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

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

3
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, Bring You're a great American Again

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No.

5
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca back in the chair for Buck Sexton. I

6
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: am here tonight tomorrow, and we'll say goodbye to twenty

7
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: twenty between tonight and tomorrow. I won't be here on

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. That's the best of Buck. But I

9
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: am here tonight and we're going to take care of business,

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: try and cover everything we can, dealing with what's going

11
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: on in DC and some other stuff happening around the

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: world as well as we're going to look ahead to

13
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: next week. As you know, we've got the runoff elections

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: in Georgia and we're going to try and track down

15
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: Scott Pressler. He's one of the people who's knocking on

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 1: doors and trying to make sure the Republicans win those

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: runoffs in Georgia, and we'll find out what he's up to.

18
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: We also have the Joint Session of Congress where the

19
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: electoral votes will be certified or contested, and we're hearing

20
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: there is going to be some contesting, so we will

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: deal with that, and there may be some rallies on

22
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: the streets, and we're anticipating some pretty large crowds that

23
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: are going to be there. And one of the people

24
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: who will be there is one of my favorite people

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: of all in the world of journalism and media. She's

26
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: someday I just met this year for the first time.

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: Her name is Tracy Beans. She is the brains behind

28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Uncovered DC dot com. Uncovered DC dot com as a

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: website you should be visiting if you are not. And

30
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: in addition to the commitment to finding the truth and

31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: putting the truth out there without fear or favor, as

32
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: they used to say at The New York Times, but

33
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: they really mean it at Uncovered DC, Tracy is also

34
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: one of the nicest people you'd ever meet in your

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: whole life, and so I'm really thrilled she's here with us.

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I'm going to put her in

37
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: the top ten of all the people I know on

38
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: the planet. Tracy Bean's my friend. Welcome. Hi, that's so,

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: how do I thank you? Oh? You're welcome. See now

40
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,959
Speaker 1: you get it. A lot of people don't understand how

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: to take a compliment and the only way to take

42
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: a compliment is not to reject it, is not to

43
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: diminish yourself, but just to simply say thank you. Wow,

44
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: thanks Casey. And now back to the countdown. So Tracy

45
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Bean's at Uncovered DC a place that you should go

46
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: and visit. Is just as I said, one of my

47
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: favorite people. But she's a journalist dedicated to finding the truth,

48
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: sharing the truth, etc. And I want to talk about

49
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: next week and what's happening on the sixth of January.

50
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: But you've got you've always got something bubbling over at

51
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: Uncovered DC. What is bubbling? What can you tease us with? Well,

52
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: it's bubbling a little bit, you know, Um, there's in

53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the COVID world, people are just really getting fed up, Mike.

54
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: I think you're you're you know, you're seeing the clips

55
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: of restaurant owners, you know, joining in in warehouses with

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of their restaurant owner friends and just proclaiming

57
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: they're going to ignore these shutdowns, and new data is

58
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: coming out about them. You know how how asymptomatic spread

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: is not a thing, which is something we've been talking

60
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: about for months, almost a year now. Well, now, brave

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: people are starting to step forward and talk about the

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: politicization of the lockdowns, why they why they decided to

63
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: lockdown in the face of data that didn't really jive

64
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: with the conclusion. And so I've got a piece that

65
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm working on which will cover somebody very brave, a

66
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: couple of people actually willing to put their names on

67
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: the record and come forward about some things going on

68
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: in Nevada. Okay, they're going to actually allow their names

69
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: in print. They're not afraid of being docked or threatened

70
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: or all that stuff. Way past that point. As I

71
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: think I said to you very early in the beginning,

72
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: I don't like to print stories without on the record sources.

73
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: And in a rare occasion like this where somebody actually

74
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: has the guts to stand up for what's right, it's

75
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: really really awesome to be able to print their name

76
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: and have them stand by it. And it's going to

77
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: be something. I hate teasers, but I'm not done with

78
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 1: it yet, so good it'll be something. Well when you

79
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: say it's something. And as Tracy Beans did say, she

80
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: likes to be on the record at all times with

81
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: confirmed sources, not saying if true. No, she's got the

82
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: statements from the people. So this is a good thing,

83
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be waiting with bated breath, as

84
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: they say, and hopefully today good good, good good. So

85
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: here's the deal, people, You just put uncovered DC dot

86
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: com in your browser. Give it, you know, give it

87
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: a link, save the link, and go there every day

88
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: and you'll be smarter. You might even play better on

89
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: Jeopardy if you go there every single day, which I'm

90
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: already missing Alex Trebek? Can I say that before we

91
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: talk about next week? Are you like me? Are you

92
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: missing Alex Trebek because we're out of new Alex Trebeck

93
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: episodes on Jeopardy. He was just a great man. I

94
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: didn't know him personally, obviously, but it was just great.

95
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: He reminds me of my grandma my grandpa, like being

96
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: at their house and having dinner over there when my

97
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: parents were working and just they were watching Jeopardy, and

98
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: it just reminds me of my childhood. Oh. I thought

99
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: you were going to say they asked you questions over dinner.

100
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: Well they did. Oh good, good. Well that's good too

101
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: that I learned a lot on Jeopardy. Well you do.

102
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: Just by watching it, your IQ can go up ten points.

103
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. And I was such a big fan,

104
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: but I'm in such an add mode as we get

105
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: to the end of the year. I bounced around on topics,

106
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: but I want to be laser focused about next week. Washington,

107
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: d C. January sixth is a big day with a

108
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Joint Session of Congress. But more than the five hundred

109
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: and thirty five people gathered, they are going to be

110
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I imagine maybe five hundred thousand people showing up. I

111
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: think there'll be more, Mike, Honestly, I think there will

112
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: be more people here this time than the first go

113
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: round when we spoke, only because the first go round

114
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: was completely organic ressroots thing. There was no direction from

115
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: President Trump. This time he asked for people to come.

116
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people who did not

117
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: make the trip the other two times that will be

118
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: coming to DC this time. As a matter of fact,

119
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: it's getting so big that the Hotel Harrington, it appears,

120
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: has now They wrote this letter. Do you want me

121
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: to read it real quick? Yeaick, yeah, sure. This is

122
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: one of the hotels that was supposed to be taking

123
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: reservations from people coming for this rally. Yeah. So yesterday

124
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: they put out this statement Washington, DC has been our

125
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: home for one hundred and six years. We join with

126
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: all of our guests, visitors, staff, and neighbors in our

127
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: concern and desire for everyone's health and safety. We appreciate

128
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: the trust our guests have placed in us over the years.

129
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: We wish to continue to earn it. We can't control

130
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 1: what happens outside. We are taking additional steps to protect

131
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: the safety of our visitors, guests, and employees. Hotel Harrington

132
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: will be closed on January fourth, fifth, and sixth. We

133
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: will not be accommodating guests, with the exception of our

134
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: long term residents who call our hotel home. Refunds will

135
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: be made for all prepaid reservations. Notifications are being sent

136
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: to all reservation holders beginning today. Wow. So this is

137
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: one of the hotels that was expecting guests who were

138
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: going to be attending rallies and events on January sixth.

139
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Aimed at what some are using the hashtag stop the

140
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: Steel and to overturn the current results of the election

141
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: and decertify the Electoral College votes. And they are worried

142
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: about I guess violence. I think they just don't they

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: want to deter people from coming. I think that, you know,

144
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Mayor Bowser before the last event, changed COVID restrictions for

145
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: quarantine and all kinds of other things trying to deter

146
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,359
Speaker 1: people from coming in. But you know that's not happening.

147
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: People are still coming and it's going to be interesting

148
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: to see what happens that day with all of these

149
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: people in DC from all in the middle of the week,

150
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: mind you, Mike, Yeah, this is a Wednesday. It's a

151
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: big midweek thing. I have a reservation. I'm planning on

152
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: getting into town on the evening of the fifth, having

153
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: a half smoke at Ben's Chili Bowl, you know, getting

154
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: a good hotdog and chili in me before getting up

155
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: early Wednesday and attending whatever is going on. So I

156
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: will be in DC. I was not staying at that

157
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: hotel that is telling people we're closing, but I will be.

158
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: I know, I can't. This is I'm wondering if there

159
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: has been pressure from the left to tell hotels to

160
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: close down. Well, I know that there's a lot of

161
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: price gouging going on also, Mike, Well, I can tell

162
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: you this. If you're a smart shopper like me, and

163
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: you use an app like Hotel Tonight, you're not going

164
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 1: to be gouged. I can tell you I got a

165
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. It's crazy because I think that the

166
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: Trump Hotel is now at forty six hundred dollars a night.

167
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: Get out, seriously, four six hundred dollars a night for

168
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: the What do you get? You better get Donald and

169
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: Milania bringing you dinner, literally serving you in bed right. Wow.

170
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to ask you where you're staying,

171
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not going to tell people where I

172
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: am staying. But I am within walking distance of everything.

173
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: So I have plans to be in DC and you

174
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: and I better make a connection to cover whatever's going

175
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: on there. I will tell you I'm trying to use

176
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: every last favor I have to see if might be

177
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: able to get into the White House, oh on that day,

178
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: because I think getting a one day temporary press pass

179
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: to the White House that would be the place to be.

180
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: I would say there's going to be some fireworks there.

181
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: It seems like things are shaping up like this strategy

182
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: of decertification is kind of going all the way here.

183
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: It looks like Pennsylvania released some information yesterday. It's really

184
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: going to fall on some of these governors. But I

185
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: think that these congressmen and senators have more than enough

186
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: information in their hands or should to debate these issues,

187
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: and at the very worst case, you know, just prolong

188
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: and delay this to bring it to a House vote,

189
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: in which case on January sixth, we may be celebrating.

190
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: I would hope, so, I would hope. So the numbers

191
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Pennsylvania seemed to show that there

192
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: were more than two hundred thousand votes than they have

193
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: registered voters. No, wasn't that. That wasn't it. No, that

194
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: wasn't it. It was there were more than two hundred

195
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: thousand votes. Then they say people voted, Well, that's it.

196
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of the same thing. No, No,

197
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: because there are six million registered voters in in Pennsylvania.

198
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: So basically what they did was they took the total

199
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: ballots cast and then the total votes counted from the

200
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: county data and Shore data the short system, which is

201
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: what actually calculates everything at the end of the day,

202
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: and they subtracted the difference between the two of them

203
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: to find that two hundred and two thousand, three hundred

204
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: and seventy seven more ballots were cast than voters who voted,

205
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: So that would be enough to bridge the margin that

206
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: has been declared. Now, is this going anywhere or is

207
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: this going to be part of the January sixth that's discussion.

208
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: They're calling for them to decertify Pennsylvania's results. That's what

209
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: they're calling for, and Arizona apparently has an announcement coming

210
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: as well. I think that, if anything, this will be

211
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: in the arsenal of debate materials that these congressmen and

212
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: senators will have at their disposal when they're trying to

213
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: debate electoral votes. And to be honest, I shared a

214
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: thread yesterday, Mike from some folks who put together other

215
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: people objecting to electoral college votes on the floor in

216
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: other elections passed because it's not all that you know

217
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: of an obscure practice. The Democrats do it all the time. Yeah,

218
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: it seems like every time a Republican has won in

219
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: recent years, the Democrats have spent this day of certification

220
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: protesting and ultimately getting gaveled down. But they didn't have

221
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: the evidence we have here, nor did they have the

222
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: alternate slates of electors which we have here, and that

223
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: is the critical difference. Tracy Beans, I'm up against the wall,

224
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: but I have to tell you I will see you

225
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: in DC god willing next week and let's stand up

226
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: for what's right. Amen. Happy New Year to everyone too,

227
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: and a happy New Year to you, and a happy

228
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: New Year to all of you listening to the Buck

229
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Pelka stepping aside for a couple. We'll

230
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: be right back. You're in the Freedom Heart. This is

231
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Welcome back to the Buck

232
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Pelca, the Godfather, if you will, sitting

233
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck. Happy to be here, thrilled

234
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: to be here hanging out with you. Many many things

235
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: to get to today. I do want to focus on

236
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: some of the some of the madness around the Georgia runoffs,

237
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the money the Georgia runoffs

238
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: they have raised since the election day. Since November third,

239
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: the Georgia runoffs have brought in three hundred and fifty

240
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: million dollars between the four candidates, more than two hundred

241
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: million to the Democrats. Think about that, two hundred million

242
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: dollars for these two Democrat candidates, really with no track record,

243
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: and they've already spent their money. They're putting out the

244
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: word today that they need more money. If they're going

245
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: to compete, they have to have more millions. Now, most

246
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: of this money's coming, obviously from out of the state,

247
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: outside of the state, a lot of it from Hollywood.

248
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: The Republicans have raised over one hundred and fifty million dollars,

249
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: So you have all this money pouring in for two

250
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: Senate seats. Three hundred and fifty million dollars will probably

251
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: hit four hundred million by the time the election rolls

252
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: around a week from today. It's a staggering amount of money,

253
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: and it shows you how important these elections are. But

254
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats are starting to get a little concerned. We're

255
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: hearing the Democrat establishment is saying, why are we pumping

256
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: money into this state. We saw down ballot races not

257
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: go the way we anticipated. We saw down ballot races

258
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: all across the country. How many House seats did Nancy

259
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: Pelosi lose? Virtually every contested House seat went to a Republican.

260
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: And it looks like as every day grows longer in

261
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: the Georgia race, we hear more and more stories about

262
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: the crazy allegations against these candidates. This Warnock guy and

263
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: the camp he was involved with. I know Kelly Lefler

264
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,239
Speaker 1: is saying that the allegations of abuse against the campers

265
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: that are now rising up that they should be disqualifying.

266
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: We will see, you know what we should do. There's

267
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: a guy named Scott Pressler who's out knocking on doors

268
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: in Georgia, and I think I can get a hold

269
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: of him and we'll get the straight scoop from Scott Pressler.

270
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: You should know Scott. You've seen him. He's all over

271
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: the place on Fox. He's a very tall young man.

272
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: I think he's just nineteen years old. This was the

273
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: first election he voted in. And he's a conservative and

274
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: he said, I'm also a gay man, a gay conservative,

275
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: which is a new demographic for the GOP and I'm

276
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: happy to see it developing. So I think we'll get

277
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: Scott Pressel around the show tonight. I'm also going to

278
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: play the host privilege card, and a little bit later,

279
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: I want you to meet a friend of mine is

280
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: a survival guy. Was one of the youngest Boy Scouts ever.

281
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: I think it was a Boy Scout or reached the

282
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: Eagle Scout at the time. He was about fifteen years old,

283
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: might have been the sekest, second youngest Eagle Scout. Ever,

284
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: his name is Kreek Stewart and he's got a TV

285
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: show that's all about survival. It's on the Weather Channel.

286
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: He's got a new one coming out, and I want

287
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: to bug him about the new show and get some

288
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 1: stories out of him, because he's a fantastic guy. Especially now.

289
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: You should know how to survive, especially in the time

290
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: of the COVID, So it'll be an interesting rest of

291
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: the program. Second hour on the way, Michael Pelca with

Speaker 1: to be here in the Freedom Hunt, actually broadcasting from

299
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: the constitutionally protected free speech bunker in the woods of Delaware.

300
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: That's where I make my home. And yes, I am

301
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: surrounded by intolerable liberals, but at least I have good

302
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: conservative friends like my buddy Jonathan Honigg of The Capitalist Pig,

303
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: and I've tapped on Jonathan, so we can get into

304
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,959
Speaker 1: some of the craziness around the markets and bitcoin and

305
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Jonathan Honig, it's been too long,

306
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: my friend. Welcome back, sir Mike, thank you for having back.

307
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. My god, what a year has it been.

308
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked a few times over the year,

309
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,640
Speaker 1: and at each time it seems that there's new twist

310
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: turns drama, certainly when it comes to the COVID pandemic,

311
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: but when it comes to the markets and the economy

312
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: as well. The good news is we're ending on a

313
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: high note. I mean, low unemployments, high stock prices. You

314
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: mentioned insulation, worries of inflation, but still low inflation, and

315
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: something called bitcoin up there at twenty five, twenty six,

316
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight, eight thousand dollars a coin. My god, what

317
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: a year it's been. Yeah, I'm wondering does any of

318
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: this make sense? You know, because if I think about

319
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: the overall feeling on the street, on main Street, not

320
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: on Wall Street, a lot of people are nervous. People

321
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: are nervous about their jobs. We have all these restaurants

322
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: that are going away, small businesses are at risk, and yet,

323
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: like you said, stock market record highs. We've got unemployment

324
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: at a kind of a reasonable level, not the record

325
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: lows we had, and the cryptocurrency world is doing okay.

326
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to balance out, Jonathan. Is there a

327
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: financial sort of damocles hanging over our heads? Well, it is.

328
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: It's it's almost a tail like this year of kind

329
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: of two different economies. First and foremost is what we'll

330
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: call the knowledge worker economy. And what's been pulling the

331
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: economy forward. It's been pulling the stock market forward. I mean,

332
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: what's been pulling really the world forward has been these

333
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: high tech internets and tech companies liked the Amazons, liked

334
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 1: the zooms, like the facebooks, that have basically kept us

335
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: going during this pandemic. I mean, Mike, we really owe

336
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: a debt of gratitude at the time the government is

337
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: going after big technology stocks, and these are the companies

338
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: that have kept us supplied, kept us fed, kept us connected,

339
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: kept many of us able to work and continue to

340
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: earn money during the pandemic. And you know, that's a

341
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 1: big different think where we would be this year without Facebook,

342
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: without Amazon, without Microsoft, for all these amazing companies that

343
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: have created technology, and they those have been the ones

344
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: that have really been pulling the stock market higher. I mean,

345
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: if you've owned, let's say, an airline, you know, if

346
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: you've owned a lot of the restaurants or retailers, you've

347
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,360
Speaker 1: suffered and you still haven't come back. But these companies

348
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: that have been able to adapt, then they've been able

349
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: to provide the technology that powers our lives. They've thrived,

350
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: and that's been a big reason that the economy, you

351
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: rid large, has prospered, and certainly the stock market as well.

352
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: It's those big cap names that are pulling us forward.

353
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: So I have to be happy about Amazon now, after

354
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: I've been nervous about Jeff Bezos and all of his machinations.

355
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: Now I have to pat him on the back. Well,

356
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 1: if you know, think about the difference these days, Jeff

357
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: are Mike of of returning a gift via Amazon. I'm

358
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: during at Christmas gift via Amazon. You know, the label

359
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: prints out, you leave it at your door, the UPS

360
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: guy comes and picks it up. Or the old days,

361
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: the pre Amazon days, when you would have to you know,

362
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: get in your car, go to a parking lot, go

363
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: to a venture you know, or is there park parking lots?

364
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: Stand in line, especially during a pandemic. So there's no

365
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 1: question that you know, these companies are succeeding. Those big

366
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: tech tech cap big cap tech companies are succeeding because

367
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: of the values they provide. But there is something else

368
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: going on, and you kind of alluded to it. I mean,

369
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: to supposedly help the economy or save the economy. The

370
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve has even doing one thing and one thing only,

371
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: and that is printing a hell of a lot of

372
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: money that's gone into a lot of risk assets. There

373
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: was anecdotal evidence that a lot of the initial stimulus

374
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: checks literally went into the stock market. You've also seen

375
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: it with a lot of other what they call risk assets,

376
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: and crypto is probably the best example. You know, I'm

377
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: not a hater. This is a Bitcoin is a topic

378
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: that brings out a lot of anger and emotion and people.

379
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a hater, but I can promise to this

380
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: bitcoin or something as speculative that wouldn't have existed in

381
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. It couldn't have existed in two

382
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, back when people were very afraid of

383
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: risk in the midst of the global financial crisis. It's

384
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: only because of all this money printing, all the speculation

385
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: that's something like bitcoin I believe at least can thrive

386
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: and prosper. That's exactly what we're seeing now. Money is

387
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: flying into all types of risk assets, stocks, even gold

388
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 1: and precious metals, bitcoin, and a lot of it has

389
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: to do with potential risks about exactly what you said

390
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: that money printing. People are worried about the value of

391
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 1: a dollar, so they're buying any type of others called

392
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: hard assets. Real estate's gone up quite a bit to

393
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: try to protect against that risk. So lots of flun

394
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: moving parts in this American economy. But one thing I

395
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: think esher it's the resilience of the American worker in

396
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: the American company. I mean, they've persevered, They've held on

397
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: with or without stimulus, with or without the government lockdowns.

398
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: And there's a lot to be said for the good

399
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: old American worker and certainly the American entrepreneur during this

400
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: pandemic and during twenty twenty. Yeah, I think the entrepreneurs

401
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: are the ones who were seeing who recognize the amazons

402
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 1: and the ups s and all of these types of

403
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: industries were going to benefit, and they jumped in it

404
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: and provided services to it. Provided packaging, provided everything. I've

405
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: seen some real interesting service industries pop up in service

406
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: to those huge industries that are keeping US afloat. But

407
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: I want to drift over. You mentioned the cryptos. Cryptocurrencies

408
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: are such a mystery to people, and I have to

409
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: ask you, Jonathan Honick from the capitalist Big dot Com.

410
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: I'm giving my elevator speech to people when they say

411
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: what the heck is bitcoin? And tell me if I'm right,

412
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: and you can correct me, please if I'm wrong, because

413
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: I'm used to being corrected. I'm married twenty eight years.

414
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: When someone says what the heck is bitcoin? I say, look,

415
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: somebody created a finite amount of digital codes, individual digital codes.

416
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: Each one represents a bitcoin. Let's say there's a million

417
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: of them, and they put a value on those of

418
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: a tenth of a penny, and you were allowed to

419
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: buy any one of those million bitcoins. I'm sure there's

420
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: probably like eighteen million dollars whatever. Now people are trading them,

421
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: and only the interest in them, the individual's interest in them,

422
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: and the lack of ability to print more, is determining

423
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: their value. So they've gone from a tiny action to

424
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: now currently over twenty six thousand dollars per bitcoin. Did

425
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: I explain that correctly? You know, I think you're exactly right.

426
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean, bitcoin is a digital currency, exactly right, Mike.

427
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a series of ones and zeros,

428
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: and you know, unlike the US dollar, which is backed

429
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: by the full as they say, the full faith and

430
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: credit of the American government, bitcoin is not backed by

431
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: anything's as you said, it's a series of ones and zeros,

432
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: a computer code of which a finite number will ever

433
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: be created. Then there's a scheme, kind of a technique

434
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: by which every I believe, ten minutes miners are able

435
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: to create more coins. So there's a there's a small

436
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: way in which additional coins at a slower rate can

437
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: be created. But you're right, there's a finite supply. And

438
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: this year, after about a decade, the popularity of bitcoin

439
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: has exploded hundreds of percent. This year bitcoin has has

440
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 1: risen And you know, I have to tell you, Mica,

441
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been married for twenty some years. I've

442
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: been trading for twenty some years, and this really does

443
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: bring me back to the late nineteen nineties, the Internet era.

444
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: You know, back then, it wasn't bitcoin that was soaring,

445
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: But it was these what they used to call just

446
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: Internet companies soaring, and things like pets dot Com for example,

447
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: would come public and say well, we're going to be

448
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: the pet store for the Internet, and would get rewarded

449
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: with huge, multi multibillion dollar valuations. What ultimately happened was

450
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: that the Internet did succeed, right, I mean, of course

451
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: we buy everything on the Internet now, but a lot

452
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: of those individual companies did not. And that's my very brave,

453
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: probably very foolish prediction for bitcoin is that the underlying technology,

454
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: what's known as the blockchain technology, that will succeed, that

455
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: will thrive, well, that'll be integrated in all elements of

456
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: the American economy. But the price of bitcoin itself, and

457
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, the only thing I could point to is

458
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: a is a competing a currency. And you know that's

459
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: the thing, Mike. You know, it's hard to create a

460
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: competing precious metal. You got gold, platinum, silver, and not

461
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: much else. But in effect, anyone can create a competing cryptocurrency.

462
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of them out there. There's Ripple,

463
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 1: there's Ethereum, there's Bitcoin. And one of the major ones

464
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned Ripple, that company who behind that was actually

465
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: sued by the SEC. In the last couple of weeks

466
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: that cryptocurrency has fallen by over fifty percent, So looks

467
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: it's white hot now. And I'm a trend follower, so

468
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: I say, you know, you'd ever want to bet against

469
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: a rising tide, but in effect know where the exits are.

470
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: These are heady times for cryptocurrency, and my senses the

471
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: next one hundred percent or the next fifty percent is

472
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: probably lower rather than higher. I think that's wise because

473
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are bitcoin fans are screaming

474
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars here we come, and that usually makes

475
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 1: me very nervous when hucksters start getting into it. And

476
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, Mike, the thing to remember for all of

477
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: our listeners is that you know, no one is I'm nippottent.

478
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: No one knows the future. So when it comes to

479
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: investing your money, the best piece of isaacond is give

480
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: is don't make it an aller un decision. I mean,

481
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety nine, if you know, if you

482
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: own some text stocks at the top, you didn't get hurt,

483
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: but if you went you know, all in, you really

484
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: got hurt. So whether it's real estate in two thousand

485
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: and seven, whether it's technology stocks in two in the

486
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine or bitcoin today, make it a part

487
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: of your portfolio, you know, not the only not the

488
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: only part. You know. We haven't had the debt discussion,

489
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: but I know you're a guy who doesn't like debt.

490
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: You're like me. Debt eventually weighs us down and holds us.

491
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: Are you worried about all this government debt at all?

492
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: I think we're the only ones that are worried. Like

493
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a little shocking as a as

494
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: a physical conservative for many many years, and who, as

495
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: you said me, knows the long term dangerous economic ramvacations

496
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: of unchecked spending. I'm a little bit a god this

497
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: year at spending under President Trump, you know, came to

498
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: power promising to eliminate the debt. We've done just anything,

499
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: but you've done exactly the opposite. We've piled a lot

500
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: on top of it. And what worries me, Mike, isn't

501
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: necessarily as a cataclysm day or all of a sudden,

502
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: one day you wake up and there's fires earning and

503
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: the ATMs don't work, and you know that's what's always

504
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of portrayed is this end of end of times cataclysm.

505
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: What's unfortunately more likely to happen is frankly, exactly what

506
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: we saw after President Obama. Remember back then, the stimulus

507
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: and the spending was only about eight hundred billion dollars.

508
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: That resulted in the slowest economic recovery, the slowest recovery

509
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: in modern times. So as we're looking forward, and that's

510
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: kind of my worry with all this debt, not that

511
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: we're going to collapse and become a third world country,

512
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: but that we're going to stagnate. And there's other examples

513
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: of that as well. You know, Japan, after its bubble

514
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 1: economy in the late nineteen eighties, they followed down exactly

515
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: that same path, a lot of make work programs, a

516
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of spending, a lot of government debt, tremendous government debt,

517
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: and their economy basically has been more abun for thirty years.

518
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: So that's my big fear moving forward, not that you know,

519
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: the US economy is going to fall off a cliff,

520
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: but that we're going to stagnate, That unemployment's going to rise,

521
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: the rate of growth that's going to slow. The new

522
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: innovators don't pop up, and I think that's real fear

523
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: moving forward to debt and inflation as well as you said.

524
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: And they call it a silent tax, Mike, and it's

525
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: really true. I mean, when they raised taxes on anyone,

526
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: you can tell it's very obvious. But when your grocery bills,

527
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: when your coffee bills, when your clothing bills start to

528
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: march up ten to fifteen, twenty percent, that's a tax

529
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: one or the other. And it all comes back to

530
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: government spending, debt and controls. That's what we need to reverse.

531
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Jonathan, fiscal conservatism. That's my gospel when

532
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: it comes to my personal finances. I so appreciate you,

533
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,560

546
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday of twenty twenty. I know I keep saying it's

547
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: the last Monday, the last Tuesday, but I'm so anxious

548
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: to get rid of twenty twenty. I'm going to celebrate

549
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: every last of the days that we have to deal with,

550

Speaker 1: So join me, won't you? And you can also join

552
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: me on social media. I've picked up a few followers

553
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter and a few more of you have jumped

554
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: on Instagram and Facebook as well, So thank you, thank

555
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 1: you for that. A couple of other things I noticed

556
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: in the news outside of the politics. There is more

557
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: to life than politics, even though there are days it

558
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: doesn't feel that way. So on days when we have

559
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: a lot of heavy news and big time political news,

560
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: I also looked for stories that might be a little inspiring,

561
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: like this one. This story out of Tennessee, where a

562
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: seven year old boy saved his baby sister's life as

563
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: their house was burning. This story happened a couple of

564
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: weeks ago and it's just starting to make national news.

565
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: In the small town of New Tazewell, Tennessee, where Chris

566
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: and Nicole Davidson put their three kids in bed. They

567
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: were asleep by eight thirty, but in the middle of

568
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: the night they woke up to the smell of smoke

569
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: and they found their house was on fire, but their

570
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: twenty two month old daughter was trapped in her room,

571
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:45,479
Speaker 1: a baby twenty two months old trapped behind the smoke

572
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: and flames. They went outside and Elijah, the seven year old, said,

573
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: I can get through that window. I can climb through

574
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: that window, and he did climbed into the window of

575
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: the burning home, rescued his twenty two month old sister

576
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: as the fire trucks were pulling up. The whole house

577
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: was soon engulfed in flames, but everybody human was out

578
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: and saved. The little kid is a hero, a huge hero.

579
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Davidson family. Quick thinking on dad to

580
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: lift little Eli up in through the window to save

581
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: his sister and Eli a steel spine at the age

582
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: of seven. He said, there was no way I was

583
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: gonna let my baby sister die in the fire. How

584
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: about one more quick good news story, the story of

585
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: a ninety three year old veteran, a ninety three year

586
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: old veteran Air Force Colonel John Hobson, who likes to

587
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: keep busy and he whittles walking sticks and sells them

588
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: to raise money for a local food bank. Yeah, we

589
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: know about food banks being stretched to the limits. While

590
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: John Hobson has done such a remarkable job and the

591
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: word has gotten out, he has raised are you sitting

592
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 1: down sixteen thousand dollars selling walking sticks in his little

593
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:15,719

Speaker 1: So we stand an applaud with a little bit of

598
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,760

Speaker 1: to hear your voice. Mike. I feel the same way.

617
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 1: We're all very close. I mean, we all work together.

618
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: You're right in the early days of the Blaze. Great

619
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,240
Speaker 1: memories at the Blaze, and I met great friends, lifelong

Speaker 1: friends like you and Buck and so many others that

621
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: we worked with. So I'm really I'm really grateful to

622
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: be on with you today at the end of twenty twenty. Yeah,

623
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm opening the door and giving twenty twenty a good

624
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: kick in the butt. See you go ahead, not gonna

625
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: miss you. Although Sarah I talked about this earlier, I'm

626
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 1: a little concerned about twenty twenty one. Did you read

627
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: the Nostradamas story? Oh no, please do tell are we

628
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: going to have like if this is a big end

629
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: of the world thing, right, Mike, that you're gonna tell me,

630
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: And that's going to scare me, but go ahead, well,

631
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: go ahead tell me the story. If you read the

632
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 1: Nostradamus predictions from five hundred plus years ago, Nostradamus was

633
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: saying that this year will have asteroids and zombies on

634
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: the earth. So I'm thinking COVID looks pretty good. Oh

635
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: my goodness, Well, you know what, that's what I kept saying.

636
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,760
Speaker 1: Everybody kept joking around, But you know, there are people

637
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: out there actually really worried now about the whole zombie

638
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: apocalypse thing because of all these end of the world movies.

639
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I talked to the Deputy of the

640
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 1: Health and Human Services. I interviewed him and he was saying, oh,

641
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of stories about even about the vaccine

642
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: that they have to overcome. So no surprise, it started

643
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: five hundred years ago with no stradomin writing rumors. Yeah, well,

644
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm putting out a series of predictions for twenty

645
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: twenty one under my new identity of Nostradomass, and they

646
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: are they're just foolish predictions. And so be on the

647
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: lookout for the Nostradomass predictions that I will be coming

648
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,879
Speaker 1: up with very shortly, unlike your email list for that,

649
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: because I really want the Nostrademass predictions in my inbox

650
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: every morning. Yeah, I'll be happy. I want happy to

651
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 1: do that. There'll be a new Nostradomass prediction as many

652
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: days as I can provide them. I'm going to have

653
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: to go into some kind of a fever dream like

654
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm a democrat, like AOC has their little fever dreams

655
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: about a socialist society, and they're I'll dream about whatever

656
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: Nostra dumbass would come up with, and I'll post them

657
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: with Well, let me tell you the scary part of that, Mike.

658
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: The scary part of that is that their fever dream

659
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: actually appear to be like some kind of real sci

660
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: fi novel that's actually taking place in our society. Because

661
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: every day I wake up and I wonder, am I

662
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: living in upside down world? Am I living in a dream?

663
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: What the heck happened to the United States of America

664
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: and our planet? What is going on here? Because I

665
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: really do feel even when you turn on just you're

666
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: watching the news, you're reading a paper, whatever it is,

667
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: I really feel like I am living in some kind

668
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: of dystopian world. Yeah, we are that way. I was

669
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: looking at Sarah Acarter dot com, your website, and I

670
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: saw a story that is particularly dystopian in its nature,

671
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: showing the story about the Oregon salon owner. How is

672
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: this not nineteen eighty four come to life? Oh, it's

673
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's terrifying when you think about it.

674
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean we can look at it and go, is

675
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 1: that for real? Is that an union story? Did? Was

676
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: that a Babylon be No? I mean, here's a salon

677
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: owner and you know, same as the Senator Lindsay Graham,

678
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: that's her name. Um, she said that the organ Governor

679
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: Brown actually terrorized her family. She's like, you know this,

680
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: this is incredible. She's not the only person you know

681
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: that is stuck or during the state's lockdowns, you know,

682
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: and they were trying to find her fourteen thousand dollars

683
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: for defying the rules and reopening her business during the pandemic,

684
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, and then they came after her and her family.

685
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: She filed a lawsuit on December eighteenth against Um, the

686
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: governor Brown Um, claiming that forcing her business to shut

687
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 1: down violator civil rights. And she's absolutely right. You know,

688
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: she came on the Ingram Angle was actually on with

689
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: her right after her. And I remember while she was

690
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: telling her story, I was thinking to myself, what kind

691
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 1: of world do we live in? How is it that

692
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,720
Speaker 1: we live in the United States of America, the United

693
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: States of America, and we have governors like Kate brown

694
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: overreaching the way that they have been utilizing fear in

695
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: this COVID nineteen pandemic to basically seize power in their

696
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: states and harm people. And you know, I'm really grateful

697
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: for people like Lindsey Graham who are willing to fight

698
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: people like Kate Browne. Remember it was remember it was

699
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 1: Governor Kate Brown in Oregon who literally asked neighbors to

700
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: turn on neighbors like if you see more than six

701
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: people showing up at the Thanksgiving dinner at your neighbor's house,

702
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: you should call the police on them. You should turn

703
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: them in. When did we live? And I mean, this

704
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: is literally what happened in Cuba. This is literally what

705
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: happened during the Soviet time. And it's a creepy crawl, right,

706
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: It's a creepy crawl way of usurping power and taking

707
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: power over people, and they do so with fear. And

708
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: we know now based on science and based on I

709
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: mean facts, even like with New York City with the

710
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,320
Speaker 1: shutdown of restaurants, right, and so many people under the

711
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: threat of losing their businesses and so many already have,

712
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: but that the spread of the virus even in restaurants

713
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 1: was like way below two percent. I mean, it was

714
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: far less than anything that they imagine because it was

715
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: so clean. If you look at the stats in New

716
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: York that show that the restaurants and dining indoors was

717
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: the fifth and it was way down the list in

718
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: terms of the percentage of spread that it caused. It

719
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: was in the single digits. When we have big box

720
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: stores that are opening and the facilities that are allowed

721
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: to be open and they are spreading the virus at

722
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: three and four and five times what you're seeing in

723
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: restaurants and hair salons. This lady, I was just reading

724
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: the story on your site too. This lady said that

725
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: was three days after the complaint she made publicly and

726
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: opened her salon. Child Protective Services showed up at her

727
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: house and there was never a complaint unless she complained

728
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: about what the government was doing to her business. Well,

729
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 1: and this is a threat, right, Mike. So you hold

730
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: the government accountable, you confront them, and then the government

731
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 1: uses the full power of the government against you. And

732
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: this is what they did. I mean, she basically said

733
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: that they sent Child Protective Services to her home and

734
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,719
Speaker 1: threatened the removal of her children. Can you imagine. Can

735
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: you imagine just wanting to keep your business open. You

736
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: want to be able to feed your family, You want

737
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: to be able to save what you had worked for

738
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 1: your whole life. You're doing everything you can to mitigate

739
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: the spread of this virus. I mean, look, they're the

740
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 1: ones that are determining. It's like Governor Kate Brown can

741
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: determine what is essential and what is non essential. You know,

742
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: this is what's happening across the country. And what's essential

743
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: is that people have their jobs, that people can retain

744
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: their businesses, that people can feed their families. You know,

745
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: not everybody. You know, what's going to happen when the

746
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: handouts aren't there anymore. What's going to happen when you

747
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 1: don't have a stimulus check? What's going to happen. Then

748
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: we now have a vaccine. We have multiple vaccines that

749
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: are out there, ready to go out on the market

750
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: where people are getting vaccinated. Not as fast as some

751
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: people would have hoped, but it is happening. It's on

752
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: a massive global scale. These vaccinations will be done. People

753
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:02,240
Speaker 1: are following the rules. People are smart enough to follow

754
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 1: the rules. I trust the American people. I trust people

755
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:08,359
Speaker 1: all over the world to do the right thing when

756
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: it comes to them in their family. Yeah, I trust.

757
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 1: I trust the American small businessman and small businesswoman a

758
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: lot more than I trust the bureaucrats who have not

759
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: missed a paycheck since this started. This story about the

760
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: hair salon and Oregon also parallels the one in California

761
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: in Stockton, California, where the health police came in and

762
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 1: the owner said it was like a drug raid. They

763
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: came in and told all there were people getting their

764
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: hair did right there in the chairs. They told them

765
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: to put their purses on the floor and their hands

766
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: in the air, and it was just crazy. And I

767
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: finally think, Sarah Carter, that we are seeing the salon owners,

768
00:44:55,239 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: the restaurant owners, all of these people banding together, and

769
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: they're standing up and saying, enough is enough, and we

770
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: can do this. If airplanes can do it safely with

771
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty people on a plane, why can't

772
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: a hair salon with ten people inside do it? Well,

773
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I've been saying. I mean, if you've

774
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: anybody who's flown in recent months I have knows that

775
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: you're sitting right next to people on a plane, wearing

776
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,720
Speaker 1: a mask, of course, doing the best to keep yourself clean.

777
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: And you know, but you're not six feet apart on

778
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: a plane. Not six feet apart on a plane. I mean,

779
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: that's just a fact. And you know, when you think

780
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: of these salon owners and small business owners trying to

781
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: just keep food on the table, trying to keep their

782
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: businesses open, trying to feed their families. And by the way,

783
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: shame on the officers who went in there. I know

784
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: that's their job. But there's other officers across the country

785
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: and sheriff that are saying, we're not going to do that.

786
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,480
Speaker 1: We're not going to go in and raid people's businesses.

787
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: I saw that in New Mexico. We've seen it in

788
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:04,360
Speaker 1: in other parts throughout the country where officers are refusing

789
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: to do that because this is about American business owners,

790
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: small business owners, doing the right thing, and it's very selective, Mike.

791
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: These governors are doing things so selectively. And look at

792
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom. What a hypocrite, What a hypocrite, who was

793
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: caught at French laundry, you know, a twenty two thousand

794
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: dollars like liquor bill at this fancy restaurant in northern California,

795
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, without a mask on, with his family and friends,

796
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, laughing and gallivanting around. And by the way,

797
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: that restaurant got a big trunk of money, you know,

798
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: for COVID money that it applied for. And here's a

799
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, and here's a woman you know in Stockton

800
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: who's just trying to get along, just trying to keep

801
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: hersel on open, and then she gets rated like she's

802
00:46:56,280 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, Chapo Guzman in Mexico running like good drug cartel. Oh,

803
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: very good, very good, very good chop and Choppo reference.

804
00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: I love that her name is Sarah Carter. We laughed

805
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: all the time at the Blaze, and yet we still

806
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: manage to cover the serious stuff, which Sarah does all

807
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: the time. She's got her website, she's got her podcast,

808
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: The Sarah Carter Show, which you should track down as well.

809
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: My friend, I'm going to be in DC next week

810
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: for the big event on January sixth. If you're around,

811
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: i'd love to say hello in person. Socially distanced of course. Absolutely,

812
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,359

813
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: to see you. I look forward to you coming to

Speaker 1: the swamp. Yeah. We'll be doing an air hug though

815

Speaker 1: it's just six feet away. Please six yea away. We'll

816
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: do like a high five in the air. We'll do

817
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: an air hug. We'll send a picture, we'll put it,

00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael pelcat in

846
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: for Buck and he'll be back in the new year.

847
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 1: I was just checking something out, something that happened on

848
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: MSNBC yesterday that made me laugh. We often say Donald

849
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: Trump is living rent free in the heads of the liberals.

850
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 1: He's up there and they can't get rid of him.

851
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,399
Speaker 1: Yesterday on Morning Joe Donnie Deutsch, who is just well,

852
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: I can't say it. On the radio, Donnie Deutsch showed

853
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: just how obsessed he is with President Trump. He's counting

854
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: the minutes of the program before they mentioned Joe Biden,

855
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: and he's upset that Donald Trump has been brought up

856
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: a few times. Well, he's only the president, mister Deutsch.

857
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's not going away because he's a media career.

858
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: But enough it's on us out. I mean, he's a

859
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:26,080
Speaker 1: lane duck. It's over. He lost, He's gone. Like we

860
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: have to kind of kind of stought to say, like

861
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: it's an hour and twenty minutes into the show, and

862
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: Matt is the first time you mentioned name Joe Biden?

863
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: Was mentioned? Enough with Donald Trump rat he's done, he lost,

864
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: and we the media have to be a bit disciplined

865
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: and not continue to just cover this jerk every time

866
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: there's this flatulence. Every time there's this flatulence, you're referring

867
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: to the president of the United States. These people really

868
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: have lost it. And you know it's amazing to me,

869
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: is they're supporting Joe Biden, a guy who has obvious

870
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: cognitive issues, a guy who really does have difficulty, and

871
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,480
Speaker 1: a guy who didn't campaign because they knew he had

872
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: a problem, and they just can't they can't deal with it.

873
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: So I just had to share that with you. That

874
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: was from a morning Joe, I think that was yesterday morning.

875
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 1: Also surprising to me, the Democrats are having money troubles,

876
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: to have some pretty serious money troubles in Georgia where

877
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: they have raised all this money for these runoff elections

878
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: and now they're telling everyone that they're out of money.

879
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 1: Last night, John Asoff, whose name just sounds like someone's

880
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 1: cursing all the time. To me, John Assoff, don't be

881
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: a assof John Asoff was on CNN and he used

882
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: his time to ask for more camp paying funds. They

883
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: are launching lawsuit after lawsuit, and for us to mount

884
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: the kind of turnout effort that we must, for us

885
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: to be prepared for the litigation that's necessary to defend

886
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:13,760
Speaker 1: the franchise, we need help. It's elect John, elect jawin

887
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 1: dot com, and I'm asking folks to invest in voter

888
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: protection here. John. So the CNN anchor even said, you

889
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: guys raised all this money, and no one has the courage,

890
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: I guess to ask the question, why should we give

891
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: you all this money if you can't even manage campaign funds.

892
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: You know, the Democrats are just going to think they

893
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: can throw money at every problem. And there are a

894
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: couple of Republicans who think the same way too. But

895
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: I just think it's an absolute amazing story that they

896
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:53,760
Speaker 1: have spent two hundred million dollars already since the election

897
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: and there's a week to go before the runoff, and

898
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: they are claiming poverty, they're claiming that they're being outspent

899
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: by the GOP, even though they have raised more money

900
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: than the Republicans. This is going to be an amazing

901
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: week ahead of us. We're going to hear things. Stacy

902
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: Abrams is already out there telling everybody that the GOP

903
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: can't win unless they keep Blacks from voting. They play

904
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: the race card at every turn. And when you're playing

905
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: the race card, it's because you're not able to talk

906
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: about policy. You're not able to talk about the actual

907
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: things that matter when you want someone to be your

908
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: elected representative. I'm just telling you pay attention. We live

909
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,399
Speaker 1: in very interesting times, possibly even some of the most

910
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: historic times ever. Michael Pelka and for Buck Sexton on

00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: enjoys his vacation. And we were just talking about Georgia

917
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: and the ridiculous amount of money being spent on the

918
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: runoff elections because it will determine the control of the

919
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: Senate and the money is just astronomical, and it's being

920
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: used to blanket the airwaves on radio and TV with

921
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy ads, but it's also being used

922
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: for getting people out in the streets and knocking on

923
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: doors and talking to potential voters. And one of the

924
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: people who's out there knocking on doors leading the charge

925
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: to register Republicans to make sure people get to the

926
00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: voting booth on or before the fifth of January, is

927
00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,360
Speaker 1: one of the more inspiring people I've met in the

928
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:00,439
Speaker 1: last couple of years. His name is Scott press He's

929
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: a young man who just voted in the presidential election

930
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: for the first time because he wasn't old enough to

931
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:10,320
Speaker 1: vote in the last election. Scott is a beacon of

932
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: hope for the youth of this country. I really look

933
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: at this guy's an inspiring character and I hope he continues.

934
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 1: His enthusiasm is infectious and he's taken a break from

935
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: knocking on doors to join us tonight. Scott Pressler, Welcome

936
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: to the program sir. Wow, I've never had someone call

937
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 1: me a beacon of hope before. Well, I think that one.

938
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:41,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, we see you and you're you're enduring spirit.

939
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: You just have boundless energy, but you're always positive, and

940
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: I think that is something that cannot be underestimated or undervalued.

941
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: It is much needed in these crazy times that we're

942
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 1: living in, my friend, and you are bringing that to

943
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 1: doors all over Georgia. How many doors have you knocked

944
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,720
Speaker 1: on in the last couple of weeks. Oh, easily hundreds.

945
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: I've registered new voters. Get this, people that didn't vote

946
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: in the November election who were Trump voters, I've now

947
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,919
Speaker 1: registered them to vote and they've already said that they've

948
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: voted in the runoff Senate elections. So don't even get

949
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 1: me started about why people weren't voting. But the fact is,

950
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: we've registered new voters, We've recruited volunteers, We've knocked on

951
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: hundreds of doors. And I'm returning a third time to

952
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: Roswell Georgia and I will be a guest host for

953
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: Right Side Broadcasting at the Dalton, Georgia Trump Rally on

954
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: the fourth, So the night before the actual final day

955
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: of voting for these runoff elections, you're going to be

956
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: there hosting on right Side broadcasting the streaming of the

957
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: Trump rally. Absolutely, yes, sir, fantastic, this is good news.

958
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 1: I would have thought the President would have dragged you

959
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: up on stage at this point, because you know, he's

960
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: seen you everywhere I've seen you at the White House,

961
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: so I know he knows who you are. Hey, this

962
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: is about supporting our president. This is about giving our

963
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: president a Senate that he can work with, because people

964
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: need to understand this isn't just about two Senate seats.

965
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: This is truly If we do not win these two seats,

966
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: it will be a fifty to fifty and should the

967
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: election not go as we all hope it's going to go,

968
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: that means that the vice president is going to be

969
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker. And do the Democrats once he gives statehood

970
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: to DC, do the Democrats want to give statehood to

971
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico? This is about saving our country and we

972
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: need these two Senate seats as the firewall. Yeah, you're

973
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: right talking about those two seats or those two states

974
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: which would be added, which would add four more senators,

975
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: obviously Democrats, and that would way the balance of power

976
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: in the Senate forever as well as electorally. And you

977
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: know they will pack the Supreme Court because they've talked

978
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 1: about it. I've even heard the Democrats out on the

979
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: campaign trail say they're not going to answer that question

980
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: because they want to get it done. So your work

981
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 1: there is really important, Scott, and I want to ask you,

982
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: based on your door knock surveys. I'm sure you've run

983
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: into some Democrats when you knock on doors, But what

984
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: do you think the chances are. How are you feeling?

985
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: What's the Pressler poll? Tell us I'll be honest with you,

986
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: and I'll be the same honesty that I gave for

987
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 1: the November elections. This race is going to be close.

988
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: Georgia is not a red stace like we think it is.

989
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be a close election. It's going to

990
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: be high turnout. Actually, I think we may see more

991
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: people vote in the runoff election Van voted in the

992
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 1: November presidential elections. And we need to get the word

993
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: out the child abuse allegations coming out against Warnock, the

994
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: fact that his ex wife was talking about the way

995
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,960
Speaker 1: that Warnock treated her, and then the fact that we

996
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: just saw a tweet back in twenty twelve where Austin

997
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: was telling people to follow Chinese state media. I mean

998
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: the Democrats, Wow, they couldn't have picked two worse candidates.

999
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 1: And this is our opportunity to send Lessler and Purdue

1000
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: back to the Senate to support our businesses, to support

1001
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: making sure that we are opening up America to support,

1002
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: that we are not closing down businesses with the disastrous

1003
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: Green New Deal. This is our opportunity to save the

1004
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 1: Senate and quite frankly, save America. He is so right.

1005
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 1: His name is Scott Pressler. You should follow Scott on Twitter.

1006
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: He's a great follower it. Look up Scott Pressler or

1007
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: the Persistent, because he is the most persistent person I

1008
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: know Scott. Two days after the rally is a big

1009
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,680
Speaker 1: event in Washington, d C. We have the Joint Session

1010
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 1: of Congress where the Electoral College votes will have to

1011
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: be certified or they will have to face challenges. Are

1012
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: you going to be in DC at any of the events?

1013
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: I would not miss it for the world. Yes. My

1014
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: plan is I will be door knocking and roswell on

1015
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: the second and third. I will be guest hosting his

1016
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,120
Speaker 1: right side broadcasting on the fourth. I'm going to drive

1017
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: home on the fifth, and I will be proudly there

1018
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: in DC at the Capitol Building at ten am, planning

1019
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 1: to be there all day, Planning to wear comfortable footwear,

1020
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: plan to wear clothing that's going to keep you warm,

1021
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: and I want everyone to hear me loud and clear.

1022
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Any Republican elected official that does not object to the certification,

1023
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I make a promise that we will recruit, we will train,

1024
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: we will fund candidates to primary you, and especially this

1025
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: goes out to Marco Rubio, This goes out to Roy Blunt.

1026
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 1: If you do not object the certification, we promise that

1027
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: you will have a primary challenger. And I do not

1028
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: support a third party. What I do support is that

1029
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: the Republican Party does not stand with President Trump as

1030
01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: they should, then we the grassroots, we the people, will

1031
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: remake the Republican Party in our image. This is a

1032
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 1: pretty strong statement to make from a young man who voted.

1033
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: I believe this was your first presidential election that you

1034
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: were able to vote in this year. If somebody doesn't

1035
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: stand up and object to the electoral counts that are

1036
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 1: being I know of several members of the House and

1037
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: the Senate have indicated they will object. But if Marco

1038
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Rubio doesn't, and I forgot who the other person who's

1039
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,200
Speaker 1: had doesn't, your Blunt, Roy Blunt, you will guarantee that

1040
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: they will be primaried the next time they are up

1041
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,200
Speaker 1: for election. Oh absolutely, And you know what, I've already

1042
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 1: got plans. I've been getting calls all across the country.

1043
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm already coming to California, I'm already coming back to Texas.

1044
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: And you know what, if I have to hop on

1045
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: a plane to Alaska to knock on doors and register

1046
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: voters to primary Leisa Murkowski, if I have to hop

1047
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: on a plane to go to Florida and Missouri and

1048
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: all across the country, then that's how I will spend

1049
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: the next two years of my life. Because I am

1050
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,840
Speaker 1: sick and tired of seckless leadership that makes us promises

1051
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: and turns their backs on the American people. And quite frankly,

1052
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: that's why I love President Trump. President Trump is the

1053
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: one man who looked us in the eyes and told

1054
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:52,840
Speaker 1: us I will cut your taxes, I will reform trade.

1055
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 1: I will stop the trade deals that are giving China

1056
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: all of our work business while we the American people suffer.

1057
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: So I will use my platform, I will use my power.

1058
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I will use everything in my ability to take down

1059
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: peacefully these Republican elected officials that do not stand without

1060
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: sincing with our president. On January sixth, I love that

1061
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 1: you added peacefully because I think it is important to say, yeah,

1062
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, if we go back to the summer and

1063
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: Fredo Cuomo who said, where in the first when the

1064
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: Constitution does it say protests have to be peaceful? Well,

1065
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: it's right there in the First Amendment. We're committed to peace,

1066
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 1: but we're committed to law and order and the Constitution.

1067
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:44,240

1088
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: We're hearing the mayor of Washington, Mayor Bowser, is putting

1089
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 1: pressure on hotels to close that day. And also allegedly

1090
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: there are reports that they are trying to block the

1091
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: porta potties from being deployed. Wouldn't that be interesting? No

1092
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:16,520

1099
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. Happy to be here, thrilled to be here. Actually,

1100
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: this audience reaches out so frequently. I got a message

1101
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: on social media last night through a Facebook messenger. Somebody said, hey,

1102
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 1: can you play that Trump Train song again, and I think, yeah,

1103
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: we'll try and squeeze that in. We have maybe one

1104
01:05:56,440 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: or two more plays of that little song that we

1105
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: made to honor Donald Trump, and we'll try and squeak.

1106
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do it just around the corner. I'm a

1107
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,200
Speaker 1: fan of history, as his buck, and I always like

1108
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: to go back and look at what happened on this day,

1109
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 1: back in the day to see if we can learn anything.

1110
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: And on this day, back in eighteen forty five, Texas

1111
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: became a state. In fact, it was the twenty eighth

1112
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: state in the Union Texas. Though it's not the same

1113
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: Texas UC today, there were a few more miles added

1114
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 1: to it. Let's just say it includes part of what

1115
01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: is now Colorado and New Mexico, so kind of a

1116
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:42,680
Speaker 1: different size Texas. Also on this date, in eighteen fifty one,

1117
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,720
Speaker 1: the first YMCA opened in Boston. I wonder if it's

1118
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 1: still open, Probably not the same building. Nineteen forty FDR

1119
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:56,280
Speaker 1: declared the United States to be the arsenal of democracy?

1120
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: Are we still the arsenal of democracy? I wonder? I

1121
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: know the rest of the world does look up to us.

1122
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: No matter what the Democrats say, we still are the

1123
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: place that most people would like to come to on

1124
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: the State nineteen seventy eight, and I remember watching this

1125
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: game on live TV saying, oh my god, did we

1126
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,600
Speaker 1: just see that the Gator Bowl was being played? Remember

1127
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 1: bowl games, there aren't so many thanks to COVID. This

1128
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: year the Gator Bowl was being played in It was

1129
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 1: Ohio State against Clemson, and Ohio State's coach Woody Hayes,

1130
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: an iconic coach in college football history, got upset when

1131
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 1: a Clemson player intercepted a pass and started running it

1132
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: back and he actually punched the guy. Charlie Bauman was

1133
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: the player who took a punch from Woody Hayes, who

1134
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: was not a young man at the time. It was

1135
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: a huge controversy, gigantic and as a matter of fact,

1136
01:07:56,680 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Woody Hayes was dismissed from his job the very next day.

1137
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Big stinking deal. On this date, in nineteen eighty nine,

1138
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:10,919
Speaker 1: Canada became the first nation to ban smoking on all

1139
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: commercial airline flights. Smoking up until nineteen eighty nine, smoking

1140
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: was and then a lot of other nations jumped in

1141
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: right after it, and frankly, it was a good deal.

1142
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: Nothing like flying in a smoke filled airplane, and there

1143
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: were times people would smoke cigars on airlines. Thank god,

1144
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: we have clean air in the skies. Now we just

1145
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: have to wear masks, right, that'll soon be over. Nineteen

1146
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: ninety seven. On this day, back in the day, we

1147
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: had something called the bird flu that was breaking out

1148
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: in China. Mm. China where a lot of bad things originate.

1149
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: This was in Hong Kong, though, and the government in

1150
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 1: Hong Kong said we better do something about this. Their

1151
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 1: chickens were showing signs of this bird blue outbreak, so

1152
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: they called the entire herd. The entire Nation's heard more

1153
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 1: than a million chickens were killed in China to prevent

1154
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: it from getting out of control. I wonder why they

1155
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,799
Speaker 1: didn't do that with the bats or whatever was determined

1156
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: to be the cause the origin of the Wuhan. I'll

1157
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,840
Speaker 1: just let that sit there. You know what, Let's wrap

1158
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: up this hour with a little fun. How about we

1159
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: play the Trump Train one more time. We'll try and

1160
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: play it tomorrow as well. Ladies and gentlemen, thank Bill

1161
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: for this. He's the one who requested it. Climb on

1162
01:09:37,160 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: board chain chain. It really is a disgrace. It's called

1163
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: the COVID relief bill, but it has almost nothing to

1164
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: do with kof nine hundred billion dollars package provides hard

1165
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 1: working taxpayers with only six hundred dollars each in relief fans,

1166
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:19,320
Speaker 1: and not enough money is given to small businesses. I

1167
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the

1168
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: ridiculously low six hundred dollars to two thousand dollars or

1169
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars for a couple in a narrative the

1170
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: Trump Trade maybe one of the last times we get

1171
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 1: to play that. I'll try and squeeze it in once

1172
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: more tomorrow as we finish out twenty twenty. Michael Pelka

1194
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka here in the host chair, filling in from

1195
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 1: my friend Buck, who is enjoying the warm Florida weather.

1196
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: I'm not jealous at all, not in the least bit. No, hardly.

1197
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: Yeah I am. That's okay, I can admit it. But

1198
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: we're almost done with this year, and I'll be here

1199
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,360
Speaker 1: tonight and tomorrow as well. I've been talking to some

1200
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: of my friends from my Blaze days who are in

1201
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 1: different functions in the world of journalism around the country,

1202
01:12:47,800 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 1: and I want to introduce you to another one of them.

1203
01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: His name is John Street. He is the managing editor

1204
01:12:54,479 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 1: of a really important website. It's called Campus Reform and

1205
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: it's at campus reform dot org. And I will tell you,

1206
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: in a world where we seem to be seeing youth

1207
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 1: gone totally astray, it is comforting to know that there

1208
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: are places where the college campuses actually have kids who

1209
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: understand conservatism and are being helped along, nudged into I

1210
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 1: don't know, capitalism and small government and big freedoms, which

1211
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 1: is I think what campus reform fights for. So I

1212
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,040
Speaker 1: want to get into some of the hot topics of

1213
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the day on campus Reform. John Street, Welcome, my friend,

1214
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:42,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I'm glad you're here. It was

1215
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 1: this the weirdest year in terms of college campuses. Did

1216
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: the distance learning kind of tamp down some of the

1217
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: insanity we've seen in previous years with like safe spaces

1218
01:13:55,720 --> 01:13:58,600
Speaker 1: and all of the other madness we witnessed in the

1219
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: years before twenty Well, unfortunately, just like everything else in

1220
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, all of the campus indoctrination, all of the

1221
01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:12,799
Speaker 1: campus coddling all of that went from in person to virtual.

1222
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 1: So the the lectures that we would see from students

1223
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: in class recording their professors going on these anti conservative,

1224
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:29,040
Speaker 1: anti capitalists, anti Christian, you know, race based rants in class,

1225
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:33,519
Speaker 1: those all kind of shifted online to virtual to you know,

1226
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,719
Speaker 1: virtual class sessions that in many ways kind of helped

1227
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: us to expose and just helped parents to see just

1228
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: what their kids were being taught in school. And that

1229
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: prompted the parents to take a step back and say, hey,

1230
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: we'll wait a minute, what am I exactly paying here

1231
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,400
Speaker 1: for my children to go to college for twenty grand

1232
01:14:51,439 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: a year and this is what I get out of it?

1233
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: So I think it in many ways shine the lights

1234
01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: on just how rampant the indoctrination runs in higher education.

1235
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: But also I think we saw UM just how how

1236
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 1: easy it is, or how convenient it is for many

1237
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 1: students to shift to more online UM based classes. When

1238
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 1: we when we do go back to a semi normal

1239
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:22,720
Speaker 1: world after, you know, most of more the country gets

1240
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:26,840
Speaker 1: fascinated UM. So I think we could see a shift

1241
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:30,800
Speaker 1: away from perhaps some of the on campus culture UM

1242
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:35,680
Speaker 1: that's facilitating a lot of the the social justicey UM

1243
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: and you know Campus Coddilly workshops that these schools often

1244
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: provide the students would go to voluntarily but not maybe

1245
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 1: not receive course credit for, and they may just take

1246
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: those classes online. Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of

1247
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 1: interesting to watch and see where this all goes. The

1248
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: distance learning that we saw in the last year. I

1249
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: don't saily think it's been successful, but I wonder if

1250
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: it's been as damaging as a lot of people have said. Now,

1251
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:11,599
Speaker 1: I'm someone who went to college in the late seventies, John,

1252
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: so that tells you how long ago and how old

1253
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: I am, and distance learning was not something we would

1254
01:16:19,160 --> 01:16:22,719
Speaker 1: have ever seen or even if thought could have worked.

1255
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,040
Speaker 1: The college experience was more of a communal experience, more

1256
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 1: akin to Animal House if you've seen the movie, which

1257
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have. And I just can't imagine anyone

1258
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: growing up, and I mean that literally, actually having the

1259
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 1: experience of growing up with distance learning, because you don't

1260
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:47,320
Speaker 1: get the immersion of the social experience. And I think

1261
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: that will be the biggest thing that's lacking going forward

1262
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: in these kids' lives. So I hope it changes for

1263
01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: them going forward. Let's talk about some of the other

1264
01:16:56,960 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 1: social issues black lives matter, and it trenched element it

1265
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: seems on college campuses. What are you guys seeing as

1266
01:17:05,479 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 1: it involves black lives matter in college campuses today? Well

1267
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: back in you know, late May or June, throughout the summer,

1268
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 1: it was it was interesting to see how many colleges

1269
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 1: and their administrations came out in full throoted support of

1270
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 1: Black lives matter. And you know, we tried to take

1271
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 1: a look at each one and just see if they

1272
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: were saying, you know, because because of course, you know,

1273
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, black lives, we should cherish all lives and

1274
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: value all lives. But we kind of take a lookout

1275
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: and differentiated between when the school was saying what I

1276
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 1: just said and when they were kind of offering endorsement

1277
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,400
Speaker 1: of the Black Lives Matter movement. And it was studying

1278
01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: to see just how many colleges would come out in

1279
01:17:56,479 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 1: a full throoted endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement

1280
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,560
Speaker 1: and go out of their way to try to differentiate

1281
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:08,439
Speaker 1: what they were saying. There not to mention the number

1282
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: of instances where we saw, including a case where there

1283
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: was a dean at the University of Massachusetts who was

1284
01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:21,519
Speaker 1: fired after she sends an email saying that black lives matter,

1285
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: but also everyone's life matters. There was a backlash as

1286
01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 1: a result of that email, and she ended up getting

1287
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,080
Speaker 1: fired for writing that email to students, just for saying

1288
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: everyone's life matters. So we're literally living in a time

1289
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: where it's so controversial to say that everyone's life matters.

1290
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: They're all out of matter, and that we've gotten to

1291
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: a point where that sort of a statement can get

1292
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 1: you fired from universities in this country. And that should

1293
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,759
Speaker 1: really send a chill down all of our spines because

1294
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: it violates what this country was founded upon. It's a

1295
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,720
Speaker 1: gross infringement of our free speech. And you know, it

1296
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 1: just shows that if you don't, if you don't agree

1297
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 1: to to adhere to what the leftist script is on

1298
01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 1: black lives matter, then your job could be at risk

1299
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: and your livelihood could be at risk. It's amazing she

1300
01:19:18,720 --> 01:19:21,560
Speaker 1: lost her job. I wonder if she's suing or I

1301
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 1: wonder if they gave her some kind of golden parachute

1302
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: to get out. But that, to me, is an egregious

1303
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: violation of just general speech in this country. I was

1304
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: at the final night of the RNC in DC this

1305
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: past August and walking home and I was accosted by

1306
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:45,559
Speaker 1: many of the people in the streets of Washington, DC

1307
01:19:45,920 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: after the event ended, just before midnight, and there was

1308
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,080
Speaker 1: a woman standing on the corner near Black Lives Matter

1309
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: plazid just screaming at everyone black Lives matter. And I

1310
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: looked at her and I said, why, yes, they do.

1311
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:06,479
Speaker 1: And she chased me, not exactly sprinting, but followed me

1312
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: for about a half a block saying what does that mean?

1313
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: What does what does that actually mean? And I realized

1314
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: that any answer would be the wrong answers, so I

1315
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 1: just kept walking. I should never engage, I guess is

1316
01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:23,639
Speaker 1: the ultimate answer. But that saddens me that we can't

1317
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: have a difference of opinion or even add a layer

1318
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 1: to an opinion without having someone attack us verbally or

1319
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: in the case of this dean at you mask professionally.

1320
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:43,559
Speaker 1: And speaking of schools, the Leadership Institute is behind campus reform.

1321
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 1: I got that right, correct, Yes, the leadership in stuts

1322
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 1: campus form. Okay, so they're the ones who are helping

1323
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:54,120
Speaker 1: you guys stay afloat and have all of these great

1324
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:59,439
Speaker 1: programs across all these campuses. What are using As it

1325
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: relates to campuses in the IVY League. I know you

1326
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: had a story about what the heck was going on

1327
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: in Harvard with the attempts to cancel anyone from appearing

1328
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:15,800
Speaker 1: who had a relationship or connection to the Trump administration. Yeah,

1329
01:21:15,880 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: it was. It was really crazy because there was there

1330
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: were a few weeks back when there were there was

1331
01:21:22,880 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: a petition circulating at Harvard University, which you know, the

1332
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: self proclaimed fristigious school that you know, many of our

1333
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:34,760
Speaker 1: presidents and members of Congress attend and graduate from. There

1334
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,800
Speaker 1: was a petition circul lingue at that school calling on

1335
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: Harvard to ban any Trump administration official from going into

1336
01:21:45,080 --> 01:21:47,680
Speaker 1: a teaching or fellowship rule with the school. You know,

1337
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 1: oftentimes outgoing administrations, members of that administration will we'll get

1338
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:57,720
Speaker 1: jobs in higher education talking about and kind of um

1339
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: and teaching students about what it's like to work in

1340
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:06,000
Speaker 1: the presidential administration. That's all valuable, and but it seems

1341
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 1: that they're only interested in hearing those experiences if it's

1342
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,160
Speaker 1: from a democratic administration, because in this case, they didn't

1343
01:22:12,200 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: want to hear from Trump administration officials. I do think

1344
01:22:15,439 --> 01:22:19,320
Speaker 1: it's it's important point out that there there wasn't known

1345
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: any known outspoken support from the Harvard administration, but they

1346
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 1: didn't exactly denounce it either. They but I think the

1347
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:38,560
Speaker 1: sentiments that led these students to literally call on the

1348
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 1: school to ban Trump administration officials, I think just goes

1349
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,880
Speaker 1: to just goes to show the kind of environment that

1350
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:52,320
Speaker 1: Harvard administrators and Harvard professors are creating in which students

1351
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: feel emboldened or empowered to call for a band like

1352
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:59,640
Speaker 1: this in the first place. You know, we've seen analysis

1353
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: after analysis that we've done with the Leadership Instuose Campas

1354
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: Reform showing that academics and higher education they give political

1355
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:10,400
Speaker 1: donations to Democrats or Republicans by about a nine to

1356
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: one ratio. And you know, you could say, well, that

1357
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: doesn't really seep into the classroom, except we've gotten so many,

1358
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: you know, examples of quizzes and reading assignments and lectures

1359
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: from professors that are just so anti capitalist, anti conservative,

1360
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: just leftist pocket points one after another, in many cases

1361
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:39,680
Speaker 1: even anti American lectures and quizzes and reading assignments, And

1362
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,760
Speaker 1: so you have to didn't wonder, is there are there

1363
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,360
Speaker 1: political donations and their views that fuel those are they

1364
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 1: not seeing seeping in the classroom, because it really seems

1365
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 1: like they are. Yeah, they have to be. It absolutely

1366
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:56,880
Speaker 1: has to go. Follow the money. People follow the money

1367
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,640
Speaker 1: and you'll understand where the politics is going to go

1368
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,160
Speaker 1: because it is never too far behind. We're talking to

1369
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 1: John Street from Campus Reformed. Johnah got just about a

1370
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,880
Speaker 1: minute and a half left. I know you sent me

1371
01:24:08,960 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: a note and said, the biggest problem going forward on

1372
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: college campuses is coming from overseas. Do you really, guys,

1373
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: do you guys really rate China Communist China as the

1374
01:24:22,439 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 1: greatest risk we face in our colleges. I do, and

1375
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: here's why. So we have uncovered campus after campus after

1376
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: campus that has opened and it's still operating in many cases.

1377
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 1: And we have a map that you can see on

1378
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,160
Speaker 1: campus reform dot org that shows just the number of

1379
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: confucious institutes that are operating college campuses. Now. China builds

1380
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:52,519
Speaker 1: these as cultural centers where people can learn the language

1381
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 1: and the culture of China. All that's fine and great

1382
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: if that was indeed the case. But what we're seeing

1383
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: is that China, by its own admission, one of their

1384
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:07,799
Speaker 1: prior propaganda ministers, not to mention, our own intelligence agencies

1385
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:10,959
Speaker 1: here in the US have said that these confusion institutes

1386
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: operate as no more than propaganda center centers for the

1387
01:25:15,479 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. And then when you look at just

1388
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: the amounts of money flowing into these universities in medicases,

1389
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:28,960
Speaker 1: millions of dollars per university, billions of dollars across the

1390
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: entire country that these countries are receiving from China, Chinese

1391
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: entities which we all know are controlled by the Chinese

1392
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: Communist part because there is really no such thing as

1393
01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,320
Speaker 1: as an independent entity in China. When you see that

1394
01:25:42,439 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: money flowing in from China, and then add that to

1395
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:51,440
Speaker 1: the confusion institutes operating on college campuses yet spewing Chinese propaganda,

1396
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:55,640
Speaker 1: you really have to wonder are these really American universities

1397
01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: with American interests at hearts or have we allowed kind

1398
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 1: us to seep into American academia and influence our young

1399
01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:09,800
Speaker 1: people's minds who would then go on to become our

1400
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: nations leaders. And I think that's a real threat to

1401
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: our democracy and one that we really need to be

1402
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:18,280
Speaker 1: on top of. I think you're generous when you say

1403
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: seep into their minds. It's more like the coronavirus has

1404
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: infected the bodies. We have the communist virus, which I

1405
01:26:28,240 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 1: know that's dramatic, but it does seem to have a

1406
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: unique parallel. His name is John Street. He is a

1407
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:38,640
Speaker 1: managing editor of Campus Reform dot org. You should go

1408
01:26:38,840 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: there and find out what they are doing to help

1409
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 1: the kids on college campuses. And if you have a

1410
01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:48,080
Speaker 1: kid on a college campus or our one, you should

1411
01:26:48,120 --> 01:26:50,840
Speaker 1: go there. Anyway, Thank you, my friend. Happy New Year

1412
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: to you and yours. Happy to hear Mike thinks and

1413
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 1: he's gone. Michael Palca also taking a break on The

1414
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We'll be right back. You're in the

1415
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:10,519
Speaker 1: Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome

1416
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:13,519
Speaker 1: back to the Buck Sexton Show. Mike Opelka in for

1417
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 1: my friend Buck and it. Just got a text message

1418
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 1: from a buddy mine named Henry, who said, you know

1419
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:23,840
Speaker 1: that that guy from the Campus Reform group, Why didn't

1420
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,920
Speaker 1: you talk to him about the story The New York

1421
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:33,760
Speaker 1: Times ran, which basically celebrated a woman being canceled and

1422
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: being forced to renounce her entrance into college because of

1423
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:43,679
Speaker 1: a years old video where she used the N word

1424
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:48,519
Speaker 1: in a three second video. Basically, it was used against her.

1425
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 1: Somebody got this video years ago waited until this young

1426
01:27:54,040 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: lady had selected her college and then posted it. And

1427
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 1: this reckoning, as the New York Times called it, has

1428
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 1: pretty much ruined this young girl's life. At the moment,

1429
01:28:08,040 --> 01:28:12,599
Speaker 1: she was the varsity cheering captain and dreamed of going

1430
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:16,760
Speaker 1: to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. And when she

1431
01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:19,840
Speaker 1: made the announcement that that's where she was headed she

1432
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: had been accepted, this guy unleashed this three second video

1433
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: from two or three years earlier, and her life was ruined.

1434
01:28:28,479 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: And I asked John, can we talk about this? And

1435
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: he said, no, We're still investigating this. We're still looking

1436
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 1: to make sure we can get the entire story on this,

1437
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are saying she was thrown out,

1438
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 1: that the school told her you can't come here, And

1439
01:28:46,280 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: it looks like responsible reporting is showing that the young

1440
01:28:50,200 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 1: lady pulled herself out of it. And maybe there was

1441
01:28:53,840 --> 01:28:56,680
Speaker 1: pressure from the school, maybe there wasn't. We don't know.

1442
01:28:57,200 --> 01:29:01,120
Speaker 1: But I always respect a journalist who says I'm not

1443
01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:03,720
Speaker 1: going to rush to get the story out just to

1444
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:07,800
Speaker 1: be first. I'd rather get the story right, and that's

1445
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: what John and the people at Campus Reform are doing.

1446
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: They're waiting until they get the whole what is their name,

1447
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:19,719
Speaker 1: Mimi Groves story in full, or they opine or posted online.

1448
01:29:20,880 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 1: I suspect this is my own thinking, nobody else that

1449
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 1: the school said. We understand there's outrage about this. We

1450
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: don't think it was intentional. This is my speculation again,

1451
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 1: why don't you take a gap year and withdraw and

1452
01:29:37,880 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 1: come back and maybe the opportunity will be here after

1453
01:29:42,600 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 1: a year. I'm just saying that is one possibility that

1454
01:29:47,160 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: may have happened, But I'm totally against this kind of

1455
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:56,160
Speaker 1: character assassination. People waiting with clips from teenagers from years

1456
01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 1: ago and saying, oh yeah, well what about the time

1457
01:29:59,439 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: you said this. It's really kind of evil, especially when

1458
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,479
Speaker 1: you take a fifteen year old's words and use it

1459
01:30:06,600 --> 01:30:10,879
Speaker 1: against an eighteen year old adult. It's kind of unfair,

1460
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 1: But that's just me, Michael Pelka stepping aside. When we

1461
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:16,639
Speaker 1: get back, I want to introduce you to a friend

1462
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:20,120
Speaker 1: of mine who is possibly the greatest survival trainer ever.

1463
01:30:20,640 --> 01:30:24,160
Speaker 1: Kreik Stewart joins us next on The Buck Sexton Show.

1467
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: on the Buck Sexton Show. Where does the time go out?

1468
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 1: Just looking up at the clock and it's almost time

1469
01:30:44,080 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: for us to get out of here. I can't believe it.

1470
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:48,800
Speaker 1: I'll be back tomorrow, though, and we'll look back at

1471
01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: some of the moments of twenty twenty, some of the highs,

1472
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 1: some of the lows. Some of the most embarrassing things

1473
01:30:55,880 --> 01:30:59,479
Speaker 1: that we witnessed in the past twelve months, and there

1474
01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:01,600
Speaker 1: were a lot of them have to do with the

1475
01:31:01,680 --> 01:31:05,640
Speaker 1: mainstream media. I'm not gonna lie about it, and I

1476
01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:09,880
Speaker 1: think they really should be embarrassed by some of their behaviors,

1477
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:13,599
Speaker 1: especially those people over at CNN, who I don't think

1478
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 1: remember what journalism really is about. Jake Tapper and Jim

1479
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:20,599
Speaker 1: Acosta getting a lot of heat in the last twenty

1480
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:26,680
Speaker 1: four hours. Tapper accusing the Press Secretary Kaylee mcinaney of

1481
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,600
Speaker 1: just lying every time she opens her mouth. This was

1482
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:34,160
Speaker 1: Tapper two days ago talking about how he'd never book

1483
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 1: her on the show. There are some people that are

1484
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:40,040
Speaker 1: such they're just so mendacious. I just wouldn't put them

1485
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 1: on air. Kaylee mcinaney. I never booked her. Jason Miller

1486
01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 1: from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. I mean,

1487
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 1: these are just people who just they just tell lies

1488
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: the way that you know most people breathe. And yet

1489
01:31:55,920 --> 01:32:00,479
Speaker 1: they will book Eric Swalwell, they will book Adam Schiff,

1490
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: they will book people who wouldn't know the truth of it.

1491
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:08,680
Speaker 1: Came up and bit him on the face. Don't get

1492
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 1: me started on Brian Stelter. Oh oh, but Acosta, Jim Acosta,

1493
01:32:13,640 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 1: also known as a Bilio. That's his real first name,

1494
01:32:18,280 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 1: a Bilio Acosta. He changed it to a more acceptable name.

1495
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 1: I guess he thinks in the media. It's the same

1496
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 1: thing with the mayor of New York who was born

1497
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 1: Warren Wilhelm but changed his name to build Blasio because

1498
01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 1: Bill de Blasio sounds like some of you who'd vote for.

1499
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 1: True story. He changed his name when he got into

1500
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:47,799
Speaker 1: politics because he was worried people wouldn't vote for Voen

1501
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: Wilhelm unless they were voting for the chancellor or de Fjora.

1502
01:32:53,200 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe de Blasio. Anyway, the word on Jim Hasta

1503
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:05,599
Speaker 1: is he's going to cover the presidency of Joe Biden

1504
01:33:06,200 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 1: a lot differently than he covered the presidency of Donald Trump.

1505
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:14,479
Speaker 1: Of course, we know you all are. You're going to

1506
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 1: give them a free pass. That's how you people operate.

1507
01:33:18,640 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: I've got more to say about the mainstream media because

1508
01:33:21,720 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 1: the Trump accountability project is still out there, and we'll

1509
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:27,479
Speaker 1: cover that before we get out of here tonight. But

1510
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: I see my friend Creek Stewart is holding My buddy,

1511
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: Creek Stewart, the man behind Fat Guys in the Woods

1512
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: and some of the greatest survival television you will ever see.

1513
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:43,400
Speaker 1: Creek is somebody I stalked as a viewer because I

1514
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: love to show Fat Guys in the Woods, and we

1515
01:33:46,160 --> 01:33:48,800
Speaker 1: became friends. I didn't really stalk him in the way

1516
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 1: of stalking, you know, just wrote him notes and said, Hey,

1517
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:55,240
Speaker 1: come on the radio, let's talk. And he is one

1518
01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 1: of the more fascinating guys, one of the youngest Eagle

1519
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,400
Speaker 1: Scouts ever in the history of scouting, and now he

1520
01:34:00,520 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 1: is the best survival trainer ever, skills that you will need,

1521
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:06,679
Speaker 1: and he's joining us here to talk about his brand

1522
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:09,639
Speaker 1: new show that's premiering, I guess in just a couple

1523
01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: of days. Creek Stewart, Welcome to the buck Sexton show

1524
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:15,519
Speaker 1: my friend. Oh Man, Mike, it's really good to talk

1525
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 1: to you. Man, so so good to be back on

1526
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 1: your show. Well, I'm glad you're here, and I will

1527
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 1: tell you when I look back on twenty twenty, and

1528
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see it go happy to see it. Leaving,

1529
01:34:27,000 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, the one guy I know who

1530
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:34,400
Speaker 1: could get through all of this, the lack of toilet paper,

1531
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:38,439
Speaker 1: the concerns about food, all of that stuff is Creek,

1532
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 1: because Creek's able to survive anything. So I'm wondering, how

1533
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 1: did you and your family fair during the COVID. Well,

1534
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:52,680
Speaker 1: we fared pretty well. You know. The twenty twenty was

1535
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,400
Speaker 1: a really interesting year for us too, So I mean,

1536
01:34:55,479 --> 01:34:58,639
Speaker 1: one thing for sure is that it really it really

1537
01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: made me think about my own preparations for hunkering down,

1538
01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, even as a survival instructor. You know, it

1539
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:10,760
Speaker 1: was a really interesting reminder for me and I have

1540
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: had a resurgence and just an interest in preparedness and

1541
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 1: long term food storage and honkering kind of bugging in skills,

1542
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 1: personally bugging in. I like that because I know you've

1543
01:35:24,960 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 1: often talked with me about what should be in a

1544
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: bugout bag. If you had to run pretty quickly from

1545
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: a situation. And I've got a bugout bag in the

1546
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: back of my car, and it's not my golf bag,

1547
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: even though a lot of you would suspect that. But

1548
01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 1: bugging in is making sure that where you stay or

1549
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 1: where you are has everything you need. God forbid something

1550
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 1: goes haywire completely in our world. You like to say,

1551
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:53,880
Speaker 1: it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

1552
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:57,800
Speaker 1: And we're starting to see more whens these days. Great,

1553
01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:01,479
Speaker 1: aren't we? Yeah, we sure are. You know. I used

1554
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 1: to I used to think that natural disasters were our

1555
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: number one threat, But I don't know. I don't know

1556
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: these days. I don't know if it's natural disasters anymore.

1557
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 1: So I'm for to find the home front for a

1558
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 1: lot of different reasons. I think that's why you know

1559
01:36:18,360 --> 01:36:20,639
Speaker 1: you'd be prepared for anything that comes down the pike.

1560
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 1: Now you have been. You've made several different shows on

1561
01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel, and you've looked at people who've been

1562
01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 1: amazing survivors. I've followed that series where you've showed us

1563
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 1: people who've made it through impossible situations. But you've got

1564
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 1: something new coming up, and it's debuting in a few days.

1565
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:44,640
Speaker 1: What's the new series about. Well, the new series is

1566
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: a continuation of the shows How to Survive. So the

1567
01:36:50,600 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 1: new show is called Could You Survive? With Creek Stewart

1568
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:57,880
Speaker 1: and it is a similar show concept to SOOS How

1569
01:36:57,920 --> 01:37:02,040
Speaker 1: to Survive. We are finding people who have struggled through

1570
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 1: real life survival scenarios and we're telling those stories. It

1571
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:09,000
Speaker 1: is in a new format, so we're telling them in

1572
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 1: a new and interesting way. A lot I'm teaching a

1573
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 1: ton of skills in this theories and we're really getting

1574
01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: down and dirty with the details of the stories that

1575
01:37:22,320 --> 01:37:26,559
Speaker 1: we're covering. We filmed the entire the entire production pretty

1576
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 1: much during the heat of COVID up in Canada, and

1577
01:37:29,960 --> 01:37:32,320
Speaker 1: so I had the opportunity to film in some really

1578
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:36,600
Speaker 1: unique places in Canada and just meet some absolutely incredible

1579
01:37:36,680 --> 01:37:40,280
Speaker 1: people who have survived the craziest stories survival stories I've

1580
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,600
Speaker 1: ever heard in my life. Can you give us a

1581
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 1: teaser on one of them, like, just a little snip

1582
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:50,640
Speaker 1: of one of these craziest surv stories. Yeah, absolutely, So.

1583
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 1: Our season premiere is Sunday on the Weather Channel and

1584
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:57,640
Speaker 1: one of the stories that we'll be opening with is

1585
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: a guy named Jose who lives in Texas, and he

1586
01:38:02,520 --> 01:38:06,639
Speaker 1: crashed his car on a busy highway. It drove off

1587
01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,799
Speaker 1: the road and into the woods, only about one hundred

1588
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: yards from a major highway. But he was so injured

1589
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 1: that it took him a full day to crawl from

1590
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 1: where he was in the woods he'd been thrown out

1591
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:22,880
Speaker 1: of the vehicle to crawl from there to his car,

1592
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 1: and he ended up having to survive literally right next

1593
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 1: to his car for days until someone found him. And

1594
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:33,880
Speaker 1: he was so injured that it was a struggle for

1595
01:38:34,040 --> 01:38:36,400
Speaker 1: him to even get into his car. And so I

1596
01:38:36,560 --> 01:38:41,520
Speaker 1: teach some really interesting kind of hybrid urban and survival

1597
01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 1: skills using vehicle parts and pieces. So it's a really

1598
01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: really unique and captivating story. You are like the survival mcgiver.

1599
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:53,799
Speaker 1: You know, you can look at something and say, Okay,

1600
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:56,760
Speaker 1: we have this, this and this, and it normally is

1601
01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 1: a car, but by the end of the day, it's

1602
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 1: going to be a shell. There's going to be a

1603
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:06,080
Speaker 1: stove in there, and we're gonna basically split the atom

1604
01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 1: as well. I just love the way you look at stuff.

1605
01:39:09,400 --> 01:39:12,000
Speaker 1: I have to tell the audience. Creek Stewart and I

1606
01:39:12,120 --> 01:39:15,599
Speaker 1: walked around New York City and looked at different survival things.

1607
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 1: And one of my favorite moments was walking around Central

1608
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 1: Park with you and I said, could could we survive

1609
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:27,280
Speaker 1: here if every everybody else was gone? You know, if

1610
01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 1: if the bomb dropped and all we had with Central Park?

1611
01:39:30,600 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 1: And you said, yeah, yeah, look look over here, got docs,

1612
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 1: you got squirrels, you got If you haven't eaten squirrels, stew,

1613
01:39:37,280 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 1: you haven't lived. So I just love that way of

1614
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:44,960
Speaker 1: looking at the world and finding ways to make use

1615
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:48,800
Speaker 1: of things that may not be apparent based on their

1616
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: intended use. So this is gonna be very cool. This

1617
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 1: is premiering on the Weather Channel Sunday evening, episode one.

1618
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,280
Speaker 1: It is it called can You Survive? This? Is that

1619
01:39:59,400 --> 01:40:04,760
Speaker 1: what it is? It's called Could You Survive? Could You Survive? Sunday? Yeah,

1620
01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 1: Sunday evening at ten pm Eastern. Well, you know I'm

1621
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 1: going to be watching because I'm a creek freaking that

1622
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Speaker 1: is kind of where I fall. I have a thought

1623
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 1: for you, though, Craike. You know, it's been a while

1624
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,960
Speaker 1: since Fat Guys in the Woods, Right, It's been a

1625
01:40:20,080 --> 01:40:23,160
Speaker 1: few years, and there were only X number of episodes

1626
01:40:23,240 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 1: of this fantastic series. I think we could do fatter

1627
01:40:27,720 --> 01:40:31,200
Speaker 1: guys in the woods because all of us who've gained

1628
01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:34,560
Speaker 1: a few weights, a few pounds since COVID could be

1629
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:37,760
Speaker 1: brought out into the woods and maybe help people burn

1630
01:40:37,880 --> 01:40:43,040
Speaker 1: off what they've put on while sitting at home. Free idea.

1631
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,720
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I may run with that.

1632
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:48,920
Speaker 1: I tell you what, There's never been a better time

1633
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: to be in the woods than this past year. Though.

1634
01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, you're away from people, You're away from all

1635
01:40:53,800 --> 01:40:56,040
Speaker 1: the craziness going on. The woods is a good place

1636
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:59,560
Speaker 1: right now, and it's full of food and shelter and

1637
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:02,720
Speaker 1: and time to think, which is what a lot of

1638
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:06,439
Speaker 1: people really should be doing these days, sitting and think.

Speaker 1: So if you want to follow me, politics pretty much

1670
01:42:58,160 --> 01:43:04,040
Speaker 1: shows up on Twitter. Facebook is a combination and Instagram.

1671
01:43:04,280 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: I tend to lean a little bit over to kind

1672
01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:11,439
Speaker 1: of the artsie FARTZI stuff or just flat out silly stuff.

1673
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 1: I post a lot of memes and there are a

1674
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: lot of funny memes out there, and those are based

1675
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 1: in politics. Yes, so join me, hang out with me tomorrow.

1676
01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:24,560
Speaker 1: We will dive into some of the some of the

1677
01:43:24,680 --> 01:43:28,480
Speaker 1: crazy stories of the past twelve months, obviously the pandemic

1678
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:32,160
Speaker 1: being among them one of the biggest, and will replace

1679
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,960
Speaker 1: some of the great pandemic parodies of the last year,

1680
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:39,519
Speaker 1: because there are many many. But I was just checking

1681
01:43:39,560 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 1: out what Biden was saying today, Joe Biden, who had

1682
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:47,280
Speaker 1: one of his briefings today, And it sounds to me

1683
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden is going to be a big spender.

1684
01:43:52,280 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 1: You know, he's dropping hints that if and when he

1685
01:43:55,560 --> 01:44:00,320
Speaker 1: is sworn in on the twentieth of January, god for bid,

1686
01:44:00,880 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 1: that he's going to be a tax and spend liberal.

1687
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:08,759
Speaker 1: And here's a little bit of the hint he gave today.

1688
01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 1: You know, the founders are pretty smart, and there's a

1689
01:44:12,040 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: reason why all the states and localities have to have

1690
01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: a balanced budget. Were allowed federally to run a deficit.

1691
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:23,120
Speaker 1: Federally allowed to run a deficit. Sounds very different from

1692
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden in nineteen ninety one, the guy who

1693
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:31,120
Speaker 1: was standing up in the Senate screaming about freezing everything

1694
01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:34,320
Speaker 1: in the federal budget, about really putting the brakes on

1695
01:44:34,479 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 1: all federal spending. Do you think this guy would be

1696
01:44:38,520 --> 01:44:42,559
Speaker 1: allowed in the Democrat Party today? We should freeze federal spending.

1697
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean so security as well. I'm at Medicare, Medicaid, Meckin,

1698
01:44:48,160 --> 01:44:53,639
Speaker 1: I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. Can

1699
01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:59,799
Speaker 1: you imagine if a Democrat said that on the campaign trail?

1700
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:03,960
Speaker 1: If a Democrat said I think we should freeze all

1701
01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:09,000
Speaker 1: federal spending, they would have marched him out of the party.

1702
01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 1: He would not have been allowed into a convention if

1703
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:13,679
Speaker 1: they had a convention. We all know it was virtual,

1704
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: But this is kind of like going back and looking

1705
01:45:16,520 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 1: at what JFK said because Kennedy. Kennedy would have been

1706
01:45:21,520 --> 01:45:25,240
Speaker 1: tossed out of the Democratic Party before he even got

1707
01:45:25,400 --> 01:45:30,160
Speaker 1: his card filled out. Joe Biden from nineteen ninety one

1708
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: a little bit different than Joe Biden from twenty twenty.

1709
01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:40,160
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy might have gotten some GOP votes.

1710
01:45:40,640 --> 01:45:44,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we should freeze federal spending. I mean

1711
01:45:44,240 --> 01:45:48,519
Speaker 1: so security as well. I meant Medicare, Medicaid, I meant meckin,

1712
01:45:48,880 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. If only,

1713
01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 1: if only there were Democrats who believed that if you

1714
01:45:57,000 --> 01:46:00,639
Speaker 1: don't have money, you shouldn't spend it. Now they're busy

1715
01:46:00,760 --> 01:46:05,800
Speaker 1: sending money over to Pakistan to do gender studies. They're

1716
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 1: busy sending almost a half a billion dollars to Central

1717
01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:14,280
Speaker 1: America to find out why people want to come to America,

1718
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:20,280
Speaker 1: why people would risk walking hundreds of miles in really

1719
01:46:20,479 --> 01:46:24,639
Speaker 1: rough terrain to come to America. While if the two

1720
01:46:24,680 --> 01:46:29,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars stimulus checks pass, guess what, some of the

1721
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 1: undocumented people who came here from Central America will be

1722
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:38,040
Speaker 1: eligible to fill out the paperwork and get some of

1723
01:46:38,120 --> 01:46:43,640
Speaker 1: those checks. I'm just I'm not happy about it, And

1724
01:46:43,680 --> 01:46:45,320
Speaker 1: the things I want to say I can't say on

1725
01:46:45,400 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 1: the radio. We'll dive into some more this tomorrow and

1726
01:46:48,200 --> 01:46:50,519
Speaker 1: we'll get into, as I said, some of the memories

1727
01:46:50,680 --> 01:46:54,599
Speaker 1: of the past twelve months, the good, the bad, the ugly,

1728
01:46:55,520 --> 01:47:00,240
Speaker 1: and maybe look hopefully at the coming year. At least

1729
01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,040
Speaker 1: we'll try to. I've got a couple of surprises up

1730
01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:05,479
Speaker 1: my sleeve. You'll have to be here to find out.

1731
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,880
