There is history going on all around us 15 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: than there is history that should be on our minds 16 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: tonight as we remember Pearl Harbor, we remember Pearl Harbor, 17 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: and I want to encourage you to share any memories 18 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: that your family may have shared with you about Pearl Harbor. 19 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: There are so few of the actual survivors of Pearl 20 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: Harbor with us that those memories are fading away, and tonight, 21 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: in the third hour of the show. We have a 22 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: very very special guest, someone who witnessed Pearl Harbor as 23 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: a young girl. She was at Hickham Airfield in Pearl Harbor, 24 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: right there, within a few hundred yards of the actual 25 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: bombing of Pearl Harbor. And this young lady kept it 26 00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: inside her for decades. She didn't tell her family. It 27 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: was only recently. At a family dinner. I think it 28 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: was Thanksgiving dinner. B Bazansky was talking with her relatives, 29 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,359 Speaker 1: and one of the relatives happens to be one of us, 30 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: happens to be a conservative talker, was saying, I want 31 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: to hear everybody's favorite Christmas memory, everyone's most special Christmas memory, 32 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and he was recording because that's what we radio geeks do. 33 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: So be opened up her mouth and said this, Well, 34 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: I'll have to share it with you. In just a second. 35 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: B opened up her mouth and said that her favorite 36 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: Christmas memory was Pearl Harbor because she was there. She 37 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: happened to be at Pearl Harbor and witnessed the bombing. 38 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: And I'll get to the actual a little bit, but 39 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: you'll hear it through the voice of an eighty something 40 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: year old American who never told a family, and this 41 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 1: is one of those things about the greatest generation, of 42 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: which my dad, who is not with us anymore. He 43 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: left us almost two years ago. It was the day 44 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 1: after Christmas, and my dad almost never talked about his 45 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: experience in the United States Navy in the war. He 46 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: was one of the people like George Herbert Walker Bush 47 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: who enlisted as a teenager. He enlisted in the United 48 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: States Navy because he wanted to serve his country and 49 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: protect freedom, and my dad ended up lying to the 50 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: recruiters and saying he was eighteen, and ultimately they found 51 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: out that he was a seventeen year old kid and 52 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: his parents had to sign a note that said it 53 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: was okay for him to enlist. And he never talked 54 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: about it. But b Bazanski never talked about it until 55 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: this year, and we will hear her story also in 56 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: the news today. Obviously, we had the former FBI director 57 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: James Komy talking to a couple of House committees and 58 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: behind closed doors. We will get the text of that 59 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: testimony tomorrow. There was a twenty four hour delay, and 60 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm sure they were waiting on whether or not they 61 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: needed to redact anything from the text. Comy came out 62 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: and made a few statements. We'll get into that. Additionally, 63 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: the Cohen Memo, the sentencing memo is out and the 64 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: recommendation for sentencing for Michael Cohen is a whole bunch 65 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: of time. And we're going to tap into the brain 66 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: of one of our friends who was an attorney, a prosecutor. 67 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: Wendy Patrick is going to join us just around the 68 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: band here, and we'll talk about Michael Cohen, we'll talk 69 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: about comy, and we'll talk if you want to get 70 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: involved in the program. Tonight eight four four nine hundred 71 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: buck eight four four nine hundred buc K is the 72 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: phone number. We'll dive into it again. I'd love to 73 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: hear if there were Pearl Harbor memories. One of the 74 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: things I remember my father telling me about Pearl Harbor 75 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: and we grew up in Chicago, that Pearl Harbor changed 76 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: things that nobody anticipated they would change. For example, there 77 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: was a potato chip company in Chicago named Missus Japs 78 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: Potato Chips. They were Japanese people that just happened to 79 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 1: be the family name. Missus Japs Potato Chips was a 80 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: gigantic potato chip company in Chicago, and the day after 81 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor, anything that had the word Jap in it 82 00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: was suddenly toxic. And my dad talked about the fact 83 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: that the Missus Japs potato chips disappeared from store shelves, 84 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: that Missus Japps eventually had to change its name to 85 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: Jay's Potato Chips. And as a kid growing up, we 86 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: ate Jay's Potato Chips without ever knowing that in nineteen 87 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: forty one the company almost went out of business because 88 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,600 Speaker 1: of the name Missus Japps. And you know the dark 89 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: history of this nation with the internment camps, etc. But 90 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: nineteen forty one, Japanese airplanes warplanes Kama Kaze's attacked the 91 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: American naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, twenty four 92 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: hundred plus, killed many in their sleep in the barracks. 93 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: So you'll hear it in the words of B. Bazanski 94 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: just around the corner. It is something that we should 95 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: never ever ever forget, especially as I mentioned earlier, there 96 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: are so few of those who witnessed and survived Pearl 97 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: Harbor who are still with us. We are losing entirely 98 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: too many of that generation every single day. So we've 99 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: got to get through the Pearl Harbor memories. We will 100 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: talk about James Comey and his testimony. What we can 101 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: talk about, what we do know. We will discuss the 102 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: sentencing memo forty two months for mister Cohen, Donald Trump's 103 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: former attorney, his fixer according to some people. And there's 104 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: nervousness around the stock market today. The market dives five 105 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight points, closing the day at twenty 106 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: four thousand, three hundred and eighty eight the Dow Jones 107 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: Industrial Index. The issue here maybe the trade war with China, 108 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: and it might be related to a CEO who was 109 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: arrested allegedly for helping Iran and violating our agreement. And 110 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: we'll talk with an expert on Middle East issues, Gordon Chang. 111 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: My friend is going to join us today. There are 112 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: also some really strange stories out there that we need 113 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: to get to today. The war on Christmas is something 114 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: that really has me perturbed. It's not just the guy 115 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 1: who banned the candy canes from the school in Nebraska. 116 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: It's not just the leftists who want the three Wise 117 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: Men removed from a school roof in Michigan. Three Wise 118 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: Men figurines have only been on the roof of the 119 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: school in Michigan since the forties, and why would you 120 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: ever want wise men associated with a school, you idiots. 121 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: There's more. There are stories about really dumb people, too 122 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: dumber than the people who want the wiseman taken off 123 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: the school. There's the story of the man who wanted 124 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: to get a job. He interviewed for a sales position 125 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: at a Coles store in Florida, and after his interview 126 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: he started shoplifting and they caught him. He didn't get 127 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: the job.

Hello, my friend the pleasure, Mike, 166 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: have you join you well now, Wendy, I don't know 167 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: how much time you had to grab the breaking news 168 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: that happened just before we got on the air, but 169 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: the recommendations on sentencing for Michael Cohen came down. I 170 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: think it was a lot of pages, but was the 171 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: gist of it. They suggested forty two months in prison. Yeah, 172 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: and you know what, you know what that tells us, Mike. 173 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: That tells us a lot about the extent of his cooperation. 174 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: And one of the things that people forget is remember 175 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: the original charges against Cohen as the plea that was 176 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: a Southern District of New York case. After that, even 177 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: though there was no cooperation agreement included within that, he 178 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: voluntarily started cooperating with Muller's team. So that's fairly significant 179 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: when it comes to how many hours he spent with 180 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: that team, and accordingly how light, how lenient has sentences 181 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: compared to what it could have been. So forty two months, 182 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: three and a half years in prison, and I'm sure 183 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: it's going to be a federal prison, not a camp 184 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: with a hedge. That's considered lenient for what he had done. 185 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: It's viewable, and that's what you really look at is 186 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: so many federal crimes when you think of the way 187 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: you can stack them and count them, and the different 188 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: the different charges that are available. Many defendants like Cohen 189 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: are grateful to have a reduced sentence because sometimes when 190 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 1: cases like this go to trial, they're convicted of so 191 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: many other crimes that when it gets to sentencing, there's 192 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: just too many years. So that's one of the reasons. 193 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: Obviously people clea bargain to begin with, But there's also 194 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: no guarantee when you cooperate with the government as to 195 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: what exactly, at least not most of the time, which 196 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: your sentence is going to be. However, in practice, as 197 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: a practical matter, many cooperating witnesses have some idea of 198 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: the savings. We'll call it that the savings available to 199 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: them by cooperating why they provide truthful information? Though remember 200 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: Moeller's I'm sorry manaphorts to the agreement was withdrawn because 201 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: apparently they didn't think that information was truthful. So that 202 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: is the caveat. And now we're hearing in breaking news 203 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: reports from the Associated Press that Paul Manafort, the ex 204 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: campaign chair and it was a brief campaign chair position, 205 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 1: light about contacts with the Trump administration officials and a 206 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: Russian associate. So how bad is the news down the 207 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: road for Paul Manafort? Do you think, well, if I 208 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: could be very bad because part of the reason that 209 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: witnesses cooperate is to achieve a reduction and sentence, to 210 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: achieve leniency, to get a kind of a deal that 211 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen got. And I know for your listeners they 212 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 1: may be thinking, go, I wouldn't want to spend one 213 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: year in prison, Well you would if the alternative was 214 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: thirty years. So it's a big savings. But Manaphort is 215 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: no longer going to be able to reach the benefits, 216 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: which is why there was so much hardened dangling language 217 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: being talked about last week when the President famously said, well, 218 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: it's not off the table, which I mean, he just 219 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: can't misuse the pardon power. He can use it. But 220 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that the Manaford situation is 221 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: really a front and center in the news today, just 222 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: like it was last week, and it's all who the Friday. 223 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: Mike Fridays are big news days. Yeah, I never thought 224 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: all of this who would be coming down? So I 225 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: don't think Michael Cohen's in line for any kind of 226 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,440 Speaker 1: presidential pardon for the next ten thousand years. See, I 227 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: think that's clear, no way. But Manaford, you never know. 228 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: Now did you get to dive into any of the 229 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: James Comee stuff. I saw the press conference briefly. He 230 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: didn't say too much. He did end, and you know, 231 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: we're all excited about getting a transcript, and I personally like, 232 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: you know, I fancied myself a body language expert. I've 233 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: written a couple of books when it's done a bunch 234 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: of research. I like watching him testify like we did 235 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: the last time, because you learned so much more. But 236 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: at the very least, transcript next best thing. But you're right, 237 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 1: it was a bit anti climactic, and that we would 238 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: have liked to have heard much more of the backstory 239 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 1: surrounding some of what went on during the course of 240 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: the investigation. Yeah, and we're going to get another hearing, 241 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: another visit from Paul Manaford to these committees in two weeks. 242 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: Why the heck do we have to wait two weeks? 243 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 1: Any clue on that, Wendy, No, But you know, there's 244 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: always a there's always a muf going on behind the scenes. 245 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: And sometimes I'll he'd do Michael Flynn as an example. 246 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: He dropped off the radar a year ago and then 247 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: all of a sudden the memo came down this week 248 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: that he's been the extended his cooperation. So just because 249 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: there's a delay doesn't necessarily mean people who just dragging 250 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: their feet or slow walking. There's actually quite a bit 251 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: that has to go on behind the scenes. It's orders 252 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: to these deals to get made. So, you know, having 253 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 1: been hopeing no, none of your listeners do the maths. 254 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: But having been in this business for over two decades, 255 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: I can attest to the fact that it's lay means 256 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: it's a significant amount of lag work that needs to 257 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: be done. So it really is to everybody's benefit to 258 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: let that happen, okay, because I always wonder why you 259 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: had a hearing today, Why can't you be back there Monday. 260 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: Why can't we keep this going? Because I wouldn't mind 261 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: a daily transcript if you're not going to do it live. 262 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: And by the way, if you guys are listening, Wendy 263 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: Patrick was the doogie Houser of lawyers. She was like 264 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: an attorney at the age of twelve or something. Thank you. 265 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: That's absolutely right, Thank you, Mike. Yeah, I want to 266 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: make sure we get that clear. Her name is Wendy Patrick. 267 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: You can find out more Wendy Patrick, PhD. And I 268 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: wish we could have seen Komey. Wendy, I've got about 269 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: a minute left. Did you detect anything from the body 270 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: language at the presser? You know, it's hard to say, 271 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's very hard when you have prepared statements 272 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: and you're you're doing a pressor. It's much easier to 273 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: read body language when you're responding to questions not exactly 274 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: knowing what the questions are going to be. That's when 275 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 1: you have a lot of the emotions sneaking out there. 276 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean all of us, I mean, nobody's immune from this. 277 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 1: So I would have liked to have seen the life 278 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 1: at Q and A. I think we would have learned 279 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: a lot more. But you know he's used to pressors. 280 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's a professional. He's been doing it 281 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: for years. So we know even Donald Chump is a 282 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: pro at pressers. We don't learn as much as we'd 283 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: like to do in somebody's delivering prepared to Mark. All right, 284 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: well we will stay tuned again. I said. Her name 285 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: was Wendy Patrick and she is an attorney, as speaker 286 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: and author and a friend of this show. Thank you, 287 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: my friend. Have a great weekend you as well. Always 288 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: a pleasure, Mike. When we get back, we'll dive into 289 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: your calls and more Pearl Harbor and more news. It's 290 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: Michael Palka and from my friend Buck Sexton on the 291 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,159 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show eight four four nine hundred. Buck joined 292 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: the conversation. Well, Buck is not quite back yet. Michael 293 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 1: Palka here the godfather, as you may know me from 294 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: previous appearances on Bucks show. Buck and I go way back, 295 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: way back to the early days of the Blaze and 296 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,119 Speaker 1: the Blaze Radio and I'm happy to be here for 297 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: my friend. And Wow, what big news this week between 298 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: The Blaze and CRTV, a merger of conservative sites, conservative outlets. 299 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 1: I think anything that strengthens the conservative news organizations is 300 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: a good thing, and I hope my friends who are 301 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: still involved in both are continuing to grow and thrive. 302 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: I got a lot of calls from people saying, Hey, 303 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: are you coming back to the Blaze. Well, no, but 304 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: I'm back on the Blaze radio tonight, which is kind 305 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: of interesting, isn't it. So there you have it. But 306 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: I'm here tonight and I'm sure Buck's voice will be 307 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: back and he'll be back on the radio next week. 308 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: In the meantime, we're talking about the news of the day. 309 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: We're talking about history as well, with the Pearl Harbor 310 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: on everyone's mind, and the phones are going to be 311 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: open all night. Eight four four nine hundred Buck eight 312 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 1: four four nine hundred two A two five. Before we left, 313 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 1: Robert in Jackson, Mississippi, was on hold, Robert, Welcome to 314 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. What's on your mind? Sir? Hey, 315 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: good evening. This is way off topic, but I'm wondering 316 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 1: what happened to the caravan story? Is there no more 317 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: political capital in it? So everybody don't care anymore. No, No, 318 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: there's plenty of political capital in the caravans story. As 319 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Nancy Pelosi was asked about building 320 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: the wall today and was asked about Docca today, and 321 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: I will have that quote for you so you can 322 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,239 Speaker 1: hear what she said. But here's the deal with the 323 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: caravans story. Tijuana, Mexico kinda got hip to the fact 324 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: that it was a festering collection of disease, that there 325 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: were people living in their own filth, and there was 326 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: a serious human health problem developing, not just for the 327 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: people in the caravan who were in this encampment, but 328 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: of the people of Tijuana. So the Mexicans went in 329 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 1: and dispersed the caravan encampment and g Then ABC and 330 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: MSNBC and CNN don't have anything to walk around and 331 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: point to, so it became less important to them. It's 332 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: still a deal, and we're still working with Mexico, I'm 333 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: happy to say, to try and make sure that we 334 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: don't allow the future caravans to come this way. There 335 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: are stories out there. The only story you may have 336 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: seen about this Robert that made the mainstream media was 337 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: the story the one member of the caravan who got through, 338 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: got across the border and delivered a baby the next day. 339 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: Now that child is an American citizen because of our 340 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: constitution is written that way. But that's the only story 341 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: that we're seeing on it. Now you'll see more because 342 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: there's going to be more coming up. But they're obsessed. 343 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 1: The mainstream media is absolutely frothing obsessed with the Muller investigation, 344 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: the mammos that came out today, the sentencing suggestions, so 345 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: they kind of got distracted. Somebody instead of talking about 346 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: the caravan went squirrel Muller and they looked over there, 347 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: and so that's the deal on that. There should have 348 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: been more, but there was not. So I do appreciate 349 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: you being there and joining us in this conversation. I'm 350 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: sure the caravan will not go away. We still need to, 351 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: in my opinion, build the wall, and we still need 352 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: to believe it or not let Mexico pay for it 353 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: through Donald Trump's negotiation of the Canada, Mexico and US 354 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,359 Speaker 1: Trade Agreement, which he has to get pushed through, and 355 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: he's probably going to do that by getting rid of 356 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: NAFTA officially and forcing it to happen. But thank you 357 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: Rob for joining the conversation Line two is Larry from 358 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: all Hio. Larry, Welcome to the buck Sexton Show. Sir, 359 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hello, Mike Praisure to talk to you. 360 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 1: So I was thinking of Pearl Harbor day. I was 361 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: sitting here telling my wife my granddad had eight children, 362 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: four boys, four girls, and the oldest four boys. It 363 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: was all in the Second World War One didn't come back. 364 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 1: And as a side note, my youngest son joined the 365 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: Navy in on seven or seventh. That's what my dad 366 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 1: was inspired to join the navy as well. You know, um, Larry, 367 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 1: you remind me of something I have to make mention 368 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: of families like yours who gave a son to this 369 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: country in World War Two. And yes there were women 370 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: who died to in service to this country, but predominantly men. 371 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: If they are buried in a federal cemetery, a military cemetery, 372 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: if they're buried at Arlington. Next week, a week from tomorrow, 373 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: we will be meeting many of us at Arlington and 374 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: many at cemeteries around the country and placing a wreath 375 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: on the grave of every soldier except our members of 376 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 1: the Jewish faith who are buried there. But we will 377 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: be placing a wreath, a fresh made wreath with a 378 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: red ribbon, on every single grave, and it's through an 379 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: amazing charity called Wreaths Across America. And if you can't 380 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: be there to place a wreath on the graves, I 381 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: encourage you to visit Wreaths across America dot org and 382 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: maybe sponsor a wreath if you can. This will be 383 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: my fourth year of participating at at Arlington National Cemetery, 384 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: and I've made friends who meet every year to put 385 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: the wreaths on the graves. And until you've done it, 386 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: you can't understand the scope of the sacrifice that the 387 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: men and women of this military and the families like 388 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: Larry's have made for our country. So December fifteenth, the 389 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: week and a day from today, many of us, thousands 390 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: of us, will meet at Arlington. And again, you don't 391 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: have to be here in the DC area to do this. 392 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: There are plenty of military cemeteries all over the country 393 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: and you can go to Reaths across America dot org 394 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: and put in your zip code and it will tell 395 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: you where the closest facility is to you. I can't 396 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: tell you how touching it is to see the Scout Troops, 397 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the families who attend reaths across 398 00:25:55,880 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: America and spend hours carrying wreaths on their arms. A 399 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: lot of people bring rakes or umbrellas so they can 400 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: carry five, ten, fifteen wreaths at one time and walk 401 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: up the hills and then place the reads on the graves. 402 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: But it is truly one of the most special moments 403 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 1: that I've experienced as an American, is to pay tribute 404 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: to those who died in service of this country in war. 405 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: And it's it's it's beyond explanation on the radio. And 406 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: if you follow me on Twitter, my Twitter handle is 407 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: at stunt Brain, or if you follow my exploits on 408 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: pierropelca dot com, you will see next week we'll be 409 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: posting videos and pictures from wreaths across America. Thank you 410 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: Larry for sharing your story. So many families like Larry's 411 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: have family members who served. And I'm going to tell 412 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: you the story in the last hour of the show 413 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: today of an amazing woman named b Bazansky. B is 414 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:09,920 Speaker 1: in her eighties now, and she's a woman who witnessed 415 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,800 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor herself and never told anybody about it. I mean, 416 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: her family knew, her mom knew, her brother knew, and 417 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: her father knew. But growing up, they just didn't talk 418 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: about it because the Greatest generation just did their job. 419 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: They didn't go out and hang their their past experiences 420 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: on their sleeve and say look at me, look what 421 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: I've been through. They just did it and they built 422 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: this country. But at the Thanksgiving dinner, my buddy Drew 423 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: was asking the family members what is their favorite Christmas 424 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: memory or their most special Christmas memory? And be Aunt 425 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,200 Speaker 1: be kind of blew everybody away when she she mentioned 426 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: that she had been at Pearl Harbor. And it's a 427 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: remarkable story. We will share it with you in the 428 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: third hour of the show today. I also want to 429 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: get to the media. The media's treatment of Donald Trump 430 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: during the funeral for George H. W. Bush is just reprehensible. 431 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: And there is a montage that I will share with 432 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: you coming up just around the corner of some of 433 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: the garbage that was put out by the mainstream media 434 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: during the funeral for George H. W. Bush, and the 435 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 1: leader of the attack the disgusting attacks on Donald Trump 436 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: was none other than Mika Brazinski from Morning Joe. I'm sorry, 437 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,720 Speaker 1: she's Mika Scarborough. Now now that Mik and Joe got 438 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: married at the National Archives in the rotunda there beneath 439 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence, because they're special and they can 440 00:28:54,720 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: do that. Mika Brazinski well in her own words. But 441 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 1: what becomes undeniably obvious with every bio run about Bush 442 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: forty one is that stark contrast between these two men. Yeah, 443 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: we'll get into what Mika said and what some of 444 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,720 Speaker 1: the other members of the mainstream media said, and I'll 445 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: play for you the montage. She can see how disgusting 446 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: it is. But again, she is the leader of the 447 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 1: smears against Donald Trump. I can't believe you took the 448 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: funeral of a president and used it to smear this 449 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: president just because you don't like them. When we get back, however, 450 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: we are going to talk about the war on Christmas. 451 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: I have a buddy who is a faith writer who's 452 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: going to join us and discuss what's happening. I mentioned 453 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: the school in Michigan where the three wise Men are 454 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: being attacked. They want them thrown off the roof, because 455 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: who the hell would want wise men involved in a school. 456 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: There's also schools in Ohio that are doing ridiculous things. 457 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: And my home state of Illinois, my home state of Illinois, 458 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: in the Capitol of Illinois, they are sucking up to Satan. 459 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: I'll explain what the heck I'm talking about as we 460 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: go into the attack on Christmas. The War on Christmas 461 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: is in the crosshairs. Next on The Buck Sexton Show, 462 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: I'm Michael Pelka.

And maybe you've seen him 494 00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: on faith Wire on the Blaze now he I think 495 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,719 Speaker 1: is working with the people at Pure Flicks. Billy halliwell, 496 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: where do we find you these days? Look looking hello? Oh, 497 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,920 Speaker 1: Billy's phone stinks. Billy, you need to stand near a window. 498 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: We might have to come back to you. Talk to me, 499 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: my friend, and you can hear. No, your phone is terrible. 500 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: We might have to get to you at the top 501 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: of the hour. Billy Hallowell, it's uh, it's unfortunate. Um. 502 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 1: And maybe the studio can get a landline where we 503 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: can reach Billy. I know he's on the road today. 504 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 1: He's out and about. I wanted to talk to Billy 505 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,719 Speaker 1: about some of the some of the attacks on Christmas 506 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: that are out there, not just the Omaha, Nebraska's school 507 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: where they ban the candy canes, because the candy cane 508 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: looks like the letter J, which means Jesus. In the 509 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:21,320 Speaker 1: minds of the people it all, Jay also means jack Wagon. 510 00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: And I would let the person who is banning Christmas 511 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: songs anything that mentions Jesus, I would let that principle 512 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: know that Jay also stands for jack Wagon. Sir, all right, 513 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna see if we can connect to Billy through 514 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 1: a landline. And in the meantime I mentioned something earlier, 515 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: I talked about how the media treated Donald Trump. I 516 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: want to play for you a montage. We've played for 517 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: you a little bit of what Mikam Brazinski said, but 518 00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: this is a montage of what some of the news 519 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: media said about Donald Trump using the funeral of George 520 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: Herbert Walker Bush to do so. Donald Trump is one 521 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: eighty from who George H. W. Bush is. The world 522 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: looked at George Bush because he was a leader, respected, 523 00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: he had proved himself. This president has yet to do that. 524 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: This president that we have now is trying to unravel 525 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: everything that he did and Obama day. I think he's 526 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: doing this because he feels he has to do it. 527 00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: I can't help but wonder if there was a thought 528 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: bubble over Donald Trump's head just now what he was thinking. 529 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: I have to imagine who was thinking, how much longer 530 00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: do I have to stand here? We may not approve 531 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: of this current president, but that doesn't diminish one's respect 532 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 1: for the office, because there are a lot of things 533 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 1: about George H. W. Bush that maybe people now appreciate 534 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: that they didn't appreciate the time. And it just gives 535 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: you a sense of the big character of the man 536 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: and the contrast with the small character we see we 537 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: see today. George Bush believed in the institutions of government, 538 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,520 Speaker 1: which I think too. Is another reason and why this 539 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 1: moment to remember and to compare and contrast is so important, 540 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,359 Speaker 1: because our institutions are so under siege right now by 541 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: the government itself. And that is why we celebrate George H. W. 542 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: Bush's legacy and fear the next two years of mister 543 00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: Trump's wild White House Ride. Mister Trump's Wild White House Ride, 544 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,200 Speaker 1: says Mika Brazinski. She's trying to make a reference to 545 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: a Disneyland ride, Mister Toad's Wild Ride. The media, the 546 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: left side of the mainstream media, doesn't understand why the 547 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 1: rest of the country that isn't following like a line 548 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:42,400 Speaker 1: of penguins along with their mantra and their agenda. The 549 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 1: media doesn't understand why people are fed up with them. 550 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,720 Speaker 1: But there is the example of how the mainstream media 551 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: has taken the funeral of a great man and used 552 00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: it to try and diminish Donald Trump. No matter what 553 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 1: else is going on, we've had sustained economic growth, we 554 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 1: still have some things to get past with North Korea 555 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: in the denuclearization of that peninsula. But guess what, all 556 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: the testing is stopped. Yes, we're in a trade war 557 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: with China, and we'll have more on that next hour 558 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: with Gordon Chang joining us. But what's going on now 559 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: is a full blown attack on the President of the 560 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 1: United States. More than ninety percent negative coverage from the 561 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 1: left side of the media. That montage should be exhibit 562 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: A in the collusion of the mainstream media against Donald Trump. 563 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: When we get back next hour, I hope we'll get 564 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 1: to Billy halliwell, he's somewhere near the mountains, he said 565 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: in Arizona. I'm not sure what he's up to, but 566 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: we'll talk to you as well. Eight four four nine 567 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: hundred Buck eight four four nine hundred two A two 568 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: five on The Buck Sexton Show with Michael Pelka.

A 577 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,359 Speaker 1: little bit later in the show, we're actually going to 578 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: hear from a woman in her eighties now who was there, 579 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: who was just a few hundred yards away from where 580 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: the bombing took place, and didn't tell her family about it. 581 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 1: Nobody knew in the current generation. She knew, her little 582 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,400 Speaker 1: brother knew, her mother knew, and the father who was 583 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 1: stationed at the Air Force base, the airfield at Pearl Harbor, 584 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: they knew, but they never told the family. B Bazansky 585 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: is the woman we're to hear from later in the show. 586 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 1: But let me tell you this. This came up over 587 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,440 Speaker 1: a Thanksgiving dinner where my buddy Drew, who's also a 588 00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,959 Speaker 1: talk radio guy, asked the family, Hey, let's talk about 589 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: your favorite Christmas and he records everything because that's what 590 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: radio geeks do, and Aunt b said this, well, it 591 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,960 Speaker 1: was different. I mean, the Japanese had just bomb Pearl Harbor, 592 00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: and like we were right there and nobody knew. Their 593 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 1: jaws dropped and then aunt By proceeded to tell the 594 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 1: story of that morning in Hawaii, December seventh, nineteen forty one, 595 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 1: seventy seven years. She's held this inside. You will hear 596 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,759 Speaker 1: that story from Aunt b later later on the Buck 597 00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. But I'm hoping, I'm actually praying that our 598 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: next guest is able to talk to us, because we 599 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: were talking about the war on Christmas. And yes, we 600 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 1: will get to what happened with the recommendations on sentencing 601 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,359 Speaker 1: from Michael Cohen. We talked briefly about it last hour, 602 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: and we'll get to the Manafort story and the other 603 00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,879 Speaker 1: news that's breaking out of DC. But they're such an 604 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: attack on Christmas and it seems to be really going 605 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: crazy lately that I wanted to tap into my friend 606 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:25,279 Speaker 1: Billy Halliwell from Pure Flicks and see what he's up to, 607 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: see what he's saying. Welcome to the program sir, I 608 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: hope you're in a better spot. I'm here, I'm here. 609 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 1: I heard you up to the audience the whole thing. 610 00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 1: So can you hear me now? Yeah, barely the minute 611 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,279 Speaker 1: you accuse me of sucking up to the audience, your 612 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: phone went wonky. I almost had to hang up on 613 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 1: you again. That's called you tuning out. It's a very 614 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: different thing. I've got I've got a good reception. Now, 615 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: I'm good, good, very good. Now, Billy I mentioned the 616 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 1: Michigan school that has had the wise men on the 617 00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,279 Speaker 1: roof of the school the figurines since the forties, and 618 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: they there are a couple of people complained, so they 619 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: want to take it down. I mentioned briefly the Nebraska's 620 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:11,440 Speaker 1: school where a principle actually said that the candy canes 621 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 1: look like the letter J, which stood for Jesus, so 622 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: they need to be banned. And my home state of 623 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,880 Speaker 1: Illinois in the capitol has a Christmas tree as they should, 624 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 1: has a menorah as they should because we're in the 625 00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 1: middle of Hanakah. Happy Hanakah to our Jewish friends, but 626 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: they also now have a Satanic statue. Um, how are 627 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: we losing the war on Christmas with Donald Trump in 628 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 1: the White House. Well, here's here's the thing. I think 629 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 1: the problem with Trump, and I'm sure he's well intentioned, 630 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: you know, telling people we're we're bringing Christmas back, you know, 631 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: because you're sitting Merry Christmas. It's it's a far bigger 632 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,640 Speaker 1: issue than people saying Happy Holidays versus Mary Christmas. I'm 633 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: not that offended by the happy holidays thing, only because 634 00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: New Year's Holiday, Hanaka's a holiday, and there are times 635 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: when it's just like, hey, there's numerous holidays. I'm going 636 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: to say, happy holidays work. It seems to be a 637 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,960 Speaker 1: real problem. Is when you get in and by the way, 638 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: before we even get into the finer specifics of it, 639 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: you have one side of the aisle denying that this 640 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,319 Speaker 1: happens at all. Oh, those crazy Republicans and Fox News, 641 00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 1: they're making up this war on Christmas. Well, you know, 642 00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: we don't need to use the language war on Christmas. 643 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: Let's just use the language of very stupid arguments to 644 00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,799 Speaker 1: pick and people take these battles over things like the 645 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: wise Men. And here's the thing, here's the thing. The 646 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: reality is this is a historical there's hostoral context to this. 647 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: Most Americans celebrate Christmas. Christmas is not some made up holiday. 648 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: It's not whatever you wanted to be. Christmas is what 649 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,080 Speaker 1: Christmas is. It's the birth of Jesus. It's the celebration 650 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: of that. Not everybody believes it's in Jesus. Everybody wants 651 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,919 Speaker 1: to celebrate those elements. That is what Christmas is. So 652 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,719 Speaker 1: when you start to water that down or remove that 653 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: you're actually taking away information from people, You're taking away education. 654 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,680 Speaker 1: I think it's great that we can teach one another 655 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: what Hanakah is, that we can teach one another what 656 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,359 Speaker 1: Christmas is, that we can have these conversations why are 657 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,680 Speaker 1: three wives and a problem? But beyond that, and we 658 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,760 Speaker 1: can talk about that. The bigger issue is the Satanist 659 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: and the atheists that they feel the need to be 660 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: so offensive towards those who celebrate Christmas that they have 661 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: to have a display mocking Christmas, that they feel the 662 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,479 Speaker 1: need to do that. It's just it's not even there's 663 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,399 Speaker 1: no decency. And we teach our kids to treat one another, well, 664 00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: how is mocking somebody's tradition treating them well? I just 665 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,239 Speaker 1: I don't understand it, and I think I will say this. 666 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 1: I know there's panic about, you know, the war on Christmas. 667 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,399 Speaker 1: I actually am seeing a lot of communities this year 668 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: and put in my own where they would have annual 669 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:45,280 Speaker 1: holiday tree lighting ceremonies, actually turning that into a Christmas 670 00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: tree ceremony. For the first time in five years, my 671 00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: town balls the holiday tree lighting ceremony a Christmas tree ceremony, 672 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: and that is interesting to me, and I think so. 673 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 1: I think there's a moving back towards rational thought because 674 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: the state must have been doing this three years and 675 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: they just continue too. Well, now that you bring that up, 676 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 1: the holiday tree lighting versus the Christmas tree lighting, I'm 677 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: starting to see that too now that they pay attention 678 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: to it. And Billy lives in the New York State 679 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,680 Speaker 1: outside of New York City and it's a real liberal 680 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: part of the world. And you're just down the road 681 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,960 Speaker 1: from the Catholic church outside of Boston that put a 682 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,640 Speaker 1: cage around its Nativity scene. I don't know if did 683 00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: you see that one? Yes, yeah, I did listen. Quite 684 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: manipulating the Christmas story to make a political point. It's 685 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: obnoxious that I just hate when people and it's it's 686 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: the I'm not going to compare it to what the 687 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,719 Speaker 1: scene that's they're doing, because they're different things, but it's 688 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: a fouled attempt to make an impact. To me, it's 689 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: like you're trying to make a point. You don't like 690 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 1: immigration policy, so you're taking the Nativity to try to 691 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,919 Speaker 1: try to make that point. I think it's pretty lame. 692 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,839 Speaker 1: I don't I don't know why anybody would find that 693 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 1: as a compelling piece of evidence making a political case. 694 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:05,080 Speaker 1: Let Christmas be Christmas. If I'm an atheist, and I'm not, obviously, 695 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 1: but you know what I'm doing, I'm looking out and 696 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,759 Speaker 1: saying it. Look, these people have a tradition and I 697 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: don't embrace it. I don't believe that, but I'm going 698 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 1: to respect the tradition. It's like I'm going to respi atheists, 699 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 1: you know, decision not to believe, but to go in 700 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: there and to just mock, you know, the Nativity with 701 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 1: these ridiculous displays and these atheists displays. Listen, you want 702 00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 1: to take prisons back. It's just back to the heart 703 00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,680 Speaker 1: of what it is. And I think here's the thing. 704 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: We're winning the war on Christmas. To me, and maybe 705 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: I'm crazy. If we get back to faith every day, 706 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 1: not just in December, not just on December twenty fifth, 707 00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,479 Speaker 1: then we get back to treating one another while loving God, 708 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,719 Speaker 1: loving others every day. That's how we win the war 709 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: on Christmas. It's how to bring the truth back into culture, 710 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,759 Speaker 1: you know. So we can get hung up on all 711 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: of these things, I think we should speak out against 712 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: the silliness when the atheists and Satanists do it, but 713 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: I think we should also encourage towns to be honest. 714 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,919 Speaker 1: So there's nothing unconstitutional about lighting a Christmas tree. There's 715 00:44:59,920 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: no it's the thing of the holiday tree. Somebody that 716 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,040 Speaker 1: lights the holiday tree and puts it in their house, 717 00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 1: So it's silliness, it's pc you know our vision. We 718 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 1: just got to get back to a rational thought and 719 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,799 Speaker 1: being kind of one another. You know, you bring up 720 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: a really good point.

If you guys, you're you're a 738 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:20,200 Speaker 1: faith filled family? Do you you do a Christmas tree? 739 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 1: And I know you do ELF on the shelf? How 740 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,920 Speaker 1: do you fight the commercialism of Christmas? Raising two young girls? 741 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: It's a real struggle. I mean. And here's the thing. 742 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 1: As much as I love I'm actually very sympathetic. Are 743 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 1: a lot of Christians don't celebrate. They don't they don't 744 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: CELEBTLF THELF. They feel like it's not It takes away 745 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 1: from the meeting of Christmas and the same goes for 746 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: the gifts giving and all that. We really try to 747 00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 1: set the Christmas being what Christmas is. So we've done 748 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,879 Speaker 1: a number of traditions to duty ELF. But we also 749 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:51,879 Speaker 1: do a shepherd on this church, which is another great 750 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,560 Speaker 1: thing for parents out there looking. It's a shepherd, you know, 751 00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,840 Speaker 1: doll that you move around and the goal is to 752 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,879 Speaker 1: get it in your connectivity or appintivity on Christmas. So 753 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 1: every day the kids look for the shepherd. They can 754 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: touch the shepherd. It's not like the elves. They can 755 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,879 Speaker 1: touch it. And there's a little Bible verse it every 756 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,360 Speaker 1: day and so we read that verse and it's about Christmas. 757 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: And so we've got traditions like that. And when we 758 00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,000 Speaker 1: talk to the kids, if you were to ask them, 759 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: what does the room meaning of Christmas? They know what 760 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 1: it is. And so we try to keep that daily 761 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 1: focus throughout December on the truth of it. And we 762 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,279 Speaker 1: try to keep their expectations on gifts, and we get 763 00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:24,439 Speaker 1: them a bunch of gifts. We make Christmas really nice, 764 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:27,040 Speaker 1: but we focus on look we're giving to you because 765 00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,439 Speaker 1: we were given a gift. You know, Jesus coming with gifts, 766 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:31,680 Speaker 1: His birth was a gift. And so it's a tough 767 00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: thing though, and I think parents really struggle because you 768 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,520 Speaker 1: almost have to keep up with the Joneses. Right, all 769 00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: the parents are doing this gift giving thing, and they're 770 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: all now the elves, the ridiculous elves on the shelf 771 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 1: are bringing gifts for the kids before Christmas. There's a 772 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: gift now, and we're just we don't do that like 773 00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,719 Speaker 1: there's no gift. I'm sorry. Kids, you got yourself sets 774 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:50,640 Speaker 1: your gift and you'll get your gifts of Christmas, so 775 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 1: you got to You gotta keep it in check. It's 776 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: a tough job, and you do a good job out it. 777 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: My friend.

I believe 816 00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: the company has pronounced way way it's spelled Huawei, and 817 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: China and their state media have called the US a 818 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:59,440 Speaker 1: despicable rogue over the arrest of this CFO. It is 819 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,799 Speaker 1: a a scary situation that we will get to when 820 00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,439 Speaker 1: we talk to our friend Gordon Chang, who is an 821 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,760 Speaker 1: expert on all the stuff going on in the Asian 822 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: Peninsula and he knows China inside out as well. We'll 823 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: talk to him just around the corner. That situation also 824 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:22,359 Speaker 1: addressed by Ted Cruz today, and Cruz talked about why 825 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 1: these Chinese companies that are manufacturing products that are worldwide 826 00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: are a danger and talked about the fact that Chinese 827 00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:40,800 Speaker 1: companies in their technology have infiltrated America, Canada, virtually any 828 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:45,400 Speaker 1: country that they sell their technology to. They include a 829 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:50,759 Speaker 1: backdoor that will send information back home to the mothership. 830 00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:58,000 Speaker 1: If you will another warning against governments that control all 831 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:02,640 Speaker 1: the industry. You know, the whole communism thing a bad idea, 832 00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:06,360 Speaker 1: a very bad idea. So we'll dive into that just 833 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,160 Speaker 1: around the corner. Also, Nancy Pelosi today kind of showed 834 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,319 Speaker 1: her I was going to say her hand, but I 835 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: think she kind of showed her butt. Nancy Pelosi was 836 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 1: asked yesterday if she'd be willing to support some degree 837 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:28,320 Speaker 1: of wall funding if she got a permanent, bona fide 838 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:33,040 Speaker 1: solution on DACA. And this is going to tell you 839 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 1: where the Democrats stand. This is going to prove to 840 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 1: you that there's really no honest interest in any bipartisanship 841 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 1: between the House and the Presidency. What am I talking about? 842 00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:54,279 Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Pelosi smiles and then doesn't really tell 843 00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 1: you the truth when she's talking about what the Democrats 844 00:52:58,520 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: are planning on doing. Listen to the answer to the 845 00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,879 Speaker 1: question about a bona fide solution to DACA and whether 846 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:13,279 Speaker 1: or not she could support funding for the walls. There 847 00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,120 Speaker 1: seems to be a portion again on the wall. I've 848 00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,160 Speaker 1: heard from a lot of Republicans in the House that 849 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,000 Speaker 1: they might have trouble moving legislation on the wall. They 850 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,200 Speaker 1: had two bills that failed this year on the wall. 851 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:26,600 Speaker 1: Would you be willing to support some degree of wall 852 00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,640 Speaker 1: funding if you got a permanent, bona fide solution on 853 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:36,200 Speaker 1: DOC No. No, She just flat out said no, there's 854 00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,440 Speaker 1: your indication what the reality is. That's Nancy Pelosi telling 855 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,359 Speaker 1: you exactly what she plans on doing. The next two 856 00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: years are going to be complete obstructionism. The next two 857 00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,560 Speaker 1: years you're going to see the resistance that has been 858 00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:54,400 Speaker 1: elected in place in Congress, in the House, maybe not 859 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:58,319 Speaker 1: so in the Senate. But Pelosi and the Democrats are 860 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: dug in. They think they have a mandate. They think 861 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 1: this forty seat blue wave gives them the mandate to 862 00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:12,360 Speaker 1: stop everything until the twenty twenty election. And I say, great, 863 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: good for you, because I know that the Republicans, if 864 00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,560 Speaker 1: they have a hair on their hind ends, will stand 865 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:23,839 Speaker 1: up and say, look at what they are doing. At 866 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,880 Speaker 1: least for two years, we had progress, We got a 867 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,240 Speaker 1: few things done, and maybe, just maybe there'll be another 868 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:34,120 Speaker 1: Supreme Court resignation in the next two years. Because you 869 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,479 Speaker 1: may be able to isolate Donald Trump, but you won't 870 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,880 Speaker 1: be able to isolate the fact that the Republicans control 871 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 1: the White House and the Senate, which would approve all 872 00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 1: those judicial nominations in any Supreme Court nomination. But Nancy 873 00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 1: Pelosi and the Democrats just flat out set up for resistance. 874 00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:56,759 Speaker 1: And she's going to try and tell you that it's 875 00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:01,440 Speaker 1: two different things, that the fun for the wall tying 876 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: to a permanent solution for DACA are two different things. 877 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,440 Speaker 1: They're not. How can you say that anything related to 878 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:16,040 Speaker 1: immigration is not the same thing. Pelosi is going to 879 00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:21,680 Speaker 1: be a problem to her party more than a problem 880 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 1: to the Republicans. How can that be, Mike, Well, she's 881 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: in her seventies now, and the youth movement and the party, 882 00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:35,680 Speaker 1: the Alexandriacazio Cortezes of the world are going to revolt 883 00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:40,520 Speaker 1: against Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer and the other The 884 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,239 Speaker 1: top four members of the Democrats in the House, the 885 00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,440 Speaker 1: top four members controlling the House are all closer to 886 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:54,000 Speaker 1: eighty than anything else. That's trouble with the Democratic youth movement. 887 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,919 Speaker 1: We'll dive into that a little bit more. Plus we'll 888 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,439 Speaker 1: talk about the situation with China and when we chat 889 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:03,719 Speaker 1: with Gordon Chan. Gordon Chang is next on The Buck 890 00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: Sexton Show. Michael Palkee and for Buck Sexton. On this 891 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:13,280 Speaker 1: Friday night, it is Pearl Harbor Day. We remember Pearl 892 00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,400 Speaker 1: Harbor today. We'll get into that about an hour from now. 893 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you the memories of a 894 00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,439 Speaker 1: woman in her eighties who was there just a few 895 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,960 Speaker 1: hundred yards away from where the bombing happened as a 896 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: young child, and she never told her grandkids about it. 897 00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,800 Speaker 1: She never told her nieces and nephews about it, because 898 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:37,160 Speaker 1: that's what the greatest generation did. They kept the bad 899 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: stuff inside and pushed forward. So you have to stick 900 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: around for that. We'll tell you the story of Aunt 901 00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:50,480 Speaker 1: b Bazansky that was just told after seventy seven years 902 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,359 Speaker 1: of keeping it inside. But we have other issues we 903 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: need to get to tonight. I told you I wanted 904 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,640 Speaker 1: to get some help understanding the arrest of the chief 905 00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,759 Speaker 1: fancial officer of a Chinese tech company. A big tech 906 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,920 Speaker 1: company makes a lot of cell phones. They're kind of 907 00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: like the Apple of China, I believe. So I need 908 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,880 Speaker 1: to bring in an expert and our friend, longtime guest 909 00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:16,760 Speaker 1: on many shows I've been on. Gordon Chang, a great author, 910 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 1: a great speaker, a guy who understands the region, is 911 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 1: squeezing as in tonight. Hey Gordon, how are you? I'm fine, 912 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,200 Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you so much. Mike. I always appreciate 913 00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:31,959 Speaker 1: your clarity on this region because you understand it so 914 00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:37,040 Speaker 1: well because you've been studying it forever. This situation with 915 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 1: the arrest of she's known as Sabrina Mangg or Kathy Mangg. 916 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 1: I can't pronounce her last name correctly, but this seems 917 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 1: to be sparking some international tension seriously between America and China. 918 00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:59,280 Speaker 1: Correct oh, certainly, Beijing is just enraged that anyone would 919 00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:03,880 Speaker 1: dare to arrests Communist Party royalty. She's the daughter of 920 00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: the founder of Huahwei Technologies, which is, as you point out, 921 00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:12,680 Speaker 1: the largest telecom equipment manufacturer in the world, and Huawei 922 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,680 Speaker 1: is critical to China's future. We've all heard of this 923 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,840 Speaker 1: Made in China twenty twenty five initiaship. We're china hope 924 00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:26,200 Speaker 1: to dominate ten sectors. China actually added an eleventh sector 925 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: earlier this year, that's five G wireless communications. Well, Huawei 926 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,640 Speaker 1: is China's hope to dominate five G and so therefore 927 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 1: she's critical because she is slated to become the CEO 928 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 1: of Huawei. Now she's the CFO, but at this time, 929 00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 1: right now, her future is very much in doubt, and 930 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: it's in doubt because she's been arrested in Canada and 931 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:57,840 Speaker 1: maybe extradited to the United States for I believe trading 932 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: with Iran and breaking our green meant that we wouldn't 933 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 1: be doing business with Iran. Is that the easiest way 934 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 1: to boil it down, that's right. The allegation is that 935 00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:14,480 Speaker 1: she was involved in Huawei's transactions with Iran that violated 936 00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:19,040 Speaker 1: American sanctions, and so this is a serious offense, of course, 937 00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:22,600 Speaker 1: and it comes at a time where the United States 938 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 1: has had real problems with Zte, which is almost a 939 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: sister company to Huawei. Zte has now violated two settlement 940 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: agreements with the United States, and I think basically the 941 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,000 Speaker 1: Trump administration just said enough is enough, and so they 942 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,400 Speaker 1: decided to lower the hammer on Huawei, which has been 943 00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,959 Speaker 1: known to be violating these sanctions for quite some time, 944 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 1: and also which was built upon stolen Cisco technology. So 945 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot of grievances here, a lot of grievances 946 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 1: between America and well it's not there are no real 947 00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,440 Speaker 1: private companies in China because the government seems to have 948 00:59:59,480 --> 01:00:02,920 Speaker 1: as hands in everything. But in the case of Huawei, 949 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:09,320 Speaker 1: I've heard senators like Ted Cruz say that Huawei is 950 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: also a concern, not just because of their relationship to Iran, 951 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: their dealings with Iran, but that they have back channel 952 01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 1: connections in all their technology that feeds information back to 953 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:27,120 Speaker 1: the mothership in China. Is that paranoia or is there 954 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:32,760 Speaker 1: a real concern for Whawei and Zte and any Chinese 955 01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:38,400 Speaker 1: company using their technology to feed information back home. Yeah, 956 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: that is certainly a reasonable suspicion which is certainly going 957 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: to become even more important to us. And the reason 958 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,240 Speaker 1: is that, as I mentioned, Huawei is involved in five G. 959 01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,400 Speaker 1: Five G is the Internet of things. It will connect 960 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 1: everything in your home, almost everything in your life. And 961 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,280 Speaker 1: if Huawei is part of the backbone of the country, 962 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 1: they'll know and for stance, you know you use your 963 01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:06,320 Speaker 1: toaster now the five G I'm sorry. The Five Eyes 964 01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 1: Intelligence Sharing Consortium includes the United States and Canada. Four 965 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:16,480 Speaker 1: of the five companies of countries have banned Huahwei from 966 01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,320 Speaker 1: five G networks. The only country that hasn't done that 967 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 1: in the Five Eyes is Canada. So this is going 968 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:28,200 Speaker 1: to be especially fascinating to watch the interplay among Beijing, 969 01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,440 Speaker 1: Ottawa and Washington. Well, a New New Zealand and Australia 970 01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:38,040 Speaker 1: had just recently blocked five G from Huawei into their 971 01:01:38,160 --> 01:01:42,320 Speaker 1: telecommunications companies. I didn't realize Canada was to hold out, 972 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,720 Speaker 1: and I have to wonder if there's some negotiation going 973 01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:50,560 Speaker 1: on right now between the State Department and Canada to 974 01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 1: get them on board with us. Gordon, let me ask you, 975 01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:55,360 Speaker 1: because I know I don't have a whole lot of 976 01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:59,919 Speaker 1: time with you. Gordon Chang is with us in turn, 977 01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,720 Speaker 1: when this arrest happened, When this detention happened, there's speculation 978 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 1: that it happened as Donald Trump was sitting down with 979 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:13,040 Speaker 1: Shi Sheng Peng last Saturday. Is there any truth to 980 01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:18,680 Speaker 1: that and does that create any additional tension? Well, it's 981 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 1: certainly true. Munglong Joe was detained a Saturday night. That's 982 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,040 Speaker 1: the same time that Sejun Ping, the Chinese ruler, and 983 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,640 Speaker 1: President Trump sat down for dinner in Buenos Aires. So 984 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,360 Speaker 1: that's certainly true. The question is whether this was coincidence, 985 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:39,240 Speaker 1: whether President Trump knew about it, Those things are up 986 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 1: in the air, apparently. Well. John Boltman, national Security Advisor, 987 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 1: said that the President was not informed that the arrest 988 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 1: was going to occur. A lot of people find that 989 01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,439 Speaker 1: hard to believe, but I think it's probably true. I'm 990 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,960 Speaker 1: sure that the Trump knew that there was going to 991 01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,800 Speaker 1: be an arrest at some point, but he probably didn't 992 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: know the timing. At the point right now is that 993 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 1: we have so many challenges from China and our responses 994 01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,120 Speaker 1: are going to bump into each other. So this is 995 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:11,960 Speaker 1: going to happen more and more in the future. This 996 01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,720 Speaker 1: is going to be really interesting to watch. Where does 997 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: it go next? Gordon, Well, there's a there's a bail 998 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 1: hearing today for miss Mung. The decision probably is going 999 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: to be Monday. I think that she certainly is a 1000 01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:30,320 Speaker 1: flight risk because Beijing wants her back. But you know, 1001 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,760 Speaker 1: we'll see from there. And then of course Canada has 1002 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 1: to decide on the extradition. And if she is extradited, 1003 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,760 Speaker 1: she's going to be brought before trial I think in 1004 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 1: the Eastern District of New York in other words, Brooklyn. 1005 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:45,880 Speaker 1: And this will be a long drama because each of 1006 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 1: these steps could require months. Wow. So this is certainly 1007 01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 1: this is a global controversy and this could end up 1008 01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,600 Speaker 1: in our backyard in the Eastern District of New York. 1009 01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,160 Speaker 1: And as you said, it could go on for months 1010 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: and months and months, and that could have an impact 1011 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,880 Speaker 1: on this ninety days we have as the clock ticks 1012 01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,240 Speaker 1: to make a trade deal with China, and as you saw, 1013 01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,720 Speaker 1: the market kind of had another bad day today. If 1014 01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: we don't solve this, I think that could have a 1015 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:23,320 Speaker 1: chilling effect on that ninety day timeline. Well, I'm sure 1016 01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 1: that it will. The Chinese are really upset about this now. 1017 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: It could have a good effect, could have a bad effect. 1018 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,520 Speaker 1: We just don't know. But we know that Beijing has 1019 01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:37,760 Speaker 1: demandator back, has used extremely strong and undiplomatic language, and 1020 01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 1: we know that China will do everything it can to 1021 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 1: pressure both Canada and the United States to release this 1022 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,320 Speaker 1: CFO of Aalwei. Okay, I'll keep an eye on that. 1023 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,320 Speaker 1: Gordon Chang a great author, great speaker, a guy who 1024 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:56,440 Speaker 1: understands the region. I got for a summer reading gift. 1025 01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 1: I got faithful ties the history of America's preoccupation with China. 1026 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:04,160 Speaker 1: But that's not you, that's somebody else. What's the new 1027 01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:07,880 Speaker 1: book I need to be looking out for. Well, for me, 1028 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 1: no new book there is a Chang at Stanford. I'm 1029 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,880 Speaker 1: Gordon GI Chang, but people can read what I write 1030 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:20,640 Speaker 1: at my Twitter handle Gordon GI Chang and my website 1031 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:24,520 Speaker 1: is Gordon Chang dot com, Gordon Chang dot com, Gordon 1032 01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 1: g Chang on Twitter. A guy who's got his finger 1033 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 1: on the pulse of what's going on in China and 1034 01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:33,160 Speaker 1: the region. Thank you, my friend, appreciate you joining us 1035 01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:36,080 Speaker 1: on a Friday evening, so well, thank you so much 1036 01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: for the opportunity.

Like I said, the 1039 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:48,480 Speaker 1: bail hearing happened today and Gordon knew what was going 1040 01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 1: on there. This story of an executive with a Chinese 1041 01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: technology company that is at the at the center of 1042 01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:02,479 Speaker 1: China's push to dominate the world in technology is he said, 1043 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:07,040 Speaker 1: the ten sectors is now eleven sectors. This is probably 1044 01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:10,120 Speaker 1: one of the biggest stories that you're not hearing anything 1045 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,720 Speaker 1: about from mainstream media. So please pay attention to this. 1046 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:19,000 Speaker 1: And the guy I suggest you follows Gordon ge Chang, 1047 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 1: and he's everywhere again.

When we get back, I have 1049 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:32,600 Speaker 1: to talk about the millennials because they're doing something really dumb, 1050 01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,040 Speaker 1: and since it's Friday, we have to have a little 1051 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 1: fun on a Friday. I'll tell you the latest survey 1052 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: on millennials and some of the silly things they're willing 1053 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:47,720 Speaker 1: to give up in order to keep their Amazon. That's 1054 01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: next on the Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelca here on 1055 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:56,200 Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show on this Friday evening, filling in 1056 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,480 Speaker 1: from my friend Buck Sexton. Tonight you want to join 1057 01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 1: the conversation, you are well come to the phone number 1058 01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:04,600 Speaker 1: eight four four nine hundred Buck eight four four nine 1059 01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:08,640 Speaker 1: hundred buc K, which is two eight two five. And 1060 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,120 Speaker 1: like I said, next hour, we're going to hear from 1061 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:19,400 Speaker 1: a Pearl Harbor survivor, someone who kept the story inside 1062 01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:25,080 Speaker 1: for seventy seven years and only this year shared it 1063 01:07:25,160 --> 01:07:30,560 Speaker 1: with her surviving family members, someone who was there just 1064 01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:34,360 Speaker 1: a few hundred yards away as the bombs and the 1065 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:40,200 Speaker 1: bullets were coming down, and she explains. We also talked 1066 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 1: earlier with our attorney friend Wendy Patrick about the sentencing 1067 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 1: memo in the Michael Cohen case. He's expected, or at 1068 01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: least they recommended forty two months in prison, and they 1069 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,360 Speaker 1: detailed some of the stuff he did. It's it's not 1070 01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:00,600 Speaker 1: looked good for Michael Cohen. And we will get more 1071 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:04,800 Speaker 1: when we get the Komi transcript from his testimony today 1072 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,439 Speaker 1: in front of two House committees. The transcript comes out 1073 01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 1: twenty five hours after he finished, and he's going to 1074 01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:14,120 Speaker 1: be back in front of those committees in a couple 1075 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:18,440 Speaker 1: of weeks. As our friend Wenny Patrick, an attorney prosecutor, 1076 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,800 Speaker 1: told us that it often takes time to do the 1077 01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,200 Speaker 1: legwork for the next phase of that questioning. But I 1078 01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 1: mentioned millennials before the break, and I got a couple 1079 01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,920 Speaker 1: of stories about millennials that have to share with you. 1080 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,680 Speaker 1: The first one is a survey about millennials and what 1081 01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:42,200 Speaker 1: they would give up to keep Amazon. They love Amazon 1082 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:46,799 Speaker 1: so much, that Amazon is so important of their lives 1083 01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:54,240 Speaker 1: that they would give up alcohol and sex before they 1084 01:08:54,240 --> 01:08:56,880 Speaker 1: would give up the online retailer. Once you just think 1085 01:08:56,920 --> 01:09:00,080 Speaker 1: about that, think about that. If you're a millennial and 1086 01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 1: you're listening to this, do you really support this? New 1087 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 1: survey polled more than eleven hundred people who are between 1088 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:11,040 Speaker 1: the ages of eighteen and thirty four millennials who had 1089 01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,760 Speaker 1: used consumer tech products or purchased them on Amazon in 1090 01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:18,320 Speaker 1: the last year. And they asked them, you know, deal 1091 01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:22,599 Speaker 1: like the Amazon you Sixty one percent of the millennials 1092 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 1: shop in the middle of the night, forty pc forty 1093 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,799 Speaker 1: seven percent this one's making me stumble in my speech. 1094 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: Forty seven percent shop while they are in the bathroom. 1095 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:39,720 Speaker 1: Twenty four percent have made Amazon purchases while grocery shopping 1096 01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: or sitting in traffic. So put your phone down while 1097 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,920 Speaker 1: you're in traffic place and stop taking it into the 1098 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: bathroom with you. It's just disgusting. We all know what's 1099 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:55,040 Speaker 1: flying around the air in the bathroom. But the weird part. 1100 01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 1: Seventy seven percent of millennials surveyed said they would go 1101 01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:03,040 Speaker 1: without alcohol four for a year rather than give up 1102 01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:07,280 Speaker 1: Amazon for a year. Forty four percent say they would 1103 01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 1: go without sacks rather than give up Amazon. You know, 1104 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,479 Speaker 1: we talked about the holidays earlier, and we talked to 1105 01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 1: our friend Billy Halliwell from Pure Flicks, and he talked 1106 01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,720 Speaker 1: about the reason for the season and about faith and 1107 01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff. And I really think the message of 1108 01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:31,439 Speaker 1: Christmas and Hanukkah and this season that we are in 1109 01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:35,000 Speaker 1: is that we should love people and use things, but 1110 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:41,400 Speaker 1: instead we are all using people and loving things like Amazon. 1111 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:47,040 Speaker 1: Just a little warning that the millennials are thinking differently 1112 01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:51,560 Speaker 1: than you and I, and speaking of thinking differently, probably 1113 01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:58,640 Speaker 1: the poster child for millennials and dumb things, Alexandria Acasio 1114 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 1: Cortez AOC as the cool Kids callers. She's even got 1115 01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:06,759 Speaker 1: a shortened name like the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia NBS. 1116 01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:10,960 Speaker 1: But Alexandriacazio Cortez is in a little bit of a 1117 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:15,280 Speaker 1: controversy after Donald Trump Junior kind of trolled her online. 1118 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,720 Speaker 1: He posted a meme that had her picture and the 1119 01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 1: words why are you so afraid of a socialist economy? 1120 01:11:22,880 --> 01:11:25,759 Speaker 1: And then underneath it was a picture of President Trump 1121 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: and the words because Americans want to walk their dogs, 1122 01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 1: not eat them, obviously a reference to so many socialist 1123 01:11:34,680 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 1: countries that are thrown into turmoil and starvation, to where 1124 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:45,479 Speaker 1: people's pets end up becoming food. Well, Alexandria Kazio Cortes 1125 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:51,479 Speaker 1: took exception to Donald Trump tweeting that, and she threatened him. 1126 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,799 Speaker 1: She basically threatened him, writing I have noticed that Junior 1127 01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:59,320 Speaker 1: here has a habit of posting nonsense about me whenever 1128 01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:03,479 Speaker 1: the Muller and investigation heats up. Please keep it coming, Junior. 1129 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:09,080 Speaker 1: It's definitely quote a very very large brain close quote 1130 01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:12,639 Speaker 1: idea to troll a member of a body that will 1131 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:18,679 Speaker 1: have subpoena power in a month, have fun exclamation point. 1132 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,800 Speaker 1: So what do we have here? We have Alexandria Kazio Cortez, 1133 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 1: not yet a congress person, but soon to be a 1134 01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:28,839 Speaker 1: congress person, and she will be part of the party 1135 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,240 Speaker 1: that has control of the House Chamber. So in fact, 1136 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:36,000 Speaker 1: her party will have subpoena power. But what is she 1137 01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:42,120 Speaker 1: doing threatening don Junior.

On this Friday, Pearl 1164 01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:26,840 Speaker 1: Harbor Day. Remember Pearl Harbor. If you don't understand it, 1165 01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:31,559 Speaker 1: take a few minutes and google the Pearl Harbor. And 1166 01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,080 Speaker 1: you don't even have to use Google, use Bang or 1167 01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:40,799 Speaker 1: some other search engine, but you should understand what Pearl 1168 01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:45,160 Speaker 1: Harbor meant to this country seventy seven years ago as 1169 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:50,719 Speaker 1: an attack on our naval base in the Hawaiian Islands 1170 01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:55,160 Speaker 1: before they were a state, killing twenty four hundred plus Americans, 1171 01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: crippling our fleet that was there, and returning point in 1172 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,760 Speaker 1: the war for us. It got us to go, we're 1173 01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:06,600 Speaker 1: all in Japan, get ready because we're coming, and we 1174 01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:11,160 Speaker 1: will hear from a survivor of Pearl Harbor, a dear 1175 01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:14,000 Speaker 1: friend of mine who's in the talk radio business as well. 1176 01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:18,880 Speaker 1: My friend Drew was having dinner with his family over 1177 01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,840 Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving break and he asked them all to talk 1178 01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: about Christmas memories to get ready for the Christmas holiday, 1179 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:31,240 Speaker 1: and his aunt Bee, who is somewhere in her eighties, 1180 01:15:32,280 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: spoke up. And nobody knew that Aunt Bee had witnessed 1181 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. Nobody had any idea that she had a 1182 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,920 Speaker 1: front row seat to history that day had survived. Aunt Bee, 1183 01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:48,760 Speaker 1: who was at the time a little beatrice, probably a 1184 01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:52,880 Speaker 1: ten year old, I'm speculating that's about the age she was. 1185 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 1: She had a five year old brother, and her mom 1186 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,960 Speaker 1: and her dad. They all lived on an Air Force 1187 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:04,120 Speaker 1: base just hundreds of yards away, a few hundred yards 1188 01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,560 Speaker 1: away from the ships at Pearl Harbor, and so on 1189 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:13,439 Speaker 1: December seventh, she was able to remember everything from that day. 1190 01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,519 Speaker 1: And as my buddy Drew said, tell us about your memory, 1191 01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:23,719 Speaker 1: she said this and stunned the family. Well it was different. 1192 01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the Japanese had just bomb Pearl Harbor and 1193 01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: like we were right there. She went on to tell 1194 01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,400 Speaker 1: the story, And we will share the story with you 1195 01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 1: later on this hour. I have to get back to 1196 01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:39,799 Speaker 1: something I was talking about earlier. It was Alexandriacazio Cortez. 1197 01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: It was going after the millennials, as I always do. 1198 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,360 Speaker 1: If you know me, if you listen to me on radio, 1199 01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,800 Speaker 1: or you follow me on Pieropelka dot com or at 1200 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:53,040 Speaker 1: stuntbrain on Twitter, you know that I have a tendency 1201 01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:56,000 Speaker 1: to go after the millennials because there's so much good 1202 01:16:56,040 --> 01:17:02,840 Speaker 1: target material there. But Acazzio quartet went after Donald Trump Junior. Now, 1203 01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:06,760 Speaker 1: she said a host of really uneducated things. After her 1204 01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:12,040 Speaker 1: election victory. She talked about getting sworn in, and she 1205 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:19,160 Speaker 1: talked about getting inaugurated into inaugurated and then signing bills 1206 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:23,799 Speaker 1: and stuff. There's no inauguration for members of the House, 1207 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: and the House members don't sign bills. But she got 1208 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,000 Speaker 1: upset that Donald Trump Junior told her a little bit 1209 01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:36,040 Speaker 1: mock socialism. And she is a socialist, let's face it. 1210 01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,479 Speaker 1: She is somebody who would be real happy if America 1211 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: became a socialist country. And she posted this tweet on 1212 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:49,160 Speaker 1: the Twitter. I've noticed that Junior here has a habit 1213 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,080 Speaker 1: of posting nonsense about me whenever the Muller investigation heats up. 1214 01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:57,519 Speaker 1: Please keep it coming. It's definitely a very, very large 1215 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,120 Speaker 1: brain idea to troll a member of a body that 1216 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: will have subpoena power in a month. Have fun. And 1217 01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:12,880 Speaker 1: everybody noticed. Everybody knows because the House Ethics Manual explicitly 1218 01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:17,720 Speaker 1: prohibits the kind of threat that Alexandria Kazio Cortez just 1219 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:23,320 Speaker 1: issued against Donald Trump Junior for his refusal to support 1220 01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:28,640 Speaker 1: her political agenda. That's the interpretation of the federalist Sean Davis, 1221 01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:33,360 Speaker 1: who wrote that on Twitter and highlighted the section of 1222 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:36,840 Speaker 1: the House Ethics Manual. And I guess Alexandria Kazio Cortes 1223 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,280 Speaker 1: has been a little too busy to read the rules 1224 01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:45,120 Speaker 1: she's supposed to be getting ready to observe. Sean Davis 1225 01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,080 Speaker 1: wrote House Prohibition on the very kind of threat that 1226 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,799 Speaker 1: a Kazu Cortes just made to Donald Trump Junior couldn't 1227 01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:59,240 Speaker 1: be clearer. Lawmakers are quote prohibited from threatening punitive action 1228 01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,720 Speaker 1: close quote against people or groups not politically supporting the 1229 01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:10,280 Speaker 1: lawmaker Ethics Committee should investigate? Can you investigate somebody who's 1230 01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:17,400 Speaker 1: not yet an elected member of Congress? Ben Shapiro also wrote, 1231 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,920 Speaker 1: so if he trolls you on media, then you're going 1232 01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: to use the power of the government to come after him. 1233 01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 1: That's not fascist or anything. This is what the fascist 1234 01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 1: don't realize. The people that would shut down your right 1235 01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:36,880 Speaker 1: to have a different opinion are exactly the example of fascism. 1236 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,800 Speaker 1: Derek Hunter wrote, So you stalk Donald Trump Junior on 1237 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 1: Twitter and are now threatening to abuse congressional subpoena power 1238 01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:49,880 Speaker 1: for a personal fendetta if he continues to point out 1239 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 1: the stupid things you say. How very progressive. I'm really 1240 01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:01,400 Speaker 1: worried about Alexandria Casio Cortez. I think she is dangerous, 1241 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,880 Speaker 1: and yet I also think She's not as dumb as 1242 01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:08,920 Speaker 1: we think she is. I think she has succeeded in 1243 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 1: making herself the story she is. She is kind of 1244 01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 1: a hot mess in front of the media, and yet 1245 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 1: she's allowed to threaten subpoena power. She's allowed to threaten 1246 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:30,400 Speaker 1: the president's son. Now, Don Junior may have some legal 1247 01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:33,519 Speaker 1: problems of his own, as we've heard whisp around the 1248 01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:39,599 Speaker 1: Muller investigation, but for this woman to threaten subpoena power 1249 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,599 Speaker 1: before she's even sworn in to me is a real 1250 01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:47,639 Speaker 1: dangerous thing. She's dangerous from that level. But I also 1251 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:50,960 Speaker 1: think we need to keep an eye on Alexandria Casio Cortez. 1252 01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,760 Speaker 1: Do not underestimate this woman, not one bit. She knows 1253 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot more than she's letting on, and somebody 1254 01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,599 Speaker 1: else is behind pulling the strings. I'm going to give 1255 01:21:02,640 --> 01:21:06,600 Speaker 1: you a little hint. If you know the group the 1256 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,080 Speaker 1: Young Turks run by a guy who's not so young 1257 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:14,600 Speaker 1: but might be a Turk jenk juger, he may be 1258 01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:18,640 Speaker 1: one of the people inside the machine that created Alexandria 1259 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:27,120 Speaker 1: Acazio Cortez. His group allegedly held the website that ultimately 1260 01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:31,400 Speaker 1: became her website. There are connections to a group of 1261 01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:36,120 Speaker 1: progressives who are hoping to run four hundred candidates in 1262 01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:43,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four hundred candidates for the House. Think about it, 1263 01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:47,919 Speaker 1: Progressives hold the purse strings if they get four hundred 1264 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,400 Speaker 1: seats in Congress. Hell, if they get three hundred seats 1265 01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:55,680 Speaker 1: in Congress. It's a very dangerous thing. So pay attention 1266 01:21:55,760 --> 01:22:00,680 Speaker 1: to Alexandria Acazio Cortez. She is not someone to be 1267 01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:04,160 Speaker 1: written off as just a fool. She was someone to 1268 01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:08,160 Speaker 1: be concerned about. Now I have to tell you something. 1269 01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,479 Speaker 1: I'm not a coffee drinker, but I have a coffee 1270 01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 1: drinker in my life who is getting a very very 1271 01:22:16,120 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 1: special gift from me this Christmas.

And the interesting 1300 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,080 Speaker 1: thing in all this is Alan Dershwitz, a guy who 1301 01:24:20,200 --> 01:24:23,520 Speaker 1: is a liberal, a guy who was a Hillary Clinton supporter, 1302 01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:28,240 Speaker 1: a guy who appears on Fox frequently. Because the Harvard 1303 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 1: law professor who is, as we said, a liberal, I 1304 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 1: think has great clarity on these kinds of situations. So 1305 01:24:36,280 --> 01:24:39,760 Speaker 1: when we get back, we will play for you the 1306 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:44,519 Speaker 1: Dershwitz interpretation of the sentencing guidelines for Michael Cohen, what 1307 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,439 Speaker 1: they mean for Cohen, but also what they mean for 1308 01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:51,360 Speaker 1: the President as it relates to what Robert Mueller may 1309 01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:56,519 Speaker 1: have in his investigation. That's next on The buck Sexton 1310 01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,880 Speaker 1: Show with Michael Pelka. Michael Pelka in for my friend 1311 01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,920 Speaker 1: box Sexton Buckabee back on Monday in the buck Sexton Show. 1312 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,280 Speaker 1: Thank you for joining me tonight. You can follow me 1313 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:11,880 Speaker 1: on Twitter at Stunt brain all one word stuntbr ai 1314 01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:15,080 Speaker 1: n or just go to Purepelka dot com and you 1315 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,599 Speaker 1: can see what I'm up to, the stories I'm interested in. 1316 01:25:17,680 --> 01:25:21,960 Speaker 1: Gi'll get the daily It's not always a rant, but 1317 01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:24,200 Speaker 1: it kind of is. It's called the two minute Drill. 1318 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,920 Speaker 1: My anger in two minutes. I have good news. Tonight, 1319 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:32,200 Speaker 1: I have good I bring good news to the people 1320 01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:37,719 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Finally, our long national 1321 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:42,639 Speaker 1: nightmare that was Michelle obama strict limitations on school lunches 1322 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 1: is over. How do I know this Well, we now 1323 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:53,320 Speaker 1: are seeing schools being allowed to have chocolate milk back 1324 01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 1: in the cafeterias. Michelle Obama denied us chocolate milk. So 1325 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm happy to see that that happened. CNN had this 1326 01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,880 Speaker 1: giant report earlier this morning that John Kelly was going 1327 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:10,000 Speaker 1: to be gone by dinner time tonight, and he's not. 1328 01:26:10,960 --> 01:26:14,240 Speaker 1: The guy who I think is one of the key 1329 01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 1: members of the White House staff, the chief of Staff, 1330 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:21,120 Speaker 1: John Kelly is still there, and please God, please keep 1331 01:26:21,200 --> 01:26:24,720 Speaker 1: him there. I think he's a great man who I 1332 01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,479 Speaker 1: know praying on the air. But I think that's a 1333 01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 1: big deal. We talked earlier in the show about the 1334 01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 1: sentencing memo for Michael Cohen, and Robert Mueller said Cohen 1335 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:45,080 Speaker 1: was helpful, but the sentencing memo about Michael Cohen's case 1336 01:26:45,479 --> 01:26:50,559 Speaker 1: from the court in New York wants four years and 1337 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:56,640 Speaker 1: that's a big deal. Alan Dershowitz, the liberal Hilary Clinton 1338 01:26:56,840 --> 01:27:00,439 Speaker 1: support her had some very interesting things to say in 1339 01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:05,240 Speaker 1: Fox News just before this show started. He was talking 1340 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,800 Speaker 1: with Jesse Waters about the guidelines in the memo for 1341 01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 1: coin sentencing, and Alan Dershowitz, again the guy who's a 1342 01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 1: liberal Harvard liberal who looks at the law without party, 1343 01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:24,479 Speaker 1: said some pretty interesting things in this clip. I think 1344 01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:27,799 Speaker 1: there are two possibilities, One that Cohen hasn't really provided 1345 01:27:27,840 --> 01:27:32,400 Speaker 1: them very much or hasn't been completely cooperative, or two 1346 01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 1: that by recommending a very very harsh sentence, they're putting 1347 01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,639 Speaker 1: more pressure on Cohen maybe to come up with even 1348 01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 1: more information, because the government has the power to get 1349 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:48,000 Speaker 1: the sentence reduced afterward if they can tell a court 1350 01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:52,400 Speaker 1: that there was cooperation. So right now, it does not 1351 01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:55,240 Speaker 1: sound like it's good news from Butler. It doesn't sound 1352 01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:59,720 Speaker 1: like in Cohen they have found a witness that will 1353 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:04,160 Speaker 1: give them the key to the kingdom. Interesting. Alan Dershowitz 1354 01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:08,879 Speaker 1: is saying that the memo all about Michael Cohen sentencing 1355 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:13,120 Speaker 1: and the recommendations are not good news for Robert Muller. 1356 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 1: And if you watch CNN or MSNBC, why would you, 1357 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry I watch it so you don't have to. 1358 01:28:19,120 --> 01:28:21,640 Speaker 1: You will see a parade of Democrats saying this is 1359 01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,120 Speaker 1: bad news for Donald Trump. While it may not be 1360 01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:28,479 Speaker 1: the best news. According to Alan Dershowitz, a liberal Hillary 1361 01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:33,160 Speaker 1: Clinton supporter, this is bad news for Robert Mueller. I'll 1362 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:38,519 Speaker 1: let him continue. I'm so far the only college evidence 1363 01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,200 Speaker 1: that he has provided is the campaign contribution issue, and 1364 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:46,559 Speaker 1: it's a very, very weak case because a president is 1365 01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:50,880 Speaker 1: entitled to pay off women in order to help his family, 1366 01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,519 Speaker 1: help his brand, And even if it was to help 1367 01:28:53,520 --> 01:28:56,760 Speaker 1: the campaign, remember the timing that he wouldn't have had 1368 01:28:56,800 --> 01:29:01,360 Speaker 1: to file anything until after the election. I think many 1369 01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:04,680 Speaker 1: courts would say no harm, no foul. Even if he 1370 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:07,439 Speaker 1: had filed it after the election, it would wouldn't have 1371 01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:11,320 Speaker 1: had an impact on the election. So the campaign contribution 1372 01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:15,519 Speaker 1: case is an extraordinarily weak one. The evidence of him 1373 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:20,000 Speaker 1: maybe wanting to build a tower in Moscow, that's not 1374 01:29:20,160 --> 01:29:23,959 Speaker 1: a crime. It's not collusion. If the president or somebody 1375 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:28,559 Speaker 1: offered putin, as some people have suggested, a penthouse on 1376 01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:31,320 Speaker 1: the top of the building in order to get a 1377 01:29:31,400 --> 01:29:34,479 Speaker 1: license to build a building, that would be different under 1378 01:29:34,520 --> 01:29:37,240 Speaker 1: the Federal Practices Act that I've seen no evidence to 1379 01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:42,400 Speaker 1: support that quick quo quote so really, according to one 1380 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:46,680 Speaker 1: of the great legal minds in America, Alan Dershowitz, the 1381 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:50,880 Speaker 1: memo on the sentencing for Cohen really stinks for Cohen, 1382 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:55,400 Speaker 1: and it's also bad news for Robert Mueller. And while 1383 01:29:55,680 --> 01:29:59,120 Speaker 1: there are certainly some unsavory elements of what the president 1384 01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:04,840 Speaker 1: did in having Michael Cohen payoff women, there may be 1385 01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:11,760 Speaker 1: absolutely nothing illegal in what was done. Absolutely nothing illegal. 1386 01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:20,880 Speaker 1: Unsavory yes, slimy, yes, illegal no. So we shall see. 1387 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:25,240 Speaker 1: We're not yet at the end of the Robert Muller investigation. 1388 01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:27,879 Speaker 1: We're twenty months into this. How many millions of dollars 1389 01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,960 Speaker 1: have been wasted on this, How much time has been 1390 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,719 Speaker 1: sucked up by this, which prevented Donald Trump from pushing 1391 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:40,400 Speaker 1: forward with his agenda. We will see. We will see 1392 01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:44,759 Speaker 1: one of the Trump lawyers apparently met with a Russian 1393 01:30:44,880 --> 01:30:49,679 Speaker 1: offering political synergy. But is there anything there? Is there 1394 01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:55,120 Speaker 1: absolutely anything there. I'm telling you, I don't see it. 1395 01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing it at all. So today this might 1396 01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:04,120 Speaker 1: be a nothing burger for Donald Trump. It's certainly a 1397 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:07,599 Speaker 1: big four year in prison burger for Michael Cohen. It 1398 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,439 Speaker 1: can't be a happy honeka for him. It's got to 1399 01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:13,720 Speaker 1: be a gigantic disappointment for him after all the cooperation, 1400 01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,280 Speaker 1: but as Alan Dershowood said, it might lead to more 1401 01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:21,280 Speaker 1: squeezing of Cohen, enticing him to give up even more information. 1402 01:31:22,200 --> 01:31:24,680 Speaker 1: We shall see a lot of that's hanging out there. 1403 01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,439 Speaker 1: We have a lot of things to watch over the weekend. 1404 01:31:27,479 --> 01:31:30,479 Speaker 1: We're going to get the transcript of the Komi hearing 1405 01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:33,679 Speaker 1: today and then in two more weeks we'll have another 1406 01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:38,360 Speaker 1: Komi hearing, and we may get some news on Canada 1407 01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:41,439 Speaker 1: whether or not they're going to extradite the Chinese official 1408 01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:46,040 Speaker 1: to America to face trial for violating our sanctions agreement. 1409 01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:48,639 Speaker 1: And that's a big deals relates to the stock market 1410 01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:52,120 Speaker 1: down another five hundred points today. So there are a 1411 01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:54,160 Speaker 1: lot of things to watch this weekend. As if you 1412 01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:58,080 Speaker 1: didn't have enough to deal with over the run up 1413 01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:01,280 Speaker 1: to Christmas, in the middle of Haneka, I'm telling you, 1414 01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:03,799 Speaker 1: but I have a special treat for you. Just around 1415 01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:07,599 Speaker 1: the corner we are we're going to spend some time 1416 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,360 Speaker 1: talking with or hearing from. I didn't get to talk 1417 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,320 Speaker 1: to her, my friend talked to her. We're going to 1418 01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:19,400 Speaker 1: get to hear from a survivor of the attack on 1419 01:32:19,479 --> 01:32:25,679 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor, and this was the first year that none 1420 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:30,680 Speaker 1: of the members, the surviving members of the USS Arizona 1421 01:32:30,840 --> 01:32:35,639 Speaker 1: were at the memorial this year. This first time so 1422 01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:39,080 Speaker 1: to hear from someone who was at Pearl Harbor on 1423 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:42,719 Speaker 1: December seventh, nineteen forty one, who as a young woman 1424 01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:46,360 Speaker 1: took it all in and remembered it. I think it's 1425 01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:49,960 Speaker 1: a pretty special moment. I'll share you the story of 1426 01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:56,679 Speaker 1: Aunt b Bazansky. It it's quite touching. She really took 1427 01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:58,760 Speaker 1: me by surprise. She has a powerful voice for a 1428 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:00,759 Speaker 1: woman in her eighties. I'm not I tell you exactly 1429 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:02,960 Speaker 1: how old she is. That would be rude, but you 1430 01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,760 Speaker 1: will hear from a Pearl Harbor survivor and you get 1431 01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:13,040 Speaker 1: chills if you like I did. Pay attention to it. 1432 01:33:13,520 --> 01:33:17,599 Speaker 1: Special moment. Special segments coming up on The Buck Sexton Show. 1433 01:33:17,680 --> 01:33:21,760 Speaker 1: Michael Pelka saying thanks for hanging out with me. Let's 1434 01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:26,000 Speaker 1: have a little historical perspective on the greatness of America. 1435 01:33:26,320 --> 01:33:31,439 Speaker 1: Next it is The Buck Sexton Show. On this Friday night, 1436 01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:36,600 Speaker 1: December seventh, seventy seventh anniversary of the attack on America's 1437 01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:41,080 Speaker 1: base at Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands, before Hawaii 1438 01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:44,840 Speaker 1: was a state. And it's a day that truly will 1439 01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:49,080 Speaker 1: live an infamy in the words of FDR, and a 1440 01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:54,280 Speaker 1: day we must never forget. And here's something really surprising. 1441 01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:58,320 Speaker 1: There are many Americans who were part of Pearl Harbor 1442 01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:02,760 Speaker 1: who never talked about it. And I know this was 1443 01:34:02,840 --> 01:34:06,040 Speaker 1: the day that I believe at the ceremonies at the 1444 01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:10,479 Speaker 1: museum at Pearl Harbor that we did not have any 1445 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:15,800 Speaker 1: of the survivors in attendance because they're all getting so 1446 01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:20,200 Speaker 1: old it's difficult for them to travel. A friend of mine, 1447 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:23,360 Speaker 1: who also happens to be like minded, a conservative like 1448 01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:26,720 Speaker 1: all of us, said that they were sitting around the 1449 01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:31,280 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving table and they were talking about the upcoming Christmas holidays. 1450 01:34:32,280 --> 01:34:35,439 Speaker 1: And my buddy Drew likes to ask everybody what was 1451 01:34:35,479 --> 01:34:42,680 Speaker 1: their favorite Christmas memory. And his aunt b b Bazansky, 1452 01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:46,000 Speaker 1: who is a woman in her eighties. You don't actually 1453 01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 1: ask a woman her age, that's not polite. But b 1454 01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:55,720 Speaker 1: Bazansky was around during Pearl Harbor and she told a 1455 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,879 Speaker 1: story she had never told any of the family members. 1456 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:04,400 Speaker 1: And thank my friend Drew was recording, he captured her 1457 01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:08,960 Speaker 1: saying this when he asked what was your favorite or 1458 01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:12,960 Speaker 1: most unusual Christmas memory. Well, it was different. I mean, 1459 01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:16,320 Speaker 1: the Japanese had just bomb Pearl Harbor and like we 1460 01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:19,879 Speaker 1: were right there, and like we were right there. Nobody 1461 01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:24,040 Speaker 1: knew this. Nobody had any idea that Aunt Bee was 1462 01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:28,200 Speaker 1: at Pearl Harbor, that as a young girl she witnessed it, 1463 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,720 Speaker 1: that she and her mother and her younger brother and 1464 01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:34,680 Speaker 1: her father, who was in the Air Force, witnessed it. 1465 01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:39,680 Speaker 1: So Drew sat back and let his recording pick up 1466 01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:44,040 Speaker 1: Aunt Bee's story of Pearl Harbor, and I want to 1467 01:35:44,080 --> 01:35:47,519 Speaker 1: share it with you. Okay. Well, first of all, my 1468 01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,519 Speaker 1: dad was in the Air Force and he was stationed 1469 01:35:51,560 --> 01:35:56,120 Speaker 1: at Hickham Field, which is right next to Pearl Harbor. 1470 01:35:56,240 --> 01:35:59,240 Speaker 1: There was just like a chain link fence between the two, 1471 01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,719 Speaker 1: so we were very close, I mean really close. Anyway, 1472 01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:09,320 Speaker 1: he was a master sergeant in the Air Force and 1473 01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:13,840 Speaker 1: December the seventh, it was a Sunday, so he got 1474 01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,360 Speaker 1: up really early to go fishing in the harbor in 1475 01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,040 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor, and he had this little fishing boat, I 1476 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:25,639 Speaker 1: think it had a twenty five horsepower motor. And he's 1477 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:29,120 Speaker 1: out there in the harbor fishing and the sun's just 1478 01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:35,800 Speaker 1: coming up and he sees this formation of airplanes. He's 1479 01:36:35,840 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 1: telling the story to us, and we thought, gee, the 1480 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:44,000 Speaker 1: navy's up early this morning practicing. Well. Pretty soon they 1481 01:36:44,040 --> 01:36:48,760 Speaker 1: came started peeling off and started machine gunning right over him. 1482 01:36:49,439 --> 01:36:54,599 Speaker 1: And so he of course got the motor going fast, 1483 01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:57,840 Speaker 1: and rent got to the shore and got in his car, 1484 01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:02,200 Speaker 1: and of course we were in the housing on the base, 1485 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:05,040 Speaker 1: and our house was like one block from the fence 1486 01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:11,080 Speaker 1: that separated Pearl Harbor from Hickham Field. And he got 1487 01:37:11,120 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 1: in the car, came home and ran in the house 1488 01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:18,439 Speaker 1: and told my mother to get a box and put 1489 01:37:18,479 --> 01:37:22,679 Speaker 1: in some food and some clothes for the kids, and 1490 01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,160 Speaker 1: I want you to get up to the mountains. Well, 1491 01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:28,800 Speaker 1: just before he came, my mother had gone and looked 1492 01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:33,920 Speaker 1: out the bedroom window and she saw a torpedo coming 1493 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:37,559 Speaker 1: down on one of the ships in Pearl Harbor, and 1494 01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 1: she thought, oh my gosh, it's a war. We're at war. 1495 01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,000 Speaker 1: And then she came to get us kids, and my 1496 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:47,160 Speaker 1: little brother was outside. He had gone outside, I think 1497 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:50,160 Speaker 1: he was five years old, looking up in the sky 1498 01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:54,880 Speaker 1: at the airplanes, and the airplanes are shooting machine gunning, 1499 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:59,160 Speaker 1: and so she ran out and got him in the house, 1500 01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:02,360 Speaker 1: and then my dad came home, and she got the 1501 01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,040 Speaker 1: clothes and some food and drew it in the car. 1502 01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:10,600 Speaker 1: And then my dad told her that we needed to 1503 01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:14,400 Speaker 1: go to the mountains and to the house where our 1504 01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:18,120 Speaker 1: maid lived. We had a maid that worked for us 1505 01:38:18,160 --> 01:38:24,080 Speaker 1: once in a while and a Portuguese family, and he's 1506 01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:28,160 Speaker 1: He then slapped a gun in her hand and said, 1507 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:31,920 Speaker 1: and you use this if you have to imagine what 1508 01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:36,080 Speaker 1: was going through b Bazanski's mind at that moment. A 1509 01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:39,519 Speaker 1: young girl who had been growing up in Paradise in 1510 01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:43,080 Speaker 1: Hawaii with her younger brother, her mom, and her dad 1511 01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:46,519 Speaker 1: on a military base in military housing, and they wake 1512 01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:50,360 Speaker 1: up on December seventh, nineteen forty one, to the sound 1513 01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:54,519 Speaker 1: of bombs and machine guns. Her father in the service 1514 01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:58,360 Speaker 1: now running home to tell mom and the kids, you 1515 01:38:58,520 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 1: have to get out of here. And she sees Dad 1516 01:39:02,400 --> 01:39:05,880 Speaker 1: put a pistol in mom's hand and says, get to 1517 01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:11,400 Speaker 1: the mountains, take food and clothing and go. I'll let 1518 01:39:11,400 --> 01:39:16,479 Speaker 1: me continue telling her story. I still remember this, and 1519 01:39:16,560 --> 01:39:20,160 Speaker 1: so anyway, she took off. He said, I've got to 1520 01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:23,639 Speaker 1: go back to the hangars, because he was in charge 1521 01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:26,519 Speaker 1: in one of the hangars. He did maintenance on airplanes, okay, 1522 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:30,320 Speaker 1: and he was in charge of men to get the 1523 01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:36,040 Speaker 1: airplanes up to fight the Japanese. And so the closest 1524 01:39:36,080 --> 01:39:40,599 Speaker 1: he came to being killed that morning, he had gone 1525 01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:43,639 Speaker 1: to his hangar and there was one airplane that they 1526 01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:45,880 Speaker 1: hadn't gotten now the hangar yet, they still had to 1527 01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:48,799 Speaker 1: put wheels on it or something, and he had seven 1528 01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:51,599 Speaker 1: men working on it to get it up and out 1529 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:55,120 Speaker 1: of the hangar, and he turned around and went into 1530 01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:59,120 Speaker 1: his office and just then a bomb hit the middle 1531 01:39:59,160 --> 01:40:02,080 Speaker 1: of the hangar and killed all those men, and he 1532 01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:06,320 Speaker 1: was thrown under some lockers. So thank god, that was 1533 01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:09,000 Speaker 1: as close as he came to being killed that morning. 1534 01:40:09,640 --> 01:40:14,120 Speaker 1: But then as we left our house to turn the 1535 01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:17,080 Speaker 1: corner to go out the gate of Hickamfield, we looked 1536 01:40:17,160 --> 01:40:21,439 Speaker 1: back and we could see the air strip where the 1537 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:25,479 Speaker 1: planes should be taking off, but they weren't. They were 1538 01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:29,559 Speaker 1: all on fire because the Japanese had strafed them and 1539 01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:33,519 Speaker 1: bombed them, and it was just fire all the way 1540 01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:37,680 Speaker 1: down the runway. So anyway, we left and got up 1541 01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 1: in the mountains and found the house where our maid lived. 1542 01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:48,080 Speaker 1: And it was a very small house. It was four rooms, 1543 01:40:48,160 --> 01:40:51,400 Speaker 1: as I remember, just four rooms, just four rooms, and 1544 01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:55,479 Speaker 1: the family gave us the dining room and a mattress 1545 01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:59,639 Speaker 1: to go underneath the dining room table, and that's where 1546 01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:05,080 Speaker 1: we slept for two weeks. B Bazansky sharing a story 1547 01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:09,840 Speaker 1: with her family, a story they never told for seventy 1548 01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:15,440 Speaker 1: seven years. It's an amazing tale from a young American perspective. 1549 01:41:16,080 --> 01:41:21,120 Speaker 1: Now seventy seven years later, there's more from b. Bazansky. 1550 01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:24,680 Speaker 1: We have to go into what happened next and the 1551 01:41:24,760 --> 01:41:28,240 Speaker 1: harrowing journey that the family had to take when they 1552 01:41:28,240 --> 01:41:31,559 Speaker 1: were finally allowed to be part of the civilians who 1553 01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:35,520 Speaker 1: were taken off Hawaii and brought back to the mainland 1554 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:41,000 Speaker 1: in a twenty vessel group of ships that had to 1555 01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:45,600 Speaker 1: travel with fears of submarine attacks from the Japanese. The 1556 01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:51,000 Speaker 1: convoy of twenty American battled ships that took Bee and 1557 01:41:51,200 --> 01:41:55,360 Speaker 1: her mom and her brother back to America. We'll get 1558 01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:59,120 Speaker 1: into the rest of the story. A Pearl Harbor memory 1559 01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:03,040 Speaker 1: that just came to the surface. That's next on the 1560 01:42:03,040 --> 01:42:07,320 Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show. Michael Pelka in for my friend Buck 1561 01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,080 Speaker 1: Sexton here on the Buck Sexton Show. On this Pearl 1562 01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:15,400 Speaker 1: Harbor Day, my buddy's aunt b Bazansky surprised the whole 1563 01:42:15,479 --> 01:42:20,160 Speaker 1: family when she told them in fact, she was at 1564 01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:24,000 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor. Well, it was different. I mean, the Japanese 1565 01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,240 Speaker 1: had just bombed Pearl Harbor and like we were right there. 1566 01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:30,519 Speaker 1: Nobody knew that when aunt By told that story over 1567 01:42:30,520 --> 01:42:35,600 Speaker 1: the holiday dinner Thanksgiving, so we let aunt By continue. 1568 01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,639 Speaker 1: We went. We traveled quite a while to get up there, 1569 01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,120 Speaker 1: but we had to stay there for the two weeks 1570 01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:45,840 Speaker 1: because they told us we would not be allowed back 1571 01:42:45,880 --> 01:42:51,680 Speaker 1: on Hickenfield until they built some air raid shelters and 1572 01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:56,640 Speaker 1: issued gas masks, and because there was a rumor that 1573 01:42:56,680 --> 01:42:59,679 Speaker 1: the Japanese were going to gas us and also poisoned 1574 01:42:59,720 --> 01:43:04,439 Speaker 1: the water. Really yeah, so we had to boil water 1575 01:43:05,040 --> 01:43:09,080 Speaker 1: from that time on. And after two weeks we did 1576 01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:14,640 Speaker 1: go back to the base and we were issued that 1577 01:43:14,960 --> 01:43:19,160 Speaker 1: the gas masks, even the children were, and we had 1578 01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:22,519 Speaker 1: air raids practice in the night, so I remember that 1579 01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:25,080 Speaker 1: it was really scary. The irons would go off and 1580 01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:28,799 Speaker 1: we have to put our housecoat on and run across 1581 01:43:28,840 --> 01:43:32,320 Speaker 1: the street and get into a bomb shelter, which is 1582 01:43:32,400 --> 01:43:34,479 Speaker 1: you know, a dugout dirt and then they put dirt 1583 01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:40,120 Speaker 1: on top and make its underground, underground in your housecoat, 1584 01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:44,639 Speaker 1: with air raid practice. I can't imagine being a young 1585 01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:49,080 Speaker 1: child and experiencing this. But Aunt B, my buddy's aunt B, 1586 01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,840 Speaker 1: was just amazing. The story continues, and we haven't even 1587 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:58,440 Speaker 1: gotten to their ultimate escape from Hawaii back to the mainland. 1588 01:43:58,600 --> 01:44:03,080 Speaker 1: First we have to get from December seventh through Christmas. Well, 1589 01:44:04,360 --> 01:44:09,519 Speaker 1: they appointed people to be like watchmen on the streets 1590 01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:12,519 Speaker 1: and in the house from the house house to house 1591 01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:16,040 Speaker 1: because at night we had to black out. We couldn't 1592 01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:20,360 Speaker 1: have anything any lights showing, so they put cardboard and 1593 01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:24,840 Speaker 1: stuff over the windows because they were really fearful that 1594 01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:29,120 Speaker 1: the Japanese were going to come back. And there were big, 1595 01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:32,400 Speaker 1: big holes in the roads. I remember that, so you 1596 01:44:32,400 --> 01:44:35,400 Speaker 1: couldn't really travel, even up in the mountains. There were 1597 01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:39,080 Speaker 1: holes in the streets where they had Japanese had bombed. 1598 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:44,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know how my mother was staying in 1599 01:44:44,200 --> 01:44:47,320 Speaker 1: touch with my dad, but once in a while they connected. Yeah, 1600 01:44:47,400 --> 01:44:50,200 Speaker 1: because he couldn't leave the base. Did he give her 1601 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,360 Speaker 1: information on what was happening? Was he able to tell 1602 01:44:53,400 --> 01:44:56,880 Speaker 1: her the conditions on the ground before you came back? Yeah, 1603 01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,920 Speaker 1: I mean he was telling everything was destroyed and so much. 1604 01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:02,920 Speaker 1: So many people were killed. The men that were in 1605 01:45:02,920 --> 01:45:06,519 Speaker 1: the barracks were killed, and you know amongst the whole 1606 01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:10,760 Speaker 1: barracks of people were killed and they were sleeping, you know, 1607 01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:16,360 Speaker 1: Sunday morning. Sunday morning, December seventh, nineteen forty one. The 1608 01:45:16,479 --> 01:45:21,400 Speaker 1: words from b Bazanski, a young American at the time, 1609 01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:26,719 Speaker 1: now in her eighties, recounting her personal experience and eye 1610 01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:30,759 Speaker 1: witnessed to Pearl Harbor. And like I said, this tiny 1611 01:45:30,840 --> 01:45:35,560 Speaker 1: family was trying to have a Christmas, trying to recreate 1612 01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:39,960 Speaker 1: a normal life. But life and Pearl Harbor and ultimately 1613 01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,800 Speaker 1: back in America was anything but normal. You're just apprehensive 1614 01:45:43,880 --> 01:45:47,280 Speaker 1: all the time. You know, there's fear everywhere because the 1615 01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:50,360 Speaker 1: rumors were flying that the Japanese were coming back and 1616 01:45:50,400 --> 01:45:53,439 Speaker 1: we were going to get bombed again. But then we 1617 01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:59,720 Speaker 1: tried to have a normal life. And I remember going 1618 01:45:59,760 --> 01:46:05,679 Speaker 1: to school probably just for about three weeks, because these 1619 01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:12,919 Speaker 1: had started to transport the dependence off of the islands 1620 01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:16,240 Speaker 1: as fast as they could to get them back to 1621 01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:20,160 Speaker 1: the mainland. I remember we had to carry our gas 1622 01:46:20,200 --> 01:46:25,680 Speaker 1: masks on our shoulder when we went to school. And 1623 01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:27,680 Speaker 1: then we came home. I mean, we just that we 1624 01:46:27,800 --> 01:46:32,559 Speaker 1: tried to have a normal life. Christmas came, there were 1625 01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:36,000 Speaker 1: no Christmas trees to be had, of course, so we 1626 01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:39,080 Speaker 1: made one out of the gray paper. We cut it 1627 01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,880 Speaker 1: out in the shape of a tree and Scotch taped 1628 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,000 Speaker 1: it up to the wall. That was our Christmas tree. 1629 01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,840 Speaker 1: And then by then they had started camouflaging all of 1630 01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:52,200 Speaker 1: the things on the base on Hickham Field, like the tower. 1631 01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:55,320 Speaker 1: It was all different colors, you know, for camouflaging. And 1632 01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,680 Speaker 1: they had a they did have a Christmas party for 1633 01:46:59,720 --> 01:47:03,800 Speaker 1: the children on the base, and I remember getting a 1634 01:47:03,840 --> 01:47:08,320 Speaker 1: little storybook doll and the boys got little airplanes. And 1635 01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:13,639 Speaker 1: that's about all we got for Christmas. Because we were packing, 1636 01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 1: getting ready to leave, hoping that we'd be on the 1637 01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:22,120 Speaker 1: next ship out, you know. Well actually it was February 1638 01:47:22,360 --> 01:47:27,280 Speaker 1: before we left, and they told us we were the 1639 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:32,559 Speaker 1: last ships of dependence, that we're leaving, the last ships 1640 01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:37,800 Speaker 1: of dependence, leaving Pearl Harbor, the words again of b. Bazanski. 1641 01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:43,520 Speaker 1: And it was a big convoy the Navy ships transports, battleships. 1642 01:47:44,040 --> 01:47:47,240 Speaker 1: We had two destroyers in our convoy. It was about 1643 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:52,080 Speaker 1: twenty ships. And on our way back to San Francisco, 1644 01:47:53,280 --> 01:47:55,320 Speaker 1: we had to zig zag all the way back, so 1645 01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:58,040 Speaker 1: it took a long time to get there, and we 1646 01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:02,240 Speaker 1: had a few very scary nights of when they thought 1647 01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:07,240 Speaker 1: they had submarines sided and we'd have to go to 1648 01:48:07,439 --> 01:48:11,920 Speaker 1: our lifeboat stations in the dark, and it was pitch 1649 01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:15,240 Speaker 1: black because they couldn't have any lights showing on the 1650 01:48:15,280 --> 01:48:19,679 Speaker 1: ships because then the submarines would know there's the ship 1651 01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:23,840 Speaker 1: torpedo it. I can't imagine having this memory and not 1652 01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:28,480 Speaker 1: talking about it for seventy seven years. How she closed 1653 01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:32,240 Speaker 1: this discussion, though, gave me the biggest chills of all. 1654 01:48:32,800 --> 01:48:39,040 Speaker 1: My thoughts today are sorrowful because I see America doesn't 1655 01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:46,440 Speaker 1: love America people. They don't they're not patriotic, they're selfish, 1656 01:48:46,840 --> 01:48:49,639 Speaker 1: and they don't have the same values that we used 1657 01:48:49,680 --> 01:48:53,840 Speaker 1: to have. I mean, we were through that when we 1658 01:48:53,960 --> 01:49:00,320 Speaker 1: came back from Pearl Harbor. We were raising he has 1659 01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:06,040 Speaker 1: children would get our wagons and gather scrap metal for 1660 01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:10,040 Speaker 1: to make you know, they were gathering metal for ammunition 1661 01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:15,080 Speaker 1: or making airplanes or whatever it was. But everybody was patriotic. 1662 01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:20,960 Speaker 1: I mean we were rationed our food, sugar and tires 1663 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:24,639 Speaker 1: and everything was rationed back in during the war. But 1664 01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:29,600 Speaker 1: we were happy that we could participate in that way 1665 01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:33,760 Speaker 1: to keep America free and right now people don't understand 1666 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:36,200 Speaker 1: that for some reason, I guess you have to go 1667 01:49:36,240 --> 01:49:40,240 Speaker 1: through blood and guts and war to understand that we 1668 01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:44,360 Speaker 1: live in a great country and they don't appreciate it. 1669 01:49:44,439 --> 01:49:47,880 Speaker 1: And it breaks my heart.
