"I'm used to the lies we used to tell the people" Buck admitted after a short interview following his retirement announcement. "We used to tell the people that things were OK, that we had terrorists to fight so keep spending, keep them boot straps pulled up and so on." he recounted "But this whole baloney about Trump and what he's been projecting, that's just too much" Buck conluded.

(Not part of the interview but I'd like to think that's how it'd really go)
