You are entering the freedom
0:12
hunt. The
0:15
Jesse Smollett hoax has collapsed.
0:18
He was arrested and arraigned
0:20
today in court. Why did
0:22
the media get this one so wrong?
0:24
And what does it tell us about hate crimes
0:27
that there are now those who are saying
0:29
Smollett might just get off with probation
0:32
at thatt Amore Coming up on the buck Sexton Show.
0:35
This is the buck Sexton
0:37
Show where the mission where mission is
0:39
to decode what really matters with
0:41
actionable intelligence. Make
0:45
no mistake America. You're
0:47
a great American again. The buck Sexton
0:49
Show begins, analysts,
0:53
he's a great guy. Now
0:58
they are looking for two suspect who are apparently
1:00
wearing make America Great Again hats.
1:03
We don't know what happened to Jesse, but what we do know
1:05
is that racism is alive
1:07
and well in this country. There is real evidence
1:10
of people who have done these crimes who cite that the President has
1:12
inspired. Then Senator Corey Booker said,
1:15
the vicious attack when actor Jesse was
1:17
an attempt at modern day lynching a Hollywood
1:20
star who's black and gay and now
1:22
the victim of a heinish crime, not
1:24
of that attack at a star of a TV show, Empire.
1:27
Jesse Smollett from the hit show
1:29
Empire was attacked and beaten early
1:31
this morning in Chicago, and police
1:33
say it could be a hate crime. I'm so shaken by
1:35
the story. I know he walked himself to the hospital.
1:38
Do we know how he is now? Connect the dots.
1:40
This is what happens if you are in a position
1:43
of power and you hate people, and
1:45
this is America. In twenty nineteen, he
1:48
opened up about what he's learned and the
1:50
bigger message he wants the world to hear.
1:52
How can you doubt that? How
1:55
do you not believe that it's the truth. And
1:57
then it became a thing of like, oh,
2:00
it's not necessarily that you don't believe
2:02
that this is the truth. You don't even
2:05
want to see the truth.
2:08
Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Sorry,
2:11
we had to start out there with just lies
2:14
and falsehoods and more
2:16
lies and more, all of it false,
2:19
all of that stuff that we were being
2:21
told there by the media, some of the
2:24
biggest platforms in the country,
2:26
some of the most self loving
2:29
journals around, big
2:32
big fans of spreading
2:35
this hoax around there. That's
2:37
what they did. Man,
2:40
it is interesting to be right
2:42
here, I am. Let's just do a
2:45
quick count of where we are team
2:47
versus where the mainstream media is Cavanaugh,
2:50
Covington, Smallett.
2:53
Can they point to any conservative
2:55
hoaxes in the last year. I just wanted
2:57
to where's the big conservative hoax? Or we
2:59
were on this show. I was like, well this
3:01
happened, and no, it didn't happen. My bad ah
3:07
was never never brought up.
3:10
Didn't happen? Did it? Yet?
3:12
Here we are, there's so much
3:14
going on here. Oh, we're gonna have
3:16
some fun on this story. So smallt
3:19
was. Smallett
3:22
was arrested taking down a court
3:24
Today, he's out on a hundred thousand
3:27
dollars bail. And
3:30
you had a member
3:32
of the Chicago PD, I believe it was
3:34
Police chief came Eddie Johnson
3:36
came out today and he lets
3:39
Smollett have it play
3:42
eleven
3:44
attempted to gain attention by sending a false
3:47
letter that relied on racial, homophobic,
3:50
and political language. When that didn't
3:52
work, it's let pay thirty five
3:54
hundred dollars to stage this
3:56
attack and drag Chicago's reputation
3:59
through the mud in the process. And why
4:01
this stunt was orchestrated by Smolette
4:04
because he was dissatisfied with his salary,
4:06
so he concocted a story about being attacked
4:09
to put the national spotlight on Chicago
4:12
for something that is both egregious
4:14
and untrue. Is simply shameful.
4:17
I'm also concerned about what
4:19
this means moving forward to hate
4:21
crimes. Of my concern is that hate
4:23
crimes will now publicly be met with a
4:25
level of skepticism that previously
4:27
didn't happen. Now,
4:30
let's just look at some of the details before we go
4:33
too far to the analysis here. Let's do some of the
4:35
details. Smolett.
4:38
I guess that is how we say his name, I've been Smolett
4:40
Smolet. Perhaps if we wouldn't get
4:43
kind of a French vibe there messieurs Smolet.
4:46
But no, it's it's Smolette. He
4:51
has engaged in, according to police, now
4:54
two to hate
4:56
crime hoaxes. One was sending a letter to
4:58
himself with threatening, threatening
5:01
stuff and racial
5:03
slurs, and then
5:06
this even bigger hoax involving
5:10
a three thousand dollars plus
5:13
payment to two brothers
5:15
who were helping him to stage
5:17
in attack. Some details
5:20
that I think you should know about, though. One
5:22
is that Smolette paid
5:24
the brothers with a check.
5:28
That's right, the thirty five hundred dollars
5:30
was paid via check. Now,
5:33
I'm not some arch criminal, Okay,
5:35
I'm not somebody that you know. I
5:37
don't even like getting a speeding ticket. I stay
5:39
inside the law. But I'm telling you this
5:42
much. If I
5:44
were trying to engage in some illegal
5:47
activity of this kind to
5:49
stage some kind of an elaborate hoax, I
5:52
think I'd pay cash. I just
5:55
think that's a better move than
5:57
to leave an obvious financial
6:00
she'll trail to your co conspirators. I'm
6:02
just putting that out there. Probably
6:05
a good move. Also, since
6:08
since we're gonna break down, I'm sorry,
6:10
this is the dumbest hate crime hoax that
6:12
I that I've heard
6:14
of or seen in years. I mean, there's some
6:17
very dumb ones out there, but this one
6:19
is. Wow. Smolette
6:24
is not exactly an
6:26
evil genius. So
6:29
he paid these kys via check.
6:33
I wonder how he's gonna explain that one to the cops I
6:35
saw today, As lawyers say, he's looking forward to clearing
6:37
his name. Yeah,
6:39
how are you gonna do that? Exactly? But
6:42
the two guys that he the two
6:44
brothers that he paid
6:46
to help
6:49
him in this attack, which is also I would
6:51
note, an enormous, an
6:54
enormous mistake. The osund Row brothers,
6:56
Olah and Abel, they
7:00
went into a hardware store and
7:03
bought masks,
7:07
red hats, and rope
7:09
for the quote noose and
7:12
they did this on video.
7:16
I've also heard that they had the
7:18
magazines that they used to cut the letters
7:21
out of to create there. But I'm
7:23
sure there's DNA in it, by the way, I
7:25
mean, if they're showing up on video buying
7:27
this stuff, they probably paid with credit card
7:30
too. I mean, I just these guys. This
7:32
is the most
7:34
bumbling, buffoonish
7:37
hoax hate crime imaginable. And
7:39
yet look how long it took for the media to finally
7:42
turn this around. Look
7:44
how long before they were willing to say, you know what,
7:46
maybe we made some kind of a mistake here,
7:49
maybe there's maybe there's an issue. And
7:52
now they're saying, well that the Democrats
7:54
who were initially jumping in are saying, ah,
7:56
we might have made we might have made a little mistake here.
7:59
We might have Kamala Harris Kirston
8:02
Jilla Brand, who
8:04
I really enjoyed Tucker's monologue
8:07
last not on his show, on Kirston Jill brand Worth
8:09
going back and seeing if you haven't worre Mache's
8:11
just a nasty phony, just
8:13
an out and out phony.
8:16
But Democrats don't mind that kind of stuff. But
8:19
Jilla brand and Harris and Booker,
8:21
they've all come out and sure
8:24
enough after
8:26
saying that this was terrible
8:28
and oh it's Trump's fault and all this stuff, now I'm like,
8:30
yeah, you know, maybe you
8:33
know, maybe we should have waited a little bit, Maybe we should
8:35
wait for the facts. Now, Oh, wait for the facts
8:38
now. Okay, okay,
8:42
that's interesting. Let's
8:44
give you some more facts. Since they want to wait
8:47
for facts, here's the police chief, Eddie
8:49
Johnson, talking about more of the stuff
8:52
that they have. Play eleven. Oh,
8:57
I'm sorry, Play ten. This
9:00
case, in particular involved
9:02
hours of video evidence, which,
9:04
when combined with old fashioned police work,
9:06
uncovered the truth. These
9:09
detectives deserve all the credit
9:11
in the world for carefully analyzing the leads
9:14
and the evidence for weeks before coming
9:16
to their conclusion. I'd
9:18
also like to thank the FBI for
9:20
their helping this investigation. I
9:22
only hope that the truth about
9:24
what happened receives the same amount
9:27
of attention that the Hopes did. I'll
9:30
continue to pray for its troubled
9:32
young man who resorted to both
9:34
drastic and illegal tactics
9:37
to gain attention. We
9:40
know that it won't receive the same amount of attention
9:42
though. We know that
9:44
the multi
9:47
billion dollars news media apparatus
9:49
in this country is going to
9:51
find a way to quickly, as
9:53
quickly as possible, move right
9:56
past this story because their audience
9:58
doesn't want to hear about this. Their
10:00
audience want to be told, hey, crimes
10:03
are rising, Hey crimes
10:05
are rising, And I say, wow,
10:08
where on what time
10:10
frame? What kind of crimes
10:13
attributable to whom? When
10:15
you actually look at the numbers, what you find out, by the
10:18
way, is that the single single
10:20
group that suffers religious group that suffers
10:23
the greatest amount of hate crimes, for example, is anti
10:27
submiticate crimes. But the
10:29
left is not that they don't turn those
10:31
into national news stories. Generally,
10:34
this is a national
10:37
news story, a black gay
10:39
actor attacked by Trump's
10:41
supporters. It couldn't have been more
10:44
perfect. It's it's like this was concocted,
10:47
this whole story by a
10:49
couple of you know, undergrad
10:52
film majors covered with hashtag
10:54
resistance tattoos in some you
10:57
know coffee shop in Los Angeles. I mean,
10:59
this should not have ever even nobody
11:03
should have ever thought that this was a good
11:05
plan and this made any
11:07
sense, and that Jesse Smollett,
11:10
who or Smolette who is an actor,
11:12
couldn't have come up with a more convincing
11:15
story. I don't know, I haven't
11:17
seen him in the show Empire, but you can't
11:19
be a very good actor. I'm just guessing the
11:22
cops thought that this might have been a hoax from the beginning.
11:24
They tried to give him the benefit of the
11:26
doubt. Play
11:28
thirteen here, John Well,
11:32
to be perfectly honest, from the very
11:34
beginning, we had some questions about
11:36
it, but as I said, we gave
11:38
mister Smolett the benefit of the doubt
11:41
all the way up until that forty seventh hour
11:44
of the forty eight hours, we could hold those two individuals
11:46
because we just didn't have the total
11:48
package to support that it was a hoax.
11:51
So when you heard me coming out saying we
11:53
are treating him like a victim, that
11:55
was the truth, because at that time that's
11:58
what he was speaking
12:01
of. Victims. You know who Smilette victimized
12:04
here, not just the millions of Trump supporters
12:06
across the country who knew that
12:09
their reputations collectively
12:11
were being tarnished. You
12:13
know that this was always meant to be a
12:16
judgment on all of us, those who vote
12:18
for Trump, who support Trump, who believe in
12:21
his promise to make America great again. We
12:23
were the bad guys. That's
12:26
what was at the heart of this. But
12:29
the people that really suffered are the people of Chicago,
12:31
with the over a dozen law
12:34
enforcement officers who were
12:36
assigned to this. When
12:38
you have a city that has a terrible
12:40
violence problem and a very
12:43
high unsolved murder rate to
12:46
bring those kinds of police resources, I've
12:48
seen estimates that this might have even cost in terms
12:50
of police man hours, hundreds
12:52
of thousands of dollars, hundreds
12:55
of thousands of dollars spent so
12:57
that this clown Smolette
13:02
could turn himself into
13:04
some kind of cause celeb
13:07
turn himself into not just a celebrity,
13:09
but that rarefied and oh
13:11
so desirable
13:14
on the left, victimized
13:16
celebrity, special
13:19
category, social justice
13:21
approved celebrity.
13:24
Oh what could be more wonderful
13:27
than that? But
13:30
he was upset. He
13:33
was upset with his salary on the show
13:35
and thought if he got more attention, he would
13:37
make more money. So Smolette
13:40
is a narcissist,
13:43
an idiot, and a
13:45
bratt Think
13:47
of how many people rushed to
13:49
his aid to believe him, to
13:51
run interference for him. Think
13:53
of how this became a national news
13:55
story. None
13:58
of the kids who have been shot in chicag I go
14:00
in the last thirty or sixty days, none
14:02
of them have turned into national news stories. Lives
14:05
lost, family shattered. That that doesn't
14:07
get the media's attention. This a
14:10
guy who I also read today,
14:12
created his own wound. I
14:15
mean that little scratch on his face. If
14:17
two guys poured bleach
14:20
on you and put a noose around
14:22
your neck and manage to do that, and
14:24
we're trying to hurt you, I think you'd have more than a tiny
14:26
little scratch on your cheek. I mean it looked like he cut
14:28
himself shaving. Whose
14:33
terrible attack. You know it
14:35
was all a lie. It was all
14:37
a lie. And I know that there are
14:39
other things in the country we should focus on, and we will
14:41
shortly, But today is when the whole thing finally
14:44
came crashing down. So you'll have to excuse
14:46
me if I have a moment here to just say, isn't
14:49
it good to be right? Team?
14:52
You listen to this show. I don't have a I don't
14:54
have a hundred reporters. I don't have
14:56
some huge newsroom at my beck and
14:58
call and everything else. I just read
15:00
and think and analyze and
15:03
bring all of the knowledge and all the assistance
15:06
that I can from all of you who listen into
15:08
that process. And somehow we know. We
15:11
knew this was garbage. That's
15:13
why we kept doing the Jessie Small and updates as
15:15
we went along. Year up, it looks pretty bad.
15:19
So we were right and they were wrong. The fake
15:21
news can't figure it out, but we can. We
15:23
should do a little victory dance, and you know what today
15:25
is victory dance Day. We'll be right back. Can
15:31
we be honest? But to certain
15:34
groups of people, even
15:36
if they were skeptical there, like they said, I
15:38
hope this is not true. Black folks,
15:41
gay folks, people are
15:43
like, oh my god, I hope you
15:45
know why. And you know why black folks,
15:47
gay folks say that because they are real
15:49
victims of well, because there are real victims
15:52
of homophobia and of racism,
15:55
but also because unfortunately we tend
15:57
to all be painted with the same brush when
15:59
one person and does wrong. And
16:01
that's why we always say that when something goes
16:03
wrong, is we hope the person is not black, We
16:06
hope the person is not gay. Yeah, I
16:09
don't agree with a lot of people
16:11
that are out there saying that this,
16:13
this hurts the victims of real hate crimes,
16:15
because real hate crimes are
16:17
crimes, right, great, No
16:20
one, no one hears a story about
16:22
you know, some some bad person
16:25
somewhere who are you know, No one
16:27
hears a story about some bad person who attacks
16:30
you know, a woman because she's you
16:32
know, wearing a her job or because you
16:34
know, and says, well, that can't be true.
16:37
And if it is true, everyone wants the person punished.
16:40
But those are those are real. And look, there are
16:42
a lot of hoaxes out there too that involve things like that. But
16:45
you know, though those are real things. I
16:47
don't. I don't agree with this, This completely
16:51
implausible story that Jesse Smollett,
16:54
you know, fool the media into into
16:56
believing somehow now undermines everybody.
16:59
No, you know, if someone
17:01
says something terrible and racist and punches somebody
17:03
in the face outside of a restaurant
17:05
somewhere. My first reaction is I'm like, oh,
17:07
that's terrible. You know, I wonder did the police get them?
17:09
What happened? When someone says
17:12
that, you know they had two Maga hot
17:14
wearing noose carrying
17:17
you know, this is Maga Country
17:19
yelling guys in Chicago at two o'clock
17:22
in the morning. You know, No, it
17:24
just wasn't incredible. It was
17:26
incredible. Don
17:29
Lemons also he said that he's been texting,
17:32
you know, he's over at CNN. I used to dude, Don show
17:34
a fair amountain then I wised up. It's
17:37
texting frequently with Smolette.
17:40
Doesn't that impact the coverage? I
17:42
mean I always say if someone's a friend,
17:44
not because I'm like the person's my friend, but because
17:46
I want you to know that if there's someone I have to talk about
17:48
here on the show that I have any kind of personal
17:50
relationship with, I think you should at least know that.
17:53
And as you know, I also don't trash my friends.
17:55
I have a rule. I don't trash friends on
17:58
air, but or
18:00
even particularly harshly criticize
18:02
them.
18:05
That said, why is it okay for Don Lemon
18:07
to have a personal relationship with this guy and do stories
18:09
on him night after night on the show. I'm
18:12
just wondering, well, where are the journal is
18:15
John? Is Don Lemon a journalist? Is
18:18
any mean Don Lemon? Is he a journalist?
18:20
Does CNN have a Can they give us an official
18:22
ruling on that? I mean, he's obviously not, but I just want
18:24
to know if CNN is delusional
18:27
enough to think that he is. Eight four four
18:29
nine hundred two eight two five. Let's open up those lines,
18:31
team, tell much to think about this small Lett
18:33
situation. Eight four four nine hundred
18:36
two eight two five eight four four nine hundred
18:38
buck light him up. I
18:42
know, Jesse, I love him. We have to
18:44
understand this is happening for
18:47
a reason. Why all of a sudden do
18:49
we have people unable to study well,
18:51
black, unable to mo alan
18:53
while black, unable to have a picnic while
18:56
black, and being attacked. It's coming
18:58
from the President of the United States, Dog
19:00
Whistlin. Every day he's separating
19:03
and dividing, and he is
19:05
basically embolding those folks.
19:09
This is the problem with the
19:13
approach that the Democrat politicians
19:16
and the media take to these situations where they just say,
19:18
well, we're gonna go all in on what
19:20
we want it to be, what we want to be
19:22
true, and then if we're proven to
19:24
be completely and utterly wrong, which they have been,
19:27
yeah, maybe we'll walk it back a little bit, or we'll
19:29
just move on to something else. And the
19:32
media will say, Okay, maybe we got that wrong,
19:34
but you know, no big
19:36
deal. The problem is that
19:38
there is lasting damage that
19:41
is created from the propagation
19:44
of the lie. There
19:47
you had Maxiine Waters, very well known
19:49
member of Congress. I believe she's on
19:51
the now. She
19:53
might be running the finance
19:57
I ever forget, not not the oversight
19:59
Committe, it's some kind of financial committee.
20:01
I forget what a producer, Mike, we let me know what it is. She's
20:04
a She's on a pretty important committee in Congress now
20:06
because the Democrats obviously control the House. But
20:09
she just went through this whole thing of essentially
20:12
telling any any person listening,
20:15
and I think it would resonate, particularly with Black
20:18
Americans, that
20:21
you know, you can't quote study while black,
20:24
have a picnic while black. All
20:27
these she says all these things, and
20:30
it's reckless for her to say these things because
20:33
it's just not true. What she's
20:35
saying is not true, and Jessie the
20:37
the lie that he told. Even if it were true,
20:39
it wouldn't prove all these things that she says. But
20:43
people will hear Maxi and Waters
20:46
using this incident in
20:49
order to create this
20:51
this storyline about how America
20:53
is still so racist. I mean, the left is so
20:55
invested in making
20:58
Americans believe but we are a uniquely
21:01
and deeply and irredeemably
21:04
racist country that
21:06
there's a desperation to find racism
21:09
all the time. I would just
21:11
note that if we were so racist, it wouldn't
21:13
be so hard to find real instances
21:16
of national news level racism.
21:19
They would not have to make it
21:21
up. And that's why I read do You Last No?
21:24
Earlier this week that string.
21:26
She's the House Financial Services She's the chairman
21:29
of the House Financial Services Committee. Maxie Waters,
21:31
Yeah, that was the one. So
21:35
I read you that string of hoaxes because
21:38
I don't want any of you to think, because you'll
21:40
hear it in the media. Oh hey, crimes are on the rise
21:42
and hoaxes are rare. M Actually
21:44
not true. Why
21:47
would there ever be a hoax of this kind? It's
21:50
so strange, how many hoax burglaries.
21:52
Do you know of how many hoax
21:54
you know? Go down the list where where do the hoaxes
21:56
occur? Usually where there's some political incentive,
21:59
which then to among
22:02
the dumbest questions of all that will
22:04
be asked now and you will see
22:06
people asking this question. I guarantee
22:09
it. Why would he do
22:11
this? Why would JUSSI
22:14
do this? He has he has nothing
22:16
to gain. Where have you heard this before?
22:18
By the way, he
22:20
has nothing. Oh, just like how Christine
22:23
blasi Ford, another fabricator,
22:27
had nothing to gain.
22:31
Hm, she had lots
22:33
to gain. Actually, as we know, Smollett
22:38
clearly thought he had a lot to gain from
22:40
this, and for the first few
22:42
weeks he did national news story sympathetic
22:45
anchors, He sat down with Robin
22:47
Roberts at ABC, and
22:50
you know became he became a trending
22:53
topic on social media. Everybody
22:56
was you know, he had he had future president
22:59
or current presidential candidates jumping
23:03
forward to come to Jesse's
23:06
defense. Everybody
23:09
knows that this can also
23:11
result not just in the elevation of your
23:13
profile, but the acceleration of
23:15
your career and
23:17
the enrichment of
23:19
your bank accounts. Look at Colin Kaepernick.
23:23
Colin Kaepernick was past his prime
23:25
NFL quarterback. The people
23:28
that I know who know football, that I trust, I've talked about
23:30
this many times before, and they're like, the guy, he just wasn't
23:32
that good. And he was
23:34
doing something with his taking of the knee
23:37
and his pig socks for cops.
23:40
He was doing stuff that alienated the
23:42
audience. And guess what, No
23:44
one has a civil right to be a professional
23:46
football player. No one has
23:48
a guarantee that they get to be a multi
23:50
millionaire athlete. It is
23:53
entertainment. If your movies
23:55
stink, you don't get to be in more
23:57
movies. At least you shouldn't be If people
23:59
don't want to watch you on a football field, doesn't
24:01
matter how good you are, you're
24:03
a liability. And Kaepernick wasn't that
24:06
good. Pebel didn't
24:08
want him. Oh
24:10
but then he turned into a social justice
24:12
hero and now he's a major
24:14
Nike figure and there's all these
24:16
campaigns out there for millions and millions
24:19
more dollars because
24:21
of essentially his agitation.
24:25
No policy has changed because of Kaepernick.
24:27
Then nothing, There's been no benefit
24:30
of what Kaepernick has done. Oh, he started
24:33
a conversation on race we have conversations
24:35
on race all the time. I mean, that was one
24:37
of the one of the most insane things of many
24:39
things that Attorney General Eric
24:42
Holder back in the Obama day said was, you know,
24:44
we're cowards when it comes to race. We don't have talks
24:46
about race. The left
24:48
wants to talk about race pretty much all day, all the
24:50
time. If you turn on MSNBC
24:53
or CNN. Other than
24:55
the Russia collusion delusion,
24:57
their favorite thing to talk about is race number
25:01
one. And I was a
25:03
contributor at CNN. I
25:06
knows I come to you, I come
25:08
to you with with
25:11
with stories of abuse
25:13
and gas lighting and all kinds of stuff
25:16
from being over there. But I remember
25:18
when the Black Lives Matter
25:21
movement based on Mike
25:23
Brown and all that that was really
25:25
a that was the biggest news
25:27
story in the country. They were running
25:29
stories on it all the time, and they couldn't
25:32
get enough of it because they thought their audience couldn't get
25:34
enough of it. Meanwhile,
25:36
the fact that Mike Brown attacked a cop and
25:39
got shot after he you
25:41
know, robbed a store a few minutes before.
25:43
I mean, the guy, the guys who the
25:45
guy is a thug is
25:47
apparently know how to say that. That's not they don't like even
25:50
though thugs come from the Thugy
25:52
cult in India, occult based
25:54
on strangulation that some estimates go
25:57
as high as killed in the high
25:59
hundreds of thousands of people. It
26:01
was a religious cult. It's actually the Thugy cult
26:03
in India is the loosely
26:06
the basis for the
26:08
evil cult in Indiana Jones and
26:10
the Temple of Doom Boom,
26:14
Did your mind just explode? But
26:17
the Thugie cult was nineteenth
26:19
century and the British
26:22
authorities were the ones who rooted it out.
26:25
But that's where the term thug comes from. And
26:28
we're not supposed to say thug though, So you could say Mike Brown
26:30
was a hooligan? Is that
26:32
better a ruffian? You
26:36
know, a vandal?
26:39
You know, I don't know. You have to sort of
26:41
pick your your term. That won't all of a sudden be
26:43
oh, you can't use that term. He was treated
26:45
like a martyr of some kind of movement and
26:48
CNN would run these stories night after night after
26:50
night. It was it was they
26:52
were complicit in racial
26:55
Mike producer Mike comes up with a good word
26:57
for him, Well done, Mike, a criminal
27:00
Mike Brown a criminal who
27:02
got shot. Thank you, Mike, well
27:04
played any time. Yeah.
27:06
So they they held this
27:09
up as oh, you know, this, this
27:11
movement and it's going to change police relations.
27:13
This was when you had the first black president
27:15
in office, and yet still we're told, so the
27:17
country is so racist, it's so terrible. And
27:20
I would just say, as I point to these hoaxes,
27:23
if the country's so racist, why
27:27
must they elevate a hoax
27:29
in this way? Why must the left
27:31
do this? If the country were so
27:34
racist and police were so racist
27:36
in particular, why is
27:38
the center of the biggest political
27:40
movement about police violence
27:43
an individual who was
27:46
lawfully shot by an officer defending
27:49
himself. That
27:52
that's that's the that's the person you're going to
27:54
build a movement around. And
27:58
again, the agitation here
28:01
is clear that the purposes of this is not to create
28:03
some kind of harmony. It's to keep people divided.
28:06
It's to keep people angry with
28:08
each other, and it's to feed them these
28:10
narratives of victimology and
28:12
suffering and hatred that
28:15
are very appealing to people. Why
28:17
is Jose Smallett as a victim appealing
28:19
well, because then then he gets
28:22
to get all the sympathy from the media, and he gets
28:24
to tell his story. And you know, why
28:26
would he lie because it benefits him
28:28
to lie. Why do people like to
28:30
hear these stories of victimhood
28:33
because they will translate it into their
28:35
own perceived victimhood.
28:38
Oh, this has been unfair to me, that has been unfairming.
28:40
Here's the truth is. Life is not fair,
28:43
never has been, never will be. Everybody,
28:46
at different times and in different ways, has
28:48
been on the wrong side of an unjust
28:51
situation. But we also,
28:53
all of us, myself included, make
28:57
bad choices, sometimes get
28:59
a little lazy, don't do
29:01
the right thing, don't do what we know
29:04
we should do. Sometimes
29:06
you do enough of that and your
29:08
life trajectory starts to change.
29:11
Sometimes you you start to see, yeah,
29:13
we all make mistakes, right, but you make enough mistakes
29:15
and you've got more
29:18
of a of a macro level
29:20
problem on your hands. Right. You know this is this
29:23
is It's like the difference between binging
29:26
on you know, a dozen donuts and
29:28
eating a dozen donuts every night before you go to sleep
29:30
for about six months. The latter is
29:32
going to actually have an impact in your life. It's not
29:34
going to be very healthy for you, right, you make bad
29:36
decisions. Don't donuts?
29:38
Sounds so good? Right now, I'm really hungry. You
29:42
make bad decisions and you have
29:44
to deal with those decisions. But what if, what
29:48
if I could tell you that there's
29:50
a story, a story
29:52
that I could promote to all of you listening that
29:55
would make you think that, No, it's
29:57
not that you've made any bad decisions, or
29:59
that you would have made better decisions. It's
30:01
not your own lack of discipline,
30:04
or or or just bad
30:06
luck or any of these. No, no no, it's none of that. There
30:09
are bad people out there, Trump
30:12
supporters. There are bad people out
30:14
there who are the cause of
30:17
the disappointments in your life. There are bad people
30:20
out there, the other here, the
30:23
patriarchy, white male
30:25
Christians, Trump supporters, MAGA
30:28
hat wearers, and they
30:30
are the reason for your
30:32
disappointments in life. It's
30:34
not in your hands, it is it is those
30:36
other people that are unfortunately
30:39
individuals like to hear this. It
30:43
frees them from the uncomfortable
30:45
every and I mean this for whoever you are. It's
30:47
always better. You know, whether it's you think you're being victimized
30:49
by you know, your boss at the office,
30:52
or you know your your your social
30:54
life is not what you think it should be because of
30:56
it's it's just like envy, right.
30:59
The politics of envy are so powerful
31:01
because we all see people that are
31:03
spending more money on a yacht than we'll
31:05
make in a lifetime and say, is that guy really
31:07
so much smarter than me? Well,
31:09
when you look at identity politics, and
31:12
you add into those identity politics
31:14
the victimology narrative, and
31:18
you look at and this is at the heart
31:20
of intersectionality. All these different groups are pressing
31:22
each other. It's not that any group should sit
31:24
down and think to itself. First
31:26
of all, do we want to even be judged as a group? Aren't
31:28
we just individuals? Aren't we all just human beings
31:30
with goals, aspirations, hopes,
31:33
loves, desires. Do we have
31:35
to be always thought of as in this group? But even if
31:37
you're going to think about it as a group, isn't
31:41
it more comforting? Isn't it easier
31:45
to be told that whatever's going
31:47
wrong and wrong in your life, it's because you're part
31:49
of this group, and it's because there are other people
31:51
that are holding you down. It's
31:54
a seductive narrative and
31:56
it's at the heart of the
31:58
current obsession with victimhood
32:01
in this country, and
32:03
also understand this victimhood is a means
32:06
of not just achieving
32:10
for oneself a
32:12
kind of immunity and an
32:14
excuse, but also
32:17
claiming victim's status is a way of
32:19
seizing power from those that
32:22
you think should not have it,
32:24
especially people who
32:27
seek to be ethical in their doings. Nobody
32:30
wants to be victimizing somebody else. Guilt
32:33
is a very powerful tool in our politics as
32:36
well. All of this factors in
32:38
to this mess
32:41
that is the Rushi, the
32:43
Jussie Smollett hoax.
32:48
All right, team, we've got a lot more so.
32:50
There's an IRS analyst that
32:53
was the latest deep state clown on the scene.
32:55
We'll talk about what he did. I've got
32:57
some mccave thoughts for you. He's a bad guy.
32:59
Knows rise there and and so so
33:01
much more. Show. Oh, and I
33:04
hate crime against a conservative that
33:07
you'll hear about here. In fact, we'll bring
33:09
you up to speed with the latest on it that you
33:11
probably won't hear anywhere else. Happened in UC
33:14
Berkeley. Somebody got really
33:16
badly beat up because
33:19
he's a conservative. Have you seen that on CNN
33:21
tonight? I don't think so, but don't be watching CNN.
33:23
We'll be right back Kenny
33:28
and Boston, my brother from Boston.
33:30
What's up, Kenny, Hey Buck
33:32
A long time no talk. It's great.
33:35
You make up a good point here with the
33:38
him being stupid, but I'm kind of
33:40
really this is really bothering
33:42
me because I can't think he could be that stupid. Now,
33:44
he wanted to be on camera, You wanted this thing
33:47
to be on camera, but he chose two black dudes
33:49
and he calls them white dudes and report
33:51
wouldn't that have been seen on the camera?
33:53
Why is he It's almost like he wanted
33:55
to be caught where he's deliberately being sloppy
33:59
and um because even now he's
34:01
still denying and vowing
34:04
to fight these charges and exonerate
34:06
his name. And then also
34:08
what about that manager or agent
34:11
that he was on the phone with. I don't hear anything
34:13
good good point about the manager or agent. Was he
34:15
in on it or was it just he got pulled
34:17
into the hoax? Unknowingly right, he might have
34:19
gotten a call from him where he
34:21
did through this whole thing, but you know who really knows.
34:23
But I would say this to you, Kenny, to your theory,
34:26
which which I think is is well thought out.
34:29
What if, though, what if
34:31
Jesse's Smallett is just
34:33
really, really dumb? Just
34:36
just leave leave that open as a possibility,
34:38
leave that opener. What
34:41
if he is in fact? Because you're right, I mean, it's
34:43
so stupid that it's hard to believe he could be
34:45
that stupid. But what if he is, It's
34:48
possible. And as to the pronunciation
34:50
of his name, we always talk about the pronunciation
34:52
of the last me, but what about the first name. It's spelled
34:55
with the You shouldn't he be called juicy? You
34:58
know, I was always thinking, you know not. I'll
35:00
see it's a juicy
35:01
right anyway.
35:03
Yeah, I don't know that joke. That joke
35:05
kills on the South Side. Thanks for calling, Kenny,
35:08
could to talk to you, man? Uh, could
35:10
talk to you? Oh man, it's already
35:13
next hour time. So the
35:16
deep State, it's a thing. What
35:18
have they been up too lately? Well, we
35:21
have somebody who gotten quite a bit of trouble
35:23
or could be in quite a bit of trouble based
35:26
on his desire to
35:29
take down Michael
35:31
Cohen, Trump's lawyer, with
35:34
confidential government information leaked
35:37
to the press. What does
35:39
this tell us about things and also what's
35:41
the latest on the Mullaprobe
35:44
team. Strap in an hour two is gonna rock
35:46
it. He
35:50
has to make a decision. Is he going to be the people's
35:52
lawyer or is he going to be the president's
35:54
lawyer. Clearly, this president regards
35:56
the attorney general as one of his minions. He
35:59
has no respect for the rule of law, in
36:01
fact, utter contempt for judges
36:04
and the judicial process. And he
36:06
has denounced relentlessly
36:09
and unstintingly the FBI and other
36:11
law enforcement absolutely unpressman
36:14
it shattering all the norms. William
36:16
Barr is a professional, at
36:18
least he should be, and he's going to have to
36:20
stand up and speak out for the Department of Justice
36:23
and the rule of law, and that will make
36:25
his ride a pretty wild one. Oh,
36:27
I'm sure denang Dick is really
36:30
gonna sway Bar one
36:32
way or the other with his usual slimy
36:35
antics there the people.
36:37
Will he be the people's lawyer or one of Trump's
36:39
minions. Look, Barr
36:42
is a guy who has done
36:44
this before. Okay, he's been to this rodeo
36:46
before. He was well
36:49
respected then, he is well respected
36:51
now. He obviously can do the job. And
36:53
that's why even the
36:55
lunatics in the Senate on the
36:58
Democrat side could not come up with
37:00
a real rationale to try
37:02
and stop him. So he's
37:04
now the Attorney General, and thankfully,
37:07
it looks like we are heading into the
37:10
end of the Muller nightmare.
37:13
Although it's, as I've said, not going to
37:15
result in an end to investigations
37:17
of Trump. It's not like they're going to just say, Okay,
37:20
you know, well, we're gonna move on to other stuff now.
37:22
Nope, They're gonna keep drilling
37:25
down and drilling down because
37:27
when they can't win the argument, they figure they
37:29
can win just through harassment,
37:33
which is the point
37:35
here, just through harassment.
37:38
So we'll see if the Special Council
37:40
ends next week. I've been telling you that for a while. It looks
37:42
likely a lot of people have reported on it, and
37:45
it would make sense. But in the meantime,
37:48
got some other updates for you. Roger Stone.
37:51
I have to tell you, I kind of like Roger, you
37:53
know, every time I've talked to him, interviewed him. I
37:56
like Roger. I like Carter Page too. Carter
37:58
Page are really really
38:00
nice, friendly, unpretentious
38:03
dude, and Roger Stone
38:05
look He's a character for sure,
38:08
and I bet if you get on the wrong side of him,
38:10
he's not very pleasant. But I kind
38:12
of like Roger Stone. Oh I'm
38:14
a pundit. I'm allowed to like and dislike people. I don't
38:16
have to pretend to be neutral. And it's
38:18
pretty amazing the career
38:21
that he has had in politics,
38:24
stretching back for many, many decades. Well, anyway,
38:26
Roger is whereas
38:29
a political operative. At least Roger is
38:32
not able to speak publicly anymore about
38:34
his case that just came out today. Federal
38:37
Judge Amy Berman restricted
38:41
Stone's ability to speak publicly about his case
38:43
because she says
38:46
Stone posted and then removed a
38:48
photo of the judge on Instagram
38:50
that had crosshairs. Now, Stone said
38:52
it was a Celtic cross but
38:54
had crosshairs behind her
38:57
head. So he
38:59
gave a formal apology, or rather, his lawyers
39:02
wrote up a formal apology for him,
39:05
and I guess we're moving
39:07
past the matter now. But Stone
39:09
is no longer so I'm glad we got an interview
39:12
with him when we could over at Rising. I should have
39:14
had him on radio. I didn't even think about that. But
39:17
Stone is no longer going to be able
39:20
to tell the public what he thinks about
39:22
the trial he faces. I'm gonna tell you this, and I
39:24
spoke to a Democrat lawyer recently
39:26
off the record about
39:29
the like he thinks that Stone.
39:31
He agrees with me because I said, I've read the
39:34
stuff. I think if Stone
39:36
fights this, he won't beat all the
39:38
charges, but he will beat some of them. The
39:41
witness tampering charge is bull.
39:44
It's a bull charge. He
39:46
can beat that. But the ways,
39:48
the way the federal prosecution
39:51
works is if
39:53
even if he beats that charge, but he goes to trial
39:56
and other charges and they get I mean, he's going to prison
39:59
for years in years,
40:01
So is he really going to see Is
40:03
he going to see this all the way
40:05
through? Is he willing to see this all the way
40:07
through? Well,
40:10
we'll have to see. But I do
40:12
think he'll beat you, mark my words, if
40:14
this goes, If this goes all the way, I
40:16
think he'll win on the witness tampering charges, which will
40:18
just show you, even though it means that Roger
40:20
will probably go to prison on the lying under oath
40:23
part of this, it'll show you
40:25
that the Special Castle
40:27
was looking to just crush anybody
40:30
around Trump and that even
40:33
when they had other charges that they could have made,
40:35
that they were trying to do the count of endless
40:37
counts. They were trying to stack the deck against
40:39
him. Then one other thing,
40:41
that's that's in the Muller
40:44
deep state anti Trump
40:46
investigation world. That it's a little
40:48
bit of a rough transition there, but hey, you know
40:50
it's live radio. So federal
40:53
prosecutors have charged
40:55
an analyst with the Internal
40:58
Revenue Service for illegue disclosing
41:01
confidential reports about Michael Cohen's
41:03
bank records. This was
41:06
to show that Cohen was
41:09
trying to profit from his
41:11
access to the Trump White House. Now
41:13
you might say, buck, who really cares about this guy John
41:16
Fridy, IRS
41:18
analyst, Which you
41:20
know, Hey, I'm in Delaware
41:23
as an IRS analyst. Why
41:27
are we talking about this guy? Well, because yet
41:30
again we have a federal bureaucrat,
41:33
another one of these government
41:35
employees who
41:38
was willing, was
41:40
willing to throw his career
41:43
and perhaps his freedom away
41:46
just to get a little pad on the head from
41:48
some journos at the Washington Post
41:50
and the New Yorker. And assuming
41:53
this is true, again, assuming
41:56
that this is true,
42:00
you know, that's that's what I think we all need to
42:02
keep in mind here. It's possible that's not true,
42:04
but it's probably true.
42:07
Why is it that you didn't have this? I
42:10
speak to you often about the mentality in
42:13
the federal government that
42:15
is statist in its inclinations
42:17
and therefore favors Democrats
42:20
and favors the system in general.
42:23
So with all of that, why
42:25
is it that we expect
42:28
that there'll be these kinds of leaks against
42:30
Trump? More deep staters
42:32
that are deciding to take a an
42:35
opportunity to just
42:37
put something out there in the news to take
42:39
down Trump. Look at that that woman who what
42:42
was gosh, she had to vary. Her name
42:44
was like Victory Champion or something, right, what was
42:46
her name? Reality Winner? I
42:48
think it was is that was that
42:50
her name? And look, my name is Buck
42:52
Sexton, I know, but Reality Winners quite
42:55
a name. I
42:57
think she didn't. She get five years in federal
43:00
prison for leaking the classified information
43:04
because she thought that it proved Russia collusion
43:06
or something. I mean, people are hysterical
43:09
inside the government, and they will abuse.
43:11
These hysterical leftists inside the
43:13
government will abuse their sensitive
43:16
and classified access illegally
43:20
as long as it hurts Trump or someone around Trump.
43:23
You just did not have
43:25
this during
43:27
the Obama years. Nobody was risking
43:30
their freedom to try
43:33
to damage Obama in the news cycle
43:35
for a day or two, and nobody in the federal government
43:37
was doing that. They
43:40
just weren't. And of
43:42
course Obama was horrible on leakers, as
43:44
we know. He was the worst abuser
43:47
of the Espionage Act in in American
43:50
history and the most aggressive
43:52
president in dealing with the in going
43:55
after the press probably
43:57
since FDR and Woodrow Wilson,
44:01
so going on a hundred years. But
44:03
the media, you know, they loved Obama. He could do
44:05
no wrong. So they weren't particularly
44:08
they were they were strongly worded letter
44:10
that's not very nice Obama, but they didn't do anything
44:12
serious. They were they certainly weren't opposing the administration
44:15
based on that. But this
44:17
guy who is
44:19
now charged with leaking the
44:22
tax tax information
44:25
about about Michael Cohen, You're
44:27
you're going to see more of this. You We should
44:29
all expect, I fully
44:31
expect that someone is going to leak Trump's
44:34
tax returns at some point. It's just that they're
44:36
waiting to see if the process, if now
44:38
the Democrat Congress can get it. But if if
44:40
they are stymied in this. If
44:42
they're not able to leak Trump's tax returns,
44:45
two things will happen. I think
44:47
I'm making a prediction. I don't know. Somebody
44:50
will just decide from within the IRS, from
44:52
within the government, to violate
44:55
their ethical and legal obligation
44:59
to get Trump's tax returns
45:01
out there. And what
45:03
we will see is a total nothing burger.
45:06
It's gonna make the Mulla
45:08
Report when it comes out look like
45:11
you know, the Godfather series. I mean,
45:13
it's just gonna be so boring.
45:16
There's nothing in Trump's taxes that is
45:18
worth anyone's time. I assure
45:20
you. I
45:22
think he doesn't want to give it out to the public right now,
45:24
just because he doesn't want to, because they keep telling
45:26
him he has to, and that's his Trump's way. But
45:28
you're I think somebody is gonna leak
45:31
from within the IRS. Someone's gonna leak Trump's tax returns,
45:33
that's my and the press is gonna
45:35
say, oh, look at this, we just happen to have the tax
45:37
returns. People are willing to risk
45:40
prison to embarrass this president, and think about that, not
45:42
to expose wrongdoing, to
45:44
embarrass this president or anyone around him.
45:46
That's how Trump's derangement
45:49
syndrome has infected the federal
45:51
bureaucracy. We'll be right back. You
46:08
might be wondering who is getting
46:12
yelled at in this way and where are they're getting yelled at in
46:14
that way? You know what neo
46:18
Nazi was marching through a public square
46:20
somewhere and people started understanding, Oh, it
46:22
wasn't a neo Nazi. It
46:25
was a conservative intellectual of Indian
46:28
parentage and an immigrant to this country
46:31
and a Dartmouth alum who was at Dartmouth
46:33
College. Oh,
46:36
Dartmouth students, it should be
46:38
a shamby of yourself. I mean, these college kids
46:40
are there's such idiots. You know, the conservatives
46:42
don't do the idiotic stuff. They just don't.
46:45
And the numbers don't support this idea that everybody's
46:48
liberal when they're like twenty every No, it's
46:50
not true. It's just that
46:52
there is a greater cultural
46:55
acceptance among leftists
46:58
to act like maniacs because they
47:01
view the other side as immoral. They emotionalize
47:03
all of these topics. They don't think that
47:06
there is a good faith argument to
47:08
be had with the other side. You know that
47:10
that's what's going on here. That's
47:13
what's really happening. They just refuse
47:16
to engage with the other side's ideas,
47:19
and that denish Jasuza is getting heckled
47:21
at his own school. I mean, you know,
47:24
I can't. I can't get into this
47:26
too much detail. But my own college used to
47:28
like to invite me to speak Amherst haven't
47:31
since I've become a conservative in the public eye.
47:34
Nothing crickets, no interest
47:36
in having me come to speak. I was invited at
47:39
least three times, maybe four
47:41
times when I was in the CIA, come
47:43
tell us about foreign policy book, and I did.
47:45
I was happy too, at least once or twice. Now
47:48
though my own school, my own alma
47:51
mater, ashamed of my conservatism,
47:53
no doubt, which is amazing because
47:56
you think about the campus and there must
47:58
be a
48:01
healthy percentage of students who, even if they won't
48:03
tell anybody, are conservative. But they don't get
48:05
to hear their views reflected
48:07
back to them, or they don't even and for the liberal
48:10
students, there's always a part of that feels kind of bad.
48:12
I'm so much better at making liberal arguments
48:14
than liberals are making conservative arguments. They
48:17
don't even know, they're not even exposed to it.
48:20
The one good thing that our team has going for
48:22
us, which is nice, is
48:25
that we have to be able and
48:27
to be a conservative on a campus these days, or
48:29
to be a conservative in media,
48:31
in academia, in law,
48:34
in entertainment. You go down
48:36
the line. If you're going to be conservative
48:38
in any of those areas, you better be
48:41
able to handle yourself and know the issues
48:43
and be able to make the argument, because
48:45
otherwise they're going to chew you up and spit you
48:47
out. Whereas liberals look at AOC,
48:50
look at Okazy Cortez get you get to go
48:52
through life and ignoramus
48:55
with everyone patting you on the head telling you how smart
48:57
you are when you're an idiot. Well, you don't know
48:59
anything, but everybody around you likes
49:01
the things that you say that you've learned to say, that
49:03
you parrot from hearing other people say,
49:06
most of whom, also, by the way, don't know anything.
49:09
And it just becomes this big echo chamber of Oh,
49:11
that's great. Whose streets are streets?
49:13
Let's fix climate change? Social
49:16
justice now, yeah, all that stuff.
49:19
You don't have to even know anything. Oh,
49:22
it's just these things that people say, Oh, you know,
49:24
the dark money in our politics, and
49:26
what are we gonna do about Citizens United. I'm
49:29
always amazed at how people in
49:32
the media, never mind college kids, they'll
49:35
bring up Citizens United and they
49:37
don't know anything about it. I'll say to
49:39
them, So you agree with Citizens United,
49:41
You agree with the idea that a book
49:44
because this is what the government's position. This
49:47
is what the government's position, the Obama administration's
49:49
position was at the time. A book
49:52
should be able to
49:54
be banned, A book
49:57
should be able to be banned in a sixty
49:59
or nine any day window or whatever it was of an election,
50:02
that that doesn't infringe on the First Amendment.
50:04
You think that that's because that was the that was the
50:06
government's position on that. No,
50:09
that's not a good idea. Buck, oh okay, but a
50:11
movie should be able to be banned. But buck
50:13
corporate money from overseas, that's all. They
50:16
don't know what they're talking
50:18
about. They say things about
50:20
big money in politics and say, okay, so yeah,
50:23
you know, the libertarian Koch Brothers give
50:25
money to conservative causes, and there's
50:27
a few others out there that are
50:29
very wealthy who support conservatism. Why
50:32
is that so strange? You know, there's sorrows,
50:34
there's Tom Steyer. There's you know, all
50:36
kinds of billionaires who
50:39
come out and and support
50:41
left wing causes. So what
50:44
is this idea? The left will say things
50:46
like we need to take money out of politics, and
50:49
then you'll say, well, what about all the money you get from X,
50:51
Y and Z sources? What about the money you get from unions?
50:54
From the union, Uh,
50:57
that that doesn't count. That's not bad money, that's good
51:00
money. Oh okay, I'm glad we've established
51:02
that. So a really interesting chart. It's
51:04
actually what got me thinking about all this. And
51:07
it's from some
51:10
kind of a study group I don't know. Unfortunately
51:13
it's cut off here. We've got shared with me today
51:16
though, and it's that forty three
51:18
percent. Sorry, Voters Study Group twenty
51:20
eighteen. I obviously have to give you the source otherwise I'm
51:22
just making up numbers. Voter
51:25
Study Group twenty eighteen. And
51:28
it said that it did a did a big
51:30
poll and says that forty three
51:32
percent of Democrats versus
51:36
seventy percent of Republicans think
51:38
that people should be allowed to express
51:40
unpopular opinions in public, you know, like
51:43
Dnish Dasus at a college campus, even
51:45
those that are deeply offensive. A
51:49
similar proportion of Democrats, by the way,
51:52
openly support speech restrictions,
51:55
so getting close to half
51:57
of Democrats or
52:01
sorry, forty percent of Democrats think
52:04
that there should be speech restrictions,
52:07
and only forty three percent of
52:09
Democrats think that you
52:12
should be able to express unpopular opinions
52:14
in public. These people are authoritarians.
52:17
They because they haven't been exposed
52:19
to those who disagree with them, because
52:22
they just they slam on Fox
52:24
News, they say, the Wall Street journalists, you
52:26
know, garbage, and it's all but the rich plutocrats,
52:29
and you know, every conservative website
52:31
is just conspiracy theories. Because they create
52:33
this false narrative for themselves. They
52:36
never have to challenge any of their assumptions. They
52:38
never have to really know anything,
52:42
which I would think would
52:44
eventually start
52:47
to feel kind of hollow, right, I mean, to just
52:49
surround yourself with people who always agree with
52:51
you. I mean, I work with Libs
52:53
at the Hill, liberals because they're my colleagues.
52:55
I work with liberals at the Hill. I
52:59
have my whole life lived in the bluest
53:01
of blue parts of the country Massachusetts,
53:04
New York, Washington, d C. So
53:08
I've had to deal with liberals all along. I know many of you
53:10
have had the same situation. Even if you
53:12
haven't, you had to deal with it through
53:14
the culture. You've had your assumptions challenge,
53:17
You've seen Christianity being dumped
53:19
on. You've seen Republicans and Trump
53:21
and being treated terribly
53:23
people that are pro life. The
53:26
media thinks you're some kind of troglodyte.
53:28
If your pro life, you know you've dealt
53:30
with all of this. Liberals
53:32
don't have the intellectual resilience
53:35
and honestly, the intellectual dexterity
53:37
and fortitude to handle
53:39
the ideas of the other side, not the same numbers
53:42
that Republicans do. So
53:45
we can take some comfort in that. I guess
53:47
that's a good thing, and I
53:51
do kind of wish in a sense that it would change. I wish
53:53
Democrats would just get with the program a little
53:55
bit here, but I Am not going to hold my breath
53:57
on that one.
54:01
So this video goes viral, the
54:04
mob attacks,
54:07
and you would expect that the mainstream
54:09
media would be responsible
54:11
enough to pause, recognize
54:15
their dealing with a student, investigate
54:19
and make sure that they have the facts
54:22
accurate, that the story
54:24
that they tell is accurate. But
54:27
they didn't pause when it came to Nicholas
54:30
because they wanted to rush out, and they wanted
54:32
to jump into the mob. Give
54:34
the mob a megaphone so
54:36
that they could attack this boy because
54:40
he was white, was Catholic,
54:43
and he was wearing to make America great again.
54:45
Cap think about what this young boy is
54:47
having to deal with at age sixteen, when the
54:49
entire world saw
54:51
him the way the media portrayed him
54:54
as literally the face of evil. It is
54:56
inexcusable, reprehensible conduct
54:58
by the media, and Washington Post
55:00
led the way. Amen.
55:04
Great stuff from the attorney
55:07
for Nicholas Salman, who is going after
55:09
the Washington Post, and I hope he gets a big
55:11
judgment against them. Few reasons why.
55:14
First of all, Washington Post
55:17
is a dumpster fire of liberalism.
55:19
But start we can put
55:21
that aside for the moment. How
55:24
will this ever change unless
55:26
there's accountability. You know, you'll notice
55:28
this is kind of a recurring theme right now. There
55:30
must be accountability for libs, for
55:33
social justice warriors, for
55:36
oh I want to be a victim people, and
55:39
for super aggressive left
55:41
wing maniacs. There must be consequences
55:44
when they break the law, when
55:46
they slander people, when they destroy
55:48
people, when they create a social
55:50
media or real life in person mob
55:53
to go after people. We
55:55
can't let this stuff go. There
55:58
is a an obleegation on
56:01
us to enforce some
56:03
norms of decency,
56:06
some norms of honor
56:09
and integrity in our society. And I'm
56:11
sorry that libs just throw all that stuff
56:13
away and don't really care about it. You know, it's
56:15
whatever gives them the advantage in the
56:17
moment, whatever the political advantage is. But
56:20
we are not going to just sit idly by
56:22
and allow this stuff to happen. All
56:25
right, We're not going to hand our country
56:27
over to a bunch of left wing activists
56:29
who think that they can destroy high
56:32
school kids to make some kind
56:34
of political statement. It
56:37
was disgusting, it was disgraceful,
56:40
and just like what we saw with the Kavanaugh
56:43
hearing, a lot of people who
56:45
were paying attention to what happened with Covington
56:48
Catholic, a lot of them recognized
56:51
that the left wing mob is
56:53
not just something that comes after people like
56:56
me or you know, the people
56:59
at the time of the conservative media
57:02
ecosystem at Fox or you
57:04
know, It's not just people
57:07
like us. It's
57:09
anybody. If you find yourself
57:12
in a circumstance where the left can capitalize
57:15
off the destruction, the
57:17
utter destruction of your reputation,
57:21
your career, your livelihood. They'll
57:24
go for it. Then the social
57:26
media mob, let's it rip. And a lot
57:28
of these journalists, what you see is
57:31
that they think that they can just sort
57:33
of do journalists had on, journalists
57:36
had off. Oh I'm publishing in the Washington
57:38
Post. Oh, I'm just tweeting stuff out on Twitter.
57:40
Sorry, doesn't work that way. Anything
57:43
that you publish under your own
57:45
name, anything you're right under your own name. When you're
57:47
a public person, a journalist, somebody
57:49
who is in the public eye, you must
57:51
be held responsible for. And
57:54
the Washington Post was responsible
57:56
for a smear campaign a bunch of against
57:59
a bunch of high school kids. You
58:01
know, the same media,
58:03
and you know this is just it
58:07
enrages me. The same media that complains about
58:09
how, oh it's Trump has said,
58:11
we're fake news and Trump is so mean to
58:13
us, and why is Trump lay He's what he's
58:15
doing is so dangerous. That
58:17
same media apparatus doesn't
58:20
expect that, or rather isn't willing to
58:23
afford a bunch of high school kids
58:25
not just a benefit of the doubt, but basic journalistic
58:28
standards indecencies. So I hope
58:30
that Sandman and his attorney, his
58:32
attorneys are able to just flip the Washington
58:34
Post upside down and just empty
58:37
out their pockets. I really do.
58:40
I really do. Um there's
58:44
there's more, by the way, because I think there's there's
58:46
more lawsuits according to the Lord, that are going to be filed.
58:50
I even know some of the people that are going to get
58:52
sued, And I understand,
58:55
you know, there there has to be consequences
58:58
to this stuff. You can't just
59:00
go out there. You know, why didn't I jump
59:02
on that? I saw this story, I didn't jump
59:04
on this bandwagon. Didn't seem right to me.
59:07
Something was up, not all the facts,
59:09
too obvious
59:12
that the media had constructed
59:14
this narrative for their own purposes. I
59:16
didn't fall Isn't it interesting? You know, you
59:19
listen to conservative media. If you're listening to this show,
59:21
you listen to a conservative who's got a syndicated
59:23
radio show obviously across the country. But did
59:26
I get Covington Catholic wrong? No?
59:30
I did not. Did I get
59:32
Jesse Smollett wrong? No?
59:35
I did not. Did I get the
59:37
BuzzFeed debacle right before
59:40
Covington Catholic wrong. Mmm, didn't
59:43
buy that one either. Did I get Kavinall
59:45
wrong? No? And I'm not pretending like I'm the only
59:47
one. A lot of my fellow
59:49
conservatives in the media
59:52
saw these things for what they were as well. Not all of
59:54
them were as vocal as I was. But why
59:56
do I keep being right? And the Washington Post
59:58
with its you know, hundreds of millions of
1:00:00
dollars of assets, and the New York Times was
1:00:03
it with its thousand plus
1:00:05
writers and editors and everything else, and C and
1:00:08
N with its you know, it's gold plated
1:00:10
toilet seats. I mean, you know, why
1:00:13
can I figure this stuff out? But they can't?
1:00:16
Does that ever? And when I say I, why
1:00:18
is it that you can figure this stuff out? Too? And
1:00:21
they can't? You knew?
1:00:24
If you didn't know, you wouldn't be listening to the show
1:00:26
because what I said about Smaller would be so offensive,
1:00:29
right, what I was saying about Cavana will be oh,
1:00:31
you know, no, you know, And that's why you listen
1:00:33
to me. But isn't it
1:00:36
isn't it amazing that when you line
1:00:38
up these these inre and don't even
1:00:40
get me started on the Mueller probe and lack
1:00:42
of collusion. I mean, obviously a lot of
1:00:44
US conservatives know that that's total bullcrap.
1:00:48
But why is it that they're allowed to keep
1:00:50
being wrong on these issues and
1:00:52
yet their judgment, in fact, their judgment
1:00:54
is supposed to exceed mine and
1:00:57
yours. They are the smart people
1:00:59
who know all the things, with all the editors
1:01:01
and the fancy you know this, that the other thing
1:01:03
in their offices, but
1:01:06
they keep being wrong and they do
1:01:08
real damage to normal
1:01:10
people. There are hundreds
1:01:12
of lawsuits that are likely be filed Playlip five,
1:01:19
certainly hundreds. The good news
1:01:21
is is that we have two
1:01:23
and a half years to identify and file
1:01:26
lawsuits against the wrongdoers. And
1:01:28
we got a lot of work to do because
1:01:30
the social media and mainstream
1:01:32
mob of bullies was extremely
1:01:35
large in number, and they were very
1:01:37
vocal, and the mainstream media,
1:01:39
like the Washington Post gave
1:01:42
them a megaphone to
1:01:45
go out and to shout to the world
1:01:47
that this young boy had instigated
1:01:50
this event which he did not, had
1:01:53
engaged in behavior swarming around
1:01:55
mister Phillips which he did not, had
1:01:57
blocked mister phillips ability
1:02:00
to leave the scene,
1:02:02
which he did not. He was a child.
1:02:05
He was he was accosted by adults,
1:02:10
accosted by adults, adults who
1:02:13
I would note were acting horribly.
1:02:16
And if you go back and you read that media
1:02:18
coverage, there
1:02:20
was no effort to be honest about this. The
1:02:23
New York Times did a profile of the black
1:02:26
Israelites, had referred
1:02:28
to them as street preachers
1:02:30
or something. I mean, it was a puff piece
1:02:33
on a bunch of adults who
1:02:36
say the most horrific racist,
1:02:39
anti gay, you
1:02:41
know, go go down the line, anti
1:02:43
white. Just these people are.
1:02:46
They're scum. They're
1:02:48
scum people, but
1:02:51
the Times wanted to give them the benefit
1:02:53
of the doubt. I
1:02:55
wish I could just go into the newsrooms in these places
1:02:57
and sit down and be like, who wants to debate this with
1:03:00
me? Who wants to have this conversation? Oh?
1:03:02
You know, we just we just do the
1:03:04
news and in journals, and journalism
1:03:09
is rotten in this country.
1:03:13
Journalism needs to be rooted
1:03:15
out and planted
1:03:18
a new That's
1:03:21
one of the lessons of what we saw with Covington. So
1:03:23
I'm very happy to see that there's going
1:03:25
to be some legal action here. I don't
1:03:28
know if they're
1:03:30
going to be successful. I certainly hope they
1:03:32
will be successful, but
1:03:35
we can't. This is just like the
1:03:37
Jesse smaller thing. You know, we are conservatives,
1:03:40
we have lives, we are we are good,
1:03:42
decent people that try to do the ethical
1:03:44
thing, that like to show mercy and forgiveness,
1:03:47
and but we can't just get slapped in the
1:03:49
face all the time and do nothing. We
1:03:51
can't allow the system
1:03:53
such as it is, to always
1:03:56
undermine and destroy
1:03:59
people like us. I'm
1:04:01
sorry, you know, I'm not saying that
1:04:03
we have some persecution complex and
1:04:05
oh we know, woe is us whatever, But you
1:04:07
see it happening from the media perspective,
1:04:10
it's just reality. They
1:04:13
are trying to destroy their
1:04:15
political opponents however they can. They're trying
1:04:17
to sell a certain kind of narrative
1:04:20
to their largely delusional audience.
1:04:23
Whether it's on Russia collusion, or
1:04:25
Covington or Kavanaugh or you name it.
1:04:27
It's
1:04:29
wrong. And I hope
1:04:31
that there is some justice for Covington
1:04:34
and in that for all the rest of us as
1:04:36
well. A
1:04:44
bunch of let that's right,
1:04:46
just like you're damn Donald Truck. Look
1:04:49
all these dusty crackers with
1:04:52
that racist garbage. One. Look at these dirty
1:04:55
cracks. Look
1:04:58
at these dirty crackers. The
1:05:01
Black Israelites said to the Cummington
1:05:04
High School students, dirty crackers.
1:05:08
Anybody anybody find that offensive? I wanted
1:05:10
to play this before we got into the break. I just got so
1:05:12
caught up in the moment that I skipped over the clip
1:05:16
dirty crackers. They said, that's
1:05:19
remember, the Black Israelites are the
1:05:21
people along with that guy
1:05:23
um from forgetting
1:05:25
his name now, the Native American activist
1:05:28
guy. They were the
1:05:30
ones and all of you're
1:05:32
yelling his name because you remember, and I just blanked
1:05:34
on it for a second, but they were the ones that the
1:05:38
media was siding with against
1:05:40
the kids. You know that there really
1:05:42
is this this deep seated
1:05:45
disdain on the left for
1:05:48
people that fall into certain categories. If
1:05:50
you if you are a white
1:05:53
kid who goes to a Catholic
1:05:55
school, which I assume you have to pay, it's not a public
1:05:58
school. A white kid goes to a Catholic
1:06:00
school who supports Trump, they
1:06:02
think you're the enemy. And there's
1:06:04
no, Oh, we're gonna give them
1:06:06
a little bit of leeway because their kids and no, no
1:06:08
no, because they're just gonna grow up to be big maga
1:06:10
supporters later on, right, so they they
1:06:13
figure might as well take care of them right
1:06:15
now, might as well decide
1:06:18
to ruin their lives as as quickly
1:06:21
as possible. It's
1:06:23
it's a troubling circumstance, to be sure,
1:06:25
by the way. I didn't want to skip over because
1:06:29
obviously this is a major news
1:06:31
story, and in what
1:06:33
we have to find out more
1:06:36
about the facts of the case,
1:06:38
such as they are. But from what
1:06:40
we understand right now, there
1:06:42
was a plot
1:06:45
that was stopped
1:06:48
from a white nationalist who
1:06:51
was trying to just trying to kill a whole
1:06:53
bunch of people. He
1:06:55
was in the I believe in the Coast Guard. Right, Yeah,
1:06:58
here we go. I'm Drea. This is a from
1:07:00
the guy I'm dreaming of a way to kill almost every
1:07:02
last person on earth. According
1:07:05
to this Coastguard lieutenant
1:07:08
and self identified white nationalist, Christopher
1:07:11
Paul Hassan is his name, he
1:07:13
wanted focused violence to establish a white
1:07:15
homeland and said I'm dreaming of a way to kill almost
1:07:17
every last person on earth. The
1:07:20
indictment of him says the defendant intends to murder
1:07:23
innocent civilians on a scale rarely seen
1:07:25
in this country, and they're
1:07:27
holding him on Roman not letting him out, and
1:07:31
he also bought a stash of steroids and narcotics,
1:07:34
apparently to make it easier for him to sustain
1:07:37
wounds, probably bullet wounds when he went
1:07:39
on this spree. There
1:07:42
are evil people of all
1:07:44
kinds of ideologies and backgrounds,
1:07:47
that much is for sure. This is somebody
1:07:50
who, assuming the facts that
1:07:52
we have here are true and so far there's no reason
1:07:54
to believe that they're not, should spend the rest
1:07:56
of his life in prison, no
1:07:59
question. I think
1:08:01
it's it's interesting me also that you know he's somebody who
1:08:03
he stockpiled all these weapons, that went through
1:08:05
all these procedures. I'm wondering what the
1:08:09
how they got him. I didn't see that today. I'm assuming
1:08:11
they probably got an informant near him, but maybe
1:08:13
they had something else that tipped
1:08:15
them off to it. But now
1:08:17
you're going to get into this discussion. As
1:08:20
always, this is where it always goes of. See,
1:08:23
the real threat that we face
1:08:26
is from white nationalist domestic
1:08:28
terrorists, not Islamic radicals.
1:08:30
This is what they always say. And
1:08:33
to this I have to I
1:08:35
have to always take a moment, take a beat, and say, okay,
1:08:37
let's go, let's go over this again. When
1:08:40
a white nationalist decides
1:08:42
to engage in an active mass murder,
1:08:46
he, based on the
1:08:48
history of this and cases
1:08:51
in the past, overwhelmingly is
1:08:53
acting on his own is
1:08:55
acting based on a sense of perceived
1:08:58
you know, heightened grieving, and is
1:09:02
sociopathic or psychopathic. And
1:09:05
it's a terrible event. We should stop them,
1:09:08
and if we can't stop them, we should lock them up,
1:09:10
or more than lock them up as soon as we catch
1:09:13
them. Anybody who does this. But if you're
1:09:15
going to compare and this, I already saw this happening
1:09:17
today. And you know, Corey Booker recently
1:09:19
said, oh, the real threat in this country is
1:09:22
from white nationalist terrorism. The
1:09:25
moment you dig into it and you look at
1:09:27
the numbers for the last twenty years,
1:09:30
it is not even close. How
1:09:33
many more people have been killed in this country
1:09:35
by Islamic radical terrorism
1:09:38
than any other form. It
1:09:40
is not even close. How much more
1:09:42
in terms of resources and security
1:09:44
procedures. And you know we have a TSA not
1:09:47
because of white nationalists. We
1:09:49
all know this. We've
1:09:51
had to dramatically change and have
1:09:54
changed US foreign policy, spent
1:09:57
trillions of dollars overseas trying
1:09:59
to root out Islamic radicalism, and when an
1:10:01
Islamic radical acts in this country,
1:10:03
they do so with a
1:10:07
a belief that
1:10:10
is supported by tens of millions
1:10:12
of people around the world based on the numbers
1:10:14
based on the Pew polling, and is
1:10:16
often supported by entire nation states,
1:10:19
places where there are millionaires
1:10:21
and billionaires. That's right, who will
1:10:23
send money to these kinds of groups, you
1:10:26
know. So it's just in terms
1:10:28
of scale, sophistication and threat, it's not
1:10:31
even close. Was this Coastguard lieutenant
1:10:33
a serious threat, a real problem, and a
1:10:36
just terrible human
1:10:39
being? Yes, all of that is true.
1:10:42
Is a good work by the FBI to take him down,
1:10:44
Absolutely fantastic and they should
1:10:46
be praised for this. Does
1:10:49
this mean that the real threat? If you're
1:10:51
gonna ask me, as a former counter terrorism analyst,
1:10:53
somebody actually did that for a living. It's the real
1:10:55
threat now, white nationalism and not Islamic radicalism.
1:10:58
No, that is fall The numbers
1:11:00
do not support it. Nothing
1:11:03
on a strategic global level supports it.
1:11:05
So let's just understand
1:11:08
what's real here and what's not and keep
1:11:10
things in context. Every
1:11:15
business in every industry needs to
1:11:17
be sure that the people that they're
1:11:19
bringing in are the people they think they are
1:11:21
right. I mean, that's why background checks are so
1:11:24
important. It's also a liability issue. Whoever
1:11:26
you bring in there, you've got to be able to trust and know
1:11:28
that the information they provided you is
1:11:30
correct. That's why Global Verification
1:11:32
Network is the best choice for you
1:11:34
for background investigations and vetting.
1:11:37
They are a dual certified, in fact, the only
1:11:39
dual certified veteran owned and operated
1:11:41
background investigation in vetting company, and
1:11:43
they're headquartered in Chicago with risk mitigation
1:11:46
experts spread across the country. Call
1:11:49
them right now, just tell them what your
1:11:51
needs are, tell them what your business is. They will
1:11:53
tailor a plan for background checks
1:11:55
to your needs. Eight seven seven

1:12:13
Leave no stone unturned. I
1:12:18
know that the media is going to work overtime
1:12:21
to try and create this image
1:12:24
of Bernie Sanders as this cuddly guy who's
1:12:26
up in Vermont and he just wants to give everybody
1:12:28
to free stuff. And he wants to be friends with everybody.
1:12:30
And no one pays for college, no one
1:12:32
pays for healthcare, no one pays for food.
1:12:36
I understand that that's where they want
1:12:38
to take this. That's going to
1:12:40
be the overwhelming media
1:12:43
effort around this issue, around the issue
1:12:45
of Sanders candidacy. I'm
1:12:47
here to just remind everybody that this
1:12:49
is a guy who, as an adult. I'm
1:12:52
not talking about going back in time and digging
1:12:55
up old tweets or you
1:12:57
know, talking about herebook photos or any
1:13:00
anything like that. This is a guy who, as an
1:13:02
adult and
1:13:04
somebody was already in public life, decided
1:13:09
for the old tweets. I'm in for people that were teenagers
1:13:11
then, which would not Bernie
1:13:13
Sanders would not count in that. In that regard,
1:13:17
Bernie Sanders is somebody who had a very
1:13:19
clear sympathy with
1:13:22
a system that had enslaved hundreds
1:13:25
of millions of people around the world for decades,
1:13:28
and a system that had created that had
1:13:30
been propping up the Soviet Union
1:13:32
and communism a
1:13:34
true mortal threat to the United States
1:13:38
and some of the little satellites
1:13:40
of that Soviet Communist
1:13:43
menace. Bernie Sanders
1:13:45
was quite fond of them. And
1:13:48
we should, we should. You know, this is all fair
1:13:51
game, folks. He was an adult, he spent
1:13:53
time there. This is like when
1:13:56
what's his name of, Deblasio Kasa
1:13:58
Virham, Deblasio Warren
1:14:02
or sorry, Warren Wilhelm build a Blasio, same
1:14:04
guy, and when he went I
1:14:06
think too, I think it was down
1:14:08
to Nicaragua to hang out with the Sandinistas.
1:14:10
I mean, these people who do this stuff, think
1:14:12
about that. Of all the places you go in the
1:14:14
world, Bernie Sanders honeymoons in the Soviet
1:14:17
Unions. That
1:14:19
is an utterly bizarre thing to
1:14:21
do, especially at a time when you
1:14:23
remember the culture. I mean, hey, I saw
1:14:25
Rocky four right, it was very
1:14:27
clear who was on our team who
1:14:30
was on their team. You're gonna go over to Sylviet Union
1:14:32
to come back to the great great transportation
1:14:35
and breadlines are wonderful because you're in
1:14:37
the line and then when you wait for
1:14:39
six seven hours, the stale bread
1:14:41
waiting for you free. This
1:14:44
is disconcerting because
1:14:47
I do think that Bernie is going to be, at
1:14:49
least for a while, their front runner. They
1:14:51
may have to switch somebody else out for Bernie
1:14:54
as Moore comes out about him, and I
1:14:57
do think people keep saying, well, Trump is I'm sorry,
1:14:59
seventy two, who is not seventy seven?
1:15:02
You know, he's even older. He's
1:15:04
even more past
1:15:06
the red line of being able to
1:15:09
carry the presidency based on
1:15:11
energy and the decision
1:15:13
making processes that do take it
1:15:16
out on people. Play
1:15:19
clip sixteen here this is burn. I remember,
1:15:22
for some reason other being very excited when when
1:15:24
Fidel Cashtro made the revolution in Cuba, and I
1:15:26
was a kid, and I remember reading that and it was
1:15:28
just seemed right inappropriate that poor people
1:15:30
were rising up against rather ugly rich
1:15:33
people. And I remember it again very
1:15:35
distinctly, a very distinct feeling. I
1:15:37
was watching the debates, you remember the famous Nixon
1:15:39
Kennedy debates. That was the first time in the presidential
1:15:42
candidates actually debated, and I
1:15:44
was becoming increasingly entrusted in politics. Didn't
1:15:46
know much, but was interesting. I remember sitting in the student lounge
1:15:48
at our dormitory watching the debate, and
1:15:51
at that time we could talk about Cuban.
1:15:53
Now, I was very excited and press play the Cuban
1:15:55
Revolution. We should deal firmly
1:15:57
with Fidel Cashtro and Nixon was playing the role
1:15:59
of hey, you gotta be patient. You
1:16:01
know, you can't do these things. You gotta negotiate. What of
1:16:03
course, what he was upset about is that secretly
1:16:05
they were planning the Bay of Pigs invasion right then.
1:16:08
So he he was the liberal
1:16:11
and Kennedy was playing the conservative. And actually
1:16:13
you know they're When you read novels, people say there's a sick
1:16:15
feeling in yourself. Usually I'm sufficiently
1:16:18
unemotional not to be sick, but actually got off in the
1:16:20
room and almost left the public. You
1:16:23
can't criticize Cuba,
1:16:26
or Bernie might puke on your shoes.
1:16:30
That's that's a that's a conversation
1:16:32
that some of my friends who are Cuban, who
1:16:35
are true refugees by the way, from Cuba,
1:16:38
people who had to flee. I
1:16:40
know people that their families,
1:16:42
lands and property were confiscated,
1:16:47
that they were under
1:16:49
under real threat of torture and imprisonment
1:16:52
and even execution if they
1:16:55
weren't able to get
1:16:57
out of the country. And I wonder what Bernie
1:16:59
would say to those people. Well,
1:17:02
we have some sense of it. In that clip he said, rising
1:17:04
up against the ugly rich people.
1:17:08
Why is it if if we're supposed
1:17:10
to get Sweden, if the Democrats
1:17:13
today, the Occasio
1:17:15
Cortez is the Elizabeth Warrens. If
1:17:17
the left wing socialist Democrats
1:17:19
in America are promising
1:17:22
Denmark for us, why
1:17:24
do they still have a sweet spot for Cuba?
1:17:27
What is it about a country that
1:17:29
imprisons people for their politics,
1:17:32
imprisons and persecutes
1:17:35
homosexuals, has executed
1:17:38
political prisoners by the thousands, stretching
1:17:40
back into the early days of
1:17:43
Chegavara and the
1:17:45
revolution in Cuba? Right,
1:17:48
what is it about Cuba
1:17:50
that still strikes this chord
1:17:52
where there's some degree of fondness
1:17:55
in the hearts of American democratic
1:17:58
socialists. You know, why
1:18:01
is it that the only people who look at Venezuela
1:18:04
and think, WHOA, Let's not get
1:18:06
too involved there. Let's not
1:18:08
even send food to starving
1:18:10
people. I'm not talking about military force. Let's
1:18:13
not even send humanitarian
1:18:15
aid. We should because that
1:18:17
will obviously make the regime look bad. If America
1:18:20
has to feed the people, right, and that's going to help push
1:18:22
this coup along they call it. I mean, the last
1:18:24
election was a farce. Maduro
1:18:27
cheated. We're supposed to believe at
1:18:29
institutions, We're supposed to believe that
1:18:33
you can't cheat and get away with it, at
1:18:35
least in this country. But in Venezuela
1:18:37
they'll say, oh no, that's that's just how
1:18:39
they were doing things there. Maduro he
1:18:41
had to play a little dirty, but he's still the president.
1:18:44
The only people that come to Maduro's
1:18:47
aid in this country are the leftist socialists.
1:18:49
Why you know, I think it's
1:18:51
worth asking these questions. It's
1:18:54
one thing to say I love Sweden, I love
1:18:56
Denmark. I want America to be like those
1:18:59
countries. Right If Bernie wants to be the mayor
1:19:01
of Stockholm and sit
1:19:03
in the White House when he does it, that's that's
1:19:05
one thing. But you'll notice
1:19:08
that when it comes to Nicaragua, when
1:19:10
it comes to what's
1:19:12
happened in Venezuela
1:19:14
and now for decades with
1:19:16
Cuba, the left
1:19:19
in this country has a fondness
1:19:21
for those for those nations. And I
1:19:23
don't mean for the people, I mean for the regimes,
1:19:26
for the governing systems. I'm
1:19:30
sorry, but to be able to go back
1:19:32
and to hear somebody like Bernie Sanders
1:19:35
praising the Soviet Union, openly
1:19:39
longing for the days of Cuba's
1:19:41
revolution against the quote ugly rich
1:19:43
people. Why
1:19:46
why should we think that his mentality has really
1:19:48
changed that much. Because he's old now and a little cookier.
1:19:51
It seems a little a little more like the like
1:19:54
the crazy grandpa that you gotta make
1:19:56
sure it doesn't wander out into the snow in his underwear.
1:19:58
I mean, what is it about
1:20:00
Bernie Sanders? Now, that's
1:20:02
so he's talking about free healthcare, he's talking
1:20:04
about soaking the rich with taxes. What
1:20:07
qualifies as rich? By the way, that's always
1:20:09
a This is like when people say, do
1:20:11
you believe in climate change? And this is a nonsense
1:20:14
question because even if I do, what do we
1:20:16
do about it? And how much climate change?
1:20:19
How much climate change am I supposed to be worried about?
1:20:21
Here? To what degree? When
1:20:23
you say that you're only going to tax the rich, which Occasio
1:20:26
Cortez and Warren and
1:20:29
name a Democrat who's not an establishment
1:20:32
kind of Wall Street Hollywood friendly.
1:20:34
Although Hollywood is actually very behind Bernie
1:20:36
Sanders. There's a lot of big money in Hollywood
1:20:39
that likes Bernie Sanders, but they
1:20:41
all want to tax the rich more
1:20:43
in order to fund these enormously expensive
1:20:46
social programs. And so I do think we should
1:20:48
ask the question. Okay, so given
1:20:51
that reality what
1:20:54
makes somebody rich? Are
1:20:56
we really going to walk around and pretend that somebody who makes twenty
1:20:58
million dollars is the same financial
1:21:01
footage as somebody who makes two hundred thousand dollars.
1:21:05
And how do we pay for all these programs
1:21:07
that they talk about? When if you took
1:21:09
every dollar that is made by
1:21:11
people over ten million
1:21:13
a year in this country, you just seized all of
1:21:15
it, you wouldn't be able to fund the
1:21:18
stuff that these democrats are talking about because
1:21:20
there aren't that many people who make that much money. The
1:21:24
money is in the middle class.
1:21:26
The money is in folks
1:21:29
who are just showing up, doing jobs, paying
1:21:32
their bills, and doing things the right way.
1:21:35
And when I mean the money from a from
1:21:37
a taxation perspective, that's where it
1:21:39
really really moves the needle.
1:21:42
So what they'll try to do, what Sanders is going to
1:21:44
do is one tell us that it's
1:21:46
not fair to point to Venezuela. It's not fair
1:21:48
to point to Cuba and say that's
1:21:51
socialism for you. This is where socialism leads
1:21:53
because look at these European countries. And
1:21:56
he's going to hope that people don't pay attention to
1:21:59
one the the bureaucracy
1:22:01
in those European countries. That would be like trying
1:22:03
to make socialism work in you
1:22:05
know, Rhode Island or Maine. All
1:22:08
right, it's not making it work in a country
1:22:10
of three hundred and twenty million people start
1:22:12
start with that, and
1:22:15
we're talking about countries like Denmark and Sweden.
1:22:17
These are these are the size of a
1:22:20
US state, one
1:22:22
US state, and not even the biggest ones. So
1:22:26
he's hoping that people don't pay attention to
1:22:28
the scope and scale of the projects
1:22:30
that he's really talking about. And
1:22:32
he doesn't want to dig into the fondness
1:22:35
that the left has for all of these socialist
1:22:37
regimes, which just keeps coming up. Right, they
1:22:39
there were New York Times articles praising Venezuela
1:22:41
in twenty twelve. Maybe they're gonna make this whole thing
1:22:44
work. And I
1:22:46
think that in an era when we're told that there's
1:22:48
somebody who might be doing
1:22:50
Russia's interest, right, Trump is he's Putin's
1:22:53
puppet, and all this stuff is Sanders
1:22:55
a communist puppet because
1:22:58
he used to like communism a lot. Now he says
1:23:00
socialism. But if you were
1:23:02
going to get a communist to be the president the United states.
1:23:04
Wouldn't he have to say that he was a democratic socialist
1:23:07
first? I think it's fair
1:23:09
to ask the question. AARP
1:23:13
is a very well known organization
1:23:16
for seniors, but if you dig a little
1:23:18
deeper, you find out that
1:23:21
aarps pretty left wing. They support
1:23:23
things like government run healthcare,
1:23:26
They are not strong on our southern
1:23:28
border. They want higher taxes for the middle
1:23:30
class. You don't want any of that stuff, So how about
1:23:32
you join an organization for seniors that represents
1:23:35
your conservative values and gets
1:23:37
you a lot of great benefits AMAC.
1:23:40
Why do I recommend AMAC? Will? AMAC
1:23:42
will get you the discounts on car insurance,
1:23:44
hotels, roadside assistants, dental plans,
1:23:47
even sell service options, lots
1:23:49
of things to make your life easier and save you money. But
1:23:52
also AMAC supports
1:23:55
conservative policy, fixing
1:23:57
social security, protecting our southern
1:23:59
border, strong military. You need
1:24:01
to check out AMAC. Join right now
1:24:03
at AMAC dot us slash buck.
1:24:06
That's AMAC dot
1:24:08
us slash buck. I
1:24:14
know that everyone's focused on a hoax hate
1:24:16
crime today, but turns out there are in
1:24:18
fact real hate crimes
1:24:20
out there, as you no doubt already no,
1:24:23
but they're not always against individuals
1:24:26
who are in a protected group.
1:24:28
It's not always the intersectional
1:24:30
left that is somehow being attacked.
1:24:33
Sometimes just being a conservative
1:24:35
can get you punched in the face.
1:24:38
We have Benny Johnson with us now. Benny
1:24:40
is the creative director at Turning Point
1:24:43
USA, formerly of The Daily Caller, also
1:24:45
a colleague of mine from the Blaze days. Mister
1:24:48
Johnson, great to have you on. Hey,
1:24:50
thanks, Buck, appreciate it. So you
1:24:53
have this video you've been sharing of, Well,
1:24:55
tell us what happened first, then we'll actually play
1:24:57
the audio. I wish people could see it because it's vicious,
1:24:59
But tell us what happened. Sure.
1:25:02
So Turning Point is a
1:25:05
young conservative engagement
1:25:08
organization, nonprofit.
1:25:10
We make sure that conservatives across
1:25:12
the country and on campuses all over the country
1:25:15
all have opportunity and access to free
1:25:17
market ideas and free market
1:25:20
content. And so one of our one
1:25:22
of our students, member of our organization,
1:25:25
was on the campus of UC Berkeley in
1:25:27
California, a
1:25:29
particularly liberal campus, and
1:25:32
was merely tabling. It's something that
1:25:34
happens normally on a college campus. You share
1:25:37
material and ideas. This is just a
1:25:39
free speech ideas and zone
1:25:42
and a angry leftist of
1:25:44
whom we do not know the identity of just yet and
1:25:46
cannot confirm if they were an
1:25:48
actual student at Berkeley. But an angry leftist
1:25:51
came up and assaulted, committed
1:25:54
a violent act against one of our
1:25:56
students, punched him in the face,
1:26:00
cause quite a bit of damage. Um,
1:26:03
and it's a horrific, horrific
1:26:05
violent act. Now,
1:26:08
Benny, we're gonna play the audio from this play
1:26:10
at John Jesus
1:26:14
Clay what
1:26:30
oh
1:26:33
so a lot of profanity here, because what's happening
1:26:35
is you got the Turning Point USA kid, and you go to
1:26:37
Benny Johnson's Twitter account and you can
1:26:39
see it. He's he's been sharing it. You
1:26:41
got a guy from Turning Point. He's just trying to
1:26:43
get get young conservatives to sign
1:26:46
up, and some considerably larger
1:26:48
dude comes along, clearly and deranged
1:26:51
leftist assaults him and then land's
1:26:53
a really nasty punch right right in the kid's
1:26:55
face. Benny, how's he doing, by the way,
1:26:57
and how's he how's the young man who was attacked reacting
1:27:00
into this? Yeah, it's
1:27:02
it's bad. We're keeping his identity,
1:27:06
is making sure that he is safe right
1:27:08
now. But I've seen photos
1:27:11
of the injury. It's a very very
1:27:13
bad injury. It was a very very bad punch. And
1:27:15
this is again on a college campus. And
1:27:18
the victim here, who's a victim
1:27:20
of a politically inspired hate crime. You have
1:27:22
to call it that. That is exactly what this is. He's
1:27:24
being targeted for his personal beliefs. This
1:27:27
is a hate crime. This victim
1:27:29
was merely saying that he is a conservative
1:27:32
and being a mouthpiece
1:27:35
for some conservative ideas on the campus
1:27:37
of Berkeley. That is all of
1:27:39
the information we know right now. This is not a fight,
1:27:41
This was on instigation. This was not a violent
1:27:44
riot. This was just a young conservative
1:27:47
saying something conservative on a college
1:27:49
campus. And what does he get for it? Pulled
1:27:51
off and punched in the face to
1:27:53
the point of a horrific personal
1:27:56
injury. It's
1:27:58
really bad by Berkeley right
1:28:00
now. Buck is actually asking
1:28:03
for any information to identify
1:28:06
who committed the violent act, they said in
1:28:08
a statement just released now, but they
1:28:10
strongly condemned this. And then
1:28:12
Berkeley is a campus that believes
1:28:15
in commitment in freedom of expression, So
1:28:17
we afford to working with the authorities and
1:28:19
bringing justice to this
1:28:22
hate crime. For this hate
1:28:24
crime against political opinion.
1:28:28
I remember when the coxin on my crew
1:28:30
team in college, who was a very
1:28:32
small guy. Because coxins have to be because
1:28:35
of the weight in the boat. It's important
1:28:37
you get somebody who's and oftentimes it's actually
1:28:39
have female coxin on an all male crew team. But I
1:28:41
remember he got he got debt by
1:28:43
a person he had never talked to and had
1:28:45
never met at a party on campus.
1:28:48
It's a good thing I wasn't there. He was a good friend of
1:28:50
mine and I would have had to take matters into my own hands.
1:28:53
But he got decked out, broke
1:28:55
his glasses, gave him a black guy. And
1:28:57
it's just I bring this up, Benny, because I
1:29:00
cannot. I mean, that's a personal experience. You're
1:29:02
now spreading what happened
1:29:04
here on UC Berkeley. I can't
1:29:06
think of an instance where a conservative student
1:29:09
has walked up to a crazy
1:29:11
lib on campus, which obviously there are tons
1:29:13
of them, and punched one of them in the face. I
1:29:16
can rattle off lots of instances
1:29:18
of people who were punched for being
1:29:20
conservatives. Yes, at
1:29:22
turning point, we are actually producing right
1:29:25
now a long video
1:29:27
that shows the instances of violence, just
1:29:29
the notable instances of violence over the last
1:29:31
two years from the left there
1:29:34
are major instances that made national
1:29:36
news. For instance, the young
1:29:38
Maga hat wearing kid who was just
1:29:40
a teenager at a water burger had
1:29:42
his hat taken soda thrown in his face.
1:29:45
A pro life supporter in Canada
1:29:48
had her phone kicked and herself like kicked
1:29:50
across the face by a
1:29:52
pro choice activist. And then just
1:29:55
dozens and dozens and dozens of Antifa
1:29:58
incidence of Antifa islands
1:30:00
that cause major injury,
1:30:03
major damage to businesses
1:30:06
and to the public sector. And a lot of this
1:30:08
violence is directed at police, a lot
1:30:10
of this violence is directed at at the
1:30:12
authorities. It's it
1:30:15
is absolutely impossible
1:30:17
to make the case that there is
1:30:19
that there's an equitable level of violence
1:30:22
between the right and the left. The left has
1:30:25
an enormous amount of incidence
1:30:27
of violence against innocent
1:30:30
people generally hate crimes because
1:30:32
of political opinion. Benny,
1:30:34
Where can people go to see the work you're doing a turning
1:30:37
point and also to follow up on this story. Yeah,
1:30:40
so I'm going to be I'm going to be on
1:30:42
Twitter very active about this in
1:30:44
the next twenty four hours. Is things develop, we
1:30:47
are going to be looking into pursuing
1:30:49
all actions in order to defend
1:30:53
our campus representative.
1:30:56
And as of right now, what
1:30:58
we're looking at bucks to bring
1:31:00
justice and identify who the person was that
1:31:03
committed hate crime, the committed this
1:31:05
act of hate political hate crime, and
1:31:08
so they can go to Turning Point USA on
1:31:10
social media, maybe go to Benny Johnson on
1:31:12
Twitter. All right, Benny, stay on this one
1:31:15
man, and thank you so much for calling in. Good to talk to you.
1:31:17
Thank you. Buck. Team will be right
1:31:19
back. Such
1:31:24
a bunch of snowflakes in the mainstream
1:31:27
media. I mentioned this yesterday.
1:31:29
Sarah is Gert somebody
1:31:32
whom I know, and in fact, those
1:31:34
of you who used to watch real
1:31:36
News back in the day, we'll remember Sarah
1:31:38
had shorter hair, perhaps
1:31:41
a slightly different personal
1:31:43
style, but she was a not
1:31:46
frequent but she had multiple
1:31:48
appearances on real News. On
1:31:51
the Blaze TV, which was the
1:31:53
best obviously other than Glenn Show
1:31:55
for those of you who are glennback fans, was the best show ever
1:31:58
to be in my opinion, on the
1:32:00
Blaze TV, which was Real News.
1:32:02
That panel turned out to be a young
1:32:04
conservative all star panel, just not everybody
1:32:06
knew it at the time. But we've all gone off to
1:32:08
do bigger things in the media
1:32:11
sphere anyway, Sarah
1:32:13
Sarah Izger is getting
1:32:15
all kinds of heat and hate from
1:32:19
the left because she has worked for Republicans
1:32:22
and now she's in a position
1:32:25
of being an editorial
1:32:28
editorial position in the CNN newsroom
1:32:31
going into twenty twenty, and they are freaking
1:32:34
out. In fact, the DNC bunch
1:32:37
of cry babies over there, they're freaking out.
1:32:40
Two. The Democratic National
1:32:42
Committee has sought and received assurances
1:32:44
from CNN. This is from The Daily Beast today
1:32:47
that the network's new politics editor,
1:32:49
Sarah Izger, will not be
1:32:52
involved in the debates that the channel hosts
1:32:54
and moderates for the Democratic Party. The
1:32:56
assurances were provided after the Committee express
1:32:58
reservations to CNN
1:33:00
over Iger's history in Republican
1:33:03
politics, and after officials at
1:33:05
the committee raised concerns over her
1:33:07
alleged connections to a now
1:33:09
retracted Fox News story on the
1:33:11
debunked Seth Rich conspiracy theory.
1:33:14
Guys, this is pathetic, But
1:33:16
this really shows you who the mainstream media
1:33:18
is. What a bunch of whiny,
1:33:21
delusional cry babies they are.
1:33:24
Oh, I'm sorry, Candy Crowley
1:33:26
is a nonpartisan debate moderator.
1:33:29
Remember or who did
1:33:31
call it a terrorist attack during
1:33:33
the Romney Obama debate, remember that, or
1:33:36
mister Robin who did call it a
1:33:39
terror You know? Nope, sorry,
1:33:41
Candy, he did not. Obama
1:33:43
did not call it terrorist attack. But you know, fake
1:33:46
Tapper, what about him? Guy
1:33:48
worked for a Democrat congressional
1:33:52
aspirant and even worse than my view,
1:33:54
was part of the organization that became
1:33:56
the Brady Campaign to end gun violence.
1:33:58
That's right for an anti group. Oh
1:34:00
yeah, he's so nonpartisan.
1:34:03
George Stephanopolis was a Clinton
1:34:05
White House aide and he's
1:34:08
one of the most revered anchors in mainstream
1:34:10
media. I mean, it's sold. These people
1:34:12
are full of it. That's why they have to hide
1:34:14
their little pampered anchors from
1:34:16
having to have these discussions
1:34:18
in places where they can't control how
1:34:21
much time, who's there, who's showing up
1:34:23
when they go to commercial. They'll
1:34:25
never do it. They will never do it.
1:34:28
The mainstream media knows that there their
1:34:31
days are numbered with at least
1:34:33
the the patina,
1:34:35
the veneer of journalistic
1:34:38
integrity that they've been clinging to for all these
1:34:40
decades. That they know that their their
1:34:42
time I think is coming to an end. And
1:34:46
I read this a very interesting producer
1:34:48
Mike actually flagged it from me, this interview with Barry
1:34:50
Diller. Some of you might know Barry Diller.
1:34:52
He was ahead of I
1:34:54
forget Paramount Studios, I think or one of
1:34:56
the big Hollywood studios then was He's
1:35:00
He's been head of IAC, he was on the
1:35:02
board of the Washington Post. He's a big mover and shaker
1:35:05
in the media world. Help
1:35:07
found Expedia. I think or was involved
1:35:09
early on with Expedia. Anyway, he's
1:35:12
tender. You know, hey, swipe
1:35:14
left, swipe swipe right. You can thank
1:35:16
Barry Diller. He
1:35:18
was just saying how it used to be the
1:35:20
in this interview that the Hollywood studios
1:35:23
were the biggest thing, and the
1:35:26
network television got kind of
1:35:28
bought up by the studios. But it was all part of
1:35:30
this system. Right now, the system has
1:35:32
changed. Now the big kids on the block
1:35:34
are Google, Amazon, Facebook.
1:35:37
Now Silicon Valley has
1:35:40
more control over the content
1:35:42
funnels than anything
1:35:45
than anything else in the whole game. So
1:35:47
this is all shifting. And that's why I'm
1:35:49
trying to tell you early on that the
1:35:52
Netflix is and the Amazons and
1:35:54
the you know, these entities
1:35:56
are going to give the left and even
1:35:59
greater leg up than they've
1:36:01
had in the past, unless we start
1:36:03
to hold them to account for their biases
1:36:05
and also consider, you know, alternative
1:36:08
means of well, alternative
1:36:10
platforms. Quite honestly, you know,
1:36:12
nobody wants to believe this, but you
1:36:15
know, Twitter bands conservatives. It does not
1:36:17
ban liberals unless they're making
1:36:19
death threats, and even then it rarely
1:36:21
bans them. Nobody believes
1:36:23
it, but it's true anyway
1:36:26
that the DNC is
1:36:28
so scared, like a bunch
1:36:30
of little shivering snowflakes,
1:36:32
that they can have Sarah Izger go
1:36:34
work at CNN. I mean, I like Sarah.
1:36:37
She's a nice lady. Kind of feel bad
1:36:39
that she's going to be in the lions Den over there
1:36:41
because she's gonna find out real soon not a
1:36:43
good place, not an honest organization.
1:36:46
And there's some good people there, but a
1:36:48
lot of bad people, and the bad
1:36:50
people are the ones running things. Now. The
1:36:58
show ain't over yet, folks, keeping
1:37:03
it real, It's
1:37:06
time for roll call. That's
1:37:20
one of my favorite role call indrows of all the ones
1:37:22
we do. Quick note
1:37:24
for next week. Some
1:37:27
of you are probably familiar with
1:37:30
SEPACK, the Conservative Political Action
1:37:34
Conference. It happens annually
1:37:36
in Washington, d C. Well,
1:37:40
this will be the first year that I
1:37:42
make an appearance at Sepack. I
1:37:45
will be as of now at least
1:37:47
debating the issue of Syria
1:37:50
withdrawal on the main stage at
1:37:52
Sepack eight thirty
1:37:54
am a week from
1:37:56
tomorrow. So that is, let me
1:37:58
get the calendar out here. February
1:38:03
twenty no March
1:38:06
first, March first. Forget about February March
1:38:09
first at eight thirty am at
1:38:11
Sea Pack. So if you're planning on going to Seapack,
1:38:14
if you're in the DC area, definitely look
1:38:16
look out for me on Friday. I might pop into
1:38:19
support some of my buddies who will be giving speeches
1:38:21
as well in those days, and
1:38:23
I think the debate over the Syria situation
1:38:26
will be very interesting. So
1:38:29
if you can show up for that, please do and look
1:38:31
for me at Sea Pack. I want to see some members
1:38:33
of the team, especially
1:38:36
those of you who are Team Buck Campus Squad.
1:38:38
All right now, with that little bit of necessary
1:38:41
self promotion, Joe
1:38:44
Facebook dot com slash Buck Sexton.
1:38:46
To get in on this, Joe writes, you
1:38:49
must watch Firebirds Shields
1:38:51
High from Oss. Joe,
1:38:55
Joe, I am not familiar
1:38:57
with this fire John do you know fire
1:39:00
birds. I know not.
1:39:02
I know not the Firebirds, so
1:39:04
i'd have to I don't even I know. It's a car
1:39:07
that I think used to be kind of like a badass American
1:39:09
car driving a firebird.
1:39:12
Yeah,
1:39:14
it's kind of like a is a Firebird kind
1:39:16
of like a poor man's Mustang? Or is a Mustang
1:39:19
kind of like a poor man's Firebird. I don't know. It's
1:39:21
one or the other. And some of
1:39:23
the people that actually know cars in this audience are
1:39:26
are just yelling at the at
1:39:28
the radio right now. They are.
1:39:31
They should be discussed with me that I don't know the difference.
1:39:33
It's it's a fair point, Jim
1:39:35
writes. Role call okay,
1:39:37
Jim, We'll hear. The continuing hate
1:39:39
crime conspiracy continues after
1:39:41
the indictment of Jussie. He
1:39:44
orchestrated the hoax and the regressive
1:39:46
media, the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party
1:39:49
accomplices now take offense at being
1:39:52
outrage that it affects black at
1:39:54
being caught, rather being outraged that it
1:39:56
affects blacks and gays, never
1:39:58
mentioning the hate crime of false accusations
1:40:01
against white people, Trump supporters and
1:40:04
and others. The real enemy here are the liars
1:40:06
in the media, and until we have a constitution
1:40:09
loving network, we won't make real progress. Fox
1:40:11
is not the solution with the boys running the show,
1:40:14
allowing Shep and others to remain.
1:40:19
So you're saying that what
1:40:22
does accomplice not take offense at being caught
1:40:24
being outraged? Never mentioned
1:40:26
the hate crime of false accusations against white
1:40:29
people. I mean, yeah, we've been
1:40:31
talking about the Smallet hoax here all
1:40:33
along. It really is a hate crime against Trump
1:40:35
supporters. The hoax is a
1:40:38
hate crime against Trump supporters. Brian
1:40:41
writes, don't stop your
1:40:43
astute analogies because
1:40:46
a particular dislike a particular listener
1:40:48
dislikes them. Brother, your analogies are ammo
1:40:50
for many of us to win obvious
1:40:53
discussions with our liberal friends. All
1:40:55
right, Brian, I like it. We will
1:40:57
keep some of the analogies going. I'll just try to
1:40:59
keep them at a high
1:41:03
level. So it's important
1:41:05
to keep the analogies good, and
1:41:07
that much I think we can do. Michael
1:41:10
writes, the reason we knew it was a hoax
1:41:12
from the beginning is because we know
1:41:15
how absurd it sounded, and
1:41:17
it sounds over the top absurd. However,
1:41:20
to the left who think hate crimes are on the
1:41:22
rise. It was on a par with the fantasy that
1:41:24
they think is going on in this country. Are
1:41:26
the lives actually delusional or are they
1:41:28
lying about it to gain power? Michael, very
1:41:31
important question. I would
1:41:33
note that the hate crimes are on
1:41:35
the rise is a talking
1:41:37
point that is never able to on
1:41:39
the rise and on what time frame? What
1:41:42
kind of hate crimes? What a degree of hate crime?
1:41:45
Talking about people that say something mean to
1:41:47
somebody in a protected group. Are we talking about an actual
1:41:50
crime? This is
1:41:52
a talking point kind of like walls
1:41:54
don't work that the moment you dig into it, you find
1:41:56
out that's kind of a dumb talking point, isn't
1:41:58
It doesn't really mean anything. Hate
1:42:01
crimes are on the rise in the last thirty
1:42:03
days, in the last year, sixty
1:42:05
years, ten years. I've dug into
1:42:08
hate crimes as listed
1:42:10
by the FBI, and first of all, a lot of
1:42:12
what are considered hate crimes aren't really crimes.
1:42:15
A lot of them, about twenty or thirty
1:42:17
percent, are in
1:42:19
the category of verbal harassment
1:42:22
or some form of vandalism,
1:42:25
which is a crime, but is not something
1:42:27
that usually you
1:42:29
know, it's not the property damage that people are so
1:42:31
upset about. Usually it's the message. So
1:42:34
this thing you hear from people better, well, hate
1:42:36
crimes are on the rise. They said that hate crimes
1:42:38
were on the rise during all of the
1:42:41
Obama administration, that hate crimes
1:42:43
are on the rise. After every
1:42:45
major Islamic terrorist attack in this country.
1:42:47
I keep hearing about a hate crimes are on the rise, and
1:42:50
then I look at the statistics and it
1:42:52
doesn't bear it out. Hate
1:42:54
hoaxes, I would argue,
1:42:56
are definitely on the rise. So
1:43:00
there's that, Lisa
1:43:03
buck in the vein of the transgenders
1:43:06
in sports thing. I still
1:43:08
wonder why the feminist left is forcing us
1:43:10
to choose men over women. Isn't
1:43:13
that completely counterintuitive to their ideology?
1:43:16
Their identity politics will end up destroying
1:43:18
them from the inside once they actually
1:43:20
think about what they are pushing. You
1:43:22
can't have both female empowerment and then let
1:43:24
men compete against them. Shields
1:43:27
higher, Lisa, It's true.
1:43:29
I think that the feminist movement in this country
1:43:31
has gone so far left that it is
1:43:34
willing to sell
1:43:36
out women, which is
1:43:38
an amazing state of affairs.
1:43:40
But that's what's going on here, and what does
1:43:42
it mean to be a woman if a
1:43:45
man can, purely based
1:43:47
on psychology, claim
1:43:49
to be a woman, and everyone, under
1:43:52
pain of social ostracism
1:43:55
and maybe even government sanction, everyone
1:43:57
is now supposed to say, yes, that's a woman.
1:44:00
What does that really mean? What
1:44:03
does that really tell us? The
1:44:05
feminist left has no answers to this, They
1:44:08
just simply don't Steve
1:44:11
Rights, Heybuck love the show as
1:44:13
usual. Steve, the show loves you as
1:44:15
usual. Listening to the podcast from
1:44:18
yesterday, especially on the Navratilova
1:44:21
dismissal from the LGBTQ
1:44:23
community, and just wanted to note that Martine
1:44:26
competed versus Renee Richards,
1:44:28
a transgendered male to female
1:44:30
athlete who was allowed by the New York Supreme
1:44:33
Court to compete in women's tennis played
1:44:35
from nineteen seventy seven to eighty one with
1:44:37
I believe no titles and coach
1:44:40
navratilover to two Wimberland titles after
1:44:42
eighty one. So maybe Martinez
1:44:44
speaks with some confidence on the issue, just
1:44:47
saying shields way high. Well,
1:44:49
thank you, Steve. Now, there
1:44:51
are some sports where brute strength
1:44:54
and speed and physicality are
1:44:57
going to be an enormous advantage.
1:45:00
Tennis, it's an advantage but it's not quite
1:45:02
the advantage that it would be in say, track
1:45:06
and field, boxing,
1:45:08
MMA, football. You
1:45:10
know, you go down the list, basketball
1:45:13
even you know, there's less
1:45:15
physicality in tennis, and so
1:45:18
you have to be at a certain skill level. You
1:45:20
know, you could take the
1:45:22
strongest man in the world, I
1:45:24
mean, actually the strongest man in the world, like the guy
1:45:26
who plays the mountain on Game of Thrones,
1:45:29
and put him on a tennis court and a
1:45:31
decent high school female tennis player. I'm sure
1:45:33
we'll kick his butt, right because but if you
1:45:36
put that same guy in an
1:45:38
MMA ring with any woman in the
1:45:40
world, he's going to win by
1:45:43
a lot and it would be terrible and scary and the
1:45:45
whole thing would be awful. But that's the
1:45:47
difference I think that we need to keep in mind. Not all
1:45:50
sports are the same when it comes to the
1:45:52
strength and speed advantage. Next,
1:45:55
here we have George, who writes buck
1:45:59
so glad to see your smiling, rational,
1:46:01
intelligent mug on the news panels
1:46:04
Shields High. Well, George, thank
1:46:06
you so much. Man. I'm not even sure what panel I was
1:46:08
on Reason Oh, that's right, I was on Fox on Shannon
1:46:11
Bream Show. For those of you who
1:46:13
like to know these things. Shannon Bream is one of the nicest
1:46:15
people you'll ever meet. I don't really mean that, and
1:46:18
I know that she probably is not going to hear
1:46:20
this show, So this isn't I'm not kissing up. I
1:46:22
just I like to tell you who's nice and who's
1:46:24
mean in media, so that when you can make these choices,
1:46:27
when you're flipping through the channels, you're like, not only
1:46:29
is a good show, I know this is a nice
1:46:31
person because Buck would never never tell
1:46:33
me otherwise or never you know, lead
1:46:35
me astray on this, Sean,
1:46:38
Right, Buck, I love your tangential history,
1:46:40
deep dives, and movie talk. I
1:46:43
believe it to be beneficial to any audience that invest
1:46:45
time with a talk show host to occasionally get a
1:46:47
personality perspective outside the normal
1:46:49
daily grind. Rush does it too, Oss,
1:46:52
Thank you, Sean. Well, if Rush
1:46:54
does it, the Wayne
1:46:56
Gretzky of radio, the Lebron James
1:46:58
of radio, perhaps to be the Zion.
1:47:01
What's that guy's name he's supposed
1:47:03
to be like the best, like the new Lebron, the
1:47:05
Zion. I can't remember his last name, who
1:47:07
apparently just hurt his foot, but anyway, Yeah,
1:47:09
if Rush does it, what's got to be good. So
1:47:12
I'm glad that you enjoy a little bit of a peek
1:47:14
behind the personal curtain here.
1:47:16
And I really do feel a
1:47:18
sense of connection to everybody who listens
1:47:21
to this show, like we know each other. This is why I
1:47:23
can always tell when people who
1:47:26
are familiar with me, this doesn't happen
1:47:28
like it doesn't happen a lot of months of Oh I
1:47:30
I walk into the mall and everybody says hello.
1:47:33
No, it's not that at all. But people who sometimes watching
1:47:35
a Fox or enough you used to watch enough CNN
1:47:38
that they know who I am. They see me and they're
1:47:40
like, oh, you know, there's that person I've seen on
1:47:42
TV. When I see somebody from Team Buck
1:47:44
and they see me on the street, we got
1:47:46
a handshake, high five, or hug. It's
1:47:49
one of the three. Always, you know, we gotta stop
1:47:51
and talk and chat because it's it's
1:47:53
just a different feeling when you really spend time
1:47:55
with somebody on radio. I
1:47:57
mean, radio is a tribe. Everybody
1:48:00
who listens to this show is, at least
1:48:02
for the time they're listening, I mean, they're they're part
1:48:04
of we are part of a tribe. And
1:48:07
it's fun when you get to see people who
1:48:10
are in that you know are in that mix. I
1:48:13
can always tell. So that's
1:48:15
going to be it for today in the Freedom Hut,
1:48:17
my friends, we do have a fantastic show
1:48:20
plan for you tomorrow. So with that, I
1:48:22
bid you adieu and I wish
1:48:24
you shield tie
