What was the most 4 00:00:22,377 --> 00:00:26,297 Speaker 1: important story of twenty twenty five? This is our wrap 5 00:00:26,377 --> 00:00:30,217 Speaker 1: up show here on the Buck Sexton Show or the 6 00:00:30,257 --> 00:00:33,697 Speaker 1: Buck Brief, same thing. And it's my last time that 7 00:00:33,737 --> 00:00:35,897 Speaker 1: I get to talk to you all before we're in 8 00:00:35,897 --> 00:00:40,577 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six, which is pretty amazing, pretty crazy, how 9 00:00:40,577 --> 00:00:42,697 Speaker 1: fast the time flies. Next time I speak to you, 10 00:00:42,737 --> 00:00:48,017 Speaker 1: I will be forty four years old, and that is 11 00:00:48,657 --> 00:00:51,137 Speaker 1: definitely middle aged. So I'm a middle aged guy now 12 00:00:51,697 --> 00:00:54,297 Speaker 1: and forty four feels like I'm deep into my forty 13 00:00:54,377 --> 00:00:57,577 Speaker 1: So here we go. Now, I will say that I 14 00:00:57,617 --> 00:01:00,857 Speaker 1: want to give a little bit of a reflection on 15 00:01:00,897 --> 00:01:02,857 Speaker 1: the news of this past year, and then I want 16 00:01:02,897 --> 00:01:08,377 Speaker 1: to just reflects as me Buck Sexton on the last year. 17 00:01:08,617 --> 00:01:11,537 Speaker 1: You know my name, but on the last year. I'll 18 00:01:11,537 --> 00:01:14,617 Speaker 1: start with the news. I think the biggest single story 19 00:01:14,857 --> 00:01:20,817 Speaker 1: of this year has been variations on immigration. Illegal immigration. 20 00:01:21,977 --> 00:01:26,257 Speaker 1: For example, the biggest win of twenty twenty five for 21 00:01:26,497 --> 00:01:30,697 Speaker 1: Trump two point zero the second Trump term was securing 22 00:01:30,737 --> 00:01:34,217 Speaker 1: the border so quickly and so effectively such that we 23 00:01:34,257 --> 00:01:37,737 Speaker 1: don't really have illegal entry going on anymore. No one's 24 00:01:37,737 --> 00:01:40,817 Speaker 1: coming across the border southern border illegally. Now this is 25 00:01:40,817 --> 00:01:44,137 Speaker 1: a huge deal because of all of the downstream effects 26 00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:47,577 Speaker 1: of illegal immigration, but also because it shows that we 27 00:01:47,577 --> 00:01:50,937 Speaker 1: were lied to for so long about this. And that's 28 00:01:50,977 --> 00:01:53,097 Speaker 1: what I don't want anyone to forget. I don't want 29 00:01:53,097 --> 00:01:55,777 Speaker 1: anyone to get over this. They acted like and the 30 00:01:55,857 --> 00:02:00,337 Speaker 1: Biden administration, and this was somewhat bipartisan. They pretended that 31 00:02:01,897 --> 00:02:04,457 Speaker 1: there was no way all the border's too big, you 32 00:02:04,497 --> 00:02:06,857 Speaker 1: can't build a wall, it's not going to work, all 33 00:02:06,897 --> 00:02:09,657 Speaker 1: this stuff. No, it actually is very possible to have 34 00:02:09,657 --> 00:02:13,777 Speaker 1: a secure because we have one. So what were all 35 00:02:13,777 --> 00:02:17,057 Speaker 1: those people saying. Now, I will tell you the ones 36 00:02:17,057 --> 00:02:21,017 Speaker 1: who were saying that they feel no shame at being 37 00:02:21,057 --> 00:02:23,697 Speaker 1: so wrong and this whatsoever, because even if they had 38 00:02:23,737 --> 00:02:25,057 Speaker 1: to and I think some of them knew that they 39 00:02:25,057 --> 00:02:28,737 Speaker 1: were lying, even if they had to lie, they believe 40 00:02:29,097 --> 00:02:33,897 Speaker 1: that the lie was a righteous one. It was a 41 00:02:33,937 --> 00:02:36,737 Speaker 1: good thing to do to lie because they believe this 42 00:02:36,857 --> 00:02:39,297 Speaker 1: propaganda that America is a nation of immigrants, and no, 43 00:02:39,337 --> 00:02:42,417 Speaker 1: we're a nation of Americans. There are some immigrants. And 44 00:02:42,457 --> 00:02:46,097 Speaker 1: then they have children who are Americans if they're coming 45 00:02:46,257 --> 00:02:48,977 Speaker 1: legally to this country. I might add I do not 46 00:02:49,177 --> 00:02:52,417 Speaker 1: agree that illegals who have a child here. I do 47 00:02:52,497 --> 00:02:56,417 Speaker 1: not believe in birthright citizenship for illegals. I think that 48 00:02:56,417 --> 00:02:59,817 Speaker 1: that's crazy idea. Actually, if any other nation state had this, 49 00:02:59,937 --> 00:03:03,177 Speaker 1: you would say, well, that's that makes no sense. This 50 00:03:03,337 --> 00:03:08,537 Speaker 1: is not the case in a whole range of other civilized, developed, 51 00:03:08,737 --> 00:03:11,337 Speaker 1: rule of law countries, So why should it be the 52 00:03:11,337 --> 00:03:18,697 Speaker 1: case here. There's a tremendous amount of lying and dare 53 00:03:18,737 --> 00:03:22,217 Speaker 1: I say disinformation around the immigration issue. And I will 54 00:03:22,217 --> 00:03:25,337 Speaker 1: say this, I also disagree, and this has come up 55 00:03:25,377 --> 00:03:29,257 Speaker 1: more recently. I disagree with this presentation of America as 56 00:03:29,337 --> 00:03:34,497 Speaker 1: just a creed that you can ascribe to or you 57 00:03:34,537 --> 00:03:37,977 Speaker 1: can subscribe to. Rather and that this is like the 58 00:03:38,057 --> 00:03:40,897 Speaker 1: vi vague piece that was written recently, like oh you 59 00:03:41,017 --> 00:03:43,057 Speaker 1: just you say you're American. You know, you come here 60 00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:45,417 Speaker 1: and you say, oh, I like the Constitution and apple 61 00:03:45,457 --> 00:03:48,217 Speaker 1: pie and you're American. It doesn't really work that way either. 62 00:03:49,537 --> 00:03:52,297 Speaker 1: America is what it is because it was a country 63 00:03:52,457 --> 00:04:00,097 Speaker 1: built overwhelmingly by Western European Christians, particularly Anglo Saxon Protestants, 64 00:04:00,177 --> 00:04:05,057 Speaker 1: in the earliest phase and then black Americans. Obviously, this 65 00:04:05,177 --> 00:04:12,057 Speaker 1: is a very challenging and sensitive and tragic part of 66 00:04:12,097 --> 00:04:15,257 Speaker 1: our history in so far as the slave trade is 67 00:04:15,257 --> 00:04:20,977 Speaker 1: what began it. But black Americans played an important role 68 00:04:21,417 --> 00:04:25,417 Speaker 1: in the formation of this nation. But no, people that 69 00:04:25,497 --> 00:04:28,417 Speaker 1: have arrived here in the last few years from Yemen 70 00:04:28,817 --> 00:04:32,417 Speaker 1: did not play an important role in the creation of 71 00:04:32,457 --> 00:04:35,137 Speaker 1: this country. Okay, they did not forge it with their 72 00:04:35,177 --> 00:04:37,937 Speaker 1: own two hands as pioneers in the woods, like they 73 00:04:37,937 --> 00:04:40,457 Speaker 1: had no role in any of this. And it's interesting, 74 00:04:40,497 --> 00:04:44,097 Speaker 1: America is really about Americans. And this is a different 75 00:04:44,137 --> 00:04:47,337 Speaker 1: thing than what is being presented, which is just anybody 76 00:04:47,417 --> 00:04:51,977 Speaker 1: who says I will check the box that I believe 77 00:04:52,017 --> 00:04:55,977 Speaker 1: in your American ideals, which we fight about constantly in 78 00:04:56,017 --> 00:04:57,417 Speaker 1: this country, I might add, but I believe in your 79 00:04:57,457 --> 00:05:01,977 Speaker 1: American ideals, is somehow American. No, that's not true. That's 80 00:05:02,017 --> 00:05:05,577 Speaker 1: not true. Somebody who arrived five minutes ago from Somalia, 81 00:05:06,937 --> 00:05:10,017 Speaker 1: even if they're let's say, pending asylum hearing or even 82 00:05:10,177 --> 00:05:11,697 Speaker 1: if they get a green card, they are not as 83 00:05:11,697 --> 00:05:15,177 Speaker 1: American as I am. Just a fact. It's very obvious, right, 84 00:05:16,337 --> 00:05:19,737 Speaker 1: and yet we're told that it's just the it's just belief. 85 00:05:20,177 --> 00:05:22,937 Speaker 1: It's almost like your gender. If you believe then it is, well, 86 00:05:22,937 --> 00:05:26,417 Speaker 1: that's not really true either, and maybe we could have 87 00:05:26,497 --> 00:05:31,697 Speaker 1: a conversation about there's different levels of Americanness. That's clearly 88 00:05:31,697 --> 00:05:33,497 Speaker 1: the case, right, because you can be kind of pre 89 00:05:33,657 --> 00:05:36,937 Speaker 1: American if you're waiting for your Green card, and then 90 00:05:37,017 --> 00:05:39,137 Speaker 1: you can be a Green card holder but not a citizen. 91 00:05:39,417 --> 00:05:43,337 Speaker 1: So this whole thing is structured in a way that 92 00:05:43,377 --> 00:05:46,457 Speaker 1: there are different levels of you know, were you born here, 93 00:05:46,457 --> 00:05:50,297 Speaker 1: and were your parents born here? And are you historically 94 00:05:50,337 --> 00:05:54,457 Speaker 1: aligned with and from this country? These things all matter. 95 00:05:54,697 --> 00:05:59,057 Speaker 1: If I were to move to Japan next year, in 96 00:05:59,097 --> 00:06:02,817 Speaker 1: a couple of years, maybe I would be lawfully in Japan, 97 00:06:02,937 --> 00:06:07,057 Speaker 1: but I would not be as Japanese as the rest 98 00:06:07,097 --> 00:06:09,777 Speaker 1: of the Japanese people. I would be maybe in process 99 00:06:10,457 --> 00:06:14,097 Speaker 1: of adopting their Japanese ness. But we can see this 100 00:06:14,137 --> 00:06:17,057 Speaker 1: in every other country but our own. And it's increasingly 101 00:06:17,137 --> 00:06:21,097 Speaker 1: clear that there is an effort to convince Americans that 102 00:06:21,817 --> 00:06:24,617 Speaker 1: it's not that we are unique and distinct as a 103 00:06:24,657 --> 00:06:27,937 Speaker 1: people in this world, on this planet, but that we're 104 00:06:27,977 --> 00:06:31,017 Speaker 1: just kind of an economic zone. You know, we're like 105 00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:34,377 Speaker 1: a free trade economic zone, and welfare ward for the 106 00:06:34,377 --> 00:06:37,017 Speaker 1: rest of the world and just show up and be like, yeah, sure, 107 00:06:37,057 --> 00:06:39,737 Speaker 1: I like the Constitution in whatever language you want to speak, 108 00:06:39,737 --> 00:06:42,137 Speaker 1: by the way, not even English, and know nothing about 109 00:06:42,137 --> 00:06:44,697 Speaker 1: the Constitution, but just show up, so, yeah, sure, I 110 00:06:44,737 --> 00:06:48,257 Speaker 1: want a piece of your America and you're American. No, sorry, 111 00:06:48,737 --> 00:06:51,617 Speaker 1: it's not how it works. And this is an ongoing conversation. 112 00:06:51,697 --> 00:06:53,897 Speaker 1: I understand there are nuances, and I understand that there 113 00:06:53,977 --> 00:06:57,337 Speaker 1: are sensitivities of course at play, but we have to 114 00:06:57,377 --> 00:06:59,657 Speaker 1: speak honestly about these things. And I think that's very 115 00:06:59,737 --> 00:07:05,137 Speaker 1: very important. So immigration and with it the legal aspects, 116 00:07:05,177 --> 00:07:08,137 Speaker 1: but also what is it to be an American? It 117 00:07:08,217 --> 00:07:11,097 Speaker 1: is not just a person who says is I believe 118 00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,777 Speaker 1: in free speech and the Constitution and I like apple 119 00:07:13,817 --> 00:07:18,017 Speaker 1: pie too. No, there's more than that, and there's also 120 00:07:18,137 --> 00:07:21,577 Speaker 1: levels within that, and that is a reflection of the 121 00:07:21,617 --> 00:07:23,937 Speaker 1: reality that we all live in and people should be 122 00:07:23,977 --> 00:07:26,177 Speaker 1: able to speak honestly about it. Our sponsor here is 123 00:07:26,217 --> 00:07:28,257 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College. I was just talking about the founding.

Our founding fathers are the 126 00:07:34,457 --> 00:07:36,737 Speaker 1: first ones to recognize that the stories of hard work, 127 00:07:36,777 --> 00:07:39,617 Speaker 1: willing to risk it all, triumphing over England's powerful military. 128 00:07:39,617 --> 00:07:42,457 Speaker 1: It's such a great story.

And I 148 00:08:51,657 --> 00:08:56,657 Speaker 1: got married three years ago and it's all be coming 149 00:08:56,737 --> 00:09:00,017 Speaker 1: up on my three year anniversary in February. But I 150 00:09:00,217 --> 00:09:02,337 Speaker 1: so that was that was amazing. I have a wonderful 151 00:09:02,377 --> 00:09:05,577 Speaker 1: wife I love very much, and I'm very proud of 152 00:09:05,697 --> 00:09:10,377 Speaker 1: and feel very blessed to have had her say yes 153 00:09:10,417 --> 00:09:13,817 Speaker 1: and to marry me. I In this past year though, 154 00:09:13,817 --> 00:09:19,857 Speaker 1: I had a baby, baby boy, James Speed Sexton, and 155 00:09:19,897 --> 00:09:23,257 Speaker 1: being a dad is just the best. I love being 156 00:09:23,257 --> 00:09:28,497 Speaker 1: a dad, spending time with my son. It's as it's 157 00:09:28,497 --> 00:09:33,817 Speaker 1: as incredible and perspective changing, and it gives you all 158 00:09:33,937 --> 00:09:36,337 Speaker 1: of the meaning all these things that people have been 159 00:09:36,337 --> 00:09:39,017 Speaker 1: saying who have been parents for a long time. So 160 00:09:39,057 --> 00:09:40,777 Speaker 1: this is my way of saying. Twenty twenty five was 161 00:09:40,777 --> 00:09:43,257 Speaker 1: honestly one of the best years of my life. And 162 00:09:43,297 --> 00:09:46,777 Speaker 1: that's it was a great year. With the Trump administration overall, yeah, 163 00:09:46,777 --> 00:09:50,137 Speaker 1: there's complaints and everything else. I don't view my life 164 00:09:50,177 --> 00:09:52,377 Speaker 1: as coinciding with you know, things are going well for 165 00:09:52,417 --> 00:09:54,377 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, it's going well in my life. No, 166 00:09:55,457 --> 00:09:59,617 Speaker 1: I live separately or I have a life separate from politics. 167 00:10:00,257 --> 00:10:02,857 Speaker 1: But I'm just in general, this has been a really 168 00:10:02,857 --> 00:10:06,417 Speaker 1: good year. I've had overall very good health. My little baby, 169 00:10:06,457 --> 00:10:08,857 Speaker 1: he's been amazing, My wife has been great, spent a 170 00:10:08,897 --> 00:10:11,057 Speaker 1: lot of time with friends, loved ones, and I just 171 00:10:11,417 --> 00:10:13,657 Speaker 1: you know, the country is not at war, We're not 172 00:10:13,697 --> 00:10:18,657 Speaker 1: going through some pandemic or some horrific ordeal. We're actually 173 00:10:18,657 --> 00:10:23,337 Speaker 1: doing quite well. And I'm always a big proponent of 174 00:10:24,697 --> 00:10:26,577 Speaker 1: for those of you who had a really good year, 175 00:10:27,577 --> 00:10:30,257 Speaker 1: take you know, and whatever that means for you, take 176 00:10:30,297 --> 00:10:32,617 Speaker 1: stock of that. Take a moment, whether just go take 177 00:10:32,617 --> 00:10:35,497 Speaker 1: a walk outside, go walk in nature, and think, this 178 00:10:35,577 --> 00:10:41,537 Speaker 1: has been a really good year for me, and celebrate that. 179 00:10:41,857 --> 00:10:45,497 Speaker 1: Enjoy those moments, because I think it's so important for 180 00:10:45,577 --> 00:10:51,497 Speaker 1: your brain, so important for your soul to count your 181 00:10:51,497 --> 00:10:55,017 Speaker 1: blessings and to revel in the goodness that is in 182 00:10:55,057 --> 00:10:59,337 Speaker 1: your life and all around you. I would say it's 183 00:10:59,617 --> 00:11:02,217 Speaker 1: also something that helps you when you're in dark times, 184 00:11:02,217 --> 00:11:04,657 Speaker 1: which we all go through. I've certainly gone through. When 185 00:11:04,657 --> 00:11:07,857 Speaker 1: you're in dark periods, that you can remind yourself, well, 186 00:11:07,897 --> 00:11:11,457 Speaker 1: I've had a really had had really good times too. 187 00:11:11,697 --> 00:11:15,857 Speaker 1: I'll get back there or I'll have them again, and 188 00:11:15,897 --> 00:11:19,057 Speaker 1: you will figure out a way. I think that can 189 00:11:19,097 --> 00:11:22,457 Speaker 1: be very useful when you're going through challenging period. And 190 00:11:22,457 --> 00:11:24,577 Speaker 1: I will also say this if you are having if 191 00:11:24,577 --> 00:11:26,697 Speaker 1: you had a challenge in twenty twenty five, I'm sure 192 00:11:26,737 --> 00:11:30,137 Speaker 1: that's true for some of you. Just always remember the 193 00:11:30,177 --> 00:11:35,537 Speaker 1: great thing about about coming to the end of the 194 00:11:35,577 --> 00:11:38,337 Speaker 1: year is that a new year begins and you get 195 00:11:38,617 --> 00:11:41,257 Speaker 1: a start. Yes, I know it doesn't just like reset 196 00:11:41,297 --> 00:11:43,577 Speaker 1: the clock on everything in your life, but you get 197 00:11:43,577 --> 00:11:46,577 Speaker 1: a start of a new narrative. Because we really do 198 00:11:46,657 --> 00:11:50,737 Speaker 1: think in stories. We remember our lives in stories. We 199 00:11:51,537 --> 00:11:55,657 Speaker 1: think about Look look at the Bible. The Bible is stories, right. 200 00:11:55,977 --> 00:11:59,977 Speaker 1: Our understanding of the world around us is formed in stories. 201 00:12:00,577 --> 00:12:03,297 Speaker 1: And you get to start a new one in twenty 202 00:12:03,377 --> 00:12:05,617 Speaker 1: twenty six. So I think that's if you had a 203 00:12:05,657 --> 00:12:10,377 Speaker 1: tough year. You know, I had a I think twenty 204 00:12:10,457 --> 00:12:13,417 Speaker 1: twenty three was just for a bunch of reasons, a 205 00:12:13,417 --> 00:12:18,057 Speaker 1: tough year for me. Twenty four got better, a bunch better, 206 00:12:18,617 --> 00:12:24,297 Speaker 1: and then twenty five got was great. You know. So 207 00:12:24,817 --> 00:12:27,297 Speaker 1: things are trending in the right direction. Maybe they are 208 00:12:27,337 --> 00:12:31,497 Speaker 1: for you, or maybe you had the opposite, but we're 209 00:12:31,497 --> 00:12:34,377 Speaker 1: all going to have these ups and downs. I think overall, 210 00:12:34,417 --> 00:12:36,377 Speaker 1: the If you're asking me for the country, I mean 211 00:12:36,377 --> 00:12:39,377 Speaker 1: to look at this at a thirty thousand foot view 212 00:12:39,417 --> 00:12:41,697 Speaker 1: of America. I think this has been a very good year. 213 00:12:42,457 --> 00:12:45,457 Speaker 1: I think that America did very well overall. I think 214 00:12:45,457 --> 00:12:48,697 Speaker 1: the Trump administration is doing very well. It feels like 215 00:12:48,777 --> 00:12:52,177 Speaker 1: there has been a restoration of sanity, not just in politics, 216 00:12:52,217 --> 00:12:55,937 Speaker 1: but in our discourse. It feels like the madness of 217 00:12:56,177 --> 00:13:01,177 Speaker 1: COVID has receded finally and we're no longer we have 218 00:13:01,457 --> 00:13:06,937 Speaker 1: really no major elements of that still lingering. So that's 219 00:13:06,937 --> 00:13:11,537 Speaker 1: really important. So yeah, our sponsor is pre Preborn does 220 00:13:11,537 --> 00:13:14,737 Speaker 1: amazing work saving the lives of babies that could be 221 00:13:14,777 --> 00:13:16,457 Speaker 1: at risk of abortion. And what they do is they 222 00:13:16,497 --> 00:13:18,497 Speaker 1: have these clinics across the country. I've been to one, 223 00:13:19,057 --> 00:13:21,537 Speaker 1: and they invite moms to be who have a baby, 224 00:13:21,577 --> 00:13:23,777 Speaker 1: who have a baby, or rather are pregnant and have 225 00:13:23,777 --> 00:13:27,937 Speaker 1: a baby in the womb, and they say, look, I 226 00:13:27,977 --> 00:13:30,377 Speaker 1: know you're getting pressure maybe to get an abortion. You're scared. 227 00:13:30,777 --> 00:13:32,697 Speaker 1: Let's have you meet your baby in an ultrasound. Let's 228 00:13:32,697 --> 00:13:34,377 Speaker 1: talk about your options and talk about how we can 229 00:13:34,377 --> 00:13:36,937 Speaker 1: help you. And just by doing that by introducing mom 230 00:13:36,977 --> 00:13:38,897 Speaker 1: to the tiny baby in her womb. They save so 231 00:13:39,657 --> 00:13:43,057 Speaker 1: many lives. Preborn needs your help, though they get no 232 00:13:43,097 --> 00:13:46,297 Speaker 1: government money. Twenty eight dollars provides a free ultrasound to 233 00:13:46,337 --> 00:13:49,497 Speaker 1: women like Victoria, who went into one of their clinics 234 00:13:49,537 --> 00:13:53,097 Speaker 1: and was saved from the decision that was being pushed 235 00:13:53,097 --> 00:13:55,057 Speaker 1: on her, which was take the abortion pillar in some 236 00:13:55,137 --> 00:13:58,417 Speaker 1: other clinic in a planned parenthood.

So yeah, 242 00:14:17,977 --> 00:14:24,177 Speaker 1: and now, as for next year, what am I looking at? 243 00:14:24,897 --> 00:14:26,577 Speaker 1: I think twenty six is going to be a great year. 244 00:14:27,617 --> 00:14:29,537 Speaker 1: I think we're going to get really geared up for 245 00:14:29,617 --> 00:14:33,337 Speaker 1: the midterms politically, and starting really in the summertime, things 246 00:14:33,377 --> 00:14:36,497 Speaker 1: are going to get interesting there. Really, the future of 247 00:14:36,537 --> 00:14:39,057 Speaker 1: Trump's agenda hangs in the balance at some level of 248 00:14:39,057 --> 00:14:42,977 Speaker 1: that because if the Democrats win, they're going to impeach 249 00:14:42,977 --> 00:14:45,257 Speaker 1: Trump again. They're going to do everything that they can 250 00:14:46,137 --> 00:14:49,937 Speaker 1: to just bring the gears of government to a grinding 251 00:14:50,017 --> 00:14:54,137 Speaker 1: halt to try to stop Trump from enacting his agendas. 252 00:14:54,137 --> 00:14:57,177 Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot to be focused in 253 00:14:57,217 --> 00:15:00,497 Speaker 1: on there. I also think the economy is going to 254 00:15:00,537 --> 00:15:05,377 Speaker 1: get to a even better place than it is right now. 255 00:15:05,537 --> 00:15:06,857 Speaker 1: I know some people are saying, oh, there's going to 256 00:15:06,857 --> 00:15:09,657 Speaker 1: be a recession. They've predicted fifty of the last two recessions. 257 00:15:09,697 --> 00:15:11,577 Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried about that, and I could 258 00:15:11,617 --> 00:15:15,897 Speaker 1: be wrong, but probably i'm not. And I think that 259 00:15:16,017 --> 00:15:19,257 Speaker 1: it's going to be a year where we really see 260 00:15:19,977 --> 00:15:24,617 Speaker 1: a lot of fascinating things happen. And I mean this 261 00:15:24,697 --> 00:15:28,257 Speaker 1: even beyond politics. The world is changing so quickly all 262 00:15:28,297 --> 00:15:33,297 Speaker 1: around us with artificial intelligence and the technological leaps that 263 00:15:33,337 --> 00:15:37,257 Speaker 1: are just just galloping, just wanted. Everything is going to 264 00:15:37,337 --> 00:15:40,097 Speaker 1: be so different. I got little robots delivering cheeseburgers outside 265 00:15:40,137 --> 00:15:42,897 Speaker 1: my house right now. It's a real thing. If I 266 00:15:43,017 --> 00:15:44,937 Speaker 1: told you that ten years ago to be like, come on, 267 00:15:44,977 --> 00:15:47,697 Speaker 1: We're not no there right now, little robots driving around, 268 00:15:47,737 --> 00:15:51,377 Speaker 1: no person controlling it, well they control them remotely, but 269 00:15:51,457 --> 00:15:55,297 Speaker 1: no person actually with eyes on, and they are driving 270 00:15:55,297 --> 00:15:57,617 Speaker 1: around delivering food. You're going to have this for Amazon 271 00:15:57,697 --> 00:16:01,497 Speaker 1: packages soon. You're going to have people who are getting packages. 272 00:16:01,497 --> 00:16:03,737 Speaker 1: They're brought to them by drone. Think about how that's 273 00:16:03,737 --> 00:16:06,297 Speaker 1: going to improve. You could live off grid somewhere and 274 00:16:06,337 --> 00:16:09,137 Speaker 1: the Amazon drone comes probably within twenty four hours to 275 00:16:09,217 --> 00:16:13,137 Speaker 1: drop off whatever you know eat. Also, in transport and 276 00:16:13,257 --> 00:16:17,177 Speaker 1: Miami to Palm Beach, they're already talking about these air taxis. 277 00:16:17,577 --> 00:16:20,537 Speaker 1: They're kind of like almost like a hovercraft looking thing, 278 00:16:20,817 --> 00:16:23,417 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be able to take people on this 279 00:16:23,457 --> 00:16:25,857 Speaker 1: specific route because there's so much traffic to get it 280 00:16:25,857 --> 00:16:27,417 Speaker 1: to them. I never really go to Palm Beach because 281 00:16:27,417 --> 00:16:29,937 Speaker 1: it's such a nightmare with the traffic. And then just 282 00:16:30,137 --> 00:16:33,497 Speaker 1: with artificial intellig I use AI now every day. I 283 00:16:33,897 --> 00:16:36,337 Speaker 1: ask it questions. I say, how do I fix this 284 00:16:36,417 --> 00:16:39,217 Speaker 1: light bulb that's broken or you know whatever. I guess 285 00:16:39,257 --> 00:16:40,697 Speaker 1: you'll fix the bull but you know what I mean, 286 00:16:41,137 --> 00:16:44,017 Speaker 1: how do you do all these different things? So we 287 00:16:44,137 --> 00:16:47,977 Speaker 1: certainly live in interesting times. As the old what the 288 00:16:48,097 --> 00:16:50,377 Speaker 1: old fortune cookie saying, may you live in interesting times? 289 00:16:51,217 --> 00:16:53,617 Speaker 1: We certainly live in interesting times, and I think it's 290 00:16:53,657 --> 00:16:55,457 Speaker 1: going to be even more so. So I'm expecting big 291 00:16:55,497 --> 00:16:57,177 Speaker 1: things for next year.
