Buck Sexton With America Now

The Federal reserve has announcing it is raising its key short-term interest rates by three quarters of percent, in an effort to curb out-of-control inflation. It's the central bank's biggest rate hike in 28 years. Also ahead, a special congressional race in in the Lone Star State is making headlines today, as Texas' deep blue district 34 has elected its first Republican in history. So, could this be the first indication of the coming red wave in November? Plus, House Democrats vote against added security for Supreme Court justices after the attempt on Justice Brett Kavanaugh's life, and the White House is reportedly rethinking its sanctions on Russia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A special election just happened in Texas’s 34th congressional district, and a female Republican candidate, Mayra Flores- born in Mexico, wife of a border patrol agent- just ran away with it. Big congrats to Congresswoman Flores- and this goes beyond one seat in Congress. The GOP could be on the verge of a massive shift in Hispanic support to our side of the aisle, which could run up the scoreboard even more in the midterm election. Meanwhile, the dastardly Biden regime is apparently going to throw some mounted Border Patrol members under the bus because of the fake “migrant whipping” incident. And it turns out the Biden administration’s financial actions against Russia because of its Ukraine invasion might be hurting us here at home more than them- what a shock. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Inflation is at a 40-year-high, and President Biden is pointing fingers at none other than congressional Republicans - Texas Representative Kevin Brady joins Buck to discuss why the Biden Administration has offered no real solutions. Plus, as of this week, the markets have erased all of the gains made during the last year and a half, with the Dow Jones plunging nearly 900 points yesterday alone - Founder and President of Penn Financial Group, Matt McCall, joins Buck to discuss. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biden keeps mumbling nonsense about “creating 8 million jobs” (which no sane person believes) and now his White House is pretending we are in a “good position” to tackle inflation, which is like an arsonist telling you about how to put out the fire they started. Plus progressive prosecutor Larry Krasner is facing a recall effort, as the people of Philadelphia realize he is a lunatic putting their lives at risk. And finally, the baby formula shortage can be traced back to 2020 when the FDA failed to do basic safety checks of baby formula facilities because of lockdowns. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A number of recent mass shootings have caused the left to renew their efforts to implement new gun control laws around the country--that includes red flag laws, universal background checks, and even calls for a ban on Assault Weapons. But do any of these laws actually work the way they're intended? On this special edition of Hold The Line, Buck Sexton takes a hard look the left's latest calls for new gun restrictions and busts the myths of gun control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s obvious that the Jan 6 Show Trial underway in the Senate is meant not only to distract the American people from the disastrous Biden presidency, but also to plant the seed that maybe- just maybe- the lib DOJ will prosecute Donald Trump for “conspiracy to overthrow the government.” This would be insane, but what else are libs going to say, Biden is awful and Democrats are ruining the country? Plus GOP Senators bend the knee on gun control, because they are cowards. And NYC public schools spent over $200,000 on drag shows for kids as young as 3, which is madness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once again- and how many times can they get away with pretending it's a surprise?- the “experts are surprised" that inflation has hit a high of 8.6%, along with a 49% increase in the price of gas and a jump in the price of groceries over 12%. The American people are feeling the pain, but the Democrats think that an ongoing theatrical release about the January 6th riot (“insurrection!” they shout) in primetime is what really matters right now. It’s absurd, but the Democrats are clearly desperate, so the show trial will continue and the economy will keep getting worse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Joe Biden mumbled his way through a prime time interview with ABC Host Jimmy Kimmel - Columnist and Author, David Marcus, joins Buck to discuss Biden's nonsensical answers to soft-ball questions from the late night host. Plus, a nasty civil war broke out amongst writers at the Washington Post - host of the First Watch podcast, Steve Krakauer, joins Buck to discuss what triggered trouble in left-wing paradise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Biden hadn’t given an interview in 121 days, so who did he decide it was time to speak with to adress the American people? Jimmy Kimmel of course, the smarmy late night “comedian” who has a 6th grader's grasp of American politics (at best). Low IQ, unimpressive Biden did the usual pseudo- folksy “not being facetious” talking points, and took cheap shots at his political opponents. Maybe he should focus on helping to get the price of gas down. Plus Joy Behar- the dumbest woman on television- makes the most jaw-dropping statement about gun laws yet. Wow, she is impressively stupid. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A man was arrested last night outside Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh’s home with a gun, and he told police he wanted to kill the judge. This exactly what many of us were worried about as soon as the leak of draft decision that would overturn Roe vs Wade was leaked. The maniacal, vicious pro-abortion zealots (also known as the Democrat base) wanted to create pressure on the justices to change their decision- and  put the conservative justices’ lives in danger by doing so. Also on this episode, the DA of San Francisco gets the boot in the recall election, because even libs have their limit for endless crime. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A would-be assassin was apprehended outside the Maryland home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh last night - the foiled attack comes after a month of heated rhetoric by Democrats, who have encouraged demonstrators to protest outside the homes of pro-life justices, Buck breaks down the latest. Plus, one of the most liberal cities in America is putting progressives prosecutors on blast - former NYPD cop, John Cardillo, joins Buck to discuss if the recall of the San Francisco D.A. will send a message to soft-on-crime prosectors across the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nearly 10,000 migrants are marching through Southern Mexico and heading straight for the U.S. border. The group is timing their journey to coincide with the Summit of the Americas in Los Angeles this week. So what's the Biden administration doing to stem the growing border crisis? Sending billions of dollars to central America. Buck takes a look at the latest from the U.S.-Mexico border. Plus, the January 6th Committee is schedule to deliver it's findings to the American people this week. Claremont Institute Fellow Ben Weingarten gives his take on the coming dog and pony show. And National Review's Charles Cooke joins Buck to talk about the latest push for expanded gun control.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are thousands of migrants- traveling in perhaps the largest caravan yet seen- making their way to the border to illegally enter America. Meanwhile, VP Kamala Harris- is she still the border czar?- is joining with some private sector companies that are donating money to deal with the “root causes” of migration in Central America. That’s great, should really help the problem within a few decades, if ever. Plus cancel culture hits a libertarian Georgetown Professor as well as a WaPo lib journo. And two domestic terrorists have their sentences cut dramatically because- you guessed it- they're Leftists who were acting out as part of BLM. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With crime out of control in major cities across the country, it appears that some voters are beginning to hold prosecutors accountable - Buck explains how the tide could finally be turning against far-left criminal justice reform. Plus, almost a year after the formation of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6th protests, lawmakers are set to take their case public this week - but it appears they have some work to do with the American public - Senior Council at The Article 3 Project, Will Chamberlain, joins Buck to discuss what the latest polls show. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a string of mass shootings over the weekend in numerous urban areas of the country, Americans are asking what has caused the ongoing 2 year surge in violent crime? The answer is obvious: defunding the police madness and progressive prosecutors- all ideas coming from the Democrat side. Chesa Boudin in San Francisco, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, and many other prosecutors around the country have allowed anarchy and violence to surge in the name of "fairness." When Democrats prioritize “social justice” over criminal justice, thousands of innocent people are murdered and assaulted from the increase in crime. Cities decay as the law-abiding flee. Libs don’t care. They think we all deserve it. It’s our society’s collective punishment. But maybe, finally.. the tide is turning, and enough voters are waking up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Biden is making a plea to federal lawmakers to take action against gun violence in America...but what exactly is that so-called 'action?' Author and columnist, David Marcus, joins Buck to discuss how Democrats never explain how their legislation would actually stop shootings. Plus, New York City parents are blasting Mayor Eric Adams on the citywide mask mandate for toddlers - why is this insane order still in place? The First contributor, Tiana Lowe, gives Buck her take.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Biden had another opportunity to bring the country together with real ideas to lower violence, but instead gave a smarmy lecture meant to poke lawful gun owners in the eye. His proposals for gun control- storage requirements, assault weapons ban, etc- will do nothing to bring down 99% of shootings, and he knows it. The whole point here is to placate the hard Left authoritarian gun grabbers for the election. Plus the jobs report was ok for this most recent month, but it’s probably the calm before the storm of an imminent recession. And Dr. Birx says they use mandates so they don’t have to explain the “science” to peasants. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to a recent memo, the Seattle Police Department's Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit staff has been so depleted that it was forced to stop assigning detectives to new adult sexual assault cases this year. Buck takes a look at the latest fruits of the "defund the police" movement. Plus, Buck talks to the editor of Bearing Arms Cam Edwards about the federal lawmaker's efforts to pass new "red flag" laws, and former Defense Department official under President Trump Kash Patel gives his thoughts on the acquittal of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
