Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no Mistake America, Bring You're a great American Again.
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins analysts, He's a great guyon
Speaker 1: no Welcome to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka sitting
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck Sexton. We are going to
Speaker 1: try and get to everything today. Yes, there's news about
Speaker 1: the bill, about the stimulus, about the relief, about all
Speaker 1: of it. But I am focused on a couple of
Speaker 1: very special issues like the vaccine and the virus. And
Speaker 1: I'm focused on next week and the electoral certification, and
Speaker 1: I'm focused on China and what the heck is going
Speaker 1: on with China, because China senses weakness, at least I
Speaker 1: think they do. So I've reached out to our buddy,
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, my go to on all things China, to
Speaker 1: find out what the heck we should be paying attention
Speaker 1: to and what if anything, Donald Trump can do or
Speaker 1: should do in the remaining four weeks before January twentieth.
Speaker 1: So he is here with us and we appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, my friend. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show,
Speaker 1: and I hope you had to marry Christmas. Oh well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Mike, and merry Christmas and everything
Speaker 1: to you and your listeners. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now,
Speaker 1: if you guys are not following Gordon Chang on Twitter,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's wrong with you. It's Gordon G.
Speaker 1: Chang on Twitter. Gordon G. Chang. It is just one
Speaker 1: of the best feeds in terms of volume and importance,
Speaker 1: in terms of impact and information, especially as it relates
Speaker 1: to things going on in China and the entire Asian peninsula. Gordon.
Speaker 1: I am hyper focused on China because I'm nervous about
Speaker 1: what could happen with a coming Biden administration, and so
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if we have four weeks left or four
Speaker 1: years left, if there's a miracle for Trump. Do you
Speaker 1: have a list of priorities you would like to see
Speaker 1: addressed with US and China? Oh, I mean, it's just everything.
Speaker 1: The most important thing, Mike is at the United States
Speaker 1: cut contacts with China, trade, investment, diplomatic contacts, technology sharing,
Speaker 1: cultural exchanges. And the reason is that Beijing exploits all
Speaker 1: of those to overthrow our society, and so we have
Speaker 1: not been able to manage that, so we have no
Speaker 1: choice if we want to remain sovereign and free to
Speaker 1: basically get China's regime out of our country. That's going
Speaker 1: to be difficult. I understand a lot of people won't
Speaker 1: agree to that, but we have not been able to
Speaker 1: manage the China relationship on any satisfactory basis, So there's
Speaker 1: no alternative. So you're an advocate of a pretty extreme answer,
Speaker 1: and that is just cut the chord completely with China, trade, manufacturing, everything,
Speaker 1: and that would be a gigantic, multi billion dollars deal.
Speaker 1: It would mean a lot of businesses, a lot of
Speaker 1: high profile businesses like sports like the NBA. How likely
Speaker 1: is that to happen? Gordon? Well, right now it's not.
Speaker 1: But if China were to do something tragic, then yes,
Speaker 1: it would happen almost immediately. You know, we have seen
Speaker 1: China's dangerous intercepts of the US Navy and Air Force
Speaker 1: in the global comments, and we've been very fortunate that
Speaker 1: we haven't lost anybody. But we know that China is
Speaker 1: continuing to provoke US, and we have seen these attempts,
Speaker 1: for instance, to injure our diplomats with OO sonic attacks
Speaker 1: that happened in twenty eighteen in Guangzo, southern China. But
Speaker 1: also remember, China deliberately took steps to spread the coronavirus
Speaker 1: beyond its borders, which means that we have what three
Speaker 1: hundred thirty thousand Americans have died from a disease that
Speaker 1: China maliciously made sure came to America. And you're a
Speaker 1: believer that China has already got a vaccine for the
Speaker 1: coronavirus that they have developed and are giving to their
Speaker 1: own people. Well, China is administering a vaccine, but the
Speaker 1: vaccine has not completed phase three trials, and there are
Speaker 1: some indications that it might not be as effective as
Speaker 1: Beijing says. Chinese propaganda says that there are absolutely no
Speaker 1: instances of side effects, but that's really difficult to believe.
Speaker 1: And this really shows you know, Biden, for instance, has
Speaker 1: said recently that the United States has no leverage over China,
Speaker 1: or insufficient leverage. But let's just take a look at
Speaker 1: this question of a vaccine. China had a head start
Speaker 1: on developing a vaccine and it is nowhere near the
Speaker 1: United State. We've got two very sophisticated vaccines Fiser in Maderna.
Speaker 1: China is way behind us on this. Well, I'm with
Speaker 1: you on that. I think our example is easy to see.
Speaker 1: I'm just curious about China and what their next move is.
Speaker 1: I know Xi Xing Ping has been saying that their
Speaker 1: ultimate goal is to be the dominant economy in the world,
Speaker 1: and it seems like they would need the West and
Speaker 1: the West to be complicit for that to happen. Why
Speaker 1: don't we get some sort of coalition going together, Gordon?
Speaker 1: Why hasn't the United States said to other nations, the
Speaker 1: friendly nations that we do serious business with, Hey, we
Speaker 1: all need to cut the chord with China. Well, I
Speaker 1: think it's because there's Wall Street and very powerful interests
Speaker 1: in the United States that maintain that we should cooperate
Speaker 1: with China, and so that has worked, i think, to
Speaker 1: maintain relations. But we have seen, actually the Trump administration
Speaker 1: makes some significant advances in developing cooperative relationships with allies,
Speaker 1: partners and friends. So, for instance, there's the Quad, which
Speaker 1: is the United States along with Japan, Australia, and India.
Speaker 1: Because we all feel threatened by China. We're starting to
Speaker 1: operationalize that grouping and we're working very closely, so we
Speaker 1: are moving forward on that. Also, in the Middle East,
Speaker 1: effectively you've got well you have the Abraham Accords, and
Speaker 1: that's effectively a coalition against Iran and by implication, against
Speaker 1: China as well. So the Trump administration has done a
Speaker 1: lot in this regard, but obviously we need to do
Speaker 1: a lot more. Yeah, and we only have four weeks
Speaker 1: left on the short end of the Trump administration unless
Speaker 1: some sort of miracle happens on January sixth, which is
Speaker 1: a very very slim possibility. So in four weeks, what
Speaker 1: would you tell Donald Trump to really focus on. I
Speaker 1: think he should focus on Huawei Technologies, which is the
Speaker 1: Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer. They've done a lot in the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks on making sure that US chip
Speaker 1: technology does not get to China. We should be doing
Speaker 1: even more. We should be making more vigorous efforts to
Speaker 1: get Chinese apps out of our society, like TikTok for instance,
Speaker 1: which I think Beijing is used to inflame violent protests
Speaker 1: in the US. But in any event, China doesn't allow
Speaker 1: our apps in China, so why do we allow Chinese
Speaker 1: apps in our society? This seems to me to be
Speaker 1: fundamentally wrong on so many different levels. And I think
Speaker 1: that President Trump should acknowledge that the Phase one trade deal,
Speaker 1: which was signed on January fifteenth, was a mistake. China
Speaker 1: has not been living up to its commitments to buy
Speaker 1: US goods and services. So I think that President Trump
Speaker 1: should just cancel the deal and further impose more tariffs
Speaker 1: Undersection three or one of the Trade Act of nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy four. There are so many other things that Trump
Speaker 1: can do in those four weeks. Four weeks, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of time, especially because the administration has been thinking
Speaker 1: about these things for months and months and months, So
Speaker 1: they can do this if they want to. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: I hope they would want to because time. Time is
Speaker 1: moving pretty darn quickly, Gordon, and we're not seeing any
Speaker 1: real bending from China. China seems to be very patient,
Speaker 1: and that always seems to be what we've been told.
Speaker 1: They're willing to wait us out because we look for
Speaker 1: instant gratification in the West, but China is very comfortable
Speaker 1: with a slow, patient turn. So how do you deal
Speaker 1: with someone who's patient. Well, there's a number of ways
Speaker 1: to deal with China, because it is extraordinarily dependent on
Speaker 1: the US, and so we need to take advantage of
Speaker 1: that leverage. You know, there's one other thing. Just a
Speaker 1: few hours ago, China sentenced a citizen journalist for four
Speaker 1: years in prison, John John, which shows that China fews
Speaker 1: fears that the truth about the coronavirus epidemic is a
Speaker 1: mortal threat to communist rule. Well, we should be taking
Speaker 1: advantage of that. We should be talking about this in
Speaker 1: a much more vigorous way. We should be demanding independent
Speaker 1: investigations of the source of the coronavirus. Some of the
Speaker 1: steam is going out of that effort. So these are
Speaker 1: things that the Trump administration can do to make a
Speaker 1: fundamental difference in a very short period of time, I hope.
Speaker 1: So we're talking with Gordon Chang. Follow him on Twitter,
Speaker 1: Gordon g Chang, Gordon, I have one last question that's
Speaker 1: been bugging me. A couple of weeks ago, there was
Speaker 1: a breaking news report overnight that there were something like
Speaker 1: one point seven million Chinese spies deployed in various locations
Speaker 1: in the West, in companies and in governments. And this
Speaker 1: was on the heels of the Eric Swalwell's story about
Speaker 1: the honeypot that he had an alleged relationship with. We've
Speaker 1: heard nothing about that list of one point seven million
Speaker 1: Chinese spies. Did that thing just get shredded? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that was interesting because that was a list of Communist
Speaker 1: Party members one point nine five million, which was and
Speaker 1: what we learned was that we have Communist Party members
Speaker 1: not only in companies, which we knew because Beijing insists
Speaker 1: on Communist Party seals in large foreign businesses, but also
Speaker 1: in ten consulates in Shanghai, including hours, including Britain's, including Australia's,
Speaker 1: including New Zealand's. That's four of the Five Eyes. The
Speaker 1: five Eyes is the Intelligence Sharing Consortium. So yeah, this
Speaker 1: was quite stunning, and as you say, it came right
Speaker 1: on the heels of the Eric Swalwell revelations, which that
Speaker 1: has yet to be resolved because Swalwell has yet to
Speaker 1: say in public whether he had a personal relationship with
Speaker 1: a suspected Ministry of State Security agent, Christine fog So
Speaker 1: there's a lot more that needs to be done on this.
Speaker 1: This is slow, patient work and it has to be
Speaker 1: you know, the Trump administration is working on it. It
Speaker 1: has to be continued by the Biden team, which I'm
Speaker 1: sure they will because this is so fundamental. I hope
Speaker 1: so from your lips to the next administrations ears, whether
Speaker 1: it's Secretary of State or the intelligence community, I hope
Speaker 1: they all keep pushing on this, and we'll keep pushing
Speaker 1: as well. Gordon Chang is his name. He is might
Speaker 1: go to source on everything it relates to China and
Speaker 1: the Asian Peninsula. He's just a good guy. Follow him
Speaker 1: at Gordon g. Chang on Twitter. Thank you my friend. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, Mike, and have a happy and
Speaker 1: healthy New Year. Thank you Gordon. And there he goes,
Speaker 1: and here I go. Michael Pelka sitting in for my
Speaker 1: friend Buck Sexton on The Buck Sexton Show. You're in
Speaker 1: the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka sitting
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck Sexton. Appreciate the opportunity to
Speaker 1: be here. You can follow what I'm up to on
Speaker 1: social media at stunt Brain is my Twitter handle, or
Speaker 1: just look up Michael Pelka. It'll turn up there and
Speaker 1: we can exchange thoughts on many topics. I am not
Speaker 1: saying the name of the bomber from Nashville. The Christmas day, Bomber.
Speaker 1: I will not give any kind of publicity to people
Speaker 1: like that. So, while I am very pleased that the
Speaker 1: men and women of Lawnment were able to put this
Speaker 1: exploded puzzle together in under forty eight hours, figure out
Speaker 1: who this guy was, where he lived, etc. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to say this guy's name. I will salute the
Speaker 1: men and win a law enforcement, especially those who were
Speaker 1: working on Christmas Day, because you know, if you're working
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day, guess what you're low man on the
Speaker 1: totem poll. You are the person who newest to the staff.
Speaker 1: Let's just say so, those cops who were there, the
Speaker 1: men and women who were on the scene in Nashville
Speaker 1: and bravely, bravely dealt with that situation, they deserve all
Speaker 1: the thanks we can possibly give them, so brilliant Good
Speaker 1: for you, Bomber. While I'm kind of glad we saved
Speaker 1: the money, you know, we won't have to have a trial,
Speaker 1: we won't have to incarcerate this person, we won't have
Speaker 1: to pay for them. And God knows that this person
Speaker 1: could have easily said, well, I suddenly feel like I'm
Speaker 1: not a man, I'm a woman. I would like gender
Speaker 1: reassignment surgery, and some judge would allow it to happen.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that didn't have to happen. And to
Speaker 1: the jack Wagon, the copycat idiot in the box truck
Speaker 1: who was driving around Nashville twenty four hours later playing
Speaker 1: the same kind of message, Yeah, I'm glad you're going
Speaker 1: to have a hard time too. I'm really happy about that.
Speaker 1: These are the kind of people who deserve extra time
Speaker 1: in prison, copycat idiots who think it's funny to drive
Speaker 1: a box truck playing the same kind of message on
Speaker 1: the streets and causing shutdowns of highways, etc. While the
Speaker 1: entire town is on edge. So to that idiot, enjoy
Speaker 1: your time behind bars. Now someone's going to say, no,
Speaker 1: we can't lock them up. Yes you can, and you should.
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping there are no other foolish people out there.
Speaker 1: I did like the fact that the mainstream media actually
Speaker 1: kept its powder dry, and yes, I'm using specifically that
Speaker 1: Analogy kept its powder dry the hours after this explosion
Speaker 1: happened and didn't start placing blame. Maybe we all learned
Speaker 1: our lesson from Richard Jewell, but they weren't looking to
Speaker 1: put this on a Trump supporter. They weren't leaping to conclusions.
Speaker 1: It was all very good. So good job, mainstream media.
Speaker 1: Maybe you got one right. We have a lot of
Speaker 1: other things to cover from the mainstream media tonight, a
Speaker 1: lot of stories to get to, not just the Nashville story,
Speaker 1: but we will have to get to the vaccine and
Speaker 1: the virus. And I'm going to track down my buddy
Speaker 1: from the Cleveland Clinic, doctor Michael Royson, will talk to
Speaker 1: him about what he sees in the world of health.
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of people are questioning
Speaker 1: the vaccine, and there are a lot of people who
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, I just want to wait until a
Speaker 1: couple hundred million people have taken it. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you're going to have that option. I really don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll also get a hold of Eddie Scary from the
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner. Eddie's a friend of mine. I worked with
Speaker 1: Eddie at the Blaze Full Disclosure and Eddie Wright's opinion columns.
Speaker 1: And it's a pretty good one out that relates to
Speaker 1: whether or not we'll ever go back to working in
Speaker 1: an office. There are some people who say we shouldn't.
Speaker 1: And even if your company allows you to go back
Speaker 1: to work in an office that if people show up
Speaker 1: every day, they have an unfair advantage. I love these
Speaker 1: people who think, well, they're the office Karen's, aren't they.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that and some of the other
Speaker 1: unfolding stories. Plus I'm obset asked with January sixth, what
Speaker 1: is going to happen in the joint session of Congress
Speaker 1: on January sixth? So I'll tell you what. Why don't
Speaker 1: Why don't we get Fred Lucas from the Daily Signal
Speaker 1: on the phone when we get back, we will break
Speaker 1: down what is going to happen? What might happen in Washington, DC?
Speaker 1: Could Donald Trump pull off the ultimate Hail Mary play?
Speaker 1: Can the contesting of the electors actually make headway? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's already built into the constitution for
Speaker 1: people to protest it, and we'll get Fred Lucas to
Speaker 1: break it down for us. That's just around the corner
Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show with me Michael Pelkins sitting
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck Sexton. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: The bus Eston Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Michael
Speaker 1: Helca sitting it for Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Glad to be here, And as I mentioned, January sixth
Speaker 1: is going to be an interesting day. It's the day
Speaker 1: that the Electoral College votes are certified in the Joint
Speaker 1: Session of Congress, and something weird, amazing, crazy could happen.
Speaker 1: And so in order to understand what weird, crazy and
Speaker 1: amazing things could happen, I brought in a guy who
Speaker 1: I think understands it all. Fred Lucas from the Daily Signal,
Speaker 1: the chief national correspondent. This guy's an expert on crazy
Speaker 1: stuff happening in elections. His book Taken by suspicion As
Speaker 1: details all of the madness from the past. Fred, I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're here to help us out. Welcome back, my friend. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. I'm glad you're here because
Speaker 1: everything in my world is pointing for me to get
Speaker 1: my tale to Washington, d C. On January sixth because
Speaker 1: of all of the the anticipation of what's going to
Speaker 1: happen around the certification of the Electoral College count. Um, am,
Speaker 1: I right to be there. Do you think is there
Speaker 1: really going to be some fireworks possibly happening? Well? Well,
Speaker 1: there will be fireworks. UM. Historically this has been a
Speaker 1: sort of a very procedural situation in which the Congress
Speaker 1: simply certifies what the Electoral College already did UM, going
Speaker 1: back to basically an eighteen eighties a law that establishes
Speaker 1: how to do this. However, there have been it's very typical.
Speaker 1: What is very difficult about this year is that, UM,
Speaker 1: there have always every time, I should say every time
Speaker 1: a Republican wins, practically democratic lawmakers and make objections during
Speaker 1: the during the proceedings, and during these certification of the
Speaker 1: electoral college vote usually goes nowhere. However, they usually need
Speaker 1: a Senate sponsor or. They didn't get a Senate sponsor. Notably,
Speaker 1: last time there were a number of members that made
Speaker 1: believe eleven members who made objections to certifying Trump's electoral
Speaker 1: college win. In two thousand and there were I think
Speaker 1: something like twenty objections from House Democrats, and in those
Speaker 1: cases none had a Senate sponsor. So UM. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, actually or January two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: there were objections to Bush's victory in Ohio, which is
Speaker 1: what led to defeating John Kerry. That year, there was
Speaker 1: Barbara Boxer. She was kind of not the brightest bulb
Speaker 1: in the Senate, but but she did step forward to
Speaker 1: um to make a sponsor of that objection, and they
Speaker 1: forced a vote on that debate and a vote on
Speaker 1: that that was just simply one state. So it is
Speaker 1: going to it's while it's it's not unprecedented by any means.
Speaker 1: This has happened before, this type of thing. This year,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a lot different than previous years.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see at least one Senator
Speaker 1: join in sponsoring an objection from probably several House members. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I think you're going to see maybe I am
Speaker 1: two hours debate on each of the six states in
Speaker 1: question here. So we've got a joint session the House
Speaker 1: and the Senator gathered. The Vice President at the time,
Speaker 1: Mike Pencil, will be there, and what they normally would
Speaker 1: do was a ceremonial certification of the Electoral College vote. However,
Speaker 1: in instances in the past, as you mentioned, we have
Speaker 1: seen people stand up and say I object, I protest,
Speaker 1: and if it's a House member who protests, they need
Speaker 1: a member of the Senate to kind of co sign
Speaker 1: their their stuff, right right, right, right, yeah, Yeah, has
Speaker 1: one member from each House, at least one member from
Speaker 1: each hour co sponsor in this and then then if
Speaker 1: that's the case, at that point, it would go to
Speaker 1: both the joint session adjourns. The House goes in the session,
Speaker 1: the Senate goes in the session to debate that objection.
Speaker 1: And is that debate a minimum of two hours or
Speaker 1: a maximum of two hours? Oh, it's it's a maximum
Speaker 1: of two hours. Okay, so they could which is odd
Speaker 1: in Washington. I wish we could do more of that
Speaker 1: in Washington. Yeah, that's a great point, Fred Lucas, that
Speaker 1: is an excellent point. So as somebody stands up, they're
Speaker 1: they're trying to certify the electors from one state, and
Speaker 1: a member of the House stands up and says I
Speaker 1: object to this, and then a senator stands up and
Speaker 1: says I'll second that, and they break and they go
Speaker 1: to their various chambers they were cospective chambers, and they
Speaker 1: have then up to two hours to debate this, right right, yeah,
Speaker 1: and it'll be um, it'll be open debate. So c
Speaker 1: SPAN will probably be an interesting network that day. Um
Speaker 1: yea that they will be uh yeah, they'll be debating, uh,
Speaker 1: I believe that they will be debating each state separately,
Speaker 1: so this can go on for a long time, UM
Speaker 1: debate if they this to the twelve states, so this
Speaker 1: could go past the actual day, This might bleed over
Speaker 1: into the seventh Yeah, yeah, quite likely, am I or
Speaker 1: end of the wee hours? Yes, yeah, maybe midnight that
Speaker 1: they'll make a decision. Now in your article, I noticed
Speaker 1: I know Mo Brooks, Senator Mo Brooks or Congressman Mo
Speaker 1: Books has has been one of the people who stepped forward.
Speaker 1: Are there a number of senators who've actually said I'll
Speaker 1: raise my hand and support any of these objects? Well? Uh,
Speaker 1: Tommy Tuberville, the senator elect from Alabama, which is also
Speaker 1: where whole Books is from, has recently like gave the
Speaker 1: strongest indication that he's going to do it. That would
Speaker 1: probably be one of his first acts as a senator.
Speaker 1: M rand Paul out of Kentucky. UM. I'll get to
Speaker 1: why that's interesting in a minute, but rand Paul says
Speaker 1: he he's open to h sponsoring a challenge. Also, Ron
Speaker 1: Johnson out of Wisconsin UH is also open to sponsoring
Speaker 1: a challenge. Rand Paul is interesting because being from Kentucky,
Speaker 1: that's the same state as Cinemajority leader Mitch McConnell. Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell is doing all he can to avoid this. He
Speaker 1: doesn't want any of his members sponsoring uh this. He
Speaker 1: would rather this, you know. He he's an old school guy.
Speaker 1: He would rather listen to just kind of formula league
Speaker 1: go on through um um. So, well, we'll see how
Speaker 1: that works. I mean, we've seen Rand Paul and Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell split on some things in the past. There they're
Speaker 1: pretty different types of Republicans, those two. But I yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that that's going to be a maybe a
Speaker 1: problem between the leader and some of his troops on that. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we've got these states, possibly six states, seven states,
Speaker 1: I don't know how many states who could have a challenge.
Speaker 1: If any challenge is then debated and supported, what happens
Speaker 1: when they come back from the debate. Do they vote
Speaker 1: on whether or not to accept the challenge? And does
Speaker 1: that then negate those electors? Well, yeah, the most that
Speaker 1: could happen here is that a being of course unlikely,
Speaker 1: But the most that could happen would be that the
Speaker 1: Senate and the House, the poland controlled Senate, the democratically
Speaker 1: controlled House, would determine that certain state or states the
Speaker 1: third electoral votes don't count. What would happen then is
Speaker 1: that it would go to the House of Representatives to
Speaker 1: decide who the president is, because that would that would
Speaker 1: mean neither Biden nor Trump had a majority of Electoral
Speaker 1: College votes of two seventy So that would go to
Speaker 1: the House of Representatives to decide the president. The Senate
Speaker 1: would decide the vice president. This could be crazy, but
Speaker 1: this is so far on the outside. This is the law.
Speaker 1: That's that's that this is if if it really goes
Speaker 1: up far, the most likely scenario I think is that
Speaker 1: you will have probably several House members make a challenge
Speaker 1: to this. I'm talking about probably in the um as
Speaker 1: many as well. One hundred and twenty six House Republicans
Speaker 1: signed them to the Texas lawsuits. So you can have
Speaker 1: challenges or objections at least co sponsored by as many
Speaker 1: years one hundred or more House members with their name
Speaker 1: on it to these various states, probably all six contested
Speaker 1: states that are being litigated and so forth, and then
Speaker 1: probably at least one Senator and you'll have debate. But
Speaker 1: after those debates, I think the Joint Session will reconvene
Speaker 1: and then it will go to Biden, it appears, But
Speaker 1: I'm just putting out the scenarios of what could happen.
Speaker 1: And you know, twenty has been a highly unpredictable year
Speaker 1: or so, yes it has. Well, fred the law of
Speaker 1: averages says anything will happen that can even though it
Speaker 1: is a rare occasion and a rare occurrence. You know,
Speaker 1: if Biden could lose a couple of states, that they
Speaker 1: might debate other states and say, you know those are okay?
Speaker 1: Or do they have to debate them in a package
Speaker 1: all of the states that are in question. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's my understanding that they would they well, they could
Speaker 1: probably opt to do either. I think that could probably
Speaker 1: we could in the probably seeing there another procedural vote,
Speaker 1: maybe in the joint session as to whether they'll vote
Speaker 1: on them as a joint package or whether they'll vote
Speaker 1: on them independently. I would think Trump would have a
Speaker 1: better shot if they voted on them independently, because Trump
Speaker 1: he could flip. He doesn't have to flip all six states.
Speaker 1: He could flip Pennsylvania and one or two other states
Speaker 1: and then he could win. Huh so um. And yet
Speaker 1: the Senate, which will pick the vice president, and the House,
Speaker 1: which will pick the president. But what if the House, Well,
Speaker 1: we know how the House could vote because it's controlled Republicans,
Speaker 1: be careful about how the House would vote. The Democrats
Speaker 1: have a majority in the House. But remember, if it
Speaker 1: were to go to the House is decided by state.
Speaker 1: Each state delegation in the House gets one vote, so
Speaker 1: Republicans control the majority of House state delegations. Okay, who
Speaker 1: votes first? Fred? If this, if this happens, who votes first?
Speaker 1: I think they probably If this happens, the House will
Speaker 1: probably vote first, and they'd probably just go down by
Speaker 1: like a um alphabetical list Alabama, Arizona. No, but I mean,
Speaker 1: does the House vote before the Senate? I believe so. Ok,
Speaker 1: the House will vote before the Senate. So then, so
Speaker 1: let's say the House decides. Okay, nobody's got enough electoral votes,
Speaker 1: but we want to vote for Biden, and they end
Speaker 1: up making Biden the president and they make Trump the
Speaker 1: vice president, and in the Senate they could do that.
Speaker 1: I would think they would probably go with a or
Speaker 1: they couldn't make that's the vice president. Who who have
Speaker 1: a problem for Biden. I'm just saying there, they're they're
Speaker 1: all kinds of I know. I'm married to a soap
Speaker 1: opera writer, so I see these kinds of crazy scenarios.
Speaker 1: You know, this is I mean, yeah, this would be yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean life is imitating House of Cards now, it is? It?
Speaker 1: Sure is. Well. I hope we don't have flying dragons,
Speaker 1: although that could happen this year, certainly could. Fred Lucas,
Speaker 1: thank you for trying to explain all this. It is
Speaker 1: very wonky, but it is fascinating to me. It is
Speaker 1: um it is the ultimate Washington three D chess and
Speaker 1: it's all been in the Constitution all these years, all
Speaker 1: these hundreds of years. So I'm I'm hoping we get
Speaker 1: to see some political theater on the sixth. And I
Speaker 1: sure appreciate you for explaining it to us. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and please check out the article. It's just got three
Speaker 1: things to know as twenty twenty election moves to Congress
Speaker 1: on Daily Signal dot com and I'll I'll tweet out
Speaker 1: a link to it as well. Thank you, Fred, Thank
Speaker 1: you Fred Lucas of the Daily Signal. There he goes
Speaker 1: and here I go. Michael Palka's stepping aside on the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Michael Palka here sitting in for my
Speaker 1: friend Buck Sexton as we wrap up twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: hope that twenty twenty one is not a crazy year
Speaker 1: like this past year was. And you know, last year,
Speaker 1: we started the year with the assassination of Kastam Solamani
Speaker 1: with the president taking out a deadly terrorist, and then
Speaker 1: he gets impeached, and it just went kind of sideways
Speaker 1: from there, not totally downhill, but it did go sideways.
Speaker 1: I'm looking over some of the stories of the day
Speaker 1: that nobody's talking about. Nobody's really talking about the fact
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden is finally, finally now divesting himself from
Speaker 1: the investment firm, the Chinese investment firm that he has
Speaker 1: apparently been making money from for years. How was that
Speaker 1: allowed to go on throughout the entire campaign. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you how the mainstream media didn't care. They look the
Speaker 1: other way the whole time. That's how it works when
Speaker 1: you have a D after your name. It's maddening. It's
Speaker 1: absolutely maddening. And speaking of maddening, how about this happy
Speaker 1: holidays everyone. I wanted to take a moment to send
Speaker 1: my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Quanza. Like so many
Speaker 1: other holidays, we will be celebrating Quanza a little differently
Speaker 1: this season. In our home. We'll be doing it over zoom.
Speaker 1: You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating
Speaker 1: Quanza every year. Our family would in our ended family,
Speaker 1: we would gather around, across multiple generations, and we tell stories.
Speaker 1: The kids would sit on the carpet and the elders
Speaker 1: would sit in chairs, and we would like the candles,
Speaker 1: and of course afterwards have a beautiful meal. And of
Speaker 1: course there was always the discussion of the seven principles.
Speaker 1: How about the principle of truth. I don't think there
Speaker 1: is a personal life who actually believes that this woman
Speaker 1: celebrated Quanza. She was two when quanza was invented, invented
Speaker 1: by a college professor. Yeah, I'm sorry, Kamala Harris. I
Speaker 1: don't think any of us believe any of this is true.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is just read the comment section.
Speaker 1: She looks like she's laughing through the whole thing. So
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Kamala. Your quanza declaration sounds like Bravo Sierra
Speaker 1: to me. But you know, I'm just opining. I have
Speaker 1: no proof. Although I would like to see some family
Speaker 1: photos that show you all sitting on the carpet with
Speaker 1: the elders in the chairs discussing the seven principles. Maybe
Speaker 1: you'll post those on the Transition Team website. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm stepping aside. Second hour coming up on the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We have to talk to my buddy, doctor
Speaker 1: Michael Royson from the Cleveland Clinic, and so much more
Speaker 1: to get to on The Buck Sexton Show with me.
Speaker 1: Michael pel you're in the Freedom Hende. This is the
Speaker 1: buck Sexton Show podcast. It's Michael Pelca filling in for
Speaker 1: my friend Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show. Thrilled
Speaker 1: to be here. I hope you had a great Christmas.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hang out until the new year gets here
Speaker 1: pretty much, and we'll try and cover all the news
Speaker 1: of the day plus some of the other stories that
Speaker 1: interest me. Cyphically, I'm trying to figure out what the
Speaker 1: heck is going on with the COVID, with the vaccine
Speaker 1: with the herd immunity. And that's why I brought in
Speaker 1: my friend from the Cleveland clinic, doctor Michael Royson. He's
Speaker 1: the guy behind the What to Eat When cookbook and
Speaker 1: the What to Eat When book. The guy is all
Speaker 1: about living healthier, living younger, so we can live better
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. Let's hope twenty one is going
Speaker 1: to be a great year. Welcome doctor Roysen my privilege.
Speaker 1: Hopefully it'll be a great start to the new year.
Speaker 1: I hope, So, I really do hope. So I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think that we've knocked off all the weirdness in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and we've cleared the decks and all the
Speaker 1: craziness can be pushed aside. So before I get into
Speaker 1: this week's medical research, I have to ask you a
Speaker 1: question about over the weekend, doctor Fauci, who got his
Speaker 1: own day. By the way, in Washington, DC, they name
Speaker 1: Christmas Day doctor Fauci Day. And I don't know if
Speaker 1: you have a day or your own, but not yet,
Speaker 1: not yet, okay, well, doctor projeck out one and then
Speaker 1: he went on TV and Dan a bash Over at
Speaker 1: CNN lived up to her name and kind of bashed
Speaker 1: him around a little bit and said, hey, you keep
Speaker 1: moving the gold posts on herd immunity. He ducked the
Speaker 1: question a little bit, But how do you feel about
Speaker 1: this herd immunity thing. I know you've had you've had
Speaker 1: discussions with me about it. I thought you always said
Speaker 1: it was around seventy percent. It depends on the infectiousness
Speaker 1: of the organism. For example, with measles, which has an urn,
Speaker 1: that's how many people one person will infect. Of seventeen,
Speaker 1: you have to have about ninety nine percent to get
Speaker 1: herd immunity, that is ninety nine percent and have to
Speaker 1: be infected. We've seen that because about ninety eight percent
Speaker 1: and infected, we still have these outbreaks. With a FU
Speaker 1: which has a infectiousness of the one and a half
Speaker 1: or two, then you only need about sixty fifty to
Speaker 1: sixty percent to get made to stop major outbreaks. The
Speaker 1: problem we have with this is it's mutating and getting
Speaker 1: a little more infective. That is the newer strain is.
Speaker 1: In fact, I think what he's doing is he's hedging
Speaker 1: on the newer strain being here without actually saying that,
Speaker 1: meaning with the older strain where chat on our nod
Speaker 1: of someplace between two and three, meaning one person would
Speaker 1: usually infect two or three people. Then you'd need about
Speaker 1: sixty to seventy percent protected to get hurt immunity. But
Speaker 1: with a new with the new mutant in Great Britain,
Speaker 1: which may well be here already people think it's here.
Speaker 1: In fact, since it was really first there in September,
Speaker 1: it means that we need and that may be the
Speaker 1: cause of this increase in outbreaks. We're seeing that we
Speaker 1: need at least eighty percent herd immunity to get to
Speaker 1: stop major outbreaks. And so that's what he may be
Speaker 1: saying now as they are not changes, as the effectivity
Speaker 1: changes with new mutations, we need more. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: that makes sense and also it makes sense now you've
Speaker 1: got me thinking, doctor Royson. With the these latest surges
Speaker 1: in cases, they appear to be on the East coast
Speaker 1: and the West coast. New York and California appear to
Speaker 1: be getting hit the hardest, and those would be the
Speaker 1: places that you would most likely expect travelers from Europe
Speaker 1: from England to be going first. And so that does
Speaker 1: make sense because I wondered, why are these states which
Speaker 1: have some of the most strict regulations on lockdowns, etc.
Speaker 1: Why are they having these outbreaks while if the most
Speaker 1: infectious type of this COVID is in those states. First,
Speaker 1: I guess you're going to see that, so that may
Speaker 1: explain it. Now, I'm I'm waiting for somebody to boil
Speaker 1: down the data for me. I'm sure they'll have it soon.
Speaker 1: Can we talk about some of the health research stuff
Speaker 1: that you sent me, because absolutely this is very cool.
Speaker 1: And now the second one on your list is one
Speaker 1: that my wife and I were talking about yesterday. Does
Speaker 1: your dog have diabetes? We're wondering if our dog is diabetic,
Speaker 1: she's drinking a lot of water and she's peeing a
Speaker 1: whole lot, and how would that make me at higher
Speaker 1: risk for diabetes? Well, too, we don't know the real transmission.
Speaker 1: It may be that you're sharing some of your dog's bacteria.
Speaker 1: It may be that you're feeding her and yourself more
Speaker 1: sugared food. It may be that you both are not
Speaker 1: doing as much exercise. Now, I know you get out
Speaker 1: and do a lot of exercise, especially with the record
Speaker 1: number of hole and ones you've had, so that zero
Speaker 1: is not a record, doctor, Zero zero is not actually
Speaker 1: a number. Zero is a number, I know, a bad one,
Speaker 1: But the point I'm bringing out is you get a
Speaker 1: fair bit of exercise, but your dog isn't walking the
Speaker 1: golf course with you. So one of the things that
Speaker 1: most people get is their dog and they get the
Speaker 1: same amount of exercise that ten thousand steps a day
Speaker 1: that we and that got propagated as the right number
Speaker 1: is it really helps break down insulin resistance, and that's
Speaker 1: the key. So what we know now is that the
Speaker 1: first place insulin resistance shows up is fat in your muscle,
Speaker 1: and then once you get fat in your muscle, in
Speaker 1: the next place is fat in your liver, and then
Speaker 1: you get overall insulin resistance. But the fat in your
Speaker 1: muscle makes it much worse for everything else in your body.
Speaker 1: So let's go back. So what diabetes is a is
Speaker 1: an insulin resistance state, meaning the insulin that you got
Speaker 1: can't do its job. And the job of insulin is
Speaker 1: like a mailman whose job is to take the mail
Speaker 1: and take it the glucose from your blood and into
Speaker 1: your cells. When glucose, when sugars in your blood, or
Speaker 1: when fructose is in your blood, it does harm, It
Speaker 1: deterior it causes the proteins that you have to not
Speaker 1: function as well when it gets in the cell. When
Speaker 1: it gets the glucos in the cell, that glucos gets
Speaker 1: to be metabolized and used for energy. So insulin resistance
Speaker 1: means you keep more in your blood that damages your
Speaker 1: proteins and lets you function less well, causing accumulation of fat,
Speaker 1: causing the muscles don't function as well. And that includes
Speaker 1: your heart muscle, and it also includes all the other
Speaker 1: organs like you liver and kidney. Wow, I know it's dangerous,
Speaker 1: and that explanation makes great sense because nobody ever explains
Speaker 1: it like that. They just have commercials advertising drugs when
Speaker 1: we should be getting out and walking and walking our
Speaker 1: dogs and all that stuff. As we're in the food
Speaker 1: area here, doctors, we're talking about the things we take in.
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask this question. I've asked chefs this question.
Speaker 1: Sea salt, kosher saw and pink salt. Are they any
Speaker 1: different than table salt? Are they any better or worse?
Speaker 1: Force Well, they may not be as good because the
Speaker 1: value of table salt is it's iodonized. Now, it used
Speaker 1: to be that much sea salt would accumulate some iodine
Speaker 1: from the sea as well, but the iodonation helps youre
Speaker 1: is needed for thyroid function, especially when you start growing up,
Speaker 1: so when you're young, and we don't tend to get
Speaker 1: enough iodine when we're young, So having regular sea salt
Speaker 1: when you're young and when salt isn't a problem may
Speaker 1: be a good thing. The kosher salt and the pink
Speaker 1: salts generally are just sodium chloride and no iodine, none
Speaker 1: of the small things that come with it, small minerals
Speaker 1: and other and even vitamins that attached to it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I know my chef friends say it's just they're just
Speaker 1: selling you expensive salt. That Yeah, the pinks it's not
Speaker 1: only expensive, but it's not as good. Well, that's that's
Speaker 1: good to know. While we're on this and talking about
Speaker 1: things we put in our bodies, you're always talking about
Speaker 1: omega threes. Why are omega threes good for us? Well,
Speaker 1: we need omega threes as they are important in the
Speaker 1: cell membrane of almost every cell, but especially your brain.
Speaker 1: And they're not storage fats, but they're structural fats. What
Speaker 1: that means is they're important at conducting nerve transmission, so
Speaker 1: they're they're important in what the cell does, and we
Speaker 1: don't get enough of them. They come from we know
Speaker 1: it is salmon and ocean trout and sardines fish like
Speaker 1: that have them, and they get them from plankton, which
Speaker 1: are both if you will, in the sea largely. The
Speaker 1: other places avocados walnuts are the only nut with appreciable
Speaker 1: omega three. Chia seeds can oil. There's there are a
Speaker 1: few other places you get them flax seed when they're
Speaker 1: ground that are helpful. And what those do is fifty
Speaker 1: percent of your brain is fat, so it's good to
Speaker 1: be called a fat head. And sixty percent of the
Speaker 1: fat is omega three, so it's a structural fat there
Speaker 1: that helps your brain process. Getting eleven hundred milligrams a
Speaker 1: day decreases your risk of heart disease and stroke. And
Speaker 1: it should be not just any old fat. It should
Speaker 1: be DHA and epa. Those are the the what you
Speaker 1: want to see on the label of fish oils is
Speaker 1: eleven hundred milligrams a DHA or epa when you combine them.
Speaker 1: So that's what you need for your heart and preventing stroke.
Speaker 1: You need nine hundred milligrams, So just figure eleven hundred
Speaker 1: milligrams a day for preventing brain dysfunction and for keeping
Speaker 1: your brain young. How much is that? That's three six
Speaker 1: ounce portions a week of wild salmon. That's a fair bit.
Speaker 1: So that's why most of us take a supplement vitamin
Speaker 1: of omega three in addition to trying to get salmon
Speaker 1: an ocean trout. So it's got to be the wild salmon.
Speaker 1: It can't be the farm salmon that has less of
Speaker 1: that omega three. Well, it can be, but it's got
Speaker 1: to be. Then instead of getting eighteen ounces three six
Speaker 1: ounce portions, you need six six ounce portions because you
Speaker 1: only get about half as much from that. So the
Speaker 1: fish that have most of it in it that don't
Speaker 1: have other contaminants, wild salmon and ocean trout. Sardines also
Speaker 1: are a good source. Yeah, but sardines, that's just a
Speaker 1: nasty sandwich. Doc, I'm sorry. I can't do the sardines.
Speaker 1: I can do me. I can't either, So that's why
Speaker 1: I love salmon. I'm with you on the salmon. His
Speaker 1: name is doctor Michael Royson. He is my go to
Speaker 1: guy on all issues. Medical, Doc, I appreciate you being
Speaker 1: there so much. I'm looking forward to the new year
Speaker 1: and the healthier year for all of us. Thank you,
Speaker 1: my friend, Thank you. I'm looking forward to it too, Michael.
Speaker 1: And there he goes, and here I go. Michael Pelka
Speaker 1: stepping aside on the Buck Sexton Show. You're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hunt. This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the buck Secon Exton Show. Michael Pelca filling
Speaker 1: in for backing. I need to check in on Nashville.
Speaker 1: So I've got my friend Pamela Fur on the phone.
Speaker 1: Pamela is with super Talk ninety nine in Nashville afternoon
Speaker 1: host newscaster. Hello, Pamela, Yeah, Super Talk ninety ninety seven.
Speaker 1: All right, we got the ninety nine seven in there.
Speaker 1: Thanks Pamela. I'm glad you're here. We need to talk
Speaker 1: about your town. How is Nashville doing well? I mean, truthfully,
Speaker 1: we're strong, we are resilient. But this has been a
Speaker 1: tough year for Nashville all around. First, we had tornadoes
Speaker 1: that ripped through Nashville and took out a lot of businesses,
Speaker 1: a lot of buildings on the East side of Music City. Then,
Speaker 1: of course COVID shut everything down, and because Nashville is
Speaker 1: run by liberals Democrats, a lot of people are out
Speaker 1: of work, Musicians aren't playing anymore, there's no tours going on,
Speaker 1: and so we've been hit really hard with that. And
Speaker 1: then to just top it off for twenty twenty, you
Speaker 1: have this bomb that explodes in downtown Nashville. It's but
Speaker 1: we're again, we're strong, But boy, this has been a
Speaker 1: tough one, Mike's it really has. Yeah, but the people
Speaker 1: in Nashville, everybody I've met from Nashville is just rock solid.
Speaker 1: And you knock them down, they look at you as
Speaker 1: they're getting up and go, oh, yeah, yeah, it really
Speaker 1: is true that that is a very good assessment. Well,
Speaker 1: and they're also wonderful people. Except I'm kind of concerned
Speaker 1: about your mayor, who seemed to be chuckling through some
Speaker 1: of the early interviews right after the bomb went off.
Speaker 1: You know, I have to wonder, and I've been asking
Speaker 1: this for a couple of days. You know, everybody got
Speaker 1: the call early in the morning. No one was expecting
Speaker 1: to have to face cameras in the morning. I have
Speaker 1: to wonder if his Christmas morning ritual is a little
Speaker 1: bit of Christmas cheer, you know, because he was not
Speaker 1: he was very a little too gig Gale, you know,
Speaker 1: for this particular situation, he was too jovial. He's smiling,
Speaker 1: he's laughing. He said, it's just a bunch of glass
Speaker 1: blown out a lot more than that. And so I
Speaker 1: have to wonder if he if he had a bloody
Speaker 1: marry or a mimosa or two. Well, maybe he went
Speaker 1: to midnight Mass the night before, and you know there's
Speaker 1: always a brunch after midnight Mass, so before you know it,
Speaker 1: the sun's coming up and maybe maybe just gotten home.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that might have been it happened to
Speaker 1: somebody you're talking to at this point in time in
Speaker 1: the past, just throwing that out there. We're talking with
Speaker 1: Pamela for her she is in Nashville, and give another
Speaker 1: Sun an update. What a remarkable story that in forty
Speaker 1: eight hours, law enforcement, the combined law enforcement, could reassemble
Speaker 1: the jigsaw puzzle that was all the debris and figure
Speaker 1: out what happened. And thank god, nobody died. But your
Speaker 1: law enforcement really stepped it up. I have to tell
Speaker 1: you that. Yeah. Absolutely. And here's what I find amazing.
Speaker 1: There are six police officers that we're calling heroes today
Speaker 1: and with the exception of the sergeant that's in the group.
Speaker 1: You're looking at people although they've been with the department
Speaker 1: for a little bit, we're not talking twenty years. We're
Speaker 1: talking these are three year veterans or two year veterans.
Speaker 1: These are young law enforcement officers. And so to have
Speaker 1: the wherewithal to know, you know what, we need to
Speaker 1: evacuate people, and we need to evacuate them now, get
Speaker 1: them out of this area. To run into the situation
Speaker 1: like that, not panicked, relying on their training, I think
Speaker 1: is absolutely remarkable. Yeah, it is a tribute to the
Speaker 1: city and the people of Nashville. And wow, you nailed it.
Speaker 1: Because the people work on Christmas morning, they're usually the
Speaker 1: people with the least seniority. They I cannot look at
Speaker 1: the boss and go now, I'm not working at Christmas, right,
Speaker 1: They're the ones that have to do it. And so
Speaker 1: the you know, thank God that these guys and girls
Speaker 1: were all on duty when they were These were the
Speaker 1: right people at the right time, and and nobody died
Speaker 1: except for the alleged bomber. Yeah, and I'm sorry for
Speaker 1: saying this. People, we won't have to pay to put
Speaker 1: them up in prison for the rest of its life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: We're just going to put him in a little urn
Speaker 1: and put them away somewhere, and that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Pamela fur I'm so appreciative of you taking the time
Speaker 1: out of your day. I know you're busy. Please give
Speaker 1: Nashville our regards. We love music city and we hope
Speaker 1: to be back soon to celebrate with you. Absolutely. Thank you, Mike.
Speaker 1: Have a good day, you too, Pamela. We'll be right
Speaker 1: back on The Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: the buses and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to The Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca, the Godfather,
Speaker 1: sitting in for Buck for a few days while he
Speaker 1: relaxes in Florida, and I think he's trying to take
Speaker 1: a Twitter time out. Actually, if you've been following Buck's feed,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. But I have things
Speaker 1: I need to talk about, questions I need answered, especially
Speaker 1: when we look at the crazy stories of the week
Speaker 1: and the one about Alec Baldwin's wife, his latest wife, Hilaria,
Speaker 1: whose real name is Hillary, and she has been passing
Speaker 1: herself off as Latina or is it Latin X. We'll
Speaker 1: have to figure that out. The topic of cultural appropriation
Speaker 1: is one that I need help understanding. Are their penalties,
Speaker 1: are their liabilities? What goes on with that? And some
Speaker 1: other crazy legal questions. So I've invited our friend, attorney
Speaker 1: author Wendy Patrick to join us. Wendy is with us.
Speaker 1: Welcome my friend to this final Monday of twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: the weirdest year ever, and I'm wishing it farewell. Let's
Speaker 1: help twenty one gives us better. Mondays, Oh, it's always
Speaker 1: a pleasure, and it's going to be a great Monday
Speaker 1: next year, isn't it. I hope? So I hope we
Speaker 1: start the next year and a much better footing. But
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, ending the year, we are
Speaker 1: full of crazy legal stories, and I have a couple
Speaker 1: of things I want to pull on your sleeve about
Speaker 1: and ask your questions. Is there a penalty anywhere that
Speaker 1: you know, a legal penalty for cultural appropriation? You know?
Speaker 1: My first instinct was to say not yet, because it
Speaker 1: is one of the really trends that we've seen over
Speaker 1: the last decade where many people at least are accused
Speaker 1: of perpetuating at least a belief let's say that they
Speaker 1: immigrated here from elsewhere, or that they wholesale are of
Speaker 1: the different nationality than they really are. And that's been
Speaker 1: something that we've seen more and more. Now, how often
Speaker 1: would it done before? We really don't know. It really
Speaker 1: wasn't a thing but cultural appropriation into something that's very
Speaker 1: very much objected to by people that actually are from
Speaker 1: other places and did go to the challenge of immigrating
Speaker 1: here legally, assimilating, learning the language. They're very offended by
Speaker 1: people who pretend to have done it all but actually
Speaker 1: grew up in the US. Yeah, it's really wild. And
Speaker 1: the one that comes to mind, the biggest one that
Speaker 1: made the biggest splash was, of course, a few years
Speaker 1: ago Rachel Dolizal, the daughter of two white parents who
Speaker 1: pretended that she was African American. She got to the
Speaker 1: point where she was an executive with the NAACP, a
Speaker 1: chapter I think in the Northwest, and then the story
Speaker 1: came out and she went underground. But we've since found
Speaker 1: there were professors, professors who were at university, had tenure
Speaker 1: and were professors of like black cultural studies programs, and
Speaker 1: they went, nah, I'm really not I don't have any
Speaker 1: black blood in me. And I better admit at this
Speaker 1: now because the story's coming out and there has been
Speaker 1: no legal penalty, no law against what they did. But
Speaker 1: they paid a price in their careers, in their professions
Speaker 1: being ostracized. So is that enough or is there something
Speaker 1: here that the law could actually be written because it
Speaker 1: seems like there's a whole lot of squishy turf that's right.
Speaker 1: And remember, I mean remember Elizabeth Warren and the Indian nationality.
Speaker 1: I mean, we have so many high profile examples of
Speaker 1: people who have been called out for allegedly proclaiming to
Speaker 1: be of some ethnicity that they're not. The Rachel Dolisol
Speaker 1: that was a huge example. But what did it do.
Speaker 1: It really opened the floodgates for a lot of other
Speaker 1: people to do exactly what you said, Mike, I better
Speaker 1: fess up now. I'm fascinated by this culture. I've spent
Speaker 1: a lot of time there maybe not correcting people that
Speaker 1: falsely claimed they were born there. We see more and
Speaker 1: more of that. It's one thing to have an affirmative misrepresentation,
Speaker 1: your check boxes on some sort of a form and
Speaker 1: you know you're lying, versus simply sort of going with
Speaker 1: the flow, and people are saying, well, what was it
Speaker 1: like to grow up in Spain, what was it like
Speaker 1: to be this nationality? What are your experiences growing up
Speaker 1: African American where you're really not but you kind of
Speaker 1: go with it? And is there a legal line where
Speaker 1: you can actually get into trouble well criminally civili. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's going to be a different answer for each but
Speaker 1: I think you mentioned one of the most practical aspects
Speaker 1: of that question. Who are we going to make an
Speaker 1: example of? And how many other people are we going
Speaker 1: to sweep in to this active or passive misrepresentation. What
Speaker 1: we're learning over the last at least five years is
Speaker 1: that it happens all the time, far more often than
Speaker 1: we realize it does. And I guess the case that's
Speaker 1: most irritating or most frustrating to me is when somebody
Speaker 1: culturally appropriates the life of a person who's in the military,
Speaker 1: and we actually do have a crime for that. It's
Speaker 1: called stolen valor. And if that's right, that's very different. Yep,
Speaker 1: good example. So that's out there. There actually is something
Speaker 1: that protects the reputation of the men and women who
Speaker 1: serve this country. And if someone's faking the funk and
Speaker 1: saying that they were in the service and they did
Speaker 1: do service to this or for this country and they didn't.
Speaker 1: They can get in a heap of trouble. But not
Speaker 1: so if you said, you know, well, I grew up
Speaker 1: a poor black child and so I know the experience
Speaker 1: here and you didn't. In the case of Rachel Dola's
Speaker 1: all that's right. Well, here's the difference is you can
Speaker 1: say whatever you say, that's one thing. But to apply
Speaker 1: for benefits because you're claiming to belong to a protected
Speaker 1: class or a privileged class or whatever type of class
Speaker 1: is going to get you the benefits, then you have
Speaker 1: fraud crimes. And so that's the big difference. Many people
Speaker 1: at cocktail parties say all kinds of things, and you know,
Speaker 1: we don't go home and google everybody that we've met,
Speaker 1: but tell you what, if we did, we might found out.
Speaker 1: There are some people that are embellishing, that are exaggerating
Speaker 1: some of it, are flat out and making things up.
Speaker 1: It's sort of like people lying on dating websites about
Speaker 1: their height, their way sometimes to rage not one whole category, right,
Speaker 1: I think we could go on and on about that one,
Speaker 1: but that you wouldn't say, well, we're going to charge
Speaker 1: those people with crimes. But if you're claiming to be
Speaker 1: a veteran in order to avail yourself the benefits that
Speaker 1: are only available to veterans, well, then that's a front crime.
Speaker 1: And we see this type of thing all the time.
Speaker 1: There are lots of different types of criminal laws that
Speaker 1: penalize lying about qualifying for different kinds of benefits, including
Speaker 1: the stolen valotype laws. But most of the time we're
Speaker 1: talking about getting pummeled in the court of public opinion,
Speaker 1: where you're arrested and tried and convicted simply by claiming
Speaker 1: to be of an ancestry you're not. Now here's an
Speaker 1: interesting thing about that, Mike that I've noticed in the
Speaker 1: last five years, because you and I have been talking
Speaker 1: about this, is what if you really do believe you
Speaker 1: are of a different nationality. I mean, remember that Elizabeth
Speaker 1: Warren was one of those people that said, look, this
Speaker 1: is the heritage I grew up with, and this is
Speaker 1: what we were told. You know, maybe that's all true,
Speaker 1: and if it is, you can't very well be guilty
Speaker 1: of affirmative misrepresentation if you've never done twenty three and
Speaker 1: me or whatever the latest test is, and then how
Speaker 1: do you prove that somebody didn't honestly believe that they
Speaker 1: were of some particular nationality. So, I you know, it's
Speaker 1: like squishy is your word. I'm going to say that's
Speaker 1: a good word. I always like slippery slopes because you
Speaker 1: remember what we talked about around the time that Rachel
Speaker 1: Dole is always making the news, is well, what if
Speaker 1: you say you're of a different gender or of a
Speaker 1: different orientation sexually or I mean, you could go on
Speaker 1: and on about the things that people come up with
Speaker 1: because they would like to belong to a class that
Speaker 1: they really don't belong to. Where do we draw the
Speaker 1: line saying this is your culpable here, but you're not here.
Speaker 1: So it's a very interesting conversation that we're going to
Speaker 1: keep having. We are and watched the case of Alec
Speaker 1: Baldwin's latest wife, Hilaria as he always calls her Hilaria
Speaker 1: or Hilaria. She's really named Hilary and she was born
Speaker 1: in Boston, and she's been misrepresenting that for a long time.
Speaker 1: She been telling people she's Hilaria and she's from Majorca, Spain,
Speaker 1: when in fact she's a Boston girl and now she's
Speaker 1: going to take a break from social media. If that
Speaker 1: were somebody who was related to a popular conservative entertainer,
Speaker 1: there would be no rest, There would only be attention.
Speaker 1: I want to get to this one other topic, Wendy,
Speaker 1: Are we going to need more time to talk about
Speaker 1: the New York Times story about the fifteen year old
Speaker 1: girl who posted a three second video years ago and
Speaker 1: she used the N word and it was I don't
Speaker 1: know how to describe what she was doing, but someone
Speaker 1: hung on to that clip for years, and when she
Speaker 1: finally got into college, that clip was made public and
Speaker 1: now she has lost access to her college entrances and
Speaker 1: many other things. Can we hold a fifteen year old
Speaker 1: a minor responsible for what they did? Can our past
Speaker 1: misgivings and our past stupid sayings, can they come back
Speaker 1: to haunt us legally? Well, it sounds like the answer
Speaker 1: is yes. And that's unfortunate because many teens and sometimes
Speaker 1: even preteens, I mean, you have these everybody's got phones
Speaker 1: in their hands, will say and do things that they
Speaker 1: will very much regret, sometimes only a couple of years later.
Speaker 1: Is it then fair that we hold on to what
Speaker 1: they didn't said when they were fifteen years old and
Speaker 1: use it to ruin their life, to use it to
Speaker 1: ruin their chances it's succeeding when they've matured, when they've
Speaker 1: grown up. You know, this is the type of thing
Speaker 1: that strikes fear into every pa parent that knows that
Speaker 1: their kids have a cell phone. It's what are they
Speaker 1: going to record? What are they going to do? Are
Speaker 1: they going to take photographs of themselves in compromising positions?
Speaker 1: Are they going to use spoul language or racially insensitive language?
Speaker 1: And if they do, are we going to bring it
Speaker 1: back years later to try to ruin their life. This
Speaker 1: is everybody's I say, every parent's worst fear, because unfortunately,
Speaker 1: when you're fifteen, sometimes you don't recognize the trouble you
Speaker 1: could be getting yourself into by what you do and
Speaker 1: say at that young age. I only hope that people
Speaker 1: take into consideration that a fifteen year old doesn't have
Speaker 1: the mind of an adult. That's why we have the
Speaker 1: whole juvenile system of treating criminals that commit crimes when
Speaker 1: they're young. So too, the court of public opinion, I
Speaker 1: think should recognize the same, and I think they do
Speaker 1: to some extent. Her name is Wendy Patrick. She is
Speaker 1: our legal genius that hangs out with us on a
Speaker 1: regular basis and we're going to have to get her
Speaker 1: back here soon. And if you want to know more,
Speaker 1: go to Wendypatrick PhD dot com. Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: Oh it's a pleasure, Mike, thanks for having me. And
Speaker 1: there she goes. Michael Pelca with you on the buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. We will be right back. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The bus Sexton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the buck Sexton Show Michael Pelca and
Speaker 1: from my friend Buck Sexton, and we're going to try
Speaker 1: and take you all the way to the end of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We're going to drag the year up to
Speaker 1: the cliff and the I'm going to shove it off
Speaker 1: and hope it goes all the way to the bottom
Speaker 1: of the canyon and never comes back again. Has that
Speaker 1: a little too rough? It's my language concerning to you.
Speaker 1: If it is, then you might be part of the
Speaker 1: Words Matter task Force that I would take exception to.
Speaker 1: The Words Matter task Force is actually something that exists
Speaker 1: on a college campus. Yes, the University of Michigan has
Speaker 1: the WMTF, which sounds like it's an abbreviation for someone cursing.
Speaker 1: But the Words Matter Task Force is out to level
Speaker 1: the playing field in language. This is one of the
Speaker 1: most ridiculous things of twenty twenty. It was established by
Speaker 1: the Information and Technology Services Department at Michigan State. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry the University of Michigan. I'm sorry Michigan State people.
Speaker 1: Your group couldn't possibly come up with something this dumb,
Speaker 1: could it? Maybe it could. So the more than two
Speaker 1: dozen words that are listed on the blacklist, which actually
Speaker 1: is one of the words on the list blacklist, So
Speaker 1: we can't even say it's a blacklist because that would
Speaker 1: be racist, right, That's how ridiculous this is. But some
Speaker 1: of the words on the list are picnic and brown bag.
Speaker 1: Now I carried my lunch in a brown bag? Am
Speaker 1: I not allowed to say I'm brown bagging it anymore?
Speaker 1: While at Michigan they want you to say it's lunch
Speaker 1: and learn time. What is wrong with people? And we
Speaker 1: can't say picnic anymore, we have to say gathering. Well,
Speaker 1: a gathering could be many things. A picnic might be
Speaker 1: a gathering, but not all gatherings are picnics. These people
Speaker 1: are idiots. They said that picnic is racist, then where
Speaker 1: did they get this idea from idiots on the internet,
Speaker 1: of course, And despite the fact that in July Reuters
Speaker 1: a news agency actually published a piece headline saying fact check,
Speaker 1: the word picnic does not originate from racist lynchings. It
Speaker 1: does not. Somebody put out a bunch of image is
Speaker 1: on social media claiming that picnic originates from extra judicial
Speaker 1: killings of African Americans. And this is false, This is
Speaker 1: not even close to being true. We're also not allowed
Speaker 1: to use the word dummy anymore. That should be replaced
Speaker 1: by the word sample. What a bunch of samples these
Speaker 1: people are. And we can't use the word crippled. We
Speaker 1: have to use weakened. We're not allowed to say something
Speaker 1: is crazy, we have to say it's unthinkable. And the
Speaker 1: term off the reservation, you're not allowed to use that
Speaker 1: anymore either because that's racist. Apparently, you have to replace
Speaker 1: that with out of the norms or rogue the language police.
Speaker 1: They are everywhere and they're not going to give up
Speaker 1: until we all have just generic words for things. They're
Speaker 1: doing it with genders. They're doing it with language. I
Speaker 1: think this is just insane. You remember when the low
Speaker 1: hanging fruit term was decided that that was racist. A
Speaker 1: college professor said it's racist for African Americans. He said,
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit, we think of lynching. Not everything's racist.
Speaker 1: May Hicks Jones, a faculty member at the Elgin Community
Speaker 1: College in Illinois. Grandfathered is also racist. Remember that we're
Speaker 1: now let's say something is grandfathered in anymore. That's racist.
Speaker 1: And the master's golf tournament, yeah, we can't use that anymore.
Speaker 1: And I guess we're not allowed to use the term
Speaker 1: master bedroom either, because that's racist. If you're saying that
Speaker 1: you have a master bedroom in your home, you must
Speaker 1: be a slave owner. This is madness, people, And the
Speaker 1: sooner we stop the madness, the better our country will be,
Speaker 1: the better America will be, the better the world will be.
Speaker 1: Language is something we have to fight for every single day,
Speaker 1: and I, for one, am committed to do it. That's
Speaker 1: why I broadcast from the constitutionally protected free speech bunker
Speaker 1: in the woods of Arden, Delaware, where the language you
Speaker 1: should fight hardest for is the language that offends you
Speaker 1: the most, and that's exactly what I'm committed to do.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Come on back, you're in the freedom mind. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. I am in for Buck Sexton. My name
Speaker 1: is Michael Pelka. You guys know me. I've been here
Speaker 1: before and I'll be here again, God willing. And also
Speaker 1: joining us on the phone is somebody I work with
Speaker 1: during my time at the Blaze, my brief time at
Speaker 1: the Blaze, and his brief time at the Blaze. Eddie
Speaker 1: Scary is his name. He is one of the more
Speaker 1: entertaining writers you will encounter, and he's over at the
Speaker 1: Washington Examiner, but he's on the phone with us right now.
Speaker 1: Hello Eddie. I'm Mike Mayor Christmas heading into the new year.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year in advance, Yeah, thank you, I'm you
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a weird new Year. I spent
Speaker 1: twenty three years in Midtown Manhattan, and they're still preparing
Speaker 1: to drop the ball. But there's gonna be nobody there.
Speaker 1: Why why are they even bothering? Well, I guess there's
Speaker 1: some people who watch it on TV, but no I
Speaker 1: think the atmosphere won't quite as won't quite be the same. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a hundred people there, the first responders,
Speaker 1: one hundred lucky first responders. The last time we did it,
Speaker 1: there were I think just under a million people gathered.
Speaker 1: At least they won't have to fight for a bathroom.
Speaker 1: That's to be the only good thing. But it just
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to me what happens in the
Speaker 1: scary household on New Year's Eve? Where will you be? Well?
Speaker 1: Right now, I'm in South Carolina visiting family. I came
Speaker 1: for the holidays. Yes, I actually traveled. I'm sorry. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry to the CDC. I actually did travel. But I
Speaker 1: will return the head of New Year's two where I
Speaker 1: actually live in Washington, GC, And I don't know yet.
Speaker 1: I don't have any plans yet. Usually I figured something
Speaker 1: out to do last minute. You know, everything in DC
Speaker 1: is very very restricted. I think they're actually they've actually
Speaker 1: shut down indoor indoor dining. They did on the twenty third.
Speaker 1: They shut it down and it'll be that way through
Speaker 1: the fifteenth of January, so there's no where you can
Speaker 1: really go anyway. I'll probably just see I might go
Speaker 1: head over to a couple of friends house or something
Speaker 1: like that. Socially distanced New Year's of course, I'm sure
Speaker 1: right you're gonna be mask and spending time away from everyone.
Speaker 1: I'm a socially distanced person anyway. I kind of like
Speaker 1: it that way. And the big crowds really have never
Speaker 1: been for me. While I'm with you on that, even
Speaker 1: though I've a regular Marty Gras in the past, it's
Speaker 1: never been enjoyable when you can lift your feet up
Speaker 1: and you won't fall to the ground, that's how dense
Speaker 1: the crowds are. Some of those not a good place.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about DC because DC is a very strange
Speaker 1: place these days. As you said, indoor dining closed, and
Speaker 1: I think some of the outdoor dining joints even have restrictions.
Speaker 1: You left town to go to South Carolina to be
Speaker 1: with family, so you missed doctor Fauci Day in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: That's try he got his own day and wasn't it
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve? Yes, I'm sorry to miss it. I'm
Speaker 1: sure I'm sure they weren't sorry to see me go,
Speaker 1: But yeah, I did unfortunately miss that very very special day. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that next year, he'll get even he may
Speaker 1: get a week. Who knows he is Uh Saint Fauci.
Speaker 1: At this point traveling Um in the airport? What was
Speaker 1: that like? I have not traveled either by train or
Speaker 1: by plane, which is something I used to do monthly
Speaker 1: since the pandemic. Was it um socially distanced? Was the
Speaker 1: plane full? Empty? Mask? The whole way? The plane was full? UM?
Speaker 1: I know that I know Delta. I think it is
Speaker 1: still doing empty middle seats. This was not Delta. It
Speaker 1: was a full flight. UM. The airport itself. I had
Speaker 1: a morning flight. This is in Washington, DC's at DCA Airport. UM,
Speaker 1: that was very dead. It was very good. There was
Speaker 1: not most of the places that even were closed, restaurants
Speaker 1: or anything. They were all closed other than one. UM.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there weren't. There weren't too many travelers day
Speaker 1: I flew into Charlotte. UM, that one was a lot busier,
Speaker 1: but that's always that's always a busier airport. But yeah,
Speaker 1: there wasn't wasn't too much in DC. Interesting. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: curious because I am not. I'm dying to go somewhere anywhere,
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to travel internationally, preferably, And now
Speaker 1: we're hearing that all the very slippery viruses are in
Speaker 1: England and all over the EU. So I'm screwed that way. Eddie.
Speaker 1: You wrote a piece, an opinion piece in the Washington
Speaker 1: Examiner that I found to be pretty interesting, and it's
Speaker 1: all about working from home or not working from home.
Speaker 1: And I think you've stepped in something here that the
Speaker 1: left is going to try and force people not to
Speaker 1: go into the office anymore because it's unfair. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: I read an article that said there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of companies that and they talk about this as if
Speaker 1: there were new there. This has been I remember when
Speaker 1: I was coming into the workforce, there was a whole
Speaker 1: push as I was in college and moving into the
Speaker 1: again graduating and moving into the workforce, there was a
Speaker 1: push and it was kind of in vote for big companies,
Speaker 1: especially to allow a lot of flexibility for people to
Speaker 1: work from home as they could. Um, and you know
Speaker 1: what did that? What was the productivity like? And a
Speaker 1: lot of the you know, it raised the satisfaction of
Speaker 1: a lot of workers. They enjoyed it. They enjoyed the flexibility, which,
Speaker 1: of course, I mean, if it's nice to have flexibility.
Speaker 1: I don't know why they talk about this as if
Speaker 1: it were new or as if it's never been tried before. Um.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of companies I think that are
Speaker 1: that are of saying, you know, even even post pandemic, um,
Speaker 1: we're just going to allow people to stay home. But
Speaker 1: some people that this is a New York Times UM
Speaker 1: writer yesterday or this maybe it was last week, maybe
Speaker 1: or this week. I forget when they're all blurring together now, um,
Speaker 1: but this New York Times writers said, well, no, we
Speaker 1: should actually make it to where if you're going to
Speaker 1: have an office and did not allowed for workers to
Speaker 1: even voluntarily go in every day if they wanted to,
Speaker 1: they should They should not be allowed to go in
Speaker 1: because all that does is for the people who then
Speaker 1: decide they want to stay home for whatever reason it created,
Speaker 1: it creates a disadvantage for the person who wants to
Speaker 1: stay home, a professional disadvantage because well, the person who's
Speaker 1: going to the office, they look more more dedicated, more
Speaker 1: committed to the job than the people who choose to
Speaker 1: stay home. So that just shouldn't be allowed. Well, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I mean this is something I've noticed l I would say,
Speaker 1: within my own my own life, is that there are
Speaker 1: many people who want to stay home. I prefer going
Speaker 1: into my office. But I know that in many cases
Speaker 1: it's going to be that when bosses, supervisors, in my
Speaker 1: case its editors, when they see you and they see
Speaker 1: you every day going into the office, I mean, and
Speaker 1: then there's people who are staying at home. You have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to build personal relationships but also build on
Speaker 1: your professional relationship with your supervisors, with your direct colleagues
Speaker 1: who are going into the office. And one it is
Speaker 1: I do find it to just be better to have
Speaker 1: in person physical interaction. But it also is just that
Speaker 1: there are people who by and large are going to
Speaker 1: determine what your path is professionally, whether you get it risks,
Speaker 1: whether you get a promotion. And it's just like cons
Speaker 1: that if you're in the office, you you have that
Speaker 1: advantage versus somebody who decides the not wants at home.
Speaker 1: I love the way these people, they're like the central
Speaker 1: Planning committee of the old Soviet Union. They decide what's
Speaker 1: best for everyone because they understand fairness better than anyone.
Speaker 1: So they're gonna tell you, no, you cannot show up
Speaker 1: for work if you want to, we don't care. If
Speaker 1: you are more efficient in doing that, you must it's
Speaker 1: fair foot And they don't want they don't want anyone
Speaker 1: outperforming them as the thing. And they want they want
Speaker 1: things with their way. Even if people say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: you can have it your way. You are allowed to
Speaker 1: do what you want to do. But everyone else is
Speaker 1: not going to live by that word. They said no
Speaker 1: because that puts to mean a disadvantage and that's not fair. Well,
Speaker 1: if it's only fair, whenever you have the advantage off,
Speaker 1: it's only fair because it's nor way of life. That's
Speaker 1: the definition of fair. Yeah, you nailed it. Though you
Speaker 1: nailed it when you said they don't want people showing
Speaker 1: up because they'll get ahead of them. That's truly what
Speaker 1: this is about. It's all about maintaining their own turf
Speaker 1: while they say no one else should have better turf
Speaker 1: than me. It's such a good piece. Eddie Scary is
Speaker 1: our guest here. He is with the Washington Examiner and
Speaker 1: writes great commentary stuff. He also had a book out,
Speaker 1: The Privileged Victims, How America's culture fascist hijacked the country
Speaker 1: and elevated its worst people. Eddie the Longest title in
Speaker 1: the history of mankind. We need to work on some
Speaker 1: book title editing for you. I'm just saying yes, but
Speaker 1: that is it is a long tile. Thank you for
Speaker 1: saying it all in one breath. But it's timely. It's
Speaker 1: more timely than ever. It only came out I think,
Speaker 1: I think in March or April, and it still has
Speaker 1: such a life, and it's still everything we saw happen
Speaker 1: over the summer with the George Floyd rioting. Everywhere we're
Speaker 1: seeing it. There's a new example every day. I'm writing
Speaker 1: on one right now for the Washington Examiner. All go
Speaker 1: up today. But just the social justice movement they like
Speaker 1: to call it, but I call them social justice monsters,
Speaker 1: social justice mob um. The way they operate as scaring, intimidating,
Speaker 1: harassing innocent people. You know what you're seeing. You see
Speaker 1: the videos online with the Black Lives Matter riders walking
Speaker 1: up down, walking up and down the streets and getting
Speaker 1: in the faces of people who are simply sitting outside
Speaker 1: eating dinner, um, demanding that they raise their fists in
Speaker 1: the air. Otherwise they're going to continue screaming in their face.
Speaker 1: When it was the the RNC was going on the
Speaker 1: Republican Convention over the summer in Washington, DC. People trying
Speaker 1: to senators, sitting senators, trying to walk home, otherwise just
Speaker 1: completely innocent, random pedestrians on the street, walking trying to
Speaker 1: get back to their hotels. And these black lives matter
Speaker 1: months there's just in their face, screaming at them, scaring them.
Speaker 1: And they do this, by the way, while claiming to
Speaker 1: have the moral high ground. They have their harassing people,
Speaker 1: while claiming this is all this is all in the
Speaker 1: name of justice and and where are the inherently moral ones?
Speaker 1: While while scaring people. It's really bizarre. But that's what
Speaker 1: my book touches on. It touches on all of that.
Speaker 1: The social justice monsters, social justice mob more timely than ever.
Speaker 1: His name is Eddie Scary. Follow him on Twitter. I
Speaker 1: guarantee you you will enjoy the ride and hopefully I'll
Speaker 1: get to see you next time. I'm in d C.
Speaker 1: Eddie sounds good. Mike, You're in the Freedom Heart. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka introducing you to a friend
Speaker 1: of mine. Jim Stovall is his name. He was going
Speaker 1: to be an Olympic weightlifter, but he lost his sight,
Speaker 1: so instead of lifting weights for a living, he turned
Speaker 1: to motivation. He became one of the most prolific motivational
Speaker 1: speakers and writers ever, and he invented a channel for
Speaker 1: people who don't have vision to be able to enjoy
Speaker 1: movies in television. It's called the Narrative Television Network. So
Speaker 1: it's got over fifty books to his credit, and he
Speaker 1: writes a motivational column every week. And I hang out
Speaker 1: with him and talk to him on the radio all
Speaker 1: the time. Jim Stove, all, welcome, my friend. I'm so
Speaker 1: happy you are here. Well, it is great to be
Speaker 1: with you. A wonderful holiday season. And when you talk
Speaker 1: about half work and half play, that you and me, buddy,
Speaker 1: I'm working and you're always playing, so it's always great.
Speaker 1: And before we kick off the shameless plug, is anybody
Speaker 1: interested in holiday movies, Christmas movies, whatever, or just family
Speaker 1: stuff when you're after the big feast and you're looking
Speaker 1: for something to do. All of My Ultimate Gifts series,
Speaker 1: the trilogy is running on Hallmark Drama Channel multiple times.
Speaker 1: On the twenty nine that they're going to run all
Speaker 1: three back to back to back you could get so
Speaker 1: sick of Jim Stovall all in one sitting right there
Speaker 1: on the December twenty ninth. But we're excited, and we've
Speaker 1: had a great relationship with them and continue to appreciate that.
Speaker 1: But anyway, well we're excited. This time of year they
Speaker 1: always bring him. And why they decided these were Christmas
Speaker 1: movies is really beyond me. But I remember Frank Capra
Speaker 1: being bewildered why people thought It's a Wonderful Life was
Speaker 1: a Christmas show and you know, they had one scene
Speaker 1: or you know, we're surrounding Christmas, and it was kind
Speaker 1: of a mystery to him as well. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: there are people who claim that die Hard is not
Speaker 1: a Christmas movie, and I challenged them to watch it
Speaker 1: and not see die Hard as one of the great
Speaker 1: Christmas films of all time. Diehard is appropriate for any holiday.
Speaker 1: There is no holiday that doesn't hit perfect perfect Jim, Well,
Speaker 1: what are we putting down and picking up this week
Speaker 1: with you? Well, I thought for the holiday season. This
Speaker 1: one is called a romantic comedy and it's about a
Speaker 1: late great Jack Benny. And you know, for those of
Speaker 1: your audience who were in the bloom of their youth,
Speaker 1: I will sell Jack Benny was a great comedian radio
Speaker 1: television movies, and you know, the best I ever was
Speaker 1: at what he did. And he had this kind of
Speaker 1: stick he did as his act. He acted like he
Speaker 1: was really really cheap and stingy, and then he would
Speaker 1: always come out and play the violin and he played
Speaker 1: it horribly well. Later in life we found out from
Speaker 1: reading his biography that he was a great philanthropist and
Speaker 1: gave away millions of dollars. And during the Great Depression,
Speaker 1: when the symphonies across the country were suffering and destitute
Speaker 1: as they are now, he went out on tour and
Speaker 1: played with them. And he was actually quite accomplished as
Speaker 1: a violinist, so he was able to do that and
Speaker 1: draw a crowd and do that. But the fascinating thing,
Speaker 1: you know, on radio and on TV, his wife, Mary
Speaker 1: Livingston played his girlfriend, and he was always trying to
Speaker 1: get her to marry him on the shows, and she
Speaker 1: never did, but she was actually his wife. And when
Speaker 1: he died in nineteen seventy four, that right after his funeral,
Speaker 1: a florist came to the house and delivered her one
Speaker 1: perfect rose from Jack, and she thought, wow, this is
Speaker 1: a great thing, and she said it aside, and you know,
Speaker 1: this was something to remember him by. And the next
Speaker 1: day she was trying to think should I have this
Speaker 1: preserved or dipped in gold leave, or what should I
Speaker 1: do with this rose? When the doorbell rang in it
Speaker 1: was another perfect rose. And for the next eleven years
Speaker 1: she lived every day a perfect rose came to her
Speaker 1: delivered from Jack all those years. And you know, when
Speaker 1: I think about this time of year and what we
Speaker 1: can give people and what really matters, it's the simple
Speaker 1: creative things that we bring to evil that you know,
Speaker 1: really say who we are and how we feel about them,
Speaker 1: And those are the things that really matter. And I
Speaker 1: always have that lingering memory of Jack Benny as this
Speaker 1: comedian and whatever, but more than that, just an amazing
Speaker 1: soul meet and life companion he was with his wife.
Speaker 1: That story is just so inspiring and irritating at the
Speaker 1: same time, because so many of our spouses will hear
Speaker 1: it and look at us and say, well, what have
Speaker 1: you done? And I guess that's the point, is that
Speaker 1: we need to be thinking about those people in our
Speaker 1: lives who really matter to us, and what can we
Speaker 1: do in terms of a simple gesture that will let
Speaker 1: them know how we feel about them, and especially at
Speaker 1: this time of year, that seems to be it. Well,
Speaker 1: the great gifts are not you know, where did you
Speaker 1: give me for Christmas or Valentine's or Birthday or anniversary.
Speaker 1: The great gifts are the unexpected things that happen for
Speaker 1: no reason other than I cared and I wanted you
Speaker 1: to know that. And those of the things that matter.
Speaker 1: So as we come out of the holiday season and
Speaker 1: you know, and look to Christmas, a new year and beyond,
Speaker 1: you know, just always be in that spirit of giving,
Speaker 1: and you know what can you do a little extra
Speaker 1: that will make a huge difference for somebody down the road.
Speaker 1: I appreciate all of the lessons you gave us this year.
Speaker 1: I'd be hard pressed to say which one was my favorite,
Speaker 1: because each one always gives me a little bit of
Speaker 1: a Hey, you got to work on that a little
Speaker 1: bit more. And it's all about being better, you know,
Speaker 1: you talk about job security. If it comes down to
Speaker 1: what does Michael Pelka need to work on, you know,
Speaker 1: we'll be here forever. So it's a great thing. And
Speaker 1: I always appreciate our weekly visit we shoe an amazing
Speaker 1: holiday season, and I will look forward to continuing the
Speaker 1: self improvement of Michael Pelka in the new year. I
Speaker 1: want everybody go to Jim Stowall dot com. Check out
Speaker 1: Jim's columns each and every week. He's truly the best
Speaker 1: at what he does, and we're blessed to have you here.
Speaker 1: We will see you in the new year. I look
Speaker 1: forward to be well and we'll be right back. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to The Bus Seston Show podcasts. Remember to
Speaker 1: subscribe on Apple podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you
Speaker 1: get your podcasts. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka, the Godfather sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton.
Speaker 1: I'll be here tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday evening, and we'll
Speaker 1: say goodbye to twenty twenty. We'll look back at some
Speaker 1: of the insanity of the past year, and we will
Speaker 1: look forward to some of the hopeful stuff happening in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. We still have a shot, you know,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump still has a shot. It's a diminishing opportunity,
Speaker 1: but he has a shot. So we will see what happens.
Speaker 1: January sixth, Washington, DC, Joint Session of Congress and we'll
Speaker 1: dive into that. You know what else I need to
Speaker 1: dive into. I need to introduce you to a friend
Speaker 1: of mine. She's a member of the media. She's a
Speaker 1: film critic, somebody that I talked to almost teaching every
Speaker 1: week about the new movies, new TV shows. Her name
Speaker 1: is Nancy Jay and I think she's been on this
Speaker 1: show with me before. But I want to get Nancy
Speaker 1: in here to talk about the Alec Baldwin thing, because
Speaker 1: I have to tell you had a little bit of
Speaker 1: a schaden for a moment when I saw Alec Baldwin's
Speaker 1: current wife got caught culturally appropriating. She's pretended to be
Speaker 1: Spanish when she's not. She's an American woman born in Boston.
Speaker 1: Her name is Hillary. Well, let's get Nancy in here.
Speaker 1: Nancy Ja, my buddy, my pal, film critic extraordinaire. You've
Speaker 1: seen the story about Hilaria, haven't you. Indeed I have,
Speaker 1: and I thought it was hilarious, very good, very good.
Speaker 1: One of us had to get to that before the
Speaker 1: other did, and I'm glad it was you. And now
Speaker 1: I was just looking back at some of the videotapes
Speaker 1: of Alec Baldwin's current wife because he's had a few
Speaker 1: and the mother of four of his children the last
Speaker 1: time I counted, and she had presented herself on occasion
Speaker 1: as being a person of Hispanic heritage and the name Hilaria,
Speaker 1: despite the fact she was born in Boston and her
Speaker 1: real name is Hilary, which I find hilarious, as you mentioned.
Speaker 1: But here's a little snippet of Hilaria on the Today
Speaker 1: Show talking about getting in shape after having their fourth baby.
Speaker 1: It's not easy, and I think part of it is
Speaker 1: that I'm in shape before I have a baby, and
Speaker 1: then I stay active when I'm pregnant and I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to stay thin. I'm just trying to keep my
Speaker 1: circulation going and stretching and keep my muscle trying. And
Speaker 1: then when I have a baby, I've been so lucky
Speaker 1: to have pretty good labor and deliver, so then I
Speaker 1: can kind of hit the road right out of doors.
Speaker 1: But I don't think I exercise as much as everybody
Speaker 1: thinks I do. So I know a lot of women
Speaker 1: are not happy with her just because her body snapped
Speaker 1: back instantly after she had this child. But that sounds
Speaker 1: like a valley girl from La to me. I thought
Speaker 1: it was Jessica Simpson there for a moment. Well, here's
Speaker 1: what here's what Hilaria sounded like on another occasion. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: it's the final season of thirty Rock, which means big
Speaker 1: guest stars. And I guess that you're going to be
Speaker 1: home a lot more often. You're going to be home
Speaker 1: a lot more often. Yeah, well she was did She
Speaker 1: says she was raised in Spain, Majorca. She said her
Speaker 1: family is in MYRCA. But the difference from the Today
Speaker 1: Show and she sounds more like she's got the Ricky
Speaker 1: Ricardo's school of accents. Here. Only one woman could make
Speaker 1: this giant, extra exclusive happen. Alex Wife, this is what
Speaker 1: it looks like home. This is what it looks like
Speaker 1: at home. Well, I'll tell you what. Alec Baldwin knows
Speaker 1: how to pick him him. That is his second one, Kimball. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I thought he had another one before that. Okay,
Speaker 1: no, no no, that's okay, because yeah, but anyway, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: what are you going to do? I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: interesting how we see these stars now that we're really
Speaker 1: watching them closely because we don't have anything else to do.
Speaker 1: I guess, well, nothing's going to happen because he's got
Speaker 1: a D after his name. Okay, he's got the free pats.
Speaker 1: He played Donald Trump, and he's a Democrat, so he oh,
Speaker 1: Hollywood will not exact a penalty on him. Had this
Speaker 1: been Kelsey Grammer or someone who is an outspoken Democrat,
Speaker 1: had this been Pat say Jack if you will, and
Speaker 1: it turns out that Pat Say Jack's wife was faking
Speaker 1: the funk, they would demand he'd be tied to the
Speaker 1: wheel and spun repeatedly until he asked away. I'm just saying, mmmmmmm,
Speaker 1: you're probably right. The crazy world out there, it is
Speaker 1: a crazy world. And speaking of crazy world, we're now
Speaker 1: starting to see movies go back to theaters. There was
Speaker 1: this big release on Christmas Day of Wonder Woman nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty four, whatever it was. I didn't go seeing. You've
Speaker 1: seen it already, correct, yes, yes, but I was able
Speaker 1: to stream it on HBO Max on Christmas Day as well.
Speaker 1: But here's what's interesting. Wonder Woman nineteen eighty four. They're
Speaker 1: calling it a robust a robust opening at least for
Speaker 1: a pandemic sixteen point seven million dollars at about twenty
Speaker 1: one hundred locations, the first wonder Woman open to one
Speaker 1: hundred and three million dollars over the first week into
Speaker 1: June twenty seventeen. But what's interesting is nearly half of
Speaker 1: HBO Max's subscribers nearly half viewed Wonder Woman eight nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty four when it became available on Christmas Day, three
Speaker 1: times three times the viewing than HBO Max has had,
Speaker 1: and that stills relatively new. And of course, in true
Speaker 1: Hollywood fashion, Mike now Warners has announced a three quel.
Speaker 1: Patty Jenkins will write and direct again Galga Dot returning,
Speaker 1: but no word on whether that will also be a
Speaker 1: simultaneous HBO Max and we don't know when or where
Speaker 1: it's going to be opening. So here's what I found interesting.
Speaker 1: Where do you think which Americans, which American cities braved
Speaker 1: this Christmas Day movie in the theaters during this pandemic?
Speaker 1: Where would you say? I would think it would be
Speaker 1: the number one theater. I would think it'd be the coast,
Speaker 1: like Los Angeles or New York. No, because the ten
Speaker 1: major movie going markets, so many of them remain off limits.
Speaker 1: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. No. No, No,
Speaker 1: the number one grossing theater for World War World War.
Speaker 1: Keep looking at WW eighty four is how they're making it,
Speaker 1: wonder them in nineteen eighty four. Salt Lake City, really
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City in fact, like like Utah, Florida and
Speaker 1: Texas have also been a haven for the indoor cinema
Speaker 1: and cinemas in recent months because they have been you know,
Speaker 1: they're they're down to so x amount capacity and you
Speaker 1: have to wear masks unless you're eating popcorn or drinking
Speaker 1: a soda. But it was Dallas, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Houston,
Speaker 1: and it did um. Now New Jersey, Connecticut, and upstate
Speaker 1: New York theaters were able to see the movie and
Speaker 1: they did pretty well. But also Orlando, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami,
Speaker 1: and Austin, Texas. So Salt Lake City, I mean, Utah
Speaker 1: and Texas were the big East. How about that? And
Speaker 1: I love this. There were more than ten thousand private
Speaker 1: watch parties across the country, according to Warner Brothers. You
Speaker 1: know that's where you can you buy out the whole
Speaker 1: theater and you let your you know, your your select
Speaker 1: family and friends come see the movie. Ten thousand private
Speaker 1: watch parties, So ten thousand, like two hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: bucks a screening. Maybe more. Maybe it's five hundred bucks
Speaker 1: and you get twenty people there. That's a pretty good deal.
Speaker 1: I would do that. I would do that to see it,
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, But no, it's it's personally. I still prefer
Speaker 1: streaming it on HBO Max, which you know. It's just
Speaker 1: it really makes my life a lot easier, to tell
Speaker 1: you the truth, to be able to see all these movies.
Speaker 1: I can watch one on my laptop. I can do
Speaker 1: it in bed, I can do it in the kitchen,
Speaker 1: I can do it all i'm meeting, you know, I
Speaker 1: can basically watch a movie while I'm taking a walk
Speaker 1: if I wanted to do it that way. Well, I
Speaker 1: like the giant screen experience, the thundering sound of the
Speaker 1: bass that shakes the theater beneath me. I love the
Speaker 1: experience of sound and light and the darkness around me.
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm just going to have to buy
Speaker 1: a bigger TV. You know. I don't miss that. I
Speaker 1: don't miss that at all. I can understand, Oh, it
Speaker 1: would look good, but I always thought the movies had
Speaker 1: gotten weight too loud, much too loud, And I don't
Speaker 1: want my seat, my seat to shake. Um. Here's one
Speaker 1: I have you watched George Clooney on Netflix just opened
Speaker 1: The Midnight Sky. I had a director star I have not. Okay,
Speaker 1: well I've I've got a sneaking suspicion. You talked to
Speaker 1: George Clooney, I did. I can't resist George Clooney. He
Speaker 1: is by far the best interview He is always giving,
Speaker 1: He'll answer your questions. He has the record for the
Speaker 1: most junk at interviews where you know where they fly
Speaker 1: the press and I think one one movie he did
Speaker 1: like ninety in an eight hour day, which means like
Speaker 1: every five minute someone was going in and coming out,
Speaker 1: someone going in and coming out. And he never loses
Speaker 1: his cool or acts like he's tired. So that, yes,
Speaker 1: I mean. And unfortunately though I talked to gorgeous George
Speaker 1: still look he's actually he's aging really well. At fifty six.
Speaker 1: George had not heard about we hadn't heard about Tom
Speaker 1: Cruise's mess, you know, on the Mission Impossible set. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: so I wasn't able. I wasn't able to ask him
Speaker 1: about that, but he later he later came out and said,
Speaker 1: you know, I agree with what I agree with the sentiment,
Speaker 1: but not the way Tom Cruise said it. So, I
Speaker 1: mean even George, you know, he wasn't real happy with
Speaker 1: Tom's use of the really bad language to his crew.
Speaker 1: In the closing seconds here, Nancy, you talked to George,
Speaker 1: but would you recommend the movie? I felt like I've
Speaker 1: seen it before. It's about the end of the world
Speaker 1: and the last scientist in the Arctic, and there's a
Speaker 1: bit of a mysterious global catastrophe, and so George is
Speaker 1: going to try to stop the astronauts from returning home
Speaker 1: to it. So it's it's it's you know what if
Speaker 1: you don't have anything else to watch, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's like less than two hours. But one thing I
Speaker 1: do want to say, because I've been dying to say this,
Speaker 1: and it's apropos of nothing. But it's why I brought
Speaker 1: up Tom Cruise, you know, he was his rants were
Speaker 1: on the set of Mission Impossible. You know what we're
Speaker 1: calling it now, Yeah, bitch and impossible. I love that,
Speaker 1: And on that, thank you, Nancy Jay brilliant Bitch and Impossible,
Speaker 1: the Newtim Cruise film. Well done, my friend, Well done,
Speaker 1: and here's to a wonderful, much needed new year. My
Speaker 1: dear friend, Mike, Thank you, Nancy. We'll talk again soon
Speaker 1: about the movies and I need to take a break.
Speaker 1: But when we get back, you know what we haven't done.
Speaker 1: We haven't played the Trump Train today, and we may
Speaker 1: not have too many more opportunities to do so, so
Speaker 1: let's line up the Trump Train and we'll wrap up
Speaker 1: with any final thoughts for the evening. Michael Pelca in
Speaker 1: for Buck on the Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening
Speaker 1: to The bus Sexton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca sitting
Speaker 1: in for Buck today Tomorrow Wednesday. We'll basically wrap up
Speaker 1: twenty twenty here with you, and we'll go over some
Speaker 1: of the craziest stuff we saw this year, some of
Speaker 1: the dumbest things we saw this year, and maybe some
Speaker 1: hopeful indicators for twenty twenty one. I mentioned that we
Speaker 1: may not have that many opportunities to play the Trump
Speaker 1: Train again. The parody song we created before Trump was elected,
Speaker 1: and we've kept it alive, so let's give it another spin.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, Climb on board train. Rumin cha it
Speaker 1: really is a disgrace. It's called the COVID Relief Bill,
Speaker 1: but it has almost nothing to do with nine hundred
Speaker 1: billion dollar package provides hard working taxpayers with only six
Speaker 1: hundred dollars each in relief famis and not enough money
Speaker 1: is given to small business. I am asking Congress to
Speaker 1: amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low six hundred
Speaker 1: dollars to two thousand dollars or four thousand dollars for
Speaker 1: a couple. Sh sh man, I'm gonna miss that song.
Speaker 1: If we have to retire it, we will. But I
Speaker 1: tell all of my Democrat friends who are gloating about
Speaker 1: what appears to be a Biden victory, I said, would
Speaker 1: you rather have Donald Trump for four more years or
Speaker 1: eight more years? And their eyes cross and glaze over,
Speaker 1: and they say, well, well, well, what do you mean
Speaker 1: eight more years? I said, well, if Joe Biden ends
Speaker 1: up being the president, Donald Trump isn't going away. In fact,
Speaker 1: he'll probably be a louder voice than he is right now,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to deal with that for four years,
Speaker 1: and then he'll be back and probably be reelected as
Speaker 1: long as you guys haven't screwed up the voting system
Speaker 1: the way you did this year. And yes, I do
Speaker 1: believe this election is fraudulent if they don't straighten it out.
Speaker 1: So just my opinion, you can have Donald Trump for
Speaker 1: four more years or you can have him for eight
Speaker 1: more years. The choice is yours Democrats. And you know what,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's just not going to be as much fun
Speaker 1: as Donald Trump. Aside from the fact that we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to fight off the socialism, he just doesn't deliver
Speaker 1: the sound bites unless they're embarrassing, like when he answered
Speaker 1: Peter Doocey the other day, man a horse pony, you're
Speaker 1: a one horse pony. We all know he meant one
Speaker 1: trick pony. But the wires don't seem to connect upstairs
Speaker 1: in Joe's head. And now he's starting to tell the
Speaker 1: quiet part out loud. Joe is starting to tell his
Speaker 1: supporter is that he's not going to be able to
Speaker 1: live up to his campaign promises like the one on immigration.
Speaker 1: The last thing we need is to say we're going
Speaker 1: to stop immediately, you know, the access to asylum the
Speaker 1: way he's been run now and end up with two
Speaker 1: million people on our border. It will get done. And
Speaker 1: it will get done quickly, but it's not going to
Speaker 1: be able to be done on day one. Yeah, it'll
Speaker 1: get done quickly, says the guy who was in Washington
Speaker 1: for forty seven years and really didn't get anything done anything.
Speaker 1: And Biden's also said the quiet part out loud when
Speaker 1: he told people he wasn't going to be able to
Speaker 1: waive his executive Order Penn and just wipe away fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in student loans per student. He said he
Speaker 1: can't do that. That's going to be a problem. Two
Speaker 1: of the biggest campaign promises made by Joe Biden and
Speaker 1: the Democrats dealt with student loans being forgiven and immigration.
Speaker 1: And he's not even sworn in and he's already walking
Speaker 1: away from those, backing away from those. It's going to
Speaker 1: be very interesting to see just how these people are
Speaker 1: going to be able to govern if they can't live
Speaker 1: up to their campaign promises. And what he think's going
Speaker 1: to happen in twenty twenty two, it's going to be
Speaker 1: a Bloodbeth for Democrats. We'll get into all that this week.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton, Thank you for being here. Tonight,
Speaker 1: we'll do it again. Tomorrow night. Till then, test studo,
Speaker 1: my friends, Test studo. You're in the Freedom Hut. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast
