1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the mission or

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,120
Speaker 1: mission is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Make no mistake, American, You're a great American. Again the

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton Show begins. No test studio, my friends, test Studo,

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: Michael Palka here, and actually I'm not in the Freedom

6
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Hut as who were. I am filling in for Buck

7
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: Sexton today happily, So Merry Christmas to those of you

8
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: who celebrate the day after this Boxing Day. I am

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: coming to you from the original Free Speech Bunker in Chicago, Illinois.

10
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: I am in home, home base, visiting family and friends

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: and honoring the memory of my dad, who passed two

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: years ago today. But I'm here with you to celebrate

13
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the holidays, to celebrate a miraculous day, one of the

14
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: most amazing days on record, one of the most amazing

15
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: days in my mind, at least. I woke up this

16
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: morning and I was like, oh, Christmas was great, but

17
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, we've still got some problems. We have the

18
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: story that broke on Christmas Day of the tragedy of

19
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: the young child from Guatemala who entered this country so

20
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: deathly ill that even American medicine could not save the child.

21
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: What a terrible tragedy. This young boy died after his

22
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: parents took him what hundreds thousands of miles from Guatemala

23
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: through Central America, up through Mexico to America, and the

24
00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: kid was so sick that when we finally noticed it

25
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: and saw how bad the fever was, this child could

26
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: not be saved by the great American medicine. A tragedy. Indeed,

27
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: now we're going to see this being used as a

28
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: political weapon against Donald Trump. Twice in the last month,

29
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: we have had children die and but for the actions

30
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: of the parents, those children would be alive today. But

31
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a tragedy, nonetheless. So I feel terrible for that

32
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: family and a terrible loss of life. But it wasn't

33
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 1: our fault. It's not our problem, folks. And if you're

34
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: going to try and pin this on Donald Trump and

35
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: his policies, you're doing the wrong thing. And speaking of

36
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: the president, our president, my president, your president, not Hillary Clinton.

37
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. Donald Trump was missing today, missing an action.

38
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: It was like, wow, why isn't he tweeting? He was

39
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: tweeting up a storm over the weekend. He worked while chancey.

40
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: That's what we call Chuck and Nancy. While Chancy went

41
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: home during the government shutdown, Donald Trump stayed in the

42
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: White House. Donald Trump stayed in the White House and

43
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: worked as much as he could. There were plans happening

44
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: about a meeting with North Korea, despite the fact that

45
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: North Korea is not behaving really well these days. There

46
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: were discussions. There was a call to the troops in fact,

47
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: and NBC and MSNBC and Huffington Post couldn't wait to

48
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: go after Donald Trump would say, it's the first time

49
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: since two thousand and two a city president hasn't visited

50
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: the troops at this point, and his president says, he's awful.

51
00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Our troops deserve better. And then shortly thereafter, we heard

52
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: about a mission, an amazing mission, possibly six weeks in

53
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 1: the making. If you listen to a person who would

54
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: know about these things, Dana Perrino over at Fox News

55
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: what First of all, what a class act Dana Perino is.

56
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: But Pairinho explained today on the Five that in order

57
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: to do what the President and First Lady and their

58
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: team did today, it takes weeks and weeks and weeks

59
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: of planning, and it also takes a lot of secrecy.

60
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: What am I talking about talking about the President going

61
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:43,679
Speaker 1: to visit the troops in Iraq. The President pulled off something.

62
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: And we are so often bombarded by the mainstream meets

63
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: attack on this president, calling him just that he's unhinged,

64
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: he can't keep his secret, he can't hold anything back. Well,

65
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 1: look at what just happened today, President Don J. Trump

66
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: and Milania Trump, the First Lady, flew to Iraq to

67
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 1: visit our troops. An amazing moment captured by just a

68
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: pool camera. You know, it's a video crew that goes

69
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: along with the President. It's not the full Press Corp.

70
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Because you know, if you'd brought the full Press Corp

71
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: up to date on this, they would eleak this and

72
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: destroyed this mission a long time ago. But just a

73
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: couple of hours ago in Iraq, the President walked out

74
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: on stage to thunderous applause from men and women's station.

75
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: There yes, American troops chanting USA to their commander in chief.

76
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: It was just a great moment and for all the

77
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: people were caught with their pants down. I'm talking to

78
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: my old friend Monte Williams, who really doesn't like this

79
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: president and went after him about this and also basically

80
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 1: claimed that the child who died, the terminally ill child

81
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: who came into this country because the parents dragged him

82
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: here from Guatemala, that that was the fault of this administration.

83
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: That's incorrect. But Monte Williams and A Lissa Milano both

84
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: went after the president and they used the MSNBC and

85
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: NBC News stories about this president not visiting the troops. Well,

86
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: I mentioned that this mission had taken weeks to plan

87
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: and it wasn't that easy to pull off. Not just

88
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: keeping a secret. This was President Trump just a few

89
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: hours ago talking about the mission, and he was asked

90
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: about his concerncerns, and of course his first concern was

91
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: for the first Lady and the people around him. Late,

92
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: I will tell you, but if you would have seen

93
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: what we had to go through with the darkened plane,

94
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: with all windows, clothes, with no lights on whatsoever, anywhere,

95
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: pitch black. I've never seen it. I've been many aeroplanes,

96
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 1: all types and shapes and sizes. I've never seen anything

97
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: like it. We're coming in and I know all of

98
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: the things that were surrounding us for safety. So did

99
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: I have a concern, Yeah, I had a concern, But

100
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: my bigger concern was maybe the people that were with me,

101
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: certainly all of them except I think John Bolden. He's

102
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: a pretty tough guy in adlan Chia. Yeah, I do

103
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: think John Bolton could have handled it. John Bolton is

104
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: a tough cat. He still looks like the Lorex to me.

105
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: But just a wonderful moment, the President going to visit

106
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the troops, and for the rest of you who couldn't

107
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: believe it, the MSNBC crowd, the huff Post crowd, who

108
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: really I just love that these people are exposed, that

109
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: they printed on their websites, on their Twitter accounts for

110
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: God and everybody to see, the people who slam this president,

111
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: and we're so indignant and very upset about the fact

112
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: that he hadn't got well. It just does take a

113
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a plan. The trips are are. Yeah,

114
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to try and get our buddy, Dan Bongino

115
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: on the phone. Dan Bongino, former Secret Service agent, knows

116
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: about this. There are people out there saying, well, don

117
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: Trump did this just because people were critical of him.

118
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: MSNBC was criticizing him. No, as Bongino said online, it

119
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: takes weeks weeks in advance. Advanced teams have to go there.

120
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: You know, they have to send secrets teams there to

121
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: meet with the military commanders to set up all the protocols, safety,

122
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: security protocols to happen. So this was kept a secret.

123
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: This was just a wonderful, wonderful moment for President Donald J. Trump,

124
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: And he was, as he said, in a completely blacked

125
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: out plane. They left last night and they flew all

126
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: the way to Baghdad. Now, granted, Iraq is a lot

127
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: safer today than it was, say in two thousand and two,

128
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: but it's still not a slam dunk in terms of security.

129
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: It's still not an easy deal. So for the president

130
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: to get there and get it done and pull this

131
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: off in quiet, I saw I think I saw the

132
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: Treasury secretary with him. I saw Sarah Huckabee Sanders there.

133
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: She wrote one of the most touching things about standing

134
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: with one of the soldiers and he hold the patch

135
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: off his jacket arm and gave it to her. Just

136
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: an amazing thing, very amazing. Good good on you, mister President,

137
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: as they would say in Australia, really good on you.

138
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: We'll try and get Dan, maybe we can get Dan

139
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: Bungino call in talk about just what it takes to

140
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: pull this off, and then we'll we have to get

141
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: to a couple of other things today because there are

142
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: some wonderful things out there we need to talk about.

143
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: Since it's the end of the year, I have combed

144
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: the news files and pulled up some of the moments

145
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: that should embarrass the hell out of the mainstream media.

146
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 1: If you follow me on Twitter, maybe you know what

147
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. But I've created my own version of

148
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen's most embarrassing media moments. And oh yeah, we're

149
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: going to talk about the stock market. We're going to

150
00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: talk about what happened today. Because there are people among

151
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: us who I just can't believe how anti American they are.

152
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: There are people who have been exhibiting extreme schadenfreude. Schadenford

153
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: is one of the early pure Opelka words of the day.

154
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: Schadenfreud is a German word that means the feeling of

155
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: joy that you get at the misfortune of others. And

156
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: there have been folks who experienced schotte schadenfreude over the

157
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: stock market and the precipitous drop we have seen over

158
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: the past few weeks. Now, we need to keep in

159
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: mind that the stock market has in fact, been on

160
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: a tear since the recession of two thousand and eight,

161
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: since the bottom, because of all the fiscal stimulus that

162
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: was shoved down the throats of the economy and the

163
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: banks by the Federal Reserve. All the stimulus, and it

164
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: did what it was supposed to do. It kept the

165
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: economy going. It got people back into getting mortgages and

166
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: car loans. And now ten years later, guess what. The

167
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: market has been on a tear for ten years. Nothing

168
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: goes up forever. But you heard people saying, oh, this

169
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: is Trump's recession. Here it comes the stock markets crashing.

170
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: But if you read the Wall Street Journal today, you

171
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: saw the reports about retail sales. You saw the story

172
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: that was out there that America's underlying economic fundamentals were

173
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,079
Speaker 1: rock solid. And today the stock market told us the

174
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: rest of the story. We'll get to our buddy, the

175
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: capitalist pig, coming up just around the corner. I also

176
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: have to talk about something that happened here in Chicago.

177
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the naming of the highway. There's

178
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: a mayoral candidate here in Chicago who wants to name

179
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: a section highway after Barack Obama. He wants to take

180
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: a section of highway currently known as the Dan Ryan Expressway.

181
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: It's an old Chicago figure, Dan Ryan, and rename it

182
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: the Barack Obama Expressway. Now, there's already a chunk of

183
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: I fifty five in this state that's named for Barack Obama.

184
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: There's a chunk of highway in California that's named for

185
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. But that's not good enough for these butt kissers.

186
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: They want to name another section of Chicago roadways after

187
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: Barack who saying Obama. But there's an interesting story behind it,

188
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: and we'll have to share that with you, so we'll

189
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: get to that. You can join me on Twitter today.

190
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: Apparently we are on a holiday schedule and one of

191
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: our people is not here to answer the phone, so

192
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,440

Speaker 1: want to send me your home phone number on Twitter,

Speaker 1: I'll call you. Persleaa, we'll do this. Who go ahead,

Speaker 1: people who follow me may call you. But we can't

198
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: do phone calls today, but we will do some Twitter polling.

199
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about the president in Iraq. The Secret

200
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: Mission we'll talk more about what the Dems have been doing.

201
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: There's a new song I have to play for you,

202
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: and we'll have some fun on the Buck Sexton Show.

203
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: Come on back, Michael Pelka and for Buck Sexton on

00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: the Buck Sexton Show. Here, Happy, happy, Happy Christmas to

00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: you and yours. Oh, I neglected to say it. I'm sorry.

00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,400

Speaker 1: you'll hear more of that. Yeah, the first day of quanza.

211
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: How do you say quanza with a straight face? It's

212
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: made that question. That's absolutely right. I'm here for buck

213
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Is on holiday. Good for him, and I'm coming to

214
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: you live from actually the banks of Lake Michigan in Chicago,

215
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: the main line of mid America, my hometown. So I'm

216
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: having fun and with you. Always happy to be here

217
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: with family over the holidays. I hope you had chance

218
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: to be with family or friends. A buddy of mine,

219
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: and you've heard him on the show, Billy halliwell, he's

220
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: a great writer in the faith world and just a

221
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: wonderful person all around. Billy has a friend's giving Christmas

222
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: where they get all the people who don't have family

223
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: in the area and they have him over and they

224
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: have like a Christmas dinner. And we had our Christmas

225
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: dinner last night at one of my sisters homes in

226
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: the suburbs of Chicago, a little town called Schaumberg, which

227
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: is famous for a massive mall. And that's really about it.

228
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: But somebody dropped a sweet potato casserole in the kitchen

229
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: and I never noticed it before, but sweet potatoes went

230
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: all mashed up and everything on the floor. When it

231
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: hits the floor, it looks like someone ralphed. So we

232
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: took pictures posing as if we had been the people

233
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: who rouped the sweet potaties. I'm sure my mother was

234
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: looking down from heaven and shaking her head and going,

235
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: what is wrong with you all? But maybe I'll post

236
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: I should post a copy of that picture on the internets.

237
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to do today. We're going to

238
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: get to my top five media moments of the year,

239
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: Top five most embarrassing media moments of the year. Because

240
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: the mainstream media was absolutely idiotic. This year, there was

241
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: such a competition. I had to put montages together. And

242
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: this guy actually makes an appearance. One of the biggest

243
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: jack wagons ever makes an appearance in the bad media moments.

244
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: Remember remember that, Remember that from Governor Howard Dean, the

245
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: scream that killed a presidential career. It was, yeah, that

246
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: primal scream. He makes an appearance. You didn't see much

247
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: of Howard Dean this year, but when he did show up,

248
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: he said really dumb things. So we'll get to that.

249
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: And just around the corner, we have to talk about

250
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: what happened to the stock market today, because it has dropped,

251
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: as we all know, into bear market territory, down twenty

252
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: percent for the year. But today the Dow Jones Industrial

253
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: Index climbed to one thousand and eighty six points in

254
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: one day, the largest single day rise ever. And is

255
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: that because of something the president said? Or is it

256
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: because of the comments in the Wall Street Journal about

257
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: the retail industry. But the President did have thoughts about

258
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: the market, and I'll play those for you and we

259
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: will pick the brain of a really smart guy. My

260
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: buddy Jonathan Hoenig of the Capitalist Pig is going to

261
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: join us live on the Buck Sexton Show. My name

262
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca. Happy to be here with you. Come on

263
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: back after the break we'll talk money on the Buck

264
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: Sexton program. Michael Pelka in for Buck Sexton. Buck will

265
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: be back. He's having a little Christmas holiday. Good for him,

266
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: God bless. I am here in my hometown, the main

267
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 1: line of mid America, Chicago, Illinois, and I have to

268
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: tell you this happened yesterday and I wonder if it

269
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: had anything to do with what happened today. This I mean,

270
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,199
Speaker 1: the fact is that the economy is doing so well

271
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: that they raised the interest rates and that says a

272
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: form of safety in a way. President of Obama didn't

273
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: do much of that. Much easier to run when you

274
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: have no interest. There he had a very low interest rate.

275
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: We have a normalized interest rate. A normalized interest rate

276
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: means a life. No, it's good for a lot of people.

277
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: They have money in the bank, they get interest on

278
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: their money. For many years nobody got interest on them.

279
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: So the President talked about the Federal Reserve. He also

280
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: tell people that the market had some opportunities to buy,

281
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 1: and today we saw that big buying happen. But what

282
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: does it mean does it mean there's there's safety, there's

283
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: a mean everything's good? I don't know. So I rely

284
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: on people with common sense, people who don't just tell

285
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: you all the rosy stories. They tell you the reality.

286
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: And one such person as my friend and genius in

287
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: financial world. He's called the Capitalist Pig. He can follow

288
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: him on the Capitalist pig dot com or follow him

289
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Jonathan Honig joins us, Hello, my friend, how

290
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: are you well? Feeling about a thousand points better today?

291
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve? Wow? You know this? You know, the old

292
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: thing is that when elephants are dancing, mice get trampled

293
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: and full some elephants dancing these days in the stock market,

294
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: first to historic drubbing on Christmas Eve is down six

295
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: hundred points, and then another historic game today. The market

296
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: that saw has never been up a thousand points in

297
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: one day, and we saw today a thousand and eighty

298
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: six points higher. Gets still mikeet you can believe it

299
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: down for the month. So some the wild swings on

300
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: Wall Street continue. Yeah, So while we can be happy

301
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: about today, we can also still be a little cautious

302
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: because the stove is hot. You don't want to touch

303
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: it just yet. Maybe I'm just I think more than anything, Mike,

304
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 1: you know, you we have to put today's action and

305
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,959
Speaker 1: just the economy ritt large, in a little bit of context.

306
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, we've we've been in the midst of a

307
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,200
Speaker 1: nine year and I'll put the politics aside. These the

308
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: bits been in the midst of a nine year bull market,

309
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: in a nine year economic expansion, some of which occurred

310
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: under the previous a president, some of which occurred under

311
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: the career president. So you know, we're this economic expansion

312
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 1: just in general is pretty long in the tooth to

313
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: begin with. Then add to that worries about rising inflation,

314
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: rising interest rates, which the President had alluded to a

315
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: little bit, and just generally a slowing economy, and some

316
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: worries about the financial sector. You know, I think what

317
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: really frightened the market, Mike was that news that Treasury

318
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Secretary Manuchin had called the nation's largest banks and inquired

319
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: inquired with them on a Sunday if they had liquidity

320
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: and we're functioning that I think I scared a lot

321
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: of traders and investors before on Christmas Eve, But today

322
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: the bulls were back, and essentially we're right back where

323
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: we were in the market. Before Christmas Eve, still down

324
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 1: for the month, but certainly better than we were at

325
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: eight o'clock this morning. Well, you bring up some really

326
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: key points on this, and again we're talking to Jonathan Honig,

327
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: the capitalist Pig. I followed Jonathan on Twitter, but I

328
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: also follow him when he does his little seminars online

329
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. So I appreciate that I'm learning, Jonathan.

330
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: My notebook's getting bigger. You talk about the comments from

331
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary and how that may have spooked the

332
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: market because he called the banks and said, hey, are

333
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: you liquid? Do you have enough money? And we hadn't

334
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: heard any questions of the stability of the banks here

335
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 1: tofore in this latest downturn, so that spooked it. I

336
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: look at some of my tech stocks because I look

337
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: at the Apples and I look at the Googles, and

338
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: I see there had been some I guess, a loss

339
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: of credibility or trust from many of us who are

340
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: a retail investors, and you know, we don't trade like

341
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 1: the big people, and we got nervous. And Apple had

342
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: been down from a big high earlier like two hundred

343
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: and forty something, and they bounced back a little bit

344
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: today they came back with a nice little bounce. So

345
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: absolutely mean Apple today, Mike had its best day in

346
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: five years. It can believe, it was up about seven percent.

347
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: It's still down seven percent year to date, however, and

348
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, Apple is just a It's a perfect example

349
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: of really the type of stock that has led this

350
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: bull market, really led the economy, you know, Mike, during

351
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: the Obama years and even during many of the President

352
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: Trump sears. You know, it wasn't Ford or Alcoa. It

353
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: wasn't the manufacturing stocks that were leading this economy forward.

354
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,239
Speaker 1: It was the apples and the facebooks. If it's been

355
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: the amazons that have really been leading the way forward,

356
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: then they are all really started to wilt in October

357
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: and November. So what we've seen now in later November

358
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: December is just almost the rest of the market, and

359
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I believe the rest of the economy catching up and

360
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: slowing down. So guests a bit of a bounce back today.

361
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: But I still think that for most investors, Mike, you

362
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: big or small, I don't think care whether you have

363
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars or a million dollars in the bank.

364
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: I do think now it's a great time for caution

365
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, people are spent like crazy this Christmas season. Now,

366
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: maybe that's good for the economy that people are spending,

367
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: but to me, it's a it's a great sign of overconfidence,

368
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: not unlike what we saw in two thousand and six,

369
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, even two thousand and eight, as

370
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: the markets were wilting, people were still spending. And that's

371
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: what always gets people into trouble markets. It's not that

372
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: they pick a bad stock, but that they buy, they

373
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: owe more than they have, they buy more than they have,

374
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: and that debt is what always gets people into problem,

375
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: whether it's a stock, whether it's their home, or whether

376
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: it's the credit card, which is what it is this

377
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: time around in the market. Well, we heard that the

378
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal today had the good numbers, the positive

379
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: numbers on retail, and retail stocks certainly benefited today. But

380
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: you bring up a really key point here, Jonathan Honey

381
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: tells us if we can't afford it, you're you're going

382
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: to have problems down the road because those bills will

383
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: come in January. I just read, Jonathan, twenty eight percent

384
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: of us are still paying for last year's Christmas expenditures.

385
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: And that's never a good sign. If more than a

386
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: quarter of the people out there are still paying off

387
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: credit card debt from last Christmas, I shudder to think

388
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: where we will be a year from today. Yeah, And indeed,

389
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: mikel and the thing that President is right about is

390
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: that interest rates are going up now. Whether you think

391
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: they should or think they you know, that's that's really

392
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: another discussion. Interest rates are going up. You know in

393
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: many of us, you know, ten years ago, twelve years ago,

394
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: before the financial crisis, it was really our home was

395
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: it was our mortgages where many of us had borrowed

396
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 1: and kind of leveraged ourselves a bit too much. This

397
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: time around, Mike, and really is the credit card. Americans

398
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: have record amounts of credit card debt, and the interest

399
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: on those credit cards is also at a record high.

400
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: So a great New Year's resolution, again doesn't matter if

401
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: you're just getting started with the markets or whether you've

402
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: got a lot of money in the bank, is to

403
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: start to whittle down get rid of that credit card debt.

404
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: Because you know, Mike, you can hope and aim and

405
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: really try real hard to make ten, twelve, fifteen percent

406
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 1: in the market where you can pay down that credit

407
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: card debt. And it's like an immediate return on a

408
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: principle on your bottom line. It's a great goal for

409
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: anyone for the new year to start to put their

410
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: financial house in order and one hundred percent with you.

411
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: And sometimes it takes a long time. I'm full disclosure here.

412
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: You're humble announcer in his late twenties rapped up thirty

413
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: thousand dollars of credit card debt when I wasn't making

414
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot of money. It took me eight years to

415
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: get out the whole. But now I will tell you

416
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I don't live with any credit card debt, and I

417
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: don't live with automobile debt. I live only with a

418
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: residential mortgage debt. And I will tell you, yeah, go ahead,

419
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: and what you find, Mike, and I'm sure. And what

420
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: you find is that you know the market is always

421
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 1: going to be unpredictable and a lot of indicators do

422
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: suggest that there will be a recession at twenty nineteen,

423
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: look at and inevitable that recessions do come in. What

424
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 1: I know you probably experiences just that feeling of safety,

425
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: that feeling security knowing that you aren't going to have

426
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: the loan visa MasterCard debt collectors knocking on your door.

427
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: When you've got that consumer debt paid off, quite simply,

428
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: you sleep better at night. And that helps everywhere every

429
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: American these days. Well, the other thing it allows you

430
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: to do, Jonathan, and it's common sense, it's very obvious,

431
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: but it allows you to put money away. And we

432
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: as Americans, have not been saving. Now I had heard

433
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: maybe you can back me up or debunk this. America

434
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: started saving again, and it appears that the millennials, the

435
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: people I so often harangue, they're actually saving and not

436
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: weighing themselves down with anything other than maybe they're student

437
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: loan debt. Is that accurate? Well, there was a transformation,

438
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: like again, I mean, you know, the more things change,

439
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: the more they say they stay the same. In the

440
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: wake of the global financial crisis, you can believe it.

441
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: It's you know, ten years ago now, there was a transformation.

442
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: People tighten their belts, they paid down their debt, they

443
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: started once again living within their means, and to your point,

444
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,400
Speaker 1: they once again started saving. In the decade that's followed,

445
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: we started to see that trend reverse once again. They

446
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: call it the wealth effect, Mike, and it basically means that,

447
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, the more we have, the more we tend

448
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 1: to spend. So as the stock market has gone up,

449
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: at least up until the last couple of months, and

450
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,719
Speaker 1: as unemployment has continued to remain unemployment has remained quite strong,

451
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: people have simply been spending more, kind of moving out

452
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 1: of that recession depression air of mentality that was born

453
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: after two thousand and eight and starting once again to

454
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: ring up those credit card bills. And Mike, you're right,

455
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the millennials you know whatever, in a

456
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: love them or hate them, a lot of them came

457
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: up during the global financial crisis, so they're pretty conservative

458
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: if you can imagine to begin with. Then again, a

459
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of them invested in bitcoin, which is down about

460
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: eighty percent or ninety percent this year. So this has

461
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: just been a tough or Mike, to be an investor

462
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: of any sort, which another reason why you really have

463
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: to keep a long term perspective and always live within

464
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: your meetings. Well, that's good advice, Jonathan. Should we look

465
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: for I got about a minute or so left here.

466
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: Should we look for anything specific? Is this what they

467
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: call a dead cat bounce today? Or what should we

468
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: be watching for for the last few days of the year. Yeah,

469
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: that's the fear, right, that dead cat bounce, that this

470
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: is just one day that a reversal in the midst

471
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 1: of the continued downward trend in stocks. You know, the

472
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: market's down about six percent this year. It didn't get

473
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,959
Speaker 1: there in one day, and it's not going to reverse

474
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: in one day. So what you want to see is

475
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 1: essentially the trend continue. You want to see any stocks,

476
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: whether it be the high tech flyers, or the utilities,

477
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: or even some of the energy stocks that have just

478
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 1: been tunneled this year, begin to make some kind of

479
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: a base here and move higher in a sustained fashion.

480
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: We haven't seen it yet. Even today, about sixteen hundred

481
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: stocks at New fifty two week glows only a handful

482
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: at New fifty two kighs. So this is a bottoming process.

483
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: But one day is a great start in terms of

484
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: getting the economy and hope of the stock market back

485
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: on track. In twenty nineteen. Great stuff, always, always great

486
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: stuff from my friend Jonathan Honig the Capitalist Pig, Capitalist

487
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: pig dot com. Thank you, Jonathan. I hope we have

488
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: more record setting days on the upside in the green

489
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: side in the new year. To be with you and

490
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: it's great to be on Bucks show. Thanks so much, Mikey,

491
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. God bless there. He goes really smart

492
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: and measured advice always from Jonathan. You know. He doesn't

493
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: play the politics game. He plays the common sense game,

494
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: which is what we need to do with our money.

495
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Money doesn't have Democrat or Republican after it. And I'm

496
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: going to leave it at that. I have so much

497
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: more to get to, but right now I have to

498
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: get to a break. Michael Pelka, my name is sitting

499
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: in for my friend Buck Sexton on the Buck Sexton Show.

500
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka in for Sexton. On this day after Christmas

501
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: Boxing Day? Did you return anything? I did not, because

502
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: pretty much I only got a couple of things and

503
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: that's all I wanted. And I got what I wanted,

504
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: the sweater I wanted and the scarf I wanted and

505
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears socks that I wanted. I don't need

506
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 1: anything else. I already have enough junk. I have to

507
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: talk about some technology today and some fun stuff today.

508
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 1: We'll get to that next hour. And there is a

509
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: one day screening of a movie that I am going

510
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: to see tomorrow, and I will encourage you to go

511
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: see it too. But it's only happening one day, and

512
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be spectacular. From Peter Jackson,

513
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: the guy behind the Lord of the Rings movie, so

514
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: gives you an idea the kind of quality it should be.

515
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: But we'll dive into that a little bit later. I

516
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: also have to play something for you. It might be

517
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: the cringiest thing ever. I love the people who are

518
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: so so distracted by Donald Trump that they spend their

519
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: waking hours trying to do creative things to attack the president.

520
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 1: And this little montage from from some of the sufferers

521
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: of Trump Arrangements syndrome caught my ear today. I get

522
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm so, I'm smiling thinking about it. Get it speak correctly.

523
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: The Trump Arrangement syndrome choir and their little holiday music.

524
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: Wait a second, here, I am. I I'm in a

525
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: guest studio, so you have to forgive me. I push

526
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: the wrong button. Here's the Trump Arrangement syndrome choir. We

527
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: wish you a mother Christmas. We wish you a mother Christmas.

528
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: We wish you a mother Christmas. And impeachment next year.

529
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: You know. Kind of clever, right, little little bit of

530
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: a clever turn on some holiday classics. But then you

531
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: start hearing some of the other because they all did

532
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: this and then piled them up in one little montage.

533
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: We wish you a Molla Christmas, we wish you a

534
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: mothera Christmas, We wish you a Molla Christmas, and impeachment

535
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: next year. I wish they had Maxine Waters doing it,

536
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: because that would have been just an epic. I think

537
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: I have hold on a second. Yeah, let me go

538
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: to this point in this clip. It's about two minutes worth.

539
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: I won't give you all the bad singing, although there

540
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: certainly is a ton of it. But this guy, this

541
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: guy just made me smile and all year as we

542
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: know you're in bed with poutin. We know you're in

543
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: bed with pot because your treason is clear. You're how

544
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: do you not laugh at these people and they're all

545
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 1: smiling and their little faces, some of them their Santa

546
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: hats and holding up their doggies and singing the treason

547
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: it's clear. We wish you a mother Christmas. We wish

548
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: you a mother Christmas. We wish you Emo, Chris Smiths

549
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: and IMPEACHMD. It's just beautiful. Please sclap. I've tweeted out

550
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: a link to that. If you follow me on Twitter

551
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: at Stuntbright you can see it originally sent to me

552
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: by the very funny Kate Hyde, who is at Kate

553
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: Hyde of New York. Just a wonderful little turn, and

554
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: especially on a day where you have the President of

555
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: the United States pulling off a secret mission to go

556
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: visit the troops, and you have the stock market setting

557
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: a record the one time massive bounce over a thousand

558
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: points in one day. It's just a remarkable thing. All right,

559
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: busy first hour, even busier second and third hours coming up.

560
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: I did not get to the Women's March news. I

561
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: didn't get to the Obama Highway news, which there is

562
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: Obama Highway news here in Chicago. Let's just name all

563
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: the interstates Barack Obama, right, why not? Do you know,

564
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: forget that Dwight Eisenhower was the guy behind that. Let's

565
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: just call it all Obama because after all, the nothing

566
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: he did ever went wrong, ever fast and furious. I

567
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: could go on and on and on, but the beautiful

568
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: story here. Then there's also a question, did Barbie get heavy?

569
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I got a really strange question today about Barbie gaining weight.

570
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: Not that I have a Barbie doll collection. I'm not

571
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: Richard Simmons. He has one. He's got quite a few. Apparently.

572
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: We'll get into all this next on the Buck Sexton Show.

573
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: Come on back. It is not buck Sexton. It is

574
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: Michael Pela Bucks Buddy and my friend Buck Sexton having

575
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: a little bit of a holiday break. Mary. Christmas to you.

576
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: Hopefully you celebrated Christmas. If you didn't, you've already had

577
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: your holiday. If you celebrated Hanukkah, and that was a

578
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 1: while ago, a couple of weeks ago. Didn't run concurrently.

579
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: This year, we didn't have Chrismaca. This year we had

580
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Hankah first, then Christmas. Oh, I almost forgot. It's quanzall

581
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: happy first day of Quanza. No, not gonna get into

582
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: that again. Made up holiday. Yeah, I know a lot

583
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: of people it celebrates it the good things have African tradition. Well,

584
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 1: we're not. Let's not get into it. Christmas is about

585
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: the birth of Jesus, and as Mother Teresa taught us,

586
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: the joy of Christmas, the jays, Jesus, the always others

587
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: and the why. The last thing is you. And speaking

588
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: of Jesus, Alexandria Cazio Cortez, maybe you know a day

589
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: after she gets my agreement. I actually agreed with what

590
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: she said about shutting down the government and the people

591
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: who should be penalized first of the people who shut

592
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: it down, meaning the members of Congress, the House, and

593
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: the Senate should not be getting paid when they can't

594
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: get their act together and keep the government open. And

595
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: so you know, she's saying that those people shouldn't get paid.

596
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: What's the kind of funny part of this is in

597
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: just eight days, when the Democrats take over the House,

598
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: if the government's still shut down and she had her way,

599
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: she would not be getting paid. And she's the one

600
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: who said, well, I can hardly I can't get an

601
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: apartment in Washington, DC because I don't have enough money

602
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: and I'm only going to be baking one hundred and

603
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: seventy four thousand dollars a year, and I just thought

604
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 1: I won't be able to find an apartment. Give me

605
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: a break. But wouldn't it be ironic if the new

606
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: Congress said, if the government is shut down, the first

607
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 1: people who won't be paid are the people who made

608
00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: the shutdown happen. Then they'd keep the government open. And

609
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: let's not forget that it's not a government shutdown, something

610
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: like eighty eight percent of the government has already funded.

611
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: So people are getting paid and the people who might

612
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 1: even be getting a delayed payment will get paid. I

613
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: heard somebody at CNN talking about talking about the fact

614
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: that the Kennedy gift Shop at the Kennedy Museum was closed,

615
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: and she said, well, that means the person who works

616
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: in the gift shop, the kid who runs the cash

617
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: register at the gift shop, won't be getting there forty

618
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: to fifty thousand dollars year check. And I thought, wait,

619
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: wait a minute, the kid who runs the gift shop

620
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: is getting forty to fifty grand, a kid who is

621
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: a clerk, a retail clerk at a gift shop. If

622
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: we're paying people forty to fifty grand to be the

623
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: checkout clerk at the gift shop, do you need a

624
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 1: better example of why government does not need to be

625
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: involved in things like retail the waste of money. We'll

626
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: get into government waste of money. John Stossel, who I

627
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 1: just appreciate his journalistic skill so much, exposed a controversy

628
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: about government spending in New York that is just gonna

629
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: it'll make your blood boil. But back to what I

630
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: was saying about Alexandria Kazio Cortez. She tried to politicize

631
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: the death of this Guatemalan child, the Guatemalan child who

632
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: tragically passed away after mommy and daddy dragged the child

633
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: two thousand miles and the kid was so sick even

634
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: American medicine couldn't save the child's life. And Acazio Quartz

635
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: tried to Christmas and the birth of Jesus and the

636
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: celebration of the birth of Jesus and politicize it saying

637
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: that you know, Jesus and Mary and Joseph, they were

638
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: they were refugees coming to America. I guess she are

639
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: coming to Bethlehem, America. Hum she tried to put a

640
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: political spin on it and compare Jesus to the refugee

641
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: child who perished. And she's so wrong on this, because

642
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: if you read your Luke Gospel, I realized some of

643
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: the other gospels have a slightly different interpretation. But the

644
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: one that I've always followed is that that Joseph and

645
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: Mary had had to go for a census, and by

646
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: the time they got to Bethlehem there was no room

647
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: at the end, if you will, and so they took

648
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 1: the stable out back. But stop trying to politicize a

649
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: tragedy that obviously has no connection to the tragedy or

650
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: the politics. And also joining Alexandriacazio Cortez, a guy who

651
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: the Democrats have a lot of hopes resting on. Beto O'Rourke.

652
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: I want to call him Beto, so we can take

653
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson, beat it and do a parody. You know,

654
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 1: Beto Beto. You know, we could do something with Beto Beto,

655
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: but Beto Beto doesn't work. But Beto O'Rourke has already

656
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 1: tried to politicize the death of this child. This is

657
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 1: what he said today. Just tragic, and we're thinking about

658
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 1: his family right now, just what they must be feeling

659
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: to have lost their child on Christmas Day, to be

660
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: in a strange country, not to know what's next for them.

661
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: So we want to do everything we can to help

662
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: that family. I've reached out to Customs and Border Protection

663
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: to find out what happens and then what we can

664
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: do to be helpful to the family. I'm still waiting

665
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: to hear back from them. Yeah, you're going to politicize

666
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: this because you want to be president. You want to

667
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: run in twenty twenty, and so you're going to use

668
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: every ever you can to bring up the children. And

669
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: you know what's going to happen out of this. Here's

670
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 1: the other shame of what's going to happen out of this.

671
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: It's a horrible tragedy. This child died, and forever the

672
00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 1: parents will remember Christmas. Every time they celebrate Christmas, they're

673
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: going to think about their child who passed away. That

674
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: child had to be sick for some time. That child

675
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: probably was sick over the entire course of their travel

676
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: from Guatemala to the border in America. Really sick enough

677
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: to die at a young age. It's a horrible situation.

678
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: And as I said, mom and dad are going to

679
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 1: remember it forever. Every Christmas there'll be an empty chair.

680
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: But you know, there are millions of Americans, myself included,

681
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: my family included, who've lost relatives on holidays, and every

682
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: time that holiday comes around, it's hard not to think

683
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: about that person. My dad passed away two years ago today,

684
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: and Christmas is never the same when you lose a relative.

685
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: So to politicize this, I think is offensive. But here's

686
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: the other flip side of this, and Here's what I

687
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: want you to pay attention to, because I guarantee you're

688
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: going to see this happen. What happens now, What happens

689
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: now to all the people coming across the border, all

690
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: the people are demanding or asking for a style, And

691
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: not just the people who break through illegally, but the

692
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: people who go to the port of entry and fill

693
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: out the paperwork and then want to have their case

694
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: adjudicated before an immigration judge. What happens to them now?

695
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: Because of this situation and the tragedy of the child

696
00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: who died a couple of weeks ago, to children in

697
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: a month. Because of that, now we are going to

698
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: be giving physicals virtually to every person who comes in.

699
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: We used to check people at Ellis Island and the

700
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: East Coast when people came to America. On the East Coast,

701
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: we had the immigration processing station at Ellis Island where

702
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 1: everybody went through, and in the early part of the

703
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: twentieth century, because we were terrified of disease coming into

704
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: this country or people bringing horrible diseases to this country

705
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: east to kind of check them over and sometimes they'd

706
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 1: be sent back. So if you didn't have the right paperwork,

707
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: or your health was in question, you would not be

708
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: let off Ellis Island and onto the American mainland. You

709
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: would be sent home or you would maybe be put

710
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: in a clinic there if your problem was minor. But

711
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: now we're saying that the Customs and Border Patrol is

712
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: going to have have to basically become a medical facility

713
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,959
Speaker 1: and these people are going to be getting free physicals. Now,

714
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm all happy that we're going to try and

715
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: be good to people and take care of people, but

716
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: what about the people here? Now? Are we going to

717
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,320
Speaker 1: be able to say that that we should be giving

718
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: care to all those people too? Should everybody? This is

719
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: another plea for medicare for all, And they're going to

720
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: show you that people who are coming into the country

721
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: are going to have to be given physicals. So why

722
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: can't we be giving government physicals to everybody. It's a

723
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 1: very slippery slope, and they're using the tragedy of this

724
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: child to try to try and move their agenda forward

725
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 1: yet again, yet again. So I just I just get

726
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,319
Speaker 1: so angry when I see Democrats doing this. They're taking

727
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: a tragedy and politicizing it, and yet the people who

728
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: are being victimized by these insensitive bastards. They will get

729
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: no pushback. As a matter of fact, they'll be elevated.

730
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: So that's my little rant on the border. I'm totally

731
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: against this. And you know what this reminds me of.

732
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: I wonder if John has this queued up. There was

733
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: a time when Democrats did want the border protected because

734
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:39,280
Speaker 1: they realized that it was very expensive. It was really

735
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 1: expensive to just open the borders and let people in.

736
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: And it was back in the nineties that a senator,

737
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: a Democratic senator, railed against what was happening on the

738
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: borders in California, and in a debate as she was

739
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 1: running for election, she brought up the reality, the fiscal

740
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: reality of the borders. John, if you have the Diane

741
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: Feinstein clip, go ahead and roll it here. I think

742
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: we can enforce our borders. I think we should enforce

743
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: our borders. To have a situation where forty percent of

744
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: the baby's born on Medicaid in California today are born

745
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants creates a very real problem for the state,

746
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: which is in deficit finished of our prison population at

747
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,360
Speaker 1: a cost of three hundred million a year. The illegal

748
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: immigrants who come here and commit felonies. That's not what

749
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: this nation that will be twenty five years old next year.

750
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: That clip Diane Feinstein, a Democratic Senator, talking about the

751
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: fiscal impact and the impact that illegals make on the

752
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: economy in California. You think three hundred million was probably

753
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: drop in the bucket compared to the billions that are

754
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: being spent now, the billions in medical education, welfare, everything

755
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 1: that goes now in California. And the next thing that's

756
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: going to happen is the vote. So just to understand

757
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: that when a politician speaks left and right, they generally

758
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: are saying whatever they have to say to get you

759
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 1: to vote for them. Again, just throwing that out there, Feinstein,

760
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: all of them and make me angry. Michael Pelka is

761
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: sitting in for Buck Sexton. When we get back, I

762
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 1: bring good news, people of Earth. There is a study

763
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 1: that shows that alcohol and coffee can make you live

764
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: past ninety Alcohol and coffee, people of Earth. Good news.

765
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 1: And seventy percent of America had sex on Christmas Day.

766
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,479
Speaker 1: That's another one we have to get to and I'll

767
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: try and dig deep into that. Michael Pelca, As I said,

768
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: filling in for my friend Buck Sexton on the Buck

769
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: Sexton Show, Bake news, make news, make news, make make

770
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:24,879
Speaker 1: make news. Yes it is fake news. I got caught

771
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 1: dancing into the fake news theme. Michael pelc and for

772
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,560
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton on this day after Christmas, hope you had

773
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: a merry Christmas. Hope you're making plans for a big

774
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: new year, especially after a daylight we had today. You

775
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: should feel good about what's going on in the world.

776
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: You should feel good about I think the leadership that

777
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: was on display since the government shutdown, since the shutdown,

778
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: what is this day? Six now, since the government shutdown,

779
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: the person who said I will take the mantle, Donald

780
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: John Trump, stayed in DC. He was reportedly headed to

781
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: Mara Lago for sixteen days. That's what CNN kept saying,

782
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 1: sixteen days. He was going to go to Mara Lago

783
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: and play golf while the government sat shut down. Twenty

784
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: two percent of the government, so not really a big deal.

785
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: And as we talked about earlier, the part of the

786
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 1: government that actually pays people like the guy that runs

787
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: the gift shop for the Kennedy Museum. That guy was

788
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: going to get his fifty thousand dollars held back. Why

789
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: are we paying somebody a gift shop fifty grand. I

790
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,320
Speaker 1: really want to know more about that story. But this

791
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 1: is so irritating to me. I'm I'll get over it,

792
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: I know. But Donald Trump did not leave the White House,

793
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,839
Speaker 1: and he tweeted up and down all over since then.

794
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: He even sat with the First Lady and they took

795
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 1: calls from kids who were waiting for Santa and wanting

796
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: to track stuff. And there was more fake news about that.

797
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: Did you see that story? That story needs to be

798
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: explained as well. The President and the First Lady, for

799
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,720
Speaker 1: the second year in a row, sat and took phone

800
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: calls from kids who were wanting to track Santa Claus.

801
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: And the President talked to one seven year old and

802
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:35,360
Speaker 1: the media lost its mind, absolutely lost their mind because

803
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:40,919
Speaker 1: Donald Trump talking to this kid, said do you still

804
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: believe in Santa? Because it's seven? It's marginal, right, And

805
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 1: the media went absolutely banana bat crap crazy. I think

806
00:51:52,880 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: I've got it here. We'll marry Christmas. So the President

807
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 1: and the First later sit in front of a fire.

808
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 1: Somebody screened a bunch of calls from kids calling Santa.

809
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: And this is a young girl seven years old named

810
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: Cole Coleman and the President says, Merry Christmas, Coleman and

811
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: the kids, you know, answering and being very polite. The

812
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: the media finally got the audio from the other side

813
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 1: of the conversation, but this is what ticked them off

814
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: so badly. How are you? How are you? How are

815
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:44,040
Speaker 1: you going? That's good? What a horrible man asking a child?

816
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 1: Are you doing good in school? What a question? Yeah? Yeah,

817
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: he asked. How he's showing parental concern the kids talking

818
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: about Santa? But now cookies, Well, you just so what

819
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:14,759
Speaker 1: you can't hear because the idiots in the press corps

820
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: who keep taking pictures and don't the cameras have silent mode.

821
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: You can put your camera in silent mode. And do

822
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: you need fifty thousand pictures of the president doing the

823
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: same thing he's talking on the phone anyway, he said,

824
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,320
Speaker 1: do you still believe in Santa? Because it's it's marginal

825
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 1: at seven? Right, The media lost their mind. Kid didn't

826
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: know what marginal meant. Everybody just calmed down. But we've

827
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 1: got more on the President doing good things in the

828
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: fake news media trying to destroy him. Coming up next

829
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 1: on The Buck Section Show with Michael Pelka, Hanging Out

830
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: with You come on back. Well, Buck does stop occasionally,

831
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: like for holidays Or's birthday, which I think I think

832
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 1: it's coming up Friday. I think Buck Sexton's birthday is

833
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 1: this Friday. So we have to plan a special Buck

834
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 1: Sexton birthday. What do you get the guy who has everything.

835
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: He's got a TV show, he's got a radio show,

836
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:27,799
Speaker 1: he's got that hair. Maybe you get him. I know

837
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: what you could get Buck Sexton. And this sounds like

838
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: a suck up, and it is. You could download the

839
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,399
Speaker 1: podcast for that day. That would be a good thing.

840
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: You could download the podcast today, you know, because of me.

841
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: Michael Pelca hanging out in the Chicago Free Speech Bunker,

842
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: the original home of the Puro Pelca Free Speech Bunker

843
00:54:55,840 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: here in Chicago, Illinois. Happy to be here celebrate the

844
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:07,439
Speaker 1: holidays with my family. And boy, what a day. We

845
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: woke up this morning and everybody was gonna we got

846
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: to go back to work after Christmas. We had the

847
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: horrible downturn in the market for the last few weeks,

848
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: and that don't have the stock market jump one thousand

849
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: and eighty three points today, an all time record. Amazing.

850
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: We talked to Jonathan Honig, the Capitalist Pig about it

851
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: last hour, and he was explaining that this is this

852
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: is a good thing, but don't think we are out

853
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: of the woods just yet. Don't think it's all clear.

854
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: Because the economy has been so good for so long

855
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: that we have to make sure that all the fundamentals

856
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: stay fundamentally strong. And we had a great retail Christmas.

857
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: You saw people like Walmart have a spike. You saw Amazon,

858
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,920
Speaker 1: which so a lot of retail business have a spike,

859
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: and we hope those fundamentals stay strong. The President reportedly

860
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,720
Speaker 1: going to meet with the FED chairman when he gets

861
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: back from his surprise visit to the troops, and maybe

862
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: we'll have a little bit of a change in the

863
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: FED policy. I don't think I don't think so the Fed.

864
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 1: The FED was very aggressive this year trying to keep

865
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: inflation in control, and they seem to have done that.

866
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: And they've also said that next year, maybe two increases

867
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 1: in the prime lending rate. We saw four this year,

868
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: and that contributed somewhat to the slowdown in the market.

869
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: But the market also is the market. Nothing goes up forever.

870
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: So getting back to why the President won't meet with

871
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: the FED chair until he gets back, because he went

872
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:56,839
Speaker 1: to Iraq in a super secret mission, and I was

873
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 1: listening to some of his remarks to the troops while

874
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: he was there. Let me give you just a little

875
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 1: sample of what the President said while he was with

876
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: our troops in Iraq surprise visit. America. Shouldn't be doing

877
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: the fighting for every nation on Earth, not being reimbursed

878
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: in many cases at all. If they want us to

879
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: do the fighting, they also have to pay a price,

880
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: and sometimes that's also a monetary price. So we're not

881
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: the suckers of the world. See, I don't mind this.

882
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends who are uber liberals are

883
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: upset with the president's tone. He went to visit the troops,

884
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: he shook hands, he took pictures, he hung out, and

885
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: then he gave a little speech. He laid out some policy.

886
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 1: And I don't mind that at all. I don't mind

887
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: the President of the United States saying, yeah, we're strong,

888
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: and we'll try and take care of people and help

889
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: people where we can, but you know, we don't want

890
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: to be suckers. I think he was just fine. He

891
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: added a little more, We're no longer the suckers, folks,

892
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: and people aren't looking at us as suckers, and I

893
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: love you folks because most of you are nodding your

894
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 1: head this way. We're respected again. As a nation. We're

895
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: respected again. America is safer and pieces more possible because

896
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: of the incredible courage and devotion of every patriot here tonight.

897
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 1: Some people say, well, maybe somebody comes from the area

898
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: and they hit us on our homeland. If that happens,

899
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: they will suffer consequences over here like nobody has ever

900
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: suffered before. I don't mind that either. I don't mind

901
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: the President of the United States telling our troops that

902
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: if somebody comes and tries to do what was done

903
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,520
Speaker 1: to us on September eleventh, that we will come back

904
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,840
Speaker 1: and we will deliver a punch that is going to

905
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: make anyone else think twice. Donald Trump's a counterpuncher. He's

906
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: always said he was a counterpuncher, but this was this

907
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun, all right. A little bit

908
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: more from the President, and I hope they hear that

909
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 1: loud and clear. And that's not a threat. That's going

910
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: to be a fact if anything should happen at all. Nope,

911
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: that's that's not a threat, that's a fact. But he

912
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 1: will ever have suffered the consequences that they will suffer.

913
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 1: Just remember I said it. We will honor You're welcome.

914
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: You're welcome. We will honor your service by doing everything

915
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: in our power to defend our homeland and to stop

916
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: terrors from entering America shores. And he's going to deliver

917
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a message about the wall, and

918
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: I like the too, and that includes strengthening of our borders.

919
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if your folks are aware of what's happening.

920
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: We want to have strong borders in the United States,

921
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 1: and Democrats don't want to let us have strong voters

922
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: only for one reason, you know why, because I want it.

923
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: He's not wrong. We played the clip from Diane Feinstein

924
01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: from nineteen ninety four where she talked about America protecting

925
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: its borders and why we need to do it. We've

926
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: played clips from Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Hillary

927
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,439
Speaker 1: Clinton who all talked about and Barack Obama the need

928
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: for strong borders. They've all voted for wall funding. But

929
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: the only reason they don't want it now, the main

930
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: reason is because of who's in the White House. If

931
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: I said, you know, I think just standing here, look

932
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: at it, all these brilliant young faces. These warriors. You warriors,

933
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: you know you're modern day warriors. That's what you want.

934
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: But you gave me an idea. Just look at it,

935
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 1: this warrior group. I think I'll say I don't want

936
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:09,919
Speaker 1: the wall, and then they're going to give it to me.

937
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: I figured out the solution first late. Yeah, he's gonna

938
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: use a little reverse psychology. I love the fact that

939
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the president went to Iraq again. They pulled this off.

940
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: I would love to get some inside perspective on this,

941
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and maybe we will in the last hour to give

942
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 1: you an idea of just what it takes to pull

943
01:01:32,240 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: off this mission and how much planning. Dana Perino said

944
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: it was at least six weeks. Six weeks and they

945
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 1: had to get all of the people who were involved

946
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: in the pool, the pool reporters who would be going

947
01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:54,600
Speaker 1: with to agree to be quiet the entire time. The

948
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 1: fact that nothing leaked spectacular just amazing. The fact that

949
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:03,440
Speaker 1: the press is they're even more spectacular. But again, the

950
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 1: fun part of this is looking at what MSNBC and

951
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:13,720
Speaker 1: the Huffington Post and other outlets have done just today

952
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: talking about the fact that this was the first time

953
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: any president since two thousand and two did not visit

954
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: the troops. This is this is just a wonderful bit

955
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: of schadenfreude to see these people being dragged through their

956
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: own words. And I know, I know I'm not supposed

957
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: to do it, but I'm reveling in seeing what idiots

958
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: they turned out to be. All Right, we talked about idiots.

959
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 1: Now we need to talk about some incredible people. I

960
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 1: do have another idiot. To get to him, we will,

961
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,280
Speaker 1: we will get to the idiot who is Hank Johnson,

962
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: because that relates to the border story. And we got

963
01:02:58,040 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: to go back to the border story a little bit.

964
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: But I want to get into a story, a good

965
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: story about somebody who understands the real meaning of Christmas,

966
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,439
Speaker 1: someone who understands the meaning of sacrifice. I'm talking about

967
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: a young man. And again, I give the millennials a

968
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: hard time all the time. I'm sorry if you are

969
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: a good millennial, but there are so many of your

970
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 1: kind who gave us the man Bun and some of

971
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: the other hipster crap that's out there. But in the

972
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 1: case of Brady's singer, he was the eighteenth person taken

973
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: in the recent Major League Baseball Draft, and he was

974
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: a guy who a pitcher has yet to make it

975
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: into the big leagues, but he signed a deal with

976
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Royals. He got a four point five

977
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: million dollars signing bonus. And what did Brady Singer do

978
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: with a signing bonus. Well, a letter that he wrote

979
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 1: to his mom and dad explains everything. And you've probably

980
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 1: seen it this because it's all over the media, but

981
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: it's just spectacular. This is mom reading the letter from

982
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: their child. Dear Mom and Dad, I just want to

983
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: say thank you for everything you've done to help me

984
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: reach my dreams from Woodley Field to Comton State. There's

985
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 1: actually no way I could have done all this by myself.

986
01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: Both of you constantly took off of work and spent

987
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 1: every dining day just to put my face my small

988
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 1: appreciation for both of you has never stopped in it

989
01:04:33,440 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: never will. I will always remember traveling around Forward for baseball,

990
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,439
Speaker 1: trying to chiefly eat and save money, but I never

991
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 1: could because you both always wanted me to have the

992
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:47,440
Speaker 1: best stuff to help me pursue my dream. So that story,

993
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 1: just that part of the story is gut wrenching enough

994
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,440
Speaker 1: and it makes your eyes water. I know I've got

995
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: a little tear in my eye as this mom talks

996
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: about their kid realizing everything they did from Little League

997
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: to now Kaufman Stadium, where the Royals will play if

998
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,439
Speaker 1: he makes the team, and he probably will. The kid's

999
01:05:09,440 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: a pretty good picture, but this letter, this letter explains

1000
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: that he gets what mom and dad have done and

1001
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: what so many moms and dads everywhere due for the kids.

1002
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: They do everything they can to make their kids have

1003
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: an incredible life. And now comes the gift. Let's film

1004
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: traveling at dear hotel, food and all those gayways I

1005
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: drank is much more than I could ever give you.

1006
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: But there's something I want to get to you. She's

1007
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: a little stunned at what she's reading and the kid

1008
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: is videotaping this. I am paying off the loom from

1009
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: the bank. Also, I paid off all your dad as well.

1010
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: What now Instead of trying to say money every weekend

1011
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 1: to replace the same as account you drained on towns

1012
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: the place, you can stick it on yourselves because you

1013
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: deserve the very best. I want you both to know

1014
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: how much I appreciate you and how none of this

1015
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: would be possible with does you're giving hearts help to

1016
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: shape my tiny dream into a reality. I love you

1017
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 1: both more than you could ever imagine and will never

1018
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: forget what you both have done. Ellet amazing, amazing, a

1019
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: young man on the cusp of success as a pro athlete.

1020
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: And we've seen it before, kids who buying their moms homes,

1021
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 1: but this is the moment when you get to see

1022
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: the parents' reaction. It's a great Christmas gift. If you

1023
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, I've tweeted on the link to Brady's singer.

1024
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: It's b Singer fifty one on the Twitter. You should

1025
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: see it. Well done, sir, Well done. Michael pelc and

1026
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: for Buck Sexton. On The Buck Sexton Show, we got

1027
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: more of the politics and we're gonna put some fun

1028
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: at the media for the dumb things they did in

1029
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. We'll dive into some of that next on

1030
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: The Buck Sexton Show. Michael Palcan for Buck Sexton. Buck

1031
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: is taking a little pet, a little personal time, and

1032
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: he's got a birthday coming up this Friday. I have

1033
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: no idea where he's going to be for his birthday,

1034
01:07:17,840 --> 01:07:20,000
Speaker 1: so don't ask me. I don't think there's a big party,

1035
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, Buck, He'll do it quietly. I'm sure among

1036
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: the millions in NYC. If he were in Chicago, I

1037
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: would invite him to join me tonight. This was the

1038
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: weirdest thing I'm in Chicago, as I've mentioned before, hanging

1039
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: out with family and a few friends and staying at

1040
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 1: a hotel because I don't want any member of the

1041
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 1: family to feel jealous that I didn't stay stay at

1042
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: their house, so I just try and you know, don't

1043
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: show favorites. Also like hotels a lot. And I got

1044
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:58,440
Speaker 1: up this morning and under the door of my hotel

1045
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 1: were two tickets to a concert that's going on tonight,

1046
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wait a minute, what is this? And

1047
01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: I look down in big bold letters on the ticket

1048
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: or bon Jovi, the Scorpions, Deaf Leopard and Poison. I'm thinking, wow,

1049
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 1: that's a big show, a tribute to eighties medal bon Jovi,

1050
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: the Scorpions, def Leopard and Poison. And something then is

1051
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 1: wrong with this, obviously, something very wrong with this. When

1052
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,760
Speaker 1: you realize the word tribute, this means this is a

1053
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: bunch of tribute bands. So it's not gonna be like

1054
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,879
Speaker 1: Deaf Leopard. It's gonna be like Fred Leopard or something,

1055
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: or Band Jovi. It won't be bon Jovis. This is

1056
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: a tribute bands. But why were these put under my door?

1057
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 1: Why have I been given a pair of tickets to

1058
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:58,719
Speaker 1: an eighties hair band extravagance. I'm not going needless to say,

1059
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:04,040
Speaker 1: but somebody will. I will get to the mainstream media's

1060
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: most embarrassing moments of the year. But I have to

1061
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: give you something that irritated me. We talked about politicizing

1062
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 1: tragedy and how Alexandria Kazu Cortez and Beto O'Rourke have

1063
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: already tried to do it. But Hank Johnson, congressman from

1064
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: the fourth District in Georgia, was trying to make a

1065
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: point with Secretary Nielsen, Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen last week

1066
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 1: when this exchange happened. How many children seventeen years old

1067
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 1: or younger have died in DHS ice or CBP custody

1068
01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: since you took office. I will get back to you

1069
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,400
Speaker 1: on that figure. What I can tell you is that

1070
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 1: we have saved four thousand, two hundred migrants who were

1071
01:09:50,160 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: out distressed. You literally, how many have died? I understand

1072
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 1: your question, stir, I will get back to you. Can

1073
01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 1: you give me an approximate figure. I will get back

1074
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: to you. I'm not going to guess on I love

1075
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 1: Nielsen for saying this. I'm not going to give you

1076
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: an approximate, sir, not under oath. And this guy's just

1077
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: looking for some sort of gotcha moment, because that's what

1078
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: these hearings are about, both left and right. But this

1079
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,760
Speaker 1: guy's adult. If you don't know who Hank Johnson is,

1080
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,720
Speaker 1: he keeps getting reelected, especially after saying idiotic things like

1081
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:27,879
Speaker 1: this about Guam. My fear is that the whole island

1082
01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: will become so overly populated that it will tip over

1083
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: and cap size. We don't anticipate that. The Guam population

1084
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: I think currently about one hundred and seventy five. I

1085
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: love this admiral, just trying to give an answer to

1086
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: this idiot. What's dumber though, Hank Johnson, the guy who

1087
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: thinks Guam could flip over, or the people who keep

1088
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: reelecting him. Michael Pelkin from Johnson, Buck Johnson? Who's he?

1089
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,679
Speaker 1: Buck Sexton? Come on back? It is the Buck Sexton Show.

1090
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: Michael Pelka sitting in for my friend Buck Sexton. Merry

1091
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Christmas to you and yours. Hope you're ramping up for

1092
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: New Year's to the two of you in the country

1093
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: celebrating a happy quanza. You know, first day of quanza

1094
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: started nineteen sixty six. What a I'm not going to

1095
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: get into it. I have breaking news. Donald Trump lands

1096
01:11:31,400 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: at US base in Germany for refueling plans to meet

1097
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: troops station there. So not only did the President surprise

1098
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 1: us with a trip to Iraq and the visit with

1099
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 1: the troops, the President and the First Lady and their

1100
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: contingent have now landed in Germany and there will be

1101
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,080
Speaker 1: another stop and another visit with the troops. I think

1102
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: that's spectacular and it's another finger in the eye of

1103
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: MSNBC NBC, The Huffington Post a Lissa Milano, my old

1104
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: buddy Mantel Williams, who all were crowing about this president

1105
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 1: hasn't visited the troops, the first president since two thousand

1106
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 1: and two not to visit the troops. Well we've changed

1107
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: that one, haven't we. So good for you, mister president.

1108
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: Good for you. And also today what a remarkable day

1109
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:34,679
Speaker 1: the president seeing the market sort of rebound. Now will

1110
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 1: the stock market continue? Is this the base? Did we

1111
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: finally have a bottom in the market that we saw

1112
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:49,600
Speaker 1: firm up today. A thousand point jump today, one thousand

1113
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: point rise, a record setting in any single day. This

1114
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:57,040
Speaker 1: is the most and it's got to be killing people

1115
01:12:57,040 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 1: who were counting on the market. And imagine people for

1116
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: the stock market to tank, Imagine people there are because

1117
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: there are people who dislike this president so much that

1118
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: they want the stock market to take a giant dump

1119
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: and basically kill the retirement of so many millions of Americans.

1120
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: Just insanity, But that's where we are with Trump arrangement syndrome.

1121
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 1: So I hope this is the sign the markets firming up.

1122
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: If you read the Wall Street Journal, and you should,

1123
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 1: by the way, it's not just about the stock market.

1124
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 1: I think some of the stuff in the Wall Street

1125
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 1: Journal is the best reporting on every topic you could want,

1126
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: from movies, food and just crazy stories that you never

1127
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: hear about in mainstream media. But the market. It is

1128
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 1: a reflection of what we read about in the Wall

1129
01:13:54,479 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 1: Street Journal the last couple of days, saying that the

1130
01:13:56,720 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: retail environment is so strong, the underlying fundamentals of the

1131
01:14:01,920 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: retail environment were driving a lot of what happened on

1132
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: Wall Street today. So good, good for you, Wall Street,

1133
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: Good for you. American economy and ha ha to all

1134
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 1: the people who are pooh pooing what America's economy is doing.

1135
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: So I'm very happy about that. By the way, there

1136
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 1: are pictures coming out now and this has got to

1137
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: kill CNN too. CNN is being forced to show troops

1138
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:34,839
Speaker 1: bringing Trump hats to have the President signed their hats.

1139
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:40,040
Speaker 1: But what does CNN do instead of focusing on the

1140
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 1: fact that the President made this giant secret trip to

1141
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 1: the Middle East to Iraq to support our troops and

1142
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:53,639
Speaker 1: have the First Lady with him, And they're showing pictures

1143
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 1: of the troops holding up the hats that they brought,

1144
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,560
Speaker 1: the make America Great hats, the red hats you know

1145
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: we're talking about, and he's signing some of the hats

1146
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 1: for some of these soldiers, volunteers, I might remind you,

1147
01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 1: people who are away from their families, their wives, their girlfriends,

1148
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:16,759
Speaker 1: their boyfriends, their babies, putting their butts on the line.

1149
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 1: And what does CNN focus on. Donald Trump made his

1150
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:26,440
Speaker 1: first visit to a war zone, received an enthusiastic reception,

1151
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: and some of these soldiers may have violated military rules

1152
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: by asking the President to sign their Trump hats. What

1153
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: is wrong with you, CNN, You are a giant Agua

1154
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: Fiesta says we used to call people in Texas. You

1155
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:51,799
Speaker 1: are a giant wet blanket. Presidents signing Make America Great

1156
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 1: Again hats an embroidered patch that reads twenty twenty. Will

1157
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: the DoD actually get upset about this? He's your president,

1158
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: he's their commander, and you've already got retired Rear Admiral

1159
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:16,679
Speaker 1: John Kirby, who was on CNN all the time saying,

1160
01:16:17,479 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: this is a campaign slogan, it's a campaign item. It's

1161
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 1: completely inappropriate for troops to do this. Give me a break.

1162
01:16:29,680 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: I rolled my eyes so far back I saw my

1163
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: own brain when I read this. Thank you Kirby, you

1164
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: toad and CNN. Is this transitions into my take on

1165
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:50,560
Speaker 1: the mainstream media. The mainstream media in twenty eighteen embarrass themselves,

1166
01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:56,839
Speaker 1: embarrass themselves beyond belief. And so I combed through my files,

1167
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,600
Speaker 1: my audio files to find what I considered me the

1168
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: tip five most embarrassing moments of the mainstream media from

1169
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,960
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, and I compiled them here for you, and

1170
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: I will count them backwards from number five to number

1171
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: one for you, and maybe even do it in Casey

1172
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,719
Speaker 1: case in fashion is the late Casey Casum would have done.

1173
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 1: I made a fortune counting backwards. So you may disagree

1174
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: with me, you may agree with me, but we will

1175
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: focus on the mainstream media. I will get to wag

1176
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: my finger at them and say, shame on you, you toads.

1177
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: So coming in at number five is the mainstream media

1178
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: says obsession with what they believe are bombshell reports that

1179
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,920
Speaker 1: they hope will sink the president. Here's number five, a

1180
01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: bombshell report. This is a bombshell, This is a bombshell.

1181
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,799
Speaker 1: This bombshell dropped the bombshell, and the dropped the bombshell,

1182
01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: the bombshell. That's a bombshell. Now this latest bombshell out

1183
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:05,760
Speaker 1: that bombshow accusation, bombshell accusation? That was the bombshell I

1184
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:10,919
Speaker 1: could have used in conjunction with bombshell. Also, the walls

1185
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 1: are caving in or this is the beginning of the end.

1186
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many times bombshell report was

1187
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,960
Speaker 1: joined by the walls are caving in or the beginning

1188
01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: of the end. And yet here we are two years

1189
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: into the presidency. And some of those came from early

1190
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, right after the inauguration, a bombshell report, another

1191
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 1: Bombshow well, if you thought that was an embarrassing moment,

1192
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,920
Speaker 1: the mainstream media was tripping all over itself all last

1193
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: year to try and elevate the status of one of

1194
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,640
Speaker 1: the weasleyest characters I think I've ever seen in the

1195
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 1: political spectrum, the guy who managed to corral Stormy Daniels

1196
01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:02,240
Speaker 1: and represent her in her efforts to go after Donald Trump,

1197
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 1: and then he also tried to take down Judge Kavanaugh

1198
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 1: before he became Justice Kavanaugh. Of course, I'm talking about

1199
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: the one, the only, the super slimy Michael Avanati. So

1200
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: coming in at number four and the media's most embarrassing

1201
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:25,519
Speaker 1: moments of twenty eighteen, here's the Abanati factor. Hid your children,

1202
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: hid your loved ones. You know. My first guest tonight

1203
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: from television, please welcome Michael Avanati. Joining me now is

1204
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 1: Froming Daniels attorney, Michael Avanti. Michael Avanati is with us now.

1205
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Michael Avanati joins us now. Now we've got the man

1206
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: who put her in front of the cameras, her attorney,

1207
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:44,919
Speaker 1: Michael Avanati, and join I mean now from Los Angeles

1208
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:49,679
Speaker 1: is Michael Avanati. Michael Avanati, Michael the guy was given

1209
01:19:49,800 --> 01:19:56,240
Speaker 1: more free media time by every single liberal outlet, everyone,

1210
01:19:57,080 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: and it was relentless. As long as he could fight

1211
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 1: some kind of smear that they could slap on the president,

1212
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:08,599
Speaker 1: they were willing to forgive whatever Michael Avenati was really

1213
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: all about. And after the Kavanaugh stuff, I think that

1214
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 1: was his downfall. We hear reportedly Avanati had to sell

1215
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,519
Speaker 1: his ferrari in order to pay off his considerable debts.

1216
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: And then there were the allegations of domestic abuse. So

1217
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't know where those stand right now, so it

1218
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,679
Speaker 1: won't comment on those. But the fact that this guy

1219
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:37,040
Speaker 1: went from slimy lawyer to actual twenty twenty Democratic possible

1220
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: nominee is beyond embarrassing to the mainstream media. But that

1221
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 1: was only number four. Moving up a notch to number

1222
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:53,400
Speaker 1: three is the relentless character assassination that the mainstream media

1223
01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:57,280
Speaker 1: tried to slap on the President of the United States.

1224
01:20:57,360 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 1: And it really was relentless. It was it was ridiculous,

1225
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: It was non stop. They went after every single kind

1226
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: of slam or insult they could. And so at number

1227
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:14,840
Speaker 1: three for twenty eighteenth most embarrassing Moments, from the mainstream media.

1228
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 1: Here's the media attacking the president. It's obviously racist, he's

1229
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,839
Speaker 1: obviously demagogue. He obviously condones anti Semitism. That's what happened

1230
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,840
Speaker 1: in Nazi Germany. It's not even a question of whether

1231
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:30,680
Speaker 1: it's presidential behavior or not. It's not minimally human behavior.

1232
01:21:30,720 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 1: This has now become a struggle about good versus evil,

1233
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:38,599
Speaker 1: and the President of the United States is evil. Howard Dean.

1234
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 1: The last voice you heard there was former DNC chair

1235
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: and governor Howard Dean calling the President of the United

1236
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 1: States evil. And as you hear that, as you are

1237
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:57,080
Speaker 1: hearing that news, the president is on a very difficult trip.

1238
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: He and the First Lady took from the United States

1239
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 1: to Iraq to visit our troops, and then now they're

1240
01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 1: in Germany refueling, stopping and visiting the troops again after

1241
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: they spent time working all through the Christmas holiday, while

1242
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 1: Chuck and Nancy Chancy as we call them, and all

1243
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 1: the Democrats went home, and Howard Dean, the guy who

1244
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:26,839
Speaker 1: remembers scuttled his own political career with this scream after

1245
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: a win. I think in Iowa that primal scream killed

1246
01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 1: Howard Dean's political career, and now he's out there saying

1247
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:40,799
Speaker 1: the President of the United States is the evil evil.

1248
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,000
Speaker 1: But you know what the media considers now worse than

1249
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: President Trump. This is remarkable to me, the mainstream media

1250
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: and the second most embarrassing moments from twenty eighteen. It's

1251
01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 1: in a montage where we had the mainstream media deciding,

1252
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 1: if they can't have a bombshell walls caving in beginning

1253
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:07,480
Speaker 1: of the end attack on the president, if Michael Avanadi

1254
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:11,520
Speaker 1: can't bring him down, if they can't call him a racist, misogynist,

1255
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,639
Speaker 1: whatever else they called him, If that can't bring him down,

1256
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 1: then they have to turn their laser weapons on you

1257
01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 1: and I are anyone who voted for the president. The

1258
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 1: second most embarrassing moment in the media, the mainstream media

1259
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen, to least for me, was when the

1260
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 1: media decided that you and I were the problem. At

1261
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:42,959
Speaker 1: number two, here's the mainstream media embarrassing itself by calling

1262
01:23:43,080 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 1: us Trump voters evil. We can no longer say Trump's

1263
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:50,840
Speaker 1: the bad guy. If you vote for Trump, you're the

1264
01:23:50,880 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: bad guy. Tens of millions of people voted for him.

1265
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: Are you suggesting that they're racist? Or there. Yes, the

1266
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: people who vote all the people who vote for truer. Yes,

1267
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 1: if you vote for Trump, then you the voter, You

1268
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:10,000
Speaker 1: not Donald Trump, are standing at the border like Nazis.

1269
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:14,959
Speaker 1: Those people who are supporting what he's doing here are racist,

1270
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:21,799
Speaker 1: period period. Thank you meathead. That was Rob Reiner, director

1271
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 1: Rob Reiner, saying that anybody who voted for Donald Trump

1272
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:30,599
Speaker 1: is racist, period. Second most embarrassing group of media moments

1273
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: from twenty eighteen. We'll get the number one just around

1274
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: the corner. But first I need to tell you about

1292
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 1: going to bring you prosperity and joy and happiness. We've

1293
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,639
Speaker 1: been talking about all the news of the day, including

1294
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: the breaking news of the President's surprise trip to the

1295
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 1: troops in Iraq and now in Germany, and just the

1296
01:26:08,520 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: remarkable day on Wall Street with the record setting bump

1297
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 1: of a thousand and eighty three points. Today huge and

1298
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 1: last break. We were beginning our countdown of the top

1299
01:26:22,040 --> 01:26:27,360
Speaker 1: five most embarrassing moments in the media of twenty eighteen,

1300
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: and there have been a lot, but we had a

1301
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: montage of the mainstream media obsessed with saying a bombshell

1302
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:38,480
Speaker 1: report about Donald Trump, a bombshell from the mullarca bombshell,

1303
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: And then we heard about the way they constantly talk

1304
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:45,639
Speaker 1: about the beginning of the end, and the walls are

1305
01:26:45,680 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: closing in and this is all falling apart. It's just

1306
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: a maddening And at number four was Michael Levanatti the

1307
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: elevation of this. He would be what we would have

1308
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:01,679
Speaker 1: called an ambulance chaser in the past, an attorney who

1309
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: just chases up sleazy cases. And he actually was given

1310
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 1: serious consideration as a twenty twenty presidential candidate for the Democrats,

1311
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 1: saying he's got to be the guy who's not afraid

1312
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. And a number three the mainstream it

1313
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: is constant denigration of the president, saying he's a racist, misogynist,

1314
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:27,920
Speaker 1: all the stuff that just doesn't have any backup to it.

1315
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:32,439
Speaker 1: Number two, the mainstream media went after you and went

1316
01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:36,919
Speaker 1: after me because they couldn't take down the president. Their

1317
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: attacks were falling short, so now they focused on isolating

1318
01:27:42,160 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: you and I and saying that anybody who voted for

1319
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was a racist. This is pure Saul Olinsky.

1320
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,479
Speaker 1: Go and get Rules for Radicals and over the break

1321
01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 1: reread Rules for Radicals. You'll see how the left uses

1322
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 1: all this perfect Olinsky tactics. At least they're trying to

1323
01:28:03,120 --> 01:28:06,480
Speaker 1: use it that way. But the number one most offensive

1324
01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 1: media moment came from a CNN host who I watch

1325
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: just because I want to see how ridiculous he is

1326
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:19,919
Speaker 1: and I want to call him out when his Bravo

1327
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: Sierra needs to be called out. And so this is

1328
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:29,439
Speaker 1: my number one pick for the mainstream media's most embarrassing

1329
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 1: moment of twenty eighteen. It comes from a guy who

1330
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:36,479
Speaker 1: has his own show and is paid just a ton

1331
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 1: of money to host a nightly show on CNN. It

1332
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,719
Speaker 1: comes from the one and only Don Lemon at number

1333
01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:48,879
Speaker 1: one with the most embarrassing media moment of twenty eighteen.

1334
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: Here's Don Lemon. The biggest terror threat in this country

1335
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: is white men. Most of them radicalize to the right,

1336
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 1: and we have to start doing something about them. Wait

1337
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:07,719
Speaker 1: what bla blah blah blah. The most the biggest threat

1338
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: to America is white men. Radicalized white men is the

1339
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,200
Speaker 1: biggest threat and most of them have been radicalized, and

1340
01:29:17,439 --> 01:29:20,960
Speaker 1: that we have to do something about them. What what?

1341
01:29:20,960 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 1: What would you have us do? Don Lemon? What would

1342
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,200
Speaker 1: you have us do? This? I remind you of the

1343
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: same down Lemon, who on New Year's Eve gets hammered

1344
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:38,280
Speaker 1: on CNN. Gone gone again, Man, you look very handsome.

1345
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 1: Happy New Year to go. Hey, we hope so. Don

1346
01:29:42,920 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: Lemon's hammered on CNN every New Year's Eve and he

1347
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:48,880
Speaker 1: gets to do his job while he's drunk, and he's

1348
01:29:48,920 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 1: allowed to say that the biggest problem in America are

1349
01:29:52,400 --> 01:29:58,560
Speaker 1: the white males. Something to remember about Don Lemon. His

1350
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:04,759
Speaker 1: boyfriend who we met last year is a white male.

1351
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: Don Lemon, are you doing something about that? It's so embarrassing.

1352
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:14,839
Speaker 1: I gotta take a break. Come on back, Michael Pelka

1353
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 1: and for Buck Sexton on The Buck Sexton Show. And

1354
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,439
Speaker 1: I'm holding the line for Buck. Michael Pelka is back

1355
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: for Buck, who's got a little break going on leading

1356
01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 1: up to his birthday Friday. Good for you, Happy birthday, Buck,

1357
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:34,320
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to you, Merry Christmas to everybody, and hopefully

1358
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,520
Speaker 1: the new year will bring us more of the feelings

1359
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: we had today. Today was a terrific day. Day after Christmas,

1360
01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,839
Speaker 1: back to work, dreading what could be? You know, another

1361
01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: bad day on Wall Street and we have a record setter.

1362
01:30:49,080 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: We had a miraculous day today and then the news

1363
01:30:52,280 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 1: of the President going to visit our troops overseas in

1364
01:30:56,000 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: a secret mission, and now after visiting the troops in

1365
01:31:01,120 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 1: iraqis in Germany. So a great day, a great day

1366
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 1: all around for America. So God bless us and thank you,

1367
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 1: thank you. It's important to be thankful. I realized that

1368
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: more and more, and it doesn't cost you anything to

1369
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: be thankful and grateful. I mentioned earlier a couple of

1370
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 1: things that caught my eye, and I've been yammering on

1371
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 1: some topics for so long, I don't know if I'll

1372
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: get to everything. But I did say that alcohol and

1373
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:32,600
Speaker 1: coffee can help you live past ninety according to a

1374
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:38,320
Speaker 1: new study. Researchers say they found people who drink moderate

1375
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 1: amounts of beer or wine along with two cups of

1376
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: coffee increased their chances for a longer life. So you

1377
01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 1: can have a couple of cups of coffee and moderate

1378
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:55,280
Speaker 1: amounts of beer or wine. I've got you covered on this,

1379
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:59,200
Speaker 1: except they don't drink coffee. The key word, of course,

1380
01:31:59,320 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 1: is modern. And they called this study which has been

1381
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:07,559
Speaker 1: going on since two thousand and three, and they've been

1382
01:32:07,640 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: examining people who are ninety years old nonagenarians. Seventeen hundred

1383
01:32:16,680 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: nonagenarians have been monitored since two thousand and three trying

1384
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:26,000
Speaker 1: to find the key to living to a ninetieth birthday

1385
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:29,479
Speaker 1: and beyond. And they found, among other things, that people

1386
01:32:29,479 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 1: who drank moderate amounts of alcohol or coffee lived longer

1387
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:36,439
Speaker 1: than those who abstained. And they also found that people

1388
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:40,799
Speaker 1: who were overweight in their seventies lived longer than normal

1389
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:45,799
Speaker 1: or underweight people did. So isn't that a little bit comforting?

1390
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: Everybody's got a couple extra pounds. I know the year

1391
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: was so busy, you didn't have time to lose ten pounds.

1392
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:56,880
Speaker 1: But they don't have an explanation for it yet. But

1393
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 1: the one of the researchers, doctor Cluttie Cowis, a key

1394
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:07,599
Speaker 1: researcher in the study, said that she firmly believes that

1395
01:33:07,840 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: modest drinking improves longevity. They found that two glasses of

1396
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 1: beer wine every day decrease the chances of premature death

1397
01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 1: by eighteen percent. Now I get a lot of heat

1398
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 1: because I openly admit to drinking wine virtually every day.

1399
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,679
Speaker 1: I don't drink to excess, I don't drink to get drunk.

1400
01:33:27,760 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 1: I enjoy a glass of wine or two and sometimes

1401
01:33:31,120 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 1: a third. And I promote responsible drinking and not drinking

1402
01:33:36,720 --> 01:33:42,920
Speaker 1: and driving. But this is good news. They still say

1403
01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 1: exercise is good and I agree. I think you have

1404
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,439
Speaker 1: to be able to endure your life, not just to

1405
01:33:49,479 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 1: sit there like a blob. But alcohol and coffee now

1406
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: being we are now being told alcohol and coffee can

1407
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 1: lead you to a beyond the age of ninety and

1408
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 1: even a couple of extra pounds. This, I bring good

1409
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:12,559
Speaker 1: news from the world of Sid's people. This fantastic news.

1410
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:18,160
Speaker 1: Now this other study, I mentioned it earlier. They claimed

1411
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:24,519
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the people in the country adults, seventy

1412
01:34:24,520 --> 01:34:30,680
Speaker 1: percent of the people in the country had conjugal relations

1413
01:34:30,760 --> 01:34:35,559
Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. I thought about this and I said, now,

1414
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:37,720
Speaker 1: how did they get this figure? How did they get

1415
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: to this? Well, they used a couple of things to

1416
01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 1: figure it out. One is births babies. They tracked when

1417
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:50,280
Speaker 1: babies were born, and they back timed it basically. And

1418
01:34:50,400 --> 01:34:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've done this, but as one

1419
01:34:52,520 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 1: of nine kids, I know that we have in over

1420
01:34:55,360 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 1: the course of the years, tried to figure out when

1421
01:34:57,720 --> 01:35:03,519
Speaker 1: we were created, at what point where each one of

1422
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:07,599
Speaker 1: us the spark of our lives started. So they go

1423
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:14,080
Speaker 1: back from birth months from August and September, and those

1424
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 1: seem to have a corresponding relationship to this study of

1425
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:22,720
Speaker 1: Americans being frisky during the winter months, especially during the

1426
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:26,519
Speaker 1: holiday season, when cuddling is very very much a part

1427
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:31,760
Speaker 1: of our culture. And they are now saying, according to

1428
01:35:31,800 --> 01:35:35,160
Speaker 1: this survey, which does come from a company that oddly

1429
01:35:35,240 --> 01:35:38,960
Speaker 1: enough makes its money by selling what we would call

1430
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:45,720
Speaker 1: adult devices, but they're saying Eden Fantasies put together this

1431
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:50,320
Speaker 1: study in the statistics that say seventy percent of adults

1432
01:35:50,400 --> 01:35:56,120
Speaker 1: claimed they had sex on Christmas Day, I'm questioning their facts,

1433
01:35:57,000 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 1: just saying I'm not sure if that's completely accurate. Also,

1434
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: I'm here in Chicago, and one of the big news

1435
01:36:03,520 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 1: stories today in Chicago, there's two news stories that involve

1436
01:36:08,439 --> 01:36:13,120
Speaker 1: the Windy City here. One of them talks about the

1437
01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 1: planned January nineteenth Women's March, which has now been scuttled.

1438
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 1: Chicago had set up plans for yet another annual women's march,

1439
01:36:27,040 --> 01:36:30,240
Speaker 1: and they're canceling this one. The save the date card

1440
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 1: you got is invalid. Take it off the fridge. Go

1441
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: to the Facebook page of the Women's March in Chicago

1442
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 1: if you want to see what happened. Now, Why why

1443
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: was this march, which has had hundreds of thousands of

1444
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:50,360
Speaker 1: women attend in the past. Why was this cancel. Oh,

1445
01:36:50,400 --> 01:36:52,880
Speaker 1: it's a little problem with the leaders of the march.

1446
01:36:54,120 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Kerensky, the Women's March Chicago board member, says, there's

1447
01:36:58,479 --> 01:37:01,639
Speaker 1: no march, there's no route. We're going to provide ways

1448
01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: for people to organize and take action in their local communities.

1449
01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 1: The problem is members of the Women's March are associated

1450
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: with bad people, people like, Oh, I don't know, Louis Farrakhan,

1451
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:20,280
Speaker 1: one of the biggest antisemites on the planet, a guy

1452
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:26,320
Speaker 1: whose organization, the Nation of Islam, openly hates Jews. And

1453
01:37:26,400 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 1: when you talk about Judaism as a gutter religion and

1454
01:37:30,400 --> 01:37:33,000
Speaker 1: you talk about the Jews as the enemy of you,

1455
01:37:34,640 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: I got a problem with that, Minister Farrakhan. So the

1456
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 1: Women's March, which has some people who are associated with

1457
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:51,800
Speaker 1: Louis Farrakhan, and they've been asked, some of the women

1458
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: have been asked to resign and they haven't. They've been

1459
01:37:55,160 --> 01:37:58,400
Speaker 1: asked to resign over the relationship with Farrakhan, a really

1460
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 1: bad guy, and yet they wouldn't. So the Women's March

1461
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 1: got heat here in Chicago and they've canceled it. The

1462
01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:12,560
Speaker 1: other woman who's involved with this women's march, Linda Sarsour,

1463
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 1: who I think is a dangerous individual. She's someone who

1464
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,720
Speaker 1: would support sharia law. She's a woman. You've seen her

1465
01:38:18,720 --> 01:38:23,200
Speaker 1: with the head scarf. I saw her rallying in the DC.

1466
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:27,600
Speaker 1: I was in the Senate building covering the women's me

1467
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:31,920
Speaker 1: two angry moments inside the Senate building during the Kavanaugh hearing,

1468
01:38:31,960 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 1: said Linda Sarsour was there rallying the sisters against Kavanaugh's nomination.

1469
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,839
Speaker 1: She's someone who has campaigned for people who support sharia

1470
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:46,200
Speaker 1: law in America, people in Michigan who were running for office.

1471
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:50,240
Speaker 1: Thank god they didn't win. And I would tend to

1472
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:52,920
Speaker 1: believe that Sarceur is probably somebody who does not have

1473
01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:56,600
Speaker 1: a problem with female genital mutilation. I haven't had a

1474
01:38:56,680 --> 01:38:59,120
Speaker 1: chance to ask her that question, but I seem to

1475
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:02,640
Speaker 1: recall there may have been a memory about that. But

1476
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,560
Speaker 1: Chicago's the other thing about the women's march, the Chicago's

1477
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:10,280
Speaker 1: Women's March that's been canceled January nineteenth. If you had

1478
01:39:10,320 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: plans to be in Chicago, I hope you bought the

1479
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 1: travel insurance. It's worth it. Sometimes. But here's the question

1480
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:21,840
Speaker 1: I have. I grew up in Chicago, I was born

1481
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 1: and raised on the South side of the city. Still

1482
01:39:24,040 --> 01:39:26,479
Speaker 1: a Bear fan, still a White Sox fan, not so

1483
01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:31,600
Speaker 1: much a Bulls fan anymore. And I support my Chicago Blackhawks,

1484
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:33,840
Speaker 1: even though we kind of stink on ice this year.

1485
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 1: But I know the city. I don't know who in

1486
01:39:36,880 --> 01:39:45,200
Speaker 1: the right mind would plan a rally in January. Who

1487
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:50,480
Speaker 1: would put a rally on the lake front on January nineteenth?

1488
01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 1: Who would do that? What kind of an idiot says,

1489
01:39:53,880 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 1: you know it would be smart. Let's all get together

1490
01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,080
Speaker 1: and stand on the lake front in the middle of

1491
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:05,920
Speaker 1: January in Chicago. That's just stupid. So maybe they're changing

1492
01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: it because of that, but it really has more to

1493
01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 1: do with the fact that they were getting tremendous pushback

1494
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 1: against their movement and this rally because of Louis Farrakon,

1495
01:40:16,240 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 1: because of some of the bad people they are associated with,

1496
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:21,120
Speaker 1: and I, for one, I'm glad to see that they're

1497
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:24,320
Speaker 1: actually having to shut it down. The other thing in

1498
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:29,679
Speaker 1: Chicago that happened I mentioned this earlier today. The Chicago

1499
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:33,679
Speaker 1: mayoral candidate, a guy who was Barack Obama's one time

1500
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:38,799
Speaker 1: Chief of staff Bill Daily. Harry he was a senior

1501
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 1: advisor to the president. Bill Daily relative of the Daily family,

1502
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 1: that basically it was run Chicago for decades. A couple

1503
01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:53,400
Speaker 1: of other people jumped in here and there, but Mayor

1504
01:40:53,600 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 1: Richard D. Jay Daily and his son both ran this

1505
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:01,599
Speaker 1: city for I think it was over twenty five years each.

1506
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:06,559
Speaker 1: But Bill Daily has now put his name in the

1507
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:09,799
Speaker 1: list of people who want to run for the mayor's

1508
01:41:09,880 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 1: office in Chicago, and he has suggested that they rename

1509
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:18,000
Speaker 1: a portion of the Dan Ryan Expressway as the Barack

1510
01:41:18,040 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 1: Obama Expressway. Now there are problems already because Chicago already

1511
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:27,360
Speaker 1: has part of ninety five called the Barack Obama Highway,

1512
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 1: and Dan Ryan, the guy that the road was named after,

1513
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:34,240
Speaker 1: was a key player in the interstate highway system development.

1514
01:41:36,240 --> 01:41:40,280
Speaker 1: So the Dan Ryan family's mad about this. And there

1515
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 1: are people saying there are actually people who like Barack Obama,

1516
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:46,639
Speaker 1: who say, well, wait a minute, and if you want

1517
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 1: to know more of the details on it. Our friend

1518
01:41:48,600 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 1: Emily Zanati of The Daily Wire has written up the

1519
01:41:51,400 --> 01:41:54,439
Speaker 1: story about the problems with us. But she points out

1520
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 1: the back in October, the Dan Ryan, which would then

1521
01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 1: be called the Barack Obama Highway was the scene of

1522
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 1: at least four shootings. Four shootings in October, at least

1523
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 1: one of the person in that round of shootings died.

1524
01:42:11,640 --> 01:42:14,320
Speaker 1: In August, two men were shot and one was killed

1525
01:42:14,720 --> 01:42:18,240
Speaker 1: on the Dan Ryan, and in just the last week,

1526
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 1: two men have been shot on the Dan Ryan. I

1527
01:42:22,320 --> 01:42:25,439
Speaker 1: don't know if Obama wants this road named after him.

1528
01:42:27,120 --> 01:42:29,519
Speaker 1: I just remember as a kid growing up driving from

1529
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:32,000
Speaker 1: the South Side to the North Side and back to

1530
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:37,080
Speaker 1: visit relatives. My father often called it the damn Ryan Expressway.

1531
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:43,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the appropriate name for this highway. Michael Pelka

1532
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 1: stepping aside when we get back after to tell you

1533
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:47,479
Speaker 1: the story of the two million dollar bathroom in New

1534
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:51,759
Speaker 1: York City. It's just craziness. It's the Buck Sexton Show.

1535
01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: Come on back, Michael Pelka in for Bucks Sexton, wrapping

1536
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 1: up what has been a blink of an eye. I

1537
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,160
Speaker 1: love the way the show moves, and I I wish

1538
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: we had the ability to have included your calls today.

1539
01:43:06,160 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 1: We had a few problems technically, but we got through it.

1540
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:12,560
Speaker 1: I didn't get to the weird story about Kevin spacing

1541
01:43:12,640 --> 01:43:16,680
Speaker 1: that video he posted after being charged with indecent assault,

1542
01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:21,040
Speaker 1: indecent sexual assault, and battery. I didn't get to the

1543
01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:27,080
Speaker 1: story of Barbie apparently has gotten chunky or maybe more realistic,

1544
01:43:27,520 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 1: and I think that's okay. Didn't get to the story

1545
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:34,479
Speaker 1: about how the networks are promoting an eleven year old

1546
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 1: dancing in bars and getting money thrown at the child. Yeah,

1547
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: it's okay if the kid's trance, But can you imagine

1548
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:51,680
Speaker 1: eleven year old girl dancing in a gentleman's club. There

1549
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 1: would be appropriate outrage, just as there should be in

1550
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 1: this case. But no, we're going to promote it because

1551
01:43:57,800 --> 01:44:03,800
Speaker 1: it's a trans kid who dresses and drag. It's disgusting.

1552
01:44:05,320 --> 01:44:07,240
Speaker 1: And then I want to give a salute out to

1553
01:44:07,360 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 1: John Stossel, who's always out there digging. And John Stossel

1554
01:44:12,800 --> 01:44:18,080
Speaker 1: has a report that he has posted on YouTube about

1555
01:44:18,160 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 1: the two million dollars bathroom in a park in New York.

1556
01:44:23,840 --> 01:44:26,479
Speaker 1: Not in Central Park, but I think this is one

1557
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:29,839
Speaker 1: of the outer boroughs. I'll give you a little surprise,

1558
01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 1: a little sample here here it is this little building

1559
01:44:34,680 --> 01:44:39,200
Speaker 1: is a two million dollars bathroom. Two million dollars. I

1560
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 1: had to check it out. I was expecting gold plated fixtures.

1561
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:47,519
Speaker 1: It's just a toilet, a couple of eurolds, two sinks.

1562
01:44:48,040 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: Two million dollars. Two million dollars was spent on this

1563
01:44:52,200 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 1: building in New York. Two million dollars on a tiny building.

1564
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,320
Speaker 1: And if you bought a home in the neighborhood in

1565
01:45:01,160 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 1: this little part of New York it looks like Brooklyn

1566
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:08,240
Speaker 1: or Queens, you could buy a four bedroom, two bathroom

1567
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 1: house for six hundred and fifty thousand dollars. And Stossel

1568
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:18,439
Speaker 1: tried to find out why why this costs so much.

1569
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,759
Speaker 1: What he found out was kind of astonishing. Thing costs

1570
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 1: more when government builds it. Washington, DC's Visitor Center was

1571
01:45:25,960 --> 01:45:28,519
Speaker 1: supposed to cost two hundred and sixty five million. It

1572
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:32,799
Speaker 1: ended up costing six hundred million. The Veterans Affair Medical

1573
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:36,160
Speaker 1: Center and your Denver was projected to cost five hundred

1574
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:41,200
Speaker 1: ninety million. Now they estimate one point seven billion. Government

1575
01:45:41,280 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: spends more because every decision is tied up in endless rules,

1576
01:45:45,520 --> 01:45:51,200
Speaker 1: minority outreach, wheelchair access, zoning rule, and much more. Your

1577
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:54,439
Speaker 1: department puts out a statement the current estimate to build

1578
01:45:54,479 --> 01:45:58,800
Speaker 1: a new bathroom is three million dollars. It is now

1579
01:45:58,840 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: approaching in some case is going over three million, Mitchell Silvers.

1580
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:06,760
Speaker 1: It's just disgusting when you see what goes on. And

1581
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:11,599
Speaker 1: Stossel points out that a private partnership in Bryant Park,

1582
01:46:11,800 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 1: which runs that park in Midtown Manhattan, rebuilt bathrooms for

1583
01:46:17,920 --> 01:46:23,560
Speaker 1: under half a million dollars. But no, this tiny structure,

1584
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 1: this little bitty basic industrial bathroom, costs the taxpayers of

1585
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: New York two million, and another one will cost them

1586
01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:36,799
Speaker 1: three to four million. You should check out John stossel stuff.

1587
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 1: It's brilliant. It's brilliant. Also, if you're interested in World

1588
01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:45,519
Speaker 1: War One and you're a historian, look up Peter Jackson,

1589
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:47,560
Speaker 1: the guy who did The Lord of the Rings and

1590
01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:50,080
Speaker 1: all those movies. He has a movie coming out one

1591
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 1: day only tomorrow. He's taken old footage from World War One,

1592
01:46:55,760 --> 01:47:00,120
Speaker 1: colorized it and hired people to do lip reading and

1593
01:47:00,200 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 1: get the real story of the soldiers from World War One.

1594
01:47:03,960 --> 01:47:07,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to be covering it and will be reporting

1595
01:47:07,040 --> 01:47:10,439
Speaker 1: on it as well. And so I thank you for

1596
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:14,599
Speaker 1: being with me tonight on a special night where we

1597
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 1: mark the anniversary of the guy who taught me about

1598
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:21,040
Speaker 1: free speech. My dad, f Gregory Opelka, passed away two

1599
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:24,840
Speaker 1: years ago. Today taught me that after the First Amendment,

1600
01:47:25,080 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 1: everything else comes. Second. Test studo, my friends, test studo
