Speaker 1 (00:10):
You are entering the freedom hunt. Ran says, we will
pay for the strike on Kasum Solomani. Meanwhile, the media
is weeping many tears over the death of this terrorist.
We'll also talk about the ways that Democrats are trying
to constrain President Trump's power as commander in chief. That
and more coming up on the Buck Sexon Show. This

(00:32):
is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission
is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make
no mistake American, Great, Great American Again the Buck Sexton
Show begins. No, you don't see anyone standing up for

(00:55):
I Ran. You're not hearing any of the golf members.
You're not hearing China, You're not hearing Russia. The only
ones that are mourning the loss of Solomoney or our
Democrat leaderships and our Democrat presidential candidates, no one else
in the world, because they knew that this man had
evil veins, they knew what he was capable of, and

(01:16):
they saw the destruction and the lives lost base from
his hands. Nikki Haley is totally spot on here. Welcome
to Buck Saxon Show. Everybody. I am somewhat a gas
I mean I always expect it from these democrats, so
I can't say that it's a surprise. But just because
you know it's coming from these leftist socialist loons, it

(01:40):
doesn't mean that it's any less jarring when you have
to see it. They're trying to find all these ways
to do a couple of things here, I mean, and
I want to walk you through the propaganda mill, and
I want to show you the machinery of what it
is that they're trying to accomplish with all this as
much as I can today. And one of the things

(02:04):
they're doing is making it seem as though the Iranian
people are all absolutely horrified at this united against the regime,
and that this was the killing of The killing of
Costam Solomani was like we killed Abraham Lincoln, George Washington,
and Elvis Presley all at the same time. That's how

(02:27):
much they love this guy. That's how much the Iranian
people love Kastam Solimani. Do any of them stop to
think for a moment about what just happened in Iran
In the last six weeks or so, the Iranian regime
killed hundreds, perhaps a few thousand, murdered protesters in the

(02:50):
streets and for all the protesters murdered in the streets,
who are overwhelming the young people who hate this corrupt
sclow adic regime. For all of those people, there are
also those who are being extra judicially, which is kind
of in Iran. I mean, it's all extraally. It might

(03:10):
as well be extra judicial everything. But who are being
covertly taken from their families, homes and perhaps in the
middle of the night, tortured and maybe never seen again.
Because there are opponents of the regime that is happening
in Iran, you see, because the media was so desperate

(03:31):
to prop up the Obama administration's decision disastrous decision on Iran,
and because the media hates Trump so much, they are
willing to elevate the Iranian regime far out of the
axis of evil. Remember we used to call it a
member of that Iraq, Iran, North Korea. Only two left

(03:56):
in that axis, at least as they used to be constituted.
And it's worth sitting here and asking the question, well,
hold on a second, hold on a minute, would it
be normal in the eyes of the Democrats if let's
just say, hostilities became active with North Korea in some

(04:16):
third Party countries not in South Korea. And let's say
there's there's some North Korean backed insurgency in some country,
and a North Korean general was involved in the murder
of American soldiers trying to engage in peacekeeping operations stability
operations in that country, and that North Korean general was

(04:36):
then actively plotting another round of murder of American soldiers
in this country that North Korea is operating in, and
we took him out, would they then be saying, oh
my gosh, But the people of North Korea, they're all
weeping and staring into the cameras and crying. They're so
upset about this. It is so hard now for me

(05:00):
to separate out how much of what we are seeing
from our own media. This is their job, supposed to
be their calling, to bring us the truth, tell us
what's really happening in these places, that's what they're supposed
to do instead. I don't know if they are just
wildly dishonest hacks, if they're primarily driven by that, they're

(05:22):
propagandists entirely the Democrats they know what they're doing, or
and I don't know if this is more upsetting or
more concerning if they're deeply, deeply stupid people. It could
be either one, it could be both. It's most likely
a combination thereof for exhibit A today, and there could

(05:45):
be so many. I bring you Michael McFall now, those
of you who follow me on Twitter, no that I
don't hold back on Twitter, but I also I try
never to be personal about things that aren't an issue
of public concern, right. I never I don't make fun
of anyone, you know, I never make fun of anyone's appearance.

(06:07):
I don't. I don't make jokes about you know, their
family members or anything. I mean, I I keep it
as on the subject matter as I can, and I
try not to ever act like a jerk on Twitter,
even though it's a great way to get attention. A
lot of conservatives actually do that. Michael McFall is someone
who is celebrated and still giving a tremendous amount of
credibility on the left. Oh, Rachel Matta will have him

(06:30):
on to talk Russia, Russia, Russia, you know, all these
different people, and he was really the architect of Obama's
Russia policy for a few years and is known as
a as a you know, a critic of Putin and
guys like Stanford, Stanford, Stanford, Oxford, Stanford. You know, a
stack of fancy degrees. I couldn't even fit them on
top of this desk. And also at some point I

(06:51):
have to wonder, you know, these people that spend so
much time in academia, how many years, how many years
just studying and not doing do you have to do?
You're not You're not a neurosurgeon here, you know. Maybe anyway,
you know, lots and lots of books and PhD research
and books and okay, and that can be great, maybe
because the ideas that you're supposed to achieve all that wisdom,

(07:13):
this is what our elites in the academia and journalism, journalism,
of course, I mean, come on, no one thinks journalists
are smart, but they like you to think that if
they have a certain kind of resume. Even though forget
about the fact that Trump went to Wharton, arguably the
best business school in the world, certainly the top three.
That George Bush went to Harvard Business School, arguably the best.
You know, those guys don't count. But the degrees and

(07:36):
the and the fancy titles that liberals have, you're supposed
to show deference. Ben Venee. Okay, McFall tweeted out last night,
and this just this just ticked me off. This is
the former and US ambassador to Russia who is treated
as a real foreign policy wise elder on the left. Okay,

(07:57):
he's treated as somebody who's this is he is the
diplomatic establishment, if you will, He tweeted out, I do
not support many of Trump's policies, but if Iran killed
General Millie or Vice President Pence and then threatened to
destroy the Statue of Liberty or the Lincoln Memorial, I
would march passionately with Trump's supporters to denounce the Islamic

(08:18):
Republic of Iran. There's so much stupid in here that
I could spend the entire hour trying to just unpack
it is he he can't be serious. Vice President Pence
is Vice President Pence a uniformed military operating in a

(08:38):
theater of hostilities, designated as a terrorist, involved in covert
arming and training of globally designated terrorist organizations, and then
directing personally the maiming and murdering of US servicemen that
he is not at war with. By the way, Iran

(08:58):
has not declared war on United States, has been waging
war against US for decades now, it's just been a
one way war. You see, here's the genius of Trump.
I'm gonna I'm gonna just put this out there for everybody.
Trump doesn't like one way wars. He doesn't like the
one way trade war with China. He's like, I think

(09:19):
enough of this. I think we've suffered enough. I think
we as the good guys just allowing them to get
away with all this. We've had enough of that. So
he does something about it. And Trump comes in without
all the stack of fancy Stanford International Relations degrees and says,
hold on a second. We've been doing what we've been
doing in Iran for decades, really sanctions, angry diplomacy, sanctions,

(09:46):
but we always are a little hands off. Oh we don't.
We don't want to, We don't want to provoke the Iranians. Meanwhile,
the Iranians are provoking us day in and day out.
Finger in the eye. What are you gonna do about it, America?
And let's be serious, what have we really done about it? Well,
under the Obama administration, as though we were like an
Uber eats delivery service for cash, we showed up and

(10:08):
said here's here's billions and billions of dollars. And you
could keep your nuclear program, but we need to be
able to see what you got so far. You don't
have to dismantle. Let destroy it and prove that you
keep it the way it is, and then we'll let
you get rich, keep your terrorism going, keep your conventional
ballistic missile program going, do whatever you gotta do on
that stuff. Okay, fine, one way war with China on trade.

(10:29):
Trump says, no one way war with Iran throughout the
Middle East. Trump says, I don't think so. But instead
we have people like or on the other hand, we
have people like Michael McFall who are telling us that
you know, he's effectively taking the Iranian side of this argument.

(10:51):
This is, my friends, this is crazy. I mean, how
far removed is this really from saying, well, killing Abu
Bakhar al Baghdati, that's really going to destabilize the region,
because at least then there was somebody that the Syrians
and the Turks could talk to as the leader of ISIS.
And I mean, okay, you could say, buck, the Democrats

(11:11):
wouldn't do that. Really, really you're sure about that? I mean,
how far removed is this. Kasam Solamani is different in
that he is a known and named and uniformed service
member of a military that is part of the access

(11:32):
of evil and a the biggest state sponsor of terror
in the world. So that gives him a cloak of invincibility.
We're not. We're not, well, obviously not, but we were
supposed to accept that. I've got to tell you, there
are there are a few times when I just become

(11:56):
I just have to wonder how these people can look
in the mirror sometimes. You know, you have journalists from
the most the most storied. I mean, these these pampered, overpaid,
pompous journalists at you know, CNN and ABC in these places,
and they're all look at the size of the of
the processions in the morning, and the oh my, the

(12:18):
Iranian people are also, how many of you have seen,
for example, reports from those same I mean, Martha Raddats
was over there. I was saying, you know, look at
the size of these protests. The Iranian people are all
united against us. Now, really, if you're Iranian, and you
know because you're one of you're part of that youth
bulge that I talked to you about yesterday. Because of

(12:39):
all the people that died because of the war that
did not need to be fought between Iraq and Iran,
the vicious stupidity of the Mulas in that war. Okay,
But if you happen to be a person who is
just mourning the loss of a family member, if you
happen to be a person who lost your father, your brother,

(13:03):
your sister, your mother in these protests, are you now
all of a sudden switching things around saying whoa hold
on a second, Yes, the regime is a totalitarian theocracy,
but they killed customs, sole money, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln,
and Elvis compared to compiled into one. I don't think so.

(13:25):
No critical questions being asked by the press here, no
honest attempt to get to hold on a moment. Are
Iranian school children being told that they have to show
up in protest? They're emptying out the school's kind of
like what democrats do here, of course, you know, climate change,
emptying out the school sending people on the streets, grabbing

(13:48):
people on the street, come join the protest or else.
Here's what you have to see from the reality of
the way our own press is treating this issue. They
are credulously covering Iranian state propaganda, which is what this is.

(14:09):
Protests that are done under threat of force are not
an expression of the will of the people. But they're
credulously covering this. Oh, we're just showing you man. We're
not you know, we're just showing you the facts here
and are in fact, willfully complicit in the propaganda of
a terrorist regime. This is our own press. They get

(14:30):
so huffy when Trump says that they are the enemies
of the people. I've been calling them the enemies of
truth for a long time because they are. How could
they How could they justify this? How can they not
start every report with these are very large protests. We
do have substantial reporting, firsthand reporting from people who are

(14:54):
telling us that these much of these protests are forced.
And then even beyond that, for a second, why are
we supposed what exactly are they trying to achieve with this?
Why should we care how large the size of the protests? Sir,
I got news for you. If we took out Kim
Jong un tomorrow, and you have to make this North Korea,
by the way, North Korea run buddy, buddy, work together

(15:16):
on a whole lot of stuff. If if Kim Jong
un was taken out tomorrow, do you think that there
would be journalists all all upset covering and look at
the protests, Look at the people in this country. They're
so upset about the laws of Kim. And by the way,
there would be a lot of people who are upset
about it because they've been brainwashed. You have to ask

(15:38):
the question, whose side are these liberal, multi millionaire empty
suits in our media. Whose side are they on? What
exactly are they trying to convey with all of this.
We don't need them to stand there, you know, faces,
you know, ashen faced, all sad. Oh my gosh, look
at these protests. What's going to happen to now? They're

(16:02):
chanting death to America. Guess what Eugenius is. They've been
chanting death to America since before I was born, literally,
but not now. We're all supposed to be so scared
about this. Now we're all supposed to worry. Here's what
I'm scared about. What we see here is yet another

(16:23):
instance of our own press putting their anti Trump ferocity
ahead of the honest presentation of facts in their job,
and also doing things in such a way that you
do have to wonder. You do have to sort of
question some of their ideological loyalty. Do they think that

(16:46):
it is an Iranian general, is someone who works for
the Iranian regime in military uniform, engage in the activities
that Constam Solimani was really similar to General Millie is
really similar to our Chamber of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff or all these ridiculous comparisons you're hearing all the time.
So we're no better than the Iranians? Is that really

(17:07):
what the journalists were? No better than the Iranian regime?
That's what they think. You have to wonder. The answer
is yes, but it's particularly yes to the journals because
Trump is our president and so therefore this Trump regime
is every bit as terrifying and scary, and really more

(17:28):
so to them than anything the Mullus could ever. Do
we need a new media, folks, We need to tear
down their journalistic establishment as it exists right now and
build something new. If it wasn't clear before, it's certainly
clear now. But I think it's been clear for a
long time. You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the

(17:49):
Buck Sex and Show podcast. In just about every foreign
policy area of President Trump touches. We're worse so often
we were before he started with it. Looking at the
president's chaotic and rudderless foreign policy in hotspots around the globe,
it's hard to conclude that any of the situations are

(18:11):
better off than when the president took office three years ago.
His policy seemed to be characterized by erratic, impulsive, and
often egotistical behavior with little regard to a long term
strategy that would advance the interests of the United States.
It's Chuck Schumer talking about the Obama administration there, because
he should be. Let's get in the specifics here of

(18:34):
what Trump has done on the world stage so far.
Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember
to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
you get your podcasts. All Right, I can't just let
this go. Democrats are out there pretending that Trump is
so bad on foreign policy. I notice how finn they

(18:59):
are on any supporting details. This should be easy to do.
I mean, if I were to point to, for example,
the Obama administration started twenty I'm sorry, started two thousand
and eight and end in twenty sixteen, and show them
it point to a country in the world that matters

(19:19):
to our geopolitical standing, international relations, trade, national security. You
name it, Point to an important country, not some like
you know, little country no one cares about. I'm sure
you know Obama's you know, diplomat did great work in
the in Micronesia or something. Who cares, but an important country.
By the Micronesia was in fact part of the Coalition

(19:42):
of the Willing back in the day. I'll never forget that.
It was not the Bush administration's finest moment. I think
they sent one guy, actually one guy. But the Obama administration,
whether it was Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, China
worse in every singlecase, every single instance, we were And
now you have to also look at it based on

(20:04):
our position visa v. Those countries. I'm not just saying
that the country was worse. I don't know, I care
about our interests. It was worse. But Chuck Schumer, you're
saying that everything Trump does on foreign policy is wrong.
Really has he been wrong on China? Because our economy
is booming in China has had the worst economy it's
had in thirty years. I mean, it hasn't yet gotten

(20:29):
the grand bargain that Trump was hoping for on trade.
But they have gotten the beginnings of a phase one
trade deal, it seems, and at least they're doing something.
We're not just suffering in silence. One way trade war,
Trump says, no, no, now it's going to be a
two way trade war. And with the Iranians. People keep
assuming because they want to believe this, I mean, this

(20:49):
is the problem, because they want to believe everything Trump
does is terrible. Seemingly intelligent people all of a sudden
become utter morons because they insist their brain has been
condition to think that. Because Trump, who yeah, is blustery,
and you know it is a little loose with the
words sometimes, I mean, yeah, I get it, But I

(21:09):
look at what he does. I look at the essential
characteristics of how he uses the power of his office,
the decisions, the core decisions, the critical decisions he's been making.
I keep saying, I mean, this guy's certainly the best
president since Reagan, and he's making gains on Reagan's like
I mean, Reagan did, let's not forget to defeat the

(21:34):
evil empire of the Soviet Union. But I mean trade Trump,
give him four more years we'll see. I mean the
first I didn't even come into office thinking he was
going to be as adept and have the kind of
results that he's had so far. It's not perfect. The border,
the wall, there are things that happened, But does anyone
really think that perfect is going to be the way
that we would judge this. But going back to Chuck

(21:55):
Schumer's statement, I just find it. I find it stunning
that they are so willing to make total fools of
themselves here in their anti Trump zelotry. Oh wait, speaking
of making a complete fool of oneself, Bernie Sanders on

(22:17):
oh guess what on CNN, which is the worst and
most dishonest of the propaganda networks, now on US Soil,
CNN had on Anderson Cooper Show, the very serious show.
You know that that's the real journalism. Stuff happened there.
Here's what Bernie Sanders said about the Trump decision. This

(22:39):
is this You gotta hear this one. This is amazing
play forty four. But this guy is you know, was
as bad as he was an official of the Iranian government,
and you unleash then if China does that, you know,
if Russia does that, you know, Russia has been implicated
on the Putin with assassinating dissonance. So once you're in
the business of the Sassa nation, you unleash some very

(23:02):
very terrible forces. A couple of things here a truly
idiotic comment from the number two guy in the polls
for the Democrats. Right now, you're gonna make him commander
in chief. What he says is absurd, he goes, He goes, Okay,
So the guy was a uniformed Iranian so what so

(23:25):
what does that mean that we could he show could
he partake in an assassination plot on a US official
in Iraq himself? But oh no, we can't touch him. Guys,
uniformed Irani in general, where's the line? What? At what point?
And this is what you have to ask you ask liberals.
I mean, I know you guys already know this. At

(23:45):
what point for the Libs would would cost him? Solimani
be a legitimate target? Didn't him inside Iranian borders, not
on his own soil, not in international territory, not at war,
He's in a conflict zone, engage an active hostilities against
the United States and its interests. Administration says there was
an imminent threat to US personnel that he's directing. At

(24:07):
what point are we allowed to hit this guy? Never?
That's amazing? Do we do you think that we have that?
Do they do the Iranians, as any country in the world,
would they allow somebody to be effectively the CIA director
and a four star general at the same time and
show up in a war zone and be engaged in

(24:28):
active hostilities against another country and they be like, whoa
hold on? A second American uniformed American uniform soldier. The
Iranian regime wanted to kill the Saudi ambassador in DC
at a fancy Italian restaurant that I actually happen to
like in Georgetown, but the always wears a uniform of

(24:52):
the Iranian regime. I mean, I'm just wondering, you know,
if if back in the day, you know, one of know,
if if Himmler ran out of the bunker with Hitler
we've been I'm like, oh, this guy, this guy's a
major player in the Nazi regime. We can you know,
can't hit him with a bomb. We should have tried
to bomb, and we tried to take them out as

(25:12):
fast as we could. So I'm just trying to establish
what exactly are the lines supposed to be, And why
doesn't the media seem curious at all about what's really
happened here, what the reality of the threat is. They
just assume that Trump and the administration's line. They've already
been saying this all administration stories, not straight, all the

(25:33):
administration stories. They have so much more willingness to show
opposition to their own government and think that they're being
tough and being strong and being honest. That's what the
journos do here. Really, they're just pandering to the left
wing Trump haters in this country, who are just a
bunch of morons at this point. I mean, you know,
you can criticize Trump, but you can think that Trump
does bad things, and he certainly is worthy of criticism

(25:54):
in a lot of ways. But the people that have
just embraced TDS Trump arrangement syndrome, can't even talk to
them anymore. It's not even worth it everything Trump does.
I had just I talked to a very you know,
close friend and advisor recently. He said that he had
lunch with a friend who was talking about how how
terrible the Trump economy is, and you just want to
want to throw your hands up in the air. And
be like the biggest problem in the economy right now

(26:14):
for anybody who understands anything in this country is is
it sustainable? Can these good times last? By the way,
It's probably not sustainable because of our dad. It's another conversation.
But no serious person's walking around saying, oh, Trump economy
is who? This is a tough one. Nobody thinks that. Okay,
no honest person thinks that. A lot of Trump deranged

(26:36):
loons do. And yet here we are. Bernie Sanders brings
up on CNN's answer Cooper go, hold on a second,
you know, Senator Sanders, that was really that was a
little bit and and dig into this little more too.
What does killing it? What does Russia killing dissidents have

(26:58):
to do with this situation? Kasam Solimani is not a
US citizen saying mean things about President Trump? How did
he even make that comparison? Bernie Sanders isn't is a
third tier intellect, my friends. This is what everyone needs
to remember. This is not a very smart guy. He's
been saying the same wrong, stupid stuff for over forty years.

(27:18):
Never figured it out that never seemed to understand that
the stuff he believes is bad and wrong. He's an
old guy, not a lot of wisdom. But do you
think if China and Russia thought that they had imminent
danger to their own military or perhaps their own diplomats,

(27:39):
or who knows what the target set was from a
person who had orchestrated the killing of hundreds of their
soldiers in a place where they weren't you think the
Chinese the Russians would hesitate for a second to take
that person out. The only way they might hesitate would
be if it was a country that was considerably more
powerful than them, and by the the only place where

(28:00):
that would be the case would be US or each other,
maybe China and Russia. They would they would do it
in a second. You think they wouldn't take out in
a running You think that Shiji and things like whoa,
and they're going to kill a few hundred Chinese in
a strike. But you know, cats, some soleimani wears a
uniform so we can't hit him. He's absurd. But this

(28:21):
is the this is what you're getting from the so
called smarts that we're getting from the diplomats out there
from the Obama administration. You know, there, Michael mcfasso that
I blocked me because I said I called I didn't
call him a name. I hear, what did I this
just just to close the loop on this one, to
use a DC phrase, um, I said to the guy.

(28:42):
He so he said his thing about, you know, the
dumb thing about how he doesn't support Trump but he
would march with him if if the Iranians killed General
I mean killed General Miller or Vice President Pence. I responded.
The Obama administration pulled this guy out of the faculty
lounge and made him the architect of Obama's failed Russia policy.
That should be a reminder to all of us. No
matter how many fancy degrees and government titles you have,

(29:05):
it doesn't mean you know. You're asked from your elbow.
I think that's totally fair. That's not name calling. The
guy doesn't know one that body part from the other
body part. I mean, I don't know what to say.
I don't care how long, I don't care any book
he's written, how many degrees you have, just just not
that smart. I don't know what else to say. It's
not possible to believe this, to make this comparison and

(29:28):
be somebody who you should be deeply impressed by. It's
just not feasible. It doesn't work that way. And so
here we are. But of course they don't they don't believe.
They don't believe what Trump has said. They don't believe it.

(29:48):
I don't think that the commander in chief would even
be honest with us about this one. And then they
just continue to babble on about what they would do.
You're in the Freedom hid this is the Buck Sexton
Show podcast. Well, there's no question they're going to respond.

(30:10):
There are lots of questions about how, But we have
some questions to ask of our own president. Look, there
is no question that Suleimany had American blood on his hands,
that he was a bad actor in the region. But
if there is anything that we have learned in the
last twenty years about the Middle East, it's that taking
out a bad guy is not necessarily a good idea.

(30:31):
And what we've seen here is no evidence that there's
been proper consultation with Congress, and more importantly and more dangerously,
no evidence that they've really thought about the consequences. Right now,
my mind is with the troops who are moving to
the Middle East and having known what it's like to
be in the inside of one of those airplanes. You
need to be able to trust that everybody up your

(30:53):
chain of command has fought through what's ahead, and we're
just not seeing a lot of indications of that. Taking
out a bad guy is not necessarily a good idea. Gee,
I'm so glad we have Rhodes scholar mayor Pete here.
By the way, McFall is also a rhodescholar. I keep
telling Rhodes scholars are generally just people that are kiss

(31:14):
ups and do whatever they gotta do to get the
Rhodes give all. I know a lot of friends, a
lot of people that are RhoD scholars who Bill Clinton
was a Rhodes scholar, Rachel Matta was a Rhodes scholar.
Oh man, it's a very politicized process. But that's a
whole other thing. How could you even tell one school
another school. Everyone's getting straight a's at all these schools
because everyone gets as because once you get into these
elite institutions, they just they just push you through with, oh,

(31:35):
look at us smart. Everybody is from here. But if
everybody's that smart, how smart is anybody really? Right? These
places are a joke. At Yale, the little cry babies
can't even hear ideas they don't like. They can't hand
to watching Toddler's walk around in you know, a Pocahona's
costume because it's so offensive and yeah, here we are,
may or Pete doesn't have any solutions, doesn't have any answers,

(31:57):
just knows that they can't think this is the right
move because Trump did it. That's all that you have
to know about it. The media can't take a critical
view of the Iranian regimes forced demonstrations out in the streets,
and also even if even if they weren't forced at all, Okay,
the Iranians don't have a free press, the people don't

(32:18):
have the right of assembly, don't have the right to organize.
So is public sentiment and its totalitarianism is not something
that I get particularly weepy about because the people are
being brainwashed at the end of a bayonet. Does the
media ever think about this, They ever take any time
to consider the reality of and of course not too busy,

(32:38):
you know, making sure that their hair looks perfect. They're
gonna get invited to, you know, fancy party at Richard
Branson's private island or whatever it's really it has been
an amazing circumstance here to see what the But the
good news for the Democrats is that as dumb as
they look talking about this issue, which I think a

(33:02):
part of this that gets lost is the need to
re establish deterrence as a real thing that has come
back into the four. Maybe that changes the calculation on
the Iranian side. Maybe all of a sudden they'll realize, okay,
we're not going to that that there's not immunity for
actions against us through proxies. That's been the sort of

(33:25):
the secret sauce of the Iranian anti US action for
the last however many years now decades. If they if
an Iranian military officer isn't the one who pulls the trigger,
if he just gives the terrorists that he has trained
and funded and directed to go kill somebody the gun,
we're not gonna go. You know, I want to touch

(33:47):
the Cama's with Iran. They're so scary. Iran is a
little timpot dictatorship run by Mulla's with a tiny little economy.
It's it's running out of foreign currency reserves. We could
we could annihilate their infrastructure if we wanted to, and
I'm not saying we should. But I mean, let's get
real here, walking around, Oh what are we gonna do
and blowing up a bunch of stuff in Iran if

(34:07):
we have to do in retaliation for whatever they do
to us, doesn't mean we're doesn't mean we're going to war.
We're already in a state of war with the Iranians.
You know. You know what keeps the Iranians from engaging
in a mass casualty terror attack not any sense of
morality or international law or anything else. The only thing
that stops Iran from killing a lot of Americans and
including American civilians anywhere in the world is the implied

(34:31):
threat from the United States that we will crush them
in response. That's the only thing they would if they
thought they could do it and it was in their interests.
They do it in a heartbeat. This is an evil regime.
The people who run this country. They hang people from cranes,
They murder gaze. Does the media forget all of this stuff?
Oh no, they're going to compare Kasam Samani is you know,

(34:53):
just like our own, Just like our own Chamber of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and
Elvis all at Once and producer Mark's favorite baseball player,
Jude 'maggio. I don't know whoever the most of all time?
Is that right? Something like that? All all the same?
Is he the greatest ever? Babe Ruth? Babe Ruth? Probably Okay, yeah,

(35:15):
Babe Ruth, Elvis, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, all in one,
Kassam Sulamani, How could we ever have touched this amazing person?
That's the that's the premise you get from the media.
He's just like one of ours, really, don't I don't
think so. Of my friends, I don't think so. Um,
and I have lost my patience for dealing with the

(35:37):
dishonesty and the stupidity of those in the mainstream media. UM.
I no longer just vehemently disagree with them. I think
they are worthy of contempt and disrespect in many cases,
and I don't say that lightly. That's where we are
now on this Iran thing, just like it's where we
were on the cabin all thing too. Thanks for listening
to the Bus Sesson Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on

(35:58):
Apple podcast, the I heart rate app, befoor, wherever you
get your podcasts. There's a really important cultural dynamic playing out.
Political dynamic playing out as well across the country right
now that you're not hearing very much about that, I
want to spend some time talking to you about today,
and it has to do with the polarization of states

(36:22):
right where we increasingly now have states that are single
party strongholds. We'll talk more about California later on in
the show today, but there are these states out there
where they've decided that they're just going to forget about
the fact that they have many, right a large percentage
of residents who would not agree with a certain action.

(36:43):
They're going to enact deeply progressive, left wing policies where
they can. And you've seen a little bit of this
in red strongholds recently, but really just around some issues
like you know, trying to restrict abortion, which would be
a good thing for humanity, but nonetheless there have been

(37:04):
these these efforts that are ramping up. I've seen him
particularly in a lot of these blue states, because you've
had over the last three years while Trump's in office,
four hundred state lawmaker seats that were held by Republicans
have gone to Democrats. So this also occurred. Would I
would have you remember this occurred during the Obama years

(37:27):
in the other direction, where Obama he was very popular
and he did very well as president. Of course, won
eight years in office, very popular Democrats, not very popular
with Republicans, but he won big, big electoral victories both
times around. Well, people forget is that he also presided
over a Democrat party that was that lost power in Congress,

(37:49):
and you know, he lost control of the House the
Tea Party wave in twenty ten, then lost control later on.
The Democrats lost control of the Senate, and all along
there were enormous losses, enormous losses having to do with
the state legislatures where Republicans were control a lot of
the state legislatures. Now, this is very, very important for

(38:12):
a whole bunch of reasons. One of them, though I
wanted to get this out right away, is that in
twenty twenty, there'll be many states that are up for
their districting. Redistricting they determine what the congressional congressional districts are. Democrats,
as they tend to do, have been fighting this when
they don't like the outcome. When they don't like the outcome,

(38:34):
the process is suspect. When they do like the outcome.
The process is sacrosanct. That's how they approach everything, right.
But it's certainly the case with districting and redistricting or
I keep using those two words meaning the same thing. Um,
you know, there have been some court challenges. Virginia is
a very good example of this, where they say, sorry,

(38:55):
you're not allowed to do that in this way in
this district. It's it's two favorable for the side that
I don't like. That's the only real standard, because any
congressional district is inherent. It's like drawing the borders of
a country on a map. What should the border between
the US and Canada really be? Well, kind of just
some people in charge had a map and they drew

(39:17):
a line on a map, and that's kind of what happens.
That's it. There's no Yeah, sometimes you have some natural barriers,
you know, the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean. Those are
our borders with Europe and Asia respectively. I mean there's
something the Rio grand is kind of a border, but
not really. You have some areas where there's a natural border,
but usually it's just lines on a map. That's true
of congressional districts, and so what you have now are

(39:40):
Democrats who are very upset, and they keep saying that
it's cheating, it's unfair because Republicans have drawn districts that
are more favorable to their political prospects. Then I guess
what the Democrats would want. By the way, we all
know that everyone who complains about that now and any
judge who even in a state like Virginia would overrule

(40:01):
that as has happened. They do that, And I think
we all know that if it were advantaging Democrats and
disadvantaging Republicans, then all of a sudden, the districts are fine,
no problem, Hey, what are you gonna do? It's all
kind of subjective, you know, they would. This is what
the root the foundation of liberalism today is hypocrisy and

(40:23):
double standard. Right though, those are the two the twin
pillars of contemporary Democrat liberalism socialism, hypocrisy and double standards
all across the board. But the Democrats have flipped eight
legislative chambers just since twenty eighteen, and they have both
chambers in nineteen states. Virginia is the most you know,

(40:49):
the most most sort of battleground focus one because Virginia
is a state with a lot of Republicans and a
lot of Democrats. It's a purple state that I think,
unfortunately is now. I think Virginia is a blue state
for presidential election purposes, and I don't think it's going
to change anytime soon. It's really become dominated by the
expansion of DC suburbs, notably Arlington, Virginia and Loudon County

(41:15):
and all these other counties that are in Virginia that
are very, very wealthy by the way, but these different
Fairfax County they've become huge population centers and they have
a big sway on Virginia going blue. And so now
they're trying to push all this legislation through where they

(41:36):
want to. They call it expanding voting access, which is
always a very vague. What do they call it expanding
voting access? I mean you should not be able to
voteor you shouldn't be able to vote. Why are how
are they expanding voting access? Oh, we'll get into some
of this, putting in protection state protections for abortion rights.
Keep in mind, I think it was Jeffrey Tubin, who

(41:57):
is CNN's chief legal analyst, who was a garbage legal analyst.
I mean not good. You would not want this guy.
You would rather if you were being held in a
prison in Alabama for a murder you did not commit,
you would rather not just have my cousin Vinnie. You'd
rather actually have Joe Peshi, all five foot two of
him defending your rights and trying to keep you out
of prison. Then I think you would have Jeffrey tub

(42:18):
And Jeffrey Tuban had some tweet that after Kavanaugh was
in After Kavanaugh was confirmed, he tweeted out that their
abortion will be illegal in like a dozen states or
something within eighteen months, And it had been. It was
eighteen months last month, and abortion is illegal statewide in
zero states. But other than that, great prediction, Jeffrey Tuban.

(42:40):
But Democrats are showing us what the plan is here,
which is that if there is any reduction in the
absolutest right to abortion, Remember abortion is a very is
not just very important right to Democrats because also if
you ever start to move away from I mean, they
inherently to have to think, they have to believe abortion

(43:01):
is a good thing. Now they say that it's not
that they want it safe, legal and rare. They've tried
them in the past, but the the public admission through
law that you want less abortion, even though about seventy
to eighty percent of the population depending on the poll
you're talking about, opposes late term abortion. They understand there's
some problems and some abortion procedures if that is ever

(43:22):
enshrined in laws, if there or if there are limitations
restrictions on abortion at the state level, if some states
say sorry, we think this is unethical and this is immoral,
then you would have a circumstance where Democrats would have
to come face to face with they think that a
right that there can be a right to do something
that is bad. Find me another right to do something

(43:47):
that is bad, that is immoral. That is, you have
a right to do something that is immoral and bad
and wrong and not like subjectively bad as in well,
you know, speech can be mean offensive. No, No No, I
mean you have a right to do something that is
that is a wrong. It can never be right to
do a wrong. It's actually one of the preferred sayings

(44:09):
from my old mentor and amorous professor Hadley Archy's. He
used to say that all the time. He was right,
by the way, But Democrats are showing us what the
plan is, which is to protect abortion across the board
in as many states as possible, and they protected as
an absolutist right. You know, they're special. You can't even

(44:29):
you know, stand in the doorway of an abortion clinic
and try to pass out literature against it. You know,
there's all these things. It's this they create all this
additional legislation and regulation so that abortion access they call it,
now becomes so and they say abortionist healthcare. So really
it should be paid for by the state, which means
you should pay for it. This is a right that

(44:51):
now exists. They say that cannot be restricted, that you
should pay Forget the High Demendment. They've abandoned that. I mean,
they've become extremists on abortion even here to where they
were twenty years ago, ten years ago. Now they're like, nope,
not only should you should have to pay for it,
the government should fund it, and you should have no
say in this. You cannot try to, uh, you know,

(45:11):
stand in the way of the doorway of an abortion clinic.
And oh, by the way, if if an illegal alien
comes into the country, that person's abortion should be paid
for with taxpayer dollars too. That's where we are. So
states are not trying to make sure they already have
legislation in place in case Trump judges are are in

(45:32):
fact the difference maker here. And then I say this
and people I had people kind of push back on this,
you know, Conservatives when I brought it up with them.
But for all of Trump's imperfections and his personal his
personal failings, I think you could say in his personal life,

(45:53):
which I know, you know again, look, it's fair game,
but it's also I don't wanna be too harsh on
this stuff. But for all of that, how would we
judge it? Speaking of judge kind of a sloppy transition here,
but this President Trump is better on judges than any
Republican president in my lifetime. I think you could argue

(46:14):
probably any Republican president for as long as we've had
the political issues at hand that we do. So, I
mean you go back a couple of generations, he's the
best Republican president for the appointment of Supreme Court judges
in a hundred years easily, I mean, if you want
to go before that, but it was kind of different stuff.
So he's unbelievable. I mean, he's been fantastic with the

(46:35):
federal judges he's appointed, and Mitch McConnell, give him credit
to cocaine, Mitch getting the job done. He's putting people
into positions, lifetime lifetime positions, appointments across the federal judiciary
that's going to have a really major impact for a
very long time. And you know, Trump has been excellent
on these judges. If, in fact, a another opening comes

(46:59):
up in the next suming Trump wins re election, which
we know we don't. We're not counting our chickens before
they hatch. Assuming Trump wins the next election, though, and
he manages to appoint someone along the lines of a
Gorsitch or a Kavanaugh, although we don't know how. We
don't know how conservative and constitutionals Cavanaugh really is yet,
we don't know. We know he didn't run a secret

(47:20):
gang rape ring back in the day, unless you're a
total lunatic in a moron who believes that. Still, but
you know, we don't know how good he is on
some of these issues. But if Trump's election and his
appointment results in a change in abortion law at the
Supreme Court level, and that then means that it becomes

(47:41):
a state's issue, which is what these states are all
doing to prepare for it meaning that the blue legislatures
even in states like like Virginia that are kind of purple. Right,
the California is a separate issue where it's just blue
and there's no hope of changing anytime soon. We'll talk
about that later. But in Virginia, where it's it's a
purple state trending blue, they're trying to put these these

(48:03):
laws in place while they can. You know, this is
kind of like what the Democrats did with Obamacare. Oh,
we have a kind of an anomaly here. We have
control everywhere. I just forget about the other side. Just
do it to just do it to them, just ram
your progressivism down their throats. And but on abortion specifically,
they're preparing for this because if Trump's judges do anything

(48:26):
that restricts abortion or just no longer has this this
writ from on high of the Supreme Court that abortion
is the law of the land and there can be
no state restrictions on it. You know, and Planned Parenthood v.
Casey isn't even is really where this could happen where
you have the special category of abortion in our law.

(48:46):
Never I mean, the Rovyway decision is a horrible decision,
but just based on the legal aspects of it, never
mind the moral. But then you look at plan Parenthood v. Cacy,
where you added all of this. Now, abortion is a
right that must be protected along the lines of how
people think of, you know, voting rights. It's not just
you have a right to be able to vote, but
you know, it's like, well you can't you know, you

(49:07):
can't have a polling place moved from here to there.
And there's all these other things that get added into
it to make it a right that is ineffective, right, right,
So if you have some of those restrictions that come
as a result of a change from the Supreme Court
because of Trump judges, and this is what I'm really
trying to get to you here, but no one really thinks,
for this way, how many lives will Trump have saved?

(49:29):
How many lives will Donald Trump be directly responsible for
saving if the judges that he appoints, specifically judges that
he has appointed the Supreme Court are the deciding factor
in rolling back the current regime of abortion this country,
such that not every state will of course outlawed. Some
states or California will have it exactly as it is

(49:51):
right now, but there will be states where it's still practiced,
where all of a sudden it will be endowed or
perhaps be eliminated entirely. How many lives will he be
responsible for saving. I think that's a very real calculation
that we should keep in mind as the president. People say, oh, my, judges,
this is a line you'll here like conservatives and you know, evangelicals,

(50:12):
for example, I've been getting so much heat recently because
they overwhelmingly, I think eighty to ninety percent of them
support Donald Trump. And people say, oh, well, that's so hypocritical,
because evangelicals are supposed to care about character, and they're
supposed to care about you know, this and the other thing.
And to that, I just say, well, hold on a second.
Evangelicals care about the president United States, defending their interests,

(50:32):
their rights, and pushing moral policy. And you know, I
take it in the other direction. I say, Catholics that
support people like Nancy Pelosi as a Catholic, which is
what she loves to say, of course, even though she's
pushing for the policies that I think would make Beelzebub grin.
I don't know how Catholics are okay with what the

(50:53):
stuff the Democratic parties doing and still consider themselves to
be in any reasonable or any meaningful way of believing Hatholic.
So that's that's a part of this. But then there's
the issue of guns, which I wanted to transition us too.
You're in the Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton
Show podcast. Virginia is a state that I've spent a

(51:17):
lot of time and I have a family still in Virginia,
and I used to spend one or two major holidays
a year, usually is either Thanksgiving or Fourth of July.
We're both in Virginia seeing my grandmother down there. And
you know, we've always had this connection to Virginia as
a family as a result, and I mean meaning my

(51:39):
immediate family, and you know, we think of it as
the South, and obviously you go back and you know,
the history of history of this country had clearly you know,
you know, Richmond's role in the South and everything on.
I mean, we're very aware of Virginia as the South,
but you know, it's starting to feel a lot less
like the South in the sense that it's gone bluer
and bluer in recent years. And that's where you have

(52:02):
this situation now. And this is by the way, also
why I talk about hypocrisy and the way the Democrats
will abandon principles they pretend to care about for political expedience.
Governor Northam the guy who was wearing black face in
the photo, but he couldn't remember if he was in
the clan robe or if he was the black face guy,
or how many times he did it, and he lied
about it. That guy is the governor of a state

(52:26):
where right now you have Democrats in control of both
parts of the state legislature, and so he was very
necessary for the plan of trying to push very aggressive
progressive policies in a state where there's certainly a large
contingent of Republicans conservatives who are not on board for

(52:49):
this at all and they just don't care. Democrats have
now taken it, and it's part of this, I think,
is a reflection also of the polarized era were in
when it comes to Trump. Democrats have taken an attitude
in these states of we're just going to do as
much as we can, as fast as we can when
we have power, irrespective even really of the possible long

(53:10):
term political risks. And that is where we get to
this plan in Virginia, which I've mentioned it a couple
of times in the show. We haven't gotten into all
that much detail about it, but there is this plan
in Virginia to ban semi automatic rifles that are deemed
assault rifles. And you may have a situation where it

(53:35):
mean depends on how this isn't forced, but you may
have a situation where you have law enforcement going to
people's homes and under the law, I mean, if it's banned,
it's banned. If it's illegal, it's illegal. And now people
are going to be arrested in the state of Virginia.
I mean, this isn't you know, this isn't Massachusetts or
California or some of these places that you would expect

(53:57):
might be arrested for having a semi automatic rifle that
a certain cosmetic characteristics that liberals find scary. That's what
we're heading for. And that also then brings me to
sanctuary jurisdiction. Thanks for listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts.
Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or
wherever you get your podcasts. All right, so, what is

(54:21):
a sanctuary jurisdiction in the context of you you have
this this Democrat control of both parts of the legislature
for Virginia, and you have a governor. I remember they
thought maybe for a while, okay, we're gonna push the
governor out. But then you had I think, justin Fairfax,
just below the governor, who was accused by two different

(54:46):
women of sexual assault, and so that then all of
a sudden and this all happened roughly at the same time.
And then if he also stepped down or couldn't take
over the governor's role. For Northam, you had Mark Harring
who had his own like blackface issue in his past
where and he initially called for Northam to stepped down.

(55:06):
So you could have had you know, one, two, three,
the top three of the state of Virginia on the
executive branch side effectively stepped down or pushed out or
gone whatever, resign. So that's why they're like, all right,
we're just gonna keep Northam. You got Northam still in place.
Nor remember Northam's the guy not only had the blackface
situation in his past, but also talked far too openly

(55:29):
and honestly, I think is what you'd have to say about,
how you know, if if if a child of an
abortion was born alive, you know, you'd want to like
be nice to it and comfort it, beore before you
kill it. This is what he said. He said it
on radio. You can all hear it for yourself. Democrats
pretend that this is scaremongering, or this isn't a real thing,

(55:49):
or guy said it, he meant what he said. He hasn't.
And also no one has ever said that that that's
not the reality of the law on Virginia, and Democrats
are trying to make that now they're trying to enshrine
that as the law at the state level. And then
that brings me to this this gun issue and the
notion of sanctuary jurisdictions. Now here's where the standard set

(56:13):
by liberals, which and it's really a standard of we
have no standards other than we want power, we will
achieve power, will do what is necessary. The standards set
by liberals here is more or less being replicated by Republicans.
Liberals do it with immigration, they've just decided, you know,

(56:34):
they've just decided on their own for whatever reason, that
they are in a position to not enforce immigration law right.
Sanctuary cities, as you know, and there's hundreds and hundred
of them across the country, and what they're saying is
that they will not stay in local law enforcement, will
not be a part of federal law that mandates that

(56:55):
you can't be in the country illegally, and that has,
of course other provisions that come into play as well.
They will not be a part of it, and they
will in fact do what they can to make it harder.
They will not extend courtesy assistance to federal law enforcement
immigration customs officers. They will not honor detainer requests. So
when someone's already in prison who's an illegal alien in
sanctuary jurisdictions, they will not hold them until ice can

(57:17):
show up and take custody of them. They won't even
do that. They will not even notify in some cases
they have an illegal alien and custody. And there's the
fight underwear right now. This administration, the Trump administration, has
been waging this battle trying to say, hey, hold on
a second, you know, you can't just you can't just
do this. You can't just pretend that the law is

(57:38):
in the law, and the law enforcement, even at the
state and local level, has no role to play in
assisting the federal government. Of course, the states, the Democrats
have all of a sudden established or have discovered states rights,
which we know has a very negative connotation in many
contexts for other reasons. But Democrats have established or have

(57:58):
figured out that their states rights, such as in this case,
would make it impossible or not a legal duty for
them to do what federal law enforcement wants them to do. Okay, now,
let's get back to the sanctuary gun situation here. What
that is is that you have people in sheriffs in

(58:19):
certain towns cities of Virginia who have already said, look,
we're just we're not going to do this thing that
you want us to do, where we're going to start
arresting people and enforcing US law against assualt rifles where
it's not going to do it, which is going to
be very interesting. Now that is keep in mind it's
a little different than sanctuary cities. In sanctuary cities, it's

(58:43):
state and local law enforcement saying we will not assist
or in any way enforce federal immigration law. Now you
have people at the state level who are law enforcement
officers paid by the state, working for the state, who
are saying, sorry, not going to do it. This is
nullification of the people in charge, nullification of the laws

(59:08):
of the people in charge of enforcing the laws. Now,
I understand why they would do this, because it's outrageous
that the Virginia State legislature and this sort of progressive
frenzy wants to ban So I'm sure there are other
things they're planning on doing. Two in the realm of
gun control, there's more specifics that they're going to try

(59:30):
to throw in the mix here and do other things
that would be particularly owners for gun owners. Because remember,
much of the gun control agenda is really about agitating
and other rising people who believe in the Second Amendment
who own guns. Much of what they are really trying
to accomplish with some of this legislation is just to

(59:52):
thumb their nose at to spit in the faces of
people who are their political opponents who tend to be
Second Amendment support orders. But what happens, my friends, what
happens when you have a circumstance where now Democrats decide
that certain state laws will just not be enforced. Now,

(01:00:13):
the drug thing, by the way, is another another situation,
but the federal government has kind of said, okay, but
we have a lot of laws in this country right
now that you start to say what exactly is the law?
Where does the law stop and start? You've got immigration
law that is not enforced by state and local governments

(01:00:33):
and sanctual jurisdictions, and that the federal government seems unable
to enforce. And when you're unable to enforce a law,
there's certainly an argument made that it has ceased to
be a law. So the federal government has fallen down
on the job in this regard. So then you have
to ask, okay, well, where else do we have laws
that are not being treated as law. Look, I'm and

(01:00:56):
some of you get very mad at me on this one,
and I understand. I know that there are very strong
feelings around marijuana legalization and whether it's a good thing
or a bad thing. I mean, the states that have
made it de facto legal although it's not legal. I mean,
the federal government still has under the Controlled Substances Act

(01:01:18):
under their first section of it, right Schedule one controlled
substances marijuana is still on there, so it's still very
much illegal, but states are allowed. But you see, I
understand that this it starts to get a little confusing
in this tangle of all these different laws. But you
can understand how anybody to look at this would say, okay,
so is the law just no longer a law when
some people decide that it doesn't count anymore? Don't we

(01:01:40):
have legislatures that are supposed to repeal things and mend things,
change things. Is this just turning into Because what really
separates America from a lot of other countries that have,
you know, a lot of natural resources, good weather? You
know what exactly separates us from places? What separates us
from most of Latin America, for example, that's a that's

(01:02:03):
a good place to start. What separates America from Latin America. Well,
we have rule of law. And anybody who spend any
time in Mexico or a whole bunch of other countries
in Central and South America would tell you very assuredly
that rule of law in those countries is kind of

(01:02:23):
a non existent to our barely existent. It's one of
the most important things that separates us from those countries,
and it contributes to our security, our prosperity, you know,
our our freedom. Rule of laws very much about freedom.
If you understand what the laws are in a country,
you can operate accordingly, and you can have an expectation
that your freedom will be respected and the state will

(01:02:47):
protect your freedoms because you know what those laws are.
When it's just to kind of sometimes yes, sometimes know,
how can you even make a real determination about that?
So while I understand the impulse from sheriff, look, you know,
the other part of it is it's not even necessarily
nullification of laws for sheriffs. Then it just turns into
prosecutor a form of prosecutorial discretion, which all law enforcement has.

(01:03:11):
You know, if a cop on the scene thinks, you know,
if you were speeding, but a cop thinks that you know,
you're actually trying to get your wife to the hospital,
he has he has, He's completely within his rights to
say I'm going to give you warning. You're welcome to go, right.
I mean, ken a sheriff just say hey, you know
I saw you at the range with you know, if
this is sheriff pulls up the range to do a

(01:03:31):
you know, his own target practice, and I'm sure he
has his own range. You get what I'm saying. See
somebody in Virginia after with this law and effect, now
I'm banning assault rifles assuming but they're trying to do
this in the next sixty days. So it hasn't hasn't
happened quite yet. That's why I can't give you that
many specifics on exactly what's going on here. But if
a sheriff see somebody can't just say, hey, buddy, be
careful with that because you know it's technically illegal, but

(01:03:52):
you know, take it home with you, don't worry about it. Yeah,
of course, So is that is that a dangerous nullification
of lall? No, it's not. But we need to understand
here that you have a Democrat impulse in a state
where there are a lot of people that very much
disagree with what is trying to be what they're trying
to accomplish here, there's a Democrat impulse to make criminals

(01:04:14):
of Republicans, to criminalize their Second Amendment rights, and to
institutionalize as much as possible the furthest left parts of
their agenda. And this is resulting in a state by
state polarization where there's you know, I keep talking about
the eradication of good faith in the era of Trump
in our politics. I really mean it. It's a real thing.

(01:04:37):
You know, you can't trust that your fellow Americans who
are liberals or who are Democrats are willing to defend
your free speech rights anymore? Because there's a really large
movement within the left. I would say it's the dominant
force in Democrat politics today to say no, sorry, certain
things you can't Certain things are too mean, You're not

(01:04:58):
allowed to say them, Certain things are too controvers know
how to say them? In the Second Amendment? What do
you if if the Bloomberg's of the world got their way.
I mean, you know, Bloomberg is very opposed to um guns.
Um if they got their way, what exactly would what
would you be allowed? You'd be allowed to maybe get

(01:05:18):
a special permit to have a double barreled shotgun that
you could use to go you know, sporting clay shooting.
You know they go trap shooting sometime. That's that's the
full extent. I mean, what would your Second Amendment rights
really be? Oh yeah, you can defend your home with
a double barreled shotguns. That's all you need. This is
this is taking us down to a a scary place.

(01:05:40):
What you're seeing in Virginia, if this is a harbinger
of things to come, and other purple states across the
country where Democrats have legislative control for a period of time.
You know, it's one thing to pass aloll that says
the tax rate the state tax is seven percent. No,
it's actually nine percent, or it's eight percent. Okay, I
mean you could switch that back and forth. But you're
going to start going door to door and sending law

(01:06:01):
enforcement to go arrest people for this. And if you're
not going to do that, why would you ban assault rifles?
What does that mean? You're just gonna ban new sale
of assault rifles. There are I'm sure a few million
assault rifles currently in circulation in Virginia. I even, I mean,
I can't No one even really knows the number. So
you're just going to make sure that everyone's and you're
still gonna have legal sale of them in other in

(01:06:23):
other states. So if possession of them is not illegal,
and you're just going to ban new sales, you're just
making it a lot more expensive for people to get
in aar in Virginia. So if you're going to really
try to get rid of them, you're gonna have to
arrest people for them. You have to criminalize them. Are
democrats at the state Legislature of Virginia willing to do that?
In this crazy period we're in, it seems the answers, Yes,

(01:06:45):
it's very troubling. It should put everybody on edge. You're
in the freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
During the run up to the passage of Obama President Obama,
Prow's wife father that if he lies his plan, he
can keep his plan, and that's insurance will be cheaper

(01:07:05):
after passage's planning his own allowed and it's insurance costs
double since he supported the plan. Were he lying with
my dad? Or did you not understand the ability's supported
the lion dog face pony shoulder. No. Look, there's two
ways people know when something is important. One when it's
so clear when it's passed that everybody understands it. And

(01:07:25):
no one didn't understand Obamacare, including the way it was
rolled out, and the gentleman's right. He said you could
keep your doctor if you wanted to, and you couldn't
keep your doctor if you wanted to. Necessarily he's dead
right about that, you know. Joe Biden makes these two
admissions here, and it's all you really have to know
about the Democrats today is that this is this is
their best This is the guy that they're putting up

(01:07:46):
to set everything right and make everything great in this country.
And Joe Biden's a buffoon, a buffoon, but he just
kind of blithely in sousion in sousion lee, I don't
know if that's really a word, but in sousion manner,
it's a fancy French word for like cool as a cucumber.

(01:08:07):
Says that nobody understood Obamacare when it was rolled out
and you couldn't keep your plan. And I just want
to point out that I was saying that at the time.
Conservatives really across the board, we're saying this at the time,
and what we were saying was absolutely true, and yet
Democrats shouted us down, DemoGod the issue, ram it through

(01:08:30):
and still pretend like Obamacare was was great. An Obamacare
is effectively an expansion of Medicare, I'm sorry, an expansion
of medicaid healthcare welfare in a whole bunch of states,
which adds dramatically to the deficit, but that's what it is,
and also then does a little bit of shifting where
some people get a little bit of subsidy to have

(01:08:50):
kind of, you know, not so great insurance, and other
people don't get subsidies pay a little more, pay more
than they should and are strained in order to try
to pay the insurance. And this is what this did.
We have this huge fight. Democrats just just did everything
went to the mat used reconciliation kind of a budgetary
maneuver that's not supposed to be meant for major legislation,

(01:09:12):
to get the last piece of Obamacare, last parts of
Obamacare through these budget reconciliation and all for what exactly
I mean. Now we're still here. We are right, It's
been three years since Obama, the Obama administration was in power,
and we're talking about healthcare all and now we've got
a whole new healthcare thing. You would think that maybe

(01:09:33):
there could be some humility from the central planners as
a result of this. Maybe they would take a moment
to think, hold on a second. We thought we were
these geniuses last time, We're going to figure this all out,
and we completely messed the whole thing up. Maybe this
time around we should have a little bit more of
a collaborative approach with the people that have real concerns
about this and try to make things better. You think

(01:09:55):
that the fact that Joe Biden has to say you
couldn't keep your plan even though we said you could
keep your plan. That's a big deal because that was
a huge part of getting the buy in, and it
was never a particularly strong buying, but getting the buying
the American people, they figure, Okay, this won't affect me
that much in the individual market. I can I can
keep my plan if I like my plan. And it

(01:10:18):
turned out it was a big lie. Here's the problem
I have with them. With a lot of problems with this,
but here's one of the big problems I have, folks.
Democrats never learn the lesson. They never learned the lesson.
They refused to accept that We've run this experiment where
they just did exactly what they wanted to do. It
was all Democrats on a single Republican vote that exactly

(01:10:39):
they wanted to do. They lied about what they were
doing in order to get it done. Now Here we
are of Democrats running what's their primary rallying cry against
Trump as a policy matter other than Trump as hitler.
They want Medicare for all, or some vast expansion of Medicare,
or you know, some enormous add onto Obamacare that would

(01:11:02):
be maybe a public option. They never figure out that
we've already seen. They don't have the ability to do
what they think they can. They will mess things up.
They will make your healthcare worse, they will make it
more expensive, it guaranteed, and yet they never step back
and say, hold on a second, maybe we should learn

(01:11:22):
a lesson from how we've already messed this. Thanks for
listening to The Bus Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe

whole bunch of these new progressive laws. California, though, is
the laboratory of liberal insanity. As you know, California, which

(01:11:46):
is I like to point out to you used to
be a Republican stronghold, which people completely forget now when Gabel,
we had you know, President Nixon, President Reagan. These came
from California, the California political system. California was a red
state until basically the nineties in presidential elections reliably read
not every time, but usually. And now I mean it

(01:12:10):
is the belly of the blue beast. I mean, California
is liberalism distilled down to its most insane parts. By
the way, I think I'm actually going to be in
California in a couple of weeks, so I'll come back
with some stories from the front lines of liberal insanity there.
Although I'm New York City, which is basically as bad,
we just have a slightly more capitalist outlook, I guess.

(01:12:33):
I don't know. I'm not even sure we do. Actually
in New York is probably in some ways as bad
as California. We have Staten Island, though at least Republican
stronghold of Staten Island. Yeah. But there's all kinds of
new laws in California that are going into effects, some
that will have a real, a real impact on things.
And here is one, for example. This is just amazing, Prilla.

(01:12:58):
Play a clip one, ducer Mark. This is a new
water use law in California. Play one, all right, this one.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. You're not
going to be allowed to shower and do a load
of laundry in the same day. I had the same misgivings. Um,
doing a load of laundry takes about forty to fifty
gallons of water. Taking a shower for about eight minutes
takes about seventeen gallons of water. Well, there's a limitation

(01:13:21):
on your daily use of water a fifty five gallons
per day. So that means if you are taking a
shower and doing a load of laundry, you can't do
both without being in violation of the law. Um. There
are some exceptions about this. There are some caveats. For instance,
if you have a multi person household, if you have
four people in your household, there are three people in household,
that fifty five gallon limit per day applies for each person,

(01:13:45):
so you could do a load of laundry. Um, if
you have a multi person household, and okay, yeah, well
you can actually see your your water uses on a
day rate with your water meter a thousand dollars a day. Folks,
if you were to take a shower and do a

(01:14:05):
load of laundry in California as a single person, so
I'll have more than fifty five gallons of water usage
in that they estimate, and they already have these water
you know, water meters set up. You're gonna see your
water usage. This is what they've done. This is what
liberal left wing socialist policy has done to a state
that in many ways is the most blessed piece of

(01:14:29):
land of you know, anywhere in the United States, California,
the California coastline is incredible. It's gorgeous. It has amazing weather.
And California has all these different climates. You get you know,
you go up in the north San Francisco area, it's
great for wine growing. Go down south you have like
sunny weather. That's you can wear, you know, board shorts

(01:14:50):
and a T shirt, ear round if you want, or
socks with birkenstocks if you want to rocket, like producer
Mark does do you do you ever do the socks? No,
he just he's not like these and he's not on
board for that. That was a thing for a while.
People used to wear socks with birkenstocks to remember that hippies.
So California is gonna start finding you a thousand dollars

(01:15:10):
a day if you use too much water. You'd have
to wonder why is there such a precarious condition for
water usage in the state. Well, it's because a lot
of it has to do with the management of water
by the authorities. Thing just like they don't manage their forests, well,
they don't manage their water. Well. You'd think a state
where they're obsessed with environmentalism would be a little bit

(01:15:31):
better at this. You'd think that a state where there's
so many people that's been so much time, so much
of their time thinking about all these issues would be
in a position to be better at dealing with them.
But that is sure enough not the case. That is
not what ends up happening. They are not good at
dealing with this at all because they take a statist,

(01:15:54):
collectivist approach to these issues, and they believe the looney
climb change Left's rhetoric. They put it into action. Um,
and here here's this. This was This was a local
California TV station. They're having this and you can tell
the anchors are like, wait, what this new law is
going to effect in twenty twenty. Play clip two. Now
there are actually fines available for this as well. Your

(01:16:15):
your first your violation is one thousand dollars per each
day that you're in violation. Wait, who made this a law.
Let's just let me talk to that. It's a state legislature.
The governor signed this into effectos in effect January first.
Now there's also another caveat. If we're in drought conditions
and the governor declares an emergency, that fine can go
up to ten thousand dollars to a day, so be careful.
You know, you could change your word to serenity to anchor. Now, wow,

(01:16:38):
you're not gonna be able to shower in twenty twenty.
You know what, I'm gonna pick doing laundry ever, showering.
So all of a sudden, I can smoke marijuana as
much as I want, but I can't take a shower. Yeah,
it's it's unbelievable. Yeah, absolutely, It's like, get smoked marijuana
as much as I want, I can't take a shower.
I mean, it's kind of true. That's California. The streets

(01:16:59):
are governing FECs, the middle class is fleeing, the taxes
are too high, the crime rate is rising. You can't
take a shower, but you can smoke all the weeds
you want. Well, I'm looking forward to my trip there
and feelings I was gonna say, I'm heading out there,
so I'll let you guys. And no plastic straws. I
hate that. Do you know what the percentages of plastic

(01:17:20):
in the oceans that comes from the United States, It's
like less than two percent. We basically put nola. We
have stopped using plastic in this country for things that
are useful under the idea that we are somehow trying
to stop like sea turtles from choking, which I like
sea turtles don't with them a choke. But the plastic
is not coming from us, you know. The plastic is

(01:17:42):
coming from is actually a lot of it is driven
by major river systems into the ocean. And those major
river systems are in Asia and Africa. That is where
a vast majority of the plastic that is making its
way in the oceans is coming from. Do you think
are like, we're going to stop using plastic straws? This

(01:18:03):
is what I mean. They don't. They don't think they're
identify the problem, figure out the solution, see if the
cost benefit analysis is worth it. They don't do this.
They just go, oh, my gosh, there's a thing. And
I have these preconceived notions about how I view the world,
and then there's this problem. And I'm not going to
look at whether the problem would actually even be addressed
by the way I'm going to approach it. But it'll

(01:18:25):
make me feel good because the problem is so scary.
Climate change a perfect sample. It's but plastic in the oceans.
Another one I tell them. I would tell libs, hey,
you're not making things any better by doing this thing
you're doing. And they would say, why do you want
sea turtles to choke on plastic? And I'd say I don't.
But they don't care. They don't care. There's no one is.
It's getting harder and harder, folks. You know, I wish

(01:18:47):
that there was even a place where you could have
a reasonable, interesting debate with liberals on these issues. But
you can anymore, because how do you debate with somebody who,
when presenting with this, is just going to say, well,
we have to show leadership. I mean liberalism today, progressivism
is just drowning in its own sanctimony all the time,

(01:19:07):
and it's just just as heaps of it, all of it. Oh,
I'm so great, I'm so amazing. Why well it makes
you so great and so amazing? Oh? Because I do
these things that liberals do. Mmm, not good enough, not
good enough. But then again they don't care because it
feels so good. You're in the U. This is the

(01:19:32):
Buck Sexton Show podcast. California's obviously got some very very
bad ideas, but I wanted to just say that we're
at the point now where maybe we should create a
just a recurring segment on the show. Which is really
bad ideas from Democrats running for president right now, like

(01:19:53):
the things that they say that are not not just
the things that are untrue run for it, but just
the fact that they don't even really understand what the
consequences would be of some of the things that they
are very much pushing for. You have, for example, minimum
wage is another great, a great example of this. Keep

(01:20:16):
saying minimum wage is very popular, even conservatives or Republicans,
you know, people like it. But minimum wage is something
that does not work as advertised for most people. For
some people, some people will make more money who are
workers because of minimum wage. Some people have their hours
cut back, some people will lose their jobs. Some people
will have automation instituted that will either limit or cut

(01:20:38):
back their arm. I mean, there's all these different ways
of dealing with the imposition of cost via central planning,
which is in fact what you have through the minimum wage.
Senator Bernie Sanders does not care, and so he runs
around saying that we need a what he calls a

(01:21:00):
living minimum wage. Please play producer brand producer Mark, pardon me,
clip eleven bottom line here is that we need a
federal minimum wage for every state in this country, which
is a living wage at least fifteen dollars an hour. Now,
fifteen dollars an hour is not a lot of money,

(01:21:22):
but it is better than seven and a quarter or
nine or ten dollars an hour. Second thing we need
to establish in America is that women must earn equal
pay for equal work. All right, let's deal with both
of these bad democrat ideas. Shall we equal pay for

(01:21:44):
equal work? You have a fifteen dollars minimum wage? And
we have to keep returning to this because people, it's
I understand, there's an emotional So much of central planning,
so much of socialism is push not by what works,
but by what feels good or sounds good to people.
And I understand why so many would say, look, can

(01:22:05):
we get a little more money to people who are
If you're working for in an hourly job, you know
chances are I mean, yeah, there are people at law
firms that are making eight hundred dollars an hour. Although
usually they don't get to keep a big piece of that.
They get to keep a small percentage of it. If
they're working at a big firm. But usually if you're
an hourly worker, tend not to be making a very
high wage. And so you know, when you're talking about

(01:22:26):
hourly workers, anybody who's making minimum wage, or rather who's
affected by minimum wage legislation is going to be someone
who benefits from this. And you want to help those people, right.
You want people they're shown up doing a job, being productive,
doing what they're supposed to do. You want them to
have what they need and to be able to get ahead.
Of course, getting ahead financially also involves decision making and

(01:22:49):
planning and some degree of luck. These are all things
that people don't talk about on the left. They just
pretend that there's a way that we can all be
living in some glorious future where there's no deprivation, there's
no economic insecurity, there's no want or need that is
not met by the dictates of the state. Fifteen dollar

(01:23:10):
minimum wage, let's deal this one real quick. Why not thirty?
Why not fifty? Because and then they would say, oh,
that's absurd. It's say, okay, it's absurd. Why it's absurd
Because at some point the cost is too high for
the business to even be able to function at all.

(01:23:32):
And so then you say, well, and I haven't even
brought up how well, in some cases maybe they it'll
be good for workers, But then you're just passing the
costs on to the consumer. So I mean, the money
is coming from somewhere, because ultimately the cost is the cost. Ultimately,
the market has determined what the cost of labor is
for a certain kind of job in a certain place.

(01:23:52):
And you know, you're either going to accept that and
let the market determine it, or you're going to make
a determination external to those market forces, based upon what
you think is fair, what you think is right, based
upon you know, what people feel really, which is what
this is. Bernie Sander fifteen dollars an hour. You know,

(01:24:13):
that's just a number that he's picked out of out
of the air. I mean, you could do this with
any number of things. What would happen if you said,
you know what, guys, let's just make let's just make
all you know, you can't have a in a part,
or you can't have a house that is you know,
two bedrooms are less that cost more than one hundred

(01:24:35):
thousand dollars. Okay, well, in some places maybe that wouldn't
be such a big deal. But in most places it
will be a huge problem across the country. And what
would happen if you set that artificial price for housing?
You would have massive housing shortages. Builders wouldn't be able
to you know, wouldn't be able to make a profit.
They wouldn't be able you know, you get on the
whole list. Right. There are all these There are forces

(01:24:56):
that are at work beyond just the dictates of the
government when it comes to decisions like this. And yet
Bernie Sanders pretends that it can just be a decision
made by government in this way. Yeah, I'm not saying that.
You know that they raise a minimum wage, everything, everything's
gonna be catastrophic and then everyone's gonna go out of business. No,
of course not. But there will be problems that come

(01:25:18):
from this. And it doesn't also deal with some of
the underlying issues of well if somebody, if someone's labor
is worth seven fifty an hour and we start paying
them fifteen dollars an hour, it doesn't deal with you, well,
what about the fact that labor is only worth seven
dollars and fifty cents an hour? This is what pushes
people to automation companies. I mean to automation. This is
what has other forces that are at work that you

(01:25:39):
don't necessarily see, just based on the take home pay
of certain people that are affected by minum wage. Anyway,
this is it's another one democrat idea. But people like
this one minimum wage. You gotta have a minimum wage,
all right, and then there's equal pay. I don't know
how to really deal with this other than just say

(01:26:00):
it's a lie. They know it's a lie. They don't care.
They keep saying that, you know, equal pay is a
problem that needs to be dealt with via legislation. They
keep saying that equal pay is something that the government
must take action on. The reality is that whenever you
look at a study of this, whenever you see people

(01:26:21):
really crunching the numbers, women are not paid less for
doing the same work as men. That's just not how
that's not how employment works. There's not the reality of
the employment market. Because if you had, first of all,
you have more women graduating from college right now, for example,
and you do men. So there's already an enormous influx

(01:26:45):
of college educated females into the workplace all across the country.
If you line up the comparison, so that's apples to apples.
You'll see that this just isn't there's no, it is
not rooted in reality. But you can also just look
at it and say, well, if I could save thirty percent,
this is the quickest way, the same way that I

(01:27:05):
know that climate change is nonsense, the way the Libs
talk about it and set it up, because they're not
going to sell me. They're not going to sell me
a house in Malibu for a fraction of the cost
right now because of climate change right on the beach, man,
that water is gonna be rising really fast. If we're
gonna be all dead or are starting in well, not
all dead quite in twelve years, but if we're on

(01:27:25):
a path to the eradication of the species in twelve years,
that's not very long. You're gonna be along the coastline.
That's gonna be a big problem. Right. No, when it
comes down to it, when the truth of what they
say is a disadvantage to them, they ignore what they
are saying. When you take it to its logical lens,
it no longer matters. With equal pay, you can have

(01:27:46):
a similar experiment. All you do is say, okay, well,
if I can save thirty percent of my labor costs.
And I'm a aggressive capitalist, somebody who wants to make
a lot of money, who wants my business to behind
the effective. You know what I do. I just hire
only women. They're doing the same work. It'd be great.
I mean, I love producer Mark, but if we could

(01:28:09):
cut thirty percent of the labor costs by getting somebody
just who happens to be the female producer Mark to
come in here, and we cut thirty percent of the salary,
that would be a pretty enticing thing for executives. By
the way, we Marquette, what would we call her? I'm
not sure. Yeah, do I have to get a gender
reassignment to keep my job? Now? I'm just telling you,

(01:28:29):
man that if we could save thirty percent, you'd fire
me in a second. I mean, I'm not saying I would,
but somebody would. If we could save thirty percent on
you you know, and it's true of me too. If
they could have female Buck doing the radio show, same show, true,
same host, same numbers, you know, same same sponsorships and
money coming in the show, they say thirty percent, of
course they would find you know, it would be crazy nuts.

(01:28:50):
Just get a male or female worse than us us. Yeah,
but people don't do this, And the reason they don't
do this is because the underlying premise is not true.
I don't like premise being that, you know, women are
just paid less because they're women, because there's this patriarchy
and all this stuff. But it's something that sounds good
at Democrats, so they keep saying it even though the
reality is not what they offer up. The reality is

(01:29:12):
not what they say. And at some point, you know,
we just have to look at this and say, when
is when is the meeting? Was? When is the meeting?
In the met is never gonna call them out of this.
I'm never gonna say, oh, we we've finally, we finally
figured out that we should stop being so dishonest about this.
No, no no, no, of course, not because they have an agenda, folks.

(01:29:32):
They're activists, not journalists. Thanks for listening to The Bus
Sesson Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, team Buck,

(01:29:55):
it's time for roll call. It is indeed time for
roll call, as the gentleman announced there for us, which
we always appreciate. So let's get right to it Facebook
dot com, slash buck Sexton to have your your voice
heard here on the show, or Team Bucket. iHeartMedia dot com.

(01:30:17):
We do want to do a merch store. We want
to do more Shields High podcasts on History. We're gonna
set up a YouTube channel. I got a book that's
coming out. We gotta have more people. Watch Pluto TV
Channel two forty Channel two forty eight, the first. The
first is the best channel on Pluto TV. There there's
a lot of channel on Pluto TV. You could check out.
You should be watching the first on Pluto TV. It's

(01:30:40):
just because I had a break and I've been sick
for like ten days. I'm finally now you can hear
my voice is pretty normal. I had a cold that
just would not would not stop, and went through these
phases where I thought I was like almost better, and
then something else would hurt and be bad, and ugh,
I know, woe is me. Jane kicks it off here.
Hey Buck, I love you and wish we had lots

(01:31:02):
more little Bucks. Whoa hey, oh spicy in the Freedom Hunt.
But I keep Christmas decorations up until Twelfth Night, which
is January sixth, the time the King's visited Jesus in
the manger. I think this is about the same time
the Greek Orthodox celebrate Christmas. Jane I had my I

(01:31:22):
had a little mini Christmas tree, which some people say
it might be sad, but it's not sacks. In New
York City, you're in a mini apartment, you gotta have
a mini Christmas tree. I had a mini tree. And
the tree came down yesterday, so you know, I kept
it for a while. I kept it into the New Year,
but a little bit. But it started to get to
the point where it was dried out and all the

(01:31:43):
little um a little pine needles were falling off of
it all over the place. So that's no fun. Can't
can't have a messy a messy freedom hunt. So we
had to get rid of it. But good, good things
all around, good things, good things, Mike, Nancy Pelosi is
going to sit on the impeachment paperwork until she knows

(01:32:03):
for sure that Trump is going to win the election.
Then she'll pull out the impeachment paperwork and attempt to
keep him from serving another term. What do you think?
Check out Memories of the Alhambra. It's on Netflix from
Mike um Mike I don't know. I don't know if
that's I gotta think about that a little bit. That's possible,

(01:32:27):
It's possible. I think she look, I still obviously have
made my made my bet, made my bed, so to speak.
I think that she's going to have to transmit them
at some point. I don't think she can trans meet them.
It sounds like Vladimir trans meet this to Vladimir from Medvedev.
It seems to me like she has no choice eventually.
But maybe I'm wrong. Usually when I say that though
I'm not as you guys know, so like the sort

(01:32:49):
of false humility of maybe I'm wrong, it usually works
out of my favor. Boo. Yeah, uh, let's see what
we have next in the mix here, Oh in Alhambray.
I'll check that out on Netflix, you know to do that.
Kenneth south Front ran a story on the Ukrainian Armed
Forces back in December. When the discussing the Javelin anti

(01:33:09):
tank guided missiles, they stated that these have yet to
be used in combat and seen to be held in reserve. Well, Kenneth,
this has come up before they are held in reserve
because now there's an understanding with the Russian with the
Russian provision of armored personnel carriers and tanks and things

(01:33:30):
that they will be destroyed if they are used in
an offensive capacity. So it's kind of like the assurance
of destruction from knowing that they have and can deploy
these missiles to destroy armor has neutralized the advantage, the
clear advantage that the Russian backed Ukrainian separatists had from

(01:33:51):
having Russian provided armor, if that makes sense. So just
knowing that they are there is a has now been
an impediment to their use. So that has been highly
highly effective in that regard. Let's see here we have
Kyle Buck. I appreciate Joe Biden simply for the comparison

(01:34:13):
he allows us to make look a President Trump is
actually being impeached for basically nothing. Now imagine what actually
happened was the FBI, on Trump's watch, used a false
foreign source as a predicate to get a secret visor
warrant to wiretap Hunter Biden's associates, and by virtue of
the two hop rule, listening on Joe Biden himself, heads
would explode. Great show is always merry Christmas, Thanks Kyle,

(01:34:34):
and indeed appreciate your analysis on that one. And yeah,
we have a more roll call for your listening enjoyment.
Here in just a moment, you're in. This is the
buck Sexton Show podcast, all right. And now here we
are with our continuation of the role call, which is

(01:34:58):
the best call and it's producer Mark's favorite call, becus
it means the show is almost over, which means he
gets to go back to Long Island and his new bride.
He gets to hang out, which is great. I of
course disappear to my my actual freedom hunt, which is
definitely a hut and not a castle, is a cozy, little,
cozy little joint. All right. We're doing the Facebook here,

(01:35:20):
Facebook dot com slash buck Sexton. That that's if you
want to send me your thoughts, you want to send
me what you got going on, please do. And we
get to it with Wendy, who writes, used to be
somebody voted for Dams like Carrie. No more. Now I'm
solidly a Trump supporter. Well, the good news, Wendy is

(01:35:45):
that we all make mistakes, but also we should all
be able to achieve some degree of forgiveness. Dare I
say some degree of you know, making amends. So I'm
glad you're a Trump supporter now God bless thank you
for sharing your thoughts here. We do appreciate it. And
um Buck on Friday's podcast, you had an echo on

(01:36:08):
your voice for the entire podcast and the iHeart app
shield high. Well, that sounds like shields low to me
at Producer Mark, What is going on here? Do we
know that this happened? I mean I can go back
and listen, but nothing changed, nothing changed on it. I
don't know, man, we gotta because I didn't hear that
from anybody else. So usually I will I take listen,

(01:36:29):
I will listen. We should actually have like a little
what we do. Want to set up a camera here
so you guys can see a producer Mark. That's that's
that's a Christmas present. I haven't given him yet, but
we're working on it. But we all want to set
up a little producer Mark complaint jar And every time
we get with these emails, you get a drop like
you know, drive a quarter in there or something. At
the end of the you know, we'll go out, we'll
get a lot of quotes, we'll go we'll get gluten

(01:36:50):
free Chinese food together at the end of the year
with the with the brucer Mark free Chinese food is
that it's good. It's just Chinese foods that doesn't have
But I can't think of anything Chinese food other than
like general so chicken or something. Chinese food is all gluten. Like,
it's all glutena soy sauce. Okay, So everything has either
flour or soy sauce or both. A lot of it

(01:37:12):
has both. But if you just replace the flour and
replace the soy sauce, then like nothing in Chinese food
has gluten because of the ingredients because rice rice is fine.
I was thinking like chicken and brocoli, but I forgot
about the soy sauce. Yeah, the soy sauce, and that's
where you get nailed um. So yeah, all but tamari sauce.
I've it tastes just like soy sauce. I cannot tell
the difference. And that's all. You change that and you're

(01:37:33):
good to go. It looks like soy sauce. Taste like
soy sauce. People think that they're like they think gluten
free is like fat free. Fat free is gross. Fat
free food is bad when they take the fat out
of food, very bad when they use fake sugar and
things very bad. Gluten free is just different. It's just different.
I would try gluten free Chinese food. No gluten free
pizza other than calif flower pizza not happening. Yeah, yeah,

(01:37:54):
well we'll make it happen. Richard Buck Happy, who's your hellos?
From the third shift? I would be at a great
Christmas and happy New Year's in a birthday. I want
to start to try and get your show added to
local talk radio show local talk radio station here in Raleigh.
Do you have any pointers on what to say or
who to talk to you at a radio station? Right now?
Nine pm to midnight slot is all podcasts, which would

(01:38:16):
be good if they were only your podcast? Is there
a certain person who decides radio programming? Keep up the
awesome work and shields high Well, Richard, You're certainly welcome
to write into you the local radio affiliate and request
that the person would be called the program director or
sometimes it's a station manager, depends on the station. But yeah,

(01:38:37):
the program director is usually the one who determines what
shows go where. And I would certainly love Raleigh's a
great town. I would love to be added to any station.
I don't are we on a station or Raleigh already though, No,
we're not, okay, So yeah, put us in Raleigh. That'd
be great, you know, Richard, get some of your buddies
to send an emails too, at least get us on
the radar of the folks there. But there you go.

(01:38:58):
Michael writes in with this has your name written all
over it. Wow. He sent a photo of big strips
of chocolate covered bacon. You know, we're just talking yesterday
about bacon bar in New York and how bacon can
even be mixed into ice cream. I have had at
I think it was Voodoo Donut in Portland, Oregon. I

(01:39:22):
had a maple glazed donut with bacon topping, which was
and this is when I used to eat luten. This
is right before I figured out I had Celiac disease.
It was amazing. I will say so when it's when
it's done properly, it's really good. I recently went to
a Brazilian steakhouse and you know how they have like
the salad bar, which isn't really salad. At a Brazilian steakhouse,

(01:39:44):
they had maple glazed bacon. Oh yeah, it was. That's amazing. Oh,
it's amazing. The best thing at the Trump International Hotel
in DC, which is actually a great hotel. It's really nice.
The best thing there is the bacon that they pull
out and they have it hanging almost like on a
clothes line, like you're getting your clothing to dry out

(01:40:04):
back in the day. And they take a little flame gun,
a little flamethrower like thing, and they in front of
you they sort of flamed the bacon, um, I guess
also known as cooking it. But no, there they flame
it and it's already been glazed with some sweet sauce.
It's worth the like twenty five bucks or whatever is
expensive that is. That is not a cheap hotel. Roger, Right,

(01:40:27):
it's looking forward another year, Buck, Roger. So are we man,
We're still here, Brucer Mark, producer Buck, we are still employed.
We got a producer Nick doing Overwatch for us. He's
kind of like our sniper from like, you know, from
behind the front assault team. You know, he's making he's like, oh,
doing Overwatch for us, making sure. Producer Mark is clearly
the machine gunner of this fire team. And you know,

(01:40:50):
I guess I'm the guy on point with the with
the M four by Producer Mark he's he's he's a
he's a heavy gunner, you know what I mean. We
got producer Nick doing the sniper situation and I'm I'm
a sault team kicking to the door. Taylor rights, How
is PBR? I've been to one. It's the best event

(01:41:10):
I've ever been to. It was constant entertainment and the
best of the best performers. UFC events are a close
second with the PBR stands out above the rest, you know, Taylor.
I mean, I talked to this a little bit yesterday,
but I'd say that, you know, PBR one of the
great things that has going for it is that the
people involved in it are like everyone's just there to

(01:41:32):
like have everyone's very support, everyone's there to have a
good time. It's a very unpretentious thing, very pretentious crowd.
You know. You go to a lot of these events now,
and I went to a Knicks game recently, and you
go to events and you'll see people and they're all
everyone's in like their corporate suites and there's people are
spending so much money on these events and so much

(01:41:53):
money to be there, and I mean, like PBR, it
just had a much more relaxed atmosphere. You know, the
security guards the more like it's PBR, go for it.
You know, you kind of move around, take photos. They
weren't checking your ticket stub every five seconds. It's just
a it's a very welcoming atmosphere because they just want

(01:42:13):
people to be there and check it out. And you know,
they got the guy who's the I don't know if
you call him the head clown, I don't know. My
dad is a wealth of knowledge about PBR, watches a
lot of PBR. Knows the riders. He actually gets very excited.
He knows quite a bit about the bulls I'm producing Mark.
I will tell you know that the bulls get a
score that the highest scores fifty points for the rider,
fifty points for the bull. The bull gets a score

(01:42:34):
as well. What kind of reward does the bull get? Um,
I don't know, actually that's a good question. But there
are bulls that are like the most formidable of the bulls,
So like do they advertise like see this bull and
Madison Square guard. People know that the bulls have cool names,
you know, and they there are bulls like horse racing,
like you're going to Belmont to see a specific horse. Now,

(01:42:56):
the horse is obviously the superstar, and the jockey no
one knows. I we know the jockey's names really big
into horse racing. People get I mean those are the
only people, but people will know because the horses also
get these cool names, like you know, I don't know Secretariat,
Yeah exactly, thank you for pulling one up there because
I was blanking out. But they have cool would you
recently had a triple crown winner? I could not tell

(01:43:17):
you the name of it. The horse, Yeah, it would
just be interesting to see, like what are the coolest
names that the horses have happened? They're very cool names. Yeah,
the bulls are. The riders are certainly more famous than
the bulls are. But the bulls get a they get
a score, and you know, there's a little bit also
of like there there is a certain degree of risk
and danger in this whole process too, and so when
sometimes the people get the riders get stomped on. You know,

(01:43:39):
there's a big background in of Brazilian riders. There's a
lot of Brazilians in PBRs. I think it is interesting.
They just have a culture of it there. I guess
it's kind of the almost like I know, Gauchos are
Argentine Argentine cowboys, but the gaucho and Brazilian version of
that whatever it's called. Um, they have a big tradition

(01:44:00):
it there. I did not know that. It's not just
a texting. Was not aware of that. Milliwauke A, which
means the good Land. Um so yeah, Well, Milwaukee's had
its fair share of visitors. Uh so, Yeah, I mean
PBR is really cool. I highly recommend you guys go
check it out. I had a great time there, and
it's if it's something you've never done, it's an experience
you should definitely have at some point. It's just fun.

(01:44:21):
It's fun to get, fun to go see. I've really
been making an effort recently to go see more stuff,
to go do more than in New York City. Yeah,
you know, I mean I'm just burning through like whatever,
you know, retirement money I would have right now going
to see like PBR and things like that. Just PBR.
You haven't seen any shows lately, you don't you live
right in that general? Oh I saw, I went, I

(01:44:42):
saw Mulin Rouge at about that. That is not what
I was expecting. That was, you know, I took a friend,
I meant like dear Evan Hansen, you know, come from
away stuff like that. Oh, like like what the prophisticated
like fancy, Well, Mulan Rouge is on Broadway. Oh yeah,
that's what I'm talking about. Oh, it's the Broadway production
of it. Yeah, oh yeah, I didn't. I didn't ow.
I was like sitting there by myself taking notes. Seem

(01:45:03):
if I lived in Manhattan, I would just be doing
all the lotteries constantly and like just trying to win
stuff so I could get cheap show. How do you
do that? There's online services where you sign up online
and if you win the lottery, you get an email
and you got twenty dollars tickets or however. It's different
for every show, but really like the Hamilton lottery is
the cheapest but hardest to win. Huh. I haven't seen Hamilton.

(01:45:24):
I haven't either. I kind of want to see it,
just because I have a feeling that I may not
like it, and I don't think you're gonna like it
very much. I have a feeling I'm probably not going
to be that just given all the hype around here.
History buff so you would get the stuff you get it? Yeah? Correct?
I also, you know, I saw The Book of Mormon,
which people thought was so so funny. I mean, it's
clever in some parts, but it was like, there's so

(01:45:44):
much cursing. It was so profane. And I'm not somebody
who you know, cursing like anything else. You know, it's
like explosions in movies, Like I can handle some cursing.
I can handle some explosions in movies. When every three
seconds it's another boom bang boom, you know, it just
turns into any come up, you know what you expected? Yeah, yeah,
there's just a lot of I don't know. It was
not really as good as I thought. Have you seen
Come from Away? No, that was a story of the

(01:46:07):
Canadian city that got all the planes on nine to
eleven when they grounded everyone, and they made it into
like like they were amazingly hospitable and like it's a musical.
One of the best shows overseen. I teared up at
the end, and you know, I'm a yeah, yeah, I
gotta check that out. Come from Away, Come from Away.
I think it won the Tony for Best Musical a
couple of years ago. All Right, I gotta like I

(01:46:28):
gotta find the future and missus Sexton and take her
too if I gotta find her first, But then I
gotta come from away. Okay, Okay, I know there's options there.
We'll figure it out. Producer Mark, you're you're a trouble baker.
All right, that's gonna be it for today's show. I
hope you've all enjoyed everything going on here in the
Freedom Hunt as always, and we'll be back with you tomorrow,
same time, same place. Tell us somebody about the show.

(01:46:50):
Pass the buck please, she'll tie
