Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake American, Bring You're a great American Again
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show begins. He's a great guy. No.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca back in the chair for Buck Sexton. I
Speaker 1: am here tonight tomorrow, and we'll say goodbye to twenty
Speaker 1: twenty between tonight and tomorrow. I won't be here on
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. That's the best of Buck. But I
Speaker 1: am here tonight and we're going to take care of business,
Speaker 1: try and cover everything we can, dealing with what's going
Speaker 1: on in DC and some other stuff happening around the
Speaker 1: world as well as we're going to look ahead to
Speaker 1: next week. As you know, we've got the runoff elections
Speaker 1: in Georgia and we're going to try and track down
Speaker 1: Scott Pressler. He's one of the people who's knocking on
Speaker 1: doors and trying to make sure the Republicans win those
Speaker 1: runoffs in Georgia, and we'll find out what he's up to.
Speaker 1: We also have the Joint Session of Congress where the
Speaker 1: electoral votes will be certified or contested, and we're hearing
Speaker 1: there is going to be some contesting, so we will
Speaker 1: deal with that, and there may be some rallies on
Speaker 1: the streets, and we're anticipating some pretty large crowds that
Speaker 1: are going to be there. And one of the people
Speaker 1: who will be there is one of my favorite people
Speaker 1: of all in the world of journalism and media. She's
Speaker 1: someday I just met this year for the first time.
Speaker 1: Her name is Tracy Beans. She is the brains behind
Speaker 1: Uncovered DC dot com. Uncovered DC dot com as a
Speaker 1: website you should be visiting if you are not. And
Speaker 1: in addition to the commitment to finding the truth and
Speaker 1: putting the truth out there without fear or favor, as
Speaker 1: they used to say at The New York Times, but
Speaker 1: they really mean it at Uncovered DC, Tracy is also
Speaker 1: one of the nicest people you'd ever meet in your
Speaker 1: whole life, and so I'm really thrilled she's here with us.
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, I'm going to put her in
Speaker 1: the top ten of all the people I know on
Speaker 1: the planet. Tracy Bean's my friend. Welcome. Hi, that's so,
Speaker 1: how do I thank you? Oh? You're welcome. See now
Speaker 1: you get it. A lot of people don't understand how
Speaker 1: to take a compliment and the only way to take
Speaker 1: a compliment is not to reject it, is not to
Speaker 1: diminish yourself, but just to simply say thank you. Wow,
Speaker 1: thanks Casey. And now back to the countdown. So Tracy
Speaker 1: Bean's at Uncovered DC a place that you should go
Speaker 1: and visit. Is just as I said, one of my
Speaker 1: favorite people. But she's a journalist dedicated to finding the truth,
Speaker 1: sharing the truth, etc. And I want to talk about
Speaker 1: next week and what's happening on the sixth of January.
Speaker 1: But you've got you've always got something bubbling over at
Speaker 1: Uncovered DC. What is bubbling? What can you tease us with? Well,
Speaker 1: it's bubbling a little bit, you know, Um, there's in
Speaker 1: the COVID world, people are just really getting fed up, Mike.
Speaker 1: I think you're you're you know, you're seeing the clips
Speaker 1: of restaurant owners, you know, joining in in warehouses with
Speaker 1: a bunch of their restaurant owner friends and just proclaiming
Speaker 1: they're going to ignore these shutdowns, and new data is
Speaker 1: coming out about them. You know how how asymptomatic spread
Speaker 1: is not a thing, which is something we've been talking
Speaker 1: about for months, almost a year now. Well, now, brave
Speaker 1: people are starting to step forward and talk about the
Speaker 1: politicization of the lockdowns, why they why they decided to
Speaker 1: lockdown in the face of data that didn't really jive
Speaker 1: with the conclusion. And so I've got a piece that
Speaker 1: I'm working on which will cover somebody very brave, a
Speaker 1: couple of people actually willing to put their names on
Speaker 1: the record and come forward about some things going on
Speaker 1: in Nevada. Okay, they're going to actually allow their names
Speaker 1: in print. They're not afraid of being docked or threatened
Speaker 1: or all that stuff. Way past that point. As I
Speaker 1: think I said to you very early in the beginning,
Speaker 1: I don't like to print stories without on the record sources.
Speaker 1: And in a rare occasion like this where somebody actually
Speaker 1: has the guts to stand up for what's right, it's
Speaker 1: really really awesome to be able to print their name
Speaker 1: and have them stand by it. And it's going to
Speaker 1: be something. I hate teasers, but I'm not done with
Speaker 1: it yet, so good it'll be something. Well when you
Speaker 1: say it's something. And as Tracy Beans did say, she
Speaker 1: likes to be on the record at all times with
Speaker 1: confirmed sources, not saying if true. No, she's got the
Speaker 1: statements from the people. So this is a good thing,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to be waiting with bated breath, as
Speaker 1: they say, and hopefully today good good, good good. So
Speaker 1: here's the deal, people, You just put uncovered DC dot
Speaker 1: com in your browser. Give it, you know, give it
Speaker 1: a link, save the link, and go there every day
Speaker 1: and you'll be smarter. You might even play better on
Speaker 1: Jeopardy if you go there every single day, which I'm
Speaker 1: already missing Alex Trebek? Can I say that before we
Speaker 1: talk about next week? Are you like me? Are you
Speaker 1: missing Alex Trebek because we're out of new Alex Trebeck
Speaker 1: episodes on Jeopardy. He was just a great man. I
Speaker 1: didn't know him personally, obviously, but it was just great.
Speaker 1: He reminds me of my grandma my grandpa, like being
Speaker 1: at their house and having dinner over there when my
Speaker 1: parents were working and just they were watching Jeopardy, and
Speaker 1: it just reminds me of my childhood. Oh. I thought
Speaker 1: you were going to say they asked you questions over dinner.
Speaker 1: Well they did. Oh good, good. Well that's good too
Speaker 1: that I learned a lot on Jeopardy. Well you do.
Speaker 1: Just by watching it, your IQ can go up ten points.
Speaker 1: I guarantee you. And I was such a big fan,
Speaker 1: but I'm in such an add mode as we get
Speaker 1: to the end of the year. I bounced around on topics,
Speaker 1: but I want to be laser focused about next week. Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. January sixth is a big day with a
Speaker 1: Joint Session of Congress. But more than the five hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty five people gathered, they are going to be
Speaker 1: I imagine maybe five hundred thousand people showing up. I
Speaker 1: think there'll be more, Mike, Honestly, I think there will
Speaker 1: be more people here this time than the first go
Speaker 1: round when we spoke, only because the first go round
Speaker 1: was completely organic ressroots thing. There was no direction from
Speaker 1: President Trump. This time he asked for people to come.
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot of people who did not
Speaker 1: make the trip the other two times that will be
Speaker 1: coming to DC this time. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: it's getting so big that the Hotel Harrington, it appears,
Speaker 1: has now They wrote this letter. Do you want me
Speaker 1: to read it real quick? Yeaick, yeah, sure. This is
Speaker 1: one of the hotels that was supposed to be taking
Speaker 1: reservations from people coming for this rally. Yeah. So yesterday
Speaker 1: they put out this statement Washington, DC has been our
Speaker 1: home for one hundred and six years. We join with
Speaker 1: all of our guests, visitors, staff, and neighbors in our
Speaker 1: concern and desire for everyone's health and safety. We appreciate
Speaker 1: the trust our guests have placed in us over the years.
Speaker 1: We wish to continue to earn it. We can't control
Speaker 1: what happens outside. We are taking additional steps to protect
Speaker 1: the safety of our visitors, guests, and employees. Hotel Harrington
Speaker 1: will be closed on January fourth, fifth, and sixth. We
Speaker 1: will not be accommodating guests, with the exception of our
Speaker 1: long term residents who call our hotel home. Refunds will
Speaker 1: be made for all prepaid reservations. Notifications are being sent
Speaker 1: to all reservation holders beginning today. Wow. So this is
Speaker 1: one of the hotels that was expecting guests who were
Speaker 1: going to be attending rallies and events on January sixth.
Speaker 1: Aimed at what some are using the hashtag stop the
Speaker 1: Steel and to overturn the current results of the election
Speaker 1: and decertify the Electoral College votes. And they are worried
Speaker 1: about I guess violence. I think they just don't they
Speaker 1: want to deter people from coming. I think that, you know,
Speaker 1: Mayor Bowser before the last event, changed COVID restrictions for
Speaker 1: quarantine and all kinds of other things trying to deter
Speaker 1: people from coming in. But you know that's not happening.
Speaker 1: People are still coming and it's going to be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what happens that day with all of these
Speaker 1: people in DC from all in the middle of the week,
Speaker 1: mind you, Mike, Yeah, this is a Wednesday. It's a
Speaker 1: big midweek thing. I have a reservation. I'm planning on
Speaker 1: getting into town on the evening of the fifth, having
Speaker 1: a half smoke at Ben's Chili Bowl, you know, getting
Speaker 1: a good hotdog and chili in me before getting up
Speaker 1: early Wednesday and attending whatever is going on. So I
Speaker 1: will be in DC. I was not staying at that
Speaker 1: hotel that is telling people we're closing, but I will be.
Speaker 1: I know, I can't. This is I'm wondering if there
Speaker 1: has been pressure from the left to tell hotels to
Speaker 1: close down. Well, I know that there's a lot of
Speaker 1: price gouging going on also, Mike, Well, I can tell
Speaker 1: you this. If you're a smart shopper like me, and
Speaker 1: you use an app like Hotel Tonight, you're not going
Speaker 1: to be gouged. I can tell you I got a
Speaker 1: pretty good deal. It's crazy because I think that the
Speaker 1: Trump Hotel is now at forty six hundred dollars a night.
Speaker 1: Get out, seriously, four six hundred dollars a night for
Speaker 1: the What do you get? You better get Donald and
Speaker 1: Milania bringing you dinner, literally serving you in bed right. Wow.
Speaker 1: So I'm not going to ask you where you're staying,
Speaker 1: and I'm certainly not going to tell people where I
Speaker 1: am staying. But I am within walking distance of everything.
Speaker 1: So I have plans to be in DC and you
Speaker 1: and I better make a connection to cover whatever's going
Speaker 1: on there. I will tell you I'm trying to use
Speaker 1: every last favor I have to see if might be
Speaker 1: able to get into the White House, oh on that day,
Speaker 1: because I think getting a one day temporary press pass
Speaker 1: to the White House that would be the place to be.
Speaker 1: I would say there's going to be some fireworks there.
Speaker 1: It seems like things are shaping up like this strategy
Speaker 1: of decertification is kind of going all the way here.
Speaker 1: It looks like Pennsylvania released some information yesterday. It's really
Speaker 1: going to fall on some of these governors. But I
Speaker 1: think that these congressmen and senators have more than enough
Speaker 1: information in their hands or should to debate these issues,
Speaker 1: and at the very worst case, you know, just prolong
Speaker 1: and delay this to bring it to a House vote,
Speaker 1: in which case on January sixth, we may be celebrating.
Speaker 1: I would hope, so, I would hope. So the numbers
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Pennsylvania seemed to show that there
Speaker 1: were more than two hundred thousand votes than they have
Speaker 1: registered voters. No, wasn't that. That wasn't it. No, that
Speaker 1: wasn't it. It was there were more than two hundred
Speaker 1: thousand votes. Then they say people voted, Well, that's it.
Speaker 1: I thought that was kind of the same thing. No, No,
Speaker 1: because there are six million registered voters in in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 1: So basically what they did was they took the total
Speaker 1: ballots cast and then the total votes counted from the
Speaker 1: county data and Shore data the short system, which is
Speaker 1: what actually calculates everything at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: and they subtracted the difference between the two of them
Speaker 1: to find that two hundred and two thousand, three hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy seven more ballots were cast than voters who voted,
Speaker 1: So that would be enough to bridge the margin that
Speaker 1: has been declared. Now, is this going anywhere or is
Speaker 1: this going to be part of the January sixth that's discussion.
Speaker 1: They're calling for them to decertify Pennsylvania's results. That's what
Speaker 1: they're calling for, and Arizona apparently has an announcement coming
Speaker 1: as well. I think that, if anything, this will be
Speaker 1: in the arsenal of debate materials that these congressmen and
Speaker 1: senators will have at their disposal when they're trying to
Speaker 1: debate electoral votes. And to be honest, I shared a
Speaker 1: thread yesterday, Mike from some folks who put together other
Speaker 1: people objecting to electoral college votes on the floor in
Speaker 1: other elections passed because it's not all that you know
Speaker 1: of an obscure practice. The Democrats do it all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it seems like every time a Republican has won in
Speaker 1: recent years, the Democrats have spent this day of certification
Speaker 1: protesting and ultimately getting gaveled down. But they didn't have
Speaker 1: the evidence we have here, nor did they have the
Speaker 1: alternate slates of electors which we have here, and that
Speaker 1: is the critical difference. Tracy Beans, I'm up against the wall,
Speaker 1: but I have to tell you I will see you
Speaker 1: in DC god willing next week and let's stand up
Speaker 1: for what's right. Amen. Happy New Year to everyone too,
Speaker 1: and a happy New Year to you, and a happy
Speaker 1: New Year to all of you listening to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Pelka stepping aside for a couple. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. You're in the Freedom Heart. This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show Podcast. Welcome back to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Pelca, the Godfather, if you will, sitting
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck. Happy to be here, thrilled
Speaker 1: to be here hanging out with you. Many many things
Speaker 1: to get to today. I do want to focus on
Speaker 1: some of the some of the madness around the Georgia runoffs,
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to the money the Georgia runoffs
Speaker 1: they have raised since the election day. Since November third,
Speaker 1: the Georgia runoffs have brought in three hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million dollars between the four candidates, more than two hundred
Speaker 1: million to the Democrats. Think about that, two hundred million
Speaker 1: dollars for these two Democrat candidates, really with no track record,
Speaker 1: and they've already spent their money. They're putting out the
Speaker 1: word today that they need more money. If they're going
Speaker 1: to compete, they have to have more millions. Now, most
Speaker 1: of this money's coming, obviously from out of the state,
Speaker 1: outside of the state, a lot of it from Hollywood.
Speaker 1: The Republicans have raised over one hundred and fifty million dollars,
Speaker 1: So you have all this money pouring in for two
Speaker 1: Senate seats. Three hundred and fifty million dollars will probably
Speaker 1: hit four hundred million by the time the election rolls
Speaker 1: around a week from today. It's a staggering amount of money,
Speaker 1: and it shows you how important these elections are. But
Speaker 1: the Democrats are starting to get a little concerned. We're
Speaker 1: hearing the Democrat establishment is saying, why are we pumping
Speaker 1: money into this state. We saw down ballot races not
Speaker 1: go the way we anticipated. We saw down ballot races
Speaker 1: all across the country. How many House seats did Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi lose? Virtually every contested House seat went to a Republican.
Speaker 1: And it looks like as every day grows longer in
Speaker 1: the Georgia race, we hear more and more stories about
Speaker 1: the crazy allegations against these candidates. This Warnock guy and
Speaker 1: the camp he was involved with. I know Kelly Lefler
Speaker 1: is saying that the allegations of abuse against the campers
Speaker 1: that are now rising up that they should be disqualifying.
Speaker 1: We will see, you know what we should do. There's
Speaker 1: a guy named Scott Pressler who's out knocking on doors
Speaker 1: in Georgia, and I think I can get a hold
Speaker 1: of him and we'll get the straight scoop from Scott Pressler.
Speaker 1: You should know Scott. You've seen him. He's all over
Speaker 1: the place on Fox. He's a very tall young man.
Speaker 1: I think he's just nineteen years old. This was the
Speaker 1: first election he voted in. And he's a conservative and
Speaker 1: he said, I'm also a gay man, a gay conservative,
Speaker 1: which is a new demographic for the GOP and I'm
Speaker 1: happy to see it developing. So I think we'll get
Speaker 1: Scott Pressel around the show tonight. I'm also going to
Speaker 1: play the host privilege card, and a little bit later,
Speaker 1: I want you to meet a friend of mine is
Speaker 1: a survival guy. Was one of the youngest Boy Scouts ever.
Speaker 1: I think it was a Boy Scout or reached the
Speaker 1: Eagle Scout at the time. He was about fifteen years old,
Speaker 1: might have been the sekest, second youngest Eagle Scout. Ever,
Speaker 1: his name is Kreek Stewart and he's got a TV
Speaker 1: show that's all about survival. It's on the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: He's got a new one coming out, and I want
Speaker 1: to bug him about the new show and get some
Speaker 1: stories out of him, because he's a fantastic guy. Especially now.
Speaker 1: You should know how to survive, especially in the time
Speaker 1: of the COVID, So it'll be an interesting rest of
Speaker 1: the program. Second hour on the way, Michael Pelca with
Speaker 1: you on the Buck Sexton Show as we say bye
Speaker 1: bye to twenty tonight and tomorrow we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The Bus Seston Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. And welcome back to the Buck
Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Pelca sitting from my friend Buck. Happy
Speaker 1: to be here in the Freedom Hunt, actually broadcasting from
Speaker 1: the constitutionally protected free speech bunker in the woods of Delaware.
Speaker 1: That's where I make my home. And yes, I am
Speaker 1: surrounded by intolerable liberals, but at least I have good
Speaker 1: conservative friends like my buddy Jonathan Honigg of The Capitalist Pig,
Speaker 1: and I've tapped on Jonathan, so we can get into
Speaker 1: some of the craziness around the markets and bitcoin and
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. Jonathan Honig, it's been too long,
Speaker 1: my friend. Welcome back, sir Mike, thank you for having back.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. My god, what a year has it been.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked a few times over the year,
Speaker 1: and at each time it seems that there's new twist
Speaker 1: turns drama, certainly when it comes to the COVID pandemic,
Speaker 1: but when it comes to the markets and the economy
Speaker 1: as well. The good news is we're ending on a
Speaker 1: high note. I mean, low unemployments, high stock prices. You
Speaker 1: mentioned insulation, worries of inflation, but still low inflation, and
Speaker 1: something called bitcoin up there at twenty five, twenty six,
Speaker 1: twenty eight, eight thousand dollars a coin. My god, what
Speaker 1: a year it's been. Yeah, I'm wondering does any of
Speaker 1: this make sense? You know, because if I think about
Speaker 1: the overall feeling on the street, on main Street, not
Speaker 1: on Wall Street, a lot of people are nervous. People
Speaker 1: are nervous about their jobs. We have all these restaurants
Speaker 1: that are going away, small businesses are at risk, and yet,
Speaker 1: like you said, stock market record highs. We've got unemployment
Speaker 1: at a kind of a reasonable level, not the record
Speaker 1: lows we had, and the cryptocurrency world is doing okay.
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem to balance out, Jonathan. Is there a
Speaker 1: financial sort of damocles hanging over our heads? Well, it is.
Speaker 1: It's it's almost a tail like this year of kind
Speaker 1: of two different economies. First and foremost is what we'll
Speaker 1: call the knowledge worker economy. And what's been pulling the
Speaker 1: economy forward. It's been pulling the stock market forward. I mean,
Speaker 1: what's been pulling really the world forward has been these
Speaker 1: high tech internets and tech companies liked the Amazons, liked
Speaker 1: the zooms, like the facebooks, that have basically kept us
Speaker 1: going during this pandemic. I mean, Mike, we really owe
Speaker 1: a debt of gratitude at the time the government is
Speaker 1: going after big technology stocks, and these are the companies
Speaker 1: that have kept us supplied, kept us fed, kept us connected,
Speaker 1: kept many of us able to work and continue to
Speaker 1: earn money during the pandemic. And you know, that's a
Speaker 1: big different think where we would be this year without Facebook,
Speaker 1: without Amazon, without Microsoft, for all these amazing companies that
Speaker 1: have created technology, and they those have been the ones
Speaker 1: that have really been pulling the stock market higher. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you've owned, let's say, an airline, you know, if
Speaker 1: you've owned a lot of the restaurants or retailers, you've
Speaker 1: suffered and you still haven't come back. But these companies
Speaker 1: that have been able to adapt, then they've been able
Speaker 1: to provide the technology that powers our lives. They've thrived,
Speaker 1: and that's been a big reason that the economy, you
Speaker 1: rid large, has prospered, and certainly the stock market as well.
Speaker 1: It's those big cap names that are pulling us forward.
Speaker 1: So I have to be happy about Amazon now, after
Speaker 1: I've been nervous about Jeff Bezos and all of his machinations.
Speaker 1: Now I have to pat him on the back. Well,
Speaker 1: if you know, think about the difference these days, Jeff
Speaker 1: are Mike of of returning a gift via Amazon. I'm
Speaker 1: during at Christmas gift via Amazon. You know, the label
Speaker 1: prints out, you leave it at your door, the UPS
Speaker 1: guy comes and picks it up. Or the old days,
Speaker 1: the pre Amazon days, when you would have to you know,
Speaker 1: get in your car, go to a parking lot, go
Speaker 1: to a venture you know, or is there park parking lots?
Speaker 1: Stand in line, especially during a pandemic. So there's no
Speaker 1: question that you know, these companies are succeeding. Those big
Speaker 1: tech tech cap big cap tech companies are succeeding because
Speaker 1: of the values they provide. But there is something else
Speaker 1: going on, and you kind of alluded to it. I mean,
Speaker 1: to supposedly help the economy or save the economy. The
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve has even doing one thing and one thing only,
Speaker 1: and that is printing a hell of a lot of
Speaker 1: money that's gone into a lot of risk assets. There
Speaker 1: was anecdotal evidence that a lot of the initial stimulus
Speaker 1: checks literally went into the stock market. You've also seen
Speaker 1: it with a lot of other what they call risk assets,
Speaker 1: and crypto is probably the best example. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: not a hater. This is a Bitcoin is a topic
Speaker 1: that brings out a lot of anger and emotion and people.
Speaker 1: I'm not a hater, but I can promise to this
Speaker 1: bitcoin or something as speculative that wouldn't have existed in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. It couldn't have existed in two
Speaker 1: thousand and nine, back when people were very afraid of
Speaker 1: risk in the midst of the global financial crisis. It's
Speaker 1: only because of all this money printing, all the speculation
Speaker 1: that's something like bitcoin I believe at least can thrive
Speaker 1: and prosper. That's exactly what we're seeing now. Money is
Speaker 1: flying into all types of risk assets, stocks, even gold
Speaker 1: and precious metals, bitcoin, and a lot of it has
Speaker 1: to do with potential risks about exactly what you said
Speaker 1: that money printing. People are worried about the value of
Speaker 1: a dollar, so they're buying any type of others called
Speaker 1: hard assets. Real estate's gone up quite a bit to
Speaker 1: try to protect against that risk. So lots of flun
Speaker 1: moving parts in this American economy. But one thing I
Speaker 1: think esher it's the resilience of the American worker in
Speaker 1: the American company. I mean, they've persevered, They've held on
Speaker 1: with or without stimulus, with or without the government lockdowns.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot to be said for the good
Speaker 1: old American worker and certainly the American entrepreneur during this
Speaker 1: pandemic and during twenty twenty. Yeah, I think the entrepreneurs
Speaker 1: are the ones who were seeing who recognize the amazons
Speaker 1: and the ups s and all of these types of
Speaker 1: industries were going to benefit, and they jumped in it
Speaker 1: and provided services to it. Provided packaging, provided everything. I've
Speaker 1: seen some real interesting service industries pop up in service
Speaker 1: to those huge industries that are keeping US afloat. But
Speaker 1: I want to drift over. You mentioned the cryptos. Cryptocurrencies
Speaker 1: are such a mystery to people, and I have to
Speaker 1: ask you, Jonathan Honick from the capitalist Big dot Com.
Speaker 1: I'm giving my elevator speech to people when they say
Speaker 1: what the heck is bitcoin? And tell me if I'm right,
Speaker 1: and you can correct me, please if I'm wrong, because
Speaker 1: I'm used to being corrected. I'm married twenty eight years.
Speaker 1: When someone says what the heck is bitcoin? I say, look,
Speaker 1: somebody created a finite amount of digital codes, individual digital codes.
Speaker 1: Each one represents a bitcoin. Let's say there's a million
Speaker 1: of them, and they put a value on those of
Speaker 1: a tenth of a penny, and you were allowed to
Speaker 1: buy any one of those million bitcoins. I'm sure there's
Speaker 1: probably like eighteen million dollars whatever. Now people are trading them,
Speaker 1: and only the interest in them, the individual's interest in them,
Speaker 1: and the lack of ability to print more, is determining
Speaker 1: their value. So they've gone from a tiny action to
Speaker 1: now currently over twenty six thousand dollars per bitcoin. Did
Speaker 1: I explain that correctly? You know, I think you're exactly right.
Speaker 1: I mean, bitcoin is a digital currency, exactly right, Mike.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a it's a series of ones and zeros,
Speaker 1: and you know, unlike the US dollar, which is backed
Speaker 1: by the full as they say, the full faith and
Speaker 1: credit of the American government, bitcoin is not backed by
Speaker 1: anything's as you said, it's a series of ones and zeros,
Speaker 1: a computer code of which a finite number will ever
Speaker 1: be created. Then there's a scheme, kind of a technique
Speaker 1: by which every I believe, ten minutes miners are able
Speaker 1: to create more coins. So there's a there's a small
Speaker 1: way in which additional coins at a slower rate can
Speaker 1: be created. But you're right, there's a finite supply. And
Speaker 1: this year, after about a decade, the popularity of bitcoin
Speaker 1: has exploded hundreds of percent. This year bitcoin has has
Speaker 1: risen And you know, I have to tell you, Mica,
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been married for twenty some years. I've
Speaker 1: been trading for twenty some years, and this really does
Speaker 1: bring me back to the late nineteen nineties, the Internet era.
Speaker 1: You know, back then, it wasn't bitcoin that was soaring,
Speaker 1: But it was these what they used to call just
Speaker 1: Internet companies soaring, and things like pets dot Com for example,
Speaker 1: would come public and say well, we're going to be
Speaker 1: the pet store for the Internet, and would get rewarded
Speaker 1: with huge, multi multibillion dollar valuations. What ultimately happened was
Speaker 1: that the Internet did succeed, right, I mean, of course
Speaker 1: we buy everything on the Internet now, but a lot
Speaker 1: of those individual companies did not. And that's my very brave,
Speaker 1: probably very foolish prediction for bitcoin is that the underlying technology,
Speaker 1: what's known as the blockchain technology, that will succeed, that
Speaker 1: will thrive, well, that'll be integrated in all elements of
Speaker 1: the American economy. But the price of bitcoin itself, and
Speaker 1: you know, the only thing I could point to is
Speaker 1: a is a competing a currency. And you know that's
Speaker 1: the thing, Mike. You know, it's hard to create a
Speaker 1: competing precious metal. You got gold, platinum, silver, and not
Speaker 1: much else. But in effect, anyone can create a competing cryptocurrency.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of them out there. There's Ripple,
Speaker 1: there's Ethereum, there's Bitcoin. And one of the major ones
Speaker 1: I mentioned Ripple, that company who behind that was actually
Speaker 1: sued by the SEC. In the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: that cryptocurrency has fallen by over fifty percent, So looks
Speaker 1: it's white hot now. And I'm a trend follower, so
Speaker 1: I say, you know, you'd ever want to bet against
Speaker 1: a rising tide, but in effect know where the exits are.
Speaker 1: These are heady times for cryptocurrency, and my senses the
Speaker 1: next one hundred percent or the next fifty percent is
Speaker 1: probably lower rather than higher. I think that's wise because
Speaker 1: a lot of people who are bitcoin fans are screaming
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars here we come, and that usually makes
Speaker 1: me very nervous when hucksters start getting into it. And
Speaker 1: you know, Mike, the thing to remember for all of
Speaker 1: our listeners is that you know, no one is I'm nippottent.
Speaker 1: No one knows the future. So when it comes to
Speaker 1: investing your money, the best piece of isaacond is give
Speaker 1: is don't make it an aller un decision. I mean,
Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety nine, if you know, if you
Speaker 1: own some text stocks at the top, you didn't get hurt,
Speaker 1: but if you went you know, all in, you really
Speaker 1: got hurt. So whether it's real estate in two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven, whether it's technology stocks in two in the
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine or bitcoin today, make it a part
Speaker 1: of your portfolio, you know, not the only not the
Speaker 1: only part. You know. We haven't had the debt discussion,
Speaker 1: but I know you're a guy who doesn't like debt.
Speaker 1: You're like me. Debt eventually weighs us down and holds us.
Speaker 1: Are you worried about all this government debt at all?
Speaker 1: I think we're the only ones that are worried. Like
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a little shocking as a as
Speaker 1: a physical conservative for many many years, and who, as
Speaker 1: you said me, knows the long term dangerous economic ramvacations
Speaker 1: of unchecked spending. I'm a little bit a god this
Speaker 1: year at spending under President Trump, you know, came to
Speaker 1: power promising to eliminate the debt. We've done just anything,
Speaker 1: but you've done exactly the opposite. We've piled a lot
Speaker 1: on top of it. And what worries me, Mike, isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily as a cataclysm day or all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: one day you wake up and there's fires earning and
Speaker 1: the ATMs don't work, and you know that's what's always
Speaker 1: kind of portrayed is this end of end of times cataclysm.
Speaker 1: What's unfortunately more likely to happen is frankly, exactly what
Speaker 1: we saw after President Obama. Remember back then, the stimulus
Speaker 1: and the spending was only about eight hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 1: That resulted in the slowest economic recovery, the slowest recovery
Speaker 1: in modern times. So as we're looking forward, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of my worry with all this debt, not that
Speaker 1: we're going to collapse and become a third world country,
Speaker 1: but that we're going to stagnate. And there's other examples
Speaker 1: of that as well. You know, Japan, after its bubble
Speaker 1: economy in the late nineteen eighties, they followed down exactly
Speaker 1: that same path, a lot of make work programs, a
Speaker 1: lot of spending, a lot of government debt, tremendous government debt,
Speaker 1: and their economy basically has been more abun for thirty years.
Speaker 1: So that's my big fear moving forward, not that you know,
Speaker 1: the US economy is going to fall off a cliff,
Speaker 1: but that we're going to stagnate, That unemployment's going to rise,
Speaker 1: the rate of growth that's going to slow. The new
Speaker 1: innovators don't pop up, and I think that's real fear
Speaker 1: moving forward to debt and inflation as well as you said.
Speaker 1: And they call it a silent tax, Mike, and it's
Speaker 1: really true. I mean, when they raised taxes on anyone,
Speaker 1: you can tell it's very obvious. But when your grocery bills,
Speaker 1: when your coffee bills, when your clothing bills start to
Speaker 1: march up ten to fifteen, twenty percent, that's a tax
Speaker 1: one or the other. And it all comes back to
Speaker 1: government spending, debt and controls. That's what we need to reverse.
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Jonathan, fiscal conservatism. That's my gospel when
Speaker 1: it comes to my personal finances. I so appreciate you,
Speaker 1: and I encourage anybody. If you like what Jonathan's putting
Speaker 1: down here, go to the Capitalist Pig dot com. Check
Speaker 1: them out, and we'll drag you back in here. In
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, little mister, Happy new year to all
Speaker 1: of your listeners. Let's make it a great one. And
Speaker 1: there he goes Jonathan Honig The Capitalist Pig, great solid conservative,
Speaker 1: fiscally conservative financial advice. My go to guy at the
Speaker 1: Capitalist Pig dot Com. Michael Pelka in for Box Sexton
Speaker 1: Stepping aside. We'll be right back. Thanks for listening to
Speaker 1: the buses and show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple podcast,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. We'll
Speaker 1: come back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka is
Speaker 1: sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton on this last
Speaker 1: Tuesday of twenty twenty. I know I keep saying it's
Speaker 1: the last Monday, the last Tuesday, but I'm so anxious
Speaker 1: to get rid of twenty twenty. I'm going to celebrate
Speaker 1: every last of the days that we have to deal with,
Speaker 1: and I'll be here tomorrow too to celebrate the last Wednesday.
Speaker 1: So join me, won't you? And you can also join
Speaker 1: me on social media. I've picked up a few followers
Speaker 1: on Twitter and a few more of you have jumped
Speaker 1: on Instagram and Facebook as well, So thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you for that. A couple of other things I noticed
Speaker 1: in the news outside of the politics. There is more
Speaker 1: to life than politics, even though there are days it
Speaker 1: doesn't feel that way. So on days when we have
Speaker 1: a lot of heavy news and big time political news,
Speaker 1: I also looked for stories that might be a little inspiring,
Speaker 1: like this one. This story out of Tennessee, where a
Speaker 1: seven year old boy saved his baby sister's life as
Speaker 1: their house was burning. This story happened a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago and it's just starting to make national news.
Speaker 1: In the small town of New Tazewell, Tennessee, where Chris
Speaker 1: and Nicole Davidson put their three kids in bed. They
Speaker 1: were asleep by eight thirty, but in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night they woke up to the smell of smoke
Speaker 1: and they found their house was on fire, but their
Speaker 1: twenty two month old daughter was trapped in her room,
Speaker 1: a baby twenty two months old trapped behind the smoke
Speaker 1: and flames. They went outside and Elijah, the seven year old, said,
Speaker 1: I can get through that window. I can climb through
Speaker 1: that window, and he did climbed into the window of
Speaker 1: the burning home, rescued his twenty two month old sister
Speaker 1: as the fire trucks were pulling up. The whole house
Speaker 1: was soon engulfed in flames, but everybody human was out
Speaker 1: and saved. The little kid is a hero, a huge hero.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to the Davidson family. Quick thinking on dad to
Speaker 1: lift little Eli up in through the window to save
Speaker 1: his sister and Eli a steel spine at the age
Speaker 1: of seven. He said, there was no way I was
Speaker 1: gonna let my baby sister die in the fire. How
Speaker 1: about one more quick good news story, the story of
Speaker 1: a ninety three year old veteran, a ninety three year
Speaker 1: old veteran Air Force Colonel John Hobson, who likes to
Speaker 1: keep busy and he whittles walking sticks and sells them
Speaker 1: to raise money for a local food bank. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: know about food banks being stretched to the limits. While
Speaker 1: John Hobson has done such a remarkable job and the
Speaker 1: word has gotten out, he has raised are you sitting
Speaker 1: down sixteen thousand dollars selling walking sticks in his little
Speaker 1: Ohio neighborhood? Sixteen grand from carving walking sticks? This retired
Speaker 1: Air Force colonel, at the age of ninety three is
Speaker 1: still serving this country. We stand and applaud you, sir.
Speaker 1: We would salute you, but that would be stolen valor.
Speaker 1: So we stand an applaud with a little bit of
Speaker 1: tear in our eye. Just maybe, Colonel, Thank you, God
Speaker 1: bless you, and to the young man Eli good works
Speaker 1: on good news everywhere. Michael Pelcas stepping aside on the
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show, You're in the Freedom mind This is
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show podcast. It is the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelcas sitting in for my friend Buck. Tonight and
Speaker 1: tomorrow we will wrap up twenty twenty with a look
Speaker 1: back at some of the crazier things we witnessed this
Speaker 1: year tomorrow night and boy, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: them that we witnessed. I'm sure you know them too.
Speaker 1: But I also want to talk about some of the
Speaker 1: crazy stuff going on today, some of the things related
Speaker 1: to the lockdowns, other stories happening in the news. So
Speaker 1: I've tapped into my friend Sarah Carter Sarah a carter
Speaker 1: dot Com. I used to work with Sarah the Blaze,
Speaker 1: one of the more enjoyable people in my Blaze years experience,
Speaker 1: and she's here with us tonight. Hello, my friend Sarah Carter.
Speaker 1: So thrilled that you are here. Oh, it's so great
Speaker 1: to hear your voice. Mike. I feel the same way.
Speaker 1: We're all very close. I mean, we all work together.
Speaker 1: You're right in the early days of the Blaze. Great
Speaker 1: memories at the Blaze, and I met great friends, lifelong
Speaker 1: friends like you and Buck and so many others that
Speaker 1: we worked with. So I'm really I'm really grateful to
Speaker 1: be on with you today at the end of twenty twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm opening the door and giving twenty twenty a good
Speaker 1: kick in the butt. See you go ahead, not gonna
Speaker 1: miss you. Although Sarah I talked about this earlier, I'm
Speaker 1: a little concerned about twenty twenty one. Did you read
Speaker 1: the Nostradamas story? Oh no, please do tell are we
Speaker 1: going to have like if this is a big end
Speaker 1: of the world thing, right, Mike, that you're gonna tell me,
Speaker 1: And that's going to scare me, but go ahead, well,
Speaker 1: go ahead tell me the story. If you read the
Speaker 1: Nostradamus predictions from five hundred plus years ago, Nostradamus was
Speaker 1: saying that this year will have asteroids and zombies on
Speaker 1: the earth. So I'm thinking COVID looks pretty good. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, Well, you know what, that's what I kept saying.
Speaker 1: Everybody kept joking around, But you know, there are people
Speaker 1: out there actually really worried now about the whole zombie
Speaker 1: apocalypse thing because of all these end of the world movies.
Speaker 1: So you know, I talked to the Deputy of the
Speaker 1: Health and Human Services. I interviewed him and he was saying, oh,
Speaker 1: there's all kinds of stories about even about the vaccine
Speaker 1: that they have to overcome. So no surprise, it started
Speaker 1: five hundred years ago with no stradomin writing rumors. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm putting out a series of predictions for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one under my new identity of Nostradomass, and they
Speaker 1: are they're just foolish predictions. And so be on the
Speaker 1: lookout for the Nostradomass predictions that I will be coming
Speaker 1: up with very shortly, unlike your email list for that,
Speaker 1: because I really want the Nostrademass predictions in my inbox
Speaker 1: every morning. Yeah, I'll be happy. I want happy to
Speaker 1: do that. There'll be a new Nostradomass prediction as many
Speaker 1: days as I can provide them. I'm going to have
Speaker 1: to go into some kind of a fever dream like
Speaker 1: I'm a democrat, like AOC has their little fever dreams
Speaker 1: about a socialist society, and they're I'll dream about whatever
Speaker 1: Nostra dumbass would come up with, and I'll post them
Speaker 1: with Well, let me tell you the scary part of that, Mike.
Speaker 1: The scary part of that is that their fever dream
Speaker 1: actually appear to be like some kind of real sci
Speaker 1: fi novel that's actually taking place in our society. Because
Speaker 1: every day I wake up and I wonder, am I
Speaker 1: living in upside down world? Am I living in a dream?
Speaker 1: What the heck happened to the United States of America
Speaker 1: and our planet? What is going on here? Because I
Speaker 1: really do feel even when you turn on just you're
Speaker 1: watching the news, you're reading a paper, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: I really feel like I am living in some kind
Speaker 1: of dystopian world. Yeah, we are that way. I was
Speaker 1: looking at Sarah Acarter dot com, your website, and I
Speaker 1: saw a story that is particularly dystopian in its nature,
Speaker 1: showing the story about the Oregon salon owner. How is
Speaker 1: this not nineteen eighty four come to life? Oh, it's
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's terrifying when you think about it.
Speaker 1: I mean we can look at it and go, is
Speaker 1: that for real? Is that an union story? Did? Was
Speaker 1: that a Babylon be No? I mean, here's a salon
Speaker 1: owner and you know, same as the Senator Lindsay Graham,
Speaker 1: that's her name. Um, she said that the organ Governor
Speaker 1: Brown actually terrorized her family. She's like, you know this,
Speaker 1: this is incredible. She's not the only person you know
Speaker 1: that is stuck or during the state's lockdowns, you know,
Speaker 1: and they were trying to find her fourteen thousand dollars
Speaker 1: for defying the rules and reopening her business during the pandemic,
Speaker 1: I mean, and then they came after her and her family.
Speaker 1: She filed a lawsuit on December eighteenth against Um, the
Speaker 1: governor Brown Um, claiming that forcing her business to shut
Speaker 1: down violator civil rights. And she's absolutely right. You know,
Speaker 1: she came on the Ingram Angle was actually on with
Speaker 1: her right after her. And I remember while she was
Speaker 1: telling her story, I was thinking to myself, what kind
Speaker 1: of world do we live in? How is it that
Speaker 1: we live in the United States of America, the United
Speaker 1: States of America, and we have governors like Kate brown
Speaker 1: overreaching the way that they have been utilizing fear in
Speaker 1: this COVID nineteen pandemic to basically seize power in their
Speaker 1: states and harm people. And you know, I'm really grateful
Speaker 1: for people like Lindsey Graham who are willing to fight
Speaker 1: people like Kate Browne. Remember it was remember it was
Speaker 1: Governor Kate Brown in Oregon who literally asked neighbors to
Speaker 1: turn on neighbors like if you see more than six
Speaker 1: people showing up at the Thanksgiving dinner at your neighbor's house,
Speaker 1: you should call the police on them. You should turn
Speaker 1: them in. When did we live? And I mean, this
Speaker 1: is literally what happened in Cuba. This is literally what
Speaker 1: happened during the Soviet time. And it's a creepy crawl, right,
Speaker 1: It's a creepy crawl way of usurping power and taking
Speaker 1: power over people, and they do so with fear. And
Speaker 1: we know now based on science and based on I
Speaker 1: mean facts, even like with New York City with the
Speaker 1: shutdown of restaurants, right, and so many people under the
Speaker 1: threat of losing their businesses and so many already have,
Speaker 1: but that the spread of the virus even in restaurants
Speaker 1: was like way below two percent. I mean, it was
Speaker 1: far less than anything that they imagine because it was
Speaker 1: so clean. If you look at the stats in New
Speaker 1: York that show that the restaurants and dining indoors was
Speaker 1: the fifth and it was way down the list in
Speaker 1: terms of the percentage of spread that it caused. It
Speaker 1: was in the single digits. When we have big box
Speaker 1: stores that are opening and the facilities that are allowed
Speaker 1: to be open and they are spreading the virus at
Speaker 1: three and four and five times what you're seeing in
Speaker 1: restaurants and hair salons. This lady, I was just reading
Speaker 1: the story on your site too. This lady said that
Speaker 1: was three days after the complaint she made publicly and
Speaker 1: opened her salon. Child Protective Services showed up at her
Speaker 1: house and there was never a complaint unless she complained
Speaker 1: about what the government was doing to her business. Well,
Speaker 1: and this is a threat, right, Mike. So you hold
Speaker 1: the government accountable, you confront them, and then the government
Speaker 1: uses the full power of the government against you. And
Speaker 1: this is what they did. I mean, she basically said
Speaker 1: that they sent Child Protective Services to her home and
Speaker 1: threatened the removal of her children. Can you imagine. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine just wanting to keep your business open. You
Speaker 1: want to be able to feed your family, You want
Speaker 1: to be able to save what you had worked for
Speaker 1: your whole life. You're doing everything you can to mitigate
Speaker 1: the spread of this virus. I mean, look, they're the
Speaker 1: ones that are determining. It's like Governor Kate Brown can
Speaker 1: determine what is essential and what is non essential. You know,
Speaker 1: this is what's happening across the country. And what's essential
Speaker 1: is that people have their jobs, that people can retain
Speaker 1: their businesses, that people can feed their families. You know,
Speaker 1: not everybody. You know, what's going to happen when the
Speaker 1: handouts aren't there anymore. What's going to happen when you
Speaker 1: don't have a stimulus check? What's going to happen. Then
Speaker 1: we now have a vaccine. We have multiple vaccines that
Speaker 1: are out there, ready to go out on the market
Speaker 1: where people are getting vaccinated. Not as fast as some
Speaker 1: people would have hoped, but it is happening. It's on
Speaker 1: a massive global scale. These vaccinations will be done. People
Speaker 1: are following the rules. People are smart enough to follow
Speaker 1: the rules. I trust the American people. I trust people
Speaker 1: all over the world to do the right thing when
Speaker 1: it comes to them in their family. Yeah, I trust.
Speaker 1: I trust the American small businessman and small businesswoman a
Speaker 1: lot more than I trust the bureaucrats who have not
Speaker 1: missed a paycheck since this started. This story about the
Speaker 1: hair salon and Oregon also parallels the one in California
Speaker 1: in Stockton, California, where the health police came in and
Speaker 1: the owner said it was like a drug raid. They
Speaker 1: came in and told all there were people getting their
Speaker 1: hair did right there in the chairs. They told them
Speaker 1: to put their purses on the floor and their hands
Speaker 1: in the air, and it was just crazy. And I
Speaker 1: finally think, Sarah Carter, that we are seeing the salon owners,
Speaker 1: the restaurant owners, all of these people banding together, and
Speaker 1: they're standing up and saying, enough is enough, and we
Speaker 1: can do this. If airplanes can do it safely with
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty people on a plane, why can't
Speaker 1: a hair salon with ten people inside do it? Well,
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I've been saying. I mean, if you've
Speaker 1: anybody who's flown in recent months I have knows that
Speaker 1: you're sitting right next to people on a plane, wearing
Speaker 1: a mask, of course, doing the best to keep yourself clean.
Speaker 1: And you know, but you're not six feet apart on
Speaker 1: a plane. Not six feet apart on a plane. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's just a fact. And you know, when you think
Speaker 1: of these salon owners and small business owners trying to
Speaker 1: just keep food on the table, trying to keep their
Speaker 1: businesses open, trying to feed their families. And by the way,
Speaker 1: shame on the officers who went in there. I know
Speaker 1: that's their job. But there's other officers across the country
Speaker 1: and sheriff that are saying, we're not going to do that.
Speaker 1: We're not going to go in and raid people's businesses.
Speaker 1: I saw that in New Mexico. We've seen it in
Speaker 1: in other parts throughout the country where officers are refusing
Speaker 1: to do that because this is about American business owners,
Speaker 1: small business owners, doing the right thing, and it's very selective, Mike.
Speaker 1: These governors are doing things so selectively. And look at
Speaker 1: Governor Newsom. What a hypocrite, What a hypocrite, who was
Speaker 1: caught at French laundry, you know, a twenty two thousand
Speaker 1: dollars like liquor bill at this fancy restaurant in northern California,
Speaker 1: you know, without a mask on, with his family and friends,
Speaker 1: you know, laughing and gallivanting around. And by the way,
Speaker 1: that restaurant got a big trunk of money, you know,
Speaker 1: for COVID money that it applied for. And here's a
Speaker 1: you know, and here's a woman you know in Stockton
Speaker 1: who's just trying to get along, just trying to keep
Speaker 1: hersel on open, and then she gets rated like she's
Speaker 1: you know, Chapo Guzman in Mexico running like good drug cartel. Oh,
Speaker 1: very good, very good, very good chop and Choppo reference.
Speaker 1: I love that her name is Sarah Carter. We laughed
Speaker 1: all the time at the Blaze, and yet we still
Speaker 1: manage to cover the serious stuff, which Sarah does all
Speaker 1: the time. She's got her website, she's got her podcast,
Speaker 1: The Sarah Carter Show, which you should track down as well.
Speaker 1: My friend, I'm going to be in DC next week
Speaker 1: for the big event on January sixth. If you're around,
Speaker 1: i'd love to say hello in person. Socially distanced of course. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'll be around anything for you, Mike. I can't wait
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
Speaker 1: it's just six feet away. Please six yea away. We'll

Speaker 1: an air hug. We'll send a picture, we'll put it,
Speaker 1: we'll put it on Twitter. I'm beautiful. Thank you, my friend, anytime.

Speaker 1: in the Freedom Hunt. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael pelcat in
Speaker 1: for Buck and he'll be back in the new year.
Speaker 1: I was just checking something out, something that happened on
Speaker 1: MSNBC yesterday that made me laugh. We often say Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is living rent free in the heads of the liberals.
Speaker 1: He's up there and they can't get rid of him.
Speaker 1: Yesterday on Morning Joe Donnie Deutsch, who is just well,
Speaker 1: I can't say it. On the radio, Donnie Deutsch showed
Speaker 1: just how obsessed he is with President Trump. He's counting
Speaker 1: the minutes of the program before they mentioned Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: and he's upset that Donald Trump has been brought up
Speaker 1: a few times. Well, he's only the president, mister Deutsch.
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's not going away because he's a media career.
Speaker 1: But enough it's on us out. I mean, he's a
Speaker 1: lane duck. It's over. He lost, He's gone. Like we
Speaker 1: have to kind of kind of stought to say, like
Speaker 1: it's an hour and twenty minutes into the show, and
Speaker 1: Matt is the first time you mentioned name Joe Biden?
Speaker 1: Was mentioned? Enough with Donald Trump rat he's done, he lost,
Speaker 1: and we the media have to be a bit disciplined
Speaker 1: and not continue to just cover this jerk every time
Speaker 1: there's this flatulence. Every time there's this flatulence, you're referring
Speaker 1: to the president of the United States. These people really
Speaker 1: have lost it. And you know it's amazing to me,
Speaker 1: is they're supporting Joe Biden, a guy who has obvious
Speaker 1: cognitive issues, a guy who really does have difficulty, and
Speaker 1: a guy who didn't campaign because they knew he had
Speaker 1: a problem, and they just can't they can't deal with it.
Speaker 1: So I just had to share that with you. That
Speaker 1: was from a morning Joe, I think that was yesterday morning.
Speaker 1: Also surprising to me, the Democrats are having money troubles,
Speaker 1: to have some pretty serious money troubles in Georgia where
Speaker 1: they have raised all this money for these runoff elections
Speaker 1: and now they're telling everyone that they're out of money.
Speaker 1: Last night, John Asoff, whose name just sounds like someone's
Speaker 1: cursing all the time. To me, John Assoff, don't be
Speaker 1: a assof John Asoff was on CNN and he used
Speaker 1: his time to ask for more camp paying funds. They
Speaker 1: are launching lawsuit after lawsuit, and for us to mount
Speaker 1: the kind of turnout effort that we must, for us
Speaker 1: to be prepared for the litigation that's necessary to defend
Speaker 1: the franchise, we need help. It's elect John, elect jawin
Speaker 1: dot com, and I'm asking folks to invest in voter
Speaker 1: protection here. John. So the CNN anchor even said, you
Speaker 1: guys raised all this money, and no one has the courage,
Speaker 1: I guess to ask the question, why should we give
Speaker 1: you all this money if you can't even manage campaign funds.
Speaker 1: You know, the Democrats are just going to think they
Speaker 1: can throw money at every problem. And there are a
Speaker 1: couple of Republicans who think the same way too. But
Speaker 1: I just think it's an absolute amazing story that they
Speaker 1: have spent two hundred million dollars already since the election
Speaker 1: and there's a week to go before the runoff, and
Speaker 1: they are claiming poverty, they're claiming that they're being outspent
Speaker 1: by the GOP, even though they have raised more money
Speaker 1: than the Republicans. This is going to be an amazing
Speaker 1: week ahead of us. We're going to hear things. Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams is already out there telling everybody that the GOP
Speaker 1: can't win unless they keep Blacks from voting. They play
Speaker 1: the race card at every turn. And when you're playing
Speaker 1: the race card, it's because you're not able to talk
Speaker 1: about policy. You're not able to talk about the actual
Speaker 1: things that matter when you want someone to be your
Speaker 1: elected representative. I'm just telling you pay attention. We live
Speaker 1: in very interesting times, possibly even some of the most
Speaker 1: historic times ever. Michael Pelka and for Buck Sexton on
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show. We'll be right back. Thanks for
Speaker 1: listening to the Bus Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on
Speaker 1: Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app, wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka in
Speaker 1: for Buck, finishing out the year for Buck while he
Speaker 1: enjoys his vacation. And we were just talking about Georgia
Speaker 1: and the ridiculous amount of money being spent on the
Speaker 1: runoff elections because it will determine the control of the
Speaker 1: Senate and the money is just astronomical, and it's being
Speaker 1: used to blanket the airwaves on radio and TV with
Speaker 1: all kinds of crazy ads, but it's also being used
Speaker 1: for getting people out in the streets and knocking on
Speaker 1: doors and talking to potential voters. And one of the
Speaker 1: people who's out there knocking on doors leading the charge
Speaker 1: to register Republicans to make sure people get to the
Speaker 1: voting booth on or before the fifth of January, is
Speaker 1: one of the more inspiring people I've met in the
Speaker 1: last couple of years. His name is Scott press He's
Speaker 1: a young man who just voted in the presidential election
Speaker 1: for the first time because he wasn't old enough to
Speaker 1: vote in the last election. Scott is a beacon of
Speaker 1: hope for the youth of this country. I really look
Speaker 1: at this guy's an inspiring character and I hope he continues.
Speaker 1: His enthusiasm is infectious and he's taken a break from
Speaker 1: knocking on doors to join us tonight. Scott Pressler, Welcome
Speaker 1: to the program sir. Wow, I've never had someone call
Speaker 1: me a beacon of hope before. Well, I think that one.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah, we see you and you're you're enduring spirit.
Speaker 1: You just have boundless energy, but you're always positive, and
Speaker 1: I think that is something that cannot be underestimated or undervalued.
Speaker 1: It is much needed in these crazy times that we're
Speaker 1: living in, my friend, and you are bringing that to
Speaker 1: doors all over Georgia. How many doors have you knocked
Speaker 1: on in the last couple of weeks. Oh, easily hundreds.
Speaker 1: I've registered new voters. Get this, people that didn't vote
Speaker 1: in the November election who were Trump voters, I've now
Speaker 1: registered them to vote and they've already said that they've
Speaker 1: voted in the runoff Senate elections. So don't even get
Speaker 1: me started about why people weren't voting. But the fact is,
Speaker 1: we've registered new voters, We've recruited volunteers, We've knocked on
Speaker 1: hundreds of doors. And I'm returning a third time to
Speaker 1: Roswell Georgia and I will be a guest host for
Speaker 1: Right Side Broadcasting at the Dalton, Georgia Trump Rally on
Speaker 1: the fourth, So the night before the actual final day
Speaker 1: of voting for these runoff elections, you're going to be
Speaker 1: there hosting on right Side broadcasting the streaming of the
Speaker 1: Trump rally. Absolutely, yes, sir, fantastic, this is good news.
Speaker 1: I would have thought the President would have dragged you
Speaker 1: up on stage at this point, because you know, he's
Speaker 1: seen you everywhere I've seen you at the White House,
Speaker 1: so I know he knows who you are. Hey, this
Speaker 1: is about supporting our president. This is about giving our
Speaker 1: president a Senate that he can work with, because people
Speaker 1: need to understand this isn't just about two Senate seats.
Speaker 1: This is truly If we do not win these two seats,
Speaker 1: it will be a fifty to fifty and should the
Speaker 1: election not go as we all hope it's going to go,
Speaker 1: that means that the vice president is going to be
Speaker 1: the tiebreaker. And do the Democrats once he gives statehood
Speaker 1: to DC, do the Democrats want to give statehood to
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico? This is about saving our country and we
Speaker 1: need these two Senate seats as the firewall. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: right talking about those two seats or those two states
Speaker 1: which would be added, which would add four more senators,
Speaker 1: obviously Democrats, and that would way the balance of power
Speaker 1: in the Senate forever as well as electorally. And you
Speaker 1: know they will pack the Supreme Court because they've talked
Speaker 1: about it. I've even heard the Democrats out on the
Speaker 1: campaign trail say they're not going to answer that question
Speaker 1: because they want to get it done. So your work
Speaker 1: there is really important, Scott, and I want to ask you,
Speaker 1: based on your door knock surveys. I'm sure you've run
Speaker 1: into some Democrats when you knock on doors, But what
Speaker 1: do you think the chances are. How are you feeling?
Speaker 1: What's the Pressler poll? Tell us I'll be honest with you,
Speaker 1: and I'll be the same honesty that I gave for
Speaker 1: the November elections. This race is going to be close.
Speaker 1: Georgia is not a red stace like we think it is.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a close election. It's going to
Speaker 1: be high turnout. Actually, I think we may see more
Speaker 1: people vote in the runoff election Van voted in the
Speaker 1: November presidential elections. And we need to get the word
Speaker 1: out the child abuse allegations coming out against Warnock, the
Speaker 1: fact that his ex wife was talking about the way
Speaker 1: that Warnock treated her, and then the fact that we
Speaker 1: just saw a tweet back in twenty twelve where Austin
Speaker 1: was telling people to follow Chinese state media. I mean
Speaker 1: the Democrats, Wow, they couldn't have picked two worse candidates.
Speaker 1: And this is our opportunity to send Lessler and Purdue
Speaker 1: back to the Senate to support our businesses, to support
Speaker 1: making sure that we are opening up America to support,
Speaker 1: that we are not closing down businesses with the disastrous
Speaker 1: Green New Deal. This is our opportunity to save the
Speaker 1: Senate and quite frankly, save America. He is so right.
Speaker 1: His name is Scott Pressler. You should follow Scott on Twitter.
Speaker 1: He's a great follower it. Look up Scott Pressler or
Speaker 1: the Persistent, because he is the most persistent person I
Speaker 1: know Scott. Two days after the rally is a big
Speaker 1: event in Washington, d C. We have the Joint Session
Speaker 1: of Congress where the Electoral College votes will have to
Speaker 1: be certified or they will have to face challenges. Are
Speaker 1: you going to be in DC at any of the events?
Speaker 1: I would not miss it for the world. Yes. My
Speaker 1: plan is I will be door knocking and roswell on
Speaker 1: the second and third. I will be guest hosting his
Speaker 1: right side broadcasting on the fourth. I'm going to drive
Speaker 1: home on the fifth, and I will be proudly there
Speaker 1: in DC at the Capitol Building at ten am, planning
Speaker 1: to be there all day, Planning to wear comfortable footwear,
Speaker 1: plan to wear clothing that's going to keep you warm,
Speaker 1: and I want everyone to hear me loud and clear.
Speaker 1: Any Republican elected official that does not object to the certification,
Speaker 1: I make a promise that we will recruit, we will train,
Speaker 1: we will fund candidates to primary you, and especially this
Speaker 1: goes out to Marco Rubio, This goes out to Roy Blunt.
Speaker 1: If you do not object the certification, we promise that
Speaker 1: you will have a primary challenger. And I do not
Speaker 1: support a third party. What I do support is that
Speaker 1: the Republican Party does not stand with President Trump as
Speaker 1: they should, then we the grassroots, we the people, will
Speaker 1: remake the Republican Party in our image. This is a
Speaker 1: pretty strong statement to make from a young man who voted.
Speaker 1: I believe this was your first presidential election that you
Speaker 1: were able to vote in this year. If somebody doesn't
Speaker 1: stand up and object to the electoral counts that are
Speaker 1: being I know of several members of the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate have indicated they will object. But if Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio doesn't, and I forgot who the other person who's
Speaker 1: had doesn't, your Blunt, Roy Blunt, you will guarantee that
Speaker 1: they will be primaried the next time they are up
Speaker 1: for election. Oh absolutely, And you know what, I've already
Speaker 1: got plans. I've been getting calls all across the country.
Speaker 1: I'm already coming to California, I'm already coming back to Texas.
Speaker 1: And you know what, if I have to hop on
Speaker 1: a plane to Alaska to knock on doors and register
Speaker 1: voters to primary Leisa Murkowski, if I have to hop
Speaker 1: on a plane to go to Florida and Missouri and
Speaker 1: all across the country, then that's how I will spend
Speaker 1: the next two years of my life. Because I am
Speaker 1: sick and tired of seckless leadership that makes us promises
Speaker 1: and turns their backs on the American people. And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: that's why I love President Trump. President Trump is the
Speaker 1: one man who looked us in the eyes and told
Speaker 1: us I will cut your taxes, I will reform trade.
Speaker 1: I will stop the trade deals that are giving China
Speaker 1: all of our work business while we the American people suffer.
Speaker 1: So I will use my platform, I will use my power.
Speaker 1: I will use everything in my ability to take down
Speaker 1: peacefully these Republican elected officials that do not stand without
Speaker 1: sincing with our president. On January sixth, I love that
Speaker 1: you added peacefully because I think it is important to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, if we go back to the summer and
Speaker 1: Fredo Cuomo who said, where in the first when the
Speaker 1: Constitution does it say protests have to be peaceful? Well,
Speaker 1: it's right there in the First Amendment. We're committed to peace,
Speaker 1: but we're committed to law and order and the Constitution.
Speaker 1: And Scott Pressler, you are a tireless warrior. This nation
Speaker 1: needs you. You were chosen for this time. Thank you
Speaker 1: for being there, my friend. I hope to see you
Speaker 1: in Washington. I'm going to be there. It's easy for
Speaker 1: me to spot you because you're so tall, but I'll
Speaker 1: find you somehow. I'll find you, sir. Look forward to it.
Speaker 1: Can't wait to see there might Scott Pressler. Very impressive
Speaker 1: young man. As I mentioned earlier. By the way, if
Speaker 1: you want to know more about what's going on in DC,
Speaker 1: and there are also some events that are expected to
Speaker 1: be happening in state capitals around the country, you can
Speaker 1: go to wild protest dot com. Wild protest dot com.
Speaker 1: That's one of the places. I'm not endorsing it, but
Speaker 1: I will tell you there's a lot of information there.
Speaker 1: There are maps there to show you what the heck
Speaker 1: is going on, and you can see exactly what may
Speaker 1: or may not be planned for January sixth in Washington,
Speaker 1: DC or in your state at your state capitol. So
Speaker 1: wild Protest dot com is a place you can go
Speaker 1: and get more information as well. I will be there,
Speaker 1: I hope God willing if they don't close my hotel.
Speaker 1: We're hearing the mayor of Washington, Mayor Bowser, is putting
Speaker 1: pressure on hotels to close that day. And also allegedly
Speaker 1: there are reports that they are trying to block the
Speaker 1: porta potties from being deployed. Wouldn't that be interesting? No
Speaker 1: place to stay and no place to go, if you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton
Speaker 1: on The Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The
Speaker 1: bus Sexton Show podcast. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast,
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app, or wherever you get your podcasts. It
Speaker 1: is The Buck Sexton Show with Michael Pelka sitting in
Speaker 1: tonight and tomorrow wrapping up twenty twenty from my friend
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton. Happy to be here, thrilled to be here. Actually,
Speaker 1: this audience reaches out so frequently. I got a message
Speaker 1: on social media last night through a Facebook messenger. Somebody said, hey,
Speaker 1: can you play that Trump Train song again, and I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll try and squeeze that in. We have maybe one
Speaker 1: or two more plays of that little song that we
Speaker 1: made to honor Donald Trump, and we'll try and squeak.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do it just around the corner. I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of history, as his buck, and I always like
Speaker 1: to go back and look at what happened on this day,
Speaker 1: back in the day to see if we can learn anything.
Speaker 1: And on this day, back in eighteen forty five, Texas
Speaker 1: became a state. In fact, it was the twenty eighth
Speaker 1: state in the Union Texas. Though it's not the same
Speaker 1: Texas UC today, there were a few more miles added
Speaker 1: to it. Let's just say it includes part of what
Speaker 1: is now Colorado and New Mexico, so kind of a
Speaker 1: different size Texas. Also on this date, in eighteen fifty one,
Speaker 1: the first YMCA opened in Boston. I wonder if it's
Speaker 1: still open, Probably not the same building. Nineteen forty FDR
Speaker 1: declared the United States to be the arsenal of democracy?
Speaker 1: Are we still the arsenal of democracy? I wonder? I
Speaker 1: know the rest of the world does look up to us.
Speaker 1: No matter what the Democrats say, we still are the
Speaker 1: place that most people would like to come to on
Speaker 1: the State nineteen seventy eight, and I remember watching this
Speaker 1: game on live TV saying, oh my god, did we
Speaker 1: just see that the Gator Bowl was being played? Remember
Speaker 1: bowl games, there aren't so many thanks to COVID. This
Speaker 1: year the Gator Bowl was being played in It was
Speaker 1: Ohio State against Clemson, and Ohio State's coach Woody Hayes,
Speaker 1: an iconic coach in college football history, got upset when
Speaker 1: a Clemson player intercepted a pass and started running it
Speaker 1: back and he actually punched the guy. Charlie Bauman was
Speaker 1: the player who took a punch from Woody Hayes, who
Speaker 1: was not a young man at the time. It was
Speaker 1: a huge controversy, gigantic and as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: Woody Hayes was dismissed from his job the very next day.
Speaker 1: Big stinking deal. On this date, in nineteen eighty nine,
Speaker 1: Canada became the first nation to ban smoking on all
Speaker 1: commercial airline flights. Smoking up until nineteen eighty nine, smoking
Speaker 1: was and then a lot of other nations jumped in
Speaker 1: right after it, and frankly, it was a good deal.
Speaker 1: Nothing like flying in a smoke filled airplane, and there
Speaker 1: were times people would smoke cigars on airlines. Thank god,
Speaker 1: we have clean air in the skies. Now we just
Speaker 1: have to wear masks, right, that'll soon be over. Nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven. On this day, back in the day, we
Speaker 1: had something called the bird flu that was breaking out
Speaker 1: in China. Mm. China where a lot of bad things originate.
Speaker 1: This was in Hong Kong, though, and the government in
Speaker 1: Hong Kong said we better do something about this. Their
Speaker 1: chickens were showing signs of this bird blue outbreak, so
Speaker 1: they called the entire herd. The entire Nation's heard more
Speaker 1: than a million chickens were killed in China to prevent
Speaker 1: it from getting out of control. I wonder why they
Speaker 1: didn't do that with the bats or whatever was determined
Speaker 1: to be the cause the origin of the Wuhan. I'll
Speaker 1: just let that sit there. You know what, Let's wrap
Speaker 1: up this hour with a little fun. How about we
Speaker 1: play the Trump Train one more time. We'll try and
Speaker 1: play it tomorrow as well. Ladies and gentlemen, thank Bill
Speaker 1: for this. He's the one who requested it. Climb on
Speaker 1: board chain chain. It really is a disgrace. It's called
Speaker 1: the COVID relief bill, but it has almost nothing to
Speaker 1: do with kof nine hundred billion dollars package provides hard
Speaker 1: working taxpayers with only six hundred dollars each in relief fans,
Speaker 1: and not enough money is given to small businesses. I
Speaker 1: am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the
Speaker 1: ridiculously low six hundred dollars to two thousand dollars or
Speaker 1: four thousand dollars for a couple in a narrative the
Speaker 1: Trump Trade maybe one of the last times we get
Speaker 1: to play that. I'll try and squeeze it in once
Speaker 1: more tomorrow as we finish out twenty twenty. Michael Pelka
Speaker 1: stepping aside on the Buck Sexton Show. It's Michael Pelka,
Speaker 1: and I want to tell you the true story of Tim.
Speaker 1: Tim owed the IRS three hundred and forty eight thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in payroll taxes and trust fund penalties. But the
Speaker 1: story has a happy ending. Its Tim called my friend
Speaker 1: Perry Cronin with Axiom Tax Resolution Group. Perry and his
Speaker 1: team were able to settle this debt with the IRS
Speaker 1: for just one hundred dollars. Axiom Tax Resolution Group only
Speaker 1: employs CPA's and rold agents and attorneys, and they know
Speaker 1: how to stop those threatening letters and house calls from
Speaker 1: the IRS. If you own more than ten thousand dollars

Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome back to the Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka here in the host chair, filling in from
Speaker 1: my friend Buck, who is enjoying the warm Florida weather.
Speaker 1: I'm not jealous at all, not in the least bit. No, hardly.
Speaker 1: Yeah I am. That's okay, I can admit it. But
Speaker 1: we're almost done with this year, and I'll be here
Speaker 1: tonight and tomorrow as well. I've been talking to some
Speaker 1: of my friends from my Blaze days who are in
Speaker 1: different functions in the world of journalism around the country,
Speaker 1: and I want to introduce you to another one of them.
Speaker 1: His name is John Street. He is the managing editor
Speaker 1: of a really important website. It's called Campus Reform and
Speaker 1: it's at campus reform dot org. And I will tell you,
Speaker 1: in a world where we seem to be seeing youth
Speaker 1: gone totally astray, it is comforting to know that there
Speaker 1: are places where the college campuses actually have kids who
Speaker 1: understand conservatism and are being helped along, nudged into I
Speaker 1: don't know, capitalism and small government and big freedoms, which
Speaker 1: is I think what campus reform fights for. So I
Speaker 1: want to get into some of the hot topics of
Speaker 1: the day on campus Reform. John Street, Welcome, my friend,
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. I'm glad you're here. It was
Speaker 1: this the weirdest year in terms of college campuses. Did
Speaker 1: the distance learning kind of tamp down some of the
Speaker 1: insanity we've seen in previous years with like safe spaces
Speaker 1: and all of the other madness we witnessed in the
Speaker 1: years before twenty Well, unfortunately, just like everything else in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, all of the campus indoctrination, all of the
Speaker 1: campus coddling all of that went from in person to virtual.
Speaker 1: So the the lectures that we would see from students
Speaker 1: in class recording their professors going on these anti conservative,
Speaker 1: anti capitalists, anti Christian, you know, race based rants in class,
Speaker 1: those all kind of shifted online to virtual to you know,
Speaker 1: virtual class sessions that in many ways kind of helped
Speaker 1: us to expose and just helped parents to see just
Speaker 1: what their kids were being taught in school. And that
Speaker 1: prompted the parents to take a step back and say, hey,
Speaker 1: we'll wait a minute, what am I exactly paying here
Speaker 1: for my children to go to college for twenty grand
Speaker 1: a year and this is what I get out of it?
Speaker 1: So I think it in many ways shine the lights
Speaker 1: on just how rampant the indoctrination runs in higher education.
Speaker 1: But also I think we saw UM just how how
Speaker 1: easy it is, or how convenient it is for many
Speaker 1: students to shift to more online UM based classes. When
Speaker 1: we when we do go back to a semi normal
Speaker 1: world after, you know, most of more the country gets
Speaker 1: fascinated UM. So I think we could see a shift
Speaker 1: away from perhaps some of the on campus culture UM
Speaker 1: that's facilitating a lot of the the social justicey UM
Speaker 1: and you know Campus Coddilly workshops that these schools often
Speaker 1: provide the students would go to voluntarily but not maybe
Speaker 1: not receive course credit for, and they may just take
Speaker 1: those classes online. Yeah, it's kind of it's kind of
Speaker 1: interesting to watch and see where this all goes. The
Speaker 1: distance learning that we saw in the last year. I
Speaker 1: don't saily think it's been successful, but I wonder if
Speaker 1: it's been as damaging as a lot of people have said. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm someone who went to college in the late seventies, John,
Speaker 1: so that tells you how long ago and how old
Speaker 1: I am, and distance learning was not something we would
Speaker 1: have ever seen or even if thought could have worked.
Speaker 1: The college experience was more of a communal experience, more
Speaker 1: akin to Animal House if you've seen the movie, which
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have. And I just can't imagine anyone
Speaker 1: growing up, and I mean that literally, actually having the
Speaker 1: experience of growing up with distance learning, because you don't
Speaker 1: get the immersion of the social experience. And I think
Speaker 1: that will be the biggest thing that's lacking going forward
Speaker 1: in these kids' lives. So I hope it changes for
Speaker 1: them going forward. Let's talk about some of the other
Speaker 1: social issues black lives matter, and it trenched element it
Speaker 1: seems on college campuses. What are you guys seeing as
Speaker 1: it involves black lives matter in college campuses today? Well
Speaker 1: back in you know, late May or June, throughout the summer,
Speaker 1: it was it was interesting to see how many colleges
Speaker 1: and their administrations came out in full throoted support of
Speaker 1: Black lives matter. And you know, we tried to take
Speaker 1: a look at each one and just see if they
Speaker 1: were saying, you know, because because of course, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, black lives, we should cherish all lives and
Speaker 1: value all lives. But we kind of take a lookout
Speaker 1: and differentiated between when the school was saying what I
Speaker 1: just said and when they were kind of offering endorsement
Speaker 1: of the Black Lives Matter movement. And it was studying
Speaker 1: to see just how many colleges would come out in
Speaker 1: a full throoted endorsement of the Black Lives Matter movement
Speaker 1: and go out of their way to try to differentiate
Speaker 1: what they were saying. There not to mention the number
Speaker 1: of instances where we saw, including a case where there
Speaker 1: was a dean at the University of Massachusetts who was
Speaker 1: fired after she sends an email saying that black lives matter,
Speaker 1: but also everyone's life matters. There was a backlash as
Speaker 1: a result of that email, and she ended up getting
Speaker 1: fired for writing that email to students, just for saying
Speaker 1: everyone's life matters. So we're literally living in a time
Speaker 1: where it's so controversial to say that everyone's life matters.
Speaker 1: They're all out of matter, and that we've gotten to
Speaker 1: a point where that sort of a statement can get
Speaker 1: you fired from universities in this country. And that should
Speaker 1: really send a chill down all of our spines because
Speaker 1: it violates what this country was founded upon. It's a
Speaker 1: gross infringement of our free speech. And you know, it
Speaker 1: just shows that if you don't, if you don't agree
Speaker 1: to to adhere to what the leftist script is on
Speaker 1: black lives matter, then your job could be at risk
Speaker 1: and your livelihood could be at risk. It's amazing she
Speaker 1: lost her job. I wonder if she's suing or I
Speaker 1: wonder if they gave her some kind of golden parachute
Speaker 1: to get out. But that, to me, is an egregious
Speaker 1: violation of just general speech in this country. I was
Speaker 1: at the final night of the RNC in DC this
Speaker 1: past August and walking home and I was accosted by
Speaker 1: many of the people in the streets of Washington, DC
Speaker 1: after the event ended, just before midnight, and there was
Speaker 1: a woman standing on the corner near Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: plazid just screaming at everyone black Lives matter. And I
Speaker 1: looked at her and I said, why, yes, they do.
Speaker 1: And she chased me, not exactly sprinting, but followed me
Speaker 1: for about a half a block saying what does that mean?
Speaker 1: What does what does that actually mean? And I realized
Speaker 1: that any answer would be the wrong answers, so I
Speaker 1: just kept walking. I should never engage, I guess is
Speaker 1: the ultimate answer. But that saddens me that we can't
Speaker 1: have a difference of opinion or even add a layer
Speaker 1: to an opinion without having someone attack us verbally or
Speaker 1: in the case of this dean at you mask professionally.
Speaker 1: And speaking of schools, the Leadership Institute is behind campus reform.
Speaker 1: I got that right, correct, Yes, the leadership in stuts
Speaker 1: campus form. Okay, so they're the ones who are helping
Speaker 1: you guys stay afloat and have all of these great
Speaker 1: programs across all these campuses. What are using As it
Speaker 1: relates to campuses in the IVY League. I know you
Speaker 1: had a story about what the heck was going on
Speaker 1: in Harvard with the attempts to cancel anyone from appearing
Speaker 1: who had a relationship or connection to the Trump administration. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was. It was really crazy because there was there
Speaker 1: were a few weeks back when there were there was
Speaker 1: a petition circulating at Harvard University, which you know, the
Speaker 1: self proclaimed fristigious school that you know, many of our
Speaker 1: presidents and members of Congress attend and graduate from. There
Speaker 1: was a petition circul lingue at that school calling on
Speaker 1: Harvard to ban any Trump administration official from going into
Speaker 1: a teaching or fellowship rule with the school. You know,
Speaker 1: oftentimes outgoing administrations, members of that administration will we'll get
Speaker 1: jobs in higher education talking about and kind of um
Speaker 1: and teaching students about what it's like to work in
Speaker 1: the presidential administration. That's all valuable, and but it seems
Speaker 1: that they're only interested in hearing those experiences if it's
Speaker 1: from a democratic administration, because in this case, they didn't
Speaker 1: want to hear from Trump administration officials. I do think
Speaker 1: it's it's important point out that there there wasn't known
Speaker 1: any known outspoken support from the Harvard administration, but they
Speaker 1: didn't exactly denounce it either. They but I think the
Speaker 1: sentiments that led these students to literally call on the
Speaker 1: school to ban Trump administration officials, I think just goes
Speaker 1: to just goes to show the kind of environment that
Speaker 1: Harvard administrators and Harvard professors are creating in which students
Speaker 1: feel emboldened or empowered to call for a band like
Speaker 1: this in the first place. You know, we've seen analysis
Speaker 1: after analysis that we've done with the Leadership Instuose Campas
Speaker 1: Reform showing that academics and higher education they give political
Speaker 1: donations to Democrats or Republicans by about a nine to
Speaker 1: one ratio. And you know, you could say, well, that
Speaker 1: doesn't really seep into the classroom, except we've gotten so many,
Speaker 1: you know, examples of quizzes and reading assignments and lectures
Speaker 1: from professors that are just so anti capitalist, anti conservative,
Speaker 1: just leftist pocket points one after another, in many cases
Speaker 1: even anti American lectures and quizzes and reading assignments, And
Speaker 1: so you have to didn't wonder, is there are there
Speaker 1: political donations and their views that fuel those are they
Speaker 1: not seeing seeping in the classroom, because it really seems
Speaker 1: like they are. Yeah, they have to be. It absolutely
Speaker 1: has to go. Follow the money. People follow the money
Speaker 1: and you'll understand where the politics is going to go
Speaker 1: because it is never too far behind. We're talking to
Speaker 1: John Street from Campus Reformed. Johnah got just about a
Speaker 1: minute and a half left. I know you sent me
Speaker 1: a note and said, the biggest problem going forward on
Speaker 1: college campuses is coming from overseas. Do you really, guys,
Speaker 1: do you guys really rate China Communist China as the
Speaker 1: greatest risk we face in our colleges. I do, and
Speaker 1: here's why. So we have uncovered campus after campus after
Speaker 1: campus that has opened and it's still operating in many cases.
Speaker 1: And we have a map that you can see on
Speaker 1: campus reform dot org that shows just the number of
Speaker 1: confucious institutes that are operating college campuses. Now. China builds
Speaker 1: these as cultural centers where people can learn the language
Speaker 1: and the culture of China. All that's fine and great
Speaker 1: if that was indeed the case. But what we're seeing
Speaker 1: is that China, by its own admission, one of their
Speaker 1: prior propaganda ministers, not to mention, our own intelligence agencies
Speaker 1: here in the US have said that these confusion institutes
Speaker 1: operate as no more than propaganda center centers for the
Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party. And then when you look at just
Speaker 1: the amounts of money flowing into these universities in medicases,
Speaker 1: millions of dollars per university, billions of dollars across the
Speaker 1: entire country that these countries are receiving from China, Chinese
Speaker 1: entities which we all know are controlled by the Chinese
Speaker 1: Communist part because there is really no such thing as
Speaker 1: as an independent entity in China. When you see that
Speaker 1: money flowing in from China, and then add that to
Speaker 1: the confusion institutes operating on college campuses yet spewing Chinese propaganda,
Speaker 1: you really have to wonder are these really American universities
Speaker 1: with American interests at hearts or have we allowed kind
Speaker 1: us to seep into American academia and influence our young
Speaker 1: people's minds who would then go on to become our
Speaker 1: nations leaders. And I think that's a real threat to
Speaker 1: our democracy and one that we really need to be
Speaker 1: on top of. I think you're generous when you say
Speaker 1: seep into their minds. It's more like the coronavirus has
Speaker 1: infected the bodies. We have the communist virus, which I
Speaker 1: know that's dramatic, but it does seem to have a
Speaker 1: unique parallel. His name is John Street. He is a
Speaker 1: managing editor of Campus Reform dot org. You should go
Speaker 1: there and find out what they are doing to help
Speaker 1: the kids on college campuses. And if you have a
Speaker 1: kid on a college campus or our one, you should
Speaker 1: go there. Anyway, Thank you, my friend. Happy New Year
Speaker 1: to you and yours. Happy to hear Mike thinks and
Speaker 1: he's gone. Michael Palca also taking a break on The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. We'll be right back. You're in the
Speaker 1: Freedom Hud. This is the Buck Sexton Show podcast. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Buck Sexton Show. Mike Opelka in for
Speaker 1: my friend Buck and it. Just got a text message
Speaker 1: from a buddy mine named Henry, who said, you know
Speaker 1: that that guy from the Campus Reform group, Why didn't
Speaker 1: you talk to him about the story The New York
Speaker 1: Times ran, which basically celebrated a woman being canceled and
Speaker 1: being forced to renounce her entrance into college because of
Speaker 1: a years old video where she used the N word
Speaker 1: in a three second video. Basically, it was used against her.
Speaker 1: Somebody got this video years ago waited until this young
Speaker 1: lady had selected her college and then posted it. And
Speaker 1: this reckoning, as the New York Times called it, has
Speaker 1: pretty much ruined this young girl's life. At the moment,
Speaker 1: she was the varsity cheering captain and dreamed of going
Speaker 1: to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. And when she
Speaker 1: made the announcement that that's where she was headed she
Speaker 1: had been accepted, this guy unleashed this three second video
Speaker 1: from two or three years earlier, and her life was ruined.
Speaker 1: And I asked John, can we talk about this? And
Speaker 1: he said, no, We're still investigating this. We're still looking
Speaker 1: to make sure we can get the entire story on this,
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are saying she was thrown out,
Speaker 1: that the school told her you can't come here, And
Speaker 1: it looks like responsible reporting is showing that the young
Speaker 1: lady pulled herself out of it. And maybe there was
Speaker 1: pressure from the school, maybe there wasn't. We don't know.
Speaker 1: But I always respect a journalist who says I'm not
Speaker 1: going to rush to get the story out just to
Speaker 1: be first. I'd rather get the story right, and that's
Speaker 1: what John and the people at Campus Reform are doing.
Speaker 1: They're waiting until they get the whole what is their name,
Speaker 1: Mimi Groves story in full, or they opine or posted online.
Speaker 1: I suspect this is my own thinking, nobody else that
Speaker 1: the school said. We understand there's outrage about this. We
Speaker 1: don't think it was intentional. This is my speculation again,
Speaker 1: why don't you take a gap year and withdraw and
Speaker 1: come back and maybe the opportunity will be here after
Speaker 1: a year. I'm just saying that is one possibility that
Speaker 1: may have happened, But I'm totally against this kind of
Speaker 1: character assassination. People waiting with clips from teenagers from years
Speaker 1: ago and saying, oh yeah, well what about the time
Speaker 1: you said this. It's really kind of evil, especially when
Speaker 1: you take a fifteen year old's words and use it
Speaker 1: against an eighteen year old adult. It's kind of unfair,
Speaker 1: But that's just me, Michael Pelka stepping aside. When we
Speaker 1: get back, I want to introduce you to a friend
Speaker 1: of mine who is possibly the greatest survival trainer ever.
Speaker 1: Kreik Stewart joins us next on The Buck Sexton Show.
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton Show podcasts. Remember
Speaker 1: to subscribe on Apple podcasts. The iHeartRadio app or wherever
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts. It's Michael Pelka in for Buck
Speaker 1: on the Buck Sexton Show. Where does the time go out?
Speaker 1: Just looking up at the clock and it's almost time
Speaker 1: for us to get out of here. I can't believe it.
Speaker 1: I'll be back tomorrow, though, and we'll look back at
Speaker 1: some of the moments of twenty twenty, some of the highs,
Speaker 1: some of the lows. Some of the most embarrassing things
Speaker 1: that we witnessed in the past twelve months, and there
Speaker 1: were a lot of them have to do with the
Speaker 1: mainstream media. I'm not gonna lie about it, and I
Speaker 1: think they really should be embarrassed by some of their behaviors,
Speaker 1: especially those people over at CNN, who I don't think
Speaker 1: remember what journalism really is about. Jake Tapper and Jim
Speaker 1: Acosta getting a lot of heat in the last twenty
Speaker 1: four hours. Tapper accusing the Press Secretary Kaylee mcinaney of
Speaker 1: just lying every time she opens her mouth. This was
Speaker 1: Tapper two days ago talking about how he'd never book
Speaker 1: her on the show. There are some people that are
Speaker 1: such they're just so mendacious. I just wouldn't put them
Speaker 1: on air. Kaylee mcinaney. I never booked her. Jason Miller
Speaker 1: from the Trump campaign, I would never book him. I mean,
Speaker 1: these are just people who just they just tell lies
Speaker 1: the way that you know most people breathe. And yet
Speaker 1: they will book Eric Swalwell, they will book Adam Schiff,
Speaker 1: they will book people who wouldn't know the truth of it.
Speaker 1: Came up and bit him on the face. Don't get
Speaker 1: me started on Brian Stelter. Oh oh, but Acosta, Jim Acosta,
Speaker 1: also known as a Bilio. That's his real first name,
Speaker 1: a Bilio Acosta. He changed it to a more acceptable name.
Speaker 1: I guess he thinks in the media. It's the same
Speaker 1: thing with the mayor of New York who was born
Speaker 1: Warren Wilhelm but changed his name to build Blasio because
Speaker 1: Bill de Blasio sounds like some of you who'd vote for.
Speaker 1: True story. He changed his name when he got into
Speaker 1: politics because he was worried people wouldn't vote for Voen
Speaker 1: Wilhelm unless they were voting for the chancellor or de Fjora.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe de Blasio. Anyway, the word on Jim Hasta
Speaker 1: is he's going to cover the presidency of Joe Biden
Speaker 1: a lot differently than he covered the presidency of Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Of course, we know you all are. You're going to
Speaker 1: give them a free pass. That's how you people operate.
Speaker 1: I've got more to say about the mainstream media because
Speaker 1: the Trump accountability project is still out there, and we'll
Speaker 1: cover that before we get out of here tonight. But
Speaker 1: I see my friend Creek Stewart is holding My buddy,
Speaker 1: Creek Stewart, the man behind Fat Guys in the Woods
Speaker 1: and some of the greatest survival television you will ever see.
Speaker 1: Creek is somebody I stalked as a viewer because I
Speaker 1: love to show Fat Guys in the Woods, and we
Speaker 1: became friends. I didn't really stalk him in the way
Speaker 1: of stalking, you know, just wrote him notes and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: come on the radio, let's talk. And he is one
Speaker 1: of the more fascinating guys, one of the youngest Eagle
Speaker 1: Scouts ever in the history of scouting, and now he
Speaker 1: is the best survival trainer ever, skills that you will need,
Speaker 1: and he's joining us here to talk about his brand
Speaker 1: new show that's premiering, I guess in just a couple
Speaker 1: of days. Creek Stewart, Welcome to the buck Sexton show
Speaker 1: my friend. Oh Man, Mike, it's really good to talk
Speaker 1: to you. Man, so so good to be back on
Speaker 1: your show. Well, I'm glad you're here, and I will
Speaker 1: tell you when I look back on twenty twenty, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see it go happy to see it. Leaving,
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, the one guy I know who
Speaker 1: could get through all of this, the lack of toilet paper,
Speaker 1: the concerns about food, all of that stuff is Creek,
Speaker 1: because Creek's able to survive anything. So I'm wondering, how
Speaker 1: did you and your family fair during the COVID. Well,
Speaker 1: we fared pretty well. You know. The twenty twenty was
Speaker 1: a really interesting year for us too, So I mean,
Speaker 1: one thing for sure is that it really it really
Speaker 1: made me think about my own preparations for hunkering down,
Speaker 1: you know, even as a survival instructor. You know, it
Speaker 1: was a really interesting reminder for me and I have
Speaker 1: had a resurgence and just an interest in preparedness and
Speaker 1: long term food storage and honkering kind of bugging in skills,
Speaker 1: personally bugging in. I like that because I know you've
Speaker 1: often talked with me about what should be in a
Speaker 1: bugout bag. If you had to run pretty quickly from
Speaker 1: a situation. And I've got a bugout bag in the
Speaker 1: back of my car, and it's not my golf bag,
Speaker 1: even though a lot of you would suspect that. But
Speaker 1: bugging in is making sure that where you stay or
Speaker 1: where you are has everything you need. God forbid something
Speaker 1: goes haywire completely in our world. You like to say,
Speaker 1: it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.
Speaker 1: And we're starting to see more whens these days. Great,
Speaker 1: aren't we? Yeah, we sure are. You know. I used
Speaker 1: to I used to think that natural disasters were our
Speaker 1: number one threat, But I don't know. I don't know
Speaker 1: these days. I don't know if it's natural disasters anymore.
Speaker 1: So I'm for to find the home front for a
Speaker 1: lot of different reasons. I think that's why you know
Speaker 1: you'd be prepared for anything that comes down the pike.
Speaker 1: Now you have been. You've made several different shows on
Speaker 1: the Weather Channel, and you've looked at people who've been
Speaker 1: amazing survivors. I've followed that series where you've showed us
Speaker 1: people who've made it through impossible situations. But you've got
Speaker 1: something new coming up, and it's debuting in a few days.
Speaker 1: What's the new series about. Well, the new series is
Speaker 1: a continuation of the shows How to Survive. So the
Speaker 1: new show is called Could You Survive? With Creek Stewart
Speaker 1: and it is a similar show concept to SOOS How
Speaker 1: to Survive. We are finding people who have struggled through
Speaker 1: real life survival scenarios and we're telling those stories. It
Speaker 1: is in a new format, so we're telling them in
Speaker 1: a new and interesting way. A lot I'm teaching a
Speaker 1: ton of skills in this theories and we're really getting
Speaker 1: down and dirty with the details of the stories that
Speaker 1: we're covering. We filmed the entire the entire production pretty
Speaker 1: much during the heat of COVID up in Canada, and
Speaker 1: so I had the opportunity to film in some really
Speaker 1: unique places in Canada and just meet some absolutely incredible
Speaker 1: people who have survived the craziest stories survival stories I've
Speaker 1: ever heard in my life. Can you give us a
Speaker 1: teaser on one of them, like, just a little snip
Speaker 1: of one of these craziest surv stories. Yeah, absolutely, So.
Speaker 1: Our season premiere is Sunday on the Weather Channel and
Speaker 1: one of the stories that we'll be opening with is
Speaker 1: a guy named Jose who lives in Texas, and he
Speaker 1: crashed his car on a busy highway. It drove off
Speaker 1: the road and into the woods, only about one hundred
Speaker 1: yards from a major highway. But he was so injured
Speaker 1: that it took him a full day to crawl from
Speaker 1: where he was in the woods he'd been thrown out
Speaker 1: of the vehicle to crawl from there to his car,
Speaker 1: and he ended up having to survive literally right next
Speaker 1: to his car for days until someone found him. And
Speaker 1: he was so injured that it was a struggle for
Speaker 1: him to even get into his car. And so I
Speaker 1: teach some really interesting kind of hybrid urban and survival
Speaker 1: skills using vehicle parts and pieces. So it's a really
Speaker 1: really unique and captivating story. You are like the survival mcgiver.
Speaker 1: You know, you can look at something and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we have this, this and this, and it normally is
Speaker 1: a car, but by the end of the day, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a shell. There's going to be a
Speaker 1: stove in there, and we're gonna basically split the atom
Speaker 1: as well. I just love the way you look at stuff.
Speaker 1: I have to tell the audience. Creek Stewart and I
Speaker 1: walked around New York City and looked at different survival things.
Speaker 1: And one of my favorite moments was walking around Central
Speaker 1: Park with you and I said, could could we survive
Speaker 1: here if every everybody else was gone? You know, if
Speaker 1: if the bomb dropped and all we had with Central Park?
Speaker 1: And you said, yeah, yeah, look look over here, got docs,
Speaker 1: you got squirrels, you got If you haven't eaten squirrels, stew,
Speaker 1: you haven't lived. So I just love that way of
Speaker 1: looking at the world and finding ways to make use
Speaker 1: of things that may not be apparent based on their
Speaker 1: intended use. So this is gonna be very cool. This
Speaker 1: is premiering on the Weather Channel Sunday evening, episode one.
Speaker 1: It is it called can You Survive? This? Is that
Speaker 1: what it is? It's called Could You Survive? Could You Survive? Sunday? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sunday evening at ten pm Eastern. Well, you know I'm
Speaker 1: going to be watching because I'm a creek freaking that
Speaker 1: is kind of where I fall. I have a thought
Speaker 1: for you, though, Craike. You know, it's been a while
Speaker 1: since Fat Guys in the Woods, Right, It's been a
Speaker 1: few years, and there were only X number of episodes
Speaker 1: of this fantastic series. I think we could do fatter
Speaker 1: guys in the woods because all of us who've gained
Speaker 1: a few weights, a few pounds since COVID could be
Speaker 1: brought out into the woods and maybe help people burn
Speaker 1: off what they've put on while sitting at home. Free idea.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I may run with that.
Speaker 1: I tell you what, There's never been a better time
Speaker 1: to be in the woods than this past year. Though.
Speaker 1: You know, you're away from people, You're away from all
Speaker 1: the craziness going on. The woods is a good place
Speaker 1: right now, and it's full of food and shelter and
Speaker 1: and time to think, which is what a lot of
Speaker 1: people really should be doing these days, sitting and think.
Speaker 1: His name is Creek Stewart, Creek. Where's the best place
Speaker 1: to find you online? Real simple? Justminame dot com Creek

Speaker 1: Creek Stewart, check him out, and if you are so inclined,
Speaker 1: find the old episodes of Fat Guys in the Woods.
Speaker 1: Fascinating stuff and it got me thinking maybe I need
Speaker 1: to learn a little more about how to survive if
Speaker 1: I were trapped somewhere, you know, unexpectedly, Michael Palka stepped us.
Speaker 1: We'll come back and wrap up tonight's edition of The
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Thanks for listening to The bus Sexton
Speaker 1: Show podcasts. Remember to subscribe on Apple Podcast, the iHeartRadio app,
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Michael Palka here sitting
Speaker 1: in from my friend Buck Sexton. Thrilled to be here,
Speaker 1: Happy you joined us, and I appreciate all of you
Speaker 1: who reached out. So many on Facebook, thanks, and so
Speaker 1: many on Twitter as well. I'm also on Instagram, but
Speaker 1: I tend to post like thoughtful things on Instagram and
Speaker 1: a couple of my political friends are like, yeah, your
Speaker 1: Instagram posts are whimpy. Well, you know, I get a
Speaker 1: little arty on Instagram, So forgive me for not being
Speaker 1: a political animal all the time. As I've said here,
Speaker 1: man does not live by politics alone. There are other
Speaker 1: things out there and we can have a little fun too,
Speaker 1: So if you want to follow me, politics pretty much
Speaker 1: shows up on Twitter. Facebook is a combination and Instagram.
Speaker 1: I tend to lean a little bit over to kind
Speaker 1: of the artsie FARTZI stuff or just flat out silly stuff.
Speaker 1: I post a lot of memes and there are a
Speaker 1: lot of funny memes out there, and those are based
Speaker 1: in politics. Yes, so join me, hang out with me tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We will dive into some of the some of the
Speaker 1: crazy stories of the past twelve months, obviously the pandemic
Speaker 1: being among them one of the biggest, and will replace
Speaker 1: some of the great pandemic parodies of the last year,
Speaker 1: because there are many many. But I was just checking
Speaker 1: out what Biden was saying today, Joe Biden, who had
Speaker 1: one of his briefings today, And it sounds to me
Speaker 1: like Joe Biden is going to be a big spender.
Speaker 1: You know, he's dropping hints that if and when he
Speaker 1: is sworn in on the twentieth of January, god for bid,
Speaker 1: that he's going to be a tax and spend liberal.
Speaker 1: And here's a little bit of the hint he gave today.
Speaker 1: You know, the founders are pretty smart, and there's a
Speaker 1: reason why all the states and localities have to have
Speaker 1: a balanced budget. Were allowed federally to run a deficit.
Speaker 1: Federally allowed to run a deficit. Sounds very different from
Speaker 1: the Joe Biden in nineteen ninety one, the guy who
Speaker 1: was standing up in the Senate screaming about freezing everything
Speaker 1: in the federal budget, about really putting the brakes on
Speaker 1: all federal spending. Do you think this guy would be
Speaker 1: allowed in the Democrat Party today? We should freeze federal spending.
Speaker 1: I mean so security as well. I'm at Medicare, Medicaid, Meckin,
Speaker 1: I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. Can
Speaker 1: you imagine if a Democrat said that on the campaign trail?
Speaker 1: If a Democrat said I think we should freeze all
Speaker 1: federal spending, they would have marched him out of the party.
Speaker 1: He would not have been allowed into a convention if
Speaker 1: they had a convention. We all know it was virtual,
Speaker 1: But this is kind of like going back and looking
Speaker 1: at what JFK said because Kennedy. Kennedy would have been
Speaker 1: tossed out of the Democratic Party before he even got
Speaker 1: his card filled out. Joe Biden from nineteen ninety one
Speaker 1: a little bit different than Joe Biden from twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: This guy, this guy might have gotten some GOP votes.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying we should freeze federal spending. I mean
Speaker 1: so security as well. I meant Medicare, Medicaid, I meant meckin,
Speaker 1: I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. If only,
Speaker 1: if only there were Democrats who believed that if you
Speaker 1: don't have money, you shouldn't spend it. Now they're busy
Speaker 1: sending money over to Pakistan to do gender studies. They're
Speaker 1: busy sending almost a half a billion dollars to Central
Speaker 1: America to find out why people want to come to America,
Speaker 1: why people would risk walking hundreds of miles in really
Speaker 1: rough terrain to come to America. While if the two
Speaker 1: thousand dollars stimulus checks pass, guess what, some of the
Speaker 1: undocumented people who came here from Central America will be
Speaker 1: eligible to fill out the paperwork and get some of
Speaker 1: those checks. I'm just I'm not happy about it, And
Speaker 1: the things I want to say I can't say on
Speaker 1: the radio. We'll dive into some more this tomorrow and
Speaker 1: we'll get into, as I said, some of the memories
Speaker 1: of the past twelve months, the good, the bad, the ugly,
Speaker 1: and maybe look hopefully at the coming year. At least
Speaker 1: we'll try to. I've got a couple of surprises up
Speaker 1: my sleeve. You'll have to be here to find out.
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton on
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show. As we like to say when
Speaker 1: we end each and every show, test studo, my friends,
Speaker 1: test studo, we should freeze federal spending. I mean so
Speaker 1: security as well. I'm at Medicare, Medicaid, I'm at Meckin,
Speaker 1: I'm at every single solitary thing in the government. All right, Joe,
Speaker 1: now get out of here. We got it. You're in
Speaker 1: the freedom Hunt. This is The Buck Sexton Show podcast
