Buck Sexton (Ad reads and commentary)
So I thought I would be sending you off into this weekend with a podcast on Iran where we have an air campaign going destroying the military. But instead, actually the top searched item right now is Michelle Obama on X. People are very into finding out what is going on with Michelle Obama. And so I was just curious, how is it possible that when I'm talking to you now, she is the top trending search? This is like a facet in case study in how the media works. And then I see this Fox News story. Michelle Obama claims no way the Trump administration's behavior would be acceptable from the first black family in the White House. Now she said this on a podcast. I have to say she is so obsessed with two things. One, of course, race. She's just everything is race based. Everything comes through the prism of race with Michelle Obama always. But also she is truly such a malcontent. This is a woman who is incredibly wealthy, who has led an unbelievably privileged life, who is in no way, she is not particularly smart, she is not particularly beautiful, she's not particularly talented. She's not particular. She's just married to a guy who's a politician who is the most important Democrat politician really of the 21st century. And so she's treated like a, an incredible global celebrity. I mean, she is a global celebrity. And there are books that are put out that she didn't write, of course, didn't write a word of, but they're in her name and they sell because people like Michelle Obama, I need, this is the thing. You buy a Michelle Obama book not to read it because there's no point in reading it. You buy it so that you have it somewhere on a coffee table, maybe on a bookshelf. If you have Enough books for that, which most libs don't. But you put it somewhere so people see, oh, I have Michelle Obama books. It's like a bumper sticker. The pages could all be blank in the Michelle Obama book and you'd have the same effect. But this, I just thought, this is fascinating that you're going off into the weekend and I'm seeing that Michelle Obama. Is that the number one trend right now or trending story? And I saw my friend Megan Kelly has. Has come out today and is absolutely going after just all the whining and all of the just nasty and condescension and complaining from Michelle Obama. The notion that this woman was ever somebody who should have been taken seriously as a presidential candidate was always absurd. I always thought it was absurd. She's not likable. You know, I get it. People, a lot of people don't like Barack Obama's policies. I didn't like Barack Obama's policies, but he had a. He had a cadence to his speech. He had a. A swagger. He had, you know, he'd do that voice like this. And the whole thing, you know, he. It worked. He got two terms. You know, you got to look at what happened and what worked. Michelle Obama brings, not. Brings none of that to the table. None of those theatrics of politics to the table. And all she does is just whine and complain. All she does is just whine and complain. It's really remarkable. And so such that she can get in the center. All she do is complain. And she'll be in the center of the news cycle, at least for people who are right of center, because they just can't believe it. She's still complaining. She's still complaining. It's like, what are you complaining about? You have an easy life now. I know. Okay. Everyone has a quiet struggle. Everyone has their challenges. I have challenges. You have challenges. I get it. But by all the objective metrics one can look at, she's got a great deal more money than she'll ever be able to spend. More houses, more celebrity, love, more. But, you know, I'll tell you something, and maybe now I'm starting to sound like the gray beard that I am. But the older I get, the more I realize that people, at first, I think, love the adulation of crowds because it's intoxicating. But if you're actually a person who is grounded, who has a relationship with God, who has a sense, a true sense of the humility that all of us should, because we are all, I mean, not Just we're all sinners, but we are all frail in our own ways. We're all one, you know, one slip on the concrete away from a coma. I mean, any one of us could have a bad thing happen at any time. And we're all. There's some. There's a fragility to human existence is what I'm saying. And so you should have some level of humility. And what you realize is as. As you get prominent or you get better known that you. The adulation of crowds for people who become obsessed with that or become intoxicated by is like a drug that wears off because these people don't actually know them. So if you get your sense of self worth from people who don't know you, thinking you're so great and talking about how great you are, I think that inevitably becomes a black hole that cannot be filled. I think inevitably it just collapses into. Yeah, but they don't. These people don't actually know me. This is why I always say with what I do, for example, in media, it is. I love when people love my work. I want people to love my work. I want to do good work on radio. I want to do good work writing my book, Manufacturing Delusion, which you should all get a copy of if you're listening this podcast. You haven't gotten a copy of Manufacturing Delusion, which is a phenomenal book, by the way. New York Times bestseller. I wrote it all myself. Why have you not gotten a copy of the book? Please do. I would really appreciate the support. It's actually a really good book. You'll learn a lot. It's cool, you'll like reading it. But I always say that I want it to be about the work that I do, the insights, the information, the knowledge, whatever it may be. Because, yeah, of course I can't know everybody that consumes my content. So I want them to love my content. And to the degree that I can be a positive force in anyone's life through that content, it's a blessing and I embrace it. But I also know that you know the same way that you can't get your sense of self worth from people that you've never met you, you. Because if you did, by the way, the people that hate you, and I have people that hate me, which is crazy because I'm so nice. But people that hate me on the Internet and stuff, and you just have to separate yourself from that. It's about the work. It's about what you do. But for someone like Michelle Obama, she has gone through so much people, people have have propped her up and turned her into almost like a, a demigod of the Democrats and based on nothing. And they don't know her and they haven't spent any time with her. And now that they're getting to know her, like at least people that consume like radio host content, someone like me for three hours a day, they know a lot about me. They know what I'm like. Michelle Obama was all a media construct. They don't know anything about this person really. And now they're getting to know more. They like her less and less. So Megyn Kelly calling her out, totally correct on that. And you're just going to see more of this. But I just, again, it's not a big news story except anytime Michelle Obama starts complaining, people just lose their minds. And I get it because how can this person be complaining so much? We're talking about Kristi Noem here in a second. Some of you are going to get mad at me, but others are just going to say, hey, thank you Buck for telling the truth on that the whole time. The whole time. For years. For years. Not just recently on the gnome situation. But we'll get to that. Look, gold makes sense. Birch Gold Group is our sponsor here. That's who I get my gold from. And if you look at gold of last 20 years, it's rises in about 700% in 20 years. 65% last year alone. Having gold makes sense as part of your long term savings plan. And you can see if holding gold in a tax sheltered retirement account is right for you. Birch Gold Group can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA in gold. Just text my name, Buck to the number 9,898 98. To receive your free info kit on gold. There's no obligation, just useful information. A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau. Tens of thousands of happy customers. Let Birch Gold Group help you diversify with gold so you too can have peace of mind. Text Buck to 989898 text Buck to 9898 98. All right, Kristi gnomes out at DHS. Some of you probably don't want me to talk about it at all. I'm going to a little bit. Some of you probably really want me to talk about it because the warning signs were all there. My friends. This was not a person who was capable of doing this job. This is a person who has clearly based on her public conduct, I don't know her personally. I've only interviewed her a Couple of times ever, I think twice. Never had a conversation with her face to face. I'm judging her only by her public conduct. What she says in public, what she does in public, this is not personal. She was never up for this job. She was a poor choice for the job. She hurt the Trump agenda in the job and showed herself to be self obsessed and quite honestly, just nothing but a liability for President Trump and his whole team. They should have removed her from this job many months ago. And unfortunately, this is a case where loyalty over all else isn't necessarily the best way to fill a position in government. And what we found out when she tried to throw Trump under the bus with the, oh, he approved my $225 million ad budget, which was just a big, it was a Kristi Noem for President stealth campaign. You have to understand this $225 million of ads when you're at DHS, starring you. Are you kidding me? She was doing this because she was building her brand. Building her brand. She was going to run for president. At a minimum, she would want to try to slide in as a VP on the next ticket and, but she was going to run for president herself. And that was the whole. And clearly people around her were telling her that this was the way to, you know, build up her profile. So instead of focusing on a good job, she was taking all these photo ops with machine guns and things like this. It's like, why would she ever take a photo op with a gun with, with like a tactical, you know, tactical setup rifle? You know, she's got A, an M4 with, you know, an eotech on it and a laser. And what is this? You're, you're a desk bureaucrat with a lot of power in the bureaucracy. You're not, you're not kicking in doors. The whole thing was bizarre. The whole thing was just absurd. So they let that go for a long time. But, and I'm not even getting into the personal stuff, she says it's not true. Ok, I'll let you assess all this for yourself. Here. Here's what I do want to say about this. We have no time to waste. The Democrats are going to come back into power. The Democrats are going to be insane when they get back into power. They are going to seek reprisals. They are going to push the most insane policies. It is just a matter of time. Trump has to get as far in saving this country as he can. He has to take this in the most positive direction he can. And there's no time to waste. And I am. And on the issue of deportations and the issue of how DHS is run, we did not have this year to waste on somebody who seems more interested in her hair extensions and her photo ops than getting the job done. And that is just a fact. And people who didn't see this a long time ago. Look, Kristi Noem came on my radio show, came on our radio show with Clay maybe almost five years ago, and she lied. And I didn't like that. And she was lying. She was lying. And I knew she was lying because I had a tweet in front of me where she said something that she said. She had never said she was lying. But people got mad at me because they believe that, oh, I'm just from the ranch and I'm an all American girl. They believe the PR campaign around her. Well, now that Trump has had to fire her in a humiliating fashion, I might add, and really fire her and for why she has been fired. I'm just here to say I was right. And I always tell you the truth. Even when some people are going to tell me that they don't like what I have to say, I will always tell you the truth. She has always been a dishonest person. She has always been somebody who was a problem for the conservative movement.

She.

Buck Sexton (Ad reads and commentary)
She was not honest even about how she handled Covid in her state. She was actually far more willing to shut down than she pretended to be. It was the state legislature in South Dakota that would not let her shut things down. And then she took the credit for it. There's so much I could get into here. But she got into this game where she would. She would just say whatever she wanted. And because some guys are like, oh, she's a lot of men. A lot of men are the ones who are particularly susceptible to this. They'd say, oh, she's so pretty. She's so pretty. So I am, you know, going to believe whatever she says. Come on, guys, we're better than that, right? And I'm not judging her looks one way or the other. The photo op thing, I think, was gross. But it's not about whether she's pretty or not. It's about, we don't have time to waste. This Trump administration has a year to keep getting things done. Less than a year now before we go into a midterm. If Democrats take the House, they grind all this to a halt. Trump can still do some things with executive Order, but they're going to be a lot of federal judges who slow him Down. So the deportations issue is, I think, existential for the future of the country. And I don't think that Noam was the right person for this. And I've never thought she was the right person for this. And anybody who's followed me knows I've been highly skeptical. And I hated the thing about writing about killing the dog and also about lying. She lied about meeting the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. I think it was un at the time. Maybe it was ill. I don't know. Kim Jong Il at the time. Now it's on. She lied about that in a book that she at least signed off on. So this isn't an I told you so for some of you, because you've been with me, too. You've agreed. And I don't like to do I told you sos. But I will just note that I saw this coming. I am not surprised. And Trump made the right decision here, and we have to be all systems go. And he's done such a great job, you know, Rubio and, and, and Besson and Vance and Hegseth and go down the line. These people are all performing at the top level, and we need that. The weak link was the top of dhs, and that's gone. So that's a good thing. I think it's. It's a good thing for the country. It's not about my personal view of it, although that certainly comes out in all of this, too. All right, it's time for a little spring cleaning, and I know right where to start.
