1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: Make no Mistake America, Bring You're a great American Again.

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins analysts, He's a great guyon

5
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: no Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka sitting

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck Sexton. We are going to

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: try and get to everything today. Yes, there's news about

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 1: the bill, about the stimulus, about the relief, about all

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: of it. But I am focused on a couple of

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,639
Speaker 1: very special issues like the vaccine and the virus. And

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 1: I'm focused on next week and the electoral certification, and

12
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm focused on China and what the heck is going

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: on with China, because China senses weakness, at least I

14
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: think they do. So I've reached out to our buddy,

15
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, my go to on all things China, to

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: find out what the heck we should be paying attention

17
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: to and what if anything, Donald Trump can do or

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: should do in the remaining four weeks before January twentieth.

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: So he is here with us and we appreciate it.

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, my friend. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show,

21
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: and I hope you had to marry Christmas. Oh well,

22
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Mike, and merry Christmas and everything

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: to you and your listeners. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now,

24
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: if you guys are not following Gordon Chang on Twitter,

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with you. It's Gordon G.

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: Chang on Twitter. Gordon G. Chang. It is just one

27
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: of the best feeds in terms of volume and importance,

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: in terms of impact and information, especially as it relates

29
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 1: to things going on in China and the entire Asian peninsula. Gordon.

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I am hyper focused on China because I'm nervous about

31
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: what could happen with a coming Biden administration, and so

32
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we have four weeks left or four

33
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: years left, if there's a miracle for Trump. Do you

34
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: have a list of priorities you would like to see

35
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: addressed with US and China? Oh, I mean, it's just everything.

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: The most important thing, Mike is at the United States

37
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: cut contacts with China, trade, investment, diplomatic contacts, technology sharing,

38
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: cultural exchanges. And the reason is that Beijing exploits all

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: of those to overthrow our society, and so we have

40
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: not been able to manage that, so we have no

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: choice if we want to remain sovereign and free to

42
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: basically get China's regime out of our country. That's going

43
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: to be difficult. I understand a lot of people won't

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: agree to that, but we have not been able to

45
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: manage the China relationship on any satisfactory basis, So there's

46
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: no alternative. So you're an advocate of a pretty extreme answer,

47
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: and that is just cut the chord completely with China, trade, manufacturing, everything,

48
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: and that would be a gigantic, multi billion dollars deal.

49
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: It would mean a lot of businesses, a lot of

50
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: high profile businesses like sports like the NBA. How likely

51
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: is that to happen? Gordon? Well, right now it's not.

52
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: But if China were to do something tragic, then yes,

53
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: it would happen almost immediately. You know, we have seen

54
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: China's dangerous intercepts of the US Navy and Air Force

55
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: in the global comments, and we've been very fortunate that

56
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: we haven't lost anybody. But we know that China is

57
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: continuing to provoke US, and we have seen these attempts,

58
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: for instance, to injure our diplomats with OO sonic attacks

59
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: that happened in twenty eighteen in Guangzo, southern China. But

60
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: also remember, China deliberately took steps to spread the coronavirus

61
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: beyond its borders, which means that we have what three

62
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: hundred thirty thousand Americans have died from a disease that

63
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: China maliciously made sure came to America. And you're a

64
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: believer that China has already got a vaccine for the

65
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: coronavirus that they have developed and are giving to their

66
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: own people. Well, China is administering a vaccine, but the

67
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: vaccine has not completed phase three trials, and there are

68
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: some indications that it might not be as effective as

69
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: Beijing says. Chinese propaganda says that there are absolutely no

70
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: instances of side effects, but that's really difficult to believe.

71
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: And this really shows you know, Biden, for instance, has

72
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: said recently that the United States has no leverage over China,

73
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: or insufficient leverage. But let's just take a look at

74
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: this question of a vaccine. China had a head start

75
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: on developing a vaccine and it is nowhere near the

76
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: United State. We've got two very sophisticated vaccines Fiser in Maderna.

77
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: China is way behind us on this. Well, I'm with

78
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: you on that. I think our example is easy to see.

79
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm just curious about China and what their next move is.

80
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 1: I know Xi Xing Ping has been saying that their

81
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: ultimate goal is to be the dominant economy in the world,

82
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: and it seems like they would need the West and

83
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: the West to be complicit for that to happen. Why

84
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: don't we get some sort of coalition going together, Gordon?

85
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: Why hasn't the United States said to other nations, the

86
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: friendly nations that we do serious business with, Hey, we

87
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: all need to cut the chord with China. Well, I

88
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: think it's because there's Wall Street and very powerful interests

89
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: in the United States that maintain that we should cooperate

90
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: with China, and so that has worked, i think, to

91
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: maintain relations. But we have seen, actually the Trump administration

92
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: makes some significant advances in developing cooperative relationships with allies,

93
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: partners and friends. So, for instance, there's the Quad, which

94
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: is the United States along with Japan, Australia, and India.

95
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: Because we all feel threatened by China. We're starting to

96
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: operationalize that grouping and we're working very closely, so we

97
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: are moving forward on that. Also, in the Middle East,

98
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: effectively you've got well you have the Abraham Accords, and

99
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: that's effectively a coalition against Iran and by implication, against

100
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: China as well. So the Trump administration has done a

101
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: lot in this regard, but obviously we need to do

102
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 1: a lot more. Yeah, and we only have four weeks

103
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: left on the short end of the Trump administration unless

104
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: some sort of miracle happens on January sixth, which is

105
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: a very very slim possibility. So in four weeks, what

106
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: would you tell Donald Trump to really focus on. I

107
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: think he should focus on Huawei Technologies, which is the

108
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer. They've done a lot in the

109
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks on making sure that US chip

110
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: technology does not get to China. We should be doing

111
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: even more. We should be making more vigorous efforts to

112
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: get Chinese apps out of our society, like TikTok for instance,

113
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: which I think Beijing is used to inflame violent protests

114
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: in the US. But in any event, China doesn't allow

115
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: our apps in China, so why do we allow Chinese

116
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: apps in our society? This seems to me to be

117
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: fundamentally wrong on so many different levels. And I think

118
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: that President Trump should acknowledge that the Phase one trade deal,

119
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: which was signed on January fifteenth, was a mistake. China

120
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: has not been living up to its commitments to buy

121
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: US goods and services. So I think that President Trump

122
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: should just cancel the deal and further impose more tariffs

123
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Undersection three or one of the Trade Act of nineteen

124
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: seventy four. There are so many other things that Trump

125
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: can do in those four weeks. Four weeks, there's a

126
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: lot of time, especially because the administration has been thinking

127
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: about these things for months and months and months, So

128
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: they can do this if they want to. Yeah, well

129
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: I hope they would want to because time. Time is

130
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: moving pretty darn quickly, Gordon, and we're not seeing any

131
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: real bending from China. China seems to be very patient,

132
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: and that always seems to be what we've been told.

133
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: They're willing to wait us out because we look for

134
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 1: instant gratification in the West, but China is very comfortable

135
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: with a slow, patient turn. So how do you deal

136
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: with someone who's patient. Well, there's a number of ways

137
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: to deal with China, because it is extraordinarily dependent on

138
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: the US, and so we need to take advantage of

139
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: that leverage. You know, there's one other thing. Just a

140
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: few hours ago, China sentenced a citizen journalist for four

141
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,599
Speaker 1: years in prison, John John, which shows that China fews

142
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: fears that the truth about the coronavirus epidemic is a

143
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: mortal threat to communist rule. Well, we should be taking

144
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: advantage of that. We should be talking about this in

145
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: a much more vigorous way. We should be demanding independent

146
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: investigations of the source of the coronavirus. Some of the

147
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: steam is going out of that effort. So these are

148
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 1: things that the Trump administration can do to make a

149
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: fundamental difference in a very short period of time, I hope.

150
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: So we're talking with Gordon Chang. Follow him on Twitter,

151
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Gordon g Chang, Gordon, I have one last question that's

152
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: been bugging me. A couple of weeks ago, there was

153
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: a breaking news report overnight that there were something like

154
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: one point seven million Chinese spies deployed in various locations

155
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: in the West, in companies and in governments. And this

156
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: was on the heels of the Eric Swalwell's story about

157
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: the honeypot that he had an alleged relationship with. We've

158
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: heard nothing about that list of one point seven million

159
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: Chinese spies. Did that thing just get shredded? Well, yeah,

160
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: that was interesting because that was a list of Communist

161
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: Party members one point nine five million, which was and

162
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: what we learned was that we have Communist Party members

163
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: not only in companies, which we knew because Beijing insists

164
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: on Communist Party seals in large foreign businesses, but also

165
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: in ten consulates in Shanghai, including hours, including Britain's, including Australia's,

166
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: including New Zealand's. That's four of the Five Eyes. The

167
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: five Eyes is the Intelligence Sharing Consortium. So yeah, this

168
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: was quite stunning, and as you say, it came right

169
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: on the heels of the Eric Swalwell revelations, which that

170
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: has yet to be resolved because Swalwell has yet to

171
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: say in public whether he had a personal relationship with

172
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: a suspected Ministry of State Security agent, Christine fog So

173
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot more that needs to be done on this.

174
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: This is slow, patient work and it has to be

175
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: you know, the Trump administration is working on it. It

176
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: has to be continued by the Biden team, which I'm

177
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: sure they will because this is so fundamental. I hope

178
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: so from your lips to the next administrations ears, whether

179
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: it's Secretary of State or the intelligence community, I hope

180
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: they all keep pushing on this, and we'll keep pushing

181
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: as well. Gordon Chang is his name. He is might

182
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,600

195
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: we can exchange thoughts on many topics. I am not

196
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 1: saying the name of the bomber from Nashville. The Christmas day, Bomber.

197
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: I will not give any kind of publicity to people

198
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: like that. So, while I am very pleased that the

199
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: men and women of Lawnment were able to put this

200
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: exploded puzzle together in under forty eight hours, figure out

201
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: who this guy was, where he lived, etc. I'm not

202
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: going to say this guy's name. I will salute the

203
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: men and win a law enforcement, especially those who were

204
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: working on Christmas Day, because you know, if you're working

205
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, guess what you're low man on the

206
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: totem poll. You are the person who newest to the staff.

207
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: Let's just say so, those cops who were there, the

208
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: men and women who were on the scene in Nashville

209
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: and bravely, bravely dealt with that situation, they deserve all

210
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: the thanks we can possibly give them, so brilliant Good

211
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: for you, Bomber. While I'm kind of glad we saved

212
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the money, you know, we won't have to have a trial,

213
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: we won't have to incarcerate this person, we won't have

214
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: to pay for them. And God knows that this person

215
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: could have easily said, well, I suddenly feel like I'm

216
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: not a man, I'm a woman. I would like gender

217
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: reassignment surgery, and some judge would allow it to happen.

218
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that didn't have to happen. And to

219
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: the jack Wagon, the copycat idiot in the box truck

220
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: who was driving around Nashville twenty four hours later playing

221
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: the same kind of message, Yeah, I'm glad you're going

222
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: to have a hard time too. I'm really happy about that.

223
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: These are the kind of people who deserve extra time

224
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: in prison, copycat idiots who think it's funny to drive

225
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: a box truck playing the same kind of message on

226
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: the streets and causing shutdowns of highways, etc. While the

227
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: entire town is on edge. So to that idiot, enjoy

228
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: your time behind bars. Now someone's going to say, no,

229
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: we can't lock them up. Yes you can, and you should.

230
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping there are no other foolish people out there.

231
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: I did like the fact that the mainstream media actually

232
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: kept its powder dry, and yes, I'm using specifically that

233
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: Analogy kept its powder dry the hours after this explosion

234
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 1: happened and didn't start placing blame. Maybe we all learned

235
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: our lesson from Richard Jewell, but they weren't looking to

236
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: put this on a Trump supporter. They weren't leaping to conclusions.

237
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: It was all very good. So good job, mainstream media.

238
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you got one right. We have a lot of

239
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: other things to cover from the mainstream media tonight, a

240
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: lot of stories to get to, not just the Nashville story,

241
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: but we will have to get to the vaccine and

242
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: the virus. And I'm going to track down my buddy

243
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Clinic, doctor Michael Royson, will talk to

244
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: him about what he sees in the world of health.

245
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of people are questioning

246
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: the vaccine, and there are a lot of people who

247
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, I just want to wait until a

248
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: couple hundred million people have taken it. I don't know

249
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: if you're going to have that option. I really don't know.

250
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: We'll also get a hold of Eddie Scary from the

251
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner. Eddie's a friend of mine. I worked with

252
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: Eddie at the Blaze Full Disclosure and Eddie Wright's opinion columns.

253
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: And it's a pretty good one out that relates to

254
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: whether or not we'll ever go back to working in

255
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: an office. There are some people who say we shouldn't.

256
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: And even if your company allows you to go back

257
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: to work in an office that if people show up

258
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 1: every day, they have an unfair advantage. I love these

259
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: people who think, well, they're the office Karen's, aren't they.

260
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that and some of the other

261
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: unfolding stories. Plus I'm obset asked with January sixth, what

262
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: is going to happen in the joint session of Congress

263
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: on January sixth? So I'll tell you what. Why don't

264
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: Why don't we get Fred Lucas from the Daily Signal

265
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: on the phone when we get back, we will break

266
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: down what is going to happen? What might happen in Washington, DC?

267
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Could Donald Trump pull off the ultimate Hail Mary play?

268
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: Can the contesting of the electors actually make headway? I

269
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's already built into the constitution for

270
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: people to protest it, and we'll get Fred Lucas to

271
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: break it down for us. That's just around the corner

272
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show with me Michael Pelkins sitting

273

Speaker 1: Glad to be here, And as I mentioned, January sixth

278
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: is going to be an interesting day. It's the day

279
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: that the Electoral College votes are certified in the Joint

280
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: Session of Congress, and something weird, amazing, crazy could happen.

281
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: And so in order to understand what weird, crazy and

282
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: amazing things could happen, I brought in a guy who

283
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: I think understands it all. Fred Lucas from the Daily Signal,

284
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: the chief national correspondent. This guy's an expert on crazy

285
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: stuff happening in elections. His book Taken by suspicion As

286
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: details all of the madness from the past. Fred, I'm

287
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 1: glad you're here to help us out. Welcome back, my friend. Yeah,

288
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. I'm glad you're here because

289
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: everything in my world is pointing for me to get

290
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: my tale to Washington, d C. On January sixth because

291
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: of all of the the anticipation of what's going to

292
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,880
Speaker 1: happen around the certification of the Electoral College count. Um, am,

293
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: I right to be there. Do you think is there

294
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: really going to be some fireworks possibly happening? Well? Well,

295
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: there will be fireworks. UM. Historically this has been a

296
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: sort of a very procedural situation in which the Congress

297
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: simply certifies what the Electoral College already did UM, going

298
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: back to basically an eighteen eighties a law that establishes

299
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: how to do this. However, there have been it's very typical.

300
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: What is very difficult about this year is that, UM,

301
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: there have always every time, I should say every time

302
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: a Republican wins, practically democratic lawmakers and make objections during

303
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: the during the proceedings, and during these certification of the

304
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: electoral college vote usually goes nowhere. However, they usually need

305
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: a Senate sponsor or. They didn't get a Senate sponsor. Notably,

306
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: last time there were a number of members that made

307
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 1: believe eleven members who made objections to certifying Trump's electoral

308
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: college win. In two thousand and there were I think

309
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: something like twenty objections from House Democrats, and in those

310
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: cases none had a Senate sponsor. So UM. In two

311
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: thousand and five, actually or January two thousand and five,

312
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: there were objections to Bush's victory in Ohio, which is

313
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: what led to defeating John Kerry. That year, there was

314
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: Barbara Boxer. She was kind of not the brightest bulb

315
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: in the Senate, but but she did step forward to

316
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: um to make a sponsor of that objection, and they

317
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: forced a vote on that debate and a vote on

318
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: that that was just simply one state. So it is

319
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: going to it's while it's it's not unprecedented by any means.

320
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: This has happened before, this type of thing. This year,

321
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot different than previous years.

322
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see at least one Senator

323
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: join in sponsoring an objection from probably several House members. Okay,

324
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: and I think you're going to see maybe I am

325
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: two hours debate on each of the six states in

326
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: question here. So we've got a joint session the House

327
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: and the Senator gathered. The Vice President at the time,

328
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: Mike Pencil, will be there, and what they normally would

329
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: do was a ceremonial certification of the Electoral College vote. However,

330
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: in instances in the past, as you mentioned, we have

331
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: seen people stand up and say I object, I protest,

332
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: and if it's a House member who protests, they need

333
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: a member of the Senate to kind of co sign

334
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: their their stuff, right right, right, right, yeah, Yeah, has

335
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: one member from each House, at least one member from

336
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: each hour co sponsor in this and then then if

337
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: that's the case, at that point, it would go to

338
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: both the joint session adjourns. The House goes in the session,

339
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: the Senate goes in the session to debate that objection.

340
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: And is that debate a minimum of two hours or

341
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: a maximum of two hours? Oh, it's it's a maximum

342
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: of two hours. Okay, so they could which is odd

343
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: in Washington. I wish we could do more of that

344
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: in Washington. Yeah, that's a great point, Fred Lucas, that

345
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: is an excellent point. So as somebody stands up, they're

346
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: they're trying to certify the electors from one state, and

347
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: a member of the House stands up and says I

348
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: object to this, and then a senator stands up and

349
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: says I'll second that, and they break and they go

350
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: to their various chambers they were cospective chambers, and they

351
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: have then up to two hours to debate this, right right, yeah,

352
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: and it'll be um, it'll be open debate. So c

353
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: SPAN will probably be an interesting network that day. Um

354
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: yea that they will be uh yeah, they'll be debating, uh,

355
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: I believe that they will be debating each state separately,

356
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: so this can go on for a long time, UM

357
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: debate if they this to the twelve states, so this

358
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: could go past the actual day, This might bleed over

359
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: into the seventh Yeah, yeah, quite likely, am I or

360
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: end of the wee hours? Yes, yeah, maybe midnight that

361
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 1: they'll make a decision. Now in your article, I noticed

362
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I know Mo Brooks, Senator Mo Brooks or Congressman Mo

363
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: Books has has been one of the people who stepped forward.

364
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: Are there a number of senators who've actually said I'll

365
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:01,479
Speaker 1: raise my hand and support any of these objects? Well? Uh,

366
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 1: Tommy Tuberville, the senator elect from Alabama, which is also

367
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: where whole Books is from, has recently like gave the

368
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 1: strongest indication that he's going to do it. That would

369
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: probably be one of his first acts as a senator.

370
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 1: M rand Paul out of Kentucky. UM. I'll get to

371
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: why that's interesting in a minute, but rand Paul says

372
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: he he's open to h sponsoring a challenge. Also, Ron

373
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: Johnson out of Wisconsin UH is also open to sponsoring

374
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: a challenge. Rand Paul is interesting because being from Kentucky,

375
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: that's the same state as Cinemajority leader Mitch McConnell. Mitch

376
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: McConnell is doing all he can to avoid this. He

377
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: doesn't want any of his members sponsoring uh this. He

378
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: would rather this, you know. He he's an old school guy.

379
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: He would rather listen to just kind of formula league

380
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: go on through um um. So, well, we'll see how

381
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: that works. I mean, we've seen Rand Paul and Mitch

382
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: McConnell split on some things in the past. There they're

383
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: pretty different types of Republicans, those two. But I yeah,

384
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: I mean that that's going to be a maybe a

385
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: problem between the leader and some of his troops on that. Okay,

386
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: so we've got these states, possibly six states, seven states,

387
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how many states who could have a challenge.

388
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: If any challenge is then debated and supported, what happens

389
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: when they come back from the debate. Do they vote

390
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: on whether or not to accept the challenge? And does

391
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: that then negate those electors? Well, yeah, the most that

392
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: could happen here is that a being of course unlikely,

393
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: But the most that could happen would be that the

394
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: Senate and the House, the poland controlled Senate, the democratically

395
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: controlled House, would determine that certain state or states the

396
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: third electoral votes don't count. What would happen then is

397
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: that it would go to the House of Representatives to

398
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: decide who the president is, because that would that would

399
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: mean neither Biden nor Trump had a majority of Electoral

400
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: College votes of two seventy So that would go to

401
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives to decide the president. The Senate

402
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: would decide the vice president. This could be crazy, but

403
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: this is so far on the outside. This is the law.

404
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: That's that's that this is if if it really goes

405
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: up far, the most likely scenario I think is that

406
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: you will have probably several House members make a challenge

407
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: to this. I'm talking about probably in the um as

408
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: many as well. One hundred and twenty six House Republicans

409
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: signed them to the Texas lawsuits. So you can have

410
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: challenges or objections at least co sponsored by as many

411
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: years one hundred or more House members with their name

412
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: on it to these various states, probably all six contested

413
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: states that are being litigated and so forth, and then

414
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: probably at least one Senator and you'll have debate. But

415
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: after those debates, I think the Joint Session will reconvene

416
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: and then it will go to Biden, it appears, But

417
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm just putting out the scenarios of what could happen.

418
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: And you know, twenty has been a highly unpredictable year

419
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: or so, yes it has. Well, fred the law of

420
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: averages says anything will happen that can even though it

421
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 1: is a rare occasion and a rare occurrence. You know,

422
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: if Biden could lose a couple of states, that they

423
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: might debate other states and say, you know those are okay?

424
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: Or do they have to debate them in a package

425
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: all of the states that are in question. Yeah. Yeah,

426
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: it's my understanding that they would they well, they could

427
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: probably opt to do either. I think that could probably

428
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: we could in the probably seeing there another procedural vote,

429
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: maybe in the joint session as to whether they'll vote

430
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: on them as a joint package or whether they'll vote

431
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: on them independently. I would think Trump would have a

432
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: better shot if they voted on them independently, because Trump

433
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,399
Speaker 1: he could flip. He doesn't have to flip all six states.

434
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: He could flip Pennsylvania and one or two other states

435
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: and then he could win. Huh so um. And yet

436
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: the Senate, which will pick the vice president, and the House,

437
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: which will pick the president. But what if the House, Well,

438
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: we know how the House could vote because it's controlled Republicans,

439
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: be careful about how the House would vote. The Democrats

440
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: have a majority in the House. But remember, if it

441
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: were to go to the House is decided by state.

442
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: Each state delegation in the House gets one vote, so

443
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: Republicans control the majority of House state delegations. Okay, who

444
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 1: votes first? Fred? If this, if this happens, who votes first?

445
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: I think they probably If this happens, the House will

446
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: probably vote first, and they'd probably just go down by

447
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: like a um alphabetical list Alabama, Arizona. No, but I mean,

448
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: does the House vote before the Senate? I believe so. Ok,

449
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 1: the House will vote before the Senate. So then, so

450
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: let's say the House decides. Okay, nobody's got enough electoral votes,

451
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: but we want to vote for Biden, and they end

452
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: up making Biden the president and they make Trump the

453
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: vice president, and in the Senate they could do that.

454
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: I would think they would probably go with a or

455
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't make that's the vice president. Who who have

456
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: a problem for Biden. I'm just saying there, they're they're

457
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: all kinds of I know. I'm married to a soap

458
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: opera writer, so I see these kinds of crazy scenarios.

459
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: You know, this is I mean, yeah, this would be yeah,

460
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean life is imitating House of Cards now, it is? It?

461
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Sure is. Well. I hope we don't have flying dragons,

462
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: although that could happen this year, certainly could. Fred Lucas,

463
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: thank you for trying to explain all this. It is

464
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: very wonky, but it is fascinating to me. It is

465
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 1: um it is the ultimate Washington three D chess and

466
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: it's all been in the Constitution all these years, all

467
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: these hundreds of years. So I'm I'm hoping we get

468
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: to see some political theater on the sixth. And I

469
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: sure appreciate you for explaining it to us. Yeah, and

470
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: and please check out the article. It's just got three

471
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: things to know as twenty twenty election moves to Congress

472
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: on Daily Signal dot com and I'll I'll tweet out

473
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: a link to it as well. Thank you, Fred, Thank

474
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: you Fred Lucas of the Daily Signal. There he goes

475
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: and here I go. Michael Palka's stepping aside on the

479
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Michael Palka here sitting in for my

480
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: friend Buck Sexton as we wrap up twenty twenty and

481
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: hope that twenty twenty one is not a crazy year

482
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: like this past year was. And you know, last year,

483
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: we started the year with the assassination of Kastam Solamani

484
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: with the president taking out a deadly terrorist, and then

485
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: he gets impeached, and it just went kind of sideways

486
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: from there, not totally downhill, but it did go sideways.

487
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking over some of the stories of the day

488
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: that nobody's talking about. Nobody's really talking about the fact

489
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden is finally, finally now divesting himself from

490
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: the investment firm, the Chinese investment firm that he has

491
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: apparently been making money from for years. How was that

492
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: allowed to go on throughout the entire campaign. I'll tell

493
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: you how the mainstream media didn't care. They look the

494
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: other way the whole time. That's how it works when

495
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: you have a D after your name. It's maddening. It's

496
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: absolutely maddening. And speaking of maddening, how about this happy

497
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: holidays everyone. I wanted to take a moment to send

498
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Quanza. Like so many

499
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: other holidays, we will be celebrating Quanza a little differently

500
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: this season. In our home. We'll be doing it over zoom.

501
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating

502
00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: Quanza every year. Our family would in our ended family,

503
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: we would gather around, across multiple generations, and we tell stories.

504
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: The kids would sit on the carpet and the elders

505
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: would sit in chairs, and we would like the candles,

506
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 1: and of course afterwards have a beautiful meal. And of

507
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: course there was always the discussion of the seven principles.

508
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 1: How about the principle of truth. I don't think there

509
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: is a personal life who actually believes that this woman

510
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: celebrated Quanza. She was two when quanza was invented, invented

511
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: by a college professor. Yeah, I'm sorry, Kamala Harris. I

512
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: don't think any of us believe any of this is true.

513
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,959
Speaker 1: All you have to do is just read the comment section.

514
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: She looks like she's laughing through the whole thing. So

515
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Kamala. Your quanza declaration sounds like Bravo Sierra

516
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: to me. But you know, I'm just opining. I have

517
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: no proof. Although I would like to see some family

518
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: photos that show you all sitting on the carpet with

519
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: the elders in the chairs discussing the seven principles. Maybe

520
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: you'll post those on the Transition Team website. All right,

521
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm stepping aside. Second hour coming up on the Buck

522
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We have to talk to my buddy, doctor

523
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: Michael Royson from the Cleveland Clinic, and so much more

524
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: to get to on The Buck Sexton Show with me.

525
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 1: Michael pel you're in the Freedom Hende. This is the

526
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show podcast. It's Michael Pelca filling in for

527
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: my friend Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show. Thrilled

528
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: to be here. I hope you had a great Christmas.

529
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna hang out until the new year gets here

530
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: pretty much, and we'll try and cover all the news

531
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: of the day plus some of the other stories that

532
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: interest me. Cyphically, I'm trying to figure out what the

533
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: heck is going on with the COVID, with the vaccine

534
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: with the herd immunity. And that's why I brought in

535
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,479
Speaker 1: my friend from the Cleveland clinic, doctor Michael Royson. He's

536
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: the guy behind the What to Eat When cookbook and

537
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: the What to Eat When book. The guy is all

538
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: about living healthier, living younger, so we can live better

539
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Let's hope twenty one is going

540
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: to be a great year. Welcome doctor Roysen my privilege.

541
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully it'll be a great start to the new year.

542
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 1: I hope, So, I really do hope. So I'm trying

543
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: to think that we've knocked off all the weirdness in

544
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and we've cleared the decks and all the

545
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: craziness can be pushed aside. So before I get into

546
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: this week's medical research, I have to ask you a

547
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: question about over the weekend, doctor Fauci, who got his

548
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: own day. By the way, in Washington, DC, they name

549
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: Christmas Day doctor Fauci Day. And I don't know if

550
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: you have a day or your own, but not yet,

551
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: not yet, okay, well, doctor projeck out one and then

552
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: he went on TV and Dan a bash Over at

553
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: CNN lived up to her name and kind of bashed

554
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: him around a little bit and said, hey, you keep

555
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: moving the gold posts on herd immunity. He ducked the

556
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: question a little bit, But how do you feel about

557
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: this herd immunity thing. I know you've had you've had

558
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: discussions with me about it. I thought you always said

559
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: it was around seventy percent. It depends on the infectiousness

560
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: of the organism. For example, with measles, which has an urn,

561
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: that's how many people one person will infect. Of seventeen,

562
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: you have to have about ninety nine percent to get

563
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 1: herd immunity, that is ninety nine percent and have to

564
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 1: be infected. We've seen that because about ninety eight percent

565
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: and infected, we still have these outbreaks. With a FU

566
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: which has a infectiousness of the one and a half

567
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: or two, then you only need about sixty fifty to

568
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: sixty percent to get made to stop major outbreaks. The

569
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: problem we have with this is it's mutating and getting

570
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: a little more infective. That is the newer strain is.

571
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: In fact, I think what he's doing is he's hedging

572
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 1: on the newer strain being here without actually saying that,

573
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: meaning with the older strain where chat on our nod

574
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: of someplace between two and three, meaning one person would

575
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: usually infect two or three people. Then you'd need about

576
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: sixty to seventy percent protected to get hurt immunity. But

577
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: with a new with the new mutant in Great Britain,

578
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: which may well be here already people think it's here.

579
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: In fact, since it was really first there in September,

580
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: it means that we need and that may be the

581
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 1: cause of this increase in outbreaks. We're seeing that we

582
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: need at least eighty percent herd immunity to get to

583
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 1: stop major outbreaks. And so that's what he may be

584
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: saying now as they are not changes, as the effectivity

585
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: changes with new mutations, we need more. All right, Well,

586
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: that makes sense and also it makes sense now you've

587
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: got me thinking, doctor Royson. With the these latest surges

588
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: in cases, they appear to be on the East coast

589
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: and the West coast. New York and California appear to

590
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: be getting hit the hardest, and those would be the

591
00:38:56,120 --> 00:39:00,280
Speaker 1: places that you would most likely expect travelers from Europe

592
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: from England to be going first. And so that does

593
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: make sense because I wondered, why are these states which

594
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 1: have some of the most strict regulations on lockdowns, etc.

595
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: Why are they having these outbreaks while if the most

596
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: infectious type of this COVID is in those states. First,

597
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: I guess you're going to see that, so that may

598
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,240
Speaker 1: explain it. Now, I'm I'm waiting for somebody to boil

599
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,720
Speaker 1: down the data for me. I'm sure they'll have it soon.

600
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: Can we talk about some of the health research stuff

601
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 1: that you sent me, because absolutely this is very cool.

602
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: And now the second one on your list is one

603
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: that my wife and I were talking about yesterday. Does

604
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: your dog have diabetes? We're wondering if our dog is diabetic,

605
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: she's drinking a lot of water and she's peeing a

606
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 1: whole lot, and how would that make me at higher

607
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: risk for diabetes? Well, too, we don't know the real transmission.

608
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: It may be that you're sharing some of your dog's bacteria.

609
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: It may be that you're feeding her and yourself more

610
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: sugared food. It may be that you both are not

611
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: doing as much exercise. Now, I know you get out

612
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: and do a lot of exercise, especially with the record

613
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: number of hole and ones you've had, so that zero

614
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: is not a record, doctor, Zero zero is not actually

615
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: a number. Zero is a number, I know, a bad one,

616
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: But the point I'm bringing out is you get a

617
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: fair bit of exercise, but your dog isn't walking the

618
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 1: golf course with you. So one of the things that

619
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: most people get is their dog and they get the

620
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: same amount of exercise that ten thousand steps a day

621
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: that we and that got propagated as the right number

622
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: is it really helps break down insulin resistance, and that's

623
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: the key. So what we know now is that the

624
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: first place insulin resistance shows up is fat in your muscle,

625
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: and then once you get fat in your muscle, in

626
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,919
Speaker 1: the next place is fat in your liver, and then

627
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: you get overall insulin resistance. But the fat in your

628
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: muscle makes it much worse for everything else in your body.

629
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: So let's go back. So what diabetes is a is

630
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: an insulin resistance state, meaning the insulin that you got

631
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: can't do its job. And the job of insulin is

632
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: like a mailman whose job is to take the mail

633
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: and take it the glucose from your blood and into

634
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: your cells. When glucose, when sugars in your blood, or

635
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: when fructose is in your blood, it does harm, It

636
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: deterior it causes the proteins that you have to not

637
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: function as well when it gets in the cell. When

638
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: it gets the glucos in the cell, that glucos gets

639
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: to be metabolized and used for energy. So insulin resistance

640
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: means you keep more in your blood that damages your

641
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: proteins and lets you function less well, causing accumulation of fat,

642
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:30,760
Speaker 1: causing the muscles don't function as well. And that includes

643
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: your heart muscle, and it also includes all the other

644
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 1: organs like you liver and kidney. Wow, I know it's dangerous,

645
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: and that explanation makes great sense because nobody ever explains

646
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: it like that. They just have commercials advertising drugs when

647
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: we should be getting out and walking and walking our

648
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: dogs and all that stuff. As we're in the food

649
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 1: area here, doctors, we're talking about the things we take in.

650
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask this question. I've asked chefs this question.

651
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: Sea salt, kosher saw and pink salt. Are they any

652
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: different than table salt? Are they any better or worse?

653
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: Force Well, they may not be as good because the

654
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: value of table salt is it's iodonized. Now, it used

655
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: to be that much sea salt would accumulate some iodine

656
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: from the sea as well, but the iodonation helps youre

657
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: is needed for thyroid function, especially when you start growing up,

658
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: so when you're young, and we don't tend to get

659
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: enough iodine when we're young, So having regular sea salt

660
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: when you're young and when salt isn't a problem may

661
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: be a good thing. The kosher salt and the pink

662
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: salts generally are just sodium chloride and no iodine, none

663
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: of the small things that come with it, small minerals

664
00:43:55,160 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 1: and other and even vitamins that attached to it. Okay,

665
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: I know my chef friends say it's just they're just

666
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: selling you expensive salt. That Yeah, the pinks it's not

667
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,479
Speaker 1: only expensive, but it's not as good. Well, that's that's

668
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: good to know. While we're on this and talking about

669
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,959
Speaker 1: things we put in our bodies, you're always talking about

670
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: omega threes. Why are omega threes good for us? Well,

671
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: we need omega threes as they are important in the

672
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: cell membrane of almost every cell, but especially your brain.

673
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 1: And they're not storage fats, but they're structural fats. What

674
00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 1: that means is they're important at conducting nerve transmission, so

675
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: they're they're important in what the cell does, and we

676
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: don't get enough of them. They come from we know

677
00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 1: it is salmon and ocean trout and sardines fish like

678
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,439
Speaker 1: that have them, and they get them from plankton, which

679
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:10,320
Speaker 1: are both if you will, in the sea largely. The

680
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: other places avocados walnuts are the only nut with appreciable

681
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: omega three. Chia seeds can oil. There's there are a

682
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: few other places you get them flax seed when they're

683
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: ground that are helpful. And what those do is fifty

684
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: percent of your brain is fat, so it's good to

685
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 1: be called a fat head. And sixty percent of the

686
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 1: fat is omega three, so it's a structural fat there

687
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: that helps your brain process. Getting eleven hundred milligrams a

688
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: day decreases your risk of heart disease and stroke. And

689
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: it should be not just any old fat. It should

690
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: be DHA and epa. Those are the the what you

691
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: want to see on the label of fish oils is

692
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 1: eleven hundred milligrams a DHA or epa when you combine them.

693
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: So that's what you need for your heart and preventing stroke.

694
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 1: You need nine hundred milligrams, So just figure eleven hundred

695
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: milligrams a day for preventing brain dysfunction and for keeping

696
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:26,240
Speaker 1: your brain young. How much is that? That's three six

697
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: ounce portions a week of wild salmon. That's a fair bit.

698
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: So that's why most of us take a supplement vitamin

699
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: of omega three in addition to trying to get salmon

700
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: an ocean trout. So it's got to be the wild salmon.

701
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: It can't be the farm salmon that has less of

702
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: that omega three. Well, it can be, but it's got

703
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,479
Speaker 1: to be. Then instead of getting eighteen ounces three six

704
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: ounce portions, you need six six ounce portions because you

705
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: only get about half as much from that. So the

706
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: fish that have most of it in it that don't

707
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 1: have other contaminants, wild salmon and ocean trout. Sardines also

708
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: are a good source. Yeah, but sardines, that's just a

709
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: nasty sandwich. Doc, I'm sorry. I can't do the sardines.

710
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 1: I can do me. I can't either, So that's why

711
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,360
Speaker 1: I love salmon. I'm with you on the salmon. His

712
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: name is doctor Michael Royson. He is my go to

713
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: guy on all issues. Medical, Doc, I appreciate you being

714
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: there so much. I'm looking forward to the new year

715
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: and the healthier year for all of us. Thank you,

716
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: my friend, Thank you. I'm looking forward to it too, Michael.

717
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: And there he goes, and here I go. Michael Pelka

718
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: stepping aside on the Buck Sexton Show. You're in the

719
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome

720
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: back to the buck Secon Exton Show. Michael Pelca filling

721
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 1: in for backing. I need to check in on Nashville.

722
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 1: So I've got my friend Pamela Fur on the phone.

723
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: Pamela is with super Talk ninety nine in Nashville afternoon

724
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 1: host newscaster. Hello, Pamela, Yeah, Super Talk ninety ninety seven.

725
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 1: All right, we got the ninety nine seven in there.

726
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: Thanks Pamela. I'm glad you're here. We need to talk

727
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: about your town. How is Nashville doing well? I mean, truthfully,

728
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: we're strong, we are resilient. But this has been a

729
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: tough year for Nashville all around. First, we had tornadoes

730
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 1: that ripped through Nashville and took out a lot of businesses,

731
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,919
Speaker 1: a lot of buildings on the East side of Music City. Then,

732
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: of course COVID shut everything down, and because Nashville is

733
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: run by liberals Democrats, a lot of people are out

734
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 1: of work, Musicians aren't playing anymore, there's no tours going on,

735
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: and so we've been hit really hard with that. And

736
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: then to just top it off for twenty twenty, you

737
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: have this bomb that explodes in downtown Nashville. It's but

738
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 1: we're again, we're strong, But boy, this has been a

739
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: tough one, Mike's it really has. Yeah, but the people

740
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: in Nashville, everybody I've met from Nashville is just rock solid.

741
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: And you knock them down, they look at you as

742
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: they're getting up and go, oh, yeah, yeah, it really

743
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: is true that that is a very good assessment. Well,

744
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: and they're also wonderful people. Except I'm kind of concerned

745
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: about your mayor, who seemed to be chuckling through some

746
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: of the early interviews right after the bomb went off.

747
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, I have to wonder, and I've been asking

748
00:49:41,960 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: this for a couple of days. You know, everybody got

749
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: the call early in the morning. No one was expecting

750
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: to have to face cameras in the morning. I have

751
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: to wonder if his Christmas morning ritual is a little

752
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: bit of Christmas cheer, you know, because he was not

753
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 1: he was very a little too gig Gale, you know,

754
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 1: for this particular situation, he was too jovial. He's smiling,

755
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 1: he's laughing. He said, it's just a bunch of glass

756
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: blown out a lot more than that. And so I

757
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 1: have to wonder if he if he had a bloody

758
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: marry or a mimosa or two. Well, maybe he went

759
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,439
Speaker 1: to midnight Mass the night before, and you know there's

760
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 1: always a brunch after midnight Mass, so before you know it,

761
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: the sun's coming up and maybe maybe just gotten home.

762
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that might have been it happened to

763
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: somebody you're talking to at this point in time in

764
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: the past, just throwing that out there. We're talking with

765
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 1: Pamela for her she is in Nashville, and give another

766
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: Sun an update. What a remarkable story that in forty

767
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: eight hours, law enforcement, the combined law enforcement, could reassemble

768
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,880
Speaker 1: the jigsaw puzzle that was all the debris and figure

769
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: out what happened. And thank god, nobody died. But your

770
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: law enforcement really stepped it up. I have to tell

771
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: you that. Yeah. Absolutely. And here's what I find amazing.

772
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: There are six police officers that we're calling heroes today

773
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 1: and with the exception of the sergeant that's in the group.

774
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: You're looking at people although they've been with the department

775
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: for a little bit, we're not talking twenty years. We're

776
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 1: talking these are three year veterans or two year veterans.

777
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: These are young law enforcement officers. And so to have

778
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: the wherewithal to know, you know what, we need to

779
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: evacuate people, and we need to evacuate them now, get

780
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: them out of this area. To run into the situation

781
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: like that, not panicked, relying on their training, I think

782
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: is absolutely remarkable. Yeah, it is a tribute to the

783
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: city and the people of Nashville. And wow, you nailed it.

784
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: Because the people work on Christmas morning, they're usually the

785
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: people with the least seniority. They I cannot look at

786
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: the boss and go now, I'm not working at Christmas, right,

787
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 1: They're the ones that have to do it. And so

788
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: the you know, thank God that these guys and girls

789
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: were all on duty when they were These were the

790
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 1: right people at the right time, and and nobody died

791
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 1: except for the alleged bomber. Yeah, and I'm sorry for

792
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: saying this. People, we won't have to pay to put

793
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 1: them up in prison for the rest of its life. Yeah,

794
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: We're just going to put him in a little urn

795
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: and put them away somewhere, and that's a good thing.

796
00:52:28,320 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: Pamela fur I'm so appreciative of you taking the time

797
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,080
Speaker 1: out of your day. I know you're busy. Please give

798
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: Nashville our regards. We love music city and we hope

799
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: to be back soon to celebrate with you. Absolutely. Thank you, Mike.

800
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: Have a good day, you too, Pamela. We'll be right

801
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: back on The Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to

804
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: back to The Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca, the Godfather,

805
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: sitting in for Buck for a few days while he

806
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: relaxes in Florida, and I think he's trying to take

807
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: a Twitter time out. Actually, if you've been following Buck's feed,

808
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. But I have things

809
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: I need to talk about, questions I need answered, especially

810
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,879
Speaker 1: when we look at the crazy stories of the week

811
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: and the one about Alec Baldwin's wife, his latest wife, Hilaria,

812
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: whose real name is Hillary, and she has been passing

813
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: herself off as Latina or is it Latin X. We'll

814
00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: have to figure that out. The topic of cultural appropriation

815
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: is one that I need help understanding. Are their penalties,

816
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:40,359
Speaker 1: are their liabilities? What goes on with that? And some

817
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: other crazy legal questions. So I've invited our friend, attorney

818
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: author Wendy Patrick to join us. Wendy is with us.

819
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 1: Welcome my friend to this final Monday of twenty twenty,

820
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 1: the weirdest year ever, and I'm wishing it farewell. Let's

821
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: help twenty one gives us better. Mondays, Oh, it's always

822
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 1: a pleasure, and it's going to be a great Monday

823
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: next year, isn't it. I hope? So I hope we

824
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: start the next year and a much better footing. But

825
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, ending the year, we are

826
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: full of crazy legal stories, and I have a couple

827
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 1: of things I want to pull on your sleeve about

828
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 1: and ask your questions. Is there a penalty anywhere that

829
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, a legal penalty for cultural appropriation? You know?

830
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: My first instinct was to say not yet, because it

831
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: is one of the really trends that we've seen over

832
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: the last decade where many people at least are accused

833
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: of perpetuating at least a belief let's say that they

834
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: immigrated here from elsewhere, or that they wholesale are of

835
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 1: the different nationality than they really are. And that's been

836
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: something that we've seen more and more. Now, how often

837
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: would it done before? We really don't know. It really

838
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: wasn't a thing but cultural appropriation into something that's very

839
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,319
Speaker 1: very much objected to by people that actually are from

840
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: other places and did go to the challenge of immigrating

841
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: here legally, assimilating, learning the language. They're very offended by

842
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: people who pretend to have done it all but actually

843
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: grew up in the US. Yeah, it's really wild. And

844
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: the one that comes to mind, the biggest one that

845
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: made the biggest splash was, of course, a few years

846
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 1: ago Rachel Dolizal, the daughter of two white parents who

847
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: pretended that she was African American. She got to the

848
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,360
Speaker 1: point where she was an executive with the NAACP, a

849
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: chapter I think in the Northwest, and then the story

850
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: came out and she went underground. But we've since found

851
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: there were professors, professors who were at university, had tenure

852
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: and were professors of like black cultural studies programs, and

853
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: they went, nah, I'm really not I don't have any

854
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: black blood in me. And I better admit at this

855
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: now because the story's coming out and there has been

856
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: no legal penalty, no law against what they did. But

857
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: they paid a price in their careers, in their professions

858
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 1: being ostracized. So is that enough or is there something

859
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: here that the law could actually be written because it

860
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: seems like there's a whole lot of squishy turf that's right.

861
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: And remember, I mean remember Elizabeth Warren and the Indian nationality.

862
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we have so many high profile examples of

863
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: people who have been called out for allegedly proclaiming to

864
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: be of some ethnicity that they're not. The Rachel Dolisol

865
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: that was a huge example. But what did it do.

866
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: It really opened the floodgates for a lot of other

867
00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:44,800
Speaker 1: people to do exactly what you said, Mike, I better

868
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:47,919
Speaker 1: fess up now. I'm fascinated by this culture. I've spent

869
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: a lot of time there maybe not correcting people that

870
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: falsely claimed they were born there. We see more and

871
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: more of that. It's one thing to have an affirmative misrepresentation,

872
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: your check boxes on some sort of a form and

873
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: you know you're lying, versus simply sort of going with

874
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: the flow, and people are saying, well, what was it

875
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 1: like to grow up in Spain, what was it like

876
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: to be this nationality? What are your experiences growing up

877
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,200
Speaker 1: African American where you're really not but you kind of

878
00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 1: go with it? And is there a legal line where

879
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: you can actually get into trouble well criminally civili. I mean,

880
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: there's going to be a different answer for each but

881
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: I think you mentioned one of the most practical aspects

882
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: of that question. Who are we going to make an

883
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: example of? And how many other people are we going

884
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: to sweep in to this active or passive misrepresentation. What

885
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: we're learning over the last at least five years is

886
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: that it happens all the time, far more often than

887
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: we realize it does. And I guess the case that's

888
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 1: most irritating or most frustrating to me is when somebody

889
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: culturally appropriates the life of a person who's in the military,

890
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: and we actually do have a crime for that. It's

891
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: called stolen valor. And if that's right, that's very different. Yep,

892
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: good example. So that's out there. There actually is something

893
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: that protects the reputation of the men and women who

894
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: serve this country. And if someone's faking the funk and

895
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: saying that they were in the service and they did

896
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: do service to this or for this country and they didn't.

897
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,400
Speaker 1: They can get in a heap of trouble. But not

898
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: so if you said, you know, well, I grew up

899
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: a poor black child and so I know the experience

900
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: here and you didn't. In the case of Rachel Dola's

901
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: all that's right. Well, here's the difference is you can

902
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: say whatever you say, that's one thing. But to apply

903
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: for benefits because you're claiming to belong to a protected

904
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: class or a privileged class or whatever type of class

905
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: is going to get you the benefits, then you have

906
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: fraud crimes. And so that's the big difference. Many people

907
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 1: at cocktail parties say all kinds of things, and you know,

908
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: we don't go home and google everybody that we've met,

909
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: but tell you what, if we did, we might found out.

910
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: There are some people that are embellishing, that are exaggerating

911
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: some of it, are flat out and making things up.

912
00:59:07,120 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: It's sort of like people lying on dating websites about

913
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,560
Speaker 1: their height, their way sometimes to rage not one whole category, right,

914
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:16,439
Speaker 1: I think we could go on and on about that one,

915
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: but that you wouldn't say, well, we're going to charge

916
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: those people with crimes. But if you're claiming to be

917
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,760
Speaker 1: a veteran in order to avail yourself the benefits that

918
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: are only available to veterans, well, then that's a front crime.

919
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: And we see this type of thing all the time.

920
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: There are lots of different types of criminal laws that

921
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 1: penalize lying about qualifying for different kinds of benefits, including

922
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 1: the stolen valotype laws. But most of the time we're

923
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: talking about getting pummeled in the court of public opinion,

924
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,640
Speaker 1: where you're arrested and tried and convicted simply by claiming

925
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: to be of an ancestry you're not. Now here's an

926
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: interesting thing about that, Mike that I've noticed in the

927
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: last five years, because you and I have been talking

928
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: about this, is what if you really do believe you

929
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: are of a different nationality. I mean, remember that Elizabeth

930
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Warren was one of those people that said, look, this

931
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: is the heritage I grew up with, and this is

932
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: what we were told. You know, maybe that's all true,

933
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: and if it is, you can't very well be guilty

934
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: of affirmative misrepresentation if you've never done twenty three and

935
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: me or whatever the latest test is, and then how

936
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: do you prove that somebody didn't honestly believe that they

937
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: were of some particular nationality. So, I you know, it's

938
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: like squishy is your word. I'm going to say that's

939
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: a good word. I always like slippery slopes because you

940
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: remember what we talked about around the time that Rachel

941
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,439
Speaker 1: Dole is always making the news, is well, what if

942
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: you say you're of a different gender or of a

943
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: different orientation sexually or I mean, you could go on

944
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 1: and on about the things that people come up with

945
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: because they would like to belong to a class that

946
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: they really don't belong to. Where do we draw the

947
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: line saying this is your culpable here, but you're not here.

948
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,960
Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting conversation that we're going to

949
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: keep having. We are and watched the case of Alec

950
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: Baldwin's latest wife, Hilaria as he always calls her Hilaria

951
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: or Hilaria. She's really named Hilary and she was born

952
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: in Boston, and she's been misrepresenting that for a long time.

953
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 1: She been telling people she's Hilaria and she's from Majorca, Spain,

954
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: when in fact she's a Boston girl and now she's

955
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 1: going to take a break from social media. If that

956
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: were somebody who was related to a popular conservative entertainer,

957
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,920
Speaker 1: there would be no rest, There would only be attention.

958
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: I want to get to this one other topic, Wendy,

959
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 1: Are we going to need more time to talk about

960
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 1: the New York Times story about the fifteen year old

961
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: girl who posted a three second video years ago and

962
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: she used the N word and it was I don't

963
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: know how to describe what she was doing, but someone

964
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 1: hung on to that clip for years, and when she

965
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: finally got into college, that clip was made public and

966
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 1: now she has lost access to her college entrances and

967
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: many other things. Can we hold a fifteen year old

968
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: a minor responsible for what they did? Can our past

969
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,919
Speaker 1: misgivings and our past stupid sayings, can they come back

970
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: to haunt us legally? Well, it sounds like the answer

971
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: is yes. And that's unfortunate because many teens and sometimes

972
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: even preteens, I mean, you have these everybody's got phones

973
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,800
Speaker 1: in their hands, will say and do things that they

974
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 1: will very much regret, sometimes only a couple of years later.

975
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: Is it then fair that we hold on to what

976
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,680
Speaker 1: they didn't said when they were fifteen years old and

977
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 1: use it to ruin their life, to use it to

978
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,439
Speaker 1: ruin their chances it's succeeding when they've matured, when they've

979
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: grown up. You know, this is the type of thing

980
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: that strikes fear into every pa parent that knows that

981
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: their kids have a cell phone. It's what are they

982
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: going to record? What are they going to do? Are

983
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: they going to take photographs of themselves in compromising positions?

984
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: Are they going to use spoul language or racially insensitive language?

985
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: And if they do, are we going to bring it

986
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: back years later to try to ruin their life. This

987
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: is everybody's I say, every parent's worst fear, because unfortunately,

988
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: when you're fifteen, sometimes you don't recognize the trouble you

989
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 1: could be getting yourself into by what you do and

990
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: say at that young age. I only hope that people

991
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: take into consideration that a fifteen year old doesn't have

992
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 1: the mind of an adult. That's why we have the

993
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: whole juvenile system of treating criminals that commit crimes when

994
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: they're young. So too, the court of public opinion, I

995
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: think should recognize the same, and I think they do

996
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: to some extent. Her name is Wendy Patrick. She is

997
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 1: our legal genius that hangs out with us on a

998
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: regular basis and we're going to have to get her

999
01:03:57,320 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: back here soon. And if you want to know more,

1000
01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: go to Wendypatrick PhD dot com. Thank you, my friend.

1001
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: Oh it's a pleasure, Mike, thanks for having me. And

1002
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: there she goes. Michael Pelca with you on the buck

01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show Michael Pelca and

1007
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: from my friend Buck Sexton, and we're going to try

1008
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: and take you all the way to the end of

1009
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We're going to drag the year up to

1010
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:34,720
Speaker 1: the cliff and the I'm going to shove it off

1011
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: and hope it goes all the way to the bottom

1012
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: of the canyon and never comes back again. Has that

1013
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: a little too rough? It's my language concerning to you.

1014
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: If it is, then you might be part of the

1015
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: Words Matter task Force that I would take exception to.

1016
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: The Words Matter task Force is actually something that exists

1017
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: on a college campus. Yes, the University of Michigan has

1018
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: the WMTF, which sounds like it's an abbreviation for someone cursing.

1019
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: But the Words Matter Task Force is out to level

1020
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: the playing field in language. This is one of the

1021
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: most ridiculous things of twenty twenty. It was established by

1022
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: the Information and Technology Services Department at Michigan State. I'm

1023
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: sorry the University of Michigan. I'm sorry Michigan State people.

1024
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Your group couldn't possibly come up with something this dumb,

1025
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: could it? Maybe it could. So the more than two

1026
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: dozen words that are listed on the blacklist, which actually

1027
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: is one of the words on the list blacklist, So

1028
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: we can't even say it's a blacklist because that would

1029
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: be racist, right, That's how ridiculous this is. But some

1030
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 1: of the words on the list are picnic and brown bag.

1031
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: Now I carried my lunch in a brown bag? Am

1032
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I not allowed to say I'm brown bagging it anymore?

1033
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: While at Michigan they want you to say it's lunch

1034
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: and learn time. What is wrong with people? And we

1035
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: can't say picnic anymore, we have to say gathering. Well,

1036
01:06:24,200 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: a gathering could be many things. A picnic might be

1037
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: a gathering, but not all gatherings are picnics. These people

1038
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:35,800
Speaker 1: are idiots. They said that picnic is racist, then where

1039
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 1: did they get this idea from idiots on the internet,

1040
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: of course, And despite the fact that in July Reuters

1041
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:50,520
Speaker 1: a news agency actually published a piece headline saying fact check,

1042
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 1: the word picnic does not originate from racist lynchings. It

1043
01:06:57,000 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: does not. Somebody put out a bunch of image is

1044
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:05,439
Speaker 1: on social media claiming that picnic originates from extra judicial

1045
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: killings of African Americans. And this is false, This is

1046
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 1: not even close to being true. We're also not allowed

1047
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 1: to use the word dummy anymore. That should be replaced

1048
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 1: by the word sample. What a bunch of samples these

1049
01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: people are. And we can't use the word crippled. We

1050
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: have to use weakened. We're not allowed to say something

1051
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:36,560
Speaker 1: is crazy, we have to say it's unthinkable. And the

1052
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: term off the reservation, you're not allowed to use that

1053
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: anymore either because that's racist. Apparently, you have to replace

1054
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: that with out of the norms or rogue the language police.

1055
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: They are everywhere and they're not going to give up

1056
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: until we all have just generic words for things. They're

1057
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:02,960
Speaker 1: doing it with genders. They're doing it with language. I

1058
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:08,040
Speaker 1: think this is just insane. You remember when the low

1059
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 1: hanging fruit term was decided that that was racist. A

1060
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: college professor said it's racist for African Americans. He said,

1061
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:22,479
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit, we think of lynching. Not everything's racist.

1062
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: May Hicks Jones, a faculty member at the Elgin Community

1063
01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: College in Illinois. Grandfathered is also racist. Remember that we're

1064
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: now let's say something is grandfathered in anymore. That's racist.

1065
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: And the master's golf tournament, yeah, we can't use that anymore.

1066
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: And I guess we're not allowed to use the term

1067
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: master bedroom either, because that's racist. If you're saying that

1068
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: you have a master bedroom in your home, you must

1069
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 1: be a slave owner. This is madness, people, And the

1070
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 1: sooner we stop the madness, the better our country will be,

1071
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: the better America will be, the better the world will be.

1072
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 1: Language is something we have to fight for every single day,

1073
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 1: and I, for one, am committed to do it. That's

1074
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: why I broadcast from the constitutionally protected free speech bunker

1075
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: in the woods of Arden, Delaware, where the language you

1076
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 1: should fight hardest for is the language that offends you

1077
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 1: the most, and that's exactly what I'm committed to do.

1078
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show.

1084
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: joining us on the phone is somebody I work with

1085
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: during my time at the Blaze, my brief time at

1086
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: the Blaze, and his brief time at the Blaze. Eddie

1087
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: Scary is his name. He is one of the more

1088
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: entertaining writers you will encounter, and he's over at the

1089
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner, but he's on the phone with us right now.

1090
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 1: Hello Eddie. I'm Mike Mayor Christmas heading into the new year.

1091
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: Happy New Year in advance, Yeah, thank you, I'm you

1092
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,880
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a weird new Year. I spent

1093
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:32,599
Speaker 1: twenty three years in Midtown Manhattan, and they're still preparing

1094
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: to drop the ball. But there's gonna be nobody there.

1095
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Why why are they even bothering? Well, I guess there's

1096
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: some people who watch it on TV, but no I

1097
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,000
Speaker 1: think the atmosphere won't quite as won't quite be the same. Yeah,

1098
01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a hundred people there, the first responders,

1099
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 1: one hundred lucky first responders. The last time we did it,

1100
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: there were I think just under a million people gathered.

1101
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: At least they won't have to fight for a bathroom.

1102
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: That's to be the only good thing. But it just

1103
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me what happens in the

1104
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: scary household on New Year's Eve? Where will you be? Well?

1105
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm in South Carolina visiting family. I came

1106
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 1: for the holidays. Yes, I actually traveled. I'm sorry. I'm

1107
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: sorry to the CDC. I actually did travel. But I

1108
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 1: will return the head of New Year's two where I

1109
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: actually live in Washington, GC, And I don't know yet.

1110
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't have any plans yet. Usually I figured something

1111
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 1: out to do last minute. You know, everything in DC

1112
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: is very very restricted. I think they're actually they've actually

1113
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: shut down indoor indoor dining. They did on the twenty third.

1114
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: They shut it down and it'll be that way through

1115
01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 1: the fifteenth of January, so there's no where you can

1116
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 1: really go anyway. I'll probably just see I might go

1117
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: head over to a couple of friends house or something

1118
01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: like that. Socially distanced New Year's of course, I'm sure

1119
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: right you're gonna be mask and spending time away from everyone.

1120
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 1: I'm a socially distanced person anyway. I kind of like

1121
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: it that way. And the big crowds really have never

1122
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: been for me. While I'm with you on that, even

1123
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: though I've a regular Marty Gras in the past, it's

1124
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: never been enjoyable when you can lift your feet up

1125
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: and you won't fall to the ground, that's how dense

1126
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,639
Speaker 1: the crowds are. Some of those not a good place.

1127
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,879
Speaker 1: Let's talk about DC because DC is a very strange

1128
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 1: place these days. As you said, indoor dining closed, and

1129
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 1: I think some of the outdoor dining joints even have restrictions.

1130
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: You left town to go to South Carolina to be

1131
01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: with family, so you missed doctor Fauci Day in Washington, DC.

1132
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: That's try he got his own day and wasn't it

1133
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve? Yes, I'm sorry to miss it. I'm

1134
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: sure I'm sure they weren't sorry to see me go,

1135
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did unfortunately miss that very very special day. Yeah, well,

1136
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure that next year, he'll get even he may

1137
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: get a week. Who knows he is Uh Saint Fauci.

1138
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: At this point traveling Um in the airport? What was

1139
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: that like? I have not traveled either by train or

1140
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 1: by plane, which is something I used to do monthly

1141
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: since the pandemic. Was it um socially distanced? Was the

1142
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: plane full? Empty? Mask? The whole way? The plane was full? UM?

1143
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: I know that I know Delta. I think it is

1144
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: still doing empty middle seats. This was not Delta. It

1145
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: was a full flight. UM. The airport itself. I had

1146
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 1: a morning flight. This is in Washington, DC's at DCA Airport. UM,

1147
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: that was very dead. It was very good. There was

1148
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,800
Speaker 1: not most of the places that even were closed, restaurants

1149
01:13:43,880 --> 01:13:46,879
Speaker 1: or anything. They were all closed other than one. UM.

1150
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, there weren't. There weren't too many travelers day

1151
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: I flew into Charlotte. UM, that one was a lot busier,

1152
01:13:52,479 --> 01:13:55,000
Speaker 1: but that's always that's always a busier airport. But yeah,

1153
01:13:55,040 --> 01:14:00,440
Speaker 1: there wasn't wasn't too much in DC. Interesting. Okay, I'm

1154
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:04,800
Speaker 1: curious because I am not. I'm dying to go somewhere anywhere,

1155
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to travel internationally, preferably, And now

1156
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: we're hearing that all the very slippery viruses are in

1157
01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: England and all over the EU. So I'm screwed that way. Eddie.

1158
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,480
Speaker 1: You wrote a piece, an opinion piece in the Washington

1159
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Examiner that I found to be pretty interesting, and it's

1160
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: all about working from home or not working from home.

1161
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: And I think you've stepped in something here that the

1162
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: left is going to try and force people not to

1163
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 1: go into the office anymore because it's unfair. Yeah, that's

1164
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: I read an article that said there's there's a lot

1165
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: of companies that and they talk about this as if

1166
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 1: there were new there. This has been I remember when

1167
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: I was coming into the workforce, there was a whole

1168
01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:54,720
Speaker 1: push as I was in college and moving into the

1169
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: again graduating and moving into the workforce, there was a

1170
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 1: push and it was kind of in vote for big companies,

1171
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,280
Speaker 1: especially to allow a lot of flexibility for people to

1172
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 1: work from home as they could. Um, and you know

1173
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: what did that? What was the productivity like? And a

1174
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,479
Speaker 1: lot of the you know, it raised the satisfaction of

1175
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: a lot of workers. They enjoyed it. They enjoyed the flexibility, which,

1176
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 1: of course, I mean, if it's nice to have flexibility.

1177
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't know why they talk about this as if

1178
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: it were new or as if it's never been tried before. Um.

1179
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,559
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of companies I think that are

1180
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:27,679
Speaker 1: that are of saying, you know, even even post pandemic, um,

1181
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: we're just going to allow people to stay home. But

1182
01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: some people that this is a New York Times UM

1183
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: writer yesterday or this maybe it was last week, maybe

1184
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: or this week. I forget when they're all blurring together now, um,

1185
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: but this New York Times writers said, well, no, we

1186
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:45,960
Speaker 1: should actually make it to where if you're going to

1187
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:48,439
Speaker 1: have an office and did not allowed for workers to

1188
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,080
Speaker 1: even voluntarily go in every day if they wanted to,

1189
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: they should They should not be allowed to go in

1190
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,160
Speaker 1: because all that does is for the people who then

1191
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 1: decide they want to stay home for whatever reason it created,

1192
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: it creates a disadvantage for the person who wants to

1193
01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:04,120
Speaker 1: stay home, a professional disadvantage because well, the person who's

1194
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: going to the office, they look more more dedicated, more

1195
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 1: committed to the job than the people who choose to

1196
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: stay home. So that just shouldn't be allowed. Well, I'm sorry,

1197
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean this is something I've noticed l I would say,

1198
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 1: within my own my own life, is that there are

1199
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 1: many people who want to stay home. I prefer going

1200
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: into my office. But I know that in many cases

1201
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: it's going to be that when bosses, supervisors, in my

1202
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: case its editors, when they see you and they see

1203
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 1: you every day going into the office, I mean, and

1204
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: then there's people who are staying at home. You have

1205
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: the opportunity to build personal relationships but also build on

1206
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 1: your professional relationship with your supervisors, with your direct colleagues

1207
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: who are going into the office. And one it is

1208
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:48,640
Speaker 1: I do find it to just be better to have

1209
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:52,720
Speaker 1: in person physical interaction. But it also is just that

1210
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:55,920
Speaker 1: there are people who by and large are going to

1211
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,880
Speaker 1: determine what your path is professionally, whether you get it risks,

1212
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: whether you get a promotion. And it's just like cons

1213
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 1: that if you're in the office, you you have that

1214
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 1: advantage versus somebody who decides the not wants at home.

1215
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: I love the way these people, they're like the central

1216
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: Planning committee of the old Soviet Union. They decide what's

1217
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:19,839
Speaker 1: best for everyone because they understand fairness better than anyone.

1218
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: So they're gonna tell you, no, you cannot show up

1219
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: for work if you want to, we don't care. If

1220
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: you are more efficient in doing that, you must it's

1221
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,799
Speaker 1: fair foot And they don't want they don't want anyone

1222
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: outperforming them as the thing. And they want they want

1223
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: things with their way. Even if people say, well, you know,

1224
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 1: you can have it your way. You are allowed to

1225
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:40,560
Speaker 1: do what you want to do. But everyone else is

1226
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: not going to live by that word. They said no

1227
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: because that puts to mean a disadvantage and that's not fair. Well,

1228
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 1: if it's only fair, whenever you have the advantage off,

1229
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: it's only fair because it's nor way of life. That's

1230
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: the definition of fair. Yeah, you nailed it. Though you

1231
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 1: nailed it when you said they don't want people showing

1232
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: up because they'll get ahead of them. That's truly what

1233
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: this is about. It's all about maintaining their own turf

1234
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,679
Speaker 1: while they say no one else should have better turf

1235
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: than me. It's such a good piece. Eddie Scary is

1236
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: our guest here. He is with the Washington Examiner and

1237
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: writes great commentary stuff. He also had a book out,

1238
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: The Privileged Victims, How America's culture fascist hijacked the country

1239
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: and elevated its worst people. Eddie the Longest title in

1240
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 1: the history of mankind. We need to work on some

1241
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: book title editing for you. I'm just saying yes, but

1242
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: that is it is a long tile. Thank you for

1243
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 1: saying it all in one breath. But it's timely. It's

1244
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: more timely than ever. It only came out I think,

1245
01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: I think in March or April, and it still has

1246
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:50,719
Speaker 1: such a life, and it's still everything we saw happen

1247
01:18:50,800 --> 01:18:55,519
Speaker 1: over the summer with the George Floyd rioting. Everywhere we're

1248
01:18:55,560 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 1: seeing it. There's a new example every day. I'm writing

1249
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:00,160
Speaker 1: on one right now for the Washington Examiner. All go

1250
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:04,800
Speaker 1: up today. But just the social justice movement they like

1251
01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: to call it, but I call them social justice monsters,

1252
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: social justice mob um. The way they operate as scaring, intimidating,

1253
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,679
Speaker 1: harassing innocent people. You know what you're seeing. You see

1254
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:19,599
Speaker 1: the videos online with the Black Lives Matter riders walking

1255
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: up down, walking up and down the streets and getting

1256
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:24,680
Speaker 1: in the faces of people who are simply sitting outside

1257
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: eating dinner, um, demanding that they raise their fists in

1258
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,519
Speaker 1: the air. Otherwise they're going to continue screaming in their face.

1259
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: When it was the the RNC was going on the

1260
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: Republican Convention over the summer in Washington, DC. People trying

1261
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,160
Speaker 1: to senators, sitting senators, trying to walk home, otherwise just

1262
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: completely innocent, random pedestrians on the street, walking trying to

1263
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: get back to their hotels. And these black lives matter

1264
01:19:47,479 --> 01:19:51,800
Speaker 1: months there's just in their face, screaming at them, scaring them.

1265
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:54,160
Speaker 1: And they do this, by the way, while claiming to

1266
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,840
Speaker 1: have the moral high ground. They have their harassing people,

1267
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: while claiming this is all this is all in the

1268
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 1: name of justice and and where are the inherently moral ones?

1269
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 1: While while scaring people. It's really bizarre. But that's what

1270
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:08,320
Speaker 1: my book touches on. It touches on all of that.

1271
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: The social justice monsters, social justice mob more timely than ever.

1276
01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to The

1277
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka introducing you to a friend

1278
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: of mine. Jim Stovall is his name. He was going

1279
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: to be an Olympic weightlifter, but he lost his sight,

1280
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:46,639
Speaker 1: so instead of lifting weights for a living, he turned

1281
01:20:46,640 --> 01:20:50,600
Speaker 1: to motivation. He became one of the most prolific motivational

1282
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:55,680
Speaker 1: speakers and writers ever, and he invented a channel for

1283
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:59,759
Speaker 1: people who don't have vision to be able to enjoy

1284
01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: movies in television. It's called the Narrative Television Network. So

1285
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: it's got over fifty books to his credit, and he

1286
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,599
Speaker 1: writes a motivational column every week. And I hang out

1287
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 1: with him and talk to him on the radio all

1288
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:15,519
Speaker 1: the time. Jim Stove, all, welcome, my friend. I'm so

1289
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: happy you are here. Well, it is great to be

1290
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: with you. A wonderful holiday season. And when you talk

1291
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: about half work and half play, that you and me, buddy,

1292
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: I'm working and you're always playing, so it's always great.

1293
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: And before we kick off the shameless plug, is anybody

1294
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: interested in holiday movies, Christmas movies, whatever, or just family

1295
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: stuff when you're after the big feast and you're looking

1296
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 1: for something to do. All of My Ultimate Gifts series,

1297
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: the trilogy is running on Hallmark Drama Channel multiple times.

1298
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: On the twenty nine that they're going to run all

1299
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 1: three back to back to back you could get so

1300
01:21:55,479 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: sick of Jim Stovall all in one sitting right there

1301
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: on the December twenty ninth. But we're excited, and we've

1302
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: had a great relationship with them and continue to appreciate that.

1303
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: But anyway, well we're excited. This time of year they

1304
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:14,040
Speaker 1: always bring him. And why they decided these were Christmas

1305
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: movies is really beyond me. But I remember Frank Capra

1306
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 1: being bewildered why people thought It's a Wonderful Life was

1307
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 1: a Christmas show and you know, they had one scene

1308
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: or you know, we're surrounding Christmas, and it was kind

1309
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 1: of a mystery to him as well. Well, you know,

1310
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: there are people who claim that die Hard is not

1311
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie, and I challenged them to watch it

1312
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 1: and not see die Hard as one of the great

1313
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: Christmas films of all time. Diehard is appropriate for any holiday.

1314
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: There is no holiday that doesn't hit perfect perfect Jim, Well,

1315
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: what are we putting down and picking up this week

1316
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: with you? Well, I thought for the holiday season. This

1317
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,560
Speaker 1: one is called a romantic comedy and it's about a

1318
01:22:57,760 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: late great Jack Benny. And you know, for those of

1319
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 1: your audience who were in the bloom of their youth,

1320
01:23:04,320 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: I will sell Jack Benny was a great comedian radio

1321
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: television movies, and you know, the best I ever was

1322
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 1: at what he did. And he had this kind of

1323
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: stick he did as his act. He acted like he

1324
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: was really really cheap and stingy, and then he would

1325
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:24,320
Speaker 1: always come out and play the violin and he played

1326
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: it horribly well. Later in life we found out from

1327
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:32,120
Speaker 1: reading his biography that he was a great philanthropist and

1328
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:36,320
Speaker 1: gave away millions of dollars. And during the Great Depression,

1329
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:42,480
Speaker 1: when the symphonies across the country were suffering and destitute

1330
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: as they are now, he went out on tour and

1331
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: played with them. And he was actually quite accomplished as

1332
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 1: a violinist, so he was able to do that and

1333
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 1: draw a crowd and do that. But the fascinating thing,

1334
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, on radio and on TV, his wife, Mary

1335
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 1: Livingston played his girlfriend, and he was always trying to

1336
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: get her to marry him on the shows, and she

1337
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 1: never did, but she was actually his wife. And when

1338
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: he died in nineteen seventy four, that right after his funeral,

1339
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:17,719
Speaker 1: a florist came to the house and delivered her one

1340
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: perfect rose from Jack, and she thought, wow, this is

1341
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: a great thing, and she said it aside, and you know,

1342
01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 1: this was something to remember him by. And the next

1343
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 1: day she was trying to think should I have this

1344
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: preserved or dipped in gold leave, or what should I

1345
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,920
Speaker 1: do with this rose? When the doorbell rang in it

1346
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,439
Speaker 1: was another perfect rose. And for the next eleven years

1347
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 1: she lived every day a perfect rose came to her

1348
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: delivered from Jack all those years. And you know, when

1349
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,680
Speaker 1: I think about this time of year and what we

1350
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:53,719
Speaker 1: can give people and what really matters, it's the simple

1351
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 1: creative things that we bring to evil that you know,

1352
01:24:58,040 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: really say who we are and how we feel about them,

1353
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 1: And those are the things that really matter. And I

1354
01:25:04,400 --> 01:25:08,280
Speaker 1: always have that lingering memory of Jack Benny as this

1355
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:12,600
Speaker 1: comedian and whatever, but more than that, just an amazing

1356
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: soul meet and life companion he was with his wife.

1357
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: That story is just so inspiring and irritating at the

1358
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: same time, because so many of our spouses will hear

1359
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: it and look at us and say, well, what have

1360
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: you done? And I guess that's the point, is that

1361
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: we need to be thinking about those people in our

1362
01:25:35,320 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: lives who really matter to us, and what can we

1363
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: do in terms of a simple gesture that will let

1364
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 1: them know how we feel about them, and especially at

1365
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: this time of year, that seems to be it. Well,

1366
01:25:46,240 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: the great gifts are not you know, where did you

1367
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 1: give me for Christmas or Valentine's or Birthday or anniversary.

1368
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 1: The great gifts are the unexpected things that happen for

1369
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,479
Speaker 1: no reason other than I cared and I wanted you

1370
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 1: to know that. And those of the things that matter.

1371
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,640
Speaker 1: So as we come out of the holiday season and

1372
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,879
Speaker 1: you know, and look to Christmas, a new year and beyond,

1373
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, just always be in that spirit of giving,

1374
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:14,000
Speaker 1: and you know what can you do a little extra

1375
01:26:14,080 --> 01:26:17,040
Speaker 1: that will make a huge difference for somebody down the road.

1376
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate all of the lessons you gave us this year.

1377
01:26:20,520 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: I'd be hard pressed to say which one was my favorite,

1378
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,880
Speaker 1: because each one always gives me a little bit of

1379
01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 1: a Hey, you got to work on that a little

1380
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 1: bit more. And it's all about being better, you know,

1381
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:35,200
Speaker 1: you talk about job security. If it comes down to

1382
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: what does Michael Pelka need to work on, you know,

1383
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: we'll be here forever. So it's a great thing. And

1384
01:26:41,560 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: I always appreciate our weekly visit we shoe an amazing

1385
01:26:45,200 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: holiday season, and I will look forward to continuing the

1397
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:30,240
Speaker 1: say goodbye to twenty twenty. We'll look back at some

1398
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: of the insanity of the past year, and we will

1399
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: look forward to some of the hopeful stuff happening in

1400
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. We still have a shot, you know,

1401
01:27:40,840 --> 01:27:45,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump still has a shot. It's a diminishing opportunity,

1402
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 1: but he has a shot. So we will see what happens.

1403
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: January sixth, Washington, DC, Joint Session of Congress and we'll

1404
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: dive into that. You know what else I need to

1405
01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,559
Speaker 1: dive into. I need to introduce you to a friend

1406
01:27:59,560 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 1: of mine. She's a member of the media. She's a

1407
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: film critic, somebody that I talked to almost teaching every

1408
01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 1: week about the new movies, new TV shows. Her name

1409
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:12,640
Speaker 1: is Nancy Jay and I think she's been on this

1410
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:14,759
Speaker 1: show with me before. But I want to get Nancy

1411
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:19,759
Speaker 1: in here to talk about the Alec Baldwin thing, because

1412
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:21,200
Speaker 1: I have to tell you had a little bit of

1413
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: a schaden for a moment when I saw Alec Baldwin's

1414
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 1: current wife got caught culturally appropriating. She's pretended to be

1415
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: Spanish when she's not. She's an American woman born in Boston.

1416
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 1: Her name is Hillary. Well, let's get Nancy in here.

1417
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:46,280
Speaker 1: Nancy Ja, my buddy, my pal, film critic extraordinaire. You've

1418
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:51,599
Speaker 1: seen the story about Hilaria, haven't you. Indeed I have,

1419
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:55,840
Speaker 1: and I thought it was hilarious, very good, very good.

1420
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 1: One of us had to get to that before the

1421
01:28:58,479 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: other did, and I'm glad it was you. And now

1422
01:29:01,960 --> 01:29:05,360
Speaker 1: I was just looking back at some of the videotapes

1423
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: of Alec Baldwin's current wife because he's had a few

1424
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:13,080
Speaker 1: and the mother of four of his children the last

1425
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:17,880
Speaker 1: time I counted, and she had presented herself on occasion

1426
01:29:18,600 --> 01:29:24,400
Speaker 1: as being a person of Hispanic heritage and the name Hilaria,

1427
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 1: despite the fact she was born in Boston and her

1428
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: real name is Hilary, which I find hilarious, as you mentioned.

1429
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: But here's a little snippet of Hilaria on the Today

1430
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 1: Show talking about getting in shape after having their fourth baby.

1431
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: It's not easy, and I think part of it is

1432
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 1: that I'm in shape before I have a baby, and

1433
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:50,880
Speaker 1: then I stay active when I'm pregnant and I'm not

1434
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,920
Speaker 1: trying to stay thin. I'm just trying to keep my

1435
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:56,040
Speaker 1: circulation going and stretching and keep my muscle trying. And

1436
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 1: then when I have a baby, I've been so lucky

1437
01:29:57,960 --> 01:30:00,559
Speaker 1: to have pretty good labor and deliver, so then I

1438
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:02,160
Speaker 1: can kind of hit the road right out of doors.

1439
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think I exercise as much as everybody

1440
01:30:04,120 --> 01:30:06,799
Speaker 1: thinks I do. So I know a lot of women

1441
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,839
Speaker 1: are not happy with her just because her body snapped

1442
01:30:09,880 --> 01:30:14,360
Speaker 1: back instantly after she had this child. But that sounds

1443
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:18,000
Speaker 1: like a valley girl from La to me. I thought

1444
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: it was Jessica Simpson there for a moment. Well, here's

1445
01:30:21,320 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: what here's what Hilaria sounded like on another occasion. Hey guys,

1446
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 1: it's the final season of thirty Rock, which means big

1447
01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:32,920
Speaker 1: guest stars. And I guess that you're going to be

1448
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 1: home a lot more often. You're going to be home

1449
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot more often. Yeah, well she was did She

1450
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: says she was raised in Spain, Majorca. She said her

1451
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 1: family is in MYRCA. But the difference from the Today

1452
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:50,719
Speaker 1: Show and she sounds more like she's got the Ricky

1453
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: Ricardo's school of accents. Here. Only one woman could make

1454
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: this giant, extra exclusive happen. Alex Wife, this is what

1455
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 1: it looks like home. This is what it looks like

1456
01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: at home. Well, I'll tell you what. Alec Baldwin knows

1457
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 1: how to pick him him. That is his second one, Kimball. Yeah, yeah,

1458
01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I thought he had another one before that. Okay,

1459
01:31:14,120 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 1: no, no no, that's okay, because yeah, but anyway, yeah, I mean,

1460
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: what are you going to do? I mean, it's it's

1461
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:23,160
Speaker 1: interesting how we see these stars now that we're really

1462
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: watching them closely because we don't have anything else to do.

1463
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,960
Speaker 1: I guess, well, nothing's going to happen because he's got

1464
01:31:28,960 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 1: a D after his name. Okay, he's got the free pats.

1465
01:31:33,400 --> 01:31:38,600
Speaker 1: He played Donald Trump, and he's a Democrat, so he oh,

1466
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Hollywood will not exact a penalty on him. Had this

1467
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:47,480
Speaker 1: been Kelsey Grammer or someone who is an outspoken Democrat,

1468
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 1: had this been Pat say Jack if you will, and

1469
01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:53,880
Speaker 1: it turns out that Pat Say Jack's wife was faking

1470
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: the funk, they would demand he'd be tied to the

1471
01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: wheel and spun repeatedly until he asked away. I'm just saying, mmmmmmm,

1472
01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:07,960
Speaker 1: you're probably right. The crazy world out there, it is

1473
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 1: a crazy world. And speaking of crazy world, we're now

1474
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,320
Speaker 1: starting to see movies go back to theaters. There was

1475
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 1: this big release on Christmas Day of Wonder Woman nineteen

1476
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:21,360
Speaker 1: eighty four, whatever it was. I didn't go seeing. You've

1477
01:32:21,360 --> 01:32:25,479
Speaker 1: seen it already, correct, yes, yes, but I was able

1478
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 1: to stream it on HBO Max on Christmas Day as well.

1479
01:32:28,360 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 1: But here's what's interesting. Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four. They're

1480
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: calling it a robust a robust opening at least for

1481
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:39,759
Speaker 1: a pandemic sixteen point seven million dollars at about twenty

1482
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: one hundred locations, the first wonder Woman open to one

1483
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: hundred and three million dollars over the first week into

1484
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 1: June twenty seventeen. But what's interesting is nearly half of

1485
01:32:52,080 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 1: HBO Max's subscribers nearly half viewed Wonder Woman eight nineteen

1486
01:32:57,479 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 1: eighty four when it became available on Christmas Day, three

1487
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: times three times the viewing than HBO Max has had,

1488
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,400
Speaker 1: and that stills relatively new. And of course, in true

1489
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:13,080
Speaker 1: Hollywood fashion, Mike now Warners has announced a three quel.

1490
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:17,080
Speaker 1: Patty Jenkins will write and direct again Galga Dot returning,

1491
01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,400
Speaker 1: but no word on whether that will also be a

1492
01:33:19,479 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 1: simultaneous HBO Max and we don't know when or where

1493
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:26,919
Speaker 1: it's going to be opening. So here's what I found interesting.

1494
01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:32,640
Speaker 1: Where do you think which Americans, which American cities braved

1495
01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,679
Speaker 1: this Christmas Day movie in the theaters during this pandemic?

1496
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 1: Where would you say? I would think it would be

1497
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: the number one theater. I would think it'd be the coast,

1498
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:46,679
Speaker 1: like Los Angeles or New York. No, because the ten

1499
01:33:46,800 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 1: major movie going markets, so many of them remain off limits.

1500
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 1: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. No. No, No,

1501
01:33:54,240 --> 01:33:56,960
Speaker 1: the number one grossing theater for World War World War.

1502
01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:59,280
Speaker 1: Keep looking at WW eighty four is how they're making it,

1503
01:33:59,560 --> 01:34:05,080
Speaker 1: wonder them in nineteen eighty four. Salt Lake City, really

1504
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:10,000
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City in fact, like like Utah, Florida and

1505
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:13,320
Speaker 1: Texas have also been a haven for the indoor cinema

1506
01:34:13,320 --> 01:34:16,200
Speaker 1: and cinemas in recent months because they have been you know,

1507
01:34:16,240 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: they're they're down to so x amount capacity and you

1508
01:34:19,080 --> 01:34:21,599
Speaker 1: have to wear masks unless you're eating popcorn or drinking

1509
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: a soda. But it was Dallas, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Houston,

1510
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 1: and it did um. Now New Jersey, Connecticut, and upstate

1511
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:33,360
Speaker 1: New York theaters were able to see the movie and

1512
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:36,759
Speaker 1: they did pretty well. But also Orlando, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami,

1513
01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,599
Speaker 1: and Austin, Texas. So Salt Lake City, I mean, Utah

1514
01:34:39,640 --> 01:34:42,760
Speaker 1: and Texas were the big East. How about that? And

1515
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:47,280
Speaker 1: I love this. There were more than ten thousand private

1516
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:50,720
Speaker 1: watch parties across the country, according to Warner Brothers. You

1517
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 1: know that's where you can you buy out the whole

1518
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 1: theater and you let your you know, your your select

1519
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:59,040
Speaker 1: family and friends come see the movie. Ten thousand private

1520
01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 1: watch parties, So ten thousand, like two hundred and fifty

1521
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: bucks a screening. Maybe more. Maybe it's five hundred bucks

1522
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 1: and you get twenty people there. That's a pretty good deal.

1523
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:11,320
Speaker 1: I would do that. I would do that to see it,

1524
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, But no, it's it's personally. I still prefer

1525
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:21,080
Speaker 1: streaming it on HBO Max, which you know. It's just

1526
01:35:21,560 --> 01:35:24,000
Speaker 1: it really makes my life a lot easier, to tell

1527
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 1: you the truth, to be able to see all these movies.

1528
01:35:25,920 --> 01:35:27,720
Speaker 1: I can watch one on my laptop. I can do

1529
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:29,200
Speaker 1: it in bed, I can do it in the kitchen,

1530
01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:30,760
Speaker 1: I can do it all i'm meeting, you know, I

1531
01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 1: can basically watch a movie while I'm taking a walk

1532
01:35:32,880 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 1: if I wanted to do it that way. Well, I

1533
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 1: like the giant screen experience, the thundering sound of the

1534
01:35:41,600 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 1: bass that shakes the theater beneath me. I love the

1535
01:35:45,560 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 1: experience of sound and light and the darkness around me.

1536
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:51,680
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm just going to have to buy

1537
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:55,519
Speaker 1: a bigger TV. You know. I don't miss that. I

1538
01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:57,360
Speaker 1: don't miss that at all. I can understand, Oh, it

1539
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,479
Speaker 1: would look good, but I always thought the movies had

1540
01:35:59,479 --> 01:36:02,439
Speaker 1: gotten weight too loud, much too loud, And I don't

1541
01:36:02,479 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 1: want my seat, my seat to shake. Um. Here's one

1542
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,920
Speaker 1: I have you watched George Clooney on Netflix just opened

1543
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 1: The Midnight Sky. I had a director star I have not. Okay,

1544
01:36:13,360 --> 01:36:17,240
Speaker 1: well I've I've got a sneaking suspicion. You talked to

1545
01:36:17,320 --> 01:36:21,760
Speaker 1: George Clooney, I did. I can't resist George Clooney. He

1546
01:36:21,840 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 1: is by far the best interview He is always giving,

1547
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,800
Speaker 1: He'll answer your questions. He has the record for the

1548
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 1: most junk at interviews where you know where they fly

1549
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:32,519
Speaker 1: the press and I think one one movie he did

1550
01:36:32,560 --> 01:36:35,760
Speaker 1: like ninety in an eight hour day, which means like

1551
01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:37,760
Speaker 1: every five minute someone was going in and coming out,

1552
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:40,320
Speaker 1: someone going in and coming out. And he never loses

1553
01:36:40,360 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 1: his cool or acts like he's tired. So that, yes,

1554
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean. And unfortunately though I talked to gorgeous George

1555
01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,599
Speaker 1: still look he's actually he's aging really well. At fifty six.

1556
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:54,639
Speaker 1: George had not heard about we hadn't heard about Tom

1557
01:36:54,720 --> 01:36:59,000
Speaker 1: Cruise's mess, you know, on the Mission Impossible set. Oh yeah,

1558
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:01,080
Speaker 1: so I wasn't able. I wasn't able to ask him

1559
01:37:01,120 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 1: about that, but he later he later came out and said,

1560
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: you know, I agree with what I agree with the sentiment,

1561
01:37:06,600 --> 01:37:09,200
Speaker 1: but not the way Tom Cruise said it. So, I

1562
01:37:09,240 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 1: mean even George, you know, he wasn't real happy with

1563
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:16,479
Speaker 1: Tom's use of the really bad language to his crew.

1564
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 1: In the closing seconds here, Nancy, you talked to George,

1565
01:37:21,080 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 1: but would you recommend the movie? I felt like I've

1566
01:37:26,080 --> 01:37:28,599
Speaker 1: seen it before. It's about the end of the world

1567
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:31,600
Speaker 1: and the last scientist in the Arctic, and there's a

1568
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,560
Speaker 1: bit of a mysterious global catastrophe, and so George is

1569
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:36,840
Speaker 1: going to try to stop the astronauts from returning home

1570
01:37:36,880 --> 01:37:39,800
Speaker 1: to it. So it's it's it's you know what if

1571
01:37:39,800 --> 01:37:41,920
Speaker 1: you don't have anything else to watch, but you know,

1572
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:46,000
Speaker 1: it's like less than two hours. But one thing I

1573
01:37:46,040 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 1: do want to say, because I've been dying to say this,

1574
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:50,240
Speaker 1: and it's apropos of nothing. But it's why I brought

1575
01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:53,559
Speaker 1: up Tom Cruise, you know, he was his rants were

1576
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: on the set of Mission Impossible. You know what we're

1577
01:37:56,160 --> 01:37:59,880
Speaker 1: calling it now, Yeah, bitch and impossible. I love that,

1578
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 1: And on that, thank you, Nancy Jay brilliant Bitch and Impossible,

1579
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:10,000
Speaker 1: the Newtim Cruise film. Well done, my friend, Well done,

1580
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:14,120
Speaker 1: and here's to a wonderful, much needed new year. My

1581
01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:17,800
Speaker 1: dear friend, Mike, Thank you, Nancy. We'll talk again soon

1582
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: about the movies and I need to take a break.

1583
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 1: But when we get back, you know what we haven't done.

1584
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:28,200
Speaker 1: We haven't played the Trump Train today, and we may

1585
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:31,639
Speaker 1: not have too many more opportunities to do so, so

1586
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 1: let's line up the Trump Train and we'll wrap up

1587
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:38,960
Speaker 1: with any final thoughts for the evening. Michael Pelca in

01:38:51,880 --> 01:38:54,719
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca sitting

1592
01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 1: in for Buck today Tomorrow Wednesday. We'll basically wrap up

1593
01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:02,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty here with you, and we'll go over some

1594
01:39:02,040 --> 01:39:04,600
Speaker 1: of the craziest stuff we saw this year, some of

1595
01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:07,840
Speaker 1: the dumbest things we saw this year, and maybe some

1596
01:39:07,880 --> 01:39:12,120
Speaker 1: hopeful indicators for twenty twenty one. I mentioned that we

1597
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:15,160
Speaker 1: may not have that many opportunities to play the Trump

1598
01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:20,000
Speaker 1: Train again. The parody song we created before Trump was elected,

1599
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:23,240
Speaker 1: and we've kept it alive, so let's give it another spin.

1600
01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Climb on board train. Rumin cha it

1601
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:53,160
Speaker 1: really is a disgrace. It's called the COVID Relief Bill,

1602
01:39:54,120 --> 01:39:57,799
Speaker 1: but it has almost nothing to do with nine hundred

1603
01:39:57,920 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 1: billion dollar package provides hard working taxpayers with only six

1604
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:06,360
Speaker 1: hundred dollars each in relief famis and not enough money

1605
01:40:06,479 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 1: is given to small business. I am asking Congress to

1606
01:40:09,760 --> 01:40:14,320
Speaker 1: amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low six hundred

1607
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 1: dollars to two thousand dollars or four thousand dollars for

1608
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:39,599
Speaker 1: a couple. Sh sh man, I'm gonna miss that song.

1609
01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:42,600
Speaker 1: If we have to retire it, we will. But I

1610
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 1: tell all of my Democrat friends who are gloating about

1611
01:40:47,160 --> 01:40:51,679
Speaker 1: what appears to be a Biden victory, I said, would

1612
01:40:51,720 --> 01:40:54,760
Speaker 1: you rather have Donald Trump for four more years or

1613
01:40:54,800 --> 01:40:59,080
Speaker 1: eight more years? And their eyes cross and glaze over,

1614
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 1: and they say, well, well, well, what do you mean

1615
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: eight more years? I said, well, if Joe Biden ends

1616
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 1: up being the president, Donald Trump isn't going away. In fact,

1617
01:41:11,320 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: he'll probably be a louder voice than he is right now,

1618
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:19,839
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to deal with that for four years,

1619
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: and then he'll be back and probably be reelected as

1620
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:27,719
Speaker 1: long as you guys haven't screwed up the voting system

1621
01:41:27,880 --> 01:41:30,559
Speaker 1: the way you did this year. And yes, I do

1622
01:41:30,680 --> 01:41:35,800
Speaker 1: believe this election is fraudulent if they don't straighten it out.

1623
01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:38,720
Speaker 1: So just my opinion, you can have Donald Trump for

1624
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,439
Speaker 1: four more years or you can have him for eight

1625
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:46,000
Speaker 1: more years. The choice is yours Democrats. And you know what,

1626
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,519
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's just not going to be as much fun

1627
01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:51,160
Speaker 1: as Donald Trump. Aside from the fact that we're gonna

1628
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,799
Speaker 1: have to fight off the socialism, he just doesn't deliver

1629
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:59,759
Speaker 1: the sound bites unless they're embarrassing, like when he answered

1630
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:05,760
Speaker 1: Peter Doocey the other day, man a horse pony, you're

1631
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:08,680
Speaker 1: a one horse pony. We all know he meant one

1632
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 1: trick pony. But the wires don't seem to connect upstairs

1633
01:42:12,360 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 1: in Joe's head. And now he's starting to tell the

1634
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: quiet part out loud. Joe is starting to tell his

1635
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 1: supporter is that he's not going to be able to

1636
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:25,920
Speaker 1: live up to his campaign promises like the one on immigration.

1637
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,040
Speaker 1: The last thing we need is to say we're going

1638
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:35,400
Speaker 1: to stop immediately, you know, the access to asylum the

1639
01:42:35,400 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 1: way he's been run now and end up with two

1640
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 1: million people on our border. It will get done. And

1641
01:42:41,240 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 1: it will get done quickly, but it's not going to

1642
01:42:43,600 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 1: be able to be done on day one. Yeah, it'll

1643
01:42:46,320 --> 01:42:49,000
Speaker 1: get done quickly, says the guy who was in Washington

1644
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:54,680
Speaker 1: for forty seven years and really didn't get anything done anything.

1645
01:42:55,439 --> 01:42:58,960
Speaker 1: And Biden's also said the quiet part out loud when

1646
01:42:58,960 --> 01:43:01,720
Speaker 1: he told people he wasn't going to be able to

1647
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:06,320
Speaker 1: waive his executive Order Penn and just wipe away fifty

1648
01:43:06,360 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in student loans per student. He said he

1649
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:14,160
Speaker 1: can't do that. That's going to be a problem. Two

1650
01:43:14,200 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 1: of the biggest campaign promises made by Joe Biden and

1651
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:25,160
Speaker 1: the Democrats dealt with student loans being forgiven and immigration.

1652
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:30,160
Speaker 1: And he's not even sworn in and he's already walking

1653
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:34,400
Speaker 1: away from those, backing away from those. It's going to

1654
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see just how these people are

1655
01:43:38,280 --> 01:43:41,679
Speaker 1: going to be able to govern if they can't live

1656
01:43:41,760 --> 01:43:45,320
Speaker 1: up to their campaign promises. And what he think's going

1657
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,559
Speaker 1: to happen in twenty twenty two, it's going to be

1658
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,280
Speaker 1: a Bloodbeth for Democrats. We'll get into all that this week.

1659
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton, Thank you for being here. Tonight,
