Right,
it could be anything, right, I mean, now, now you

(53:53):
get into do you want to go in the direction
of the great the great leaders? Do you want to
go in the direction of the great monsters. I honestly don't.
I honestly don't have an answer that I really have
to think about it. Yeah, I didn't have an answer either,
And he threw out a name at me. He threwout
Gabriello princetep. Oh, yeah, the guy who the assassin from
uh Sarajevo who killed Artuke friends Ferdinand. Yeah, well that's

(54:16):
really an incident though more than a person, you know
what I'm saying. I mean, that's that's he. But I
guess you can say this two are tied together. But yeah,
the friends Ferdinand moment um fascinating how that whole thing
went down, by the way, you know, he was warned
about it. Ferdinand was warned that there that he was
going into a pretty hostile place, but he was like, yeah,

(54:37):
it will be all right. And then they missed the
initial attempt to get him, and then they got him
on when he went to go visit people who were wounded,
they got lost on the way to the hospital. And
in the second assassination tap attempt is when Princess just
kind of stumbled upon him in an alleyway and shot him. Uh.
Because the first time around, I think they threw a

(54:58):
grenade and it rolled off off in it and it
injured some people that were in the motor ca, but
it didn't actually hit the Archduke. Uh. Very interesting. And
with the guy was a member of the what was
the the Black Hand I think was the name of
the of the group that he was a part of.
It was a bunch of Serbian nationalists. Now I'm going
off the cuff here, so I might be making some mistakes,
but I think that all sounds about right. But yeah,

(55:20):
that's an interesting point. We just started talking about all
the events that have you know, the domino effect off
of that up until now. Well, you know, I don't
I don't want to. I know, We're on a Friday,
and and honestly, I think most of the country is
bracing for what could be a really horrific and damaging storm,
and so our minds are on that. For for the

(55:41):
folks in Texas and elsewhere, they're gonna get hit by this.
But um, so I hate to be adding onto uh
what's already a tense mood. But the reality is that
if if things had gone a little differently on that
baseball field in Alexandria, I don't know, I don't know
what this country would be going through right now, but
it would be ugly. We are so lucky, We are

(56:04):
so lucky that that shooter did not kill numerous members
of Congress that day, because he very easily could have,
you know, if you did not have a security detail there,
and if you had somebody who had you know, if
you had a shooter with greater a greater tactical proficiency.

(56:24):
Thank god, those Metro police were there and we're able
to take the shooter out, but we could have lost
what five or six members of Congress that day easily
at all un targeted for being being uh freedom Cox conservatives.
So I we we narrowly. I mean you're you're talking
about a friend's Ferdinand moment. I mean we narrowly missed that.

(56:45):
That would have really shook up this nation. Uh that
you know, in a way similar to when we've looked
at what it would have been, similar to I assumed
the feeling of the country has had in the past
when we've lost we've lost the president. I mean, that
would have been a real low and that scary things
happen after incidents like that. But Jonathan, I appreciate you
calling in from from Nebraska. UM and with an interesting question. Team.

(57:09):
But I see this a lot of calls here. We'll
get to some of those, and I'll talk to you
about this if I can get to this huff Post piece.
Third hour. We're talking a little about pit bulls. There's
a debate. It's starting up again. It's half many times
before our pit bulls dangerous or they loving wonderful pets.
People who love dogs. Get fierce on that one. And
I'll also talk to you about some words that are

(57:31):
in the process of being banned, uh word banning. That
are more coming up. Stay with me. We've got calls
I want to take. Wait, wait, we have a We've
got a lot of calls. Hold on a second. Um.
Dr Rick from Maryland, listening on the I Heart app.
What's up? Dr Rick? I tell you yesterday you talked

(57:56):
about seeing people on the left the alf of as delusional,
and I could not agree with you more. My concern
is that right now we you know, the right is
a showing incredible restraint, and I worry when that that
small fringe minority on our side, maybe that has the

(58:19):
restraint worth thin, you know. And that's why I mean
the bulk of people are good people. If they weren't,
we have a lot more news going on. But it's
just that that that there's few people that can have
such an impact. Well, this is it reminds me of
our our previous caller, who's who was bringing up the
assassination of our two friends, Ferdinand. It was it was

(58:40):
a an assassination of you know, of an aging europe
of a monarch and an aging European kingdom in the
backwater of that kingdom that led to the First World
War and millions and millions of people killed. Uh. You know,
the the ramifications of even small groups of dedicated revolution
areas can be a great thing and can be incredibly

(59:03):
destructive thing. And you look back in history, whether you're
talking about, uh, the origins of the American Revolution, the
Founding Fathers, you're talking about the Russian Revolution and the
rise of the Soviets. It's a dedicated few who get
this stuff going. And that's what that's what oftentimes is
the motivation for those who are clearly on the fringe.

(59:25):
But the fringe can sometimes run the show, you know that.
That's what's a little scary is that sometimes the fringe
and I don't think we're near that in this country.
But then again, when you look at the dominance of
memes and simple concepts and social media and the ability
to inflate the message of a small group if it
has a compliant media with it. You know, if the

(59:48):
if the broader media goes along, unthinkable propaganda is possible here,
you know, completely. Yeah, that's concerned Trump's reality. One of
my favorite books that I recommend to my patients is
um pre Economics, the first volume. I love it, and

(01:00:08):
over and over again he shows how it's our perception
that impacts our behavior. I mean, you know, the perception
that kids are being abducted left and right, when actually
far less are being affected now than in decades earlier.
And and so this perception is being presented and sold
on the news because it sells. And how that impacts behavior. Yeah,

(01:00:32):
I think it's it's fascinating, you know, as somebody growing
up in New York City, Uh, I just have this
natural habit of always you know, like what watch your
wallet on the subway with something people would say to you,
and you know, no one in these days on the
New York City subway, no one wants your wallet. People
have got other things on there. You know, it's just
it's just not a problem. Yeah, I mean, but but

(01:00:52):
we're we're raised with this fear of oh gosh, you know,
and uh, and if you leave your door unlocked, it's
you know, someone's gonna break in. Well, when you really
think about at it, the chances of even if you
left your door unlocked in a metropolitan area like New
York City, someone would have to be like, oh, I'm
gonna go try out your door and figure out that
it's unlocked in the first place. So fear is is
a very powerful thing. And fear is based largely in perception.

(01:01:16):
So I and that's why, by the way, all the
stuff doc about Nazis and the rise of Nazis, there
is no rise of Nazis. There is no rising fascism.
You've got a billionaire playboy essentially who is now the
President United States, who grew up in New York City,
who's got a you know, a multi ethnic, multi confessional
family and loves the media and playing golf. He's not

(01:01:39):
a fascist. He's not a fascist. But I tell you,
you know, because of who I see. I see people
who are highly educated and u and basically because I'm
keep for service. They believe this stuff, and that's to
me is the most disturbing that people who are very intelligent,
who should know better, who should know to really do

(01:02:00):
due diligence in looking at the news and not just
getting it from a few sources, and they don't, and
they are ignorant to a degree to you know, to
maintain you know, their ideology. That is disturbing, absolutely, Doc,
that's a that's a critical point that smart educated people
think that the long dark knight of fascism is upon us.
That's what what's terrifying is that people believe that shields high. Doc,

(01:02:23):
thank you so much for colling from Maryland. Uh see,
not all. I've told you guys before that the part
of medicine most dominated by the left ideologically is actually
psychotherapy and psychiatry, but obviously not all. So we got
we got a doc who's sees things as they are.
You know, it's not just sitting around listening to NPR

(01:02:46):
drinking soy milk, which is fake milk. It's milk that's
pretend it doesn't even deserve. It's soy drink or soy juice.
Really upsets me. You know what, I mean it makes
me just as a big milk drinker. I drink milk
all the time. I drink home milk all the time.
People look at so bad for you. I'm like, who
sold you on this one percent milk idea? Well, what
kind of propaganda? What kind of comi propaganda is that

(01:03:08):
one percent milk? What is this? Is it against? It
makes no sense, makes no sense at all. I get
very very aggravated with this. Alex in New York. Listen
on the I Heart app. What's up? Man? Yes, what's up? Buck?
Chill tide buddy, thank you for calling. I got a
movie for you. All right, let's see. Let's see what
you got better. You better know this one, because I

(01:03:31):
think it's all right. Uh, the generator is gone? Is
there any way we could fix it? It's gone? And
then he says his name, I know you know this movie.
I mean, that's but that's like a thing, that's almost
like it will you be having wine with dinner? Quote?
I mean that's not really if you got to give

(01:03:52):
the generator is gone? Is that Jurassic Park? No, it's
the thing. He's like, it's gone. I actually I've never
seen that. It wasn't that a remake. Haven't there been
a few versions of that original along with Jack Kurt
Kurt Russell. You gotta see it? Is it good? With
the movies you like, You'll love it? Okay, all right, yeah,

(01:04:13):
I'll have to check it out. I mean, you know,
Jack or Kurt, not Jack Kurt Russell. Um, you know,
for me, it's between Tombstone and Big Trouble Little China
for his best. I mean, Tombstone's obviously a way better movie,
but I'm so partially Big Trouble Little China. I also
think you couldn't make Big Trouble a Little China. I
think you'd get in trouble for making that movie. Um,
but anyway, anything else in your mind? Alexul We good? Um, well, okay,

(01:04:35):
I'm gonna bust the chops again. The guy from Hawaii
had three questions to ask for anyone who would cry
white privilege. He thought that mostly that would be African Americans,
but you corrected him on that. Uh yeah, I And
by the way, I've I've caught a lot of people
who listen to the show now that I'm actually excuse me,

(01:04:56):
I'm actually uh on Twitter and Facebook during the show
in the break too, so just so you know, I've
caught I've caught a fair amount of people wanted to
hear I apologize. People wanted to hear his three questions,
and I got caught up and I didn't understand what
he was trying to say in the beginning, and then
I got a little a little lost. Look, you know,
it's it's live radio. It's not always uh, it's not

(01:05:16):
like this is all scripted out. So I to the
gentleman from Hawaii, I should have let you get your
three questions out of and if you wanted to call
back another day another show, I would do that. But
I wasn't fine. I wasn't following what he was trying
to say. And then he kept trying to repeat a
point that I think he was a little off on.
But I should have let him get his three questions,
and and the team has held me to account. I've
gotten some heat. Yeah yeah, yeah, but a lot of

(01:05:39):
closures do that. They take too much time? Yeah all right,
Alex Shield time man. Thank you, sir, Tom and Delaware.
What's going on? Tom? Hey Buck? How are you? I'm good?
I really jo your show. I I love the history
lessons and uh, I just wanted to say, I'm a
construction manager from New York City and I know a

(01:06:00):
lot about in New York City. And when you talk
about in New York City, I enjoy that. Thank you.
And the subways are are a kick. I mean, people
get along with everybody on the subway. It's one of
the great it's one of the great marvels of of
you know, modern day life in America is that we're
all jammed into the speeding metal tubes are so loud,

(01:06:21):
and people are falling on top of each other and
you're getting stuck in whatever, and like you know, there
really is. Every time you step on a subway car
in New York City, it's like that's your team for
the next ten minutes. You know, you're all at it together.
That's right, it is. It's your team. You got teammates.
Way to work. Absolutely And I got a movie quote
for you. Sure, okay, Mr Chiswick, what are you doing.

(01:06:44):
I can drive the boat, Mac, I'm driving the boat
lethal weapon. No, No, that was from that was from ty.
He tried to give me an assist. He verbal lies
that for me across the glass Hero, what is that?
Once a little bit of that's not an action movie.

(01:07:08):
Come on, Tom, you're a great man and a patriot,
but come on, that's not an action I haven't even
seen that, and I know that's not an action movie.
This is not known. There are rules, Tom Well, I
got you. Uh listen. I really enjoy uh your history lessons,
especially on the islam stuff like the Wars and oh

(01:07:29):
thank you. I'm gonna be doing a show, and I'm
trying to think of how I'm gonna be doing a
show on the Siege of Malta. I don't know if
it's a whole show. I think what I'll probably do
is a couple of hours and break it up and
we'll see. I mean, we'll see if people like it.
But a Siege of Malta is amazing. The fact they
haven't made a movie or a mini series about it
just just is crazy to me. It's an incredibly important

(01:07:50):
point in history Christendom against the Islamic conquest right in
the Middle Mediterranean. Crazy battle people chopping off heads and
launching bodies with catapults at each other. I mean, it's
bunker stuff going on there, and I'm gonna be doing
that in just a couple of weeks. So I think
we'll probably do to one hour segments over the course
of two days, to coincide, by the way, with the

(01:08:11):
end of the battle. UM. So I'm glad you like
the history man. Hopefully you'll we lost him. I was
getting so excited that we lost. But thanks for calling in,
my friend. But yeah, I think we'll be doing We'll
be doing some of that um I wanted to do.
I've been wanting to a Barbary pirate show for a while.
I think I'll probably do a show on When I
say a show, it will probably end up being a
segment or two, but on the white slave trade in

(01:08:33):
the Mediterranean, which is fascinating and people don't ever talk
about it, don't ever know about it. Um. So that's
a that's a subject that I want to So the
Barbary I've been thinking of doing the Barbary Pirates for
a while. Um Also Hannibal crossing the Alps, and I
talked about can I on the show, I think, but

(01:08:53):
maybe a little more of an expansion on that. Um.
I've got a few. I got a few that are
that are per late and of course the Battle of
Lepanto October seven one, So that'll be in October. Those
of you who followed me from the early buck Sexton
show days knows that know that Lepanto has a special
place in my heart. Another incredible one of the most amazing,

(01:09:14):
most important naval battles in all history, really in the
top five. I mean it's in the same discussion as
Midway Actium. I mean, you know, it's one of the
most important naval engagements in history. And people are like, lo,
what no idea, no idea, fascinating stuff. So yeah, if
you keep listening to the show, I'll tell you more

(01:09:35):
of those stories. People seem to like that. I you know,
occasional I'll get a little bit of feedback, people like, oh,
it's too dry to do history, and I'm like, look,
I'm not. I'm not pretending to be the history channel.
I don't show up in New three hours of History
every day, but once in a while with a really
I try to also pick ones that still have that
have echoes and ramifications and correlations to today and what's
going on. And with some of these battles, you'll be like, hmm,

(01:09:57):
that sounds kind of familiar. Alright, right, I uh you
know what I think. Well, they'd say one more call here,
Mark in Pennsylvania. W A E b Hey, Mark, what's up?
We're not Mark? Going once? Going twice? Hey, buddy, what's up?
You can hear me now? Yeah? We can? Okay? Sorry, Um,

(01:10:19):
So liberal calling in from Pennsylvania. I thought they'd try
to turn the subject away from these broad breaks. Got
a liberal call. It is very exciting, Sarah, Welcome to
Freedom Hunt. Yeah, and so I'd like to talk about
an issue right that is near and dear to the
conservative side. So you guys believe that cutting taxes and
cutting government spending is the panacea for government for growth

(01:10:43):
in the economy. Right, panacea might be too strong, but
it's certainly helpful. Yeah, okay. So we've had like a
little experiment in this in the past couple of years
out in Kansas, where Governor Brownback did exactly that cut
business taxes to the bare bones. And you know what, Mark, Mark,
I don't want to be the guy who cuts off
the liberal because he's got to go to a break.

(01:11:05):
But why don't you stay with us. I'll let you
finish on the other side because we do have to
go in to break, but we'll keep you. Okay, We'll
let you finish your question, stay with us. Buck Sexton
back with you now. Remember buck Sex and dot com
slash store. We got mugs and t shirts and hats,
all kinds of fun stuff there. Do you check it out? Also,
if you haven't already, please do subscribe to the podcast.
It's on iTunes, Buck Sex and with America. Now we
got Mark, our friend, our liberal friend from Pennsylvania, and

(01:11:27):
w A. E. B. Mark. You were saying about taxes.
We got about a minute and change. Go. Okay, so
you heard what I was saying about Kansas were brown
Back actually cut taxes drastically and then also cut government
spending drastically, and to his own admission or his goal
was to have this huge economic boom, it never happened

(01:11:48):
to the point where the Republican Congress and in for
a legislator in Kansas had to reverse everything he did.
So please explain to me how that it's not real
a real uh indication of how well the conservative thoughts work. Okay, Well,
I mean, for one, when you're talking about what a
state government is doing, you're automatically excluding from that all

(01:12:13):
of the market intrusions and and the social engineering that's
going on via the federal tax code, which is doesn't
matter what state you're in, right, you're still paying federal
income tax, federal corporate tax. The federal tax code is
a much bigger part of what's affecting the economy everywhere
than what's going on on a state by state basis.
Not to say that the states have no role in it,
but the federal tax code is a much more potent

(01:12:36):
force in business, right, I mean, what are you more
worried about paying your state tax your federal income tax?
You don't need to answer that because we all know. Um,
I mean, you're skirting the issue here. Brownback said what
he was going to put in in place was going
to work, and it didn't work. So you're just trying
to No, No, I'm not I'm not trying to do anything.

(01:12:56):
I'll be honest with the mark I'm actually not familiar with.
I'm really not familiar with the specifics of of Kansas
and what brown Back did there, so I can't this.
This is a good point where all your conservative listeners
should actually look into this and see what happened in
Kansas and and explain how this conservative thought actually works.

(01:13:17):
I'll make you, I'll make you a deal, Mark, I will,
I will look into what brown Back did in Kansas
and we'll address it on the show, probably maybe next week,
maybe next Friday. And uh, we'll have all we can
repeat the conversation if you want to call in. All right,
With that said, everybody, we've got it, so I will.
I'll tackle it next week, Mark, thank you. Um. We
have a couple of guests coming up here from the

(01:13:38):
Hoover Institute and a comedian and more stuff. Welcome back,
team Buck. I'm often telling you that the left has
killed comedy in this country, but it's not entirely true,
or at least comedy is not entirely dead. There's still
folks out there who are making jokes, and in the
current environment, I think it's a particularly interesting conversation about
how you can be funny and illuminating and irreverend with

(01:14:00):
out running a foul too much of the PC police.
We've got Tom Leopold on the line to talk to
us about the comedy world. He is a comedy writer, novelist,
and performer. He's written episodes of Seinfeld and Cheers. He's
also worked with Chevy Chase and Paul Shaffer and Miley Cyrus.
He's a writer for Comedy wire dot com, and he

(01:14:20):
recently wrote Vice President's Vice President Pence's Gridiron speech. So
wait you tom Oh, let's start with that. You write
speeches for the vice president? Well, um boy, that thank
you for that bio. I wish I had a piece
of myself. That sounds so successful. Um yeah, I wrote
the Vice president's Gridiron speech this year. How did that happen?

(01:14:42):
He killed But she's a face for using show business,
and so just before he went on with it, he
turned to me and said, you know, I'll be all
right and go. Don't worry, Mr Vice President you'll kill
you know, and all the Secret Service guys around him,
like Kent stuff. You know, you don't want to use
those words, would kill along them. Yeah, no, I especially

(01:15:03):
these days, people are particularly testy about all that. But
tell me about it's so excited. Yeah yeah, tell me
a bit so so congrats and running the veep's speech.
So being a conservative comedian today, what's that like? Because
I'm always worried that, you know, you don't get the
leeway that somebody on the other side does, which just
makes it an unfair and un leveled playing field. Well,

(01:15:27):
I'm really a comedy writer. So the stuff that I
write gets other people blacknested. Oh there you go, yeah,
they say it. Well, it's a it's a it's an
interesting things speaking of the Vice president speech, because it
was almost as you can imagine, and maybe you've already
done this sort of thing, but to be asked to
come down and fly around on Air Force too with
the vice president white kitchenn't jokes to the grid Iron thing,

(01:15:49):
you know, it was like, I'm like Rob Pifrey from
the Dick sand Show. I'm just so excited and there's
guys with grenades on their chests and talking to their
sleeves and you know, I'm up an air Force and uh,
it's just something like, oh kind of wish my father
were live to know I was doing this, and I
would have done it even for a liberal president, just
because it's just such a patriotic, thrilling thing, you know. Um.

(01:16:13):
But I was going to put it on Facebook and
tell everybody because I was you know, I'm not above
that sort of thing. And then I was just thinking, like,
they're just gonna hate me even more, because you know,
they the people I know are all in show business
are all pretty liberals, so I thought, oh I can
this time. I won't brag. You know, as much as
I enjoyed it, I was really felt that I shouldn't

(01:16:35):
put it on there because I just Facebook is just
such a you know, all right, Dom, Well, look, man,
I appreciate congrats on writing the Vice president's speech. I
know you're write for Comedy wire dot com. So thank
you very much for for that. And we appreciate you
joining us today on the show. Thank you very much.
I appreciate it. Thanks, Take care, all right, teams. So

(01:16:55):
we were talking about conservative comedy there for a second,
and uh we got some we got some answers. I
also want to talk about speech issues and speech on
campus and how the left is increasingly embracing violence against
speech that they do not like. We've got Josh Row
on the phone now. He's a senior fellow at the

(01:17:16):
Hoover Institute and a professor of finance at the Stanford
Graduate School of Business. He also taught at University of
Chicago's Booth School of Business. Great to have you on, Josh,
Great to be here. Uh So, there is a movement
to foot on campus and you're somebody as a professor
who understands the campus environment very well to shut down

(01:17:37):
speech that people some people don't like. They come from
a leftist perspective with violence. Where do you see this
coming from and what are the best ways to combat it? Well,
I think populism has been on the rise in America
in both political parties, and with that, there are a
lot of strident opinions, uh in our politics with little
consideration of the facts, and much of that has spilled

(01:18:01):
over to university campuses. Uh, and my love is coming
from university campuses. And so we felt that there was
no more important time than now to make sure that
our young people are able to take an objective look
at today's issues and to analyze them and their policies
being proposed using facts, data driven research, and reason. And

(01:18:22):
so that's why my colleagues got Atlison I decided to
develop this Hoover Institution Summer Policy Boot Camp. Tell us
about the Summer Policy Boot Campus August twenties through twenty six.
That's right. This is so, this is sort of we're
we're getting towards the tail end of it here and
we confront students from around the country. These are undergraduates
from universities from around the country who come to Stanford

(01:18:45):
University the Hoover Institution for a week and we confront
them with facts and expert research. You know. The program
consists of lectures and discussions that are led by the
senior fellows of the Hoover Institution, and these are primarily
Stanford University faculty who have joint appointments with the Hoover Institution.
They are deep experts in their disciplines and also many

(01:19:06):
of them have extensive policy experience in Washington with organizations
like the Council of Economic Advisors UM. And I think
we felt that the Hoover Institution was uniquely poised, as
I say, to confront students with facts and expert research
to you know, allow them to be able to think
critically for themselves about the issues. And one of the
issues we're looking at here at the boot camp, well,

(01:19:26):
it's really the gamut of domestic and foreign policy. We're
looking at fiscal policy, monetary policy, central banking, international relations, healthcare, education,
national security, and we want students to think about these
ideas critically and not fall back on preconceived ideas and assertion.
Are there resources for students who could not make it
that wish that they could have made it, and or

(01:19:48):
just for folks out there who want to get the
benefit of the Summer Policy boot Camp to the best
of their ability virtually online, Well, the Hoover Institution runs
a website called policy ed and on this website, UH
one can get access to the research of the Hoover
Institutions senior Fellows in a very very accessible way. Um

(01:20:08):
our teams here have they worked with with Hoover Institutions
senior fellows who are also Stanford University professors, and what
they're doing is bringing this to the general public through videos,
fun exercises. So I highly recommend the Hoover Institutions Policy
at website. All Right, Josh Row, Senior Fellow at the
Hoover Institution, Professor of Finance at Stanford School of Business,

(01:20:31):
wants everyone to know about the Summer Policy boot Camp
at the Hoover Institution. Puts on and go check out
the website that he just mentioned. Josh, great to have
you on the program, sir, Thank you so much for
what you and Hoover do. Thanks very much, buck so team,
I wanted to talk to you a bit about you
because we're talking so much about language and where all

(01:20:51):
of the where, all the you know where this has
been going in recent days and weeks. There's this guy
you may recall, Uh, there's this individual who is uh
who got into a whole bunch of trouble a while
back because he was he's a tennis announcer and he
was talking about Venus Williams during a tennis match and

(01:21:14):
he said, um, here's the He said that she was
being very aggressive coming into net. I'm somebody who I
will admit I actually really like and enjoy and play
a lot of tennis. At least I play one I can.
I know. It's like I'm It's like I'm barely American anymore. Actually, Merrick,
tennis a very American sport. It's just and it's become

(01:21:35):
I'd like to say, tennis is very cool sport and
very athletic. It's not just for you know, people at
country clubs or something. Obviously, tennis is all over the
place now. It's a truly global sport. Yeah, go tennis,
I love it. Okay, So, but but Venus Williams, who
is one of the greatest female tennis players of all time, Uh,
Serena of course, I think is her sister Serena is

(01:21:55):
pretty much the undisputed all time greatest female tennis player.
So Venus was was playing aggressively, meaning going up to
net a lot and being very active. And this announcer
named Doug Adler, and this this also brings ESPN into
the situation. This announcer said that venus Is strategy was

(01:22:18):
like using a guerrilla effect. Now he meant guerrilla warfare effect,
like coming from all different angles at all different times,
throwing everything at somebody, you know, keeping it unexpected, keeping
them on their toes. He meant gorilla spelt g u
e r r i l l a, which means little war. Uh.

(01:22:45):
And it comes for those who are curious from the spent.
It became popularized during the Spanish Civil War. So that's
when you first had people talking about a garrilla war,
which was a war of it's really insurgency. It's another
it's it's it's a fancy Spanish term for insurgency operations. Uh.
So he said this, But but some listeners because the

(01:23:09):
words sounds very similar, if not the same in pronunciation,
thought of the word g o r i l l a.
So he apologized, but said that he didn't say anything
wrong or or racist because he was referring to ghetillo war.

(01:23:32):
But you've pronounced it. The americanization is guerilla. That's what
people say. I mean, there's maybe a slight terence fe
gorilla and guerilla, but you know, he he but he
was clearly this guy's an announcer, he's on TV. He's
obviously not saying g O R I L l A.
He's it is clearly not doing that. He's not trying

(01:23:52):
to throw away his livelihood, his reputation, the respect that
he has of his peers and everything for what I
should know it right, he knows. It's not like he
was caught on a hot mic. He is announcing the game,
and he just said, uh, guerilla effect, by the way,
in reference to the style of play, So he wasn't

(01:24:14):
referring to a person. He was referring to a style
of play. Well, there should be no surprise coming from
the Robert Lee sounds too much like the Civil War
Confederate guy. So Robert Lee, the Asian American sports announcer,
should maybe not announce the game in Virginia. ESPN gave
him the straight up boot and now this guy's got

(01:24:36):
a lawsuit going here, um where you have Doug Adler
saying that, look, he didn't do anything wrong, he's suing
for wrong, full termination. But this is one of these
instances where ESPN is just saying, well, it's the public.
It's public perception that matters. That we can't have a
broadcaster who is considered even if he's not actually racist

(01:25:01):
or wasn't intending to be racist, if he is considered
by some people as being racist or havn't been racist,
it's too damaging, so we fire him. You know, this
is in a sense, I think, rewarding, first of all,
corporate cowardice in the sense that ESPN's just so I

(01:25:25):
don't know who's calling the shots over there, but you
really feel like it's the it's the faculty lounge at
read College or something that's making the decisions at at ESPN.
Now that's up in Ore again for those are wondering,
very very progressive place. Uh. You know, people think it's
like the Wesleyan University Women's and Genders Studies professors are

(01:25:45):
running ESPN. I mean that that's what you start to
feel like because there's such a sensitivity here right, I
mean it is, it's out of it's out of control
of ESPN, the leftism. Uh so you look at the situation,
you say to yourself, Okay, what's a fair resolution into it. Yeah. Yes,
ESPN is claiming that it's just let the public decide.
I mean they're taking the the you know, the defense

(01:26:08):
of well whatever, whatever the perception is is what we
have to go with. But but it's just once again,
here you have somebody who's being sacrificed to the political
correctness gods. And it's just wrong. Man, It just shouldn't
happen this way. He clearly wasn't being racist, wasn't trying
to be racist, had no racist intent. And how you know,

(01:26:29):
it's just like with criminal law, if you have no
guilty mind, you are not guilty of the crime unless
you're reckless. This wasn't reckless. He didn't have a guilty mind.
And I just feel I feel bad for the guy.
By the way, Dixie is also getting banned as a word.
I'll tell you about that coming up. Stay with me.
Oh boy, here we are another name, another name about

(01:26:49):
to enter the uh the realm of you can't use
that name anymore. Buck Sexton back with you. Now, UH
Dixie d I X I E. You have a school
that has suspended the use of uh Dixie and it's
this is at a school called Lee High School. I

(01:27:10):
wonder for which Lee. The Lee High School band had
been playing Dixie until recently. Uh, they've gotten rid of
using Dixie. But I'm also seeing now that it's not
just the song Dixie, which became or was considered an
anthem of the of the Confederacy, but now even the
term Dixie is going to fall into a category of

(01:27:32):
you can't say that you can't use that, even though
Americans referred to Dixie as just like as an off
hand for the South, and it comes from although there's
some debate over the etymology here. I really feel like
part of the show is just me talking about the
origins of words, because I do find that fascinating. But
you get people that are forgetting that it comes from

(01:27:53):
the Mason Dixon line. That's why it's Dixie, that's where
the South is Dixie. And here we are and being
told that the Dixie song that's out because of the
lyrics and it's it's racist and okay, fine, but even
just the term now Dixie is about to become unacceptable

(01:28:14):
usage because of its connections to so so let's let's
just look at this. Dixie was an off hand reference
to the South, almost definitely based on the Mason Dixon line.
There's some other theories about how it was based on
a slaveholder last name d I X, also the French
note for ten. I mean, there's some but Mason Dixon

(01:28:37):
line is one that makes the most sense. And so.
But but Dixie as a concert as a term existed
before the song that became best associated or most associated
with it. The song was written in New York, by
the way, by Daniel Decatur Emmett Uh, and he was
writing a song that was being performed for his employer

(01:29:00):
that would be performed by his employer, Bryant's Minstrels, which
was doing racist stuff. I get that the performances were, uh,
we're racist, and and that's a part of the discussion
that should be had, right people should say, Okay, well
that's that, that's a way over the line what they

(01:29:20):
were doing. But the name Dixie existed before the guy
put it in the song. So Dixie was just a
reference to the South. This guy, Uh writes a song
that that becomes called Dixie as uh, you know it
gets I wish I was in Dixie's Land, and you
know Daniel Emmett. I mean, it becomes this very popular song,

(01:29:41):
and now we're being told that that's also on the
list now, so nothing. I wonder what happens to Dixie cups,
a little plastic a little paper plastic cups that we
all do. You've if you've been to a doctor's office
in the last thirty years, you've probably at some point
or other been exposed to Dixie Cups. So I don't know,

(01:30:03):
do they have to now change their name? Um? I
just wonder. I wonder where this will stop, because it is,
in fact a yeah, it's a major brand name for
a product. Are they going to have to change their name?
So getting rid of the song? Fine, I understand people
are offended by the lyrics, although a lot of Southerners

(01:30:25):
I know say that you know that you can change
the lyrics, but you shouldn't get rid of the tune.
And I just I'm a Northerner. I'm not about to
get into all the intricacies of what from the Confederacy
we can still talk about or have as a part
of culture in a way that's not condemned and what
needs to just be blanket condemned. Uh. And I do
have now all these recommendations from many of you to

(01:30:47):
read Shelby Foote's books on the Civil War, so at
least I've got some some light winter reading coming up,
because that's how long it'll probably take for me to
get there. But I just see yet another name, yet
another term that we are um not going to be
able to use without possibly drawing the ire of social

(01:31:08):
justice warriors. And in this case, I just think it's
it's unfair for a term to exist for and not
be a racial term, for someone to put it in
a song, and then for it to be used for
a long time in off hand to refer to an
area people just refer to the South as Dixie, and
it comes to the Mason Dixon line. But now we're

(01:31:28):
being told that because of its association with the song Dixie,
which was which was a racially charged racist song, Uh,
that that you can't the song can't be played anywhere,
the lyrics certainly can't be said anywhere. But even the
name itself now is coming under coming under scrutiny, you

(01:31:49):
know more there'll be more of this, by the way,
more of us. I wonder if you'll see I think
you will see a drop in some places, at least
in the country, in the usage of the name Lee,
which is very probably leaves, one of the few names
I know that both men and women have in this country.
I know, I know leaves who are guys. I know
these who are girls. I think you might see that

(01:32:09):
begin to fall off a little bit. But anyway, Dixie's
all Dixie. Now, Dixie cups. This is on the list.
It's on the list. We'll hit a break here, come back.
I'll talk to you about prayer in public schools. Now
you can't even bow your head silently, take a knee,
anything that could be construed as prayer. The Ninth Circuit

(01:32:29):
Court of Appeals has has a thing to say about it,
and let me tell you it's not not good. They
are not pro religious freedom. They seem to believe very
strongly in statism and atheism always in at all times.
Buck Sexton, back with you now, team, welcome to the
America where progressives win. You have a court ruling. This

(01:32:53):
is the Ninth Circuit. Everyone calls it now the Ninth
Circus because if their insane rulings on President Rum's uh
temporary security and vetting enhancement restriction on travel as I
call it, also known as the travel ban. Um. But
you have that same Ninth Circuit now, well, here's the

(01:33:15):
reporting from Fox News. A Washington State high school football
coach was punished for taking a knee at the fifty
yard line for postgame prayer, which violated the US Constitution.
According to the US Ninth Circuit of Appeals, three judge
panel ruled the Bremerton School District was justified in suspending

(01:33:37):
coach Kennedy after he took a knee and prayed silently
at midfield after football games. Uh. When this is a
quote from the Ninth Circuit. When Kennedy kneeled and prayed
on the fifty yard line immediately after games while in
view of students and parents, he spoke as a public employee,
not as a private citizen, and his speech was constitution

(01:34:00):
only therefore unprotected. Okay, so he was ordered hold on. Kennedy,
who was served as a who served as as an
assistant coach, was ordered to refrain from bowing his head,
taking a knee, or doing anything that could be perceived
as praying on public school property. Ah, so he would

(01:34:25):
take a knee, just so you know, he would take
a knee. This coach, coach Kennedy bows head, thank God
for a good game. This was just a matter of seconds,
and then go about his business. And they said, no,
you can't do that. This idea that first of all, uh,
somebody is now responsible for triggering the anti religious bigotry

(01:34:48):
of somebody else. Right, I'm triggered. Oh gosh, somebody believes
in God somewhere. What am I gonna do? Uh? This
notion that you now have to be on guard for
committing the offense of having somebody else think you are praying. Remember,
how do you prove this? Because it's not just even
the public pronouncements of a prayer that are an issue here.

(01:35:08):
It's taking a knee, it's bowing his head, anything that
quote could be perceived as praying on public school property,
anything that could be perceived as praying. This is appalling
and it should be noted that now we live in
a society where, you know, if you take a knee

(01:35:29):
because you want to make some sort of statement during
the pledge of allegiance, because you want to denigrate America,
or you want to make a point about racism and
bigotry in America, so so you disrespect our flag and
those who have fought under and for that flag. Now

(01:35:50):
for generations, for centuries. That is entitled to the A. C.
L U. First Amendment treatment across the board. But if
you take a knee because you want to prayer for
if you want to pray for a minute, now that's
a problem. I just wonder at what point we wake
up from this and we start to realize that there

(01:36:14):
is a status hostility that has overtaken for quite a
long time now the federal government and and the bureaucracy
towards now people say book, what about you know, what
about President Bush and all these different Republicans. No, no,
I mean the permanent bureaucracy. Um. These are people who
have been raised and trained and brainwashed into the echo chamber.

(01:36:40):
Thinking of anything having to do with religion that is
anywhere near the public sphere is a problem. And it's
hard for people, I think, who are who are believing Christians?
So not just not nominally I go to you know,
I go to church on Christmas because I like the

(01:37:02):
carols and other than that I have no interest in
any of this Christian stuff, and I mean people who
actually believe, who care about the teachings of of Jesus,
and who are familiar with and and have an active
engagement with their religion and their belief in God. Uh.
Those who are Christians see that there is and have
for a long time seeing that there's this double standard

(01:37:25):
about how the government treats uh, not just religious speech,
but also Christian speech versus what is allowed and acceptable
when you're talking about the way that people of the
Islamic faith are treated by government and all the sensitivities
that we will go through. Oh, you know, it should
be noted that you know, in Guantanamo Bay, for terrorists

(01:37:48):
that we had in captivity, we were handing them books
where we would have our guys, our soldiers wearing gloves
because we didn't want to, uh, we didn't want to
offend the sensibilities of the Muslim prisoners. There's all these
issues now about whether Nidal Hassan was able to have
a beard, and you know, the government will in general

(01:38:10):
bend over backwards for Muslim sensibilities, and the media will
make all kinds of excuses for why let's just set
this up right, Hey, job anywhere even if it's a
full face covering and you're working at an Abercrombie and Fitch,
and or it's a full head covering at an Abercrombie
and Fitch that violates their dress code, and you got
the media on your side and the a c l

(01:38:31):
U saying, hey, this is anti Islamic bigotry. So you
can be at a private employer where they have just
a uniform dress code and you can violate it if
you're a Muslim. But if you want to be a
public school teacher, a public school coach and just take
a knee and say a quick prayer to yourself, you
can lose your job. You can be fired. So I

(01:38:54):
just wonder where the outer limits of this are, because
this is important. Whenever you're talking about what the progressives
are up to these days, you've got to go to
the extremes, because they're only the extremes right now. It's
where they're heading next. They are unmoored by any principles,
they are untethered to rationality. They'll find some way in

(01:39:16):
time to explain why the next step, as crazy as
it may sound. Now, the next step must in fact
be taken whatever that, whatever that may be. So I
I just look at this and and have such a
a sense of of frustration. Now the Ninth Circuit is
famous for being overturned as ninth Quarter of Appeals. We

(01:39:39):
will see where this goes. But if this is allowed
to stand, and what's next is you know, as somebody
who's a a teacher can't wear across to school, I mean,
they're just we're gonna go with a full all out
secularization of not just the public schools, because that's already happened,
They've already accomplished that. But anybody who say it's foot

(01:40:00):
in a public school, it will become an atheist indoctrination
center without even private expressions of open religious belief. Um.
And this is this is gonna lead to all and
trust me, the fights on this are coming, and it'll
be interesting because at least we have a president now,

(01:40:22):
I mean President Obama. As much as he spoke about
being a man of faith, I've always I've always believed
he was an atheist. People would say he's a Muslim,
that's not that's not true. But I do believe he
was an atheist and espouse Catholic or not Catholic, sorry,
Christian positions because that was politically what was necessary. But
with Trump, I don't even care what he believes because

(01:40:43):
he's going to support I think the Christian position. Here,
welcome back team. I know we're getting ready here to
head off for the weekend. Or if you're listening perhaps
on a delay or on podcast, then then it is
the weekend for you. Everybody's working for the weekend. And uh,
I'm not gonna sing anymore on the show, but I thought,

(01:41:04):
you know, spice it up buckets a Friday. So here
we are. I put in my application to Social Tease,
which is the name of the group here in New
York that takes no kill shelter for dogs that finds
them forever homes. So um ms, Molly and I were
sitting on the couch and it was funny. We we
were trying to go through which dogs because you can

(01:41:26):
request the dog that you would want to foster. And
I mean there were some adorable, adorable little dudes in there.
There was one name Lulu, one named Mac, one named Sandro.
You know, I'm just there were there were great, really cute,
mangy looking little pups. And I. I was all excited
about it. And I said, okay, well, Molly, we need

(01:41:46):
to give names of a few of them in as
possible foster options for us. And I said I would
take them upwards of six weeks if they need me to.
And I said, okay, well, here's my list, and now
you can come with the list, and then we'll see
which ones that we agree on and and and of
course their dogs. Right, I would take any of them,
but if you're gonna, if they're gonna ask you to pick.

(01:42:09):
I figured this would be kind of fun. And Molly
just couldn't do it. She just wouldn't. She's like, I
want all of them, and I said, come on, there's
gotta be a few. She goes, this one's so cute,
This one's so cute. This was so you know, she
wasn't much help in that regard, because she loved all
of them equally. She would not choose among the abandoned
dogs and the shelter that we were going to take in.

(01:42:30):
Um but I'll let you know how that goes going forward.
And the only thing I did say was that there's
a sixty pound weight limit in my building for dogs.
And I saw I can't remember where it was. Yesterday,
there was a news story that went out on on
Twitter about whether pit bulls are too dangerous to own.

(01:42:51):
Some news site put that out. There wasn't a big site.
I forget which one it was, but I remember writing
about this years ago at The Blaze. Because there are
these f it's that some municipalities, some buildings, some you know, towns,
or condo associations undertake two to ban. Usually it's pit bulls.
There are a few other dogs that sometimes fall into

(01:43:13):
that category of getting banned. People get scared by Doverman's,
even though I've known some Doban's that were really sweet.
They can look scary though, and I think that's enough
for some people. German shepherds. I know a lot of
you listening probably have German shepherds. They scare people too,
so sometimes they're band But the number one dog to
get oh in chow chows. Chow Chows are biters. From

(01:43:37):
what I understand, I've never known a chow chow, but
if you read up on them, and because they look
like these fluffy they look kind of like a giant
Pekinese or something. I mean, these big fluffy dogs. But
they're they're biters for whatever reason. And then there are
some other rarer breeds that you'll see that will get
banned from places based on on the breed. Uh. There's

(01:43:57):
a Japanese fighting dog. I can't even remember what it's
called that I know people will say, you can't have
this kind of dog and uh which and they look
similar mostly to to pitch. Some of them look a
little bit like sort of a husky pit mix, but
I think it's a oh and I'm always reminded also
of for me, the most formidable dog that I've ever seen,

(01:44:19):
and I've never seen one in person. I think I
saw one in d C on the street once, but
I wasn't sure. Is called a present Canario, which if
you've never if you're a dog person, if you've never
looked at a present Canario before, they're pretty amazing. It's
really it looks like a cross. They look like a
cross between a mastiff and a pit bull. And it's

(01:44:41):
one of these fascinating little back stories that I came
across because I like to just do my own little
deep dives of history research or etymology research into things.
So the present Canario is uh. And that is also,
I should not a dog breed that is banned in
some places by name the president canar you comes from
the Canary Islands. I had always thought that the Canary

(01:45:06):
Islands were named for the birds, the canaries, but in
fact it is from Roman times, from ancient Roman times,
that the Canary Islands were called the Insularees Canary Island
of the Canines. And it's because they had they were
known for having these very large, very powerful dogs, and

(01:45:29):
so it's from the dogs that you had the Canary Islands,
and then later on based on and that was based
on the Latin, and then later on you had the
birds that were the colorful birds that came from that
island or that were renowned from that island became known
as canaries. So that was something that I came across
I was thought was interesting. But on on pit bulls.

(01:45:51):
You know, Molly's family dog is half pit bull, and
so she is she loves and it is a sweet dog.
I've spent time with the dog. She is so pro
pit bowl and she really I think if she had
her way, she would have us if we got a
full time if we decided to go all in and
adopt not just Foster. I think she would want to
get a pit bull or a pit bull mix. And

(01:46:13):
I am okay with the idea insofar as I know
pits can be great, great companions and great dogs, and
they get a bad raple out of the time. But
in New York, in a lot of places here in Manhattan,
they actually ban you from owning them, which now has
spurred on many conversations. And this is what made me

(01:46:35):
think of it. Even in this piece yesterday, I saw
our pit bulls too dangerous to own. Look there there
to be fair. I think it's not so much a
temperament issue as it's just a a jaw power issue.
Or if your pet Pekinese gets upset, you know, if
you're Papillon, or if you're King Charles Spaniel has a

(01:46:58):
bad day, you know, maybe maybe you have a finger
that's bleeding, or you know, you have an ankle that
gets a little chewed up. If if a pit goes bad,
you have a life threatening situation on you. Even if
it's a misunderstanding, or you know, a person enters your
home the pit doesn't know. I mean, it's just the
margin for error is smaller. But I know people are

(01:47:20):
fierce on this issue. They love their pities and they
do not like it when anybody says anything bad about them.
I will say that my I have a friend here
in New York City, one of my oldest friends actually,
who is a dog trainer, really a true dog whisper.
I mean, she works with problem animals. She's told me
hilarious stories about a little Maltese that, for whatever reason,

(01:47:42):
was biting everybody who wasn't the owner. And she had
to work with this little Maltese which is a tiny
little white like no no, no, no, like little white
fruit fruit dog. Uh. And she said that it was
you know, you'd you'd walk in and people woul assume, oh,
it's a little Maltese and they go to petit. Her
it would run over and grab them and you know,
hook to their ankle or their shoe where there, you know,
and wouldn't let go. It was crazy aggressive. She trains dogs,

(01:48:05):
she deals with problem dogs, and has told me that
under the right circumstances, pits can be great family pets.
So it's it's a really interesting debate that I see
among people, because you've got dog lovers on both sides
of it. But some people are really anti pit and
other people are so pro pit and it's I think
that's that you know, you don't get the same thing

(01:48:26):
with German shepherds. I feel like everyone you hear people
say yeah, it's a big, powerful dog, um, but everyone
agrees that a German shepherd that's well raised and well
treated isn't a problem. People think that pits are just
they're almost like weaponized canines, you know, they're just inherently dangerous,
and and they do get banned from places. I think
some cities have even banned them from ownership, and other

(01:48:47):
places want to regulate it almost like a gun, where
you'd have to get permission and go through training courses.
And meanwhile, I mean, I know that the biggest problem
I have when I visit Molly's parents is her pit
bull tries to actually physically hug me and won't stop
licking my face. So that's my experience with the only
pit bull in my life, right. But uh, that'll be

(01:49:09):
an interesting discussion with Molly because she thinks that I
want dogs that mirror my preferred lifestyle, so chubby dogs
that are slow moving and want people to scratch their
bellies and feed them things that are bacon flavored, because
that's kind of the life that I aspire to um
and and this is a discussion that I think what
will be ongoing, but I will update you uh as

(01:49:32):
as I find out. Now it'll be I'll be probably
quiet on the dog front for a few days, but
as I find out what the situation is with uh
the fostering, I'm hoping to have some great stories for you,
and I think it'll be a really fun experience. And
I miss having a dog in the house. Although I'm
going to see Telula this weekend of visiting my parents
this weekend, and they're white. They're beautiful white French bulldog

(01:49:53):
to Lula at least very very bad foot but she
and those eats, so it makes sure of defficult. Do
you know you want to go petter? And she's like, no,
have nothing pet And you go, hey to lou do
you want to treat? She goes, oh, you give me
tweets When I want to tweet, I don't just come
over when you say it is treat time. I tell
you when it is a time fools the twreet. You know,

(01:50:14):
she's very it's very uputty. I don't know, she's a
French bullock. She's very French. I don't what else to say. Um, look,
I'll have a great weekend. We're gonna have, as always,
so much to talk about next week. M best part
of my day every day during the week is going
to hang out with you. Please do share the show
with a friend, tell them about it. They can listen
on the I heart app. You know about the iTunes
download of the podcast, and of course box Saxon dot com.

(01:50:36):
You're one stop shop for all things freedom hunt. So um,
you're under orders to have a great, relaxing and fun
filled weekend if you can, and until Monday, my friends,
Shields High
