Speaker 1: all of it, then you can keep your plan. If

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: you are satisfied with Trump is not to be president

11
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. I was going to wait for a formal

12
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: signing sometime in early January, But then I watched the

13
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: news this morning and they were all saying, will he

14
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: keep his promise? Will he signed it by Christmas? You

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: were one, but will he signed it by Christmas? And

16
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: I called downstairs. I said, get it ready, we have

17
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: to sign it now. We're gonna wait till January seventh

18
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: or eighth and do a big formal ceremony. But every

19
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: one of the networks was saying, will he keep his promise?

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: Will he sign it? As you know, three point two

21
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: trillion dollars and tax cuts for American families, including the

22
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: doubling of the standard deduction and the doubling of the

23
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: child tax credit. The typical family for earning seventy five

24
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, we see an income tax cut of more

25
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: than two thousand dollars. Many much higher than that, slashing

26
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: their tax bill in half. And they're gonna start to

27
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: see that because we're signing today. They're gonna start to

28
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: see that in February. The Buck Sexton here, Team Mary Christmas,

Speaker 1: a lot of phone calls from Team Buck today. How

32
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: about that? Eight four, eight to five. It is now

33
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: the law. The President has signed it. The tax cuts,

34
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: the sweeping one point five trillion dollar tax cut is law. Now.

35
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: The President got it done. Give give Trump and his

36
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: White House credit. Give the Republican Congress credit. They got

37
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: this done. So it's year one and something substantial goes

38
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: up on the score board, so to speak. A note here,

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm where I think we're gonna take the show today because,

40
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,960

00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: news of the day I want to get I want

Speaker 1: on San Francisco. We will address that, updates on the

44
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: active evil. They're not yet calling it a terror attack.

45
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: We'll see in Australia that just happened last forty eight

46
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: hours involving an Afghan refugee. I have updates for you

47
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: on that, and clearly we'll talk a bit about the

48
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: tax bill and some other news stories from today, and

49
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,359

51
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: We've got a guest joining us to talk about a

52
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Pentagon program. It's got a lot of attention I think

53
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: was last week when The New York Times wrote a

54
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: piece on the Pentagon spending two million dollars to look

55
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: into UFOs. We've got the guy that the New York

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: Times was writing about from the Pentagon to join us

57
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: to talk about that. So those of you who are

58
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280

00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: communities can talk to you about Star Trek technologies that

66
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: are being made real right now. So we're just gonna

Speaker 1: it's it's a a Smorgan sport, you know. It's We've

Speaker 1: family feast this year. So that's the plan for the show.

98
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from as many of you as

99
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: we can get in over the course of the show.

100
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 1: That We've got some guests booked as well. I've got

101
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: some people were gonna be talking to and some news

102
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: to get to. Like I said, tax cuts have been

103
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: made real, the President got it through. The President managed

104
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: to get the tax cuts that he had said we're coming,

105
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: and I I was skeptical, right, I was rooting for

106
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: the best in our Congress, but prepared for the worst

107
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: in terms of disappointment. And they have. Sure enough, sure enough,

108
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: they are um bringing their coming through right in time

109
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: for Christmas, which is going to be really helpful, I

110
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: think for the mid terms, and Democrats are going to

111
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: have to come up with something other than Trump Russia collusion.

112
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: I think I just checked in before I came on

113
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 1: air because I was curious. I want to see, so

114
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: it's Christmas time, you know, over at the Huffington's post

115
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 1: over at huff PO. I mean it probably got like

116
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: a Christmas tree on the front page and spreading holiday year. Nope, Nope,

117
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: it's more hysteria about Trump firing Muller, despite the fact

118
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: that I think I've seen every senior administration figure that

119
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: could be asked about it last week has been asked,

120
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: including Trump himself, and said that it's not gonna happen.

121
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: There will be no firing. For those who are who

122
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: are curious though about the trajectory of politics within the GOP,

123
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: and it does seem like there is going to be

124
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: a fight between the establishment within the GOP and the

125
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: ben a nite wing of the GOP. You have a

126
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: pretty open challenge now from Steve Bannon. He gave his

127
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: interview in Vanity Fair. I was surprised that he said

128
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: what he said in that interview, and especially in the

129
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: aftermath of the Roy Moore situation, which is without question

130
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: a big black eye for the GOP. I mean, it

131
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: is not It is not a good thing that they

132
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: lost that sentence seat right, and Bannon played a role

133
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: in all that. We got that fight too, anticipate look

134
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: forward to. I don't know, you tell me McConnell versus Bennon.

135
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. I know Bannon has got

136
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: a lot of bluster, and he's he's kind of a

137
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: he's he's a puncher, you know, he's a rhetorical pugilist.

138
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: But that McConnell fellow is cag in his own way.

139
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: He's he's got some he's got some of his own

140
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: tricks up the sleeve. We're gonna be supporting people who

141
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: can actually win. Um, how many of contests will be

142
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: between well funded people who are sure losers and people

143
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: who can win It's hard to predict because recruiting season

144
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: is not over. But we've got some great candidates out

145
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 1: there and you're familiar with them. Martha, Max Shaley, Josh Holly.

146
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: We hope to land a few more in the coming weeks,

147
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: and um, I think we're going to be very competitive.

148
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: So because tax reform went through today and it's a

149
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: big Christmas gift, It's like it's like Uncle Trump just

150
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: wrapped up two thousand dollars and handed it to every

151
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: American middle class family under the Christmas tree or either

152
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: manorro or in their nondenominationally uh designed and attired living room,

153
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: you know whatever. Right, I mean, there's two thousand dollars

154
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: coming through every family in America in the middle class

155
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: right now. And that's a pretty compelling talking point. I

156
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: have been I've been somewhat amazed at how much the

157
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: media has been able to convince people that they don't

158
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: want more of their own money. Uh. There was even

159
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: a piece, I think it was NBC where they were

160
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: walking through the numbers with some individuals who fall into

161
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: the fifty to a hundred. Right when we're talking middle class,

162
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: it's usually forty or fifty to a hundred k is

163
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: what's broadly termed the middle I know some of you

164
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: if depends on what part of the country in right.

165
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in uh, some parts of the Midwest,

166
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: hundred k is you know, way beyond middle class. But

167
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: if you're in New York City, Uh, fort k is

168
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: not considered middle class, right, It depends on where you

169
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: are San Francisco forty k is you know, try buying

170
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: a house if you earn forty k yere in Palo Alto.

171
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: So it depends on where you are. Uh. But people

172
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: are finding out more about this and they're liking it more.

173
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: And I think there's a sense within the GOP that's

174
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a big And that's why you already have

175
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: some setting of the table with the mid terms now,

176
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: becauseen is gonna be a lot about the mid term

177
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: elections from go uh, we're gonna see the the big

178
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: open question for me in terms of the fortunes of

179
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: the Congress, right, because Trump's not up for re election yet.

180
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: But in terms of those who are running Congress, well,

181
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: obviously I mentioned the GOP civil war, such as it is,

182
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 1: or maybe it's just a GOP intramural dispute however you

183
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: want to however you want to frame it. All right,

184
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: we got every Linelet I know you want to talk,

185
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stop laboring on here in a second.

186
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: But immigration, does the GOP actually show some does Trump

187
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: push them to show some spine on the issue of immigration?

188
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: Does a wall start getting built? Do they do they

189
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: follow through on the promises that Trump made during his campaign.

190
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: That's so many Republican members of Congress tacked onto for

191
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: their own purposes of getting either elected or reelected. Maybe,

192
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: if if I had to guess, GOP is gonna try

193
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: to punt on that. But we'll see, you know, they

194
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: came through with this. They may be uh, you know,

195
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: maybe feeling it a little bit, you know, maybe a

196
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: little bit of swagger with h. McConnell's like fer swagger.

197
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: I'm ruder to go. Who wants for fro? Who wants

198
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: a piece? M McConnell, who wants a piece? Eight four

199
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: or four nine? Hunder two eight two five? Let's rack

200
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: and stack those calls, action movie quotes, Christmas thoughts, tax

201
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: code analysis, whatever you want. Team, it's your show today,

202
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: What's always your show. But we're gonna get as many

203
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: of you, and as we can, I'll be right back.

204
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's Christmas, and we got the sound of

205
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: some sweet Christmas synthesizers everybody this way. We might even

206
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: get some Kenny G with the clarinet coming your way

207
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: for some Christmas flavor. Kenny G. Taylor and Utah, save

208
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: me from myself. What's up, Taylor? I wish you a

209
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. Also wanted to say

210
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: every time I start talking politics as someone I tell

211
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: him I generally vote Republican because they screw things up

212
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: slower than the Democrats. Both man, I'm excited. We're we

213
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: might actually be getting something done. Yeah no, they looked

214
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: at the g he has done something, and we need

215
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: to call the balls and strikes of what the Congress

216
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: is doing. And I think that this is clearly Ah,

217
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: this is a strike or I guess, assuming we're on

218
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: the batting team, right. So this is a good thing,

219
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: and I'm happy. I think this is the way to

220
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: do it. So it's not a perfect tax bill, it's

221
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: a good tax bill. You know, it's maybe a B plus,

222
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 1: but a B plus that affects the whole economy is

223
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: a pretty darn good thing, assuming it works as planned,

224
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: and I think it will well, a B plus is

225
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: better than nothing. I mean, we've been getting nothing from

226
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: him for a long time, so I'm excited hopefully that

227
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: that leads us into a good two thousand eighteen. I'm

228
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: gonna send two thousand seventeen off, you know, by going

229
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: out shooting some guns, shooting our cannon, you know, having

230
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: a good time. Wait, are you actually have a cannon?

231
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: Because I remember I asked about this while I go

232
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: on the show. Are you you have your own cannon? Yeah?

233
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: We uh, I sent you a picture and we uh

234
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: we thought you were the guy who sent me the

235
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: photo of the cannon. What's I tell everybody about it?

236
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: What's it like? Yes, sir, oh, it's a right. You know.

237
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: You load it with the louke at a gun powder,

238
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: you shoot that sucker off and goes whistling out, you know,

239
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: eight hundred yards you know, jump on the horse, go

240
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: out and pick up the bowling balls. A riot, Absolutely right.

241
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: So next time you're out in Utah, man, we'll get

242
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the cannon loads up, we'll shoot it. He have some

243
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: good barbecue, just have an all around good time out

244
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: and fantastic Taylor, Merry Christmas and shields tie to you man,

245
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: I love it. Thank you, sir, Um come out, come

246
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: out to Utah, shoot the cannon all like that should

247
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: be like a slogan for the Utah Board of Advertising

248
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: or Board of Tourism. Jake in North Carolina, Hello, my friend,

249
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: do sir help me? I hate you speaker. That's okay, Uh,

250
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: guess her ahead. I would just like a good explanation

251
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: of the repeal of the mandate And is there any

252
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: kind of retrock attachment like we should have to pay

253
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: like two years that we've arguments kind of deal. And

254
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: another thing, I don't I hear anything about anyone trying

255
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: to stop the hospitals from overcharging and charging too much

256
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: and things like that, because I've had an accident and

257
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: center to foot and they did seventeen thousand dollars worth

258
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: it supplies just on the automized bill. And then I

259
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: challenged him. I told him I could buy all this

260
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: stuff at uh CBS and ACE for two hundred and

261
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: eleven dollars and they turned around to come my bill

262
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: and half. Well, first of all, good good for you

263
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: and good on you for for challenging hospital bills, because

264
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: that's very important for people to do, especially when you're

265
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: talking about supplies, because hospitals will gouge you. They're just

266
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: used to it. They'll just gouge and gouge. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So,

267
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't see that. Are the congressman?

268
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: Everybody just kind of missing that picture there. Well, let

269
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: me let's say this for one, I'd be profen. I mean,

270
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: I hear you, I hear you. The So a few

271
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: things man. One is that individual mandate repeal is only

272
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: one part of the whole Obamacare picture. Obamacare has not

273
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: been repealed, so we need to all be very clear

274
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: on that, and the individual mandate being repealed just means that.

275
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, we don't know. We don't. People

276
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: keep saying twelve million people will lose their insurance whatever,

277
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: that's Actually that might not be the case. We'll see,

278
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: but it'll be an excellent market test to see if

279
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: people want to actually participate in these exchanges or they

280
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: would rather go without insurance if they didn't have to

281
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: pay the penalty. It also will cause for a faster collapse,

282
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: I believe, of the exchanges, because you'll have younger, healthier

283
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: people that don't want to be in the exchange because

284
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: I know it's a bad deal for them. And we've

285
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: also got the people that are under the seventy five

286
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: or a hundred thousand dollar range. I'm within thirty five

287
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollar range and has three children, and it was

288
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: easier just to take them into the hospital and pay

289
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: it out right than it was any insurance whatsoever. And

290
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: it almost you know, made us leave our home. Yeah. Well, look, Jake,

291
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I think that the the the GOP has not reformed Obamacare,

292
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: has not changed the healthcare system yet. That has not happened. Right.

293
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: The removal of the individual mandate could be a very

294
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: important beach head in that whole process. But we got

295
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: a long way to go, my friend. Look, I I

296
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: wish you and yours a merry Christmas, and I appreciate

297
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: you calling in UM twenty eight team, and we're gonna

298
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: be talking about healthcare. I mentioned immigration before the break.

299
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: I think Jake is a is a good indicator here

300
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: as well. There's still a lot to be done on healthcare,

301
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: and the GOP dropped the ball on healthcare this year,

302
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: no question about it. And what he's talking about with

303
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: crazy pricing at hospitals and all that. That's all too real.

304
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: It is a big problem, and we need to get

305
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: to a more market based system. But that's you know,

306
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: saying we're gonna get to a market based system is

307
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: saying you want to score touchdown when you're actually playing

308
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: defense on your own five yard line. You know what

309
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean? This, that's a long that's a long and

310
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: heavy lift from where we are right now. So we are,

311
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: we're working on it, and we will come back to

312
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: healthcare in some more. Although if you have any other

313
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: questions on the show about it right now, we can

314
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: certainly get to that. Uh We've got some spots that

315
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: have opened up because we've taken some calls. So do

316
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: give a ring, even if you just want to say

317
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to uh me and uh and tying Amy

318
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: here in the hut. We when we come back. I

319
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: just wanted to maybe get into some of the aftermath

320
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: of the Nicky Haley u N SmackDown yesterday, which I

321
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: very much enjoyed. Amazing to see some folks the dishonesty

322
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: that they deploy when it comes to any opportunity to

323
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: attack a person affiliated with the Trump administration, somebody who

324
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: is just ti to Trump, they will change their positions

325
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: and try to try to take down the White House

326
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: a peg just by being nasty in the press. Oh

327
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: that's right, morning, Joe. We're coming. We're coming for your

328
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: commentary after this break. Uh and oh, I have I

329
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 1: mentioned the the terror attack in the averted pardon me,

330
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: the disrupted terror attack on San Francisco. Its supposed to

331
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: take place on Monday, FBI stepped in there. We'll talk

332
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: about that next hour. And we have some more information

333
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: about the motivation in Las Vegas shooting that will be

334
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: coming up in a bit too. So we're gonna bouncing

335
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: around a lot of topics here. Like I said, it's

336
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: a freedom hunt Christmas spectacular and a lot of your

337
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: calls and commentary will help drive where we are going,

338
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: So stick with the team. I'll be right back. We have,

339
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: of course, the individual mandate, which is a very unfair

340
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: and very unpopular provision as you know in Obamacare. Essentially,

341
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: I think it ultimately leads to the end of Obamacare.

342
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: It's essentially I think Obamacare is is over because of that,

343
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna come up with something that's really go

344
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: ahead to be very good. But the individual mandate was

345
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: very unfair because you're basically saying, pay for some thing

346
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: in order not to have to get health care. So

347
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: you're paying, you're paying not to have to have healthcare.

348
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: It was very unfair. So there you have the President

349
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: talking about exactly what the previous caller was asking about,

350
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 1: which is what happens now with healthcare. Does the repeal

351
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,679
Speaker 1: of the individual mandate mean that Obamacare is going away?

352
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: And as I've been telling you, it's it's a think

353
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: of it, like they've punched a hole in the outer

354
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: wall of Obamacare. But it's still going to be quite

355
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: a fight once they breached the wall and storm the

356
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 1: keep or whatever. You know, it's gonna be. There's a

357
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: lot because Democrats are gonna say that Trump sabotaged it

358
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: and so any of the disruption and economic pain, and

359
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: and they're gonna, oh my, they're gonna have people, you know,

360
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: one after another, the most sympathetic cases they can find

361
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: of people, you know, and and with neck braces on

362
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: and oh gosh, I couldn't see my doctor because the

363
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: exchange crumbled. And you know, they're gonna play that whole game,

364
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: and they'll do it well. And Republicans better get their

365
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: act together because a lot of people are just gonna say, look,

366
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: you guys didn't reform healthcare. You've got a majority in

367
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: the House, in the Senate, and now things are getting

368
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: really bad really quickly in the exchanges. You better have

369
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: a solution to this and not just be you know,

370
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 1: you can't just light a fire. You gotta be burning

371
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: down the old of the house and saying, hey, no, no,

372
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: it's okay, We're moving you all into this brand new mansion.

373
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: You know. It can't be just like, look at how

374
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: bad this is. Yeah, stinks, doesn't it. I'm just you know,

375
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: keeping a reel here, everybody. It's not gonna be as

376
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: easy as just the exchanges are become toxic and collapse

377
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: and everyone's like yeay Trump and yeah Republicans not gonna

378
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: happen that way. It's gonna be a long fight. Jason

Speaker 1: you could get him on your show and have an

388

411
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,679

00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: Blaze Radio Network. Hey Tony, hey buck shield Time. Merry Christmas, Shields, hie,

413
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: and Merry Christmas to you. So I got a few questions.

414
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: A little background on me. I my parents immigrated in

415
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: the eighties from Portugal. They're they're U S citizens now,

416
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: my first generation here in America. And I see all

417
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: this going back and forth with the DOCTA, and I

418
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: believe it was like eleven million they're saying that are

419
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: illegal in the country. Why don't they just try to

420
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: make some kind of program where that not the people

421
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: that are here illegallygalleven million, no chance of citizenship, but

422
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: some kind of residence card where they pay some kind

423
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: of backfine for the amount of time that they've been here,

424
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: so that it helps our economy and who's tax revenue

425
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: and all that, and give them some kind of ID cards.

426
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we give them a free free

427
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: ride to to stay, but some kind of fine or

428
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: something along those lines, so that it's a little bit

429
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: it's easier for us and we benefit from them. Yeah,

430
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: they benefit from that, Tony. There's a there's a lot.

431
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: There's a lot to unpack here. I would say, for first,

432
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: this is what was initially being proposed by the what

433
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: the Gang of eight, uh, the senators including Marco Rubio,

434
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: which as a policy matter, was probably more responsible for

435
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: him not getting far in the primary than any other

436
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: single vote that or not vote, but any other single

437
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: issue that he had taken a stance on. And here

438
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: here the problems Tony, with just going because because I

439
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: understand right, there's a you have a basic impulse a

440
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: lot of us students to say, look, people that are here,

441
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: that are contributing and that want to stay, can we

442
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: find a way to make this work for everybody? I

443
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: think I would know that if the border was actually

444
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: secure and there was a wall and there were some

445
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: other pieces in place that that is a discussion that

446
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: a lot of Americans are willing to have. But let

447
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: me just say this. The problems that immediately come up

448
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: with it are that, for example, if somebody comes and

449
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 1: they are allowed to stay permanently, are they allowed to

450
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,199
Speaker 1: sponsor family members through chain migration to come into the country.

451
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: Are they how big is the fine that they're supposed

452
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: to pay? When we talk back taxes, understand that most

453
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: people who are legal immigrants in the country don't make

454
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,719
Speaker 1: enough money that they would be paying taxes, and they

455
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: would in fact be getting a check from the government,

456
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: so they would be getting paid to be here based

457
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: on a tax situation. And in terms of a fine,

458
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,959
Speaker 1: what's a fine? You know? And by the way, if

459
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: they can't pay the fine, then what happens? Do they

460
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: get kicked out of the country? I mean, the devil

461
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: is in the details, especially with immigration issues and going

462
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: to a a pathway to legalization, which was what was

463
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 1: always being talked about. So there's and I'm just beginning

464
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: to touch all the complexes here. Then there's also the

465
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 1: you are rewarding people that skipped to the frontal line

466
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: and broke US law with staying here permanently which is

467
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: the whole reason that people came here. Right. Citizenship is great,

468
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: but really the difference between a permanent resident and a

469
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: citizen in this country is voting, and there are a

470
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: lot of Americans who are citizens who don't even vote.

471
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: The great thing about being here in terms of a

472
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: benefit situation is being here. So that's where Tony, I

473
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 1: think a lot of the problems would be. I'm I'm

474
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: I'm sympathetic to the arguments that we need to find

475
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: ways to help people, but I also will rule a

476
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: law guy. So it's a big discussion, and I can

477
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: promise you that a team we will spend a lot

478
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: of time here on this show talking about immigration. Thank

479
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: you so much for your call, my friend, Shields high,

480
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: and have a very merry Christmas. Uh, Larry, I don't

481
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: know Ohio on w M A N What up, Larry? Hello? Mark,

482
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: enjoy your show? Hey Larry, do you and all the

483
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: people in New York? Since this text bill is uh

484
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: been passed and it's small now and if it uh

485
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: does what the GOP says that it will do as

486
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 1: far as business is growing, the economy's so forth, and

487
00:27:53,960 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: so what do you think the Democrat um es l

488
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: say counter Major's going to be in two thousand and eighteen.

489
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: Uh for the mid term. They are gonna run on

490
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: an unrepentant class warfare platform. I think they're going to

491
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: say that this was all about corporations and that it

492
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: doesn't really benefit the middle class. They're going to say

493
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: that the repeal this is what Democrats will say that

494
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: the repeal of the individual mandate is causing, Whether true

495
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: or not, they'll say it is causing a huge spike

496
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: in healthcare premiums in the exchanges and in the individual

497
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: market that will have wiped out whatever benefits Republicans get

498
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: for our people get rather from the Republican tax cuts.

499
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: They're also going to say that Trump is a racist

500
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: to big At, a misogynist, and a Russia colluding trader

501
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: and should be impeached. So that will be I think

502
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: the oh and and DOCCA, and they'll they'll pick the

503
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: most sympathetic parts of the immigration issue to try to

504
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: paint the GOP and Trump specifically as ray sys, out

505
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: of touch and unwilling to do what they will say

506
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: as best for the American people, which is a you know,

507
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 1: a pathway to citizenship and also broader legalization for more

508
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: and more people to come or broader avenues for more

509
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 1: and more people to come into the country and get

510
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 1: jobs here. So that's I mean, you know, the Democrats

511
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: should probably hire me. I'm like scary good at making

512
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: their arguments for them, but I also think that they're

513
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: destroying the country. Yeah, that's the best thing can come

514
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: up with that the Trumps or races that they should

515
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 1: be impeached. That's for the base larity. So so what

516
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: I just outlined for you, I'm sorry, I didn't mean

517
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: to talk over you. What I just outlined for you, though,

518
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: is a multi pronged approach, and it's all about having

519
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: appealed to different constituencies. So what the Democrats will say

520
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: on healthcare and on taxes in the economy, that's to

521
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 1: try to win over undecided and persuadables and states like

522
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 1: yours of Ohio where there will be some tight congressional

523
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: races or elsewhere in the country where it's not a

524
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: sure thing that Trump is a ray syst Russia collusion

525
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: stuff that's based turnout, So that's in very blue states.

526
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: And also with the apparatus the Democratic Party has the media,

527
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: all these different organizations that get involved in turnout. That's too,

528
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: that's red meat for the base to make sure that

529
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: turnout is high and that the left, the progressive left,

530
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: is engaged in this mid terms in a in a

531
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: as much a way, as big away as possible. So

532
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: there you have. It is going to be over with.

533
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: I hope you're right, man, but we'll have to see Larry.

534
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: But have a very merry Christmas, my friend. Thank you

535
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: for all of your very insightful and thoughtful calls over

536
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: the course of the year. I do appreciate it. I'll

537
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: note interesting, everyone today wants it's it's like almost Christmas,

538
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to talk policy. So far, I didn't

539
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: think I've gotten a single action movie quote, which is fine.

540
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm happy to talk policy all the time. But if

541
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: you wanted to just sort of see if you could

542
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: stump the action movie quote master before Oh oh you've

543
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: got one, No, no, no, I was like, Tyrone wants

544
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: to bring it. I actually have some ready. But the

545
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: compromise on docket has been floated, it's been it's out

546
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: there is they can stay not citizenship, end up chain migration,

547
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: and that's the compromise that they think they're actually gonna

548
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: come to the people can stay because I'm not going

549
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: to support them all. No chain migration, that's the compromise,

550
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: and children of those who can stay. No, no, no, no,

551
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't I understand what I'm saying that do we do?

552
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: We haven't. Where is this compromise coming from. No, that's

553
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: been out there, like Pelosi was talking about it. And

554
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 1: I think there's kind of people on both sides who

555
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: are kind of that's the starting point where they say,

556
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: how about this? And then that's what the negotiations and

557
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: see that. The problem is that once you create the illegalization,

558
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: the initial legalization, it means that there's a greater constituency,

559
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: a greater contingent of the country that would want further

560
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: legalizations for the rest right. No chain migration is just

561
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: a function of what the Congress decides in any given year.

562
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: So what what becomes just oh, it's see the the

563
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: template for this would be Reagan's amnesty back in the

564
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: eighties when it was it's only gonna be for a

565
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 1: couple of million people, and they're gonna pay all these

566
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 1: back taxes and fines and we're gonna shut down the

567
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: border and this is never gonna happen again, and the

568
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: reality was, oh, and there were all these different you

569
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: have to speak English and you have to and there

570
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: was no actual enforcement of any of the complicated pathway provisions.

571
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: You just had mass legalization, a few million people the border,

572
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: got no additional lockdown, no additional provisions, and you had

573
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: millions and millions more legals come in. So there there's

574
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: what the policy is on paper, and then there's a

575
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: way it's enacted in reality. And I think that there's

576
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: very little trust that there would be an end to

577
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: chain migration because that, yeah, that would be until the

578
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: Democrats have the Congress, and that's say yeah, we don't

579
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: like that provision. And now you'd have a whole lot

580
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: of people that if you change the law, and by

581
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: the way, if you also offered them a pathway to citizenship,

582
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: that's just an act of Congress. So once you go,

583
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 1: once you go that people aren't illegal, the step from

584
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: making people not illegal, two citizens and bring it in

585
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: their family and now have an unsingable Democrat majority in

586
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: the country is very quick. But eight four four to five.

587
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: If you want to give me an action movie quote

588
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: or anything else that's on your mind, Marry Christmas to

589
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: all of you, In case you haven't heard me say

590
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: that already, we'll be back in just a few alright,

591
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: seem welcome back. We're gonna have to take kind of

592
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: a bit of a hard turn from the Christmas music there.

593
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: I've told time the team, we're gonna have some Christmas

594
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: music going throughout the show, but we're also gonna be

595
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: talking about some news stories, and that means that there's

596
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: going to be some intense stuff that we get into today.

597
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: I promised third hour. I don't think we're doing anything intense.

598
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: Uh So if you stay around for that, it will

599
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: be lighter, fair and a lot of the second hour

600
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,239
Speaker 1: as well. But I don't want to update you that.

601
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: The on two things, two stories that we've talked about

602
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: here recently. One is the trained around with the Amtrak

603
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: train out in Washington State. From what I'm seeing today,

604
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: that thirty mile per hour curve never supposed to be there.

605
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: So this was a new track. And essentially here here's

606
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 1: The New York Post is reporting on an eleven billion

607
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: dollar Washington State government plan to speed up passenger and

608
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: freight rail service throughout the Pacific Northwest. Called for an

609
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: elimination of the turn, but that request was not included

610
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: in the final design once the state won federal funding

611
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: for the Point Defiance Railroad bypass. According to The Wall

612
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: Street Journal earlier today, the plan was ditched because the

613
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: turning question was deemed too costly to remove, citing documents

614
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: and state officials. Oh boy, so they were supposed to

615
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: get rid of it and they didn't. And uh, it

616
00:34:54,600 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: looks like this would fall under not not train engineer error,

617
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: but engineering error, as in construction of the tracks and

618
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: decisions made at a higher level. And that's and when

619
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 1: you think about it, would given that this was the

620
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: first time it ever went on this route and this happened,

621
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: it makes sense that it was the tracks fault and

622
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:20,240
Speaker 1: not train operator error, right, because if it's the track,

623
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna runt to a problem the very first time. Once.

624
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: This is like when I work you through the numbers

625
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: on and probabilities of a terrorist incident. Well, here, think

626
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: about the probability that the first time they've ever run

627
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: the train on the tracks. What's the likeliest. What's the

628
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: likeliest thing is that there's a structural problem here with

629
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: either the speeds posted or the tracks itself. Or the

630
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: train itself was shouldn't have been used at all. User

631
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: error on the very first time that this ever happened

632
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: seems less likely under the circumstances. One more so, that's

633
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: the latest on the Washington trained a Roman. And then

634
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: one more thing. I've been telling you that I'm waiting

635
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: to at greater clarity about the shooting in Las Vegas.

636
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: We all are waiting to get later greater clarity about

637
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 1: what the motive was for that shooting. Five people hit.

638
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: The corners office released. It's grizzly the details. I won't

639
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: share them now. I know we're about to go into

640
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: the Christmas weekend and everything, but it's out there if

641
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: you want to see or if you want to read

642
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: that the details of how how much of a mass

643
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,959
Speaker 1: casualty attack this was, and who was hit and it's

644
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,040
Speaker 1: it makes for tough reading. But fifty eight people were

645
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: killed in Las Vegas. We still don't know the motive

646
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: and what we've been told. According to the FBI office

647
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, it may take until next October for

648
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: them to release information on the motive. They have gone

649
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: through twenty two thousand hours of surveillance and cell phone

650
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: footage two hundred and fifty thousand photos that they still

651
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: have to look over. They have forty terabytes of data

652
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: running the Las Vegas shooting, and so they're gonna go

653
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 1: through it all and they say it will take them

654
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: probably until next fall before they have an official FBI

655
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: report on whatever we can describe as the motive for

656
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas mash shooting. Ah. I don't know what

657
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: to say other than given how long it's gonna take

658
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: and all that information, I think that in the end,

659
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: they're not even gonna really have an answer. That's my

660
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: that's my guess. They're gonna have some basic ideas, but

661
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: they're gonna go through all that and we're gonna wait

662
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 1: a year and they're still not gonna have an answer.

663
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: We'll be right back, nay. Welcome back to the Freedom

664
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: Hunt Christmas Spectacular. Buck Sexton here with you eight four

665
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: to five, taking calls as we can as they come

666
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: in throughout the show. Thank you so much for your

667
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: calls in the last hour and great to have you

668
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,840
Speaker 1: with me now in this one. So just a reminder

669
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: of the road map here. It's actually movie quote Friday.

670
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: That means that action movie quote. Challenges are in effect.

671
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: And also we're gonna talk in the next hour about

672
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: UFOs with somebody who worked on UFOs at the Pentagon,

673
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: because that's a thing that actually happened, which we can

674
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: give you some details about. We will also discuss some

675
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: technologies that Star Trek made seem realistic and now are

676
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,880
Speaker 1: being made real just in time for Christmas. You know,

677
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 1: maybe you can get some of it on Amazon. And

678
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: then uh, some Team Bucks speaks and some some closing

679
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: thoughts in for all of you wonderful listeners here on

680
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: the show. Also later this hour, we'll talk about a

681
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: terrorist attack foiled in San Francisco by the FBI that

682
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: targeted the San Francisco Pier thirty nine. It was allegedly

683
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: to involve assault rifles and explosives and a vehicle uh

684
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: and perhaps a vehicle attack as part of the rest

685
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: of the carnage that's been thwarted. There's no known active

686
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: threat against San Francisco right now. And will also tell

687
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: you about an update on the Australia vehicle attack just

688
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: happened in Melbourne in the last forty eight hours and

689
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: the media is playing games with it, which I'm sure

690
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: is not surprising to any of you playing games the

691
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: way they discuss and describe what happened in Australia. So

692
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: yesterday you had Nicky Haley's biggest moment yet at the

693
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: U n when there was that UN vote to nine

694
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: criticizing the US decision to move its embassy to the

695
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:42,920
Speaker 1: capital of Israel. Tells you a lot that won so

696
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: many There are so many cowards and feckless nations that

697
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: are part of the United Nations. That's no surprise, really,

698
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: but it's a reminder. But also to see some of

699
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: the commentary about this has been pretty astonishing here. I

700
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: make fun of the Morning Joe Show sometimes because it's

701
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: not a not a good show so uh, and I

702
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 1: don't know if that's not I'm not in the Christmas

703
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 1: spirit with that comment that I apologize for that, but

704
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's a good show. I think

705
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: that it's very smug and self serving and self uh,

706
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: self referential and really self indulgent or the hosts and

707
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: even some of their frequent guests. And there's a nastiness,

708
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: a smugness to much of the commentary that goes on there.

709
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: But Morning Joe decided to get up eate with Haley

710
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: because of what happened at the U n And here

711
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: is what Joe Scarborough had to say about it. Hey Joe,

712
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: when did we become the bad guys? But when you know,

713
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm listening to that speech yesterday and obviously Brennan's sweet,

714
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, wait, no, that's the bad guys talking.

715
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: Bad guys talk the way. We're not gonna give you

716
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 1: eight if you just don't blindly agree with us, and

717
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: we'll cut you off. It's breadth taking that she would

718
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: actually threaten to hut off aid and support and humanitarian aid.

719
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 1: Those dollars are strategic to to allow the United States

720
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: to continue to have soft power across the globe. And you, you,

721
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: you just aren't smart. Jessicar Row has no idea who's

722
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: talking about, by the way, doesn't know anything about international relations,

723
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: doesn't know anything about how the United Nations functions, doesn't

724
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: understand international aid, and is just trashing a person tied

725
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 1: to Trump. That's all that is the notion that Nikki

726
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: Haley can't tell people in a forum like the United Nations,

727
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: can't tell the assembled representatives of the General Assembly, Hey,

728
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: you guys can remember they're they're condemning a US action

729
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: that they have no business condemning it is. It is

730
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: actually not their business where we put our embassy. This

731
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: is not up to them, This is not this would

732
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: be like them condemning. And this doesn't surprising, right, the

733
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: outcome of a US election that has an impact on

734
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: the whole world too. But it's none of their darn

735
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: business they condemn us. We are the single biggest financial

736
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 1: donor to the United Nations. We give the United Nations

737
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: this building to operate in and provide all of its

738
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: security here in New York City. And she's not allowed

739
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:20,719
Speaker 1: to say, she's what, well, what are we supposed to

740
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: be a dormat? We're supposed to sit there and just

741
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: take this, you know, only turn around and be thankful

742
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: that our friends like Palau, Micronesia and uh Tonga have

743
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: our back. No. I think it's perfectly fair. And Honduras, right, yeah,

744
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: Honduras represent uh. I think it's completely fair, and I

745
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: think it was well stated and well done when Nicki

746
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: Haley just called them out and said, you know what,

747
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but we will remember this. That doesn't mean

748
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: we're going to take food out of the mouths of

749
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: starving children in the Southern Sudan. Right, it doesn't mean that.

750
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: It wasn't even a specific threat. It was just okay,

751
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna do this. We will remember this

752
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: in the future. Are we allowed to tell that to

753
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, the French, to the Brits, to other countries.

754
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 1: They got plenty of money. They could write a lot

755
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 1: bigger checks. To the United Nations, they can carry much

756
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: bigger load. Oh, do they not care about starving children?

757
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: Do they not care about the problems of the world.

758
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: You know, look at all the the poisonous ideology that

759
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: the Saudias have exported all over the planet, all the

760
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,480
Speaker 1: destruction that the terrible beliefs from within the Saudi Kingdom,

761
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: all the destruction that that has uh created around the world.

762
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 1: Maybe they should be paying some additional freight at the

763
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: U n Why why do we have to do this?

764
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 1: We're talking about debt and devasits. I know there's this

765
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: very smart people are to drop in the bucket. You

766
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,879
Speaker 1: have to drop in the bucket. But so somebody else

767
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 1: can put the drop in the bucket. I just I

768
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: think it's such an interesting exercise. In one this is

769
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: all about Trump de range in syndrome. Right, So Nicki

770
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: Haley does something at the u N that's pro American,

771
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: that stands up for our interest and is also standing

772
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: up for Israel, and you get all these commentators condemning

773
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: her because they're really just trying to condemn Trump. They

774
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: don't care what it is, right. I mean, we we

775
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: could be we could tell Israel that we're working on

776
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: a strategic ice cream parlor project with them, and the

777
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: you know, the u N could condemn it, and all

778
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 1: these different journalists MSNBC Morning Morning, Joe and all the

779
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: rest of them would be saying, you know, how dare

780
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: they know other countries need ice cream too? This is preposterous.

781
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: It's really not about because when I don't it sounds silly,

782
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: But think about we're talking to the embassy move it's

783
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: the building, and all we're saying is that we're not

784
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: going to play this weird game where we pretend like

785
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel, because it is.

786
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: It is. You know the Arab States and fifty years

787
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 1: have some army and they think they you know, they

788
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: come sweeping in and destroy Israel as many in Hamas

789
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 1: and other places do. Well, then I guess yeah, wouldn't

790
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: be the capital anymore, but it is the capital, so

791
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 1: they can live in this fantasy land of how in

792
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: the future maybe it won't be. But that also tells

793
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 1: us a lot about the lack of good faith with

794
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 1: which many of the Arab states, in particular the Palestinian people,

795
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: approach any peace negotiation. Right Why is it so problematic

796
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: for them for Israel to be That doesn't mean that

797
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: Palestinians will be blocked from Jerusalem forever and in the future.

798
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that part of I mean, people don't even

799
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: like the term East Jerusalem because they say that it's

800
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: not The notion of it as a divided city is

801
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:37,759
Speaker 1: not even accurate. But the eastern part of Jerusalem could

802
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: be involved in a future Palestinian state. Maybe I don't know.

803
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: But right now, Jerusale's capital of Israel. So they need

804
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: to just deal with it. Forcing the Arab states in

805
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 1: particular to deal with reality, I think is a very

806
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: constructive thing, because they feed poison and delusions to their

807
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: own people in the West bank of the Gaza Strip,

808
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 1: and as well as across the broader Middle East and

809
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: the Muslim world, and in Europe, where there is a

810
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: tremendous amount of anti Semitism still as I know, as

811
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: as befuddling as that is right, You think that Europe

812
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: would have learned its lessons about anti Semitism, but there's

813
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: still a lot of anti Semitism there, and yet you've

814
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: got MSNBC having interviews like like this one. Well, the

815
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: reason that Israel says that the u N is anti

816
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: Israel's because Israel is opposed to international law. It doesn't

817
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: want to see international law upheld. They want to see

818
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,720
Speaker 1: international law violated so that they can continue to build

819
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:42,720
Speaker 1: and expand settlements, so that they can continue to steal

820
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: Palestinian land, and the world community is saying very clearly

821
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:49,879
Speaker 1: that Jerusalem is not Israel's capital. This is why I'm

822
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 1: hoping that because there is no peace process, that the

823
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: Palestinian authorities shifts strategies completely and begins to try to

824
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: hold Israel accountable, not just through u N resolutions, but

825
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: things that are much more concrete and substantive, such as

826
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: imposing sanctions on Israel, such as taking Israel before the

827
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 1: International Criminal things that will actually change reality on the ground.

828
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: I mean, think about how hostile that woman Diana Bhutto,

829
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 1: who was an advisor to Palestinian leader Mahmuda Bass, Israel's

830
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 1: Israel's the country that needs to be taken in front

831
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: of the i c S, the International Criminal Court sanctions

832
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: against Israel, as though Israel's like North Korea or Iran

833
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: or Syria. These people are delusional and what they're saying

834
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: is evil. By the way, an MSNBC gives them a platform,

835
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:48,280
Speaker 1: CNN gives them a platform. John Brennan, former CIA director,

836
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: an embarrassment to my former organization, my former employer, an

837
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 1: embarrassment to my brothers and sisters in the agency who

838
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: still stay all on and do good work day in

839
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: and day out. John Brennan tweeted out. Trump even threat

840
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: to retaliate against nations that exercise sovereign right in U

841
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: n to oppose US position on Jerusalem is beyond outrageous

842
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:22,960
Speaker 1: shows real Donald Trump expects blind loyalty and subservience from everyone,

843
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 1: qualities usually found in narcissistic, vengeful autocrats. That got like

844
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: thirty thousand retweets from John Brennan, Formacy I director, former

845
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 1: senior terrorism advisor to of course, President Obama. Guy's a

846
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: joke and a clown and a partisan, a dishonest actor

847
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: at the most senior levels of the government previously, and

848
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: is a is a blight on the record of the

849
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: agency that this guy was the director. It's it's really

850
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: it's a shame. And I've known all along that he's

851
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 1: a hyperpartisan guy. I've been hearing it both from inside

852
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: and outside the building. I'm quite aware of it. But

853
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: this is just beyond the pale autocrat, narcissistic, vengeful Nicky

854
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: Haley's like, you guys are spitting in our face. We're

855
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: America or the United States. We don't like this, and

856
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 1: we're gonna remember it. What's she's supposed to say, spit

857
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: on our face? Again? No spitting in the United States

858
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: is face without consequence. That was the Obama policy. That

859
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 1: was how Obama wanted his people to approach it. You know,

860
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: just take it some other country slaps us. Is probably

861
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: our fault. You know, the Nations wants to mock us

862
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: or undermine us. We deserve it. We had eight years

863
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: of that, and you know what, the world wasn't any safer.

864
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: The Jihadas didn't stop trying to blow us up. In fact,

865
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: they got worse. They were emboldened. So, like I've said

866
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: to you many times, before say what you will about

867
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,760
Speaker 1: Trump and this and that and the rhetoric in the tone.

868
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 1: At least he understands where this country fits in with

869
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the world. That we are. Yeah, we're

870
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 1: not trying to be pompous about it, but we are

871
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: the top dog. We do a tremendous amount of good

872
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: and we would like a little bit of appreciation, a

873
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 1: little respect for America would be nice. All Right, We're

874
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna run and take some calls right after this break. Well,

875
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 1: we'll kind of come back into a little bit more

876
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: of the Christmas spirit, hopfully with some of these calls,

877
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: because I've got a little fired up there. But the

878
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: Brennan tweet really like a lump of like a lump

879
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: of coal in my Stocking'll be right back. Indeed, we

880
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: do wish you all a merry Christmas, and we've got

881
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: every limelet in the hunt. Let's get to it. Mitch

882
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: in California on the Blaze Radio. What's up, Mitch, Hey Funk,

883
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: how you doing. I'm a retired marine out in southern California,

884
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: and uh, I have a question. And then I'd like

885
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: to just throw something out there real quick. Sure I've

886
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: heard that, Um, you know, there's a strong possibility that

887
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: the Congress could turn back to the Democrats in the

888
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:07,800
Speaker 1: mid term elections. What can the Republicans do specifically, uh,

889
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: to you know, prevent that from happening? Number one, and

890
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 1: then number two? Right along with that, I'm just sick

891
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,319
Speaker 1: and tired over the years and how it's reported all

892
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: the time, how the Republicans have such a poor messaging

893
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 1: platform and there's so many smart people that can that

894
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 1: are out there that can help them with that. Why

895
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 1: don't they do something about it? So if you could

896
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: address that, that would be great. Sure, Thank you for

897
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: your service, Mitch. Uh And I would say on the likelihood,

898
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: you know, any prediction right now is gonna be overtaken

899
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: by events within a month or two, right, So it's

900
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: not I really couldn't say, because it depends on how

901
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: does how does the Mueller investigation go with Trump? Does

902
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: it go away entirely? Does it have some you know,

903
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,399
Speaker 1: are there are a few big bombshells left? We got

904
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,239
Speaker 1: to see with that? And also what do Republicans decide

905
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: to focus on in the new year. Is it going

906
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,799
Speaker 1: to be infrastructure and a bipartisan approach, or is it

907
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: going to be immigration, healthcare, and what they promised the base,

908
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: and they're the GOP faithful, that's gonna be a so

909
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: I'd have to take you down through a kind of

910
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: decision tree or war gaming, completely different pathways. I think

911
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,759
Speaker 1: that that Trump may decide that infrastructure is the way

912
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: to go, which means a lot of spending and trying

913
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: to do something bipartisan, and I don't I don't know

914
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: how that shakes out. If they focus on immigration and

915
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: healthcare and try to get stuff done there, well, then

916
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,279
Speaker 1: I think they might be in good shape. But uh,

917
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: and then what was I forgot was the second question? Yeah,

918
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, the whole issue about you know, the Republicans

919
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: have such poor messaging. I don't think it's really that

920
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: they have poor messaging so much as their microphones are

921
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: limited in comparison to their Democrat counterparts. They don't have

922
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 1: a huge media apparatus. Look, they have Fox News, they

923
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: have Talk radio, you know, some websites, but that's really it.

924
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean with Democrats, I could sit here and just

925
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: rattle off thirty websites off the top of my head

926
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: that get millions and millions of uniques every month. ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, NPR.

927
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,800
Speaker 1: You know, you go down the list and you're like,

928
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:22,640
Speaker 1: it's they've got a lot of megaphones. So uh, that's

929
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: the difference I think in terms of messaging. Um and

930
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: also they could use little work on messaging. But Mitch,

931
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: have a great merry Christmas, and thank you so much

932
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:35,359

00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: one better. Here's a billion dollars move your headquarters to

958
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 1: ho Chi minh City. Uh okay, I mean that would

959
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:14,799
Speaker 1: be an idea. I'm not sure we'll get very far,

960
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 1: but I like where your heads at, Ed. You're getting creative,

961
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,160

962
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: mean we're just like, hey, this is like a real

963
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,120

965
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:34,279
Speaker 1: merry Christmas, Ed shields hie, and thank you for calling in.

Speaker 1: San Francisco and also the an update on that attack.

971
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: We don't yet know if it's terror, but it's trending

972
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: that way in in Australia. I'll give you some updates

973
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 1: on that. And then I'm gonna talk to you a

974
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: little bit about Christmas his three uh quickly, you know,

975
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: not a deep diver, a a stocking stuffer is worth

00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: of Christmas history. And then we'll talk to Amy and

00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna have on a guy to talk about Star

983
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: guy who was studying UFOs for the Pentagon. I think

984
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna find that really interesting. And then I have

985
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: a message that I want to share with all of you,

986
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: which is, of course Merry Christmas, but a little more

991
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: be back with you in just a few You are

992
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: now entering the Freedom Technical Operations Center. All sensitive programs

993
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: mustny keV strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared

994
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:06,320
Speaker 1: and ready to the Buckbrief. A thwarted attack on Pier

995
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: thirty nine in San Francisco, that is the headline today.

996
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: The FBI, through undercover work and some uh timely counter

997
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: terrorism operations, prevented an individual from engaging in what the

998
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: FBI claims was going to be a Christmas Day attack

999
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: on a major tourist attraction and gathering site in San Francisco.

1000
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: They used undercovers. This is a pretty standard from what

1001
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: I've read about it so far operation for the Bureau

1002
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: with regard to how it breaks up either lone wolf

1003
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: plots or cells. They probably made contact online first, although

1004
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: we don't know that yet. And this individual was expressing

1005
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 1: to people that he believed to be ge hottists that

1006
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: he wanted to use his in his vehicle provided by

1007
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: his company to help them in their terror attack. So

1008
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: there it looks to me like this is going to

1009
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: be one of these cases where they get him on

1010
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: material support. They're going to get him on material support

1011
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 1: to a terrorist group. This was a guy from Modesto.

1012
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: He's actually we were shortly in the Marine Corps, Everett

1013
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Jamieson, but was kicked out for lying to get

1014
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: into the Marine Corps. But he did have training with firearms,

1015
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: and he had been posting pro Isis and pro terrorism content,

1016
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: according to US sources out in the California area. And

1017
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: he also posted a gift of a group of people

1018
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: giving a standing ovation to an article discussing the Halloween

1019
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 1: terror attack here in New York City where there was

1020
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: a vehicle attack in downtown man Hattant, so clearly expressing

1021
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: ideological sympathy for the Islamic state and alignment with it.

1022
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: We'll have to see if they're able to make the

1023
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: charges stick. I did note that in the charging document

1024
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 1: it says that this man Everett Jamison, and I would

1025
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 1: wonder if that if sometimes when someone radicalizes they take

1026
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: a different name, they take a kunya. I'm not sure

1027
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: if he will do that or not here, but it

1028
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: or if he did that or not. But I would

1029
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: just note that, Uh, this is exactly what I've been

1030
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: concerned about, and we've seen this big surge of ISIS

1031
00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: propaganda of of posters specifically citing the Vatican Times Square

1032
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 1: here in New York City and exhorting lone wolves. In fact,

1033
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: they've gone out of creating graphics with an individual who

1034
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: looks like a very high speed terrorists with a timber

1035
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: wolf next to him to try and to try and

1036
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: create imagery around all this, right, so now they're really

1037
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: going for the lone wolf idea and pushing it out

1038
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 1: there online. A lot of us it's like, well this

1039
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: is just these are just iss fanboy cartoons. But some

1040
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 1: individuals who have radicalized this maybe all that they need.

1041
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: By the way, Kunya, I mentioned this before. Is is

1042
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:34,960
Speaker 1: a component of an Arabic name. Uh. It's often one

1043
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: or nickname, but someone will take. So you know, if

1044
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: someone if he became like al Amriki the American right,

1045
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: that would be his, that would be his Kunya. So

1046
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: for those who are wondering what that means with regard

1047
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: to gee hottest investigations and terrorism, there you have it. Uh.

1048
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: And so that happened. We're looking closely at security measures

1049
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: here in Times Square, which is very close to him

1050
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: doing the show right now. And there's also a follow

1051
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: up to what I talked to you about yesterday with

1052
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: regard to Australia. Somehow, I'm not surprised to be sitting

1053
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,800
Speaker 1: here telling you that yesterday all the media outlets were

1054
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: jumping on the headline Australian police say no connection to terrorism.

1055
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: Now that's a true statement, but it's a misleading statement

1056
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: because what they really meant was we don't know of

1057
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: a connection to terrorism. That's different than there is no

1058
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: connection to terrorism. Because today the Australian papers, and I

1059
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:39,040
Speaker 1: would note that the international news media seems way less

1060
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: interested in this story. This was a vehicle attack, numerous

1061
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: people wounded, over a dozen people wounded. I don't believe

1062
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: anybody killed, but a lot of people had to be

1063
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:52,040
Speaker 1: rushed the hospital, all hit by cars. The car was totaled,

1064
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 1: hit by a car this guy was driving. And yesterday

1065
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,080
Speaker 1: it was no connection terrorism. The guy has that is

1066
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: what the police were saying. And the guy has a

1067
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,640
Speaker 1: history of mental illness, has a history of drug use,

1068
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 1: so he's just crazy. That's what they were telling us

1069
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: today and much more muted reports from the news media.

1070
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: We are being told that he was quote muttering about

1071
01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 1: the mistreatment of Muslims when police pulled him out of

1072
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: his wrecked vehicle after he had mowed down a bunch

1073
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 1: of people in Melbourne. Now, at some point, when is

1074
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,800
Speaker 1: the coincidence a little bit too much? At some point,

1075
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 1: when is it too obvious to ignore that here you

1076
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: have a refugee from Afghanistan during the holidays, in a

1077
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: major Western power that has a target of jihadists, Australia,

1078
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: and in their most important city, in the most congested

1079
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: one of the most congested parts of the city. This

1080
01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: would be this is like the equivalent of their Broadway

1081
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: or Times Square more down a whole bunch of people.

1082
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 1: And when he's pulled out of the car, he's muttering

1083
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: about the mistreatment of Muslims. But he did this because

1084
01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: he has a drug problem. You know, we can accept

1085
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: that analysis if we want to, But I have to

1086
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: tell you I have a feeling next week there will

1087
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 1: be something about how this individual from his guarded prison

1088
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 1: bed or garden, a guarded hospital bed, uh will will

1089
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: be saying something along the lines of you know, I

1090
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: did this for ISIS, or this is because of the

1091
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Australian complicity in the air campaigns and in in a

1092
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: in a rock and Afghanistan, And I mean the Aussies

1093
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: have been stalwart, among the very most stalwart allies that

1094
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: we have had in what is called the global war

1095
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: on terror. So here we are. You will note if

1096
01:03:50,920 --> 01:03:52,439
Speaker 1: you go back yesterday and listen to what I said,

1097
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: I didn't get ahead of things. I just was walking

1098
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: you through the percentages what is likely to be the

1099
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 1: case here, what is likely to be the truth based

1100
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: on what we know? And somehow here I am today

1101
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and it seems a whole lot. I told you it

1102
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: was likely that this was at least done in part

1103
01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: because of Gee hottest inspiration. And here we are today

1104
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: with a pretty important data point. Right when you mowed

1105
01:04:15,880 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: out a bunch of people and tried to kill them

1106
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 1: all with your car, which is the preferred tactic of

1107
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 1: lone wolves acting on behalf of the Islamic state, and

1108
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you happen to be a refugee from Afghanistan in a

1109
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: country where that accounts for less than one percent of

1110
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: the population, and you happen to say I did this

1111
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 1: because of the treatment of Muslims by countries like Australia.

1112
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Do we think maybe there's a political motive for this

1113
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 1: violence because it doesn't even have to be ISIS affiliated

1114
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: for it to be terrorism. It doesn't even have to

1115
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:49,240
Speaker 1: be on behalf of ISIS. It could just be a

1116
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: gee hottest inclination or ideological alignment with the global jihad.

1117
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Anyone who goes out and kills random people because of

1118
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: the perceived mistreatment of Muslims around the world is aligning

1119
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: himself or herself with a key tenet of Jehoti is Um.

1120
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 1: So I've laid this all out for you, and I

1121
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: would just note that much less interest today than in

1122
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:18,520
Speaker 1: this story yesterday, and I have a feeling next week

1123
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 1: we might get more information. I won't get to update

1124
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: you with this then, but in the new year I

1125
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: will return to this story as we get more information

1126
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: that they'll just be They're not going to come out

1127
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: and say, oh, yes, ISIS inspired attack. I'm not. I

1128
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 1: think that's unlikely. But there'll be additional data points that

1129
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: will be released quietly in news stories that are follow

1130
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: ups about this that will more or less indicate exactly

1131
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: what I thought all along, which is that this guy

1132
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: thought that he was acting out on behalf of the uma,

1133
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: the Islamic community, and that he was a jihadi. They

1134
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 1: won't call it that, but we'll see it in the

1135
01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: information that they released. It will be buried five or

1136
01:05:55,600 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 1: six paragraphs down. This is how Western media whitewash is terrorism.

1137
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:05,479
Speaker 1: If if in fact that's what happens, maybe they find

1138
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: out that the guy just you know, drank a couple

1139
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,959
Speaker 1: of bottles of jamison and took some klanaz a pam

1140
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: and just you know, just and just lost it. That's possible,

1141
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 1: highly highly unlikely, though, I think we'll see that this

1142
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: is a step by step guide in essence to how

1143
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: even over the holidays, when we know there's an increased threat,

1144
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: we know the Islamic State has been telling anybody who's

1145
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: just favorable to Isis, you don't have to talk to me,

1146
01:06:31,640 --> 01:06:33,439
Speaker 1: you have to do anything. You just want to want

1147
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,439
Speaker 1: to help Isis is their message, go kill a bunch

1148
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: of innocent people. That's the message they are putting out there.

1149
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: But we are to ignore this for reasons of political correctness.

1150
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: All Right, we come back and we're gonna get into

1151
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: the third hour. We're gonna lighten things up quite a bit,

1152
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: so stay with me, all right. So we are midway

1153
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:56,200
Speaker 1: through the show here and just thinking about the Christmas

1154
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: holiday coming up, what we're gonna be doing. And I

1155
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 1: think I had mentioned that we would talk a bit

1156
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 1: about the real history of Santa Claus. Here's all. Here's

1157
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: all you really have to know is that Santa Claus

1158
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: is a well, it comes from Center Class, which is Dutch,

1159
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: and we think that the European tradition of having a

1160
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: celebration that used St. Nicholas came to us via the

1161
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Dutch to the New World, and that's how Center Claus

1162
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: became Santa Claus. And Center Claus, of course is a

1163
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: that's their way of saying St. Nick. That was what

1164
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:39,680
Speaker 1: they were calling St. Nick in Holland in the eighteenth century.

1165
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: So the original Santa Claus goes back all the way

1166
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: to around the late third century a d near Myra,

1167
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: which is in what is today Turkey what would have

1168
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: been at the time Asia Minor often forgotten, and not

1169
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: to make this a cross versus crescent segment, but what

1170
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: we now think of as Turkey. Lot of those city

1171
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: names they pop up and people like, oh wait, why,

1172
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: why are all these apostles hanging out in these places

1173
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: that where where are they exactly? Oh yeah, that's right.

1174
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: They're in what is now the modern Near East, the

1175
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: edge of the eastern Mediterranean basin and Egypt North Africa.

1176
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,560
Speaker 1: You look at some of the letters from the apostles

1177
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: and you look at the cities, you go, wait, where

1178
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,719
Speaker 1: are they now? Oh yeah, that's right. What was the

1179
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Byzantine Christian Empire. So that's why totally unsurprising that in

1180
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:39,520
Speaker 1: two eighty or so a d. You had the ascendance

1181
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: of this St. Nicholas because it was an entirely Christian area.

1182
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: Because what is all now the Near East, Turkey, all

1183
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 1: of Jordan's, all of Syria and Lebanon and Egypt. These

1184
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: were Christian areas. Somehow that gets lost in all this

1185
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,479
Speaker 1: discussion about everything. Where's the is he going to go? Well,

1186
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 1: if we're really going to talk about giving back land,

1187
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: But I digress. So anyway, let's talk about happy Santa stuff.

1188
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 1: So Santa Claus was St. Nick and he was known

1189
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 1: for he was a saint obviously, so you know, yeah,

1190
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:17,560
Speaker 1: he's a good guy and he goes around traveling the countryside,

1191
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:22,560
Speaker 1: he helps orphans and the sick, and he is believed

1192
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 1: to have saved a few sisters from being sold into

1193
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: slavery by providing them money so that they could get married,

1194
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: and his feast day was celebrated on the anniversary of

1195
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 1: his death, which was December six. With the spread of Christianity,

1196
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 1: you have the merger of some pagan traditions in Europe,

1197
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 1: including bringing in the Yule remember Yule tied cheer. This

1198
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:53,280
Speaker 1: was in northern Europe and Scandinavia. Right around the time

1199
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: of the winter solstice. They would bring in the largest

1200
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: tree they could find and lighted on fire. This was

1201
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: something of a tradition. Now bringing in a very large

1202
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: tree now and letting on fire would be a bad idea,

1203
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 1: but putting a big electric electric powered star on top

1204
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: of your tree with a bunch of lights and hey

1205
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 1: Christmas cheer. Also evergreens and the notion of having an

1206
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: evergreen in your house. They believe this came from northern Europe.

1207
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: The idea was that the evergreen during the difficult winter

1208
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: snows could still survive, and so it was a reminder

1209
01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: of the spring to come. All pagan stuff right, Christmas trees,

1210
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:33,479
Speaker 1: pagan uh, the Yule log, pagan This comes from pre

1211
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: Christian Northern Europe. But once you want to spread your

1212
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:39,920
Speaker 1: tradition around, once you spread the gospel, guess what you

1213
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: gotta get the local folks engaged. And so it's like, hey,

1214
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: you like to bring in a tree, light it on fire,

1215
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: Let's do it for the baby Jesus. And this is

1216
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: kind of how you get This is a very short version.

1217
01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 1: It's almost sounding like a drunk history version of how

1218
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: we get the Christmas celebrations we have today. And not

1219
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: actually the case that the first Santa Claus in red

1220
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 1: and why was because of Coca Cola. It was used

1221
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 1: before that, uh in marketing, but Coca Cola certainly popularized

1222
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 1: it very dramatically. So here you have some Christmas history

1223
01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Tyroner and Amy. You guys, what are your Christmas Christmas

1224
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: plans and traditions and Christmas thoughts for the whole team?

1225
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 1: Um the forrest traditions. My wife and I always go

1226
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: to Princeton on Christmas Eve together. We've been married four years,

1227
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: but we've been together ten years. I think this will

1228
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: be our seven for eighth straight year going to Princeton,

1229
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: New Jersey, and we exchange our gifts on Christmas Eve

1230
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 1: because just like Thanksgiving, our Christmas is pretty busy. Grandmother's

1231
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: house from my side of the family, her parents house

1232
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: for the other side, and just kind of going and

1233
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,680
Speaker 1: going and going with family. But uh we I just

1234
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 1: really love it, you know, everything about Christmas. And I

1235
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: want to say, uh, Mary Christmas told the whole squad

1236
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 1: and all the listeners because they've been amazing, They've been

1237
01:11:56,200 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: amazingly kind of been amazingly supportive. But um it's this

1238
01:12:00,400 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 1: is my favorite holiday buy a lot, so I get

1239
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: kind of almost like emotional about it. I love it

1240
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:08,719
Speaker 1: so much too. Totally agree Amy Christmas time Amy style.

1241
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: What happens? Um, well, this Christmas is a little bit

1242
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: new for us. My folks just moved to Naples, Florida,

1243
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:15,559
Speaker 1: So instead of the snows up in Syracuse, it's going

1244
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: to be white sands. So no complaints on my end.

1245
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: I think they're going to be doing instead of a

1246
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: Christmas tree of palm tree, so they're feeling pretty festive Christmas.

1247
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 1: Christmas sunburn maybe something you have to watch out, Yes,

1248
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: pretty badly sounds that sounds like a good, good situation

1249
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: movies that you guys plan on either going to see

1250
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: in theaters or watching at home. I always watched National Lampoon.

1251
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. Okay, I'm gonna watch Scrooge with Miss Molly,

1252
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 1: I think either tonight or tomorrow. I already saw Star Wars,

1253
01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:47,760
Speaker 1: so I'm probably going to go see the All the

1254
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,920
Speaker 1: Money in the World. That's the movie where I think

1255
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 1: Spacey got cut out and then the guy to replaced

1256
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:54,559
Speaker 1: them as like nominated for all the awards. That's pretty amazing,

1257
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to seeing it now here. It's

1258
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a really good movie. And Amy, Um, we're

1259
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna see Star Wars as a family, so it'll be fun. Um.

1260
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: And we always watched the griz Walds, and not just

1261
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: like we watch like all five of what however many

1262
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 1: there is, we watch all of them like back to back.

1263
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 1: So I'm still looking to find a great a great

1264
01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: version classic version of a Christmas Carol. But I'm I

1265
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 1: think I'll see how Scrooge does. I saw a long

1266
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,000
Speaker 1: time and I don't really remember. And for those who

1267
01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: aren't so inclined to watch a Christmas movie over Christmas,

1268
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:26,559
Speaker 1: I would just note that I was asked earlier today

1269
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 1: by a buddy of mine on Twitter pastor, Uh, Pastor

1270
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,559
Speaker 1: Scott if you don't know him, Durrell Scott. And he said,

1271
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 1: my wife wants to watch zombie movies. One are the

1272
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: five best zombie movies. Here's what I had twenty eight

1273
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 1: days later, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead,

1274
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 1: Resident Evil, an army of Darkness. So if you if

1275
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: you agree or disagree with that, lit Tyrone's nodding. He

1276
01:13:51,040 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 1: thinks that's a that's a substantial, solid list. So those

1277
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: would be if you go in the opposite direction from like,

1278
01:13:57,680 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 1: you know, God bless us everyone. Do you want like

1279
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: our zombies and all that stuff. I just gave zombie

1280
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: movies to watch over the holiday, which you can check

1281
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: out too. And uh, of course there's always time for

1282
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: some action movies. And yes, indeed before and of you

1283
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 1: asked me again, just so we're all clear, die Hard

1284
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:17,360
Speaker 1: is a Christmas movie. We'll be right back, so, Team Buck.

1285
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: I don't know what your plans are for watching movies

1286
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: and TV shows over the holidays, but I'm guessing there's

1287
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,640
Speaker 1: a decent chance you might see something with aliens. You

1288
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: might even be watching a show that deals with UFOs.

1289
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,599
Speaker 1: But what about UFOs in real life? I don't know

1290
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: how many of you saw it, but The New York

1291
01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:40,559
Speaker 1: Times published an incredible expose of just a few days

1292
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 1: back called Glowing Auras and Black Money, the Pentagon's mysterious

1293
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: UFO program. It talked about a former Pentagon military intelligence

1294
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:55,760
Speaker 1: official named Luis Elizondo who confirmed the existence of a

1295
01:14:55,840 --> 01:15:01,600
Speaker 1: hidden government program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Ideaification Program

1296
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:06,839
Speaker 1: that investigated the existence of UFOs up until two thousand

1297
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,599
Speaker 1: and nine. This is some serious stuff, right well, we

1298
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: actually have Lou Alsamdo on the phone with us right now.

1299
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: He is the former Pentagon military intelligence official featured in

1300
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: that piece about the UFO program. At the United States

1301
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 1: military military is paying real money to look into Lou,

1302
01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: thank you so much for calling in. Yes, sir, thank

1303
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,840
Speaker 1: you for having me. All right, what should people know

1304
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,160
Speaker 1: about this program? Under twenty two million or so spent

1305
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: looking at what What were the phenomenon that you were

1306
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: looking into? Sure, well, we were looking at pretty much

1307
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: anything that we we we couldn't identify something that didn't

1308
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 1: fit the normal profile, whether it be aircraft or drones

1309
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: or missiles or anything like that. Mar mean, anything that

1310
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 1: could could potentially pose a threat to US national security.

1311
01:15:54,439 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 1: Now you left the program because of what what is

1312
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: said to be the mount seeing evidence and the lack

1313
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 1: of necessary resources to look at that evidence. To the

1314
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: degree you ten and are comfortable, Well, what can you

1315
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,640
Speaker 1: tell us about the things that you found or that

1316
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 1: the program uncovered that are certainly worthy of more inquiry

1317
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to unidentified flying objects? Sure, I think

1318
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:22,879
Speaker 1: it's important to know when we say, you know UFOs,

1319
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:25,679
Speaker 1: I will obviously there's a little bit of a stigma there.

1320
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: And you know, when we approached the topic of UFOs,

1321
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: we really looked at it from from the objective perspective

1322
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: of you know what, what is really a UFO, and

1323
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,720
Speaker 1: we realized we should determine very early on that it's

1324
01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: it's it's actually very subjective. It's not in concrete. So

1325
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:43,880
Speaker 1: I think we would all agree that if you were

1326
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,679
Speaker 1: flying a B seventeen sometime over the Pacific, maybe during

1327
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: World War two, over remote island, um, some of the

1328
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,320
Speaker 1: folks on that island who've never seen a plane before

1329
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: would look up and by definition, they would say that

1330
01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 1: is a UFO and unidentified flying object. Of course, us,

1331
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, we look back and we kind of scratch

1332
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 1: your head and say, well, that's just technology. But to

1333
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: the same regard, we we noticed a lot of things

1334
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,360
Speaker 1: while I was running the program that frankly don't fit

1335
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 1: any normal profile or any type of of of routine

1336
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: characteristic that you would might consider, you know, uh, in

1337
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: any in any way identifiable as an aircraft, um, whatever

1338
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: type of aircraft you're looking at. So we we approached

1339
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: this with with objectivity and applying to scientific method to

1340
01:17:33,439 --> 01:17:36,599
Speaker 1: determine what is it we're actually seeing, how does it operate,

1341
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: and how is it what are the physics required for

1342
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:44,080
Speaker 1: something to behave in this manner? What were some of

1343
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: the most puzzling incidents that your group and for everybody listening,

1344
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,959
Speaker 1: we're speaking in Lou Elizondo. He is the former Pentagon

1345
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:56,559
Speaker 1: military intelligence official that was featured in a recent New

1346
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 1: York Times piece about a Pentagon program looking into UFO

1347
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,400
Speaker 1: those We got the guy with us here right now, Lou,

1348
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:04,680
Speaker 1: what are some of the incidents described them to us

1349
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:07,639
Speaker 1: or tell us about some of the findings that have

1350
01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 1: not just piqued your curiosity but pushed you even further

1351
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: on this quest for the truth. Sure, well, intersection, as

1352
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: you can imagine, I had to be mindful into some

1353
01:18:19,479 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: of the specifics only because I still currently hold a

1354
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 1: security claim. I totally understand. I'm former CIA myself, so

1355
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: I totally get it. So that's why whatever you're comfortable,

1356
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: whatever has been published and you can tell us, right,

1357
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,640
Speaker 1: But what I can tell you, I think that's that's

1358
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,040
Speaker 1: probably what I find most compelling. That there are five

1359
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,639
Speaker 1: basic categories when we're looking at these things, and you're

1360
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 1: looking at and I've mentioned this before um to other folks,

1361
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:48,560
Speaker 1: but really the five I would consider exotic technology categories

1362
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 1: include extreme maneuverability UM, hypersonic velocities, so velocities that are

1363
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,719
Speaker 1: beyond supersonic, and and frankly, in some cases these things

1364
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: don't display any type of sonic boomer or shock wave,

1365
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 1: which is very interesting. UM, I would say low observe ability. Uh.

1366
01:19:07,320 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: And then I would also I would say positive lift. UM.

1367
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: You know a lot of folks like to use the

1368
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:15,679
Speaker 1: term anti gravity, and I'm I'm not gonna go quite

1369
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 1: that far because we don't really know really how it's

1370
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:23,800
Speaker 1: being done. UM. I think what's most compelling for us

1371
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,599
Speaker 1: is that if you were to compare it to anything

1372
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: we have in our inventory or anything that we think

1373
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:35,799
Speaker 1: other folks haven't their inventory. Um, nothing fits. And more importantly,

1374
01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: this has been going on for a while, so people

1375
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 1: say that as a Russian is a Chinese. Yeah, sure

1376
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: it could be. But you're looking at these things doing

1377
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 1: this not last week or last month, but but really

1378
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: ever since, we've been looking at it and it continues

1379
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: to do it. So um, I think it's very easy

1380
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 1: to simply just chalk it up and dismiss it as well,

1381
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:59,559
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a foreign capability. That's you know,

1382
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: they're and they're operating in our a O R. Is

1383
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 1: it possible? Sure, anything is possible. But again we're trying

1384
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: to keep an open mind and let the data speak

1385
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,759
Speaker 1: for itself rather than you know, superimposing our own opinions

1386
01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 1: of what something might be or could be, rather kind

1387
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,600
Speaker 1: of the old gum shoe adage, if you will, just

1388
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: the facts, ma'am, And that's that's pretty much how we

1389
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: we were approaching things. Now, Lou you left the Pentagon

1390
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: and you are now the Director of Global Security and

1391
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:30,880
Speaker 1: Special Programs or the to the Stars Academy of Arts

1392
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 1: and Science. What are you doing there and what can

1393
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: you tell you about how your mission set now continues. Sure, well,

1394
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, government and D O D and national security

1395
01:20:42,360 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: apparatus of the government is a wonderful thing. Um what

1396
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: the government does, it does well most of the time.

1397
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 1: But keeping in mind the department is a really large

1398
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: bureaucratic organization. It fights wars fantastic and addresses threats uh

1399
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,000
Speaker 1: in a in a in a great fashion. But keep

1400
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: in mind, these are threats tend to be a little

1401
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,960
Speaker 1: bit more well defined. Right, So when you're talking about terrorism,

1402
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: or you're talking about biological and chemical type munitions, where

1403
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: you're talking about missile technology or nuclear proliferation, or you know,

1404
01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: you name it issues to your right, the government is

1405
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 1: fairly well positive to address those threats. When you're talking

1406
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 1: about something like we were looking at the problem is,

1407
01:21:25,120 --> 01:21:28,800
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more nebulous. Um So, So being

1408
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:32,639
Speaker 1: able to define what the problem is is a first

1409
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 1: of all, a great challenge. Being able to understand how

1410
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 1: it works is is exceedingly even more difficult. And having

1411
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 1: the conversation, believe it or not, there's almost darn near

1412
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 1: impossible within the building. So why did I leave? Um?

1413
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I left because I respect Jim Maddis. Um I left

1414
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: in order to better serve the man. This is a

1415
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 1: man who've spend some time in some very very difficult

1416
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: situations overseas, and uh, he is truly a what I

1417
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,799
Speaker 1: would consider a national on herope for the United States.

1418
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: He's an incredible, incredible human being. But he inherited a

1419
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 1: rather large bureaucratic organization with a lot of stoke pipes

1420
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 1: and a lot of silos, and frankly, it it became

1421
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: apparent to me that the only way I was going

1422
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: to be able to get this finally huge bureaucracy not

1423
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: enough money, not off attention. I we we get that

1424
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 1: for sure, Lou. But what are you doing now? Well,

1425
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: my intention now is with with some of the folks.

1426
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: We work with some some great people like Steve Justice

1427
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 1: and Chris Mellen and how put it often and Tom,

1428
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,679
Speaker 1: we intend to build it. Quite frankly, I know, Mr Sexton,

1429
01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,599
Speaker 1: it sounds kind of to some folks, uh, a little

1430
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,680
Speaker 1: bit outlandish, but it's not. Um. I think we have

1431
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: a much better understanding of the physics that we were

1432
01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 1: we were observing over the course of the last decade,

1433
01:22:49,880 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: and our intent is to conduct some experimentations and build

1434
01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: a working model of this within within too, this way

1435
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 1: of working model of what Lou well, of of what

1436
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 1: we're seeing, of the techno alogy we're seeing. I'm not

1437
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: going to ascribe to to where it's from or who's

1438
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: behind the wheel. But there is something there. There's an

1439
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 1: object that is maneuvering in in a in a way

1440
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: that we would like to better understand and and engineer ourselves. So, Lou,

1441
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean you won't say if I'll say it, everybody,

1442
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:22,639
Speaker 1: he's talking about building a UFO basically, Now you don't

1443
01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: have to say it, Lou, But I'm just saying that

1444
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:25,800
Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about right now where we're going,

1445
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 1: we're going around the little bit that's okay, I will

1446
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:29,879
Speaker 1: make you say it. I appreciate that you've got to

1447
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: keep the skeptics in line and you don't want to

1448
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: go too far. But um, Lou, I just want to know,

1449
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 1: is there anything that anywhere where you want to direct

1450
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: people to go to see more about what you're doing,

1451
01:23:39,960 --> 01:23:42,000
Speaker 1: or your research, or just anything that you want to

1452
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 1: share with the folks across the country listening right now

1453
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:48,200
Speaker 1: to the Start's Academy of Arts and Science. Um, this

1454
01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,759
Speaker 1: is our this is this is where we reside Um,

1455
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: there are a huge group of individuals that are on

1456
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 1: our advisory board. UM. Certainly individuals a heck of a

1457
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 1: lot smarter than me, that's for darn sure. We're talking

1458
01:24:01,080 --> 01:24:05,480
Speaker 1: top not physicists and geneticists and um, you know, engineers

1459
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 1: and in advanced aviation concepts. Steve Justice, as you as

1460
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:12,040
Speaker 1: you probably know, just left one of the top positions

1461
01:24:12,040 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: at Lockheed skunk Works. So for your listeners who know

1462
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: what skunk Works is, UM, that's about as good as

1463
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:21,479
Speaker 1: it gets. Quite frankly, Um, these folks are the ones

1464
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:24,439
Speaker 1: who build build things, um that we won't see for

1465
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,599
Speaker 1: the next fifty years. And of course how Putoff, who's

1466
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:31,560
Speaker 1: a legend in himself and as a physicist and theoretical physicist,

1467
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:35,919
Speaker 1: and Tom Belownce who's going to be doing the entertainment

1468
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:39,800
Speaker 1: piece of of of our company. He plans to make

1469
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 1: books and movies and whatnot that will go out and

1470
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:46,040
Speaker 1: help help inform the public of what we're trying to

1471
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: do here in in an entertaining sort of way. So

1472
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 1: imagine a kind of a Disney model, but for uh,

1473
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 1: for the aerospace community, something that we're going to be

1474
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 1: able to actually do and build in our laboratories, conduct

1475
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: the field research necessary and then at the same time, um,

1476
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, informed the public in entertaining an informative way.

1477
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,120
Speaker 1: Lou Is the lu Alesano is the director of Global

1488
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: going to roll into a break when we come back.

1489
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:49,639
Speaker 1: I got an idea in a technology mood right now,

1490
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: and Christmas is a time for miracles. Let's talk about

1491
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:55,519
Speaker 1: Star Trek technology that really exists. Stay with me for that,

1492
01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:59,200
Speaker 1: all right, So we're just talking about UFOs. What about

1493
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: technology g that comes straight off the screen of Star Trek.

1494
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 1: We've got ethan seagull on the line now he's an

1495
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 1: astrophysicist and author of the new book Trechnology, The Science

1496
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,400
Speaker 1: of Star Trek From tri Quarters to Warp Drive. He

1497
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:18,160
Speaker 1: also has a blog on Forbes called Starts with a Bang.

1498
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 1: Great to have you, Ethan, It's my pleasure to be here.

1499
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: You know, when you talk about Star Trek, you envision

1500
01:26:24,080 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: this glorious future where technology has helped us solve some

1501
01:26:27,800 --> 01:26:30,559
Speaker 1: of our greatest problems, and it's used for the benefit

1502
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 1: of all of humanity. And I can't wait to share

1503
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: with you some of the great advances that are on

1504
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: the cusp of becoming our own reality. All right, So

1505
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: you talked about this in the book, Tell me about

1506
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: I don't watch Star Trek much, but I have seen it.

1507
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a trekky, but I'm not a total novice.

1508
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 1: What is uh synth the Hall? You know, they had

1509
01:26:51,800 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: this idea that rather than alcohol, which gets you drunk

1510
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: and has lots of positive effects like a feeling of

1511
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 1: euphoria and maybe even vincibility and increased self confidence, but

1512
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,160
Speaker 1: it also has these negative side effects of dehydration and

1513
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 1: a loss of equilibrium and hangovers and dead brain cells

1514
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: and gene Roddenberry envisioned a future where he said, you

1515
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: know what, what if you could have all of these

1516
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:18,120
Speaker 1: positive effects and all of that social lubrication that people need,

1517
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:21,639
Speaker 1: but none of the negative effects. Well, here we are,

1518
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: uh in seventeen, and we've made such pharmacological advances that

1519
01:27:27,400 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: we figured out what the molecules are that activate your

1520
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:34,600
Speaker 1: receptors to produce all of these effects. And what we

1521
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: found is we can find an engineer molecules that will

1522
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: bind to the good feeling receptors and not the bad ones.

1523
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,320
Speaker 1: And if we can make up an antidote to that

1524
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 1: something that you take to say, oh no, the captain

1525
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: called red alert, or oh no, I have to take

1526
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: my kid to the hospital, you can do that because

1527
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you can kick all of those

1528
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: euphoria molecules out of their receptors and be stone sober

1529
01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: just like that. This is on the horizon. We've made

1530
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,559
Speaker 1: huge strides towards it, and I wouldn't be surprised if

1531
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: in the next decade or two synth the Hall became

1532
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:13,120
Speaker 1: a reality. You've just got to now get to a point,

1533
01:28:13,160 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Doc where eggnog isn't a problem from a dad bod

1534
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,559
Speaker 1: but that will be that will be a science project

1535
01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: for another day. Eggnog is delicious, but it's like drinking

1536
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:26,639
Speaker 1: a milkshake, everybody. Replicators also a technology from Star Trek.

1537
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,600
Speaker 1: You're telling me, getting closer, getting closer to reality this

1538
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: holiday season. You wouldn't believe what they can three D print. Now,

1539
01:28:34,240 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 1: if you put the right feedstock in there, you can

1540
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: make anything from not only plastic structures, but you can

1541
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 1: make things out of metal. You can make whatever carvings

1542
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: you want out of wood by putting in wood feed stock.

1543
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 1: And they can even do this with food. In fact,

1544
01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 1: they just three D printed the very first pizza on

1545
01:28:55,680 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: the International Space Station. So these devices work in base

1546
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,080
Speaker 1: in zero gravity, and all you have to do is

1547
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 1: supply them with the right ingredients. Were not yet at

1548
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: the point where you can just have it pull matter

1549
01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:10,880
Speaker 1: out of thin air or out of no air at all,

1550
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 1: but we are sure close to having a working replicator

1551
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:18,160
Speaker 1: for food and for materials that go far beyond that.

1552
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna guess that Tyrone here in the Freedom

1553
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:24,200
Speaker 1: Hut with me believes that replicator pizza better than Papa

1554
01:29:24,240 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 1: John's pizza. Tyrone better than Papa John's pizza, much better,

1555
01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: much better. Yes, that's what I figured Okay, cloaking devices,

1556
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 1: tell me about those. Can you believe the idea that

1557
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: you could just turn on the cloaking device and render

1558
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 1: yourself invisible. Well, this isn't science fiction anymore. This is science.

1559
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 1: This is a whole scientific field of meta materials where

1560
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:49,479
Speaker 1: if you make a multi layer coating and you put

1561
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: it on an object, it causes light to bend around

1562
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 1: the object and continue on in its original path as

1563
01:29:58,040 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: though that object were never there. So if you are

1564
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:05,759
Speaker 1: far enough away from that object that's cloaked, you'll see

1565
01:30:06,040 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 1: the background where that object itself should be. We've made

1566
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: these cloaking devices, these meta material devices that work over

1567
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,759
Speaker 1: huge wavelengths of the light spectrum. Next up is getting

1568
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:21,400
Speaker 1: the entire visible part of the spectrum and the ultra

1569
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: violet part, and then we'll have a true cloaking device

1570
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,640
Speaker 1: where you literally won't be able to see something just

1571
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:31,760
Speaker 1: based on this type of cloak that it's wearing. So

1572
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 1: the movie Predator is, in my opinion, one of the

1573
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:37,599
Speaker 1: greatest action movies of all time. And Ethan, I don't

1574
01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:40,480
Speaker 1: know if you're familiar with this film, but the alien

1575
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 1: uses a light refraction technology to essentially blend in with

1576
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: any environment because he becomes see through. We're getting closer

1577
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: to that, aren't we. I mean this was kind This

1578
01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:53,439
Speaker 1: was cutting edge stuff that they were coming up with

1579
01:30:53,479 --> 01:30:56,120
Speaker 1: back in the eighties. You've got a lot of nerve

1580
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 1: coming back here after what you pulled. Yeah, I'm a

1581
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Predator fan. That the classic Yes, ten points ten ten

1582
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,599
Speaker 1: points for astrophysicists. Ethan Seagull I love it all right,

1583
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. Let's get into a

1584
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:15,240
Speaker 1: visor's next. You imagine what it would be like if

1585
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 1: everyone who was blind could suddenly have their site restored,

1586
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:22,760
Speaker 1: if people who had never been able to see from

1587
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: birth could suddenly see for the first time. This was

1588
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:30,560
Speaker 1: the idea of Jordan's Visor from Star Trek, and starting

1589
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:33,880
Speaker 1: in the nineties and on into the two thousand's, what

1590
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:38,960
Speaker 1: they've started to discover is that you can actually engineer this.

1591
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: You don't even need to go through someone's eyeballs or

1592
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:45,280
Speaker 1: their optic nerves. The whole point of connection is the

1593
01:31:45,320 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 1: brain's visual cortex. And what we've begun doing is we've

1594
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 1: begun putting implants into people's visual cortex is and hooking

1595
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 1: them up wirelessly to external cameras. Some people can wear

1596
01:31:58,080 --> 01:32:01,040
Speaker 1: them on their head. Other people can have them transmit

1597
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:04,040
Speaker 1: from anywhere. You're not restricted. If you do this to

1598
01:32:04,080 --> 01:32:07,000
Speaker 1: the visible light portion of the spectrum, you can see

1599
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 1: anything from across any part of the electromagnetic spectrum. You

1600
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: just interpreted into an image, You feed it directly to

1601
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:18,520
Speaker 1: your brain and the signal becomes something that you perceive

1602
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:23,400
Speaker 1: as a site. This could, in principle work to restore

1603
01:32:23,479 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: the vision they estimate up to of people who are

1604
01:32:27,520 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 1: blind today. They have prototypes at Monash University in Australia

1605
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:36,360
Speaker 1: called the hat Pack that actually restore this type of vision.

1606
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: So the future may almost be here. What you know

1607
01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: as a hearing aid. Imagine if you could have that

1608
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 1: same thing for sight. Amazing stuff. Doc Ethan Seagle here

1609
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: astrophysicists and author of the new book Technology, The Science

1610
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 1: of Star Trek From Tricorders to Warp Drive. It sounds

1611
01:32:55,840 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: like a very cool book. Everybody should check it out. Also,

1612
01:32:58,080 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 1: he's got a blog on Forbes starts with a Bang,

1613
01:33:01,479 --> 01:33:03,240
Speaker 1: and you can follow him at starts with a Bang

1614
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Ethan great to have you man, have a

1615
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 1: merry Christmas in a great holiday. Happy holidays to you

1616
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: and all your listeners out there say, we look at

1617
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 1: the show and we cover everything, politics, politics, UFO, star trek,

1618
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff, eggnag, dad bods. It's a virtual

1619
01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,719
Speaker 1: audio menagerie here, all right, gonna come back. We're gonna

1620
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,960
Speaker 1: talk a bit about you. I want to have some

1621
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:28,040
Speaker 1: final thoughts for you all at the end of seventeen,

1622
01:33:28,120 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 1: so stay with me. Well, here we are with our

1623
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:36,559
Speaker 1: last team Buck speaks of seventeen. But before I get

1624
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 1: into that, I just wanted to say a couple of words.

1625
01:33:39,880 --> 01:33:43,360
Speaker 1: All of you who listened to the show, thank you

1626
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: so much for staying with me this year. I know

1627
01:33:46,240 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 1: that there has been a bunch of changes. Certainly over

1628
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:54,000
Speaker 1: the course of my career. There have been a lot

1629
01:33:54,040 --> 01:34:00,760
Speaker 1: of different yeah shifts, a lot of up and well

1630
01:34:00,920 --> 01:34:03,960
Speaker 1: don't really downs, but just changes, you know, changes in

1631
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,639
Speaker 1: the schedule, the time, how you listen, where are you listen,

1632
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,240
Speaker 1: And for those of you who have now been with me,

1633
01:34:09,960 --> 01:34:17,360
Speaker 1: it will be going on, gosh, five or six years now. Um,

1634
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:23,040
Speaker 1: I just can't tell you how honestly flattered I am

1635
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: that you like this show and then you've stayed with

1636
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:29,160
Speaker 1: me all this time, and I wanted to make sure

1637
01:34:29,200 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 1: that you all know that I really do appreciate you

1638
01:34:31,400 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: and every single person who listens to the show, And

1639
01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:37,120
Speaker 1: whether you write in some time or you call in

1640
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: or not, it matters a lot to me that you're

1641
01:34:40,520 --> 01:34:43,840
Speaker 1: willing to spend time with me here in the Freedom Hunt,

1642
01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:47,760
Speaker 1: because this is right now my life's work. This is

1643
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 1: really my focus. It's what I do. I try to

1644
01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 1: think of the best show I can every single day,

1645
01:34:53,680 --> 01:34:57,920
Speaker 1: and I'm really gratified that so many of you are

1646
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:01,720
Speaker 1: down to hang out here in the Hut, And so

1647
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,479
Speaker 1: thank you also for spreading the word to friends and

1648
01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:08,920
Speaker 1: to family members and just help us grow, because as

1649
01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, this is also it's a business as well

1650
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:14,640
Speaker 1: as a passion. And so when I ask, hey, can

1651
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,439
Speaker 1: you guys tell people, all I can do is ask.

1652
01:35:17,600 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 1: But if you really believe in what I'm doing here,

1653
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:24,559
Speaker 1: you wanted to reach more, more ears, more folks out there,

1654
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:29,040
Speaker 1: and to be a a bigger voice in the increasingly

1655
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 1: fractured and anarchic media ecosystem. And really just as a

1656
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:37,839
Speaker 1: question of all of you listening, telling people and wanting

1657
01:35:37,840 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 1: folks to get involved. But most of all, I just

1658
01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:43,040
Speaker 1: want to say thank you. This has been incredible up

1659
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 1: to this point, and I'm just really excited foren You're

1660
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:51,599
Speaker 1: gonna see a whole bunch of new things happening, new

1661
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 1: new segments, new voices on the show, a lot, a

1662
01:35:57,320 --> 01:36:01,000
Speaker 1: lot of fun stuff coming up in twenty eighteen, and

1663
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,360
Speaker 1: of course the History podcast, which is a tremendous I'm

1664
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:05,840
Speaker 1: not gonna lie to you, guys, it's a it's a

1665
01:36:05,880 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 1: tremendous burden in terms of the work. But because so

1666
01:36:10,600 --> 01:36:14,639
Speaker 1: many of you are willing to listen, want to listen,

1667
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,759
Speaker 1: and we'll I know you'll share it and you'll post

1668
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: it on your Facebook, and we'll really grow a robust

1669
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 1: audience for these Shields High podcasts. So I want. I

1670
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:25,880
Speaker 1: want to do it because I love doing it. So

1671
01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:29,600
Speaker 1: this is just me saying thank you so much for

1672
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:34,240
Speaker 1: being with me. I know when I first started the show,

1673
01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:37,000
Speaker 1: for some of you, when I started this show on

1674
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: Premier Networks, you were used to hearing another voice and

1675
01:36:41,200 --> 01:36:43,880
Speaker 1: and other even guest hosts, and then I came out

1676
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 1: of nowhere for some of you, and I really appreciate

1677
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 1: that you were willing to give me a shot and

1678
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:53,439
Speaker 1: hopefully stayed with me all the way through. I have

1679
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:57,960
Speaker 1: a feeling that next year is going to be a

1680
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:01,360
Speaker 1: lively one when it comes to both politics and national security.

1681
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 1: I can already see some some big stories percolating that

1682
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:07,760
Speaker 1: will continue to give us a lot to talk about

1683
01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:11,800
Speaker 1: and hang out about here in the Hut. And I

1684
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 1: just I am very gratified that I get to do

1685
01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 1: this and spend time with all of you and all

1686
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:21,679
Speaker 1: of your tweets and Facebook messages and emails and and everything.

1687
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:23,920
Speaker 1: With those of you who call in. I mean there

1688
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 1: are people no names, There are people who sometimes call

1689
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 1: in and we'll wait on hold for two or three

1690
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 1: hours just to get in and talk to everybody on

1691
01:37:31,920 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: air here in the Hut. I mean, it's uh, you

1692
01:37:34,600 --> 01:37:38,200
Speaker 1: know that the dedication what we're doing here is tremendous.

1693
01:37:38,240 --> 01:37:41,559
Speaker 1: I've gotten essays from people of upwards of a thousand

1694
01:37:41,640 --> 01:37:44,760
Speaker 1: words where they're trying to share information with me about

1695
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 1: a subject on the show. So it really is a collaboration.

1696
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 1: And if it's going to continue to be a success

1697
01:37:53,040 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: in and beyond, it's gonna be because so many of

1698
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,640
Speaker 1: you are really passionate about the show. You know, this

1699
01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 1: isn't the Today Show. I didn't inherit a an audience

1700
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 1: of millions of people who are just gonna tune in

1701
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:09,639
Speaker 1: because they're tuning in, all right, You're you're spending your

1702
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: time with me because you believe in what's going on here.

1703
01:38:12,160 --> 01:38:15,519
Speaker 1: And I feel like that's a sacred bond between all

1704
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 1: of us and it really means a lot to me,

1705
01:38:18,040 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 1: and I am profoundly grateful to all of you who listen.

1706
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:26,519
Speaker 1: So just my way of saying a big bigen for

1707
01:38:26,640 --> 01:38:30,559
Speaker 1: the show, you will hear new stuff, the requests that

1708
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 1: have been coming in. I've been logging and cataloging and

1709
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:37,719
Speaker 1: making notes about how he can really implement it all.

1710
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be a really really fun time here

1711
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:43,479
Speaker 1: in the Hut. So I know we're all gonna be

1712

01:42:29,880 --> 01:42:32,680
Speaker 1: rename your team Buck Speak segment, I compared it to

1781
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 1: your Buck brief as a debrief where it could be

1782
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:40,639
Speaker 1: called a Team Buck debrief or Freedom Hunt debrief as

1783
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,200
Speaker 1: it is at the end of the show. Keep up

1786
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,799
Speaker 1: jopping these down, I'm making a list, checking it twice,

1787
01:42:52,240 --> 01:42:55,439
Speaker 1: going to make sure who's not even nice on Team Buck.

1788
01:42:55,520 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 1: Now I'm just kidding, but I am making a list

1789
01:42:57,200 --> 01:43:00,400
Speaker 1: and checking it twice. So thank you for the Sugg question.

1790
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:04,320
Speaker 1: Uh this I unfortunately deleted the name, but whoever you

1791
01:43:04,320 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 1: are out there, thank you for sending it. Merry Christmas,

1792
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:10,400
Speaker 1: Team Buck. Two things, First, I believe Lethal Weapon one

1793
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 1: is also a Christmas movie. I hadn't thought of it

1794
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:18,800
Speaker 1: that way. And second, for action movie quote Friday, this

1795
01:43:18,880 --> 01:43:21,440
Speaker 1: is a rite in Did you ever hear the expression

1796
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:25,080
Speaker 1: never rob a bank across from a dinner with best

1797
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:29,719
Speaker 1: Donuts in three Counties? Denzel and Mark are in this movie.

1798
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 1: Look forward and God bless well. Uh mysterious message sender?

1799
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: Who he gave me his name? I just when I

1800
01:43:38,600 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 1: when I created a little note to send myself here,

1801
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: I deleted it because you know, like I said, vacationitis,

1802
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting I'm getting ready to ready to punch

1803
01:43:47,840 --> 01:43:51,639
Speaker 1: out here, but I think lethal weapon one. No, I don't.

1804
01:43:51,680 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if we get say because it maybe

1805
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:55,920
Speaker 1: one part is in Christmas, but it covers a long

1806
01:43:55,960 --> 01:44:00,280
Speaker 1: time span. Die Hard for example, the entire movie movie

1807
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:05,280
Speaker 1: takes place on Christmas Eve, the entire movie. So how

1808
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 1: could it be more clear that it is a Christmas movie.

1809
01:44:07,960 --> 01:44:11,800
Speaker 1: It's not that Christmas occurs in the timeline of the film,

1810
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:16,639
Speaker 1: it's that it is, in fact a movie on Christmas Eve. Alright,

1811
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: bo with the following buck slapped l O L. That's

1812
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:23,240

01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:25,559

1817
01:44:33,920 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 1: the Core and we had knowledge to impart, we would

1818
01:44:36,520 --> 01:44:39,919
Speaker 1: holler school Circle. All the Marines would run like maniacs

1819
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:42,680
Speaker 1: and PLoP down on the ground, sitting at attention to

1820

1823
01:44:54,200 --> 01:44:56,760

1827
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:06,519
Speaker 1: a lot of new stuff. I mean it would be

1828
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:10,240
Speaker 1: obviously me so it'll be the same show, but it

1829
01:45:10,360 --> 01:45:13,719
Speaker 1: will will have new segments, branded segments. The History Show

1830
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:16,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be weekly, hopefully it might be twice a month,

1831
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:21,439
Speaker 1: depends on Mr Buck's workload over here. And yeah, there'll

Speaker 1: lot of new stuff. Commy Bear is gonna be back.

1834
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:30,720
Speaker 1: I have to tell you, like I feel like people there,

1835
01:45:30,720 --> 01:45:33,320
Speaker 1: there's almost like gonna be a Commy Bear boycott if

1836
01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:35,360
Speaker 1: I don't get Comy Bear back on the show from

1837
01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 1: some people, they get very they're very attached to the bear.

1838
01:45:38,320 --> 01:45:40,360
Speaker 1: And those of you who don't know what Commy Bears are, like,

1839
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:43,679
Speaker 1: what the heck is he talking about? Just just give

1840
01:45:43,680 --> 01:45:45,920
Speaker 1: it some time, my friends, we will we will get there,

1841
01:45:46,640 --> 01:45:52,280
Speaker 1: all right. Daniel Rights, Hey Buck, my name's Daniel and

1842
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm from Virginia. As one of your newest and possibly

1843
01:45:55,920 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 1: youngest listeners, I'm fifteen. I'd like to say I really

1844
01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:03,639
Speaker 1: enjoy your show and I'm looking forward to your history podcast. Also,

1845
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:06,400
Speaker 1: the naming of the Freedom Hut and Team Buck Speaks

1846
01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:11,560
Speaker 1: helps a lot. Another favorite part of mine is Shields High.

1847
01:46:11,640 --> 01:46:13,760
Speaker 1: I must say that I can't remember much of the

1848
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:16,080
Speaker 1: Bush era and all I've known as the Obama era.

1849
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 1: I'm really fond of that name to it makes it

1850
01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 1: sound like it was bad, which it was, and I'm

1851
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:25,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to experience a new Golden age of America

1852
01:46:25,840 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 1: and seeing everything Trump has in store. Hopefully he'll get

1853
01:46:29,040 --> 01:46:32,600
Speaker 1: reelected a third time. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt, thanks for

1854
01:46:32,680 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 1: all you're doing. I really enjoy it. Shields High and

1855
01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:38,960
Speaker 1: never give in. Daniel, Well, Daniel, that's a great email,

1856
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: and I very much appreciate Herrik. I think it's awesome

1857
01:46:43,600 --> 01:46:47,719
Speaker 1: that we have listeners who run the run the gamut

1858
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 1: from you know, teenagers all the way up to people

1859
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,400
Speaker 1: with three digits you know, I mean, we go away

1860
01:46:55,520 --> 01:46:58,559
Speaker 1: up there, and that's great and it's uh makes me

1861
01:46:59,160 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: really happy. Brings me a lot of joy to know

1862
01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: that we've got so many folks from different because we're

1863
01:47:04,680 --> 01:47:06,880
Speaker 1: you understand what this show is about you understand why

1864
01:47:06,920 --> 01:47:08,679
Speaker 1: I come here each day and talk to you about

1865
01:47:08,680 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 1: the things I do and take the approach that I do.

1866
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:14,640
Speaker 1: But you know, it probably would be better, from a

1867
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,640
Speaker 1: pure dollars and cents career standpoint, for me to come

1868
01:47:17,680 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 1: in here and just pound the table and yell. And

1869
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 1: I actually have a scary yelling voice if I wanted

1870
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 1: to use it, and I could do that too, But

1871
01:47:24,360 --> 01:47:29,120
Speaker 1: I think that that is condescending to the audience, because

1872
01:47:29,160 --> 01:47:30,960
Speaker 1: some days I'll be upset about things, and you know

1873
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:33,120
Speaker 1: what I'm upset, I tell you. But to just be

1874
01:47:33,240 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 1: pretending to pretend to be upset every day, Oh, we've

1875
01:47:36,920 --> 01:47:39,600
Speaker 1: been sold out by this group or that group. I

1876
01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:42,200
Speaker 1: don't know how people can be outraged and angry so much.

1877
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 1: I think after a while, it just gets boring and

1878
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 1: it's it's the easy way out, and maybe it's lucrative,

1879
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:51,639
Speaker 1: but it's not helpful, it's not constructive, it's not worth

1880
01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 1: while in the end. So I appreciate that so many

1881
01:47:54,680 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 1: of you listen knowing that I take a different approach,

1882
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:59,800
Speaker 1: and I really just want you all spending time with

1883
01:47:59,840 --> 01:48:04,400
Speaker 1: me here in the hut. Michael has the following insight

1884
01:48:04,479 --> 01:48:06,400
Speaker 1: to share This may be a bit late, but I

1885
01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 1: work Tuesday to Saturday and listen to your podcast on

1886
01:48:09,240 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 1: my our Plus drive home, so it might be a

1887
01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 1: day behind. First, I want to let you know you

1888
01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:18,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen Greece and haven't seen and should see Grease

1889
01:48:19,640 --> 01:48:22,360
Speaker 1: also on the list of movies men shouldn't see. Oh,

1890
01:48:22,400 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: so you're saying shouldn't see, but he left out that

1891
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:27,800
Speaker 1: he meant to say shouldn't see our Dirty Dancing and

1892
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:31,440
Speaker 1: Fried Green Tomatoes. Haven't seen either of those either. Most importantly,

1893
01:48:31,479 --> 01:48:34,519
Speaker 1: I wanted to say that conservative Republicans should push for

1894
01:48:34,520 --> 01:48:39,559
Speaker 1: the prosecution of that screeching sea cow Rosie O'Donnell as

1895
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 1: hard as they possibly can, because you can bet your

1896
01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:45,040
Speaker 1: bottom dollar that if the roles were reversed and a

1897
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:48,840
Speaker 1: conservative celebrity had offered two Democrats senators two million dollars

1898
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:51,519
Speaker 1: to change their vote, Rosie o'donnald would have been the

1899
01:48:51,560 --> 01:48:54,880
Speaker 1: first screaming for that conservative celebt to be behind bars.

1900
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: I say five fire with fire shields high, and then

1901
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:02,439
Speaker 1: he has hash tag jail the seak out. Well, I

1902
01:49:02,479 --> 01:49:04,960
Speaker 1: don't think that Rosie o'donnald is going to get prosecuted,

1903
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:08,280
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't advocate for that, although what she did,

1904
01:49:08,400 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 1: what she said is pretty dumb. I also don't think

1905
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 1: we should bring sea cows into this because sea cows,

1906
01:49:13,520 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 1: also known as manatees, are a a majestic creature and

1907
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,240
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to see one. I've actually never had

1908
01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 1: a chance to see one, and Miss Molly is making

1909
01:49:23,360 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 1: fun of me a lot these days. We're out to

1910
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: dinner with one of my oldest friends last night and

1911
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:29,639
Speaker 1: her husband friends. Now, we we did the math. We've

1912
01:49:29,640 --> 01:49:34,519
Speaker 1: been friends for twenty five years, and and I let

1913
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,760
Speaker 1: slip that I I if we can't get a dog

1914
01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 1: soon enough because of restrictions in our apartment and Miss

1915
01:49:40,439 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 1: molly schedule in my schedule, maybe there's some other pets

1916
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:47,360
Speaker 1: that I would consider. And Miss Molly starts making fun

1917
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: of She's like, oh, what, We're gonna get a pet

1918
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 1: fox or a mini peg or a And I'm like,

1919
01:49:51,439 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 1: this all sounds great, but sure enough those are not

1920
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:58,240
Speaker 1: not options that would work either for right now. And

1921
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:01,000
Speaker 1: I know a manatee is deaf, not a thing you

1922
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 1: can have as a pet, But they look so nice

1923
01:50:03,439 --> 01:50:05,840
Speaker 1: and peaceful and like they're very chilled out. You know,

1924
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 1: there's something very chill about a manatee. Uh, David writes

1925
01:50:10,280 --> 01:50:13,880
Speaker 1: in Fantastic Show a fifteen year old kid and a

1926
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:17,800
Speaker 1: twenty two year old female registered Democrat voter calling in.

1927

Speaker 1: You're making a difference, bro Well, thank you, David, I

1928
01:50:20,680 --> 01:50:23,960

1929
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:26,960

1930
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:29,040
Speaker 1: quick note to thank you for offering such a quality

1931
01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:33,879
Speaker 1: political analysis program these days. I'm listening to Shapiro, Rush

1932
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:36,920
Speaker 1: and Buck. I'm amazed by the fact that you applied

1933
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 1: to a couple of my Facebook messenger comments and read

1934
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:41,679
Speaker 1: a couple on the air. It is heartwarming. I wish

1935
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: I could get advanced notice for your TV appearances. Do

1936
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 1: you post those somewhere? And also try a Porterhouse. Best

1940
01:50:56,720 --> 01:50:59,920
Speaker 1: second choice after Ribby. I don't know why. I'm just

1941
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:03,600
Speaker 1: very devoted to a great Rearby Steak and Well. I

1942
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,400
Speaker 1: can tell you why. I has to do with the marblization,

1943
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:07,360
Speaker 1: the fat content and the meat and the way that

1944
01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:10,240
Speaker 1: if it is perfectly seared on the outside, it locks

1945
01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 1: in a lot of the flavor. But a discussion for

1946
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 1: another time. As a TV appearances, Yeah, Facebook, if you're
