Speaker 1: The following is a prerecorded program. This is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show where the mission mission is to decode what
Speaker 1: really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake America, You're
Speaker 1: a great American Again, the Buck Sexton Show begins, He's
Speaker 1: a great guy. No, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Friday and
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show with Michael Pelka sitting in for
Speaker 1: my friend Buck Sex. Then happy to be here. One
Speaker 1: more not as we kick off the Labor Day weekend
Speaker 1: end of summer. Really, the beginning of the fall season
Speaker 1: used to be the fall football season, the fall TV season,
Speaker 1: the fall everything season. But now no, there is no
Speaker 1: more fall TV season. It used to be when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, all the news shows started the same
Speaker 1: week it went back to school. And now all of
Speaker 1: the streaming and television on demand has changed that. And
Speaker 1: we don't know if we're gonna have a football season.
Speaker 1: We don't know. We don't know, we don't know. Although
Speaker 1: the Lancet, the British Journal of Medicine, came out today
Speaker 1: and said that the Russian vaccine, the Russian vaccine that
Speaker 1: we believe skipped a whole bunch of steps, is safe
Speaker 1: and effective. You first that's all I'm gonna say you. First,
Speaker 1: we have a busy night tonight. We have many, many
Speaker 1: things planned for you tonight. Since it's a Friday, it's
Speaker 1: a little bit lighter in tone. Of course, we will
Speaker 1: cover the news and the big news of the day.
Speaker 1: And I really think it's the big news from yesterday
Speaker 1: that bs that Bravo Sierra that was dropped from the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: the story that claims Donald Trump I gets so upset
Speaker 1: at these people, and they are unsubstantiated. Anonymous Anonymous reports
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump skipped ceremonies in France at cemeteries where
Speaker 1: American heroes were buried American Marines, heroes of World War
Speaker 1: One were buried, because he believed them to be losers
Speaker 1: and suckers. Now, this story broke as the President was
Speaker 1: traveling to Latrolle, Pennsylvania last night for a fantastic rally.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he tuned into it. It was
Speaker 1: a vintage Donald Trump, very glib Donald Trump. But as
Speaker 1: this story breaks, you know, it's filtering through all the
Speaker 1: news media and the commentary is swirling and just all
Speaker 1: of those jack wagons are out there slapping the president
Speaker 1: and it was off. It was absolutely awful. So I
Speaker 1: went through the President's reaction and the President's reaction when
Speaker 1: he arrived back at Joint Base Andrews when Air Force
Speaker 1: one landed there and he's about to jump on marine
Speaker 1: want to get back to the White House. It was
Speaker 1: late last night. The President arrives and the cameras are there,
Speaker 1: and he reacted and gave a fairly unfiltered response. And
Speaker 1: I think it deserves the airtime here. So we need
Speaker 1: to go over some of the things Donald Trump said
Speaker 1: last night when he arrived back at Joint Bays Andrews,
Speaker 1: and there was not a prepared statement. This was Donald
Speaker 1: Trump speaking from his heart about the Atlantic article. And
Speaker 1: I think it's, as I said, worth going through here.
Speaker 1: He is General Keith Kellogg, who was a highly respected man,
Speaker 1: couldn't believe when he heard it, and he knows everything
Speaker 1: about all of it. And to think that I would
Speaker 1: make statements negative to our military and our fallen heroes
Speaker 1: when nobody's done what I've done with the budgets, with
Speaker 1: the military budgets, with getting pay raises for our military.
Speaker 1: It is a disgraceful situation by a magazine that said
Speaker 1: terrible magazine. I don't read it, but I just heard
Speaker 1: about it. They made it up. Had probably it's a
Speaker 1: couple of people that have been failures in the administration
Speaker 1: that I got rid of and I couldn't get rid
Speaker 1: of them fast enough, but or was just made up.
Speaker 1: But it's unthinkable. As far as John McCain is concerned,
Speaker 1: I was never a fan, and I will admit that openly.
Speaker 1: I disagreed with him in the Endless Wars. I disagreed
Speaker 1: with him with the respect to the vets and the
Speaker 1: taking care of the VA. I wanted to do it
Speaker 1: a much different way, and I think it's proven to
Speaker 1: be a much more success whole way when you look
Speaker 1: at the success we've had. So Donald Trump speaking here,
Speaker 1: this should actually scare the crap out of everybody on
Speaker 1: Team Biden. This is Donald Trump showing that he's ready
Speaker 1: to take on Joe Biden on a debate stage. He's
Speaker 1: ready to shoot down your argument as he did. He's
Speaker 1: ready to make a prime of facial case in his
Speaker 1: own defense talking about General Kellogg, basically daring you to
Speaker 1: talk to General Kellogg, and he brings them up again
Speaker 1: a little bit later, he addresses some of the negatives
Speaker 1: that have been out there he said, look, John McKinnon,
Speaker 1: I didn't get along. We disagreed, but I respected him,
Speaker 1: and he goes on to talk more about John McCain
Speaker 1: and John McCain's funeral. Again, this is President Trump last night.
Speaker 1: It was right after this show ended, and the President
Speaker 1: arrived at Joint Bass Andrews, and he is defending himself
Speaker 1: brilliantly so against this Bravo Sierra article from Atlantic, the
Speaker 1: VA and with our vets, with choice and with accountability,
Speaker 1: all the things I've got. So I disagreed with John McCain,
Speaker 1: but I still respected him, and I had to approve
Speaker 1: his funeral. As president, we lowered the flags. I had
Speaker 1: to approve that. Nobody else I had to approve it.
Speaker 1: When you think, and I'm just thinking back, I had
Speaker 1: to approve either Air Force one or a military plane
Speaker 1: to go to Arizona to pick up his casket, and
Speaker 1: I approved it immediately. I had to approve the funeral
Speaker 1: because he had a first class triple a funeral that
Speaker 1: lasted for nine days. By the way, I had to
Speaker 1: approve it. All of that had to be approved by
Speaker 1: the President. Improved it without hesitation, without complaint, and I
Speaker 1: felt he deserved it. I disagreed with him on things
Speaker 1: that he was a tough guy, but I felt he
Speaker 1: deserved it. For somebody to say the things that they
Speaker 1: say I said is a total eye it's fake news.
Speaker 1: It's a disgrace, and frankly, it's a disgrace to your profession.
Speaker 1: Now now I'm going to let him continue, But I
Speaker 1: like the way the President comes out and admits that
Speaker 1: he and McCain weren't friends, but he also says he
Speaker 1: respected him. And the McCain's side of the GOP party
Speaker 1: is never going to accept that. But I think that's
Speaker 1: done Trump's heart, coming out there beautifully telling the truth.
Speaker 1: Now let's let him go through the incident, the allegation
Speaker 1: that he skipped a military ceremony, and there are a
Speaker 1: couple of different things floating around out there, as well
Speaker 1: as people who are now refuting this claim from the Atlantic,
Speaker 1: anonymous sourced claim from the Atlantic, and people were saying,
Speaker 1: I was there. None of that happened. None of the
Speaker 1: charges that the Atlantic made actually happened. I'll let the
Speaker 1: president continue, though of that being said, you'll speak to
Speaker 1: Keith kell Out, You'll speak to other people, because many
Speaker 1: people knew let me just go into the if I
Speaker 1: might into the trip to Europe and to France. So
Speaker 1: here's what happened. The President was staying in Paris. There
Speaker 1: were a couple of events scheduled to mark D Day
Speaker 1: two years ago. Remember two years ago? And why is
Speaker 1: this coming out now? If people were upset about it
Speaker 1: back then. I'll tell you why. We're sixty days away
Speaker 1: from the election. But let's let the president tell his
Speaker 1: story of what happened. I was ready to go to
Speaker 1: a ceremony. I had two of them. One the following day.
Speaker 1: It was pouring and I went to that, but the
Speaker 1: helicopter could not fly. The reason it couldn't fly because
Speaker 1: it was raining about as hard as I've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and on top of that, it was very very foggy,
Speaker 1: and the helicopter was unable to fly. It was a
Speaker 1: fairly long helicopter flight, but it was a very long drive.
Speaker 1: In order for me to go, we would have had
Speaker 1: to leave immediately and go through very busy areas of
Speaker 1: I guess Paris, but a very very heavily traveled area,
Speaker 1: a big city, I think it was Paris. And the
Speaker 1: Secret Service told me, you can't do it. I said,
Speaker 1: I have to do it. I want to be there.
Speaker 1: They said, you can't do it. We'll get you confirmation
Speaker 1: of this. They said, for you to do that and
Speaker 1: make that trip, not by helicopter flying over everything. We
Speaker 1: have to work with the police. We have to work
Speaker 1: with everything. And I think you'll find on record in
Speaker 1: the police force in the areas that we're talking about,
Speaker 1: areas of Paris that we're talking about. I think you'll
Speaker 1: find on record requests and we actually have secret service
Speaker 1: that I'm going to ask to give you details. They
Speaker 1: said you can't do it. It was two and a
Speaker 1: half hours or two hours of driving. Was a long drive.
Speaker 1: They said you can't do it. So that's accurate. If
Speaker 1: you're in Paris and you're needing to drive an hour
Speaker 1: plus outside of Paris and you're visiting dignitary, the road
Speaker 1: needs to be cleared and France doesn't want an international
Speaker 1: incident with somebody attacking the motorcade of the president. You
Speaker 1: couldn't make it happen that quickly. It all has to
Speaker 1: be laid out and vetted, cleared, all of that days
Speaker 1: in advance. So that makes sense. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1: So I said, no, I want to do it. They said,
Speaker 1: you can. There was no way I would have been
Speaker 1: able to do it, and they would never have been
Speaker 1: able to get the police and everybody else in line
Speaker 1: to have a president go through a very crowded, very
Speaker 1: congested area. So I went and I called home. I
Speaker 1: spoke to my wife. I said, I hate this. I
Speaker 1: came here to go to that ceremony, and to the
Speaker 1: one that was the following day, which I did go to.
Speaker 1: I said, I feel terribly, and that was the end
Speaker 1: of it. Now, all of a sudden, somebody makes up
Speaker 1: this horrible story that I didn't want to go, and
Speaker 1: then they make up an even worse story and even sorry,
Speaker 1: calling certain names to our fallen heroes. It's a disgrace
Speaker 1: that a magazine is able to write it, and anybody
Speaker 1: that if they really exists, if people really exist, they
Speaker 1: would have said that their low lives and their liars,
Speaker 1: and that story that the President just gave you all
Speaker 1: the details on would have been out years ago if
Speaker 1: it were appeared as or if it happened as appeared
Speaker 1: in Atlantic magazine. There's no when hell that story would
Speaker 1: have stayed hidden or stayed quiet for a week, much
Speaker 1: less two years. So why now, Why today. Why sixty
Speaker 1: days before the election is this happening. The people at
Speaker 1: the Cook Political Report and I have sat across from
Speaker 1: Charlie Cook on the Amtrak train and had a very
Speaker 1: interesting and congenial conversation with mister Cook about the work
Speaker 1: that his group does. The Cook Political Report has new
Speaker 1: data on Donald Trump, new polling data on Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and how he is faring with people of color, and
Speaker 1: it's going to scare the crap out of the Democrats
Speaker 1: and the Biden crew. I'll share it with you just
Speaker 1: around the corner. Michael Pelka in for my buddy Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton on a Friday night on the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: You're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael
Speaker 1: Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton as we
Speaker 1: kick off the Labor Day weekend. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of you are just going to kick back this weekend,
Speaker 1: and that's good, and we're kind of taking a kickback
Speaker 1: approach on the show tonight. I am covering some serious
Speaker 1: stuff just around the corner as we're going to dive
Speaker 1: into the latest on what's happening in China or with China.
Speaker 1: As I mentioned last night, their military growth disturbs me
Speaker 1: and I want to know what's going on with North
Speaker 1: Korea and Kim Jong un. So we've got Gordon Chang
Speaker 1: on tap, and we'll get with Gordon shortly, but we
Speaker 1: are also going to dive into some areas of art
Speaker 1: and entertainment. I need to know about this Disney movie
Speaker 1: Mulan that is coming out and it looks like Crouching
Speaker 1: Tie Your Hidden Dragon. We'll talk to a friend of
Speaker 1: mine who was a critic, and my buddy Billy halliwell
Speaker 1: from my days of the Blaze, has a new book
Speaker 1: coming out and I want to talk to Billy as well.
Speaker 1: So we'll delve into everything that we can in the
Speaker 1: news and also broaden our spectrum just to touch. When
Speaker 1: we went away, I had been talking about Donald Trump
Speaker 1: and how the left is getting concerned over Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: mostly because Biden's lead in the polls is falling away,
Speaker 1: slipping away, if you will. And yesterday on Morning Joe,
Speaker 1: we saw an expert from the Cook Political Report who
Speaker 1: was going over their data about the polling. And while
Speaker 1: there is still a gap between the President and Biden supporters,
Speaker 1: the president supporters and Biden supporters in a lot of
Speaker 1: suburban America. There is a shocking number that has got
Speaker 1: to be very worrisome for the members of the Biden team,
Speaker 1: very very worrisome. Even as we're seeing some of that
Speaker 1: suburban support for Biden road because of the riots and
Speaker 1: the law and order problem that the Democrats have, this one,
Speaker 1: I think is even more troublesome. This was Cook Political
Speaker 1: Report editor David Wasserman Thursday on Morning Joe. But the
Speaker 1: silver lining for Donald Trump here is that he's doing
Speaker 1: better with non whites than he was doing in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: He's winning on average nine percent of the black vote
Speaker 1: in these polls compared to five percent in his pre
Speaker 1: election polls in twenty sixteen. And in the Hispanic vote,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has had fifty six to thirty one the
Speaker 1: final average poles in twenty sixteen, Hillary Clinton was up
Speaker 1: sixty one to twenty three. So that's a pretty decent
Speaker 1: number for Trump among Hispanics that I think is attributable
Speaker 1: to traditional Republican Hispanic voters, including potentially Cubans, coming back
Speaker 1: into the Republican fold, at least in Florida. What seems
Speaker 1: to be offsetting that for now is Joe Biden's strong
Speaker 1: performance among white seniors, which also helps him in Arizona.
Speaker 1: So we know Arizona is a state that the GOP
Speaker 1: needs to win and Donald Trump is going to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time there. And we know Florida is
Speaker 1: a state the president needs to win, and he has
Speaker 1: some issues with the senior votes. Although I'm one of
Speaker 1: the people who believes that there are a lot of
Speaker 1: folks who are either not being contacted or who are
Speaker 1: being quiet when a poster calls them. I have neighbors
Speaker 1: who are like minded neighbors who are Trump's supporters, and
Speaker 1: when the posters call, they tell them they're voting for Biden.
Speaker 1: There are people who just don't want to tell the truth.
Speaker 1: But what's really interesting there, and this is from the
Speaker 1: Cook Political Report, these people are actually solid posters. In
Speaker 1: the Cook Political Report, they are saying that among black voters,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump pulling at nine percent right now versus five
Speaker 1: percent in twenty sixteen. That's a big deal. And in
Speaker 1: Hispanic voters, Biden's at fifty six Trump's at thirty one. Well,
Speaker 1: if we go back four years ago, Hispanic voters, Hillary
Speaker 1: had sixty one percent it's five more percentage points than
Speaker 1: Biden and Donald Trump at thirty one, he's exceeding what
Speaker 1: he did against Hillary by eight percentage points. Now you
Speaker 1: know why the Democrats are being very, very focused on
Speaker 1: making sure they play to the Black Bay. Now you
Speaker 1: know why Donald Trump is going to be attacked as
Speaker 1: a racist and it's going to get ramped up going forward.
Speaker 1: Let's let's not make any mistake about it. The attacks
Speaker 1: against Donald Trump, like we saw yesterday with this, uh,
Speaker 1: this story that's crumbling out of the Atlantic, which claims
Speaker 1: the president mocked dead American soldiers buried in France. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that whole story has just fallen apart his Bravo Sierra. Well,
Speaker 1: the attacks are going to be more vicious every single day.
Speaker 1: So it's like I tell everybody, buckle up. We're in
Speaker 1: for sixty days of a very bumpy ride. All right,
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca with you. When we get back, Let's talk
Speaker 1: to Gordon Chang if we can about China and what
Speaker 1: the heck is going on in China. Something's happening. We'll
Speaker 1: get to it next on The buck Sexton June. Thanks
Speaker 1: for listening to the past. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast.
Speaker 1: The iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. He's
Speaker 1: back with you now because when it comes to the
Speaker 1: fight for truth, the fuck never stops. It's Michael Pelca,
Speaker 1: the Godfather, back filling it for Buck one more night
Speaker 1: here on the Buck Suxston Show, and thrilled to be here,
Speaker 1: as I have said, waiting on our friend Gordon Chang
Speaker 1: to join us. Gordon is probably the best expert in
Speaker 1: the whole world on China and the entire Asian Peninsula
Speaker 1: and what the heck is going on. And I've noticed
Speaker 1: a couple of stories about China and China's navy, China's
Speaker 1: military at Chinese nuclear ambitions, and I have to ask
Speaker 1: Gordon about it because he will know. He'll also know
Speaker 1: if there's anything going on with Kim Jong un. We
Speaker 1: have been hearing four weeks now that he's either dead
Speaker 1: or in a coma or he's fine. So what is
Speaker 1: it and we'll see if we know anything. Gordon is
Speaker 1: the guy and you should follow him on Twitter. Gordon
Speaker 1: g Chang on Twitter. I also am fascinated by this
Speaker 1: story out of New York. The most ridiculous story of
Speaker 1: the day today comes out of New York about an
Speaker 1: African historian at George Washington University, so the story is
Speaker 1: not necessarily out of New York. She's an associate professor
Speaker 1: at George Washington University, but she is a New Yorker
Speaker 1: who calls herself a cultural leech, a culture she's white,
Speaker 1: and she says, quote, for the better part of my
Speaker 1: adult life, every move I've made, every relationship I've formed,
Speaker 1: has been rooted in the napalm toxic soil of lies.
Speaker 1: If Oprah had a show, this lady would be on
Speaker 1: the show. She posted this admission on the Medium. On
Speaker 1: the medium website. She's thirty eight years old, and she
Speaker 1: is a self proclaimed historian of politics, ideas, and cultural
Speaker 1: practices in African and the African diaspora. And she goes
Speaker 1: into this lengthy detail of her public deception. She's pretended
Speaker 1: to be black. She's the new Rachel Dulazl, and Rachel
Speaker 1: Dlazol really didn't have to pay any price for her
Speaker 1: faking that she's black. She's Dulasol, if you remember, rose
Speaker 1: to being a head of an NAACP organization, and she
Speaker 1: was completely white, two white parents, and she denied that
Speaker 1: she was white. Well, this lady Jessica Krug admitted it
Speaker 1: on Thursday, and people are saying the admission only came
Speaker 1: because she had been caught that she had been outed
Speaker 1: after publicly identifying herself as a black woman when she
Speaker 1: is in fact white, and she even affected the speech
Speaker 1: patterns of what one might consider to be an African
Speaker 1: American woman. There is a post up on the I
Speaker 1: think the Daily Mail has this post of her prattling
Speaker 1: on I also want to call out all these white
Speaker 1: New Yorkers who waited four hours with us to be
Speaker 1: able to speak, and that did not yield their time
Speaker 1: to black and brown indigenous New Yorkers. So she's at
Speaker 1: an event where people are going to speak about I
Speaker 1: think it's gentrification in the community, and she is claiming
Speaker 1: that she is among the people of color, and she's
Speaker 1: calling out the white people who didn't surrender their time,
Speaker 1: when she, in fact is a white person. So she
Speaker 1: is culturally appropriating and effectively stealing the time from the
Speaker 1: people of color. But she continues, who thought that their
Speaker 1: sense of I thought cops was here to protect us,
Speaker 1: but I guess they're not. Boy, you think that this
Speaker 1: sort of like shock and empathy thing is the move oh,
Speaker 1: so a couple of things you was talking about. Chair.
Speaker 1: You was talking about moving against the gang database. What's
Speaker 1: up with that? Because last I checked, that's still operating.
Speaker 1: Last I checked, that's still up. You talk about us
Speaker 1: to show up, Ben shown up and all these neighborhood
Speaker 1: council meetings trying to fight gentrification. Ain't nothing change? And
Speaker 1: that real quick. I want to talk about some of
Speaker 1: my experiences in the Bronx on Thursday. So you know,
Speaker 1: y'all heard from a few people who were there, and
Speaker 1: thank you much power to all my siblings who were
Speaker 1: standing up, my black and brown siblings who were standing
Speaker 1: So if I were to show up in a predominantly
Speaker 1: black neighborhood and pretend to be black, do you think
Speaker 1: I would be accepted? I don't think so. This story,
Speaker 1: The Daily News and the New York Posts have this story.
Speaker 1: This is something else. An associated professor at George Washington
Speaker 1: University admitted, despite publicly identifying for years now as a
Speaker 1: black woman, that she is a white woman. Unbelievable. Unbelievable,
Speaker 1: she said, quote to an escalating degree. Over my adult life,
Speaker 1: I have eschewed my lived experience as a white Jewish
Speaker 1: child in suburban Kansas City, under various assumed identities within
Speaker 1: a blackness that I had no right to claim. M
Speaker 1: I wonder if that post that she had at George
Speaker 1: Washington University. I wonder if that post could have been
Speaker 1: said to have been stolen by this woman. For Remember
Speaker 1: we talked about Pocahontas, We talked about Elizabeth Warren and
Speaker 1: her fake Native American self, and she identified listed herself
Speaker 1: as a minority. And I wonder if this woman's identifying
Speaker 1: as an African American woman for so many years precluded
Speaker 1: someone else from getting a job. I'm just throwing that
Speaker 1: out there. But you know what, this is the twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: this whole last decade where we say whatever you want
Speaker 1: to be. You can be Sean King, you can say
Speaker 1: you're you're the leader of a black movement when you
Speaker 1: are purely white, Rachel Dalisal, you can say that you
Speaker 1: are a black woman and rise to the level of
Speaker 1: a head of an NAACP chapter. And now Jessica Krueg,
Speaker 1: a Midwestern born white girl of Jewish parents white parents,
Speaker 1: has now lived her life as an African American for years.
Speaker 1: Only when she got caught did she come you know,
Speaker 1: if Oprah were around, she'd have this woman on today
Speaker 1: and have her tell her story and there'll be a
Speaker 1: book and probably a movie. I have to take a break.
Speaker 1: When we get back, Gordon Chang'll be here and we'll
Speaker 1: check out what's happening in the Asian Peninsula next on
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus
Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcasts, the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, yesterday
Speaker 1: I mentioned it briefly, very briefly, there was a news
Speaker 1: item that I don't think got enough attention. It certainly
Speaker 1: didn't get as much attention as Nancy Pelosi's visit to
Speaker 1: a hair salon, and it should have in my opinion.
Speaker 1: And that was the news that China, from all accounts,
Speaker 1: now has the world's largest navy, and that should matter,
Speaker 1: and that should be something people should be aware of.
Speaker 1: And maybe they're also thinking about building more nuclear weapons
Speaker 1: and things like that. So to get a handle on things,
Speaker 1: I reached out to our friend Gordon Chang, the guy
Speaker 1: you should actually be following on Twitter. Gordon GI Chang
Speaker 1: is his Twitter handle Gordon g Chang, and Gordon is
Speaker 1: joining us to illuminate the topic and to help us
Speaker 1: understand it better. Hey Gordon, how are you doing, my friend.
Speaker 1: I'm fine, Mike, and thank you so much. I'm glad
Speaker 1: you're here. In two thousand and nine, I was invited
Speaker 1: to what they call the Biennial Review of our Military strength,
Speaker 1: and it was a briefing by the Undersecretary of the Navy,
Speaker 1: and at that time, in two thousand and nine, he
Speaker 1: told a group of about forty members of the media
Speaker 1: that they believe China was working at a feverish pace
Speaker 1: to create a whole fleet of really fast strike boats
Speaker 1: and then an uncountable number of submarines that we should
Speaker 1: be very worried about. Now fast forward eleven years later
Speaker 1: and we have this report. China may have accomplished what
Speaker 1: they set out to do, and that's to become the
Speaker 1: world's biggest navy. Do you have any confirmation of any
Speaker 1: of this intel, Well, it's China certainly does have the
Speaker 1: biggest navy. They may not have the most capable navy
Speaker 1: or the most deadly navy that still ours, but nonetheless
Speaker 1: they've got a larger fleet, and also they've got big
Speaker 1: shipbuilding plans. They're actually building lots of ships, and the
Speaker 1: question is why are they doing this because nobody threatens China.
Speaker 1: China is doing this because it wants to dismember its
Speaker 1: neighbors and want to project power around the world. Because
Speaker 1: Chinese leader Cijimping believes that China is the world's only
Speaker 1: sovereign state. So this is an existential challenge not just
Speaker 1: to the United States, not just to every other country,
Speaker 1: but also to the existing international system. So the immediate
Speaker 1: neighborhood is filled with countries who should really be concerned.
Speaker 1: But the idea of behind building a gigantic navy is
Speaker 1: to also have those ships assigned to different places around
Speaker 1: the world, not just in their local region. Well, certainly,
Speaker 1: China is building a container port in Freeport in the
Speaker 1: Bahamas that's about ninety miles east of Palm Beach. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that the Chinese Navy intends to pull into Freeport,
Speaker 1: which means they're going to be very close to Florida. Ah,
Speaker 1: that's a little concerning. I remember, I don't know, back
Speaker 1: in the early sixties, when the Soviets had a bunch
Speaker 1: of ships in Cuba, about ninety miles away from Miami,
Speaker 1: we got a little tents with them, and things got
Speaker 1: very tense until President Kennedy managed to talk Russia out
Speaker 1: of doing what they were doing. Are we about to
Speaker 1: face another missiles of October situation with China? Well we
Speaker 1: could very well, Mike. I don't think it'll be in
Speaker 1: the Bahamas anytime soon, but nonetheless someplace else around the world. Yes,
Speaker 1: because it's got to remember that China is challenging the
Speaker 1: Navy in the global commons and as well as our
Speaker 1: Air Force in these incidents where China manufacturers dangerous intercepts.
Speaker 1: So who knows the law of averages actually says that
Speaker 1: one of these incidents will go wrong. We have to
Speaker 1: go back to April first, two thousand and one to
Speaker 1: remember the EP three crisis in the South China Sea,
Speaker 1: where a Chinese jet clipped a US Navy reconnaissance plane.
Speaker 1: They held the crew for about eleven days and demanded
Speaker 1: a ransom. They stripped the plane. This was a violation
Speaker 1: of American sovereignty. This was actually an act of war.
Speaker 1: The administration of George W. Bush just let it pass.
Speaker 1: But that was a big mistake. Well, they harvested not
Speaker 1: only a little bit of our dignity on that, but
Speaker 1: they also probably got a lot of technology off that
Speaker 1: plane when they stripped it. I would imagine certainly they did,
Speaker 1: There's no question about it. Now, the crew did manage
Speaker 1: to throw some of the sensitive equipment out of the
Speaker 1: plane before it landed, but nonetheless China did strip the plane,
Speaker 1: so maddening. We're talking with Gordon Chang. He is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite people to follow and read on things
Speaker 1: that are going on in Asia. We follow what's happening
Speaker 1: in China and of course in North Korea as it
Speaker 1: relates to the stability or lack thereof in the region. Gordon,
Speaker 1: as we talk about China, I'll get to North Creek
Speaker 1: as I'm curious about Kim. As we talk about China.
Speaker 1: For the last five or six years, we've been hearing
Speaker 1: the China is building islands in the South China Sea,
Speaker 1: and these islands are actually bases. Those ships that we're
Speaker 1: hearing about, I'm sure they're spending time at those little
Speaker 1: island slash bases. Do we have any idea how many
Speaker 1: of those are out there? It's about I think seven
Speaker 1: of those reclaimed islands. This is in the Spratley Chain,
Speaker 1: which is in the southern portion of the South China Sea,
Speaker 1: and we should remember that in September twenty fifteen, Siejunking,
Speaker 1: the Chinese ruler actually from the Rose Garden, promised not
Speaker 1: to militarize those islands. Well, China since then has done so,
Speaker 1: and that is changes facts on the ground. But there's
Speaker 1: also we have to go back even earlier. Early two
Speaker 1: thou twelve, China took Scarborough Shoal from the Philippines. That
Speaker 1: was after the Obama administration broke her a deal for
Speaker 1: China to withdraw. The Obama administration did not enforce that deal,
Speaker 1: and it was right after that that China realized it
Speaker 1: had a green light for aggression. So that's when they
Speaker 1: started to reclaim those features in the spratleys. It's so
Speaker 1: irritating to me when we say we're going to stand
Speaker 1: up for something and we don't, And that's just a
Speaker 1: signal to China, do whatever you want. We're good. You
Speaker 1: just take care of yourselves, will be fine. Before we
Speaker 1: get out of China. Gordon the virus and the vaccine
Speaker 1: and the world battle to try and defeat this COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four virus as I call it. China has
Speaker 1: said they're making inroads we believe we are close, like
Speaker 1: within months of actually having a safe and effective vaccine.
Speaker 1: Is China going to well that we know they're to
Speaker 1: try and use it around the world as as candy
Speaker 1: political candy. Do you know how close they might be?
Speaker 1: Have you heard anything? Well, China, if you listen to it,
Speaker 1: they're basically on the spurge of distributing a vaccine. Now.
Speaker 1: I think that they skipped a lot of interim steps,
Speaker 1: as did the Russians. Because the Russians say that they
Speaker 1: now actually do have a vaccine. This is our version
Speaker 1: of the space race, and we're racing to this. From
Speaker 1: our point of view, they may have a vaccine basically
Speaker 1: November or December in our country, but nonetheless we're going
Speaker 1: to be months behind the Chinese. Is that because they
Speaker 1: held on to the DNA of the virus for so long, Well,
Speaker 1: that's part of the reason. Also, because the virus first
Speaker 1: started in China, they got a headstart on everybody, so
Speaker 1: that means that they had this built in advantage. All right,
Speaker 1: before I let you go, and I appreciate all of
Speaker 1: the information you share with us, Gordon Chang. We've been
Speaker 1: hearing for the last several weeks that Kim Jong un
Speaker 1: is either alive but in a coma, or Dad or
Speaker 1: his sister's taken over. Do we know anything new about
Speaker 1: North Korea? Well, the answer is there are a lot
Speaker 1: of rumors, but we don't have confirmation of them. I
Speaker 1: actually think, and this is just a guess on my part,
Speaker 1: that Kim is just trying to stay low and keep
Speaker 1: out of the range of the coronavirus which really has
Speaker 1: wracked North Korea. His sister seems to have gotten some
Speaker 1: additional powers. There are some rumors that she has been
Speaker 1: made head of the Organization and Guidance Department of the
Speaker 1: Korean Workers Party. That's the power behind the throne. If
Speaker 1: that's indeed true that rumor, then she is well placed
Speaker 1: to succeed her brother should he actually do have medical
Speaker 1: problems that are fatal. I don't quite think she's and
Speaker 1: given that much power because that would make her his successor.
Speaker 1: But we do know things are happening, Mike, It's just
Speaker 1: that we can't confirm. All of this is frustrating to me,
Speaker 1: and as we deal with everything else, and as we
Speaker 1: have an election coming up, all this stuff, but I'm
Speaker 1: glad you're keeping an eye on it. His name is
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, and I encourage you go to Twitter and
Speaker 1: you should be on Twitter and follow him at Gordon
Speaker 1: GI Chang at Gordon g Chang. Thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: Oh well, thank you so much, Mike. These days, being
Speaker 1: prepared for the unknown is more important than ever. And
Speaker 1: I'm sure you've noticed. The world we live in today
Speaker 1: is anything but predictable, and we can all benefit from
Speaker 1: something reliable. Right about now, Well, what can be more
Speaker 1: reliable than real gold and silver. I'm talking about real
Speaker 1: gold and silver that you can hold in your hands.
Speaker 1: Call the Oxford Gold Group right now and learn how
Speaker 1: easy it is to get real gold and silver sent
Speaker 1: securely directly to your home, or how you can have
Speaker 1: real gold and silver placed in your IRA or four
Speaker 1: oh one k. Just call the Oxford Gold Group at
Speaker 1: eight three three six hundred Gold. Ask for your free
Speaker 1: guide to owning gold and silver. Again, call the Oxford
Speaker 1: Gold Group right now at eight three three six hundred Gold.
Speaker 1: The Oxford Gold Group is the only gold company that
Speaker 1: I trust. Call them right now eight three three six
Speaker 1: hundred Gold. One more time. That's eight three three six
Speaker 1: hundred Gold. Check them out. You're in the freedom hunt.
Speaker 1: This is the buck Sexton Show podcast. Buck Sextons decoding
Speaker 1: the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no
Speaker 1: mistake America, your great American Again. This is the bucks
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. It is the second hour of the buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show on this Friday night. Michael Pelka is sitting
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck Sexton once again. We have
Speaker 1: a lot to get to tonight, and there will be
Speaker 1: news and there will be culture tonight. It's Friday night,
Speaker 1: and you know it's a weekend, so we have to
Speaker 1: get into some of the squashy topics of the weekend.
Speaker 1: I want to introduce you to a friend of mine
Speaker 1: who's a movie critic later on. And my buddy Billy
Speaker 1: Hallowell from my Days of the Blaze has a new
Speaker 1: book out and it's about ghosts and exorcisms and demons,
Speaker 1: and so I'm saving it for the last hour. Well,
Speaker 1: we'll get into spooky time on that one. Well we'll
Speaker 1: talk to Billy in just a little bit, but I
Speaker 1: have to get into this story out of Portland. Now.
Speaker 1: This story, it's kind of a wild one, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've seen it. We had the gentleman with the
Speaker 1: Patriot Prayer group who was killed earlier in the week.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember Aaron J. Danielson, thirty
Speaker 1: nine years old. He was shot in the chest last
Speaker 1: Saturday night. He was part of this parade I guess
Speaker 1: into Portland, a pro Trump parade, and he's part of
Speaker 1: a group called Patriot Prayer. Some people say they're a
Speaker 1: radical right wing based on everything we've heard, Jay Danielson
Speaker 1: was not a radical. He may have been a conservative.
Speaker 1: He definitely was a Trump supporter. He was shot at
Speaker 1: point blank range. And the man who was the suspect
Speaker 1: in the shooting was a guy who had I believe
Speaker 1: he had a tattoo on his neck that said one
Speaker 1: hundred percent Antifa and this is a bad dude. The
Speaker 1: guy that they were looking for, forty eight year old man,
Speaker 1: last name of Rheinhold, Michael Reinhol. And yesterday evening Reinhol
Speaker 1: was being surveilled because it appeared he had confessed to
Speaker 1: the killing of Jay Danielson, and he had done so
Speaker 1: via Vice dot Com via a website. So here's the
Speaker 1: Portland's suspect, mister Rhinol, forty eight year old Reinhole, one
Speaker 1: hundred percent Antifa talking to the people from Vice in
Speaker 1: this clip. Lots of lawyers suggest that I shouldn't even
Speaker 1: be saying anything, but I feel it's important that it's
Speaker 1: a world at least gets a little bit of what's
Speaker 1: really going on, because there's been a lot of propaganda
Speaker 1: put out there. I had no choice. I mean I
Speaker 1: had a choice. I couldn't have sat there and watched
Speaker 1: him kill a friend of mine of color. So he's
Speaker 1: claiming that he didn't have a choice but to kill
Speaker 1: Jay Danielson. He didn't have a choice. He basically admitted.
Speaker 1: He pulled the trigger, and police went and found him,
Speaker 1: and they staked out the apartment where he was, and
Speaker 1: a gun battle ensued and he ended up dead. The
Speaker 1: founder of the Patriot Prayer Group explained what happened as well.
Speaker 1: When they started yelling at us, we turned around, and
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't even have time to register that
Speaker 1: somebody was pointing a gun at us before the shots
Speaker 1: went off. Mostly what you see is a white blur.
Speaker 1: Recognized that he was a white guy, And what significantly
Speaker 1: stood out to me is that he was the only
Speaker 1: person downtown that night other than myself wearing a white shirt. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what happened in the killing of Jay Danielson. That's
Speaker 1: the description from a eyewitness, the founder of Patriot Prayer,
Speaker 1: who was right there with Jay on the street when
Speaker 1: the forty eight year old now dead Michael Reinhold reportedly
Speaker 1: put a gun to Jay's chest shot him at point
Speaker 1: blank range. Antifa they are terrorists. They are American terrorists.
Speaker 1: And why aren't we calling them that? They are not
Speaker 1: a pro Trump group out there? They are terrorists. They
Speaker 1: want the destruction of this country. They want everything burned down.
Speaker 1: I think it's a very interesting story. I wonder if
Speaker 1: we'll get the whole story in this, because there's about
Speaker 1: four different tales. One said there was a gun battle
Speaker 1: with fifty shots fired. Another one said, now there weren't
Speaker 1: that many. Another said there were long guns involved. I'm
Speaker 1: sure we will eventually get the entire story, but they
Speaker 1: do know that it sounds to me like a bad
Speaker 1: guy one hundred percent Antifa guy is gone because of
Speaker 1: the good guys law enforcement. Yeah, I'm gonna be pro
Speaker 1: law enforcement every damn day. And I think it's also
Speaker 1: fair for us to tell people just how dangerous it
Speaker 1: is to be a member of law enforcement, especially those
Speaker 1: that have to be out there dealing with all of
Speaker 1: these writers and these protesters, the ones who are not
Speaker 1: wearing masks, etc. Currently in twenty twenty, at least one
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven officers from police departments, sheriff's offices, correctional
Speaker 1: departments around the country have died after contracting the COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty four virus while on the job. And this
Speaker 1: is according to two different law enforcement nonprofit groups that
Speaker 1: have tracked line of duty deaths for years. That's seventy
Speaker 1: six more cops than the thirty four who died from
Speaker 1: shootings this year as of Thursday, seventy six. More So,
Speaker 1: the number one cause of death for police officers in
Speaker 1: America in twenty twenty is COVID. The virus is killing
Speaker 1: more cops than anyone can even imagine. It's a little frightening,
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? It is, And I think we need
Speaker 1: to be a little more supportive, a little more respectful
Speaker 1: of the men and women who get up every day
Speaker 1: and put on a badge and put on a vest
Speaker 1: and carry a gun and run towards the problems while
Speaker 1: other people are running away from it. How about you
Speaker 1: thank a cop today? How about we support law enforcement today,
Speaker 1: and how about we advocate for leaders who will allow
Speaker 1: law enforcement to do their job. I know that's a
Speaker 1: unique concept, isn't it. Speaking of that very concept, I
Speaker 1: was reading a story out of California, although I don't
Speaker 1: think it's unique to California, where some of these liberal,
Speaker 1: leftist district attorneys are telling the cops to use their
Speaker 1: discretion when deciding on whether or not to arrest someone
Speaker 1: and charge them with looting after they may be bashed
Speaker 1: into a store and started stealing stuff. Use your discretion,
Speaker 1: said one California district attorney, and decide whether or not
Speaker 1: the person needed what they were taking. Seriously, we're now
Speaker 1: telling people use your discretion. Did they really need it?
Speaker 1: Maybe they needed it, maybe they didn't could. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: someone's taking TVs and purses and high end sneakers and jewelry.
Speaker 1: It's not something they needed to stay alive. We need
Speaker 1: to be a little more honest with each other on this.
Speaker 1: You know what, are Wendy Patrick, the attorney who was
Speaker 1: here with us last night, She'll understand this. I want
Speaker 1: to understand what prosecute. Prosecutorial discretion is really all about.
Speaker 1: Seize it for you to say, right, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: stepping aside. When we get back, we'll ask Wendy. We'll
Speaker 1: ask our attorney friend Wendy Patrick next on The Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcasts.
Speaker 1: Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, the iHeartRadio app, or
Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. Welcome back, and welcome back
Speaker 1: to our friend Wendy Patrick, our attorney author radio host
Speaker 1: pal who joins us it should be just ask doctor
Speaker 1: Wendy or legal question with Wendy Patrick. I'm glad Wendy
Speaker 1: that none of these questions involved me and how I
Speaker 1: can avoid bail or how I can avoid time behind bars.
Speaker 1: It's all all stuff that appears in the papers that
Speaker 1: I find interesting. And we never catch the smart ones. Mic,
Speaker 1: we never catch the smart ones. I think I think
Speaker 1: I just got a compliment. I'm not sure that's so.
Speaker 1: When you were out in California, what kind of crazy
Speaker 1: charges could be slapped on this guy if they ever
Speaker 1: catch the guy or girl who was in the in
Speaker 1: the jet suit, in the jet pack that was flying
Speaker 1: next to the plane that was like two miles outside
Speaker 1: of it was just outside of Lax Did you did
Speaker 1: you hear this story? Yeah, you know, um, I heard
Speaker 1: a little bit about it, and I just think that
Speaker 1: technology is outpaced the law and a lot of the
Speaker 1: time when we see these crea these stories of people
Speaker 1: flying drones where they shouldn't and violating people's air spaces
Speaker 1: with remote controlled devices and contraptions, we've got to look
Speaker 1: at the laws we have and think what law covers this,
Speaker 1: because when most of the laws were written, we didn't
Speaker 1: have the kind of technological advances that we enjoy at
Speaker 1: the society today. So you know, we have to get
Speaker 1: pretty creative with a lot of this, and sometimes we
Speaker 1: end up with things like trespass or the subbodeals of
Speaker 1: the air space, or voyeurism, or there's just an off
Speaker 1: label use of many different types of laws that lie
Speaker 1: or some of these. But you know, you talk about
Speaker 1: interesting case law. Ten years from now, we'll probably have
Speaker 1: an answer off the top of our head for what
Speaker 1: kind of a statute and act like that violates. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well it was pretty wild. I have the cockpit audio
Speaker 1: from the pilot of this plane talking to the tower. Again,
Speaker 1: he's like two miles from the runway, probably reasonably close
Speaker 1: to the ground for a jet but not reasonably close
Speaker 1: to the ground for a guy in a jet pack suit.
Speaker 1: Here's what it sounded like a ninety So if we
Speaker 1: just passed a guy in a jet pack American nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven. OK, thank you for the let's sign the
Speaker 1: right side, off the side, maybe I would have been
Speaker 1: flipping out. If I'm in my seat and I'm watching
Speaker 1: because i like to watch the planes take off and land,
Speaker 1: I've always got the window over too. If I would
Speaker 1: have seen a guy in a jet pack, I would
Speaker 1: have been like William Shatner on that Twilight Zone episode
Speaker 1: when he was going, there's a man on the wing.
Speaker 1: There's a man on the wing. I tell you what
Speaker 1: a drink? You know, I thought the same thing, because
Speaker 1: this guy was at three thousand feet over Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: This wasn't somebody just sort of putting along barely off
Speaker 1: the ground. Three thousand feet and you know, this is
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that you're right, you almost don't
Speaker 1: believe what you're seeing, and then you start thinking, well,
Speaker 1: what do we charge him with? What do we do
Speaker 1: with him? He's actually out there endangering aircraft by flying around,
Speaker 1: and they are airspace. It's very dangerous to fly so
Speaker 1: close to an airplane, so that is the risk he's running.
Speaker 1: And you wonder whether whether or not we can find
Speaker 1: something criminally, whether there's some civil liability that might life
Speaker 1: or this kind of reckless behavior, and you know, he's
Speaker 1: really I hope he doesn't become some sort of an
Speaker 1: Internet sensation because what we don't want to see is copycats.
Speaker 1: This was a very reckless, dangerous act. But I hate
Speaker 1: to say it, Mike, You and I may be talking
Speaker 1: about it again. Yeah, I'm sure I'm going to do it. Well.
Speaker 1: The interesting thing should be how they will catch him
Speaker 1: because the technology is not widespread there. You can't I
Speaker 1: can't go into Best Buy and pick up a jet
Speaker 1: pack today. But like you said, not yet, we're very
Speaker 1: close to having flying cars. This week, we had Amazon
Speaker 1: get FAA approval for drones to deliver stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: so your toilet apri will come via an Amazon drone
Speaker 1: very soon. So the technologies, remember remember the passages that
Speaker 1: were trapped on the Grand Princess. We're having wine delivered
Speaker 1: via drone, So we do have drone delivery, and I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people don't take advantage of it
Speaker 1: because there's easier ways to get your groceries. But if
Speaker 1: you're in a spot, so this may be the wave
Speaker 1: of the future, but we just don't want to see
Speaker 1: these things flying in areas where they could cause problems
Speaker 1: like this guy. Yeah, and I don't know if this
Speaker 1: guy realizes it. He probably does. The jet wash from
Speaker 1: an airplane could have taken him out. If he got
Speaker 1: into the jet wash from that plane, it probably would
Speaker 1: have flipped him into some sort of deadly tailspin. So
Speaker 1: not exactly the smartest place to be three hundred yards
Speaker 1: three hundred feet away from a passenger jet. I have
Speaker 1: another question, another lead go question. I've been reading a
Speaker 1: lot about the reformation of bail and how these protests
Speaker 1: and looting and the violence, and there have been significant
Speaker 1: arrests in places like Portland and Seattle and Chicago and
Speaker 1: New York, in Austin, Texas, and out in California in
Speaker 1: some places, and we are hearing that some of the
Speaker 1: people who were grabbed up in these events and then
Speaker 1: we're brought in we're pretty much just turned back around.
Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering, do cops if there if a
Speaker 1: police officer comes up and faces somebody and that somebody
Speaker 1: has taken a box of shoes out of a sneaker store.
Speaker 1: Can the cops decide whether or not it warrants their
Speaker 1: time to bring this person in? Is there any discretion
Speaker 1: they have? Yeah, it's a great question. The law enforcement
Speaker 1: agents that run the country and patrol all the areas
Speaker 1: that you always have discretion as to what to do
Speaker 1: with a criminal offender. Now we know that because I'm
Speaker 1: sure they listening has been stuffed for speeding and what
Speaker 1: do we do. Sometimes we tuck our way out of
Speaker 1: the ticket because they have the discretion to give us
Speaker 1: a warning. So too with other types of currents as well.
Speaker 1: So there's always been such a thing as law enforcement discretion.
Speaker 1: What we've seen and what you're citing that in the
Speaker 1: last six months is with the pandemic, and during the
Speaker 1: pandemic and given the restrictions, we actually have seen far
Speaker 1: more discretion being utilized. And that's not just because we
Speaker 1: don't want people coming into a jail setting where there
Speaker 1: might be a heightened risk of catching the virus, but
Speaker 1: it's also because there's been not only law enforcement stretched
Speaker 1: a little thinner, but also an issue with people losing
Speaker 1: their jobs. Now, that doesn't excuse crime and ignorance of
Speaker 1: the laws no defense. Nonetheless, when you talk about having discretion,
Speaker 1: what we have seen is if somebody is stealing baby
Speaker 1: formula to feed a child, they will be treated differently
Speaker 1: no matter where they commit the crime, almost universally than
Speaker 1: somebody's stealing jewelry from a jewelry store. That's always been true.
Speaker 1: We're hearing a lot more about it now because some
Speaker 1: people find themselves in more dire straight. That's why some
Speaker 1: of these cases have gone viral, where police officers have
Speaker 1: stopped shoplifters and then ended up purchasing the merchandise for them. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I go back to the case out of Alabama where
Speaker 1: officer William Stacy was called to a dollar general store
Speaker 1: where a woman was stopped because she was shoplifting five
Speaker 1: eggs and she just was trying to feed a child.
Speaker 1: And when that officer arrived, he decided it was better
Speaker 1: to make the store hole, in other words, to pay
Speaker 1: for the eggs. And then his entire department in this
Speaker 1: tiny town in Alabama decided that the the most judicious thing,
Speaker 1: the most Christian thing they could do, was to get
Speaker 1: food to this woman, and so they filled her refrigerator
Speaker 1: and I remember the news report and the tears rolling
Speaker 1: down her eyes and her saying she's never seen a
Speaker 1: refrigerator in her life with that much food, and you
Speaker 1: realize just how lucky we are, especially in this time.
Speaker 1: I encourage everybody. You know, we did the Goya bikot
Speaker 1: about a month or so ago, and we told people
Speaker 1: buy Goya products to support the company and give the
Speaker 1: food to the food bank. The food bank needs are
Speaker 1: still strong. And if you are so blessed, if you
Speaker 1: are so fortunate that you can do something like that,
Speaker 1: this would be a good way to start your September
Speaker 1: is by giving back to a food bank, and maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe you will be preventing someone from a crime
Speaker 1: of desperate ration that would have required the officer's discretion
Speaker 1: at that moment. Wendy, I got all heavy on us.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to, but thank you all good It's
Speaker 1: all good stuff. Thank you, Thank you for your opinion.
Speaker 1: Track her down at Wendy Patrick PhD dot com. Thank you,
Speaker 1: my friend. Thanks 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. He's back with you
Speaker 1: now because when it comes to the fight for truth,
Speaker 1: the fuck never stops. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka here sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton,
Speaker 1: kicking off the Labor Day weekend. And as we venture
Speaker 1: into the second half of tonight's show, I told you
Speaker 1: it would be a little less formal, and I mean it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: We have a lot to get to and there are
Speaker 1: news topics that must be discussed. We have to talk
Speaker 1: about what Emperor Cuomo has done to the state of
Speaker 1: New York. We have to talk about what that Frankenstein
Speaker 1: Mayor Deblasio has done to the city of New York.
Speaker 1: And we also have to talk about what's happening in Lincoln, Nebraska. Lincoln, Nebraska,
Speaker 1: you would think is the last place we would go
Speaker 1: to for a political discussion on this show, but no,
Speaker 1: it's one of the first places we should go today. Lincoln,
Speaker 1: Nebraska is getting a lot of attention today because a
Speaker 1: brave man stood in front of the city council and
Speaker 1: made a pitch. His name is Andre Christensen, and he
Speaker 1: was in the Lincoln City Council meeting on Monday and
Speaker 1: he was given his time as a citizen. And I
Speaker 1: think it's only fair that we enjoy what mister Christensen said,
Speaker 1: So I won't take up too much of your time here.
Speaker 1: My name is Andrew Christensen. I live at twelve twelve
Speaker 1: twin Ridge Road, Lincoln. Has the opportunity to be a
Speaker 1: social leader in this country. We have been casually ignoring
Speaker 1: a problem that has gotten so out of control that
Speaker 1: our children are throwing around names and words without even
Speaker 1: understanding their true meaning. And now he's got me right now.
Speaker 1: He's got a shirt and tie on, and yes he
Speaker 1: has a long hair, but he looks very serious. And
Speaker 1: once he's talking about defending language, he has my attention
Speaker 1: because there is a certain amount of structure and we
Speaker 1: need to respect the language, all language, but we also
Speaker 1: have to have standards. So I appreciate mister Kristen Sin
Speaker 1: and his push here. But wait, there's more treating things
Speaker 1: as though they're normal. I go into nice family restaurants
Speaker 1: and I see people throwing this name around and pretending
Speaker 1: as though everything is just fine. I'm talking about boneless
Speaker 1: chicken wings. I propose that we as a city removed
Speaker 1: and excuse me, I'm trying to do yeah, excuse me here,
Speaker 1: Come on, he's upset that boneless chicken wings are acceptable
Speaker 1: in our lexicon, and he wants to fight against the
Speaker 1: term boneless chicken wings being allowed to go forward. Let's
Speaker 1: let him continue. I propose that we as a city
Speaker 1: remove the name boneless wings from our menus and from
Speaker 1: our hearts, for these are our reasons why. Number one,
Speaker 1: nothing about boneless chicken wings actually come from the wing
Speaker 1: of a chicken. We would be disgusted if a butcher
Speaker 1: was mislabeling their cuts of meats, but then we go
Speaker 1: around and pretending as though the rest of the chicken
Speaker 1: is its wing. Number two, boneless chicken wings are just
Speaker 1: chicken tenders which are already boneless. I don't go to
Speaker 1: it and order boneless tacos. I don't go and order
Speaker 1: boneless club sandwiches. I don't ask for boneless auto repair.
Speaker 1: It's just what's expected. And then number three, we need
Speaker 1: to raise our children better. Our children are raised being
Speaker 1: afraid of having bones attached to their meat. That's where
Speaker 1: meat comes from. It grows on bones. We need to
Speaker 1: teach them that the wing of a chicken is from
Speaker 1: a chicken and it's delicious. I propose that we rename
Speaker 1: boneless wings in the city of Lincoln. We can call
Speaker 1: them buffalo style chicken tenders, we can call them wet tenders,
Speaker 1: we can call them saucy nugs or trash. We can
Speaker 1: take these steps and show the country that where we
Speaker 1: stand and that we understand that we've been living alive
Speaker 1: for far too long, and we know it because we
Speaker 1: feel it in our bones. Thank you, thank well done,
Speaker 1: Well done, Ander Christensen. You made your case, and you
Speaker 1: know I find it interesting. Nebraska, which is a place
Speaker 1: from many from which many of us get great meat.
Speaker 1: Now our children are being raised afraid of having bones
Speaker 1: attached to their meat. That's where meat comes from. I
Speaker 1: also enjoy these suggestions. The other names that he said
Speaker 1: could be used to replace boneless chicken wings, Buffalo style
Speaker 1: chicken tenders, wet tenders, saucy nugs, or trash. This guy,
Speaker 1: if he's not a comedian, he should be. And I
Speaker 1: just think it's fabulous Saucy nugs. And people are now
Speaker 1: saying that there's a Saucy Nugs for President email address
Speaker 1: if you want to write to Ander Christensen. Saucy Nugs
Speaker 1: for President at gmail dot com. Saucy Nugs for President
Speaker 1: at gmail dot com had to be one of the
Speaker 1: more exciting moments in the Lincoln, Nebraska City Council in
Speaker 1: a long long time, and it certainly has gone viral.
Speaker 1: It's bouncing all around the country right now. Saucy Nugs everybody.
Speaker 1: I bet that's a band name. Speaking of food and
Speaker 1: fast food, I have to cavetch you a little bit.
Speaker 1: I'm not happy. Late yesterday came the news that Taco
Speaker 1: Bell was revamping its menu. It's streamlining its menu, as
Speaker 1: many food outlets are doing in the time of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: They're having to change things, eliminate things that aren't selling.
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, but this one, this one just seems wrong.
Speaker 1: Taco Bell has removed the Mexican pizza from its menu. Now.
Speaker 1: They've also removed a few other things as there. As
Speaker 1: I said, streamlining their menu, but they're removing pico de gaio,
Speaker 1: you know, the little chopped up stuff that's onions and tomatoes,
Speaker 1: and I think there's a little parsley in there too
Speaker 1: that you can throw on top of your tacos. And
Speaker 1: shredded chicken. Shredded chicken is part of virtually every taco
Speaker 1: menu or burrito and pico de gaio by its nature
Speaker 1: is a Mexican menu item. I understand if you want
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we're a Mexican restaurant and we don't
Speaker 1: want to serve pizza, and so that you're getting rid
Speaker 1: of your Mexican pizza. But that was really the only
Speaker 1: thing I ever ordered at Taco Bell, the only thing. Seriously,
Speaker 1: I wonder, couldn't they have given us a little, a
Speaker 1: little warning so we can have our last dance with
Speaker 1: the Mexican pizza. No. Earlier months, Taco Bell start stopped
Speaker 1: serving Nacho Supreme, Spicy Potato, soft Taco cheesy Fiesta potatoes,
Speaker 1: and the spicy tostada and the seven layer burrito. I
Speaker 1: don't care about that, but the Mexican pizza reportedly a
Speaker 1: fan favorite. I don't know why they're getting rid of it.
Speaker 1: They do say that the Pico de gaio will be
Speaker 1: replaced by fresh dice tomatoes, so that's, I guess, a
Speaker 1: good thing. But Taco Bell, you've broken my heart. No
Speaker 1: more Mexican pizza, and guess what, there'll be no more
Speaker 1: Mico Pelca driving through your drive through lane ever again.
Speaker 1: We're officially broken up, all right? When we get back,
Speaker 1: I noticed something about Joe Biden and he's a really
Speaker 1: bad history professor. Joe Biden trying to teach history yesterday
Speaker 1: while he was in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and he got it
Speaker 1: horribly wrong, very wrong. And I think it's all about pandering.
Speaker 1: We'll dive into that next on The Buck Sexton Show
Speaker 1: with me, Mike Opelka. You're in the Freedom Art. This
Speaker 1: is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. It is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton on this Friday night. Glad to be here, thrilled
Speaker 1: to be here. And I was sitting back watching some
Speaker 1: of the Nosha, Wisconsin event yesterday, and I noticed Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was up to his old tricks. He was saying
Speaker 1: racist things. He was pandering. For example, Joe Biden, the
Speaker 1: history teacher who teaches history that never happened. We got
Speaker 1: a for example, why in God's name don't we teach
Speaker 1: history in history classes? A black man and men at
Speaker 1: the lightbulb, not a white guy named medicine. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: A black guy invented the lightbulb, not a white guy
Speaker 1: named medicine. You're falling for an old, debunked story. The
Speaker 1: guy Lewis Latimer, who I'm sure you're thinking of, was
Speaker 1: not the inventor of the light bulb. In fact, the
Speaker 1: Department of Energy in your administration put out a clarification
Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen about the light bulb and Thomas Edison's
Speaker 1: creation of it. But Joe Biden's just pandering because he
Speaker 1: has a really bad record with black people, a really
Speaker 1: bad record on racism. And if you've been paying attention,
Speaker 1: then then you know, despite what what Bi Goldberg has
Speaker 1: been telling us forever. But you can't call and do
Speaker 1: the set for eight years with a black eyed w
Speaker 1: what did he have a news from the background. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden has a history of saying things that are kind
Speaker 1: of fringy racism, and I'm going to count them down.
Speaker 1: I figured we'd do it with Casey Caysum stopping in
Speaker 1: the late Casey Casum's ghost popping into the studio and
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Joe Biden and the top five most
Speaker 1: racist things he's ever said in his career. Casey, can
Speaker 1: you give us number five? Why? Sure? I can. We're
Speaker 1: counting them down. The number five most racist thing that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has ever said in his career happened way
Speaker 1: back in nineteen seventy seven, Biden was talking about bussing.
Speaker 1: He was against bussing and desegregation of schools, and in
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy seven, during a congressional hearing, an anti bussing
Speaker 1: legislation bill was being offered, Biden joined with segregationists in
Speaker 1: this fight. He said he wanted to quote ensure we
Speaker 1: do have orderly integration into society, and we're not just
Speaker 1: talking about education, but all of society. He went on
Speaker 1: to say that unless we do something about this, my
Speaker 1: children are going to grow up in a jungle, the
Speaker 1: jungle being a racial jungle. Wow, Casey, I didn't realize that. Yes,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. The number five most racist thing that he
Speaker 1: said happened in nineteen seventy seven when he referred to
Speaker 1: his kids not wanting his kids to go to a
Speaker 1: desegregated school. That would be, as he said, a racial jungle.
Speaker 1: But it got weirder. It actually got weirder. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, Joe Biden was running against Barack Obama
Speaker 1: and his presidential campaign. He was trying to be president again.
Speaker 1: He ended up being Obama's running mate, but he talked
Speaker 1: about Barack Obama. In a very bizarre way, didn't he, Casey?
Speaker 1: Yes he did. Coming in at number four is Joe
Speaker 1: Biden talking about Barack Obama and saying some pretty insensitive
Speaker 1: and you might even say downright racist things. You want
Speaker 1: to hear it? Number four here it is, I mean,
Speaker 1: you got the first sort of American who was our
Speaker 1: articulate and bright, clean, bice guy. That's a story. That's
Speaker 1: a storybook, man, Casey. I forgot about some of the
Speaker 1: details of that. But Joe Biden calling Barack Obama, clean, articulate, bright,
Speaker 1: a nice looking guy, did he forget that there were
Speaker 1: other African Americans who ran for president in years before.
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson in nineteen eighty four and in nineteen ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Alan Keys ran in ninety two and ninety six, Carol
Speaker 1: Moseley Braun ran as well in two thousand and four,
Speaker 1: and so did Sharpton. Interesting, very interesting that Joseph Robert
Speaker 1: and Biden would make that kind of a statement. But
Speaker 1: then again, he's made other racist statements, hasn't he? Casey?
Speaker 1: Absolutely right, Mike, And we're back to the countdown of
Speaker 1: the topmost racist things that Joe Biden has ever said,
Speaker 1: and this time it goes a little forward to two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight when Biden was on the ticket with
Speaker 1: Barack Obama to be the vice president, and he was
Speaker 1: in Delaware talking to some Indian Americans about seven elevens
Speaker 1: and dunkin Donuts. Here it is at number four. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've had a great relationship in Delaware. The largest growth
Speaker 1: of population is Indian Americans moving from India. You cannot
Speaker 1: go to a seven eleven or dunkin Donuts unless you
Speaker 1: have a slight Indian accent. It's a point. I'm not joking,
Speaker 1: he said, Casey, that's right. He wasn't joking. He was
Speaker 1: banking racist comments Joe Biden saying that you need a
Speaker 1: slight Indian accent if you want to go into a
Speaker 1: seven eleven or dunkin Donuts. But there's more. We still
Speaker 1: have the top two most racist things ever said by
Speaker 1: Joseph Robinette Biden coming in at number two. Joe Biden
Speaker 1: just last year on the campaign trail in Iowa, talking
Speaker 1: to a Latino crowd about the difference in wealth and education.
Speaker 1: We should challenge students in these schools to have advanced
Speaker 1: placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that
Speaker 1: somehow if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids
Speaker 1: are just as bright and just as talas white kids.
Speaker 1: In case you missed it, here's Joe Biden's second most
Speaker 1: racist thing he's ever said, talking about poor kids being
Speaker 1: justice smart as white kids. Poor kids are just as
Speaker 1: bright and just as talas white kids. That's it number two.
Speaker 1: And so what do you think the number one thing
Speaker 1: that Joseph Biden has said that's racist? What do you
Speaker 1: think it is? Mike Casey, I'm not sure. I know
Speaker 1: I have a lot of things that I remember Joe
Speaker 1: Biden saying, But in terms of what could be possibly
Speaker 1: the most racist thing he's ever said, Gee, I would
Speaker 1: tend to look way back maybe talking about cornpop and
Speaker 1: and the kids in the pool and all that. You
Speaker 1: would be wrong, Mike. Coming in at number one. The
Speaker 1: most racist thing that Joe Biden has ever said happened
Speaker 1: just this year in an interview with Charlemagne the God,
Speaker 1: a popular syndicated radio host. And here it is, long
Speaker 1: way into November. We got more questions, You got more questions.
Speaker 1: Tell me if you have a problem figuring out whether
Speaker 1: you're Fremire Trump and you ain't black excuse me, Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: what did you say? And you ain't black? One more?
Speaker 1: You ain't black? Yes, thank you sir. And there it
Speaker 1: is the top five most racist things ever said by
Speaker 1: Joseph Robinette Biden. Thank you, Casey, and we'll be taking
Speaker 1: a break on the Buck Sexton Show with me. Michael Pelka,
Speaker 1: you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcast. It is the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka
Speaker 1: is sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton on this
Speaker 1: Friday night. Glad to be here, thrilled to be here.
Speaker 1: And I was sitting back watching some of the Kenosha,
Speaker 1: Wisconsin event yesterday, and I noticed Joe Biden was up

Speaker 1: And if you've been paying attention then than you know,
Speaker 1: despite what Woopi Goldberg has been telling us forever. But
Speaker 1: you can't call and do the racing set for eight
Speaker 1: years with a black eye. What did he have a
Speaker 1: news in the background. Joe Biden has a history of
Speaker 1: saying things that are kind of fringy racism, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to count them down. I figured we'd do it

Speaker 1: questions by try if you have a problem figuring out
Speaker 1: whether you're fremire Trump and you ain't black. Excuse me,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, what did you say? And you ain't black?
Speaker 1: One more? You ain't black? Yes, thank you sir. And
Speaker 1: there it is the top five most racist things ever
Speaker 1: said by Joseph Robinette Biden. Thank you, Casey, and we'll
Speaker 1: be taking a break. I'm the Buck Sexton Show with
Speaker 1: me Michael Pelkin. Thanks for listening to the bus Sesson
Speaker 1: Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on a podcast at the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts. Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: decoding the news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence, make
Speaker 1: no mistake a great American Again. This is the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show, Analyst. It is The Buck Sexton Show, third hour,
Speaker 1: coming up on a Friday night, Michael Pelka sitting in
Speaker 1: for my friend Buck Sexton, kicking off a Labor Day weekend.
Speaker 1: I hope you're getting an extended weekend yourself. I'm thrilled
Speaker 1: to be here on this Friday night as we launched
Speaker 1: the weekend, and I'm in my constitutionally protected free speech
Speaker 1: bunker in the woods of Delaware, so I'm not exactly
Speaker 1: in New York City, and I'm glad I'm not in
Speaker 1: New York City after listening to Deblasio deflect the statute
Speaker 1: sticks of all the violent crimes and blame everything on
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and the COVID nineteen eighty four virus. Not kidding,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he did. He was on MSNBC the
Speaker 1: other night and talk about giving the guy a soft
Speaker 1: foam runway for his landing while his plane is on fire.
Speaker 1: Listen to the statistics and then how MSNBC just gives
Speaker 1: Dablasio a pass. The violence is up in New York
Speaker 1: City seven hundred ninety one shooting since May. That's up
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty percent since twenty nineteen, eighty seven
Speaker 1: percent increase in shootings year to date, a thousand shootings
Speaker 1: before Labor Day. It's the worst year for gun violence
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen. I'm obviously going to not agree with
Speaker 1: the President when he says these cities are being overrun,
Speaker 1: you can't leave them, and they're all on fire. Obviously
Speaker 1: that is not the case. Anybody who lives in New
Speaker 1: York City and his breathing knows that's not the case.
Speaker 1: But we are having an with crime in this city.
Speaker 1: Is the budget part of the reason why crime is
Speaker 1: going up, what do you attribute it to? So why
Speaker 1: don't you ask the question and not give the answers
Speaker 1: when you ask the question. MSNBC reporter, ask the question
Speaker 1: and just say what do you attribute it to? No,
Speaker 1: she throws in, there is it the budget, And let's
Speaker 1: go back and look at that seven hundred and ninety
Speaker 1: one shootings since May, eighty seven percent increase in shootings
Speaker 1: year to date, a thousand shootings before Labor Day, worst
Speaker 1: gun violence since twenty fifteen. But you know, MSNBC is
Speaker 1: just going to give de Blasio, as I said, a
Speaker 1: foam to runway for a soft landing. He's going to
Speaker 1: blame it on the virus. Want a bet did anybody
Speaker 1: else lose a job and say the first thing I
Speaker 1: need to do now is go out and start shooting people.
Speaker 1: Has anyone said my kids can't go to school, so
Speaker 1: I better start shooting. I don't think so, But that's
Speaker 1: the way these aggressives think. Here's de Blasio who attribute
Speaker 1: it to. Look, we've had a perfect storm here, Katie, people,
Speaker 1: a million jobs lost in the city, people without work,
Speaker 1: kids not going to school, houses of worship not open,
Speaker 1: you name it. And then our court system hasn't been
Speaker 1: functioning until recently. Well, now, wait a minute about houses
Speaker 1: of worship. You were the guy who told people they
Speaker 1: can't open their houses of worship. You were the guy
Speaker 1: who closed the school, so you might have had something
Speaker 1: to do with this all because of the coronavirus. So
Speaker 1: let's be clear. For the last six previous years, crime
Speaker 1: was going down steadily in New York City, safest big
Speaker 1: city in America. What changed it a pandemic that knocked
Speaker 1: out so much of the life of this city and
Speaker 1: just create crisis after crisis. But we're starting to come
Speaker 1: out of that. Yeah, well, maybe if you'd let the
Speaker 1: cops do their job and last summer when people started
Speaker 1: pelting police with water balloons, if you didn't just say, hey,
Speaker 1: just take it, cops. It's basically an assault that you
Speaker 1: allowed to happen, maybe there would have been a little
Speaker 1: more respect for law and order. And maybe if you
Speaker 1: didn't say, we're eliminating cash bail and we're just going
Speaker 1: to start locking people up when they commit crimes. No,
Speaker 1: they arrest them and they turn them loose. There's no
Speaker 1: penalty for breaking the law in New York City. It's
Speaker 1: not the coronavirus. Sir again, I've had bad tough times
Speaker 1: since the virus. We all have. But our instinct isn't
Speaker 1: to go and destroy stuff, It isn't to go and
Speaker 1: commit crimes. I just don't understand these people. I really don't.
Speaker 1: And that's why I think Donald Trump is going to
Speaker 1: have a huge response from people who want law and order,
Speaker 1: who want some sort of respect for a civil society,
Speaker 1: and that's going to be a good thing. Last night,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was out on the campaign train. As I
Speaker 1: said earlier, he was in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and he was
Speaker 1: given Joe Biden a little bit of the business. And
Speaker 1: I wonder if he picked up the latest nickname for
Speaker 1: Joe Biden from Senator Kennedy. Senator Kennedy was talking about
Speaker 1: Joe Biden earlier this week and he said this, you
Speaker 1: can't stay in your hidey hole. You gotta get out
Speaker 1: and see people on debate. You can't stay in your
Speaker 1: hidey hole. And then Donald Trump last night called Joe
Speaker 1: Biden by the new nickname. You ever know what Joe Hiden?
Speaker 1: Did you ever see a man that likes him ask
Speaker 1: as much as him? If I were a psychiatrists, right, No,
Speaker 1: i'd say, I'd said, this guy's got some big issues. Yes,
Speaker 1: he does. Joe Hiden in his hidee hole. He's back
Speaker 1: in Delaware, and I don't know when he's gonna come
Speaker 1: out again. I'm sure he'll pop out again. If he
Speaker 1: sees his shadow, he'll be scared and go back in. Anyway,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump last night talking about Joe Biden and his
Speaker 1: plan to deal with China and the looters and the
Speaker 1: rioters and anyone who opposes America. Biden's plan is to
Speaker 1: appease the domestic terrorists, and my plan is to arrest
Speaker 1: them and prosecute them. Yes, I like that plan. I
Speaker 1: like the plan when we arrest and prosecute people. Now,
Speaker 1: the other question that the Democrats are trying to raise
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump and what he said at the rally
Speaker 1: and what he said for the last couple of days,
Speaker 1: Trump is telling people go ahead and vote by mail,
Speaker 1: request your ballot, sign it, vote, turn it in, and
Speaker 1: then just to make sure your ballot has been counted,
Speaker 1: you go to the polls and you see if you
Speaker 1: can vote. And if they tell you you can't vote
Speaker 1: because we've already counted your vote, then we know that
Speaker 1: your mail in ballot was actually processed. He's not telling
Speaker 1: people to vote twice. He's telling people to make sure
Speaker 1: the vote is actually counted. Yes, this is what he said.
Speaker 1: Sign your melon ballot. Okay, you sign it and send
Speaker 1: it in and then you have to follow it and
Speaker 1: up on election day or early voting that is not
Speaker 1: tabulated and counted, you go vote. Yeah, that's exactly right.
Speaker 1: Just make sure you actually get to vote and your
Speaker 1: vote counts. Don't vote twice, just vote once. Just make
Speaker 1: sure it counts. All right, I'm stepping aside. When we
Speaker 1: get back, let's dive into Hollywood. This new Disney model
Speaker 1: for releasing big screen epic films through streaming but not
Speaker 1: in theaters Moulan live Action. Can it work? We'll talk
Speaker 1: to a Hollywood expert next on The Buck Sexton Show.

Speaker 1: I have known her professionally. I've never met her in person,
Speaker 1: although I would love to. But she's one of my
Speaker 1: go tos for the world of entertainment and what's going
Speaker 1: on and what's happening, and there's something going on today.
Speaker 1: So I asked Nancy Ja to join us here on
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show and talk about this bold move
Speaker 1: by the Disney Company streaming Mulan instead of putting it
Speaker 1: in the theaters. Welcome, my friend, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: You got thirty dollars, handy, what do you need? You
Speaker 1: need a loan? I thought you were still working. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what we all need. Thirty dollars. If
Speaker 1: you want to see Disney's new live action Mulan. You
Speaker 1: remember nineteen ninety eight's animated hit Mulan. So now it
Speaker 1: is with real people kind of it. Actually, it feels
Speaker 1: a little bit like the Matrix or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,
Speaker 1: Crouching Hidden Dragon Tiger. Yeah, you got the first time Fats,
Speaker 1: great angles, great movie, right, happened to be a big fan.
Speaker 1: I loved it, and you know I will tell you
Speaker 1: watching tennis, they are running non stop ads for this
Speaker 1: live action version of Mulan. Didn't see the cartoon because
Speaker 1: I'm not really a cartoon guy, don't have kids. But
Speaker 1: I looked at this and I thought, well, that looks
Speaker 1: pretty interesting. Okay, well, first of all, Mike, we need
Speaker 1: to call it animated, all right, come on, that's what
Speaker 1: we need to call it these days. But I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think if it as a cartoon, but it was
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety eight, okay, animated hit. But now this is
Speaker 1: the remake, and if you subscribe to Disney Plus, you
Speaker 1: can watch it on your big screen TV or maybe
Speaker 1: your laptop, even your phone. But you got to pay
Speaker 1: the thirty bucks actually twenty nine ninety nine, so that
Speaker 1: is available today and if you're Disney Plus, it will
Speaker 1: be yours forever as long as you continue as a
Speaker 1: Disney Plus subscriber. So I gotta keep paying monthly, Like
Speaker 1: if I want to watch Mulan every month, I also
Speaker 1: have to keep up with the seven or eight bucks
Speaker 1: a month. Right, But is it worth it? I mean
Speaker 1: it might be worth it. If you have a big family,
Speaker 1: you're going to have your friends over. Go sit in
Speaker 1: your big TV room, ride and make your own popcorn.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, good and darn well, a family
Speaker 1: of four will spend gosh much more than thirty dollars
Speaker 1: at a movie, right, so it would be worth it.
Speaker 1: But what I find interesting is this is really not
Speaker 1: a kiddie show anymore. Now, if you're a fan of
Speaker 1: the cartoon, we've got some big changes, Mike. Two hundred
Speaker 1: million dollars is what this movie is costing Disney, that's what.
Speaker 1: And that's without a bunch of marketing other than commercials, right,
Speaker 1: because they're not. They're showing it overseas. It's going to
Speaker 1: be big in China, but no theaters here are showing it.
Speaker 1: All of us. Critics got a link which I asked for.
Speaker 1: I was not going to go into a movie theater
Speaker 1: to see this movie. But we do have the plot
Speaker 1: remaining the same. Okay, so this is Mulan. A young
Speaker 1: Chinese woman disguises herself as a man to spare her
Speaker 1: elderly father from military service. I mean she becomes a
Speaker 1: male warrior, and she is a I mean she's a
Speaker 1: good warrior. There's no singing like in the original Mulan
Speaker 1: the cartoon, which I'm glad there's no Mushoe, the talking dragon.
Speaker 1: That was Eddie Murphy, no Mushoe. And when Mulan is
Speaker 1: in red, and I'm sure you noticed this in the
Speaker 1: ads that you're seeing on television, it almost makes the
Speaker 1: rest of the movie feel like it's in black and white,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, yeah, Mulan is the movie has
Speaker 1: grown up. It's PG. Thirteen. I don't think that a
Speaker 1: kid under the age of six or seven is going
Speaker 1: to really want to sit through all this because it,
Speaker 1: like I said, it's very matrix like. It's very violent,
Speaker 1: and it's not animated fighting. It's real fighting. But it
Speaker 1: probably has some of the cables as they call it.
Speaker 1: Some of the players are on cables because they fly
Speaker 1: around a little bit. Is that is that? Well, I
Speaker 1: didn't see a lot of cables, Mike. Are you saying
Speaker 1: that you saw? You notice that stuff? Yeah? If well,
Speaker 1: it was hard to miss in some of them. And
Speaker 1: I'm very critical. But you also have the willful suspension
Speaker 1: of disbelief the moment you start watching a film, especially
Speaker 1: if it's a film with a little bit of say,
Speaker 1: fantasy involved in it, and this certainly should qualify for that.
Speaker 1: So I'm willing to let reality go astray for a while.
Speaker 1: In order to let my mind enjoy the adventure. Well,
Speaker 1: I like the idea that this adventure is very current. Okay,
Speaker 1: So in the in the animated film from nineteen ninety eight,
Speaker 1: the first villain the film's villain was this invading, genocidal
Speaker 1: child killer. But now Mulan faces these new antagonists in
Speaker 1: her fight to save the emperor. There's a female sorcerer
Speaker 1: and some other evildoer male who supposedly each have their
Speaker 1: own reasons for standing against the emperor. But I never
Speaker 1: got that. I had no idea what was happening in
Speaker 1: the first stake fifteen minutes of this movie, whatsoever? Really? Okay, really? Right?
Speaker 1: So you got to see you've seen the whole thing.
Speaker 1: Did you watch it on a computer or on a TV,
Speaker 1: a big screen TV. I watched it on a laptop,
Speaker 1: my little MacBook Pro. Okay, yes, now I know. I
Speaker 1: mean that's that was how I just still can't seem
Speaker 1: to get online and put my password on and get
Speaker 1: the website and do all these things you have to do.
Speaker 1: Because oh and also the other thing is my name
Speaker 1: is is across the screen not really strong, but you
Speaker 1: see it throughout the whole movie. Because this is linked
Speaker 1: to me as a special, you know, little perk from Disney,
Speaker 1: and otherwise I'd be seeing my name on the big screen,
Speaker 1: which actually, now that you mention it, that would maybe
Speaker 1: that wouldn't have been so bad. But anyway, well so,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing. But let me just let me
Speaker 1: just tell you this. So we've got this, So we've
Speaker 1: got these these new people that I have no idea
Speaker 1: with why they're even there. But if you recall back
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight, we didn't really have hashtags, much
Speaker 1: less the hashtag me too movement. Right, So, in this
Speaker 1: live action remake, Disney has gotten rid of Mulan's commanding officer,
Speaker 1: her boss as her love interest, the producer actually saying
Speaker 1: it was just uncomfortable and not appropriate today for her
Speaker 1: boss to be interested in her in that way. So
Speaker 1: now the boss is kind of a mentor and Amulan
Speaker 1: sort of a surrogate father, and her love interest is
Speaker 1: another warrior, an equal in rank. And the dialogue is unmemorable.
Speaker 1: It's the action scenes, that's what, and that is what
Speaker 1: has kind of grabbed you towards this movie, right, Mike,
Speaker 1: you liked to seeing all of you know this, these
Speaker 1: moves these these huge fights, right. I love these scenes.
Speaker 1: They are balletic in many ways, and they are obviously choreographs,
Speaker 1: so I'm interested in that. I love the pageantry of
Speaker 1: these kinds of films, so I will likely fork out
Speaker 1: the thirty bucks. It's two hundred million dollars Disney spent
Speaker 1: on this. That's a whole lot of cheddar for a
Speaker 1: film that you're not making prints to put in theaters.
Speaker 1: That's always the big expense, Disney. What do they estimate?
Speaker 1: Will we know like regular box office reports on Monday?
Speaker 1: Will we know how much this film has made? I
Speaker 1: don't know if it'll be Monday. It'll be interesting. We'll
Speaker 1: probably get some figures that say that they're remember you
Speaker 1: have if you don't already have Disney Plus, you're going
Speaker 1: to have to join. Okay, see there's that too, So
Speaker 1: there's probably going to be figures for new subscribers, current subscribers.
Speaker 1: I know we did get it with the trolls when
Speaker 1: Universal put that out on a video on demand, you
Speaker 1: know a few months ago. We did get the figures,
Speaker 1: but it takes a little bit longer. Or you can
Speaker 1: just wait, Mike, because Mulan is going to be free
Speaker 1: on Disney Plus on December fourth, exactly three months, so
Speaker 1: I can wait and be behind the cool kids. I
Speaker 1: won't know what it's about unless I can go to
Speaker 1: a neighbor's house that's got it and they forked over
Speaker 1: the thirty bucks. I can wait till December fourth, and
Speaker 1: then all I have to pay is the monthly subscription hit.
Speaker 1: Huh be interesting that I'm looking at this not only
Speaker 1: from content, because content is the entertainment factor that I'm
Speaker 1: looking at, but I'm also looking at this from a
Speaker 1: business standpoint. The business model for entertainment has now totally shifted.
Speaker 1: The paradigm has changed completely, and if this is successful,
Speaker 1: Disney will have broken through on a new level and
Speaker 1: movie deliveries, and it kind of spells the end of
Speaker 1: theaters on the multiplex side of things. I think, well,
Speaker 1: Mulan could indeed shape the future of blockbuster movies. But
Speaker 1: you've got to remember this weekend, we do have movies
Speaker 1: in theaters around the country. Christopher Nolan's tenant, the mind
Speaker 1: bending movie the kind that he loves to do, did
Speaker 1: not get a link to that. They are not making
Speaker 1: that available to critics. They had a little junket in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas and had a few people fly in and
Speaker 1: actually one on one, you know, meet these people who
Speaker 1: made the movie. I guess to do interviews and so on.
Speaker 1: But the majority of critics we have to go to
Speaker 1: the movie theaters to see it, and I haven't gone yet. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I have no interesting tenant. I'm not a Christopher Nolan fan.
Speaker 1: That's me. Don't don't at me, people, but I will
Speaker 1: say I will see mulan. Nancy j thank you for
Speaker 1: sharing your insights. So you say Mulan's worth it? You
Speaker 1: thought entertainment value it's there. It's a good film. I
Speaker 1: think if you gather some people with you to watch it,
Speaker 1: it'll be better. You know what I mean? I would
Speaker 1: I wouldn't pay thirty dollars to see it, just me
Speaker 1: by myself. No, but I think that it's that it's
Speaker 1: good entertainment. It's well done, it's pretty. It is We've
Speaker 1: got a good female character. I mean, she does kick
Speaker 1: some you know what, and this may just be what
Speaker 1: we need right now. Mike, Okay, I'm down. Thank you,
Speaker 1: Nancy Jay. Happy Labor Day weekend. You're in the Freedom Heart.
Speaker 1: This is the Buckset and Show podcast. He's back. With
Speaker 1: you now, because when it comes to the fight for truth,
Speaker 1: the fuck never stops. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Got about a half an hour left on this Friday
Speaker 1: night adventure launching into the Labor Day weekend. Mike Opelka
Speaker 1: sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton, and I'm also
Speaker 1: being joined by another friend, another member of our old
Speaker 1: Blaze crew, Billy halliwell, one of the more important faith
Speaker 1: writers in the country today. Billy writes for places like
Speaker 1: faith Wire. He's also on the pure Flix website, and
Speaker 1: he's part of the same group that Buck is the
Speaker 1: first TV dot com, and he opines on things about
Speaker 1: faith as well as culture. And I think our lives
Speaker 1: require more than just politics and heavy news. We have
Speaker 1: to have information from the entire spectrum, a broad spectrum.
Speaker 1: Well let's call it a I don't know, shall we
Speaker 1: call it, Billy A news buffet. Yes, so we all
Speaker 1: need to have sort of a delicious and very varied
Speaker 1: news buffet at a buffet. I like, well, I love buffets,
Speaker 1: but I also love that that's true, you need every topic.
Speaker 1: Back in the day when we were at the Blaze,
Speaker 1: I remember our editor Scott Baker, who used to say,
Speaker 1: you want the main part of the site, the latest,
Speaker 1: to have every topic in it, right, not just one thing.
Speaker 1: You wanted to have tech and faith, in politics and news.
Speaker 1: And it's so true. I love that kind of news
Speaker 1: site where you get everything, and so I think that's
Speaker 1: that's what you offer to everybody. So I always appreciate
Speaker 1: that well. With that in mind, here on the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show on this Uhday evening, the kickoff to Labor Day,
Speaker 1: I thought it important to drag you in and talk
Speaker 1: about a couple of things that you're involved in. Billy
Speaker 1: is a guy who, as I mentioned, writes in the
Speaker 1: faith community and has written books and now we can
Speaker 1: say several books about faith topics. And he has a
Speaker 1: new one coming out next week. I think it I
Speaker 1: think the cool could say it drops on Tuesday. Billy's
Speaker 1: Billy's new book. It's it's about demons and exorcists and
Speaker 1: ghosts and all this stuff. What's the title again? Is
Speaker 1: it Prey Harder? It's called Playing with Fire? Playing with
Speaker 1: firebook dot Com? Why did I think it was Pray
Speaker 1: Harder Playing with Fire? And the website is playing with
Speaker 1: firebook dot com. You have studied exorcists and ghosts and spirits,
Speaker 1: and you talked with people who've experienced this and chased
Speaker 1: him out all that stuff that correct. It is, it's correct,
Speaker 1: And it's funny every time somebody asks me, oh, what's
Speaker 1: your book about, you know, and then I kind of
Speaker 1: like take a deep breath and like, well, it's about
Speaker 1: evil and it's about demons and exorcism, and you know,
Speaker 1: the reaction that people have is really interesting, I think,
Speaker 1: because it's not on the surface it's a weird topic
Speaker 1: and you hear it and you think, oh, that's strange, right,
Speaker 1: But then anybody who's grown up with any knowledge of
Speaker 1: the Bible, you know, anybody knows, oh, this is something
Speaker 1: that is very embedded in scripture. But not only that,
Speaker 1: since the beginning of time, these are topics that people
Speaker 1: have been speaking about, claiming they've experienced or they've seen,
Speaker 1: or even saying, hey, I don't know what I believe,
Speaker 1: but I feel like something weird happened to me. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is like one of the most common things in
Speaker 1: the human experience since the beginning of time, and so
Speaker 1: it's a fascinating area. And I would add it's one
Speaker 1: that Hollywood is well aware of that sort of internal
Speaker 1: interest in because every movie that comes out, it seems
Speaker 1: every other movie is focused on the demonic or on
Speaker 1: evil in some way. So it's fascinating. And you've talked
Speaker 1: with Did you talk to an exorcist in writing this book? Yes,
Speaker 1: so I talked with And it's interesting the Protestant world
Speaker 1: versus the Catholic world and how it's talked about. And
Speaker 1: some Protestants too will use the word exorcist, right, So
Speaker 1: Catholics will say exorcist, others will say deliverance. Right. So
Speaker 1: I spoke with people who practice deliverance, which is very
Speaker 1: similar to exorcism, and also spoke with a priest who
Speaker 1: handles exorcism. And then I also talked to people who
Speaker 1: went through deliverances and who were involved in exorcism. So
Speaker 1: it was sort of a broad array of individuals with
Speaker 1: different stories. And the book is really a mix of stories.
Speaker 1: People's stories, right, claims of what they feel they went through,
Speaker 1: and some of it is very fascinating and it's really
Speaker 1: documented some of it, which makes it more compelling to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: well there's evidence, it's not just some person making a
Speaker 1: story up, and then really understanding the process, what does
Speaker 1: the Bible, say, what was Jesus doing? I mean, there's
Speaker 1: two stories in the Bible about children who are healed
Speaker 1: of possession. That is terrifying. How does a child end
Speaker 1: up possessed? So kind of going into all of these
Speaker 1: different elements to try to explore them and help people
Speaker 1: walk away with a good sense of understanding, but not
Speaker 1: just understanding the issue, really looking at Okay, if this
Speaker 1: is true, how does that impact our culture? What is
Speaker 1: happening right now with all this chaos? And is evil
Speaker 1: attached to that in anyway? So it's very interesting. And
Speaker 1: Billy Hallowell is on the phone with us, connected via
Speaker 1: Skype with us when we're talking about Billy's new book,
Speaker 1: Playing with Fire, and it is about exorcisms and demons
Speaker 1: and ghosts. When you went into doing the research on
Speaker 1: this book, Billy, I know you were attracted to writing
Speaker 1: the book or you wouldn't have done it. Did anything
Speaker 1: in your belief system changed after you finished it? You know?
Speaker 1: I was really hesitant because you know, we worked together
Speaker 1: at the Blaze and when I was at Faithwire as well.
Speaker 1: I covered these issues and it was one thing to
Speaker 1: cover the issues here or there, you know, for a
Speaker 1: story it was another thing to say, Okay, for the
Speaker 1: next few months of my life, this is something I'm
Speaker 1: dealing with every day I'm reading about I'm writing about it.
Speaker 1: It's a dark topic, right, I mean, it's very dark,
Speaker 1: and when you get into it and you start hearing
Speaker 1: people's stories, it's really sad. How how spiritual warfare, which
Speaker 1: is the terminology of how people speak about this, really
Speaker 1: impacts people's lives. And you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: debate about mental illness, which I go into in the
Speaker 1: book as well. When is it mental illness? When is
Speaker 1: it something more? But for me going into this, I
Speaker 1: went and scared. I't I was attracted to the topic
Speaker 1: and I wanted to explain it and dive into it.
Speaker 1: And I know I've been a Christian my whole life.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be afraid of those things, but admittedly I was.
Speaker 1: And so I sat on the book contract for two
Speaker 1: months and said, do I really want to do this?
Speaker 1: Is it really worth the time and energy and all
Speaker 1: of the effort to pour myself into something that really
Speaker 1: if you believe it's true. Let's just put it this way.
Speaker 1: Some people might listen to this and say, I don't
Speaker 1: believe it's true. I think this is crazy and anybody
Speaker 1: who believes in demons are crazy people. Almost half the public,
Speaker 1: by the way, not just Christians, say that they believe
Speaker 1: in demons, So it's forty five percent. I think that's
Speaker 1: a percentage, So you know, to answer your question. When
Speaker 1: I finished the book, I walked away feeling actually really
Speaker 1: encouraged in my faith. And that's the goal. I think.
Speaker 1: When you read it, it's hard, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: tough stories in it, but when you walk away, it's like, wow,
Speaker 1: I have to really understand evil, I think fully to
Speaker 1: understand the need for Jesus, the need for good, the
Speaker 1: need for faith, right because when you really see that,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, there really is and we see this
Speaker 1: in the news, a struggle over good and evil. We
Speaker 1: see it in politics, we see it everywhere, and it's
Speaker 1: easy to just sort of assign it to the material
Speaker 1: that but but there's a whole world out there that
Speaker 1: we're not seeing. If we're to believe the Bible, and
Speaker 1: I personally do, not everybody does, but we see that
Speaker 1: play out in so many different ways. So I left
Speaker 1: really actually encouraged in my faith, not afraid, and feeling
Speaker 1: like all of that stuff when you look at it
Speaker 1: the right way point you back actually to Jesus, which
Speaker 1: is sort of crazy. It's not crazy. It's not crazy.
Speaker 1: I guess it's not. I mean, it shouldn't be right,
Speaker 1: but because I think we get in our heads. For
Speaker 1: people of faith, you can read the Bible over and
Speaker 1: over and over again, and it's I mean, how do
Speaker 1: you look past I mean think about this, and I
Speaker 1: know you've grown up around the Bible. I grew up
Speaker 1: around the Bible. The stories of Jesus expelling demons. There
Speaker 1: are a bunch of stories throughout the New Testament, not
Speaker 1: just Jesus, Paul and others, And I feel like I
Speaker 1: glazed over all of this my entire life. To be
Speaker 1: honest with you, it wasn't until I was working on
Speaker 1: this where I had to go back to it and say,
Speaker 1: what is actually happening in these stories? And when you
Speaker 1: do that, it's really it's really eye opening because you
Speaker 1: have to pair that with the fact that we're told
Speaker 1: that there is a devil who is trying to see people,
Speaker 1: and you take all of those descriptions and you say, man,
Speaker 1: what impact does this have not only on me but
Speaker 1: on the world around us, and so it's eye opening
Speaker 1: when you do that. It's amazing. His name is Billy halliwell,
Speaker 1: he is one of the more thoughtful people in my world,
Speaker 1: a guy I respect his opinion, especially in matters of faith.
Speaker 1: And Billy, you know, I grew up a Catholic, so
Speaker 1: let's not kid ourselves. Catholics don't really go waiting past
Speaker 1: ankle deep into the Bible. We're kind of given the
Speaker 1: reader's digest version, and it forces you to make a
Speaker 1: choice in your life if you want to know more.
Speaker 1: And that is one of the failings I think of Catholicism.
Speaker 1: And you find out how much of a faithful person
Speaker 1: you are based on once you're out of Catholic school,
Speaker 1: do you seek out anything more than as I said,
Speaker 1: that reader's digest version of the Bible that's really taught
Speaker 1: to Catholics. And all of you Catholic friends, mind, don't
Speaker 1: at me on this. It's it's my analysis of our faith.
Speaker 1: And we have some problems, we have some holes. You know.
Speaker 1: Even the Mickey Mouse Club when I was growing up,
Speaker 1: the original Mickey Mouse Club used to do a proverb
Speaker 1: on the show every single day. And if you can
Speaker 1: you imagine if you tried that today, they would throw
Speaker 1: you off television, although they're more interested in social engineering
Speaker 1: in different way. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, that's true. Not
Speaker 1: the color opposite, now, right, that is that it really is,
Speaker 1: it really is anyway, that's part of this though. But
Speaker 1: that and that's what's so. And you know, I am
Speaker 1: of the mind when people come at me, and I
Speaker 1: think you know that when I approach a topic, I
Speaker 1: try to do it as a journalist looking through a
Speaker 1: lens in interviewing people. So when you read playing with Fire,
Speaker 1: it's not me sitting there telling you this is what
Speaker 1: you have to believe. I'm pulling together all the information
Speaker 1: I'm talking to people, and not everybody agrees on these topics, right. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church has a very specific way of doing
Speaker 1: things when it comes to exorcism. Protestants have a very
Speaker 1: different way of doing it with the same intended results, right,
Speaker 1: the same thing that you're hoping will happen, which is
Speaker 1: to heal people who are afflicted. But when people come
Speaker 1: at me and they're like, this is crazy, why are
Speaker 1: you writing about this? This doesn't exist. I mean the
Speaker 1: fact that we're sitting here on a radio station right now,
Speaker 1: the factor on radio or on a podcast and the
Speaker 1: fact that people are listening, the fact that we have
Speaker 1: mere existence is crazy and you can get into I mean,
Speaker 1: when you start to break down the complexities of life
Speaker 1: and the fact that we're all here and you really
Speaker 1: think about that, then it makes all of the rest
Speaker 1: of this actually make more sense. And so I try
Speaker 1: to challenge people with that because I think it's easy
Speaker 1: to say, oh, none of this is really going on,
Speaker 1: but I don't know. I mean, I see evidence of
Speaker 1: it all around us, and so, you know, to answer
Speaker 1: your earlier question too, I left really feeling validated in
Speaker 1: the faith and that understanding that well you just described
Speaker 1: in the Catholic Church. A lot of other denominations have
Speaker 1: that problem too. I think it's it's not encouraging people
Speaker 1: to read for themselves and to dive in themselves, but
Speaker 1: when you do, it really opens your mind to just
Speaker 1: how complex that battle over good and evil really is. Well,
Speaker 1: the whole concept of reading is something people need to
Speaker 1: explore once they're out of school, and most of us
Speaker 1: don't do it enough. His name is Billy Hallowell. The
Speaker 1: book is Playing with Fire. If you go to playing
Speaker 1: with firebook dot Com. You'll find out more it hits
Speaker 1: availability on Tuesday of this coming week. Billy, I forgot
Speaker 1: to ask you. If you're a member of Amazon Prime,
Speaker 1: do you get free deliverance? Oh that was a good one.
Speaker 1: I knew, I knew that you were going to have
Speaker 1: a little joke popping up there. Well, you let us know, Mike,
Speaker 1: because you may need some, so you let us know
Speaker 1: how that goes put in your order. That's true, Billywell,
Speaker 1: now get out. Thank you for having me. Goodbye, I'll
Speaker 1: see you, my friend. There he goes Billy Hallowell and
Speaker 1: here I go. We'll be back to wrap up this
Speaker 1: edition of The Buck Sexton Show with me, Mike Opalca
Speaker 1: Come on back, you're in the Freedom Hunt. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Michael Palca here wrapping up

Speaker 1: to mention before we got out of here. We get
Speaker 1: Billy Halliwell's book A nice plug, but there is another
Speaker 1: book out there worth reading from my friend Evan Say It. Evans,
Speaker 1: say It, sayet. He has a very short book called
Speaker 1: The Woke Supremacy. The Woke Supremacy. It's a manifesto explaining
Speaker 1: how you can deal with all these woke mad people
Speaker 1: out there. It's very cool. It's on Amazon. It's real cheap,
Speaker 1: The Woke Supremacy. Check it out. It's more arrows of
Speaker 1: knowledge to put into your quiver when you are facing
Speaker 1: some of the offend Denista class, some of these liberal progressives.
Speaker 1: Also the lady whose hair salon Nancy Pelosi visited and
Speaker 1: then claimed she was the victim of a setup of
Speaker 1: elder abuse. That lady's been getting death threats for saying
Speaker 1: the truth, for speaking the truth about Pelosi and Pelosi's visit,
Speaker 1: death threats. I want you to think about that she
Speaker 1: merely was trying to keep her business open. Well, thank god,
Speaker 1: people are paying attention. Somebody started to go fund me
Speaker 1: account for the woman of e Salon SF in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: Erica Kios is the owner of that salon. As I said,
Speaker 1: she's been getting death threats. Thank god. People have set
Speaker 1: up a fundraiser. There is over a hundred grand last
Speaker 1: time I checked, and you can check it. But it's
Speaker 1: out there. If you're so inclined, you can donate to
Speaker 1: Erica's cause she's going to need more security and she
Speaker 1: probably will have to move because you know Pelosi, not
Speaker 1: that she's vindictive or anything, just throwing that out there.
Speaker 1: And we are going to be less than fifty days
Speaker 1: before the election, Well it's going to be like fifty
Speaker 1: six days when Buck gets back here. And they know
Speaker 1: a lot of people are nervous, and with good reason.
Speaker 1: Biden's got a whole bunch of money behind him. He
Speaker 1: will have a lot of slick campaigns behind him, but
Speaker 1: he has some people jittery, people like Van Jones, one
Speaker 1: of the pundits on the left. Van Jones is not
Speaker 1: sure about Joe Biden. The longer we talk about violence
Speaker 1: and unrest and how he's handling it or not handling it,
Speaker 1: it's all advantaged Trump. In other words, this campaign is
Speaker 1: going well for Donald Trump because we're not talking about
Speaker 1: the economic devastation that people are experiencing or the virus.
Speaker 1: Really and I think it's time for us to recognize it.
Speaker 1: We are in a very perilous situation. If you want
Speaker 1: to see a change in November, no, I don't want
Speaker 1: to see a change in November. And the reason why
Speaker 1: we're in a very perilous situation is because the candidate
Speaker 1: you guys have chosen is a horrible candidate. Anybody's sounds
Speaker 1: like this when they're supposed to be inspirational. We got
Speaker 1: to be honest with them and say you got to
Speaker 1: step up, You got to step up. We got to
Speaker 1: do a lot more, a lot more now we've done
Speaker 1: because this is the first chance we've had in a generation,
Speaker 1: in my view, to deal and cut another slice off
Speaker 1: institutional racism, the first chance in a generation. You've been
Speaker 1: in politics for forty seven years, you were in the
Speaker 1: White House for eight years. What did you do nothing?
