The Biden administration continues to lie to the American people about the economy and wants to spend even more money, which will only make things worse. They created this mess and are incapable of fixing it. Plus Karine Jean-Pierre refuses to answer questions about Hunter Biden and the red flag laws in Illinois did absolutely nothing to stop the Highland Park shooting. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A deranged man opened fire on the crowd at a July 4th Parade in Highland Park, Illinois, reigniting the left’s insane gun control debate. Democrats immediately politicize the tragedy and ignore the mental health issues surrounding the debate. California Governor Gavin Newsom is trying to become the DeSantis of the Democrats, despite his state being a complete mess. Plus Buck enraged the libs with one tweet over the weekend. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The American Presidency is arguably the most powerful office on earth, and one which comes with a great burden of responsibility--but what separates a good president from a failure? In this special edition of Hold The Line, Buck takes a look at four Presidents--George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Ronald Reagan--who exemplified the qualities that make a president great, and used their time in office to defend the liberty of the American people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Independence Day everyone! While Biden is running the country into the ground, just remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and once we take power from these lunatic libs, the country is going to finally be moving in the right direction. Plus Buck gives some excellent tips for the grill this weekend- make sure you have some sweet or spicy sausage, and you always have to season the buns along with the meat! Salt/pepper, olive oil or melted butter. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another fatal shooting in New York City, this time involving a 20-year-old mother as the victim - Buck breaks down the what's causing this increase in violence in the Big Apple and how city and state leaders continue to blame the issue on guns, rather then their own failure to enforce the laws. Plus, another major decision from the Supreme Court - a 6-3 ruling that the EPA lacks broad authority to shift the nation's energy production away from coal-burning power plants toward cleaner sources. Founder & Executive Director of Power The Future, Daniel Turner, joins Buck to discuss this major setback for the Biden Administration's efforts to combat climate change. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The EPA got a slap down today from the Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision that is a big blow to the unchecked power of the administrative state. Climate change loons are going to cry about it, but it was clearly the right decision. Unfortunately, by a 5-4 decision the court held that the Biden administration can end the “Remain in Mexico” policy despite what seems to be clear bad faith in the application of relevant law from the executive branch. And finally, a horrific shooting on the Upper East Side of Manhattan brings attention once again to New York’s crime problem and the failed liberal ideas that led to it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Superstar January 6th committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson turned out to be a giant flop, the Secret Service refuted her testimony within hours. The Libs are in full meltdown mode as they continue to try and take down Donald Trump by any means necessary. Plus the woke wing of the Democratic party is coming up with more absurd ideas on abortion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heartbreaking tragedy in Texas after 46 migrants were found dead in an abandoned 18-wheeler in San Antonio - Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies, Mark Krikorian, joins Buck to discuss this failed smuggling attempt and how President Biden's open border policies contributed. Plus, there was a big win for election integrity in New York City as the city's noncitizen voting law has been struck down in the courts - NYC Council Minority Leader, Joe Borelli, who led the movement to strike down the law, joins Buck to discuss the victory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In a truly horrific border-crossing event, 50 migrants died at the hands of the drug cartel. The Biden administration's continued fostering of lawlessness at the border is leading to exactly what we are seeing with all the fentanyl and other illegal drugs flooding in and now this tragedy of 50 dead in one incident of human trafficking. Plus the New York gubernatorial primary is tonight. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade ignited nationwide protests, some turning violent - Buck speaks with the author of 'Fighting For Life,' Lila Rose, about this historic ruling and what it means for pro-life activists. Plus, as gas prices continue to rise in the U.S., President Biden pushes his clean energy agenda at the G7 Summit in Germany - The First contributor, Tiana Lowe, joins Buck to discuss why green energy will only exacerbate the problem at the pump. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Supreme Court has ruled in another 6-3 decision (Kennedy v. Bremerton School District) that a high school football coach does have the right to kneel and pray at the midfield after a game is completed. This is a relatively narrow win for the First Amendment, but it comes after the blockbuster decision on Friday that overturned Roe vs Wade and ended the make belief federal right abortion. Now the Democrats will be forced to justify their insistence that 3rd term abortions are just “healthcare,” which is monstrous. And Finally, Biden is out of gas and his regime is heading for a midterm implosion. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A massive Supreme Court decision comes down today, in a 6-3 move upholding the Mississippi fetal heartbeat law and 5-4 striking down Roe vs Wade and Planned Parenthood vs Casey. This has been decades in the making- and is worthy of celebration and praise. The Roe abortion regime was legally and morally monstrous, and it finally comes to an end. Now the battle to protect lives of the pre-born is underway at the state level. And the midterm elections loom even larger in November.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Politicians lie like they breathe, they can't help themselves, this is nothing new. But the lies of the Biden Administration are next level, and Rob Smith breaks down exactly what they are and how they're crippling the American people. Plus, Pride month has been celebrated since the late 90's, but now the celebrations have become controversial - the President of Log Cabin Republicans, Charles Moran, joins Rob to discuss how some in the Pride community have shifted from the original message of love and acceptance to now pushing the sexualization of young children.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A huge victory for the 2nd Amendment came down today in a 6-3 Supreme Court decision, which makes the “proper cause” firearm permit issuing regime in six states like New York and California unconstitutional. This is a big win for the right to bear arms, and hopefully will lead to even more lawful gun ownership in states that have been unfairly prohibiting citizens from exercising 2nd amendment rights. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Major U.S. cities like Baltimore, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Atlanta, and New York City are all on pace to break their 2021 levels of violent crime halfway through this year - retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent, James Gagliano, joins Buck to discuss how the Biden Admin is tackling the country's crime epidemic. Plus, to combat skyrocketing gas prices, President Biden wants a gas tax holiday - the President of Mises Institute, Jeff Deist, joins Buck to explain why that's a bad idea. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Biden regime is almost out of tricks and the propaganda machine isn’t going to cut it, so now they are considering a gas tax holiday to bribe voters with their own money just in time for the elections. The funny thing is, Obama already called a gas tax holiday a gimmick years ago, and he was right. Then switching gears to the nationwide violent crime surge- Chicago no longer allows cops to give chase on foot in a vast majority of possible crimes in progress. This is lunacy. Plus the Democrat-led bipartisan gun restriction bill won’t stop any shootings but it’s a concession to gun grabbers. And “Donald Trump” (Captain Deplorable) stops by!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The left continues to push its radical social agenda, attacking pro-life activists and demanding trans women should compete against biological women in sports. Buck takes a look at the latest attacks from radical leftists. Plus, Elon Musk moved one step closer to completing his $44 billion takeover of Twitter when the company's board of directors unanimously approved his buyout offer - former Facebook employee, Kara Frederick, joins Buck to discuss what this move means for free speech on social media platforms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s no question now, the facts are in and the police response on the scene at the Uvalde mass murder was a total catastrophe of tactical error and inexcusable delay. There need to be clear lessons learned from this unacceptable failure, and going forward all law enforcement officers should know that the directive when there is an active shooter is to stop the threat, as soon as possible with whatever force necessary. Then on the political front, some elections are underway in Georgia, Virginia, and Alabama. Plus a lawnmower ruins a wedding, and it reminds Buck of the war on inconsiderate noise that we all need to pick sides in. No more speakerphone conversations at restaurants, good heavens!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the nation hurdles toward a recession, most Americans are busy figuring out how to pay their mortgages, put food on the table, and gas in their fuel tanks. You would think these would be the priorities of the people in power--but you'd be wrong. They're busy making sure your 1 year old is vaccinated against a disease that poses almost no threat to them and that you use the appropriate pronouns for transgender people. Buck takes a look at the growing disconnect between the priorities of the left and those of the American people. Plus, Tiana Lowe discusses FINA's decision to restrict trans swimmers and Benjamin Weingarten stops by to talk about the DHS's new efforts to use big tech to censor Americans.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Biden regime has dug in on the talking point that the recession is not inevitable, but pretty much everyone knows that it’s coming, and Democrats deserve the blame. They’re talking about raising taxes, as if that’s going to affect the price of milk or gas in a positive way. Plus now that the CDC has approved a 3 dose regimen of COVID Vaxx shots for kids 6 months to 5 years old, you’re going to see a surge of parents who are taking their children out for the first time in 2 years. Locking these kids away was child abuse, and these parents should be ashamed. Plus the latest information on the Uvalde school shooting indicates that the police response was even more inept and unacceptable than previously thought. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Biden economy is on the brink of full on recession, which is clear because their commie media flacks are talking about how a recession is “not inevitable” but yeah, it’s pretty likely. Plus Biden wants you to forget that 18 months ago, he was saying how much he hated oil, gas, and fracking of any kind. But don’t associate that with the super high price of gas right now! Meanwhile, the Mayor of New York is saying that drag queen story hour in schools and libraries for young children is a great idea and a blessing of diversity. Finally, Portland’s open air drug market from decriminalization has resulted in a 40% increase of drug overdose deaths, which is yet another massively failed lib policy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A week after San Francisco recalled its uber-progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin, another high profile DA will now face his own recall election - Senior Columnist at Townhall.com, Kurt Schlichter, joins Buck to discuss why voters in Los Angeles are ready to give DA George Gascón the boot. Plus, soaring inflation has prompted the Federal Reserve to announce it's biggest rate hike in nearly 30 years - Buck breaks down what President Biden's 'plan' is with President of Mises Institute, Jeff Deist  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

District Attorney Paul Gascon in Los Angeles is a “progressive prosecutor” which means he basically wants to make crime legal, and in his city like everyone across the country with lunatic libs running the criminal justice system, everything has gotten worse. Two brave police officers in El Monte, CA, were killed by a gang member with his gang affiliation tattooed on his face, and who should have been subject to 3 strike law but instead Gascon gave him probation for being a felon in possession of a firearm. It’s outrageous, and cost two cops their lives. Changing gears, the Biden administration is telling oil companies to just pump more oil and take less profit, which is Venezuela-style politics. And Kamala is now the anti-online bullying czar, which will go as well as everything else she’s in charge of. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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.

President Biden makes a plea to federal lawmakers to pass new gun control. Buck takes a look at what the president is asking for. Plus, Buck speaks to Senior Editor at The Federalist David Harsanyi about the attempt on Justice Kavanaugh's life, and former NYPD officer John Cardillo stops by to discuss San Francisco ousting it's ultra-progressive district attorney Chesa Boudin.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.

The Seattle Police have become woefully undermanned because cops have quit as a result of Democrats demonizing them. This has led to a situation where, as reported in the Seattle Times, they can’t even assign detectives to new rape cases in 2022 due to lack of manpower- which is utterly appalling and unacceptable. Political leadership in Seattle- left wing democrats- are to blame for this state of affairs, in that city and all around the country. Plus, Biden’s baby formula shortage gets worse, and he admits the economy isn’t getting better anytime soon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The DOJ asked a federal appeals court to reverse last month's order lifting the airplane mask mandate - Author of 'Pandemia,' Alex Berenson, joins Buck to discuss the coronavirus hysteria that is lingering across the nation in hopes to take control again. Plus, a North Carolina preschool teacher was caught using LGBTQ-themed flashcards depicting a pregnant man to teach young students colors - contributor at The First, Rob Smith, joins Buck to discuss the non-approved curriculum progressive teachers continue to push behind closed classroom doors. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

These libs are insane beyond words, we're two years into this and they still want to force face diapers on us all- but only on planes, trains, and buses! Biden’s DOJ is officially appealing the Federal Judge ruling from April that finally let us take our masks off on planes, because the Fauciite libs are obsessed with power and making people bend the knee wherever they can, no matter how stupid the reason. Also, financial heavyweight Jamie Dimon says we are probably heading into a hurricane for the economy (spoiler alert: he’s right!). And Whoopi Goldberg wants the government to take your AR-15s, but says you can keep your “Yee-Hah” guns. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The White House is allegedly becoming rattles by President Biden's sinking approval ratings - Jason Miller, Former Senior Advisor to President Trump, joins Buck to discuss the growing list of crises that our commander-in-chief appears to be unable to solve. Plus, the U.S. is finally understanding the devastating toll the pandemic and lockdowns had on young children - Danielle D'Souza joins Buck to lay out the shocking details on what 362 school counselors across the nation had to say in a recent New York Times survey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
